Speaker 1: By vote for if you got here, I see the
Speaker 1: talkication Friday Eve. It was a vacation, yes, bull, you
Speaker 1: know the rest of the word. It is Friday, even
Speaker 1: a very happy one, so you and I appreciate everybody
Speaker 1: showing up the Listener lunch yesterday. Had a great time,
Speaker 1: really nice crowd, a lot of fun and I had
Speaker 1: good food. Schnitzel sandwich. That's the way to go over
Speaker 1: at the Weedam and Brewer Brewery. Man probably not a
Speaker 1: healthy option. Buddy was outstanding anyway, fun times and yeah,
Speaker 1: I lost to cribbage Mic again, so they're at him
Speaker 1: on the record, not embarrassed to admit it. That he
Speaker 1: is a better cribbage player than me is demonstrated by
Speaker 1: the number of wins versus the number of wins I've
Speaker 1: had over the years. Anyway, it was a good time
Speaker 1: and thanks again to everybody for making the Listener lunch.
Speaker 1: Next one is the last one before the election. Anderson
Speaker 1: Pub and Girls where we're going to be, so I'll
Speaker 1: be reminded folks of that between now and then. What's
Speaker 1: going on in the morning show today, Americans for Prosperity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we hear from Donovan and Neil Americans for prosperity. Can
Speaker 1: I be talking about this cease and desist letter that
Speaker 1: David Yost sent to Columbus Public schools, applauding the Attorney
Speaker 1: General for saying the letter to Columbus public schools student
Speaker 1: busing paid for with public tax dollars, and students should
Speaker 1: have equal access to that service as long as the
Speaker 1: government is providing it government funded. School administrators are likely
Speaker 1: using this tactic as punishment for recent expansion of school choice.
Speaker 1: You know what, and that's another winning thing for the Republicans.
Speaker 1: Stick with school choice, stick with supporting charter schools, stick
Speaker 1: with what works and what parent doesn't want school choice.
Speaker 1: I keep going back to that. I know the teachers'
Speaker 1: unions don't want school choice, and we understand why monopoly
Speaker 1: allows them to poorly serve our students and well raise
Speaker 1: a bunch of children have zero critical thinking skills, which
Speaker 1: I think is really the problems going on in the
Speaker 1: world right there. Right now, we are in the process,
Speaker 1: the United States in the process of accusing Russia of
Speaker 1: trying to propagandize us. We'll get the details on that.
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to do that. Blaming the Kremen for
Speaker 1: targeting American voters with political propaganda and disinformation. Yeah, deastated
Speaker 1: by a minute stration and cues. Let me reputant of
Speaker 1: orchestrating a covert campaign influence you. You and I suppose
Speaker 1: me over the coming US election. They say Russia's in
Speaker 1: the bag for Donald Trump, and I'm just scratching my
Speaker 1: head over this. You know, we all know the world
Speaker 1: is just united via the Internet. Everybody can influence anybody. Everyone.
Speaker 1: You call Joe strecker Off you want a podcast page,
Speaker 1: You'll help you produce a podcast. He does it on
Speaker 1: the side, that's what he does. And then you will
Speaker 1: have a voice. Maybe people will tune in and listen
Speaker 1: to it. Maybe, like the tens of thousands of other podcasts,
Speaker 1: no one will really listen to it. But you have
Speaker 1: an option, You have an opportunity. You can say whatever
Speaker 1: the hell you want. You can be in favor of Ukraine,
Speaker 1: you can be in favor of Russia. You could actually
Speaker 1: utter support for North Korea. You could say the Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist Party has got it right. You could say Hamas
Speaker 1: is an awesome group of people. Oh that's right. That's
Speaker 1: going on in Columbia University and other campuses right now. Yay, murderers,
Speaker 1: welcome to the world of free speech. Is your voice
Speaker 1: going to influence anybody? I suppose that depends on the
Speaker 1: audience you're talking to. Does your logic and reason? Do
Speaker 1: your arguments make sense? Do they stand the test of well,
Speaker 1: perhaps discussion and debate. That depends on your message, now,
Speaker 1: doesn't It depends on your point of view. It depends
Speaker 1: on what your arguments are, and it depends on what
Speaker 1: the questions are and the oh, I don't know, degree
Speaker 1: of critical thinking skills the person that you're trying to
Speaker 1: convey a message to has, so they can well perhaps
Speaker 1: have enough knowledge of world affairs, economics, or anything else
Speaker 1: to let them pose to you in the face of
Speaker 1: your personal viewpoints, questions press you around the edges, maybe
Speaker 1: ask very difficult direct questions. So you're not going to
Speaker 1: get that out of Kamala Harris because she doesn't engage
Speaker 1: in that process. Donald Trump, meanwhile, was literally on every
Speaker 1: single podcast and social media site and even minor podcasts
Speaker 1: that a lot of folks aren't listening to answering all
Speaker 1: those tough questions and jumping into the fray not knowing
Speaker 1: what's coming his way. But knowing full well that the
Speaker 1: vast majority of time is probably going to be a
Speaker 1: pretty difficult discussion. But he's up to the challenge. That's
Speaker 1: what debate's all about. Yes, the Russians are trying to
Speaker 1: influence you. Yes, the Chinese Communist Party is trying to
Speaker 1: influence you. Yes, even Iran and North Korea, they're all
Speaker 1: out there. But apparently the United States is only concerned
Speaker 1: with Russia because they say Russia's in the bag for Trump. Now,
Speaker 1: let's just assume that from the get go, I think
Speaker 1: China's probably in favor of Kamala Harris becoming president because,
Speaker 1: let's face it, as commander in chief, she seems to
Speaker 1: be a less formidable foe than well, anyone on the
Speaker 1: other side. It doesn't matter who in this particular race,
Speaker 1: of course, it's Donald Trump. Let's assume for the sake
Speaker 1: of discussion, Russia wants Donald Trump to become president. He
Speaker 1: thinks Donald Trump is going to pull the plug on
Speaker 1: funding for you create whatever. Can they make that argument
Speaker 1: to you? Can they convince you? Does their buying off
Speaker 1: social media influencers, as some of the allegations suggest, does
Speaker 1: that help you decide whether or not it's a good
Speaker 1: thing for us to be supportive of you, Kine, or
Speaker 1: maybe sanctions or maybe a resolution of a settlement. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of folks on social media really accusing
Speaker 1: Israel of genocide. That's one argument. But then again, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of folks over there on the other side
Speaker 1: that are saying, wait a second, Israel got attacked, Their
Speaker 1: citizens were slaughtered, children and elderly people were murdered, and
Speaker 1: therefore Israel has a right to go after the murderers.
Speaker 1: There's an argument, right other people say no, Israel shouldn't
Speaker 1: even exist as a country from the river to the sea.
Speaker 1: This is called debate, and somebody's going to convince you
Speaker 1: one side or the other is right, or maybe the
Speaker 1: truth lies somewhere in the middle. But the discussion is
Speaker 1: the important part. And who's funding the discussion, whether it's
Speaker 1: the Russians, the Chinese Communist Party, or the Democrats or
Speaker 1: the Republicans, You're going to have to make up your
Speaker 1: own mind. Oddly enough, in this particular allegation in the
Speaker 1: US has accused Russia of spending millions to influence you,
Speaker 1: to influence you, apparently because the Russians are in the
Speaker 1: bag for Trump. Would it work. Does the source of
Speaker 1: the revenue for the influence campaign have any thing to
Speaker 1: do with the message that's being conveyed. George Soros has
Speaker 1: been funding countless organizations and funding countless messages for years
Speaker 1: and years. I don't recall at any given time the
Speaker 1: Justice Department going after George so and accusing him of
Speaker 1: influencing elections. Well, maybe it's because he's an American citizen.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he's an American citizen. I
Speaker 1: don't know a whole lot about George Soros. I'll be
Speaker 1: honest with you about that. I know he's got billions
Speaker 1: of dollars, and I know he's a globalist, and I
Speaker 1: know he hates the United States, at least the free market,
Speaker 1: capitalist principles that made him wealthy and made so many
Speaker 1: other people wealthy and made us the most powerful and
Speaker 1: rich nation that the world has ever witnessed. But he
Speaker 1: hates America. Are you influenced by George Soros's message? Perhaps
Speaker 1: you are. He's a big funder of a lot of
Speaker 1: left wing organizations, left wing organizations that you may support.
Speaker 1: But does his money and his funding of those messages
Speaker 1: matter ultimately, or is it the message that's being conveyed
Speaker 1: that convinced you that whatever that message was was the
Speaker 1: right choice, the right answer, the solution, the better argument
Speaker 1: versus any other message that's out there. Ultimately, you get
Speaker 1: to decide what you're going to be quote unquote influenced
Speaker 1: by and what you're not, what you're going to accept
Speaker 1: as a rational logical argument, or what you're going to
Speaker 1: reject as well, maybe something like well, that's economically stupid.
Speaker 1: Everybody else has tried that before communism and it's never worked.
Speaker 1: So no, I can't be told over and over again
Speaker 1: that this is the right way to go when I,
Speaker 1: as a student of history or an observer of realities
Speaker 1: of life, realize that, no, that's been tried time and
Speaker 1: time again and it's never worked. You can't spend yourself
Speaker 1: into prosperity. On and on and on and on and on.
Speaker 1: It's just it's comical, and the idea that we have
Speaker 1: gone after this one particular media company. They get the
Speaker 1: details later on that you know, it's just the point being,
Speaker 1: you know, we are watching the administration, the Biden administration
Speaker 1: go after this particular organization. I believe it's called Art
Speaker 1: Media or something like that. They're the ones that apparently
Speaker 1: have been conveying the Russian propaganda message, conspiring to illegally
Speaker 1: and secretly send ten million dollars to this Tennessee based
Speaker 1: online media company to inject hidden Russian government and messaging
Speaker 1: across social media to target American audiences. You are the target? Well,
Speaker 1: how dumb are you? Isn't that ultimately where this comes down?
Speaker 1: Can you be swayed by this? Are you going to
Speaker 1: listen to Alexa when you ask Alexa who you should
Speaker 1: vote for and why? Oh we learned that the other day.
Speaker 1: You ask Alexa about Donald Trump and they say, we
Speaker 1: don't give a political opinion about Donald Trump. You ask
Speaker 1: it about Kamala Harris and they wax poetic about Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons to vote for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Last time I checked. Hey, Danny Gleeson cover for Joe Strecker. Uh, Alexa,
Speaker 1: that'd be Alphabet. That's that's an American company, right right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So their their media influence, their money, their algorithms are
Speaker 1: influencing or at least endeavoring to influence the American public.
Speaker 1: Are they going after Alexa and shutting Alexa down? Or
Speaker 1: Alphabet no, no, last time I checked Alexi's Amazon thank
Speaker 1: you whatever, But you get the point right, It's just insane.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you view it differently. Seven hundred
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two three talk pound Fi fifty on
Speaker 1: at and two phones, bat crap, insanity, exercise some critical thinking, folks.
Speaker 1: You are responsible for your own future. You are responsible
Speaker 1: for breaking things down. You are responsible for applying your
Speaker 1: logic and reason and your core thinking skills to analyze
Speaker 1: whatever comes across your field division, whether it's on the
Speaker 1: Internet or in any other social media platform, or someone
Speaker 1: calls you up and engages in a political debate with you.
Speaker 1: Could be your mom. You're gonna have to work through that.
Speaker 1: And no, I bet your mom's not being paid by
Speaker 1: the Russians or the Chinese Communist Party. But I bet
Speaker 1: you's got an opinion, and I bet you might not
Speaker 1: always agree with it. You might agree with it, but
Speaker 1: it's up to you to decide how you're gonna cope
Speaker 1: with the reality of someone talking with you with an opinion,
Speaker 1: regardless of where that opinion is generated from or from
Speaker 1: whom it's funded. By five twenty three Friday, eight five
Speaker 1: and three seven fifty eight hundred and eighty two three
Speaker 1: Talk Time fifty on AT and T Funk. They're still
Speaker 1: real enter this whole thing. I just I'm sorry this
Speaker 1: this whole day. They going after the Russians and to
Speaker 1: the exclusion of the Chinese, which many are many behind
Speaker 1: the scenes are concluding the Chinese are in the bag
Speaker 1: for the Kamala Harris administration. So we go after the
Speaker 1: Russians because they apparently apparently maybe in the bag for
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, you know. And I'm I'm I and
Speaker 1: I just keep thinking to myself out there in the
Speaker 1: listening audience, there's some never Trumper people and there's some
Speaker 1: always Trumper people, And would anybody writing anything about either
Speaker 1: of those candidates make you change your mind. Everybody's battling
Speaker 1: for the hearts and minds of the uninformed or perhaps
Speaker 1: independent voters who really can't quite decide whether they want
Speaker 1: to go full on global elitist with the Harris administration
Speaker 1: or well independent United States free market kind of country
Speaker 1: principles with the Trump administration. If you haven't figured that
Speaker 1: one out by now, then you know what, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe you could be influenced by the Russians. This is
Speaker 1: great James Freeman, the Wall Street Journal. Hardest it may
Speaker 1: be to imagine concerning this topic, Consider for a moment,
Speaker 1: if left leaning journalists were to swallow the whole bogus
Speaker 1: story fed to them by anonymous sources suggesting that a
Speaker 1: Republican candidate had colluded with Russia to rig a US
Speaker 1: presidential election. Oh you remember that? Yeah? Ah, that was
Speaker 1: four years of the Trump administration. Imagine that, as part
Speaker 1: of the misinformation campaign, a left leaning FBI official was
Speaker 1: caught fabricating evidence against an associate of this Republican candidate,
Speaker 1: and that, even after conviction, the left leaning FBI criminal
Speaker 1: was not sentenced to even a single day in prison,
Speaker 1: and the story was largely ignored by left leaning journalists.
Speaker 1: What would it do to our politics if to this day,
Speaker 1: millions of voters believed the false claim that the Republican
Speaker 1: candidate had colluded with Russia, and millions of more voters
Speaker 1: remained infuriated because they knew the collusion tale was false.
Speaker 1: See that's the point I made with the always Trumpers
Speaker 1: and the never Trumpers out in the audience. See, you've
Speaker 1: been convinced, you've been lied to by our own media.
Speaker 1: It's hell we don't have the Russians to worry about.
Speaker 1: We got to own American mainstream media to worry about.
Speaker 1: Everyone is trying to sell you something, folks, whether it's
Speaker 1: a product of good or service. It's the reason that
Speaker 1: so many of these companies even are profitable. Dave had
Speaker 1: Or tells it to us every single Friday at six thirty.
Speaker 1: You and your data are the reason for their existence.
Speaker 1: And you're manipulated because they take your data and they
Speaker 1: try to sell you stuff based upon your data profile.
Speaker 1: And well, you're gull going enough to bite you click
Speaker 1: the link, You're like, oh, yeah, I guess I do
Speaker 1: need that product good service. It's twenty four seven, three
Speaker 1: sixty five from all the four corners of the globe.
Speaker 1: And yes, some of the activity is criminal. If they hack,
Speaker 1: it's criminal. If they steal from your bank account, it's criminal.
Speaker 1: But if they utter syllables and post it someplace, or
Speaker 1: they give money to some person that you consider to
Speaker 1: be I don't know, a social media influencer that for
Speaker 1: whatever reason has an influence over your life, and that
Speaker 1: person utters syllables, and the reason you buy their product,
Speaker 1: good or service, or that you embrace their message is
Speaker 1: because of who they are. Then look in the mirror.
Speaker 1: The fault lies with you, for God's sake. Fuck twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Ah just cannot believe I live.
Speaker 2: In this world.
Speaker 1: If I have Cares City Talk station, feel free to
Speaker 1: call Otherwise I'm gonna go back and just dive on
Speaker 1: into local stories. And that's fun. Five thirty three On
Speaker 1: any Friday, happy one too, you go to local stories.
Speaker 1: Lets you want to call five and three seven four
Speaker 1: nine fifty hundred two three talk. Let us see here.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Halloween display. Oh no Fairfield resident
Speaker 1: continuing your Halloween tradition, apparently resulting in some complaints, was
Speaker 1: described as the Nightmare on Beebury Street. Mary Anne Peter's
Speaker 1: responsible for this display. She says the Halloween display in
Speaker 1: her yard takes more than one hundred hours to complete
Speaker 1: and take down, so it normally begins each year in
Speaker 1: the second week of August. This year, she said it
Speaker 1: was important, that more important than ever, that she get
Speaker 1: a head start this because her husband has cancer. She said,
Speaker 1: if I was disrupting somebody or bothering people, I'm not
Speaker 1: who you could have come to me and said something
Speaker 1: like hey, why, and I would have explained to you,
Speaker 1: Why I do it so early? People don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on in other people's lives. Again lives on Deepberry
Speaker 1: Street in Fairfield. She says for seven years she's been
Speaker 1: building and changing her Halloween display, which is free for
Speaker 1: people to walk through and enjoy. Says the city contacted
Speaker 1: her to twice this year about complaints regarding the display.
Speaker 1: She said described it as breaking her heart. City of
Speaker 1: Fairfield told Peter she was not doing anything wrong and
Speaker 1: could keep her Halloween decorations up. They did suggest to her, though,
Speaker 1: she said that maybe she wait a week or two
Speaker 1: later for setup, but she said she needs more time
Speaker 1: to put it all together than she used to. Husband
Speaker 1: was diagnosed a year ago with cancer, so he can't
Speaker 1: do it much after his chemo. For a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks that she posted a Facebook about how much putting
Speaker 1: up the decorations for the community means to her, and
Speaker 1: the response more than two hundred comments in support, was overwhelming.
Speaker 1: She said it made her cry so sometimes more to
Speaker 1: the story than ever, and sometimes people, well maybe take
Speaker 1: it a little too far. You draw your own conclusions
Speaker 1: on that one too. Five thirty five fifty five care
Speaker 1: Seed Talk Station Ye five forty one, Oh No Friday,
Speaker 1: even a happy one to you. Five on three seifty
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred eight two to three Talk fifty
Speaker 1: five car se dot com for podcasting. You can't listen
Speaker 1: to live it's just right there, Judge Ennena Paulatana for example,
Speaker 1: my conversation with Hamilton Cannon prosecute them A lists of
Speaker 1: powers from yesterday and Suicide Awareness Month, Lord almighty, it's
Speaker 1: so sad. Know the American veterans commit suicide to higher
Speaker 1: rate than the general population. But any suicide can be prevented.
Speaker 1: There's help out there, and it was nice talking with
Speaker 1: Steve Ballzo and Lisa listen from the Climate County Veteran
Speaker 1: Services as well as the Hamilton County well actually the
Speaker 1: VA that's where Lisa is. She's the suicide Awareness person
Speaker 1: to VIA. So information right there. Help out those in need,
Speaker 1: and keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for
Speaker 1: the indicators that someone may be struggling with having suicidal ideation.
Speaker 1: So details right there. Fifty five cars dot Com over
Speaker 1: to the stack is stupid. We got a Long Island
Speaker 1: mother accused of killing her son in a wrong way crash,
Speaker 1: driving high on meth and phetamine. Her license suspended for
Speaker 1: the ready fifty seventh time during her arraignment yesterday, soelfol
Speaker 1: Kind of Judge Richard Horowitz ordered the suspension to carry
Speaker 1: dricks driver's license until the conclusion of the case and
Speaker 1: held the thirty two year old custody without bail after
Speaker 1: she pleaded not guilty two murder charges during her arraignment.
Speaker 1: License already suspended on August twenty second, when she drove
Speaker 1: the wrong way on the Southern State Parkway fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: after two in the morning and caused the four way
Speaker 1: car wreck to kill her nine year old son. Deputy
Speaker 1: sheriff tried to pull over Bedrick when he initially spotted
Speaker 1: her going the wrong way, but she went faster and
Speaker 1: drove around the deputy's vehicle, deputy trailer for more than
Speaker 1: five miles in a westbound lane from the safe distance
Speaker 1: as she reached one hundred miles per hour and into
Speaker 1: oncoming traffic in the eastbound lanes. She eventually crashed into
Speaker 1: the other cars, including a Mercedes SUV, head on, so
Speaker 1: severely that her engine launched into the woods a corner
Speaker 1: the District Attorney's office. Her nine year old son found
Speaker 1: unconscious in the backseat of the twenty twenty two Mitsubishi
Speaker 1: Eclipse and later died of injuries at the hospital. Authorities
Speaker 1: determined later the defendant was impaired during her road rampage
Speaker 1: found prescription bottle with a label torn off inside her
Speaker 1: car following the crash. Motorists allegedly admitted a police to
Speaker 1: taking methenfetamine about eight pm the night before the deadly collision.
Speaker 1: According to the Suffolk District Attorney's office, top of murder charges,
Speaker 1: she's facing criminal counts of aggravated vehicular homicide. Man sought
Speaker 1: another related charges, including aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Speaker 1: Her lawyer called the crash a tragic accident. No one
Speaker 1: of his planet is more upset about this than she is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I imagine because she got caught in her son's dad. Anyway,
Speaker 1: He declined comment on the allegation she was driving without
Speaker 1: a license at the time of the crash. Suspended again
Speaker 1: fifty seven times by forty five fifty five KRCIT talk station,
Speaker 1: five fifty one fifty five KRCD talk station and head
Speaker 1: go back to the stack of stupid. This one reminded
Speaker 1: me of a prank a fraternity brother played on another
Speaker 1: fraternity brother. Guy was an ultimate prankster. Attorney brother upon
Speaker 1: whom the prank was played had a shampoo bottle and
Speaker 1: the prankster substitute of the shampoo shampoo with I believe
Speaker 1: it was dishwashing detergent causing the prank. E I suppose
Speaker 1: to get like straw like hair. At one point he said,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I need some conditioner. Didn't quite
Speaker 1: figure it out until the joke was revealed. As I
Speaker 1: pivot over to the stack of stupid, we'd go to
Speaker 1: a new law signed into law by left wing idiot
Speaker 1: Governor J. B. Pritzker of Illinois, Hotels with more than
Speaker 1: fifty rooms are now banned from providing single use plastic
Speaker 1: bottles of shampoo, mouthwash, or other toiletries beginning July first,
Speaker 1: the next year. If a hotel has less than fifty rooms,
Speaker 1: the law takes effect January of twenty twenty six, whereupon
Speaker 1: hotels will be expected to transition to refillable containers or
Speaker 1: face a written warning followed by a fine of up
Speaker 1: to fifteen hundred dollars. Some of the laws already enacted
Speaker 1: to Washington, New York, and California. All right, it's also
Speaker 1: pointed out in the article unrelated to the bad really
Speaker 1: focusing on the really all important items in Illinois. Illinois
Speaker 1: has more than one hundred and forty two billion dollars
Speaker 1: in pension debt, the nation's second worst unemployment rate, the
Speaker 1: second highest corporate income tax rate, the second highest property
Speaker 1: tax rate, and the fourth highest in state tuition for
Speaker 1: public universities. So those are the major problems. But no
Speaker 1: longer will you get small bottles of shampoo. Just trust
Speaker 1: the people who were in the room in front of
Speaker 1: you that they didn't tamper with or otherwise contaminate in
Speaker 1: some weird, potentially deviant way the refillable bottle of shampoo
Speaker 1: or other items, right, Danny. Danny's like, yeah, uh huh,
Speaker 1: you gonna use the mouthwash from a refillable bottle? Danny? Yeah, no, No,
Speaker 1: that's right, you won't, will you. I'm having a real
Speaker 1: weird day this morning. Well, since it is iHeart media
Speaker 1: aviation expert Jay Ratlift day, let's go to a Delta
Speaker 1: Delta flight. Actually the second time this has happened in
Speaker 1: the last several weeks. Flighting Friday Night's Delta flight one
Speaker 1: twelve to Boston for a rather Boston to Rome. Had
Speaker 1: to turn back over the Atlantic two hours after the departure,
Speaker 1: diverting to New York City when a passenger reportedly had
Speaker 1: what is described in quotes as severe bouts of diarrhea
Speaker 1: all over their seat. Airbus A three deemed to be
Speaker 1: a medical issue. Biohazards have been common theme recently, giving
Speaker 1: adulta given delta, getting passengers stick from moldy chicken and
Speaker 1: severe diarrhea flights, and this has happened recently. So chalk
Speaker 1: one out, another one out, and finally we have a
Speaker 1: woman facing charge in connection with a multiple vehicle crash
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's I ninety five left two people dead. This happened
Speaker 1: in March. Police alleged that this woman is under the
Speaker 1: influence of alcohol in the vehicle and hands free driving
Speaker 1: mode was in use at the time of the crash.
Speaker 1: Dimple is her first name. Dimple Patel, twenty three year
Speaker 1: old pre med student from Philly, charged August twenty eighth
Speaker 1: with DUI, tampering with evidence, reckless driving, homicide by vehicle,
Speaker 1: and related charges surrender to state police this week. Crash
Speaker 1: app in a quarter after three in the morning on
Speaker 1: March third. Read Prius disabled on the left shoulder corner
Speaker 1: to the police sitting slightly in the left lane, gray
Speaker 1: Hundi a Lantra directly behind the Prius. The authorities investigators
Speaker 1: believe the Hyundai driver identified his Tolabach. Esenbakov was assisting
Speaker 1: the pretest driver, a woman's name Akla Tech. Back to Bekhov,
Speaker 1: there's a mouthful, please say that. She was standing on
Speaker 1: the roadway near the front of the Elantra and Esenbakov
Speaker 1: was getting out of the car when the crash occurred.
Speaker 1: That's when Patel, who was driving a twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: yellow Ford Mustang Maki, allegedly struck the back of the Hyundai.
Speaker 1: She was going seventy one to seventy two miles per hour,
Speaker 1: was using the Blue Cruise hands free driving feature and
Speaker 1: adapted cruise control systems caused a four car crash with
Speaker 1: this back to Bikov and Esenbikov folks being struck. Both
Speaker 1: of them later died from their injuries. Pennsylvania State Police
Speaker 1: and the statements of the drivers using advanced technology should
Speaker 1: be prepared to resume control at all times. Quote no
Speaker 1: partially automated vehicle technology should ever be left alone to
Speaker 1: perform the driving tasks that are required to safely navigate
Speaker 1: the roads of the Commonwealth. Close quote Forge Blue Cruise
Speaker 1: system allows drivers to take their hands off the steering
Speaker 1: wheel while it handles steering, breaking, and acceleration on the highways.
Speaker 1: They say its system isn't fully autonomous, and it does
Speaker 1: monitor drivers to make sure they pay attention on the
Speaker 1: road unless you are well impaired. I guess that's her defense.
Speaker 1: Five fifty seven five kars De Talk Station plenty to
Speaker 1: talk about in the six o'clock hour. Your calls are
Speaker 1: quite welcome. He'll fulfill, ring me up. I'll be right
Speaker 1: back to so five the five karros De Talks Ation.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here, glad to be. Got Danny Gleeson
Speaker 1: in there covering for Joseph Strecker, the vacationing Jusstrekker. Get
Speaker 1: any word from Joe Danny Internet from him? No, No,
Speaker 1: he hasn't contacted me either, And I'm hoping that like
Speaker 1: I would be doing right now if I was on vacation.
Speaker 1: He is dutifully sta at the back of his eyelids
Speaker 1: at ignoring the phone exactly ahead and try to call him.
Speaker 1: Can only imagine what kind of reaction you would get
Speaker 1: if you called him up. Danny. Anyway, you can feel
Speaker 1: free to call me if there's something you like to
Speaker 1: talk about. I'm still reeling over this going after the
Speaker 1: Russians in their effort to influence the twenty twenty four elections.
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three, Taco Time Fight fifty
Speaker 1: on eight and t phones. You have Carosey dot com
Speaker 1: and you can't listen live. You want to hear it again?
Speaker 1: You want to refer a podcast to your friends. I
Speaker 1: had the Smith event on a late Smith event on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: That was cool, and I also want to quick again
Speaker 1: thank everybody he made it to weed them and brew
Speaker 1: House yesterday fun time. I really enjoyed it and don't
Speaker 1: hold them responsible. A little slow, but their Wi Fi
Speaker 1: system went down. They had plenty of staff there. The
Speaker 1: only problem is it was took a little bit longer
Speaker 1: to get lunch because they had to manually walk back
Speaker 1: every order to the kitchen, which is normally a Wi
Speaker 1: Fi connected thing. So they were very frustrated with their
Speaker 1: Wi Fi system. But they were very happy we were there,
Speaker 1: and they apologized to me for you know, for taking
Speaker 1: a long time. But word did not get around, so
Speaker 1: I heard some people grumbling and I had to explain
Speaker 1: it to him. So don't hold them responsible. Wi Fi
Speaker 1: system down. It's a tech issue, much like well the
Speaker 1: thirty two web domains that the Biden administration has taken down.
Speaker 1: Why well, because the Justice Department claimed it sees them
Speaker 1: because of its covert campaigns working with the Russians failure
Speaker 1: to register under the Foreign Agents Registrations Act Pharaoh, which
Speaker 1: immediately brought to mind Hunter Biden, who was literally working
Speaker 1: for foreign entities while peddling his wares globally.
Speaker 3: I e.
Speaker 1: The connection with his dad. Don't don't look over there though.
Speaker 1: Don't pay any attention to that. Don't pay any attention
Speaker 1: to Alexa telling you how awesome Kamala Harris is. When
Speaker 1: you ask whether or not you should vote or while
Speaker 1: they tell you that they stay politically neutral. When you
Speaker 1: ask the same question about Donald Trump, no no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, that's an American company. I guess they're allowed
Speaker 1: to do that. But if it's Russians doing it, ooh,
Speaker 1: we got to be fearful and how malleable are you?
Speaker 1: This is where I ultimately land on this. How malleable
Speaker 1: are you? Action targeted two employees of RT formerly known
Speaker 1: as Russian Today Russian state media outlet with content available
Speaker 1: in English. Oh my god, it's the Internet. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can access sites like that. They charge this pair of
Speaker 1: Russians with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, say collectively,
Speaker 1: the two actions are some of the strongest moves ever
Speaker 1: taken under the Biden White House to confront accelerating efforts
Speaker 1: by the Russian government. The intelligence community has deemed quote
Speaker 1: the predominant threat to US selections close quote the Russian
Speaker 1: government really huh oh. And these are members of the
Speaker 1: intelligence community, the same folks that brought you the letters
Speaker 1: signed by fifty one current and former members of the
Speaker 1: intelligence community which told you Hunter Biden's laptop looked like ah,
Speaker 1: Russian propaganda. He and you know, do you really believe
Speaker 1: the Russians are the primary threat to the United States elections?
Speaker 1: They called this program or this I guess investigation dappelganger.
Speaker 1: They say the Russian effort employed a mix of creating
Speaker 1: sites with slightly different web addresses, mimicking US news outlets,
Speaker 1: one apparently appeared to look like the Washington Post, and
Speaker 1: they were filled with pro Russian narratives. Okay, Director Ray,
Speaker 1: when we learn that adversaries overseas or trying to hide
Speaker 1: who they are and where their propaganda is coming from
Speaker 1: as part of campaigns to deliberately sow discord, we're going
Speaker 1: to continue to do everything we can to expose their
Speaker 1: hidden hand and disrupt their efforts. Well, does that mean
Speaker 1: if they registered under Pharaoh that they would be free
Speaker 1: to speak in our country and they have the right
Speaker 1: to do that. Would it change your mind when you
Speaker 1: read a message if you knew that that message was
Speaker 1: brought to you by an entity funded by the Russians.
Speaker 1: But they were making an argument on that website that
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine was a pointless, stupid gesture, that
Speaker 1: there should be a peace resolution or not, that they
Speaker 1: were advocating for further invasions into the country or not.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you draw your own conclusions? I mean, it's a message,
Speaker 1: is a message, they're merely words, and that it's funded
Speaker 1: by the Russians, you obviously would know it would have
Speaker 1: a pro Russia bent. But anything that suggests something that
Speaker 1: benefits the Russian is obviously a pro Russian bent, and
Speaker 1: you may agree with it regardless of where that message
Speaker 1: come from. Oh maybe, like one of our elected officials
Speaker 1: in Washington. There are some that are pro Russia and
Speaker 1: want this war to rage, and there are others who
Speaker 1: are pro peace. Flip it over. Take the Russians out
Speaker 1: of the equation. Let's talk about the Palestinians, Hamas you know,
Speaker 1: and all the other terrorist organizations. Let's talk about genocide
Speaker 1: in Gaza. You know, Israel doesn't look at that situation
Speaker 1: as genocide. They look at it as defending their own borders.
Speaker 1: That's a message from the Israeli government. On the other
Speaker 1: side of the equation, you have message from Hamas terrorists
Speaker 1: who say, no, no, no, oh, oh my god, you're
Speaker 1: just killing Palestinians, this is genocide. Which message are you
Speaker 1: going to buy? Does it matter which side of the
Speaker 1: of the which side is being funded by the messaging.
Speaker 1: Ultimately you're gonna have to cane which side you're on
Speaker 1: on any given issue, Attorney General Merrick Garland said earlier
Speaker 1: this week. President Vladimir Putin's inner circle directed the influence
Speaker 1: campaign with a broader goal of drumming up support for
Speaker 1: Russia's invasion of Ukraine and securing Russia's preferred outcome in
Speaker 1: the election. And ah, they reference the election multiple times
Speaker 1: in the report, never specifically identifying Donald Trump as Russia's
Speaker 1: preferred candidate, but it pretty much is clear he is
Speaker 1: Russia's preferred candidate. He's less of an interventionist than the
Speaker 1: Biden administration or the Harris administration would be. Apparently, the
Speaker 1: American people are entitled to know when a foreign power
Speaker 1: is attempting to exploit our country's free exchange of ideas
Speaker 1: in order to send around its own propaganda. Merrick Garland
Speaker 1: said in a statement, our countries exchange of ideas? Does
Speaker 1: anybody remember politicians and other noted notables within the American
Speaker 1: government worried about quote unquote disinformation members of our various
Speaker 1: lettered agencies sitting inside the offices of Twitter and telling
Speaker 1: them what you and I can and cannot consume by
Speaker 1: way of content. Facebook same thing, suppressing messages. Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: came out the other day and said, yeah, they came
Speaker 1: in and told me not to suppress all kinds of
Speaker 1: comments about COVID nineteen. We felt pressure by oh, the
Speaker 1: United States government to deny you the opportunity to spread
Speaker 1: a message about COVID.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 1: Obviously this is a question of whose ox is being gored,
Speaker 1: and more importantly, which message is being elevated. This whole
Speaker 1: thing is just as comical as can be for me.
Speaker 1: Let's see who got online first, Steve. Let's start with Steve.
Speaker 1: He's been online longer, Denesh, hang on, brother, we'll get
Speaker 1: to you second. Steve, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Morning Show.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, A couple of comments. First of all, not
Speaker 5: related to what I called about, but we've been on
Speaker 5: some long international flights. Two hours into a flight from
Speaker 5: Boston to Rome that had to turn that around, that
Speaker 5: had to be so absolutely horrific. And man, you're talking
Speaker 5: about get up five minutes before it happens and go
Speaker 5: to the lavatory and just camp out in there for
Speaker 5: an hour and then maybe they could have made the flight.
Speaker 5: But it's you know, it's it's so to a degree. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the person was not feeling well. I feel sorry for them,
Speaker 5: but do something.
Speaker 1: You know, you think there would be an easier solution
Speaker 1: than an airplane around. You're right up, you know the.
Speaker 5: Person waited long. I mean, you know, you're an adult.
Speaker 5: I'm assuming it wasn't a three year old child, but
Speaker 5: you know, you're an adult. You've got to get up
Speaker 5: and you know whatever.
Speaker 1: But what, Yeah, I have heard that the medical the
Speaker 1: medical term explosive diarrhea has come up in the context
Speaker 1: of using certain pharmaceuticals. In other words, it's as if
Speaker 1: you don't have enough time to do what you and
Speaker 1: I would consider normal, which is hmm, I I feel
Speaker 1: it coming on. I'm heading to the laboratory now before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thinking it doesn't just like snap your you know,
Speaker 5: snapping your fingers, doesn't just come from out of nowhere.
Speaker 5: You're you're already not feeling well. But what let's get
Speaker 5: away from That's okay, But that had to be so horrible.
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't imagine, No, I can't. But a
Speaker 5: couple of things. Election interference different uh countries interfering in elections. Yeah, no,
Speaker 5: we never do it. I wish the the elected leaders
Speaker 5: in this country would look in the mirror when they
Speaker 5: say thing things like that, because Barack Obama when and
Speaker 5: we do it all the time, but when he was
Speaker 5: president openly was opposing Benjamin Nett and Yahoo being elect
Speaker 5: or being re elected Prime Minister of Israel openly and
Speaker 5: the phoniness that you know, a foreign entity would interfere
Speaker 5: in an election of the United States. You know, we
Speaker 5: need to look in the mirror sometimes because as we're
Speaker 5: as guilty, I mean we we do. We think we're
Speaker 5: allowed to do it because we're the good guys. But
Speaker 5: the main reason I called yesterday, I'm driving around all
Speaker 5: day and I'm listening to fifty five k r C,
Speaker 5: thank you very much, and every half hour on the
Speaker 5: news update. And I know it's a liberal outlet or
Speaker 5: whatever you've mentioned it.
Speaker 6: Before, the.
Speaker 5: Option, I know, and whatever whatever's being paid for it.
Speaker 5: It's too expensive. You're you're over pay I don't care
Speaker 5: how cheapitness, but it is good for a smile. But
Speaker 5: I had to listen, and this has been debunked, probably
Speaker 5: from four or five days ago. I had to listen
Speaker 5: to John McCain's son ripping Donald Trump for the disgrace
Speaker 5: at Arlington National Cemetery. Nothing happened, the gold Star Families
Speaker 5: invited him, he was very dignified, and they're just talking
Speaker 5: about how how people pushed an attendant and they were
Speaker 5: causing problems and all that's been debunked already, and this
Speaker 5: supposed news outlet had a debunked story from days prior,
Speaker 5: and they all they wanted to do was rip Trump.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, maybe what do we learn from that?
Speaker 1: It obviously wasn't the Russians because it was an anti
Speaker 1: Trump story, So maybe the Chacoms paid off NBC.
Speaker 7: You know, yeah, yeah, wait for it.
Speaker 5: It was frustrating Mary.
Speaker 1: Garland to go after the Chai cooms for buying off
Speaker 1: you know, NBC or something like that. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the joke about the whole thing. See, you pay attention
Speaker 1: to what's going on in the news. You've read about
Speaker 1: and you heard about the stories, and you know it's
Speaker 1: been debunked. You have heard and read what was widely
Speaker 1: reported about the gold Star families. They specifically invited him.
Speaker 1: They welcomed him, they embraced him. He gave them comfort
Speaker 1: and solace. He was all positives from the actual people
Speaker 1: who lost family members, sons, daughters, friends, whatever in that
Speaker 1: terrible withdrawal from Afghanistan. They were the ones responsible for
Speaker 1: inviting them. They're the ones that were happy that he
Speaker 1: was there. They're the ones that wanted the photo op
Speaker 1: with him. It was all them, So you know that,
Speaker 1: and you also know when you hear lies from the
Speaker 1: mainstream media now, whether there was a Russia connection, a
Speaker 1: Chicom connection, Iranian connection, North Korean connection, whether they are
Speaker 1: just simply anti Trump biased in their news reporting. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the reality of the world. You got to be
Speaker 1: clear of thought, and you have to pay attention to
Speaker 1: what's around you or you might be swayed by bias,
Speaker 1: whether it comes out of a politician's mouth, a news reporter,
Speaker 1: talking head, your next door neighbor. Everyone's got an opinion,
Speaker 1: everyone's formulates thoughts, and it's incumbent upon you to separate
Speaker 1: the weef from the chaff. That's why I find this
Speaker 1: whole thing with the with the Russians and this disinformation
Speaker 1: just high comedy. We know our own government was messing
Speaker 1: with American corporate media outlets in terms of suppressing information.
Speaker 1: Information that many of us have now found out was, well,
Speaker 1: we were right all along six nineteen tonsh you are next, TI.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I went long, but I had to get
Speaker 1: that out of my system. I feel like going that
Speaker 1: all morning six twenty four. I went three seven fifty
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk found five fifty on
Speaker 1: eighteen t phone heads straight to the phone, Denash, thanks
Speaker 1: for holding over the break there. Welcome back, my friend.
Speaker 7: Hi, good morning, Brian. I just wanted to give you
Speaker 7: an update on our calls on mRNA COVID injections. One
Speaker 7: of the questions people ask me when I'm presenting information
Speaker 7: to them or the groups the how come everyone is
Speaker 7: not experiencing the same adverse effects as even told, two
Speaker 7: hundred and seventy million Americans, according to CDC have been
Speaker 7: injected with this injection. So I couldn't answer that years ago,
Speaker 7: but finally we got the answer. Any of the government
Speaker 7: agencies HSS, NIH and IAD, FDA, CDC don't give you
Speaker 7: detailed information if they have quality control of what has
Speaker 7: been injected in a patient. But the independent scientists and
Speaker 7: doctors have been reporting that they can't even tell from
Speaker 7: time to time from the same manufacturer what exactly is
Speaker 7: in those bales. And they found out that even within
Speaker 7: the batch itself they find variants. And now there are
Speaker 7: court orders or rather suits from countries claiming that they
Speaker 7: were shipped millions of fils that did not even have
Speaker 7: mRNA in them. So what happened is a group of
Speaker 7: very highly qualified cyber data trackers decided to look into
Speaker 7: it that if this is an experiment being done by
Speaker 7: the government and the Defense Department and the Chinese and
Speaker 7: there must be some communications going on, and lord behold,
Speaker 7: they found it. It's called how Bad is My Batch?
Speaker 7: So they made a website available that if you have
Speaker 7: your batch number, at least you have a chance to
Speaker 7: look up on this website on the Internet. That it's free.
Speaker 7: They're asking for donations, of course, to cover their costs,
Speaker 7: but the person can at least get some information to
Speaker 7: what a group of people who got the shot of
Speaker 7: that particular batch can are reporting what their adverts effects are.
Speaker 7: So it's amazing that we have proof, like you're your
Speaker 7: collar before that the government really doesn't give you through
Speaker 7: accurate information. It's very politicized. They're covering it up. So
Speaker 7: it was really a breakthrough that I can share with
Speaker 7: anybody and I'm looking at myself how bad is my Batch?
Speaker 7: On the Internet, and they can research it to at
Speaker 7: least it evidently shows that there were multiple, multiple varieties
Speaker 7: of MR and A have injections that were shipped and
Speaker 7: sold and all the issues that they're claiming that to
Speaker 7: do they was safe and effective really goes out of
Speaker 7: the window.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, as I can only comment, since you're you're
Speaker 1: you're introducing the concept of you know, how bad is
Speaker 1: my batch for the first time to me? But safe
Speaker 1: and effective? I think we all are painfully aware of
Speaker 1: some of the downside and the wrists that have shown
Speaker 1: up after we collectively engaged in the largest trial of
Speaker 1: an untested vaccine in the world's history. But effective, it
Speaker 1: never was effective. They promised it would prevent you from
Speaker 1: getting the disease. It didn't, right, and you had to
Speaker 1: get multiple doses and it still didn't. I mean, look
Speaker 1: at Fauci. Fauci got COVID nineteen I think more like
Speaker 1: nine times or something like that. You know, Fauci has
Speaker 1: been injected six or seven times or whatever. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we know it's not effective. So uh, now we got
Speaker 1: to worry about whether or not we got a bad
Speaker 1: batch or maybe what was in the batch. Yeah, well, someday, Denesh,
Speaker 1: we may learn the truth. It's coming out. It takes
Speaker 1: a while, it's slow, it trickles out. But as we
Speaker 1: found out, like for example, was Zuckerberd's admission that they
Speaker 1: information about COVID nineteen was suppressed on Facebook, information that
Speaker 1: you and I both know was actually true at the time.
Speaker 1: We tried to utter it, yet our message wasn't able
Speaker 1: to get out because you know, our lords and masters
Speaker 1: had a different message they wanted to convey. SI Pot
Speaker 1: thirty two if you about karc de talk station, Happy Friday,
Speaker 1: EID and two three talk information, disinformation and spending this
Speaker 1: morning just laughing at the idea that we are shocked, shocked,
Speaker 1: my god, that the Russians are trying to influence us,
Speaker 1: or anybody else is trying to influence us. D Nash
Speaker 1: calls up. He's got a website. He brings up the
Speaker 1: point made by the site. You know, these different vaccines
Speaker 1: out there, the different batches, maybe they are different types
Speaker 1: of vaccines, and you search for that, and then look
Speaker 1: the Daily Beast, the shady site that shows anti vaxxers
Speaker 1: will believe anything other side of the coin. I don't
Speaker 1: know who's behind this particular site. I think the Daily
Speaker 1: Beast is typically a leftlock and excite anyway. But see
Speaker 1: here's one who tries that this this article debunks what
Speaker 1: Deness is telling you. Who's right exactly? Local stories U
Speaker 1: rest wore has been issued for a second person in
Speaker 1: connection with the investigation in the discovery a woman's body
Speaker 1: in a Middletown trash can. Happened earlier this summer. Forty
Speaker 1: five year old Brandon Davis is now wanted for complicity
Speaker 1: to aggravate and murder. According to the Middletown Police, Davis
Speaker 1: Warren Stem's from the investigation of the thirty five year
Speaker 1: old Asia Sloan. Investigations already led to the indict move
Speaker 1: another man, Perry Hart, fifty nine, under a six count
Speaker 1: indictment on two counts each of aggravated murder and having
Speaker 1: weapons on a disability in a single kind of murder
Speaker 1: and kidnapping, told Middletown Police in an interview last month
Speaker 1: he shot Sloane once in the head. She was reported
Speaker 1: missing in June. Her remains found in July first in
Speaker 1: a trash can on Centennial Street near Yankee Road. According
Speaker 1: to his indictment, heart quote did purposely or purposely and
Speaker 1: with prior calculation and design, cause the death of Aci Sloan.
Speaker 1: If convicted on the murder charge alone, he faces the
Speaker 1: possibility of up to three life sentences in prison, though
Speaker 1: often these charges merge at the discretion of the judge.
Speaker 1: Middle Temp police arrested Heart last month week after Sloan's
Speaker 1: remains were found. They took him into custody on two
Speaker 1: gun charges after spotting him walking in the same area
Speaker 1: with weapons in his backpack. He is prohibited from having
Speaker 1: weapons did a previous felony arrest. Apparently he doesn't care
Speaker 1: about the law. Detective interviewed him to find out what
Speaker 1: he saw, and he was named as present when this
Speaker 1: woman was allegedly killed. Arts bond set at twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on the gun charges, since he was already
Speaker 1: in general weapons charges. Butler County Prosecutor Mike Moses said
Speaker 1: he wanted to wait until they had the positive DNA
Speaker 1: to match before filing the aggravated murder charge against him. However,
Speaker 1: did or badly decomposed remains, which were left out four
Speaker 1: weeks in the heat of the summer, High Bureau of
Speaker 1: Criminal Investing gation not able to quickly positively identify her.
Speaker 1: Then August thirteenth, someone posted Hart's bond and he was
Speaker 1: released in the Butler County jail. Prosecutors found out early
Speaker 1: nearly a week later that on August nineteen. So then
Speaker 1: Moser gave Middle Temp police at greenlight to arrest him
Speaker 1: on the murder charge despite having no positive DNA match.
Speaker 1: There you got a local story anyway. Six thirty five.
Speaker 1: Feel free to call Love to hear from you if
Speaker 1: you've got a comment. Six forty year, if you got
Speaker 1: KERC Detalk station, Ryan Thomas, Fish Union, very happy Friday
Speaker 1: Eve fighting you stick around. Donovan and Neil. Americans for
Speaker 1: Prosperity coming up at seven thirty, changing gears a little
Speaker 1: bit away from election in their work. For for example,
Speaker 1: Bernie Marino to the cease and desist order Attorney General
Speaker 1: Yost sent to the Columbus public schools. So we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about that. Well, that'll take place at seven thirty.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Aaron McIntyre with the book The Total State,
Speaker 1: How liberal democracies become Tyrannies. That'll BEDIGHTO five and of
Speaker 1: course I Heeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe at eight
Speaker 1: thirty five one three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound FI fifty
Speaker 1: on at and T found just been having a real
Speaker 1: field day with this nonsense about you know us, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, the Russians are trying to influence our election.
Speaker 1: Is that there's something, you know, truly revealing. And I
Speaker 1: think the only reason that they're going to happen than
Speaker 1: Russian is because the Russians are more in the bag
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump than Kamala Harris. So you know, shift
Speaker 1: your attention over to the Iranians, for example, who would
Speaker 1: much rather deal with Kamala Harris or the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 1: But the Russians sense a more well a more favorable
Speaker 1: opinion about their the Ukraine invasion and the likelihood that'll
Speaker 1: get resolved in Russia's favor with the Trump administration. In
Speaker 1: the final analysis, literally, everyone who has a voice is
Speaker 1: trying to influence you. And that's the kind of the
Speaker 1: takeaway I get out of this. Everyone our politicians are
Speaker 1: influenced by messages. Some politicians are in favor of a
Speaker 1: resolution of the Ukraine Russian situation allowing Russia to take
Speaker 1: some of the land. Some don't care if Russia invades
Speaker 1: and takes over the entire country. Others think we're getting
Speaker 1: into World War three and that the Russians have designs
Speaker 1: on NATO entirely. And this is going to devolve into
Speaker 1: a global conflict. There are opinions across the spectrum. Some
Speaker 1: are well embraced by foreign powers, others embraced by people
Speaker 1: that we've elected in a higher office. Yo, welcome to
Speaker 1: the world we live in. Unrelated to anything along those lines,
Speaker 1: I don't know whether to feel sorry for or just
Speaker 1: really to just have a tremendous amount of disdain for her,
Speaker 1: or to have a tremendous amount of disdain for her
Speaker 1: but also feel sorry for her at the same time,
Speaker 1: poor little known Greta Thunberg. Danny Gleeson covered for Joe.
Speaker 1: Does she have a gnome like quality when you look
Speaker 1: at Greta Thunberg? Is that an accurate description from your perspective?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 1: Okay? Thank you? That's the first word that came to
Speaker 1: mind when I saw photographs over because she got arrested again,
Speaker 1: this time not for protesting against global warming or climate
Speaker 1: change or whatever you want to call it. This week
Speaker 1: she was protesting against the Israelis Students against the Occupation,
Speaker 1: anti Israeli activist group.
Speaker 7: Is It.
Speaker 1: Thunberg, notably famous for her climate activism, apparently has also
Speaker 1: been participating in a whole bunch of these anti Israeli
Speaker 1: protests started to remind me of sort of the Vietnam era,
Speaker 1: where all the well back then we were going to
Speaker 1: all freeze the death. The next Ice Age was coming
Speaker 1: about as a consequence of man made activity. The green folks,
Speaker 1: the environmentalists that was so popular in the late sixties,
Speaker 1: joining forces with the anti Vietnam folks and the communists
Speaker 1: and everybody else to protests in the streets, and of
Speaker 1: course most notably the Democratic Convention. So they're everywhere. But
Speaker 1: the funny thing is this student group was demanding the
Speaker 1: Copenhagen University and all of its partnerships and collaborations with
Speaker 1: Israeli universities. In the course of the reporting Fox News
Speaker 1: Andrews Hagstrom, thank you angers, the group highlighted the Erasthemus
Speaker 1: student exchange program that Copenhagen University participates in, which allows
Speaker 1: Israeli students to study in Denmark. Oh my god. The
Speaker 1: group also condemned the Nails Bore Institute, the university's physics department,
Speaker 1: named after the world famous physicist or happened to have
Speaker 1: been Jewish, So of course we're going to condemn a
Speaker 1: physics department simply because it was named after apparently world
Speaker 1: famous missed physicists who worked in the field of physics
Speaker 1: and apparently contributed tremendously to the world's knowledge in the
Speaker 1: area of physics, so much so that they named a
Speaker 1: blank in physics department after him. No, we can't have that,
Speaker 1: why because he was Jewish. How unbelievably horrifically racist and
Speaker 1: anti semitic is that, It's also pointed out. Critics of
Speaker 1: Thundberg argued her appearance at the protest was hypocritical because
Speaker 1: apparently one of the programs at Copenhagen University, which is
Speaker 1: the one that they were targeting in this protest, has
Speaker 1: been partnering with Israeli groups to solve climate change. But
Speaker 1: it's because Jews are trying to solve climate change at
Speaker 1: Greta Thunberg's saying no, hell no, and we'll get arrested
Speaker 1: and was arrested as a consequence of breaking into and
Speaker 1: taking over a building students. She had actually wrote this
Speaker 1: on her Instagram account, Students against the occupation. I are
Speaker 1: at the University of Copenhagen's administration building. Police have been
Speaker 1: called violently entered the building with a ram wearing assault rifles.
Speaker 1: They're evicting everyone as we speak. Students have been arrested
Speaker 1: and are being taken to the station at this very moment. Well,
Speaker 1: it's called trespassing, you little gnome. You were not lawfully
Speaker 1: in the building six forty six, in spite of the
Speaker 1: fact the reason you were in the building was absolutely
Speaker 1: one hundred percent profoundly anti Semitic. The shy I five
Speaker 1: fifty twof thing about Fara City Talk Station. We'll have
Speaker 1: time to talk off top of the Ernames' got Americans
Speaker 1: for Prosperity joining X seven thirty. The meantime, let's talk
Speaker 1: to Bill. Bill's called in from Florida. Bill. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the program. Thanks for calling in this morning.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I always listened to you when I was
Speaker 3: up there before I moved away. It's one quick operation,
Speaker 3: kind of funny thing when you move away from the
Speaker 3: cinth of that area or migrate away from there. The
Speaker 3: retailer that I worked for up there deliterally a ton
Speaker 3: of getta every day, And if you mentioned heck to
Speaker 3: somebody else somewhere else, then look at your cross one
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 9: I know, I know you know.
Speaker 1: It's funny because when I practiced law in Chicago. I
Speaker 1: brought some of my fellow lawyers who were Chicago natives
Speaker 1: back with me a couple of trips. They came down
Speaker 1: to visit. We played golf and went out and you
Speaker 1: did the guy thing. And I introduced them to Ghetta
Speaker 1: and he was like, what's Getta? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: You never had Getta before? You fry some move and
Speaker 1: they tried like, oh, this is pretty good stuff. Like
Speaker 1: I know only people in Cincinnati are familiar with it,
Speaker 1: but that's hilarious. Oh real quick, since you called from Floridaville,
Speaker 1: I just have to mention this. I was at listener
Speaker 1: lunch yesterday and one of the couples there who I've
Speaker 1: seen at listener to lunch a bunch of times, they said,
Speaker 1: we listened to you when we were in Iceland. And
Speaker 1: I thought, that's a record for the morning show. You
Speaker 1: listened from Iceland, so I looked it up. Actually the
Speaker 1: record is Maureen who listens and live to the program
Speaker 1: while she was in Hawaii. Hawaii is forty three hundred
Speaker 1: miles away from here. Iceland is thirty one hundred miles
Speaker 1: away from here. But I still consider Iceland to be
Speaker 1: some form of record in terms of international listening anyway.
Speaker 1: So go ahead, Bill, what's your point today?
Speaker 3: So, no matter what negative things or dangerous things we
Speaker 3: find out about Carmela Harris or her socialist communists pick
Speaker 3: for president, no matter what we find out about that,
Speaker 3: there's forty eighty eight percent of the voters are going
Speaker 3: to walk in and vote Democrat no matter what. Yep,
Speaker 3: mindlessly low information voters.
Speaker 1: You are right, Bill, which is one of the reasons
Speaker 1: why I find this whole going after Russia and shutting
Speaker 1: down russia disinformation sites, I find so comical. You get
Speaker 1: the disinformation literally from anyone with a mouth, because everyone
Speaker 1: with a mouth has an opinion, and everyone has access
Speaker 1: to the Internet, and some people with mouths and of
Speaker 1: being social media the influencers for reasons I don't get
Speaker 1: or understand. But according to the Justice Department of the
Speaker 1: announcement shutting down these Russian sites, the Russians paid social
Speaker 1: media influencers, and the only crime apparently they committed is
Speaker 1: because they didn't identify themselves as Russians foreign the Pharaoh registration.
Speaker 1: So if they said, Hi, I'm with the Russian government,
Speaker 1: I have a check for fifteen thousand dollars if you
Speaker 1: would please pass along the message about why you think
Speaker 1: Russia is aoka in intruding and invading Ukraine, then they'll
Speaker 1: pay you. But if you don't tell them you're from Russia,
Speaker 1: apparently it's a crime. Regardless, someone out here in the
Speaker 1: world is going to listen to the message and either
Speaker 1: be swayed by it or not. Are you going to
Speaker 1: be swayed by it? I had a conversation yesterday lunch,
Speaker 1: speaking of lunch with a kid mentioned about that forty
Speaker 1: eight percent. That's the exact figure I used, wondering about
Speaker 1: how if Kamala Harris can actually win in spite of
Speaker 1: where she stands on various issues which we really aren't
Speaker 1: quite sure yet. I said, of course. And he's like, well,
Speaker 1: I said, because she's not Donald Trump. They've been beating
Speaker 1: up on Donald Trump now NonStop for the last how long?
Speaker 1: Since what twenty fifteen? This message paid for by foreign
Speaker 1: powers as well as domestic powers, funded by George Soros
Speaker 1: and the likes of Zuckerberg and other wealthy people and
Speaker 1: other organizations. They have a message they are trying to
Speaker 1: sway people, and the one message that they have been
Speaker 1: uniform on, at least on that side of the political ledger,
Speaker 1: is that Trump is evil orange man, filling the blanks
Speaker 1: with all the adjectives they always used to associate with Trump,
Speaker 1: all of them pejorative chapter chapter Trump to top to
Speaker 1: topter Trump. You know, anybody who's not Trump is going
Speaker 1: to get a vote if you are on the left
Speaker 1: hand side of the ledger period in the story, notwithstanding
Speaker 1: the fact that you're voting for someone who is absolutely
Speaker 1: going to undermine your personal best interests, whether it's racking
Speaker 1: up the national debt, giving away free stuff, and think
Speaker 1: further exacerbating our financial realities and problems that we have
Speaker 1: going on in this world right now. Give the problems
Speaker 1: to the government. They're going to solve them. How well
Speaker 1: has that worked out for you? City of Cincinnati is
Speaker 1: forty years behind and keeping its roads and infrastructure up
Speaker 1: to speed. You keep voting for him, yet your street
Speaker 1: fred hasn't been fixed yet. Why Because they're not Republicans,
Speaker 1: they're Democrats, and therefore we've got to vote for them.
Speaker 1: How does that make any sense? Well to the clear thinking, rational, logical,
Speaker 1: reasonable person who pays attention to the issues, that person
Speaker 1: realizes that government is not the solution, and most of
Speaker 1: the things that government has handed over or been given
Speaker 1: the responsibility for hasn't worked out so well. Five fifty six,

Speaker 1: thank you for holding over the break and welcome to
Speaker 1: the Morning show.
Speaker 4: Thank you good to talk to you. My smart device
Speaker 4: is in Anthon's, Alabama, the Free State.
Speaker 1: Ah from Alabama. I love this. Yeah, this is awesome.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, you have no idea I know
Speaker 1: modern technology. I shouldn't be amazed that you know the Internet.
Speaker 1: And as I've been talking about all morning, yeah, the
Speaker 1: Russians have access to the Internet too. Da they have
Speaker 1: a message they want to spread. Yeah, Dah, you got
Speaker 1: to be smart and be smart and logical and reasonable
Speaker 1: about your conclusions about any given subject matter, not just
Speaker 1: be swayed by one source or another, but the whole
Speaker 1: idea that I got people from Alabama, I got people
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, I got so many people in Iceland. Listen.
Speaker 1: Just amazes me, just really does, and it warms my heart.
Speaker 1: So thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad too, but I had to say, there's
Speaker 4: too much of the money that we don't know where
Speaker 4: it goes in Ukraine. But I think I stumbled upon
Speaker 4: maybe some of it. This past Saturday, I heard a
Speaker 4: BBC reporter interview three different women in Ukraine who had
Speaker 4: opened up Each of them opened up a cafe what
Speaker 4: they called I believe they called memory cafes donn or
Speaker 4: their husbands or sons that were killed in the war. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so when asked, the reporter asked one of the women,
Speaker 4: that seemed like a pretty expensive thing to do nowadays.
Speaker 4: Where do you get the money for this? One of
Speaker 4: the women said, well, the families of each of the
Speaker 4: soldiers killed receives the equivalent of over three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: So my question is are we funding that when or
Speaker 4: even apportion that when? Well, of course, soldiers of American
Speaker 4: families only receive one hundred thousand dollars that they're killed
Speaker 4: in combat.
Speaker 1: Yes, I would argue absolutely if any money, now this
Speaker 1: is where the money is fungible. Reality must set in
Speaker 1: and has to set in everywhere, even when you're talking
Speaker 1: about the city of Cincinnati and whether it's going to
Speaker 1: use the railroad sale money for things other than existing infrastructure.
Speaker 1: If you as a country, say the United States gives
Speaker 1: the Ukraine, another country say, oh, I don't know, thirty
Speaker 1: billion dollars or one hundred billion dollars. They have their
Speaker 1: already existing financial obligations. Maybe it includes paying death family
Speaker 1: members of the equivalent of three hundred thousand US dollars
Speaker 1: when their son, daughter, or other combatant is lost in action.
Speaker 1: So if we're giving them money that allows and frees
Speaker 1: up money that they otherwise had that was going to
Speaker 1: go to other projects, say buying weapons, keeping their infrastructure alive.
Speaker 1: It frees up the money. So in some way, shape
Speaker 1: or form, it's just one big pile of money. And
Speaker 1: if we add to that pile, of course, we are
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form funding that particular payment. Fungibility.
Speaker 1: There you have it. We could say it's only for
Speaker 1: military weapons. We can say it's only so they can
Speaker 1: acquire long range missiles. They can say it's only for
Speaker 1: them to acquire F fifteens or sixteens or whatever. But
Speaker 1: if they wanted to buy them anyway, they would have
Speaker 1: had to find the money. It just helps them defray
Speaker 1: the costs. So fungibility of money. Yes, we are probably
Speaker 1: paying for the cafes that are open, and God bless them.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, man, I really do. Let's see. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Square dance self identified Square Dancing Todd is back. I asked,
Speaker 1: because Joe Strecker has certain numbers programmed with names, because
Speaker 1: you know, there are regular callers into the show, and
Speaker 1: so I know exactly who it is. And I said,
Speaker 1: Danny was that in the system. He goes, no, no,
Speaker 1: he said he was Square Dancing Todd.
Speaker 10: Okay, yes, I'm not a Russian agent.
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, I would get that clear.
Speaker 10: Let's do it, and your dear listeners.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, foreign power. Fine, you have to register
Speaker 1: under Pharaoh like Hunter Biden should have, but has never
Speaker 1: been charged with not doing anyway, I was.
Speaker 10: Hearing about you talking about influencing and so This may
Speaker 10: be the last time I mentioned square dancing, but I
Speaker 10: think it's been about nine months since I've been trying
Speaker 10: to influence somebody to start square dancing. And I've invented
Speaker 10: a new word to describe me, and it's an influencer,
Speaker 10: because I have not been successful at all.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that this is the it's
Speaker 1: the square dancing event that it takes place what every week,
Speaker 1: isn't it in Wyoming?
Speaker 10: It's every other week, yes, once every two weeks. And
Speaker 10: I was calling the hopes that this is a golden
Speaker 10: opportunity to start square dancing. And I recommend this for
Speaker 10: Brian Thomas Morning show listeners because we're informed people and
Speaker 10: we're aware of all the kind of unsettling is not
Speaker 10: disturbing and depressing news of the world because we're not
Speaker 10: afraid to face reality, right. And I've found my own
Speaker 10: personal instance. When I'm concentrating on the square dance, it
Speaker 10: shoves all that garbage out of my mind for a
Speaker 10: short while. It's like a mini vacation for me, and
Speaker 10: I really benefit from it. And that's why I'm sharing
Speaker 10: it with you.
Speaker 1: I understand that all day long. You know, it's what
Speaker 1: I do when I get home, much of the chagrin
Speaker 1: of even myself, because I sort of look outside myself
Speaker 1: and stare at myself sitting on my screened in back
Speaker 1: porch with my laptop on my lap, watching some inane
Speaker 1: movie on Netflix after the fifty five cares some morning
Speaker 1: show's over. Now, that's a daily routine for me. And
Speaker 1: you know why I'm doing that. I'm not really watching
Speaker 1: the movie. I am meditating. In essence. It is a
Speaker 1: distraction that keeps my mind from swirling with rivulets of
Speaker 1: thought about all the crap that's going on in the world.
Speaker 1: It's a reprieve for me find something fun to do,
Speaker 1: whether it's square dancing or watching a movie or engaging
Speaker 1: an outdoor activity, spending time with family. As long as
Speaker 1: you're not thinking about politics and the crap that's going
Speaker 1: on in the world that otherwise agitates you makes you
Speaker 1: an upset person, and you have found something that's worthwhile doing.
Speaker 10: And I'm called today because there are three square dancing
Speaker 10: beginner classes starting now, okay, and one is starting tomorrow
Speaker 10: evening at the ind O Hi at the Saint Dominic's
Speaker 10: Church and it starts at six o'clock. All right, And
Speaker 10: next week there's one starting in Wyoming at the Wyoming
Speaker 10: Civic Center and it starts at six o'clock. And these
Speaker 10: the beginning class runs for about thirteen weeks and six
Speaker 10: dollars each week per person, So it's not and it's
Speaker 10: and I recommend it highly to my fellow Brian Thomas
Speaker 10: Morning Shoe listeners to have a mini vacation for six
Speaker 10: dollars a week.
Speaker 1: And if you're a person of Todd's age and you
Speaker 1: happen to be of the female persuasion, you may end
Speaker 1: up with a date, because Todd's been desperately looking for
Speaker 1: a date and he's trying to figure out of getting
Speaker 1: some more women to show up at the square dancing classes.
Speaker 1: So it could be a couples event, it could be
Speaker 1: a singular opportunity. But it's supposed to be fun, and
Speaker 1: I imagine it is. And of course it is something
Speaker 1: that can keep your mind off the troubles of the world,
Speaker 1: even if just for a short period of time, making
Speaker 1: it a worthwhile endeavor. I wish you all the best
Speaker 1: of luck with your efforts. Squared. Todd doesn't appeal to me,
Speaker 1: quite honest with you, but you know what I'm not
Speaker 1: much of a dancer, and I find dancing to be
Speaker 1: the most socially weird concept ever. It's you're doing something
Speaker 1: that no one would ever do outside of a dance opportunity.
Speaker 1: You know, you go to a club, you dance at
Speaker 1: a club any other time in your life. If you
Speaker 1: started dancing or acting that way, I mean, the cops
Speaker 1: may come and arrest you and think you on methanphetamine
Speaker 1: or something like that. It's just it's a weird social phenomenon.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's just the way I have you dancing
Speaker 1: throughout history. Anyhow, Good luck, Todd, I wish you all
Speaker 1: the best and spreading the news about Yes, square dancing
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for you. Talk station Donald any Americans
Speaker 1: for Prosperity have next Ohio issue a seasoned assist letter.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about it. Issued by Attorney General
Speaker 1: David Yost here in Ohio, and that'll be next. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, it's go to the phones. They got Chuck
Speaker 1: on the line. Chuck, thanks for calling this morning. Happy
Speaker 1: Friday Eve to you.
Speaker 11: Hey, Brian, thanks for taking my call. Appreciate all you do.
Speaker 1: Thanks Man, appreciate you calling in what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean there's just so much going on in
Speaker 8: my head. And look, call me a conspiracy theorist, but
Speaker 8: ninety nine percent of my conspiracies, if you wait long enough,
Speaker 8: they end up coming true. So I just have a
Speaker 8: couple of points, Chuck.
Speaker 1: That's why you are a pattern observer, not a conspiracy theorist,
Speaker 1: a pattern observer.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 8: I appreciate the kind words. Just a couple of things
Speaker 8: that have been rattling in my head lately. Is and
Speaker 8: I don't think anybody talks about it. Clay and Buck
Speaker 8: don't talk about it. Sean Hannity, No, all the news,
Speaker 8: the Gateway, Pundit, Breitbart, nobody really talks about it. But
Speaker 8: have we ever thought that COVID was done intentionally to
Speaker 8: destroy the economy during Trump's first presidency, Like they had
Speaker 8: to find a way to destroy the good, the good employment,
Speaker 8: the stock market, they had to find a way to
Speaker 8: put fear in people, and they're doing.
Speaker 1: It again now.
Speaker 8: You know, I can't walk into Trader Joe's with a
Speaker 8: red make America Great Again hat, but I see all
Speaker 8: these people with you know, Harris Wall's T shirt.
Speaker 11: Parably, not a lot of people.
Speaker 4: But anyway, I just thought i'd.
Speaker 1: Comment on that, yeah thing, I wanted to say, I
Speaker 1: disagree with your conclusion along those lines. If it had
Speaker 1: happened earlier in the Trump administration, maybe onto something. Remember,
Speaker 1: COVID didn't kick in in earnest and really until like
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and by then, you know, was the end
Speaker 1: of his term and Biden was taken over. And so
Speaker 1: Biden ended up with the really the most devastating effects
Speaker 1: of COVID kicking in on his watch. Real estate price
Speaker 1: as obviously had gone through the roof, resulting in taxes increase,
Speaker 1: and you know, inflation pressure, supply chain disruptions which persisted
Speaker 1: through his administration. So you know, Biden's getting the blame
Speaker 1: for a lot of things that really we can point
Speaker 1: to COVID as having spawned, regardless of why. The ultimate
Speaker 1: reason COVID was unleashed on the globe, whether it was
Speaker 1: by accident or intentionally, I mean, he suffered the brun
Speaker 1: of it under his administration. That's why people say, hey,
Speaker 1: were you better under Trump? Or you are you better
Speaker 1: now under Biden? It's easy to say, well, hell, I
Speaker 1: was better under trumpet for no other reason, the gas
Speaker 1: prices were lower and I could still afford to ols.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it was also coming up to that election time,
Speaker 8: and there was there was something that had to put
Speaker 8: people voting from home.
Speaker 1: Yea, there is that. But then here's the other component.
Speaker 1: And as we've learned, when you start analyzing the PPP
Speaker 1: loans and all that trillions of dollars that was infused,
Speaker 1: you know, to help people deal with the effects of COVID.
Speaker 1: Remember how many cities were bankrupt, how many cities, Blue
Speaker 1: Democrat cities were financially underwater because of underfunded pension programs,
Speaker 1: how many were struggling infant and all that money helped
Speaker 1: solve a lot of those problems for these left leaning cities.
Speaker 1: So thankfully COVID came along, providing an opportunity to infuse
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars into the economy in these various cities. Perhaps, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, to build a water park, you know,
Speaker 1: like the one I talked about in Illinois the other day.
Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot of layers on this.
Speaker 1: When you can sort of point to and come up
Speaker 1: with observations about leading me to perhaps conspiracy sounding conclusions.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 8: And then just one more point I'll make and then
Speaker 8: I'll hang up, and you go on with your day
Speaker 8: and keep keep doing what you're doing, like I said.
Speaker 8: But one thing I think strategically, Walls was picked by
Speaker 8: Harris and was and and Shapiro was not chosen for
Speaker 8: a reason. They have to win Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania is
Speaker 8: critical for the Dems, and they need Shapiro in place
Speaker 8: to make sure that that voting whatever they got up
Speaker 8: their sleeves happens just like it did in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: So anyway, but why didn't they go with Shapiro. Why
Speaker 1: didn't they choose Shapiro? Why did they go with the
Speaker 1: very left leaning blue state Walls.
Speaker 8: I think they need Shapiro in place as governor because
Speaker 8: of what he's able to help with behind the scenes
Speaker 8: and making sure that, yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with something simpler. They couldn't go
Speaker 1: with a Jewish person because of the problem they have
Speaker 1: in their party with the Palestinian reality. That's their problem.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is full on pro Palestine, and I think
Speaker 1: she wouldn't utter the syllables out loud, but I think
Speaker 1: she's very much anti Israel. So they have that wing
Speaker 1: of their party that they need to play kate and
Speaker 1: keep in line. And if they had gone with a
Speaker 1: Jewish person as vice president, what as the bubble and
Speaker 1: a lot of Palestinians would have been rather angry about that,
Speaker 1: if for no other reason than just plain old, flat
Speaker 1: out antisemitic.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well this is the government our founders warned.
Speaker 1: Us about, right, Yes it is. We all have to
Speaker 1: pay very close attention and draw our own conclusions regardless
Speaker 1: of where the source comes from. Appreciated Chuck, thanks to
Speaker 1: the kind words and for listening to the program. My
Speaker 1: friends figure around. We got donaldan neil coming up next
Speaker 1: seven thirty one. If you have KCD talk station. Happy
Speaker 1: Eve Friday, Eve being even extra happy because today the
Speaker 1: return of Donald O'Neil from Americans for Prosperity, And normally
Speaker 1: we're talking about Americans for Prosperity and most notably AFP action,
Speaker 1: which is the way that you can help Americans for Prosperity. Well,
Speaker 1: get out there and spread the word about candidates like
Speaker 1: Bernie Marino. But today we're gonna be talking about Attorney
Speaker 1: Generald General David Yost in a cease and assist letter
Speaker 1: he sent welcome back Donovan O'Neil, it's always a pleasure
Speaker 1: for having you on the show.
Speaker 9: I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the left most notably in fact, it's
Speaker 1: really interesting the timing on this could have been bettered.
Speaker 1: Jason Riley op ed piece in The Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: Biden Harris worked to crush school competition. They are opposed
Speaker 1: to charter schools, and of course they're opposed to school choice.
Speaker 1: But the people like the option of being able to
Speaker 1: send their kids at charter schools and also private schools,
Speaker 1: and they want school choice. So they're on the wrong
Speaker 1: side of the equation on this. Apparently the Columbus schools
Speaker 1: kind of feel the same way.
Speaker 2: They do.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Columbus public schools, you know. So here just the
Speaker 9: lay the foundation for this conversation as well. Brand So,
Speaker 9: you know, in the state of Ohio we have we
Speaker 9: have a lot of school choice. We have public schools,
Speaker 9: private schools, charter schools, online, you have a lot of options.
Speaker 9: But regardless of the option you pick in the state
Speaker 9: of Ohio, because we fund our public education with property
Speaker 9: tax dollars and other moneys, but mostly property tax dollars,
Speaker 9: transportation is part of that. Every school district in the
Speaker 9: state of Ohio has an obligation to provide transportation to
Speaker 9: the students to the end that transportation includes the education
Speaker 9: options that the family picks. But in the city of Columbus,
Speaker 9: they've decided to get a little bold here and say,
Speaker 9: we just can't do that anymore. We're not going to
Speaker 9: transport students to their schools of choice. And if you
Speaker 9: don't like that, you can just go to your public school.
Speaker 9: There's a few other options there, but largely that's what
Speaker 9: they're doing. And so we pay for this with our
Speaker 9: taxpayer dollars and Columbus schools and we think there might
Speaker 9: be more out there.
Speaker 10: Columbus schools have said.
Speaker 9: We're not going to do that anymore, and it's putting
Speaker 9: families in a really tough tight position.
Speaker 4: Hm.
Speaker 1: Well, charter schools, I mean, we have families of very
Speaker 1: modest incomes, folks on life's you know, financial margins that
Speaker 1: do attend charter schools that children do quite often those
Speaker 1: individuals maybe don't have te transportation of their own. I
Speaker 1: saw this article out of uh let's see it was,
Speaker 1: I think one of the local news outlets in Columbus.
Speaker 1: The quote to a woman named Crystal Green said she
Speaker 1: did not have a way to get her son to
Speaker 1: school on his first day, and then her son attends
Speaker 1: a charter school, and there's the Columbus school. That school
Speaker 1: is basically saying, sorry, sucks to be you. We don't
Speaker 1: care about people who are in that category.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, and that's that's a really tragic thing, right.
Speaker 9: You can read a number of articles coming out about
Speaker 9: this over the last couple of days that quote parents
Speaker 9: who were caught blindsided by this, who are unable to
Speaker 9: get their kid to their school have had to shake
Speaker 9: up plans and you know how frustrating that. I mean, well,
Speaker 9: on one hand, it's frustrating, but the real tragedy is
Speaker 9: the education loss an opportunity that's occurring here because of
Speaker 9: the decision by administrators to look the other way and
Speaker 9: put these families in a in this position. And here's
Speaker 9: the deal. They have the money to do this as well.
Speaker 9: This isn't this isn't necessarily a budget kid straint, Brian,
Speaker 9: there's the money, is there? More money has been invested
Speaker 9: in public education in the last two years than in
Speaker 9: the number of years. And what we have here, though,
Speaker 9: is I think administrators playing politics with families who are
Speaker 9: seeking school choice, and we need to just bring that
Speaker 9: to light and show it for what it is.
Speaker 1: Well, absolutely, and this is I think I wish more
Speaker 1: Republicans would champion out loud and regularly the idea of
Speaker 1: school choice. I just I honestly, Donovan, I know, with
Speaker 1: the exception of members of the Public school Teachers Union,
Speaker 1: I cannot really personally imagine a family that wouldn't embrace
Speaker 1: the idea, whether or not they want to send their
Speaker 1: kids to the public school anyplace else, just the point
Speaker 1: of having the choice to go where they want. What's
Speaker 1: wrong with it? I thought Democrats were a champion of choice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can have your baby killed at eight and a
Speaker 1: half months, that's a okay with us. But no, when
Speaker 1: it comes sending your kids to a school that performs
Speaker 1: better than the public schools which are failing, then no,
Speaker 1: you can't have that. We need to support the public
Speaker 1: teachers Union. This is just an illustration of how they're
Speaker 1: waging this war.
Speaker 9: Well, and that's why I want to, you know, want
Speaker 9: to bring that up here on your show, because you know,
Speaker 9: we need to see I've heard rumbling. You know, we're
Speaker 9: we're a grassroots organizations so we travel around a state,
Speaker 9: we've got a pretty good feel for what's going on
Speaker 9: out there around the state and what families are experiencing,
Speaker 9: and you know, making sure that folks are paying attention
Speaker 9: to this. I don't think this is only happening. I
Speaker 9: can't imagine this is only happening in Columbus public schools.
Speaker 9: These transportation issues probably are out there and a number
Speaker 9: of areas, and they are areas that you know, to
Speaker 9: bring it to your point, Brian, I think here is
Speaker 9: that there are areas that are traditionally democrat or blue areas,
Speaker 9: areas that are underserved in education options and when means
Speaker 9: charter schools or private schools. And with the expansion of
Speaker 9: the school choice in the state of Ohio, more families
Speaker 9: have outpportunity to get their kids out of a failing
Speaker 9: government funded school and put them in a school that
Speaker 9: meets that child's needs. Yet, when the transportation options are
Speaker 9: pulled out from underneath them, that that reality that opportunity
Speaker 9: is operates instantly, and so we need to make sure
Speaker 9: that folks are being vigilant and pulling out their school districts.
Speaker 9: It's the transportation options aren't being provided for them.
Speaker 1: Well, I know they struggle with transportation issues here in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati, and I'm not quite sure how
Speaker 1: they resolved that for this year, my understanding was resolved,
Speaker 1: but quite often it's you know, public transportation, like regular
Speaker 1: buses are being used. But I mean, your point is
Speaker 1: really a point that that Attorney General Yost made, which is, look,
Speaker 1: you have to do this. The money is there, and
Speaker 1: your obligation is to provide the transportation, So do it.
Speaker 1: I mean, is there any defense from the Columbus Public
Speaker 1: Schools to Attorney General David Yost's point on that and
Speaker 1: the point that you're making here on the Morning Show
Speaker 1: this morning, Donovan.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know they're saying that they have if it's
Speaker 9: if it's in just what the utual language is here,
Speaker 9: but if it's if they can't they determined that they
Speaker 9: can't actually do it, like there's a challenge or it's
Speaker 9: impractical to transport, impractical to transport the language the wou'd
Speaker 9: use there. There there are some exceptions, and I think
Speaker 9: that's where Columbus City Schools is saying, we made this
Speaker 9: determination that it's impractical to transport these students to their
Speaker 9: schools of choice for any number of reasons. The argument, though, right,
Speaker 9: that the Attorney General is making is that that that
Speaker 9: may not exactly be the case, and when parents are
Speaker 9: appealing those decisions, they're being rejected. I think that's what
Speaker 9: he's his office is taking a look at, is to say, Okay,
Speaker 9: you're making this determination, but this might be a bogus determination,
Speaker 9: and you're doing it for reasons that aren't entirely above board.
Speaker 9: And that's what I think we need to make sure
Speaker 9: parents are equipped to do. But you know, I wouldn't
Speaker 9: put it past the school districts out there right, who
Speaker 9: are frustrated with the choice options that exist, especially in
Speaker 9: a heated political year, to be utilizing something like transportation right,
Speaker 9: like how do you how is your child going to
Speaker 9: get to school? Right as a pressure point to try
Speaker 9: to make choice options limited in their communities. And we
Speaker 9: really need, folks, you know, to be focused on you know,
Speaker 9: we need the school districts to be focused on what
Speaker 9: their mission is, what we fund them with our taxpayer
Speaker 9: dollars to do, which is to help make sure that
Speaker 9: our kids have access to good education, whether it's at
Speaker 9: the public school, the private school, the charter school, and.
Speaker 8: What have you.
Speaker 9: That's their mission and their purpose. That's why we fund
Speaker 9: them with our tax dollars. And when they fail to
Speaker 9: meet their obligations, we got to hold them accountable.
Speaker 1: Indeed, and that's what AFE does. And I'm glad you're
Speaker 1: on the program talking about the efforts by Attorney General
Speaker 1: David jose to force the schools to step up into
Speaker 1: the plate and honor their obligations, even though it may
Speaker 1: result in fewer students going to public schools. Why because
Speaker 1: parents have a choice and would rather send them to
Speaker 1: a school that's going to provide the educational needs for
Speaker 1: their children. Huh. Fancy concept that one. And again universal
Speaker 1: a political across the board. Everyone should embrace this reality.
Speaker 1: So what what what's your what's your parents? Who are
Speaker 1: listening to this too? I mean, if they haven't experienced
Speaker 1: this themselves, I understand it won't be an issue for them.
Speaker 1: But get involved. I suppose get you know, get on
Speaker 1: school boards, get elected, or otherwise participate. I mean we
Speaker 1: need engagement, don't we.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well, if you if you're listening to this and you're saying, huh,
Speaker 9: you know what, I got a letter my school district
Speaker 9: said they can't transform a kid and I've just been
Speaker 9: trying to figure it out ever since. I'd say, if
Speaker 9: you've gotten something like that, or if you're if you're
Speaker 9: experiencing trouble with your school district getting your kid transported, uh,
Speaker 9: get involved in that local school board and start pushing
Speaker 9: back a little bit. But I'd also encourage you reach
Speaker 9: out to the Attorney General's office, and they're an advocated
Speaker 9: for the citizens a LITTLEHIO. They're going to make sure
Speaker 9: that the laws are enforced, and let them know if
Speaker 9: you're experiencing that. Oftentimes, you pull one small thread right
Speaker 9: like yes, fum the schools, and you begin to unravel
Speaker 9: the whole quilt. Let's just make sure that's not sure
Speaker 9: that this isn't a systemic issue. Hopefully it's just the
Speaker 9: symptom in Columbus. It's an incident in Columbus. But if
Speaker 9: you're having those troubles as a listener, reach out to
Speaker 9: training General's office and makes you start pushing back against
Speaker 9: your school board, tell them they got to transport your kid.
Speaker 1: All right now, to boil it down in the file analysis,
Speaker 1: it sounds to me, based on what you said here
Speaker 1: in the Morning Show, that there are exceptions to the
Speaker 1: overall mandate slash obligation to provide transportation. But you have
Speaker 1: to have basically a specific reason why it's impractical or
Speaker 1: not they can't meet that need. That's something that they
Speaker 1: need to prove it. It's almost like a due process analysis.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think what you would think about with
Speaker 9: that brain right, is I can't enroll my kid in
Speaker 9: a school in Cleveland and expect them to get bused
Speaker 9: there every day, exactly right, that's impractical.
Speaker 11: But look, you've got these buses.
Speaker 9: Driving through a neighborhood, and you've got you know, you've
Speaker 9: got school within a community within a town that are
Speaker 9: community charter schools. They are your student ought to be
Speaker 9: able to get bust to those get bus to those schools.
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem unreasonable to me, certainly it is not
Speaker 1: to me either. Afpaction dot Coms we can help out.
Speaker 1: They'll teach you how to go door to door, like
Speaker 1: to help work on Bernie Morina's campaign Donovan real quick
Speaker 1: before we part company this morning. I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of Bernie Moreno spots on the regular programs that my
Speaker 1: wife and I watch. I've gotten a lot of mailers
Speaker 1: out there, so it seems like the campaign is kicked
Speaker 1: off in ernest and I know even helping out with that,
Speaker 1: and you've gotten ahead of the curve on it. Everything
Speaker 1: looking good in terms of your work on behalf of
Speaker 1: Bernie Morena.
Speaker 9: Things are looking great. We've got a day of action
Speaker 9: this Saturday and there was a poll floating around social
Speaker 9: media with Bernie Moreno up one point. We think we've
Speaker 9: closed the gap and have Bernie and shared Brown neck
Speaker 9: and Neck right now. We'll spread for the next sixty
Speaker 9: days to election day to put them.
Speaker 6: Over the top.
Speaker 1: Afpaction dot Com to help out and they'll give you
Speaker 1: all the resources you need to do just that. Donovan
Speaker 1: and Neil, God bless you. Thank you and everyone at
Speaker 1: AFP for what you do each and every day. And
Speaker 1: I know you'll be on the program again real soon.
Speaker 1: Fo to having you back. Seven fifty one. Coming up
Speaker 1: on some fifty two about Fair City Talk Station, we
Speaker 1: hear from RM macintye with the book The Total State,
Speaker 1: How Liberal Democracy has become Tyrannies at the top of
Speaker 1: the air news Jay Rattler at eight thirty jumping over
Speaker 1: the phones, got a couple of callers on Long and
Speaker 1: Try Again. Both in start with Jim has been on
Speaker 1: hold longer. Jim, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Friday Eve,
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 2: Brian, Happy Friday evening to you. Got I don't quite
Speaker 2: agree with what we just said about school bussing. Was
Speaker 2: on the board in West Claremont for a term and
Speaker 2: we did not supply bussing to anybody in the high school.
Speaker 2: And we changed at the point when I was on
Speaker 2: before I got to the board, no, anybody k through
Speaker 2: eight outside inside of two miles, And if we had
Speaker 2: people that went to a private school or charter school,
Speaker 2: if they were outside a half hour, we did not
Speaker 2: have supply.
Speaker 1: Well, that outside half hour goes to Donovan and Neil's point, like,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get somebody to take you free
Speaker 1: transportation if you're in if you go to school in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: you live in Columbus. That may have been within the
Speaker 1: parameters of no, we do not have to do it
Speaker 1: under the law. But I guess my first question is,
Speaker 1: I don't know when this law is enacted that Attorney
Speaker 1: General Yost is trying to enforce, and I don't know
Speaker 1: when you were on the board. Maybe the situation with
Speaker 1: regard to busting obligations has changed maybe the law that
Speaker 1: Attorney General Yost is referring to is a more recently
Speaker 1: enacted law obligating the Columbus schools to provide this this
Speaker 1: busting for charter schools. It could be, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: I am not. I do not profess to be an
Speaker 1: expert on it. Yeah, I do not profied expert on it.
Speaker 1: That's why I rely on Donovan on this one and
Speaker 1: his and I rely on Attorney General Yost in his opinions.
Speaker 2: And the other thing was that somebody, if we have
Speaker 2: one student going to a school away from us, we
Speaker 2: did not necessarily have to provide a busting or transportation
Speaker 2: to them if the parents agreed to accept the stipends
Speaker 2: from the school district to get to provide their own transportation.
Speaker 1: And that makes sense. That's the return of the taxpayer
Speaker 1: dollars that have been allocated for transportation to the family.
Speaker 1: It's almost like my advocacy for school choice. Let the
Speaker 1: dollars go to the family and let the family make
Speaker 1: the choice on where they go to school, and that
Speaker 1: would take the direct payments of the public education system
Speaker 1: out of the equation and force them to compete with
Speaker 1: the obviously better performing charter schools and in many cases
Speaker 1: better performing private schools. Appreciate to call my friend. And
Speaker 1: again I don't profess to be an expert on school bussing.
Speaker 1: Generally speaking, Sean, welcome to the program, A happy Friday,
Speaker 1: ev you, sir, Thank you for.
Speaker 6: Taking my call, sir, real quick? Should we be giving
Speaker 6: litmus tests to voters before they're allowed to vote? And secondly,
Speaker 6: I know nothing about Bernie Marino. Can you inform me a.
Speaker 1: Yes, Berniemarina dot com. It's all right there. And I
Speaker 1: would recommend, in addition to looking at why he's look
Speaker 1: at his endorsements. This guy has been endorsed by I
Speaker 1: think there are more endorsements for Bernie Morena than there
Speaker 1: are voters in the state of Ohio. You got your choice.
Speaker 1: It's Bernie moreno businessman, conservative, a small government kind of guy,
Speaker 1: or what you got now? Shared Brown, who is one
Speaker 1: of the most leftist leaning senators we've got, voting with
Speaker 1: the Biden administration in spite of his efforts to pain
Speaker 1: himself as a moderate fighting with the Biden administration, and
Speaker 1: I think what was it ninety eight percent of the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are obvious distinctions between the two Berniemarno dot Com
Speaker 1: to get a lot of information about who he is,
Speaker 1: what he stands for, and it's a very easy and
Speaker 1: stark contrast to what we're dealing with right now. Seven
Speaker 1: fifty five fifty five KRSITY Talk Station, The Total State
Speaker 1: how liberal democracy has become Tyrannies. That's after the top
Speaker 1: of the IRO News with author Aaron McIntyre, and of
Speaker 1: course eight thirty with Jay Ratliffe. I'll be right back
Speaker 1: eight oh five and fifty five kerr CD Talk Station.
Speaker 1: A very happy Friday Eve to you, Brian Thomas. Happy
Speaker 1: to welcome the fifty five Carecy morning. So you're kind
Speaker 1: of continuing the theme that I launched into this morning
Speaker 1: about this ridiculous effort to go after Russians for alleged misinformation.
Speaker 1: Apparently they think the Russians are in the can with
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, but they're trying to suppress communication. Generally speaking,
Speaker 1: everybody's got an opinion, everybody's got a mouth. I'm sure
Speaker 1: the Russians have one, I have one.
Speaker 6: You have one.
Speaker 1: Just depends on how closely you are paying attention to
Speaker 1: the facts and so you can discern truth from falsehoods
Speaker 1: and draw your own conclusions. A man who knows all
Speaker 1: about this. My next guest Aaron or Rn McIntyre. He
Speaker 1: is a calmness lecture author of a book we're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about today focusing on the application of political theory.
Speaker 1: Host of The r In McIntyre Show. You can find
Speaker 1: them on podcasts with the Blaze. Search for your podcast
Speaker 1: and check out his program. Today we're going to talk
Speaker 1: with about his book The Total State, How Liberal Democracies
Speaker 1: become Tyrannies. Welcome to the program, Arn McIntyre. It's a
Speaker 1: real pleasure to have you on today. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: You focus a lot about the whole COVID thing. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: we just said Mark Zuckerberg come out the other day
Speaker 1: admit that the government suppressed and forced him on Facebook
Speaker 1: to suppress what we now know to be true, honest, genuine,
Speaker 1: factual information about COVID. But no, no, no, that went
Speaker 1: against the government narrative, so we can't have any of that.
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, Arn, we have a First Amendment,
Speaker 1: the right to free speech and free assembly whatever happened
Speaker 1: to that, as well as the Fourth Amendment right to
Speaker 1: be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. You and I
Speaker 1: could go on for hours.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and really, I do at length in the book
Speaker 11: explain what happened with a lot of these changes.
Speaker 6: A lot of what has.
Speaker 11: Happened is that the authority of the government, the authority
Speaker 11: that was supposed to be restrained inside the first three
Speaker 11: articles of.
Speaker 4: The Constitution, has been shifted into.
Speaker 11: A number of different institutions. A lot of people, of course,
Speaker 11: have heard of the deep state. That's what a lot
Speaker 11: of people call the unelected bureaucracy of the federal government.
Speaker 11: But on top of that, we have institutions like social media,
Speaker 11: like academia, like your regular news media, and all of
Speaker 11: these wild enormous amounts of power, in many cases some
Speaker 11: of the powers that we're intended to to be part
Speaker 11: of the government. And now that those are no longer
Speaker 11: something that is under the umbrella of the government, the
Speaker 11: Constitution no longer applies. So what's happening regularly is that
Speaker 11: the federal government is basically shopping out censorship programs places
Speaker 11: like Facebook or other news media to make sure that
Speaker 11: while they while the speech is still being restricted, no
Speaker 11: technical First Amendment violations are being committed.
Speaker 1: Yes, But as I am an attorney, and I do
Speaker 1: recall the political reality of the legal reality that if
Speaker 1: a government is working and is inextricably intertwined with a
Speaker 1: private business, that private business can be deemed to be
Speaker 1: part of the government and ergo must honor our constitutional rights.
Speaker 1: And I certainly believe that was the case in connection
Speaker 1: with the government's hand in hand work with formerly known
Speaker 1: as Twitter, as well as Facebook and other social media outlets.
Speaker 1: So it just depends on how far across the line
Speaker 1: they go on that.
Speaker 11: But the problem is that we continuously see that these
Speaker 11: people are not about to heal under any kind of restriction.
Speaker 11: And unfortunately, it's obviously not just private companies, like you said,
Speaker 11: it's also institutions that are supposed to be objective. One
Speaker 11: of the reasons that so many people lost faith institutions,
Speaker 11: correctly so, during something like COVID is that the government
Speaker 11: was willing to go ahead and censor and manipulate data
Speaker 11: for purely political purposes in institutions like public health, which
Speaker 11: are supposed to be above all this. And really one
Speaker 11: of the things that I point out repeatedly in the
Speaker 11: book is that the neutral institution is itself a myth
Speaker 11: that a lot of our governance is currently based on.
Speaker 11: We have moved so much of the authority of especially
Speaker 11: the legislative branch, into these regulatory agencies that are not
Speaker 11: actually seeing proper oversight, and they're the ones that are
Speaker 11: really writing the laws at the end of the day
Speaker 11: with their application. You know, we look at a situation
Speaker 11: like COVID. We thought that Donald Trump was the elected
Speaker 11: president of the United States, but in the state of exception,
Speaker 11: the moment in which all of these rules seem to
Speaker 11: be suspended so that people can feel during the during
Speaker 11: the pandemic. Instead it's actually Anthony Fausci. He seems to
Speaker 11: be giving out orders.
Speaker 1: Indeed, and you know, one of the worst states that
Speaker 1: defended that. The sort of the entire process, the constitutional
Speaker 1: reality of separation of the powers and the fact that
Speaker 1: laws have to be passed. Pennsylvania, they just change their
Speaker 1: election laws on a whim. There's one day that was
Speaker 1: this way, and the next day, oh no, you've got
Speaker 1: ten extra days and you can do this and you
Speaker 1: don't need to provide that. It's like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: that was just an edict from on high. There was
Speaker 1: no legislation passed. Their electoral rules were not changed by
Speaker 1: the legislative branch and then signed into law by the governor.
Speaker 1: It just happened overnight. I think the problem is we
Speaker 1: let it happen.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 11: And the issue is when all of these rules are
Speaker 11: being violated simultaneously, simultaneously, both by government agencies and by
Speaker 11: different organizations, it's difficult to chase all these violations down.
Speaker 11: And that's really the issue. When these organizations seem to
Speaker 11: act in some level of synchronicity, even though there's no
Speaker 11: direct coordination from some kind of organization on high than
Speaker 11: what you have is a scenario where thousands of violations
Speaker 11: are occurring simultaneously. There's no way that any watchtag organization
Speaker 11: is going to be able to bring legal pressure simultaneously
Speaker 11: across all of his organizations, and so much of this
Speaker 11: slips through and starts becoming precedent or the way the
Speaker 11: things just get done. It comes standard operating procedure inside
Speaker 11: the organizations.
Speaker 1: So, and I know what you're saying, we live through
Speaker 1: it all with COVID. I mean, we have a Republican
Speaker 1: governor who said you can go to a bar, but
Speaker 1: you can't drink after ten pm. You can stay there,
Speaker 1: but you can't drink after ten. Now, what the hell
Speaker 1: is that? There's no scientific foundation for that. It sounded
Speaker 1: stupid when it came out of his mouth, but there
Speaker 1: they were honoring the rule and not serving drinks after
Speaker 1: ten pm. How do we deal with this problem? Obviously
Speaker 1: it was a multi state, global issue. Everyone was freaked
Speaker 1: out because our messengers were freaking everyone out and allowed
Speaker 1: people to sort of accept this dracone in response and
Speaker 1: this violation of our constitutional light rights and just swallow
Speaker 1: it whole without even arguing about it. Yeah, I give
Speaker 1: you a great illustration, like the very close after this
Speaker 1: whole COVID nineteen, he hit the fan. There was a
Speaker 1: protest in downtown Cincinnati, and I had to then fopeach
Speaker 1: President on saying, these people are crazy. They shouldn't be
Speaker 1: allowed to be out in the streets. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you got a right to free assembly. You can't tell
Speaker 1: people they're not a lot of walk outside and engage
Speaker 1: in a protest. That's a constitutional right, and he keeps like,
Speaker 1: you know you're right on that. I mean, I was wrong,
Speaker 1: But the defiance and the actual embracing of the right
Speaker 1: to free assembly was outright rejected and condemned by elected officials.
Speaker 1: Across the board because well, COVID, that's why. So Aaron, Aaron,
Speaker 1: what are we to do about this? Because it shouldn't
Speaker 1: ever happen in the first instance, but we just witness
Speaker 1: it happening, and everybody feels like it's going to happen
Speaker 1: again in a moment's notice.
Speaker 11: Well, the two things that I think are really critical
Speaker 11: is one, as I look back into the history of
Speaker 11: the Constitution and political constitutions in general, one of the
Speaker 11: things that I noticed is a lot of Americans just
Speaker 11: assume that because some restriction is written down on paper,
Speaker 11: that's the law. That's it, that's the only decision to
Speaker 11: be made. But of course the founding fathers knew, along
Speaker 11: with most other political theoris, you know, many hundreds of
Speaker 11: years ago, understood that ultimately a constitution is only the
Speaker 11: reflection of the values of the people, and if the
Speaker 11: people are not themselves invested in any of these rights,
Speaker 11: the fact that they happen to be written down on
Speaker 11: paper doesn't actually protect them. The fact that most of
Speaker 11: the stuff didn't really mean a lot of people ultimately
Speaker 11: they were willing to put up with whatever happened, whatever
Speaker 11: their local government was telling them to comply. With whatever
Speaker 11: national government was telling them to comply with is really
Speaker 11: a huge part of the issue. But the other part
Speaker 11: is really the manner in which we've centralized control and
Speaker 11: management of so many of the problems. When you have
Speaker 11: something like this, a state of emergency that suddenly enabled
Speaker 11: a government to make sweeping decisions without going through the
Speaker 11: proper process, and you centralize everything into these massive agencies
Speaker 11: that control the entire country or in some cases, international
Speaker 11: agencies that are pushing things top down into multiple nations simultaneously,
Speaker 11: then you end up in a scenario where one bad
Speaker 11: decision or one decision to ignore the science ends up
Speaker 11: affecting the entire nation or in some cases the entire globe.
Speaker 1: And I guess the other component of this, and I
Speaker 1: when you're remind the litigation attorneys what I practiced for
Speaker 1: sixteen years, I know how damn expensive it is. And
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it. People are unwilling to
Speaker 1: push back, Like, for example, if you said, you know,
Speaker 1: they said you're not allowed to go to church. Again,
Speaker 1: that's the first and foremost mentioned in the First Amendment.
Speaker 1: You know, the right to free exercise of religion also
Speaker 1: free assembly. You should be allowed to go to church,
Speaker 1: and you should be able to congregate with the folks,
Speaker 1: but you're afraid to do that because some law or
Speaker 1: some edict or rule has been written down saying you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to do it. You're not going to break
Speaker 1: the law, the law or the statement, even though it
Speaker 1: isn't a lawful law, because you can't afford to go
Speaker 1: to court and defend yourself. You'll have to go through
Speaker 1: the arrest process, You'll have to get a lawyer defend yourself.
Speaker 1: And some people are like, you know what, it's just
Speaker 1: not worth it. I can't afford the time, hassl or trouble,
Speaker 1: so I'll let my rights be taken away.
Speaker 11: Well, and let's not forget that the entire federal government
Speaker 11: was acting to Splanner anybody who pushed back against this.
Speaker 11: So everybody who said, oh maybe this isn't this big issue,
Speaker 11: maybe it's okay if we get together. They were Russian assets,
Speaker 11: right like they were literally abel traders and foreign agents.
Speaker 11: And you know, science deniers, you know, everyone is simultaneously
Speaker 11: some kind of evil agent or Putin and some kind
Speaker 11: of backwards toothless hits who doesn't believe in science. If
Speaker 11: they think I could probably go to church. If I'm
Speaker 11: you know, not immuno compromised and under sixty years old,
Speaker 11: it's probably not that big a deal. You know, you
Speaker 11: have to lie to a lot of people. You have
Speaker 11: to hyper propagandaize them to make them actually believe when
Speaker 11: they look outside and everything's fine and there aren't a
Speaker 11: lot of dead people in the streets the Black Plague,
Speaker 11: that there's actually some kind of global, massive pandemic happening. Look,
Speaker 11: it was a bad disease. A lot of people died.
Speaker 11: There's certainly people who are super you know, vulnerable to it.
Speaker 11: I'm not pretending like it wasn't real. But the idea
Speaker 11: that it had the level of severity that it did
Speaker 11: is entirely manufactured intentionally by a government media apparatus that
Speaker 11: was looking to do a dry run for how much
Speaker 11: power they could see in an emergency, and what they
Speaker 11: found was they could seize almost.
Speaker 6: All of it.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, And that's the scary part right there, and
Speaker 1: we roll over and I think, you know, it's part
Speaker 1: of the problem. R. Mctyre, author of the book we're
Speaker 1: talking about the total State, how liberal democracies become tyrannies.
Speaker 1: Isn't this really if more people had a more profound
Speaker 1: and clear understanding of what the Constitution does, the rights
Speaker 1: it does protect, these God given rights that we enjoy
Speaker 1: are supposed to enjoy, they would be in a position
Speaker 1: to stand up for that and say, no, you are
Speaker 1: not allowed to do this to me. Because because we
Speaker 1: lack that basic foundation understanding the fact that we do
Speaker 1: have a constitution that protects these rights, the supreme law
Speaker 1: of the land, people are willing to overlook it because
Speaker 1: they don't understand it.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 11: And I think it goes one step further. It's you know,
Speaker 11: the Constitution is there to remind us of what our
Speaker 11: ancestors believe, what our tradition is. But the Constitution itself
Speaker 11: does not protect anything. It is only the people animated
Speaker 11: by that tradition, believing deeply in the rights that their
Speaker 11: ancestors fought for, that actually protects that. The paper has
Speaker 11: never protected one right. It is the people believing collectively
Speaker 11: in that truth and holding it sacrifanct above safety, above
Speaker 11: any other dictate from the government, that is what actually
Speaker 11: protects things. And I think a lot of people forgot that.
Speaker 11: They said, oh, well, the Constitution is sitting somewhere safe
Speaker 11: under plexiglass protecting my freedoms. That is not how it's work.
Speaker 11: That's not how the founders believe they it was supposed
Speaker 11: to work. They wrote to you a document to remind
Speaker 11: you of the tradition that you should be living every day,
Speaker 11: not for the document to make some kind of magical
Speaker 11: shield against your right.
Speaker 1: Well aarn, there you go. That's why public education has
Speaker 1: turned its back on civics and teaching constitutional philosophy, as
Speaker 1: our country used to do regularly, so people had a
Speaker 1: grasp and understanding of what a wonderful place we have
Speaker 1: because of these god given rights that the Constitution points out.
Speaker 1: If you don't point it out, people forget it, and
Speaker 1: then they're willing to stop drinking after ten pm just
Speaker 1: because the governor utters the words right, that's right. Our
Speaker 1: MacIntyre Wonderful book. It's on my blog page fifty five
Speaker 1: care sea dot com, so my listeners can easily get
Speaker 1: a link to buy a copy of it. I will
Speaker 1: encourage them to read it and share it with friends
Speaker 1: to expand our understanding of this aren What do you
Speaker 1: offer solutions in the book to these obvious problems that
Speaker 1: were the seemingly insurmountable problems we're talking about right now.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that this is a difficult answer. It's
Speaker 11: an easy solution, but it is a necessary one. We
Speaker 11: have to start seeing people, especially people who oppose the
Speaker 11: current progressive hegimony, to building alternative institutions, both locally and
Speaker 11: at the state level. The United States together was not
Speaker 11: supposed to be some giant, monolithic amalgamation of different organizations
Speaker 11: that form one opinion across all domains. It was supposed
Speaker 11: to be a federal government where the power and decisions
Speaker 11: were made much closer to home, next to the people,
Speaker 11: where things are actually supposed to be decided. And our
Speaker 11: current giant institutions are corrupted to the core. So we
Speaker 11: have to start devolving things back to the state, and
Speaker 11: we have to start stop trusting giant, monolithic institutions and
Speaker 11: instead return our understanding back to alternatives that actually serve
Speaker 11: the people where they live.
Speaker 1: Our Mcatyre talking my language, my friend. Every single day,
Speaker 1: That's what I do on the morning show. So I'm
Speaker 1: pleased to have been able to talk to you today
Speaker 1: about your book again, The Total State, How liberal democracies
Speaker 1: become Tyrannies. Thank you for writing it, Thank you for
Speaker 1: sharing your time with us today, and I'll encourage my
Speaker 1: listeners get a copy of the book.
Speaker 4: Aren't thank you so much?
Speaker 1: Tra having merope my pleasure truly eight nineteen c Detalk Station,
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Eve, Jay ratlup up next. I just have
Speaker 1: to observe, you know, and the subject better of the book,
Speaker 1: the total state, you know, the COVID lockdowns, all the
Speaker 1: plan fast and loofs with the law and the constitution
Speaker 1: trampling our liberties and our freedoms, and more fundamentally, like
Speaker 1: I mentioned with a Facebook and Zuckerberg coming out and saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: the government told me to basically remove content relating to
Speaker 1: comments about COVID, and we fast forward out of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. You know, we're back in twenty twenty and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, when all this information was being suppressed
Speaker 1: and there were people out there like me who saw
Speaker 1: scientific studies pointing out that masks don't do anything like
Speaker 1: a chain link fence doesn't stop a handful of sand
Speaker 1: when you throw it at the chain link fence. The
Speaker 1: little tiny particles or COVID nineteen buyers go right through
Speaker 1: or around the mask. We find out later that social
Speaker 1: distancing was a figure pulled out of Anthony Fauci's sphincter.
Speaker 1: We find out that the vaccines do not prevent you
Speaker 1: from getting COVID nineteen, and in fact, you know you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to get half a dozen of them or so.
Speaker 1: We find out half to the fact that, you know,
Speaker 1: really the impact on people that aren't struggling with medical problems,
Speaker 1: pre existing conditions obesity for example, and other medical conditions
Speaker 1: which exacerbate and otherwise compound COVID as a problem for you,
Speaker 1: that young people really just get through it like they
Speaker 1: do a common cold. We all know this now, but
Speaker 1: at the time, if you uttered anything like that, as
Speaker 1: he pointed out, you were labeled, you know, a creating,
Speaker 1: an imbecile, a jerk, someone to be feared or worried about.
Speaker 1: You were outside. You weren't paying attention to the science. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we've been through the lies. We know what was done,
Speaker 1: we know about the suppression, and we find out that
Speaker 1: many of the things that we thought to be true,
Speaker 1: which you weren't allowed to utter, were in fact true.
Speaker 1: At the time we were believing them or thinking them.
Speaker 1: We just couldn't spread the word about it. Will it
Speaker 1: work again? Will we succumb to the stupid things like
Speaker 1: you can't drink after ten o'clock, or you can only
Speaker 1: shop on that aisle of the store but not the
Speaker 1: other ones, whatever the case may be. Under whatever crazy
Speaker 1: circumstances we're confronted with, are we going to allow them
Speaker 1: to deny us the free exercise of religion? Are we
Speaker 1: going to allow them to deny us the right to
Speaker 1: well gather collectively and speak our minds? Are we going
Speaker 1: to listen to them next time? Are we gonna to
Speaker 1: learn from what we've been through under the lies? It's
Speaker 1: an interesting social experiment. I hope we don't have to
Speaker 1: have an experience in it again. I hope this is
Speaker 1: the only pandemic that I've ever have to go through
Speaker 1: my life. But after all the wise and all the truth,
Speaker 1: it's now come out and we realize what was done
Speaker 1: to us, will we let them do it to us again? Hey,
Speaker 1: thirty three Friday Eve, It's that time. I always look
Speaker 1: forward to this time on the fifty five Case Morning
Speaker 1: Show because I get to and I'm honored to be
Speaker 1: able to have them on the program. My Heart media
Speaker 1: aviation expert Jay Ratliff, Welcome back, my friend, love having
Speaker 1: you on the show.
Speaker 12: Hey, the honor and pleasure is mine.
Speaker 1: Believe me. Well, you know I'm going to take you
Speaker 1: different direction. I got a list. I know what your
Speaker 1: list is. But it doesn't mean.
Speaker 12: For the curveball.
Speaker 1: I say it was in the status DOUD. This morning
Speaker 1: they had to turn another flight around after two hours
Speaker 1: over the Atlantic. Someone and I guess got into about
Speaker 1: of explosive diarrhea creating a medical conmergency condition or at
Speaker 1: least a biohazard condition on the plane, requiring them to
Speaker 1: turn around after two hours of flight back to go
Speaker 1: to New York City for an emergency landing. That just
Speaker 1: is just a terrible situation. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: can get around.
Speaker 12: That, though, Well you can't, but you've got protocols because
Speaker 12: we're dealing with hazardous materials. We're dealing with something that
Speaker 12: is not a disruptive passenger from a behavior standpoint, that
Speaker 12: you can secure in a seat, not dust table, though
Speaker 12: we used to do that a lot. This is something
Speaker 12: that requires the crew to say, find the closest airport,
Speaker 12: and if you're over the Atlantic, and the closest airport
Speaker 12: is the flight airport you took off from two hours back,
Speaker 12: that's exactly what you do, and you just you know,
Speaker 12: everything is handled in a very precise way so that
Speaker 12: they make sure that, you know, passengers are impacted as
Speaker 12: little as possible. Obviously, if you've got a flight that's
Speaker 12: not completely full, the flight attendants have a way of
Speaker 12: moving passengers around to try to distance them from whatever
Speaker 12: areas might be affected. And you know, it's a rough situation.
Speaker 12: But you know, when you look at the fact that
Speaker 12: globally we might have eight million people a day flying,
Speaker 12: and we look at the number of these kinds of stories,
Speaker 12: it's amazing to me that more of these types of stories,
Speaker 12: maybe not this specifically, but behavioral stories and people that
Speaker 12: might pass away on a flight or whatever, that we
Speaker 12: don't have greater numbers of those because we would hear
Speaker 12: about them immediately, because these stories go viral before the
Speaker 12: plane even lands.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Welcome to the Internet, Jay Ratler.
Speaker 1: Let's past one to bring it back. I got one
Speaker 1: more to three direction before we get to the luggage article,
Speaker 1: which is a rather funny story as well, so lightning
Speaker 1: things up as we close out. You ever been in
Speaker 1: a cockpit before, Jay Ratlif as he's a artmedia aviation expert.
Speaker 1: He's pilot. It's also a savvy investors.
Speaker 12: Now trader trader. He has invested the by holding free crowds.
Speaker 12: A friend of mine last week told me that ten
Speaker 12: years ago he bought United Airlines stock at forty four
Speaker 12: dollars a share, really thrilled at it at the time.
Speaker 12: Ten years later, brand that stock is priced at forty
Speaker 12: three dollars and eighty nine cents a share, He's not
Speaker 12: made a single penny. And I told him in that time,
Speaker 12: I mean, I've used United a couple of times during
Speaker 12: those days to make several thousand dollars in a day.
Speaker 12: But you know what, my students and I do are
Speaker 12: more of a trade traders versus investors.
Speaker 4: So I just wanted to know.
Speaker 1: I know you're right, and I do know that, and
Speaker 1: I should have more properly stated it. Was it right,
Speaker 1: That's okay, day trade fun, isn't it?
Speaker 6: It is?
Speaker 12: Orj ratlift dot comments how people around the world. I mean,
Speaker 12: we've got students now in Asia, Europe, South America, all
Speaker 12: over the United States. We have a lot of fun,
Speaker 12: and it's as long as they followed the rules. In fact,
Speaker 12: I got an email from a guy this morning and
Speaker 12: free market. He had twelve percent on one stock. He's
Speaker 12: off to the driving range, going to go play golf
Speaker 12: day over.
Speaker 1: So that's what it's all about. It just you take
Speaker 1: if you.
Speaker 12: Follow the rules, yes, but if you jump into it
Speaker 12: and don't know what you're doing, it can be horrific.
Speaker 12: And that's one of the reasons you need to learn
Speaker 12: before you do anything.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you teach people how to just be satisfied with
Speaker 1: the moment, take the money you got and get the
Speaker 1: hell out and be happy with it, because quite often
Speaker 1: in a short period of time you can make a
Speaker 1: week's worth of salary. You just don't want it to
Speaker 1: sit there for a long time and think you're gonna
Speaker 1: ride it up a lot higher than wherever you are anyway,
Speaker 1: the way.
Speaker 12: You and I've talked about that, and you can be
Speaker 12: incredibly good at what you do.
Speaker 1: Y You teach people that all the time. So a
Speaker 1: free plug for you. And I'm happy to be able
Speaker 1: to do that. And I just noticed other drunk people
Speaker 1: on planes. They caused so much problems. We got this
Speaker 1: idiot who has blastered out of his gore try to
Speaker 1: break into the cockpit of a jet. Easy jet flight
Speaker 1: going from London London Gatwick Airport in the UK, forcing it,
Speaker 1: of course to have to divert. He also tried to
Speaker 1: open an exit door. You know, it's people like this
Speaker 1: who are going to end up having alcohol prohibited on airplanes.
Speaker 12: Jay, Well, you know we and that comes up because look,
Speaker 12: we had another alcohol related event on American Airlines flight
Speaker 12: going Milwaukee to Dallas had to divert to Tulsa because
Speaker 12: this was yesterday or day before because the guy was
Speaker 12: vaping on the plane even though he shouldn't. He started
Speaker 12: chasing a flight attendant around and alcohol was involved here.
Speaker 12: And I've had many people say, Jay, all airlines have
Speaker 12: to do is to ban alcohol, and then we can
Speaker 12: elimitate and eliminate those problems. Some are saying all airports
Speaker 12: have to do is eliminate alcohol and we can avoid
Speaker 12: the problems on board the plane because a lot of
Speaker 12: people will get on the plane, you know, with several
Speaker 12: drinks already consumed. The issue with it is, though, and
Speaker 12: the bottom line remains, it's a revenue source for airports
Speaker 12: as well as it is for airlines. And an airline
Speaker 12: would say to us, look, if we have one situation
Speaker 12: out of two hundred and twenty five thousand passengers, right,
Speaker 12: And they're not super violence situations, just things we have
Speaker 12: to respond to. The revenue that we can create through this,
Speaker 12: plus the idea that alcohol can help some of our
Speaker 12: passengers who are anxious flyers.
Speaker 1: That's where I was going a little bit. That's where
Speaker 1: I was going. It would be worse without alcohol, because
Speaker 1: everybody who needs a talktail to get on a.
Speaker 12: See that on an advertisement. I can promise you that.
Speaker 12: But the bottom line is it's a revenue source in airlines.
Speaker 12: You're not going to mess with that.
Speaker 1: I understand that all day long. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: over to the luggage. You get a little problem with
Speaker 1: the fishermen.
Speaker 12: We had thirty of them coming back from a very
Speaker 12: successful fishing trip and Brian, they had two thousand pounds
Speaker 12: of freshly caught halib it that was in all of
Speaker 12: their They were probably in the styrofoam containers.
Speaker 1: That's what they tend to do.
Speaker 12: And you can put up to five and a half
Speaker 12: pounds of dry ice in there to keep it from spoiling,
Speaker 12: and no more than that. And remember a dry ice
Speaker 12: is a hazardous material, can only be in check luggage.
Speaker 12: You can only do it when you are in essence,
Speaker 12: well not check luggage only, but the ideas you have
Speaker 12: to declare it at the checking point so that the
Speaker 12: airlines know that you have it and when they check
Speaker 12: it to make sure it's no more than what you have.
Speaker 12: But the problem here was when these thirty fishermen got
Speaker 12: back from this successful trip into Seattle on the last airlines,
Speaker 12: their bags didn't arrive, so last Airlines couldn't find the fish.
Speaker 12: And of course, you know some of them are thinking, hey,
Speaker 12: somebody stole our fish. Ye, you've got crooked agent you
Speaker 12: and know all this kind of stuff. Well, the dry
Speaker 12: ice is going to buy you about eighteen to twenty
Speaker 12: four hours after that your toast. And believe me, I
Speaker 12: have removed bags off of airplane that have had fish
Speaker 12: in them that for many days delayed. It's just it's horrific.
Speaker 12: Can't get the smell out of your nose forever. And
Speaker 12: I don't know what you do with the clothing there.
Speaker 12: But these guys, finally the last airline said we located
Speaker 12: the luggage. It shows up days later and of course
Speaker 12: all the fish is boiled. Complain and Alaska Airlines because
Speaker 12: of their conditions of contract, Brian, they're not required to
Speaker 12: fully reimburse these fishermen. But to Alaska Airlines management credit,
Speaker 12: they said, look, we're going to reimburse you, and we're
Speaker 12: going to get you two thousand pounds of freshly caught
Speaker 12: hal of it. Now thirty six dollars a pound. Holy cow,
Speaker 12: seventy two grand is what it cost them. And when
Speaker 12: you recognize airlines make on a domestic flight a few
Speaker 12: hundred dollars at least at most on a passenger and profit,
Speaker 12: you're talking about them giving up the revenue from at
Speaker 12: least a full plane or a plane and a half
Speaker 12: is today airlines do not make a lot of money
Speaker 12: on flights. The fact is they have each aircraft running,
Speaker 12: you know, so many times. They have five hundred, one
Speaker 12: thousand departures a year, and you add a little bit
Speaker 12: of profit over all of those and it adds.
Speaker 4: Up to some significant gains. So this.
Speaker 12: Wasn't something that was maybe for our last airlines to do.
Speaker 1: And if they did props to Alaska, it's earning some
Speaker 1: good will off of that one. I doubt they're going
Speaker 1: to repeat that performance. I'm sure they'd much rather say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: you know there's no guarantee your bag going to arrive
Speaker 1: on time. The bags do get lost, and if you've
Speaker 1: got raw fish in there, we're not paying for it.
Speaker 1: But in any of that, we got another.
Speaker 12: Spacule, products or not, and you're right, goodwill it goes
Speaker 12: a long way. We had a country singer one time
Speaker 12: that was traveling with his guitar one to take it
Speaker 12: on board, could not. United forced him to check it
Speaker 12: and he was screaming no did it Anyways? United broke
Speaker 12: it and they wouldn't fully replace the value of the guitar.
Speaker 12: This guy wrote a song United Breaks Guitars. You go
Speaker 12: to YouTube and look at it, thirty or forty million views. Yeah,
Speaker 12: sometimes doing what's right would prevent some of those things
Speaker 12: from happening. United Breaks Guitars.
Speaker 1: That's a good video, that's great. Well names names in it.
Speaker 6: Oh, really good.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Now he's going to garner a bunch of
Speaker 1: more video views now that you mentioned on the air Jay,
Speaker 1: Now what about I know the airlines are very liberal
Speaker 1: with their dress codes and policies, and men can wear
Speaker 1: dresses if they're flight attendants and all that kind of crap,
Speaker 1: But I guess you're not allowed on a Delta flight
Speaker 1: with the Donald Trump shirt.
Speaker 6: Well, if the.
Speaker 12: Donald Trump shirt is flipping everybody off with both hands, yeah,
Speaker 12: that could be considered offensive. This happened in Sarasota, Florida.
Speaker 12: There's a guy that's wearing this image of Donald Trump
Speaker 12: who's just flipping everybody off with the two middle fingers up,
Speaker 12: and the Delta agent kind of pulled him off to
Speaker 12: the side said, look, we've had some people complain. They
Speaker 12: probably hated Trump anyway, it was their excuse, but they said, look,
Speaker 12: you're going to put another shirt on, or just turn
Speaker 12: it inside out until the flight's over and then turn
Speaker 12: it back and we're all good. So Delta was trying
Speaker 12: to do what they should have done, and they were
Speaker 12: totally within the right here, because if I've got a passenger,
Speaker 12: if I've got a shirt that says fu or whatever
Speaker 12: on there, that is explicit that other passengers could find offensive.
Speaker 12: No political discussion here, but just offensive or not. The
Speaker 12: airline is within their right to say, we're gonna have
Speaker 12: to ask you a change. If you've got a supermodel
Speaker 12: that's wearing a thong bikini, the airline's going to say
Speaker 12: you're gonna put on more clothes, because again, some people
Speaker 12: may find that offensive if somebody's not taking a bath
Speaker 12: in three months. I'm not saying I would, Brian. If
Speaker 12: somebody's not taking a bath in three months, Yeah, people
Speaker 12: could find that offensive. You're not gonna get on the plane.
Speaker 12: Somebody's had too much to drink. So it's subjective, yes,
Speaker 12: but it's pretty clear cut that if you are wearing
Speaker 12: something that other passengers could take offense at the airlines
Speaker 12: are going to say, look, you know, just let's just
Speaker 12: work with you to try to make something happen. And
Speaker 12: of course he gets off the plane and tweets it's
Speaker 12: a Trump thing. And look, if I'm the Delta agent
Speaker 12: and I had passengers coming to me on that, I
Speaker 12: would have the same discussion with a guy. But what
Speaker 12: happened was he turned it inside out and gets on
Speaker 12: the plane. And then he's on the plane and turns
Speaker 12: the shirt back around and as they're getting ready shut
Speaker 12: the door of the gate, agencies come on and then
Speaker 12: they get him off the flight and becomes a social
Speaker 12: media viral story. But yeah, again it's had been just
Speaker 12: a Donald Trump shirt, that's one thing, but this was
Speaker 12: something where it was an offensive image to some and
Speaker 12: I can certainly see the air Delta's position here. Airlines
Speaker 12: certainly lean against the Donald Trump's of the world big time.
Speaker 12: But here I don't think it was a bad call.
Speaker 1: Understood. Private company, they can make their own rules. They
Speaker 1: do not have an obligation to honor your First Amendment
Speaker 1: rights of free speech. Moving on, while I was in
Speaker 1: with hub delays, So how's it looking out there in
Speaker 1: terms of our ability to fly today?
Speaker 12: It can be a better day than the way he
Speaker 12: had yes yesterday. Text was getting absolutely hammered. May have
Speaker 12: some minor delays there, minor issues towards the northeast, but
Speaker 12: right I'm using the word minor, so I'm not even
Speaker 12: gonna mention them. It's gonna be a good day to fly,
Speaker 12: and the cooler temperature is going to make it maybe
Speaker 12: a little bit more comfortable for some people.
Speaker 6: Especially on the ramps.
Speaker 12: So yeah, I think all in all of today could
Speaker 12: be one of the better days of the week could
Speaker 12: we've had to fly.
Speaker 1: It's always a better day of a week. To talk
Speaker 1: to you on Thursday, Jay Ratloff, I appreciate you willingness
Speaker 1: to come on the program every week. Enjoy our conversations.
Speaker 1: I'll look forward to next Thursday and other conversation and

Speaker 1: with Americans for Prosperity this morning about Attorney General David
Speaker 1: jose letter to the Columbus schools demanding that they provide
Speaker 1: the bus service there. I think under law is supposed
Speaker 1: to provide two children going to charter schools. They were
Speaker 1: kind of against that anyway. Talked about that with Americans
Speaker 1: for Prosperity and at eight oh five we heard from
Speaker 1: Rn McIntyre with his book The Total State, How liberal
Speaker 1: democracies become tyrannies. And of course Jay Ratliffe podcast at
