Speaker 2: I'm the dude man.
Speaker 1: You may be is not quite off a note, I
Speaker 1: am not. I am Brian Thomas, host to the thirty
Speaker 1: five Heresy Morning Show. Je Drecker is. I think he's
Speaker 1: in the production booth. Camera's not working in there. I
Speaker 1: can't see him. I still miss the old days when
Speaker 1: I could look up and look through a window and
Speaker 1: see just Drecker and obscene hand gestures exchange back and forth.
Speaker 3: No longer the case.
Speaker 1: Anyhow, great day in the program this morning, thanks to
Speaker 1: Joe for a lineup guest. We're gonna hear from Ken
Speaker 1: Cober this morning. FOP President Ken Cober, responding to the
Speaker 1: we have to have par bol claims that the Sincint
Speaker 1: Police are not going to be assisting Immigrations and Customs
Speaker 1: enforcement agents in connection with rounding up illegal immigrants. Real
Speaker 1: they or won't they? More on that moment, We've got
Speaker 1: Lynn Arnold. She is a fantastic lady, really involved with
Speaker 1: the Young Mariness program. One's going to be in studio
Speaker 1: to offer congratulations to the Young Marine Donovan and Neil
Speaker 1: Americans for prosperity returns and seven point thirty here from
Speaker 1: Donovan quite often today support for Ohio Senate Bill three.
Speaker 1: And also something that I'm supportive of, a flat tax.
Speaker 1: Damn tax code. Get rid of all of it and
Speaker 1: just charge everyone X amount. No rideouts, no deductions, no incentives,
Speaker 1: no manipulation of our behavior thanks to the tax code.
Speaker 1: Just a flat ray bomb gets over. Why can't we
Speaker 1: have that? And I'm sorry for the accountants in the
Speaker 1: world who will be deprived of employment. I just have
Speaker 1: to put you in the same area as the coal
Speaker 1: industry workers who no longer have a job because of
Speaker 1: government policy. Sorry, it's just it's just you know, you're
Speaker 1: smart enough you can go out and find some other
Speaker 1: means of employment. I feel very confident confident in that,
Speaker 1: and so can the folks that do the turbo tax
Speaker 1: program every year. Al Knipper, uh seven forty al Knipper
Speaker 1: remember him from the railroad fight. Yes, of course we do.
Speaker 1: He's got comments about Hyde Park development, the Connected Communities
Speaker 1: program landing in Hyde Park apparently where they want to
Speaker 1: do a development of a much larger multi family unit
Speaker 1: as well as a hotel and some residents they are
Speaker 1: saying not in my backyard. Huh. Maybe need to change
Speaker 1: the makeup of Cincinnati City Council since they're the ones
Speaker 1: that passed that ordinance. And speaking of that, Brian Patrick
Speaker 1: frank yesterday in the program he's running from mayor of
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati under the Republican banner. I know
Speaker 1: that's an uphill challenge. I thought of Sissyphis right away
Speaker 1: on that one. Brian Patrick Frankie didnt get a chance
Speaker 1: to listen to Brian his thoughts and comments podcast fifty
Speaker 1: five careseea dot com along with Judge Napolitano, Frank abrams
Speaker 1: with the book The Cockfight. He's a defense lawyer and
Speaker 1: it's a work of fiction, but it outlines the realities
Speaker 1: of what happens when someone is wrongfully accused. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: downside of that is absolutely tragic. Plus the big Picture
Speaker 1: with Jack adad In, John Stoolittle raiders subject matter for
Speaker 1: Jack that's there at the fifty five car Sea dot
Speaker 1: com as well. Fast forward to eight oh five John Gordon,
Speaker 1: host of the syndicated show The Truth with John Gordon,
Speaker 1: who's a national topics analyst. We'll talk about Trump's first
Speaker 1: weeks and finally of course, and the timing couldn't be better.
Speaker 3: As tragic as it is.
Speaker 1: I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattliff and got a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of topics to talk about Moon. And we'll
Speaker 1: add two topic, the Reagan Washington National Airport crash, which
Speaker 1: we'll get to here in a moment.
Speaker 3: Among the topics.
Speaker 1: With jay Booms SuperSonics test flight successful, it flew.
Speaker 3: Faster than the speed of sound.
Speaker 1: Man could face a ten year prison sentence for attacking
Speaker 1: an airline. Gate agent idiot Jeff Blue offering a cash
Speaker 1: incentive for their captains to retire Early Frontier Airlines making
Speaker 1: a second effort to swallow up and buy Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 1: And finally we will get hub delays, which of course
Speaker 1: I suspect Reagan International or Reagan Washington National Airport will
Speaker 1: be among those. So the search and rescue effort is
Speaker 1: still underway. You probably know about this, but if you're
Speaker 1: just waking up, this is insane, and it's captured on video.
Speaker 1: As you might imagine, there's so many cameras out in
Speaker 1: the world. You know, I was watching the video of
Speaker 1: this collision happened between a commercial flight psa Airlines bombardier
Speaker 1: cr J seven hundred regional jet ran right into a
Speaker 1: so of course the eight six helicopter while on approach
Speaker 1: runway thirty three at regular International Reaguan National Airport. Happened
Speaker 1: at nine pm last evening. I was asleep, but the
Speaker 1: video of it is is just and the exchange between
Speaker 1: the air traffic controllers and the pilots just really puzzling.
Speaker 1: How in God's name could this have possibly happened. You
Speaker 1: can see the helicopter flying in a straight line, you know,
Speaker 1: and the jet approaching as it gets ready to land
Speaker 1: on runway thirty three, and they just the jet and
Speaker 1: the helicopter just boom right into each other. When you
Speaker 1: think of all the massive airspace around, I mean, for
Speaker 1: a helicopter and a jet to collide like that, it
Speaker 1: just seems impossible to believe. Accord to FAA, the jet
Speaker 1: again ran into the plane. I ran into the helicopter.
Speaker 1: Nine pm, THESA, operating as flight fifty three forty two
Speaker 1: for American Airlines, took off from Wichita, Kansas. Trump released
Speaker 1: the statement shortly after I have been fully briefed on
Speaker 1: the terrible action which just took place at Reagan National Airport.
Speaker 1: May God bless their souls. We thank the first responders
Speaker 1: for the work they were doing, but they're not doing
Speaker 1: any work now. As I was coming into the work
Speaker 1: this morning, no ambulances departing the scene. They were just
Speaker 1: sitting there. I think they reported like one or two boats.
Speaker 1: We're floating around the water, maybe trying to find folks,
Speaker 1: but I think they've written everyone off. Sixty passengers and
Speaker 1: four crew members on the aircraft, and apparently the helicopter
Speaker 1: had three folks on it. Three soldiers on the helicopter
Speaker 1: at the time of the crash, court in an Army official,
Speaker 1: American Airlines said in a statement, are concerns for the
Speaker 1: passengers and crew aboard the aircraft. Were in contact with
Speaker 1: authorities and assisting with the emergency responts. But again, as
Speaker 1: the passage of time went on, it seems as though
Speaker 1: they've written off the idea that anyone could have possibly survived.
Speaker 1: Army issued a state but we can confirm the aircraft
Speaker 1: involved in tonight's incident was an Army UH sixty helicopter
Speaker 1: from Bravo Company twelve Aviasian Battalion out of Davidson Army Airfield,
Speaker 1: Fort Belvard during a training flight working with local officials
Speaker 1: and will provide additional information once it's available. The UH
Speaker 1: sixty Sikorski, a four blade, twin engine medium lift utility
Speaker 1: military helicopter, can carry up to fifteen people, although as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, not that many on board as of last evening.
Speaker 1: Late they said in a press conference, flights will resume
Speaker 1: from the airport around eleven o'clock this morning. That remains
Speaker 1: to be seen, but also at the time of the crash,
Speaker 1: clear skies and all the video that you can watch
Speaker 1: yourself does certainly confirm that visibility of ten miles wins
Speaker 1: sixteen miles per hour, a few gusts, though occasionally I
Speaker 1: don't think that had anything to do with it when
Speaker 1: you watch the trajectory of the aircraft and the helicopter.
Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted that he has directed US
Speaker 1: Department of Transportation and FA to provide full support to
Speaker 1: the National Transportation and Safety Board in investigating this.
Speaker 3: I have spoken with Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Mayor Browser, Virginia Governor Yonkin, Kansas Governor Kelly and Tsbach,
Speaker 1: Air Homedy, Home, and DY to offer agencies complete assistance,
Speaker 1: he wrote an a post. Apparently the Washington Phildolph National
Speaker 1: Capital Response Squad responding to an aviation incident. According to
Speaker 1: the FBI, Homeland Security Secretary Christy Numb said every available
Speaker 1: US Coast Guard resource was being deployed to assist with
Speaker 1: search and rescue efforts. But again, as of the you
Speaker 1: know the drive time reporting as I was coming in,
Speaker 1: it looks as though those efforts have ended now a
Speaker 1: few minutes before landing, air traffic controllers asked the arriving
Speaker 1: commercial jeff it could land on a shorter run day
Speaker 1: runway was runway thirty three. Pilots said yeah, that was fine.
Speaker 1: They cleared the pile. The controllers then cleared the plane
Speaker 1: to land on that runway, and flight tracking sites showed
Speaker 1: the plane adjust its approach to the new runway as
Speaker 1: one might expect. Audio air traffic control towel around the
Speaker 1: time of the craft, the controllers heard asking the helicopter,
Speaker 1: the helicopter pat twenty five, you have this CRJ. That's
Speaker 1: the aircraft. You have the CRJ in sight, Apparently, cording
Speaker 1: to Fox News, the helicopter did respond, but on a
Speaker 1: different free frequency one that is used for helicopters. Tower
Speaker 1: did you see that one? Another pilot has heard calling
Speaker 1: seconds after the collision. Trump had this to say later
Speaker 1: on social media. The airplane was on a perfect and
Speaker 1: routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter going
Speaker 1: straight at the airplane for an extended period of time.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I saw in the video. It's
Speaker 1: a clear night. Lights on the plane were blazing. Why
Speaker 1: didn't the helicopter go up, down or turn? Why didn't
Speaker 1: the control taler tell the helicopter what to do instead
Speaker 1: of asking if they saw the plane. This is a
Speaker 1: bad situation. It looks like it should have been prevented.
Speaker 1: Not good and not good is in all caps with
Speaker 1: three exclamation points from the president. American Airlines issued to
Speaker 1: statement saying it's go team was headed to the area
Speaker 1: and that the CEO, Robert Eisen, would be on his
Speaker 1: way to the scene shortly. They also spent a set
Speaker 1: up a special helpline for friends and family. That's the
Speaker 1: first time there's been a crash involming US commercial airliners
Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine, which was the Colgian Air
Speaker 1: flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Buffalo, which stalled and
Speaker 1: crash during a landing approach near Buffalo. Niagara International Airport
Speaker 1: on February twelve, two thousand and nine, killing all forty
Speaker 1: five passengers and four crew member.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm reminded.
Speaker 1: I think Jay Rattloff had mentioned that we had gone
Speaker 1: through one of the longest periods of time without a
Speaker 1: domestic aviation crash. This has been a conversation we've had
Speaker 1: several times over the past month or two or three,
Speaker 1: and I always felt like knocking wood when he said that.
Speaker 1: Well interested very much so in hearing what Jay has
Speaker 1: to say about that this morning. How could that have
Speaker 1: possibly happened? The answer made lie in the comments of
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliff eight thirty for that five one three, seven
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three
Speaker 1: talk goth pound five fifty on AT and T funds.
Speaker 1: Maybe you got a comment, Feel free to call. Love
Speaker 1: hearing from folks, love the exchange. Don't go away. I'll
Speaker 1: be right back in a mostly coody Saturday high of
Speaker 1: forty five right now, twenty seven degrees.
Speaker 3: If it's a five karri CD talk.
Speaker 1: Station five twenty fifty five kr CD talk station, feel
Speaker 1: free to call five one three, seven four nine fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred and eighty two three talk pound
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T funds. I don't bite.
Speaker 1: Je Drekker's having some troubles this morning. In addition to
Speaker 1: the camera not working, apparently his computer crashed. Could make
Speaker 1: things challenging this morning. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Hang
Speaker 1: in there, Judge Drekker, Hang in there, and he's going
Speaker 1: to the clinker. Judge Sidney Stein sentenced Democratic former Democratic
Speaker 1: Senator Bob Andnendez. He's getting eleven years in prison. Happened yesterday,
Speaker 1: concluding the trial for the long running bribery and foreign
Speaker 1: influence scheme of rare gravity, said the judge. Prosecutors had
Speaker 1: asked for a fifteen year sentence, and Mendez seventy one
Speaker 1: years old, so he's probably going to be dead before
Speaker 1: the eleven years are served. Convicted back in July last year,
Speaker 1: sixteen counts of bribery, extortion, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice.
Speaker 1: First US senator in American history to be convicted of
Speaker 1: working as a foreign agent his co defendants, while Hannah
Speaker 1: and fred Dibies were sentenced to eight and seven years, respectively.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors in a statement has proven of trial the defendants
Speaker 1: engaged for years an a corruption and foreign influenced scheme
Speaker 1: of stunning brazenness, breath, and duration, resulting in exceptionally grave
Speaker 1: abuses of power at the highest levels of the legislative
Speaker 1: branch in the United States government. You probably can say
Speaker 1: that about Joe Biden at the executive branch. Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: but obviously we're not going to get any convictions of
Speaker 1: the Biden crime family. Joe Biden, of course, cognitively appaired
Speaker 1: so much so that he couldn't be prosecuted. I remember
Speaker 1: that one. He couldn't run for president either, and of
Speaker 1: course he pardoned his entire family. So I still hope
Speaker 1: the investigations take place, quite honestly. An Endes conviction after
Speaker 1: a nine week trial. He was accused of accepting gifts
Speaker 1: totally more than one hundred thousand dollars in gold, bars
Speaker 1: and cash. Accused and convicted of participating in the year's
Speaker 1: long bribery scheme involving the governments of Egypt and Cutter.
Speaker 1: His wife, set to go to trial March eighteenth, also
Speaker 1: allegedly participated in the scheme. She's accused of receiving paycheck
Speaker 1: for a job that didn't exist prosecutors. Ahead of sentencing,
Speaker 1: he had this to say. Menendez, who swore an oath
Speaker 1: to represent the United States in the state of New Jersey,
Speaker 1: instead put his high office up for sale in exchange
Speaker 1: for his horde of bribes. Yeah, remarkable parallels there to
Speaker 1: Menendez and the Biden crime. Fairly family.
Speaker 3: Huh uh.
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden checked the laptop out. If you don't believe me,
Speaker 1: it's right there in black and white. He was charged
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three accus of accepting gifts again
Speaker 1: totally more than one hundred thousand dollars in gold bars
Speaker 1: and cash. Well, good cautionary tale for other members of
Speaker 1: the Senate and the House who might be similarly involved
Speaker 1: in that conduct. And you really have to ask yourself
Speaker 1: out loud, and it's been documented over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. How could someone go to Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: One hundred and seventy five thousand dollars salary and leave Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. After some lengthy period of time getting elected
Speaker 1: to real life that as a multi millionaire.
Speaker 3: How does that happen?
Speaker 1: Insider trading maybe or maybe acting as a foreign agent.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden wasn't even elected official, and he geted up
Speaker 1: landing millions and millions of dollars in foreign payments. Why, well,
Speaker 1: the Biden name, you know, it's irrefutable. The man had
Speaker 1: no skill set. Look at the gas prompt situation, the
Speaker 1: Ukrainian gas red production facility. How in the hell did
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden land on the board of directors for that one? Huh?
Speaker 1: Anything untoward going on here?
Speaker 3: Maybe just a little bit.
Speaker 1: Got the American well, I guess, you know, maybe the
Speaker 1: American population was paying attention and recognized this. Although Joe
Speaker 1: Biden wasn't running against Donald Trump. Donald Trump won a
Speaker 1: decisive victory without question. I think we've had enough of this.
Speaker 1: We've been we're fed up in scruption must end. How
Speaker 1: can I keep going? Joe's computer's not working, so we
Speaker 1: can't take a commercial break. So quite honestly, I would
Speaker 1: love to hear from you if you want to comment
Speaker 1: or say something, or fill in the time space. It's
Speaker 1: a little bit frustrating this morning. I see Steve's calling in.
Speaker 1: We'll take Steve's call and I'll fast forward to local stories.
Speaker 1: If I sound a bit frustrated, think you understand. In
Speaker 1: anticipation of Ken Kober joining the program comingup with six
Speaker 1: thirty since the mayor, aftab Perval confirmed to Fox nineteen
Speaker 1: reporting thank you, Mike Schell at Fox nineteen, the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Police will not cooperate with ICE agents and the removal
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants. Great, of course, we've been a designated
Speaker 1: sanctuary city.
Speaker 3: Did you get a chance to vote on that?
Speaker 1: By the way, any of my fellow my friends in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati, who can vote on CINCINNTI council
Speaker 1: race and the mayor's race and have a vested interest
Speaker 1: in matters within the city of Cincinnati, did you vote
Speaker 1: to become a sanctuary city? No, you didn't. Did you
Speaker 1: profound implications you could virtue signal back in twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: about oh we're at thank you a city, And that's
Speaker 1: before Daddy. You didn't get a say in that, did
Speaker 1: you now? And now your mayor is telling you that
Speaker 1: your police department is not going to help ICE get
Speaker 1: rid of these very dangerous people. This is you know,
Speaker 1: they rounded up five thousand, five hundred criminal migrants in
Speaker 1: less than a week so far, and they're just getting going.
Speaker 1: And it's obvious that ICE knows exactly where these people
Speaker 1: are exactly where they are. They arrested some Mexican national
Speaker 1: convicted of raping a child, Edgar de la Cruz Manzo,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Jordanian nationals expective terroritized the isis.
Speaker 1: They picked him up in Buffalo, MS. Thirteen gang members
Speaker 1: galore as well as the Trey Deuraguar. What the hell?
Speaker 1: These gang members are called wanted for murder from l Salvador.
Speaker 1: That guy was picked up in Los Angeles. Yared Jeremu
Speaker 1: mcconan Ethiopian national and convicted sex offender, wondered for sexual
Speaker 1: abuse and kidnapping, picked up in New Orleans. Oh, look
Speaker 1: all around the United States. A Brazilian national convicted of
Speaker 1: manslaughter arrested in Boston. Seventy three year old one Ojegak Chang,
Speaker 1: Cuban national drug trafficking and weapons charges.
Speaker 3: He was picked up for.
Speaker 1: These are dangerous folks and they should be picked up
Speaker 1: and the mayor of your city after that, pro Ball
Speaker 1: is telling you that your police department will not help
Speaker 1: Ice at all. Let's pause, take a break. Steve, you
Speaker 1: are first out of the gate. Looks like Joe may
Speaker 1: have things back in order. I'll be right back.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 1: In this week's Marketers Report, we hear about five point
Speaker 1: thirty on a Friday, even a happy one, till you're
Speaker 1: going to get straight to the phone before we get
Speaker 1: the local stories. I think Joe's got things sorted out
Speaker 1: in the production room. Computer crashes anyhow, interest it that's
Speaker 1: a tech Friday with Dave had or tomorrow at six thirty,
Speaker 1: and he could solve the problem, I imagine, Steve. Thanks
Speaker 1: for holding over the break and welcome to the program.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your calling this morning.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, when I do call normally, it's in the
Speaker 5: six o'clock hour. If I ever call in the five
Speaker 5: o'clock hour, on my bucket list is never to interrupt
Speaker 5: the stack of stupid, so I try to get it
Speaker 5: in there early enough.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 5: I'm your four cylinder listener. So again, you were on
Speaker 5: four cylinders yesterday and you sound all fired up today,
Speaker 5: so I think I think you're you're coasting downhill and
Speaker 5: you're doing well. Three quick comments if you don't mind,
Speaker 5: And whenever I'm going to call you, I always hear
Speaker 5: you talking and have extra comments to make as long
Speaker 5: as you've got the time. Did did the citizens vote
Speaker 5: to make and I live in Independence, Kentucky. We have
Speaker 5: a normal mayor. But did I wish I lived in
Speaker 5: Fort right, because then Dave Hatter would be my mayor.
Speaker 5: That'd be pretty cool. But he's down this Yeah, he's
Speaker 5: not far away. But did they vote to make him
Speaker 5: a sanctuary city? Yes? And no, because they've got all
Speaker 5: Democrats on city council and the left leaning mayor, so
Speaker 5: in a way they did. I mean, you put idiots
Speaker 5: in there, that's what you get. Wondering will the Cincinnati
Speaker 5: police if there's a blind, ninety year old one legged
Speaker 5: person trying to cross a busy street, will they help
Speaker 5: them cross the street or will they watch them get
Speaker 5: run over by a car. Maybe they should check with
Speaker 5: them and see if they should help. Uh, since they're
Speaker 5: if they catch somebody that is guilty of murder, they
Speaker 5: will turn them loose. But you never know, so what
Speaker 5: you know. But main reason I'm calling Bob Menendez one
Speaker 5: of my favorites. My wife and I watch Dateline and
Speaker 5: it's always like the husband kills the wife, the wife
Speaker 5: kills the husband, whatever, whatever, And you look at their
Speaker 5: home computer and it's like, you know, these searches how
Speaker 5: to poison somebody, how how do kill so, how do
Speaker 5: we erace permanently delete text messages?
Speaker 2: All that?
Speaker 1: You know, all this stuff.
Speaker 5: So Menendez, I remember this on his home computer, he
Speaker 5: was trying to look up what is the price of gold?
Speaker 5: And all the serial numbers on the gold bars were
Speaker 5: traced back to the foreign government that that bribed him
Speaker 5: with those gold bars. So he might not have wanted
Speaker 5: to keep him laying around the house. And it just
Speaker 5: you like the stupidity. Just turn on the A business
Speaker 5: channel and they tell you the price of gold, you know,
Speaker 5: when when they're showing how the markets are doing. But
Speaker 5: he had no he had no idea what the price
Speaker 5: of gold was. But a United States senator, you don't
Speaker 5: need to know it to the exact dollar. But he
Speaker 5: didn't have any idea.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: And my my third and final comment, if I can
Speaker 5: pick on you just because to poke the bear a
Speaker 5: little bit, you're like a bear coming out of hibernation.
Speaker 5: I'm going to poke you. I do work part time.
Speaker 5: I'm retired. I work part time. I'm driving around Monday working.
Speaker 5: I can't call. But of course I'm a faithful listener.
Speaker 5: And you had your business guy, I think Brian James
Speaker 5: and and I was dying to get in there and
Speaker 5: rip you because it was about the thirty two hour week,
Speaker 5: and I'm and yeah, and You're like, hell, are we
Speaker 5: going to go to it? You know, Will Will? Could
Speaker 5: we go to a thirty two? And I'm like, Brian,
Speaker 5: you're you're a twenty hour a week guy, that that'd be.
Speaker 1: It didn't go I saw it.
Speaker 5: I know you work sixty hours a week, but on air,
Speaker 5: and I just thought that it just sounded funny.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. But yeah, this involves a whole lot more
Speaker 1: than the four hours on air, because that's why I
Speaker 1: get up at two thirty. Man, I spend an hour
Speaker 1: and four and a half in front, in front of
Speaker 1: the show, figuring out what happened after I went to
Speaker 1: sleep last night, like the plane crash in Washington, d C.
Speaker 7: And h.
Speaker 1: I spend probably three or four hours in the day
Speaker 1: after the show gathering materials to do the next day's show.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know it sounds easy, but fill in
Speaker 1: four hours, especially when Joe Strucker's computer goes down, and
Speaker 1: see how you like it. It's thirty five Mississippi, James,
Speaker 1: your next my friend hanging there I'll be right with
Speaker 1: you as soon as I break for these brief words.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: It's five thirty nine fifty five KRCD talk station. I'm
Speaker 1: very happy Friday Eve to you. Five on three, seven
Speaker 1: fifty fight hundred eight two three talk found five fifty
Speaker 1: on eight and T five. Over to the phones we
Speaker 1: go in Mississippi. James, Welcome back to the fifty five
Speaker 1: Carecen Morning Shore, my friend, Good.
Speaker 8: Morning doctor Bryan. Okay, Now I have three or four
Speaker 8: fragmented thoughts. I can pull them together for my life,
Speaker 8: but to express them out to other peoples, they may
Speaker 8: seem fragmented. All right, And I'll tell you what. I
Speaker 8: start with your last caller, and he used the metaphor
Speaker 8: you are just like a bear coming out of hibernation.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 8: And I listen at your anger, your frustration of what's
Speaker 8: going on now, soup and pose yourself over a black
Speaker 8: sixty seven year old man from Mississippi. As many times
Speaker 8: as we've had stuff shoved in our fades, down our
Speaker 8: throats or whatever, and you really didn't have no power,
Speaker 8: didn't have no money. You just had to learn to
Speaker 8: coexist with. Now, it seems like society is going to
Speaker 8: a point. It's right in front.
Speaker 4: Of our eyes.
Speaker 8: We're gonna keep dividing ourselves talking about Republican Democrats or
Speaker 8: both of them, do it. I We're gonna separate ourselves
Speaker 8: by class, how much money you got, of religion or sex.
Speaker 8: You know, all these divisions are just a facade to
Speaker 8: keep your mind away from the whatever the real deal is. Yes, sir,
Speaker 8: that's a conversation for another day. So you know, I
Speaker 8: look at that and I say, men, bears, I guess
Speaker 8: you don't have no peoples in high places to.
Speaker 1: Parton him.
Speaker 8: So he may be going down. But that's a shage.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: You're right, we need to need to re look.
Speaker 8: At these presidential partner put some rules in with them.
Speaker 8: Oh can you go in now? We're into pre empty
Speaker 8: party for anything. Ain't that may come down the bike? Yep,
Speaker 8: you know, pardoning your family just broad fifteen hundred partners,
Speaker 8: you know, letting And I used to say all the
Speaker 8: time that that you call it like a drunken frat
Speaker 8: party up at Capital six And I think you're doing
Speaker 8: I mean, January sixth, I think you're doing a disservice
Speaker 8: to it. But I understand your reasoning you had to
Speaker 8: get Trump in there. And yeah, Trump is in there,
Speaker 8: and he's turning over a whole bunch of apple carts. Now,
Speaker 8: is he gonna go too far with what he's doing?
Speaker 8: That's what the America people's need to balance this out.
Speaker 8: But to get that man a cart blanche to do
Speaker 8: whatever he want to do the way he want to
Speaker 8: do it, that's not right. That's not the way our
Speaker 8: system is set up. But yes, we needed Trump because
Speaker 8: the Democrat had gone so far down a rabbit hole
Speaker 8: or slippery slope, whatever metaphor we can use, and they
Speaker 8: didn't have an exit ram go by getting Trump in there,
Speaker 8: Like I said, the pendulum has swung the other way.
Speaker 8: Now he's gonna go too far. Hey, those of us
Speaker 8: that stays in the middle, try to stay sane. You know,
Speaker 8: we look at it and we see how much is
Speaker 8: going to affect us.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a box.
Speaker 8: Well, you got the bob, you know, dimping bob, get
Speaker 8: out the way of this punch that's coming. Yeah, but
Speaker 8: that's life. That's my two cents. But hey, you feeling it, brother,
Speaker 8: you're feeling it, and you're right in this thank you where.
Speaker 1: City you know, yeah, well, you know, listen, that's why
Speaker 1: I said out loud. I was asking the rhetorical question,
Speaker 1: did I know the citizens of Cincinnati didn't vote for
Speaker 1: sanctuary cities in the city the elected officials declared Cincinnati
Speaker 1: a sanctuary city. But look around this great land of ours,
Speaker 1: and look at all the problems that illegal, unchecked, unregulard
Speaker 1: illegal immigration has brought, which has befallen many all Democrats cities,
Speaker 1: and the people are raging and screaming in town hall
Speaker 1: meetings and against their councils and their aldermen, and they're
Speaker 1: elected officials. Look at what you're doing through our communities.
Speaker 1: Look at the millions, if not billions of dollars that
Speaker 1: have been steered to war this problem which should not exist.
Speaker 1: It's affecting our community. That doesn't have a political stripe
Speaker 1: to it. It's just it's people are witnessed to incompetence
Speaker 1: and the tragedy that's befallen their neighborhoods because of unchecked
Speaker 1: on regular illegal immigration. So it ain't the it ain't socialists,
Speaker 1: it ain't green. It's simply a matter of common sense. So,
Speaker 1: you know, frustrating to everybody. It's harmed everybody of all
Speaker 1: political stripes, and most notably as I stare at the
Speaker 1: terrible statistics coming out of the school children and why
Speaker 1: America's schools keep flunking, it has befallen our poor children
Speaker 1: who are trying to get an education because so many
Speaker 1: resources have been directed to deal with the non English
Speaker 1: speaking population that have invaded our schools. James, I do
Speaker 1: appreciate your calls. I truly do, and honestly not a
Speaker 1: whole lot of argument with some of the points you
Speaker 1: made there. Really, let us see here. Local story in
Speaker 1: the stack is stupid. Right on top. I can get
Speaker 1: one in before we take a break. Officer of the
Speaker 1: law relieved of duty for purchasing marijuana while on duty.
Speaker 1: What Toledo, Ohio for this one? Local news WTL fifty
Speaker 1: one year old say Say Jeremy Burnt allegedly seen on

Speaker 1: well not in this particular case. Court documents obtained by
Speaker 1: the news station said Maximum Performance Cycles is not a

Speaker 1: station's reporters that Burnt was a twenty one year old
Speaker 1: veteran who was routinely assigned a field operation charged with
Speaker 1: Toledo Police Chief Michael Tarandell in a statement, this is
Speaker 1: an understatement to say that I was disappointed when I
Speaker 1: was informed that one of our officers was being investigated
Speaker 1: for criminal conduct. Community place is a great trust in
Speaker 1: the over six hundred TOWRN officers of the Toledo Police
Speaker 1: Department to abide and up hold the wall. When an
Speaker 1: officer breaches that trust, they must be held accountable. We
Speaker 1: hold our officers to a high standard of personal and
Speaker 1: professional conduct, and that will always be the case under
Speaker 1: my administration. It's doing idiot things because they're idiot. Charged

Speaker 1: ultimately hit him in the center of his chest. OH
Speaker 1: investigator said the man had no visible injuries from the
Speaker 1: blowney strike, which the video recorded on his phone. Of
Speaker 1: course there's video. Chandler, on probation at the time of
Speaker 1: his bust, reportedly confessed to the blowney sandwich toss inside
Speaker 1: the residence. Thank you, Joe. It's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 1: Normally it would have been a misdemeanor. The alleged battery
Speaker 1: upgraded to felony because of Chandler's multiple prior battery convictions,
Speaker 1: two of which involved video games. No word on whether
Speaker 1: the sandwich had mustard on it. Joe Channel, now facing
Speaker 1: also probation violation charge, being held without bond for throwing
Speaker 1: a sandwich. Miami, Florida landlord allegedly murdered his tenant over
Speaker 1: an argument about a thermostad temperature. Just away, thirty seven
Speaker 1: year old Adam Louise Anson run it out of a

Speaker 1: responders but died. Anson claimed that he acted in self
Speaker 1: defense and only shot Gonzales after the man tried to
Speaker 1: hit him, but police say they found no evidence of
Speaker 1: self defense.
Speaker 6: Perio is the biggest douche of the universe.
Speaker 1: Times in all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche.
Speaker 2: Stan You.
Speaker 1: We go, We stay. In Florida, where a Florida attorney
Speaker 1: recently arrested after an altercation at a buffet line which
Speaker 1: turned physical. Fifty two year old Mark Rower if people
Speaker 1: would just heed that advice, Joe accused of one kind
Speaker 1: of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to the
Speaker 1: Palm Beach County jail records, started with verbal exchange ended
Speaker 1: in violence. Happened January eighteenth during a wedding at the
Speaker 1: Boca Lago Country clb in Boca Ratan as a tradition.
Speaker 1: During the reception, the fendant was allegedly in line at
Speaker 1: the prime rib carving station when two young girls cut.
Speaker 4: In front of him as a tradition.
Speaker 1: He got angry about being being cut in front of
Speaker 1: at the buffet in confront of the father of one
Speaker 1: of the girls, cord to the deputy reporting the slimmer
Speaker 1: man ignored the man yelling at him and did not respond.
Speaker 1: Without provocation, The large bald man struck the slimmer man
Speaker 1: on the head with a dinner plate. From there on,
Speaker 1: a melee began between a large number of the wedding guests.
Speaker 1: As a tradition, man attacked relative. Following version of the events,
Speaker 1: victim then stated that a white male standing behind him
Speaker 1: became upset it was being cut in line, and the
Speaker 1: white male, who was later identified as Mark Stewart Rower,
Speaker 1: walked up to him.
Speaker 3: And began arguing.
Speaker 1: The victim stated that when he was attempting to remove
Speaker 1: himself from the situation, he turned around to avoid further contact.
Speaker 1: The victim than alleged that he was hit over the
Speaker 1: head with a dinner plate and he was shoved while
Speaker 1: off balance. The victim grabbed him by the collar and
Speaker 1: held a plate over his head, but initially initially questioned
Speaker 1: Ror invoked his Miranda rights. During custodial interview later at
Speaker 1: the Palm Beach County Sheriff District seventh substation, he allegedly
Speaker 1: agreed to speak court. To the police report, the defendants
Speaker 1: stated that he was upset that he was being cut
Speaker 1: in line, did get into an argument with the victim
Speaker 1: and admitted to making first contact by pushing the victim,
Speaker 1: although he denied hitting the other man with the plate.
Speaker 1: He did tell the investigators that the reception was a
Speaker 1: dry party. I guess no alcohol involved anyway, what defendant
Speaker 1: made clear to the investigators that he suffered during the
Speaker 1: ecounter attempts as well. Rorr also informed me that he
Speaker 1: had several injuries where he was grabbed and escorted away.
Speaker 1: He mentioned that he was hitting the face under arm
Speaker 1: and shin looked into the jail. Released on a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars bond, just walk away. Oh it's a shame. I've
Speaker 1: got four more stack of stupid stories, but no more time.
Speaker 1: In this segment, got plenty to talk about the six
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, including Ken Cober. FOP president Can Kober returns
Speaker 1: to talk about have to have pro ball, saying the
Speaker 1: insint Police Department will not assist ice agents. Do you
Speaker 1: vote for that? No?
Speaker 3: You didn't, did you? Five fifty five fifty five KRCD
Speaker 3: Talk station News.
Speaker 4: Happens fast, stay up to date at the top of
Speaker 4: the hour. Not can it be complicated?
Speaker 1: It's gonna go very fast.
Speaker 4: Fifty five krc in the talk station.
Speaker 1: Six and six to fifty five KRCD Talk Station.
Speaker 3: Happy Friday.
Speaker 1: E Fron Thomas here welcoming phone call if you care
Speaker 1: to call, love to hear from you five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk.
Speaker 1: Ken Kolber is joining the program at six thirty. He
Speaker 1: will talk about well, since I police generally speaking, since
Speaker 1: he is the FOP president, we'll hear about have to
Speaker 1: have Provoll's comments about since st Police not assisting ice.
Speaker 1: He said, there have been no ice raids in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: as of now, none despite the rumors and conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: But we are prepared, per of all, said, if there
Speaker 1: is an ice rate in our community, there's nothing we
Speaker 1: can do to prevent that based on federal law.
Speaker 3: But this is cryptic.
Speaker 1: There are things we can do to support the community
Speaker 1: and mitigate the damage from those raids, and we're working
Speaker 1: to do that. I'll leave it to your own devices
Speaker 1: to figure out what the hell that's supposed to mean.
Speaker 1: But and I asked out loud in the last hours, like,
Speaker 1: wait a second, even did the citizens of the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, represented by the council people and the mayor,
Speaker 1: did they vote to become a sanctuary city back in
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3: Did you invite that? Is that what you want? Have
Speaker 3: you seen the.
Speaker 1: Problems associated with an unchecked, unregulated immigrant population descending upon
Speaker 1: your neighborhood. Have they used up resources that otherwise would
Speaker 1: have gone to the voters and the residents of the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. It's certainly happening all across this country.
Speaker 1: And again, this is not bearing a political stripe to
Speaker 1: my perception. I mean, there are people on both sides
Speaker 1: of the political ledger who will say, no, we need
Speaker 1: immigrants and we shouldn't have you know, a border or whatever.
Speaker 1: But I think the vast majority of folks impacted by
Speaker 1: this probably feel differently. Anyhow, looking forward to Ken Cober
Speaker 1: joining the program at bottom of this hour to talk
Speaker 1: about that, among other things. Congrats the Young Marines. Lynn
Speaker 1: Arnold with the Young Marines is going to be in
Speaker 1: studio at seven oh five. I cannot wait for that.
Speaker 1: She is a fantastic lady. So update about the Young
Speaker 1: Marines and donovan'eil at seven thirty. Americans for Prosperities, Donovan O'Neil,
Speaker 1: support for Ohio Senate Bill THII, and yay a flat tax.
Speaker 1: Al Nippert. Yes, we do remember how from the railroad fight.
Speaker 1: He's a mister Railroad specialist. We're going to get comments
Speaker 1: on the High Park development, which some people are asserting
Speaker 1: me not in my backyard argument. No, we don't want
Speaker 1: that expansion in that large I don't know. They have
Speaker 1: to get a waiver of variants in order to build
Speaker 1: this multi family unit building as well as a hotel there.
Speaker 1: And some of the local residents say it's going to
Speaker 1: disrupt the Hyde Park Square, it's going to make traffic
Speaker 1: too bad. Well connected communities. Again, voted on by the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati. You got it, whether you wanted it
Speaker 1: or not. Eight oh five John Gordon political analysts talking
Speaker 1: about host of syndicated show Truth with John Gordon Topics
Speaker 1: the national topic analysts will discuss Trump's first weeks in
Speaker 1: office and of course a great data have I heard
Speaker 1: media aviation expert Jay Rattlevon which you know it's always
Speaker 1: a great day at eight thirty. But of course today
Speaker 1: we have that Reagan National Airport crash with a plane
Speaker 1: flying directly into a military Blackhawk helicopter and apparently no
Speaker 1: survivors at least from everything I can gather this morning.
Speaker 1: What a tragedy. And if you watch the video, I
Speaker 1: think you'll be like me and You'll be like Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: How could this have possibly happened? Anyhow?
Speaker 1: Good news out of Los Angeles real quick. As of
Speaker 1: yesterday morning, the Eating fire in Alta Dina and the
Speaker 1: Pasadena fire ninety nine percent contained fourteen thousand, twenty one
Speaker 1: acres burned up. Palisades Fire is now ninety six percent
Speaker 1: contained twenty three thousand, four hundred and forty eight acres.
Speaker 1: The Hughes fire ninety eight percent contained that one burned
Speaker 1: up ten thousand, four hundred and twenty five acres. Geez,
Speaker 1: twenty nine people dead and thousands and thousands of structures
Speaker 1: burned up. Curfew man in effect between six pm and
Speaker 1: six am for the mandatory of actually evacuation areas. Firefighter's,
Speaker 1: law enforcement, utility workers the only ones allowed into the zones,
Speaker 1: and they've got all kinds of law enforcement letting us
Speaker 1: know that there have been dozens of arrests for looting,
Speaker 1: burglary's curfew violations. Those people are the absolute scum of
Speaker 1: the earth. And in terms of structures, sixteen thousand destroyed
Speaker 1: in just two of the fires which has led to this.
Speaker 1: They closed the beaches. Los Angeles County closed the beaches
Speaker 1: from Malibu all the way through Plia del Ray because
Speaker 1: of the runoff from the Palisades fire. They're finally getting
Speaker 1: some rain. First rainfall of the winter season was taking
Speaker 1: place on Sunday and money Monday. They say that the
Speaker 1: runoff contains toxic or carcinogenic chemicals. According to Los Angeles
Speaker 1: County Public Health Department did a recent rainfall on the
Speaker 1: increase in fire debris among these ocean waters. The ocean
Speaker 1: water closure has been declared for Lost Florida State Beach
Speaker 1: to Santa Monica State Beach. Fire debris runoff and pollutants
Speaker 1: in the water and on the sand may contain toxic
Speaker 1: or carcinogenic chemicals. The closure remains in effect until further notice.
Speaker 1: These users caution to avoid water and sand contact.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: They also issued an ocean water quality rain advisory. Why
Speaker 1: might that be well one of the reasons, of course,
Speaker 1: Moving over to the Epoch Times, Jill McLaughlin reporting electric
Speaker 1: vehicles and lithium ion batteries that melted to the ground,
Speaker 1: creating hazardous conditions. I thought this was supposed to be
Speaker 1: an environmentally correct thing to do, driving an ev around Hmmmm.
Speaker 1: Those who study the realities of it, no better than that.
Speaker 1: It's comparently specialist with the Federal Environmental Protection Agency leading
Speaker 1: a large scale cleanup of the batteries. And it's not
Speaker 1: just the batteries, it's the solar panels as well, which
Speaker 1: have of course been propped up and sponsored by uh yeah,
Speaker 1: tax dollars. Get thirty six square miles of folks who
Speaker 1: had solar panels on their houses along with the electric
Speaker 1: vehicles in the driveway. The sign, the size of the
Speaker 1: Palisades fire, and the number of lithium ion batteries Epoch
Speaker 1: times reported left behind make it one of the largest
Speaker 1: hazardous materials cleanups that the local first responders have ever seen,
Speaker 1: and probably one of the bigger challenges that we've ever
Speaker 1: seen in America. Electric vehicles abandoned by fleeing residents during
Speaker 1: the fire and they literally melted. Fire Department spokesperson Adam
Speaker 1: van Garpen, we have never seen it on this scale.
Speaker 1: We're talking about a very large scale, and of course,
Speaker 1: in addition to the lithium ion batteries that are in
Speaker 1: the evs, you also have all the cell phones, laptops
Speaker 1: and wireless headphones, electric and solar panels, all of which
Speaker 1: melted and have spilled out toxic materials, hence the warning
Speaker 1: about not going to the ocean. All new homes built
Speaker 1: in California since January first, twenty twenty are required to
Speaker 1: have solar panels, which, parenthetically and I did not know this,
Speaker 1: also require the installation of lithium ion batteries. So even
Speaker 1: if you avoided buying electric vehicle, you still have the
Speaker 1: lithium ion batteries that is, capturing the solar power generated
Speaker 1: from your solar panels, which are mandated by the state
Speaker 1: of California. Do you think I'm asking out loud for
Speaker 1: a friend? Do you think they did an environmental study?
Speaker 1: They require environmental studies for literally everything, don't they. That's
Speaker 1: why some of the projects to clear out the brush
Speaker 1: in the forest to prevent forest fires from raging were halted.
Speaker 1: Environmentalists filed lawsuits to put them to stop those things
Speaker 1: from even happening. Did they do an environmental study in
Speaker 1: advance of the solar power panel mandate to determine what
Speaker 1: the realities might be in the event of a massive
Speaker 1: wildfire going through a neighborhood filled with solar panels and
Speaker 1: electric vehicles. I'm going to go with no. I don't
Speaker 1: know that. For a fact, I will point out days agency.
Speaker 1: The EPA has set up a hazardous debris collection site
Speaker 1: in each of the Palisades and Eaten Fire areas. According
Speaker 1: to the news release, the batteries should be considered extremely
Speaker 1: dangerous even if they look intact. They encourage residents to
Speaker 1: exercise extreme caution and return to the priority when returning
Speaker 1: to the properties, and to call their hotline if they
Speaker 1: encounter a lithium ion battery. How about that EPA was
Speaker 1: given one hundred and seventy five million dollars for debris
Speaker 1: removal and a sixty day timeline to remove toxic and
Speaker 1: hazardous waste which absent mandates, probably wouldn't even have been there.
Speaker 1: As partly a hazardous materials removal work, the US EPA
Speaker 1: has also been tasked to safely remove batteries from electric
Speaker 1: and hybrid vehicles and home backup power supplies. Other hazardous
Speaker 1: materials burning in the lays include paints, cleaners, solvents, oils,
Speaker 1: herbicides and pesticides consequences six fifteen fifty five KERC detalk

Speaker 1: going to go to the phones right now. I got
Speaker 1: CJ in the line. CJ, thanks for holding over the break,
Speaker 1: my friend. Welcome to the fifty five CARC Morning Show. O,
Speaker 1: good morning to you.
Speaker 6: And I was going to mention what you did.
Speaker 2: About all those solar panels and batteries, but even gets
Speaker 2: worse than that with the batteries in the state of California.
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago post you to go buy
Speaker 2: new batteries in order to sell your electricity from those
Speaker 2: solar pants because they had too much power going into
Speaker 2: the system during the day and not enough at night,
Speaker 2: and so you have an.
Speaker 7: Explosion of batteries not only from.
Speaker 11: New homes, but any system that was purchased previous to
Speaker 11: twenty twenty as well.
Speaker 7: So the battery is just going to be masterless.
Speaker 1: And what an amazing toxic problem that creates. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think about these things when they catch on fire,
Speaker 1: and you CJ. I'm certain are well aware of how
Speaker 1: much water they have to pour on those damn things
Speaker 1: to put them out. They don't go out, and the
Speaker 1: fumes that they belt out are toxic fumes. I mean
Speaker 1: that this can be even considered a green slash pro
Speaker 1: environment is just beyond laughable. It's insanity.
Speaker 2: Well, and here's the other problem you have with all
Speaker 2: these solar panels.
Speaker 7: Apart a fire, you're.
Speaker 11: Having to dig up parts of the desert in order
Speaker 11: to bury the ones that were put in twenty thirty
Speaker 11: years ago. Now, when they had a electrical shortage problem
Speaker 11: thirty years ago, and they had to get a bunch
Speaker 11: of people out to go start buying solar panels to
Speaker 11: save the electrical grip. And now all those are starting
Speaker 11: to go bad and they're digging holes out in the
Speaker 11: middle of the desert because they are considered hazardous waste, but.
Speaker 1: We can't put our nuclear waste in the Yuckam Mountain.
Speaker 3: It makes no sense.
Speaker 1: There is no rhyme or reason to any of this, CJ.
Speaker 1: I mean, just a little bit of logic and reason
Speaker 1: apply to this, you realize how laughable it all is.
Speaker 1: And then you also spring from the proposition that CJ.
Speaker 1: You and I and the rest of the population are
Speaker 1: cockroaches on the world. We are literally killing the world
Speaker 1: by merely existing, and that somehow carbon capture or driving
Speaker 1: around an electric vehicle is going to save us from ourselves.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've been staring at this ridiculous nonsense, this religion now
Speaker 1: for going on. What since al Gore crept out of
Speaker 1: his hole and started telling us we were all going
Speaker 1: to die, And all the deadlines that al Gore gave
Speaker 1: us about sea level rises and when we were going
Speaker 1: to die never ever happened. It was all made up
Speaker 1: whole cloth, designed to get people ginned up and worried
Speaker 1: and feeling bad about existence and feeling bad about consumption.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole lot of Marxist of mind,
Speaker 1: this global warming stuff. I think it can be easily observed.
Speaker 1: He just peel back to Veneer. Consumption alone is terrible.
Speaker 1: We are a consumptive nation. We lead the world in consumption.
Speaker 1: It's what drives our economy. There may be some faults
Speaker 1: with that model, but it's reality. And I'm certain that
Speaker 1: these global warming alarmists have that in mind when they
Speaker 1: go after us and tell us that everything we do
Speaker 1: is kill the planet. You'll have nothing and like it.
Speaker 1: I think in the final analysis is where that leaves
Speaker 1: us appreciated. CJ. Thanks for the CALLIFI one three seven,
Speaker 1: four nine fifty eight hundred two to three talk ah.
Speaker 1: Let us see here new Reuters IPSOS poll. I like
Speaker 1: these results. Sixty one percent of US adults support downsizing
Speaker 1: the federal government. That's in quotes only thirty five percent
Speaker 1: or a post of the idea. It's probably because thirty
Speaker 1: five percent of the population in America is employed by
Speaker 1: the federal government. I guess plurality of Americans favor imposing
Speaker 1: a hiring freeze on all federal agencies. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's doing the right thing by well most of
Speaker 1: the population. There's a new Atlas Intel poll. Fifty three
Speaker 1: percent agree with the statement it's better for the government
Speaker 1: to cut spending than increase taxes. Well, there's an idea,
Speaker 1: you laboring and getting to keep the do dollars that
Speaker 1: flow into your pocket as a consequence of doing your job,
Speaker 1: keep more of it. I like that idea as opposed
Speaker 1: to well keeping and funding this bloated federal government in ours,
Speaker 1: which obviously goes out and hands out rewards for people
Speaker 1: who put toxic materials on their home by virtue of mandate.
Speaker 1: Only thirty three percent are opposed to the idea of
Speaker 1: cutting spending rather than increasing taxes. That say Atlas intel
Speaker 1: Pole said that forty four percent of Americans say the
Speaker 1: state should respect a spending ceiling in order to avoid
Speaker 1: increasing the national debt, even if that means less social assistance.
Speaker 1: How about that economists ugu pull the latest one is out.
Speaker 1: Respondents who favor requiring all federal workers to work in
Speaker 1: person rather than remotely outnumber those who oppose the idea
Speaker 1: by eleven points forty eight to thirty seven. I guess
Speaker 1: Donald Trump must be doing the right thing, at least
Speaker 1: in so far as the majority of the folks pulled
Speaker 1: suggest Coming up Ken kober next segment, why does have
Speaker 1: to have part of all say this in sant Police
Speaker 1: department will not be helping ICE do its job and
Speaker 1: its work getting rid of criminals in our neighborhood. I mean,
Speaker 1: you'd think since I police would just be looking at
Speaker 1: the idea of the person is a criminal and a
Speaker 1: wanted person and get them out of the neighborhood because
Speaker 1: they represent a concern for the community. Ken Cober on
Speaker 1: that next after I mentioned foreign exchange, get your imported car.
Speaker 1: Traditionally imported cars. I know a lot of them are
Speaker 1: made in America now, but if you identify your Toyota,
Speaker 1: even if it was made in Kentucky as imported, and
Speaker 1: it would be properly so take it to foreign exchange,
Speaker 1: get it service for less money than a dealer, and
Speaker 1: in many cases a lot less money. I'm a great
Speaker 1: example of that because I save two hundred dollars on
Speaker 1: the save two hundred dollars roughly maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: more of my oil change. If I go to the dealer,
Speaker 1: it's like four hundred and fifty bucks. Don't get me
Speaker 1: going on how stupid that price is, but it's like
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars at foreign exchange, and that still sounds stupid,
Speaker 1: But you know, you get what you pay for. And
Speaker 1: I have a German car, so why I don't know,
Speaker 1: but listen, I'm saving money. That's the point of foreign
Speaker 1: exchange to save you money. And that's an important thing
Speaker 1: any time of year in any economy, and that's why
Speaker 1: they foreign exchange exists. You get an ASC certified Master
Speaker 1: technician working on your car. They have your manufacturers technical
Speaker 1: information at their disposal and they'll do it all and
Speaker 1: you leave with a full warranty on parts and service
Speaker 1: with more money in your pocket. The bottom line is
Speaker 1: your bottom line. Tell Austin and the crew it's Westchester
Speaker 1: Locations one. I recommend that's where Austin and his awesome
Speaker 1: mechanics family like environment there. They'll treat you great. Tyler's

Speaker 12: Here's a Sean Hannity Morning minutes. You have House panel
Speaker 12: to investigate sanctuary cities. What have I been saying about
Speaker 12: sanctuary cities. They're aiding in a vetting law breaking. They're
Speaker 12: codifying law breaking into law, which they don't have the
Speaker 12: authority to do. We have a supremacy clause. This falls
Speaker 12: under the jurisdiction of the federal government. This House panel
Speaker 12: is going to call on Democratic mayors to testify. Apparently
Speaker 12: this is like an immigration culture shock. I've heard more
Speaker 12: Nazi Gestapo Hitler comparisons. I mean, this is what the
Speaker 12: Democrats have done for nine years. This is who they are.
Speaker 12: They've got no solutions, and you know we have Well
Speaker 12: why are they handcuffing people on flights, but because they
Speaker 12: haven't been vetted.
Speaker 13: Check out the Sean Hannity radio show later today.

Speaker 12: This great country was founded on freedom, and that was
Speaker 12: freedom from a country that forced us to buy overpriced
Speaker 12: tea and then tried blockading us when we dumped their
Speaker 12: tea into the ocean.
Speaker 3: How'd that work out for them?
Speaker 12: Well, it's time now to throw out your overpriced, big
Speaker 12: wireless contract. Throw it overboard, my friends, a pure talk.

Speaker 1: special welcome back to the fifty five carssee morning show.
Speaker 1: FOP President Ken Kob. We're representing the SINCINNT Police Department Union.
Speaker 1: Could you have you on the show? Ken, appreciate your
Speaker 1: the time you're spending with us this morning.
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you got the word from Mayor Aftab Purvol
Speaker 1: and I've been sort of rhetorically asking the question the
Speaker 1: residents of the city of Cincinnati vote to become a
Speaker 1: sanctuary city. Back in early seventeen twenty seventeen, he said
Speaker 1: the city will not enforce federal immigration laws for those
Speaker 1: here illegally. Quote, there have been no ice raids in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati as of now, none despite the rumors and conspiracy theories,
Speaker 1: but we are prepared if there is an ice rate
Speaker 1: in our community. There's nothing we can do to prevent
Speaker 1: that based on federal law, but there are things we
Speaker 1: can do to support the community and mitigate the damage
Speaker 1: from those raids, and we're working on that. Maybe you
Speaker 1: can explain what the hell he means. But he said
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Police Department has no role in federal immigration enforcement,
Speaker 1: and Charmie McGuffey, I guess chimed in a similar light.
Speaker 1: Do you have any personal feeling about the duties of
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Police Department with respect to arresting the obviously
Speaker 1: criminal illegal immigrants that are in our community.
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, we all take an oath of office
Speaker 14: when we get sworn in as police officers, and our
Speaker 14: oath is that we will enforce all federal, state, and
Speaker 14: local laws. And having a mayor saying that we are
Speaker 14: not going to do this is just wrong and it's
Speaker 14: very misguided because if we decide that we're not going
Speaker 14: to help federal law enforcement, then it's violating our oath
Speaker 14: of office.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you came with loud and clear and
Speaker 1: very straightforward on that one. That's kind of my perception
Speaker 1: as well. And I don't know how much control the
Speaker 1: mayor has. I mean, he can say whatever he wants
Speaker 1: to say, but what goes on within the police department
Speaker 1: that seems to be the role of the chief of police,
Speaker 1: and you know, the hierarchy within the Police Department has
Speaker 1: three STHIGI said, anything with regard to how the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Police Department will deal with ICE and or cooperate or
Speaker 1: not with ICE agents.
Speaker 14: No, this far, we've been given you zero directives, and
Speaker 14: you know it kind of treating us as status quo,
Speaker 14: which has been you know, any time that we have
Speaker 14: any kind of interaction with federal law enforcement, we help
Speaker 14: them because they're federal law enforcement officers. That's what we're
Speaker 14: expected to do. If we have Green Township call us
Speaker 14: and ask us for help, or Dellai Township or whatever
Speaker 14: department asks us for help, we help them. That's what
Speaker 14: we're sworn to do. Warner up hold laws, and that's
Speaker 14: what the Cincide Police officers will be doing.
Speaker 1: And that's refreshing to hear. And you know that has
Speaker 1: been my understanding as well. I remember Jim Neil talking
Speaker 1: about cooperation among the various law enforcement agencies in the
Speaker 1: general region, and the cooperation was, you know, shared responsibilities
Speaker 1: and shared services and everyone played nicely together in the sandbox.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's still the case with Charmie
Speaker 1: McGuffey as head of the Sheriff's Department, but you know,
Speaker 1: It's nice to know you guys do play well together.
Speaker 1: But this is a two way street too, because the
Speaker 1: federal government helps Cincinnati law a Cincinnati police department with
Speaker 1: you know, their investigations as well, don't they Absolutely.
Speaker 14: You know, there has to be cooperation among law enforcement agencies.
Speaker 14: We've done this for years.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 14: I go back to my years when you know, I
Speaker 14: was on the street working in our fugitive unit, and
Speaker 14: we would you know, every so often we'd have like
Speaker 14: the FBI would.
Speaker 9: Come in and you know, they're gonna they're gonna.
Speaker 14: Execute thirty different search warrants around Cincinnati. And they don't
Speaker 14: have the resource is to do it all themselves, nor
Speaker 14: do they have the lay of the land.
Speaker 1: So what do they do.
Speaker 14: They call local law enforcement and ask them for assistance.
Speaker 14: So we would be up at three or four o'clock
Speaker 14: in the morning. We would meet with these teams. They
Speaker 14: would give us the addresses of places where they have
Speaker 14: search warrants for and we would go assist them, tell
Speaker 14: them that, you know, the most efficient route to get
Speaker 14: to an address, you know, if there was any concerns.
Speaker 9: Of neighborhoods, whatever else.
Speaker 14: We would give them all this intelligence and then we
Speaker 14: would go with them and serve these warrants. It's something
Speaker 14: that's been done for years, and you know, unfortunately this
Speaker 14: is just a highly politicized thing, and I just we
Speaker 14: have to do these things. This is what we're required
Speaker 14: by law to do. And to have a mayor come
Speaker 14: out and say, well, no, we're not going to help them.
Speaker 14: We don't have a choice of the matter.
Speaker 1: Well, and I appreciate how straightforward you are with that reality.
Speaker 1: And I guess more fundamentally, you know, eastwore an oath
Speaker 1: of office and as an officer of the law to you know,
Speaker 1: hold the constitution, protect and serve the community. The Trump
Speaker 1: administration presently is going after. I mean, these are vile people.
Speaker 1: These crimes that you know, it's reported that many of
Speaker 1: them committed child rape for example, is just horrific and
Speaker 1: inexcusable and probably one of the most heinous crimes that
Speaker 1: can cross my mind. But we as a community, like
Speaker 1: other residents who live here, citizens of the United States,
Speaker 1: if they get out of hand and they commit crimes,
Speaker 1: they're bad guys. That's why we arrest them and prosecute
Speaker 1: them to keep our communities safe. I mean, moving over
Speaker 1: into the illegal immigrant category. We're still talking about criminals here.
Speaker 1: Don't we want to get them out of the greater
Speaker 1: Cincinnati community? Ken Well, I could say if one law
Speaker 1: enforcement does.
Speaker 14: I'm not sure what the mayor's position on this is,
Speaker 14: but absolutely, yeah, we have to protect our communities. And
Speaker 14: just because you're here illegally doesn't mean that you get
Speaker 14: a free pass to come here, break the law and
Speaker 14: stay here.
Speaker 9: It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: Think about what you just said, Ken, that we're even
Speaker 1: having this conversation because there are some inelected capacity that
Speaker 1: believe because you are an illegal immigrant somehow you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be arrested and prosecuted or at least expelled for having
Speaker 1: committed crimes.
Speaker 3: It's this crazy.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's laughable that we're even having this conversation.
Speaker 1: I agree all day long. So where are we? I know,
Speaker 1: last time we talked can in terms of numbers of
Speaker 1: police officers. I know the problem hasn't been solved since
Speaker 1: our last conversation a week or so ago, But remind
Speaker 1: my listeners how many we should have in terms of
Speaker 1: officers and where we are presently, and also the fun
Speaker 1: fact of the number of people retiring, So.
Speaker 14: We're currently at about nine hundred and twenty one. Although
Speaker 14: I just had an officer called me yesterday who went
Speaker 14: into our drop programs of retired last year stayed for
Speaker 14: another year, and she called me yesterday.
Speaker 9: And said, listen, I'm done. Oh done, I'm leaving. I've
Speaker 9: had enough.
Speaker 14: So we've lost I think two already this year in
Speaker 14: the month of January. We lost seventy two last year,
Speaker 14: but our complements one thy fifty eight were at nine
Speaker 14: twenty one, so we're roughly one hundred and forty short.
Speaker 14: And I just don't see this year being any better.
Speaker 14: I think the staggering number is we had eighteen people
Speaker 14: that left that were not retirement eligible. Oh my eighteen, yes, Oh,
Speaker 14: that is a staggering number. And it just seems things
Speaker 14: seem to just not be getting any better anytime soon
Speaker 14: at least well.
Speaker 1: And that's that's walking away from a sizeable post retirement salary.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not envious or I don't think it's
Speaker 1: wrong or anything. But if you're walking away from you
Speaker 1: know what is it could be three quarters of your
Speaker 1: pay or something like that, and you're quitting early you're
Speaker 1: not eligible for that. That is that's a statement and
Speaker 1: a half right there. If I could ask you about
Speaker 1: this most recent person who told you that they're just
Speaker 1: done and over with. Is there a sort of a
Speaker 1: trend or a reason that many of them are citing
Speaker 1: specifically for why they can't they can't take it anymore.
Speaker 14: I think a lot of it is just it's just burnout.
Speaker 14: You know, when when you're short on a relief and
Speaker 14: you don't get a break from you know, the day
Speaker 14: to day work, and you know they worked in you know,
Speaker 14: one of the busiest districts here in the city, and
Speaker 14: when you're asked to go and respond to just radio
Speaker 14: run after radio run, and you know, just the violence
Speaker 14: that they're experiencing on a daily basis, people just get
Speaker 14: burnt out. You know, we don't have enough people, and
Speaker 14: I know the city is making an effort. You know,
Speaker 14: we've got a class in now of about forty people
Speaker 14: that will.
Speaker 9: Be graduating in May.
Speaker 14: We're gonna have another class in July, but we've got
Speaker 14: to do things to make this place more attractive. And
Speaker 14: having them here come out and say we're not helping
Speaker 14: a federal law enforcement agency that's not helping make this
Speaker 14: place more attractive. It's making it worse, and you know
Speaker 14: we're going to see eventually what the fallout is going
Speaker 14: to be from that.
Speaker 8: Jeez.
Speaker 1: Well, prayers, love and support from my listening audience and
Speaker 1: me to the Cincinnati Police officers. We certainly appreciate what
Speaker 1: you're doing and we have an understanding and for found understanding.

Speaker 1: Channel five did a news story on the Help Squad.
Speaker 1: Brian Ibold is out there and he's on a Christian
Speaker 1: mission to help folks in need. And one of the
Speaker 1: six just an amazing success story. They had a single
Speaker 1: mom who was spending more than three hours every single
Speaker 1: day on the bus just to get to work. I
Speaker 1: mean she had like forty minute commute and a transfer
Speaker 1: and then it was just awful. Well, the Help Squad,
Speaker 1: nonprofit started by Brian Ibold, former police officer, gave her
Speaker 1: a car and she is beside herself with gratitude. But
Speaker 1: that is the beauty of what the Help Squad does.
Speaker 1: Individuals that have true needs, they vet them and they
Speaker 1: make sure that they get what they need. Maybe you
Speaker 1: need help with a monthly rent check, maybe you need
Speaker 1: some specific product or service, they get you in touch.
Speaker 1: So a big props to the Help Squad. You can
Speaker 1: find them online the Help Squad sincywithwy dot com. Brian
Speaker 1: is on a desperate mission to get folks that donate
Speaker 1: to the cause. And again this is his mission to
Speaker 1: help people in need, and it really will help them.
Speaker 1: Every dollar that goes to the Help Squad is going
Speaker 1: to end up in the hands of some worthy, needy individuals.
Speaker 1: So God bless you, Brian and everybody that's involved in
Speaker 1: helps me out, including Westside Jim Keefer if you're out there, brother,
Speaker 1: God bless you all. And without further ado, in studio,
Speaker 1: it's always a treat to see her Lynn Arnold from
Speaker 1: the Young Marines, along with the wonderful Abby Smith who's
Speaker 1: been receiving an award.
Speaker 3: It is a pleasure to have you here.
Speaker 15: Good morning, Thank you for having us.
Speaker 3: And you know you Len.
Speaker 1: Your name came up when I was talking to the
Speaker 1: Patriots Lightning guy last week. Yes, sir, you're the better half.
Speaker 1: I told him I kicked his coverage without question, we
Speaker 1: both did. It's been a while since you've been in
Speaker 1: the studio, So remind my listeners and I'll give you
Speaker 1: the website. It's NKY Northern Kentucky Nkyyongmarines dot com. Where
Speaker 1: good kids become great leaders. That's the mission statement. So
Speaker 1: remind my listeners about how you got involved with the
Speaker 1: Young Marines, and I know you have a particularly strong
Speaker 1: tie to them, giving your daughter's connection.
Speaker 16: I got involved actually speaking to a volunteer, a veteran
Speaker 16: at a blood drive. I met a veteran at a
Speaker 16: blood drive and we talked and talked in and at
Speaker 16: the end of the donation, he just said, or I'd said,
Speaker 16: my eight year old son would have loved to have
Speaker 16: listened to every one of your stories.
Speaker 15: I hope I can remember them.
Speaker 16: And he said, you have an eight year old that
Speaker 16: loves a military and likes learning about it, and I
Speaker 16: said I do, and he said, well, look up to
Speaker 16: young Marines. And so when I got home, I did
Speaker 16: look up the Marines. And my son at the time
Speaker 16: was eight, my daughter was ten. And then the following
Speaker 16: spring they both joined the program.
Speaker 15: Her not so willing.
Speaker 3: To ask you that is was this their idea?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 16: My son, yes, he was in before when he heard
Speaker 16: the name. He didn't even need to research it. I
Speaker 16: you know, I attended they would open houses with him,
Speaker 16: and my daughter went to and she had no desire,
Speaker 16: and then there was a parent there that talked her
Speaker 16: into it, said, you know, do you enjoy school? And
Speaker 16: she said, I like learning, I don't really enjoy school.
Speaker 16: And he said, are the kids immature? And she said yes,
Speaker 16: and he said, come here, you're gonna love these kids. Here,
Speaker 16: you'll make friends here, and that was it for her.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome because I remember when I was signed
Speaker 1: up to join the Marlins and over my objections. It's
Speaker 1: like I didn't want to do it, but I you know,
Speaker 1: I woke up and after three plus years and ended
Speaker 1: up a better person as a consequence of dealing with
Speaker 1: it and going through it. So there's a lot to
Speaker 1: be said about that. And thanks for good parents like
Speaker 1: you who will insist that their children pursue these ventures,
Speaker 1: because I know your daughter ended up doing phenomenally well
Speaker 1: in marine.
Speaker 9: She did.
Speaker 16: She graduated from her recruit training as the honor grad
Speaker 16: and you know, to the chagrin of her brother right
Speaker 16: whose you know, this was his thing. But then she
Speaker 16: went on to become Battalian Young Marine of the Year,
Speaker 16: Division Young Rain of the Year like Abbey Smith year,
Speaker 16: and then on to National Young Marine of the Year.
Speaker 16: And then she got her appointment to the Coast Guard Academy.
Speaker 16: And when she went to the Coast Guard Academy her
Speaker 16: senior year there she was in a very tough major
Speaker 16: and graduated with honors. But she was also the regimental commander,
Speaker 16: which meant the top military get out at the Coast Guard.
Speaker 1: Academy when she's Holy cow.
Speaker 16: So it gave her a great basis and I mean
Speaker 16: great contact, great people across the nation.
Speaker 15: But then to get to that point, you know how amazing.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely amazing. So a little sibling rivalry on
Speaker 1: that little bit.
Speaker 15: But my son went to the Marine Corps. He did
Speaker 15: five in the Marine Corps.
Speaker 16: Now he's in college in Texas and she's actually a
Speaker 16: civilian working for the Navy.
Speaker 1: Well salute to them, and thank you both for your
Speaker 1: service to our country and then of course forgetting your
Speaker 1: young people involved. I'm sure it was a real rewarding
Speaker 1: experience for you.

Speaker 15: Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure having you here.
Speaker 17: Great to be here, sir.
Speaker 1: So how long have you you're sixteen years old? I
Speaker 1: understand how long have you been with the Northern Kentucky Marines.
Speaker 17: I've been in since twenty nineteen, since I was eleven
Speaker 17: years old.
Speaker 1: Eleven and you told me you have a regret that
Speaker 1: you didn't start earlier.
Speaker 17: Yes, sir, I wish I joined earlier so I could
Speaker 17: get the full ten year experience in this program.
Speaker 1: That's just amazing to me. Now, how young can you
Speaker 1: be to join the Northern Kentucky Young Marines.
Speaker 17: To be eight years old at the start of our
Speaker 17: career training.
Speaker 1: Eight years old, so I missed a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Now what drew you to want to become a young Marine?
Speaker 17: Well, I've always had a passion for the military, ever
Speaker 17: since I was a child, before I can remember, I've
Speaker 17: wanted to join the military, even before I knew it
Speaker 17: was separated into different branches. And my school teacher, Miss Claire,
Speaker 17: and a USO officer actually mss MS. They introduced me
Speaker 17: to this program because they knew of my passion, and
Speaker 17: immediately I wanted to join because this seemed like the
Speaker 17: greatest opportunity and greatest challenge that I could face.
Speaker 1: Now, what inspired you to want to I mean, Eddie,
Speaker 1: that young of an age to want to become a
Speaker 1: member of American Armed Forces?
Speaker 3: Did you like like I grew up?
Speaker 1: Here's my story, and I always say out loud one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I supported veterans and veterans Causes and
Speaker 1: the military generally speaking, is because I didn't sign up.
Speaker 1: I did not enlist, But I was inspired by old
Speaker 1: World War two movies with John Wayne, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean like Sands of ew wu Jima for example, and
Speaker 1: Lynn Arnold's daughter brought me back. I have some sand
Speaker 1: from ewogm which I still have on my dress or
Speaker 1: I see it every day and I think of her
Speaker 1: every day. Land by the way, but that was inspiring
Speaker 1: to me. Now, you're a lot younger than me, so
Speaker 1: what inspired you?
Speaker 17: You know, I get asked that question a lot of that,
Speaker 17: And part of the reason was three of my grandparents
Speaker 17: were in the military, and I just grew up with them,
Speaker 17: seeing them and the respec they have for our nation
Speaker 17: and what they did to make our nation what it is,
Speaker 17: and then hearing from my parents of how proud they
Speaker 17: are of our country, I just knew I wanted to
Speaker 17: do that. I wanted to help our country be the
Speaker 17: free place that it is today.
Speaker 1: That is so awesome to hear and when you were
Speaker 1: saying that, and you know, I grew up in a
Speaker 1: similar environment. My parents very patriotic, and I think that's
Speaker 1: where my patriotism comes from. I understand the gift that
Speaker 1: we were born with since we were here in the
Speaker 1: United States of freedom, the idea and the concept of freedom.
Speaker 1: I just it is everything that is me and my being.
Speaker 1: But I was brought up in that environment as well,
Speaker 1: and when you were saying that, I was thinking of
Speaker 1: all the people who are or brought up in sort
Speaker 1: of a hateful anti American American it's bad and evil
Speaker 1: for all these you know in the list of reasons,
Speaker 1: what a contrast that must be, and how that person
Speaker 1: is not going to be raised in an environment where
Speaker 1: they have any respect for their country.
Speaker 15: It's a shame.
Speaker 17: It's a shame, and I know many classmates who are
Speaker 17: brought up in that environment. I feel sad, honestly, because
Speaker 17: I am proud of my country, and we should all
Speaker 17: be proud of our country because we are at the
Speaker 17: forefront of freedom in the world and uphold the values
Speaker 17: that are important to us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people can look at us from Afar and say, gosh,
Speaker 1: they're allowed to speak their mind. Gosh, they allowed to
Speaker 1: pursue whatever interest they want to pursue. Gosh, just you know,
Speaker 1: no wealthy distribution, well some anyway. But I get the
Speaker 1: website again, it's NKY Young Marines dot Com. You got
Speaker 1: a young person in your face and when you got
Speaker 1: to get invoked up with this organization. Now, tell me
Speaker 1: about a day in the life of a Northern Kentucky
Speaker 1: Young Marine. What does it involve. I know, it's a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of different things that you learn and exercises
Speaker 1: you go through, but.
Speaker 3: Tell me about it. What's why.
Speaker 17: Well, when you first joined the program, you're not allowed
Speaker 17: to just join. You have to be taught how to
Speaker 17: wear the uniform properly, taught how to be an ambassador
Speaker 17: of the Young Marines program. So all the kids who
Speaker 17: join our program have to go through recruit training, which
Speaker 17: is six to seven Saturdays and one overnight where they
Speaker 17: learn how to be a young Marine. After that, we
Speaker 17: have drills and events. We have drills every other Saturday,
Speaker 17: which are around seven hours, so it's basically another school
Speaker 17: day where you teach them classes on life skills, public speaking,
Speaker 17: first aid, field skills, closer to drill, the marching you
Speaker 17: see in some of those movies, pt physical fitness, and
Speaker 17: living a healthy drug free lifestyle.
Speaker 16: Whoa in military American history, in military American history, and chivalry,
Speaker 16: and all of this is taught by our Young Marine.
Speaker 17: We do have guest speakers that come in, but all
Speaker 17: of our Young Marines are told to teach classes on
Speaker 17: topics that they want to teach about within our unit.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, well, and that's I guess where your
Speaker 1: public speaking sitills come from. Because you're teaching the other
Speaker 1: young Marines. You got to stand up in front of
Speaker 1: the room and talk. That's awesome, yes, sir, you on
Speaker 1: that topic alone. And you know, I get invited to
Speaker 1: speak at events from time to time and I don't
Speaker 1: have any problem doing it, and I don't struggle. And
Speaker 1: I used to struggle with nervousness or you know why,
Speaker 1: and always keep it in the back of my mind.
Speaker 1: No one wants to be up in the front of
Speaker 1: the room usually, you know, like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that nice So you're like, you know what, since
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me, I'll fall on the sword. I'll
Speaker 1: take the challenge. But you seem really enthusied about speaking,
Speaker 1: and does it bother you at all to do public speaking?
Speaker 17: It did when I first joined this program, I hated
Speaker 17: speaking in public, even to my friends. Sometimes I don't
Speaker 17: want to talk to you. But after experiencing so much
Speaker 17: of this program and learning how to talk publicly and
Speaker 17: learning how to be confident we're speaking, it's so much
Speaker 17: easier now, And especially when I'm talking about the young Marines,
Speaker 17: it's easy to be passionate about it because it's changed
Speaker 17: my life.
Speaker 1: And you know, folks, I know this is radio, but
Speaker 1: if you could see the inspired look on Abby's face,
Speaker 1: I mean this, this message comes across just absolutely loud
Speaker 1: and clear. She is just really, really, really a devotee
Speaker 1: and a believer in what she's doing with the young Marines.
Speaker 9: Is it hard?
Speaker 1: Are there any of the like? For example, the PT
Speaker 1: is even difficult means it hard to consider it work,
Speaker 1: like oh jeez, it's push up day or something like that.
Speaker 17: We do not have specific days they push ups. But yes,
Speaker 17: it is a challenge, especially when you're younger and you're
Speaker 17: working through the ranks and getting your sign offs. It
Speaker 17: is like another school day where you have to put
Speaker 17: in the effort. And there are some days where I'm like, wow,
Speaker 17: this is a struggle, but it's always an opportunity to improve.
Speaker 17: And I just look back and I see all those
Speaker 17: days where I struggled have made me the person I am.
Speaker 17: And I hope the young Marines in our units see
Speaker 17: that that these struggles are making them better as people.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: And I suppose, like you had Lynn with your children
Speaker 1: and the sibling rivalry, that you're inspired by your fellow
Speaker 1: young marine so maybe you're not feeling quite up to
Speaker 1: the challenge that given day, but if you look around you,
Speaker 1: then you do step up and uh and and meet
Speaker 1: the demands of whatever it is you're going through that day.
Speaker 17: Yes, sir, we do consider ourselves a family. I see
Speaker 17: these kids almost every day, sometimes in the summer at
Speaker 17: the events we go to, and you learn so much
Speaker 17: about them. And without this program, I wouldn't have met
Speaker 17: my young marine's family, So I'll be forever grateful for that.
Speaker 3: Like sort of like.
Speaker 1: A fraternity or sorority, you know, band of comrades are
Speaker 1: was it easy to make friends with them? A little
Speaker 1: hesitation there.
Speaker 15: She didn't speak at first.
Speaker 1: I saw her stop and she was contemplating that question.
Speaker 17: When I first joined, Sir, I was really shy and
Speaker 17: an inter. I know that's a word that's thrown around
Speaker 17: a lot, but really it was hard for me to
Speaker 17: make friends these people who I saw as idols. They
Speaker 17: were higher up in the program, and me just joining,
Speaker 17: I'm like, wow, how could I ever be like them?
Speaker 17: But I had my recruit training, I had my friends
Speaker 17: who are all working towards the same goal, and they
Speaker 17: pushed me to do better. And yes, I did become
Speaker 17: friends with all of them.
Speaker 1: What an inspiration you are. We're gonna bring her back.
Speaker 1: Abbie Smith along with Lynn Arnold in the studio talking
Speaker 1: about the Northern Kentucky Young Marines. You know what, I
Speaker 1: think your phone's going to be bringing off up later
Speaker 1: today to hear her and I some mom and dad
Speaker 1: is out there going jeezs I got an hate year
Speaker 1: old listen to her, you know, ah, we got to
Speaker 1: get there in this program. We'll bring it right back.
Speaker 1: Pause for a moment. So I mentioned doctor Fred Pack
Speaker 1: and doctor Meghan Frew, the dynamic duo of dentistry. Let
Speaker 1: me start with doctor Fruit. She is just an absolutely
Speaker 1: amazing lady. And I want to discount doctor fred Pack
Speaker 1: because he is just a literal genius. But for a
Speaker 1: lot of people out there, I don't unders not liking
Speaker 1: to go to the dentists because I love going to
Speaker 1: the dentist because every time I come out of the
Speaker 1: dentist's office, you know, I feel refreshed, my teeth are clean,
Speaker 1: I feel confident. I always get a good bill of health,
Speaker 1: and I'm proud of that. But if you're one of
Speaker 1: those folks that doesn't like going to the dentist. You
Speaker 1: need to get in the chair of doctor Meghan Frue.
Speaker 1: She is an absolute breath of fresh air, friendly, charming,
Speaker 1: easy on the eyes. I can tell you that out
Speaker 1: loud knowing my wife is listening, but fundamentally of wonderful,
Speaker 1: fantastic dentists. It's going to cause you to feel really
Speaker 1: at ease. And if you need to be more at
Speaker 1: ease than that, they do sedation dentistry. You're there at
Speaker 1: the practice. The most state of the art practice you're
Speaker 1: ever going to come across is doctor Pack and frew
Speaker 1: and over to doctor Fred Pack, a fellow with the
Speaker 1: American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. There's only three of them
Speaker 1: in the entire state of Ohio. I think only like
Speaker 1: fifty in the entire world. That's because he has met
Speaker 1: that level of standard that the fellowship requires, because he
Speaker 1: is a genius when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, life changing, exceptional,
Speaker 1: transformative cosmetic dentistry. That's doctor Fred Pack and Meghan Freu
Speaker 1: is working on un accreditation right now, So you're in
Speaker 1: great hands with that practice. I've been going there for
Speaker 1: probably more than a decade. I know more than a
Speaker 1: decade and the whole place is filled with folks with
Speaker 1: a treaty like family, so it is a truly comfortable
Speaker 1: environment for all things dentistry, most notably cosmetic dentistry. Five

Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky Young Marines online at NKY Young Marines dot com.
Speaker 1: If this is just an amazing organization, and then thanks
Speaker 1: thanks to Lynn Arnold. I have met quite a few
Speaker 1: of the Young Marines over the years. What an amazing
Speaker 1: and outstanding group of young people. They truly are as
Speaker 1: demonstrated and you can hear for yourself by Abby Smith,
Speaker 1: obviously a great public speaker, her confident young lady, and
Speaker 1: that confidence bolstered by her participation in the Northern Kentucky
Speaker 1: Young Marines. So yeah, you want to get your kids
Speaker 1: involved with that, And congratulations Abby, I should have maybe
Speaker 1: mentioned it at the outset. You are the Division three
Speaker 1: Young Marine of the Year. Yes, sir, see I took notes.
Speaker 17: I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: No problem. No, what was involved in the competition? You
Speaker 1: have to like beat people up and like do marksmanship
Speaker 1: or not that time, sir. Okay, So seriously, I just
Speaker 1: I'm wildly curious. How does one become the Division III
Speaker 1: Young Marine of the Year.
Speaker 17: Well, there's a lot of work put into a way
Speaker 17: before the actual promotion boards, which is like a job interview.
Speaker 17: Before then, I had to attend three leadership schools, which
Speaker 17: are stopping points in our young Marines career where we
Speaker 17: have to learn about the different leadership styles and how
Speaker 17: to lead our young Marines as we're progressing through the program.
Speaker 17: And that started when I was twelve years old when
Speaker 17: I went to Maryland, thirteen for next one in Georgia,
Speaker 17: and fifteen in California, where I was second at the
Speaker 17: last one.
Speaker 15: Second out of forty eight marines across the country.
Speaker 3: Oh my word.
Speaker 1: Wait, this is like I'm just getting the picture. This
Speaker 1: is really like genuine military training you're going through here.
Speaker 17: It is modeled after it, sir.
Speaker 1: Future leaders of America. I'm sitting in front of one
Speaker 1: right now. She's going to be a congress person or
Speaker 1: a senator someday. Oh my word. All right, and it's
Speaker 1: not over there. You continue to compete against other young Marines.
Speaker 1: I guess all of the Division Young Marines of the
Speaker 1: Year then go off to Jeopardy and you're gonna end
Speaker 1: up competing with them.
Speaker 17: Not really like Jeopardy, but kind of.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do my words, gospel, I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is why you're here. You're enlightening my listeners in
Speaker 1: the abbey.
Speaker 17: So once we earn the six young Marines across the country,
Speaker 17: they earned the Division Young Marine of the Year title.
Speaker 17: We were becoming the top six young Marines in the country,
Speaker 17: and April I would be competing against those other young
Speaker 17: Marines for the title of National young Man of the
Speaker 17: Year at a promotion board, which is similar to a
Speaker 17: job interview. It'll be in front of the division commanders,
Speaker 17: which are like the top people in our program are
Speaker 17: National Executive Director, many guests who are some of them
Speaker 17: sergeants major of the Marine Corps, which is very stressful
Speaker 17: promotion board.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, did they try to recruit you while are there?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm serious, because you know you're a young
Speaker 1: marine you have not, you know, enlisted in the regular Army, Navy,
Speaker 1: Air Force, Marines, or now Space Force. And I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask you what you were planning on doing as
Speaker 1: you move forward. But hell, I mean, if I was
Speaker 1: a recruiting office, I'd be all over you like white
Speaker 1: on rice, Like you got to come over to me
Speaker 1: when as soon as you turn eighteen because I need
Speaker 1: you in the division. Here's what I'm gonna do for you.
Speaker 3: Kind kind of a pitch.
Speaker 17: Well, I've joined because I wanted to go into the military,
Speaker 17: But young marines across the country they don't. They are
Speaker 17: not forced into the military. While we do teach a
Speaker 17: lot of military customs and traditions, and we are modeled
Speaker 17: at the Marine Corps, a lot of our young marines
Speaker 17: end up becoming teachers or different trades across the country.
Speaker 15: Lawyers like yourself.
Speaker 3: How about that? What do you want to do?
Speaker 17: I want to go to the Naval Academy, sir.
Speaker 1: That will be outstanding. Yes, I got a friend out
Speaker 1: of the listening audience. I call him a cribbage mic
Speaker 1: because we play a game of cribbage at my listener
Speaker 1: lunches every first Wednesday of the month. He was in
Speaker 1: a submarine for his military career. Wow, and the whole
Speaker 1: and he's like six ' four. I don't know how
Speaker 1: they got him into the subway to start with the
Speaker 1: cribbage mic. If you're out there, future Navy and LISTI
Speaker 1: here is sitting in front of me, and what a
Speaker 1: blessing it'll be for the Navy to pick you up.
Speaker 4: Thank you, sar, you got a.
Speaker 1: Great future in front of I hope you appreciate that.
Speaker 1: There are very few young people that anybody in my
Speaker 1: listening audience and me included, have ever met that have
Speaker 1: your level of confidence, your ability to speak, your obvious
Speaker 1: passion for what you're doing. It's going to serve you
Speaker 1: so well.
Speaker 17: Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Oh my pleasure. Listen.
Speaker 1: I'm inspired by meeting you, Lint Arnold. You got to
Speaker 1: get inspired by these young marines every day. You're involved
Speaker 1: with them too.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, And like she said, she wish she had joined earlier.
Speaker 16: It's funny we have young marines that leave the program
Speaker 16: and sometimes you know, it's not their decision. Sometimes it is,
Speaker 16: you know, families move or whatever, but they leave the program.
Speaker 16: And I've never once heard a young marines said I
Speaker 16: wish i'd quit earlier, but you know, I'll have them
Speaker 16: say I wish I had stayed in or I wish
Speaker 16: I'd joined earlier. But you know, whether they make it
Speaker 16: to her, you know the accolades that Abby has earned
Speaker 16: for herself or not. They will benefit from this program,
Speaker 16: even if it helps them with school reports or job interviews,
Speaker 16: they will benefit.
Speaker 3: There is a question in my mind.
Speaker 1: Abby. I wish you all the best on your future,
Speaker 1: and I'm very confident it will be a successful future.
Speaker 1: You've been a real inspiration for me this morning, and
Speaker 1: I know an inspiration for my listeners who've stuck around
Speaker 1: to hear.
Speaker 3: What you had to say.
Speaker 17: Thank you so much, sir, I really appreciated having the
Speaker 17: opportunity to talk about my program to you and your listeners.
Speaker 3: Spread the love.
Speaker 1: Can I hope getting some more recruits NKY Young Marines
Speaker 1: dot com. Get over there and find all about it
Speaker 1: and get your young person signed up for all the
Speaker 1: benefits that they certainly will gain from being in the program.

Speaker 1: involved say valuable program Without further ado, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: this fifty five Carrisy Morning Show Donovan and Neil for
Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity. Donovan, good to have you on the
Speaker 1: show today.
Speaker 7: Brian, great as always.
Speaker 1: I know you didn't know who I was talking about.
Speaker 1: You probably weren't listening. Abby Smith was the award winning
Speaker 1: Division three Young Marine of the Year sixteen years old
Speaker 1: and is confident and is inspiring a person you'll ever
Speaker 1: run into. Just such an awesome conversation with her. Anywow,
Speaker 1: I flat tax? I mean is that possible? Senate Bill three?
Speaker 1: What's this all about? And why is Americans for Prosperity
Speaker 1: supporting it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Well that's really exciting about Abby as well.
Speaker 13: It's always a little humbling, right when you get someone
Speaker 13: almost half your age who uh has accomplished so much?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, isn't it no lessen? I mean half
Speaker 1: my I wish she was half my age. She's sick
Speaker 1: thinking for myself here? Oh you okay? Fine, yes, she's sixteen.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh the clock please? Anyway? Truly inspirational.
Speaker 4: Well, flat tax?
Speaker 13: Yeah, so lots of great news this morning yesterday. State
Speaker 13: Senator George Lang, State Centator Steve Huffman.
Speaker 3: These are guys who've.
Speaker 13: Been fighting this fight for the all years they've been
Speaker 13: in Columbus, last several years they've been in Columbus, and
Speaker 13: I think we're going to get it done this year.
Speaker 1: Brian.
Speaker 13: What this legislation would do is it would move the
Speaker 13: state of Ohio from two tax brackets we've gotten down
Speaker 13: to two tax brackets.
Speaker 1: Now, happy to talk about a lot of the history there too,
Speaker 1: but right, two tax brackets.
Speaker 13: This would move Ohio to a flat tax rate at
Speaker 13: two point seventy five percent, the lowest in the Midwest.
Speaker 13: Uh and it would accomplish that by the twenty twenty
Speaker 13: six tax year. This is a key part of our
Speaker 13: Buckeyed Blueprint policy agenda, and we're thrilled that these members
Speaker 13: have introduced this legislation so early and have put such
Speaker 13: an emphasis on getting this done.
Speaker 1: Now, when you say flat and I have the detractors
Speaker 1: out there the listening audience, Rick, I got your email.
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from. But beyond that, flat
Speaker 1: suggests no incentives or write offs or deductions or anything
Speaker 1: like that like we have in the federal tax code,
Speaker 1: which is just a vehicle to manipulate people into doing
Speaker 1: something the otherwise wouldn't do because of the incentives. I
Speaker 1: hate them. And I don't think even we should have
Speaker 1: a child tax credit. I don't think we should build
Speaker 1: a write off interest in real estate period. End of story,
Speaker 1: X amount, no ride offs, no countants, no need for
Speaker 1: anybody you know in a legal department to deal with
Speaker 1: these thousands and thousands of pages. Is that what this
Speaker 1: is just a flat tax?
Speaker 13: Well that's a really good point, Brian. No, like we
Speaker 13: would ask for paying all of the various deductions, child
Speaker 13: tax credits, the political contributions credits.
Speaker 1: But that's something we have talked about though. Here to
Speaker 1: Americans prosperity.
Speaker 13: You know, our friends at the buck Eye Institute put
Speaker 13: out the Piglet booklet. We do put out a lot
Speaker 13: of money in tax expenditures, and I agree we need
Speaker 13: to get you know, whatever the government wants, just let
Speaker 13: them have it. Let's keep the compliance costs and times low.
Speaker 13: But this is an important step and really the big
Speaker 13: vision here, Brian is we aren't going to worry about
Speaker 13: deductions and credits in the long run because we're working
Speaker 13: to get Ohio is zero percent income tax. But a
Speaker 13: first step in that right is getting everybody, all voters,
Speaker 13: all taxpayers on the same rate so that together all
Speaker 13: O Highlands can move that rate to zero percent.
Speaker 6: So steps like this help put.
Speaker 13: A big These are big landmarks in the march to
Speaker 13: getting Ohioans to be able to keep all of their
Speaker 13: hard earned money on their paycheck and getting a zero
Speaker 13: percent income tax.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm knowing americal prosperity as well as I do.
Speaker 1: I know you're probably behind the scenes fighting for that
Speaker 1: zero that no income tax. Obviously, it's been a huge
Speaker 1: benefit to those zero income tax states out in the world.
Speaker 1: That's where all the blue state people with money left
Speaker 1: and moved to. We've been trying to be a magnet
Speaker 1: for business here in the state of Ohio since I've
Speaker 1: been on radio and law longer than that, and without
Speaker 1: much success, and zero income tax will probably very successful
Speaker 1: to lower businesses and individuals into the state of Ohio.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's something our friend our progressive friends don't
Speaker 13: quite understand because they say, well, hey, like you guys,
Speaker 13: have you Republicans have been running the state since twenty eleven,
Speaker 13: and we haven't. We've been lowering tax rates, but we
Speaker 13: haven't seen a massive growth in population or jobs being
Speaker 13: located here. And my argument is we haven't gone big
Speaker 13: and bold, right you just if you're just kind of
Speaker 13: incrementally tweaking things down or shifting things around a little
Speaker 13: bit while other states are blazing past you, Bryan, that's
Speaker 13: where the businesses are going. And so making this bold
Speaker 13: statement and saying hey, when you locate here, you could
Speaker 13: tell your employees right when they move from you know,
Speaker 13: New York or California where the panel you know, significant
Speaker 13: amounts of money twice as much in income tax, they're
Speaker 13: gonna be able to You're going to see their their
Speaker 13: paychecks increase. That's the kind of stuff that I think
Speaker 13: helps bring that economic development as opportunities to us. And
Speaker 13: so yeah, it's a it's a big statement.
Speaker 1: Well, and here I'll try to be a little bit
Speaker 1: of a devil's advocate the folks in Columbus saying, well,
Speaker 1: but we need money to run the government, and it
Speaker 1: may be too big, and we can may maybe make
Speaker 1: cuts and get rid of fraud, waste abuse, but in
Speaker 1: the final analysis, salaries need to be paid government services
Speaker 1: and must continue. How can we do that without the
Speaker 1: income tax?
Speaker 13: One might ask, Well, the funny thing is is, you know,
Speaker 13: the income tax is only one of the many ways
Speaker 13: the vampire, that is, state, local, and federal government get
Speaker 13: their claws or their their their vampire teeth into your paycheck. Right,
Speaker 13: But what we've seen is that's a false narrative, right
Speaker 13: ran In twenty fifteen, the state of Ohio collected eight
Speaker 13: point five billion dollars from residents ten years ago. What
Speaker 13: we've what we've seen is that increase even as we
Speaker 13: cut the income tax thrunk brackets to three point five
Speaker 13: percent of top marginal rate the ten point seventy nine billion,
Speaker 13: So what that is is a twenty six percent increase
Speaker 13: Brian in the last ten years, as we've moved from
Speaker 13: a top marginal rate of four point ninety nine to
Speaker 13: a top marginal rate of three point five percent. That's
Speaker 13: not to say also what happens in local sales taxes
Speaker 13: now that people have more of that hardered money not going.
Speaker 7: To Columbus but able to be spent.
Speaker 13: Locally improvements to their homes that are fueling rising property
Speaker 13: tax values which are another pain point.
Speaker 1: For a lot of folks, but support the schools.
Speaker 14: That are government funded.
Speaker 13: Let alone the gas tax that maybe you use to
Speaker 13: drive up to the shores of Lake Erie and hang
Speaker 13: on at Cedar Point. That gas tax, which lawmakers and
Speaker 13: Columbus raise not long ago on us Brian fuels the
Speaker 13: roads and bridges we have in our states, so it
Speaker 13: still finds its way into your pocket. We just think
Speaker 13: you should be the one deciding where you want to
Speaker 13: spend that money, how you want to spend that money,
Speaker 13: and getting a high to a flat income tax is
Speaker 13: the first step to.
Speaker 1: Get in us to zero fair enough, And I know
Speaker 1: many people suggest as opposed to an income tax, at
Speaker 1: least on a federal level, there should be a federal
Speaker 1: sales tax to fund the government, which means everybody who
Speaker 1: buys literally anything is going to be responsible for the
Speaker 1: workings of government. It puts everybody, you know, everybody then
Speaker 1: has a stake in it, and they maybe more people
Speaker 1: would complain about the size and scope in the reach
Speaker 1: of government if they had to pay out of their
Speaker 1: pockets when they're buying things. Is AFP have a position
Speaker 1: on that kind of thing, at least maybe on a
Speaker 1: federal basis. I know you're with the Ohio Chapter Americans
Speaker 1: for Prosperity, but just kind of moving over and into
Speaker 1: that argument.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, we're big fans of what the twenty seventeen
Speaker 13: Trump tax cuts did, and the big part of that
Speaker 13: is what we've been able to accomplish last two decades
Speaker 13: in Ohio, right is lowering brackets, shrinking brackets, lowering top
Speaker 13: barning rates and especially the top marginal rate, and expanding
Speaker 13: the standard deduction. The idea they're being right, keep things
Speaker 13: as simple as possible so folks don't have to keep
Speaker 13: receipts all year. I think the fail you're getting to,
Speaker 13: like a national sales tax in place of an income
Speaker 13: tax is.
Speaker 4: A is a worthwhile endeavor as well.
Speaker 13: The goal here being we want to make folks interactions
Speaker 13: with the federal government as quick, easy, and painless as
Speaker 13: possible while ensuring they get to keep as much of
Speaker 13: their hard earned money as possible. Right, the government only
Speaker 13: takes what it truly needs to do. The real core
Speaker 13: functions comes with the federal government, Brian. Beyond border security
Speaker 13: and national security and making sure we can get across
Speaker 13: the country, there ain't a lot much more than I
Speaker 13: think the government the federal government needs to be involved
Speaker 13: in if you ask me. But that's also an exciting
Speaker 13: time at the federal government with tax reform and what
Speaker 13: their new Republican majority is advocating for.
Speaker 1: All Right, as far as Center Bill three is concerned,
Speaker 1: it sounds me like you're optimistic. You got the votes
Speaker 1: for that two point seventy five percent flat income tax
Speaker 1: rate in the state of Ohio. How do my listeners

Speaker 1: Morning Show. Always look forward to it. Thanks Brian. Thanks
Speaker 1: my friend seven forty. Right now, Al Nippert, remember the
Speaker 1: railroad fight. He's an railroad expert. He's got comments on
Speaker 1: the NIMBI folks out in Hyde Park that don't really
Speaker 1: like connected communities. Al will join the program next and first,
Speaker 1: though imaging can be affordable, mri CT scans, yes, they
Speaker 1: are affordable, ECO cardigrams, ultrasounds are affordable, but not in
Speaker 1: the hospital image department, where any one of those images
Speaker 1: is going to cost you thousands of dollars. Welcome to
Speaker 1: a new calendar year.
Speaker 3: Folks.
Speaker 1: With insurance out of pocket responsibility, you're going to be
Speaker 1: eating a large chunk of a five thousand dollars ET scan.
Speaker 1: But do you really need the overhead? Do you really
Speaker 1: want to pay for that? No, go to low overhead
Speaker 1: affordable imaging services, where a CT scan with a contrast
Speaker 1: is only six hundred dollars without four hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: same thing with a MRI. Most expensive image you can
Speaker 1: get as an MRI with a contrast, and it's only
Speaker 1: six hundred and forty five bucks four to ninety five
Speaker 1: without the contrast. Every image at these low prices includes
Speaker 1: the board Certified Radiologists Report, which you and your doctor
Speaker 1: will get within two days. I've had images there and
Speaker 1: they do They're great. My doctor had no complaints. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'm going again in April to get my CT scan
Speaker 1: follow up on the lymphoma. So I'm going to affordable
Speaker 1: imaging services, and so do you, because I'm going to
Speaker 1: save a heapload of money. You have a choice when
Speaker 1: it comes to your medical car. You can go wherever
Speaker 1: you'll want. So it's five pine three seven five three
Speaker 1: eight thousand. I had a doctor in Columbus asked me
Speaker 1: for the infol on Affordable because he said I would
Speaker 1: send a patient from Columbus down to the Greater Cincinnati
Speaker 1: area to get an image given how low price they
Speaker 1: are for folks with no insurance. This is the answer
Speaker 1: to your prayers. Five one, three seven, five three eight thousand.
Speaker 1: Online you'll find them at Affordable Medimaging dot com, fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC dot com. And it's a simple word, but
Speaker 1: in same feed clearwater, it's an important one.
Speaker 4: Here you can sun on America's favorite beat.

Speaker 10: five KRCD Talk.
Speaker 1: Station seven fifty five Kerseity Talk Station by Tom. It's
Speaker 1: happy to welcome back to the fifty five KRSE Morning Show.
Speaker 1: We aren't talking about railroads today, Al Knippert, who was
Speaker 1: our expert on railroads. We were talking about the sale
Speaker 1: of the railroad, which Al didn't like and I didn't like,
Speaker 1: and Christopher Smithman didn't like, but it got sold anyway.
Speaker 1: Al Knippert, welcome back to the fifty five KRSE Morning
Speaker 1: Show to talk about I guess it's connected communities. Hyde
Speaker 1: Park residents voicing concerns because they're planning on tearing down
Speaker 1: and rebuilding a large portion of Erie Avenue for the
Speaker 1: purpose of building a hotel, apartments, commercial space, and an
Speaker 1: underground parking garage. Al it's great having you back on
Speaker 1: the program. Well, thank you, Brian.
Speaker 7: It's a real pleasure to be here, and it's it's
Speaker 7: a great opportunity to try and enlighten some people on
Speaker 7: this and run that's trying to be made around the
Speaker 7: old Marlwood case, which as you know, turned out with
Speaker 7: the landowners having been finally proved right by the Ohio
Speaker 7: Supreme Court, instead of following the New England Northeastern revisionist
Speaker 7: view of a person's right to property Kio versus New London,
Speaker 7: which said, oh, somebody else wants to use the same property,
Speaker 7: well we can take yours and give it to them.
Speaker 7: And that was the wrong purpose of eminent domain. Now
Speaker 7: this isn't eminent domain, but it's re zoning, which has
Speaker 7: the same impact. It's a taking and it's going to
Speaker 7: create concrete canyons the very pictures that they use and
Speaker 7: that the zoning Commission is using to try and push
Speaker 7: this planned unit development, which is the end run around
Speaker 7: the zoning. It's sayre limiting heights is a taking. It's
Speaker 7: a taking of line of say, it's the taking of sunshine,
Speaker 7: and in those pictures you can see the shadows and
Speaker 7: if you put up another ten fifteen twenty feet. On
Speaker 7: top of that, those shadows are extended even in the
Speaker 7: daylight where they're trying to show no impact. And of course,
Speaker 7: the one thing they haven't done is made any changes,
Speaker 7: even though they've been meeting with the Hyde Park community
Speaker 7: groups and the zoning boards. Ol well, please talk to them. Well,
Speaker 7: they talk to them, but if they do nothing, it's
Speaker 7: like talking.
Speaker 1: To a teenager.
Speaker 7: If the teenager doesn't change their attitudes, well nothing happens.
Speaker 7: The great ston't go up, the interaction with the family
Speaker 7: doesn't change. You can talk to them to your blue
Speaker 7: in the face until you get them to change. Now,
Speaker 7: that's really what they've done. They've played ropodope with a
Speaker 7: Hyde Park community council and they still haven't addressed one
Speaker 7: of the key issues, which is traffic. That's a very narrow,
Speaker 7: narrow straight and what are you going to do to
Speaker 7: widen it? You're going to take out the park in
Speaker 7: the middle of the square.
Speaker 1: What do you do here?
Speaker 7: It's amazing you take their own words from well, the
Speaker 7: Cleete Camp and Louring families have been embedded for years
Speaker 7: in politics in Cincinnati, and I think it might be
Speaker 7: helpful to take a look at the history a little
Speaker 7: bit of zoning and the purposes. Going back into the
Speaker 7: Middle Ages, tanneries weren't allowed in.
Speaker 1: Towns.
Speaker 7: Why because they stank, because of what they use to
Speaker 7: cure the hides. More recently, beginning in Charleston where they
Speaker 7: built a Francis Marion hotel in the twenties, people realized,
Speaker 7: oh my god, we're known as the city as spires,
Speaker 7: and if we allow this, it's taller than the spires
Speaker 7: of our churches. We have to do something to protect it.
Speaker 7: Every time that there's been a movement to protect something,
Speaker 7: there's been a casualty in South Carolina. In Charleston, it
Speaker 7: was realizing they were about to lose their entire city scape,
Speaker 7: so they limited the height of buildings. And they've got
Speaker 7: a great ordinance for that purpose, and they've got a
Speaker 7: design review board and really great analysis of the height
Speaker 7: of stories and what can be counted as a story
Speaker 7: and and how you deal with that and adding these
Speaker 7: just two more feet higher than well, they're using the
Speaker 7: wrong structures to compare. Number one, they're not the ones
Speaker 7: on the square. And number two that just a few
Speaker 7: more feet higher than would be another story.
Speaker 1: Or level.
Speaker 7: In Charleston, and every time you have a story and
Speaker 7: you start going higher, you increase the underlying cost for
Speaker 7: the city to have the adequate fire apparatus. You'll notice
Speaker 7: that when you go out on the interstate, all of
Speaker 7: those hotels are generally four stories high. You go higher
Speaker 7: than that, you need to have more fire apparatus or
Speaker 7: you lose your fire rating for that area. And that's
Speaker 7: an additional expense for the city. And the city's already
Speaker 7: crying forth. They claim they'd have guardrails around the money
Speaker 7: for the railroad going back to that for a month,
Speaker 7: and it didn't take them a month to try and
Speaker 7: find ways to pick that piggybank lock.
Speaker 1: Well, and this all springs from that connected community seeing
Speaker 1: the city council pass right, Yeah.
Speaker 7: They want to have a connected community, and then all
Speaker 7: of a sudden, now they want to go around what
Speaker 7: they just passed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess I want to try to understand
Speaker 1: the relationship between connected communities and this proposal, which is
Speaker 1: again to put some higher density housing in Hyde Park
Speaker 1: apartments most notably as well as a hotel. I understand
Speaker 1: that the project's proposed height is eighty five and a
Speaker 1: half feet, which is going to require zoning change from
Speaker 1: the city, since any which imagine will be easily acquired,
Speaker 1: since the city's in charge of this. But don't the
Speaker 1: residents of Hyde Park have any say over this anymore?
Speaker 7: How well, it shouldn't just be the residence of Hyde Park,
Speaker 7: it should be the residence of.
Speaker 1: All the communities. True. Yeah, they can do it to
Speaker 1: Hyde Park.
Speaker 7: They'll do it tot Lookout Square, they do it to
Speaker 7: Oakley Square, They'll do it to Sailor Park. I mean,
Speaker 7: imagine if they went out to the minority communities and
Speaker 7: started Addison and they started buying up large blocks, but
Speaker 7: one layer of shops on the first, then put two
Speaker 7: three layers of parking, and then another three to five
Speaker 7: layers of housing on top. That would totally destroy Sailor Park,
Speaker 7: to totally destroy Addiston, I mean, Cincinnati has the largest
Speaker 7: aggregation of Italian eate structures in the country outside of
Speaker 7: New York. That's why Lost in Yonkers was filmed here. Well,
Speaker 7: if you start buying up blocks of property, because Kelly,
Speaker 7: she used to be so much better, if we did
Speaker 7: something different and you look at what is in the lowering,
Speaker 7: is that the North Point group and you see They've
Speaker 7: got the Italianate structures on Vine Street. But then look
Speaker 7: what they built it the old he Can Cansite across
Speaker 7: from the Broadway courts. They're in the old time star building.
Speaker 7: But you just follow every time we've had a major
Speaker 7: loss of a structure that was historically significant. The real
Speaker 7: push for all of this began with the destruction of
Speaker 7: Penn Station in New York to build a new Madison
Speaker 7: Square gardens. It was built a designed on the Cola
Speaker 7: Roman baths. Well, they tore that down and I remember
Speaker 7: going by the meadowlands and seeing the beautiful limestone columns
Speaker 7: sinking into the mark. Well that started the whole idea
Speaker 7: of historic preservation, and that push for a historic preservation
Speaker 7: in New York led to JACKIEO NASA saving Grand Central
Speaker 7: Station in the seventies.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, in the interest of time, because we're running
Speaker 1: out of time, Al Knippert, is this going to end
Speaker 1: up in courts?
Speaker 7: It absolutely should, because maybe because the Keio, New England,
Speaker 7: Land case was about a taking, and it was followed
Speaker 7: up by the Norwood case here in Cincinnati, which which
Speaker 7: took a different view because of Ohio constitution, share take
Speaker 7: the property just to benefit.
Speaker 1: Somebody else becauld you like some better time. The lawyer
Speaker 1: up in Hyde Park is where I think we have
Speaker 1: led this discussion. Al Knippert, thank you for your insight
Speaker 1: and thoughtful comments on this matter. Keep your popcorn out.
Speaker 1: It ain't over. The NIMBI lawsuits probably just beginning. I'll
Speaker 1: look forward to having you back on real soon. It's

Speaker 1: as well as Atlanta, Georgia. Also ran as a Republican
Speaker 1: candidate to be Georgia's age Attorney General back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two and endorsed by Donald Trump. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Morning Show, John Gordon. A real pleasure to have you
Speaker 1: on today.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much, Brian. Nice to be here.
Speaker 1: Not the first person to say it, but it's easy
Speaker 1: to make the observation. Donald Trump hit the ground sprinting.
Speaker 1: I mean, he has accomplished more in his first couple
Speaker 1: of weeks in office than Joe Biden could account for
Speaker 1: in four full years in office. Among all of the
Speaker 1: different things that Trump has done so far are have
Speaker 1: you been impressed by anything in particular? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: an impressive record thus far, and I think most people
Speaker 1: are pretty pleased with what's going on.
Speaker 6: There's so much talk about as hard to pick just one.
Speaker 6: I mean, one of the things I'm ecstatic about is
Speaker 6: that he has ordered all federal workers to report for work,
Speaker 6: come to work, clock in, sit in your desk and work.
Speaker 1: Don't stay at home and watch.
Speaker 6: Oprah whatever you're watching, or maybe they're listening to Brian
Speaker 6: Thomas for all I know. I'm not sure, but I
Speaker 6: know they're not working to earn their paycheck, and that
Speaker 6: in itself is going to have a tremendous impact because
Speaker 6: I predict, as come did that a large percentage of
Speaker 6: those workers are just going to say, oh, if I
Speaker 6: have to come to work, forget it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's going to bear fruit. I've seen
Speaker 1: estimates that they believe about ten percent of the federal
Speaker 1: workers will take the buyout option, which will keep them
Speaker 1: money with a salary till I guess September, So go
Speaker 1: on vacation and have your salary, but don't come back
Speaker 1: to work. Maybe that number is even low. I guess
Speaker 1: we'll keep our pop going out and see what happens.
Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting to observe John, and I
Speaker 1: doubt many of my listeners would think that the federal workers,
Speaker 1: although we're working remotely when using my quote fingers here,
Speaker 1: are not working remotely at least to the level they
Speaker 1: would have to work if they were in the office.
Speaker 1: As low as that might be, But isn't it a
Speaker 1: great thing to think about when you think none of
Speaker 1: us out here in the real world are really bothered
Speaker 1: by the fact that they're not showing up and doing
Speaker 1: their jobs every day.
Speaker 3: Maybe we can cut.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 6: I'm upset about it, and I have been upset about it.
Speaker 6: I have this paradigm that there's a great number of
Speaker 6: workers in government in general. And this is not an
Speaker 6: indictment of every government worker, no, no, no, but certainly
Speaker 6: a large number of them are lazy. They don't want
Speaker 6: to work, they're taking money that they're not earning, and
Speaker 6: their knee jerk reaction to every decision that they're asked
Speaker 6: to make is simply to say no or to impose
Speaker 6: their authority on others. And it's sickening. And I think
Speaker 6: Trump is going to change the model, as he should.
Speaker 6: You know, the federal government used to be a model
Speaker 6: for what government should look like. They attracted the best
Speaker 6: and the brightest, and they were in where they were
Speaker 6: conscientious for the most part.
Speaker 1: Not so today.
Speaker 6: It has become a morass of laziness. And they're unpunishable
Speaker 6: and you get their voicemailed. They don't respond to emails.
Speaker 6: It's just untenable. But then you know they're rounding up
Speaker 6: members of the cartels. They arrested a guy in New
Speaker 6: York just day before yesterday who was one of the
Speaker 6: guys who had the AK forty seven that barged in
Speaker 6: to the apartment and commandeered it in Aurora, Colorado. They
Speaker 6: have put him in shackles and they're hauling his ass
Speaker 6: and throwing him back into Guatemala or wherever.
Speaker 1: He was from.
Speaker 6: Maybe Columbia, I'm not sure. And then the tariffs that
Speaker 6: Trump is imposing, he's not being punitive. He's just saying, guys,
Speaker 6: if you're going to tear off us, we're going to
Speaker 6: tear if you back.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that?
Speaker 6: And so there's just so much right with what he's doing.
Speaker 6: And that's why people are celebrating and joining to support
Speaker 6: what he is doing, because he's governing for us. I
Speaker 6: truly believe he's governing for the American people.
Speaker 3: Well, no question about it.
Speaker 1: A populous nature of the Republican Party these days, moving
Speaker 1: away from the old days when they were viewed as
Speaker 1: the party of big business. Clearly there's been a sea
Speaker 1: change in that in the alignment of the parties with
Speaker 1: large businesses. But flipping over, I was blessed to have
Speaker 1: in studio John Gordon earlier this morning the Division three
Speaker 1: Young Marine of the Year. This young lady sixteen years
Speaker 1: old is just so acceptional. Her name Abby Smith, and
Speaker 1: I know full well a young lady like Abby is
Speaker 1: confident and as proud as she is for her country,
Speaker 1: the idea that she has truly American values, represents freedom
Speaker 1: and liberty and understands the importance of those values. Would
Speaker 1: not be someone who would appreciate being forced to deal
Speaker 1: with DEI classes in the military. I mean the use
Speaker 1: in the American military as as just one big giant
Speaker 1: indoctrination camp, much like the nation's universities. I was pleased
Speaker 1: to see Donald Trump roll that back and Pete heggs,
Speaker 1: that's all over that in terms of restoring the American
Speaker 1: military to the fighting force, it needs to.
Speaker 6: Be one hundred percent. The model was upside down and
Speaker 6: now it's being turned back on its feet, and meritocracy
Speaker 6: and competence and conscientiousness are going to rule the day
Speaker 6: as they should, and there's room for everybody. I mean,
Speaker 6: if you're a minority and you have gotten a good
Speaker 6: education or you've got a CV that qualifies you, you
Speaker 6: will receive every consideration for any federal jobs. It as
Speaker 6: it should be that way. There's no room for discrimination.
Speaker 6: But this notion that because you are a minority you
Speaker 6: should get a job because of the color of your
Speaker 6: skin or the place of your birth is lunacy and
Speaker 6: so I'm glad to see it coming to an end,
Speaker 6: and so is everybody else except for the socialist Democrats
Speaker 6: like Kamala Harris. Everybody else is running tomorrow Largo to
Speaker 6: kiss the ring and tell the President that they support him,
Speaker 6: even his detractors. And Kamala Harris is saying fight, fight, fight.
Speaker 6: She I wonder where she got that slogan from. And
Speaker 6: there's no fighting now. The fight is over except for
Speaker 6: America First and the America First agenda. That's what we
Speaker 6: have to fight for. And our freedoms, our freedom of speech,
Speaker 6: our Second Amendment. Those are the fights, not political infighting
Speaker 6: and partisan politics. It's time join hands as Americans, come
Speaker 6: together and do what Trump said, make America great again.
Speaker 1: I'm all about it, and I think one of the
Speaker 1: challenges we face in making America great again is that
Speaker 1: so many people have bought into and something I do
Speaker 1: not believe in this religion, that is that we are
Speaker 1: somehow altering the weather by just merely existing. Our exhalation
Speaker 1: has been viewed as a pollutant, even though it's plant food.
Speaker 1: And all these efforts to get people in electric vehicles,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, what no greater illustration than what's
Speaker 1: happening out in California, the wildfires, which they blame on
Speaker 1: global warming, but we all can point to the failed
Speaker 1: policy positions. But now they're all complaining out there and
Speaker 1: they've issued hazards because the electric vehicles that melted have
Speaker 1: created a massive toxic waste dump in Los Angeles and
Speaker 1: it's rolling into the oceans and polluting the beaches. I mean,
Speaker 1: how long do you think they can perpetuate the myth
Speaker 1: that electric vehicles are somehow good for the planet.
Speaker 6: Well, you and I can discussed that. I have an
Speaker 6: electric car. I happen to love it.
Speaker 1: I know, right now, got friends, right now, go aheadkay.
Speaker 6: Right now. Electric cars and ice vehicles contribute about the
Speaker 6: same amount to depletion of resources and pollution. The curve
Speaker 6: is changing. However, as batteries are developed, we will require
Speaker 6: less mining of lithium, and we will recycle the batteries
Speaker 6: and rejuvenate them. I am not a tree hugger, I do.
Speaker 6: I am, however, a conservationist, and I do believe it
Speaker 6: is incumbent upon each of us to leave the planet
Speaker 6: better than we found it. I think that long term
Speaker 6: electric vehicles and solar is the way to go, and
Speaker 6: I am a staunch believer in that. But what happened
Speaker 6: to the EV tax credits? I thought Elon Musk was
Speaker 6: Trump's best friend. Surely Trump would reward him by leaving
Speaker 6: the EV tax credits in place. How do you reconcile that?
Speaker 1: Because you shouldn't need tax credit. If you build it,
Speaker 1: they will come. If it's product, good or service that
Speaker 1: people actually want and demand, they'll get it. And I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people have electric vehicles, and I understand,
Speaker 1: I'm a car guy. They have insane acceleration and torque
Speaker 1: instant torqu you don't have to wait for a power curve.
Speaker 1: So from a performance standpoint, I have total respect for them.
Speaker 1: But from you know, along from a duration standpoint from me,
Speaker 1: you know how long you're going to go on a
Speaker 1: charge standpoint, from the charging, the charging up, the battery
Speaker 1: time that you must spend. I mean know it takes
Speaker 1: me three or four minutes to fill my gas tank.
Speaker 1: I like the convenience of having the gas station on
Speaker 1: the corner that is reliable and I don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about my battery catching on fire and burning down
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. And before the fire department shows up and
Speaker 1: spends three days trying to put it out.
Speaker 6: But well, I think there's a bit of hyperbole in that.
Speaker 6: That is not my experience, Brian, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not yours hasn't birdsten flames yet.
Speaker 6: I've had my car for three years. Let me tell
Speaker 6: you how many times I've taken it into the service
Speaker 6: into the shop to be serviced.
Speaker 1: Would you like to guess? Probably? None? Zero?
Speaker 6: And I had one defect. The steering wheel started to delaminate.
Speaker 6: The leather had come off the steering wheel.
Speaker 1: It was a mess.
Speaker 6: So I called and before I got the words out
Speaker 6: of my mouth, the person on the other end of
Speaker 6: the phone said, that's a known defect. If you will
Speaker 6: make an appointment bring it in, we'll give you a
Speaker 6: new steering wheel, no charge. Ten days two weeks later,
Speaker 6: my phone rang and it said, Hey, this is Billy Bob.
Speaker 6: I'm with Tesla. I am on my way to your
Speaker 6: house if you will permit me to replace your steering wheel.
Speaker 9: He came.
Speaker 6: He was ten minutes early. He replaced my steering wheel
Speaker 6: and the new steering wheel came with a horn on it,
Speaker 6: which my old one did not have, which was one
Speaker 6: of my complaints about the car. You had to find
Speaker 6: the button to honk a horn. But it is an
Speaker 6: absolute engineering marvel. It's quiet, it's smooth. And I drove
Speaker 6: from my house in West Palm Beach to Miami two
Speaker 6: weeks ago with full self driving autopilot.
Speaker 1: I told the car where.
Speaker 6: I wanted to go. I did not touch the wheel.
Speaker 1: God, you're never, ever, ever going to convince me that
Speaker 1: that's a good idea.
Speaker 3: I love to drive.
Speaker 6: With me, and if I don't, I don't think that
Speaker 6: it's a good idea. When we're done, I'll buy you
Speaker 6: a steak dinner at the restaurant of your choice.
Speaker 15: No, no, no, no, No.
Speaker 1: Personally, I don't think it's a good idea. Is because
Speaker 1: I love the act of I love driving. I enjoy
Speaker 1: the chess gain that exists on our crazy roadways. I
Speaker 1: am constantly paying attention to what's going on around me.
Speaker 1: I love paying attention to the road. I made this
Speaker 1: comment before. My wife would be like, you ever see
Speaker 1: that house around the corner of the front door and
Speaker 1: you're driving by. I'm like, no, I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: road when i'm driving, not staring at front doors. I
Speaker 1: love to drive, So you know that's the idea. Of
Speaker 1: self driving cars is just not even appealing to me.
Speaker 1: Whether or not it's a technological marble, which I agree
Speaker 1: that it is. I got it.
Speaker 6: But let me pose this question to you. Would you
Speaker 6: be willing to sacrifice your own enjoyment of driving, which
Speaker 6: I relate to. I mean, I stole the family car
Speaker 6: when I was fourteen, Yeah, and drove to the drug
Speaker 6: store because I like to drive so much. It was
Speaker 6: as much I love to drive, So I understand. But
Speaker 6: let me ask you if you could sacrifice your enjoyment
Speaker 6: and in the process, say forty five thousand American lives
Speaker 6: a year that result in traffic fatalities and another one
Speaker 6: hundred thousand people who are paralyzed or mamed in an automobile,
Speaker 6: would you be willing to make that accommodation.
Speaker 1: I'm not one of the people that's a threat on
Speaker 1: the road because I'm a great driver. So anyhow, moving
Speaker 1: away from that, John Gordon, I give a test you
Speaker 1: a Tesla dealership, don't you? John?
Speaker 6: Sixty years. I don't have a point on my license.
Speaker 6: I haven't had a scribe.
Speaker 1: I got it all right. Finally, in the tail end
Speaker 1: of this conversation, speaking of green energy, do you think
Speaker 1: that we will ultimately now be able to get nuclear power.
Speaker 1: Since it doesn't produce carbon, it will leave our area
Speaker 1: in a cleaner position, and it will provide an abundance
Speaker 1: of energy without having a massive old cooling tower stype
Speaker 1: platform like they used to have. Because of modular nuclear plants,
Speaker 1: France is running on them. They don't seem to be
Speaker 1: having a problem. How come we don't get any.
Speaker 6: The resistance to nuclear power is no different in my
Speaker 6: mind than the obsession with DEI. They're both political narratives
Speaker 6: that make no sense. Nuclear is safe, it's clean, and
Speaker 6: it's hugely effective. We're going to have a power shortage
Speaker 6: in this country and globally, really and we better just
Speaker 6: get wise to the fact that we're nuclear needs to
Speaker 6: be part of the equation.
Speaker 3: Agreement amen to that.
Speaker 1: I think the fact that we don't get any is
Speaker 1: the illustration that it's not about how our power is generated,
Speaker 1: it's about our consumption. And if we have very efficient,
Speaker 1: abundant nuclear power, then our consumption will not drop, our
Speaker 1: efficiencies will go up and will become a more successful society, which,
Speaker 1: in the hearts and minds of the Marxist out there,
Speaker 1: is a bad thing. My impression John John Gordon Post
Speaker 1: of the Truth with John Gordon. That's the syndicated radio show.
Speaker 1: You can find them online, I'm sure wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. And it's been a real fun conversation John,
Speaker 1: And good luck with your ev dealership that I think
Speaker 1: you own, no.
Speaker 6: Dealership, just don't want to be But thank you, Brian.
Speaker 6: I appreciate your respectful conversation this morning. I really enjoyed
Speaker 6: it anytime.
Speaker 1: It's been a real pleasure and I'm sure we'll get
Speaker 1: together again, John Gordon, take care and have a great week.
Speaker 1: And eight twenty I fifty five K City talk station.
Speaker 1: Good segment coming up. I heeart me the aviation expert
Speaker 1: Jay Rale. Of course we do have a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about, so stick around. And speaking of electric vehicles,
Speaker 1: foreign exchange, they're authorized to service tesla's now, so in
Speaker 1: the apparently unlikely event your electric Tesla has a problem,
Speaker 1: then you can get into foreign exchange where you'll save
Speaker 1: money on having it repaired. And of course that's what
Speaker 1: I always point out. Foreign exchange is about saving money.
Speaker 1: You are not going to sacrifice on the mechanical ability
Speaker 1: of those ASE certified technicians working in Foreign Exchange. They
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They have your manufacturers technical information,
Speaker 1: whether your car is from a traditional Asian or European
Speaker 1: manufacturer or tesla, as the case may be. When you leave,
Speaker 1: you'll leave with a full warranty on parts and service
Speaker 1: and more money in your pocket than if you took
Speaker 1: it to the dealer. Significant savings in many, many respects.
Speaker 1: That's why I recommend Foreign Exchange and the Westchester location.
Speaker 1: Austin has assembled the most awesome team out there. They'll
Speaker 1: treat you like family. If you want to talk to
Speaker 1: the mechanic, you can no have to deal with the
Speaker 1: service manager. If you don't want to, Hey, can I
Speaker 1: talk to the mechanic. Absolutely, they'll come right out and
Speaker 1: speak with you about servicing your car. I really appreciate
Speaker 1: that aspect of Foreign Exchange, but I've been going there
Speaker 1: for years and years, and I know I've saved heap
Speaker 1: loads of money. So do the same. Westchester is the

Speaker 1: A man in very, very high demand. I heard media
Speaker 1: aviation r expert Jay Ratliffin with seven hundred plus stations
Speaker 1: throughout the nation. I bet you are in high demand. Jay,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show, my friend.
Speaker 18: Yeah, the phone started ringing at like eleven o'clock last
Speaker 18: night through the night, about every ten minutes for most
Speaker 18: of the morning and the day. It's TV and radio stuff.
Speaker 18: So it's a I wish it had been any other topic,
Speaker 18: because Brian, we've not had I've not had to talk
Speaker 18: about a plane crash in the United States for sixteen.
Speaker 3: Years, I know.
Speaker 1: And you even brought that up, and I was like
Speaker 1: knocking wood here in my studio or knocking full.
Speaker 18: Mic to and I'm sure a lot of people were
Speaker 18: frowning at me, But you got to get back to
Speaker 18: the Colgan Air crash. It was February of two thousand
Speaker 18: and nine, we had the crash in Buffalo that killed
Speaker 18: forty nine passengers, somebody on the ground, and it's been
Speaker 18: We did have a passenger that died on a Southwest flight.
Speaker 18: We did have a couple of people that died in
Speaker 18: the Asiana crash in San Francisco. But you know, for
Speaker 18: the most part, we've not had a plane crash that
Speaker 18: we've ever had to talk about. And of course that
Speaker 18: ended last night, and the questions abound, and obviously we'd
Speaker 18: have very very few answers. But what we do know
Speaker 18: is that there is a very specific designated visual corridor
Speaker 18: where helicopters are allowed to operate up and down the
Speaker 18: Potomac River. So it's an area where if you were
Speaker 18: a helicopter pilot, you are flying under visual flight rules.
Speaker 18: You are required obviously of NonStop communication with air traffic control,
Speaker 18: but you also were responsible for making sure that you
Speaker 18: get adequate separation between you and other aircraft. That's what
Speaker 18: visual flight rules dictate you as the pilot and command
Speaker 18: have to make sure that that is done. And that's
Speaker 18: the case, and that's what this military flight was operating under.
Speaker 18: You then have the American Airlines Regional Jet, which was
Speaker 18: a PSA Airlines, which is based in Dayton, is on
Speaker 18: their final approach coming in from Wichita, and they've got
Speaker 18: sixty passengers on board, crew of four. They're going through
Speaker 18: their flight, you know, the last moments of flight, the
Speaker 18: most critical moments of flight, as you and I've talked
Speaker 18: about five hundred feet either taken off or landing. A
Speaker 18: lot that's going on. They're very locked into every specific
Speaker 18: little detail they need to have, and then all of
Speaker 18: a sudden, the two aircraft occupy the same area at
Speaker 18: the same time. What we do know is that air
Speaker 18: traffic control did reach out to the military aircraft saying,
Speaker 18: do you have visual of the American Airlines jet now? Brian.
Speaker 18: Here's here's one of the many, many, mini, many questions
Speaker 18: I have is that communication took place seconds before impact. Yeah,
Speaker 18: And my thought is, why do you ask a question
Speaker 18: that's going to require a response for you then to
Speaker 18: give evasive instructions when time is of the essence.
Speaker 1: That should not have been a question for me.
Speaker 18: It should have been, you know, take evasive action or
Speaker 18: whatever they needed to do to get that aircraft out
Speaker 18: the way. Because if I've got a regional jet on
Speaker 18: final and I've got a military black Hawk helicopter. I
Speaker 18: know which of the two is going to be making
Speaker 18: the last minute maneuvers to be that military crew, right,
Speaker 18: because that's the type of aircraft they're in and that's
Speaker 18: what it's designed to do.
Speaker 1: Now, we don't know if there.
Speaker 18: Was previous conversations with that military training flight. We don't
Speaker 18: know what conversations, if any, were going on with the
Speaker 18: flight crew of American Airlines. Now, I do know that
Speaker 18: they communicate on different frequencies. When the military is talking
Speaker 18: to the air traffic control, they use a VH frequency.
Speaker 18: When they're talking to pilots of commercial airlines, it's VHF,
Speaker 18: meaning that the conversations that took place between that military
Speaker 18: black Hawk crew and air traffic control would not have
Speaker 18: been heard overheard by the American Airlines crew at all
Speaker 18: because they were on a completely different frequency.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know there's video of it. It's almost
Speaker 1: impossible to believe, it's hard to watch, quite honestly, that
Speaker 1: that helicopter rific just straight line ran into the airplane.
Speaker 18: And those aircraft are designed with this panoramic view for
Speaker 18: all the obvious tactical reasons, you would have on a
Speaker 18: military aircraft, and so they can see everything around them.
Speaker 18: The problem is that at night, especially if you're wearing goggles,
Speaker 18: as many of them do, You've got all of these
Speaker 18: lights because that is such a densely populated area, You've
Speaker 18: got all kinds of things that are kind of competing
Speaker 18: for your attention, so to speak, and the likelihood that
Speaker 18: you you might lose track of a nearby aircraft that's
Speaker 18: coming in for landing bright as possible. And that's the
Speaker 18: reason that I have to go back to air traffic
Speaker 18: control because they see everything, and they're the ones that
Speaker 18: are ultimately responsible for the management of that airspace and
Speaker 18: keeping all of those planes safely apart and all those
Speaker 18: aircraft in a distance where there's not going to be
Speaker 18: any danger to any of the particular airplanes or aircraft
Speaker 18: and their inhabitants. And here we had passengers that were
Speaker 18: put at risk and we don't know. In the National
Speaker 18: Transportation Safety Board, who I'm a huge fan of, they
Speaker 18: will get to the bottom of it. They will do
Speaker 18: their due diligence, they will dig through everything. They will
Speaker 18: find out the mistake or mistakes that were made. We
Speaker 18: will learn from it. Then we will apply those mistakes. Well,
Speaker 18: hopefully they've recommend it to the FAA, and it's up
Speaker 18: to them what they do. But then we get to
Speaker 18: the point of trying to implement those changes, because, as
Speaker 18: you and I have talked about, in every accident, in
Speaker 18: near accident, you honor the law of those that were
Speaker 18: lost by making the necessary changes so that you can
Speaker 18: prevent that kind of a situation from ever happening again.
Speaker 1: And we've got to do that here. Absolutely, it almost
Speaker 1: defies the odds that those two were able to run
Speaker 1: in each other, concerning the speed that they were traveling
Speaker 1: and the distance between the two, and they finally impacted.
Speaker 1: I'm just in a state of disbelief over the whole thing, Jay,
Speaker 1: so many many questions looming, and some are suggesting there's
Speaker 1: no way this was an accident, this was an intentional act.
Speaker 1: And you know, the rumors starts swirling and are they.
Speaker 18: Well and they always do in a situation like this,
Speaker 18: And sadly, with social media, it's a fertile ground for
Speaker 18: a lot of that stuff to happen. And we'll know
Speaker 18: what's going to take place, and there's going to be
Speaker 18: a lot of transparency that's going to take place here,
Speaker 18: and I'm very confident that we're going to find out
Speaker 18: what happened. I don't now Look, anytime there's a crash,
Speaker 18: the FBI is immediately involved because it's treated as a
Speaker 18: crime scene until we determine otherwise. Now, it was pretty
Speaker 18: clear here in the early ongoing that this was not
Speaker 18: a criminal event, so the FBI could kind of stand down.
Speaker 18: But the other issue is had any of the debris
Speaker 18: fallen into the non river part. The concern that we
Speaker 18: have from an investigator standpoint is people grab souvenirs and
Speaker 18: sometimes parts of an aircraft are removed from the scene.
Speaker 18: It's critical for the investigation. So not only are you
Speaker 18: involved in a search and rescue, but you're also making
Speaker 18: sure that any of the debris that falls, as we
Speaker 18: have with the commercial airline when Columbia came down, I mean,
Speaker 18: any of these investigations that take place of a type
Speaker 18: of aircraft, it's critical that the investigators have every single
Speaker 18: piece of information that they can have, and sometimes the
Speaker 18: black boxes will tell the story. Sometimes it's the wreckage
Speaker 18: that gives us the answers that we need, and that's
Speaker 18: why all of that is so critically important in the
Speaker 18: early stages of all this, so that all of that
Speaker 18: is contained, so that it's available for the investigators as
Speaker 18: they need it.
Speaker 1: Well, and I guess I must observe out loud I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about it. I don't think there's any question in
Speaker 1: anybody's mind how this tragedy happened. Two aircraft ran into
Speaker 1: each other in the in mid air.
Speaker 18: How many times have you and I talked about the
Speaker 18: near misses we've had at other airports across the country.
Speaker 18: And when I talk with pilots, they say, Jay, ask
Speaker 18: any of us your top five list of airports you
Speaker 18: don't want to fly into Washington. Reagan's always one of
Speaker 18: the five because it's a very difficult thing. Now, there's
Speaker 18: one question here that I can't answer because it's outside
Speaker 18: my lane. But I know that on that regional jet,
Speaker 18: the Bombardier CRJ seven hundred, they have the t CAST system,
Speaker 18: the traffic collision avoidance.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 18: Yeah, But the problem is that requires a like transponder
Speaker 18: to be on the other airport. Oh okay, And I
Speaker 18: don't think, well, in fact, I'm pretty pretty confident here
Speaker 18: that's not the case. And the reason I'm confident is
Speaker 18: because that TCAST system would have alerted American Airlines flight
Speaker 18: crew of the presence of that air aircraft, and you
Speaker 18: would have seen in the video some sort of last
Speaker 18: stitch moment movement, change of altitude, change of directions, something
Speaker 18: within that crew, and we didn't see it on the video.
Speaker 18: So that makes me think and again it's askedinine to
Speaker 18: draw any conclusions at this point, but they really didn't
Speaker 18: know what was taking place until they were right on
Speaker 18: top of it, and at that point it was it
Speaker 18: was simply too late.
Speaker 1: It's just hard to get my head around that. And
Speaker 1: you might think that that system would not exist on
Speaker 1: a military aircraft anyway, because that would allow others to
Speaker 1: track where it is given and we don't want that.
Speaker 18: On our military aircraft. And if that's the case, so
Speaker 18: be it. But that's one of the reasons, because that
Speaker 18: was the question I had, was would they have been
Speaker 18: alerted to this in any sort of way from the
Speaker 18: systems that are on board that state of the art
Speaker 18: aircraft and the bombardier. They're the ones that made the
Speaker 18: fifty passenger regional jets that we all were familiar with
Speaker 18: with Calm Air and the CRJA seven hundred is simply
Speaker 18: just a larger version of that Bombardier jet. So it's
Speaker 18: a great aircraft, state of the art. Crews loved to
Speaker 18: fly them, incredibly dependable, They've got everything they need on them.
Speaker 18: But again that's dependent on a lot of other variables
Speaker 18: that have to exist with other aircraft.
Speaker 1: And as of last reporting on this, let's say they
Speaker 1: found twenty seven of the bodies from the airline and
Speaker 1: one of the helicopter. One from the helicopter at this point,
Speaker 1: so it's not gone full recovery mode. There is no
Speaker 1: one believes anyone survived this so truly a tragedy.
Speaker 7: Jay.
Speaker 18: When you look at the video and you look at
Speaker 18: what took place, the explosion that happened when the two hit,
Speaker 18: it would be a miracle if anyone did survive. Now, look,
Speaker 18: I've seen some of the most horrific plane crashes that
Speaker 18: have happened where you would think nobody survived and there
Speaker 18: were survivors. So there's always going to be hope. But
Speaker 18: we're reaching that point where hope is running out and
Speaker 18: there's always room for a miracle. We'll never sell God
Speaker 18: short on anything, you know that. But the bottom line
Speaker 18: here is that it just appears as though that all
Speaker 18: lives were lost, sixty four on the on the commercial jet,
Speaker 18: and then the three that we know of on the
Speaker 18: military side. And yeah, I mean, and you think of
Speaker 18: the people, and I'm thinking of also the American Airlines
Speaker 18: agents that are on the go team, because I was
Speaker 18: part of the go team on Northwest, which meant if
Speaker 18: there was a crash or an accident and there was
Speaker 18: a loss of life, the go team would be dispatched
Speaker 18: to the scene and each one of us would be
Speaker 18: assigned to family and we would work with that family
Speaker 18: through everything, getting their family members in, helping them collect
Speaker 18: the remains, all of the things that just are horrific
Speaker 18: to go through. But you know, those people are also
Speaker 18: being dispatched to help out as well because they've got
Speaker 18: to help these families that are going to be dealing
Speaker 18: with this not only now but for years. And our
Speaker 18: family lost somebody in a very public way, and when
Speaker 18: it's public, it's everywhere, and that just makes it impossible
Speaker 18: to get away from it, and it just makes it
Speaker 18: even more difficult so often for families to deal with. So,
Speaker 18: I mean, there's so many people to pray for, because
Speaker 18: it's going to impact.
Speaker 1: All kinds of people.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: Ripple effect is profound unbelievable. Yeah, well, I wish we
Speaker 1: had a lighter topic to talk about it in the
Speaker 1: interest of adding some measure of lightheartedness. Moving away from
Speaker 1: the tragedy, let's just talk real quickly about since I
Speaker 1: know you're in high demand today, the ten year prison
Speaker 1: sentence a man. God, what happened on that one?
Speaker 3: Jay?
Speaker 18: This is actually happened back in October. It was a
Speaker 18: man that was running to a Delta American flight in Dallas.
Speaker 18: And I understand, Brian, he was a very important individual.
Speaker 18: He doesn't need to wait in lines, so he ran
Speaker 18: to the front of the line, past everybody, trying to
Speaker 18: push his way through the gate to board his flight.
Speaker 18: The poor gate agent is trying to explain to this
Speaker 18: idiot who did have alcohol involved, he was just the
Speaker 18: wrong gate. He was trying to get on the wrong plane.
Speaker 18: So he is directed to the other one, which was
Speaker 18: the correct one, and off he goes. He misses that
Speaker 18: flight because they won't let him on. He comes back
Speaker 18: and beats up the person who told him that it
Speaker 18: was the wrong gate, and other employe tried to get
Speaker 18: involved and they got Some of these folks couldn't come
Speaker 18: back to work for several days, and it got to
Speaker 18: the point where he is now facing up potentially a
Speaker 18: ten year prison sentence and potentially a two hundred and
Speaker 18: fifty thousand dollars fine, and I hope he gets both.
Speaker 18: Here's here's my other aggravation. It's going to be negotiated now.
Speaker 18: He'll be a fraction of each for both, and he's
Speaker 18: going to be allowed to fly on any other airline
Speaker 18: he wants other than American airlines, who will banning forever.
Speaker 18: Why do we allow people that are this violent to
Speaker 18: fly on other US carriers after this happens. Shouldn't be
Speaker 18: the case, And it's one of the things you and
Speaker 18: I talk about so often.
Speaker 1: Amen to that. Well real quickly, how delays I imagine
Speaker 1: getting in and out of DC might be a little
Speaker 1: troubling today, Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 18: With all the obvious flight activity in that area, we're
Speaker 18: seeing delays there, and really the Northeast for the next
Speaker 18: maybe forty eight hours is going to be problematic because
Speaker 18: the conditions are only going to decrease over the next
Speaker 18: two days. So if you're scheduled to fly two or
Speaker 18: through anywhere in the Northeast, by all means make sure
Speaker 18: the airlines.
Speaker 1: Have a way to get ahold of you. Appreciate the sound,
Speaker 1: advice and the information, Jay Ratliffe, and off to your
Speaker 1: next appointed call, because I know they're lined up around
Speaker 1: the corner with you today.
Speaker 3: Jay, Thanks for the time.
Speaker 18: That's one Sadly headsn't stopped ringing, and I just wish
Speaker 18: we had something fun to talk about because I miss
Speaker 18: our fun conversation.
Speaker 1: I We'll do it next week when the dust has
Speaker 1: settled a little bit from this tragedy. God bless you,
