And how much you spending on Valentine's Day. 41 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:49.280 Valentine's Day's Day, I got engaged. Nothing. I haven't even 42 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.599 given it any thought. One of the smartest things I 43 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.000 ever did was asked my now soon to be thirty 44 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.120 three years of marriage wife to marry me. And it 45 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.240 didn't work out real well too. I mean I had 46 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.759 something planning, going to take her out to dinner, and 47 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.800 we ended up getting carry out Thai food, sat down 48 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.120 on the living room floor and eat Thai food. And 49 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.199 I knew it was the right thing because one of 50 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.680 my favorite movies of all time, Costablanca, was actually on television. 51 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.759 And so she accepted my proposal of marriage. So that 52 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.159 was it, and we got married the following June. So 53 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.800 it worked out really well for me. And don't spend 54 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.319 a lot of money on a wedding. I know people 55 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.280 are big on spending a lot of money on weddings. 56 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.919 We just got married in the lobby of the Ritz 57 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:38.560 Carlton Hotel. Management was not real happy about that too. 58 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.360 I guess we didn't tell him it was going to happen. 59 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.560 But we had a judge there, a friend that was 60 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.199 a partner of the law firm I was working at, 61 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.159 was a judge in Naples, Florida, and he was happy 62 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.240 to show up and marry us. His wife acted as 63 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.919 a witness and the photographer, which we hired last minute 64 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.080 was the other witness. We told everybody we were leaving 65 00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.919 to get married and ended up having a nice party. 66 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.680 Thank you to my mom and dad for putting that 67 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.080 party on. But you know, look, I call that basically 68 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.479 a zero dollar expend at your wedding compared to what 69 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.120 you can spend on weddings, and no one seemed to suffer. 70 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.680 Didn't want to cut and pick and choose who was 71 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.959 going to show up. People get pissed off about something 72 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.560 like that. How come I wasn't invited? How come you 73 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.519 invited that person? Mean, it's like, you know what, We're 74 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.680 not going to deal with that, We're just going to 75 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:27.240 get married, you know. And some people get upset, like, 76 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.040 well there wasn't a priest presiding or a minister presiding. 77 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.360 He's like, no, my belief in the institution of marriage. 78 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.439 You know, you can just you could sit down in 79 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.439 a room with someone you love, and if you believe 80 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.279 in God and you have faith, you make a pledge 81 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.040 to the Almighty that you were going to marry and 82 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.560 love and cherish and all that. It's a pledge to God. 83 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.560 I mean, what's a pledge to the state worth Seriously? 84 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.720 And I know. The point is he got paperwork in 85 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.199 his documented and that means you have an obligation. Then 86 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.639 you know child support and all that and division of property. 87 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.800 Though all the state involvements brings from people not fulfilling 88 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.800 their obligations which are supposed to be obligations to God. 89 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.360 Here I am on a tear anyway, Valentine's Day, how 90 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.600 about you going to spend on it? We're going to 91 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.759 find out with Brian James and Mandy Gunna Sakara the 92 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.279 book y'all fired talk with her back in October. We're 93 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:23.879 going to find out what she thinks about Doge and 94 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.920 the well draining of the swamp which is going on 95 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:33.519 full on. So I've got an illustration to that. In in 96 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.639 spite of the fact that Elon Musk has been blocked 97 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.160 from access to the Treasury Department information, He's got some 98 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.720 good ideas there. Even the folks in the Treasury Department 99 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.360 have no idea where the money is going to the 100 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.839 tune of fifty to one hundred billion dollars five three, seven, 101 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.920 four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two 102 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.800 to three taco with pound five fifty on at and 103 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.439 t phones well here what Mark has to say this morning.

Happy Monday, and welcome to 105 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:57.720 the Morning Show. 106 00:05:58.959 --> 00:05:59.759 Good morning, Brian. 107 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.079 So I wanted to rant here a little bit and 108 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.319 maybe slash psa announcement for people that are in certain 109 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.079 communities soever. I'm sure you're aware of Friday, there was 110 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.399 a group of so called Nazi white supremacists that had 111 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.839 manners over the top of by seventy five there in front, 112 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.920 twelve twelve of them, right, yeah, yeah. So I was 113 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.600 driving south on seventy five that day and I see 114 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.000 it and I started laughing, and I'm like, okay, so 115 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.040 this is going to start, right And then some of 116 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.279 the guys at work were talking about it and I said, wait, 117 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.480 I said stop, wait a minute. I said, now, think 118 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.240 about it. Think about where they're set up. Just you know, 119 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.959 they're going to so called protests, and they're carrying all 120 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.480 of them, not all of them. I don't know if all 121 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.759 of them did, but they had long guns. They are fifteen. 122 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.680 But like, so, we had some of the guys I 123 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.759 had a little short conversation about it, and you know, 124 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.439 I said, think about it. This is thee it it's 125 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.720 the same people that were hired to protest around the 126 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.639 country years ago, and so on and so forth. 127 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.199 So if you jump forward. 128 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.839 To Sunday, I had to run to the office. When 129 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.959 to get through the office, I had to run down 130 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:20.560 Shepherd to down and I'm sorry, down Anthony Wayne. So 131 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.839 as I approached Shepherd, I see a guy standing there, 132 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.120 and there's a guy on the other street corner. They 133 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.279 were dressed alike. And the guys standing there with an 134 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.920 AR fifteen. This is Sunday morning, about noon, and I 135 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.519 was on the phone with my wife and I said, 136 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.199 what in the hell? And I thought it was I 137 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.720 couldn't tell what color the guy was. He was fully 138 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.759 covered up, had a mask on, and you know, I thought, well, 139 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.800 maybe you know police are standing out here, But then 140 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.519 it was obvious it wasn't at a policeman, and so 141 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.600 I couldn't tell what color the guy was. So I 142 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.199 went to the office, did what I needed to do, 143 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.959 turned around, came back up to Shephard. So I'm still 144 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.480 on the phone with my wife and I said, hold 145 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.199 on a second. So I pulled over and I rolled 146 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.399 my winded down because if it was one of the 147 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.600 little Antifa, I won't say the word. I want to, 148 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.720 but I was gonna just ask him, you know, what 149 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.079 are you doing? You're Paige, get the hell out of here. 150 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.000 But the guy pulls his mask down and he's a 151 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.720 black guy, and I said, can I ask you a question? 152 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.319 And he starts backing up, and again he's got an 153 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.159 AR fifteen and I'm pulled off. I'm in my company truck. 154 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.240 I pulled, you know, I. 155 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:35.720 Pulled off the side of the right of this rolled 156 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.440 I went to down. I said, can I ask you 157 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.159 a question? As I say that, he starts backing up 158 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.279 and he's raising the gun, okay, and he goes, are 159 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:50.039 you a Nazi? And I started laughing. I'd like what 160 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.000 He goes, are you a Nazi? And I said, I 161 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.080 just want to ask. 162 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:55.440 You a question. 163 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.759 The entire time he's backing up, he grabs a radio 164 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.159 that's on his lapel and starts radio and end a 165 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.200 white guy and a gray bit duft truck, on and 166 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:05.679 on and on. 167 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:06.840 And as he's doing this. 168 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.440 He backs up over an old cable in the lot 169 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.720 where he's standing and almost falls backwards with a I'm 170 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:20.879 assuming loaded AR fifteen. And I was like, oh my gosh, 171 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:28.639 this is ridiculous. So he catches himself before he falls completely. 172 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.919 I just said, I laughed at him. I said, you're 173 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.480 an idiot, and I drove away. So I called an 174 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.360 officer at Lachlan and I told him what happened, and 175 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.120 he said, yeah. He said they've been out there about 176 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.440 an hour. And I said, he never fully pointed the 177 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.320 weapon at me. I said, but he was raising it. 178 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.519 He had his finger on the trigger guard, and he 179 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.200 never pointed it at me, but he. 180 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:50.840 Was raising it. 181 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:52.879 And he was backing up the entire time like I 182 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:58.879 was a threat. And the officer said, yeah, they've been 183 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.039 out there about an hour. And I said, well, I 184 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.279 find it hard to believe that guys are allowed to 185 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.240 stand over on an overpass with AR fifteen's number one 186 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.159 on Friday, with all the things that have happened in 187 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:15.080 this country with shootings. And then he said, well, that's 188 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:16.360 they open Kerry Low in Ohio. 189 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.720 You can open Kerry. 190 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:22.080 I said, well, I get that, but I said, these 191 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.320 so backing up overall, I try to be quick people 192 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.960 in these communities. I don't care if you're in Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, 193 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.080 Saint Louis, it doesn't matter. Any of the predominantly black 194 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:40.480 neighborhoods that there's a reason they picked that overpass to 195 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:44.120 do this, to provoke a reaction the way that they did, 196 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.279 and people in these communities, you got to be smart 197 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.559 enough to understand that Donald Trump made inroads into the 198 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.639 black vote and the Democrats and George Soros don't like it, 199 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.360 and they're going to do whatever they can to paint 200 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.679 this white supremacy crap. And there's probably not seven true 201 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.399 Nazis in the entire country. 202 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.039 Yeah, that was my reaction, mark the minute I saw that, 203 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.440 in the seemingly over reaction to these idiots stand on 204 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.279 the overpass. There were twelve of them, and I thought 205 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.200 the exact same thing. I think. I guess they found 206 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:19.279 every member, every white supremacist they could round up, and 207 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.519 they ended up in Lincoln Heights on the overpass. Because 208 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.919 I mean, I'll be sixty in September. I've never run 209 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.639 into one in real life ever. And you know why 210 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:34.440 they don't project themselves because the entire world views them 211 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:39.559 as idiots. Their their ideology is stupid. This racism that 212 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.320 they expouse is not embraced by anyone who has an 213 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:49.360 ounce of intellect. I mean right, Yeah, but the. 214 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.480 Church on the church on Shepherd As I came up, 215 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.399 it's Lincoln Heights Baptist something. I don't know that place, 216 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.159 and maybe it's like at every Sunday, I don't know. 217 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.679 It was absolutely jammed to the point where people were 218 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.919 parking in the grass. Betram News was there and there 219 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.279 was a woodlawn officer sitting outside the church in the street. Yeah, 220 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.720 so they and I think that may have been the 221 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.000 preacher that stood out there on the news and was 222 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:21.519 talking about all that. The thing is is that these 223 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.360 communities have to be smarter than this. Don't fall for 224 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:29.480 it and understand that. I was going if that guy 225 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.960 was one of the little hired ANTIFA actors, because I 226 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.480 can guarantee you that probably every one of those guys 227 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.919 were hired to do that. There were actors, it was theater. 228 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.559 But if he was one of those guys, I was 229 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.799 going to give him the what for and tell him 230 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.720 to get the hell out of there. Nobody wants to 231 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.279 see your stupidity here, you know. I was going to 232 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.919 stand up for that community. Yeah, and I'm a white guy, 233 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.080 but warning the white guys that are driving through Lincoln Heights, 234 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.519 don't be surprised if you get asked if you're a Nazi. 235 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:58.480 I mean, that was one of the dumbest questions I've 236 00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.440 ever been asked. 237 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.159 In my Lifeunderstood, Mark, I mean understand. 238 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.879 It bothered me so bad. 239 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.120 I can hear it is going to happen. 240 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.039 It's going to happen across the country. 241 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.519 In fact, I spoke with somebody. 242 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.559 That said that it's already happening down south as well. 243 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:21.879 So it is. Well, I I feel very confident that 244 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.320 it is theater. But what really struck me is the 245 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.679 most bizarre thing is somehow a group of twelve let's 246 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.159 say they are the twelve Nazis that you could round 247 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.679 up if you were looking for them, that somehow Donald 248 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.960 Trump had a connection with them being on an overpass 249 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:45.960 in Lincoln Heights. Like, uh, what, okay, that's an onione. 250 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.120 That's an unhinged leftist reaction. People who have the Trumps 251 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.480 arrangements under him, with Donald Trump living rent free in 252 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.879 their head and he's responsible for every evil in the world. 253 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.559 Appreciate it, Mark, appreciate it very much.

Really, 266 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.519 you know, the time spent listening to that kind of stuff. 267 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.919 They pay close attention to it, and it's a good 268 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:44.080 thing for the show, and it makes me feel good anyhow, 269 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.720 also makes me feel good when you call. Anyhow, what 270 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.519 let's see here? Pivoting over to nothing in particular except 271 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.480 the fact I saw a couple of articles about how 272 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.039 outrageously expensive it was for stuff and things to buy 273 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.519 at the Super Bowl one hundred dollars for a salad, 274 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.639 seventeen dollars for a beer like okay, And I was 275 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.399 thinking about the problem we're having with the Brown family 276 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.799 and the negotiations over the stadium improvements, and they're sort 277 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:20.000 of veiled threat to take the team and leave, okay, 278 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.480 And how much it costs to buy a beer over 279 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.799 at the stadium, And I keep thinking, well, wait a second, 280 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.639 isn't the future of football people like watching it on 281 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:31.320 their jumbo trons at home and drinking in relatively early, 282 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.240 comparatively inexpensive beer of your own choice. And a clean bathroom, 283 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.039 assuming you keep your bathroom clean at least it's not 284 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.320 a public bathroom. Food's probably better at home when you 285 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:47.679 prepared it home, so you know. And the literally insanity 286 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:53.399 the money that public money that is spent on these 287 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:57.960 privately owned football teams. Pivot over to Utah. This is 288 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.200 pretty funny Utah taxpayers, maybe, and much of the chagrin 289 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.639 of Riverton, Utah mayor trans Stags spending more than a 290 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:11.480 billion dollars to build a gondola project that'll ferry skiers 291 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:17.600 up to some elite ski resorts. Mayor tran Stags says 292 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:24.159 unfair subsidy and waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Criticize 293 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.360 the use of public funds for this massive skila project. Quote. 294 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:31.000 Government's job is not to pit winners. And losers spending 295 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.600 over one billion dollars in taxpayer funds that transport skiers 296 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.960 the two resorts does just that. In no stretch of 297 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.600 the imagination. Is that the role of taxpayers to foot 298 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:48.000 the bill to help two ski resorts? Good? Well stated Amen. 299 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.480 Apparently the Utah Department of Transportation recently approved this project 300 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.360 will build the world's largest gondola to take steers skiers 301 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.759 up to snow Bird and Alta resorts in Little Cottonwood Canyon. 302 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:11.000 Total cost one point four billion dollars in taxpayer money. 303 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:19.680 Does that make any sense? Does that sound justifiable? According 304 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.720 to Breitbart reporting, while some have defended the plan, sighting traffic, 305 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.440 congestion and environmental concerns in the canyon, the project just 306 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.119 face growing pushback from local businesses and residents who argue 307 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:34.039 it's a misuse of taxpayer funds and primarily benefits private resorts, 308 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:46.519 which it does. How does something like this even happen? Meanwhile, 309 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:50.480 Trump is going to be looking into that California railroad 310 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:56.960 boondoggle project, another multi, multi, multi, multi billion dollar project 311 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:58.599 you and I'll be paying for so they can have 312 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.519 a QW two train that takes people from point A 313 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.680 to point B, and really the first line of that 314 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.759 particular segment we can talk about it later, is between 315 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.240 places that no one really wants to go back and forth. 316 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.559 Roses on the phone, take your call as soon as 317 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.200 they get back from these brief words. The days of 318 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.920 relaxing Parley, cloudy day to day high forty and overnight 319 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:27.920 low of thirty one with snow possible.

Happy Monday, three seven nine, two 329 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.640 to three talk. That's who what Roz has got to say. Roz, 330 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:05.480 thanks for calling, holding over the break there, Welcome to 331 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:06.160 the Morning Show. 332 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.920 Oh, thank you so much, Brian, and thank you for 333 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.559 taking my call. I listened to you every morning. By 334 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.319 the way, and I remember the morning, I think it 335 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.319 was last week where you wondered if anybody was listening 336 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.359 at five o'clock, and I'm always listening at five. 337 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:21.240 Thank you so much, Ros. 338 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:27.119 It's a wonderful show. In any event, I really do 339 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.240 agree with much of what Mark had to say, because 340 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.000 my first impression when I learned about the incident was that, 341 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:39.000 you know, it could be genuine, although it also could 342 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.240 be Antifa and Black Lives Matter, because you don't know 343 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:46.319 the race of these people because they're totally covered. Now. 344 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:48.440 You know my take because I talked with a friend 345 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.680 of mine at length yesterday about this, and he and 346 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.720 I are both very strong supporters of President Trump now 347 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.799 and going all the way back to twenty sixteen, so 348 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.519 he had not a ray. But I know that this 349 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:06.440 incident is having an effect on black people that I know, 350 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.480 and I can appreciate that, and I'm very sensitive to 351 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.400 that because among my family and friends there are people 352 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.839 who have been victimized, not in recent years, but decades 353 00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:20.319 back and having to flee the South because of the 354 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:24.839 threat of the clan. Now, my idea is that there 355 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.680 needs to be an investigation of these incidents because they 356 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:34.200 are proliferating, and I believe that it's incumbent on our 357 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.640 local authorities. You know, I kept thinking yesterday if Countie 358 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.039 Pillage was an office as our county prosecutor, there probably 359 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.799 already would be some kind of statement or Joe did, 360 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.079 or some kind of statement about an investigation, or maybe 361 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.039 a contact with BCI and our Attorney General in Ohio, 362 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:54.839 or even all the way up the line to the FBI. 363 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.039 And I remember during Cash Betel's hearings that you know, 364 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:02.240 he said that he wanted to get people out in 365 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.440 the field to do their job. And I think that 366 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:10.160 an investigation would serve two valuable purposes. One if it 367 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.559 is authentic. These two organizations have records of being deadly 368 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.519 terrorist organizations, and I find it very, very difficult to 369 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.480 dismiss what they have done because they've been strategic in 370 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:27.279 doing their demonstrations, first near Lincoln Heights, which is the 371 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:32.720 largest predominantly African American municipality north of the Mason Dixon line. 372 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.480 And then they have been strategic in terms of the 373 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:40.200 Shepherd Avenue location that Mark was talking about. There is 374 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.480 a prominent African American church in the city of Cincinnati, 375 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.880 and also one in Lincoln Heights. And I don't know 376 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.160 what end of shepherds that Mark was talking about, but 377 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.200 all of this is very chilling to me. If it 378 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.400 is fraud, and if it is pantomime, then it's not 379 00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.240 good for the president or the country. And where we 380 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.839 at the being so divided right now, Well, I ask. 381 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.720 You this, I'm just kind of curious in terms of investigation, 382 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.720 what what would be your hope, what type of investigation, 383 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.680 what would the purpose of the investigation people. 384 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.799 Are and what and they need to be monitored because 385 00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:20.599 we are an open cary state and I do support 386 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.000 the Second Amendments, but there are people who are going 387 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:28.559 to push back against this threat, whether it's real or proceived, 388 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:31.640 and so I don't know. I'm not an attorney, so 389 00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:34.480 I don't know what the limits are. But there needs 390 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.839 to be a contact by our elected officials to say this, 391 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.440 and I think that that I don't know that the 392 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.680 sheriff has said anything about the security of our citizens, 393 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.400 our fellow citizens in Hamilton County who live in Lincoln 394 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.680 Heights or who live in predominantly African American areas like Woodlawn. 395 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.119 But something needs to be done, because you know, if 396 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:02.440 we can be outraged about terror across the ocean called 397 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.039 hamas as I have been since October seventh, and even 398 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.240 before then October seventh of twenty twenty three. We need 399 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:14.279 to be outraged about real or play acting terrorists, and 400 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.559 actually Antifa and BLM, as far as I'm concerned, they 401 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:23.599 are terrorists organizations because they've burned down Minneapolis and they 402 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:28.319 have protested violently. So we need an investigation to find 403 00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.440 out who these people really are. If they are bona 404 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:36.640 fide members of the Klan and the Neo Nazi Party, 405 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.119 they need to be investigated. And you know, if you 406 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:44.119 can send hundreds of innocent people to jail for months 407 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:50.119 on end at the Capitol, then I think that this 408 00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.680 is something that needs to be investigated to expose whether 409 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.759 they're real or authentic. And I think the benefits would 410 00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:59.960 be great for the President and for the conservative movement 411 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.000 and the Republican Party, and I think it's really past 412 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.279 time for our leadership to really speak out. I think 413 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:11.160 that Mayor Purevolve was contacted by CNN and got a statement, 414 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.319 but I'd like to know what the mayor of Lincoln 415 00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.039 Heights and Woodland have to say and what our law 416 00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:22.079 enforcement people have to say county wide, and our new 417 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.519 prosecutor what she has to say, and go right up 418 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:31.880 the line to the Bureau of BCI at the state 419 00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:35.640 level and the FBI, because I remember as a child 420 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.160 the FBI going down South after the murders of civil 421 00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:42.279 rights workers to investigate these organizations. 422 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.160 See, and here's you got a lot to unpackage on this. 423 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.759 First off, anytime there is criminal behavior by any group, 424 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.440 whether it's the Nazis or the BLM, if they're burning things, 425 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.160 breaking things, harming people, than those are acts of criminal 426 00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.680 behavior which can be investigated and prosecuted. Now, as to 427 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.640 the Azis, if they are if they weren't Nazis and 428 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:06.039 they were fake actors, didn't they invite themselves to perhaps 429 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.279 have an entire community of black people attack them and 430 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.440 give them the beatdown that they might deserve because they 431 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.680 embraced Nazism, But then backing away from that just because 432 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.519 you expouse Nazism. I mean, it's we live in a 433 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.599 country with free speech. If you want to be an 434 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.000 idiot and voice your opinion in support of racism, you're 435 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.519 going to reveal yourself to be the idiot that you are. 436 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.960 That's what the that's what the exact point of free 437 00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.920 speech is. Free speech you can expouse the dumbest things ever, 438 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.079 and the public will judge you accordingly, and you're not 439 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.119 going to get a whole lot of people supporting your 440 00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:45.440 stupidity when you talk out loud. It's one of the 441 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.880 reasons they probably covered their face, assuming they were real Nazis, 442 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.279 they didn't want to reveal to the world who they 443 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.000 actually are. They may have jobs and they would lose 444 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.559 them if they're out expousing racism. I mean, the whole 445 00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:00.640 thing is it's just you know. I got to also 446 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:02.799 point out one of the most profound support of the 447 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.519 free speech was in fact a free speech opinion in 448 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:08.839 the Supreme Court of the United States of America, which 449 00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.160 upheld the rights of Nazis to go out and say 450 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.880 the stuff that they say. I mean, that's the good 451 00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.880 thing about free speech. You know where the idiots are. 452 00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.200 So I don't know what's to investigate. I don't know, 453 00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:24.400 and I haven't heard anything about them engaging in criminal behavior. 454 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:28.359 That you might fear the Nazis if they are because 455 00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:32.079 of their ideology. I understand the fear and the concern 456 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:34.799 someone of the black community might have for them. But 457 00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:40.759 twelve or thirteen, I think you outnumber them like a 458 00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:43.160 gazillion to one, and you know what, you'd have the 459 00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:47.519 support of the vast majority of every citizen in the 460 00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:51.680 United States of America in your efforts to well tell 461 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:56.799 them they're morons and their ideology is stupid. But I 462 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.319 personally have political opinions. Everybody knows in Ro's I can't 463 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:04.920 thank you for listening to the show. I'm a little 464 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.400 ill libertarian and I expouse small government and the right 465 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.200 for you to decide where you want to spend your 466 00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:13.119 money and who you want to sleep with. Should I 467 00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:21.680 be investigated, I haven't committed any acts of crime. Just think, 468 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.400 you know, think about it. Five thirty eight, call into it. 469 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.519 We can further discuss this. I know it's a real 470 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:31.960 hot topic this week because of the idiots that gathered 471 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.160 on the bridge in Lincoln Heights. Stick around, be right 472 00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:36.279 back after these brief words. 473 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:41.079 This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station in today's market. 474 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.640 About krcity Talk station, and try to have a happy Monday. 475 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.480 Before I get stuck and stupid. Going to go over 476 00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:48.799 to the phone. It's got Dennis on the phone. Dennis, 477 00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.119 thanks for calling this morning, Welcome in the Morning show. 478 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:55.920 Yeah, I work in trucking in the Cincinnati area and 479 00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.720 we're watching on the camera. One of our drivers told 480 00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:02.839 us about this over effort, and I would about guarantee 481 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:08.039 about ninety five percent that those quote unquote Nazis, if 482 00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:10.079 you're following them back to where they were coming from, 483 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:14.160 probably the FBI building over off on the guvernment, probably 484 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.559 the holdovers that don't want to get fired by cash. 485 00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:18.119 To tell. 486 00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.720 Honest, leave that sit out there, Dennis. It's easy for 487 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:25.880 people to come up with conclusions like that given the 488 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.160 stuff that we actually know has happened at the FBI 489 00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.359 and other of our government agencies. Yeah, I mean it 490 00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:36.279 lends itself to create to come up with these hypotheses, 491 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:39.920 these theories. These some say conspiracy theories, some say pattern 492 00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:43.680 of observations. Yeah, no one knows. And you know what's 493 00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:47.920 with the whole idea of completely covering and masking oneself 494 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:51.519 truly truly believe in something. Aren't you able to just 495 00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:55.160 go out into the world unmasked and voice your opinion. 496 00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:59.440 We got bad actors on all sides of the ledger. 497 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.960 They have to cover themselves up completely all my god, 498 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:11.359 facial recognition software is literally everywhere. Cameras are literally everywhere. Anyhow, 499 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:13.440 I'd just like to observe that. You know, if you 500 00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.200 want to walk into a neighborhood like Lincoln Heights waving 501 00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:20.400 a Nazi flag and talking about white supremacy, I think 502 00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:25.799 you might invite a beat down. And honestly, I think 503 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.519 I mean and Joe Strecker did say they were engaged 504 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.480 in criminal activity. Said the following day apparently they tore 505 00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.880 down some signs that people had placed up talking about 506 00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:38.519 damage cars. That was it. I did not see that 507 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:40.599 in the news. Thank you Joe Strecker for paying closer 508 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.559 attention to what's going on locally than I have been. 509 00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:50.000 But damaging cars equal arrest. Standing around screaming nonsense about 510 00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.680 your political ideology is part of free speech. Read your 511 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:55.920 First Amendment and look at the case law supporting it. 512 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:01.279 Not to say their message is welcome, but opinions are 513 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:08.039 like sphincters. Everybody's got one. Let's see here real quick, 514 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:09.960 here I get to the one of the stackers. Stupid. 515 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.599 You can call in and chime in. I love to 516 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.440 hear from you. Left winging, vampire obsessed after school program 517 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:19.279 teacher accused of sexually abusing two young girls for years 518 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:21.359 at a Harlem school in New York and filming the 519 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:23.920 child sexual abuse material. According to the new lawsuit report 520 00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.759 of the New York Post, Amen, twenty six year old 521 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:31.359 Miles McNeil, after school program teacher whose online alter ego 522 00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:39.720 pushed communist propaganda and fetishized vampires if that's not enough, 523 00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:44.319 allegedly touched and photographed young students naked bodies, had them 524 00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:47.640 assume sexual position, and showed them pictures of the genitalia 525 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:50.839 of other kids while threatening them to stay silent, according 526 00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:54.519 to victims and core papers. Lawsuit further alleged the staff 527 00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:56.920 and supervisors at Public School one eighty five in this 528 00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.279 after school program failed to follow rules requiring staff to 529 00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.079 never be alone with children for empty classrooms to remain locked. 530 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.480 They alleged these failures enabled McNeil to abuse the young 531 00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:11.599 girls for three years. Complaint also alleges the administrators didn't 532 00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:14.559 properly punish McNeil after he was discovered by another staffer 533 00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.400 alone in an empty classroom with a second grader straddling 534 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:26.640 his lap. McNeil reportedly suspended for a one day. Child's 535 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:31.920 father was told that his child was at fault. I 536 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.640 can't believe I just read those words. The child was 537 00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:39.480 at fault. Arrested February first, last year. Charge was sexual 538 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:42.160 abusing an eight year old girl. Court document's alleged police 539 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:46.279 found fifty two electronic devices in his possession. He pleaded 540 00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:48.640 not go to the criminal charges posted. Bail. Case is 541 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:55.160 still pending. One of the girls reportedly suicidal.

Joe provided me with an update, and 650 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.599 I guess at Local twelve hit a little more information 651 00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:11.679 than I was aware of. After that neo Nazi group 652 00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:16.239 or alleged neo Nazi group was up in Lincoln Heights 653 00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:20.239 on the bridge. You know, idiots doing idiot things because 654 00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:21.960 they're idiots. Of course, a lot of people don't believe 655 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.159 they really were Neo Nazis. You do have an open 656 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:28.360 carry law in Ohio, and it doesn't matter what political 657 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:31.039 affiliation you are, You're allowed to carry open And I 658 00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:33.519 know some people don't like that. And personally, as a 659 00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:36.320 huge Second Amendment fan and someone who gets great thrills 660 00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.880 out of going to the gun range and shooting paper 661 00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:48.320 or steel targets or clay pigeons, I don't like open carry. 662 00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:53.239 I don't, but you can have it. Of course, Supreme 663 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:55.239 Courts on record saying even if you are a Nazi, 664 00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:58.000 you can go out and spew Nazi crap to the world, 665 00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:00.840 which is I always loved the point out. That's the 666 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:08.119 good thing about free speech. You know who the idiots are. Anyway, 667 00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:11.360 some local guy apparently the following day, was trying to 668 00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:14.480 spread the message of love, countering the message of hate 669 00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:20.559 obviously promoted by the neo Nazis, if they were Last 670 00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:22.800 Name's bone cutter, which I thought was rather interesting. So 671 00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.119 you can only fight hate with love. So I felt 672 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:26.599 like it was important of the message out in place 673 00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.679 where Lincoln Heights, where I know is feeling scared, putting 674 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:35.840 up love signs, promoting love, promoting unity. Concerned citizen boarded 675 00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.639 into the group that their cars were being damaged. Now 676 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:42.679 here's where crime comes in. You can't arrest people for 677 00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:44.880 their idiot's speech, but you sure can arrest them if 678 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:48.199 they're committing damage to automobiles. He said, he was warned. 679 00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:51.079 He said, Hey, they're damaging you guys cars. They're smashing windows, 680 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.719 he said. He continued to hang the signs. He discovered 681 00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:55.920 that his SUV and another couple vehicles that had their 682 00:40:55.960 --> 00:41:00.320 cars smashed by rocks. Apparently this neat so called neo 683 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:04.119 Nazi group arrived in a U haul on Friday, and 684 00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:06.639 apparently a U haul was seen near the vehicles where 685 00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:09.280 the vandalism occurs. Was it the same one? Somebody got 686 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:15.000 a license plate down, that'd be a helpful piece of 687 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:18.679 information for law enforcement, the license plate of the obviously 688 00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:21.239 rented vehicle to be able to track it down figure 689 00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:23.360 out who rented it. That would answer a lot of 690 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:28.320 questions that are spiraling around out there. So they got 691 00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.480 back to the parking lot, he found dozens of Lincoln 692 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.800 Heights residents and thank God for them giving their support. 693 00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.079 He said, they were taping up my windows, vacuuming out 694 00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:37.440 my car where the glass was broken, giving me hugs. 695 00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.639 I just couldn't say enough about that community. He said, 696 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:47.360 that's family. And apparently, during the initial Neo Nazi rally 697 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:49.320 on Friday, and this was something I wasn't aware of, 698 00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:53.320 the Lincoln Heights residence demanded the group leave and broke 699 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:56.679 through law enforcement barricades and set fire to one of 700 00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:59.800 the Neo Nazis flag, forcing the Neo Nazis to depart, 701 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:03.480 which is the kind of reaction I would expect from 702 00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.679 the residents of Lincoln Heights if they're invaded by a 703 00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:07.039 bunch of not well, it was even a bunch of 704 00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:10.320 Nazis with twelve or thirteen of them, which, as I 705 00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:12.920 mentioned in the last hour, was probably every single one 706 00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:17.199 if they were Nazis, every single one that actually exists. 707 00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:28.480 They're idiots. Their philosophy is batcrap insane. I have an 708 00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:32.599 entire stack of failure in front of me, and it 709 00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:35.960 all relates to green projects. Let's start with the ev buses. 710 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.960 Biden administration awarded some Canadian electric bus company called Lion 711 00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:44.880 Electric one hundred and sixty million dollars of your hard 712 00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:48.199 earned taxpayer money to manufacture hundreds of battery powered buses 713 00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:51.159 for school districts across this great Lion of Bars part 714 00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:56.519 of its climate agenda. Sorry, Lion initiated bankruptcy, proceeding laid 715 00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:59.159 off almost all of its employees, the ones that at 716 00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:03.400 least were building the buses, and stopped its manufacturing operations. Hmmm, 717 00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.599 leaving dozens of school districts questioning whether they're going to 718 00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.199 receive the buses that the Biden administration promised them. I 719 00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:12.480 think the answers pretty much know. Lyon has yet to 720 00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:16.280 deliver ninety five million dollars worth of electric buses to 721 00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:19.280 fifty five districts that were promised it across the country. 722 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:25.119 Don Wallace, superintendent of Ohio Valley School District in Adams County. 723 00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:28.159 At this time, we were working through the proper channels 724 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:32.199 and keeping our attorneys abreast of the situation. They ordered 725 00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:35.079 buses from Lyon, and they said, no buses have been 726 00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:37.320 delivered to our district. Were on hold, and you're going 727 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:40.079 to stay on hold. Too, because the company went belly 728 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:45.519 up sort of points out, raising questions about whether the 729 00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:48.599 recipients of literally billions and billions of dollars of your 730 00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:57.440 money on green spending were vetted properly hmm, or whether 731 00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:01.119 federal officials looked the other way when doing out funds 732 00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:06.239 to Lion, which had been apparently struggling financially for years. 733 00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:09.280 And of course, green energy companies like Line dependent on 734 00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:13.280 government funding and fail even after winning lucrative government contracts. 735 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:18.480 Remember Soleindra. Yeah, there's a great illustration of it. Between 736 00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:21.880 October twenty two and May twenty four, the Biden administration 737 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:23.960 awarded Lion a total of one hundred and five one 738 00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.320 hundred nine fifty nine million dollars, which was supposed to 739 00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:31.840 manufacture four hundred and thirty five bus buses. This under 740 00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:36.519 the EPA's five billion with a Big Clean School Bus program. 741 00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:42.639 Lyon the third largest beneficiary of the program created by 742 00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.880 Democrats twenty twenty one Infrastructure Bill. Do you remember that one? 743 00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.920 Don't you? Lyon got the funding became Biden administration's favorite 744 00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.320 while struggling to turn a profit. You had took in 745 00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:57.000 millions of dollars of loans less than two weeks before 746 00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:01.559 the EPA gave Yan eighty two point seven million dollars. 747 00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:05.239 That was in October. At twenty two, the company reported 748 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.320 it to investors that had lost seventeen point two million 749 00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:13.320 dollars in the prior three months alone. Since twenty twenty 750 00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:19.360 lions losses three hundred and one point six million dollars 751 00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.840 get a load of its stock price. Since January twenty 752 00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:26.920 twenty one, the stock price went from thirty three dollars 753 00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:38.880 and forty eight cents per share to eight cents. Apparently, 754 00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:41.800 the company stopped reporting at share price on its website 755 00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:46.679 back in December, and they said, I think the free 756 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:52.039 beacon on this one. Give credit where credits due. Lion 757 00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.039 got a slap on the risk from the Securities Exchange 758 00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:58.400 Commission last year after misreporting several key figures. March twenty 759 00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:01.079 twenty four, group of investors hit Line with a class 760 00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:04.199 action lawsuit, ledging the company withheld the truth about supply 761 00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:10.760 chain problems and misled investors using grossly unrealistic financial projections. 762 00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:14.119 Amid the struggles, though the company assured investors during a 763 00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:19.159 November earnings call, I love this statement. It remained quote 764 00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:28.280 well positioned to benefit from continued strong regulatories tailwinds. Close 765 00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.800 quote referencing the clean school bus program in the EPA's 766 00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.960 three billion dollar Clean Port Program regulatory tail ones. You 767 00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:38.559 know what that means. We're in good financial shape because 768 00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:41.440 the government is dolling out moneys to our failed company 769 00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:48.280 thanks to regulations which if regulations did not exist, this 770 00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:52.119 company wouldn't have in a dime, would never have made 771 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:55.960 any money in the first place. We're supporting failed entities, 772 00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:59.639 failed institutions, and propping up businesses that produced products that 773 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:03.280 know every one wants to buy in a real world. 774 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.840 A month after that November earnings call, that's when Line 775 00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:15.480 filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada. They started a bankruptcy 776 00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:18.239 proceedings in an Illinois federal court weeks after. It laid 777 00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:22.519 off all of its employees, with the exception of one 778 00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:24.960 hundred and fifty of them who were tasked with customer 779 00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:29.519 service and maintenance duties. They halted production at their nine 780 00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:34.559 hundred thousand square foot manufacturing facility in Joliet, Illinois, opened 781 00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:39.559 only eighteen months earlier, amid a huge ceremony including Governor JB. 782 00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:48.920 Prinzker's Senator Dick Durban and Tammy Duckworth, at which Pritzker 783 00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:51.119 said of the ceremony, the future of Illinois relies on 784 00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:54.199 dependable clean energy jobs. Local officials said that plant would 785 00:47:54.239 --> 00:48:01.280 bring fourteen hundred jobs to the reason and not. That's 786 00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:04.320 just one of about ten articles I have on failed 787 00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:13.679 green energy products projects rather failed billions. And you know, 788 00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:17.480 all of this is unrelated to the work that this 789 00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.039 DOGE department is doing. And if I hear another person 790 00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:24.079 complain about Elon Musk not elected in not explaining doctor 791 00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:28.599 Fauci wasn't elected or wasn't elected, this is the government 792 00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:32.719 is filled with unelected officials and maybe therein lies the problem. 793 00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:36.000 Twenty two to three Route forty two between Mason eleven 794 00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:38.880 has a Friday night date night every week. I love 795 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:43.039 this concept because I, uh, when I was a single man. Yeah, 796 00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:47.119 I did take dates to the range, and I'm recommending 797 00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:49.519 you do it anyway. Two people shoot for an hour 798 00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:51.960 for a twenty one dollars lane fee. Valentine's Day on 799 00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:55.360 Friday evening makes it perfect, so don't stress about your plans. 800 00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.119 Go to twenty two to three dot com and click 801 00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:00.320 on the Valentine's Day link right in the homepage.

This is Ashley can at a from 808 00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:20.119 the Ben and Ashley I six twenty fifty five Krcity 809 00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:22.400 talk station in five one, three, seven, four nine fifty 810 00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:24.639 eight hundred eight two three talking to go straight to 811 00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:26.960 the phone and welcome all callers, and we'll go in 812 00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:29.639 the order in which they'll receive, which means Bobby is first. Bobby, 813 00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:32.519 welcome to the show, my brother. 814 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:35.679 A simple thank you can't express our true feelings with 815 00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:40.079 appreciation you carring that torture, freedom, high and bride every day. 816 00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:40.480 My brother. 817 00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:43.119 Thanks man. I do appreciate the kind words. 818 00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:44.360 Hey. 819 00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:48.159 I believe in in peaceful protest. But these boys from 820 00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:52.639 California and Tennessee driving these vehicles down there, and they 821 00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:55.719 just don't have any experience. They need to get us 822 00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:59.000 some glowed sticks. Go down the East Price Hill about 823 00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:02.079 mid nine, start looking down the sidewalks. That is a 824 00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:03.559 good piece or protest. 825 00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:08.159 You talk about the Nazis whatever. 826 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:08.840 Do you think they were? 827 00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.599 But they were not Caucasian wrapped up in those outfits were. 828 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:15.760 I don't know. I did not see them personally. I 829 00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:17.639 just saw the overhead view and it looked like there 830 00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:19.960 was maybe twelve or thirteen of them, which is I've 831 00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.920 pointed out several times this morning probably represents the entire 832 00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:27.599 quantity of clan members in the country, and they cover 833 00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.280 themselves up completely. Why is that? You know, are they 834 00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:32.760 afraid to reveal who they are and the message that 835 00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:36.639 they're spreading. They leave people to invite speculation as to 836 00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:39.840 whether they're really Nazis or not. I mean, I don't know. 837 00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:41.519 You know, the only time I've ever heard of a 838 00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:45.880 black Nazi is that Dave Chappelle comedy routine, the blind 839 00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:48.519 guy who's black who hates Black people. I mean, it 840 00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:50.840 was just it was side splittingly funny. He got a 841 00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:54.199 little controversy over it, but he made some pretty comedic 842 00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:57.239 points about it. But beyond that, they typically, at least 843 00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:00.880 I've understood him, a bunch of stupid, racist white people. 844 00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:03.199 So why would you cover yourself up if you don't 845 00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:05.320 really truly embrace them believe in your message. How come 846 00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:07.440 you're not out in public talking about it more often? 847 00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:13.440 Because no one embraces your message or or their plants 848 00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:17.000 designed to stir the pot of division. And somehow Donald 849 00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:20.639 Trump gets blamed for that little demonstration. I mean, what 850 00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:22.039 the hell is that all about? 851 00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:23.880 Go? 852 00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:30.199 Yeah, Trump put them there? What God, Bobby, thank you 853 00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:32.800 for helping me again further reveal the absurdity of this 854 00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:35.559 entire situation. But you know what, they had a big 855 00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.519 anti rally over faith leaders in Lincoln Heights. I got 856 00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:41.519 a whole bunch of people together to protest the Nazis. 857 00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:45.679 And fine, I welcome that that spread the message of 858 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:50.480 love exactly, but maybe maybe just raise a jaundiced eye 859 00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:53.119 of skepticism that those were really Nazis showing up in 860 00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:58.320 your neighborhood. And how I mean, maybe you can say, yes, 861 00:51:58.360 --> 00:52:00.559 they had to be Nazis, because first off, only Nazis 862 00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:05.159 would embrace that stupid concept of a philosophy. It will 863 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:08.199 be dumb enough to go into the most predominantly black 864 00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:12.559 neighborhood that exists in the greater Cincinnati area. Thirteen of 865 00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:18.840 them or twelve of them outnumbered much potential beat down perhaps, 866 00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.519 And you know, juries don't have to convict you, like 867 00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:26.280 if you beat down a Nazi and you were tried 868 00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:29.679 for beating down a Nazi. I mean, the jury doesn't 869 00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:32.719 have to convict you. They can just say, you know what, no, 870 00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:37.679 how about not guilty, Mississippi James. Good to hear from you, man, 871 00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:41.599 Welcome back to the Morning Show. Hey, good morning, brother Brian. 872 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.679 No Lincoln, Heke got some pressure issues out there. But 873 00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:49.519 this is a question that I've been pondering the last 874 00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:54.159 couple of weeks now, speaking of de firm in action, 875 00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:58.679 consit to create all those programs that was established for 876 00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:02.639 a certain reason, Adam beginning to ask the question do 877 00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:06.119 you think they was necessary? And I'll tell you why. 878 00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:08.320 I expect portion after I hear you am. 879 00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:13.360 No, I don't. I've been regularly pointing out because I'm 880 00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:16.199 coming to grips with my own mortality lately, Mississippi James, 881 00:53:16.440 --> 00:53:18.800 coming up on sixty years old in September. While we're 882 00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:20.880 nine months away from that, I still feel like it's 883 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:25.800 creeping up. But in my existence, I have encountered racism. 884 00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:28.480 But you know what, over my entire life, during my 885 00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:36.400 working career, I have worked with many people of varying backgrounds, ethnicities, colors, creeds, races, 886 00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:39.679 the whole nine yards. I have worked with extraordinary, competent 887 00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:42.280 people of color. I never looked down on them, thought 888 00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:45.440 anything about it. Everything seemed to be working on Fine. 889 00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:47.760 I've worked. I have lived in states that were you know, 890 00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:51.320 had senators that were black and Asian, and we've had 891 00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:53.760 governors and Ken Blackwell was the mayor of the city 892 00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:57.880 of Cincinnati in nineteen eighty. I mean, I haven't I 893 00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:00.719 just know, I don't think DEI mean the problem with 894 00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:05.840 DII is the equity part diversity cool inclusion. Fine, yeah, 895 00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:08.320 I don't care what sexuality somebody is. I want the 896 00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:11.480 best and brightest. I want merit to rule the day. 897 00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:15.159 Equity is the antithesis of merit. It's when you hire 898 00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:20.400 people based upon some racial checkbox or some sexual checkbox, 899 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:22.920 not because they're the best in the group of people 900 00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.920 applying for the job, but only because they fit some 901 00:54:26.719 --> 00:54:29.960 social expectation created by a bunch of I don't know 902 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:36.800 sociologists in college. I have no idea your your comments. 903 00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:38.559 Okay, and it's come out of you know, seeing these 904 00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:43.199 growing up and seeing these white only signs are either 905 00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:44.679 colored waiting area. 906 00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:46.920 Yeah, you know, Jim Crow and. 907 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:50.360 That stuff put it there. So a lot of program 908 00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:53.039 prevented people from moving forward. 909 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:56.519 Yeah, but sixty four Civil Rights Act ended all of that. 910 00:54:56.960 --> 00:55:01.480 Litigation ended all of that. It is absolutely outright illegal 911 00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:05.000 to discriminate or say whites only and serve only white 912 00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:07.559 people or forced black people to sit in the back 913 00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:08.119 of the bus. 914 00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:12.639 So that was a part of it. Yeah, you know, 915 00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:17.199 it ended on the leglation side. Then you had to 916 00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:20.039 do a physical part to make it better. 917 00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:23.440 The Civil War was the original act of defiance, and 918 00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:25.559 a lot of white people fought for the liberation and 919 00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:29.119 freedom of slaves in the South. That's where it starts. 920 00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.639 But it takes time to change the hearts and minds 921 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:33.840 of people. And that's when Jim crowch showed up and 922 00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:37.559 you started having laws enacted locally that ultimately were overturned 923 00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:39.480 by the Supreme Court of the United States of America 924 00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:42.159 because they were fundamentally at odds with the Fourteenth Amendment 925 00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:45.880 and other amendments the United States Constitution. I mean time 926 00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:49.400 changes hearts and minds, and I appreciate and embrace the 927 00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:52.280 efforts of folks like doctor Martin Luther King Junior. But 928 00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:56.480 even he was against equity, content of character, not color 929 00:55:56.519 --> 00:56:01.559 of skin. So over time change hearts and minds, and 930 00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:03.559 I'm part of that group of people whose hearts and 931 00:56:03.559 --> 00:56:06.000 minds were changed over time. I didn't grow up in 932 00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:08.480 a racist environment. I didn't grow up in a family 933 00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:12.000 that said black people were somehow inferior to anybody else. 934 00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:14.400 I grew up in a household that said, get your 935 00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:18.480 butt into school and study and learn something so you 936 00:56:18.519 --> 00:56:24.840 can eat and pay for yourself. Thankfully it worked out, 937 00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.800 I've always said many times, and here it comes yet again. 938 00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:31.199 The greatest gift my parents gave me after the existence 939 00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:36.440 my existence life was their insistence that I get an education. 940 00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:42.000 Appreciate your call, James, always do six twenty fifty five krs. 941 00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:44.079 The talk station looks like I got Gary and Mark online. 942 00:56:44.119 --> 00:56:45.679 Hang on, guys, we'll get to you just a second. 943 00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.360 First Foreign Exchange, Westchester.

Does your Tesla ever need service? 953 00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:18.639 I don't know how those things work anyway. They service 954 00:57:18.719 --> 00:57:21.639 them at Foreign Exchange.

I've seen these 972 00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:15.039 guys around, and you know, it just strikes me very 973 00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:19.320 obviously that most conservatives I know are always fighting the 974 00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:23.679 battle of the bulls. If these guys were skinny, athletic looking, 975 00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:26.880 you know, I'm thinking they could have gone to you know, 976 00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:30.840 back to the FBI. I mean, you know, just saying that, 977 00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:34.480 you know, did I say that out well? 978 00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:38.960 And Gary, Gary, you'd believe they're real neo Nazis if 979 00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:40.880 they were fat? Is that is? 980 00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:41.039 That? 981 00:58:41.159 --> 00:58:42.000 Is that the takeaway? 982 00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:48.960 Well, no, I'm saying if they were conservatives, real real conservatives, 983 00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:50.039 they would have been fat. 984 00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:50.960 That's what I'm saying. 985 00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:52.559 Most of them have. 986 00:58:53.079 --> 00:58:56.199 They have a tendency to fight the battle of the bulls. Really, 987 00:58:56.599 --> 00:58:59.320 you know, I know, I fight it myself, you know. 988 00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:01.760 Well, I'm you know, I'm glad we could find some 989 00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:07.119 levity in this controversial subject. Gary, and I say that honestly, honestly, 990 00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:14.800 maybe they were on ozepic. Jeff, Welcome to the show. 991 00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:18.000 Happy Monday morning, Brian. 992 00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:22.119 I ended up I had no interest in the Super 993 00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:24.320 Bowl last night, but my daughter wanted to watch it, 994 00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:26.679 so I ended up watching a little bit of it 995 00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:29.440 before I put her to bed, ended up seeing the 996 00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:33.280 halftime show, and I was actually a little bit happy 997 00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:36.519 with the halftime show with what looked like the message 998 00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:41.000 was all red, white and blue, and he looked very patriotic. Yeah, 999 00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:44.559 but and looking at it, I'm just curious it was 1000 00:59:44.599 --> 00:59:46.840 intended to be racist because I didn't see a single 1001 00:59:46.840 --> 00:59:47.920 white person performing. 1002 00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:53.559 Hmm. Well, I could be wrong, and I don't know, 1003 00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:56.039 and I can't comment on it because as soon as 1004 00:59:56.079 --> 00:59:59.239 the after the two minute warning in the first half, 1005 00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:03.559 I packed up went to bed. Thankfully, the Eagles were ahead, 1006 01:00:03.599 --> 01:00:05.360 and when I woke up this morning, I found they 1007 01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:10.119 had clobbered about It's forty to twenty two. As to 1008 01:00:10.159 --> 01:00:12.519 the halftime show, Jess Drecker said his kids liked it, 1009 01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:15.880 but he didn't understand it. I've also seen regular cost 1010 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:18.159 several comments online and I don't know whether this is 1011 01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:21.000 true or not that one of the acts actually used 1012 01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:26.119 the N word in singing a song. Oh there was 1013 01:00:26.159 --> 01:00:28.960 only one act, Okay, well, see Joe. I don't know. 1014 01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:32.239 I know there's more than one person involved in the 1015 01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:37.360 production of the halftime thing. I anyway, draw your own conclusions. 1016 01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:40.239 Appreciate the call, Jeff, I do six thirty five mark 1017 01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:43.320 if you don't mind holding on your next five one, three, seven, four, nine, 1018 01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:45.719 fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk Every 1019 01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:47.360 Federal Credit Union a better way to bank.

Well, the reason for my call is 1055 01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:27.880 uh I just wanted to give a shout out to 1056 01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:31.719 the VA and uh I was back in the fall. 1057 01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:36.400 My primary care noticed that my PSA levels were starting 1058 01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:39.760 to elevate, and uh, so he ordered an MRI and 1059 01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:44.000 then unfortunately, uh came down with cross day cancer. So 1060 01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:48.119 I mean, I followed your recommendations along a couple other 1061 01:02:48.679 --> 01:02:52.000 you know, tender care, fireplaces, stoves, a free group. But 1062 01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:54.679 you know, AC, I'm not going to be doing OEC. 1063 01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:58.840 But my care at the VA has been phenomenal good. 1064 01:02:58.920 --> 01:03:04.239 Uh MRI, MRI.

So everybody that you know you're listening audience, 1067 01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:14.239 if you work at the VA, you. 1068 01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:14.960 Guys are awesome. 1069 01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:15.840 You know. 1070 01:03:16.119 --> 01:03:19.320 I am so pleased now you you know they got 1071 01:03:19.320 --> 01:03:21.280 ahead it. You got on this right away because you're 1072 01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:25.960 watching your PSA levels. Yeah, my doctor neff over at 1073 01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:29.480 Claremont County. Good well and see. And that's words of 1074 01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:31.880 encouragement to other listeners out there to stay on top 1075 01:03:31.960 --> 01:03:34.079 of that, because you can get ahead and you can 1076 01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:36.800 beat prostate cancer if you catch it early enough before 1077 01:03:36.800 --> 01:03:39.440 it metastasizes them before it gets in. I mean, Lord, 1078 01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:42.920 almighty man, I'm praying for you, but and I can't 1079 01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:45.280 I am so pleased you're getting good care of the VA. 1080 01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:47.199 That's kind of what I expect from what I hear 1081 01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:49.400 from my listeners. Now, obviously there are bumps in the 1082 01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:51.559 road from time to time, but you know that you're 1083 01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:54.079 getting really good quality care. I mean, you know, that's 1084 01:03:54.119 --> 01:03:58.440 that's that's the final analysis point there, right right right. 1085 01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:01.400 I don't notice too, they don't you know, they might 1086 01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:04.280 have something personal going on in their life and stuff 1087 01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:06.400 like that, they're having a bad day, but it never 1088 01:04:06.480 --> 01:04:10.519 reflects on their care for the veterans. I have never 1089 01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:17.840 encountered a rude you know, nurse doctor, just volunteers. 1090 01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:20.880 So I just want to let you know I'm keep 1091 01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:22.079 you updated, Im. 1092 01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:24.800 How end, I'm really happy for you, and I'll pray 1093 01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:26.800 for you, and I'm glad you got out ahead of 1094 01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:29.320 this thing. And I'm very confident with you know what 1095 01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:32.119 we've got going on in terms of cancer research and treatments, 1096 01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:34.280 that you're going to kick its butt. And I think 1097 01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:39.559 we can all collectively agree cancer sucks, right, Jim Keefer. Yeah, Yeah, Amen, 1098 01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:42.880 Thanks Mark, God love you and best of health you. 1099 01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:45.119 Let's see what Linda's got this morning. Linda, thanks for calling. 1100 01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:46.800 Welcome to the fifty five RC Morning Show. 1101 01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:48.880 Let's all pray for him. 1102 01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:49.320 Amen. 1103 01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:53.480 I just wanted to know if you remember when Obama 1104 01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:56.719 first came into office, all of a sudden, they were 1105 01:04:56.840 --> 01:05:00.559 giving out free phones to all these people. Some girls 1106 01:05:00.559 --> 01:05:03.000 stood there and said, look what I got. She was 1107 01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:06.960 so excited, and they said, well, where did the money 1108 01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:09.639 come from? And she said, I don't know. It came 1109 01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:14.400 from Obama's stash somewhere. And my husband the other night said, 1110 01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:19.119 guess what, we just found Obama's stash. That's all I wanted. 1111 01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:22.760 Elon Musk has figured it out for all of us. 1112 01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:27.960 Linda unelected it. Oh my god, he's not. Gonnacted said 1113 01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:34.199 like everybody about every other person in government who's unelected. Man, 1114 01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:36.159 he's sparreting out all kinds of stuff. I love this 1115 01:05:36.199 --> 01:05:39.480 one real quick. Here I go over to the DOGE 1116 01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:42.559 outlined the list of what he called, in his words, 1117 01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:46.960 super obvious changes that Doge plans to make at the 1118 01:05:47.039 --> 01:05:49.360 US Treasury Department over the weekend, in spite of the 1119 01:05:49.400 --> 01:05:51.360 fact that now they've been blocked out of getting access 1120 01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:54.880 to the US Department of Treasuries documents. He said, officials 1121 01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:56.920 that Treasury are working to make the government books more 1122 01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:02.960 simple to audit, bring more accountability. Changes also require treasure 1123 01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:06.559 employees to more frequently update the congressional quote do not 1124 01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:11.760 pay close quote list highlighting fraudsters and legal fronts must said. 1125 01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:15.079 Nobody in treasury management cared enough before. I do want 1126 01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:17.639 to credit the working level people in Treasury who have 1127 01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:19.760 wanted to do this for many years but have been 1128 01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:25.559 stopped by prior management. Everything a Treasury was geared towards 1129 01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:28.960 complaint minimization. People who receive money don't complain, but people 1130 01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:32.719 who don't receive money, especially fraudsters, complain very loudly, so 1131 01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:36.880 the fraud was allowed to continue. He said. The above 1132 01:06:37.239 --> 01:06:40.599 above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, 1133 01:06:40.719 --> 01:06:46.800 longtime career government employees, not anyone from DOGE. DOGE has 1134 01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:52.800 no ability. It only is a light shiner, the sanitation 1135 01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:56.079 of light shining on things the disinfectant that is much 1136 01:06:56.159 --> 01:06:58.400 needed in government given all the fraud, waste, and abuse 1137 01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:01.639 they've uncovered in a short period of time time, he said, 1138 01:07:01.639 --> 01:07:04.920 it's ridiculous that these changes didn't exist already. Yesterday, I 1139 01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:09.239 was told that there are currently over one hundred billion 1140 01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:12.800 dollars a year of entitlement payments to individuals with no 1141 01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:17.119 SOCIS security number or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, 1142 01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:22.199 this is extremely suspicious. Stating it lightly. When I asked 1143 01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:24.280 anyone if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for 1144 01:07:24.320 --> 01:07:28.119 what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, 1145 01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:31.639 the consensus in the room was about half. So fifty 1146 01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:36.039 billion dollars a year or one billion dollars weekly. This 1147 01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:41.079 is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately. Amen. No 1148 01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:44.639 criticism came just after a federal judge blocked him and 1149 01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:48.840 the Doge group from the access to the Treasury Department systems. 1150 01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:54.320 It's an interesting timing on that, isn't it. I mean, 1151 01:07:54.360 --> 01:07:56.519 he's only been around a couple of weeks, and here's 1152 01:07:56.559 --> 01:07:59.360 one hundred billion dollars, maybe fifty billion. But I'll take 1153 01:07:59.400 --> 01:08:04.000 either one fraud wasted abuse identified almost in a moment's time, 1154 01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:07.559 one area of government. And this is all independent of 1155 01:08:07.559 --> 01:08:11.719 all the fraud wasted abuse we've discovered over at USAID. 1156 01:08:12.760 --> 01:08:16.279 And he's creeping into every area of government, coming next 1157 01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:19.439 and coming soon and welcome by the Trump administration and 1158 01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:24.439 Pete hegsat a thorough deep dive into military spending, something 1159 01:08:24.479 --> 01:08:26.920 I've been advocating for years since they failed seven or 1160 01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:32.359 eight audits. They can't even audit their own books. And 1161 01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:34.479 you know me, I love the American military, and I 1162 01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:37.000 love those veterans who proudly served their country. And I 1163 01:08:37.039 --> 01:08:41.520 support all those young people who enlisted. What will we 1164 01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:46.640 do without him? But do I support eight hundred and 1165 01:08:46.800 --> 01:08:50.800 ninety billion dollars going to America's military when we have 1166 01:08:51.079 --> 01:08:54.800 so much massive fraud, wasted abuse, or presumably so given 1167 01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:59.039 that they can't even get audited. Bring it on, Bring 1168 01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:01.800 the accounts in ring Alon Muskin. Bring a nineteen year 1169 01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:04.680 old that is smarter than everyone in the room. But 1170 01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:07.680 you love that. People complaining about nineteen year old computer 1171 01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:12.399 hacking capable individuals, code writers, they are people who are 1172 01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:14.760 capable of ferreting out this kind of thing, even at 1173 01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:19.760 that young age. What's his name, David Hogg? Joe who's 1174 01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:22.039 complaining about that the other day on the heels of 1175 01:09:22.079 --> 01:09:25.399 advocating that sixteen year olds get the voting right. Okay, 1176 01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:28.560 try to reconcile those two positions. Six forty eight fifty 1177 01:09:28.600 --> 01:09:32.039 five kc DE talk station color electric excellent electricians.

Trump's announced tariffs on China steel and aluminum 1205 01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:59.680 and surprising nobody and stayed in the obvious topic Number two, 1206 01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:02.640 ensure rates are going up, up, up and up is 1207 01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:05.119 on there three times.

And again that was 1210 01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:18.720 the day we got engaged. Smart move on my part, 1211 01:11:18.840 --> 01:11:22.000 and Paulette, I can't thank you enough for saying yes. 1212 01:11:22.920 --> 01:11:25.720 Coming up on thirty three years in June anyhow, married 1213 01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:29.239 out of my element, I'll kick my coverage and congratulations 1214 01:11:29.239 --> 01:11:30.840 of the Eagles for putting a smile on my face. 1215 01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:32.159 I had to go to bed before or I had 1216 01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:34.159 a halftime at forty twenty two. I woke up this 1217 01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:37.159 morning and found that out also, I guess Taylor Swift 1218 01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:42.239 found out that not everybody loves her. Well, how you feel, 1219 01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:45.479 you know if you you know, you sell out concerts 1220 01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:47.720 and people are willing to spend three thousand dollars or 1221 01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:50.199 whatever for a scalp ticket to get into your concert. 1222 01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:51.520 And then when you go to the Super Bowl and 1223 01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:53.159 show up and stick your head out or show up 1224 01:11:53.159 --> 01:11:56.439 on the jumbo tron, everybody booze. Donald Trump had a 1225 01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:58.840 much better experience. So apparently he got a standing ovation 1226 01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:02.119 or a man massive round of applause from the fans 1227 01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:06.039 that were there. So apparently doing something right for somebody. Ah, 1228 01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:11.720 let us see here, uh oh, I was doing these 1229 01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:15.079 energy projects and a bunch of them getting canceled. Another 1230 01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:17.880 one in New Jersey Offshore Wind Developments is out of 1231 01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:22.119 business last week, the largest of three such projects to 1232 01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:25.319 fail in spite of the fact that they got a 1233 01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:30.119 lot of tax dollars Shell Energy Giant Shell. Yes, that 1234 01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:34.039 Shell Company wrote off fifty percent stake in Atlantic Atlantic Shores, 1235 01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:39.039 taking a one billion dollar impairment. Instead of completing the 1236 01:12:39.199 --> 01:12:43.159 twenty eight hundred megawatt wind farm, New Jersey Board of 1237 01:12:43.159 --> 01:12:46.159 Public Utilities canceled its request for the wind energy provider, 1238 01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:51.960 leaving an unfinished project with no prospective customer. Now, why 1239 01:12:52.000 --> 01:12:56.399 did it fail? Well, the rate payers in the area 1240 01:12:56.439 --> 01:13:00.560 can rejoice. Atlantic Shores would have charged about three times 1241 01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:03.319 the market price for the power it generated, that, according 1242 01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:06.960 to a review by White Strand Consulting, would have raised 1243 01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:10.920 electricity rates by eleven percent for residents thirteen to fifteen 1244 01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:14.760 percent for businesses, forcing them to overpay by forty eight 1245 01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:19.239 billion dollars for the wind farms lifetime. Again, a project 1246 01:13:19.239 --> 01:13:22.800 that had no demand tax dollars, supported the concept and 1247 01:13:22.960 --> 01:13:26.960 had it moving forward, and then smarter people like Shelle decided, 1248 01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:29.319 you know what, we're not going to do this. We're 1249 01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:33.359 not going down that road. It's just an ever growing 1250 01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:37.319 pile of articles and stories about this exact same outcome 1251 01:13:37.399 --> 01:13:43.880 for these so called green energy projects.

I'm giving 1257 01:13:56.720 --> 01:13:59.680 you a fact now, Americans should know fifty five cares 1258 01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:01.159 the talk station. 1259 01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:03.359 This report is sponsored by. 1260 01:14:03.279 --> 01:14:20.720 Extra seven five had fifty five per CD talk station 1261 01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:24.199 and Happy Monday, trying to make it happy anyway, Always 1262 01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:25.880 a happy Monday for you when I see the rundown 1263 01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:28.359 includes Christopher Smithman will be on at seven twenty with 1264 01:14:28.439 --> 01:14:30.800 the smith Event, former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. 1265 01:14:31.159 --> 01:14:32.279 I don't know if I have had anything to say 1266 01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:35.279 about the so called neo Nazis that were hanging up 1267 01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:40.199 in Lincoln Heights, just obviously it got a lot of reaction, 1268 01:14:40.560 --> 01:14:44.279 and I've seen the reaction. I heard reaction from a 1269 01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:46.359 lot of my listeners this morning questioning whether those were 1270 01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:49.079 really Nazis or not. So you can't tell when someone's 1271 01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:53.159 completely covered up head to toe. And we have been 1272 01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:56.479 made aware of prior events which included people who really 1273 01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:02.600 weren't advocating what was being advocated in the protest. So 1274 01:15:02.680 --> 01:15:08.439 were they plants designed to well elicit a response. They 1275 01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:10.319 certainly got the community Lincoln Heights up, and aren't They 1276 01:15:10.359 --> 01:15:13.920 had a big counter protests, and good for them and 1277 01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:16.560 I and I've been saying all morning, you know they're 1278 01:15:16.600 --> 01:15:19.199 there if you truly believe in that ideology, I can 1279 01:15:19.279 --> 01:15:22.079 with a straight face and firm in my convictions call 1280 01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:27.920 you an idiot. Obviously not a widely embraced concept Nazism. 1281 01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:30.239 You'd have clubs and chapters all over the place. They 1282 01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:33.239 would advertise and they wouldn't be afraid to show their face. No, 1283 01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:40.039 it's an unpopular message. It's a message widely well discouraged. 1284 01:15:40.079 --> 01:15:45.800 If i'll just be light light put that lightly, and 1285 01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:48.279 I just got to observe if you're a real Nazi 1286 01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:51.920 and you want to go carrying around, uh, you know, 1287 01:15:52.399 --> 01:15:55.720 a white guy's rule kind of message in Lincoln heights, 1288 01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:59.880 be prepared to get a beat down at minimum, and 1289 01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:02.560 for the general public to applaud those they've given you 1290 01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:09.359 the beatdown. Anyhow, I'll leave it to Christopher address that 1291 01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:11.000 if he chooses to. I never know what he wants 1292 01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:13.359 to talk about. So Christopher, if you're out there, you 1293 01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:16.159 go in any direction you want five one, three, seven, 1294 01:16:16.199 --> 01:16:19.119 four nine fifty eight hundred eight two three talk top 1295 01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:22.119 five fifty on AT and T phone. Senator John Kennedy, Republican, 1296 01:16:22.199 --> 01:16:27.119 I Love of Louisiana, responding to DOGE the Department of 1297 01:16:27.119 --> 01:16:31.680 Government Efficiencies revelation of what usaid was spent on pointing 1298 01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:34.000 out something that I agree with him, wholeheartedly on Musku 1299 01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:36.520 is doing what the American people have wanted for years, 1300 01:16:37.119 --> 01:16:39.760 he said, But in Washington, common sense is illegal, and 1301 01:16:39.800 --> 01:16:42.720 I just see the Democrats screaming and yelling about taking 1302 01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:49.520 this money away, like seriously. Courrty's Senator John Kennedy found 1303 01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:53.279 that the USA, it has ten thousand people, ten thousand employees. 1304 01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:55.880 Every year they give away forty billion dollars, sprinkling it 1305 01:16:55.920 --> 01:17:00.800 all over the grobe. Usaid gave money to support electric 1306 01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:13.680 vehicles in Vietnam. Vietnam, that's your earnings. He found that 1307 01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:16.279 the USA gave money to a transgender clinic in India. 1308 01:17:17.039 --> 01:17:20.880 Quote I didn't know that, that is, Senator John Kennedy. 1309 01:17:21.199 --> 01:17:23.680 I didn't know that. I bet you the American people 1310 01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:26.920 didn't know that. Now he's in a position to at 1311 01:17:27.000 --> 01:17:30.159 least have access to this information. How in the hell 1312 01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:35.000 did that money get awarded to a transgender clinic in India? 1313 01:17:35.600 --> 01:17:38.079 USA gave one point five million dollars to a Serbian 1314 01:17:38.199 --> 01:17:43.000 LGBTQ group, he said, anyway, they got one point five 1315 01:17:43.039 --> 01:17:48.720 million to quote advanced diversity, equity inclusion in Serbian workplaces 1316 01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:54.159 and business communities. I just scratched my head over this. 1317 01:17:57.800 --> 01:18:02.000 They Doge found the USA ustate spent one hundred and 1318 01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:05.239 sixty four million dollars to support radical organizations around the world. 1319 01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:07.720 He so we're not talking about cub Scout troops, We're 1320 01:18:07.720 --> 01:18:10.039 talking about radical organizations. They gave one hundred and twenty 1321 01:18:10.039 --> 01:18:13.560 two million dollars to group aligned with foreign terrorist organizations, 1322 01:18:14.119 --> 01:18:19.159 our taxpayer money. According to the report from the Dodge Group, 1323 01:18:20.279 --> 01:18:24.199 USA had given millions of dollars to organizations in Gaza 1324 01:18:24.279 --> 01:18:29.479 controlled by Hamas. Why, senator asked, why aren't my colleagues 1325 01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:38.399 talking about those recipients of money? Good question. Senator Cynthia 1326 01:18:38.479 --> 01:18:42.760 Lumins also a gassed at finding out where our taxpayer 1327 01:18:42.840 --> 01:18:45.840 dollars have been going. And you gotta wonder where how 1328 01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.479 come these people won't be more proactive about this For 1329 01:18:48.520 --> 01:18:52.079 the past how many decades? John F. Kennedy signed USAID 1330 01:18:52.119 --> 01:18:55.279 into by executive order created at whole cloth back in 1331 01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:58.800 what early nineteen sixties, and for whatever purpose it was 1332 01:18:58.880 --> 01:19:01.640 it was put to, it been funded ever since. Didn't 1333 01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:04.760 anyone ever take a little moment in time to look 1334 01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:07.560 at this. We had to wait for Donald Trump to 1335 01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:10.079 be re elected president of the United States of America 1336 01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:12.600 to tap the brilliance of Elon musk Oh. I know, 1337 01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:14.880 not everybody really loves or embraces the Guy's a bit 1338 01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:17.000 of an oddball, I'll grant you that, but he's a 1339 01:19:17.119 --> 01:19:20.520 proven genius. I got into my son the other day 1340 01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:24.039 about this. Who's read most come? It's like government is 1341 01:19:24.079 --> 01:19:27.600 filled with advisors. People are tapped for their expertise, knowledge 1342 01:19:27.600 --> 01:19:32.159 and experience. He has run successful companies. He's gotten rid 1343 01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:34.960 of a bunch of employees in various companies he's owned 1344 01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:39.760 because they didn't provide any value to the company. That's 1345 01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:44.800 what he's doing to government. That's a target rich environment. 1346 01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:48.000 Apparently hasn't taken him any moment in time to discover 1347 01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:50.640 all of this. How many weeks has Donald Trump be president? 1348 01:19:50.640 --> 01:19:54.199 How many how many hours has Elon musk be at 1349 01:19:54.199 --> 01:19:58.039 work on this? And look at what we find? Twenty 1350 01:19:58.039 --> 01:20:02.880 million dollars for a sesame street show rack, twenty five 1351 01:20:03.000 --> 01:20:07.239 million dollars to promote green transportation in the country of Georgia, 1352 01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:11.359 eight million dollars to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to 1353 01:20:11.399 --> 01:20:24.199 avoid binary gender language. Senator Cynthia Lomas, binary gendered language 1354 01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:27.479 in Sri Lanka, You've got to be kidding me. She's 1355 01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:31.520 quoted as saying right. And of course, in the money 1356 01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:33.960 that went to EcoHealth Alliance so we could create bat 1357 01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:37.159 coronaviruses that infected every one on the planet. Thank you 1358 01:20:37.359 --> 01:20:44.119 very much for that contribution, Carl, Welcome to the Morning Show. 1359 01:20:46.279 --> 01:20:49.840 It's a wonderful Monday morning in Cincinnati. My four seventy 1360 01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:53.199 one bridge of aka the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge aka 1361 01:20:53.239 --> 01:20:54.600 the Big Mac Bridge is open. 1362 01:20:54.920 --> 01:20:57.000 Amazing, isn't it. And that's ahead of schedule. 1363 01:20:57.600 --> 01:21:01.000 Yes, and I would like to give everybody some public 1364 01:21:01.039 --> 01:21:04.199 service announcements about the bridge. It's our duty as drivers 1365 01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:06.720 to keep this thing, keep the bridge safe. We don't 1366 01:21:06.720 --> 01:21:10.119 want to lose any more time or money being stuck 1367 01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:12.600 out on the bridge or having to take detours. The 1368 01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:15.000 speed limit on the bridge is fifty five miles per hour. 1369 01:21:15.399 --> 01:21:18.720 There's nothing more scary to me than to becoming across 1370 01:21:18.760 --> 01:21:22.039 the bridge at night and finding a disabled vehicle in 1371 01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:25.760 my lane due to an accident, and have drivers driving 1372 01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:28.239 seventy miles an hour on either side of me, not 1373 01:21:28.319 --> 01:21:33.199 allowing me to make any emergency maneuvers. Now, a question 1374 01:21:33.239 --> 01:21:35.800 of jurisdiction comes up. If you do see an accident 1375 01:21:35.840 --> 01:21:38.439 on the bridge, call it in. Don't assume that anybody's 1376 01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:42.159 called it in. Here are the rules. If the accident 1377 01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:47.479 occurs over the water, then it's Kentucky yeah to the accident. 1378 01:21:47.600 --> 01:21:52.279 If the accident occurs over land, then it's Cincinnati's duty 1379 01:21:52.359 --> 01:21:55.720 to respond to an accident. As you can see in 1380 01:21:55.760 --> 01:21:58.520 this situation that we had where the bridge caught on fire, 1381 01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:01.319 there was a fire underneath the Bride Bridge. It's Ohio 1382 01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:04.399 that is having to foot the bill on the expenses 1383 01:22:04.680 --> 01:22:09.960 because that part of the bridge. Yes, Now, when you 1384 01:22:09.960 --> 01:22:12.000 call nine one one and you get nine one one 1385 01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:15.159 in Cincinnati and you tell them I'm heading northbound on 1386 01:22:15.199 --> 01:22:17.680 the bridge and there's been an accident, don't be surprised 1387 01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:19.880 that they will tell you that No. I four seventy 1388 01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:22.920 one does not run north and south. It runs east 1389 01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:27.119 and west. Boy, what a surprise. Yes, Now, I did 1390 01:22:27.119 --> 01:22:29.720 some research on this, and actually, if you look at 1391 01:22:29.720 --> 01:22:34.319 the map, it does run kind of east and west. However, 1392 01:22:34.439 --> 01:22:36.560 if you listen to the traffic reports, which I do, 1393 01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:41.560 SORWLW and Schuck Ingram does a wonderful job. The whole 1394 01:22:41.560 --> 01:22:44.399 team does a wonderful job. They always announced that it 1395 01:22:44.479 --> 01:22:48.399 runs north and South. Yesterday I spent some time on 1396 01:22:48.439 --> 01:22:52.039 the computer and looking at Wikipedia. Wikipedia does say that 1397 01:22:52.119 --> 01:22:57.600 it is a north south connector. So and as you're 1398 01:22:57.640 --> 01:22:59.840 calling nine one one in Cincinnati, you're going to have 1399 01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:03.000 dificulty talking to the nine to one one call taker 1400 01:23:03.039 --> 01:23:05.880 because you're going to be going under overpasses on I 1401 01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:07.720 seventy one North. 1402 01:23:08.479 --> 01:23:10.239 Call it. It sounds like you've got a lot of 1403 01:23:10.279 --> 01:23:11.199 experience with this. 1404 01:23:11.880 --> 01:23:14.000 Yes, I'm on the bridge. I'm not on the bridge 1405 01:23:14.039 --> 01:23:17.479 all the time, but I've been on there way too 1406 01:23:17.520 --> 01:23:19.800 many times and seeing way too many accidents. And if 1407 01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:22.039 you listen to the traffic reports, you will hear about 1408 01:23:22.079 --> 01:23:23.720 accidents on the bridge. 1409 01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:24.000 Yeah. 1410 01:23:24.359 --> 01:23:29.319 And you know if Cincinnati and Newport do cooperate police 1411 01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:32.119 departments and that fire departments do cooperate. For example, if 1412 01:23:32.119 --> 01:23:34.760 there is a bridge accident on the bridge over the 1413 01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:37.880 land on the northbound side, Cincinnati nine to one one 1414 01:23:37.960 --> 01:23:40.000 will try to call Newport and see if they can 1415 01:23:40.000 --> 01:23:43.039 dispatch an officer out there to turn on his emergency lights. 1416 01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:45.840 It's going to take a while for the Cincinnati ambulance 1417 01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:48.680 to get to you because they are the ones responsible 1418 01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:51.359 for responding to the accident. And I guess they have 1419 01:23:51.399 --> 01:23:52.920 to go all the way over to Kentucky and then 1420 01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:55.359 come northbound on the bridge. 1421 01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:57.800 Well and going back to your prior point. Drive carefully 1422 01:23:57.880 --> 01:23:59.840 and we can avoid the accidents in the first place. 1423 01:24:00.000 --> 01:24:02.560 We won't have to worry about reaching emergency services regardless 1424 01:24:02.560 --> 01:24:04.199 of which section of the bridge it happens to fall on. 1425 01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:07.920 Appreciate the info, Carl, I do stay safe out there. 1426 01:24:08.199 --> 01:24:10.199 It's the same thing with the Towers of Kenwood. You 1427 01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:13.640 know we're on We're in the Towers at Kenwood and 1428 01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:15.960 there's an east tower in a west tower, which always 1429 01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:19.039 confused me because to me, in my mind, Montgomery Road 1430 01:24:19.439 --> 01:24:23.399 is a north south road.

To hear from the 1486 01:27:10.840 --> 01:27:13.359 former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, venting his 1487 01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:16.720 spleen for the smith event, Christopher Smithman, Welcome back, my friend. 1488 01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:17.880 Love having you on my show. 1489 01:27:18.920 --> 01:27:22.199 Oh brother, thank you so much for having me each week. 1490 01:27:22.359 --> 01:27:27.560 And there's so much going on, like most we can't even. 1491 01:27:27.439 --> 01:27:28.079 Keep up with it. 1492 01:27:28.159 --> 01:27:32.960 Oh, I know, I've never felt like this before. Like, 1493 01:27:33.359 --> 01:27:35.520 where do you even start, Brian Thomas. 1494 01:27:35.199 --> 01:27:38.399 I know, well, welcome to my world. I'd regularly joke 1495 01:27:38.479 --> 01:27:40.119 at the end of the week, and last week was 1496 01:27:40.159 --> 01:27:42.560 particularly thick stack of stuff that I didn't get to. 1497 01:27:43.239 --> 01:27:46.159 You know, I got a realm plus beyond a ream 1498 01:27:46.199 --> 01:27:49.359 of paper of stories that I couldn't even talk about 1499 01:27:50.039 --> 01:27:52.239 I get in here in the morning, I bring fifteen 1500 01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:54.760 twenty maybe more stories that I print off from the 1501 01:27:54.800 --> 01:27:57.640 day before as I'm doing research for the show, and 1502 01:27:57.680 --> 01:27:59.319 then I show up in the morning about an hour 1503 01:27:59.359 --> 01:28:01.079 and a half before the show begins to find out 1504 01:28:01.119 --> 01:28:03.479 what happened after I went to bed last night, and 1505 01:28:03.479 --> 01:28:05.960 then ended up printing like fifteen or twenty more articles 1506 01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:08.079 during that period of time. It seems like it just 1507 01:28:08.159 --> 01:28:11.039 keeps building and building, and I never get it all 1508 01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:14.680 in anyway, so it goes Well. 1509 01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:20.000 What I want to talk about is this notion that 1510 01:28:20.159 --> 01:28:23.319 the President of the United States had to sign an 1511 01:28:23.359 --> 01:28:30.279 executive order that stated that boys can't compete against girls 1512 01:28:30.520 --> 01:28:37.720 against sports. That common sense to say that the President 1513 01:28:38.000 --> 01:28:42.960 of the United States had to sign an executive order 1514 01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:49.159 that said boys can't compete against girl in sports in 1515 01:28:49.199 --> 01:28:53.880 the United States of America and then have the NCAA go, oh, yeah, 1516 01:28:54.199 --> 01:28:58.159 we'll follow what the executive order said. Well, if you 1517 01:28:58.359 --> 01:29:03.600 cared about girls, if you thought about fairness, you could 1518 01:29:03.640 --> 01:29:08.119 have responded first and had the courage to stand on 1519 01:29:08.239 --> 01:29:12.199 your conviction and not wait for the President to walk 1520 01:29:12.239 --> 01:29:17.520 in with common sense that say, hey, boys can't compete 1521 01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:22.800 against girl in sports. What an amazing week to have 1522 01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:30.239 the president sitting there surrounded by girls who are dancers, gymnasts, swimmers, 1523 01:29:31.640 --> 01:29:37.239 probably in some sport of karate wrestling, whatever the sport was. 1524 01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:43.319 They're surrounding him looking adorable. He has a pen, He's 1525 01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:46.560 giving the pins out to all the little girls, saying, 1526 01:29:46.760 --> 01:29:49.479 I just protected you. So if you go in the 1527 01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:52.680 boxing ring, you're not going to get knocked out by 1528 01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:54.039 a dude. 1529 01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:57.439 Yeah, And you hearing you say it like that, Christopher, 1530 01:29:57.520 --> 01:30:00.479 You know here we are or in this we're in 1531 01:30:00.479 --> 01:30:04.199 twenty twenty five, and we have been living with this 1532 01:30:04.319 --> 01:30:08.279 reality that boys were competing against girls now for the 1533 01:30:08.319 --> 01:30:12.279 past four or five years, that somehow that was supposed 1534 01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:15.560 to be normal. Christopher, do you think that has anything 1535 01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:18.279 to do with the fact that Donald Trump got overwhelmingly 1536 01:30:18.359 --> 01:30:21.880 elected anything at all? I mean gone, the open borders 1537 01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:23.840 and the national debt, everything else you can throw in 1538 01:30:24.560 --> 01:30:27.399 any of the equation, just the mere concept that people 1539 01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:32.920 refused the scientific fact that there's a chromosomal and of 1540 01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:36.399 course genital difference between men and women, and that men 1541 01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:40.479 have a biologically built in advantage from a physical standpoint 1542 01:30:40.520 --> 01:30:43.119 over women. Like we didn't all know that going in. 1543 01:30:45.119 --> 01:30:53.560 It's this remarkable moment where you know the LGBTQ plus community, 1544 01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:56.039 by the way, I support I. 1545 01:30:56.039 --> 01:30:59.079 Know I do too. Listen, I think you know, I know. 1546 01:30:59.359 --> 01:31:03.880 Crazy about I just has nothing to do with being anti. 1547 01:31:04.680 --> 01:31:09.359 This is common sense, you know. And you know I 1548 01:31:09.399 --> 01:31:14.439 have a son who's openly gay, and so this notion 1549 01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:17.159 that if you're listening to the audiences out there like 1550 01:31:17.239 --> 01:31:20.079 baul Man, Smitherman doesn't support the LGBTQ. 1551 01:31:20.199 --> 01:31:21.199 No, I have a daughter. 1552 01:31:21.880 --> 01:31:27.279 I have a beautiful daughter who swims for a phenomenal 1553 01:31:27.319 --> 01:31:31.600 school in Cincinnati by the name of Seaton.

So the President signing that executive 1581 01:32:45.439 --> 01:32:49.800 order saying boys can't be swimming in pools or boxing 1582 01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:54.239 rings or wrestling or karate or whatever it is, frack 1583 01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:56.880 with our girls make all the sense of the world. 1584 01:32:57.119 --> 01:33:03.119 And politically, Brian Thomas, he's bringing the suburban women home 1585 01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:06.039 who were saying, you know what, we didn't know how 1586 01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:09.520 we could deal, how what we thought about Trump.

I spent too much time 1649 01:36:11.199 --> 01:36:13.199 in a pool, Christopher. I didn't even want to swim 1650 01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:14.800 in college. There could have been a college out that 1651 01:36:14.760 --> 01:36:16.720 the wo'd offer me a scholarship. I would have said no. 1652 01:36:16.840 --> 01:36:20.199 I hung my suit up. After I graduated from my 1653 01:36:20.239 --> 01:36:21.680 high school, I was captain of the swim team. The 1654 01:36:21.720 --> 01:36:23.560 year I graduated, I hung my suit up and I 1655 01:36:23.640 --> 01:36:26.520 just looked at it and thought, there is no blanking 1656 01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:31.520 way I'm putting in another ten thousand yards swim practice day. 1657 01:36:31.600 --> 01:36:34.319 I'm done. So anyway, parted company was swimming. 1658 01:36:35.840 --> 01:36:38.359 All you're doing is telling your listing audience that you 1659 01:36:38.399 --> 01:36:40.159 are a complete stud na. 1660 01:36:43.439 --> 01:36:45.239 Your walking around the pool.

If I had 1662 01:36:48.199 --> 01:36:50.279 my way, I wouldn't have been on Marlins and I 1663 01:36:50.279 --> 01:36:52.399 probably wouldn't have been a swimmer, you know. But my 1664 01:36:52.479 --> 01:36:55.239 parents insisted that I do something with my life and 1665 01:36:55.239 --> 01:36:57.560 that I exercised, and it also helped me to stay 1666 01:36:57.560 --> 01:36:59.960 out of trouble. Christopher, how much trouble can your dog 1667 01:37:00.159 --> 01:37:02.479 getting given how much time she spends in the pool 1668 01:37:02.479 --> 01:37:09.920 and its swim meets zero zero sport? 1669 01:37:12.720 --> 01:37:13.960 Where where is your daughter? 1670 01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:16.239 She's in the pool. 1671 01:37:17.479 --> 01:37:19.399 And let me and let me give a real shout 1672 01:37:19.399 --> 01:37:22.520 out for the coach, Jody Shaffer.

And let me just say this to 1678 01:37:35.920 --> 01:37:39.760 you in my in my screen that this morning on 1679 01:37:40.279 --> 01:37:42.239 what I think is a very serious matter, and you 1680 01:37:42.279 --> 01:37:46.359 were talking about it earlier, and that is identifying the 1681 01:37:46.399 --> 01:37:50.439 waste and corruption at the federal level. And I've been 1682 01:37:50.600 --> 01:37:55.119 watching congressional members and have so many different tentacles try 1683 01:37:55.159 --> 01:37:56.279 to kill the messenger. 1684 01:37:56.560 --> 01:38:00.119 Yeah, so you're trying to kill Eli. Musk keeps the messenger. 1685 01:38:00.960 --> 01:38:03.760 But what I didn't hear any of them say is 1686 01:38:03.760 --> 01:38:08.119 that what he's communicating is alive. Are all the things 1687 01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:10.880 that you're talking about that you've been listing this morning, 1688 01:38:10.920 --> 01:38:13.680 that you were listing last week of all of its 1689 01:38:13.680 --> 01:38:17.319 wasteful spending that most people would say, I didn't even 1690 01:38:17.359 --> 01:38:20.279 know my tax dollars. We're about to file our taxes 1691 01:38:20.479 --> 01:38:23.880 in April, sub will file in October. But the reality 1692 01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:27.079 of it is that we're all filing our taxes, getting 1693 01:38:27.119 --> 01:38:29.840 our ten ninety nine, our W twos and all of 1694 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.399 its money we see that we sent to the federal government. 1695 01:38:32.640 --> 01:38:36.159 The timing could not have been better, and listened to 1696 01:38:36.199 --> 01:38:38.640 you in the morning just lifts off these. 1697 01:38:38.439 --> 01:38:42.079 Things, just sends you into just a complete rage. 1698 01:38:42.199 --> 01:38:47.720 And so to see congressional members protesting that for in 1699 01:38:47.840 --> 01:38:51.840 support of UFA the organization and then going to the 1700 01:38:51.880 --> 01:38:56.399 Department of Education instead of going to your neighbor public 1701 01:38:56.800 --> 01:39:01.640 school that's failing, You're going to the mothership that We're saying, Hey, 1702 01:39:01.880 --> 01:39:05.399 what's happening here, what's the accountability? We're paying a lot 1703 01:39:05.479 --> 01:39:08.359 per student. We know our teachers are working hard, we 1704 01:39:08.479 --> 01:39:11.760 know their overwork. But the reality of it is, we 1705 01:39:11.840 --> 01:39:15.920 know that students are suffering across the United States and 1706 01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:18.439 our public school system. What are we going to do 1707 01:39:18.479 --> 01:39:23.600 about it? I was baffled, even ashamed to see congressional 1708 01:39:23.640 --> 01:39:27.119 members marching and acting like they were having some civil 1709 01:39:27.199 --> 01:39:30.680 rights movement against the Department of Education. And we need 1710 01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:33.479 to fix the system so that our children are getting 1711 01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:34.319 a good education. 1712 01:39:36.640 --> 01:39:40.359 Well stated Christopher. It really is a sorry state of affairs. 1713 01:39:40.359 --> 01:39:42.840 We spend more on a per student education in this 1714 01:39:42.880 --> 01:39:44.800 country than any other country in the world, and yet 1715 01:39:44.800 --> 01:39:49.119 we are so far behind other countries. It's embarrassing. It's 1716 01:39:49.119 --> 01:39:52.880 a disservice to our children, our young people. The eradication 1717 01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:56.680 of critical thinking skills, the eradication of phonics, the eradication 1718 01:39:56.760 --> 01:39:59.840 of the classics, all in favor of I don't know what, 1719 01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:03.720 teaching to the test which prepares them for literally nothing 1720 01:40:03.760 --> 01:40:05.840 in this world. Pause will bring Christopher back. I know 1721 01:40:05.880 --> 01:40:07.800 he's got more in his mind. Seven thirty five Right 1722 01:40:07.840 --> 01:40:10.159 now at fifty five KS City Talk station, I'll mention 1723 01:40:10.159 --> 01:40:12.720 affordable imaging, because imaging can be affordable.

I know 1730 01:40:27.760 --> 01:40:30.119 CT scans can go as high as five grand, perhaps 1731 01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:33.920 even more.

And in high school, 1791 01:43:32.039 --> 01:43:36.000 everybody is stripping down into their shorts right, layered up, 1792 01:43:36.399 --> 01:43:39.800 and then you just everybody's like all their jeeans are off, 1793 01:43:39.840 --> 01:43:43.159 they got our shorts, they have a T shirt on, right. 1794 01:43:43.800 --> 01:43:44.439 It's crazy. 1795 01:43:44.560 --> 01:43:46.960 And think about this too, Christopher. I bet it's exactly 1796 01:43:47.000 --> 01:43:48.720 the same as it was back when I was swimming, 1797 01:43:49.079 --> 01:43:52.039 because none of the student body would show up like 1798 01:43:52.079 --> 01:43:54.760 they do in football games or basketball games and every 1799 01:43:54.760 --> 01:43:56.119 like we go to the game. Yeah, let's go to 1800 01:43:56.159 --> 01:43:58.760 the football game this Sunday whatever, and you no one 1801 01:43:58.800 --> 01:44:01.359 from the student body would to watch a swim beat. 1802 01:44:02.560 --> 01:44:03.119 That's true. 1803 01:44:04.159 --> 01:44:07.319 And just the parents, the grandparents of the off those 1804 01:44:07.319 --> 01:44:09.199 and friends. I mean it's that's that's. 1805 01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:10.000 What it is. Yeah. 1806 01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:17.399 Well, you know, one of the things I want to 1807 01:44:17.479 --> 01:44:21.399 end with Brian, and it's serious, and this is the 1808 01:44:21.399 --> 01:44:25.560 neo Nazi stuff that we saw in Lincoln Heights is 1809 01:44:25.600 --> 01:44:27.520 an African American neighborhood. 1810 01:44:28.479 --> 01:44:29.560 One of the one of the. 1811 01:44:29.640 --> 01:44:34.319 One of the citizens that the Americans that they approached 1812 01:44:34.520 --> 01:44:38.159 is a good friend of mine. His first name is Eric. 1813 01:44:38.800 --> 01:44:45.239 He's a small business owner, beautiful wife, Marla, a girl, dad, 1814 01:44:45.399 --> 01:44:49.720 three three daughters. His small business is right across that bridge. 1815 01:44:49.800 --> 01:44:52.520 He worked seven days a week and I know he 1816 01:44:52.680 --> 01:44:56.680 was going into work and to have those guys approach 1817 01:44:56.840 --> 01:45:01.439 his truck with their weapons mostly might not understand that 1818 01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:04.800 these guys were approaching vehicles. Well, they approached my friends 1819 01:45:05.079 --> 01:45:08.960 and they're screaming. They're screaming the N word at him. 1820 01:45:09.399 --> 01:45:12.000 Now, you have to know my friend, who's nothing but 1821 01:45:12.039 --> 01:45:16.760 a country boy, hard worker every day, built this business 1822 01:45:16.760 --> 01:45:19.359 with his wife and his daughters, worked many of them 1823 01:45:19.399 --> 01:45:20.760 in that business with them. 1824 01:45:21.359 --> 01:45:22.279 But he is a. 1825 01:45:22.359 --> 01:45:25.640 Second Amendment gun carrying dude. 1826 01:45:26.079 --> 01:45:28.319 He's the wrong truck to walk up on. 1827 01:45:28.359 --> 01:45:30.520 And I'm telling you, you guy, he's the. 1828 01:45:30.479 --> 01:45:31.920 Wrong guy to pick a fight with. 1829 01:45:32.560 --> 01:45:35.880 And but my point to you is that we have 1830 01:45:36.079 --> 01:45:40.239 to as Americans and I'm using that word. All of 1831 01:45:40.319 --> 01:45:45.880 us must stick together against that craziness. It has no place, 1832 01:45:46.039 --> 01:45:48.760 It has no place in our society. 1833 01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:50.399 And also it. 1834 01:45:50.439 --> 01:45:56.279 Has nothing to do with any politician. Right, So, these 1835 01:45:56.399 --> 01:45:59.880 kinds of organizations have been around for hundreds of years, 1836 01:46:00.279 --> 01:46:04.119 they probably because of hate, will stay around for another hundred. 1837 01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:07.680 We just have to as Americans, because we are the 1838 01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:11.479 great experiment, we just have to know how to respond 1839 01:46:11.920 --> 01:46:16.680 without creating greater violence and making sure that they understand 1840 01:46:17.199 --> 01:46:20.520 that you and I, as brothers, we stand against that 1841 01:46:20.640 --> 01:46:23.119 craziness that has no place in America. 1842 01:46:25.079 --> 01:46:28.760 Yeah, exactly, I mean, you know, and Christopher, I just 1843 01:46:28.800 --> 01:46:32.560 really well, obviously you can call them to question the 1844 01:46:32.640 --> 01:46:38.560 wisdom of someone who embraces that ridiculous philosophy. But they're 1845 01:46:38.600 --> 01:46:41.319 what twelve or thirteen of those fill in the blank 1846 01:46:41.359 --> 01:46:44.399 with the sec inappropriate language that I can't use to 1847 01:46:44.439 --> 01:46:48.399 describe them. And they're in and all virtually all black, 1848 01:46:48.439 --> 01:46:52.000 with the biggest all black community in the greater Cincinnati area. Right, 1849 01:46:52.039 --> 01:46:52.960 that's Lincoln Heights. 1850 01:46:53.319 --> 01:46:58.359 Yeah, that's right, Lincoln Heights Baptist Church, one of the 1851 01:46:58.479 --> 01:47:03.199 historic African American Baptist churches in our region, and its pastor. 1852 01:47:03.279 --> 01:47:05.520 Pastor was on TV responding, I mean. 1853 01:47:05.840 --> 01:47:09.479 It's the wrong place to be and it could have 1854 01:47:09.600 --> 01:47:13.640 been gone really bad. It's I give my kudos out 1855 01:47:13.680 --> 01:47:18.039 to the Lincoln Heights, Lincoln Heights community, the pastors there, 1856 01:47:18.640 --> 01:47:22.840 you know, the community for not responding with violence, because 1857 01:47:22.840 --> 01:47:26.000 it's easy to do when you've got guys walking around 1858 01:47:26.039 --> 01:47:30.479 with assault rifle and they're actually approaching vehicles and calling 1859 01:47:30.520 --> 01:47:34.840 you crazy things. Anything could have happened this weekend, and 1860 01:47:34.920 --> 01:47:37.119 I just want to be that one of those voices, 1861 01:47:37.239 --> 01:47:40.840 like you've already went your voice to say, listen, this 1862 01:47:41.079 --> 01:47:43.880 is not the best of America, and it doesn't matter 1863 01:47:44.039 --> 01:47:46.279 what our race is. We can just call that out 1864 01:47:46.319 --> 01:47:48.439 as craziness and keep it moving. 1865 01:47:50.680 --> 01:47:53.760 Well again, you didn't call me looking for an argument today, Christopher. 1866 01:47:54.000 --> 01:47:56.119 I just you know, I just don't understand them. I 1867 01:47:56.199 --> 01:47:59.279 really don't, you know, And and and you know the 1868 01:47:59.319 --> 01:48:01.199 other thing I don't understand Christopher, And he kind of 1869 01:48:01.199 --> 01:48:03.359 alluded to it already. This is nothing with a politician 1870 01:48:03.600 --> 01:48:06.319 that someone had the audacity or people have the audacity 1871 01:48:06.359 --> 01:48:09.520 to say this is somehow connected with Donald Trump, the 1872 01:48:09.600 --> 01:48:15.239 presence of Nazis. Anybody can organize anybody. We have the 1873 01:48:15.319 --> 01:48:17.640 right to the free exercise. We have the right to 1874 01:48:17.800 --> 01:48:21.880 free speech, even protect even Nazi speech is protected with 1875 01:48:21.920 --> 01:48:24.520 there's a Supreme Court, huge Supreme Court case on that. 1876 01:48:25.960 --> 01:48:27.920 So they're allowed to say what they want. But I 1877 01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:30.279 embrace the idea of these idiots come out of their 1878 01:48:30.399 --> 01:48:32.840 holes and say it out loud so we know who 1879 01:48:32.840 --> 01:48:34.640 the idiots are. The only problem is they were too 1880 01:48:34.680 --> 01:48:37.399 afraid to show their faces. They're all covered eyes. 1881 01:48:38.319 --> 01:48:42.279 That's right, that's right, they're masked up. They don't want 1882 01:48:42.279 --> 01:48:44.680 people to know exactly who they are, which tells you 1883 01:48:44.720 --> 01:48:48.199 that they're cowards, because if they really believed in what 1884 01:48:48.239 --> 01:48:50.359 they were saying, they would show us who they are. 1885 01:48:51.760 --> 01:48:55.199 Let me in by saying to you, Brian that the 1886 01:48:55.279 --> 01:48:59.319 Super Bowl was okay. I really couldn't get into it 1887 01:48:59.359 --> 01:49:02.119 for a lot of the swim meet is at the 1888 01:49:02.159 --> 01:49:05.960 top of the list. But but let me say this 1889 01:49:06.000 --> 01:49:09.119 to you. To have the President of the United States, 1890 01:49:09.479 --> 01:49:12.239 which I didn't know was the first time a president 1891 01:49:12.319 --> 01:49:18.159 had ever attended a Super Bowl was phenomenal. And to 1892 01:49:18.319 --> 01:49:22.800 feel that American drum beat going through what most would 1893 01:49:22.880 --> 01:49:26.600 say the most important game are sport of the of 1894 01:49:26.720 --> 01:49:31.159 the year was just a wonderful, wonderful thing of bringing 1895 01:49:31.239 --> 01:49:35.439 us together and uniting us. And my heart went out 1896 01:49:35.560 --> 01:49:39.359 to all of those young people and older people who 1897 01:49:39.439 --> 01:49:45.279 lost their lives in that terroist attack. The story about 1898 01:49:45.279 --> 01:49:48.159 the brothers, because you know, you don't hear a lot 1899 01:49:48.239 --> 01:49:51.039 about those who lost their lives, So when you start 1900 01:49:51.119 --> 01:49:54.560 hearing about these stories about two brothers, both of them 1901 01:49:54.560 --> 01:49:58.439 were athletes. The older brother was there, lost his life, 1902 01:49:58.479 --> 01:50:01.840 the other brothers up for the draft. Asked his mom 1903 01:50:01.880 --> 01:50:06.319 and dad there, Lady God, that did a beautiful job singing. 1904 01:50:06.319 --> 01:50:08.720 What a beautiful voice she has. I don't anybody who 1905 01:50:08.720 --> 01:50:11.600 hasn't heard Lady Gaga that she really can sing. There's 1906 01:50:11.600 --> 01:50:14.039 some artists out here who can't sing. She's not one 1907 01:50:14.079 --> 01:50:16.920 of them. She really can sing. But to bring everybody 1908 01:50:16.960 --> 01:50:22.279 together with that kind of tone with our military was 1909 01:50:22.399 --> 01:50:25.560 really a wonderful thing. I was more into that piece 1910 01:50:25.600 --> 01:50:28.920 of it than what was happening on the field. Quite frankly, 1911 01:50:28.960 --> 01:50:35.880 we need more unification around our flag, around patriotism, which 1912 01:50:35.920 --> 01:50:39.000 has this notion that if you love our flagging, you 1913 01:50:39.119 --> 01:50:42.680 love our country. You and I can't say that our 1914 01:50:42.720 --> 01:50:45.359 country is imperfect, and we're still working on it. It's 1915 01:50:45.399 --> 01:50:49.359 still an experiment, but I can still stand for the 1916 01:50:49.479 --> 01:50:52.479 national anthem. I could take my hat off for the 1917 01:50:52.600 --> 01:50:56.279 national anthem. I can do the pledge of allegiance, and 1918 01:50:56.359 --> 01:50:59.359 I can bring honor to the greatest country in the world, 1919 01:51:00.079 --> 01:51:02.479 and that I'm so honored to be here, to be 1920 01:51:02.520 --> 01:51:05.800 able to participate in and do well in with all 1921 01:51:05.840 --> 01:51:08.640 of its shortcomings, it's still the greatest place in the 1922 01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:11.039 world to be And that's what I felt with the 1923 01:51:11.079 --> 01:51:13.720 President being there. And I love hearing the players say 1924 01:51:14.319 --> 01:51:17.920 I am honored to play in front of the President 1925 01:51:18.000 --> 01:51:21.560 of the United States of America because they are honoring 1926 01:51:21.960 --> 01:51:25.600 the position. Has get out of the personality and get 1927 01:51:25.640 --> 01:51:29.800 into respecting the position. The President of the United States 1928 01:51:29.840 --> 01:51:30.159 is here. 1929 01:51:30.600 --> 01:51:33.239 Yeah, it's a great observation, Christopher, and I might pivot 1930 01:51:33.279 --> 01:51:35.199 back over to the Nazis showing up on the bridge 1931 01:51:35.199 --> 01:51:38.000 in Lincoln Heights. Look what happened the next day, A 1932 01:51:38.079 --> 01:51:40.560 whole group the pastors met. They had a whole group 1933 01:51:40.600 --> 01:51:43.520 of people coming out to protest that joining together in 1934 01:51:43.560 --> 01:51:46.239 an anti Nazi message, which is something that we can 1935 01:51:46.239 --> 01:51:49.880 all support. So maybe there's a little positive that came 1936 01:51:49.920 --> 01:51:52.920 out of the negativity of those filling the blank people 1937 01:51:52.960 --> 01:51:56.920 hanging out on the bridge, the big, strong, massive contrast 1938 01:51:57.000 --> 01:52:00.600 showing of support the following day against the message that 1939 01:52:00.640 --> 01:52:02.239 they were allegedly spewing. 1940 01:52:03.359 --> 01:52:06.359 Good see, well, look at us when people come to 1941 01:52:06.439 --> 01:52:07.359 the listener lunch. 1942 01:52:07.399 --> 01:52:08.159 It's diverse. 1943 01:52:08.399 --> 01:52:13.039 I mean this notion that your listening audience is diverse, 1944 01:52:13.119 --> 01:52:16.119 the people that listen. And so, you know, all we 1945 01:52:16.239 --> 01:52:20.520 do is keep spreading truth and love and support common 1946 01:52:20.600 --> 01:52:25.159 sense whatever those words are to this craziness. And you know, 1947 01:52:25.479 --> 01:52:27.960 and I agree with you. I'm glad that the Lincoln 1948 01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:33.000 Heights community came out and they did a piece peaceful protest, 1949 01:52:33.720 --> 01:52:36.800 you know, in in response to the neo Nazis. 1950 01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:38.479 But I just want to be real. 1951 01:52:38.920 --> 01:52:42.800 Look, hate is going to stay in the hearts of 1952 01:52:42.920 --> 01:52:46.640 some people for the for a hundred years, is never 1953 01:52:46.720 --> 01:52:49.960 going to end. All we can do is know how 1954 01:52:50.039 --> 01:52:54.920 to live around it, through it, over it, pray for them, 1955 01:52:55.000 --> 01:52:55.880 and keep it moving. 1956 01:52:55.960 --> 01:52:57.039 What we don't want to. 1957 01:52:56.960 --> 01:53:00.840 Do, right is respond in the same lafel of violence 1958 01:53:01.119 --> 01:53:05.159 that they're doing. That's that's what they want. They win 1959 01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:09.640 when we do that. Love all of those responses, and 1960 01:53:09.680 --> 01:53:12.199 I love the people that can drive by them and 1961 01:53:12.279 --> 01:53:16.079 say sticks and stones, you know, but their words aren't 1962 01:53:16.079 --> 01:53:17.000 going to hurt me at all. 1963 01:53:17.199 --> 01:53:18.840 We're going to keep We're going to keep it moving. 1964 01:53:19.319 --> 01:53:22.920 But I appreciate you, Brian Thomas, Man we are I 1965 01:53:22.960 --> 01:53:24.960 think that this week is going to be a week 1966 01:53:25.000 --> 01:53:25.600 of terifs. 1967 01:53:26.239 --> 01:53:28.039 I don't care what China thinks. 1968 01:53:28.439 --> 01:53:31.279 China could be mad at us from here until the 1969 01:53:31.319 --> 01:53:35.239 next three hundred years. America better wake up and understand 1970 01:53:35.600 --> 01:53:38.840 that China is coming and they're thinking about the long game, 1971 01:53:39.239 --> 01:53:43.000 and we better have elected officials that are honed in 1972 01:53:43.439 --> 01:53:47.000 on what China is doing. So we are prepared. Recruitment 1973 01:53:47.039 --> 01:53:49.720 for the military is up for a reason, and we 1974 01:53:49.840 --> 01:53:53.439 better prepare this generation for what we are headed for, 1975 01:53:53.479 --> 01:53:54.800 which eventually. 1976 01:53:54.319 --> 01:53:55.079 Will be a war. 1977 01:53:55.439 --> 01:53:58.439 This is an economic war, it's a political war. But 1978 01:53:58.560 --> 01:54:02.199 at some point, Brian Thomas, world War three will happen. 1979 01:54:02.560 --> 01:54:05.399 It Free Pills, is that we just have to be 1980 01:54:05.479 --> 01:54:08.720 prepared for, Brian Thomas, That's the truth. It might be 1981 01:54:08.760 --> 01:54:11.439 one hundred years from now, it might be fifty, it 1982 01:54:11.560 --> 01:54:12.720 might be two hundred years. 1983 01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:13.319 Got it. Yeah. 1984 01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:17.039 The reality of it is, world War three will happen. 1985 01:54:17.359 --> 01:54:20.479 The question will be will this great United States of 1986 01:54:20.520 --> 01:54:23.279 America be ready for it? If we spend on time 1987 01:54:23.680 --> 01:54:27.199 fighting each other, focus on things that aren't important. They 1988 01:54:27.199 --> 01:54:29.000 will forget who the real enemies are. 1989 01:54:29.079 --> 01:54:31.159 Well, what have brother?

Every Monday at this time, more tariffs, this 2026 01:56:21.279 --> 01:56:24.119 time on aluminum steel. 2027 01:56:24.560 --> 01:56:26.600 Tariffs, tariffs and more tariffs. It just seems to me, 2028 01:56:26.640 --> 01:56:28.239 didn't we just talk about this, Brian, I think a 2029 01:56:28.239 --> 01:56:30.439 week ago, right, now, at this moment we were talking 2030 01:56:30.479 --> 01:56:31.119 about tariffs. 2031 01:56:31.840 --> 01:56:34.119 You know what, next week, at this moment, we'll probably 2032 01:56:34.119 --> 01:56:35.159 be talking about them too. 2033 01:56:36.319 --> 01:56:38.359 It seems to be the theme of twenty twenty five 2034 01:56:38.479 --> 01:56:41.199 YEP quick review. So this is this is gonna sound 2035 01:56:41.239 --> 01:56:42.840 a little bit familiar. But let's talk about what we 2036 01:56:42.880 --> 01:56:45.760 did talk about last week. So last week, the announcement 2037 01:56:45.960 --> 01:56:48.279 was that we'd announced the United States announced new tariffs 2038 01:56:48.279 --> 01:56:52.439 against Canada. That was twenty five percent tariffs on most imports, 2039 01:56:52.479 --> 01:56:54.319 just just just a wide range of everything. And you 2040 01:56:54.359 --> 01:56:56.239 and I went through a list of weirdness of stuff 2041 01:56:56.239 --> 01:56:58.800 that was on there. And then also it's only a 2042 01:56:58.880 --> 01:57:02.840 ten percent tariff on Canadian energy products. That was there 2043 01:57:02.880 --> 01:57:04.800 was an announcement there that Canada was going to come 2044 01:57:04.840 --> 01:57:07.039 back and slap some tariffs back. 2045 01:57:06.880 --> 01:57:08.239 On the US in exchange. 2046 01:57:08.319 --> 01:57:10.920 And then everybody decided, hey, wait a minute, let's chill out, 2047 01:57:11.000 --> 01:57:12.680 let's give it a month, and let's just kind of 2048 01:57:12.680 --> 01:57:13.439 see how things go. 2049 01:57:13.560 --> 01:57:14.840 Let's just all be friends. 2050 01:57:15.199 --> 01:57:18.199 So today the news is that the United States is 2051 01:57:18.239 --> 01:57:20.520 going to oppose a twenty five percent tariff on all 2052 01:57:20.600 --> 01:57:24.520 steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico. And by 2053 01:57:24.520 --> 01:57:27.199 the way, let's not forget why are we targeting Canada 2054 01:57:27.199 --> 01:57:29.319 and Mexico because there are friends, right, we want to 2055 01:57:29.319 --> 01:57:30.319 target our enemy. 2056 01:57:30.720 --> 01:57:32.479 That seems to have changed. Right. 2057 01:57:33.000 --> 01:57:37.159 Canada and Mexico are by far the largest trading partners 2058 01:57:37.199 --> 01:57:39.560 of the United States. So in twenty twenty three, we 2059 01:57:39.640 --> 01:57:42.600 had eight hundred billion dollars worth of goods and services 2060 01:57:42.600 --> 01:57:46.279 exchange with Mexico, seven seventy three with Canada, and then 2061 01:57:46.279 --> 01:57:48.279 it starts to drop off. China was five hundred and 2062 01:57:48.279 --> 01:57:50.479 seventy five billion, then Germany at two hundred and on 2063 01:57:50.560 --> 01:57:53.880 down from there. So we are basically slugging our best 2064 01:57:53.880 --> 01:57:56.079 friends right in the mouth to see how they react. 2065 01:57:56.560 --> 01:57:58.079 This is a trade war. It's what it looks like, 2066 01:57:58.079 --> 01:57:59.039 it is what it feels like. 2067 01:57:59.279 --> 01:58:00.279 And we'll we'll. 2068 01:58:00.159 --> 01:58:01.560 See if President Trump is able to get what he 2069 01:58:01.600 --> 01:58:03.640 wants out of this, will we stick to it. 2070 01:58:03.840 --> 01:58:04.359 We'll see. 2071 01:58:04.520 --> 01:58:06.760 Well, the original tariffs that we were previously talking about 2072 01:58:06.760 --> 01:58:08.880 that got put on hold for thirty days, President Trump 2073 01:58:08.960 --> 01:58:12.159 specifically stated it was an effort to get them to 2074 01:58:12.239 --> 01:58:15.560 pony up some help on border security, and in response, 2075 01:58:15.720 --> 01:58:18.680 both Mexico and Canada said, yeah, we will, and they 2076 01:58:18.680 --> 01:58:21.800 allocated resources and troops to go to their various borders 2077 01:58:21.800 --> 01:58:25.159 and help us control the illegal immigrant population. And so 2078 01:58:25.239 --> 01:58:29.279 that's why pausive tariffs. This don't isn't connected with any 2079 01:58:29.319 --> 01:58:31.680 specific announcement that I saw in Caes like, we are 2080 01:58:31.680 --> 01:58:35.039 doing this because fill in the blank. It's just because 2081 01:58:35.079 --> 01:58:39.520 we're importing the steel and aluminum from other countries, is it. 2082 01:58:39.680 --> 01:58:41.600 Do you think has it been expressed somewhere that has 2083 01:58:41.640 --> 01:58:44.359 Trump's hope that this will bring back the manufacturing of 2084 01:58:44.399 --> 01:58:46.520 steel and aluminum in our country. 2085 01:58:47.359 --> 01:58:49.720 Yeah, I think that underlies a lot of the decisions 2086 01:58:49.760 --> 01:58:51.720 you're going to see this administration make at the end 2087 01:58:51.720 --> 01:58:52.079 of the day. 2088 01:58:52.119 --> 01:58:52.319 Yeah. 2089 01:58:52.359 --> 01:58:54.840 Yeah, we want to stop the bad stuff from flowing 2090 01:58:54.880 --> 01:58:57.119 across the borders, and this is a great way to 2091 01:58:57.119 --> 01:58:59.279 get attention and do it. But another goal, and I 2092 01:58:59.279 --> 01:59:01.159 don't want to call it a secondary goal, it's just 2093 01:59:01.239 --> 01:59:04.840 another goal, is to impose the United States a little 2094 01:59:04.840 --> 01:59:07.520 more in the world order of how these goods and 2095 01:59:07.560 --> 01:59:11.039 services get traded. So we are we are an expensive nation. 2096 01:59:11.159 --> 01:59:12.800 You and I talk about this all the time. It's 2097 01:59:12.840 --> 01:59:15.600 expensive to produce things here because of all the rules 2098 01:59:15.600 --> 01:59:19.039 and regulations we have. Some are good and should be there, 2099 01:59:19.079 --> 01:59:21.680 some are a little probably a little overdone and maybe 2100 01:59:21.760 --> 01:59:24.560 need to be reviewed. But currently all we're trying to 2101 01:59:24.560 --> 01:59:26.119 do because it's going to be harder to get all 2102 01:59:26.159 --> 01:59:28.159 the all the regulation and all that stuff out. It's 2103 01:59:28.199 --> 01:59:30.279 going to take more time, a lot more time to 2104 01:59:30.359 --> 01:59:33.079 reduce the impact of that. But we're simply making it 2105 01:59:33.159 --> 01:59:36.920 more expensive form for other countries to compete with US. Uh, 2106 01:59:37.119 --> 01:59:40.199 And that to me, that's a band aid, right, that's 2107 01:59:40.279 --> 01:59:42.319 simply saying, in the short run, we can just make 2108 01:59:42.359 --> 01:59:44.880 it more expensive for other countries to push their goods 2109 01:59:44.920 --> 01:59:47.920 into the United States while in the background we're trying 2110 01:59:47.920 --> 01:59:50.319 to reduce That's why you're hearing about this department's gone 2111 01:59:50.359 --> 01:59:53.319 and this one's under review. Whether this stuff is constitutional. 2112 01:59:53.359 --> 01:59:57.319 Who knows, uh, not a constant constitutional law expert here. 2113 01:59:57.800 --> 02:00:01.359 But the goal there would be to reduce the long 2114 02:00:01.479 --> 02:00:03.960 term cost of producing these goods in the United States. 2115 02:00:04.159 --> 02:00:07.199 In the short run, we're going to increase our competitiveness 2116 02:00:07.199 --> 02:00:09.439 by just making it more expensive for other countries to 2117 02:00:09.439 --> 02:00:10.000 compete here. 2118 02:00:10.560 --> 02:00:13.279 Yeah. And I don't know if to get to point B, 2119 02:00:13.439 --> 02:00:16.279 which is making it easier to manufacture here, I mean, 2120 02:00:16.319 --> 02:00:18.279 do we have to go through the pain? I don't know. 2121 02:00:18.560 --> 02:00:22.239 Trump's got that you know, if every one regulation that's implemented, 2122 02:00:22.239 --> 02:00:24.319 you got get rid of ten. It used to be two. 2123 02:00:24.439 --> 02:00:27.359 But maybe the ten regulations that we're getting rid of 2124 02:00:27.520 --> 02:00:30.239 might impact the cost of doing business in the United States. 2125 02:00:30.439 --> 02:00:33.399 I mean, we've created this expense here. We've got OSHU, 2126 02:00:33.439 --> 02:00:36.960 we've got EPA, We've got all these rules and regulations. 2127 02:00:37.000 --> 02:00:39.760 We've got you know, union mandates in terms of contracts 2128 02:00:39.760 --> 02:00:43.000 they negotiated for, you know, really expensive hourly wages and 2129 02:00:43.079 --> 02:00:46.720 mandatory work conditions and everything just makes it more expensive. 2130 02:00:46.720 --> 02:00:48.680 Of course, if you can use slave labor like in 2131 02:00:48.760 --> 02:00:50.760 China to manufacturer steel, of course it's going to be 2132 02:00:50.760 --> 02:00:53.720 a lot cheaper. I mean, you know, we have kind 2133 02:00:53.720 --> 02:00:56.079 of done it to ourselves in many respects. Not to 2134 02:00:56.119 --> 02:00:58.359 negate your legitimate point that some of these rules and 2135 02:00:58.399 --> 02:01:01.840 regulations are important. It's just there's too many of them. 2136 02:01:02.159 --> 02:01:02.720 Yeah, that's right. 2137 02:01:02.760 --> 02:01:04.880 And we've never really had at least I can't think 2138 02:01:04.920 --> 02:01:07.439 of in my adult memory. I'm about fifty years old, 2139 02:01:07.479 --> 02:01:10.760 and I cannot think of my adult memory of any kind. 2140 02:01:10.520 --> 02:01:12.880 Of major review or overhaul. 2141 02:01:13.760 --> 02:01:17.560 Whenever the idea surfaced in Congress to get some of 2142 02:01:17.560 --> 02:01:19.960 these things cleaned up, then it would be quickly shot 2143 02:01:20.039 --> 02:01:22.000 down from the other side. I look at the social 2144 02:01:22.039 --> 02:01:24.600 security argument we talk about that doesn't work either, and 2145 02:01:25.279 --> 02:01:28.000 bills hit the floor every year, several times a year 2146 02:01:28.039 --> 02:01:31.319 to actually address that problem, but they're very easily shot. 2147 02:01:31.079 --> 02:01:32.199 Down by either side. 2148 02:01:32.319 --> 02:01:33.880 Well, now all of a sudden, there appears to be 2149 02:01:33.920 --> 02:01:37.800 a third side that doesn't really have to cowtow to 2150 02:01:37.840 --> 02:01:40.399 the other two sides. Now again, whether this stuff holds 2151 02:01:40.479 --> 02:01:42.319 up in court, that's going to be the challenge, because 2152 02:01:42.560 --> 02:01:44.800 there's some things coming out of DC right now that 2153 02:01:44.880 --> 02:01:48.319 have nothing to do and go completely counter to the Constitution. 2154 02:01:48.640 --> 02:01:51.920 Whether they're good moves bad moves, somebody is going to 2155 02:01:51.920 --> 02:01:54.399 stand up and say, hey, this does not go go 2156 02:01:54.560 --> 02:01:56.520 with the words that are in our constitution that we 2157 02:01:56.560 --> 02:01:58.439 all agreed was a pretty good idea a few hundred 2158 02:01:58.520 --> 02:01:58.880 years ago. 2159 02:01:59.079 --> 02:02:03.000 Yeah, And like all things, ultimately, litigation will result and 2160 02:02:03.239 --> 02:02:06.359 we'll finally get some answer when it finally ultimately reaches 2161 02:02:06.399 --> 02:02:08.640 the Supreme Court if it goes out high. But you know, 2162 02:02:08.680 --> 02:02:12.039 you're talking multiple years for any of these things to 2163 02:02:12.079 --> 02:02:13.720 see the light of some final decision. 2164 02:02:14.359 --> 02:02:16.960 Absolutely, and I think that's why Trump's taking the approach 2165 02:02:17.039 --> 02:02:19.199 that he is, which is just let's just slam the 2166 02:02:19.239 --> 02:02:21.479 door on these things. Whatever happens, maybe the glass in 2167 02:02:21.520 --> 02:02:23.720 the door breaks, who cares, We'll clean it up. I'm 2168 02:02:23.760 --> 02:02:25.880 not waving the flag saying this is a great idea. 2169 02:02:25.920 --> 02:02:28.359 It is definitely a different idea, and it's a different 2170 02:02:28.399 --> 02:02:31.800 approach sort of that scorch and burn. Let's burn everything down, 2171 02:02:31.880 --> 02:02:33.760 tear it all apart, and we will rebuild the stuff 2172 02:02:33.760 --> 02:02:36.079 that we have to rebuild and leave alone the stuff 2173 02:02:36.079 --> 02:02:38.840 that apparently wasn't necessary in the first place. A lot 2174 02:02:38.880 --> 02:02:42.000 of that comes from Elon Musk. That that is Elon 2175 02:02:42.079 --> 02:02:44.159 Musk to way. If you read his biography, if you 2176 02:02:44.199 --> 02:02:46.840 see how he built those businesses, he would he had 2177 02:02:46.960 --> 02:02:49.880 very strict rules about same as you just mentioned. If 2178 02:02:49.880 --> 02:02:51.279 we're going to put one rule in place, we're going 2179 02:02:51.319 --> 02:02:53.800 to get rid of five others. Every rule he creates 2180 02:02:54.079 --> 02:02:56.560 must have somebody's name attached to it, so that ten 2181 02:02:56.640 --> 02:02:59.119 years from now we can go back to that person. 2182 02:02:58.800 --> 02:03:00.399 To say, why does this rule exist and do we 2183 02:03:00.439 --> 02:03:01.079 still need it? 2184 02:03:01.359 --> 02:03:04.039 Versus like you said, regulations that have been in place 2185 02:03:04.159 --> 02:03:07.199 for decades that may or may not have any application anymore. 2186 02:03:06.920 --> 02:03:09.319 Right, and many of them redundant. Many of them, you know, 2187 02:03:09.479 --> 02:03:13.520 just outlandishly expensive too. That's saying that's the key. You 2188 02:03:13.600 --> 02:03:15.479 got to pay a legal department to pay attention to 2189 02:03:15.479 --> 02:03:18.319 the CODA FED federal regulations. And for every hour spent 2190 02:03:18.359 --> 02:03:20.720 by a lawyer, that is profit that's being taken away 2191 02:03:20.760 --> 02:03:23.479 from the company and time spent on something that most 2192 02:03:23.479 --> 02:03:25.800 prudent businesses really wish they didn't have to spend any 2193 02:03:25.800 --> 02:03:26.199 time on. 2194 02:03:26.960 --> 02:03:29.279 Yeah, and that's the American way legal companies and now 2195 02:03:29.279 --> 02:03:31.279 they realize this is a huge opportunity. The more the 2196 02:03:31.319 --> 02:03:34.000 messier this is, the more confusing it is, the more 2197 02:03:34.079 --> 02:03:35.920 profit can be made. You know, look at look at 2198 02:03:35.920 --> 02:03:38.960 the TurboTax people. Oh, I know the biggest lobbies in DC. 2199 02:03:39.119 --> 02:03:41.840 Let's like people confused them unable to do their own taxes. 2200 02:03:42.000 --> 02:03:42.199 Oh. 2201 02:03:42.239 --> 02:03:44.479 If I could lay hands on a problem, I think 2202 02:03:44.520 --> 02:03:46.319 that would be the first place I go. The United 2203 02:03:46.319 --> 02:03:49.399 States tax code. It's insane and all it is used 2204 02:03:49.399 --> 02:03:52.359 for as a vehicle for the federal government to manipulate 2205 02:03:52.439 --> 02:03:55.279 businesses into doing things that they otherwise wouldn't do as 2206 02:03:55.359 --> 02:03:58.680 prudent in businesses. Any pause, We're going to take an early, 2207 02:03:58.760 --> 02:04:01.079 slightly early break eight four. Team will bring him back 2208 02:04:01.359 --> 02:04:03.520 and we'll talk about your insurance rates are going up, 2209 02:04:03.560 --> 02:04:06.960 stating the obvious, but why also how much you planned 2210 02:04:07.000 --> 02:04:09.199 on spending on Valentine's Day. One more segment with Brian 2211 02:04:09.279 --> 02:04:12.880 James this morning, be right back fifty five KARC the 2212 02:04:13.119 --> 02:04:18.920 talk station eight eighteen fifty five KRCD Talk Station Brian 2213 02:04:18.920 --> 02:04:23.119 Thomas with Brian James from Aulworth Mancher doing Money Monday, Wow, 2214 02:04:23.319 --> 02:04:25.800 Insurance r. I know insurance rates are going through the roof, Brian, 2215 02:04:25.840 --> 02:04:29.279 and one might think immediately that it's because of the 2216 02:04:29.399 --> 02:04:32.399 natural disasters. You got wildfires in California, you got hurricanes 2217 02:04:32.439 --> 02:04:34.920 hitting the Florida and you know, running through in the 2218 02:04:34.960 --> 02:04:37.520 flooding in North Carolina, and all this obviously has to 2219 02:04:37.560 --> 02:04:40.000 be paid for by insurance companies, assuming insurance companies are 2220 02:04:40.000 --> 02:04:45.560 actually insuring these these these dwellings. But as I understand, 2221 02:04:45.720 --> 02:04:48.920 it's large part the growing insurance rates are because of 2222 02:04:49.000 --> 02:04:51.920 litigation lawsuits, at least the corner of this article from 2223 02:04:51.960 --> 02:05:02.600 Fox Business, I have Brian there you are, yeah, go ahead. 2224 02:05:02.399 --> 02:05:03.680 There, we are sorry about that. 2225 02:05:04.319 --> 02:05:04.520 Yeah. 2226 02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:07.159 So they're calling it the Torque tax. 2227 02:05:07.199 --> 02:05:09.279 The average American household is going to pay about forty 2228 02:05:09.279 --> 02:05:12.159 two hundred dollars a year through their premiums due to 2229 02:05:12.199 --> 02:05:15.640 these litigation costs, which is simply that that's just how 2230 02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:18.680 we've grown as a Society's we've always been a litigious 2231 02:05:18.680 --> 02:05:20.680 society because at the end of the day, in the 2232 02:05:20.680 --> 02:05:23.520 good old United States, a profit margin Suing people is 2233 02:05:23.520 --> 02:05:25.520 a great way to make money, right, we all kind 2234 02:05:25.520 --> 02:05:27.439 of know this, but it's gotten worse and worse. Just 2235 02:05:27.520 --> 02:05:31.199 like anything else anywhere, it is recognized that a profit 2236 02:05:31.279 --> 02:05:33.640 can be made, a profit will be made, and it 2237 02:05:33.680 --> 02:05:36.359 will be maximized and optimized. So there are companies out 2238 02:05:36.359 --> 02:05:40.479 there who solely exist to take on lawsuits for people. 2239 02:05:41.119 --> 02:05:43.520 For example, if you're if you're involved in some kind 2240 02:05:43.520 --> 02:05:46.159 of a medical malpractice suit, there are plenty of law 2241 02:05:46.199 --> 02:05:49.199 firms out there that have investors behind them who are 2242 02:05:49.199 --> 02:05:52.920 investing in the research of that lawsuit. The person who 2243 02:05:53.000 --> 02:05:55.359 was wronged by it will financially benefit, of course if 2244 02:05:55.359 --> 02:05:58.279 there's a win, but obviously getting a much smaller percentage. 2245 02:05:58.439 --> 02:06:00.760 These are literally like they're starting to look like little 2246 02:06:00.840 --> 02:06:03.960 startup companies. Right, something happens to somebody and there's and 2247 02:06:04.000 --> 02:06:07.359 there's a somewhat clear you know, medical malpractice type of 2248 02:06:07.359 --> 02:06:11.279 a suit. Well, let's not just sue the medical provider 2249 02:06:11.319 --> 02:06:13.359 behind it. Let's get as much as we possibly can, 2250 02:06:13.479 --> 02:06:17.000 regardless of the impact. This is just skyrocketing, and it's 2251 02:06:17.079 --> 02:06:20.600 literally raising your and my insurance premiums because the insurance 2252 02:06:20.640 --> 02:06:23.319 companies have to react to that as well as of 2253 02:06:23.359 --> 02:06:25.640 course they have their own profit motivations as well. So 2254 02:06:26.199 --> 02:06:27.960 there's a lot going on out there that is going 2255 02:06:28.000 --> 02:06:29.479 to continue to raise these costs. 2256 02:06:29.720 --> 02:06:31.720 Yeah, and I was really you know, I was a 2257 02:06:31.760 --> 02:06:35.359 litigation attorney for sixteen years. I involved I did defense work, 2258 02:06:35.800 --> 02:06:38.439 you know, towards liability, a product liability that a lot 2259 02:06:38.520 --> 02:06:41.199 of those defended companies like Cooper Industries for injuries that 2260 02:06:41.359 --> 02:06:43.800 were claimed to be as a consequence of something that 2261 02:06:43.840 --> 02:06:48.439 their product did. But this idea that that attorneys are 2262 02:06:48.640 --> 02:06:53.319 are expanding the expectations of the basically the jury pool 2263 02:06:53.359 --> 02:06:56.439 by advertising My client got twenty million dollars from this 2264 02:06:56.520 --> 02:07:01.119 auto accident and then going into court making wailed outlandish 2265 02:07:01.199 --> 02:07:03.840 claims for damages because you know, you got to start someplace. 2266 02:07:03.840 --> 02:07:06.880 It's like a negotiation. It's like Trump start now. You know, 2267 02:07:06.920 --> 02:07:09.439 I'm gonna buy Greenland. Maybe you just get this. The 2268 02:07:09.479 --> 02:07:12.439 conversation started about how we can improve relations with it 2269 02:07:12.560 --> 02:07:15.039 or whatever you got to start somewhere. But they start 2270 02:07:15.119 --> 02:07:17.520 these crazy amounts and juries get it in their mind that, well, 2271 02:07:17.600 --> 02:07:20.840 that's kind of normal. But it's not. There's no connection 2272 02:07:20.920 --> 02:07:24.920 with these wild claims of damages to the reality of 2273 02:07:25.000 --> 02:07:27.479 the injury that that person allegedly suffered. 2274 02:07:28.239 --> 02:07:31.720 Yeah, but you're right, those eight and sometimes nine digit 2275 02:07:31.840 --> 02:07:34.920 jury verdicts are becoming normalized, and that's why you have 2276 02:07:35.000 --> 02:07:37.239 these signs shoved in your face. You're just trying to 2277 02:07:37.319 --> 02:07:39.000 drive to work or run to the grocery store, and 2278 02:07:39.039 --> 02:07:41.520 you're seeing billboards that advertise this, We're seeing it on 2279 02:07:41.520 --> 02:07:44.760 social media. It's just a way that this industry. Then 2280 02:07:44.760 --> 02:07:46.279 I'm gonna go ahead and call this an industry. It's 2281 02:07:46.279 --> 02:07:50.039 little cottage industry, I would say, Yeah, is affecting how you, 2282 02:07:50.119 --> 02:07:53.000 as a potential juror might react. So, in other words, 2283 02:07:53.000 --> 02:07:54.960 when you finally do land in that jury box, as 2284 02:07:54.960 --> 02:07:57.359 all of us will probably once in our lives, you 2285 02:07:57.399 --> 02:07:59.800 won't blink at the idea of a ten million dollar 2286 02:08:00.039 --> 02:08:03.239 verdict that itself has a has a nickname. Nuclear verdicts 2287 02:08:03.479 --> 02:08:05.840 is what they're calling jury verdicts of ten million dollars 2288 02:08:05.920 --> 02:08:08.920 or more. The top one hundred of these have increased 2289 02:08:08.920 --> 02:08:10.920 by about three hundred and fifty percent in the last 2290 02:08:10.960 --> 02:08:14.840 six years. Overall personal injury verdicts since twenty ten are 2291 02:08:14.880 --> 02:08:17.800 up three hundred and nineteen percent, so we're seeing a 2292 02:08:17.920 --> 02:08:20.319 huge increase. Again, it's just a place, it's just a 2293 02:08:20.359 --> 02:08:24.920 new business. There are literally investors here, yeah, supporting law firms, 2294 02:08:25.000 --> 02:08:26.920 just like you would you would raise funds for a 2295 02:08:26.960 --> 02:08:29.399 technology company or something like that. They're supporting law firms 2296 02:08:29.439 --> 02:08:33.279 who will go chase and prosecute these quote unquote opportunities. 2297 02:08:33.319 --> 02:08:36.079 You know what, this seems to me just a screaming 2298 02:08:36.199 --> 02:08:40.720 cry for some ethics reforms and some rules governing the 2299 02:08:40.760 --> 02:08:44.520 practice of law, because this article points out that foreign parties, 2300 02:08:44.520 --> 02:08:46.960 for example, the Chinese Communist Party are some of the 2301 02:08:47.079 --> 02:08:51.319 investors who finance these lawsuits. I mean the idea of 2302 02:08:51.359 --> 02:08:55.680 some outside person financing and then glombing onto some chunk 2303 02:08:55.800 --> 02:08:57.800 of the award which should have either gone to the 2304 02:08:57.840 --> 02:09:00.479 planefs lawyers who did the legal work, or or to 2305 02:09:00.600 --> 02:09:03.640 their client who they represent, but that they have to 2306 02:09:03.680 --> 02:09:05.439 shell out a chunk of this jury or you can 2307 02:09:05.479 --> 02:09:07.560 give to some third party investor. That just seems to 2308 02:09:07.600 --> 02:09:12.880 be just completely unethical. But who am I but a priortigation. 2309 02:09:12.840 --> 02:09:14.199 Rationally thinking American. 2310 02:09:14.920 --> 02:09:18.239 Unfortunately, we just put an administration in place that is 2311 02:09:18.279 --> 02:09:20.239 not going to lift a finger to do that. Because 2312 02:09:20.279 --> 02:09:22.479 to fight that, because that's going to be more regulation, 2313 02:09:22.800 --> 02:09:24.399 we're going to be going the opposite direction. 2314 02:09:24.960 --> 02:09:26.199 You're going to hear more and more about this. 2315 02:09:26.399 --> 02:09:29.039 Well, I don't know that it requires federal legislation. This 2316 02:09:29.159 --> 02:09:32.079 requires like state bar associations to enact rules that say 2317 02:09:32.119 --> 02:09:33.920 you just can't do that. As a lawyer in the 2318 02:09:33.960 --> 02:09:38.239 state practicing here, that is prohibited period. It could be 2319 02:09:38.279 --> 02:09:41.279 done grassroots efforts have to get the plaintiffs bar behind it. 2320 02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:44.479 Ha ha. Good luck with that, all right, Brian, The 2321 02:09:44.479 --> 02:09:46.720 answer for me is nothing. I may buy a card 2322 02:09:46.800 --> 02:09:49.840 to celebrate the day of our engagement, but you know, 2323 02:09:49.920 --> 02:09:51.840 Valentine's Day is just like any other day of the 2324 02:09:51.840 --> 02:09:54.119 week from my perspective, and it's just an excuse for 2325 02:09:54.119 --> 02:09:55.359 people to feel like they've got to go out and 2326 02:09:55.359 --> 02:09:57.479 spend a lot of money, and apparently they do. 2327 02:09:58.279 --> 02:09:58.840 They do. 2328 02:09:58.960 --> 02:10:02.239 Indeed, so we're expected to spend twenty five point eight 2329 02:10:02.319 --> 02:10:05.479 billion dollars eh in this Yeah, that's a lot a 2330 02:10:05.479 --> 02:10:05.920 lot of money. 2331 02:10:05.960 --> 02:10:07.359 That chocolate just got expensive. 2332 02:10:07.960 --> 02:10:10.399 Uh, And we'll spend an average of one hundred and 2333 02:10:10.439 --> 02:10:12.520 eighty five dollars on gifts and experiences. 2334 02:10:12.560 --> 02:10:14.159 Now this, this, this blows my mind. 2335 02:10:14.399 --> 02:10:16.359 I hope Michelle James is not expecting one hundred and 2336 02:10:16.359 --> 02:10:19.119 eighty five dollars worth of gifts and experiences if you 2337 02:10:19.239 --> 02:10:21.720 take She would flap me straight across the face if 2338 02:10:21.760 --> 02:10:22.680 I did that anything. 2339 02:10:22.680 --> 02:10:24.079 That's why I married her the first place. 2340 02:10:24.159 --> 02:10:27.520 Night She's prudent, she's frugal. She knows the value of 2341 02:10:27.560 --> 02:10:29.800 a dollar, and she has low expectations that you're gonna 2342 02:10:29.800 --> 02:10:32.439 go out and shot a boatload of money for well, 2343 02:10:32.600 --> 02:10:33.680 just another day. 2344 02:10:34.720 --> 02:10:36.840 She is so frugal that the first time I bought 2345 02:10:36.840 --> 02:10:39.079 her flowers a million years ago, she yelled at me 2346 02:10:39.119 --> 02:10:41.640 because flowers are expensive and they die, and we've got 2347 02:10:41.640 --> 02:10:43.079 more important things to spend money on. 2348 02:10:43.279 --> 02:10:45.239 Sounds like you, very well the same kind of woman 2349 02:10:45.279 --> 02:10:48.560 as mine.

She's spent at the center of the US 2375 02:11:52.159 --> 02:11:54.800 energy and environmental policy for a full decade from the 2376 02:11:54.840 --> 02:11:58.000 Senate cloak room of the Oval Office of veteran environmental attorney, 2377 02:11:58.079 --> 02:12:01.760 energy strategist, and communicator, served during President Trump's first term. 2378 02:12:01.840 --> 02:12:04.399 Is Chief of Staff at the US Environmental Protection Agency. 2379 02:12:04.680 --> 02:12:07.760 Currently a visiting fellow the Heritage Foundation, and welcome back. 2380 02:12:07.800 --> 02:12:09.439 It is a real pleasure to have you back on 2381 02:12:09.479 --> 02:12:10.159 the show, Mandy. 2382 02:12:11.159 --> 02:12:12.039 Yeah, good to be with you. 2383 02:12:12.079 --> 02:12:12.359 Brian. 2384 02:12:12.680 --> 02:12:14.880 I mean, can I just sort of sum up what 2385 02:12:14.920 --> 02:12:18.640 I think your perception is that this Doge Department is 2386 02:12:18.680 --> 02:12:20.439 like the answer to your dreams? 2387 02:12:21.520 --> 02:12:24.079 Yeah, I think you summed it up. Well, it really is. 2388 02:12:24.119 --> 02:12:25.279 And man, it's such a. 2389 02:12:25.239 --> 02:12:28.399 Beautiful thing to see because having been on the inside, 2390 02:12:29.920 --> 02:12:33.159 even in my position as chief of staff and the 2391 02:12:33.359 --> 02:12:36.520 access to the information that I had, it was hard 2392 02:12:36.560 --> 02:12:40.359 to paint the whole picture. You could pinpoint specific types 2393 02:12:40.439 --> 02:12:44.920 of waste, fraud or abuse or redundancies and efficiencies. You 2394 02:12:44.920 --> 02:12:47.359 could pinpoint those sorts of things, but it really is 2395 02:12:47.359 --> 02:12:49.600 a beautiful thing where you have someone like Elon and 2396 02:12:49.600 --> 02:12:53.319 his really talented team of software engineers going and looking 2397 02:12:53.359 --> 02:12:55.640 at the data and then painting a big picture in 2398 02:12:55.720 --> 02:12:58.079 ways that all of us can understand and all of 2399 02:12:58.119 --> 02:13:02.279 us can see. Is an absolute misuse of taxpayer resources. 2400 02:13:02.319 --> 02:13:04.000 So yeah, it's an answer to a lot of prayers. 2401 02:13:04.039 --> 02:13:06.359 Actually, well, sunlight, it's a great disinfect and lord ness, 2402 02:13:06.359 --> 02:13:07.520 we're getting a lot of it. And you one of 2403 02:13:07.560 --> 02:13:09.920 the problems that I'm sure you probably during your period 2404 02:13:09.960 --> 02:13:12.720 of time in the administration were as frustrated as anybody else, 2405 02:13:13.439 --> 02:13:17.199 the obstructionism that comes when when people that are responsible 2406 02:13:17.199 --> 02:13:21.680 for the oversight of our dollars, subcommittees, committees, the congressmen, 2407 02:13:21.760 --> 02:13:25.159 the congress women, the senators, when they're told basically go 2408 02:13:25.279 --> 02:13:26.720 to hell when they ask for information. 2409 02:13:28.279 --> 02:13:32.960 Yeah, really, I know, I know, it's it's really frustrating, 2410 02:13:33.039 --> 02:13:35.640 and it's you know, that is part of their responsibility. 2411 02:13:35.640 --> 02:13:38.960 Their responsibility is to report back to the public how 2412 02:13:38.960 --> 02:13:41.359 they're using these funds and what it's actually doing. But 2413 02:13:41.760 --> 02:13:44.039 it's not just the members of Congress. I mean, it's 2414 02:13:44.079 --> 02:13:47.840 also these bureaucrats, these entrenched deep state bureaucrats. 2415 02:13:48.119 --> 02:13:53.279 And here's the truth. There is a there is a crisis. 2416 02:13:52.800 --> 02:13:56.399 Of expertise on Capitol Hill, Frankly, you have a lot 2417 02:13:56.399 --> 02:13:58.600 of people there that don't really know what they're doing, 2418 02:13:58.600 --> 02:14:02.640 so they're wholly depending on deep state bureaucrats who've been 2419 02:14:02.680 --> 02:14:04.840 working at their job for thirty years to give them 2420 02:14:04.880 --> 02:14:07.239 information they don't otherwise know how to get. 2421 02:14:07.680 --> 02:14:08.960 So that's how the deep state works. 2422 02:14:08.960 --> 02:14:11.359 They don't give them all the information. Maybe they give 2423 02:14:11.399 --> 02:14:14.279 them a little drip drip here. But it's been many 2424 02:14:14.479 --> 02:14:19.560 decades of this type of imbalance between an agency funded 2425 02:14:19.600 --> 02:14:22.119 to eight at the tune of eight billion dollars and 2426 02:14:22.560 --> 02:14:26.479 as EPA is an example, with that oversight staff of 2427 02:14:26.600 --> 02:14:28.039 less than two million. 2428 02:14:27.720 --> 02:14:29.840 Dollars trying to perform oversight, and. 2429 02:14:29.840 --> 02:14:33.279 So you just have this massive mismatch and the resulting 2430 02:14:33.319 --> 02:14:37.199 consequences is just decades of layers of complexity and us 2431 02:14:37.239 --> 02:14:39.680 not knowing how our resources are spent well. 2432 02:14:39.720 --> 02:14:42.199 And it's also seemed to be very obviously a just 2433 02:14:42.319 --> 02:14:45.960 simple lack of care of how money is spent. I mean, 2434 02:14:46.439 --> 02:14:48.840 Musk over the weekend was talking about, you know, over 2435 02:14:48.960 --> 02:14:55.159 looking at through the Department of Treasury, right Treasury Department, 2436 02:14:55.399 --> 02:14:56.840 and he says, you know, I was told that there 2437 02:14:56.840 --> 02:14:58.560 were currently over one hundred billion dollars a year of 2438 02:14:58.560 --> 02:15:01.199 in time went payments individual with no those social Security number, 2439 02:15:01.199 --> 02:15:04.079 even a temporary ID number. And see, you know, he 2440 02:15:04.119 --> 02:15:06.479 pulls the room and Treasury he says, what percentage of 2441 02:15:06.520 --> 02:15:09.880 that is unequivocal obvious fraud? And the consensus in the 2442 02:15:09.960 --> 02:15:13.439 room was at least fifty billion dollars of it. That's 2443 02:15:13.439 --> 02:15:17.000 something that's simple to fix. Look, no social Security number, 2444 02:15:17.000 --> 02:15:19.600 no ID, you don't get any money. How hard is that? 2445 02:15:20.560 --> 02:15:24.359 It shouldn't be difficult at all. But that's what these agencies, 2446 02:15:24.399 --> 02:15:28.199 they've just become all about, constantly asking for more money. 2447 02:15:28.399 --> 02:15:31.920 There is no incentive for the everyday bureaucrat to find 2448 02:15:32.000 --> 02:15:36.520 ways to be incentive to find ways to cut costs 2449 02:15:36.560 --> 02:15:39.520 and to be truthful about the expenditure. 2450 02:15:38.840 --> 02:15:39.880 Of those costs. 2451 02:15:39.920 --> 02:15:43.880 And there's this this mentality, this culture in DC that 2452 02:15:43.920 --> 02:15:47.239 people are almost entitled to these taxpayer resources. And when 2453 02:15:47.239 --> 02:15:49.840 you come in and you ask questions, they like to 2454 02:15:49.880 --> 02:15:52.800 pretend like they're these global do gooders and they're saying, oh, 2455 02:15:52.880 --> 02:15:55.760 but this poor person is going to lose access to 2456 02:15:55.800 --> 02:15:57.239 these resources. 2457 02:15:56.640 --> 02:15:57.479 That they really need. 2458 02:15:57.840 --> 02:16:00.760 Meanwhile, that person isn't even getting the fund to the 2459 02:16:00.760 --> 02:16:03.279 extent they're getting any it's barely enough to actually live. 2460 02:16:03.359 --> 02:16:04.760 But you know what's coming off the top. 2461 02:16:05.079 --> 02:16:06.920 A fair amount is coming off the top and going 2462 02:16:06.960 --> 02:16:10.840 to nonprofits that either pad them personally or their relatives 2463 02:16:10.920 --> 02:16:13.279 or just grow the power of the left, which is 2464 02:16:13.399 --> 02:16:14.439 ultimately what they want. 2465 02:16:14.760 --> 02:16:18.399 Yeah, non governmental organizations NGOs, you know, and quite the 2466 02:16:18.399 --> 02:16:20.920 old we're five oh one c three, we're not for profit. Yeah, 2467 02:16:20.960 --> 02:16:22.640 but you're making a salary of four hundred and five 2468 02:16:22.680 --> 02:16:25.720 hundred thousand dollars a year, is president or CEO the 2469 02:16:26.039 --> 02:16:29.159 five o' one C three. I mean, that's what's happening. 2470 02:16:30.760 --> 02:16:34.000 Yeah, that's exactly right. And it's it's so discussing. 2471 02:16:34.120 --> 02:16:37.000 It's so many of them is going to the spouses 2472 02:16:37.120 --> 02:16:40.200 of people. Yeah, you know, just just look at the 2473 02:16:40.239 --> 02:16:44.120 net worth of someone like Samantha Power. She was the administrator, 2474 02:16:44.159 --> 02:16:48.399 that head essentially of USAID, and her net worth grew 2475 02:16:48.680 --> 02:16:50.719 five times. I think that's right. It's around that it's 2476 02:16:50.760 --> 02:16:54.200 a significant number, grew five times. Her salary has been 2477 02:16:54.200 --> 02:16:57.719 the same salaries for bureaucrats are typically capped out around 2478 02:16:57.719 --> 02:17:00.440 one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. Yeah, somehow, Well, she 2479 02:17:00.520 --> 02:17:04.440 has a mass a multi million dollar fortune, and it 2480 02:17:04.479 --> 02:17:07.000 just leaves you scratching your head, huh, where did that 2481 02:17:07.079 --> 02:17:09.840 money come from? And it's most likely because it was 2482 02:17:09.879 --> 02:17:12.600 funneled to nonprofits of what she or her family was 2483 02:17:12.639 --> 02:17:15.200 sitting on the board and they get to reap the 2484 02:17:15.239 --> 02:17:18.399 benefits of millions of dollars of taxpayer funds going into 2485 02:17:18.399 --> 02:17:21.159 their back pocket, and they cover it up by saying, well, 2486 02:17:21.319 --> 02:17:24.040 we're helping the poor in the world, We're giving people 2487 02:17:24.079 --> 02:17:27.200 in Africa access to water and food. But really they 2488 02:17:27.200 --> 02:17:29.520 are just patting their own personal coffers. 2489 02:17:30.120 --> 02:17:31.920 Well, and as I read through the list of these 2490 02:17:31.959 --> 02:17:34.520 things that the Doge has revealed and the comments from 2491 02:17:34.559 --> 02:17:38.719 the senators that you know, I had no idea that 2492 02:17:38.799 --> 02:17:40.959 this money was being spent this way, And I said, 2493 02:17:40.959 --> 02:17:44.159 wait a second, aren't she responsible for the power of 2494 02:17:44.159 --> 02:17:47.280 the purse? Mean, you go ahead and you allocate forty 2495 02:17:47.319 --> 02:17:50.799 million dollars to USA, but then you stop. Somebody had 2496 02:17:50.840 --> 02:17:53.360 to approve the project. But ultimately, you know, twenty million 2497 02:17:53.399 --> 02:17:55.479 dollars goes to a sesame street show in a rock 2498 02:17:56.319 --> 02:17:58.159 And then how much of that twenty million dollars really 2499 02:17:58.159 --> 02:17:59.840 went to the sesame street show in a rock fort. 2500 02:18:00.000 --> 02:18:03.559 Actually it didn't land in some corrupt officials pocket. They 2501 02:18:03.559 --> 02:18:05.959 don't follow the trail of the money, and so it 2502 02:18:06.079 --> 02:18:09.239 just stops once the aid's been allocated to the general 2503 02:18:09.360 --> 02:18:11.760 collective us AID fund. 2504 02:18:12.680 --> 02:18:16.680 Yeah, that's right, and it's there's no accountability and no oversight. 2505 02:18:16.760 --> 02:18:18.959 And that's why you see the people who are screaming 2506 02:18:18.959 --> 02:18:21.479 the most, or the ones who have the most to 2507 02:18:21.559 --> 02:18:25.600 lose in terms of this personal racket or money laundering scheme, 2508 02:18:25.639 --> 02:18:28.520 if you will, that that is what it is. These 2509 02:18:28.559 --> 02:18:32.120 people are using their positions of trust and consequence to 2510 02:18:32.200 --> 02:18:35.000 siphon money off to the side to their benefit. And 2511 02:18:35.680 --> 02:18:39.879 they use stories of people that most people would say like, yeah, 2512 02:18:40.079 --> 02:18:42.280 they could use some help, or of course we would 2513 02:18:42.319 --> 02:18:44.600 want to take care of these vulnerable populations. 2514 02:18:44.920 --> 02:18:45.760 They use that. 2515 02:18:45.760 --> 02:18:48.079 As a cover for their own sick game. 2516 02:18:48.280 --> 02:18:50.920 And those are the people who are sitting outside of 2517 02:18:51.040 --> 02:18:54.159 USAID or some of these other areas that are throwing 2518 02:18:54.239 --> 02:18:56.840 up their hands, and the Democrat members of Congress who 2519 02:18:56.840 --> 02:18:59.760 are at the front of the line because they are 2520 02:18:59.799 --> 02:19:04.559 recipients of campaign donations from these people who are putting 2521 02:19:04.600 --> 02:19:06.360 taxpayer resources. 2522 02:19:05.799 --> 02:19:06.600 In their own pocket. 2523 02:19:06.840 --> 02:19:09.440 Yeah, and that's the to me, that is the most 2524 02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:12.559 I don't want I want to call it comical that 2525 02:19:12.600 --> 02:19:15.000 they're screaming at the top of their lungs over these 2526 02:19:15.040 --> 02:19:19.719 funds being identified, these outlandish, outrageous programs that no American 2527 02:19:19.799 --> 02:19:23.040 could find straight faced legitimate. They're not saying that the 2528 02:19:23.120 --> 02:19:26.639 money didn't go to these stupid programs like shrimp running 2529 02:19:26.680 --> 02:19:31.000 on treadmills. They're just screaming about the general focus on 2530 02:19:31.200 --> 02:19:33.920 USA and the fraud, waste abuse and defending it for 2531 02:19:33.959 --> 02:19:36.920 some reason. Just there's there's no denial here. There's no 2532 02:19:37.040 --> 02:19:40.280 that didn't happen. That's a lie. Elon Musk is making 2533 02:19:40.319 --> 02:19:40.799 that up. 2534 02:19:41.520 --> 02:19:48.680 It's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's just frustrating to see. 2535 02:19:48.719 --> 02:19:51.319 And I will say though, it's it's frustrating to see 2536 02:19:51.319 --> 02:19:53.520 some of the reaction, but you know, those people are 2537 02:19:53.559 --> 02:19:57.079 in the minority now and that is a really wonderful feeling, and. 2538 02:19:57.040 --> 02:19:59.239 The cats out of the bag. I mean, again, those 2539 02:19:59.280 --> 02:20:00.879 of us who are on the inside. 2540 02:20:01.399 --> 02:20:03.120 Some of it was the fact that we didn't really 2541 02:20:03.200 --> 02:20:06.079 understand the links the deep State would go to cover 2542 02:20:06.319 --> 02:20:09.719 their tracks, and they had decades to figure out ways 2543 02:20:09.719 --> 02:20:11.840 to cover up their tracks, and they're very very good 2544 02:20:11.879 --> 02:20:12.159 at it. 2545 02:20:12.239 --> 02:20:15.360 So we were all in there. You know, you're drinking. 2546 02:20:15.079 --> 02:20:18.159 From a fire hose is the words people often used 2547 02:20:18.159 --> 02:20:20.520 to describe what it's like to go into these positions, 2548 02:20:20.920 --> 02:20:23.680 and a lot of us went in not knowing that 2549 02:20:23.760 --> 02:20:26.559 the tricks that the Deep State would use not just 2550 02:20:26.600 --> 02:20:29.840 to confuse, but to try to undermine and to hide 2551 02:20:30.280 --> 02:20:31.600 what they were actually doing. 2552 02:20:31.719 --> 02:20:33.239 All that's over. So it really is. 2553 02:20:33.200 --> 02:20:37.000 Great to see Elon Musk, his team, Department of Government Efficiency, 2554 02:20:37.079 --> 02:20:40.760 and most importantly, the American people see this and they're 2555 02:20:40.799 --> 02:20:43.559 behind the President and his work one hundred and ten percent. 2556 02:20:43.760 --> 02:20:47.200 Yeah, and you know it as well as I do. Yeah, Mandy, 2557 02:20:47.520 --> 02:20:50.319 that they've only scratched the surface. I mean, Elon Musk 2558 02:20:50.360 --> 02:20:53.360 has identified some real low hanging fruit just in one 2559 02:20:53.479 --> 02:20:56.040 USA department. I mentioned the Treasury Department. He's worked there 2560 02:20:56.079 --> 02:20:58.360 as long as he can get his access back centers 2561 02:20:58.399 --> 02:21:03.559 for Medicare and Medicaid Service, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Department 2562 02:21:03.600 --> 02:21:06.959 of Energy, and Lord Almighty, nobody wants me more, that 2563 02:21:07.079 --> 02:21:09.879 wants the military spending to be audited more than me. 2564 02:21:10.200 --> 02:21:12.760 They can't even pass an audit seven or eight times 2565 02:21:12.760 --> 02:21:13.680 in a row. Mandy. 2566 02:21:15.360 --> 02:21:17.520 I know, and I'm sure I'm sure you've seen. 2567 02:21:17.520 --> 02:21:20.719 There was an interview not too long ago of one 2568 02:21:20.719 --> 02:21:25.120 of the uh, one of the heads, one of the 2569 02:21:25.120 --> 02:21:28.600 people who was responsible for these types of audits, and 2570 02:21:29.000 --> 02:21:31.000 you know, she was just incredulous that. 2571 02:21:30.920 --> 02:21:32.520 People would wouldn't trust them. 2572 02:21:32.600 --> 02:21:35.120 Yeah, we felled audits, but you don't understand what an 2573 02:21:35.120 --> 02:21:38.079 audit is is essentially her response, and it doesn't really matter. 2574 02:21:38.520 --> 02:21:40.840 Like again, this goes through there's this culture of people 2575 02:21:41.000 --> 02:21:45.079 in DC that are so arrogant and so flippant about 2576 02:21:45.120 --> 02:21:48.639 their very real responsibility. And when people come around asking 2577 02:21:48.799 --> 02:21:51.479 basic questions that they cannot answer. 2578 02:21:51.600 --> 02:21:54.840 Uh, they just they try to belittle you to. 2579 02:21:54.680 --> 02:21:57.280 Say that, well, you don't really understand it. If you were, 2580 02:21:57.319 --> 02:21:59.879 if you were like me, you would understand. So yeah, look, 2581 02:22:00.360 --> 02:22:02.159 Elon Musk is scratching the surface. 2582 02:22:02.399 --> 02:22:03.120 This type of. 2583 02:22:03.360 --> 02:22:07.680 Misuse and miss expenditure of funds. 2584 02:22:08.000 --> 02:22:10.200 It permeates every single agency. 2585 02:22:10.239 --> 02:22:12.360 So there's a lot more to come and I'm excited 2586 02:22:12.399 --> 02:22:14.040 to see it, for it to finally be exposed. 2587 02:22:14.120 --> 02:22:16.079 A lot more to come and maybe even I'll keep 2588 02:22:16.120 --> 02:22:19.520 my fingers crossed some criminal investigations into where this money 2589 02:22:19.520 --> 02:22:23.159 has landed. Manny gives the car author of Y'all Fired, 2590 02:22:23.159 --> 02:22:26.079 A Southern Bell's Guide to Restoring Federalism and draining the swamp. 2591 02:22:26.440 --> 02:22:28.680 She had an advance on Doge. This is what the 2592 02:22:28.680 --> 02:22:31.200 book's about. And I'm sure, I said, I know she's 2593 02:22:31.239 --> 02:22:33.840 seeing it just come all to fruition with it being 2594 02:22:33.920 --> 02:22:36.200 ferreted out. Mandy. I got your book up on my 2595 02:22:36.239 --> 02:22:37.879 blog page, but if I have cares dot com so 2596 02:22:37.920 --> 02:22:39.319 people can get a copy of it to the extent 2597 02:22:39.360 --> 02:22:41.680 they haven't done it already, and I'll encourage them to 2598 02:22:41.719 --> 02:22:43.840 do so. It's been great here talking with you. Keep 2599 02:22:43.879 --> 02:22:47.000 up the great work and looking forward to another volume 2600 02:22:47.040 --> 02:22:50.239 maybe uh something like along the aftermath lines. 2601 02:22:52.000 --> 02:22:55.159 Yeah, what it's like after y'all fired. Yeah, well we'll 2602 02:22:55.159 --> 02:22:56.760 come up with a goods out. But thank you, thanks 2603 02:22:56.799 --> 02:22:58.120 for having me and thanks for the support. 2604 02:22:58.360 --> 02:23:00.079 Well pleasure, Mandy. It's been a real true he
