He's 33 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.480 running for mayor city of Cincinnati. I guess as a 34 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.080 Republican and we all know what a Sissipian challenge that 35 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.280 is going to be. You can hear what Corey Bowman 36 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.120 has to say yesterday. And of course Jack Adaden who 37 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.680 he and his wife Amesley showed up at Listener Lunch 38 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.719 yesterday and thanks everybody mate to Listener Lunch. We had 39 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.960 a wonderful time yesterday, and props and cheers to the 40 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.560 Little Miami Brewing Company for allowing us to be there. 41 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.560 Met the owner there, he was so pleased we were there. 42 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.120 He loves when we show up and thanked everybody for 43 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.800 making it over there. So good fun, good good food, 44 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.240 great time, wonderful fellowship, great conversations, and uh yeah, I 45 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:47.680 lost again to cribbage Mike five points. I lost my 46 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.400 It's okay, I expect to do it. Listen. I didn't 47 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.919 spend you know, three months underwater in a submarine with 48 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.159 nothing to do with this. I don't accuse him of 49 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.479 not doing anything. Of course, people on submarines have jobs 50 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.719 to do. But I get this sneaking suspicion. They got 51 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:08.439 a lot of idle time on their hands. Can you imagine, 52 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.919 so they spent a lot of time playing cribbage, owning 53 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:17.960 their skills. Anyhow, I don't really quite know where to start. 54 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:22.159 I can start with DEI I can start with why 55 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:27.240 not just start with the city of Cincinnati rather than gravitate, 56 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.479 gravitate toward national issues. Sharon Colich from the Inquiry reporting 57 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.120 on this. Remember the railway money. Remember we fought over 58 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.080 the sale of the railway, and I was against the idea. 59 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.680 Christopher Smithman, vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, at 60 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.560 one point, was against the idea. We had a lot 61 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.159 of folks on the morning show talking about it, Folks 62 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.000 in the know, folks with experience on railway matters. Folks 63 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:58.280 that understood the reality of the value of owning that railway, 64 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:07.479 and yet folks voted to sell it. Obviously, you're entitled 65 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.080 to your opinion, you're entitled to make your cast, your vote. 66 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.360 But the promise was predicated right on the money generated 67 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.839 from the investment of the railway proceed and it went 68 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.720 into an investment account, and they promised to by rate 69 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.519 a return, and it was going to generate, of course, 70 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.079 like everybody's four to oh one k interest and money. 71 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.120 And they'd leave the principle alone, except under certain circumstances like, 72 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.519 for example, if the market were to crash or drop 73 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.839 or it wouldn't generate money, they would be allowed to 74 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.439 dip into principle from time to time. All kinds of 75 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.000 bells and whistles attached. But the primary predicate and limitation 76 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.319 was that the money generated from the sale of railroad 77 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:56.519 was going to do what fund existing infrastructure? And we 78 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.800 had lots of conversations about, well, what is existing infrastructure? 79 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.920 And you remember there's a general fund. So you got 80 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.560 the railroad money over here, and you got a general 81 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.920 fund over on the other side, and the general fund 82 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.959 funds well, maybe new projects question, If you build a 83 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.399 new project from general fund money, does that then become 84 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:22.040 existing infrastructure which allows you to use railroad proceed investment 85 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:26.160 money to well service it, maintain it, improve it, build 86 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.839 on it. The streetcar is an existing infrastructure. Would adding 87 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.240 an extra leg of the streetcar then becomes something that's 88 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.759 part of a previously existing infrastructure program that we will 89 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.160 be allowed to use railroad investment generated funds to service, maintain, upgrade, 90 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.560 or maybe even expand on. All these questions are floating 91 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.600 around and they remain floating around. But behind the scenes 92 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.360 of all this is the reality that money is fungible. 93 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.759 And I brought this up a bunch of times. If 94 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.920 you've got railroad money coming in, which allows you to 95 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.839 deal with and let's just say that they're gonna take 96 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.800 they're actually gonna treat quote existing infrastructure as something you 97 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.079 and I would readily understand to be something that was 98 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.040 already built. Well, you don't have to use general fund 99 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:26.560 money to maintain and keep up with existing infrastructure to 100 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.839 get two revenue sources. But in the final analysis, because 101 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.160 money is fundable, it's all one big pile of money. 102 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.519 Just because you trace the proceeds from the general fund 103 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:46.279 to some new project. You've alleviated the burden of the 104 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:53.800 general fund to maintain let's say roads. It's a bait 105 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.120 and switch. It was a joke from the get go 106 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.399 oh lo and behold Sharon Cooledge from the Cincinnat Choir, 107 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:05.040 reporting on this headline council proposal dedicate railway money to 108 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:13.560 fifteen underserved neighborhoods. If you are in an underserved neighborhood, 109 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.480 why don't you ask Sincinni City Council why your neighborhood 110 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.319 is underserved? How come you've been neglected for so long? 111 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.560 How come? Oh, I don't know. Let's say over the 112 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.959 Rhine got the benefit of millions and millions of General 113 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.079 Fund dollars to rehabilitate it and turn it into this 114 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.319 wonderful walking community where urban hipsters can live, thrive and survive, 115 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.240 and that you can no longer afford to live in. 116 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.759 Thrown it out, just asking you and the underserved neighborhoods, 117 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.079 ask yourself why five million dollars a year is being 118 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:48.680 thrown at a streetcar that no one uses. Wouldn't that 119 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:57.680 money be better served fixing your underserved community? So as 120 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.439 Sharon Coolidge. Thank you, Sharon for bringing this to our attention. 121 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.319 Some council members pushing to dedicate some of those since 122 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.680 a Southern Railway sale product proceeds to benefit these so 123 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:16.480 called underserved neighborhoods, despite that never being a part of 124 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:21.439 the deal sold to voters. Oh remember when you voted 125 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.439 for an assale for money to go to the now 126 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.240 paid Course Stadium formerly Paul Brown Stadium, and you were 127 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.600 promised that, oh, at some point you would get their 128 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.159 money back. They would. I'm sorry, we need to keep 129 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.360 that rate at the rate it is, because well, of 130 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.120 course we've got to pay. We've got to pay for 131 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.879 upgrades and stadium improvements and that ridiculous contract we negotiated. Yeah, 132 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:49.320 we lied to you. Basically, this proposal seeks each year 133 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.399 to allocate ten percent of the annual return on the 134 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.679 sale proceeds to improve existing infrastructure and spend twenty five 135 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.840 million dollars from the fund over time on new infrastructure. 136 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:12.879 In fifteen, neighborhoods dubbed the quote rising fifteen close quote. Now, 137 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.799 it's pointed out by Sharing that that latter part new 138 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.519 infrastructure would be prohibited by state law which governed the 139 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.799 railway before the sale and says the money can only 140 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.519 be spent on current infrastructure. Here's the bait and switch. 141 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:34.919 Vice Mayor Jan Michelle lemon Kearney, who's the one, I 142 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.279 guess that brought this idea up. So the city can 143 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:43.919 comply with the law by doing a money swap projects 144 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.559 using the twenty five million dollars would be done from 145 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.799 the capital budget, with the railroad money paying for a 146 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.080 current project outside of the fifteen neighborhoods that would have 147 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.519 been paid for out of the capitol budget. There it is, 148 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.519 there's your fungibility of money, exactly as I anticipated. Look, 149 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.000 we've got a new revenue source, so we can take 150 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:10.480 that new revenue source which is limited to existing infrastructure 151 00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.639 which the city was supposed to be maintaining from the 152 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.840 get go. And again I'll go back to Sunset Avenue. 153 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.559 How come it hasn't been repaved? And I know there's 154 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.399 a million roads out there in the city that have 155 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:24.720 been neglected, potholes, terrible, looking, awful, and you keep waiting 156 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.000 around for them to take care of them. Because it's 157 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:31.759 something that exists. And once you build it city, you 158 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.399 got to maintain it. It doesn't maintain itself part of 159 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.679 your job as an elected official is to take care 160 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.360 of the stuff that you built at the first place, 161 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:46.080 or that was built by prior administrations. Existing infrastructure, stuff 162 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.399 falls apart, roads deteriorate, the world's an imperfect place. Screws fallout. 163 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:53.879 But no, no, no, we got to have new stuff 164 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:55.960 and things. We got to build new stuff and things. 165 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.519 And now apparently there are some underserved neighborhoods. Oh my god, 166 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:05.759 really underserved neighborhoods who have been like many roads in 167 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:13.440 the City of Cincinnati neglected. So she's actually saying the 168 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.720 quiet part out loud. Money's fungible thanks to the railroad sale. 169 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.799 We can now argue that it's only going to existing 170 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.679 infrastructure previously covered by the general funds. But no, there's 171 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.919 that new revenue source over there, so we can free 172 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:33.759 up general fund money to do new stuff and things. 173 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.679 Vice mayor quote. We have to make good on this 174 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:51.879 promise to neighborhoods. Apparently, the first vote asking the city 175 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.720 manager to look at how money is being spent now 176 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.960 could come to council as soon as I guess next Wednesday. 177 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.240 Kearney said the goal was to pass a law in 178 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:10.200 the coming weeks. I guess creating this new project that way, 179 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:16.559 she said, future councils would have to continue the investments. 180 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.840 And does that mean the new investments that they are 181 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.879 created by this concept then become existing infrastructure that future 182 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.440 councils can funnel the railroad money over to keep and maintain. 183 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.320 And even that is a laughable concept, isn't it, given 184 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.679 that they don't keep and maintain a lot of the 185 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:44.399 stuff that they've already built and have let fall apart. 186 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.320 And in case you're wondering whether you're in an underserved neighborhood, 187 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.159 According to the reporting by Sharon Collidge of the en 188 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.919 Car right now village of roll Hill, Millville, Millville rather 189 00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.039 English Woods, Lower Price, Il, Queen's Gate, Went Hills, South Fairmont, 190 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.480 West End, East Westwood, Avondale, Roselawn, Mount Airy, East brice Hill, 191 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:09.320 South Cumminsville, and North Fairmont home to twenty percent of 192 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:15.559 the city's population and yet described as underserved. How long 193 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:27.840 have they been underserved? And how many years in a 194 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:32.360 row have you elected Democrats to run the city of Cincinnati. 195 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.840 Do you have an expectation when you continue to do 196 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.759 the same thing over and over and over and over 197 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.240 again that your underserved neighborhood is actually going to get 198 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.080 attention by the elected officials and running the city of Cincinnati. Yeah, 199 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:58.279 good luck with that. Kearnyan. Council members Scottie Johnson and 200 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.039 Victoria Parks was this motion to move this concept forward, 201 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.639 argue and again relying on Sharon Coolidge reporting, argue, these 202 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:14.279 changes would ensure there's that word equity in the disbursement 203 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.840 of proceeds. Well, you know what, let's just dispense with 204 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.679 equity and let's just take a look at what neighborhoods 205 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.919 are served and which ones are underserved. I would argue 206 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.039 over the rhine in the Central Business District perhaps well 207 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:33.600 if not overly served. And I imagine if you're in 208 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.399 one of the underserved neighborhoods, in your roads deteriorating, and 209 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.919 you have no services, crime may be high, on and 210 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.840 on and on whatever constitutes underserved. You might look at 211 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.240 that Central Business District and all the money that's flowed 212 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:53.840 into it, including pay course stadium, and feel like, hmm, 213 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.759 that's just not fair. Five point twenty fifty five cares 214 00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.480 the talk station. Feel free to call. I'd love to 215 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.080 hear from you.

This is fifty 218 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:16.120 five KRC and iHeartRadio Station five twenty three couple in 219 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:22.480 five twenty four fifty five KRS detalk station. My disregard 220 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.360 for the clock running along in the last segment, but 221 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.159 I tend to be a little long winded sometimes, but 222 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.480 you can help out by calling. I'll have local stories 223 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.320 coming up to the next segment. Apps some phone calls, 224 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.919 Joe Strekker observes that have Purvoll's panties may be bunching up. 225 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:43.559 Why well. A few hours after she was sworn in, 226 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.480 new Attorney General, Pambondi directed the Justice Department of pause 227 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.720 all federal funding for sanctuary cities. 228 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.240 AFTAB. 229 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.279 She charged the Department of Justice with identifying any valueing 230 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.600 funding agreements with non governmental organizations that provide support to 231 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:10.720 undocumented immigrants, investigating instances of sanctuary jurisdictions who might be 232 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:15.519 obstructing law enforcement, and directing the day be prosecuted when necessary. 233 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.399 And Trumps have a profound effect on these sanctuary cities. 234 00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.639 I mean you heard have to have Purval and you 235 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.559 heard CHARMEI McGuffey utter statements which are inconsistent with the 236 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.039 Trump administration's effort to get ice in and get rid 237 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.519 of criminal illegal aliens, saying they wouldn't cooperate, only to backpedal, 238 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.639 recognizing the Trump administration and now the new Attorney General 239 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:43.360 Pam Bondi, threatening to well, perhaps prosecute them for obstructing justice. 240 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:50.720 It's a crime. Apparently, several offices within the Justice Department 241 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:56.000 provided are you ready you again worked for this your money, 242 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:04.880 your labor, resulting at one point five to six billion 243 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.200 dollars and grants the sanctuary cities and county. You're twenty 244 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:17.880 twenty three alone, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. Apparently, 245 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.920 last month US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a nonprofit, 246 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.799 warned how slash funds could endanger sanctuary jurisdictions. Well, no, 247 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:31.119 it would endanger the non governmental organization's mere existence because 248 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.799 if you cut off federal funding, they're not going to 249 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.640 make any money. They don't produce anything. They are suckers 250 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:43.359 up of cash. Joke about legal departments and companies. They 251 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.400 provide a valuable service for companies, but rarely do they 252 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:52.200 generate revenue. Non governmental organizations exist because your taxpayer dollars 253 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.279 fund them, and in many cases they your your dollars 254 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.720 fund activities that run contrary to your in Can you 255 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.519 imagine of one point five six billion dollars rather than 256 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.240 going to non government organizations helping illegal immigrants stay here 257 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.640 went to Oh, I don't know how about underserved communities 258 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.359 in the city of Cincinnati.

Jeline weather forecast. 261 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:28.279 Let's see here, they say, at the extent you got 262 00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.079 rain out there to have be gone by round eight 263 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:35.880 o'clock this morning and today mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies. 264 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.400 Say they expect to see the sunshine showing up around 265 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.240 one o'clock. I have fifty five overnight low at thirty 266 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.680 with partly cloudy skies, mostly sunny.

Let's see year, Why does 270 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.000 my temperature disappear forty degrees right now? Karsity talk station 271 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.640 five thirty, I pitch a five kars you talk station. 272 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:19.000 I saw these guys in concert. Good show. Let us 273 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:23.160 see two three talk found five thirteen Any teams to fudds? 274 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:26.880 I know, I say that a lot. I encourage people 275 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.400 to call and encourage people to head undred fifty five 276 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.799 cars dot commin edition of the podcast, like, for example, 277 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:37.000 Judge Annapolitano on an esoteric matter of law tariffs, specifically 278 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.240 iHeart Media app. You can download that on your smart 279 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.400 device and listen to any of the iHeart Media content 280 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.440 wherever you happen to be.

Please 287 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.640 in Bellevue asking to help identify a car that hit 288 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.160 a woman that happened at four am yesterday morning.

If you're out of 291 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:29.799 the roads right now, look for silver vehicles with a 292 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.799 hatch back. I'm sorry the woman got had I just 293 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.799 you know, surveillance footage of the incident apparently is out there. 294 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:40.960 It shows the car striking a woman on a scooter 295 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.559 in the one in the block of Fairfield to have it, 296 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:44.640 and then driving away once the woman sits up and 297 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.680 begins screaming please. Chief. Jonathan McClain, talking with Fox nineteen 298 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:55.200 reporting on this thanks, Brady Williams called the footage upsetting, said, 299 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:57.920 I don't know how anyone cannot stop and render aid 300 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:02.079 in that situation, Isn't that true? Woman who was hit 301 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:07.599 does not have life threatening injuries, thankfully so they Officer 302 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.119 mclaim could not say what her injuries were beyond just 303 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:14.799 a likely concussion, said. Police are continuing the investigation. They've 304 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.400 been locating more surveillance footage ring doorbell cameras, for example. 305 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:20.119 I'm sure someone in the area has got more of that. 306 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.759 Anyone with information that was urged to contact the Cincinna 307 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.799 Police Department, actually the Bellevue Police Department eight nine two 308 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.519 six one eleven twenty two. I should have known that 309 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:34.279 because I said Bellevue a moment ago, still firing on 310 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.720 four of eight A five nine two six one eleven 311 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.079 twenty two. Now I just have to wonder if they 312 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.799 have surveillance footage, couldn't they come up with a better 313 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:50.960 description of the automobile beyond a silver car with a hatchback? 314 00:21:54.200 --> 00:22:00.839 Just asking three hundred and thirty million dollars mixed use 315 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:05.039 development slated a break ground in the West End in 316 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:13.240 early summer WCPO was mcconnor Steffan reporting, can we just 317 00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:15.519 talk about lack of funds and the allocation of money 318 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.160 to underserved neighborhoods. As the underserved neighborhoods look on, we 319 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.359 have a new three hundred and thirty million dollar mixed 320 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.440 use development going on over on that side of town, 321 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:28.880 Noah O'Brien said. People are off the charts excited. I 322 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.160 don't know if you can see it in my face. 323 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.839 This is the kind of opportunity that just doesn't exist 324 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.799 in the West End. Noah O'Brien enthusiasm shared by Jeff Birding, 325 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.960 president and CEO of FC Cincinnati, the project's master developer. 326 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.440 Everyone is welcome, regardless of income levels, he pointed out, 327 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.039 assuming you can afford the cost of a beer at 328 00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.079 TQL Stadium. Sentiment from the people in the West End 329 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.319 is we want to have nice things in our neighbor hood. 330 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.920 Going back to my comments about the underserved neighborhoods that 331 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.759 vice Mayor is interested in serving with the railroad dollars 332 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:15.480 as they look on with envy. The Entertainment District development 333 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.240 recently received a twenty six million dollar tax credit from 334 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.119 the State of Ohio. Plan to include a concert venue, 335 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:27.039 high rise hotel, restaurants and bars, apartments, retail and office space, 336 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:31.119 and more. And I'm sure those people on life's margins 337 00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.279 will be able to afford the cost of any of 338 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:47.880 those venues. How Joe Streker cracking me up, he said, 339 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:53.440 there will be plenty more cars to break into. Wow. Anyway, Brian, 340 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.279 there's so many people who are excited at the opportunity 341 00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.799 on their kid's birthday to be able to go sit down, 342 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.880 served a meal and just to experience something beautiful. It's 343 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:07.039 a really a game changer. They say. Cruise will resurrect 344 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.960 two thirteen story towers that will sit over fifty feet 345 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:17.440 taller than TQL Stadium according to renderings. Birding said one 346 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:19.559 will be an apartment building, so we look forward to 347 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.920 having more people living in the West End. The other 348 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.039 building will be a hotel with some condominiums on top 349 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.559 project expecting to create approximately two thousand, one hundred and 350 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:36.880 two construction jobs and sixteen hundred and ninety nine permanent 351 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:39.240 jobs at the project side. And before I part company, 352 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:44.240 I know, Joe, that's exactly what it's gonna say.

According to police, 409 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:40.559 the conflict escalated when Irene responded by throwing ranch dressing 410 00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:43.319 at the victims. She then went into the kitchen returned 411 00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:47.079 with a bucket of hot grease, which she threw at 412 00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:54.000 the victims.

She claimed the tossed oil didn't 420 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:28.079 strike the patron Joe. The recipients of the hot oil, Dowston, 421 00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:31.480 complained the liquid burned upon impact and resulted in shiny 422 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.440 burnt skin. Crime scene investigator photographed their injuries when cops 423 00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:38.359 arrived there. At the wingstop, the eatery floor was greasy 424 00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.440 and slippery, that's in the report, and it appeared the 425 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:43.599 workers attempted to clean the oil that was all over 426 00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:47.359 the floor.

What you need to do is get in 430 00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.279 touch with cover SENSI friend John Roman and the team 431 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:02.880 it covers since that you can work with any one 432 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:04.839 of the team members. They are brilliant in what they do, 433 00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:06.839 and what they do is find a better way to 434 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:12.400 ensure you medically. They work for you. It's like a 435 00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.599 fiduciary obligation. They have your best interest in mind. They 436 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.839 treat everyone individually, which is important because everyone's situation is 437 00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:23.559 different when it comes to medical care. You know, you 438 00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:26.559 got way more choices than the Obamacare and the ninety 439 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:31.400 two hundred dollars annual out of pocket responsibility you have upfront. 440 00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.559 How about having dollar one coverage. That's an interesting concept, 441 00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:40.240 isn't it, including less monthly premium. And I know it 442 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.519 always sounds impossible to believe, but they do it every day. 443 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.000 There's no obligation for you. You do not have to 444 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.680 pay them anything. Call and inquire. They'll ask you a 445 00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:51.960 bunch of questions when you call them.

And 449 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:01.599 because they have access to more than two hundred insurance 450 00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:06.319 companies and literally thousands of insurance policies, what they do 451 00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:09.480 is create a package. It's like layered coverage. So this 452 00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.240 policy will deal with you out of your upfront you know, 453 00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:15.359 annual physicals or something with you know, no out of 454 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.480 pocket responsibility, and then if you have major catastrophic issues, 455 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:20.279 you get another policy to do with that and they 456 00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:24.519 will take care of literally everything down the road. Let's 457 00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:26.599 say you get an EOB your claim is denied, You're like, 458 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:28.119 what the hell is this all about? You don't have 459 00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.039 to call the insurance company and ask you this call 460 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:31.759 cover sense you and let the team do the job 461 00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:35.000 for you, and that doesn't cost you anything.

Caldwell, Idaho man accused of 538 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.360 using a homemade bar code to purchase a three hundred 539 00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:03.400 dollars bill for the price of a canna tomato soup. 540 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.400 And you wonder who scanned the thing and actually allowed 541 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:13.960 this transaction to go forward without questioning it at the time. Anyway, 542 00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:17.400 Callwell Police Department issue a statement on Instagram regards the 543 00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.719 man who stole the grill from the Walmart location in Caldwell, Idaho. 544 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.119 Officers are spotted there after receiving a call but a 545 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:27.920 theft in progress.

Thorite to say.

During the incident, Rockwell had used the 553 00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:57.079 barcode to purchase the three hundred dollars grill, which ultimately 554 00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:01.840 was recovered by police following the arrest, charged with Well 555 00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:13.960 a number of different crimes. All Right. Miami, Florida, a 556 00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:17.480 woman was arrested after she beat her daughter with a 557 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:20.960 metal guitar and a wooden broomstick. Wh why are you 558 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:24.199 doing that seriously injuring the girl, according to authorities, rest 559 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:29.760 report says saida or Lania Castellanos, fifty two years old, 560 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:33.039 picking up her daughter from school on Monday in Little 561 00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:35.760 Havana neighborhood when she became angry and frustrated that her 562 00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.639 daughter had her waiting for more than ten minutes. Oh dear, 563 00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:43.519 what the hell? Mimi? Police says. She became more upset 564 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:46.559 after discovering her daughter, whose age wasn't disclosed in the report, 565 00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:49.360 was late coming out of school because she was hanging 566 00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:54.119 out with a group of boys. This woman and her 567 00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:56.719 daughter got into an argument inside the car, at which 568 00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:59.320 time mom called her daughter a whore. 569 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:00.159 What. 570 00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:05.920 Once they arrived at home, Castellanos ordered her daughter to 571 00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:09.559 immediately begin doing her chores. According to the report, Police 572 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:14.199 say the daughter instead went to her bedroom to change 573 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:16.920 out of her uniform first, which angered her mom, who 574 00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:19.519 entered the room and began verbally insulting her daughter. A 575 00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:23.159 physical fight ensued, at which time Castellanas grabbed her daughter 576 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.480 by the hair dragged her into the hallway while slapping 577 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.199 her repeatedly in the face. The victim tripped on a 578 00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.480 piece of furniture landed on the floor, which time the 579 00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:33.000 mom grabbed a metal guitar that was attached to the 580 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:36.679 wall and began hitting her daughter with it, causing serious injuries. 581 00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:42.000 Just away God bless America. Then she grabbed a wooden 582 00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:44.480 brimstick from the closet and beat her daughter with it, 583 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:47.440 causing it to break in half. Victim's fifteen year old 584 00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:50.079 sisters saw the beating and provided police with a video 585 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:55.360 capturing the abuse. Victims suffered multiple lacerations to her face, 586 00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:57.880 scratches to both sides of her face, and a bruised 587 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:01.480 right eye and lydmark uh and marks on our back, 588 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:04.519 according to the rest report. With the injury sustained by 589 00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:11.280 the doubt to show clear indications of permanent disfigurement.

Being held at the Turner Gifford 592 00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:21.400 Knight Correctional Center, with the bond yet to be set. 593 00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:23.119 You know what we need to do, Joe. 594 00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:29.519 We need to outlaw guitars and broomsticks because they can 595 00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:33.039 lead to violence and injury. We need to outlaw them 596 00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:38.880 no longer. No longer should guitars or broomsticks be sold anywhere. 597 00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:40.840 Five point fifty seven fifty five. 598 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:42.000 Nights for old people. 599 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.119 Five garriously the Doug Station. I'll be back after the news. 600 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.239 Covering Trump's first one hundred days day, every day promises made, 601 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.480 the promises kept. Fifty five krs. 602 00:39:55.039 --> 00:40:02.840 The talk station Monster bt cap at six oh five. 603 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:08.719 Here if you about Karriseevie talk station, Try Thomas fishing 604 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:11.119 everyone a very happy Friday, Eve as I like to 605 00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:14.320 call it on a Thursday. Coming up at seven point thirty. 606 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.480 The Rundown, Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity. What 607 00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:21.760 is the tjc JA, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. 608 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:24.880 We'll walk through that together with Donovan and Neil for 609 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:28.280 Americans for Prosperity. Aight, oh five, Mark Meckler, he's a 610 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:33.880 Convention of States, President, question, do we need one? A 611 00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.679 Convention of States? I get mixed reactions from my listening 612 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.159 audience and the concept. You know, some people are thinking 613 00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:42.239 it's a great idea. Others think it'd be a runaway 614 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:46.239 machine too, and you know, enshrine leftist policies and undermine 615 00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:49.719 the Constitution. But we'll get the opinions of Mark Mechler 616 00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.239 at ATO five together. And of course it's Thursday, so 617 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:54.639 we get Jay Ratliffe. I heard me, the aviation expert, 618 00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:57.360 Jay Ratliffe. We'll hear about the latest update on the 619 00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:03.480 DC helicopter plane craft Airlines sues a couple for on 620 00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:09.679 an onboard fight. Ninety thousand dollars at stake there plus 621 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.599 Elon Musk says President Trump is ready to make the 622 00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:17.840 necessary technical upgrades the air traffic control network quickly. Man. 623 00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:21.079 The left is going out of their minds over Elon Musk. 624 00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.159 He's not president, no kidding, He's an advisor. You know, 625 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:28.320 presidents can surround themselves with any advisors they want. Just 626 00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:31.360 because he's in an elected capacity. And we can argue 627 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:33.199 all day long about whether that's a good thing or 628 00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:36.440 bad thing. But you know, the best presidents out there 629 00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:41.360 have surrounded themselves with the best and brightest people. I mean, 630 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.239 Reagan is a great illustration of that. You know, Ronald 631 00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:47.079 Reagan did surround himself with some really good people. Now 632 00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:48.639 you can go ahead and pick and choose some of 633 00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:52.159 the ones you disagree with, but the better people around you, 634 00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:55.519 the better job you're going to do. And let's face it, 635 00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:59.719 despite what Alexander Acasio Cortes may think or conclude about 636 00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:04.719 Eli Musk, he's demonstrably a brilliant man. You may not 637 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.400 agree with everything he is, but he is brilliant. Look 638 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.119 at what he was able to accomplish. Look at the 639 00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:11.880 businesses he built. You know how he built them one 640 00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:14.360 because he's brilliant at two, because he hired the best 641 00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:19.039 and bride his meritocracy is what built Elon Musk's multi 642 00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:26.400 billion dollar worth. He employs thousands of people, he helps 643 00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:29.639 fund the federal government because every one of those people 644 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:37.320 makes a great salary and pays income taxes. Just pulling 645 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:41.960 their hair out over him five three, seven, four nine 646 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.119 fifty five hundred eight hundred two three dog pound five 647 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:46.159 fifty on eight and t fos fifty five krcy dot 648 00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:47.800 com getri. I heard media app but that out of 649 00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:51.000 the way, real quick fun fact. What an amazing thing 650 00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:56.000 elections have in terms of consequences after years of no 651 00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:59.719 one wanting to sign up for America's military, probably because 652 00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.280 it had gone full on woke and the message got 653 00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:05.039 out about that the true American patriots who love their 654 00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.159 country and the freedoms and liberties that it stands for, 655 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:11.440 are not inclined to join America's military. Defense Secretary Pete 656 00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:17.079 Hegseeth announced yesterday that the Army had its best recruitment 657 00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:26.400 month in fifteen years during the month of January. Cord 658 00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:28.880 to the Post on acts breaking. In December twenty twenty four, 659 00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:32.000 the US Army had its best recruiting number in twelve years. 660 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:34.519 January twenty twenty five, the Army hit its best recruiting 661 00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:38.840 number in fifteen years. Bottom line, he said, America's youth 662 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.639 want to serve under the bold and strong America First 663 00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:48.400 leadership of Donald Trump. It's amazing, isn't it? Already reaching 664 00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:51.599 the halfway mark toward what the goal is described as 665 00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:55.480 being ambitious of getting sixty one thousand active duty soldiers 666 00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:59.880 this calendar year, while fiscal year anyway, which started an 667 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.000 October last year, in fiscal year twenty twenty four, of 668 00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.840 the goal was fifty five thousand. Don't think they met 669 00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:09.199 it because well, apparently no one wants to work or 670 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:13.599 actually serve in a woke military now. Some have blamed 671 00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:17.639 the recruitment crisis that we've been facing for years on well, obesity, 672 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:26.760 academic performance, COVID pandemic. Hegzeth said the crisis stems from 673 00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:32.920 the military losing its warrior ethos. I'll let you decide 674 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:39.079 whether the figures support Hegsath's conclusion. I would say that 675 00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:44.880 they do. Over to Andrew Grossman and Crystal Christian Shapiro, 676 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.880 a lot of news and information about DEI and the 677 00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:54.480 eradication of it. Google now has killed diversity hiring targets. 678 00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:59.159 One headline West Point has gotten rid of gender based 679 00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:04.039 in race based clubs because they're divisive and run contrary 680 00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.760 to the military ethos. But Andrew Grossman and Christian Shapiro, 681 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:12.039 writing column headline DEI and disparate impact, The next step 682 00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:15.400 in restoring meritocracy is to reject the theory that proportionate 683 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:18.519 outcomes equal fairness, and it's an interesting observation they make. 684 00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:22.320 Writing on day two of his administration, President Trump ordered 685 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.880 federal agencies to terminate diversity equity inclusion programs in the 686 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:29.679 government and combat them in the private sector. And of 687 00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.639 course Trump can't force the private sector to abandon DEI, 688 00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:36.840 but he can focus on and point out that meritocracy 689 00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.079 is what makes businesses great. Referring back to my comments 690 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:46.400 about Musk, the order follows through on his promise to 691 00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:51.519 forge a color blind, merit based society and to end 692 00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:54.719 the engineering of race and sex in every aspect of 693 00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:58.199 American life. Content a character, not color of skin. 694 00:45:58.360 --> 00:45:58.480 Right. 695 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:02.400 If mister Trump is serious about his goal, he also 696 00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:10.400 needs to repudiate disparate impact theory, which prohibits neutral practices 697 00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:14.880 facially neutral practices that ultimately have a disproportionate impact on 698 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.880 whatever protected group you want to point to, in practice 699 00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:21.840 often harming the very people it's supposed to protect, and 700 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:26.000 they point out it's unconstitutional. Disparate impact theory first recognized 701 00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.199 by the Supreme Court in a case called Griggs versus 702 00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:31.800 Duke Power back in nineteen seventy one, saying Title seven 703 00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:35.960 of the sixty four Civil Rights that prohibits discrimination by employers. 704 00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:41.960 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission applied this prohibition to any policy 705 00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:46.760 that had a disparate impact on racial minorities, even if 706 00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:52.599 there was no intentional discrimination. They argue that the purpose 707 00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:56.519 of Title seven was to accomplish economic results, not merely 708 00:46:56.639 --> 00:47:00.360 to influence motives or feelings. The Justice is agreed and 709 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.079 block power from requiring a passing score on a standardized 710 00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.119 test and a high school diploma as a condition of 711 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:11.679 employment because these requirements disqualified black applicants at a higher 712 00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:14.119 rate than whites. Again, we're going back to nineteen seventy 713 00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:19.079 one here. Griggs limited aptitude testing by employers, but not 714 00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:26.280 the need for aptitude. And that's the salient point. One 715 00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:28.800 of the ways you can judge meritocracy and your ability 716 00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.960 to do the job is because of these testing that 717 00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:34.719 ultimately has a disparate impact on one racial minority or 718 00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.719 in a racial group or another. I mean, you still 719 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:41.840 need aptitude to do the job. So what they did 720 00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:45.360 businesses pivoted over to a college degree requirement, which they 721 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:48.480 said seemed legally safer because college is widely engaged in 722 00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:55.400 racial balancing. But applicants with ability but lacking the college 723 00:47:55.519 --> 00:48:01.360 education were blocked from positions. Griggs was limited to employment law, 724 00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:03.800 but disparate impact theory has since infected many levels of 725 00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:05.719 the federal government. Get a load of this. It applies 726 00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:08.320 to federally funded programs under Titles six of the Civil 727 00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:12.159 Rights Act, creditors under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, landlords 728 00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:15.440 under the Fair Housing Act, broadband providers under the Infrastructure 729 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:20.679 Investment in Jobs Act. It's been used to block criminal 730 00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:25.280 background tests on rent applications, school discipline policies, and underwriting 731 00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:28.960 criteria for home insurance. Landlords successfully sued the City of 732 00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:33.559 Saint Paul, Minnesota for quote unquote aggressively enforcing its housing 733 00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:38.159 codes because it required landlords to respond to roadent infestations, 734 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:42.400 broken smoke detectors, and other hazards which could increase rent 735 00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:49.760 and ergo disproportionately affect black tenants. Supreme Court has repeatedly 736 00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:56.280 emphasized that racial balancing is quote patently unconstitutional close quote 737 00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:59.280 that from Students for Fair Housing versus Harvard to twenty 738 00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:02.039 twenty three to CIS, as well as other decisions. Yet, 739 00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:04.440 as the Justice is explained in a case called Ricci 740 00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.840 versus di Stefano, two thousand and nine. Desperate impact theory 741 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:13.119 dictates the policies with and quote undesirable racial effect close 742 00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:19.119 quote are invalid. If a race neutral policy affects racial outcomes, 743 00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:23.039 or even appears to do so. The burden ultimately falls 744 00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:25.119 on the employer to prove the policy is essential, a 745 00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:31.119 daunting standard. In practice, this means employers, landlords, and other 746 00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:35.320 business must track and plan for racial outcomes and maintain 747 00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:38.519 racial balance before adopting policies such as drug tests. They 748 00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:42.360 must assess the racial impact and consider alternatives that might 749 00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:46.800 achieve more desirable racial balance. Race must be constantly monitored 750 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:51.079 to identify potential liabilities. As just as Anthony Scaliam noted 751 00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:55.639 in his concurring opinion in that Ricci case, disparate impact 752 00:49:55.679 --> 00:50:00.599 theory places quote a racial thumb on the scale close qui, 753 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:07.079 requiring employers to make decisions because of racial outcomes. Mister Trump, accordingly, 754 00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:10.039 should direct his administration to reverse all rules and cease 755 00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:13.800 enforcement based on disparate impact theory, and he should support 756 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.920 litigation challenging its constitutionalities. Scalia Warren in the Reachi case 757 00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:20.119 that one day the Supreme Court will have to confront 758 00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:25.480 the question whether or to what extent are the disparate 759 00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:28.480 impact provisions of Titles seven of the Civil Rights Act 760 00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:34.239 nineteen sixty four consistent with the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. 761 00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:39.679 They conclude, mister Trump should bring forth that day of 762 00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:48.079 reckoning Merit Merit six sixteen fifty five K.

Feel free to call Joe. You think nobody 815 00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:43.400 wants to talk to me. Do you ever get that 816 00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:47.280 feeling maybe we should give something away, pull out something 817 00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:50.679 from your office. Joe, Oh, that's right. You don't have 818 00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:58.840 an office neither do. I talk to Tony the Big 819 00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:00.920 Dog Bender one day about I said, I feel kind 820 00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:02.360 of strange. I know, I listen, I know what the 821 00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:03.800 ratings are, and I know there's lots of people in 822 00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:06.320 the listening audience. If we give away like concert tickets, 823 00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:10.360 the phones just like blow up immediately. I said, I 824 00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:11.920 kind of get concerned. I feel like I'm a lone 825 00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:13.920 voice in the wilder. And I said, nobody's out there listening. 826 00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:15.119 And you know, you got a listener to lunch. You 827 00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:17.000 got people listening all the time, and it's such a 828 00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:22.599 wonderful thing. It's it gives me an emotional boost. But 829 00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:24.760 I mentioned that the Bender one day because he is 830 00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:29.119 the program director for a long time, and he said, yeah, 831 00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:31.000 I was having a conversation one time. I would say 832 00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:32.960 he was on the air covering for someone, and you 833 00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:35.679 know that was the conversation they were having off air, 834 00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:39.199 which is, you know, nobody's calling on the program. So 835 00:54:39.320 --> 00:54:41.599 he said, I tell you what, pick an item out 836 00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:43.480 of your office. I can't remember who he was talking to, 837 00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:47.519 but someone who he was, who was it Rich Wahlberg, 838 00:54:48.639 --> 00:54:53.360 go grab something we could give away from your office. 839 00:54:53.719 --> 00:54:55.719 It was like like a coffee mug or just some 840 00:54:56.039 --> 00:55:00.559 random item. And they said, collar number six, gonna get 841 00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:04.800 this thing. It was a stapler. That's right, he was 842 00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:08.199 a stapler. And the minute he said that, the fuck 843 00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:13.800 lef just blew up immediately. Anyway, I can just yeah, well, 844 00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:15.480 what's on your mind? What do you want to talk about? 845 00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:19.159 Forty thousand folks so far have decided to resign from 846 00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.400 the federal government. And that's actually not that that has 847 00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:25.000 not yet met Donald Trump's target to get rid of 848 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:28.440 federal government employees. But so far, forty thousand workers have 849 00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:31.880 agreed to resign and take their salaries through September and 850 00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:36.559 go find another job. Officer Personnel Management yesterday on a 851 00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:39.599 call with officials, said the number of federal workers who've 852 00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:43.519 accepted the resignation offer actually more than forty thousand. Another 853 00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:46.039 person confirmed the figure was above forty thousand at least 854 00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:49.159 as of yesterday afternoon. The deadlines today, so more people 855 00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:52.119 could take them up on the offer, and they expect 856 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:56.400 the numbers to rise rapidly today given that the deadline 857 00:55:56.400 --> 00:56:00.320 I think is at five pm today, So the White 858 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:02.800 House originally expected to be between five and ten percent 859 00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:05.719 of federal employees would quit. That would be about one 860 00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:13.360 hundred billion dollars in annual savings. As presently, there are 861 00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:16.000 about two million Americans working for the federal government in 862 00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:20.199 civilian jobs. Some of those employees are exempted from the offers, 863 00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:23.199 So there actually are employees out there in the federal 864 00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:26.480 government that even the Trump administrations believed to be absolutely necessary. 865 00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:33.159 And as we reported and talked about yesterday, USAID, which 866 00:56:33.239 --> 00:56:36.800 funds all kinds of nonsensical programs around the four corners 867 00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:39.000 of the world with a forty billion dollar a year 868 00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:42.519 annual budget, all of them, or nearly all of them, 869 00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:44.920 have been placed on administrative leave. That was as of 870 00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:49.320 Saturday morning. Dozens of Education Department employees already placed on 871 00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:52.079 administrative leave as well. They're doing their best to get 872 00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:54.480 rid of the Department of Education. Maybe they won't be 873 00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:57.280 able to do it. Congressionally created it was, but if 874 00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:00.880 you defund it, she could have a sign on the 875 00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:03.800 door that says Department of Education. If no one's working 876 00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:06.840 in there because they have no funding, you've effectually ended 877 00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.639 it more employees who were deemed as working in diversity 878 00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:18.000 equity inclusion offices. I've all been phased out. Oh look 879 00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:20.960 at the phones. Thank you very much. We're gonna get 880 00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:26.880 to the car. My desperate plea actually bore fruit. Look 881 00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:29.360 hang on a second. I'm looking forward to rather than 882 00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:31.559 doing local stories talking to the folks that have called 883 00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:35.920 in this morning. I apologize for the desperation. Foreign Exchange, 884 00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:39.320 call Ford Exchange. Get your imported car, whether it actually 885 00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:42.119 is truly imported. You know what a traditional import is, 886 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:44.639 like a Toyota, or maybe a Hyundai or a Kia. 887 00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:47.719 Got ourselves a Kia to replace the Honda, and that'll 888 00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:51.159 be serviced at Foreign Exchange once the warranty is over. 889 00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:54.960 With Foreign Exchange fixes your car for less money. You 890 00:57:55.159 --> 00:57:57.599 do not sacrifice anything, but based on the quality of 891 00:57:57.599 --> 00:58:00.559 the mechanical ability. They have a se certified Master to technicians. 892 00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:04.320 They know what they're doing. They have your manufacturer's technical information, 893 00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:07.159 whether it's an Asian or European import or a Tesla. 894 00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:10.760 They service Tesla's now, and they do a great job, 895 00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:13.480 and they'll treat you really wonderfully. I've never ever had 896 00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:15.719 a bad experience with Foreign Exchange.

But Howard Howard is annoyed by the bumping 966 01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:10.639 sound he hears, and I wasn't aware of it bumping 967 01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:12.400 the microphone, he said. It makes want to turn the 968 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:14.719 station off. And I think I know what it is. 969 01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:19.480 It's the boom it's got. It's it's sticky, and when 970 01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:21.559 I move it to adjust it so it's in the 971 01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:24.719 right position, I think that's where that sound is coming from.

You have 1024 01:04:46.639 --> 01:04:49.760 a left hand. Absolutely no problem with Anthony Fauci, who 1025 01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:53.559 and he was unelected. He was just a well actual 1026 01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:57.159 he was more than an advisor. But yeah, is that 1027 01:04:57.239 --> 01:04:58.039 a fair comparison? 1028 01:04:58.920 --> 01:04:59.280 Why not? 1029 01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:00.599 Yeah? 1030 01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:02.360 Who made him Pope of science? 1031 01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:02.599 Right? 1032 01:05:03.679 --> 01:05:06.800 Yeah, I know, I mean he shut down businesses and 1033 01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:08.639 oh my god, you know. 1034 01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:11.519 I'm you know, John, excellent point.

You have to stand six 1037 01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:20.079 feet away from each other and wear a mask that 1038 01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:23.119 doesn't work. And he knew it at the time, pulled 1039 01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:27.239 that idea straight from his finer. We all capitulated, fell 1040 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:30.199 in line. The economy shut down, people lost jobs, people 1041 01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:34.480 were forced to get vaccines because of him, unelected official. 1042 01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:36.800 God bless you, John, Thank you so much for making 1043 01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:38.280 the point. You can go back to work now. It's 1044 01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:41.679 what you should do. Let's see is that. Lois Lewis, 1045 01:05:41.719 --> 01:05:44.920 Welcome to the show. Thanks for calling this morning, Brian. 1046 01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:45.519 How are you today? 1047 01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:47.440 I'm doing fine, man, I appreciate it. 1048 01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:52.280 Excellent. I just wanted to get your take. You're a libertarian, correct. 1049 01:05:52.079 --> 01:05:55.000 Yeah, little well, I don't abide by the you know, 1050 01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:58.199 the the policy principles that are written down by the 1051 01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:01.000 capital L Libertarian policy differ it. But I'm you know, 1052 01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:03.480 I'm my own man, so I'm entitled to call myself 1053 01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:05.480 what I want. But that's why I always say little 1054 01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:08.079 el libertarian absolutely. 1055 01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:10.920 I was just wanting your take on the meeting between 1056 01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:13.639 Trump and NAHU the other day and what your perspective 1057 01:06:14.119 --> 01:06:18.039 is on the United States taking ownership of Gaza and 1058 01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:21.039 how you feel and how you feel that does or 1059 01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:24.320 does not conflict with his presidential campaign promises. 1060 01:06:25.159 --> 01:06:28.079 You know, I can't say anything as that specific policy 1061 01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:30.920 relates to the campaign pledges or promises because I don't 1062 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:34.360 remember him talking necessarily about Gaza, other than, of course, 1063 01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:36.760 trying to resolve the dispute, like he said he would 1064 01:06:36.760 --> 01:06:39.480 resolve the dispute between Russian and Ukraine, gonna end the war. 1065 01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:42.400 Hasn't happened yet. We'll wait and see what happens. But 1066 01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:45.360 I think, you know, Trump's out loud statement that we 1067 01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:50.119 are going to take over Gaza, like an ownership interest 1068 01:06:50.280 --> 01:06:52.400 in Gaza. I think he does that just to stir 1069 01:06:52.559 --> 01:06:55.280 the pot and to get people talking about it. Gaza 1070 01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:57.840 is a wasteland. I don't know if you've seen pictures 1071 01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:02.519 of it. It's just been bombed into hell. There's really 1072 01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:04.920 no place to live there anymore. I don't believe in 1073 01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:08.199 the idea that he can displace Palestinians that live there, 1074 01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:10.880 that want to stay there. What right does he have 1075 01:07:11.039 --> 01:07:13.440 to tell people where they can live into what country 1076 01:07:13.480 --> 01:07:16.280 they're going to be sent. So I find offense with 1077 01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:17.119 that concept. 1078 01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:22.039 Yeah, the last question, I can't find clarity on whether 1079 01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:26.599 it was supposed to be a temporary or permanent replacement. 1080 01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:29.719 I keep getting mixed messages, and that will be my 1081 01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:32.559 final question. If you could out with some parity there. 1082 01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:36.639 Well, actually, I believe that he makes these outrageous, seemingly 1083 01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:39.599 outrageous statements because he wants to generate interest in the 1084 01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:44.039 concept of rebuilding that war torn country. And you know, 1085 01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:46.559 I'm certain that there are Middle Eastern countries in the 1086 01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:49.440 general area that think about that and now go, you 1087 01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:52.320 know what, We actually could make Gusa a decent place 1088 01:07:52.360 --> 01:07:54.559 to live. We could make it a safe, comfortable place. 1089 01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:57.519 If you build it, they will come. Obviously, it's got 1090 01:07:57.559 --> 01:08:02.239 some pretty nice beachfront properties. If you look at it 1091 01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:05.519 that way, it could be a habitable place. And if 1092 01:08:05.559 --> 01:08:09.639 you make it more welcoming and the terrorists aren't running 1093 01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:13.239 the territory. It would be a welcome environment for a 1094 01:08:13.320 --> 01:08:16.760 lot of investment. I mean, it's the right thing to do, 1095 01:08:17.760 --> 01:08:20.359 so conceptually, I have no problem with it, But the 1096 01:08:20.399 --> 01:08:22.720 idea that we're gonna own it is nonsensical. And the 1097 01:08:22.760 --> 01:08:24.600 idea that you can force people to go to some 1098 01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:27.000 country that doesn't want them in the first place, I 1099 01:08:27.079 --> 01:08:30.760 think is nonsensical. But it's a conversation starter, and I 1100 01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:34.239 think that's why he says things out loud, like let's 1101 01:08:34.279 --> 01:08:37.000 Canada is gonna be the fifty first state. We're gonna 1102 01:08:37.039 --> 01:08:39.960 buy Greenland. He didn't ask the folks that live in 1103 01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:42.399 Greenland or Denmark about that concept, but he said it 1104 01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:44.119 out loud, and now people are going, you know what, 1105 01:08:44.520 --> 01:08:46.479 there's a lot of opportunity in Greenland. You know what, 1106 01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:51.520 maybe we should welcome a relationship with the United States. 1107 01:08:51.640 --> 01:08:54.199 That's not a bad thing. Maybe the United States will 1108 01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:57.039 start investing in Greenland, which has a population of like 1109 01:08:57.159 --> 01:09:01.000 fifty thousand people. So conversation starters, and I think he 1110 01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:03.720 goes broad brush in order to get people to start 1111 01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:06.600 talking about it. It might take anyway. Got multiple collars 1112 01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:08.680 online and thank each and every one of you for calling. 1113 01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:10.760 I got to take quick break here six thirty seven. 1114 01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:13.079 But you've got curious to detalk station to mention QC 1115 01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:14.960 kinetics because if you're one of those folks out there 1116 01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:18.039 dealing with arthritic pain, knee pain, hit pain, joint pain, 1117 01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:20.119 you know it's gotten worse over the years and now 1118 01:09:20.159 --> 01:09:22.359 it's difficult climbing stairs, getting in out of the car. 1119 01:09:22.680 --> 01:09:26.760 Everyday activities come with pain.

These are biologic treatments.

Time for traffic from the 1146 01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:52.720 UCL Traumfis Center. Heart disease is the leading cause of 1147 01:10:52.840 --> 01:10:55.439 death in the US.

You see help for innovative and personalized hard care, 1149 01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:02.399 expect more, and you see how dot com major problems. 1150 01:11:02.439 --> 01:11:05.800 Downtown westbound Fort Washington Way is closed due to an 1151 01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:10.600 overturned semi southbound seventy one and inbound Columbia Parkway. Traffic 1152 01:11:10.720 --> 01:11:14.039 being diverted off of the highway at Third Street. There's 1153 01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:17.279 a wreck on five past four at Port Union Chuck 1154 01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:24.039 Ingramham fifty five KROC the talk station, six. 1155 01:11:24.720 --> 01:11:26.680 K City talk Station. Back to the phones, we go. 1156 01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:32.720 I acted desperation. I appreciate the calls, I really do. Mike, 1157 01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:38.399 thanks for holding. Welcome to the program, Mike, I had died. 1158 01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:44.680 Yeah, that's all about. Had a comin about Eli Muskin dooge. Yeah, 1159 01:11:46.279 --> 01:11:49.119 well that is hilarious. Other you know, he was, they're 1160 01:11:49.159 --> 01:11:53.560 grabbing it. He's an elected official and he's taking money 1161 01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:55.520 away from unelected bureaucrats. 1162 01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:59.359 I'm like, that was hilariously. 1163 01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:02.960 These people are elected too, and they're wasting money. 1164 01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:06.800 So exactly well, and we're getting rid of a lot 1165 01:12:06.880 --> 01:12:08.960 of them too. So far forty thousand. They are expecting 1166 01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:13.840 a lot more to take the buyout offer. Today all 1167 01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:16.520 the DEI employees have already left and they are not 1168 01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:20.000 around anymore. That obviously is resulting in a massive savings 1169 01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:24.760 for the American taxpayer. All unelected officials pushing policies down 1170 01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:29.079 our throats that do nothing to benefit the American economy. Period. 1171 01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:32.039 It's going back to that whole idea merit is what 1172 01:12:32.199 --> 01:12:35.079 we need. We need the best and brightest people, regardless 1173 01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:39.680 of race, ethnicity, your sexual preference. I don't care who 1174 01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:41.880 you're sleeping with. If you're the best and brightest for 1175 01:12:41.960 --> 01:12:45.960 the job, take it hired, Get hired. I don't think 1176 01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:50.319 anybody cares, But don't hire somebody just because of who 1177 01:12:50.399 --> 01:12:52.439 they sleep with if they're not the best and brightest 1178 01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:55.119 for the job. It makes perfect sense. And you know 1179 01:12:55.199 --> 01:12:57.720 what I would argue Elon Musk, can you find somebody 1180 01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:01.960 that's better? Probably be hard pressed. I mean, if your 1181 01:13:02.039 --> 01:13:07.399 goal is to run an efficient organization, he knows all 1182 01:13:07.479 --> 01:13:11.039 about organizational efficiency. Look at what the man has been 1183 01:13:11.079 --> 01:13:15.479 able to accomplish. He buys Twitter and fires the vast 1184 01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:17.920 majority of people who used to work there, and yet 1185 01:13:18.359 --> 01:13:21.880 X renamed is still as efficient and operable as it 1186 01:13:22.039 --> 01:13:24.840 was before they had all these thousands of workers employed 1187 01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:32.720 there for apparently no reason whatsoever, demonstrably efficient. So there 1188 01:13:32.800 --> 01:13:35.039 you have it, Linda, Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks 1189 01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:38.039 for calling this morning. Happy Thursday, Oh send to you. 1190 01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:40.439 Enjoy your program. 1191 01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:43.000 We've been we've moved up here in two thousand and seven, 1192 01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:47.239 and we've listened to you just about every morning. It's 1193 01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:54.279 good to listen to somebody conservative or independent anyway. I 1194 01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:57.680 wanted to say two things. One was, did anyone notice 1195 01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:03.000 nitt and Yahu's sitting there beside Trump. He was holding 1196 01:14:03.199 --> 01:14:09.119 back laughing when Trump was talking about Gaza. You could 1197 01:14:09.159 --> 01:14:12.199 see almost a smirk on his face, and I started 1198 01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:14.359 to laugh. He knew what Trump was doing. 1199 01:14:14.760 --> 01:14:14.960 Yeah. 1200 01:14:15.920 --> 01:14:19.399 And number two, I wanted to say, thank God for Trump. 1201 01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:23.159 How many presidents I'm eighty one years old, you know 1202 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:25.840 how many presidents I've heard they were going to change 1203 01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:30.199 things in Washington, and they all of them have kicked 1204 01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:33.319 down the kicked the can down the road, kicked the can. 1205 01:14:34.159 --> 01:14:37.159 And this guy is doing what America really wants him 1206 01:14:37.199 --> 01:14:40.039 to do, which is save the United States and choice 1207 01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:45.359 and freedom for future generations. This needed to be done. 1208 01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:49.039 And these idiots that are protesting the fact that you're 1209 01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:53.119 not going to have a trends opera anymore, I'm just 1210 01:14:53.159 --> 01:14:54.960 sitting there and disbelieve. 1211 01:14:56.760 --> 01:14:59.439 They've been stuck in their echo chamber for so long 1212 01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:03.840 they say think what they're saying actually makes sense. Regular 1213 01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:06.840 Americans don't want to pay for a gay opera in 1214 01:15:07.000 --> 01:15:09.800 Ireland or wherever, and all the other things that that 1215 01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:12.800 USAID program was funding you know, and going back to 1216 01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:16.760 the whole idea, you're funding research on shrimp with on treadmills, 1217 01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:19.319 and you hear something like that and you think you're 1218 01:15:19.359 --> 01:15:22.600 reading a Babylon B article like this can't be real. 1219 01:15:22.800 --> 01:15:23.720 Oh no it is. 1220 01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:27.680 And then there's that whole pesky gain of function research 1221 01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:31.239 we're doing to create pandemics that will kill millions and 1222 01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:34.399 millions of people. Thank you for working so hard American 1223 01:15:34.479 --> 01:15:39.239 tax payers and for funding that well mangala like research. 1224 01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:42.279 Appreciate the kind words, Linda, I really do, and I'm 1225 01:15:42.319 --> 01:15:44.479 glad you tuned in.

Got a few callers online, 1290 01:18:33.039 --> 01:18:35.600 beginning in the order in which they received New Hampshire Gary, 1291 01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:38.800 good to hear from you today, Cally. 1292 01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:41.840 Going, Brian, I'm just passing on the love. You know, Hey, 1293 01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:43.199 did I win the state work? 1294 01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:51.479 Your callers just said your caller six you missed it 1295 01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:52.079 by one. 1296 01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:58.039 Oh my goodness. Hey, I just love to say, you're 1297 01:18:58.119 --> 01:19:01.439 not alone wolf alone voice out in the wilderness, and 1298 01:19:01.760 --> 01:19:05.159 we really appreciate you. You're not just shuting into him. 1299 01:19:05.479 --> 01:19:09.399 There or tens of thousands of people that are listening 1300 01:19:09.439 --> 01:19:10.840 to you every minute the other day. 1301 01:19:11.039 --> 01:19:13.279 I appreciate that, I really do, and you know, I 1302 01:19:13.359 --> 01:19:16.039 do get ratings books, and I kind of realize that. 1303 01:19:16.319 --> 01:19:18.880 But some days I just it's like I want to 1304 01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:21.960 know what other people are thinking about, what other people 1305 01:19:22.119 --> 01:19:27.000 are curious about. I mean, I'm essentially like an editor, 1306 01:19:27.319 --> 01:19:30.560 like for a newspaper. You know, there's millions of articles 1307 01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:32.600 that can be reported, but there's a finite amount of 1308 01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:34.720 space and in my case, a finite amount of time. 1309 01:19:34.720 --> 01:19:36.800 It's why I've always commented at the end of the week, 1310 01:19:36.880 --> 01:19:39.279 I got a ream of papers worth of stories that 1311 01:19:39.359 --> 01:19:42.319 I never got around to. And sometimes people want to 1312 01:19:42.359 --> 01:19:45.079 talk about a particular topic and I'm not on that topic. 1313 01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:48.600 So that's why I enjoy hearing from listeners to kind 1314 01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:52.840 of steer the direction of the conversation, engage in thoughtful communications. 1315 01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:56.319 Like the last color who observed that Benjaminett and Yahoo, 1316 01:19:56.640 --> 01:19:59.279 he got it. He was almost cracking up when Trump 1317 01:19:59.359 --> 01:20:04.439 talked about taking over and running Gaza. I mean, nobody serious. 1318 01:20:04.560 --> 01:20:07.520 People don't believe that we are actually going to make 1319 01:20:07.680 --> 01:20:11.880 Gaza fifty first state or something. But initiating the conversation 1320 01:20:12.119 --> 01:20:14.119 is what he's doing trying to get other people interested 1321 01:20:14.119 --> 01:20:17.720 in the whole idea of turning a wasteland into something 1322 01:20:17.800 --> 01:20:21.520 that's productive and valuable and useful so that human beings 1323 01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:24.800 can inhabit it safely without fear of getting run over 1324 01:20:24.920 --> 01:20:28.279 by terrorists. That's how you get a conversation started. Maybe 1325 01:20:28.359 --> 01:20:30.039 you know it's a little in artful, and people will 1326 01:20:30.039 --> 01:20:31.880 be able to comment and criticize him for it, But 1327 01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:35.079 you're dealing with Donald Trump here, folks. You got to 1328 01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:36.560 take what he says with a bit of a grain 1329 01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:38.840 of salt and sort of try to appreciate where he's 1330 01:20:38.920 --> 01:20:42.439 coming from. Thanks, Gary's great hearing from you, Mississippi. James, 1331 01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:44.039 my friend, how are you today, sir? 1332 01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:46.399 Doing all right? 1333 01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:51.800 Doctor Bryant. Now, it's called one World Order, and that's 1334 01:20:51.800 --> 01:20:54.439 where we hit it, brother, So you all can down 1335 01:20:54.600 --> 01:20:57.520 play it and joke about it. That's how he got 1336 01:20:57.640 --> 01:21:01.319 into this position, Donald Trump, and he could have just 1337 01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:05.399 his way of run as a Democrat, and then all 1338 01:21:05.640 --> 01:21:07.119 the jokes and the stuff. 1339 01:21:06.880 --> 01:21:11.479 Will be on the other side. In what way, Hey, 1340 01:21:11.560 --> 01:21:14.239 Donald Trump ran on America first, and he is doing 1341 01:21:14.319 --> 01:21:17.479 whatever he can to make America, as he says, great again. 1342 01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:20.279 We want us to be independent in terms of you know, 1343 01:21:20.520 --> 01:21:24.079 our own energy supplies and our own production. And this 1344 01:21:24.279 --> 01:21:26.800 is all for the benefit of America and hopefully you 1345 01:21:26.880 --> 01:21:29.239 know that benefits the rest of the world. If we 1346 01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:34.760 set the idea this free exercise of speech and our freedoms, 1347 01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:40.079 our liberties, capitalism, productive producing businesses that hire people, we 1348 01:21:40.279 --> 01:21:42.840 serve as an example for the rest of the world. 1349 01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:44.720 But we're not taking over the rest of the world. 1350 01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:46.399 We're not dealing with imperialism here. 1351 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:49.039 Oh, it's part of it. 1352 01:21:49.159 --> 01:21:50.800 It's common in what way. 1353 01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:54.039 I mean? 1354 01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:55.920 I mean, in other words, James, how do you reach 1355 01:21:56.039 --> 01:22:01.000 the conclusion that that is that he's gravitory, gravitating towards 1356 01:22:01.079 --> 01:22:05.720 something the Democrats fully embrace, which is globalism, one world 1357 01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:09.199 government that you know, these these huge businesses and industries 1358 01:22:09.239 --> 01:22:12.319 are striving for. In other words, have something like China 1359 01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:17.800 dictatorial China and just edicts and mandates with no legislative oversight, 1360 01:22:17.960 --> 01:22:21.319 no no interjection of the populace in terms of the 1361 01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:24.960 direction of the country is going. That's the left wing 1362 01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:28.600 globalist mentality. I don't hear anything from Trump that is 1363 01:22:28.760 --> 01:22:31.159 that is globalist related. He's just looking out for our 1364 01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:31.800 best interest. 1365 01:22:32.800 --> 01:22:35.960 Well, remember this, remember this time, and when they be 1366 01:22:36.159 --> 01:22:38.840 revealed to it, you will see it all right. You 1367 01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:41.119 may not be able to put it into words to 1368 01:22:41.239 --> 01:22:44.479 tell you where you will accept it, but just remember 1369 01:22:44.560 --> 01:22:48.960 this time. What's today, July, I meanly February. 1370 01:22:49.479 --> 01:22:54.079 February. Mark it down. When James predicted that the United 1371 01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:56.880 States would take over the world, I got it marked down. James. 1372 01:22:56.960 --> 01:22:58.880 I think you're in the wrong direction. I think he's 1373 01:22:58.920 --> 01:23:02.279 merely trying to set an exact ample for the globalists 1374 01:23:02.479 --> 01:23:04.399 in the world that know that's not how to run 1375 01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:07.439 a railroad. We'll see. So let's say keep your the 1376 01:23:07.520 --> 01:23:10.119 pendulum swinging back and forth, as you always point out. James, 1377 01:23:10.119 --> 01:23:12.319 I appreciate the call. Bill, I don't have time, but 1378 01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:13.640 if you want to hold, I'll be happy to take 1379 01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:15.279 your call. After the break. I gotta run though.

I appreciated that. 1396 01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:24.960 Got to have some good conversations, some excellent observations. And 1397 01:24:25.079 --> 01:24:27.000 I promise Bill, if he held he would be first 1398 01:24:27.039 --> 01:24:28.520 out of the gate. Bill, thanks for holding over the 1399 01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:29.920 breake there. Welcome to the morning show. 1400 01:24:31.359 --> 01:24:36.560 All I gotta say is go Joe. A couple of 1401 01:24:36.720 --> 01:24:41.880 quick comments on something that so Biden releases. The community 1402 01:24:43.079 --> 01:24:47.079 sentences of these prisoners that were on death row? Is 1403 01:24:47.319 --> 01:24:48.479 that community? 1404 01:24:48.720 --> 01:24:49.359 Is that true? 1405 01:24:49.680 --> 01:24:50.760 Is that the term? 1406 01:24:52.159 --> 01:24:56.039 Well, there's a commutation and then there's a pardon. Now, 1407 01:24:56.079 --> 01:24:58.640 if you're on death row and you have your death 1408 01:24:58.840 --> 01:25:01.199 sentence commuted, you're gonna still spend the rest of your 1409 01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:03.680 life in prison, at least as I understand it. If 1410 01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:07.039 you're pardoned, then you are forgiven for whatever crime. You've 1411 01:25:07.039 --> 01:25:09.640 been accused of and you wouldn't be you wouldn't remain 1412 01:25:09.720 --> 01:25:13.000 in jail. So there are differences between the two. But 1413 01:25:13.119 --> 01:25:15.359 I saw that go ahead. 1414 01:25:16.239 --> 01:25:19.520 We're now off death row where they were isolated, and 1415 01:25:19.600 --> 01:25:22.840 now they're into the general population of the prison. 1416 01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:23.479 Is that true? 1417 01:25:23.920 --> 01:25:26.279 That would be my I guess my understanding. I'm not 1418 01:25:26.359 --> 01:25:28.960 sure how any prison is run. I've never run a prison, 1419 01:25:29.079 --> 01:25:31.159 but I don't know if you remain in some sort 1420 01:25:31.199 --> 01:25:35.000 of you know, isolated or you know, high security custody, 1421 01:25:35.199 --> 01:25:38.319 anything like that. No concept, but it just means you're 1422 01:25:38.359 --> 01:25:41.600 not going to be walking into the to the electric chair, 1423 01:25:41.720 --> 01:25:46.079 gas chamber, or however they kill you these days. But 1424 01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:46.840 I did see that. 1425 01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:52.039 The general population. I don't think that's gonna work really 1426 01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:53.920 well for them based on. 1427 01:25:54.359 --> 01:25:55.239 Some of their history. 1428 01:25:56.159 --> 01:25:58.600 Well, you never know, as it's always pointed out, and 1429 01:25:58.640 --> 01:26:01.039 I've talked to members of Lawn for on this program 1430 01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:03.880 many many many times over the years, and if you 1431 01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:06.399 are a child molester or a child rapist and you're 1432 01:26:06.439 --> 01:26:10.680 in prison, you are in for a world of hurt. 1433 01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:13.239 And you know what I'm talking about when I say that, 1434 01:26:13.399 --> 01:26:16.119 because a lot of the prisoners in prisons have children, 1435 01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:18.560 of their own, and they don't look too kindly on 1436 01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:22.319 child rapists, so they're in the general population, they have 1437 01:26:22.439 --> 01:26:24.159 to deal with the challenges. I don't know that being 1438 01:26:24.239 --> 01:26:27.960 a murderer subjects you to more attacks or or harm 1439 01:26:28.239 --> 01:26:32.720 or represents a bigger challenge for other prisoners than anybody else, 1440 01:26:32.760 --> 01:26:35.600 because most everybody that's in a federal prison is probably 1441 01:26:35.760 --> 01:26:39.159 guilty of some horrific crime or another. So you know, 1442 01:26:39.279 --> 01:26:41.079 whatever commit a crime, you're gonna have to deal with 1443 01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:42.199 the time, and you're gonna have to deal with the 1444 01:26:42.239 --> 01:26:45.079 consequences of being locked up in a prison, which I 1445 01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:47.920 imagine is hell on earth, which is another reason why 1446 01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:50.279 I'm not in favor of the death penalty. Some people 1447 01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:53.479 are wrongfully convicted, and sometimes they're ultimately let out after 1448 01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:56.000 DNA evidence comes out. People admit that they lied on 1449 01:26:56.079 --> 01:27:00.319 the bench, they admit that prosecutors engaged in suppressing evidence 1450 01:27:00.399 --> 01:27:03.680 or otherwise not handing over exculpatory evidence to the defense council, 1451 01:27:03.880 --> 01:27:05.840 and they end up getting out. That's why I don't 1452 01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:08.039 believe in the death penalty, even for the worst offenders. 1453 01:27:08.079 --> 01:27:10.760 You know why, because it would be hell on earth 1454 01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:16.000 being locked up into prison for your entire life also 1455 01:27:16.079 --> 01:27:17.560 gives you an opportunity to get out if you've been 1456 01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:21.520 wrong fully convicted, but there are also opportunities, and I 1457 01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:25.920 was looking for the article as you mentioned that US 1458 01:27:25.960 --> 01:27:31.199 Attorney General Pam Bondi seeking to reverse last hour commutations 1459 01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:33.119 for the death row murderers, and again that would mean 1460 01:27:33.159 --> 01:27:36.520 a commutation of the death penalty, but not freedom into 1461 01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:40.560 the general population of the you know, not being released 1462 01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:44.359 from prison. But pointed out that maybe state officials could 1463 01:27:44.399 --> 01:27:48.399 pursue death penalty against the inmates under state law because 1464 01:27:48.479 --> 01:27:54.680 a presidential commutation slash pardon only frees you up or 1465 01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:59.239 releases you from federal crimes, and quite often federal crimes 1466 01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:01.840 mirror the laws in states. Is like, you can be 1467 01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.000 tried under federal law, you can be tried under state law, 1468 01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:06.359 or maybe be tried under both. So just because you 1469 01:28:06.439 --> 01:28:09.439 got off from a commutation of your death sentence by 1470 01:28:09.479 --> 01:28:12.359 President Joe Biden doesn't mean that maybe the state couldn't 1471 01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:16.119 also bring independent charges and pursue the death penalty under 1472 01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:20.920 state law. Complicated slightly, but that's kind of the reality is. 1473 01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:22.760 We're staring at it right now. Appreciate the call, my 1474 01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:25.319 friend five one, three, seven four nine fifty eight hundred 1475 01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:27.479 eight two three talk pound fixt fifty on AT and 1476 01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:29.560 T phone. As I mentioned, coming up at bottom of 1477 01:28:29.560 --> 01:28:32.520 the hour, Donovan O'Neil, what is the Tax Cuts and 1478 01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:35.600 Jobs Act? Donald to be talking about that? Mark Meckler 1479 01:28:35.640 --> 01:28:37.760 coming up at eight oh five on a Convention of 1480 01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:40.560 States and he's the Convention of States President, and do 1481 01:28:40.880 --> 01:28:41.359 we need one? 1482 01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:41.840 What is it? 1483 01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:45.199 What would accomplish? Are there dangers associated with with putting 1484 01:28:45.239 --> 01:28:48.119 together Convention of States? Mark on that topic, and of 1485 01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:51.000 course it being Thursday, Thank god, I hurt Media aviation 1486 01:28:51.119 --> 01:28:55.720 expert Jay Ratliffe at eight thirty. Now, something I bring 1487 01:28:55.800 --> 01:28:58.840 up all the time. I got a real problem because 1488 01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:02.880 you know, I believe in the Constitution, and I don't 1489 01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:05.720 believe in an imperial president. And I'm even call I 1490 01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:08.319 call into question even some of Donald Trump's actions, many 1491 01:29:08.319 --> 01:29:11.000 of which would be challenged in court. Going back to 1492 01:29:11.039 --> 01:29:14.359 the whole idea of taking over Gaza maybe for the 1493 01:29:14.399 --> 01:29:17.239 purposes of rebuilding it, because we rebuild nations that we 1494 01:29:17.439 --> 01:29:21.439 bomb into submission, like Germany Japan, for example, in the 1495 01:29:21.520 --> 01:29:25.319 aftermath of World War Two. We put our money and 1496 01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:28.199 our time and resources to making those places a better 1497 01:29:28.279 --> 01:29:33.720 place to live and welcoming them into a mutually a 1498 01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:37.720 beneficial relationship. Now that is possible in Gaza. But the 1499 01:29:37.800 --> 01:29:40.800 whole idea that Donald Trump can somehow pick up the 1500 01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:45.800 Palestinian people and push them into Egypt or someplace else, 1501 01:29:46.039 --> 01:29:50.079 I find rather offensive. Substitute the word Palestinian for Jews, 1502 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:53.479 and doesn't it sound remarkably Nazi esque. We're gonna round 1503 01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:56.520 up all the Jews and send them to Egypt. We're 1504 01:29:56.520 --> 01:29:58.439 gonna round up all the Palestinians and send them to 1505 01:29:58.479 --> 01:30:00.960 Egypt so we can rebuild Gaza. No, I just don't 1506 01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:02.600 like the way that sounds, and I don't think it's 1507 01:30:02.680 --> 01:30:05.359 legally possible. And kind of agree with the top of 1508 01:30:05.359 --> 01:30:07.279 the air news there with the European Union saying that, 1509 01:30:07.399 --> 01:30:09.760 you know, international law may have something to say about that, 1510 01:30:10.640 --> 01:30:13.680 you know, but talk amongst yourselves. But Donald Trump the 1511 01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:18.239 other day said, in so far as Iran is concerned 1512 01:30:19.439 --> 01:30:23.079 because they have threatened his life over the killing of 1513 01:30:23.319 --> 01:30:28.039 Cassam Solomani, Trump ordered a rocket strike and killed that guy. 1514 01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:31.119 It was a nasty figure. He led the Iranian a 1515 01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:35.640 Revolutionary Guard Court cud's force, responsible for the death of 1516 01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:42.079 many many people. So bad guy got killed, but we 1517 01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:44.119 don't have a declaration of war going on. You know, 1518 01:30:44.399 --> 01:30:46.840 we bomb people in random countries all the time. So 1519 01:30:46.960 --> 01:30:49.439 I always mentioned, and I've jokingly said, well, what if 1520 01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:51.880 Canada decides there's some bad guy here in the United 1521 01:30:51.920 --> 01:30:55.000 States and they rockets strike the guy. That's an attack 1522 01:30:55.079 --> 01:30:57.800 on American soil. That could be viewed as an act 1523 01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:01.560 of war. Right, So Trump's I've left instructions if they 1524 01:31:01.640 --> 01:31:05.279 do it. In other words, if they killed me, they 1525 01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:08.680 would get obliterated. There won't be anything left referring to 1526 01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:15.119 the country of Iran. Okay, So here we have a 1527 01:31:15.199 --> 01:31:19.800 real life illustration of that flip side. We know the 1528 01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:22.720 Iranians hate Trump. We know they are angry over the 1529 01:31:22.840 --> 01:31:30.800 killing of that Revolutionary Guard corp Cuts Force leader. What 1530 01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:34.159 would your perception be if Iran launched a rocket strike 1531 01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:38.039 at the White House and blew up Donald Trump. Wouldn't 1532 01:31:38.039 --> 01:31:40.119 your response be that is an act of war? And 1533 01:31:40.279 --> 01:31:43.600 don't you think Congress might get together and declare war 1534 01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:50.520 against Iran? I think that will be an appropriate response, 1535 01:31:50.600 --> 01:31:53.960 But there would have to be a congressional decision along 1536 01:31:54.079 --> 01:31:58.960 those lines. They would have to decide whether American military 1537 01:31:59.039 --> 01:32:02.359 resources would be put to the chore and the task 1538 01:32:02.680 --> 01:32:04.840 of wiping iron off the face of the earth, as 1539 01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:07.520 Donald Trump claims he left instructions to do if they 1540 01:32:07.680 --> 01:32:12.039 kill him. But the world's obviously a smaller place in 1541 01:32:12.119 --> 01:32:15.680 this technology. Look, Iron's like two seconds away from building 1542 01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:19.399 a nuclear bomb. So's North Korea and they already have 1543 01:32:19.520 --> 01:32:23.079 one probably. But look there you go. Everybody and his 1544 01:32:23.319 --> 01:32:28.079 brother now has drones, including drug cartels. In Mexico, We're 1545 01:32:28.119 --> 01:32:30.600 about two seconds away from you having a drone parked 1546 01:32:30.640 --> 01:32:33.279 in your driveway that'll fly you to wherever you work. 1547 01:32:34.760 --> 01:32:38.520 This technology is pervasive, It's everywhere, and it offers an opportunity. 1548 01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:41.000 It creates an opportunity for evil people to do evil 1549 01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:45.920 things using the technology. So I am no fan of war. 1550 01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:49.720 This whole military industrial complex has always gotten me down, 1551 01:32:50.680 --> 01:32:53.600 and I think we engage in too much warlike activity 1552 01:32:53.640 --> 01:32:55.439 around the world. How much good did it get us 1553 01:32:55.479 --> 01:32:58.720 invading Afghanistan after the Russians were there for thirteen years. 1554 01:32:59.000 --> 01:33:01.399 It did them no good except cost them thousands and 1555 01:33:01.479 --> 01:33:05.159 thousands of lives. We spend a longer period of time 1556 01:33:05.199 --> 01:33:09.720 there absolutely accomplishing nothing whatsoever. From the time that we 1557 01:33:09.800 --> 01:33:12.880 spent there to pull the plug on it almost immediately 1558 01:33:12.960 --> 01:33:15.039 and have more of our people killed as we're leaving, 1559 01:33:15.399 --> 01:33:19.800 and leaving billions of dollars in military equipment for the 1560 01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:22.520 designated enemies that we were there to try to eradicate 1561 01:33:22.600 --> 01:33:25.439 to use to their advantage. Doesn't make any sense, does 1562 01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:30.279 it anyway? I guess it just depends on whose ox 1563 01:33:30.399 --> 01:33:33.319 is being gored. But when you are the strongest military 1564 01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:35.800 power in the entire world, and you've got stuff in 1565 01:33:35.920 --> 01:33:39.439 things that the American military has that no other country has, 1566 01:33:39.600 --> 01:33:41.920 you can make threats and you can carry out random 1567 01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:47.479 killings on lands that we have no war with because oh, 1568 01:33:47.640 --> 01:33:52.560 there's the bad guy. But that world was rapidly changing. 1569 01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:58.079 This unique American military power ability and we still are 1570 01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:01.880 the biggest and the best on the planet doesn't just 1571 01:34:02.039 --> 01:34:05.680 exist in the hands of us anymore. You've got to 1572 01:34:05.680 --> 01:34:07.600 project that out into the world and think about that 1573 01:34:07.840 --> 01:34:11.920 as we move forward and make decisions. But like I said, 1574 01:34:12.439 --> 01:34:14.840 if ron launched a missile strike at the White House 1575 01:34:14.920 --> 01:34:16.880 and killed Donald Trump, I think we all would agree 1576 01:34:16.920 --> 01:34:18.920 there will be an active war, and we probably would 1577 01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:21.760 have a declaration of war, which would be the only 1578 01:34:21.880 --> 01:34:27.319 right appropriate mechanism for us to well obliterate them. As 1579 01:34:27.399 --> 01:34:30.800 Trump said, your thoughts quite welcome here five on three 1580 01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:34.520 seven four nine fifty two three talk Odo Exit.

What's in it? Convention? 1628 01:36:54.159 --> 01:36:56.399 To State President Mark McLay eight to five. Do we 1629 01:36:56.479 --> 01:36:59.880 need one? It's a good question. I think you feel 1630 01:36:59.920 --> 01:37:02.279 like half of my listening audiences it'd be a good idea, 1631 01:37:02.319 --> 01:37:03.840 and havel say it'd be a terrible idea. And I 1632 01:37:03.840 --> 01:37:05.520 can hear people chiming in all the time on that, 1633 01:37:05.640 --> 01:37:07.159 so we'll hear what Mark has to say at eight 1634 01:37:07.199 --> 01:37:09.239 oh five, and of course fast forward a little more 1635 01:37:09.279 --> 01:37:13.119 than an hour to Jay ratliffire aviation expert. Always a 1636 01:37:13.199 --> 01:37:16.760 typically lighthearted conversation. Sadly last week it wasn't. Given the 1637 01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:20.119 air traffic disasters we were facing five one, three, seven, four, 1638 01:37:20.159 --> 01:37:21.960 nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three 1639 01:37:22.039 --> 01:37:24.199 Taco with pound five fifty on AT and T phones. 1640 01:37:24.800 --> 01:37:26.800 We were talking earlier. Someone brought up the idea that 1641 01:37:26.880 --> 01:37:32.039 Democrats are actually just just beside themselves over Elon Musk 1642 01:37:33.199 --> 01:37:35.319 and his efforts to pair back the size and scope 1643 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.000 of government and find money and save money because we 1644 01:37:38.119 --> 01:37:42.199 spend too much. I can't imagine a human being alive 1645 01:37:42.239 --> 01:37:44.239 that thinks the government doesn't spend too much given our 1646 01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:48.640 national debt, and that that national debt really does jeopardize 1647 01:37:48.840 --> 01:37:52.640 every program that exists. If you're hooked up to the 1648 01:37:52.640 --> 01:37:55.319 bubilical court of government, maybe you're thinking about your Social 1649 01:37:55.399 --> 01:38:00.319 Security payment, maybe you're on Medicaid, Medicare, Medicaid a curity, 1650 01:38:00.359 --> 01:38:02.600 the social welfare programs that no one will touch because 1651 01:38:02.600 --> 01:38:04.800 of the third whale of politics. All of those programs 1652 01:38:04.840 --> 01:38:07.800 are in jeopardy because the government spends too much damn money. 1653 01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:12.119 And going back to this Usaid program where forty million 1654 01:38:12.239 --> 01:38:18.319 dollars goes to stupid things around the world. Elon Musk 1655 01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:19.920 identifying a whole bunch of them the other day in 1656 01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:21.800 the morning show is identifying a whole bunch of them, 1657 01:38:21.880 --> 01:38:24.399 like they think the gay Opera or whatever. Pick and 1658 01:38:24.479 --> 01:38:27.119 choose whichever one you want that you find offensive or stupid. 1659 01:38:27.199 --> 01:38:32.000 You paid for it, so cut it. The world won't 1660 01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:39.039 miss a program like that. However, I don't think they 1661 01:38:39.119 --> 01:38:43.800 hear what they're saying. Democratic lawmakers going after Elon Musk's 1662 01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:50.119 effort with this dodge program. Here's one representative, Diana Presley, 1663 01:38:50.199 --> 01:38:54.319 Democrat from Massachusetts. Elon Musk is a Nazi NEPO baby, 1664 01:38:54.439 --> 01:38:59.640 a godless, lawless billionaire who no one elected. And there's 1665 01:38:59.680 --> 01:39:01.640 that no an elected point that people keep making it. 1666 01:39:01.680 --> 01:39:03.359 Who's Elon Musk? And how the hell do you end 1667 01:39:03.399 --> 01:39:07.000 up that position? He's an advisor and thanks to the 1668 01:39:07.079 --> 01:39:10.720 color pointed out doctor Fauci, that was doctor Fauci elected. 1669 01:39:12.399 --> 01:39:15.319 The guy who told you you couldn't visit your grandparents 1670 01:39:15.439 --> 01:39:17.880 in the nursing home, the guy that told you to 1671 01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:20.279 wear the mask that didn't do anything. I remember, you know, 1672 01:39:20.680 --> 01:39:23.800 these visions of people walking around Kroger, you know, with 1673 01:39:24.119 --> 01:39:28.319 with pantyhose wrapped around their face. And then we find 1674 01:39:28.359 --> 01:39:30.960 out even the best mask out there doesn't stop you 1675 01:39:31.119 --> 01:39:36.039 from exhaling coronavirus around It just seeps right through. My 1676 01:39:36.199 --> 01:39:38.920 parallel has always been picking up a handful of sand 1677 01:39:38.960 --> 01:39:41.199 and throwing it in a chain link fence. Well, the 1678 01:39:41.239 --> 01:39:44.640 fence stops some of the sand from going through. Yeah, some, 1679 01:39:46.560 --> 01:39:53.720 but the rest of it's going to go right through. Also, 1680 01:39:54.680 --> 01:39:57.840 Iyana pressed, y elon, this is the American people. This 1681 01:39:58.039 --> 01:40:00.640 is not your trashy cyber t truck that you can 1682 01:40:00.840 --> 01:40:05.279 just dismantle, pick apart and sell the pieces of. Well, 1683 01:40:05.319 --> 01:40:07.159 you can also argue the flip side, which is, wait, 1684 01:40:07.199 --> 01:40:10.119 wait a second, why are you in government, elected or 1685 01:40:10.199 --> 01:40:14.760 unelected officials in charge of allocating the scarce taxpayer dollars, 1686 01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:21.640 throwing money and approving programs globally that advanceed woke agenda. 1687 01:40:22.680 --> 01:40:25.720 We didn't ask for that. I mean did anybody in 1688 01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:27.760 my listening audience ask for that? I mean, did you 1689 01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:29.840 really think about when you were voting for someone that 1690 01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:34.039 I'm really hoping we fund a gay lesbian opera in 1691 01:40:34.239 --> 01:40:39.760 Ireland or something ore? Again, the creation of a virus 1692 01:40:39.880 --> 01:40:42.319 that creates a pandemic that kills millions of people? Do 1693 01:40:42.399 --> 01:40:46.439 you sign up for that? What elected officials decided that 1694 01:40:46.520 --> 01:40:47.800 that was a good idea? 1695 01:40:48.520 --> 01:40:48.760 None? 1696 01:40:49.079 --> 01:40:49.600 Not a one. 1697 01:40:50.359 --> 01:40:52.239 And in fact it was contrary to the order of 1698 01:40:52.279 --> 01:40:55.439 believe President Barack Obama, who said we don't, we should 1699 01:40:55.520 --> 01:40:58.760 not fund any of this research. What happened fout you 1700 01:40:58.800 --> 01:41:02.399 went ahead and approved it and funded it anyway. Unelected 1701 01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:08.479 official at least Musk is taking strides and efforts to 1702 01:41:08.960 --> 01:41:15.399 stop that crap from happening, and I applaud those efforts, 1703 01:41:16.319 --> 01:41:18.960 and maybe we should thank God for unelected officials at 1704 01:41:19.039 --> 01:41:22.560 least have some measure of understanding about how a well oiled, 1705 01:41:22.600 --> 01:41:27.119 efficient businesses run.

Welcome back down on the Neil. 1751 01:43:51.640 --> 01:43:54.560 It's always good to talk with you. Hey, good to 1752 01:43:54.640 --> 01:43:57.880 be here. Absolutely yeah. 1753 01:43:57.920 --> 01:43:59.840 Well usually, you know, so we roll up to these 1754 01:44:00.000 --> 01:44:02.680 congressional offices and they're like, what do we do wrong 1755 01:44:02.960 --> 01:44:08.039 asps here? But this time what we were doing, they 1756 01:44:08.119 --> 01:44:10.920 can the green and yellow scars are showing up. No, 1757 01:44:11.840 --> 01:44:14.000 in this case, part of what we did is, you know, 1758 01:44:14.359 --> 01:44:18.359 the twenty seventeen Trump tax cuts and Jobs Act. We 1759 01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:22.199 reissued some thank you cards on that, not because we're 1760 01:44:22.199 --> 01:44:25.199 a few years late in getting our appreciation out, but 1761 01:44:25.399 --> 01:44:29.239 because we wanted to remind folks these five members of 1762 01:44:29.279 --> 01:44:34.840 Congress Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Mike Turner, Dave Joyce, and 1763 01:44:35.319 --> 01:44:37.800 I've got somebody on the tip of my tongue, it's 1764 01:44:37.800 --> 01:44:40.920 flipping past me, Bob Lada had all voted for that 1765 01:44:41.000 --> 01:44:43.159 original Act. We wanted to thank them for their work 1766 01:44:43.239 --> 01:44:45.960 then and use that to begin to drive the conversation 1767 01:44:46.039 --> 01:44:48.560 about how we need to make these Trump tax cuts permanent. 1768 01:44:48.640 --> 01:44:50.680 And so it was great to go out and get 1769 01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:53.600 a lot of signatures and start to engage folks on 1770 01:44:53.680 --> 01:44:57.279 something that they've probably forgot a little bit about, because 1771 01:44:57.439 --> 01:44:59.560 you know, twenty seventeen feels like a lifetime ago. 1772 01:44:59.600 --> 01:45:01.800 For a minute, folks, it really does. And I was 1773 01:45:01.880 --> 01:45:04.640 kind of chuckling to myself about twenty seventeen and you're 1774 01:45:04.680 --> 01:45:07.840 thanking them for something they did back in twenty seventeen, 1775 01:45:07.920 --> 01:45:11.920 because obviously it's facing expiration. That's the thing that I'll 1776 01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:14.720 be quite candid and blunt in my comments. It pisces 1777 01:45:14.800 --> 01:45:18.000 me off that they don't make these cuts permanent. And 1778 01:45:18.119 --> 01:45:21.399 require a subsequent Congress to take the step to actually 1779 01:45:21.680 --> 01:45:24.880 increase our taxes, which is never a popular thing. 1780 01:45:26.840 --> 01:45:27.079 Yeah. 1781 01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:29.239 Well, you know the reason they do this is because 1782 01:45:29.680 --> 01:45:31.560 you know, there there are always a handful of folks, 1783 01:45:31.640 --> 01:45:34.720 these are always slim majorities we have who you know, 1784 01:45:34.960 --> 01:45:37.079 say hey, we gotta we gotta make sure the fiscal 1785 01:45:37.199 --> 01:45:41.359 note looks healthy. And I think that's a that's an 1786 01:45:41.359 --> 01:45:43.880 honorable thing to do, right. We want fiscal conservatives. We've 1787 01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:46.439 folks who like that, But I think you could achieve 1788 01:45:46.680 --> 01:45:49.159 a better outcome if you did what you're saying there, Brian, Right, 1789 01:45:49.439 --> 01:45:51.680 make the tax cuts permanent and force them to go 1790 01:45:51.840 --> 01:45:54.399 back and actually say we're gonna claw this money from 1791 01:45:54.399 --> 01:45:57.359 our citizens, rather than reversus saying we're gonna we're just 1792 01:45:57.359 --> 01:45:59.119 gonna let them expire so we can have a healthier 1793 01:45:59.119 --> 01:46:01.840 fiscal note. We need more restraint across the board. 1794 01:46:02.039 --> 01:46:05.640 Well, it also, I mean a permanent tax cut or 1795 01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:08.039 even a permanent tax increase, if you want to go 1796 01:46:08.159 --> 01:46:09.720 that route and you think it's the right thing to do, 1797 01:46:10.119 --> 01:46:13.960 it at least allows businesses the perception of planning. They 1798 01:46:14.000 --> 01:46:16.399 don't have to worry about the end coming and how 1799 01:46:16.439 --> 01:46:19.479 they're going to react when they know that this is 1800 01:46:19.560 --> 01:46:23.079 going to disappear at a certain calendar date. It's just 1801 01:46:23.640 --> 01:46:26.880 it throws, you know, advanced planning on its head. 1802 01:46:28.319 --> 01:46:31.279 Well, it's an absolutely key point. And one of the 1803 01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:34.399 things that we're driving right is that these these tax cuts, 1804 01:46:34.439 --> 01:46:38.640 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, impacts folks up and 1805 01:46:38.760 --> 01:46:44.520 down the income scale. It impacts not just individuals, but businesses, 1806 01:46:45.000 --> 01:46:46.119 not just big businesses. 1807 01:46:46.239 --> 01:46:48.000 It impacts small mom and pop shops. 1808 01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:51.800 Right, they can take some of their depreciation and apply 1809 01:46:51.920 --> 01:46:53.920 it to this tax, to the current TAXI rather than 1810 01:46:53.920 --> 01:46:57.159 the other. But right now, because of these tax that's 1811 01:46:57.239 --> 01:47:00.880 expiring in some of the tax planning an unknown what 1812 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:03.319 they should be doing this year to prep for next 1813 01:47:03.439 --> 01:47:08.720 year until Congress gets some stability in place and makes 1814 01:47:08.760 --> 01:47:10.560 these Trump tax cuts permanent. 1815 01:47:10.960 --> 01:47:13.560 Yeah, and I love the argument that they make all 1816 01:47:13.600 --> 01:47:16.239 the time because no one has ever identified what quote 1817 01:47:16.319 --> 01:47:18.960 unquote fair share is. They don't pay their fair they 1818 01:47:19.000 --> 01:47:20.640 need to pay their fair share, they need to pay 1819 01:47:20.680 --> 01:47:23.079 their And you question that, like, well, wait a second, 1820 01:47:23.159 --> 01:47:24.680 what is fair share? Because it seems to be a 1821 01:47:24.720 --> 01:47:29.000 moving target for anybody making those statements. But then as 1822 01:47:29.079 --> 01:47:32.079 we sit here and going back to Elon Musk and like, 1823 01:47:32.199 --> 01:47:35.359 for example, that whole USAID program at forty billion dollars, 1824 01:47:35.439 --> 01:47:39.520 showing out nonsensical money, massive quantities of money for really 1825 01:47:39.800 --> 01:47:44.960 nonsensical problem or issues or projects throughout the world. Stop 1826 01:47:45.079 --> 01:47:47.760 and puzzle. Sometimes I think the LUFT just says we 1827 01:47:47.920 --> 01:47:50.960 need to take more money merely for the sense of 1828 01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:54.680 taking it away and depriving whoever they're taking it from 1829 01:47:55.079 --> 01:47:57.600 of their freedom to spend it wherever the hell they want. 1830 01:47:57.960 --> 01:47:59.600 And when you step back and look at what they're 1831 01:47:59.640 --> 01:48:03.560 spending on, you're like, wait a second, you don't you 1832 01:48:03.600 --> 01:48:07.279 don't need to take more money. You're already wasting billions 1833 01:48:07.359 --> 01:48:10.119 and billions of dollars on stupid things that even the 1834 01:48:10.239 --> 01:48:11.479 left wingers don't want. 1835 01:48:13.119 --> 01:48:15.960 Well, I think that's part of what is being exposed 1836 01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:18.880 through some of what the DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency, 1837 01:48:18.920 --> 01:48:22.600 Elon Musk and the current Trump administration are doing. Right, 1838 01:48:22.680 --> 01:48:24.680 they're sort of exposing what you're saying there, Right, It's 1839 01:48:24.760 --> 01:48:27.239 never enough, There's no there's no fair share, there's no 1840 01:48:27.439 --> 01:48:31.399 upper limit. There's this idea, and it exists not just 1841 01:48:31.520 --> 01:48:36.520 in Congress, but in Columbus, where they know better than 1842 01:48:36.640 --> 01:48:38.920 us how to spend our money. They can better help 1843 01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:42.159 our communities than we can. And it's just a fundamental 1844 01:48:42.920 --> 01:48:46.199 conflict divisions as Thomas soul book, great book, but it's 1845 01:48:46.239 --> 01:48:49.319 the conflict divisions. They believe they know better than us, 1846 01:48:49.640 --> 01:48:52.600 the people, and it's wrong, it's wrong, and it's why 1847 01:48:52.640 --> 01:48:54.319 we got to fight for these tasks. That's what we've 1848 01:48:54.319 --> 01:48:58.359 got to fight back against, this effort to continue to 1849 01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:01.760 grow the size and scope of government and support initiatives 1850 01:49:01.840 --> 01:49:03.399 like this that are going to help keep the money 1851 01:49:03.439 --> 01:49:06.880 in our pockets. So we did support the initiatives in 1852 01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:09.720 our communities and help our neighbors out, not wait for 1853 01:49:09.760 --> 01:49:10.760 the government to show up and. 1854 01:49:10.800 --> 01:49:13.560 Do that well. And isn't it a sorry state of affairs? 1855 01:49:13.600 --> 01:49:15.760 And you know, I'll pick on the military budget, and 1856 01:49:15.880 --> 01:49:18.880 it's worthy of picking on. It's huge. It's more than 1857 01:49:19.000 --> 01:49:22.079 like the entire globe spends on American military. And you're 1858 01:49:22.079 --> 01:49:24.600 talking to someone who loves the American veteran and thanks 1859 01:49:24.680 --> 01:49:27.239 every single one of them for enlisting and defending our 1860 01:49:27.319 --> 01:49:30.640 country and doing the right thing by America. But when 1861 01:49:30.640 --> 01:49:34.000 you look at the numbers, there is so much fraud, waste, 1862 01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:38.000 and abuse in just that one segment of government that Donovan. O'Neil, 1863 01:49:38.039 --> 01:49:40.239 you know as well as I do. They can't even 1864 01:49:40.479 --> 01:49:44.119 pass an audit. They can't even get in all. They 1865 01:49:44.199 --> 01:49:49.239 tried eight times and failed every time. Hold on, Donald, 1866 01:49:49.399 --> 01:49:51.800 I'll tell you what. Just leave that sit right there 1867 01:49:51.840 --> 01:49:53.319 and we'll bring it back because we're out of time 1868 01:49:53.359 --> 01:49:55.920 in the segment. I'm not through with you yet. Thought 1869 01:49:55.960 --> 01:50:00.920 of it, O'Neil. I'll just pause for we'll bring Donovan 1870 01:50:01.000 --> 01:50:03.479 right back.

Kingbram I'm fifty five k seed 1916 01:52:19.199 --> 01:52:20.239 the talk station. 1917 01:52:23.159 --> 01:52:26.640 Seven forty two, fifty five Karrisee detalk station Brion Thomas 1918 01:52:26.680 --> 01:52:29.039 with Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity, talking about 1919 01:52:29.039 --> 01:52:31.479 the tax cuts and Jobs Acts up twenty seventeen, which 1920 01:52:31.560 --> 01:52:33.880 is set to expire, trying to keep it in place. 1921 01:52:34.000 --> 01:52:36.600 And you know, Donovan, going back to my earlier comments, 1922 01:52:36.680 --> 01:52:38.920 I really get the suspicion that I mean, this is 1923 01:52:39.119 --> 01:52:41.640 not somebody would make the argument that, well, we need 1924 01:52:41.720 --> 01:52:43.880 more taxes from people, We need to raise taxes because 1925 01:52:44.079 --> 01:52:47.159 we've got this massive debt that we have built up. 1926 01:52:47.239 --> 01:52:49.279 We need to pay that down or something. But it's 1927 01:52:49.319 --> 01:52:52.279 a laughable proposition because it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, 1928 01:52:52.319 --> 01:52:55.720 regardless of which administration assigned, that the federal government just 1929 01:52:55.880 --> 01:52:58.560 spends too much. And then as we are finding out 1930 01:52:58.640 --> 01:53:00.439 now more and more each and every day, thanks to 1931 01:53:00.520 --> 01:53:03.560 Elon Musk and Donald Trump, or Donald Trump and Elon Musk, 1932 01:53:03.960 --> 01:53:06.520 that we have a fat, bloated government that just spends 1933 01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:09.520 countless billions of dollars on stuff and things that nobody 1934 01:53:09.560 --> 01:53:12.840 in the American public wants, needs or is benefited by, 1935 01:53:13.319 --> 01:53:15.479 which leads me to conclude, and I'm interested in your 1936 01:53:15.520 --> 01:53:23.119 reaction on this, it's not really about providing needed, valuable 1937 01:53:23.279 --> 01:53:28.319 government services. It's more about just taking money just because 1938 01:53:29.199 --> 01:53:31.479 their perception is, well, you just make too much, we 1939 01:53:31.560 --> 01:53:33.399 need to take it away from you. This whole concept 1940 01:53:33.520 --> 01:53:35.720 of you know, from each according's bility, each courting is 1941 01:53:35.720 --> 01:53:39.119 a need or socialism or some form of twisted Marxism. 1942 01:53:39.760 --> 01:53:42.960 It's not about efficiency, it's not about doing good. It's 1943 01:53:43.079 --> 01:53:45.880 just about leveling the financial playing field for no other 1944 01:53:45.920 --> 01:53:47.800 reason than to level the financial playing field. 1945 01:53:49.479 --> 01:53:49.680 Yeah. 1946 01:53:49.840 --> 01:53:52.600 Well yeah, so it's using in that case, right, it's 1947 01:53:52.720 --> 01:53:57.600 using the federal government or e government's taxing cysts mechanism 1948 01:53:58.359 --> 01:54:04.199 to achieve social outcomes right in that equity. Yeah, and 1949 01:54:04.319 --> 01:54:06.399 it's uh, you know that's a problem, right, because that's 1950 01:54:06.479 --> 01:54:08.800 not that's not how how this should work. 1951 01:54:08.920 --> 01:54:09.039 Right. 1952 01:54:09.159 --> 01:54:11.079 We should be we should be given. 1953 01:54:10.880 --> 01:54:14.000 The government, letting the government take right permissively, letting the 1954 01:54:14.079 --> 01:54:17.359 government take just what it needs to provide its core 1955 01:54:17.600 --> 01:54:20.119 essential services. And when it comes to the federal government, Brian, 1956 01:54:20.840 --> 01:54:22.840 just a couple of things come to mind from me, right. 1957 01:54:22.960 --> 01:54:25.239 One is national defense. Let's make sure we can protect 1958 01:54:25.239 --> 01:54:28.680 ourselves from the enemies abroad. And border security. Let's make 1959 01:54:28.680 --> 01:54:31.000 sure that what we we have integrity as a nation, 1960 01:54:31.079 --> 01:54:32.880 and we could secure our borders and know who's coming 1961 01:54:32.920 --> 01:54:34.760 and going, and the good folks should be able to 1962 01:54:34.800 --> 01:54:37.920 get here and the bad folks should stay out. Beyond that, 1963 01:54:38.720 --> 01:54:41.439 there ain't a lot the federal government should be doing. Now, 1964 01:54:41.920 --> 01:54:43.720 you know, that's it's hard to get back to that 1965 01:54:43.840 --> 01:54:47.199 kind of purity, right and clarity, and what the federal 1966 01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:49.880 government subjectives are, but it seems like we're taking a 1967 01:54:49.960 --> 01:54:50.720 good stab at. 1968 01:54:50.640 --> 01:54:52.279 It right now with what dose is doing. 1969 01:54:52.359 --> 01:54:54.159 And if we can. 1970 01:54:55.760 --> 01:54:57.920 Keep the government off of our paychecks and make these 1971 01:54:57.960 --> 01:55:00.800 tax cuts permanent, it's another step in right direction to 1972 01:55:00.920 --> 01:55:03.920 not keep feeding the beast that just will never have 1973 01:55:04.159 --> 01:55:05.800 enough of our hard earned money. 1974 01:55:06.000 --> 01:55:10.279 All right, now, moving back to the challenge. Obviously Democrats 1975 01:55:10.319 --> 01:55:12.279 are not going to be in favor of renewing or 1976 01:55:12.399 --> 01:55:16.319 keeping in place the Trump tax cuts under the TCJA. 1977 01:55:17.439 --> 01:55:20.800 But in the face of everything that's being revealed, do 1978 01:55:20.840 --> 01:55:23.720 you think they're going to lose their argument along those 1979 01:55:23.800 --> 01:55:25.800 lines and that their own constituents are going to say, 1980 01:55:25.840 --> 01:55:28.520 wait a second, Wait a second, you guys really don't 1981 01:55:28.600 --> 01:55:30.760 need more money. And in fact, the less money you 1982 01:55:30.880 --> 01:55:35.319 take out of our paychecks, the more tax revenue will 1983 01:55:35.439 --> 01:55:39.600 flow into the Washington federal government because will be more efficient, 1984 01:55:39.680 --> 01:55:42.800 will produce more goods and services and ergo more revenue, 1985 01:55:42.880 --> 01:55:45.520 more people employed because we've got freedom to hire people 1986 01:55:45.560 --> 01:55:48.159 with the money that they didn't take. That's the reality 1987 01:55:48.239 --> 01:55:50.439 of lower taxes. No one seems to want to admit it, 1988 01:55:50.479 --> 01:55:52.439 but it's been proven over and over again. 1989 01:55:54.479 --> 01:55:58.359 Yeah, well, without a doubt, and I think nobody left, 1990 01:55:58.439 --> 01:56:00.560 right or in between the likes to see money being 1991 01:56:00.720 --> 01:56:03.560 misspent right, And I think that's part of what is 1992 01:56:03.680 --> 01:56:05.840 being talked about right now, is that this money isn't 1993 01:56:05.880 --> 01:56:08.159 going you know, it's going to a lot of things, 1994 01:56:08.600 --> 01:56:10.359 but it's not going to the things that are going 1995 01:56:10.439 --> 01:56:12.880 to actually help people where they're hurting, right with their 1996 01:56:13.439 --> 01:56:17.399 grocery bill, with their filling up their car, with paying 1997 01:56:17.399 --> 01:56:19.520 their utilities, of getting their kids through school. 1998 01:56:20.119 --> 01:56:22.800 With finding the job right. And I think you know 1999 01:56:22.920 --> 01:56:23.520 your drive on. 2000 01:56:23.600 --> 01:56:27.680 That message, and then you connect folks to the reality 2001 01:56:27.760 --> 01:56:30.119 that you know, we don't need to be feeding a 2002 01:56:30.239 --> 01:56:33.520 rape system and this is your money, not Washington's. And 2003 01:56:33.600 --> 01:56:36.720 I think we've got a winning formula to be successful 2004 01:56:36.760 --> 01:56:38.840 at this stage to get things done. Folks are coming 2005 01:56:38.840 --> 01:56:41.560 out of four years of Bidenomics. They're paying, as I 2006 01:56:41.600 --> 01:56:45.600 think some like twelve thousand more to live the same 2007 01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:48.159 standard of living they were living four years ago when 2008 01:56:48.199 --> 01:56:49.920 Trump was back and off it was in office. The 2009 01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:53.199 first time Bidenomics made people have to spend twelve thousand 2010 01:56:53.239 --> 01:56:56.079 dollars more a year just to maintain their standard of living. 2011 01:56:56.479 --> 01:56:58.600 They want relief, and when they hear that billions of 2012 01:56:58.680 --> 01:57:03.199 dollars are going overseas to wacky programs. They demand accountability. 2013 01:57:03.279 --> 01:57:06.960 And I think this is going to the conversation happening 2014 01:57:07.079 --> 01:57:10.840 now in Washington around DOGE and USAID is helpful in 2015 01:57:10.880 --> 01:57:12.840 the conversation around why we need to have the Trump 2016 01:57:12.920 --> 01:57:15.720 tax customer permanent and we need to rein in the 2017 01:57:15.840 --> 01:57:19.159 out of control monster that is the US federal government bureaucracy. 2018 01:57:19.640 --> 01:57:22.560 Yeah, no question about it. And you know, bidnomics in 2019 01:57:22.680 --> 01:57:26.520 part is literally the running of the fat currency printing press. 2020 01:57:27.000 --> 01:57:29.640 The more dollars you produce and generate just out of 2021 01:57:29.800 --> 01:57:32.680 thin air, the less your dollar in your pocket is worth. 2022 01:57:32.760 --> 01:57:36.960 I mean, that's just just generally accepted economic reality. 2023 01:57:38.520 --> 01:57:41.000 Thomas Massey had a really good clip that made the 2024 01:57:41.079 --> 01:57:42.800 rounds a week or so ago. I feel like where 2025 01:57:42.840 --> 01:57:46.479 he demonstrated that in a congressional hearing. Right, diluting water, it's. 2026 01:57:46.399 --> 01:57:48.560 What it doesn't dilutes the value of your dollar. 2027 01:57:48.640 --> 01:57:51.399 And every time the federal government prints more money or 2028 01:57:51.439 --> 01:57:54.399 comes up with a new program, that's our dollar being diluted. 2029 01:57:54.439 --> 01:57:56.880 It's less and has less buying powered, has less impact, 2030 01:57:57.159 --> 01:57:59.479 and you got to work more hours and harder to 2031 01:57:59.640 --> 01:58:01.960 keep up with the standard living you were living before 2032 01:58:01.960 --> 01:58:05.279 the federal government printed the most recent million, billion or 2033 01:58:05.319 --> 01:58:07.960 trillion dollars whatever it might be doing right now to 2034 01:58:08.079 --> 01:58:10.960 spend on a new program. It's got to stop. And 2035 01:58:11.319 --> 01:58:12.680 one of the best ways to stop it is to 2036 01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:15.439 not keep feeding the system. To make these tax fits 2037 01:58:15.439 --> 01:58:18.039 permanent and let us keep our hard earned money so 2038 01:58:18.199 --> 01:58:20.520 that the federal government doesn't get its hands on it 2039 01:58:20.560 --> 01:58:22.720 and go out and spend find new ways to spend it, 2040 01:58:22.840 --> 01:58:24.520 and then some well. 2041 01:58:24.880 --> 01:58:27.520 As we always typically end our conversations, I want to 2042 01:58:27.560 --> 01:58:30.199 do it again today, Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity. 2043 01:58:30.560 --> 01:58:33.039 By listeners and I and everyone can play a part 2044 01:58:33.159 --> 01:58:35.560 in trying to keep these tax cuts in place.

Seven nine 2069 01:59:39.239 --> 01:59:41.319 right now, if if you five care see the talk station. 2070 01:59:41.840 --> 01:59:44.640 Imaging can be affordable, and I'm talking hospital imaging. You 2071 01:59:44.720 --> 01:59:46.760 don't have to go to the hospital imaging department for 2072 01:59:46.840 --> 01:59:52.640 your your MRIs and CT scans, ultrasounds, lung screenings, cardiacs scorings. Yeah, 2073 01:59:52.880 --> 01:59:55.560 when I'm talking about affordable imaging Services. I quite often 2074 01:59:55.600 --> 01:59:58.680 failed to mention how inexpensive a lung screening can be. 2075 01:59:59.239 --> 02:00:02.359 Not at the hospit little imaging department. It's only ninety 2076 02:00:02.479 --> 02:00:05.439 nine dollars at Affordable Imaging Services for that lung screening. 2077 02:00:05.520 --> 02:00:06.880 So if you need a lung screening, you know a 2078 02:00:07.039 --> 02:00:10.079 historic smoker, your doctor will recommend one. That's where you 2079 02:00:10.119 --> 02:00:11.359 need to go. You have a choice when it comes 2080 02:00:11.359 --> 02:00:14.119 to your medical care, so don't spend thousands, spend ninety 2081 02:00:14.159 --> 02:00:16.600 nine dollars.

I heard media 2123 02:02:19.960 --> 02:02:21.840 aviation expert Jay right left the bottom of the air. 2124 02:02:21.840 --> 02:02:23.640 I always look forward to talking to Jay, and I've 2125 02:02:23.640 --> 02:02:25.600 been looking forward to this conversation for a some time. 2126 02:02:25.680 --> 02:02:29.079 Mark Meckler, he's quite a guy, and you probably are 2127 02:02:29.159 --> 02:02:31.479 familiar with him if you don't know his name. He 2128 02:02:31.680 --> 02:02:34.640 is responsible for a bunch of things political pundit. He's 2129 02:02:34.640 --> 02:02:38.439 an attorney, fellow attorney, business executive president of Citizens for 2130 02:02:38.600 --> 02:02:42.000 Self Government Governance. And what we're going to be talking 2131 02:02:42.000 --> 02:02:45.119 about a Convention of States Actions. An active proponent of 2132 02:02:45.119 --> 02:02:48.199 a convention to propose amendens the United States Constitution, a 2133 02:02:49.239 --> 02:02:52.520 movement that's actually growing in size and strength. Welcome to 2134 02:02:52.560 --> 02:02:54.760 the fifty five KRC Morning from Market's a real pleasure 2135 02:02:54.760 --> 02:02:55.479 to have you on today. 2136 02:02:56.479 --> 02:02:58.199 Good morning, Brian, it's an honor to be with you. 2137 02:02:58.560 --> 02:03:02.880 Now, let's just start with the basics. Article five, Convention 2138 02:03:03.000 --> 02:03:06.600 to States. Explain to my listeners what this proposal will 2139 02:03:06.720 --> 02:03:12.720 allow us to do. What is the goal ideally of 2140 02:03:12.840 --> 02:03:13.239 this action. 2141 02:03:14.199 --> 02:03:16.319 Yep, you know it's funny that we have to explain it, Brian. 2142 02:03:16.600 --> 02:03:18.800 As a lawyer, I went to law school and realized 2143 02:03:18.840 --> 02:03:21.279 many years later and have actually read the Constitution in 2144 02:03:21.359 --> 02:03:21.840 law school. 2145 02:03:22.000 --> 02:03:26.880 So I know I have read the Constitution since law school, 2146 02:03:27.039 --> 02:03:29.239 but you don't really dive into it. 2147 02:03:29.399 --> 02:03:31.840 Yeah, so most people don't know about this. 2148 02:03:32.000 --> 02:03:34.640 Article five in the Constitution contains the ways in which 2149 02:03:34.680 --> 02:03:38.399 we are able to amend the Constitution. It has two ways. 2150 02:03:38.560 --> 02:03:41.159 One is when two thirds of Congress wants to propose 2151 02:03:41.199 --> 02:03:43.079 an amendment, they can do so, and then they send 2152 02:03:43.159 --> 02:03:46.279 that out to the states for ratification by three quarters 2153 02:03:46.319 --> 02:03:49.039 of the states or thirty eight states. The second way 2154 02:03:49.119 --> 02:03:51.840 the Framers gave to us is to call a convention 2155 02:03:51.960 --> 02:03:54.119 of states, and it takes two thirds of states or 2156 02:03:54.199 --> 02:03:56.720 thirty four states to call a convention. And the reason 2157 02:03:56.760 --> 02:03:59.319 they gave us this method they said in Convention that 2158 02:03:59.399 --> 02:04:01.520 they knew that the federal government we can become a 2159 02:04:01.600 --> 02:04:04.039 tyranny at some point, and that the states would have 2160 02:04:04.159 --> 02:04:06.079 to have a way to reign in the federal government. 2161 02:04:06.119 --> 02:04:08.039 So that's why they gave us this second clause of 2162 02:04:08.159 --> 02:04:11.359 Article five. And basically what it does is allows the states, 2163 02:04:11.399 --> 02:04:13.720 when two thirds of them want to to gather in convention, 2164 02:04:14.239 --> 02:04:16.720 they have to state in advance the reasons they want 2165 02:04:16.760 --> 02:04:18.399 to gather in convention, and the states. 2166 02:04:18.159 --> 02:04:18.960 All have to agree. 2167 02:04:19.039 --> 02:04:21.560 Thirty four states have to degree on the reason, and 2168 02:04:21.640 --> 02:04:24.119 they can go to convention propose amendments. And the primary 2169 02:04:24.199 --> 02:04:27.359 reason is to restrain the federal government. And so right 2170 02:04:27.399 --> 02:04:30.399 now we have a movement going on. Nineteen states have 2171 02:04:30.520 --> 02:04:34.319 passed a resolution to impose term limits on federal officials. 2172 02:04:34.399 --> 02:04:36.920 That's the electeds, but also the deep state that we're 2173 02:04:36.920 --> 02:04:40.239 seeing so exposed right now, staffers and bureaucrats. Number two, 2174 02:04:40.319 --> 02:04:43.039 to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, like a 2175 02:04:43.199 --> 02:04:46.720 balanced budget amendment, spending caps, tax caps, and number three, 2176 02:04:46.880 --> 02:04:49.920 and I think most importantly personally, is to restrain the 2177 02:04:50.000 --> 02:04:52.439 scope and jurisdiction of the federal government. So, for example, 2178 02:04:52.560 --> 02:04:55.159 when the president is talking about getting rid of the 2179 02:04:55.199 --> 02:04:56.079 Department of Education. 2180 02:04:56.159 --> 02:04:58.119 I think that's great, but we need to make. 2181 02:04:58.039 --> 02:05:01.039 That permanent administry, and we'll put it back in place 2182 02:05:01.079 --> 02:05:02.920 so you can have an amendment, for example, that says 2183 02:05:03.319 --> 02:05:06.399 there can be no involvement of the federal government in education, 2184 02:05:06.520 --> 02:05:07.800 and that would do a way with a Department of 2185 02:05:07.920 --> 02:05:08.880 Education permanently. 2186 02:05:09.560 --> 02:05:12.039 Well, it seems to me one of the easiest mechanisms 2187 02:05:12.119 --> 02:05:15.520 to achieve the goal of tearing back the excessive reach 2188 02:05:15.680 --> 02:05:18.680 of government springs from a case I know, you know, 2189 02:05:19.319 --> 02:05:22.479 which involves the commerce clause Wickered versus Philburn, which allows 2190 02:05:22.560 --> 02:05:25.199 them to pretty much do anything they damn will please, 2191 02:05:25.279 --> 02:05:30.000 literally anywhere, simply because anything we do impacts interstate commerce, 2192 02:05:30.479 --> 02:05:31.960 even on a minuscule level. 2193 02:05:33.279 --> 02:05:35.039 Yeah, you know, it's funny you bring up that case. 2194 02:05:35.479 --> 02:05:37.840 So few people who are not lawyers know about it. 2195 02:05:37.960 --> 02:05:41.399 We who are lawyers know it's actually insane. That case 2196 02:05:41.439 --> 02:05:43.920 basically said there was a farmer in Ohio who's growing 2197 02:05:43.960 --> 02:05:46.600 wheat for the consumption of his own family, and the 2198 02:05:46.680 --> 02:05:49.079 federal government penalized him for growing too much wheat. And 2199 02:05:49.119 --> 02:05:51.079 he said, look, you have no authority over me because 2200 02:05:51.520 --> 02:05:53.319 I didn't do anything other than grow weak for my 2201 02:05:53.399 --> 02:05:56.640 own family. I'm not engaged in interstate commerce. And the 2202 02:05:56.680 --> 02:06:00.199 federal government said, yeah, exactly, you didn't do anything. That's 2203 02:06:00.199 --> 02:06:02.439 why we can regulate you. Yeah, and even what do 2204 02:06:02.479 --> 02:06:02.800 you mean? 2205 02:06:03.119 --> 02:06:06.439 And the court ruled that well, because he didn't sell. 2206 02:06:06.359 --> 02:06:08.920 His wheat in interstate commerce and he didn't buy weed 2207 02:06:09.000 --> 02:06:11.800 in interstate commerce, he affected interstate commerce. 2208 02:06:11.840 --> 02:06:13.960 In other words, he did nothing, so he. 2209 02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:16.600 Could be regulated, and that gave the federal government the 2210 02:06:16.640 --> 02:06:18.760 power literally to regulate just about anything. 2211 02:06:19.359 --> 02:06:21.000 I don't mean to move off topic, because that, to 2212 02:06:21.119 --> 02:06:23.920 me is such a critical case in expanding the size 2213 02:06:23.960 --> 02:06:26.079 of the scope of government. I mean, the EPA uses 2214 02:06:26.119 --> 02:06:28.600 it a teaspoon of water on your land and they 2215 02:06:28.640 --> 02:06:32.760 can regulate it. It's just it's insanity. Do you think 2216 02:06:33.119 --> 02:06:35.840 ever in your or my lifetime that it can more 2217 02:06:35.920 --> 02:06:39.119 conservative Supreme Court which we currently have. It may even 2218 02:06:39.159 --> 02:06:41.199 be more conservative if Trump has his way and gets 2219 02:06:41.279 --> 02:06:45.439 more justices appointed. Would ever overturn the lunacy of that case? 2220 02:06:46.840 --> 02:06:48.680 You know, we have no indication right now that that 2221 02:06:48.680 --> 02:06:51.800 would happen. I think they will pair back that case. 2222 02:06:52.279 --> 02:06:54.720 I want people to understand, because we're lawyers. I want 2223 02:06:54.720 --> 02:06:56.720 to kind of just bring it to layman's terms. Because 2224 02:06:56.760 --> 02:06:59.800 my mind works more like a layman. What we're talking 2225 02:06:59.800 --> 02:07:03.239 about about is the Supreme Court removing authority for the 2226 02:07:03.359 --> 02:07:05.600 federal government to allow. 2227 02:07:05.359 --> 02:07:07.279 These agencies in these regulations. 2228 02:07:07.680 --> 02:07:10.840 And in other words, because of the Commerce Clause, the 2229 02:07:10.920 --> 02:07:16.399 federal government is allowed to have an EPA USDA all 2230 02:07:16.439 --> 02:07:19.800 of these agencies Department of Energy, Department of Education, each 2231 02:07:19.880 --> 02:07:23.319 of these agencies requires authority under the Constitution. None of 2232 02:07:23.359 --> 02:07:26.119 them have it in writing under the Constitution. Right, this 2233 02:07:26.279 --> 02:07:29.720 is an interpretation by the Supreme Court creating that authority. 2234 02:07:29.840 --> 02:07:31.640 So the Court would have to say, oh, we were 2235 02:07:31.680 --> 02:07:33.840 wrong on that commerce cause case, not just that one, 2236 02:07:33.920 --> 02:07:35.880 but a whole line of cases that follow it. Indeed, 2237 02:07:36.039 --> 02:07:37.600 so I think they might pair back on it. But 2238 02:07:37.640 --> 02:07:40.119 if we want to make dramatic progress on that, we 2239 02:07:40.279 --> 02:07:42.720 can do that in a Convention of States. We can 2240 02:07:43.079 --> 02:07:45.720 reinterpret or go back to the original interpretation of the 2241 02:07:45.760 --> 02:07:49.800 Commerce Clause, which actually just said that the federal government 2242 02:07:49.880 --> 02:07:53.159 has the power to regulate, which meant to smooth out 2243 02:07:53.239 --> 02:07:55.560 Back then, it didn't mean to prepare all these regulations 2244 02:07:56.039 --> 02:07:59.319 interstate commerce, and commerce meant the shipment of goods across 2245 02:07:59.359 --> 02:08:02.279 state lines. Trying to do is prevent trade wars between 2246 02:08:02.319 --> 02:08:03.560 the states exactly. 2247 02:08:04.239 --> 02:08:07.720 I mean, it just seems so simple a solution, and 2248 02:08:07.840 --> 02:08:10.359 I know everybody would face an uphill challenge getting a 2249 02:08:10.359 --> 02:08:13.680 Supreme Court to overturn that long standing, ridiculous precedent, But 2250 02:08:14.159 --> 02:08:15.680 I think some of the goals of Convention of the 2251 02:08:15.720 --> 02:08:18.199 States that you're talking about could be achieved if they 2252 02:08:18.319 --> 02:08:21.159 would reverse that. I mean, that's kind of that's kind 2253 02:08:21.159 --> 02:08:23.600 of why I initially gravitated towards me bring even bringing 2254 02:08:23.640 --> 02:08:26.479 that case up, Mark, because you know, we need to 2255 02:08:26.520 --> 02:08:29.880 amend the Constitution if that one case was overturned and 2256 02:08:29.960 --> 02:08:33.319 they took away the federal government's power to regulate stuff 2257 02:08:33.359 --> 02:08:36.520 that we are not doing over across state lines. 2258 02:08:36.680 --> 02:08:39.399 So and yeah, look, you nailed it, Brian. I think 2259 02:08:39.439 --> 02:08:40.319 that's really important. 2260 02:08:40.720 --> 02:08:42.560 It would probably do a way, we don't know the 2261 02:08:42.640 --> 02:08:45.439 exact number, but probably do away with forty to fifty 2262 02:08:45.520 --> 02:08:48.319 percent of the federal government because they just wouldn't have 2263 02:08:48.479 --> 02:08:50.600 the authority to operate anywhere. Yay. 2264 02:08:51.079 --> 02:08:52.800 Now, can we put that on the list of things 2265 02:08:52.840 --> 02:08:55.239 of the Convention of States to do to redefine the 2266 02:08:55.359 --> 02:08:59.920 commerce clause to actually mean cross state line commerce and 2267 02:09:00.239 --> 02:09:05.399 not just any activity that might somehow impact commerce generally. 2268 02:09:06.039 --> 02:09:08.199 I can guarantee you that's something that I will be 2269 02:09:08.319 --> 02:09:10.439 lobbying for if I'm a convention. 2270 02:09:10.720 --> 02:09:13.840 I love hearing it all right now, people who are 2271 02:09:13.960 --> 02:09:16.840 against the idea of a convention of States, And I 2272 02:09:16.920 --> 02:09:19.399 think you've already explained a way why this is not 2273 02:09:19.640 --> 02:09:23.039 a major concern, because so many states have to approve, 2274 02:09:23.840 --> 02:09:27.000 like ratifying an amendment to the Constitution that acts as 2275 02:09:27.039 --> 02:09:31.399 a stop you know, a speed bumper, a stopgut measure 2276 02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:34.520 to avoid some terrible consequences. But some people are worried about, 2277 02:09:34.680 --> 02:09:37.239 you know, the so called runaway convention, and oh my god, 2278 02:09:37.319 --> 02:09:39.399 if we convene a convention of States, all these left 2279 02:09:39.439 --> 02:09:43.119 wing liberal nutcases are going to you know, enshrine DEI 2280 02:09:43.359 --> 02:09:44.720 as an amendment to the Constitution. 2281 02:09:46.359 --> 02:09:46.560 Yeah. 2282 02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:48.439 Well, I mean the first thing I've say is we 2283 02:09:48.520 --> 02:09:50.840 have to know where our arguments come from. And that 2284 02:09:51.079 --> 02:09:51.720 argument was. 2285 02:09:51.800 --> 02:09:55.359 Created by the radical left in America in the nineteen 2286 02:09:55.439 --> 02:09:58.800 seventies and nineteen eighties, who was led by Chief Justice Berger, 2287 02:09:58.800 --> 02:10:01.159 who's the guy that gave us Row versus Wade, And 2288 02:10:01.239 --> 02:10:02.800 he was being asked what he thought of a convention 2289 02:10:03.000 --> 02:10:06.680 to overturn Roe versus Wade, and so of course he said, oh, well, 2290 02:10:06.720 --> 02:10:09.000 that's a terrible idea, and he made up this thing 2291 02:10:09.039 --> 02:10:11.399 which we'd never talked about before in American history, of 2292 02:10:11.479 --> 02:10:13.760 the idea of a runaway convention, where a convention could 2293 02:10:13.760 --> 02:10:16.640 propose all kinds of horrible things. Important to remember, a 2294 02:10:16.800 --> 02:10:19.479 supermajority of states have to agree in advance to what 2295 02:10:19.560 --> 02:10:22.479 the convention's about. Take thirty four states degree in advance 2296 02:10:22.920 --> 02:10:26.000 what the limitations on conventions are. And I talked about 2297 02:10:26.039 --> 02:10:29.079 what the ones we're proposing are, so nothing bad can 2298 02:10:29.159 --> 02:10:32.680 happen under that. And then the ultimate stop gap in 2299 02:10:32.760 --> 02:10:35.680 the end is anything that comes out of convention is 2300 02:10:35.880 --> 02:10:39.720 just a suggestion. Literally, the convention has no power. All 2301 02:10:39.800 --> 02:10:43.239 they can do is discuss and suggest, and then it 2302 02:10:43.319 --> 02:10:45.479 takes thirty eight states to ratify. And Brian, here's a 2303 02:10:45.520 --> 02:10:49.119 thought experiment for you. I've given this to literally millions 2304 02:10:49.199 --> 02:10:51.600 of people. I give out my personal email address, which 2305 02:10:51.680 --> 02:10:55.359 is Mmeckler at coosaction dot com, and say, if you're 2306 02:10:55.560 --> 02:10:58.640 worried about this, and you're like me as conservative libertarian, 2307 02:10:59.439 --> 02:11:02.039 give me the the amendment that you're worried about, and 2308 02:11:02.159 --> 02:11:04.880 then list the thirty eight states that we're ratifying. And 2309 02:11:05.000 --> 02:11:08.000 I can tell you that in doing this for eleven 2310 02:11:08.119 --> 02:11:10.000 plus years, I've not received an. 2311 02:11:09.880 --> 02:11:16.159 Email about it that speaks volumes mark it really does. 2312 02:11:16.399 --> 02:11:18.279 You haven't at this for a long time, and Convention 2313 02:11:18.319 --> 02:11:20.760 the States has been discussed for a long time, and 2314 02:11:21.520 --> 02:11:24.640 for what I understand, the concept is really kind of 2315 02:11:24.680 --> 02:11:27.199 it shares bipartisan support. Now, I mean, if you've got 2316 02:11:27.279 --> 02:11:30.840 a majority of Democrats supporting it, which apparently there are, 2317 02:11:31.079 --> 02:11:34.399 and sixty two percent of independence supporting it, and or 2318 02:11:34.520 --> 02:11:38.960 seventy five percent of Republicans supporting it, why haven't more 2319 02:11:39.079 --> 02:11:42.560 states just approved the concept, Ohio being one of them. 2320 02:11:42.640 --> 02:11:44.680 They aren't marked in green on your map yet. 2321 02:11:46.159 --> 02:11:48.680 Yeah, you know it's Ohio's been really interesting to me 2322 02:11:48.880 --> 02:11:52.600 and a little bit frustrating. We have I would say, 2323 02:11:52.920 --> 02:11:56.319 I'm very comfortable we have majority support in both houses, 2324 02:11:57.000 --> 02:12:00.159 and it's really been slowed down a little bit on 2325 02:12:00.239 --> 02:12:04.319 our side by leadership and a guy that I likes 2326 02:12:04.359 --> 02:12:07.079 a lot, Matt Huffman, who I think has been good 2327 02:12:07.159 --> 02:12:09.840 for the state. But and he is a big advocate 2328 02:12:09.960 --> 02:12:12.600 of the idea of a Convention of States, but he's 2329 02:12:12.720 --> 02:12:16.159 just been slow to allow it through the legislature. And Franklin, 2330 02:12:16.239 --> 02:12:18.439 Ohio you know, Huffman is the guy who has the 2331 02:12:18.520 --> 02:12:21.359 power in the legislature, and so he's just been. 2332 02:12:21.319 --> 02:12:21.840 Slow to go. 2333 02:12:21.960 --> 02:12:22.800 And I know him well. 2334 02:12:22.840 --> 02:12:25.399 And I'm hoping this here that we have the support 2335 02:12:25.479 --> 02:12:27.640 of leadership in both houses. I think we're going to 2336 02:12:28.000 --> 02:12:29.520 and I think we're going to get it done in Ohio. 2337 02:12:29.600 --> 02:12:31.800 This here, well, it seems to be that, you know, 2338 02:12:31.880 --> 02:12:34.560 in the last several days the Trump administration, I mean 2339 02:12:34.640 --> 02:12:37.600 they sprinted as soon as he was done getting sworn in. 2340 02:12:37.720 --> 02:12:41.000 I mean, I just cannot just comprehend the flory of 2341 02:12:41.039 --> 02:12:44.079 activity and the amount of effort and work that Trump 2342 02:12:44.119 --> 02:12:46.640 has been able to accomplish. But I'm given large credit 2343 02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:50.079 to Elon Musk for exposing how much waste there is 2344 02:12:50.239 --> 02:12:52.800 in government held a USA Department and some of the 2345 02:12:52.880 --> 02:12:57.600 programs and stupid, stupid things we spent forty billion dollars 2346 02:12:57.680 --> 02:12:59.840 on that has to run contrary to the values of 2347 02:13:00.039 --> 02:13:03.159 almost every American. You know, the idea of you know, 2348 02:13:03.439 --> 02:13:06.119 funding gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of 2349 02:13:06.159 --> 02:13:09.880 Virology alone, they've literally killed millions of people we paid 2350 02:13:09.960 --> 02:13:13.279 for that. What elected officials said that was a good idea? Oh, 2351 02:13:13.359 --> 02:13:19.199 that's right, not one. So the revelation of the waste, 2352 02:13:19.319 --> 02:13:23.520 the revelation of all of this just absolute waste a 2353 02:13:23.640 --> 02:13:25.720 tax payer dollars and the fact that we spend trillions 2354 02:13:25.720 --> 02:13:27.920 of dollars more than they take in every year. I 2355 02:13:28.000 --> 02:13:32.760 mean that crosses political lines. It's indefensible. 2356 02:13:33.680 --> 02:13:34.600 So it is. 2357 02:13:34.680 --> 02:13:38.039 And like you said, I mean across party lines. People 2358 02:13:38.079 --> 02:13:40.359 are in supported this because it's just common sense. I mean, 2359 02:13:40.399 --> 02:13:42.359 first of all, most people don't know about it, but 2360 02:13:42.439 --> 02:13:45.199 get started with when they do, and when you say, hey, 2361 02:13:45.279 --> 02:13:47.399 what we would like to do is keep these people 2362 02:13:47.479 --> 02:13:49.600 from being in DC for forty years. What we'd like 2363 02:13:49.640 --> 02:13:51.800 to do is make them balance their budgets, balance their 2364 02:13:51.880 --> 02:13:54.920 checkbooks like every human has to do, and frankly, almost 2365 02:13:54.960 --> 02:13:55.880 every state has to do. 2366 02:13:56.399 --> 02:13:58.359 And we want to take some power away from DC 2367 02:13:58.439 --> 02:13:58.840 and give. 2368 02:13:58.720 --> 02:14:01.479 It back to the states. You can see why that's nonpartisan. 2369 02:14:01.640 --> 02:14:04.720 For example, California would get more power, New York would 2370 02:14:04.720 --> 02:14:07.159 get more power, Illinois would get more power. States that 2371 02:14:07.199 --> 02:14:10.359 are not conservatives, not just a conservative thing. It just 2372 02:14:10.479 --> 02:14:14.000 takes power away from the centralizers. 2373 02:14:13.239 --> 02:14:16.199 In DC and frankly, the tyrants in DC and gives 2374 02:14:16.199 --> 02:14:17.000 it back to the people. 2375 02:14:17.840 --> 02:14:20.880 Well, it also seems with the Trump administration that your 2376 02:14:20.960 --> 02:14:22.880 idea of a Convention of States is probably going to 2377 02:14:22.920 --> 02:14:26.680 get even more widespread support because apparently Donald Trump's has 2378 02:14:26.960 --> 02:14:28.000 warmed up to the idea. 2379 02:14:29.239 --> 02:14:31.359 Yeah, you know, it's been really interesting. I couldn't have 2380 02:14:31.439 --> 02:14:33.960 predicted this, No way I could have known. But we 2381 02:14:34.079 --> 02:14:36.319 put out a fourth quarter newsletter and there's a picture 2382 02:14:36.399 --> 02:14:38.640 on the cover which kind of blew me away. If 2383 02:14:38.680 --> 02:14:40.760 you look at the Trump administration right now, and you 2384 02:14:40.880 --> 02:14:43.520 look at who is in the Trump administration that has 2385 02:14:43.560 --> 02:14:46.159 expressed public support for Convention of States, you. 2386 02:14:46.199 --> 02:14:46.960 Could start with jd. 2387 02:14:47.159 --> 02:14:50.359 Vance supported us when he was running for Senator. You 2388 02:14:50.439 --> 02:14:52.479 got Mike Huckabee, who's going to be our ambassador at 2389 02:14:52.520 --> 02:14:53.199 Israel as one of. 2390 02:14:53.199 --> 02:14:53.960 Our early supporters. 2391 02:14:54.039 --> 02:14:56.479 Pete Hegseth is a very close friend of big supporter 2392 02:14:56.880 --> 02:15:01.039 now a new sect death the incoming Sectioncretary of Agriculture, 2393 02:15:01.079 --> 02:15:04.359 Briock Rawlins is a big supporter of ours. Caroline Levitt, 2394 02:15:04.359 --> 02:15:06.279 who's the star of the hour, I would say, as 2395 02:15:06.359 --> 02:15:08.760 the new Press Secretary, was the supporter of ours when 2396 02:15:08.800 --> 02:15:11.960 she was running for the House of Representatives from New Hampshire. 2397 02:15:12.239 --> 02:15:13.640 So we've just got a whole bunch of people in 2398 02:15:13.760 --> 02:15:17.279 the admin around Trump and we know Trump is looking 2399 02:15:17.319 --> 02:15:20.359 at long term legacy play and that's important. I love 2400 02:15:20.439 --> 02:15:22.880 that he doesn't have another term, so what's he going 2401 02:15:22.920 --> 02:15:24.760 to do to make things permanent? And a lot of 2402 02:15:24.800 --> 02:15:27.840 stuff that he's doing right now can be reversed by 2403 02:15:28.000 --> 02:15:32.279 subsequent administration unless we ensconce them and constitutional amendments. So 2404 02:15:32.439 --> 02:15:35.600 we do know there's been discussions inside the inner circle 2405 02:15:35.640 --> 02:15:37.520 in the White House about a Convention of States and 2406 02:15:37.560 --> 02:15:39.399 I'm looking forward to Trump's support. 2407 02:15:39.960 --> 02:15:42.439 Well, and apparently you have some measure of because he 2408 02:15:42.520 --> 02:15:47.279 actually reposted on his truth social media post Mark Levin's 2409 02:15:47.359 --> 02:15:49.960 conversation about the Convention of States and Mark Levin is 2410 02:15:50.000 --> 02:15:51.439 a huge fan of the concept. 2411 02:15:52.920 --> 02:15:54.600 Yeah, you know, I was pretty excited to see that. 2412 02:15:54.760 --> 02:15:55.840 That's kind of out of the blue. 2413 02:15:55.880 --> 02:15:59.039 We had no idea that's coming, and so Trump posted 2414 02:15:59.119 --> 02:16:01.439 this and right in the Mark's talking about his support 2415 02:16:01.520 --> 02:16:03.760 for convention of state. So that's why we know what's 2416 02:16:03.800 --> 02:16:05.880 going on in the inner circles of the White House. 2417 02:16:06.520 --> 02:16:09.319 We also if you look at my ex account right 2418 02:16:09.359 --> 02:16:12.159 now just at Mark mecro, you'll see we've actually got 2419 02:16:12.279 --> 02:16:16.159 billboards up in the Austin, Texas area near the gigafactory 2420 02:16:16.680 --> 02:16:19.680 with Elon musk on them with a chainsaw saying want 2421 02:16:19.760 --> 02:16:22.600 to cut government permanently, Elon, and so we're hoping to 2422 02:16:22.640 --> 02:16:25.720 get Elon on board as well. The Vekramswami was already 2423 02:16:25.760 --> 02:16:28.119 on board. So I think we're getting very close to 2424 02:16:28.199 --> 02:16:30.840 the point where we'll see the administration in support openly. 2425 02:16:31.239 --> 02:16:33.319 So how many more states we need? I see that 2426 02:16:33.959 --> 02:16:36.680 on your map that you have highlighted in blue that 2427 02:16:36.760 --> 02:16:40.159 they have active legislation on this issue, you know, Nevada 2428 02:16:40.399 --> 02:16:44.600 and Montana and elsewhere. Of course Ohio isn't marked on that, 2429 02:16:44.840 --> 02:16:48.559 but maybe that that'll change. But how many more states 2430 02:16:48.639 --> 02:16:50.680 total do we need to sign on to the concept? 2431 02:16:51.959 --> 02:16:52.799 Just fifteen to go. 2432 02:16:52.959 --> 02:16:55.600 We're well past the halfway mark, and I expect we're 2433 02:16:55.600 --> 02:16:57.440 going to see a bunch more come on this year. 2434 02:16:57.520 --> 02:17:03.000 We've got a bunch of states tending Iowa, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Ohio. 2435 02:17:03.639 --> 02:17:05.399 While it's not on the map yet, it will get 2436 02:17:05.479 --> 02:17:07.440 filed this year and we expect to be moving forward 2437 02:17:07.479 --> 02:17:10.159 in Ohio. So we've got fifteen to go and we 2438 02:17:10.239 --> 02:17:11.600 are making a big push right now. 2439 02:17:12.000 --> 02:17:14.159 Okay, what can my listeners do to learn more about 2440 02:17:14.159 --> 02:17:16.879 the specifics of this and perhaps help push it through. 2441 02:17:17.319 --> 02:17:18.799 For example, here in Ohio. 2442 02:17:19.600 --> 02:17:21.159 Go to Convention of States dot com. 2443 02:17:21.360 --> 02:17:24.840 Get signed up there, click on sign the petition that 2444 02:17:24.920 --> 02:17:28.479 will allow them to send a notice to your legislators 2445 02:17:28.479 --> 02:17:31.120 that you're in support, and then call your legislators. This 2446 02:17:31.239 --> 02:17:33.760 is the most important thing. Get involved and let them 2447 02:17:33.840 --> 02:17:36.239 know to support this. So you do that, call your senator, 2448 02:17:36.319 --> 02:17:39.000 call your representatives, and then click on the take action 2449 02:17:39.120 --> 02:17:40.840 tab on the website and get signed up as a 2450 02:17:40.879 --> 02:17:42.360 volunteer and getting gates. 2451 02:17:42.600 --> 02:17:44.600 All right, just add commerce clause to the list. 2452 02:17:44.719 --> 02:17:47.319 Mark okay, it's at the top of my list, and 2453 02:17:47.360 --> 02:17:48.159 I promise. 2454 02:17:49.239 --> 02:17:52.559 Mark Meckler Convention the state's president.

Chuck Ingramont 2483 02:19:16.719 --> 02:19:18.840 fifty five KR see the Talk station. 2484 02:19:20.760 --> 02:19:22.680 A twenty nine think about KRC the talk days and 2485 02:19:22.680 --> 02:19:25.879 it's Thursday's time for iheartmediaviation next Bird Jay Ratliff love 2486 02:19:25.920 --> 02:19:29.040 having Jar on the program. He's like wrapping up the 2487 02:19:29.520 --> 02:19:32.440 Thursday morning shows, usually on a lighthearted note, although of 2488 02:19:32.600 --> 02:19:35.040 late we've had some pretty bad aviation news. But real quick, 2489 02:19:35.040 --> 02:19:36.840 before we get to Jay, I want a special shout 2490 02:19:36.879 --> 02:19:38.600 out thank you to not only everybody who went to 2491 02:19:38.639 --> 02:19:41.399 Listener Lunch yesterday had a fantastic time, but if you 2492 02:19:41.440 --> 02:19:43.280 didn't get a chance to listen Every Wednesday at seven 2493 02:19:43.319 --> 02:19:45.840 oh five we hear from Jack Atherton. He's a brilliant, 2494 02:19:46.040 --> 02:19:49.360 brilliant guy, great commentator. Jack in his beautiful better half 2495 02:19:49.440 --> 02:19:51.559 Ainsley made it to lunch yesterday and that was quite 2496 02:19:51.559 --> 02:19:54.200 a trip for them. Shout out to Jack and Ainsley. 2497 02:19:54.360 --> 02:19:57.319 Great CNISA. I had quite a few listeners chime in 2498 02:19:57.440 --> 02:19:59.319 to me and letting me know that the how pleased 2499 02:19:59.319 --> 02:20:02.479 they were to meet you. One of my fraternity brothers, Meggie. 2500 02:20:02.479 --> 02:20:04.799 They said you are two of the nicest people he's 2501 02:20:04.920 --> 02:20:06.760 ever met, and I can only agree with that all 2502 02:20:06.879 --> 02:20:09.120 day long. One of the other nicest people ever meet, 2503 02:20:09.200 --> 02:20:11.479 Jay Ratliff, Thanks for a biting by my words there 2504 02:20:11.639 --> 02:20:13.600 and welcome back to the Morning show. It's always my 2505 02:20:13.639 --> 02:20:14.680 pleasure to have you on the show. 2506 02:20:15.600 --> 02:20:18.159 Well, Jack and I have teamed up for some things 2507 02:20:18.239 --> 02:20:20.319 over the years, so believe me, anytime you want to 2508 02:20:20.319 --> 02:20:23.120 brag on Heat and his lovely wife, by all means 2509 02:20:23.239 --> 02:20:23.479 do so. 2510 02:20:23.920 --> 02:20:28.239 They are truly fantastic folks. All right, what's the latest? 2511 02:20:29.200 --> 02:20:33.040 We have two obviously terrible aviation incidents to talk about. 2512 02:20:33.079 --> 02:20:37.760 What's the latest on the DC A plane running into 2513 02:20:37.760 --> 02:20:40.079 the helicopter, or as the case may be, the helicapter 2514 02:20:40.159 --> 02:20:42.319 running into the plane, which seems to be what's happening. 2515 02:20:42.719 --> 02:20:46.000 The suggestion I've read is that the helicopter was flying 2516 02:20:46.079 --> 02:20:47.360 at too high of an altitude. 2517 02:20:48.360 --> 02:20:53.520 It was, yeah, And the initial focus for the National 2518 02:20:53.559 --> 02:20:57.600 Transportation Safety Board was to recover the wreckage of the 2519 02:20:57.879 --> 02:21:05.239 down to airliner first and then go after retrieving the helicopter. 2520 02:21:06.280 --> 02:21:08.319 And that's what they're in the process of doing now. 2521 02:21:09.159 --> 02:21:11.479 Because they were two separate spots where they came down, 2522 02:21:11.559 --> 02:21:15.680 and the priority was the airliner. They've been able to 2523 02:21:15.760 --> 02:21:18.360 take care of that. They've got the black boxes, they'll 2524 02:21:18.360 --> 02:21:22.600 be able to determine some and a little disappointed that 2525 02:21:22.719 --> 02:21:26.879 the black Hawk did not have a black box type 2526 02:21:27.000 --> 02:21:30.360 of component that would allow them to listen to the 2527 02:21:31.120 --> 02:21:35.799 conversations that were ongoing, and the Yeah, some black Hawks 2528 02:21:35.879 --> 02:21:38.520 have it, and I was hopeful that this was the case, 2529 02:21:38.639 --> 02:21:41.479 but the latest word that we had, and of course, Brian, 2530 02:21:41.559 --> 02:21:45.120 it may change if my information is wrong, but it 2531 02:21:45.959 --> 02:21:48.760 does not have that capability, which means that they're going 2532 02:21:48.840 --> 02:21:51.319 to the investigators are going to have to rely on 2533 02:21:51.879 --> 02:21:54.639 the back and forth, the time stamps, the different types 2534 02:21:54.639 --> 02:21:57.399 of things that they've got from a data standpoint to 2535 02:21:58.040 --> 02:22:01.440 try to figure out why that aircraft was where it 2536 02:22:01.520 --> 02:22:03.799 was supposed to be or where it was. Because you're right, 2537 02:22:04.319 --> 02:22:06.879 when the crash first took place and I heard the altitude, 2538 02:22:07.479 --> 02:22:10.120 I thought they can't be right because they've got that 2539 02:22:10.200 --> 02:22:13.120 ceiling of two hundred feet and I can't see any 2540 02:22:13.239 --> 02:22:16.959 reason why any helicopter crew would go above that, knowing 2541 02:22:17.079 --> 02:22:21.159 that the commercial lanes that are there, especially going in 2542 02:22:21.200 --> 02:22:22.639 and had a runway three to three there. 2543 02:22:22.719 --> 02:22:25.680 So, yeah, the investigation continues there. 2544 02:22:26.120 --> 02:22:29.760 And we did also find out that the NTSB told 2545 02:22:29.840 --> 02:22:33.159 us that the jetliner did try to elevate at the 2546 02:22:33.200 --> 02:22:36.840 last moment, apparently when they first saw the helicopter, and 2547 02:22:37.120 --> 02:22:39.000 of course at that point in time, it was simply 2548 02:22:39.079 --> 02:22:41.040 too late for them to do anything. 2549 02:22:41.840 --> 02:22:42.079 Brian. 2550 02:22:43.280 --> 02:22:45.159 Just the weirdest thing is when you look at some 2551 02:22:45.280 --> 02:22:48.840 of these different videos, it's not like the helicopter came 2552 02:22:48.920 --> 02:22:53.120 up from underneath and the collision took place. They were 2553 02:22:53.319 --> 02:22:56.680 not pointed at each other, but I mean they almost 2554 02:22:56.719 --> 02:22:58.399 were looking at each other as they were going in, 2555 02:22:59.000 --> 02:23:01.639 making you think, what the world was the flight crew 2556 02:23:01.680 --> 02:23:03.239 of the helicopter not. 2557 02:23:03.399 --> 02:23:07.600 Looking at exactly to see it because it just it was. 2558 02:23:07.639 --> 02:23:09.959 Like a dark being thrown in a dark board. It 2559 02:23:10.120 --> 02:23:13.200 was dead on collision. I mean, you couldn't if you 2560 02:23:13.399 --> 02:23:15.200 wanted to, You couldn't hit it more directly. 2561 02:23:16.159 --> 02:23:18.840 If this were a terrorist attack, that's exactly you know, 2562 02:23:19.000 --> 02:23:21.079 I think out would look. Not that I'm suggesting in 2563 02:23:21.159 --> 02:23:24.559 any way that's this, but it's the crew's attention or 2564 02:23:24.760 --> 02:23:27.040 whatever was elsewhere. And again we don't know if there 2565 02:23:27.120 --> 02:23:29.840 was a mechanical situation that was that the crew was 2566 02:23:29.879 --> 02:23:32.760 battling at the time that might have taken their attention 2567 02:23:32.840 --> 02:23:35.840 away from some of the critical moments of flight. 2568 02:23:35.920 --> 02:23:36.959 There what we just don't know. 2569 02:23:37.520 --> 02:23:40.280 I do know that my confidence in the National Transportation 2570 02:23:40.399 --> 02:23:44.600 Safety board is unbelievably high, and if there's a group 2571 02:23:44.639 --> 02:23:45.959 of men and women, they're going to be able to 2572 02:23:46.000 --> 02:23:48.879 find out exactly what happened and give to the Federal 2573 02:23:48.920 --> 02:23:52.280 Aviation Administration a list of recommendations on how we can 2574 02:23:52.319 --> 02:23:53.319 make aviation safer. 2575 02:23:53.719 --> 02:23:55.159 They're going to be the ones that do it. 2576 02:23:56.000 --> 02:23:57.879 But, as I've told you before, my biggest fear is 2577 02:23:57.879 --> 02:24:03.319 we're going to discover that the accident was easily. 2578 02:24:05.559 --> 02:24:08.559 And what you're suggesting is the negligence on the part 2579 02:24:08.559 --> 02:24:09.600 of the helicopter Violet. 2580 02:24:10.479 --> 02:24:13.959 Yeah, and again it's it's an incredibly early statement to make, 2581 02:24:14.479 --> 02:24:16.520 but based on the evidence as we're seeing it now, 2582 02:24:16.760 --> 02:24:18.520 I mean, it's obvious that the RJ was where it 2583 02:24:18.600 --> 02:24:23.479 was supposed to be, the American exactly where they were 2584 02:24:23.479 --> 02:24:26.319 supposed to. We also can say that the helicopter crew 2585 02:24:26.920 --> 02:24:28.639 was not where they were supposed to. Now, again, that 2586 02:24:28.760 --> 02:24:31.680 may be negligence, it may be mechanical, it may be 2587 02:24:32.479 --> 02:24:36.559 again the medical episode involving one of the pilots that 2588 02:24:37.360 --> 02:24:40.799 caused that altitude deviation to take place, we don't know. 2589 02:24:41.639 --> 02:24:44.120 But far too often in the history of aviation, when 2590 02:24:44.120 --> 02:24:47.760 you look at the decades and decades of as accidents 2591 02:24:47.840 --> 02:24:51.200 near accidents, the human element tends to come into play, 2592 02:24:51.280 --> 02:24:54.120 and almost all of them. It may not be the cause, 2593 02:24:54.360 --> 02:24:57.479 but it's a contributing cause many many times. And that's 2594 02:24:57.520 --> 02:25:00.799 why a lot of these well meaning individuals, we'll say, Jay, 2595 02:25:01.040 --> 02:25:04.079 that's why we need to have airplanes with no pilots, 2596 02:25:04.479 --> 02:25:07.440 because then we can avoid these mistakes from being made 2597 02:25:07.760 --> 02:25:10.200 and make aviation safer. And of course I don't agree 2598 02:25:10.239 --> 02:25:13.840 with that at all, but it is sad that there's 2599 02:25:13.879 --> 02:25:17.120 always that human element that seems to be there, which 2600 02:25:17.200 --> 02:25:20.159 is why, you know, you've always heard me say before 2601 02:25:20.280 --> 02:25:22.440 this that we were enjoying the safest ere ever of 2602 02:25:22.440 --> 02:25:25.559 commercial jet travel, but we had to be incredibly vigilant 2603 02:25:25.600 --> 02:25:27.920 to make sure that that continued to be the case, 2604 02:25:28.360 --> 02:25:31.479 because we get sloppy. Human nature is just that we 2605 02:25:31.600 --> 02:25:34.840 get complacent, we get a little sloppy, and as a result, 2606 02:25:35.639 --> 02:25:39.360 mistakes can take place. And you know, we've already seen 2607 02:25:39.399 --> 02:25:43.159 the FAA shut down that corridor for the helicopter traffic 2608 02:25:43.360 --> 02:25:46.760 there at the Regae National Airport, which is good and 2609 02:25:46.840 --> 02:25:47.840 that'll probably. 2610 02:25:47.600 --> 02:25:51.120 Be permanent, but I suspect that we're going to also see. 2611 02:25:50.959 --> 02:25:54.920 Some other recommendations that are going to be made. And 2612 02:25:55.319 --> 02:25:57.399 then of course, you know, one of the things that 2613 02:25:57.559 --> 02:25:59.719 just drives me out of my mind is that the 2614 02:26:00.000 --> 02:26:04.840 TSB may give the FAA fifteen different points, and the 2615 02:26:04.959 --> 02:26:10.440 FAA may implement one, maybe two. It's not a stamp 2616 02:26:10.559 --> 02:26:13.159 approval as you do all of them. Because many times 2617 02:26:13.239 --> 02:26:16.399 the airline industry and their lobbying group and others can 2618 02:26:17.040 --> 02:26:19.319 apply a little pressure saying we don't want to do this, this, 2619 02:26:19.440 --> 02:26:21.479 and this because it would cost too much money, and 2620 02:26:21.520 --> 02:26:23.760 then it would cause a raise, We would have to 2621 02:26:23.879 --> 02:26:26.360 raise fares, and then that would be really bad for 2622 02:26:26.440 --> 02:26:27.719 the consumers. Let's not do that. 2623 02:26:28.360 --> 02:26:29.200 That kind of garbage. 2624 02:26:29.280 --> 02:26:33.520 And where safety then becomes a you know, a negotiating 2625 02:26:33.639 --> 02:26:34.559 type of thing, it's. 2626 02:26:34.479 --> 02:26:37.879 Just, oh, so well, you know, that's where we are 2627 02:26:37.920 --> 02:26:40.399 in as far as the d d C craft, and. 2628 02:26:40.440 --> 02:26:42.280 We'll get to the Philly crash here when we come back. 2629 02:26:42.280 --> 02:26:44.799 But the bottom line is, I just can't for the 2630 02:26:44.840 --> 02:26:46.520 life we figure out how in the hell it is 2631 02:26:46.680 --> 02:26:48.680 that it was in any way, shape or form the 2632 02:26:48.840 --> 02:26:51.239 right thing to do to allow a military helicopter to 2633 02:26:51.360 --> 02:26:54.280 fly right there indirect on a final approach path. 2634 02:26:54.840 --> 02:26:56.479 Is there really a need to do that? 2635 02:26:56.639 --> 02:26:59.280 You can't just deviate a mile right or left and 2636 02:26:59.399 --> 02:27:02.840 go around that congested area. Whatever. 2637 02:27:02.959 --> 02:27:04.680 Well, we keep most we keep most of them. 2638 02:27:04.920 --> 02:27:07.440 They keep them within the confines of the river, if 2639 02:27:07.440 --> 02:27:09.719 you will, going up and down through there. So that's 2640 02:27:09.799 --> 02:27:13.559 their corridor. And I mean there's nothing but military aircraft 2641 02:27:13.680 --> 02:27:18.040 up there. They're everywhere, and there's always been this this 2642 02:27:18.440 --> 02:27:23.840 you know, combination, this influx of both commercial and military aircraft. 2643 02:27:23.959 --> 02:27:27.200 And normally, even though there's occasionally where you have one 2644 02:27:27.280 --> 02:27:29.239 that'll have to deviate and go around or you know, 2645 02:27:29.719 --> 02:27:33.040 approach differently or cancel of takeoff, it happens, but that 2646 02:27:33.120 --> 02:27:36.840 happens at every airport. Most of the time, this operates 2647 02:27:36.879 --> 02:27:39.920 exactly as it's supposed to. In this case, it didn't, 2648 02:27:40.000 --> 02:27:42.399 and it with horrific. 2649 02:27:42.120 --> 02:27:45.799 Consequences, absolutely horrific, speaking horrific, the Philly crash, we'll talk 2650 02:27:45.840 --> 02:27:49.200 about that, plus a couple got suit by an airline 2651 02:27:49.280 --> 02:27:51.399 costs a lot of money. We'll also talk about Elon 2652 02:27:51.520 --> 02:27:54.079 Musk ready to make some technical upgrades of air traffic 2653 02:27:54.120 --> 02:27:57.600 control much needed, apparently more with Jay Ratliffe coming up next, 2654 02:27:57.639 --> 02:27:58.360 Don't Go Away. 2655 02:27:58.360 --> 02:28:01.959 Fifty five KRC run a business and not thinking about it. 2656 02:28:03.200 --> 02:28:06.159 Continuing our conversation every Thursday for a few segments with 2657 02:28:06.239 --> 02:28:08.799 Jay Rattler, which I truly appreciate any my listeners enjoy 2658 02:28:08.840 --> 02:28:10.440 hearing from you as well. Jay, moving away from the 2659 02:28:10.520 --> 02:28:14.639 DC crash over to Philly crash. The one thing I 2660 02:28:14.799 --> 02:28:17.120 heard it was suggested is that there was a weight 2661 02:28:17.360 --> 02:28:22.760 shift which caused the plane to stall. Any further developments 2662 02:28:22.799 --> 02:28:25.520 beyond that speculation that was initially raised. 2663 02:28:26.239 --> 02:28:30.399 Now that was that's still pretty much something that's being 2664 02:28:30.440 --> 02:28:34.319 looked at as probable. And I think the reason that 2665 02:28:34.479 --> 02:28:36.760 we so many of us went in that direction early 2666 02:28:37.000 --> 02:28:39.639 was the video of that aircraft coming out of the sky. 2667 02:28:40.239 --> 02:28:43.040 If that airplane takes off, loses its engines, it becomes 2668 02:28:43.079 --> 02:28:46.559 a glider. So at fifteen hundred feet you've got x 2669 02:28:46.680 --> 02:28:50.079 amount of distance before that airplane has to come down. 2670 02:28:50.479 --> 02:28:51.959 But it's a controlled descent. 2671 02:28:52.799 --> 02:28:54.840 This airplane just fell out of the sky, which means 2672 02:28:54.879 --> 02:28:58.799 either structurally something came off the aircraft disrupting the lift 2673 02:28:58.879 --> 02:29:01.319 and down it came with as not having an ability 2674 02:29:01.680 --> 02:29:04.600 to control it, or something happened to that center of 2675 02:29:04.639 --> 02:29:07.959 gravity that shifted at a critical moment. And of course 2676 02:29:08.079 --> 02:29:10.959 weight and balance being everything on an aircraft. If you've 2677 02:29:10.959 --> 02:29:13.479 got an airplane at that critical moment that's taking off, 2678 02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:16.520 and you've got a sudden and unexpected shift of gravity 2679 02:29:17.440 --> 02:29:20.559 in that aircraft. What could take place is it could 2680 02:29:20.559 --> 02:29:25.559 actually cause the airplane to change its inclination to the 2681 02:29:26.399 --> 02:29:29.399 air over the wing then gets disrupted. The lift is 2682 02:29:29.479 --> 02:29:31.799 no longer there, and the airplane goes into a stall. 2683 02:29:32.000 --> 02:29:34.040 It just falls like it falls like a dead weight 2684 02:29:34.120 --> 02:29:36.159 out of the sky. Then it does. It does. 2685 02:29:36.239 --> 02:29:39.600 And if you were you know, altitude twenty thirty thousand feet, 2686 02:29:39.680 --> 02:29:41.479 no problem. You just point the nose down, you build 2687 02:29:41.559 --> 02:29:44.280 up the speed, and the airflow over the wings resumed, 2688 02:29:44.360 --> 02:29:47.040 lift is restored, and off you go. But if you're 2689 02:29:47.079 --> 02:29:49.799 fifteen hundred feet Brian, there's nothing you can do. And 2690 02:29:50.280 --> 02:29:54.040 some of the most terrific if you if you YouTube searched, 2691 02:29:54.200 --> 02:29:57.280 there's a seven forty seven the cargo plane that was 2692 02:29:57.360 --> 02:30:01.239 taking off that had that exact same thing happened, and 2693 02:30:01.440 --> 02:30:04.319 it's it's a horrific video to watch. But the airplane 2694 02:30:04.399 --> 02:30:07.399 takes off and it has that shift of gravity where 2695 02:30:07.399 --> 02:30:10.159 the cargo came loose, and you can see the moment 2696 02:30:10.440 --> 02:30:13.399 at a very low altitude that that aircraft the crew 2697 02:30:13.479 --> 02:30:16.840 lost complete control and that airplane just falls right out 2698 02:30:16.879 --> 02:30:20.559 of the sky. But it is, it's that's why everything 2699 02:30:20.719 --> 02:30:25.680 is strapped down. Everything is it just it's there's just 2700 02:30:25.760 --> 02:30:26.239 no room for. 2701 02:30:26.319 --> 02:30:28.159 Air No, and you know what you're you're doing. You 2702 02:30:28.280 --> 02:30:31.280 are also pointing out the importance of the folks that 2703 02:30:31.520 --> 02:30:34.040 load the plane, you know, the common laborer who are 2704 02:30:34.079 --> 02:30:37.079 putting things in the cargo bay of the plane. They 2705 02:30:37.120 --> 02:30:41.280 are critical the life saving saving lives on that, whether 2706 02:30:41.319 --> 02:30:44.879 it's the crew or the entire U list of passengers. 2707 02:30:44.920 --> 02:30:49.280 That it's just an amazing reality that a shifting weight 2708 02:30:49.840 --> 02:30:51.559 in the bottom of the airplane could just make it 2709 02:30:51.639 --> 02:30:52.399 drop like a rock. 2710 02:30:52.520 --> 02:30:56.120 If it's significant in size, yes, if you know, if 2711 02:30:56.159 --> 02:30:58.319 you've got six bags rolling around, that's not gonna be 2712 02:30:58.319 --> 02:31:01.680 an issue. But if you've got something substantial weight that 2713 02:31:01.879 --> 02:31:05.559 shifts quickly from one side to the next, yeah, it's 2714 02:31:05.639 --> 02:31:08.559 going to be something that could just cast some big 2715 02:31:08.639 --> 02:31:11.559 time problems for the flight crew. And sadly, if it's 2716 02:31:11.600 --> 02:31:15.840 a little altitude, there's nothing that they can do about it. 2717 02:31:16.319 --> 02:31:19.319 And that crew knew that there was nothing they could 2718 02:31:19.319 --> 02:31:19.760 do about it. 2719 02:31:19.879 --> 02:31:22.079 And I tell you it's just when you look at 2720 02:31:22.520 --> 02:31:24.639 you know, aviation and things that's one of the reasons 2721 02:31:24.639 --> 02:31:27.840 that weight and balance is so critical, where everything is 2722 02:31:29.559 --> 02:31:32.520 measured and weighed so that we know weight wise, how 2723 02:31:32.600 --> 02:31:34.959 much fuel, how much cargo, which part of the aircraft 2724 02:31:35.040 --> 02:31:38.239 it's in, how many passengers are. And that's why sometimes 2725 02:31:38.319 --> 02:31:41.000 when you are on a flight that maybe isn't full, 2726 02:31:41.479 --> 02:31:43.639 you'll have the pass the flight tends come back and say, hey, 2727 02:31:43.680 --> 02:31:45.200 we need you six people to move to the back 2728 02:31:45.200 --> 02:31:47.600 of the airplane, or we need you to come over here. 2729 02:31:48.000 --> 02:31:52.159 And what they're doing is at the pilot's instruction, distributing 2730 02:31:52.239 --> 02:31:55.120 that weight a little bit better throughout the cabin so 2731 02:31:55.319 --> 02:31:58.360 that it's going to make it easier for the crew 2732 02:31:58.559 --> 02:32:01.760 to maintain control the flight. So yeah, if you're ever 2733 02:32:01.840 --> 02:32:05.280 asked to move, please please don't throw a fifth Please 2734 02:32:05.399 --> 02:32:07.239 please don't throw f You know. 2735 02:32:07.319 --> 02:32:10.840 What, you're doing absolutely nothing today to make me want 2736 02:32:10.840 --> 02:32:12.959 to fly. I know this isn't you and you say 2737 02:32:13.040 --> 02:32:15.319 flight it's all safe and compared to being in a 2738 02:32:15.399 --> 02:32:16.000 car and all that. 2739 02:32:16.200 --> 02:32:16.639 I get it. 2740 02:32:17.040 --> 02:32:21.360 I know the statistics, but jeez, little Louise, the smallest like. 2741 02:32:21.399 --> 02:32:23.639 Going outside and getting struck by lightning twice in the 2742 02:32:23.680 --> 02:32:26.479 same day, twice in the same day, So I mean 2743 02:32:27.280 --> 02:32:30.200 that's you know, I will go out and get on 2744 02:32:30.200 --> 02:32:32.799 an airplane. I'll put my kids, my grandkids, my wife, 2745 02:32:33.000 --> 02:32:38.799 my mom. I mean, without hesitation. But when I recognize 2746 02:32:38.840 --> 02:32:40.920 here in the United States, but we do it better 2747 02:32:40.959 --> 02:32:43.639 than anybody on the planet, and there's a lot of 2748 02:32:43.719 --> 02:32:46.799 things we can do better, and we will, but you know, 2749 02:32:46.959 --> 02:32:50.680 it's I'm just I'm just thrilled that we have this 2750 02:32:51.559 --> 02:32:54.079 dedication to safety as we have here in the United States, 2751 02:32:54.200 --> 02:32:56.799 because the mechanics, the pilots, the training, the way the 2752 02:32:56.879 --> 02:33:00.959 aircraft are built to the NTSB, even the FAA oversight. 2753 02:33:01.120 --> 02:33:03.440 You know, many times I'll give them the credit that 2754 02:33:03.559 --> 02:33:07.200 they deserve. It's a large group of people that do 2755 02:33:07.280 --> 02:33:10.600 an incredible job daily to keep all of us safe. 2756 02:33:10.639 --> 02:33:14.360 And you know, when there's a breakdown, it can be costly, 2757 02:33:14.479 --> 02:33:16.719 and it's one of the reasons you've just got to 2758 02:33:16.719 --> 02:33:17.600 stay super vigilant. 2759 02:33:17.760 --> 02:33:20.520 No question about can we stick around? Will you pause 2760 02:33:20.559 --> 02:33:21.920 for a moment and come back with me to talk 2761 02:33:21.920 --> 02:33:23.760 about these other two We got two more cop topics 2762 02:33:23.799 --> 02:33:26.319 we talk about, plus a hub delay update from Jay 2763 02:33:26.399 --> 02:33:27.280 Ratlift Stick around. 2764 02:33:27.280 --> 02:33:29.920 It's eight forty six fifty five KRC. 2765 02:33:30.600 --> 02:33:32.520 There are two types of pain in the world one 2766 02:33:32.520 --> 02:33:33.959 more time with the ten and nine weather, we got 2767 02:33:34.000 --> 02:33:36.159 clouds until around one o'clock when we get the sun 2768 02:33:36.280 --> 02:33:38.159 back fifty five for the high today, clouds o every 2769 02:33:38.239 --> 02:33:41.200 night thirty tomorrow mostly sunny. Sky's forty two thirty three 2770 02:33:41.280 --> 02:33:44.520 every night with clouds and rain in the daytime. On Saturday, 2771 02:33:45.360 --> 02:33:47.239 high in the mid fifties, we're closing out of forty 2772 02:33:47.280 --> 02:33:50.120 four degrees and one more time for traffic from the 2773 02:33:50.239 --> 02:33:51.319 U see Triumphant Center. 2774 02:33:51.399 --> 02:33:54.479 Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US. 2775 02:33:54.639 --> 02:33:57.440 If you're at risk, trust the experts that you see 2776 02:33:57.520 --> 02:33:59.920 health for innovative and personalized hardcare. 2777 02:34:00.200 --> 02:34:03.479 Expect more at uc help dot com. They've opened up 2778 02:34:03.520 --> 02:34:04.280 the right lane. 2779 02:34:04.120 --> 02:34:07.120 On westbound for Washington Way that's helping traffic off of 2780 02:34:07.239 --> 02:34:10.440 seventy one into downtown. Looks like things are still blocked 2781 02:34:10.479 --> 02:34:15.280 off on inbound Columbia Parkway. At Third Street southbound seventy 2782 02:34:15.319 --> 02:34:17.879 five there's a wreckor aser Charles Center by. It's packing 2783 02:34:17.959 --> 02:34:21.040 traffic to seventy four chut Kingbramon fifty five k S 2784 02:34:21.200 --> 02:34:22.280 the talk station. 2785 02:34:23.959 --> 02:34:27.000 Hey fifty to fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Thursday 2786 02:34:27.280 --> 02:34:29.920 tune and tomorrow at six thirty am with Tech Friday's 2787 02:34:29.959 --> 02:34:32.280 Dave Hatter. In the meantime, one more time with I 2788 02:34:32.360 --> 02:34:36.280 Heard Me The Aviation Next for Jay Ratliffe ninety thousand dollars. 2789 02:34:36.799 --> 02:34:39.479 What what happened, Well, we had. 2790 02:34:39.360 --> 02:34:44.639 A couple on a Alvianca flight and they got to fights, 2791 02:34:44.680 --> 02:34:49.280 this couple and as a result, the man throws the 2792 02:34:49.360 --> 02:34:53.079 phone at his wife and it hits the wall and 2793 02:34:53.319 --> 02:34:57.559 overheats and starts to catch fire. So now the crew 2794 02:34:57.639 --> 02:35:01.159 has to decide to go back and land because of 2795 02:35:01.280 --> 02:35:04.840 the smoldering fire that they have on board the aircraft. Well, 2796 02:35:04.879 --> 02:35:07.159 the aircraft is too heavy to land. It's not yet 2797 02:35:07.200 --> 02:35:10.280 a critical situation, so they decide to burn off the 2798 02:35:10.360 --> 02:35:14.760 fuel for three hours and then land the airplane so 2799 02:35:14.920 --> 02:35:18.120 that a the passengers that were disruptive can be removed, 2800 02:35:18.719 --> 02:35:21.520 the damage to the inside of the aircraft can be repaired, 2801 02:35:22.079 --> 02:35:23.719 and then they can take care of the rest of 2802 02:35:23.760 --> 02:35:27.920 the customers. The airline decided to sue this couple for 2803 02:35:28.120 --> 02:35:31.559 ninety thousand dollars in part for the damage to the 2804 02:35:31.639 --> 02:35:34.799 aircraft the fuel that they had to expend trying to 2805 02:35:34.959 --> 02:35:38.520 land after the event took place. Because you can land 2806 02:35:38.600 --> 02:35:40.840 too heavy and you don't want to do that if 2807 02:35:40.879 --> 02:35:43.959 you don't have to, unless it's a dire emergency situation. 2808 02:35:44.639 --> 02:35:46.879 And yeah, the thought processes. 2809 02:35:46.959 --> 02:35:51.920 If you find these individuals enough, Brian, maybe it'll help 2810 02:35:52.120 --> 02:35:53.079 future behavior. 2811 02:35:53.159 --> 02:35:56.319 I doubt it, but you know, at least you hope 2812 02:35:56.360 --> 02:35:57.200 that's going to be the case. 2813 02:35:58.000 --> 02:36:01.280 Yeah, no question about it. Cautionary tale, right. 2814 02:36:02.719 --> 02:36:04.760 Get the word you know, I told you these are 2815 02:36:04.760 --> 02:36:07.200 the people that you put their their pictures in the 2816 02:36:07.399 --> 02:36:10.239 in the TSA area. Anytime that you get that long 2817 02:36:10.319 --> 02:36:13.360 screening line where every so often their picture pops up 2818 02:36:13.399 --> 02:36:14.200 with the dollar. 2819 02:36:14.120 --> 02:36:16.159 Amount underneath they were fined exactly. 2820 02:36:16.159 --> 02:36:20.600 It reminds people constantly, and you know that there are consequences, 2821 02:36:20.639 --> 02:36:23.120 and we're seeing more airlines do that, especially on diverted flights, 2822 02:36:23.120 --> 02:36:26.360 and I'm glad to see it because you're inconveniencing everybody 2823 02:36:26.440 --> 02:36:29.280 on that airplane and everybody that's waiting on that airplane 2824 02:36:29.319 --> 02:36:31.239 at the next stop that's going to be canceled. 2825 02:36:31.239 --> 02:36:31.559 As well. 2826 02:36:31.760 --> 02:36:34.760 The fact that people are so oblivious to the concerns 2827 02:36:34.840 --> 02:36:37.639 and and and the needs of other people, it's just 2828 02:36:38.319 --> 02:36:41.920 it's obviously a growing phenomenon. People are very very selfish 2829 02:36:41.959 --> 02:36:45.040 and don't care about other people, all right, Elon musk 2830 02:36:45.319 --> 02:36:46.879 is he going to fix it? We had a real 2831 02:36:46.920 --> 02:36:49.200 problem with air traffic controls, shortage of them. That's one 2832 02:36:49.200 --> 02:36:50.719 of the things that they said was could have been 2833 02:36:50.760 --> 02:36:53.879 a problem in DC. But I saw the other day. 2834 02:36:53.920 --> 02:36:56.440 I guess two aircraft ran into each other on the 2835 02:36:56.520 --> 02:36:59.440 runway on Wednesday, a Japanese airliner and I guess some 2836 02:36:59.600 --> 02:37:02.360 delta flight. But that's an air traffic control issue, I 2837 02:37:02.399 --> 02:37:04.680 would imagine, So what's going on and what do we 2838 02:37:04.760 --> 02:37:05.520 need to fix? Jay? 2839 02:37:06.440 --> 02:37:09.360 Yeah, on that way was a delta flight was being deced. 2840 02:37:09.520 --> 02:37:12.360 You know, the japan airlines playing taxing by and think 2841 02:37:13.000 --> 02:37:16.799 nailed it. Pretty easy to tell who's at fault there, ye, 2842 02:37:17.159 --> 02:37:20.000 because only one of the two airplanes were moving. But 2843 02:37:20.120 --> 02:37:22.840 you know, Elon musk Is is a very it kind 2844 02:37:22.879 --> 02:37:25.840 of guy, and I would pay I would have paid 2845 02:37:25.959 --> 02:37:29.360 money to have walked with him as he's been given 2846 02:37:29.479 --> 02:37:33.879 the tour of the Federal Aviation Administration. Air traffic control 2847 02:37:33.959 --> 02:37:37.120 says where they're relying on some of this equipment and 2848 02:37:37.319 --> 02:37:39.799 technology that it goes back seventy years. 2849 02:37:39.920 --> 02:37:42.040 They're still using a giant floppy discs. 2850 02:37:42.120 --> 02:37:44.000 I heard, Well, they are. 2851 02:37:44.120 --> 02:37:46.440 There's so many things that have to be upgraded, and 2852 02:37:47.719 --> 02:37:51.600 it would be like, I don't know, I can't even 2853 02:37:51.639 --> 02:37:55.280 think of the comparison, but for somebody like him, and 2854 02:37:55.399 --> 02:37:58.399 even President Trump and others that are saying, look, this 2855 02:37:58.680 --> 02:38:01.680 is so far past being done here, we've got to 2856 02:38:01.719 --> 02:38:06.200 get this fixed. And other administrations have made a similar assessment, 2857 02:38:06.440 --> 02:38:08.799 but nothing ever seems to get done. And one of 2858 02:38:08.840 --> 02:38:12.360 the frustrations of air traffic control is that these controllers 2859 02:38:12.639 --> 02:38:15.079 have to work with a lot of this antiquated equipment. 2860 02:38:15.399 --> 02:38:18.799 And I'll say that from a retention standpoint, it makes 2861 02:38:18.920 --> 02:38:22.319 their job as controllers more stressful, harder to do. And 2862 02:38:22.440 --> 02:38:24.680 you want to do everything you can to keep these 2863 02:38:24.959 --> 02:38:28.200 men and women sticking around for a while. Let's give 2864 02:38:28.200 --> 02:38:29.879 them state of the art equipment to you, so let's 2865 02:38:29.920 --> 02:38:34.559 make their job easier. Let's let's make aviation safer so 2866 02:38:34.719 --> 02:38:37.000 that we can do everything that we want to do. 2867 02:38:37.959 --> 02:38:40.799 As far as protecting everybody who flies. There's no way 2868 02:38:40.879 --> 02:38:42.600 that you can have two two and a half million 2869 02:38:42.639 --> 02:38:45.440 people fly every day, and I consider that a priority. 2870 02:38:45.520 --> 02:38:50.239 But Brian, the problem has been over the last several decades, 2871 02:38:50.600 --> 02:38:53.440 we found a way to make it work so in 2872 02:38:53.760 --> 02:38:56.239 the eyes of the people that spend money in Washington, DC. 2873 02:38:56.920 --> 02:38:59.920 Why spend hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on 2874 02:39:00.200 --> 02:39:02.879 this and then a like number here and hundreds of 2875 02:39:02.879 --> 02:39:06.000 million because it's working now, so we can use that 2876 02:39:06.079 --> 02:39:09.680 money elsewhere, and they do. And it's really unfortunate because 2877 02:39:09.719 --> 02:39:13.639 we're so far behind. It's going to take a administration 2878 02:39:13.840 --> 02:39:16.319 or two to get us caught up. But hopefully Trump 2879 02:39:16.360 --> 02:39:17.680 can get us pointed in the right direction. 2880 02:39:18.040 --> 02:39:20.920 Well, one can only hope. And thinking of a day hatter, 2881 02:39:21.040 --> 02:39:24.120 I hope they keep security in mind. If they're upgrading 2882 02:39:24.159 --> 02:39:26.200 the air traffic control system by way of keeping it 2883 02:39:26.280 --> 02:39:27.520 from being able to be hacked. 2884 02:39:28.079 --> 02:39:30.399 All right, Well, that that that for sure. But I 2885 02:39:30.559 --> 02:39:33.799 just can't wait to see the left go nuts. I mean, 2886 02:39:33.920 --> 02:39:37.559 if he makes aviation safer, you know they're going to 2887 02:39:37.639 --> 02:39:43.120 complain and it's like it's just a lucy But that's 2888 02:39:43.159 --> 02:39:45.680 what's how dare you make it safer for me to fly? 2889 02:39:46.200 --> 02:39:48.479 I'm so glad I didn't vote for you. Yeah, it's 2890 02:39:48.520 --> 02:39:49.680 just it's ridiculous. 2891 02:39:50.079 --> 02:39:52.719 It is absolutely ridiculous. All right, let's conclude, as we 2892 02:39:52.719 --> 02:39:53.639 always do. Hub delays. 2893 02:39:53.680 --> 02:39:56.639 What's it like out there to be a hair only 2894 02:39:56.840 --> 02:39:59.040 everything to the Northeast. I mean it's nuts. 2895 02:39:59.239 --> 02:40:03.040 We've got ice, we've got wind, we've got snow, limited visibility, 2896 02:40:03.120 --> 02:40:06.680 we've got everything from Charlotte towards the northeast. New York, Philadelphia, 2897 02:40:06.799 --> 02:40:11.319 d C, Boston getting absolutely hammered today. Some canceled flights, 2898 02:40:11.319 --> 02:40:13.360 a lot of delayed flights. It's gonna be with us 2899 02:40:13.440 --> 02:40:16.760 the entire day. Hopefully better by tomorrow. But if you're 2900 02:40:16.760 --> 02:40:19.879 flying tomorrow morning, some of the originating flights may not 2901 02:40:20.040 --> 02:40:22.520 make it to where you need to be, So tomorrow 2902 02:40:22.559 --> 02:40:24.520 morning flights are going to be impacted as well. So 2903 02:40:24.879 --> 02:40:27.399 for the next twenty four to thirty six hours, this 2904 02:40:27.559 --> 02:40:30.959 storm going through the Northeast is really gonna hammer operations 2905 02:40:31.000 --> 02:40:34.239 across the country. So if you're headed towards the Northeast, 2906 02:40:34.319 --> 02:40:36.959 just take an extra dissipation. It's gonna be a slow go. 2907 02:40:37.319 --> 02:40:40.040 Day, Ratliff, I enjoy the conversation every week.
