Speaker 2: your best tomorrow possible. That's boundless care for better outcomes,
Speaker 2: expect more, and you see health dot Com. Highways doing fine.
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing any problems to deal with there as
Speaker 2: of yet for your Thursday morning commute. But a three
Speaker 2: car accident on Beakman at Hoppole Pass. Both fire and
Speaker 2: public saw on the scene. One of the cars caught fire.
Speaker 2: Chuck Ingraman fifty five KRE see the talk station.
Speaker 1: Hey six thirty fifty five KRC DE talk station. Great
Speaker 1: day to being Time to be tuned into fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC Morning show Man. We all love here. In the
Speaker 1: greater Cincinnati area and people love throughout this country and
Speaker 1: this great land of ours. Welcome back, former Secretary of
Speaker 1: State of Ohio, Treasure of Ohio, former mayor of the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati, and someone who's never ever stopped working.
Speaker 1: He's with the senior fella with Family Research Council. Welcome back,
Speaker 1: Ken Blackwell. It's always a pleasure having you on the show.
Speaker 3: Top of the Money and Brian good to be with you.
Speaker 1: Your reaction, how'd you feel when the when when when
Speaker 1: Monday finally rolled around and Donald Trump got sworn? In
Speaker 1: my reactions, I quite literally, sir, felt like a weight
Speaker 1: had been lifted. As I've been walking around for the
Speaker 1: past four years with this tense concern for our country
Speaker 1: and the direction that is going. It's almost as if
Speaker 1: someone flipped the switch on.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, and that's a that's a good way of
Speaker 3: looking at it, because once that switch was flipped, a
Speaker 3: ball of energy and intelligence hit the White House and
Speaker 3: he's he just has been working. You know, this guy
Speaker 3: is not only a business tycoon and a developer. He
Speaker 3: understands some very fund principles and he actually understands American history.
Speaker 3: Everybody a lot of people, particularly on the left, thought
Speaker 3: he was this looney tune when he said, you know,
Speaker 3: we're going to put off on the table to denmark
Speaker 3: to the person's a part of their property. Well neghbrase,
Speaker 3: Oh he can't do that. Well hind the heck, dude.
Speaker 3: People just don't remember that we purchased Russia from Russia
Speaker 3: in eighteen sixty seven. Alaska.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they regret selling it to us, But
Speaker 1: you're right, it can be done. And to your point
Speaker 1: about him being a businessman, it's like the Bengals. You know,
Speaker 1: you ask huge, and you expect your initial ask to
Speaker 1: be whittled away. That's when the negotiation process comes in.
Speaker 1: So he says he wants to buy it. But look
Speaker 1: what's happened. The folks Greenland, by you know, it's been
Speaker 1: widely reported, may not be all fired up about being
Speaker 1: purchased by the United States, but it has spurred an
Speaker 1: independence movement in their country, and they also suggest that
Speaker 1: they want closer ties to the United States. The reason
Speaker 1: Trump wants it won there's all kinds of natural resources
Speaker 1: there that could be tapped in which are not being
Speaker 1: tapped in. But also because of strategic significance in connection
Speaker 1: with global affairs. So if they want to embrace the
Speaker 1: United States and become closer with US, it all starts
Speaker 1: with a question, with a statement like I want to
Speaker 1: buy Greenland.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, you know, he's the master of the transaction.
Speaker 3: The other thing that he really understands is that capital
Speaker 3: seeks the pay at least at least resistance and greatest opportunity.
Speaker 3: He's not the first to understand that. Reagan understood it,
Speaker 3: but Trump has been living that principle and understanding that
Speaker 3: for all of his adult life, and so he understands
Speaker 3: that won we in fact have to cut taxes, you know,
Speaker 3: to make in fact it attractive to invest in the
Speaker 3: US again. The last time around he was able to
Speaker 3: create a climate that brought almost two and a half
Speaker 3: trillion dollars offshore back into the American economy, and Brian
Speaker 3: is off to do it again. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, it's apparently the idea of getting businesses to move
Speaker 1: here seems to be working. That's part of the tariff component.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Trump's position is, listen, if we increase these tariffs, more
Speaker 1: businesses will want to come here and settle up and
Speaker 1: start up here. So was at LG Manufactured electronics manufacturer,
Speaker 1: washing machine manufacturer. I believe it was a Whirlpool or
Speaker 1: whatever moving or are talking about moving their Mexican production
Speaker 1: here to the United States and start producing these items
Speaker 1: in American facilities. I think Solanis is moving the production
Speaker 1: of jeeps back to Illinois if I read that article
Speaker 1: correctly this morning. But it seems to be having an impact. Yes,
Speaker 1: Slantis to reopen Illinois g plants and produced the Dodge
Speaker 1: Durango in Detroit after meeting with Donald Trump moving in here.
Speaker 1: So that's what that's the goal, that's desire and apparently
Speaker 1: is bearing fruit already.
Speaker 3: Well, I tell you, uh, iran for almost four years now.
Speaker 3: Another operation, Another group of thinkers and action oriented people
Speaker 3: that I work with are the folks over at the
Speaker 3: America First Politic Institute that was headed up by by
Speaker 3: Brooke Rollins UH. Linda McMahon was the chairman. New Gingrich
Speaker 3: is on the board. UH, and we've we've been working
Speaker 3: to in fact put in place, UH many of the
Speaker 3: executive orders and the executive actions that this president has
Speaker 3: has has worked on. A group of of of of
Speaker 3: scholars and policy walks UH and administrators came out of
Speaker 3: the excuse me, they came out of the I'm just
Speaker 3: just so pumped up about it. All right, It's okay.
Speaker 3: Non Trump's don Trump's administration, and in fact said we're
Speaker 3: going to go back, and when we go back, we're
Speaker 3: going to be ready.
Speaker 1: Let's pause. Well, bring Ken Blackwell back. I want to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about energy policy because Trump is
Speaker 1: unleashing the energy that we have right here, and that's certainly,
Speaker 1: from my perspective, is going to create great opportunities for
Speaker 1: more business to come to America. Pause, will bring Ken
Speaker 1: Weell Blackwell back. It's six thirty five right now. If

Speaker 2: car accident on Beakman at Hoppel has both fire and
Speaker 2: publice saw on the scene. One of the cars caught fire.
Speaker 2: Chuck Ingraman fifty five KR see the talk station.
Speaker 1: Sixty nine fifty about KRCD talks station Brian Thomas with
Speaker 1: Ken Blackwell. Always love hearing from Ken Blackwell and Ken
Speaker 1: pivoting over. Obviously, Donald Trump hit the ground running. I
Speaker 1: don't think you can describe it really better than that.
Speaker 1: All these executive orders and praase, Dear God, let this
Speaker 1: be true and let it stick. What appears to be
Speaker 1: the end of this climate change religion used to be
Speaker 1: global warming until the blizzard hit the Southern States. Ken,
Speaker 1: and now it's it's you know it's climate change.
Speaker 3: So uh.
Speaker 1: But you know, pulling us out of the Paris Accord
Speaker 1: got the National Energy Emergency, which opens up millions of
Speaker 1: acres in Alaska. We've got more oil, gas and energy
Speaker 1: in this country than anyplace else on earth, he pointed out.
Speaker 1: And you know, just go ahead and contract you want
Speaker 1: a real time illustration contrasted with what's going on in Germany,
Speaker 1: the former economic powerhouse of the European Union. They can't
Speaker 1: even keep their lights on. Factories literally shut down because
Speaker 1: they cannot afford to pay the energy bill. You don't
Speaker 1: produce goods and services if you can't pay the electric bill.
Speaker 1: And they relying on the wind and solar until ken,
Speaker 1: the wind stops flowing and the sun doesn't shine, then
Speaker 1: they borrow nuclear power from France. Ken.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Look what the President has said that he not
Speaker 3: only wants to make the United States of America energy independent,
Speaker 3: he wants to make us energy dominant. He understands that
Speaker 3: we have the intellectual genius and the natural resources, uh
Speaker 3: to get our economy growing at an accelerated pace. Put
Speaker 3: Americans back to work, giving them ample sovereigns. But one
Speaker 3: of the things that people don't know is that what
Speaker 3: by even in fighting inflation, the energy strategy has a
Speaker 3: high impact. Uh. And so he understands that one of
Speaker 3: the ways that you bring down the cost is in
Speaker 3: fact making understanding what the petroleum and and other energy
Speaker 3: sources go into in terms of agriculture, in terms you know,
Speaker 3: just running our factory.
Speaker 1: So plastic. Can we live without plastic?
Speaker 3: He's he's and look and and the reason I tell
Speaker 3: you all gingas all the time we went back with
Speaker 3: Reagan and Reacan and even Nixon, those folks said we
Speaker 3: will make sure that America that we improved the air
Speaker 3: in America and the water. And I challenge anybody to
Speaker 3: show us where our water and our air is second
Speaker 3: to any in the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's no question about it. And you know, Kennis,
Speaker 1: I've observed many times over the years, wealth is what
Speaker 1: allows you to clean up the environment. When you have
Speaker 1: an abundance of wealth, you can allocate resources to clean
Speaker 1: things up or improve conditions. But you have to have
Speaker 1: the money first, absolutely.
Speaker 3: And President Trump understands that. But what I really like
Speaker 3: about the way he's jump started everything associated with Washington
Speaker 3: d C. Is that this guy never treated any part
Speaker 3: of America a flower a country, right that and so
Speaker 3: he has fundamentally realign the Republican Party base in America
Speaker 3: and he understands that that base, that energy, that imagination,
Speaker 3: that confidence and confidence and pride in America is what's
Speaker 3: going to push this train down the track. And that's
Speaker 3: what people have underestimated this guy, you know he is
Speaker 3: He is the true definition of a blue collar billionaire. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he just his work ethic, his love of the country, uh,
Speaker 3: and his love of Americans, America first is his thing
Speaker 3: and that works.
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing? You know that wasn't that long ago
Speaker 1: that there are Particans of the Republicans with a party
Speaker 1: of you know, elite billionaires and rubbing shoulders with the
Speaker 1: corporate lead. They didn't give a damn about the front
Speaker 1: line Americans. And look at the Republican Party now versus
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party who are surrounded by all of the
Speaker 1: corporate greed.
Speaker 3: Right. It's so funny being in DC and the inauguration
Speaker 3: and to watch a lot of and to listen to
Speaker 3: a so called legacy media h talk about, Oh isn't
Speaker 3: it awful? Look at it? Look at it. Look at
Speaker 3: those guys who are those billionaires who are with Trump.
Speaker 3: You know, just a year ago, many of those billionaires
Speaker 3: we are on the other side and they don't complaining
Speaker 3: about them. Then, yeah, but the Trump understands that he
Speaker 3: could create an environment and that most of those folks
Speaker 3: have some intelligence and they in fact want to be
Speaker 3: on the winning team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick here before we part company, can back
Speaker 1: to the energy thing. I am really hopeful. I mean,
Speaker 1: first off, an abundance of energy and resources for generating
Speaker 1: energy will lower our energy bills. These laws of supplying demand.
Speaker 1: If you have a whole lot of it, it becomes less expensive.
Speaker 1: So we'll all get a raise if Trump's policies move forward,
Speaker 1: as I hope they do. But part of this component,
Speaker 1: and it also works within the green religion that's going
Speaker 1: on out there, why can't we build nuclear plants here
Speaker 1: in the United States of America? And I think one
Speaker 1: thing that's going to allow us to unleash that unbelievably
Speaker 1: wonderful energy generation source is artificial intelligence. You know, when
Speaker 1: these billionaires want to build these massive AI facilities, and
Speaker 1: they are, and we need to compete with China in
Speaker 1: the area of AI, and we do. They're talking about
Speaker 1: building their own nuclear facilities to power these plants. Maybe
Speaker 1: that is the key to unlocking us getting this abundant
Speaker 1: energy supply which happens to be carbon neutral.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And that we just close out with this.
Speaker 3: Trump has not just been focused on false appuels. He
Speaker 3: has always said we're going to be utilizing all of
Speaker 3: the above, and so he understands just what you just
Speaker 3: said that in fact, we're going to be where it's nuclear,
Speaker 3: whether it's you know, you can just name it avery source,
Speaker 3: but it's all of the above without a our foundation source.
Speaker 1: Let the smartest ideas in the room prevail and do
Speaker 1: not artificially prevent them with some nonsensical comment about, you know,
Speaker 1: exhalation killing the planet. My take on it. Anyway, Ken Blackwell,
Speaker 1: you are always welcome here in the fifty five Cassey
Speaker 1: Morning showing that my listeners love you in ID two
Speaker 1: and keep up the great work and keep speaking truth,
Speaker 1: well formally truth to power. Now we got truth as
Speaker 1: the dominant message now, don't we.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And let me just close out by saying one
Speaker 3: of the things my dad used to always say, faith
Speaker 3: on tested cannot be trusted. I have an abundant of
Speaker 3: faith in our country and our city, and in our
Speaker 3: people and in our God.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, well stated, and God bless you, sir.

Speaker 1: You can expect your roof and you should have Fast
Speaker 1: and Pro do it rather than some other roofing company
Speaker 1: which may not be honest. And I've mentioned years a
Speaker 1: year after year after year because I've been speaking and
Speaker 1: happily speaking on behalf of Fast and Pro. They are
Speaker 1: just a bunch of con artists out in the roofing business.
Speaker 1: It's just so easy to scam people. And I think
Speaker 1: of like a senior citizen for example. I mean, you
Speaker 1: may be young enough you can get and climb up
Speaker 1: around your roof and you may know what you're looking
Speaker 1: for in terms of problems you might encounter, but you're
Speaker 1: like me, you don't want to go up there and
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're looking for. But a senior
Speaker 1: may not even position. If they know everything there is
Speaker 1: to know about roof and you get up on the roof,
Speaker 1: well they might get scammed. Don't go down that road.
Speaker 1: Call Ray and amand at Fast and Pro Roof and
Speaker 1: they have an outstanding team. I cannot imagine roofing being
Speaker 1: done better than the craftsmen level roofing you get with
Speaker 1: Fast and Pro, whether it's residential or commercial, regardless of
Speaker 1: what type of roof you have, if it needs to
Speaker 1: be replaced, you could go with a metal roof and
Speaker 1: replace in your shingle roof. That's an option. They do
