WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.519 As a boy from Peoria, Illinois, started singing about California 2 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:10.919 girls when he joined the Beach Boys as a replacement 3 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.880 for at least on the road of the late Brian Wilson, 4 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.879 Benjamin Baldwin. Bruce Johnston, Happy eighty third birthday today. As 5 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.120 you sing about our family, will. 6 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.480 East Coast girls are him by? 7 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.120 Really did those. 8 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.119 Styles they wear? And the Southern girls with the. 9 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.159 Way talking, they not be out when I'm the elder. 10 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.520 The men west farms todters. 11 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.439 Really make you feel alright. 12 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:57.640 And the Northern girls with the wags thinking their form, I. 13 00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.079 Wish they are. 14 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.760 On the vocals, on the bass, on the keyboards. Brian 15 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:23.560 Johnston's definitely maybe a latter day beach boy, but woven 16 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:28.719 into the fabric of that summer sound for sixty years 17 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:33.680 now and he turns eighty three. Also wrote, I write 18 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.000 the songs for Barry Manelow. That always mystified me when 19 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.959 I found that out, because I thought for years Barry Manila, 20 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.840 who wrote a lot of songs and jingles, wrote I 21 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.359 write the songs he sang it had to hit with it. 22 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.120 But Barry Manila didn't write I write the songs. Bruce 23 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.640 Johnston did little side note for you. It is June 24 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.400 the twenty seventh, twenty twenty five, and there's lots to 25 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.159 get to and we shall in good due time. My friends, 26 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.000 Gary Jeff Walker, we're in for Brian Thomas on this Friday. 27 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.760 Before we look in, I like to look back at 28 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.439 significant events and people tied to this particular date in 29 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.919 history June twenty seventh, including but not limited to these, 30 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.199 So we shall eighteen forty four Mormon leader Joseph Smith 31 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.319 and his brother Hyrum killed by a man in Carthage, Illinois. 32 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:26.960 Mormon martyrs on their westward track this date. In nineteen 33 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.000 fifty the UN Security Council, and how feckless and toothless 34 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.240 are they anyway, passed a resolution calling on member nations 35 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.800 helped South Korea repel an invasion from the North that 36 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.840 got us into one of those unending, untenable wars that 37 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.280 people are so afraid of now because of past performance 38 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.439 and past experiences. On June twenty seventh, nineteen fifty seven, 39 00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.960 Hurricane Audrey slammed into Louisiana and Texas a Category four, 40 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:08.000 causing as many as six hundred deaths. The Supreme Court 41 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:15.639 on this date just thirty four years ago. Welcome Thurgood Marshall. 42 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.680 Actually he was on his way out. He announced his retirement, 43 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.199 the first black justice on the highest court in the land. 44 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.199 And it was on this date twenty years ago the 45 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:31.520 BTK serial killer Dennis Rader pled guilty to ten murders 46 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.879 that had spread fears across Wichita, Kansas, starting back in 47 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.039 the nineteen seventies. This was a guy who was a 48 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.240 church elder, seemingly mild mannered family guy, and find out 49 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:51.599 he was an absolute monster. A constitutional amendment to ban 50 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.719 desecration of the American flag died in a US Senate 51 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.840 Cliff Hangar just nineteen years ago. They are resurrecting these, 52 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:08.639 these legislations that could make the burning or the desecration 53 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.840 of our American flag a crime. It fell just one 54 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.639 short of the sixty seven needed to send it for 55 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.480 states to ratification, to be ensconced, enshrined in our constitution. 56 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.360 It didn't happen. This was the year, well, twenty eleven, 57 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.279 the year this date, a former Illinois Governor Rod Blagoyevitch 58 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.160 convicted by a federal jury in Chicago corruption charges, allegations 59 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.959 that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's 60 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:47.439 US Senate seat, Lavoy Blagoyevitch eventually pardoned, of course, by 61 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:54.319 now President Trump.

We have 91 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.600 a numerous guests this morning. Joe isn't Dan Hills gonna 92 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.439 join us as well. Of course, just yesterday was the 93 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:32.279 tenth anniversary of the murder of Sonny Kim, the ambush 94 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:38.240 murder of a Cincinnati police officer, and we mark that 95 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:45.759 grim anniversary knowing that the threats are still out there 96 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.759 every day for the men and women who wear the 97 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:56.480 uniform to protect and to serve the public, to catch 98 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:03.240 the criminals, and hopefully have the criminal justice system give 99 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.720 us justice when they do catch the criminals, many times 100 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.360 in the act of their crimes. At eight oh five, 101 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:19.920 historian Richard Lyons on President Trump's ten years since he 102 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:24.160 came on to the national scene in a political fashion. 103 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.199 He came down the escalator back in twenty fifteen and 104 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.959 announced that he was running for president the first time, 105 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:38.159 and now in the midst of his second term, with 106 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:45.799 some pretty impressive and successful moments to mark in this 107 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:53.320 second term, especially lately. So that'll be an interesting conversation 108 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:58.679 with Richard Lyons, at least I'll pretend it's interesting, and 109 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:04.440 hopefully it will be for you. You. And then at eight 110 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:09.000 thirty five or eight thirty rather, we have JT. Young, 111 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.039 who's a brilliant guy. He writes for The Hill and 112 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.759 The Federalist and the American Spectator, and his thoughts on 113 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:23.600 what exactly is the Democrats problem. They are varied and 114 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:28.840 many in my opinion, And this thing that's happened in 115 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:34.200 New York City where basically a communist has won the 116 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:39.480 Democrat Party's nomination speaks volumes about where the Democrat Party is, 117 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.399 but I'll get JT's thoughts on that as well, and 118 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:47.200 you're always welcome to chime in, Joel, unbusy the lines 119 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:51.240 and unburdened us from what has been and let you 120 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.559 chime into on any topic that we tackle or anything 121 00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.240 that you want.

Gary, Jeff. 127 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.759 It's five point fifteen at fifty five KRC the talk station. 128 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:26.519 This just in Iran his being Bump love it. The 129 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.039 heat advisory will end tonight. Tomorrow's heat index will be 130 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.919 near one hundred. It's been just not one hundred and five. 131 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:41.240 Lord and Mercy, it's five nineteen on this Friday morning, 132 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:47.840 June twenty seventh. Well, uh, the animal in the room 133 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:53.960 is a Cincinnati Bengal. The animal in the county and 134 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.000 the Bengals in the County, of course, reached the new 135 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.840 lease steal to keep the team at pay Court stadium 136 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:09.519 another eleven years and starting this season, so the Bengals 137 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.320 are safe. They're not going anywhere Cincinnati. I know you 138 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.679 were all on pins and needles, and I gotta be 139 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.799 honest with you. I love football from September to February. 140 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.159 I am all in unprofessional football. The NFL, of course, 141 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.320 keeps the wheels moving all year long. The publicity machine 142 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:40.720 that never sleeps belongs to the National Football League, so 143 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.279 they're always in front of the public. I really I 144 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:50.960 tune out when they're not playing meaningful games, the first 145 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:55.559 actual game, not the fake football that they're still engaging 146 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:59.279 in because it's a money grab by teams like the 147 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:05.399 Bengals to play fake football games. I either don't count 148 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:10.559 in the standings, but the second they tee it up 149 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:17.240 for real, usually the first week in September, right after 150 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:22.200 Labor Day, and I'm in every week. And you know, 151 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.000 and I don't gamble. I'm not a fan dual guy 152 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.720 like most people. 153 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:28.080 I know. 154 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.600 I'm not betting wild parlays hoping to hit that one 155 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:39.279 that one time and become amazingly rich for my football 156 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.759 betting acumen. No, don't do that. I love the game. 157 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.919 I love to watch the game, and it's a made 158 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:53.320 for TV sport. If any other sport, Baseball, I think 159 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.519 is a sport where you really have to be at 160 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.720 the park to fully enjoy baseball. I mean, you can 161 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.720 listen to it on the radio. We have great broadcasts 162 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.799 here in town for that. You can watch it on television, 163 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.480 as I often do, but baseball is best observed in person. 164 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.360 Football isn't made for TV sport. That's where all the 165 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:24.279 money comes from. So you won't catch me at Paul 166 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.120 Brown Stadium in October, even before it's cold to enjoy 167 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.320 a Bengals game. Not because I wouldn't enjoy the game, 168 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.200 but it's just much better. I have a much better 169 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.440 seat at home that nobody has to subsidize except for 170 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:47.519 me paying the TV bill. But I love football. But 171 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.759 if there were no Bengals, what would your life be 172 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.799 like as a Cincinnatian? Think about it. You don't have to, 173 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.120 you don't have to imagine it right now, But I'm 174 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:04.840 just saying in this, in this most dire of all circumstances, 175 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.960 the Bengals moved out of Cincinnati like was threatened, which 176 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.360 sparked the first awful stadium deal in Cincinnati with the 177 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:16.279 County in nineteen ninety seven, what would your life be 178 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.679 like without the Bengals. I want you to reflect and 179 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:23.240 think about that and let me know if your life 180 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:28.240 would be lesser Because there's plenty of pro football to 181 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:34.440 go around. I mean, it's ubiquitous in the fall. I 182 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:38.759 mean there's there's at least five six games on every 183 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:45.240 weekend on national TV. You could still enjoy football if 184 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:47.679 the Bengals weren't here, But what would your life? Think 185 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.679 about this? And let me know at five poet three 186 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:55.279 seven four nine fifty five hundred. Again, it's not a 187 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.039 reality you're going to have to deal with obviously for 188 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:06.399 another decade. But would it really be a lesser life 189 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.679 if there were no Bengals, if there were no stadium 190 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:14.440 in Cincinnati that you're helping pay for. If you're a 191 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.759 county taxpayer and they talk about this deal being much 192 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:26.799 better for the taxpayer, what was Connie Pillage's quote yesterday? 193 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.559 Have reached a new lease agreement that delivers a win 194 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:36.600 for taxpayers in our community. What's the win the fact 195 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.360 that they're staying in city and what does that really 196 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:46.159 mean to you? It's once a week for seventeen weeks, 197 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:52.120 sixteen weeks and what's a win for taxpayers. Oh, you're 198 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.559 not getting soaked the way you got soaked in nineteen 199 00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.080 ninety seven, and the first deal for the stadium. As 200 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:05.519 much as I love football, my question is is it 201 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:10.840 really worth all that to you? I would love to know. 202 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.759 And I don't even have my call screen up, Joe, 203 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.039 so if somebody does, it looks like there's somebody on 204 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:25.879 the line who wanted to remark on that particular topic. 205 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.799 This is again, the question is being asked by me, 206 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:35.559 and it's coming from someone who really enjoys the NFL 207 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:42.399 during the regular season. But what does it really mean 208 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:46.360 to you? That's the question. Five twenty five at fifty 209 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:47.960 five krs the talk station. 210 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.279 Democrats are on a crazy train going so fast it's 211 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.360 time to get off the welcome motive. Democrats don't want 212 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.759 anyone to speak out against men and women's sports. 213 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.080 Judges who are just anti Trump railroad at the president. 214 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.680 If I feel like things are going off the rail, I'll. 215 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:09.200 Tell you all aboud to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton 216 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:18.279 Express are arriving today at noon fifty five RCD Talk 217 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.440 Station Nashville's Hottest vent. 218 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.079 It is five twenty eight and some change. Gary Jeffin 219 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.079 for Brian and a couple folks wanting to talk on 220 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:39.319 the topic Dazure in this half hour, which is the 221 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.480 Bengals in the county reaching a new lease deal to 222 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.799 keep the team at pay Corps Stadium. What would happen? 223 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.640 How would your life be affected if there were no 224 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:51.559 Bengals in Cincinnati anymore? Tom good morning, Thank good morning. 225 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.240 Their weather forecast. Does that mean I gotta wear my 226 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:55.559 zip up hoody tomorrow? 227 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:03.000 Yeah? You better, you better up on Saturday. The heat 228 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.240 advisory is over tonight, but tomorrow it's only going to 229 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.759 be up to one hundred so yes, yeah, So. 230 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:12.240 I mean I'm where I'm working right now, working in 231 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:14.640 the ac So as long as i'm inside, I'm pretty 232 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.119 much fine. 233 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:16.359 I'm there at the end of the day. 234 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.319 End of the day. Yesterday, me and the guy I'm 235 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.920 working with, we we go outside. We had to move 236 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.319 a ladder. It took him about five minutes or so, 237 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.519 and then walked to the car. And by the time 238 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.240 I got to the car, I was swating, like this 239 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.839 is ridiculous. It's too hot and I'm only parked across 240 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:37.400 the street. So anyway, enough whining about the weather. This, 241 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.480 this whole stadium deal is just another in a long 242 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:46.880 line of many I think wrong ideas of how government subsidizes, 243 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.960 even if it's just a percentage, subsidizes private business. I mean, 244 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.799 you're talking about a business that is pretty much a 245 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.359 prame press money, the NFL, and what do they need 246 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.440 tax dollars for? Really? I mean, these people are multi 247 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.720 billionaires that own it, and the and and the kids 248 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:09.519 that play are are they're just millionaires. But they need 249 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.279 our money to keep us to have a place to play, 250 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.640 I mean seriously, And so I don't know if you're 251 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.359 ever gonna do anything about it, uh and change it. 252 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.799 Uh maybe you can, that'd be great. But in the meantime, 253 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.240 something that would help stomach it a little bit is 254 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:29.119 if maybe each taxpayer Tom ticket or once a year, 255 00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:33.880 or you know, maybe a family of four four pact tickets. 256 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.920 There's something to each house per year, something like like 257 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.039 the zoo. Why can't each member of the the county, 258 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:43.680 I mean county pays for this, helps pay for the 259 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.559 due or my taxes go to the zoo. Why can't 260 00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.759 I get one free entry a year or something like that, 261 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.720 at least to say Hey, we we know you have 262 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.400 no choice in there. It's not up to you. We're 263 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.119 just signing this stuff and taking money out of your pocket. 264 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.400 But here you go here a little something at least 265 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.759 that would be nice though. And by the way, people 266 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.319 don't vote Democrat. I have a great week, Dad. 267 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:11.200 All right, Tom, thank you very much, Diane, your thoughts. 268 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.839 Diane, Oh, hello, Gary, Jeff Hi. 269 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:20.319 I think we wouldn't be any worse all if we 270 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:21.599 didn't have the Bengals here. 271 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.759 Why can't the Browns pay for their own situation? 272 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:32.200 It's crazy? How how many billions are they worth? 273 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:36.880 Listen. I am absolutely in lockstep with you and Tom 274 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:42.240 before you, Diane on this. I don't understand why I 275 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:48.640 thought we lived in a free enterprise society where if 276 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.160 you want to do something, you have the freedom of 277 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:55.160 the opportunity to do it, but you don't rely on 278 00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:02.079 public money to pursue your dreams. I mean, it is 279 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:07.720 the most anti capitalist kind of situation in the world. 280 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.279 We complain all the time about communism and socialism and 281 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.519 how evil it is and how it brings a society down, 282 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.279 and yet and the same time, on the other side 283 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.079 of our mouth, we're saying, oh, This is perfectly fine 284 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:27.480 for us to subsidize millionaires and billionaires with free places 285 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.599 to pursue their dreams and make their money on the 286 00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:37.400 public dole. It doesn't wash with a and it shows, 287 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.240 It shows, it shows through, it shows through crony capitalism. 288 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.519 How really socialist our nation has become? 289 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.079 That's true, But Jerry, why is anyone more three hundred 290 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.359 seventy five million dollars a throught football? 291 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.839 Well, a lot of people enjoy football. A lot of 292 00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:02.000 people enjoy a lot lot of people enjoy football. And 293 00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.079 would I enjoy it? 294 00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:05.240 I enjoy watching it? 295 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.000 Bench and complain if we didn't have a professional football 296 00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:14.119 team like we have since nineteen sixty seven, not then pay? 297 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.440 Then? 298 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.240 Yeah? I know. I mean, if it's voluntarily coming out 299 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.839 of my pocket as a taxpayer, that's one thing. But 300 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.680 if they're doing it through coercion, through the point of 301 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.519 a government gun and saying no, you're helping pay for 302 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:36.200 the stadium for the Brown family, Yeah, it just doesn't 303 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:42.079 wash for a lot of us. But again, if we 304 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:53.640 live in a free society, we're free enterprise and entrepreneurship 305 00:22:53.680 --> 00:23:01.319 and capitalism. Why are we subsidizing projects people can make money? 306 00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:05.160 Why are we subject not just the Bengals Stadium, but 307 00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:09.319 anything any business? Why do we give tax abatements here 308 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:13.240 and there to certain people so they can build this 309 00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:18.680 or that. I mean, it's going on right now full 310 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:25.640 scale in the city of Newport, Kentucky, with ovation and 311 00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:31.319 corporate X and they are abandoning small businesses on Mama 312 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:39.799 Street and elsewhere to focus on big corporate entities who 313 00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:44.400 are getting huge, huge tax breaks that the rest of 314 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:49.920 the population isn't privy to. It goes on all the 315 00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.920 time everywhere. It went on in Cincinnati with the banks, 316 00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:56.480 and now it's going on again with the Bengals Stadium. 317 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:12.200 It's seemingly unending where the haves keep getting more than 318 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:16.680 their share of the public dole and the have nots 319 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:25.000 continue to pay for it. And in this republic the 320 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.279 way it was envisioned, that seems antithetical to what this 321 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:36.839 country's supposed to be about. So you know, in that way, 322 00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:42.640 is the subsidiation of the Bengals Stadium continuing for another 323 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:50.839 eleven years? Is it really anti American? If you balance 324 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:55.640 that with the with what we were all taught this 325 00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:01.119 republic was supposed to be about. I don't know, five 326 00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:04.440 point thirty six. It's fifty five KRC the talk station 327 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:06.559 fifty five KRC dot Com. 328 00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:07.920 I'm doctor Damon Tanton. 329 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.680 Howdy, Good morning TGIF Gary Jeff been for Brian Thomas 330 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.680 on this Friday, June twenty seven, twenty minutes until the 331 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:26.880 top of the hour, and just this discussion of Tom 332 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:31.200 talking about moving a ladder yesterday and being out of 333 00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:36.039 the truck for two minutes and walking around with a 334 00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:40.319 puddle of sweat underneath him. The same people that complain 335 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.079 about how hot it is right now are the ones 336 00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:47.599 who in February will be complaining about how cold it is. 337 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.559 There's nothing you can do about the weather, but I 338 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.799 guess some complain about it if it makes you feel 339 00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:01.599 better to complain. I like it hot, some like it hot, 340 00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:03.839 and some sweat when the heat is on. I remember that. 341 00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:10.599 But I actually love this time of year because I 342 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.240 can't stand the cold. But I don't bitch on both 343 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:21.880 sides of the coin. I'm always cold, too cold around 344 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:28.079 here in January February unless we get one of those 345 00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.880 every once in a while rare warm spells during our 346 00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:36.359 four months of gray in this area of the country. 347 00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.559 But long I look forward to this. My wife, on 348 00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:42.119 the other hand, and I think women have a tougher 349 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:47.880 time than real men with hot weather. But my wife 350 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:50.400 just wants to sit inside in the air conditioning. You 351 00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:53.279 may be that person too, and that's fine. But I 352 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:59.400 want to get outside the sunshining. It's warm, it's hot, 353 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.960 I'm sweating. It's good. I'm releasing the toxins that are 354 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.759 built up over the last few months sitting inside in 355 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:17.279 my cave. I mean, I just I don't think that 356 00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.920 it's good for people just to sit inside in their cave. 357 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:28.079 It is historically correct a fact that more people die 358 00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:32.640 from the cold than the heat. And yet you'll hear 359 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.079 people this time of year, especially during a spell like 360 00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:39.839 this where we've got heat index or indices, let's be correct, 361 00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:43.920 heat in disease above one hundred. You will hear them say, 362 00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:49.720 I felt like I was gonna die. I'm melting. This 363 00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:57.200 is incredibly hot. Grab yourself a big glass something with 364 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:03.640 ice in it, hopefully some healthy and refreshing, stay hydrated, 365 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:08.920 but enjoy this because historically, throughout the history of man, 366 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:18.680 hot weather doesn't kill people. Cold weather kills people. But 367 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:20.799 I think you'll find it's true, and you may be 368 00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:24.200 one of these people complaining about the hot spell we're 369 00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:27.440 going through right now and how terrible it is. The 370 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:31.640 Only thing I don't like about it are the damn 371 00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.599 electric bills from running the air conditioner all the time. 372 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:40.079 But no, I mean, if you're one of those people 373 00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.960 who are find yourself complaining about the heat right now, 374 00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:46.599 you will look back and reflect and say, oh, I 375 00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:50.400 do the same thing when it's ten degrees outside. It's 376 00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:56.240 too cold human nature. Perhaps I'm just saying I like it. 377 00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:01.960 I want more of it now. I'm not gonna like 378 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:05.240 turn my AC off when I'm inside my house. I'm 379 00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:09.640 going to enjoy that, mind you, But I want to 380 00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:14.440 get outside. My wife just sits there like a bump 381 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:19.519 on the couch. I don't want to go outside. It's 382 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:23.720 too hot. Sit there and veg out in front of 383 00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:31.640 the television in the air conditioned comfort. Her prerogative, and 384 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:35.559 you know, I guess we share expenses, so she's helping 385 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:39.519 pay the electric bill. But uh, there you go. Food 386 00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:40.720 for thought. Don't eat too much. 387 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:42.079 I like it. 388 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:47.279 Give me more, Give me more, and I will be 389 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:52.359 outside enjoying it. Five point forty five, Good morning, fifty 390 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.960 five KRC. The Talk station. In this edition of the 391 00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:59.400 Marketers Report, we're starting out mostly clear and muggy this morning, 392 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:02.359 on our way to a high of ninety two. The 393 00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:05.880 clouds will become more prominent as we roll through the day. 394 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:07.960 There is a chance for pomp up afternoon and evening 395 00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:12.319 storms as well, and still really hot high in this 396 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.920 afternoon ninety two. I love it heat index around one 397 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.720 hundred to one hundred and two. The heat advisory is 398 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:20.640 set to end tonight at eight pm, and as Tom 399 00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:24.559 mentioned earlier in the hour, you might need that pullover 400 00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:27.200 hoodie tomorrow because we're only going to get up to 401 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:31.960 eighty eight with a heat index in the nineties Sunday, 402 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.839 Partly cloudy, storm chances mostly likely later in the day 403 00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:38.720 on Sunday, and a high once again in the upper eighties. 404 00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:42.720 A muggy weekend. They had no doubt seventy two degrees 405 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:44.799 right now, and then check on the roads. 406 00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.680 Here's Heather from the U SEE Health Traffic Center.

Traveling northbound 411 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.440 seventy five, it's under ten minutes out earlier to the 412 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.440 Brent Spence Bridge. Also, southbound seventy one is under fifteen 413 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:14.200 minutes from Blue Ash into town. I'm Heather Pasco on 414 00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.519 fifty five KRC, the talk station. 415 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.240 People advising you all the time, and I would echo 416 00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:26.000 this not to vote Democrat, but of course in New 417 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:31.880 York City it's another subject entirely where it's all Democrat 418 00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:37.759 all the time. And in their primary on Tuesday, as 419 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:39.839 you know, for the next mayor of New York City, 420 00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:44.880 for the Democrat nomination, it was a former governor, Andrew Cuomo, 421 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:49.680 who left under a cloud of a sex scandal, resigned 422 00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:52.519 the governorship and decided it'd be a good idea. The 423 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:58.400 same guy, of course, who killed thousands of grandparents by 424 00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:07.440 shoving them into into nursing homes that were COVID beehives 425 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:16.400 back during the scamdemic in twenty one. That guy. So 426 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.920 they were putting him up against an avowed socialist, I 427 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:26.480 say communist who has zero experience of doing anything except 428 00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:32.559 promising people things on TikTok, like government owned grocery stores, 429 00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:40.759 free transcare on the taxpayer dime and free transportation, free this, 430 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:43.160 free that, free everything, and of course, as we know, 431 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:47.720 nothing is free, somebody's got to pay for it. And 432 00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.400 there are a bunch of citizens of New York City 433 00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:54.400 who are making the b line out of the Big Apple, 434 00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:59.559 or at least contemplating it now because they really really 435 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.839 don't want to get soaked for all the promises this 436 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.720 moron is making. Who won the Democrat primary on Tuesday, 437 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:18.279 Mandani Zavon Mondani born in Uganda, over educated, indoctrinated in 438 00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:22.400 the Ivy League. I believe he went to Harvard, one 439 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.000 of the Ivy League schools, and of course is a 440 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:31.119 wash with communist and socialists and Marxist and now he 441 00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:32.880 wants to be the next mayor of New York City 442 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:36.920 and very well could win that election in November, which 443 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.759 shocked a lot of people, but it shows you exactly. 444 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:47.200 I think he's a good thing. Very well polished campaign. 445 00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:51.240 The man run and he's very shiny. He's very slick 446 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.839 in that way, very much like af tab Pirval, the 447 00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:01.039 Cincinnati mayor. Very very well polished. What is it saying 448 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:09.800 you can polish a turd and it still is that aside, 449 00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:14.199 I say it's a good thing because the Democrats are 450 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:20.920 showing you exactly who they are. They're not pretending anymore 451 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:26.960 as a party to believe in the American dream. They're 452 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:34.000 not pretending anymore that they're actually for representative democracy. They're 453 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:37.360 showing their hand, and you finally have a clear choice 454 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:42.480 at the polls. And again, this is not Democrat bad, 455 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:51.559 Republican good. This is communism, Marxism bad, freedom good, because 456 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:59.559 the two parties have finally really really separated themselves and 457 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.400 showing us who they are. They're not hiding it anymore. 458 00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.639 They used to hide it. They used to pretend that 459 00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:08.960 they're all about democracy, they used to pretend that they're 460 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:16.719 all about American ideals. And the Democrats aren't pretending anymore. 461 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:27.800 So the voter has a clear choice. 462 00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:23.599 And. 463 00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:29.320 The Democrats had a choice. And since they're kind of 464 00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:34.760 leaderless and rudderless right now, this is where they've moved 465 00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:40.840 to the all out communist Marxist socialist. Vent've been headed 466 00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:43.559 that way for years, but they finally have defined themselves 467 00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:50.719 that way. When Donald Trump won the presidential election for 468 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.320 a second time in twenty four and the Maga movement 469 00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:57.960 put him and the Republicans over the top in a 470 00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:02.199 leadership position in our federal government. When that When that occurred, 471 00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:07.199 the Democrats had the choice of either being mag Alite 472 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:13.320 in other words, yeah, they're they're doing the right things, 473 00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.559 they're just doing them the wrong way. Let us let 474 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:17.760 us show you how to do these things that are 475 00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:21.280 good for the most of the majority of the American people, 476 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.599 or they had a choice to go full on COMMI, 477 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:29.000 which they have done. So the lines are clearly defined now. 478 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.519 And there may be quote unquote moderate Democrats out there 479 00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:39.280 like John Fetterman, and I would suggest to them there 480 00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:44.440 is room for them either in independent parties or in 481 00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:48.760 the Republican Party, because otherwise, with your continued affiliation with 482 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.960 the Democrats, you're just admitting that you're in favor of 483 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.599 communism and Marxism and minority rule over what the majority 484 00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:01.079 of the country wants. Because majority of the country does 485 00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:10.039 not want taxpayer dollars going to transgender care or transgender medicaid. 486 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:13.599 The majority of the country does not want government run 487 00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:17.760 grocery stores. The majority of the country does not want 488 00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:27.239 to subsidize bus service for criminals. In any large metropolitan area. 489 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:33.159 Maybe New York City has showed their hand with the 490 00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:38.079 this guy's win in the primary, Mondani's win in the primary, 491 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.079 maybe New York City has gone full on Marxist. Now 492 00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.880 it's hard to believe that eight million people want that, 493 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.599 because I truly believe they don't. And in every situation 494 00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:54.599 where there is communism, socialism, Marxism, ten percent of the 495 00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:59.159 people control. The other ninety percent has nothing to do 496 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:05.800 with democracy or fairness or equality. It's just totalitarian control, 497 00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:12.599 and that's what they're after. Into story Another hour ahead 498 00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:14.760 on this Friday morning, Gary Jeff and for Brian on 499 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:16.719 fifty five KRS the talk station. 500 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:19.920 Big things are happening, breaking news happening.

He writes the songs, which actually 508 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.400 this song was written by Bruce Johnston, not Barry Manilow. 509 00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:51.199 But we had to play Barry Manilowe because he had 510 00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.559 to hit with it number one and number two because 511 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:59.320 it's West Side Jim's favorite artist.

But we didn't have any ac we 538 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:23.079 weren't conditioned. We were just we were just sucking it 539 00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:25.039 up and we were enjoying the heat. 540 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:29.559 Jim, Well, I'd walk to school back and forth twenty 541 00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:30.519 miles every day. 542 00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.679 It was only it was only a few blocks. It 543 00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:34.960 was only a few blocks for me. 544 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.960 So anyway, And I want to thank the Bengals because 545 00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:43.679 the three year deal to days or three year the 546 00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:46.519 three decade deal that they just put through. I will 547 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:49.039 be long gone before I have to listen to Aleisia 548 00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:53.239 Reese again talk about taxpayers and how how they got 549 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.800 screwed on this deal, how they get screwed every time 550 00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:59.079 you turn around, because she'll still be in that office 551 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:01.960 and she'll still be talk in the fact that the 552 00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:04.760 taxpayers are getting screwed, the taxpayers are getting screwed. 553 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:08.800 Well, I mean, it's it's easy. It's easy to point 554 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:11.719 out the fact that taxpayers are getting screwed when you're 555 00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:14.760 one of the ones that are doing the screwing exactly, 556 00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.400 but just in a different place and not at pay 557 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:18.519 Court Stadium maybe. 558 00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:21.079 And what does she do as soon as the Bengals 559 00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:23.559 went to the playoffs. She went down the cook Sporting 560 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:26.400 Goods as a plug and bought all kind of. 561 00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:29.480 Garb to wear to the playoffs. 562 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.519 And it was her face was on TV every time 563 00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.079 you turned around, talk about how great the Bengals are. 564 00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:38.199 And now she doesn't give a damn about the Bengals. 565 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:41.000 It's about the taxpayers. About the taxpayers. 566 00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:44.119 Well, you know, I love I love the fact that 567 00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:48.199 there's professional football. I you know, when I lived moved 568 00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:50.960 to Nashville. When I lived in Nashville, we didn't have 569 00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:54.119 the Titans yet. They hadn't come to town. So this 570 00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:56.719 was the first time in my adult life I'd ever 571 00:41:56.800 --> 00:42:00.000 lived anywhere that had a professional football team in the NFL, 572 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.639 the Cincinnati Bengals. And I'm glad that I live in 573 00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.840 a town that has a professional football team. But my 574 00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:11.960 life wouldn't be any lesser if there were no Bengals here. Now, 575 00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:14.480 you've been a lifelong Bengals fan, Jim, I know that, 576 00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:17.039 and you probably feel differently than I do about it. 577 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.000 Yeah, yeah, I do, because I've been around them since 578 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:24.760 like everybody in nineteen sixty eight up up at the 579 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:26.679 UC watching them, I did. 580 00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:27.320 I was there. 581 00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:29.519 My dad used to take me to those games, right, 582 00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:31.079 So I was. 583 00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:34.840 The propaganda that went into my brain about the fact 584 00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:37.000 that we got a professional football team. Back then, we 585 00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.840 probably had I don't know, twenty twenty four teams. Now 586 00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:42.800 we got thirty two. I'm glad we got that. I 587 00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:45.559 heard a figure last night, and I know it's not 588 00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:48.840 I'm not totally right, but it's like eight to ten 589 00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:54.639 billion dollars in revenue comes in from these teams into 590 00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:58.039 a city because of what they do in advertising and 591 00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:00.480 you know, merchandise and when they go to the. 592 00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:02.119 Playoffs and YadA, YadA, YadA. 593 00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:05.480 Now Mike Brown, I mean he's squeezing every penny he 594 00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:06.039 can get. 595 00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:07.280 But on a. 596 00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:11.159 Normal Jerry Jones basis, these guys are bringing in a 597 00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:12.119 lot of tax money. 598 00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:13.119 And you know. 599 00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:17.360 There's Alisha Reese, Alisha. If you think about the money 600 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:19.639 that for the Bengals bring in, what if we didn't 601 00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.000 have the Bengals, what will we do with that hole 602 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.159 in the in the ground down there on the riverfront 603 00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:29.039 holding jazz festivals one time a year and having no 604 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.480 tax money coming out from the Bengals have selling merchandise. 605 00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:36.079 Can you imagine the Toledo Bengals. No, I can't see 606 00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:37.760 the Toledo Bengals. 607 00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:40.960 Yeah, they could expand the Freedom Center. They could they 608 00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:43.639 increase the size of the Slave Museum. Jim. 609 00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:50.599 Well, that's probably true, but I will admit I have 610 00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.400 been in there twice, and that was where people that 611 00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:56.960 got elected when they had, you know, their ceremonies down there. 612 00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:00.880 So there's places I do go to places I don't go. 613 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.159 And then and I don't go to the Art Museum. 614 00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:05.440 I've been to that probably once or twice in my life. 615 00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:09.679 But that's tax money, So I do spend tax money. 616 00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:11.760 You've been going, You've been going. You've been going to 617 00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:15.079 OTR or downtown or the West End recently. Probably not 618 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.280 a great idea, not good for your health, Jim. 619 00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:22.400 I wear my vest and I head down for a Hamburger. Sure, 620 00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.400 why not? I know people to go down there, and 621 00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:29.079 I keep telling them, why why do you go there? Well, 622 00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:32.320 they say it's safe. Oh who got shot last night? 623 00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:35.159 How many people died last night. Let's listen to the 624 00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.280 police chief and then the county you know whatever her 625 00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:44.480 name is mc mcgruffer. People dying over to Rye Gary. Jeff, 626 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:45.239 it's not safe. 627 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:47.920 There have been there have been eleven murders in this 628 00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:51.679 city in fifteen days, Jim, eleven and fifty. That's almost 629 00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:55.679 one a day. And they're telling me violent crime is down. 630 00:44:56.320 --> 00:45:01.239 Huh, we're fighting to bea Chicago. We're beating them per capita. 631 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:06.599 We are beating Chicago. Well, it's a weekend. 632 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:09.599 At least the city could beat the city. Since the 633 00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:11.280 Reds can't seem to beat the Cubs. 634 00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:16.480 Well, I know, but hey, at least we're winning ball games. 635 00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:16.920 You know, we're not. 636 00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:18.000 We're not down there. 637 00:45:18.239 --> 00:45:20.239 They're close to five hundred or a little bit over 638 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:22.840 five hundred, and then they go back to over five hundred. 639 00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:27.280 You know. It's it's an entertainment, that's what it is, simply, simply, 640 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.400 just like the Bengals. We love the playoffs. But if not, 641 00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:33.239 don't get all freaked out and start fights when Pittsburgh 642 00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:37.159 comes to town. I mean, just enjoy the entertainment factor 643 00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:40.519 and spend money. So Alicia Reese has something to gripe 644 00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:41.639 about for the taxpayer. 645 00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:45.519 So the county is spending three hundred and fifty dollars 646 00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.400 on uh, keeping the entertainment on the river. 647 00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:50.639 That's what it seems like. 648 00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.159 Does and now, of course, but most of my My 649 00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:57.000 spewing this morning was tongue in cheek because. 650 00:45:56.760 --> 00:45:59.559 I don't like how long it took for the deal. 651 00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:00.760 Deal deal. 652 00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:03.719 They could have They could have hammered this thing out 653 00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:07.760 in a week. It's kind of like the Trey Henderson deal, 654 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.119 you know. Get him in a room, get it done, 655 00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:11.400 and get it over with. 656 00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:12.159 And just move on. 657 00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:15.440 And then Lesha Reese could talk about how much tax 658 00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:16.320 money he's paying. 659 00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:21.519 Well, you know, maybe maybe if President Trump weren't working 660 00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:24.840 on truly important things instead of that, he he could 661 00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:26.880 have come to town and say, you don't know what 662 00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:30.960 the f you're doing and get things done. I mean, 663 00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:33.559 Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame, Trum Trump Trump, 664 00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:35.880 Trump could come down. Trump could come down there and 665 00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:39.199 get him in a room and make a deal. Wouldn't 666 00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:40.400 there or you know what? 667 00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:41.800 He do them. 668 00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:47.280 All right? Jimmy, it's good. It's always good to hear 669 00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:49.119 from you, my friend. And I know you're a huge 670 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:51.440 Bengals fan. You have been since the inception of the 671 00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:54.599 franchise back in the sixties as a little kid. You 672 00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.320 grew up with it. It's been a part of your 673 00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.960 life the entire time. So it's good to hear that perspective, 674 00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:05.400 because my life would not be any different if they 675 00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:06.239 left tomorrow. 676 00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:11.280 Here, Gary Jeff is the Bengals and female roller derby. 677 00:47:11.559 --> 00:47:15.079 Yeah, baby, you know what I could go for some 678 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:16.679 female roller derby. 679 00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:18.440 Town. 680 00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.639 I grew up with the lat Birds and the Chicago 681 00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:26.559 the Kansas City Bombers. I love female roller derby. You 682 00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:30.360 ever seen Raquel Welch on skates six fifteen and fifty 683 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:35.159 five KRC the talk station our iHeartRadio music. Good morning, 684 00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:40.800 greeting salutations. I'm Gary Jeff Walker. It's a Friday morning, 685 00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:47.039 fifty five KRC and for Brian Thomas today. Coming up 686 00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:50.719 on twenty minutes past the hour, and just after six thirty, 687 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.320 Dave Hatter from Interest it will be joining us. So 688 00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:58.840 it's tech talk on a Friday. As per usual, I 689 00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:02.440 get these emails from a guy named Glenn Harmier. I 690 00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:07.039 know Brian receives them too from time to time, and 691 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:10.000 they are copies of letters he sends to the Cincinnati 692 00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:17.159 Inquirer editorial board, letters to the editor, and he sends 693 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:22.480 them out to us because most of the time the 694 00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:27.599 Cincinnati Inquirer editorial board letters to the editor, folks ignore 695 00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:34.599 his commentaries and his editorials because they fly in the 696 00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:40.800 face of their very obvious liberal bias many times. So 697 00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.840 there's a point, but there's never any counterpoint, or hardly 698 00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.880 ever any counterpoint with the Inquirer when it comes to 699 00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:55.199 letters to the editor editorials. But this came yesterday, actually 700 00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:59.039 at three eighteen this morning, from Glenn to the Cincinnati 701 00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.639 Inquirer Editorial Board. Letters to the editor of the front 702 00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:04.880 page headline of the Thursday, June twenty sixth inquir read 703 00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:11.760 pervol unacceptable rise in Cincinnati crime. Glenn writes, there is 704 00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:17.159 that word again, unacceptable, that seems to be the go 705 00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:19.880 to word for the mayor after every major crime or 706 00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:23.440 active violence that takes place in Cincinnati. When a police 707 00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:25.679 officer was attacked in Sawy your point in July of 708 00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:31.639 twenty twenty three, it was unacceptable, unacceptable in quotes, when 709 00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:35.360 teenagers were attacking people downtown in January of twenty twenty four, 710 00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:40.880 it was unacceptable. When Patrick Herringer was recently killed and 711 00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:45.719 is over the Rhine home, it was unacceptable. And now 712 00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:52.159 there is an unacceptable rise in Cincinnati crime. In this 713 00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.920 Reason article, the mayor is quoted as saying, too many 714 00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:57.800 residents are becoming victims. Right now, too many neighbors are 715 00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:02.480 concerned about the safety of their streets. In a previous article, 716 00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:06.079 the mayor was quoted as saying, I am ultimately responsible 717 00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:13.079 for keeping residents safe, and Glenn questions, how has the 718 00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:16.199 mayor been doing in that responsibility. I think most Cincinnati 719 00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:22.639 residents would say unacceptable. I believe families, they're victims or 720 00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:25.480 victims their families, and residents are getting tired of hearing 721 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:29.440 the unacceptable word without seeing any effective efforts to control 722 00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:33.039 the increasing incidents of crime and violence. There is a 723 00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:36.039 mayoral election this year. Perhaps a change in the mayor's 724 00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:42.280 office is the next step. Thanks for taking time to 725 00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:46.320 read and consider my comments. Glenn Harmyer, cole Raine Township. 726 00:50:50.639 --> 00:51:00.639 My question is when the mayor says that the rise 727 00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:08.480 in crime is unacceptable, what's an acceptable rise in crime? 728 00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:13.079 Isn't any rise in crime, whether it be violent or just, 729 00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:18.000 crime against taxpayers, against citizens trying to live their lives 730 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:21.639 and to enjoy public safety. Isn't any rise in crime 731 00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:32.079 unacceptable or what is the acceptable rate? From twenty to 732 00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:35.159 twenty two to twenty twenty three, crime went up twelve 733 00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.360 point eight percent in over the Rhine downtown in the 734 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:42.920 West End. From twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four, 735 00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.880 it went up ten point two percent in those neighborhoods. 736 00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:51.599 So far this year's it's up thirty six point three percent. 737 00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:57.559 And when it comes to violent crime, OTR and Downtown 738 00:51:57.639 --> 00:52:01.519 are up over a three year average, not down, As 739 00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:08.239 Police Chief Teresichi says, that's a tough that's a tough 740 00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:14.760 name to say, Teresa Thigi. But again, my question is 741 00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:20.480 what's an acceptable rise in crime. Isn't any rise at 742 00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:27.760 all in crime unacceptable as far as public safety goes 743 00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:39.119 and the mayor's responsibility unacceptable is unacceptable, and it should 744 00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:41.760 be considered when you go to the polls. We'll be 745 00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:46.400 talking to mayoral candidate Corey Bowman at seven oh five 746 00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:48.800 and maybe he can tell me what an acceptable rise 747 00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:53.440 in crime is, since we all know this is unacceptable, 748 00:52:55.119 --> 00:53:03.239 untenable and shouldn't be tolerated by anyone. One six twenty 749 00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:05.760 five fifty five KRCV talk station. 750 00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:10.519 Your morning Espresso starts right here. 751 00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:14.320 It's the Sean Hannity Morning Minute. 752 00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:20.440 Natasha Bertrand triumphantly claiming that the president strikes were not successful, 753 00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:24.039 did not obliterator ends nuclear sites Okay, the same reporter 754 00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:29.360 who compidently authored the untrue story in twenty twenty, Hunter 755 00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:32.400 Biden's story is Russian disinformation. 756 00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:33.639 Whoopsie Daisy. 757 00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:37.880 The same reporter who somehow believed that actual Russian disinformation 758 00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:42.880 in the dirty Russian Hillary Clinton paid for dossier was 759 00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:44.199 totally legitimate. 760 00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:44.679 You know. 761 00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:46.719 An op ed in the Washington Post accused her of 762 00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:51.679 bootstrapping the dossier into an MSNBC DNC gig. I mean, 763 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:55.119 how this person has a job? Is CNN earned their 764 00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:56.480 name fake news CNN? 765 00:53:56.840 --> 00:54:01.000 They earned it The Sean Hannity Show from Coast to 766 00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:03.280 Coast later today. 767 00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:08.400 Hey, Sean Hannity here. You know, crime continues to go up. 768 00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.360 Violence is happening in small towns and big cities all 769 00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:14.199 around the country. That means that you need something on 770 00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:18.280 you at all times. Now, Berner BYRNA, they want you 771 00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:21.440 to conceal everywhere you go, and that's why they made 772 00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:23.519 their brand new compact launcher. 773 00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:27.880 How did as the World's the Eye in the sky 774 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:35.920 is watching always?

Dave Hatter, 779 00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:51.119 good morning, How are you. 780 00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:53.760 I'm good Gary, Jeff, how are you. 781 00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:58.280 I'm looking at this this picture of you. People hear 782 00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.599 you on the radio and occasionally see you on television. 783 00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:04.320 But this picture of you with John matte Reice on 784 00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:06.119 Channel nine. 785 00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:09.159 Looking semi professional for a change there. 786 00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:12.599 Well, I mean, and you see that you do a 787 00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:16.440 lot of radio stuff and you're not a television personality 788 00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:20.000 per se. But I would say that you look better 789 00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:21.599 than matte Reice by far. 790 00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:27.519 Well, I will take the compliment and I will plead 791 00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:30.840 the fish. 792 00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:33.920 This was a story that Channel nine ran that you 793 00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:39.360 were involved with on online shopping. Now, see, I am 794 00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:42.920 a stranger to online shopping. My wife not so much. 795 00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:47.280 In fact, she's probably done Christmas shopping for the next 796 00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:50.719 five years online already in June of twenty twenty five. 797 00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:55.440 I do not do this. So this may not be 798 00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:59.320 pertinent or apply to me, But to many people, online 799 00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:03.800 shopping is so that's the way they shop. And there 800 00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:06.039 are a lot of things to look out for, aren't there? 801 00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:07.400 There are? 802 00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:10.119 Now, I don't do a whole lot of online shopping, 803 00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:12.039 but I don't do a whole lot of shopping Gary, Jeff, 804 00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:15.760 I'm in the same boat as you. You know, it 805 00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:20.119 seems like every day if I'm working from home, the 806 00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:23.880 Amazon truck out there and the ups fed ex. 807 00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:24.199 Et cetera. 808 00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:26.559 They're just running up my street. And you know, there's 809 00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:29.239 like a path through my grass to the front door 810 00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:34.039 for the stuff that's showing up continuously. So I understand, Yeah, 811 00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:35.719 there are a lot of things to look out for. 812 00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:37.119 You know. 813 00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:41.280 I think back in the day when online commerce e 814 00:56:41.320 --> 00:56:44.239 commerce first became a thing, people had all kinds of concerns, 815 00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:47.119 and you know, obviously most of those have been unfounded. 816 00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:48.519 People shop online. 817 00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:52.559 I think probably most people do most of their shopping 818 00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:54.639 online at this point. When you look at the numbers 819 00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:58.440 from things like Black Friday and you know, Christmas shopping 820 00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:00.360 and so forth, the numbers just seem to get larger 821 00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:02.760 and larger and larger. Itsier, and I get the convenience 822 00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:06.239 factor of it. It's nice to be able to, you know, 823 00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:09.000 shop multiple sites at one time, try to find the 824 00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.199 best deal, have things shipped to you from the comfort 825 00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:14.599 of your home, especially around the holidays. And not fighting 826 00:57:14.639 --> 00:57:17.719 the crowds. But like so many things you and I 827 00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:20.800 talk about all the time, and John points out in 828 00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.960 this story, there's just a never ending stream of scams 829 00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:27.159 out there, whether it's you know, phishing emails that claim 830 00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:28.840 to be a deal that's too good to be true 831 00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.920 and you get there and it's some kind of just 832 00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:34.320 straight up scam, or they're sending you to some kind 833 00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:38.800 of garbage in place of whatever it is you think 834 00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:42.440 you ordered, or it's the kind of thing he's talking 835 00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:45.199 about here. And this goes back to something you and 836 00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:47.239 I have talked about so many times as it relates 837 00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.679 to scams. It's so easy for the bad guys to 838 00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:53.360 spoof things, to make something that looks real but isn't. 839 00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:56.840 It's so easy to set up a website, a copy 840 00:57:56.880 --> 00:58:00.559 and existing website and paste it in. Essentially it costs 841 00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:02.599 next to nothing to do this. It's easy for the 842 00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:06.960 bad guys. And what he what he dives into here 843 00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:10.239 is the idea of these super deep discount shops. So 844 00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:13.400 you know, these internet trends hit all the time, here's 845 00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:16.760 the cool thing to buy. You know, until recently, Gary, Jeff, 846 00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:18.800 I'm so square. I had no idea what a hay 847 00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:20.840 dude shoe is. I'm sure you probably have a whole 848 00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:23.159 closet full right like a middle of Marcos level. 849 00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:27.000 No, Dave, I'm reading the article and I see hey 850 00:58:27.079 --> 00:58:30.159 dude shoes for just seven dollars, and I'm like, okay, 851 00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:31.920 so yeah, yeah. 852 00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:34.079 That's exactly my thank it for. 853 00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:37.679 Well, I'm not sure what that hey dude shoe even is, 854 00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:42.440 but what he's trying to bring to attention, and you know, 855 00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:45.039 I appreciate the opportunity to work with you and him 856 00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:47.000 and all these folks to just try to get the 857 00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:50.079 word out to folks. Is you know, again, when a 858 00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:52.840 what a trend catches hold, whether there's some hot new 859 00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:55.559 product or whatever out there, it's really easy for the 860 00:58:55.559 --> 00:58:58.679 bad guys to set up a fake site to make 861 00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.480 it feel real, to send that emails and texts. I 862 00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:05.159 lately have been getting just a ridiculous amount of clearly 863 00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:08.480 focused texts not necessarily related to this, just in general. 864 00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:10.960 You know your phone number has been leaked so many 865 00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:13.679 times now, it's easy for the bad guys to get 866 00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:16.079 It's easy to write a program that can just literally 867 00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:19.280 generate every US phone number because they follow a known pattern. 868 00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:22.039 My point being it's it's so easy for the bad 869 00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:26.880 guys to get to you social media, email, text, whatever. 870 00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:28.960 It's easy for them to set up these fake sites. 871 00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:32.079 And I mean, and sometimes it's it's a partial scam. 872 00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:33.440 You know, you're going to send your money in and 873 00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:35.079 they're going to send you a product. It's going to 874 00:59:35.079 --> 00:59:37.239 be a knockoff, it's going to be some cheap garbage, 875 00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:39.159 it's not going to be what you're paid for. And 876 00:59:39.199 --> 00:59:41.599 in other cases it's just a straight up scam. You know, 877 00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:43.639 they make it look realistic. You send your money and 878 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:46.239 you never get anything right because most of the time 879 00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:49.199 they're off shore somewhere in a place where at best 880 00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:51.159 the country turns a blind eye to it, and at 881 00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:54.159 worst they're complicit in it. So yeah, it's important to 882 00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:56.400 understand that. You know, the old adage is still true, 883 00:59:56.480 --> 00:59:58.559 Gary Jeff. Like so many things, if it's if the 884 00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:02.480 deal seems too good to be true, probably is Be careful, 885 01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.760 move cautiously. Check sites like the Better Business Brew and remember, 886 01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:09.360 just because you see online reviews on one of these 887 01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:11.960 sites doesn't mean they're not fake too, right, That's really 888 01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:12.920 really easy to do. 889 01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:16.440 So, did your curiosity get the best of you Dave 890 01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:20.039 Hadter and you and you did some research. What are 891 01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:22.599 hey dude shoes? And why are why is it seven 892 01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:23.800 dollars deal? 893 01:00:24.719 --> 01:00:27.639 They're, as best I can tell, kind of like slip 894 01:00:27.679 --> 01:00:32.280 on shoes, and they kind of remind me. Now I'm 895 01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:34.960 old enough, Garrett, you have to remember the van's craze 896 01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:39.320 in the eighties. This reminds me a little bit of that, 897 01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:42.400 because the ones I've seen anyway kind of slip on, 898 01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:47.519 some kind of casual comfort focus shoes. They they look 899 01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:50.639 to me, I don't own any kind of cheap but 900 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:52.800 for whatever reason, I don't know if it's the name. 901 01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:53.920 I don't know if it's. 902 01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:56.000 The style, because they've got a lot of different styles 903 01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:57.840 from what I can tell, but it seems to be 904 01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:02.400 very very popular, and I don't really understand it, to be. 905 01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:02.920 Honest with you. 906 01:01:03.159 --> 01:01:04.679 I mean, how can you tell if it's a real 907 01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:05.960 site that you're shopping. 908 01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:10.519 Well, it can be difficult, you know, look at the URL, 909 01:01:11.239 --> 01:01:13.800 look for quality in the site itself, but again that's 910 01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:16.760 easy to duplicate. If there's no contact information or if 911 01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:20.079 it's really really difficult to find, like what's the phone number? 912 01:01:20.159 --> 01:01:22.519 If I'm having an issue with my order? Where is 913 01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:26.400 the thing physically located? You know, if you can't find 914 01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:30.079 that information, those are good signs that something might be up. Again, 915 01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:32.880 you can check a site like Better Business Bureau to 916 01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:36.320 see if there are complaints against that, YELP, trust pilot 917 01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:39.400 sites that attempt to give consumers a way to get 918 01:01:39.440 --> 01:01:44.679 some insight into is a site legitimate. Again, these are 919 01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:47.719 not guarantees. Garrit jeff Right. Because it's so easy to 920 01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:49.679 set these things up and so cheap, they can do 921 01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:51.760 it quickly. They can set one up, run a scam 922 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:54.079 for a while, tear it down. But again, if you 923 01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:56.960 can't find any contact information, if there's no contact form, 924 01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:59.239 there's no phone number, no address, those are all strong 925 01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:01.679 red flags. Another thing you can do, if you're a 926 01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:04.400 little nerdier is you can use a site like who 927 01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:07.960 is to try to see when was the domain associated 928 01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:10.679 with that website, the URL, the address you go to, 929 01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:13.440 when was that registered? If that's only been online for 930 01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:16.079 a month or two, good likelihood. 931 01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:16.280 That's a scam. 932 01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:20.519 Right, your average retail store that's legit hasn't just popped 933 01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:23.360 up in the last month or two. So again, these 934 01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:28.079 are all red flags, not a guarantee that something is illegitimate. 935 01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:31.159 But if it seems too good to be true, be careful. 936 01:02:31.239 --> 01:02:32.840 This slow probably is. 937 01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:36.159 Yeah, if they're selling you something that's a hot product 938 01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:40.480 for ninety percent off high high high, high likelihood of scam. 939 01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:43.360 All right, when we return with Dave Hadder the yes 940 01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:48.000 you Can Trend and chat GPT stuff. Plus I have 941 01:02:48.039 --> 01:02:50.639 a question from a listener. As we continue on this 942 01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:54.559 Friday morning on fifty five KRC, the talk station from Iart. 943 01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:57.599 It's the morning show for a Friday, June twenty seventh. 944 01:02:57.639 --> 01:03:00.440 I'm Gary Jeff Walker in for Brian Thomas. At six 945 01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:04.639 forty one. We are doing the usual Friday tech talk 946 01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:09.280 dance with Dave Hatter and from tech Talk to TikTok 947 01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:15.000 the Yes you Can Trend Dave, this is this is like, hey, dude, choose. 948 01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:18.280 But I'm not a teenage girl, so maybe I shouldn't 949 01:03:18.320 --> 01:03:22.039 know what yes you can is. And maybe and maybe 950 01:03:22.159 --> 01:03:24.519 teenage girls shouldn't know what that is either. 951 01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:28.360 Yeah, they probably shouldn't in light of what looks like 952 01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:30.480 is happening here. But I gotta give a hat hip 953 01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:33.000 to Joe there. The Kansas Sparks of the Tempest was 954 01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:33.719 a nice touch. 955 01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:35.400 I appreciate that point. 956 01:03:35.320 --> 01:03:37.599 You know, before before you get started. Did you ever 957 01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:39.000 see Kansas Live, Dave? 958 01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:40.360 I did several times. 959 01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:45.079 Man, that was was Steve Walsh, the front man and 960 01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:49.480 the keyboard player. He was because do you remember do 961 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:54.039 you remember the incredible flying leg kicks Steve Walsh would 962 01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:58.000 do on stage while he while he's singing and playing 963 01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:00.400 the keyboards. It was the most amazing thing ever seeing. 964 01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:04.440 Yeah, they're a great live ban back in the day. Now, 965 01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:06.000 I mean I didn't see them in their heyday. I 966 01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:09.119 was too young, but I've saw them several times in 967 01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:12.800 the nineties and early two thousands. Put on a great 968 01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:15.360 show and again huge fans. Sparks the Tempest. Everyone should 969 01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.239 go listen to that song. It's rather prophetic. But late seventies, 970 01:04:18.280 --> 01:04:22.159 early eighties I saw him great, good, good stuff, good stuff. Anyway, 971 01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:26.880 So Parents Magazine did this story. Experts say the yes 972 01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:29.519 you can trend can lead to grooming what parents need 973 01:04:29.559 --> 01:04:31.840 to know, And you know, as a parent, I thought 974 01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.840 that headline was pretty disturbing. And Gary, Jeff, you know, 975 01:04:34.880 --> 01:04:37.440 I'm no TikTok fan. No, I have a lot of 976 01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:40.360 concerns with TikTok, not just the data collection they're doing. 977 01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:44.400 Because they're owned by a Chinese company, but also they're 978 01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:48.280 the possibility that you are being persuaded and propagandized through 979 01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.880 this Chinese Communist Party controlled app. But all that said, 980 01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:54.440 you know, one of the things that TikTok has been 981 01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:57.360 known for, besides cute cat videos and that sort of thing, 982 01:04:58.039 --> 01:05:01.400 is these trending things that will pop up some cases 983 01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:03.400 harmful to people. They get people to try to do 984 01:05:03.519 --> 01:05:07.320 stupid stuff, you know, et cetera. And in this particular case, 985 01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:11.800 I'll just read you what a licensed social worker says. 986 01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:16.239 The yes you Can trend is sophisticated digital grooming disguised 987 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:20.440 as girl empowerment. And in this particular article, if you're 988 01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:23.000 a parent and you have daughters, I strongly encourage you 989 01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:24.960 to go read it. It's got a lot of quotes 990 01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:28.400 from experts in the field. Again, I'm no expert on 991 01:05:28.440 --> 01:05:32.079 psychiatry or psychology. I just know that these kinds of 992 01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:34.159 things happen on TikTok all the time, and as a 993 01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:36.960 parent of a daughter who is now an adult, so 994 01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:38.719 I'm not as worried about this in her case. 995 01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:40.320 It's pretty disturbing. 996 01:05:40.320 --> 01:05:44.039 And the basic gist is you get these trends popping 997 01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:47.719 up of people saying, Oh, you shouldn't do X, Y 998 01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:50.360 or Z, and then apparently there's a song that they play, 999 01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:54.079 Yes you can. And the idea is, again, according to 1000 01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:57.559 all of these experts that have seen this, it's trying 1001 01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:01.239 to groom young girls into doing things that they shouldn't 1002 01:06:01.239 --> 01:06:04.199 do and ideally set them up for a predator, like 1003 01:06:04.239 --> 01:06:07.079 you know, you shouldn't date older people. Yes you can 1004 01:06:07.360 --> 01:06:07.960 sort of thing. 1005 01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:09.400 You know. 1006 01:06:09.440 --> 01:06:12.639 Again, another quote, the yes you can trend also brings 1007 01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:15.320 a high level of risk, including the possibility of online 1008 01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:20.800 sexual solicitation, says Diana Lampkins, a licensed social worker. Apparently, 1009 01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:23.880 and again there's a bunch of quotes in here from 1010 01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:25.880 people that work in the field and would know a 1011 01:06:25.880 --> 01:06:30.119 lot more about the potential psychological dangers of this, But 1012 01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:33.079 I would just remind folks, even if you forget about 1013 01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:36.119 this particular trend that's yes you can think you know, 1014 01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:41.119 whether it's sextortion criminals looking to get young kids usually 1015 01:06:41.159 --> 01:06:44.719 boys in this case, into compromising positions and then extort 1016 01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:47.960 money from them, which has led too many suicides sadly 1017 01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:52.199 and tragically enough, or it's predators out there who are 1018 01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:56.960 trying to build relationships to your kids or with your kids, 1019 01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:01.559 rather through tools like social media or online gaming. You know, again, 1020 01:07:01.719 --> 01:07:04.199 I have nothing against video games. Scared, Yeah, that's how 1021 01:07:04.199 --> 01:07:07.400 I got in this business in the first place. But understand, 1022 01:07:07.519 --> 01:07:10.519 in modern video games, almost all of them support a 1023 01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:13.719 multiplayer experience, So you're online, you're playing the game with 1024 01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:16.400 other people. There's nothing that would stop a forty two 1025 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:18.760 year old man from pretending to be a fifteen year 1026 01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:21.559 old girl right and trying to build some rapport or 1027 01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:27.119 build up that relationship. So understand that this particular trend could. 1028 01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:27.360 Lead to. 1029 01:07:29.239 --> 01:07:33.960 Sextortion, it could lead to you know, real world physical predators. 1030 01:07:33.440 --> 01:07:34.719 Trying to get to your kids. 1031 01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:38.159 And sadly, it's just one of the many things you 1032 01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:41.239 have to worry about as a parent. Now, you know, 1033 01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:43.000 you need to talk to your kids about this. You 1034 01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:44.679 need to warn them about these kind of things. You 1035 01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:47.360 need to understand what they're doing. You need to make 1036 01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:49.519 them feel comfortable that they can come talk to you 1037 01:07:49.639 --> 01:07:54.000 if something unusual or uncomfortable is happening to them online. 1038 01:07:54.719 --> 01:07:58.239 Because you know, whether you just don't like this sort 1039 01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:03.239 of idea this thing is creating, or it's you know, 1040 01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:06.039 really designed for predators to get to your kids, you 1041 01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:07.599 need to warn them about these kind of things. 1042 01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:08.480 And I hate that. 1043 01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:10.360 I hate that's the way that is. But that's where 1044 01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:10.760 we're at. 1045 01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:12.840 Well, you know, here's the thing, Dave, And let's be 1046 01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:18.199 honest about this. It's human nature, especially for a teenager 1047 01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:22.840 boy or girl, to be enticed and be tempted to 1048 01:08:22.920 --> 01:08:26.680 do things they know they shouldn't be doing. Yep, without 1049 01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:31.399 any kind of urging from social media or TikTok or 1050 01:08:31.439 --> 01:08:36.119 anywhere else. This was always an issue. This was always 1051 01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:40.159 a problem that parents were facing and challenges that were 1052 01:08:40.199 --> 01:08:43.359 put in front of teens who were still developing in 1053 01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:47.960 every single way, you know, sexually and mentally and physically. 1054 01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:56.119 But now you add the extra element of this and 1055 01:08:56.279 --> 01:09:02.680 it's so ubiquitous, everybody's online doing god knows what. It 1056 01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:07.600 has exponentially increased the risk of someone a young person, 1057 01:09:07.720 --> 01:09:11.479 getting into some serious trouble and being you know, too 1058 01:09:11.560 --> 01:09:15.239 far down into it by the time they or somebody 1059 01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:18.600 else finds out. So that this is definitely something that 1060 01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:24.000 parents should watch, and it's definitely something that parents should 1061 01:09:24.119 --> 01:09:27.239 and a lot of this is on parents themselves for 1062 01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:32.039 knowing exactly what their kids are into and for you know, 1063 01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:34.279 headed off at the past the best way they. 1064 01:09:34.119 --> 01:09:37.600 Can, right, Yeah, And it's it's a tricky challenge because 1065 01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:39.680 you know, the kids are usually several steps ahead with 1066 01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:42.239 the stuff. They know what the latest cool things are 1067 01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:44.439 and platforms and where to go and that sort of thing. 1068 01:09:44.439 --> 01:09:46.520 But yeah, I think you're right. I'll give you one 1069 01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:48.640 last quick quote from this article and I'll put this 1070 01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:50.239 to the show notes, because if you're a parent or 1071 01:09:50.239 --> 01:09:52.640 a grandparent, you really should read what these folks are 1072 01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:53.600 saying about. 1073 01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:55.560 You know, this particular thing. 1074 01:09:55.640 --> 01:09:58.720 This, yes, you can challenge, but just TikTok and these 1075 01:09:58.760 --> 01:10:01.199 trends in general, most important, only help teens understand their 1076 01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:05.359 developing brains, make them particularly vulnerable to manipulative content. That 1077 01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:09.039 asking for guidance shows strength, not weakness. And then it 1078 01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:10.720 goes on to say the key message in one pas 1079 01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:13.560 to understand is that this isn't just another quote dangerous 1080 01:10:13.640 --> 01:10:16.680 challenge unquote, it's a sophisticated. 1081 01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:17.000 Form of manipulation. 1082 01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:19.840 Again, one of the major knocks on TikTok in the 1083 01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:20.359 first place. 1084 01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:21.000 Scary, Yeah. 1085 01:10:21.199 --> 01:10:23.840 Absolute Dave Hatter on a Friday morning back after a 1086 01:10:23.880 --> 01:10:28.079 break on fifty five KRC, the talk station.

I'm just keeping an eye 1098 01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:08.680 on the building traffic volumes. We had an accident for 1099 01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:11.920 seventy one southbound before two seventy five. It's already clearing 1100 01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.600 out of the way. Watch four slowdowns though. From Alexandria Heike. 1101 01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:19.680 I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five krc betump station. 1102 01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:23.520 Good morning to my wife Chris to two point oho 1103 01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:28.880 who thinks Stixon, Kansas is the same band? Dave Hatter 1104 01:11:29.319 --> 01:11:32.680 joins us for one more segment on the Friday Tech 1105 01:11:32.760 --> 01:11:36.319 Talk from Interest It to you your onn fifty five KRC, 1106 01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:43.199 chat GPT apparently is so ever present on the Internet 1107 01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:48.199 that it's hobbling the development of future AI. Explain this to. 1108 01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:51.600 Me, Yeah, this is an interesting idea. You may have 1109 01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:54.199 heard the term, if you follow this space at all, slop. 1110 01:11:54.840 --> 01:12:00.520 The idea that these generative AI tools chat, TPT, copilot grock, 1111 01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:06.319 clawed perplexity, some of the gemini from Google are generating 1112 01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:10.399 so much content now and it's feeding off itself, which 1113 01:12:10.439 --> 01:12:13.680 you're like in a situation of entropy. And on a 1114 01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:16.359 related note, now, let me give you the headline here 1115 01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:19.439 this kind of helps set the stage for this. This 1116 01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:23.720 is from an online magazine called Ours Technica. Scientists once 1117 01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:28.119 hoarded pre nuclear steel, now we're hoarding pre AI content, 1118 01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:32.640 and it says newly announced catalog collects please three twenty 1119 01:12:32.680 --> 01:12:37.239 twenty two sources untouched by chat, GPT and AI contamination. 1120 01:12:37.760 --> 01:12:41.800 The idea is content created before twenty twenty two was mostly, 1121 01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.560 if not entirely, written by human beings. Now you increasingly 1122 01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:49.520 have human beings using these generative AI tools to create content. 1123 01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:54.279 And because they feed off of each other, and because 1124 01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:56.840 the nature of the way these things work, you're getting 1125 01:12:56.840 --> 01:12:58.680 to a place where you're getting. 1126 01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:00.000 This more and more slot more carbage. 1127 01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:02.600 Because there's a reminder, Gary Jeffson, I want to be 1128 01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:06.039 clear here, I'm not saying that these kinds of tools 1129 01:13:06.039 --> 01:13:08.520 the chat GPT's in the world now. I personally prefer 1130 01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:12.680 Rock from X. But these tools can't be useful. But 1131 01:13:12.720 --> 01:13:15.199 they have a lot of issues, one being input risk. 1132 01:13:15.279 --> 01:13:18.840 When you put content into these things, it's going unless 1133 01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:21.840 you have a free, separate stand not free, a standalone 1134 01:13:21.880 --> 01:13:26.039 model generally that you're paying for. When you put content 1135 01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:28.279 init these things, it's going into their base model, which 1136 01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:31.079 means anything you put into it is potentially available to 1137 01:13:31.079 --> 01:13:35.319 someone else. So any kind of sensitive data, anything that's proprietary, 1138 01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:37.319 if you put it into the free version of chat, 1139 01:13:37.399 --> 01:13:40.399 GPT or grock or whatever, it has now become part 1140 01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:42.520 of their model. They can do whatever they want with it, 1141 01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:44.800 including serve it up to someone else. So that's part 1142 01:13:44.840 --> 01:13:47.079 of the problem. But the real problem in my mind 1143 01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:50.840 is output risk, which is the idea that these things 1144 01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:54.319 just make things up. They hallucinate or can fabulate hallucination 1145 01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:56.800 as a well known term. They just literally will make 1146 01:13:56.840 --> 01:13:59.359 things up. And then we'll argue with you to try 1147 01:13:59.359 --> 01:14:02.359 to convince you that it's real. And so if I 1148 01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:05.840 use chatch ept today and it makes something up and 1149 01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:09.000 I publish that, and then that feeds into let's say, 1150 01:14:09.039 --> 01:14:12.479 the perplexity model, because it finds it online. Okay, so 1151 01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:15.960 now something that is confabulated is now in that model. 1152 01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:20.640 It just feeds itself in a slowly devolving kind of thing. 1153 01:14:20.760 --> 01:14:23.800 And again this idea of pre nuclear steel steel that 1154 01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:26.720 was not impacted by the nuclear blasts in the forties. 1155 01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:29.720 Again it gets into physics, but it's an interesting analogy. 1156 01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:32.920 And the point is is more and more and more content, 1157 01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:35.399 and I believe you can start to see the entropy, 1158 01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:39.760 or sometimes it's called model collapse and things like AI 1159 01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:43.039 generated art. Right, it's gotten better in many ways, but 1160 01:14:43.159 --> 01:14:45.319 in some ways now it's all starting to look the same. 1161 01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:49.520 So I'm not an expert on the inner workings of 1162 01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:52.159 these things. All I know is there's an enormous amount 1163 01:14:52.199 --> 01:14:54.720 of hype and hyperbole out there around how we're all 1164 01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:56.439 going to die and this is going to take all. 1165 01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:57.880 The jobs and all this sort of stuff. 1166 01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:00.600 Yeah, but when you really look in to this and 1167 01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:03.880 you understand how these things work to the extent you 1168 01:15:03.920 --> 01:15:06.000 can because they're almost all a black box. And you 1169 01:15:06.039 --> 01:15:09.640 can't really know when you understand this idea of slop 1170 01:15:09.720 --> 01:15:13.319 that the content, because it feeds off of itself, is 1171 01:15:13.399 --> 01:15:15.840 leading towards this idea of model collapse. And that's a 1172 01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:18.640 controversial topic. There's a lot of experts that say it's 1173 01:15:18.640 --> 01:15:21.520 a real thing. It's coming that these things, you know, 1174 01:15:22.600 --> 01:15:25.199 I will say this, Gary, Jeff, I think they're right 1175 01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:29.000 about what they're saying. And I think that these generative 1176 01:15:29.039 --> 01:15:32.399 AI models, the large language model driven products like CHATGPT 1177 01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:36.800 have potentially peaked because of this and because there's no 1178 01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:39.079 new content for them to read, and now they're reading 1179 01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:42.000 their own stuff. You know, what is the old drug 1180 01:15:42.039 --> 01:15:46.600 dealer thing, don't get high off your own supply? Yeah, 1181 01:15:46.680 --> 01:15:50.039 you know, And that I do not believe these large 1182 01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:53.079 language model based AI products are going to take all 1183 01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:55.079 the jobs or wipe us out anytime soon. 1184 01:15:55.199 --> 01:15:57.640 Well the next time, let's just say that, the next 1185 01:15:57.640 --> 01:15:59.720 time we talk, we'll find out how you know, drug 1186 01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:02.760 dealer sling slang and get. 1187 01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:03.399 Read it on the internet. 1188 01:16:03.399 --> 01:16:08.159 Carries johh Okay sure Dave had her from his trust 1189 01:16:08.239 --> 01:16:12.119 it this morning with Friday Tech Talk. Good information. As always, 1190 01:16:12.159 --> 01:16:14.159 my friend and we'll talk to you soon. Thank you. 1191 01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:18.640 All right, It's six fifty six and some change.

We're 1205 01:17:04.479 --> 01:17:09.800 almost at the fourth of July. Certainly feels like it weatherwise, anyway. 1206 01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:16.119 In this half hour, joining us pastor coffee shop entrepreneur, 1207 01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:21.159 prolific people producing person along with his wife and also 1208 01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:26.359 candidate for mayor of Cincinnati, Corey Bowman joins us this morning. 1209 01:17:26.399 --> 01:17:28.640 It's always great to talk to you, brother, Corey. How 1210 01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:33.600 are you doing? Just that? 1211 01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:36.640 Prolific People Producer is a great title. 1212 01:17:37.319 --> 01:17:38.720 Just had your fourth right. 1213 01:17:40.479 --> 01:17:42.359 About to still waiting. 1214 01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:45.439 Oh, Okay, I didn't know that bun was still in 1215 01:17:45.479 --> 01:17:49.359 the oven, but congratulations to you and your wife when 1216 01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:52.359 that happens, that blessed event. I mean, the good book 1217 01:17:52.399 --> 01:17:56.439 said go forth and multiply, and you were definitely following 1218 01:17:56.479 --> 01:17:59.239 the Lord's advice on that one. I'll give you there. 1219 01:17:59.399 --> 01:18:07.000 We're doing our best, all right. So there was a 1220 01:18:07.039 --> 01:18:14.119 television story and just another television story about crime in 1221 01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:19.600 OTR and downtown in the West End, and the police chief, 1222 01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:25.479 Teresa Thichi, claims that violent crime overall has been down 1223 01:18:25.560 --> 01:18:29.039 this year before a surge in the last month. The 1224 01:18:29.119 --> 01:18:33.640 data backs up the violent crime claims for the year, 1225 01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:36.079 but also shows an uptick in all reported crimes in 1226 01:18:36.119 --> 01:18:40.439 Cincinnati and those three neighborhoods. And this has been a 1227 01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:44.000 trend starting in about twenty twenty two. And you know, 1228 01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:49.640 I find this is an odd coincidence, perhaps maybe perhaps 1229 01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:52.960 not with the current leadership in the city of Cincinnati. 1230 01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:58.560 And I'll say that when John Cranley was mayor and 1231 01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:02.199 we had somebody like Chris Smithman as the vice mayor 1232 01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:05.479 and the head of public safety in the City of Cincinnati, 1233 01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:12.000 even during what we're nationally more turbulent times, say the 1234 01:19:12.039 --> 01:19:16.039 infamous Summer of Not Love in twenty twenty and everything 1235 01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:22.039 that happened then in the wake of George Floyd. Violent 1236 01:19:22.079 --> 01:19:25.239 crime did not start to tick up until the new 1237 01:19:25.279 --> 01:19:30.039 administration came into power of Aptab Pureval and new police chief, 1238 01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:35.119 a new sheriff. And I don't know if it's correlative. 1239 01:19:35.319 --> 01:19:38.880 I don't know if there's a direct correlation between the 1240 01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:41.920 rise in crime in the city of Cincinnati. It just 1241 01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:47.640 seems an odd happenstance because I think a lot more 1242 01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:52.840 people at least had a feeling of confidence in public 1243 01:19:52.920 --> 01:19:57.079 safety that does not exist now when the previous administration 1244 01:19:57.279 --> 01:20:00.359 was in power. Are you getting where I'm saying and 1245 01:20:00.399 --> 01:20:02.720 getting where I'm going with this, Corey. 1246 01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:06.960 No, absolutely. You know, this is an issue that is 1247 01:20:07.079 --> 01:20:08.119 very important at. 1248 01:20:08.039 --> 01:20:11.800 The forefront of everybody that lives in the city of Cincinnati. 1249 01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:15.800 When we first started this race for mayor, we started 1250 01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:19.439 asking people what's the most important issues that you care 1251 01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:23.680 about in our city? And nine times, in point nine 1252 01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:26.359 times out of ten, all of them would say that 1253 01:20:26.520 --> 01:20:27.239 crime was. 1254 01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:29.079 A major issue that they were dealing with. 1255 01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:32.199 These were business owners in the city, these were residents, 1256 01:20:32.239 --> 01:20:35.279 people that were raising their families, And I want to 1257 01:20:35.319 --> 01:20:37.840 say this that you know, our heart and our respect 1258 01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:41.960 goes out to all the officers of Cincinnati Police Department, 1259 01:20:42.119 --> 01:20:46.239 Hamilton County Sheriff's Department. These officers, we've talked with them 1260 01:20:46.359 --> 01:20:49.680 more than anybody, especially this last month, having one on 1261 01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:54.359 one conversations with people from every rank and every position. 1262 01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:58.159 And these are officers that put their lives on the 1263 01:20:58.159 --> 01:21:01.640 line every day. They have a hard to truly protect 1264 01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:03.000 and serve our communities. 1265 01:21:03.479 --> 01:21:04.680 And what you're seeing. 1266 01:21:04.439 --> 01:21:07.760 Right now is not only devastating to the city, but 1267 01:21:07.760 --> 01:21:10.680 it's devastating to these officers because they want to do 1268 01:21:10.800 --> 01:21:13.760 their job, they want to protect and serve. But this 1269 01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:16.239 is a direct correlation with the leadership. 1270 01:21:16.680 --> 01:21:17.600 You know, a lot of people. 1271 01:21:17.479 --> 01:21:20.159 Are running stories that you know, I'm the first Republican 1272 01:21:20.319 --> 01:21:21.279 to run. 1273 01:21:21.399 --> 01:21:23.319 As mayor in sixteen years. 1274 01:21:23.479 --> 01:21:27.880 There hasn't been a Republican mayor in almost fifty years. 1275 01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:31.840 But you mentioned previous administrations. Even though it might be 1276 01:21:31.960 --> 01:21:35.479 on size that some people disagree on, the reality of 1277 01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:36.159 it is that. 1278 01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:38.199 When it came to crime, when it came to. 1279 01:21:38.199 --> 01:21:42.720 The management of protecting our citizens in our city, there 1280 01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:45.199 were certain people that did it a lot better. But 1281 01:21:45.279 --> 01:21:48.279 the last four years we have seen a steep decline 1282 01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:52.000 in the management of what it takes to truly protect 1283 01:21:52.000 --> 01:21:52.840 our citizens. 1284 01:21:52.880 --> 01:21:59.520 Well was quoted as saying that the recent rise in 1285 01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:02.960 crime was unacceptable. This is about the third or fourth 1286 01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:06.159 time he's used that term and describing some horrific act 1287 01:22:06.159 --> 01:22:09.520 including the Heronser murder at his home in otr that 1288 01:22:10.119 --> 01:22:14.800 sadly we had to witness, and the herons your family 1289 01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:20.279 is having to deal with still and not feeling like 1290 01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:24.439 the city of Cincinnati as being really responsive to that 1291 01:22:24.680 --> 01:22:30.680 awful murder that happened in someone's private home, not on 1292 01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:34.560 the streets of Cincinnati. And all the mayor can come 1293 01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:37.319 up and say, is it's unacceptable. He's been saying that 1294 01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:44.159 about numerous things for the last few years. And is 1295 01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:46.439 there is there a rise in crime? Is there a 1296 01:22:46.560 --> 01:22:50.640 rise in murder that is acceptable? Isn't it all unacceptable? Corey? 1297 01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:53.520 That's that's what I find surprising about him using that 1298 01:22:53.640 --> 01:22:57.439 term over and over again, and still nothing seemingly is 1299 01:22:57.560 --> 01:23:01.880 getting done about it. And let's be honest too, Now, 1300 01:23:02.319 --> 01:23:05.920 no one person, whether it's the mayor or the chief 1301 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:11.600 of police or the sheriff, can you know, put his 1302 01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:16.319 hand out and wave a magic wand and stop violence 1303 01:23:16.399 --> 01:23:20.239 or stop people from doing criminal things. But there's a 1304 01:23:20.279 --> 01:23:26.920 pattern of policies, and there is a pattern of I 1305 01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:32.039 don't know, misappropriation of resources perhaps, or that can affect 1306 01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:35.760 this directly. It's not like mayor pure vol could come 1307 01:23:35.760 --> 01:23:40.199 out tomorrow and perform some magical spell and it would 1308 01:23:40.239 --> 01:23:45.520 all stop. We understand that. But there is a way 1309 01:23:46.239 --> 01:23:48.000 of producing better results. 1310 01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:51.239 Let's say no, no, absolutely. 1311 01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:51.520 You know. 1312 01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:54.239 One of those big issues that people care about as 1313 01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:56.840 well is having to do with the budget and the 1314 01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:59.079 city budget. And what I tell people when it comes 1315 01:23:59.119 --> 01:24:03.239 to financial budget, there's no perfect budget. There's no like, Okay, 1316 01:24:03.279 --> 01:24:05.359 I'm going to download this template and then this is 1317 01:24:05.399 --> 01:24:08.159 going to solve all my problems. It's something you have 1318 01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:10.920 to consistently work at and it all has to deal 1319 01:24:10.960 --> 01:24:14.520 with principles and priorities. That's why I tell people any 1320 01:24:14.600 --> 01:24:17.479 budget is going to be effective is you have the 1321 01:24:17.560 --> 01:24:20.000 right principles and priorities. And that's going to be the 1322 01:24:20.079 --> 01:24:23.520 same way when it comes to your administration's approach to 1323 01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:28.079 crime and your local police officers. What's been happening right 1324 01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:31.039 now is that the principles and priorities of the administration 1325 01:24:31.239 --> 01:24:35.520 hasn't been its officers. It hasn't been the police department. Yeah, 1326 01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:38.319 we can throw out numbers that what they're doing with 1327 01:24:38.399 --> 01:24:40.479 the budget, but when it comes to the culture of 1328 01:24:40.520 --> 01:24:44.239 what's happening at city Hall, they put more emphasis on 1329 01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:45.319 social issues. 1330 01:24:45.399 --> 01:24:46.319 They put more. 1331 01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:50.319 Emphasis on community initiatives, which in my mind that a 1332 01:24:50.359 --> 01:24:52.680 lot of them are going nowhere. They put a lot 1333 01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:56.560 of emphasis on things rather than just hitting the target 1334 01:24:56.720 --> 01:24:59.840 of backing our police officers. Now, it's not about being 1335 01:24:59.840 --> 01:25:03.880 a militant state. It's about letting these officers truly be 1336 01:25:03.960 --> 01:25:06.840 a part of their communities that they want to protect 1337 01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:09.800 uncert So these are and it has to do with 1338 01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:14.640 administrative decisions as well. You know, you mentioned Patrick Herringer 1339 01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:19.159 that got brutally murdered in his home in OTR and 1340 01:25:19.359 --> 01:25:22.359 his wife, Sarah heart goes out to her and all 1341 01:25:22.439 --> 01:25:25.159 the people that were connected to his gym that they owned. 1342 01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:29.239 But in response to that, you know what they did 1343 01:25:29.359 --> 01:25:33.000 was they moved a lot of officers to OTR to 1344 01:25:33.079 --> 01:25:36.880 be able to protect people, to show that they are 1345 01:25:37.319 --> 01:25:40.079 meaning business. But behind the scenes you see that a 1346 01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:43.560 lot of officers were pulled from other districts. Well, then 1347 01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:46.960 you have Let's not forget Charles Smith. Charles Smith was 1348 01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:50.319 a fifty five year old veteran who worked at the 1349 01:25:50.359 --> 01:25:56.199 Cincinnati VA Medical Center and that week, in response when 1350 01:25:56.199 --> 01:26:00.199 the police officers were moved to OTR, this man was 1351 01:26:00.279 --> 01:26:04.479 murdered in the North Side in Cummingsville. And so this 1352 01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:08.279 is what's happening, is that these administrative decisions are leading 1353 01:26:08.319 --> 01:26:12.079 to results that aren't favorable to the people in our community. 1354 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:14.399 We've got to be able to make better decisions. We 1355 01:26:14.479 --> 01:26:16.279 got to be able to put better people in place 1356 01:26:16.319 --> 01:26:20.239 from the administrative side of things. And because all the 1357 01:26:20.279 --> 01:26:23.119 weight of the world is coming on our officers and 1358 01:26:23.159 --> 01:26:25.279 they need to be able to know that their leadership 1359 01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:28.479 is behind them one hundred percent, that their leadership is 1360 01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:31.359 going to make the right decisions. That yes, they're being 1361 01:26:31.399 --> 01:26:34.239 put in harm's way every day, but there are certain 1362 01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:38.319 aspects that's going to prevent bad situations from happening. And 1363 01:26:38.399 --> 01:26:42.359 so the morale of the officers is huge when it. 1364 01:26:42.359 --> 01:26:43.119 Comes to all this. 1365 01:26:43.239 --> 01:26:45.560 When it comes to recruitment, when it comes to training, 1366 01:26:45.920 --> 01:26:49.920 a lot of officers are taking their retirement options right 1367 01:26:49.960 --> 01:26:53.000 now just because they're ready to get out. Then they 1368 01:26:53.000 --> 01:26:54.600 don't want to deal with it, and a lot of 1369 01:26:54.600 --> 01:26:58.239 the times when you sign up for extra shifts, or 1370 01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:02.119 when you sign up for extra coverage over the weekend, 1371 01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:04.520 when you're being told that you're going to go to OTR, 1372 01:27:05.239 --> 01:27:06.920 or you're not even told you're just going to be 1373 01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:09.520 put to OTR, but you're not familiar with the area, 1374 01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:12.800 it's just kind of a rash decision. Law of officers 1375 01:27:12.840 --> 01:27:15.079 don't even want to sign up for these shifts anymore. 1376 01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:16.800 So there's a lot of things that need to be 1377 01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:19.359 worked on. And this isn't just something that needs to 1378 01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:22.880 be fixed after the election November. This is stuff that 1379 01:27:22.920 --> 01:27:24.399 needs to be happening right now. 1380 01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:26.399 Yeah, Yeah, Corey Bowman, I tell you what. We'll take 1381 01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:28.840 a quick break when we come back. I'm going to 1382 01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:31.640 talk about a post that I saw from you on 1383 01:27:31.680 --> 01:27:34.640 a recent trip to visit the SWAT team here in 1384 01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:40.479 Cincinnati and once you've found out about their obvious lack 1385 01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:44.600 of requested resources. It's seven seventeen on this Friday morning 1386 01:27:44.600 --> 01:27:48.079 at fifty five KRC, the talk station. Our Ihearthar and 1387 01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:50.800 Mayor I have toa pure vol to the recent rise 1388 01:27:50.960 --> 01:27:54.680 in crime and violent crime in the last month or 1389 01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:59.039 so unacceptable. This is that term over and over again 1390 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:04.840 talking to may Earl candidate Corey Bowman and Corey, you 1391 01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:08.279 had an interesting visit with a high ranking officer and 1392 01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:12.960 the Cincinnati Swat team recently that you posted, and tell 1393 01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:14.960 me what you found out in that meeting, Corey. 1394 01:28:17.359 --> 01:28:20.520 Yeah, so this is just a chance of currency. I 1395 01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:23.720 was going up to police officers on the street and 1396 01:28:23.840 --> 01:28:25.960 just thanking them for what they're doing. You know, I 1397 01:28:26.039 --> 01:28:27.680 tell them this isn't a political ploy. 1398 01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:29.520 I'm sincerely thankful for. 1399 01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:33.920 All you guys protecting our city. And one officer specifically, 1400 01:28:33.960 --> 01:28:36.199 he was a part of the swat team. We just 1401 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.199 started talking and you know, I just said, how are 1402 01:28:39.279 --> 01:28:41.840 things going for you guys, and he said, you know, 1403 01:28:41.920 --> 01:28:44.680 there's you know, a big issue for us is going 1404 01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:47.960 to be our tactical gear, which that's in the name SWAT. 1405 01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:50.039 You know, so this is a specific part of the 1406 01:28:50.039 --> 01:28:54.239 police department that has to deal with certain things that 1407 01:28:54.279 --> 01:28:57.880 other officers don't, and a key part of their team 1408 01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:00.600 has to do with their gear and their equipment. And 1409 01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:04.479 he said that I've put in multiple requests to the 1410 01:29:04.520 --> 01:29:09.239 city leadership to be able to get funding for gear, 1411 01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:14.560 and we've been denied consistently any one big thing about 1412 01:29:14.600 --> 01:29:18.479 your local Cincinnati SWAT or let's say your local Cincinnati FBI, 1413 01:29:18.680 --> 01:29:21.840 which isn't part you know, but these agencies that are 1414 01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:25.880 local you have to coordinate with higher ranking, you know, 1415 01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:29.880 organizations such as your federal level SWAP. And he said, 1416 01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:31.640 whenever they work, whenever. 1417 01:29:31.359 --> 01:29:33.640 They work with the higher level. 1418 01:29:33.479 --> 01:29:36.399 SWAP teams from the state or from the federal. 1419 01:29:36.520 --> 01:29:39.439 They're always inadequate. They always have to like they'll be, 1420 01:29:39.840 --> 01:29:40.119 you know. 1421 01:29:40.279 --> 01:29:44.479 Monitoring a situation where on the comms they'll say, hey, 1422 01:29:44.760 --> 01:29:46.600 what do you guys see and it'll be in the 1423 01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:48.560 middle of the night and they say, we don't see anything. 1424 01:29:48.600 --> 01:29:49.840 We don't have night visions. 1425 01:29:50.279 --> 01:29:50.640 Wow. 1426 01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:52.720 And these are things to where I told one of 1427 01:29:52.760 --> 01:29:55.279 the one of my friends who the business owner, and 1428 01:29:55.319 --> 01:29:58.319 he was like, you know, I've looked him up, you know, 1429 01:29:58.520 --> 01:30:02.039 in stores online. I'll buy the tactical gear form, I'll 1430 01:30:02.039 --> 01:30:05.760 buy the night vision for our local Cincinnati SWAD if 1431 01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:08.600 that's what they need. And that just shows you know 1432 01:30:08.680 --> 01:30:12.520 that this is you know, we've got amazing officers. We've 1433 01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:15.880 got amazing people in our police departments that want to 1434 01:30:15.960 --> 01:30:20.520 do their jobs and they're being held back not only 1435 01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:24.000 by what we just mentioned with the equipment and not 1436 01:30:24.079 --> 01:30:28.479 being you know, not being funded properly, but also you know, 1437 01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:31.359 just to support just the support of you know, there's 1438 01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:37.159 certain laws in place that non pursuit laws or certain 1439 01:30:37.239 --> 01:30:40.720 directives from the top that keep these officers from really 1440 01:30:40.800 --> 01:30:43.880 doing the jobs that they need to do in the city. 1441 01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:50.439 Well, you know, the police chief ESA's teacher says that 1442 01:30:51.560 --> 01:30:54.560 violent crime overall has been down this year, and yet 1443 01:30:55.520 --> 01:31:01.039 the answer and had a press conference on Tuesday, included 1444 01:31:01.119 --> 01:31:04.600 adding more officers to all four of cpds violence crime 1445 01:31:04.640 --> 01:31:07.239 squad units. Well, if violent crime is down, why do 1446 01:31:07.239 --> 01:31:14.079 you need more officers in your violent crime units? Me exactly, Yeah, 1447 01:31:14.119 --> 01:31:14.520 go ahead. 1448 01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:18.560 The statistics that they're using, you know a lot of 1449 01:31:18.600 --> 01:31:22.399 times they'll they'll celebrate and they'll say that all homicides 1450 01:31:22.399 --> 01:31:24.960 are down because it'll be one less, you. 1451 01:31:25.000 --> 01:31:27.720 Know, overall of the year than it was the previous year. 1452 01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.560 Right, but you know, auto thefts and auto crimes are up, 1453 01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:35.319 spiking ninety eight percent since the previous years. You know, 1454 01:31:35.359 --> 01:31:39.560 when you're talking about aggravated assault, when you're talking about robbery, 1455 01:31:39.760 --> 01:31:42.439 when you talk about other things that affect our community, 1456 01:31:42.680 --> 01:31:45.760 these things are spiking and going up and that's on 1457 01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:49.239 their websites, that's on their statistics, and that's not to 1458 01:31:49.319 --> 01:31:52.239 mention the unreported crimes. The people I mean, I talk 1459 01:31:52.319 --> 01:31:52.720 with people. 1460 01:31:52.760 --> 01:31:53.239 We are our. 1461 01:31:53.119 --> 01:31:57.079 Business and our coffee shops and now residents is within 1462 01:31:57.119 --> 01:32:00.399 the West End, and you've got to realize that whenever 1463 01:32:00.439 --> 01:32:06.800 we talk to people downtown gunshots or certain crimes that happen, 1464 01:32:06.880 --> 01:32:09.600 people don't even bother calling in. 1465 01:32:09.560 --> 01:32:11.279 Or reporting the crime because they're. 1466 01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:11.880 Like, what are they going to do? 1467 01:32:12.039 --> 01:32:16.399 Nothing's going to happen. And that's a large part because 1468 01:32:16.439 --> 01:32:20.000 the directives that they're getting from the top well. 1469 01:32:20.920 --> 01:32:25.039 And after a while, people become desensitized to if it 1470 01:32:25.119 --> 01:32:28.560 happens all the time, and there has to be a 1471 01:32:28.600 --> 01:32:32.560 way to get a better grip on this. Corey, and 1472 01:32:33.760 --> 01:32:36.520 I hope you get the chance to show us what 1473 01:32:36.560 --> 01:32:37.119 you can do. 1474 01:32:39.039 --> 01:32:40.760 Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I'll end it with this. 1475 01:32:40.800 --> 01:32:43.119 I think a huge part of this, I've been pushing this, 1476 01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:45.720 I created a huge part of this has to be 1477 01:32:46.239 --> 01:32:49.239 the emergency call center in our city. We have to 1478 01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:52.640 be able to give the responsibility of this call center 1479 01:32:52.920 --> 01:32:56.640 back to the Cincinnati Police Department, because what's happening is 1480 01:32:56.680 --> 01:33:00.439 that this call center dispatched they have the choice whether 1481 01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:02.479 you like it or not, whether you call nine to 1482 01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:04.800 one one or not, whether you think it's an emergency 1483 01:33:04.920 --> 01:33:08.119 or not. They have the ability of dispatching their choice 1484 01:33:08.159 --> 01:33:11.680 of either a three one one CI community officer, an 1485 01:33:11.840 --> 01:33:15.199 ARC officer which is just a fireman and a mental 1486 01:33:15.199 --> 01:33:20.920 health specialist, or an actual CPD officer. And that relationship 1487 01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:24.840 between the officers and the city is being divided by 1488 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:27.640 that call center and all the policies that are in 1489 01:33:27.720 --> 01:33:30.520 place there as well. And so we've got to restore 1490 01:33:30.600 --> 01:33:34.439 the relationship between the community, the city and. 1491 01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:36.920 The police officers. We've got to show people that these. 1492 01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:40.159 Officers are there protect and serve and a community that's 1493 01:33:40.279 --> 01:33:42.359 united under that, you're going to. 1494 01:33:42.399 --> 01:33:43.359 See crime go down. 1495 01:33:43.399 --> 01:33:45.680 You're going to see the protection that we need. 1496 01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:46.479 Right. 1497 01:33:46.680 --> 01:33:53.399 Very good, Corey Bowman, candidate for mayor, pastor, entrepreneur, prolific people, producer, 1498 01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:57.399 and our guest this morning, Thank you so much for 1499 01:33:57.439 --> 01:34:01.359 your time, my friend, and continue continue finding out what 1500 01:34:01.439 --> 01:34:03.720 you can find out, and hopefully you will be in 1501 01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:06.640 a position to help out the rest of the citizens 1502 01:34:06.640 --> 01:34:10.640 of Cincinnati come November. It's seven twenty seven on this 1503 01:34:10.760 --> 01:34:13.760 Friday morning at fifty five KRC de Talk Station. Dan 1504 01:34:13.880 --> 01:34:15.119 Hills up next. 1505 01:34:15.079 --> 01:34:17.439 From iHeart Podcast before. 1506 01:34:17.199 --> 01:34:21.479 Sing, A guy who knows a lot about real life 1507 01:34:21.560 --> 01:34:24.960 heroes on the streets, joins us. Now in this half hour, 1508 01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:29.720 we're just talking with Corey Bowman, candidate for mayor, about 1509 01:34:29.760 --> 01:34:35.600 the challenges that Cincinnati Police are facing and then officers 1510 01:34:35.680 --> 01:34:39.600 face regardless of where they are every day. But it 1511 01:34:39.720 --> 01:34:44.640 seems like Cincinnati Police right now aret a turning point 1512 01:34:44.880 --> 01:34:48.279 with the current administration. A guy who worked with many 1513 01:34:48.359 --> 01:34:52.479 different administrations and city councils in his time as president 1514 01:34:52.479 --> 01:34:55.840 with the Fraternal Order of Police now with the frontline advisors. 1515 01:34:55.920 --> 01:34:58.640 Dan Hills joins us and Danny, I wanted to talk 1516 01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:00.640 to you this morning because this is as the subject 1517 01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:05.079 you know very well, it is near and dear to 1518 01:35:05.159 --> 01:35:08.640 your heart as someone who was in the mix. And 1519 01:35:08.680 --> 01:35:12.000 there was a time in the City of Cincinnati's history, 1520 01:35:12.239 --> 01:35:15.079 and I'm sure you had your differences with people like 1521 01:35:15.199 --> 01:35:20.680 John Cranleigh and the council, but there seemed to be 1522 01:35:21.760 --> 01:35:24.880 at least people in the Mayor's office and people like 1523 01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:31.119 Chris Smitherman in particular, who really had the police's best 1524 01:35:31.159 --> 01:35:35.159 interest at heart. And we're responding to public safety in 1525 01:35:35.199 --> 01:35:37.800 a way this current administration is not would you agree 1526 01:35:37.800 --> 01:35:40.720 with that? Oh, Gary Jesse. 1527 01:35:40.840 --> 01:35:42.399 I mean, the majority of the time I was the 1528 01:35:42.439 --> 01:35:46.239 President of the Union, I had John Cranley as the mayor. 1529 01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:50.439 And while we might not, you know, be hand in 1530 01:35:50.479 --> 01:35:54.840 hand and most political discussions, especially like at the national 1531 01:35:54.960 --> 01:35:58.640 level or anything like that, John Cranley believed in law 1532 01:35:58.680 --> 01:36:01.800 and order. And you know, he's he's part of a 1533 01:36:02.800 --> 01:36:08.680 breed that is quickly becoming extinct, and that's a moderate Democrat. 1534 01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:10.800 And you saw what happened to him when he when 1535 01:36:10.840 --> 01:36:16.319 he attempted to run for governor, he got absolutely slaughtered 1536 01:36:16.319 --> 01:36:20.279 by the far left. So you know, we could, we could, 1537 01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:23.840 we could probably have some sort of services or funeral 1538 01:36:23.920 --> 01:36:29.439 for the moderate Democrats. And until we have a Bible 1539 01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:33.439 second party, I think you already started talking about. 1540 01:36:33.600 --> 01:36:37.800 What's what's most effected and most damaged is is our 1541 01:36:38.119 --> 01:36:43.039 urban areas that that is controlled by these far left wingers. 1542 01:36:43.119 --> 01:36:47.800 And yeah, it's a big difference between John Cranley and 1543 01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:49.880 what we have now with they have had well. 1544 01:36:49.800 --> 01:36:52.960 Major metropolitan areas in this country all over the country 1545 01:36:53.439 --> 01:36:55.319 are our Democrat dominated. 1546 01:36:56.119 --> 01:36:56.199 Uh. 1547 01:36:56.319 --> 01:37:00.359 That hasn't changed in many respects for fifty sixty years. 1548 01:37:00.439 --> 01:37:04.359 Some cases, some major cities have always had Democrat leadership. 1549 01:37:04.920 --> 01:37:08.680 What has changed is the Democrat party itself. And I 1550 01:37:08.760 --> 01:37:13.600 was talking about this earlier. Now we know that in 1551 01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:16.720 New York City the Democrats and the people who vote 1552 01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:22.159 Democrat have gone full scale Marxist Communists by electing this 1553 01:37:22.279 --> 01:37:25.720 guy Mondani in the primary on Tuesday for the next 1554 01:37:25.760 --> 01:37:30.079 mayor of NYC. The big apple is going to be 1555 01:37:31.239 --> 01:37:36.479 I don't know, the big Gulag. It's going to be Beijing. 1556 01:37:36.520 --> 01:37:41.279 That's right, basically, essentially, with that guy in charge, if 1557 01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:46.079 he wins in the general election in November, new York 1558 01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:51.560 City's gone. I heard that result and heard what he 1559 01:37:51.720 --> 01:37:56.319 was preaching, you know, and his snake oil salesman way, 1560 01:37:57.399 --> 01:38:01.159 very very slick, very polished, I'll give him that, and 1561 01:38:01.399 --> 01:38:06.319 being I guess honest to his constituency, which are the 1562 01:38:06.319 --> 01:38:09.319 Bernie Sanders, the Aocs of the world. But when I 1563 01:38:09.359 --> 01:38:12.359 heard that, the first thing I thought of was a 1564 01:38:12.399 --> 01:38:17.159 movie Escape from New York with Snake Blisken and Donald 1565 01:38:17.159 --> 01:38:20.119 Pleasants as the Duke of New York. And it's just 1566 01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:24.279 a giant maximum security prison that's walled off from the 1567 01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:27.159 rest of the country. And that's exactly what it's going 1568 01:38:27.239 --> 01:38:30.119 to become if this guy becomes mayor and the policies 1569 01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:36.079 that he has promised are enacted, because anybody who cares 1570 01:38:37.359 --> 01:38:40.520 about living in a free country is going to be 1571 01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:42.520 out of that. And that's a lot of the wealth 1572 01:38:42.920 --> 01:38:45.000 and a lot of the people that he wants to 1573 01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:50.159 soak in tax dollars for all of his social programs 1574 01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:52.560 are going to leave, and he's not going to have 1575 01:38:52.680 --> 01:38:55.399 a pool of people. But this is where the Democrat 1576 01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:58.279 Party is over all in this country. It's been taken 1577 01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:04.880 over by these Marxists and these communists. And there's finally 1578 01:39:04.920 --> 01:39:08.840 a tell me if I'm wrong. There's finally a very 1579 01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:12.720 there always was, but now it's the clearest definition between 1580 01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:17.079 the two parties that has ever been. Yes, oh yeah, 1581 01:39:17.920 --> 01:39:18.680 I don't even know. 1582 01:39:19.000 --> 01:39:20.760 I'm trying to think of a word that would describe 1583 01:39:20.760 --> 01:39:24.600 the separation between the two parties now a canyon. It's 1584 01:39:25.520 --> 01:39:28.079 there's no reaching out to the left anymore. And you 1585 01:39:28.119 --> 01:39:29.520 talk about the people that are going to be leaving 1586 01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:32.239 New York, Cary, Jeff, what about the cops? You know, 1587 01:39:32.399 --> 01:39:35.439 if if I thought maybe I could get a job 1588 01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:38.720 in Florida or even even upstate New York, you know, 1589 01:39:38.960 --> 01:39:44.159 Syracuse or Alany or somewhere where maybe they're not totally insane, 1590 01:39:44.279 --> 01:39:48.119 because he's talking about defunding the cops, basically getting rid 1591 01:39:48.159 --> 01:39:51.560 of the police department, and it would be a free 1592 01:39:51.600 --> 01:39:55.800 for all. It would be it would be chaos, the anarchy. 1593 01:39:55.880 --> 01:39:57.880 You know, I'm sitting there. I'd have to break out 1594 01:39:57.880 --> 01:39:59.680 my fasaaris here and come. 1595 01:39:59.600 --> 01:40:03.640 Up with some Yeah, I'm just thinking, Dan, I'm thinking 1596 01:40:04.039 --> 01:40:07.199 Duke of New a One, Duke of New York, and 1597 01:40:07.239 --> 01:40:12.159 there's Snake Blisken trying to liberate people from this totalitarian 1598 01:40:12.239 --> 01:40:16.079 dictator who's taken control of what is essentially a maximum 1599 01:40:16.159 --> 01:40:18.920 security prison of eight million people, walled off from the 1600 01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:21.319 rest of the country, and God forbid if any of 1601 01:40:21.359 --> 01:40:22.119 them escape. 1602 01:40:22.720 --> 01:40:24.760 I mean, I just rewatch that one. 1603 01:40:24.840 --> 01:40:28.399 I barely remember it from my youth, so I'll have 1604 01:40:28.439 --> 01:40:28.920 to watch it. 1605 01:40:29.079 --> 01:40:31.399 Yeah, it was just like a flashback of forty years. 1606 01:40:31.399 --> 01:40:34.359 That's the first thing I thought of. We're talking to 1607 01:40:34.439 --> 01:40:37.960 Danny Hills from Frontline Advisors this morning, and if you 1608 01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:40.840 will indulge me, Dan, we'll be right back after this 1609 01:40:41.000 --> 01:40:45.439 break on fifty five krs the talk station. It's the 1610 01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:49.920 marketers blind advisors here this morning. And Dan in my 1611 01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:52.560 conversation with Corey Bowman, who of course is running from 1612 01:40:52.560 --> 01:40:56.359 mayor of Cincinnati. Yeah, but that would be a heck 1613 01:40:56.399 --> 01:40:59.640 of a shock. It would be a good shock, but 1614 01:40:59.680 --> 01:41:01.319 it would a heck of a shock if that can 1615 01:41:01.399 --> 01:41:05.720 happen in November. Uh. And and he was talking about 1616 01:41:05.760 --> 01:41:09.279 his meeting with a high ranking member of the Cincinnati 1617 01:41:09.279 --> 01:41:13.960 SWAT team about how basically if they're working in conjunction 1618 01:41:14.079 --> 01:41:21.199 with federal teams, they feel embarrassed because of their lack 1619 01:41:21.279 --> 01:41:23.640 of equipment. Did you run into that in your time 1620 01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:26.479 with FOP that there was a problem of not being 1621 01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:29.319 able to get the proper equipment like night vision goggles 1622 01:41:29.880 --> 01:41:33.279 and other vestiments and stuff. What was what were the 1623 01:41:33.319 --> 01:41:34.319 issues back then? 1624 01:41:36.439 --> 01:41:38.159 I'm not going to say quite. 1625 01:41:38.199 --> 01:41:39.600 We're at a level of embarrassment. 1626 01:41:39.680 --> 01:41:41.760 I think we had I was on the swat team 1627 01:41:41.840 --> 01:41:45.000 as a negotiator for twenty years. 1628 01:41:44.720 --> 01:41:47.880 And we we had taken a big step up. 1629 01:41:47.920 --> 01:41:49.279 What I'm going to first started. 1630 01:41:49.560 --> 01:41:55.840 Our our armored vehicle was an old bank truck or 1631 01:41:55.960 --> 01:41:56.680 armored vehicle. 1632 01:41:56.800 --> 01:41:57.720 Oh that had been. 1633 01:41:57.600 --> 01:42:03.079 Adapted, but we we actually got a true vehicle for 1634 01:42:03.239 --> 01:42:08.239 the intended purpose of what we did, and there was 1635 01:42:08.399 --> 01:42:09.479 night vision and things. 1636 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:12.880 I mean, we can always use better and better equipment. 1637 01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:15.600 I think the one thing that maybe they're referring to 1638 01:42:15.840 --> 01:42:21.239 is the big advancements other agencies have taken in robotics 1639 01:42:21.279 --> 01:42:23.000 and stuff. I think we're still kind of in the 1640 01:42:23.079 --> 01:42:25.119 early stages of that now. Since I've been out of 1641 01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:27.880 the game with SWAT for a number of years. 1642 01:42:27.600 --> 01:42:29.880 Because once I was FOP president wasn't. 1643 01:42:30.359 --> 01:42:33.760 Able to participate in that, I would say I'm not 1644 01:42:33.800 --> 01:42:37.479 your most informed person on where we stand in equipment 1645 01:42:37.520 --> 01:42:41.119 wise with SWATS. So if you were talking to if 1646 01:42:41.159 --> 01:42:44.239 you had a source of information Garry Jeff and that 1647 01:42:44.319 --> 01:42:47.359 source of information was one of the higher ranking people 1648 01:42:47.359 --> 01:42:50.039 in SWAT and they had they had issues, I will 1649 01:42:50.079 --> 01:42:50.560 not be on. 1650 01:42:50.479 --> 01:42:52.319 This radio show debating those issues. 1651 01:42:52.479 --> 01:42:55.479 No, No, I understand. I just wondered if anything had 1652 01:42:55.600 --> 01:42:59.239 changed and we'd taken a step back in the last 1653 01:42:59.319 --> 01:43:01.439 few years instead of not that. 1654 01:43:01.800 --> 01:43:04.319 Like I said, not not that I personally am aware. 1655 01:43:04.399 --> 01:43:07.159 And I said, we had some pretty good equipment. Uh, 1656 01:43:07.680 --> 01:43:10.520 you know, we had the best best and ballistics and 1657 01:43:10.520 --> 01:43:13.359 stuff that I thought was available at the time, with 1658 01:43:13.439 --> 01:43:15.640 some heavy stuff, let me tell you, but it was 1659 01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:17.960 the type of stuff that could actually you know, take 1660 01:43:18.079 --> 01:43:22.159 rifle around from all that, and so uh I felt, 1661 01:43:22.199 --> 01:43:23.079 I felt when I. 1662 01:43:23.119 --> 01:43:26.000 Was with SWAT that we had some pretty good gear. Right, 1663 01:43:26.239 --> 01:43:28.880 There's always something better out there. There's always some new 1664 01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:32.600 generation thing coming in. Like I said, if anything, robotics 1665 01:43:32.640 --> 01:43:35.760 and drones and stuff is the way of the future 1666 01:43:36.800 --> 01:43:40.000 to uh, you know, anything you can do to avoid 1667 01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:44.840 that that confrontation with you know, an armed person that's barricaded, 1668 01:43:45.960 --> 01:43:49.119 especially you know, god forbid they have something high powered 1669 01:43:49.199 --> 01:43:52.159 rifle or whatever. And as we always said the negotiated 1670 01:43:52.319 --> 01:43:56.039 in the negotiating world, time is on our side. The 1671 01:43:56.439 --> 01:44:00.319 actual you know, counting down to an assassination of a 1672 01:44:00.319 --> 01:44:03.479 hostage or something like that, statistically is so so rare 1673 01:44:03.520 --> 01:44:08.960 it's and quite frankly, most of our situations were barricaded person's, 1674 01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:13.920 not true hostage situations. So time is on our side. 1675 01:44:13.920 --> 01:44:16.920 We'd much rather wait somebody out, or if need be, 1676 01:44:17.239 --> 01:44:20.399 do a little tear gas and themount yeah, flash bangs, 1677 01:44:20.479 --> 01:44:22.880 all sorts of different tools we would use to get 1678 01:44:22.880 --> 01:44:25.039 the bad guy to come outside where we had the 1679 01:44:25.079 --> 01:44:28.600 tactical advantage, because going inside made the. 1680 01:44:28.960 --> 01:44:31.800 Made the tactical advantage not as great. I mean, our 1681 01:44:31.840 --> 01:44:34.760 folks were so well trained and are still I'm sure 1682 01:44:34.880 --> 01:44:39.000 very well trained, that we end up taking tactical advantage. 1683 01:44:39.000 --> 01:44:42.199 But the home has a lot of unknowns and so 1684 01:44:42.319 --> 01:44:44.000 if we can we can get a surrender. 1685 01:44:44.479 --> 01:44:47.239 That is the name of the game with negotiations. 1686 01:44:47.319 --> 01:44:50.119 Do you think the Cincinnati Department is still handcuffed and 1687 01:44:50.159 --> 01:44:52.439 hamstrung by the original collaborative? 1688 01:44:54.560 --> 01:44:57.840 You know, I think across the board it's the officers 1689 01:44:57.880 --> 01:45:02.439 on the street feel handcuffed, and is because of they 1690 01:45:02.840 --> 01:45:06.800 have seen they have seen the lack of support when 1691 01:45:07.199 --> 01:45:08.399 there's critical incidents. 1692 01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:09.800 They see the people. 1693 01:45:09.479 --> 01:45:13.720 That are uh, you know, crying out and saying saying 1694 01:45:13.800 --> 01:45:14.800 whatever it takes to. 1695 01:45:14.720 --> 01:45:15.600 Get re elected. 1696 01:45:17.960 --> 01:45:21.000 You know, in the way they've they've built this uh 1697 01:45:21.439 --> 01:45:24.760 mecca of of police questioning in the c c A. 1698 01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:26.000 Uh. 1699 01:45:26.600 --> 01:45:29.439 It all it all comes down to, you know, officers, 1700 01:45:29.479 --> 01:45:32.560 do they have the confidence to be proactive, you know, 1701 01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:37.520 stop people, whether that that that stop is for uh, 1702 01:45:37.960 --> 01:45:41.680 you know, an equipment violation or something that manner to 1703 01:45:41.880 --> 01:45:45.680 investigate further. And in the areas where you have a 1704 01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:48.039 lot of drug activity, therefore. 1705 01:45:48.600 --> 01:45:50.680 You know a lot of violence in all locations. 1706 01:45:51.039 --> 01:45:55.279 So uh does the community support the police being proactive, 1707 01:45:55.920 --> 01:45:58.279 because if you're squared away, if you get stop carriage 1708 01:45:58.279 --> 01:46:01.359 just and s over, and you got a license and 1709 01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:03.560 you don't have no warrants and you don't have a 1710 01:46:03.560 --> 01:46:07.239 whole bunch of U of uh meth or crack or 1711 01:46:07.279 --> 01:46:10.960 whatever in your possession, that traffic stop is going to 1712 01:46:11.000 --> 01:46:13.479 be a short one, and it's going to be one 1713 01:46:13.479 --> 01:46:17.800 that is not, you know, a confrontational one. 1714 01:46:18.439 --> 01:46:20.920 When I drive, When I drive in Cincinnati, I always 1715 01:46:21.000 --> 01:46:24.319 make sure that whatever cracker meth I have is is 1716 01:46:24.399 --> 01:46:29.439 under the legal helm. Yeah, keep it at home. 1717 01:46:29.479 --> 01:46:31.279 Gary, You gotta keep your crack, keep your. 1718 01:46:31.239 --> 01:46:35.079 Medal, right right, don't don't drive around with that, I mean, 1719 01:46:35.159 --> 01:46:38.399 you know, because because then they're probably going to find 1720 01:46:38.439 --> 01:46:43.760 my my non registered nine millimeter. You don't that either. 1721 01:46:44.720 --> 01:46:47.680 We're talking with Tan Hills. Dan, you got time for 1722 01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:48.880 one more quick segment? 1723 01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:52.439 Oh you bet, Gary je I was always happy to. 1724 01:46:53.359 --> 01:46:56.680 Dan Hills from Frontline Advisors this morning with me on 1725 01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:59.840 fifty five krs C the talk station from front Line 1726 01:46:59.840 --> 01:47:06.000 and Advisors this morning, Dan, are we seeing finally the 1727 01:47:06.479 --> 01:47:09.520 in the last couple of years, the fruition of the 1728 01:47:09.600 --> 01:47:12.720 defund the police movement around the country and the false 1729 01:47:12.800 --> 01:47:17.680 George Floyd narrative and everything else that was done to 1730 01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:22.560 this nation, I believe, on purpose to try and defang 1731 01:47:22.720 --> 01:47:24.880 law and order in this country. Is that what we're 1732 01:47:24.920 --> 01:47:29.399 witnessing right now in Cincinnati and elsewhere. Yeah, no doubt. 1733 01:47:29.479 --> 01:47:34.880 It's you know, the not that everything was all peaches 1734 01:47:34.920 --> 01:47:37.560 and cream inside the urban areas of this country. But 1735 01:47:37.600 --> 01:47:43.960 the George Floyd, like you said, call whatever riots protests, 1736 01:47:44.239 --> 01:47:50.199 the conspiracy against law and order has handicapped law enforcement. 1737 01:47:50.239 --> 01:47:54.720 And I imagine it will for some time, and you know, 1738 01:47:54.960 --> 01:47:57.560 until people in inner cities start to wake up. And 1739 01:47:57.600 --> 01:47:59.279 there's that's not a good sign what we're seeing in 1740 01:47:59.279 --> 01:48:01.399 New York. You just you know, brought it up earlier. 1741 01:48:02.000 --> 01:48:06.880 When will people that live in these ervan areas. I'm 1742 01:48:06.920 --> 01:48:09.720 not saying that they're going to turn into Donald Trump buttters, 1743 01:48:09.720 --> 01:48:12.319 but when will they start to modify their own party 1744 01:48:12.840 --> 01:48:14.920 to at least believe in law and order again? 1745 01:48:15.079 --> 01:48:17.680 Is the question I think. I think, I think will 1746 01:48:17.720 --> 01:48:20.359 they ever? I mean, I don't know. I believe that 1747 01:48:20.439 --> 01:48:23.760 the citizens of Cincinnati are starting to wake up, I 1748 01:48:23.840 --> 01:48:28.920 really do, and I think the tide is turning. And uh, 1749 01:48:29.359 --> 01:48:33.640 and I think some of the photo op. The photo op. 1750 01:48:33.880 --> 01:48:40.119 Politicians are starting to maybe get get a grip on 1751 01:48:40.199 --> 01:48:43.600 the fact that things are turning around from that defund 1752 01:48:43.640 --> 01:48:47.520 the police sentiment that was so prevalent five years ago. 1753 01:48:48.079 --> 01:48:53.920 I think that they're they're being forced to finally fulfill 1754 01:48:54.119 --> 01:48:57.840 their commitment and their responsibility to public safety. I'm I'm 1755 01:48:57.840 --> 01:49:00.800 saying this optimistically. I hope so, but it seems like 1756 01:49:00.840 --> 01:49:02.239 the tide is turning publicly. 1757 01:49:03.520 --> 01:49:06.479 I think there is a chance, especially you know, in 1758 01:49:06.520 --> 01:49:11.239 Midwestern cities like Cincinnati. I mean, look, I don't think 1759 01:49:11.279 --> 01:49:14.279 Corey Bowman is going to be the next mayor, but 1760 01:49:14.600 --> 01:49:17.520 if he gets more votes than let you know, maybe 1761 01:49:17.560 --> 01:49:20.520 any just ever expected that he would get that, that 1762 01:49:20.560 --> 01:49:24.039 would be a sign here in Cincinnati that people are 1763 01:49:24.079 --> 01:49:25.079 starting to wake up. 1764 01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:28.439 And realize that the long the long. 1765 01:49:28.319 --> 01:49:30.800 Term success of the city is not going to be 1766 01:49:30.880 --> 01:49:34.840 there if people are afraid to go downtown and I 1767 01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:38.439 just don't care to the assles of downtown. And my 1768 01:49:38.479 --> 01:49:40.840 wife and I talked about going going downtown. That means 1769 01:49:40.880 --> 01:49:43.520 we're going to downtown level And or downtown Lebanon, you know, 1770 01:49:43.960 --> 01:49:46.359 and we could park. We know, we could park our car. 1771 01:49:46.520 --> 01:49:48.159 We don't have to worry about getting hit over the 1772 01:49:48.199 --> 01:49:51.039 head or our car getting broke into while we're gone. 1773 01:49:51.079 --> 01:49:56.399 And you know, I know that there there are many 1774 01:49:56.439 --> 01:49:59.640 people who go downtown and even live downtown and have 1775 01:49:59.720 --> 01:50:03.600 a way to being crime victims. But in general, it's 1776 01:50:03.359 --> 01:50:07.359 it's something that I think needs to get improved greatly 1777 01:50:08.239 --> 01:50:10.359 for the city really to maintain success. 1778 01:50:10.560 --> 01:50:13.079 It's a gamble you're not willing to take at this point, 1779 01:50:13.279 --> 01:50:13.960 is what you're saying. 1780 01:50:14.079 --> 01:50:15.680 I just don't feel I just don't feel like it 1781 01:50:15.760 --> 01:50:16.279 most time now. 1782 01:50:16.319 --> 01:50:17.640 If I had a really you know, if I had 1783 01:50:17.640 --> 01:50:21.239 a really, really big reason, if Geary Jeff was, you know, 1784 01:50:21.359 --> 01:50:24.159 having his fiftieth birthday party, right Gary, You're about that, 1785 01:50:24.840 --> 01:50:25.840 about that age. 1786 01:50:25.880 --> 01:50:30.520 If you're a decade and a half ago, where were. 1787 01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:33.319 You, if you were having your if you were having 1788 01:50:33.319 --> 01:50:35.279 a big party downtown or something, I would come down 1789 01:50:35.279 --> 01:50:37.239 there and I would take the chances. I'm not I'm 1790 01:50:37.239 --> 01:50:40.000 not that frightened by the city.

Richard Lyons, Good morning, and welcome 1820 01:52:40.079 --> 01:52:40.600 to the show. 1821 01:52:41.239 --> 01:52:42.119 Oh great to be with you. 1822 01:52:42.279 --> 01:52:42.560 Gary. 1823 01:52:42.760 --> 01:52:47.319 It's always great to have you. Originally, when we were 1824 01:52:47.319 --> 01:52:50.680 going to talk, we were going to talk about ten 1825 01:52:50.760 --> 01:52:54.319 years of Trump since he came down that Golden escalator 1826 01:52:54.319 --> 01:52:56.520 in twenty fifteen, and we can still do that a 1827 01:52:56.560 --> 01:53:02.800 little bit. It's been actually a pretty good week for 1828 01:53:02.920 --> 01:53:07.640 the president, and that may be understating it. Your thoughts 1829 01:53:07.680 --> 01:53:11.039 on the last week for President Trump and then in 1830 01:53:11.079 --> 01:53:13.880 the ten years since he came down that escalater and 1831 01:53:13.960 --> 01:53:18.520 how he has influenced and possibly steered our nation back 1832 01:53:18.560 --> 01:53:21.199 towards constitutionality if he's done that. 1833 01:53:22.359 --> 01:53:24.720 If I might take a more general view, Gary, I 1834 01:53:24.760 --> 01:53:29.000 would the last week has been tremendous and real great 1835 01:53:29.039 --> 01:53:34.960 signs of America being respected again in the world. In 1836 01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:39.279 the past ten years, if you take a thirty thousand 1837 01:53:39.359 --> 01:53:46.159 foot view, Trump has realigned the Republican Party from being 1838 01:53:47.239 --> 01:53:52.760 a junior partner to the Democrat Party's advanced towards socialism 1839 01:53:53.439 --> 01:53:58.840 to being one more aligned with our founding principles, aligned 1840 01:53:58.840 --> 01:54:02.960 with the Constitution. And at the same time he has 1841 01:54:03.039 --> 01:54:07.920 shattered the Democrat Party from being one that could hide 1842 01:54:10.079 --> 01:54:14.479 it's marched towards socialism, full socialism, to being one that 1843 01:54:14.600 --> 01:54:20.640 Now you have persons like AOC who are plainly and 1844 01:54:20.680 --> 01:54:27.439 Bernie Sanders plainly socialists, and they define themselves by being socialists. Previously, 1845 01:54:28.159 --> 01:54:32.720 if you were LBJ at the time of the Great Society, 1846 01:54:32.720 --> 01:54:37.479 which was a socialist program of redistribution, he had to 1847 01:54:37.560 --> 01:54:41.359 hide the fact that he wanted to be a socialist. 1848 01:54:41.800 --> 01:54:44.960 At the time, I think it was Tom Hayden Gary 1849 01:54:45.000 --> 01:54:48.680 who said, look, if we want to win elections, we 1850 01:54:48.840 --> 01:54:52.479 can't say we're socialists. We have to say we're other 1851 01:54:52.600 --> 01:54:57.199 than socialists. We have to be liberals. Right, say we're liberals, 1852 01:54:57.199 --> 01:55:01.039 but in fact be socialists. Today Trump has done a great, 1853 01:55:01.159 --> 01:55:04.640 great favor to the country. He has brought realigned the 1854 01:55:04.680 --> 01:55:09.319 Republican Party away from the Democrat Party and being more 1855 01:55:10.600 --> 01:55:15.760 what it should be, a constitutional based party. 1856 01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:18.439 Go ahead, yes, sir, no, you go ahead. Sorry, I 1857 01:55:18.560 --> 01:55:22.319 was saying this earlier this morning, Richard, is that before, 1858 01:55:23.039 --> 01:55:27.399 as you mentioned, the Democrats with their left leanings and 1859 01:55:27.439 --> 01:55:32.119 socialist policies could hide and pretend they were something that 1860 01:55:32.159 --> 01:55:35.720 they weren't. But the lines have never been more clearly defined. 1861 01:55:36.079 --> 01:55:41.600 And I think you see that with the primary election 1862 01:55:42.239 --> 01:55:47.800 on the Democrat primary of this guy Mondni in New 1863 01:55:47.880 --> 01:55:52.720 York City. I mean, you are either. If you're a Democrat, 1864 01:55:53.079 --> 01:55:57.680 you're a Marxist, you're a socialist. If you're a Republican, 1865 01:55:58.159 --> 01:56:03.239 the realigned Republican Party, the MAGA realignment of that party 1866 01:56:03.279 --> 01:56:07.760 through Donald Trump, it's clearly defined. These are the people 1867 01:56:07.800 --> 01:56:11.119 on the side of freedom in the Constitution, and the 1868 01:56:11.159 --> 01:56:15.760 Democrats are not. And there's literally no room for a 1869 01:56:15.880 --> 01:56:19.600 quote moderate Democrat in today's Democrat Party. 1870 01:56:19.319 --> 01:56:19.680 Is there. 1871 01:56:21.359 --> 01:56:24.079 Well, that's the great gift. I think if you take 1872 01:56:24.119 --> 01:56:27.720 the last ten years and think about how remarkable it 1873 01:56:27.840 --> 01:56:32.399 is that he has changed both political parties, and you're 1874 01:56:32.439 --> 01:56:37.520 exactly right in order to win a primary in the 1875 01:56:37.560 --> 01:56:42.000 Democratic Party now, like Mandanmi, Mom, Donnie, I have a 1876 01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:47.119 hard time pronouncing his name. Mam Donni. You have to say, 1877 01:56:47.159 --> 01:56:50.960 I'm going to take everything from the rich and give it. 1878 01:56:50.920 --> 01:56:51.399 To the poor. 1879 01:56:52.079 --> 01:56:55.079 Well, if you have that power, you have power to 1880 01:56:55.159 --> 01:57:01.239 take everything from everybody. Right, it's dictatory in a in 1881 01:57:01.319 --> 01:57:01.920 a way. 1882 01:57:03.000 --> 01:57:03.399 And so. 1883 01:57:04.840 --> 01:57:07.520 I think it's being very well defined by the last 1884 01:57:07.560 --> 01:57:10.920 ten years that they shift of the Republican Party towards 1885 01:57:10.920 --> 01:57:14.479 the Constitution and the shift of the Democrat Party away 1886 01:57:14.520 --> 01:57:20.399 from it is going to help the Republican Party over 1887 01:57:20.439 --> 01:57:21.720 the next ten years at least. 1888 01:57:22.279 --> 01:57:28.840 Do you believe that we will break trends the crystal 1889 01:57:28.880 --> 01:57:33.800 ball out, we will break trends of the opposition party 1890 01:57:34.359 --> 01:57:37.640 winning back Congress in the midterms. I don't. I don't 1891 01:57:37.680 --> 01:57:41.359 see how the Democrat Party recovers in time to gain 1892 01:57:41.439 --> 01:57:45.239 control of the House and Senate in twenty six do 1893 01:57:45.319 --> 01:57:46.760 you I think? 1894 01:57:47.000 --> 01:57:51.319 I think Gary, the idea should be to pronounce the 1895 01:57:51.479 --> 01:57:55.399 differences between now and the midterms. Yeah, the difference in 1896 01:57:55.680 --> 01:57:59.680 the differences between red states and blue states and how 1897 01:57:59.680 --> 01:58:02.720 they're performing. And just look at you at law and 1898 01:58:02.920 --> 01:58:06.039 order issue, or the tax issue, or the business flight 1899 01:58:07.199 --> 01:58:14.199 or you know, these these remaining green issues and taxations 1900 01:58:14.520 --> 01:58:18.119 and mandates, these are all things that if they're pronounced 1901 01:58:18.119 --> 01:58:21.119 between now in the midterms, the Republicans are going to 1902 01:58:21.159 --> 01:58:23.880 be very strong. If we can get the big beautiful 1903 01:58:23.960 --> 01:58:28.279 bill through and then have that growth and then in 1904 01:58:28.319 --> 01:58:33.359 the next year work on recision bills to contain spending. 1905 01:58:33.840 --> 01:58:36.920 I think it will have a great showing in the midterms. 1906 01:58:37.439 --> 01:58:41.800 Well, right now, the Senate and the House are battling 1907 01:58:41.840 --> 01:58:44.399 and working over time to try and get the big 1908 01:58:44.439 --> 01:58:48.800 beautiful bill so called past the Trump Agenda, which would 1909 01:58:48.800 --> 01:58:57.039 of course extend President Trump's tax cuts into perpetuity. If 1910 01:58:57.079 --> 01:59:00.640 they don't get it done, this false narrator that this 1911 01:59:00.720 --> 01:59:04.760 is a tax cut for the uberwealthy was what was used. 1912 01:59:05.159 --> 01:59:07.680 This is what was used back in twenty seventeen, and 1913 01:59:07.720 --> 01:59:10.960 it didn't want it didn't work. Then it's I don't 1914 01:59:10.960 --> 01:59:12.600 think it's going to work now, is it. 1915 01:59:13.399 --> 01:59:17.239 Well, the number that needs to get out is that 1916 01:59:17.319 --> 01:59:23.239 this was scored and the average middle class family of 1917 01:59:23.439 --> 01:59:28.319 four will will have thirteen thousand dollars more at their 1918 01:59:28.359 --> 01:59:32.680 discretion than given to a government that will waste it. Yeah, 1919 01:59:33.399 --> 01:59:35.840 and that should be key to this should be the 1920 01:59:35.840 --> 01:59:39.880 big message that you know, with thirteen thousand dollars, this 1921 01:59:39.960 --> 01:59:43.840 is a big difference. Gary, With thirteen thousand dollars, you 1922 01:59:43.840 --> 01:59:47.600 can send your kids to better schools. With thirteen thousand dollars, 1923 01:59:47.640 --> 01:59:50.880 you can repair your house with thirteen thousand dollars you 1924 01:59:50.920 --> 01:59:54.000 can help buy a truck to help your family business 1925 01:59:54.720 --> 01:59:57.840 instead of giving it to the government. And that's the 1926 01:59:57.840 --> 02:00:00.239 difference what they do in government. Oh, I'll take at 1927 02:00:00.239 --> 02:00:03.119 thirteen thousand dollars and as a Democrat, I'm going to 1928 02:00:03.119 --> 02:00:06.600 give it to somebody else who didn't earn it. That's 1929 02:00:06.640 --> 02:00:09.800 the Democrats. The Republican should be. You get your money back, 1930 02:00:10.319 --> 02:00:12.760 and that is freedom, That is freedom of choice. 1931 02:00:13.239 --> 02:00:17.720 The best thing about the Doge movement movement in my idea, 1932 02:00:17.720 --> 02:00:21.079 and this is another product of President Trump being president, 1933 02:00:21.239 --> 02:00:28.600 was Dogee is that people finally got to see how 1934 02:00:29.000 --> 02:00:32.119 their tax money. And you say, you take that thirteen 1935 02:00:32.159 --> 02:00:34.199 thousand dollars and we'll give it to the poor. No, 1936 02:00:34.560 --> 02:00:36.840 we're going to take that thirteen thousand dollars and we're 1937 02:00:36.880 --> 02:00:40.399 going to launder it and return it, return it to 1938 02:00:40.479 --> 02:00:45.920 our political cronies and ourselves by claiming it's foreign aid. 1939 02:00:46.600 --> 02:00:50.199 I mean all of this, you know, million dollars here, 1940 02:00:50.199 --> 02:00:56.079 two hundred million dollars there for transgender turtles in Guatemala, 1941 02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:59.439 and all of the laughable, all of the other nonsense. 1942 02:00:59.560 --> 02:01:03.840 And you're right, this recision bill that is coming down 1943 02:01:03.920 --> 02:01:08.279 after the big tax cut bill, the big beautiful bill, 1944 02:01:08.880 --> 02:01:15.000 is going to be terribly important to continuing the agenda 1945 02:01:15.239 --> 02:01:20.359 of responsibility. Finally, in our federal government, I just don't 1946 02:01:20.399 --> 02:01:22.119 know if they're capable of doing it. 1947 02:01:22.199 --> 02:01:26.319 Richard, Well, the hardest thing for a government to do 1948 02:01:26.439 --> 02:01:29.359 is to downsize, and the hardest thing for someone in 1949 02:01:29.439 --> 02:01:32.600 power to do is to give up power. But you're 1950 02:01:32.640 --> 02:01:36.239 exactly right. It is the end game of socialism that 1951 02:01:36.279 --> 02:01:39.880 they say they're taking all the money that people earn 1952 02:01:40.920 --> 02:01:43.720 for the poor, but in fact, in the end game, 1953 02:01:43.760 --> 02:01:46.840 it's always for themselves. I mean, all you have to 1954 02:01:46.840 --> 02:01:49.680 do is look at Castro or look to the example 1955 02:01:49.680 --> 02:01:55.039 of Venezuela. It's always the head person and his cronies 1956 02:01:55.119 --> 02:01:58.279 around him that get all the money, and then they 1957 02:01:58.560 --> 02:02:02.000 use the rest of the money in police state to 1958 02:02:02.720 --> 02:02:07.359 lock everybody down. And that's socialism. That's the reality. So 1959 02:02:07.399 --> 02:02:09.720 when they're coming out now, this is the great gift 1960 02:02:09.760 --> 02:02:12.840 of Trump to go back to the first question. They 1961 02:02:12.880 --> 02:02:15.680 have to be who they are now by definition, they 1962 02:02:15.720 --> 02:02:17.720 have to come out and they have to say I 1963 02:02:18.000 --> 02:02:20.840 am socialist and this is what I want to do. 1964 02:02:20.920 --> 02:02:23.960 But we have to define Okay, you want to take 1965 02:02:24.039 --> 02:02:26.279 eighty percent of the money we earn, what are you 1966 02:02:26.319 --> 02:02:29.079 going to do with it? It has to be defined 1967 02:02:29.119 --> 02:02:32.800 that it actually goes to Stacy Abrams and her friends. 1968 02:02:34.359 --> 02:02:36.640 All right, there we are in the subject of transgender 1969 02:02:36.680 --> 02:02:41.199 turtles again, Richard, Yes exactly? Can you hold on for 1970 02:02:41.239 --> 02:02:42.399 another segment? Real quick? 1971 02:02:42.880 --> 02:02:43.039 Yes? 1972 02:02:43.119 --> 02:02:43.399 Certain? 1973 02:02:43.439 --> 02:02:47.640 Okay, great, more with historian Richard Lyons, author of the 1974 02:02:47.720 --> 02:02:51.800 DNA of Democracy, Shadows of the Acropolis and Passages through 1975 02:02:51.840 --> 02:02:55.640 the Shadows, talking about ten years of Trump and what 1976 02:02:55.760 --> 02:02:58.960 that has meant for our country in a very positive way. 1977 02:02:59.359 --> 02:03:02.520 Gary Jeff for Brian Thomas. This morning. It's eight seventeen 1978 02:03:02.600 --> 02:03:06.840 on fifty five KRC the Talk station. A few minutes 1979 02:03:06.840 --> 02:03:12.159 with Richard C. Lyons, author of Passages through the Shadows, 1980 02:03:12.319 --> 02:03:17.920 the third part in his trilogy on constitutional and democratic 1981 02:03:17.960 --> 02:03:21.399 government and to what it was intended to be, its 1982 02:03:21.520 --> 02:03:26.079 history and where we are now? And Richard, I wanted 1983 02:03:26.119 --> 02:03:28.920 to ask you real quick. We talked about President Trump's 1984 02:03:29.159 --> 02:03:35.760 really exceptional week, from the successful military operation last weekend 1985 02:03:36.800 --> 02:03:43.720 to the eventual ceasefire that still seems to be holding 1986 02:03:43.800 --> 02:03:49.319 between Israel and Iran, and then the NATO success, and 1987 02:03:49.359 --> 02:03:52.439 not only the NATO success of him getting almost all 1988 02:03:52.520 --> 02:03:56.720 of those NATO countries to agree to five percent contribution 1989 02:03:56.800 --> 02:03:59.920 of their GDP for their own defense and for the 1990 02:04:00.199 --> 02:04:04.279 safety of Europe, but also the Supreme Court decisions that 1991 02:04:04.359 --> 02:04:07.239 have come down in the President's favor, and there have 1992 02:04:07.239 --> 02:04:12.520 been a few of those. Did you were you in 1993 02:04:12.600 --> 02:04:17.199 support of what the President was doing in regards to 1994 02:04:17.359 --> 02:04:20.680 stopping Iran's nuclear program and was this an important step 1995 02:04:20.720 --> 02:04:21.920 in keeping us safe? 1996 02:04:22.399 --> 02:04:26.000 In your use, Oh yeah absolutely. I wrote a book, 1997 02:04:26.399 --> 02:04:29.960 Gary Colbott, By the Chance of War, and Part four 1998 02:04:30.079 --> 02:04:33.800 was a prophecy that looks exactly like what would have 1999 02:04:33.880 --> 02:04:39.359 happened if Iran had continued to having a nuclear capability. 2000 02:04:40.319 --> 02:04:43.359 The thing that Trump looked at it and saw that 2001 02:04:43.399 --> 02:04:48.119 they would have a launchable bomb within weeks. And if 2002 02:04:48.159 --> 02:04:51.800 that happened, if Iran had had even one nuclear weapon, 2003 02:04:52.800 --> 02:04:55.920 the whole game would have changed to one of being 2004 02:04:56.000 --> 02:04:59.840 Iran being able to call Washington, DC and saying, unless 2005 02:04:59.880 --> 02:05:03.920 you send me skins of money like Obama did, I'm 2006 02:05:03.920 --> 02:05:07.600 going to send this nuke into Jerusalem and incinerate it. 2007 02:05:08.560 --> 02:05:11.399 And that sort of blackmail is something we would have 2008 02:05:11.399 --> 02:05:15.680 been subject to for the rest of time. And so 2009 02:05:15.720 --> 02:05:17.920 I think it was a national victory and it was 2010 02:05:17.960 --> 02:05:21.199 an international victory that Trump went in with great daring 2011 02:05:21.720 --> 02:05:27.000 and great precision, and God bless those pilots who you know, 2012 02:05:27.159 --> 02:05:29.399 I think they were in the air for thirty seven hours, 2013 02:05:29.720 --> 02:05:33.640 wasn't yes, and then drop that ordnance with such precision 2014 02:05:33.720 --> 02:05:38.520 to take out all the threats that ran posed with 2015 02:05:38.600 --> 02:05:39.680 their nuclear production. 2016 02:05:39.960 --> 02:05:43.479 And the thing is that it was not an overnight thing, 2017 02:05:44.760 --> 02:05:48.119 even though it occurred in thirty seven hours time. This 2018 02:05:48.159 --> 02:05:51.039 had been in the planning stages since two thousand and eight, 2019 02:05:51.119 --> 02:05:54.680 two thousand and nine by the military. These pilots had 2020 02:05:54.680 --> 02:05:58.800 been in simulators for thirty seven hours facing fire that 2021 02:05:58.840 --> 02:06:01.439 they never had to face because Israel had already done 2022 02:06:01.479 --> 02:06:05.479 a great job of knocking out Iran's air defense system 2023 02:06:06.039 --> 02:06:09.039 so the btwos could get in undetected. But this was 2024 02:06:09.079 --> 02:06:12.520 a result of many years. You know, you always say 2025 02:06:12.560 --> 02:06:16.800 there's no such thing as an overnight success, But it 2026 02:06:16.880 --> 02:06:21.359 took President Trump to finally define that this was the 2027 02:06:21.439 --> 02:06:24.119 time to do it. And it was so well done. 2028 02:06:24.119 --> 02:06:27.239 The deception that was used, I think it was just 2029 02:06:27.399 --> 02:06:30.560 absolutely remarkable and very very necessary. 2030 02:06:31.399 --> 02:06:33.920 Yeah, and if you take, if you take again a 2031 02:06:34.000 --> 02:06:38.279 thirty thousand foot view, this all goes back to October seventh, 2032 02:06:38.479 --> 02:06:42.319 doesn't it. Yes, And then you know the Israelis being 2033 02:06:42.319 --> 02:06:45.960 able to take out Hamas, turn around, take out Hezbollah, 2034 02:06:46.800 --> 02:06:51.159 then answer Iran's missile attacks by taking out all of 2035 02:06:51.199 --> 02:06:56.159 Iran's defensive systems so that they literally they had no 2036 02:06:56.600 --> 02:07:01.600 defense in the air, and then for our team to 2037 02:07:01.640 --> 02:07:04.920 go in and take out the nuclear installations. 2038 02:07:05.000 --> 02:07:07.079 I think it's just a. 2039 02:07:07.039 --> 02:07:13.039 Remarkable history that shows you what can happen when countries 2040 02:07:13.079 --> 02:07:17.560 of virtue stick together, defend each other and take out 2041 02:07:17.560 --> 02:07:18.199 a predator. 2042 02:07:19.119 --> 02:07:22.800 You have a piece talking about Democrats in California burning 2043 02:07:22.840 --> 02:07:27.479 the US constitutional Richard, And yes, we don't have an 2044 02:07:27.520 --> 02:07:30.640 extremely amount of a large amount of time, but how 2045 02:07:30.680 --> 02:07:32.640 exactly are they doing that? 2046 02:07:33.600 --> 02:07:39.279 Well, it is the first duty of government and this 2047 02:07:39.439 --> 02:07:41.199 is why. And if you look at the Declaration of 2048 02:07:41.279 --> 02:07:45.000 Independence and the Constitution, it states in the first paragraph 2049 02:07:45.600 --> 02:07:49.720 that the first duty of government is to protect the life, 2050 02:07:49.880 --> 02:07:51.319 property and. 2051 02:07:53.159 --> 02:07:53.880 Oh what is it? 2052 02:07:53.920 --> 02:07:59.640 The rights, life, liberty, and property of its citizens. Yes, right, 2053 02:08:00.079 --> 02:08:03.279 that's both in the Declaration and in the Constitution. It 2054 02:08:03.399 --> 02:08:05.840 is the first office of government. So what did Biden 2055 02:08:05.960 --> 02:08:10.199 do during his presidency? He abdicated his office as commander 2056 02:08:10.199 --> 02:08:14.439 in chief by opening up the southern border. He abdicated 2057 02:08:14.479 --> 02:08:18.359 his office as the chief law enforcement officer of the 2058 02:08:18.439 --> 02:08:23.159 country by not fulfilling his duty in the execution of 2059 02:08:23.199 --> 02:08:27.880 the law. So he burned down the American constitution doing that. 2060 02:08:28.840 --> 02:08:31.920 When you set up sanctuary states and cities, you are 2061 02:08:32.039 --> 02:08:38.199 abdicating the office. In California, in Illinois, in Oregon and 2062 02:08:38.479 --> 02:08:42.720 Washington and all these sanctuary states and cities. The governors 2063 02:08:42.800 --> 02:08:46.359 and the mayors are literally abdicating their first duty of 2064 02:08:46.359 --> 02:08:51.079 office because all of the state constitutions and all of 2065 02:08:51.159 --> 02:08:55.960 the city charters mimic our Declaration of Independence and our 2066 02:08:56.079 --> 02:09:01.479 federal Constitution in demanding that those officers defend their citizens 2067 02:09:01.520 --> 02:09:06.439 and protect them secure that space. And what they've done 2068 02:09:07.039 --> 02:09:10.520 is allowed a criminal network to operate in all those 2069 02:09:10.560 --> 02:09:13.560 sanctuary cities that are in line with each other. They're 2070 02:09:13.560 --> 02:09:16.680 in communication with each other, and they're dealing drugs, they're 2071 02:09:16.680 --> 02:09:21.319 dealing in sexual slavery, and in all sorts of criminal acts, 2072 02:09:21.319 --> 02:09:25.720 whereas businesses aren't even on Michigan Avenue anymore in Chicago 2073 02:09:26.479 --> 02:09:30.520 because they know they'll get broken into and looted. It's 2074 02:09:31.000 --> 02:09:34.079 really it's criminal, and it's it's they literally are burning 2075 02:09:34.119 --> 02:09:36.079 their constitutions and charters. 2076 02:09:36.399 --> 02:09:40.720 Richard Lyons, I appreciate so much your historical perspective and 2077 02:09:41.119 --> 02:09:43.640 the view from thirty thousand feet up. As you say, 2078 02:09:44.680 --> 02:09:47.880 this has been great. And as we conclude, I want 2079 02:09:47.920 --> 02:09:50.119 you to know that my wife just noted that you 2080 02:09:50.159 --> 02:09:52.920 said duty, and I'm trying to explain it to her 2081 02:09:52.960 --> 02:09:59.039 that it's duty right. But thank you so much for 2082 02:09:59.119 --> 02:10:01.359 your time this morning, Richard c. Lyons. 2083 02:10:02.359 --> 02:10:04.000 Oh, thank you, Gary very much. 2084 02:10:04.239 --> 02:10:08.199 You bet. We continue with JT. Young, one of the 2085 02:10:08.239 --> 02:10:12.680 more thoughtful writers on the American scene in a conservative bent, 2086 02:10:13.319 --> 02:10:15.600 coming up right after the break here on fifty five 2087 02:10:15.680 --> 02:10:21.520 KRCV talk station, Scott, good morning, great to be with 2088 02:10:21.640 --> 02:10:29.199 you again, Gary, jeff in for Brian Thomas. His latest 2089 02:10:29.199 --> 02:10:34.640 piece out yesterday in The Hill entitled What's the Democrats problem? 2090 02:10:34.760 --> 02:10:41.760 It's the spending stupid? Just another example of this guy's writing. 2091 02:10:41.800 --> 02:10:46.359 He's one of the more thoughtful conservative opinion makers on 2092 02:10:46.399 --> 02:10:51.520 the scene, I think, and when it comes to finance 2093 02:10:51.520 --> 02:10:54.239 and opinion, no one better than JT. Young. And he 2094 02:10:54.359 --> 02:10:58.079 joins us now for a few minutes on this Friday morning. JT. 2095 02:10:58.239 --> 02:10:58.720 How are you? 2096 02:11:00.079 --> 02:11:02.399 I am fine and always better when I'm with you. 2097 02:11:02.600 --> 02:11:07.960 Care that's very nice of you. You were talking about 2098 02:11:08.279 --> 02:11:13.760 the Democrats problem spending. The Republicans are having a problem 2099 02:11:14.159 --> 02:11:17.840 with some spending in this big, beautiful bill. But the 2100 02:11:17.920 --> 02:11:23.279 reason they're having a problem, it's been years of what 2101 02:11:23.439 --> 02:11:27.000 we're finding out is money laundering, mostly by the Democrats. 2102 02:11:27.239 --> 02:11:31.600 And I was just talking with Richard Lyons, who was 2103 02:11:31.640 --> 02:11:34.319 another guy I respect his opinion very much about the 2104 02:11:34.359 --> 02:11:37.720 first ten years of President Trump on the scene politically, 2105 02:11:37.760 --> 02:11:40.520 in what he has done and been able to do 2106 02:11:40.600 --> 02:11:47.359 to realign the parties, both parties and people kept on asking, 2107 02:11:48.239 --> 02:11:52.039 and I was one of them who was actually president 2108 02:11:52.880 --> 02:11:58.520 from January of twenty twenty one until when President Trump 2109 02:11:58.720 --> 02:12:02.319 took back over the Oval office. And there's no question 2110 02:12:02.479 --> 02:12:06.439 about who's in charge now in the executive branch, but 2111 02:12:06.600 --> 02:12:11.640 who was really in charge it More and more I'm 2112 02:12:11.680 --> 02:12:16.960 thinking it wasn't. It wasn't Obama, it wasn't any of 2113 02:12:17.000 --> 02:12:19.720 the aides. It was President Gee of China. What do 2114 02:12:19.760 --> 02:12:23.319 you think about that theory? 2115 02:12:23.520 --> 02:12:26.199 Well, I'm not sure I would go quite that far, 2116 02:12:26.680 --> 02:12:32.920 but I certainly think that China has had an undue 2117 02:12:33.079 --> 02:12:38.319 influence in American politics. And I think you know what 2118 02:12:38.359 --> 02:12:42.159 we have seen at the beginning of this second Trump 2119 02:12:42.279 --> 02:12:47.920 administration has been an abrupt break with that, and it 2120 02:12:48.000 --> 02:12:52.239 has definitely caused a lot of consternation in Washington, and 2121 02:12:52.319 --> 02:12:56.640 I think among a lot of the elite who see 2122 02:12:56.760 --> 02:13:01.199 a relationship that they have grown very comfortable with by 2123 02:13:01.359 --> 02:13:07.800 importing cheap Chinese products and selling them obviously at a 2124 02:13:07.840 --> 02:13:11.520 profit here, and that this has caused a great deal 2125 02:13:11.560 --> 02:13:12.800 of concern amongst them. 2126 02:13:13.399 --> 02:13:18.159 Well, we have worried out loud, many have worried about 2127 02:13:18.520 --> 02:13:21.960 things like Iranian sleeper cells because of the open border, 2128 02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:25.079 of the unvetted border, and we know that many many 2129 02:13:25.159 --> 02:13:30.720 Iranians came here and many of them got away and 2130 02:13:30.760 --> 02:13:33.880 were released into the country. But the other reason I 2131 02:13:33.960 --> 02:13:37.279 make this assertion that it's a possibility that g was 2132 02:13:37.319 --> 02:13:40.560 actually in charge of our country for four years or 2133 02:13:40.600 --> 02:13:44.399 had undue control over what went on at the White House, 2134 02:13:44.880 --> 02:13:49.399 is because there were also some twenty six to thirty 2135 02:13:49.479 --> 02:13:55.399 thousand male Chinese people men that came into this country 2136 02:13:55.479 --> 02:13:59.159 and were scattered about in this open border policy of 2137 02:13:59.239 --> 02:14:04.760 Joe Biden. And that does not happen without the acquiescence 2138 02:14:04.760 --> 02:14:06.960 of the Chinese government, does it. 2139 02:14:07.560 --> 02:14:11.319 No? No, And you're you're certainly absolutely right about that, 2140 02:14:11.399 --> 02:14:12.760 and I have written about this. 2141 02:14:14.760 --> 02:14:15.600 Throughout the year. 2142 02:14:16.039 --> 02:14:21.960 I think, you know, China's China's threat to the US. 2143 02:14:22.119 --> 02:14:24.039 It has been very clear. I mean, I think it's 2144 02:14:24.079 --> 02:14:27.039 been very explicit as well. It's coming from China. There's 2145 02:14:27.199 --> 02:14:30.439 there's no question they are looking to be the dominant 2146 02:14:30.479 --> 02:14:35.479 world power. And to your point, with the open border 2147 02:14:35.520 --> 02:14:38.960 policy that we saw, where I think, you know, conservatively 2148 02:14:39.479 --> 02:14:43.560 ten million people cross the border under the Biden administration, 2149 02:14:44.199 --> 02:14:52.159 and we truly don't know how many as got away. 2150 02:14:52.319 --> 02:14:56.479 We're never never cabulated, but we know to your point, 2151 02:14:57.600 --> 02:15:00.680 tens of thousands of Chinese came in. We also know 2152 02:15:01.159 --> 02:15:04.079 that people on the terrorists watch list have been apprehended, 2153 02:15:04.119 --> 02:15:06.960 but that doesn't tell us anything about the ones that weren't. 2154 02:15:07.079 --> 02:15:13.840 And certainly Middle Eastern illegal immigrants have come in as well. 2155 02:15:13.880 --> 02:15:16.760 Everybody knew the border was wide open. And I think 2156 02:15:17.159 --> 02:15:23.319 as we have seen from the two most recent attacks, 2157 02:15:23.960 --> 02:15:27.960 the one in Ukraine the one by israel An Operation 2158 02:15:28.239 --> 02:15:33.399 Rising Lion, both of these were done first. The first 2159 02:15:33.439 --> 02:15:38.239 strikes were done by drones released within the country they 2160 02:15:38.279 --> 02:15:43.720 were attacking, and both the Ukrainians and the Israelis had, 2161 02:15:44.000 --> 02:15:50.560 you know, a brilliant espionage and planning an execution to 2162 02:15:50.640 --> 02:15:54.760 get these drones in Well, they would have faced no 2163 02:15:54.960 --> 02:15:58.560 such problem getting them into the US because the border 2164 02:15:58.680 --> 02:16:03.199 was wide open. These things could have been easily obtained 2165 02:16:03.199 --> 02:16:08.760 in the US. So I think it's very clear that 2166 02:16:08.800 --> 02:16:12.239 there is a very real threat. The war has changed 2167 02:16:12.279 --> 02:16:16.039 a lot, and I think our defensive posture has always been, 2168 02:16:16.159 --> 02:16:19.800 I think correctly outward looking, and now needs to be 2169 02:16:19.880 --> 02:16:22.520 more inward looking, as we have just seen from these 2170 02:16:22.520 --> 02:16:24.119 two most recent attacks. 2171 02:16:24.279 --> 02:16:28.159 All right, JT, if you will indulge me and we'll 2172 02:16:28.199 --> 02:16:30.239 take a quick break and come back and we will 2173 02:16:30.279 --> 02:16:33.799 talk about your piece in the Hill about what's the 2174 02:16:33.799 --> 02:16:38.079 Democrats problem. It's the spending stupid As it regards the 2175 02:16:38.120 --> 02:16:41.920 Big Beautiful Bill. They didn't seem to have a problem 2176 02:16:41.920 --> 02:16:45.559 with that crisis level spending during the Build Back Better 2177 02:16:45.680 --> 02:16:50.879 Bill back in twenty one, did they No. Eight thirty 2178 02:16:50.920 --> 02:16:54.120 eight Gary Jeffin from Brian on fifty five KRC the 2179 02:16:54.639 --> 02:16:58.200 Talk station. Hey, j T. Young, his latest peace in 2180 02:16:58.239 --> 02:17:03.120 the Hill talking to Democrats problem, it's the spending stupid 2181 02:17:03.159 --> 02:17:09.159 and JT welcome back. It was mentioned that if these 2182 02:17:09.319 --> 02:17:12.120 tax cuts go into effect that are in the Big 2183 02:17:12.159 --> 02:17:15.280 Beautiful Bill, the package that's now being debated and bandied 2184 02:17:15.280 --> 02:17:20.600 about and argued about in the Senate. If they go 2185 02:17:20.639 --> 02:17:25.120 into effect, the average American family of four will have 2186 02:17:25.159 --> 02:17:31.200 an extra thirteen thousand dollars at their disposal if they 2187 02:17:31.680 --> 02:17:36.280 don't pass this, hopefully by next week. If they don't 2188 02:17:36.319 --> 02:17:41.840 pass it, everybody's taxes are going to be dramatically higher. 2189 02:17:41.920 --> 02:17:45.639 You right, after four years of crisis level spending, Democrats 2190 02:17:45.680 --> 02:17:49.159 now worry about deficits and debt. Strange, isn't it. The 2191 02:17:49.239 --> 02:17:53.040 democrats selective attention shows clearly that their priority is not 2192 02:17:53.200 --> 02:17:57.319 deficits and debt, but preserving bloated spending and raising taxes 2193 02:17:57.360 --> 02:18:01.319 to pay for it. If you can allow on what 2194 02:18:01.360 --> 02:18:03.959 the Democrats really are doing and what their problem is, 2195 02:18:04.040 --> 02:18:06.799 go ahead, please sure. 2196 02:18:06.879 --> 02:18:11.479 Thank you so much for the opportunity, Gary, Jeff. What 2197 02:18:11.520 --> 02:18:16.040 we're really seeing here and nobody is talking about it, 2198 02:18:16.079 --> 02:18:19.399 certainly not the Democrats, is they're playing a game with 2199 02:18:19.440 --> 02:18:24.479 what's called baselines and what they're really wanting to call 2200 02:18:25.159 --> 02:18:30.719 this bill a tax cut when in reality, this bill, 2201 02:18:31.840 --> 02:18:34.280 short of knowing all the particulars in it, but in 2202 02:18:34.319 --> 02:18:38.399 its basic form, is really trying to keep taxes from 2203 02:18:38.479 --> 02:18:42.520 going up. They would expire. It the tax breaks that 2204 02:18:42.559 --> 02:18:45.600 were enacted in twenty seventeen would expire at the end 2205 02:18:45.600 --> 02:18:48.760 of this year, so taxes would revert to their pre 2206 02:18:49.440 --> 02:18:52.680 tax cut level. So you're not getting a tax cut. 2207 02:18:52.760 --> 02:18:56.200 This is not a tax cut, it's a tax rate 2208 02:18:56.479 --> 02:19:03.559 maintenance bill. But Democrats know onto the baseline assuming tax 2209 02:19:03.639 --> 02:19:08.600 rates go up, So they called this an amazing deficit increase, 2210 02:19:09.520 --> 02:19:14.239 debt increase. It's not. It's just keeping rates where they were. 2211 02:19:14.600 --> 02:19:17.799 It's that simple. But this is a game that's played 2212 02:19:17.799 --> 02:19:22.639 in Washington over baselines, so they've chosen a different baseline. 2213 02:19:22.920 --> 02:19:28.440 Strangely enough, they didn't have the same compunction about baselines 2214 02:19:28.840 --> 02:19:31.799 when it came to their four years of spending. And 2215 02:19:32.280 --> 02:19:36.719 we should have reverted back to a pre COVID baseline, 2216 02:19:36.760 --> 02:19:39.959 in other words, spending at the rate we were spending 2217 02:19:40.239 --> 02:19:44.520 before the pandemic hits. Democrats refused to do this, and 2218 02:19:44.600 --> 02:19:50.959 by doing it, they padded trillions of dollars of debt 2219 02:19:51.120 --> 02:19:55.760 and deficits into the country over the last four years, 2220 02:19:55.799 --> 02:19:58.479 and they want to keep it at that level. So 2221 02:19:58.559 --> 02:20:01.200 what they need is a tax actually increase to help 2222 02:20:01.559 --> 02:20:04.680 pay for and offset some of those costs. So that's 2223 02:20:04.680 --> 02:20:07.920 what they're trying to neatly do now with this game 2224 02:20:08.120 --> 02:20:12.719 of calling keeping tax rates at the same rate that 2225 02:20:12.799 --> 02:20:15.479 they are right now, they're trying to call that a 2226 02:20:15.600 --> 02:20:22.159 tax increase and stop it and pocket that money to 2227 02:20:22.319 --> 02:20:24.040 offset the spending they want to keep. 2228 02:20:24.479 --> 02:20:28.440 Yeah, that's simple. And the Recision Bill that is following afterwards, 2229 02:20:28.559 --> 02:20:34.159 JT is very important when it comes to possibly looking 2230 02:20:34.200 --> 02:20:37.719 at seriously reducing our national debt. I mean, isn't the 2231 02:20:37.760 --> 02:20:40.600 Precision Bill just I mean, if we get the big 2232 02:20:40.600 --> 02:20:45.000 beautiful bill and the baseline tax cuts remaining the same 2233 02:20:45.600 --> 02:20:49.520 as what happened in twenty seventeen, we get those to 2234 02:20:49.559 --> 02:20:54.000 stay the same, and then we get them to actually 2235 02:20:54.120 --> 02:21:00.760 start cutting some of these bloated doze items that are 2236 02:21:00.799 --> 02:21:03.840 in the Recision Bill. I mean, they have to almost 2237 02:21:04.000 --> 02:21:07.280 be passed together, don't they, for it to really be 2238 02:21:07.479 --> 02:21:09.600 meaningful to the American taxpayer. 2239 02:21:10.719 --> 02:21:14.159 Yeah, I think we're What we need to see is 2240 02:21:14.159 --> 02:21:18.120 a concerted four year effort to pair back the spending 2241 02:21:19.040 --> 02:21:22.959 just back to the trajectory that zoned prior to COVID. 2242 02:21:23.159 --> 02:21:25.639 That's all we're talking about. Yeah, and that's all we 2243 02:21:25.719 --> 02:21:28.959 really need to do. But to your point, we need 2244 02:21:28.959 --> 02:21:32.200 to have spending cuts inside the Big Beautiful Bill, and 2245 02:21:32.280 --> 02:21:34.159 I think they're going to try to get as many 2246 02:21:34.239 --> 02:21:38.079 as their political low leverage will. 2247 02:21:37.879 --> 02:21:38.760 Allow them to do. 2248 02:21:38.920 --> 02:21:43.239 They have tight majorities, that's just a political reality. They 2249 02:21:43.280 --> 02:21:46.079 need to get all they can in that. And then 2250 02:21:46.159 --> 02:21:49.680 to your point, we need to pursue more recision bills. 2251 02:21:49.799 --> 02:21:52.120 We need to do this one. We need to see 2252 02:21:52.159 --> 02:21:55.479 anything that they couldn't get into the Big Beautiful Bill 2253 02:21:55.959 --> 02:21:59.040 that needs to come in the recision bills. This has 2254 02:21:59.079 --> 02:22:02.120 to be an ongoing effort if we're serious, and we 2255 02:22:02.200 --> 02:22:05.719 need to be. We should be the entire strength of 2256 02:22:05.799 --> 02:22:11.079 America's economy and the military that rests on top of it, 2257 02:22:11.280 --> 02:22:15.040 kind of where we were starting our conversation earlier. All 2258 02:22:15.079 --> 02:22:17.440 of that lives on top of an economy. If you 2259 02:22:17.520 --> 02:22:22.239 don't have a strong economy underneath, everything else falls apart 2260 02:22:22.319 --> 02:22:26.000 as well. So we need this, and we need to 2261 02:22:26.000 --> 02:22:30.440 get the deficits and debt and back in order and 2262 02:22:30.799 --> 02:22:34.200 to a reasonable level. And so we need to pursue 2263 02:22:34.239 --> 02:22:36.719 the spending cuts all that we can, and the Big 2264 02:22:36.760 --> 02:22:39.680 Beautiful Bill. We need to do the recision bill that 2265 02:22:39.760 --> 02:22:42.479 you just mentioned, And you're so absolutely right. It is 2266 02:22:42.559 --> 02:22:45.760 important and it's important that we keep doing this over 2267 02:22:45.799 --> 02:22:48.159 the next four years. There need to be more recision 2268 02:22:48.200 --> 02:22:48.959 bills behind this. 2269 02:22:49.879 --> 02:22:54.479 And finally talking to JT. Young this morning, Finally, JT. 2270 02:22:56.200 --> 02:22:59.000 There have been some very important as the session comes 2271 02:22:59.040 --> 02:23:04.559 to a close Scotis Supreme Court decisions, And for those 2272 02:23:04.600 --> 02:23:08.239 of us who are pro life, I thought it was very, 2273 02:23:08.639 --> 02:23:12.600 very significant that the Supreme Court just voted six to 2274 02:23:12.680 --> 02:23:17.959 three no surprise there, that states do have the right 2275 02:23:18.000 --> 02:23:22.719 to defund planned parenthood. Who are you know among the 2276 02:23:22.840 --> 02:23:25.799 things that they do the murder of unborn babies. I 2277 02:23:25.799 --> 02:23:29.239 think this is a huge week for Supreme Court decisions, 2278 02:23:29.479 --> 02:23:32.719 and we still got a few more to come, don't. 2279 02:23:32.479 --> 02:23:35.719 We Yes, And I think I think you're going to 2280 02:23:35.799 --> 02:23:39.159 see the Left is going to rue the day that 2281 02:23:39.280 --> 02:23:44.440 they took this administration to court. So frequently, that's always 2282 02:23:44.520 --> 02:23:48.079 been their knee jerk reaction. They've done it for decades. 2283 02:23:48.600 --> 02:23:52.319 But I think they have failed to take into account 2284 02:23:52.399 --> 02:23:56.920 that Trump's strongest majority is not in the Senate, it's 2285 02:23:57.000 --> 02:24:00.319 not in the House, it wasn't even in his popuer 2286 02:24:00.719 --> 02:24:04.319 vote victory. It's in the Supreme Court. And the more 2287 02:24:04.360 --> 02:24:07.360 of these cases that they take to the Supreme Court, 2288 02:24:07.879 --> 02:24:10.559 the more, they're going to find that Trump is winning, 2289 02:24:10.920 --> 02:24:15.239 that he's creating precedents for future victories, and even where 2290 02:24:15.239 --> 02:24:19.799 he gets setbacks, they are going to give him information 2291 02:24:20.159 --> 02:24:23.120 as to how he can tweak his approach and then 2292 02:24:23.280 --> 02:24:28.280 make it compliant with the Supreme Court's rulings. So I 2293 02:24:28.319 --> 02:24:32.479 think exactly what you said on planned parenthood, big victory there. 2294 02:24:33.200 --> 02:24:36.319 It's about time, and I think you're going to find 2295 02:24:36.559 --> 02:24:40.440 more and more of these rolling through the more cases 2296 02:24:40.479 --> 02:24:42.600 that get up to the Supreme Court. 2297 02:24:42.920 --> 02:24:47.239 Well, the biggest one is can these lower courts make 2298 02:24:47.319 --> 02:24:52.040 rulings for the entire nation basically and pretending that they're 2299 02:24:52.079 --> 02:24:55.479 the president or they're the Supreme Court. I think some 2300 02:24:55.680 --> 02:24:57.600 justices in the Supreme Court are going to have some 2301 02:24:57.680 --> 02:25:00.440 issues with lower courts thinking that they're the supreme court 2302 02:25:00.479 --> 02:25:00.959 of the land. 2303 02:25:02.959 --> 02:25:06.159 I think you're absolutely right. I mean, I think there's 2304 02:25:06.239 --> 02:25:13.920 certainly nothing constitutional about having any court anywhere being able 2305 02:25:13.959 --> 02:25:17.920 to make nation wide ruleings that go beyond the jurisdiction 2306 02:25:18.040 --> 02:25:18.920 of the court itself. 2307 02:25:19.000 --> 02:25:22.639 Yeah. Absolutely, JT. Young, thank you so much for your time. 2308 02:25:22.680 --> 02:25:24.840 As always, my friend, I'm glad you could join us 2309 02:25:24.879 --> 02:25:29.319 this morning, and we'll look forward to reading more as 2310 02:25:29.360 --> 02:25:32.159 you are, like I said, one of the most thoughtful 2311 02:25:32.239 --> 02:25:34.440 conservative writers on the scene. I believe. 2312 02:25:34.719 --> 02:25:37.680 Thank you, Thank you so much, Gary Jeff. 2313 02:25:37.719 --> 02:25:41.040 Have a great weekend.
