We get Jackatherdon 24 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:31.680 big story with Jack and added and coming up at 25 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.879 seven oh five. Don't know what he's want to talk 26 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:40.319 about Santa's politics. It's real, they're interesting. So we'll hear 27 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.719 from Jack on that insightful, brilliant man he is. And 28 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.879 I always enjoy having Jack on the program. A dear, dear, 29 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.959 dear friend and good man. Bring him Accowen Hudson in 30 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.799 stud he returns. He's been on many times over the years. Today, 31 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:59.799 Trump's energy policies. Gregham certainly knows about energy policies. Congressman, 32 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.879 my favorite hour of radio. And today at eighth five, 33 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.560 Congressman Thomas Massey, followed by Judge Aninapoulatana. Today, Congress mass 34 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.639 He's going to be speaking about Syria, his opposition to 35 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.560 Trump's choice for the DEA head and uh Elon and 36 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.439 Vvk Rama swim in the Doge program, which I embrace. 37 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.159 I think it's an awesome idea. Just because Elon and 38 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.360 Vvik say it, just because Elon and Vivek identify it, 39 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.039 just because Elon and Vivek say it's a waste of 40 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.439 money doesn't mean Congress has to act. But being outside 41 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.919 government and not intelected capacity and not drawing a salary 42 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.080 from government. They're just like I don't know, like op 43 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.319 ed opinion commentators, but elevated to a level of national 44 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.759 focus given their prominence and their unbelievably amazing business prowess 45 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.800 as demonstrated by their well, absolute wonderful success in the 46 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.879 world of independent private business on their own and doing 47 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.280 whatever they can to make money. They're very successful, so 48 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.400 they know how that's accomplished. So I'm not sure what 49 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.240 Congress mass He has to say about it. I'm looking 50 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.400 forward to talking with him, So stick around for Radio 51 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:18.879 five on half and then judgment Politano, will Trump stop 52 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.400 domestic spying? We can only help, but I doubt it's 53 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.560 going to happen. And it wasn't quite sure where I 54 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.199 wanted to start this morning, And for some reason, I 55 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.840 have this wonderful op ed from Corey Brooks noted pastor. 56 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.719 I have United Health executives shooting, heightens debate over three 57 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.560 D printed ghost guns, and then this whole thing going 58 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.439 on in New Jersey as well as elsewhere about drones 59 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:53.199 flying around. How do those three lay on top of 60 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.639 my stack to dive on into this morning? Well, I'll 61 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.199 see if I can make any sense out of it, 62 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.120 and I'm not quite sure I can. First off, just 63 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.759 you have to we live in an insane period of time. 64 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.599 Technology has advanced so rapidly that I think mankind is 65 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.800 just as incapable of keeping up with it, or coping 66 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.879 with it, or dealing with it. And it's the coping 67 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.600 part that I was thinking of. All Right, there are 68 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.040 drones out there. You can't stop the fact that there 69 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.600 are drones. You could buy one yourself, Go ahead, hop 70 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.839 on Amazon and buy one. Of course, government has much 71 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.839 greater resources and money and can make them work together 72 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.160 and coordinate them. And of course they have the money 73 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.879 and technology to mount firearms on them and bombs on 74 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.079 them and use them in warfare. You and I can't 75 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.480 do that yet, I underscore the word. Yet. I imagine 76 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.519 there's going to be a time, not that far down 77 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.800 the road, and probably within my lifetime, where I could 78 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.399 go online, buy a drone and mount some sort of 79 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:04.480 weapon on it by myself without a license or in 80 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:12.480 spite of a law or license requirement, and do some 81 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.160 harm with that. 82 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.439 Can you cope with that? 83 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.160 Because I know right now that I am capable of 84 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.439 although I don't own one, and I have no desire 85 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.879 to own a three D printer. I know they're very, 86 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.839 very affordable these days. Used to be that they were 87 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.959 way out of the realm of anyone going out and 88 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.959 buying one. Oh my god, a three D printer? Are 89 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.959 you kidding me? Those things cost tens of thousands of dollars. Hey, 90 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:40.319 get out of the store and buy one for a 91 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.040 few hundred bucks. 92 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:41.279 Now. 93 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.040 I don't know if that's kind of printer that can 94 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:48.199 print a gun out, but they're out there. People do 95 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.920 them all the time. We have a world where the 96 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.199 Internet has connected everyone. Oh there's that pesky internet again, 97 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.240 another amazing technological advance that has just sort of blown 98 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.439 people's mind. You can talk to someone in China right now, 99 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.560 real time, you know, I mean ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, 100 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.839 how far back you want to go? That would have 101 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.160 been a little difficult. You also would have had to 102 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.319 pay Mobel or some telephone company for the additional expense 103 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.519 of a long distance call. 104 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:16.720 Now it's free. 105 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.279 People have been posting radical documents and you know the 106 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.720 rules for radicals how to make bombs hell. I seem 107 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.279 to recall at one point reading that if you go 108 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:35.399 online and search enough, you can find blueprints and plants 109 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.399 on how to make a nuclear weapon now as anybody 110 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.279 doing that, well, I know the Iranians have been busy 111 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.199 working on nuclear bombs for quite some time. Maybe step 112 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:46.879 back a little bit and a lot of what's going 113 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.000 on in Syria as well as elsewhere in the Middle East. 114 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.920 But you know, the world is a smaller place and 115 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:59.079 the information is abundant. It's everywhere, and for those with 116 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:06.319 the resources or underscore the word motivation to do harm 117 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.720 to another human being. You know, you can print a 118 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.959 gun and shoot a CEO in the back? Is that 119 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.839 going to be transformative for the world? As I see 120 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:19.439 all these journalists, you know, praising them, college professors praising 121 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:25.240 this murderer of a CEO. United Healthcare exists for a reason, 122 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.800 and you know, you may hate them for what they do. 123 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:32.800 They do deny claims, but they manage claims and they 124 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:41.360 try try to allocate what are genuinely scarce resources the 125 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:48.560 dollars to pay claims when claims are properly payable, and 126 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.160 deny claims when they're not. Have you ever notice there 127 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.920 are a lot of physicians out in the world that 128 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.560 will well, maybe order too many medical tests, maybe keep 129 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.560 you in the hospital for too long. A lot of 130 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.319 nefarious actors out there, top to bottom. It's not just 131 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.639 the CEOs of United Healthcare, which we're trying to maintain 132 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.720 the company. Oh my god, but he makes millions of dollars. Yeah, 133 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.000 I know, Is that right? 134 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:11.680 Well? 135 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:13.959 I suppose if you are going to be the person 136 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:18.120 that's drawing the ire of every single human being who's 137 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.399 ever had a medical claim denied, then maybe you need 138 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.560 to be paid that much to even take the position. 139 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.399 I don't know, nobody's ever offered me a job that 140 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.439 pays that kind of money. I don't know what I'd 141 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:30.839 be willing to do for that kind of job. In fact, 142 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:37.000 I probably wouldn't take it. But this advance of technology 143 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.200 is something that seems to me we're either not capable 144 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.360 of dealing with, or alternatively, it's just being used for 145 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.600 nefarious purposes in lieu of technology that didn't exist previously. 146 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.879 For example, as I read the story about ghost guns 147 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.759 and the genies out of the bottle on that, it's 148 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.039 kind of one of the reasons I even brought this up. 149 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:07.919 You can't unring that bell. Blueprints are out there, and 150 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.799 do you think taking away three D printers would solve 151 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.759 the problem. For all the good that they do and 152 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:19.480 all the amazing things that those are capable of on 153 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:24.240 a nonviolent, non nefarious level, No, I think society's better 154 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.360 off because we have three D printing technology. Hell, they 155 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:32.360 basically three D print buildings. Now it's pretty cool if 156 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.840 I've ever seen that, by the way, it's rather amazing. 157 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.559 But that it can be used for nefarious purposes, people 158 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.480 freak out, like, oh my god, I got to do 159 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.600 something about this. The drones flying around over New Jersey? 160 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:52.320 Where'd those come from? No idea? Are they nefariously being used? 161 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.440 Are they being used as spy or is it just 162 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.799 some chucklehead out there who's got a brand new drone 163 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.480 and he's flying around car Ajuago golf course or flying 164 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.799 around New Jersey just to kind of freak people out 165 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.519 for the sake of getting in the press. I don't know. 166 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.159 But they're out there and you can't unring the bells. 167 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:13.840 So we're gonna have to learn to evolve as a 168 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:25.320 society and deal with this technology. But fundamentally, it's the 169 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:31.600 motivation that's the problem, isn't it. Where do evil people 170 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.240 come from? Why are they willing to do this kind 171 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:40.519 of thing. Is it the technology itself that motivates people 172 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:44.919 to evil or do they harbor evil intent? And then 173 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.000 just look around and say, you know what about twenty 174 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.799 five years ago, I couldn't three D print myself a gun, 175 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.960 but I could go down to the local sporting goods 176 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.279 store and buy a baseball bat, or go down to 177 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.080 the local hardware store and buy a hatchet and walk 178 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.600 up behind some guy walking down the street in New 179 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.720 York City that I think I need to kill for 180 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.480 some stupid reason and just hit him in the back 181 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.879 of the head with it and kill him. And as 182 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.399 close as this idiot was, he could have done that. 183 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.840 I mean, you've seen the video. He's like five feet 184 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.519 behind the CEO and he just shoots him in the back. 185 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.840 If he'd took four steps forward and had a hatchet 186 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.600 in his hand, he could have put it in the 187 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.399 back of the guy's head and would have had the 188 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:36.480 exact same result. Why did he do it? Just killing 189 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.480 the CEO of United Healthcare? Change the healthcare system? 190 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.039 Now? 191 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.679 Are there still limited dollars available for the payment of 192 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.639 healthcare claims? 193 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:48.879 Yep? 194 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.039 What did we do before there was even medical insurance? 195 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.320 Did we deal with our problems. Yeah, we died at 196 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:03.480 a younger age probably, but we rolled with it. That 197 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.519 was the society we lived in. That was where technology 198 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:12.320 was right. I just this, I don't know. I'm just 199 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.360 as I stare at my stack this morning and looking around, 200 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.600 it just seems to me so much insanity and people 201 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.360 pulling their hair out over really the realities of the 202 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.440 modern world that we live in, and that the evil 203 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:30.360 people which have existed since Cain slew able right, you 204 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.360 can go back to the beginning of time. If you're 205 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.120 a biblical person, you leave that actually happened, That was 206 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:42.679 a real event. There's always people with chips on the 207 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.399 shoulder to think it's the right thing to do to 208 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.440 murder someone. You're not of my tribe. 209 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.879 Kill you, you're not for my neighborhood. Kill you. 210 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.279 You're not the same color skin as I am. Kill you. 211 00:12:55.639 --> 00:13:02.440 The mechanisms have changed of technology has allowed people to, yes, 212 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:12.279 perhaps more easily, but for the same underlying stupid motives, 213 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.639 slay their fellow man or commit the farious acts against 214 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:24.240 mankind just because they harbor some I would argue, in 215 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.519 the vast majority of cases, ridiculous position. I don't know, 216 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.960 Like I said, I wasn't quite sure where I wanted 217 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.840 to begin this morning. But Corey Brooks says, this wonderful 218 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:43.039 op ed piece about Jordan Neely's father playing a role 219 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.159 in his death, and boy did he hit the nail 220 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.720 on the head on that one. Five one, three, seven, 221 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.919 four nine, fifty five hundred two three talk. It is 222 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.320 five to eighteen right now, fifty five kc DE talks 223 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:53.159 they should be right back. 224 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.919 Fifty five KRC. First Financial Bank. 225 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.799 Channel nine says we have well overcasts, colder this morning. 226 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:04.600 A little bit of light. 227 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:09.759 Snow should be over by about eight this morning. Today's 228 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:14.159 high thirty four spotty snow. After three pm Overy night, 229 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.799 a little of eighteen snow will fade. It'll be colder 230 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.159 though obviously Tomorrow mostly Sunday Day. 231 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:21.759 I have twenty nine Thursday night. 232 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.399 It's going to be a little twenty two with a 233 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:24.600 few clowns on Friday. 234 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.279 I'm mostly Friday Day going up to forty. 235 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.840 Three right now about it thirty two degrees if you 236 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.240 buy per CEV talk station five twenty two. And a 237 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.480 happy Wednesday too. 238 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:38.840 Anyway. 239 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.519 I have a personal tradition I always watch a Christmas 240 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.759 story every year. The older one than I think it's 241 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.720 nineteen thirty eight version. I always get moved by that. 242 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.159 So you got three spirits coming in the middle of 243 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:52.360 the night. Yeah, you have to have a sort of 244 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.360 belief in the afterlife for that to actually work, because 245 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:57.399 if you don't believe there is an afterlife, you're not 246 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:01.519 worried about being chained to a bunch of chains because 247 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:06.000 you were an idiot during life. Right makes a good point, though, 248 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:10.559 But opportunity for redemption revealed to Ebenezer Scrooge because he 249 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.639 was visited by three spirits in the night, changed and 250 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:18.120 transformed his life. Sometimes there's no one around to do that, right. 251 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.440 So with that, I turned to Corey Brooks, who's a 252 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:26.679 pastor known as the Rooftop Pastor, founder and a senior 253 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.919 pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago, CEO of this 254 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:37.320 thing called Project Hood helping others obtain destiny and that 255 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.080 and he has a mission is a Chicago pastor. So 256 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.480 he writes, Jordan Neely's father played a role in his death. 257 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:47.440 Don't ignore America's fatherhood crisis. And this is where I 258 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.919 substitute the three spirits for the fathers that are absent 259 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.679 in the lives of young people. The ones that are 260 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:55.960 there to provide guidance. And if you watch Christmas Story, 261 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.840 remember Ebany's the Scoos was left at school. All of 262 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.480 the schoolmates went home for Christmas, and for whatever reason, 263 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.840 his dad was a total fill in the blank with 264 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.120 your favorite FCC no compliant word. He wasn't invited, he 265 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.519 was left alone. Maybe that had an impact on his 266 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.240 life and why he turned into into such a jerk 267 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.039 in life later. 268 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:14.799 I don't know. 269 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.320 Fathers are very important, and he writes, it's fair to 270 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.960 say that the New York City resident Jordan Neely was 271 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.840 born unlucky. Jordan Neely obviously the guy who was ended 272 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.559 up in a choke hold. Neeli was living on the 273 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.840 streets when he died, was Fox News report. He had 274 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.679 with a lengthy criminal history and shouted death threats in 275 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.159 a subway car before he was subdued and choked out. 276 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.639 He was just fourteen years old. Neely's mother was murdered 277 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:46.120 by her abusive boyfriend. The murderer left her body in 278 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.039 the suitcase on the side of a New York City 279 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.200 Henry Hudson parkway. Young Neely had to testify in court 280 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.360 on his mother mother's behalf imagine how that traumatizes the 281 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.879 young mind. Then he was immediately placed in a foster 282 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.799 care As an orphan, one is lucky to find love 283 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.240 or human compassion within the foster care system, and it 284 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.359 is likely that Neelie did not. Despite possessing enough talent 285 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:13.160 to impersonate Michael Jackson on subway platforms throughout New York City, 286 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.000 nearly struggled with homelessness, drug abuse, and mental health issues 287 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.400 including depression and schizophrenia, who is also arrested forty two 288 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.440 times for petty larsony, jumping, subway termstyles, and three assaults 289 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.759 on women. When he finally met his fate in the 290 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.119 New York City subway, car and marine veteran Daniel Penny 291 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.359 was charged with his death. New York City leaders from 292 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:42.000 Representative Alexandria Casio Cortes and Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado shut up. 293 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:46.440 At a funeral, activists and MSNBC host Al Sharpton delivered 294 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:51.559 eulogy where he predictably blamed systemic racism for Neelie's death. 295 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.960 At the time, I said this would be again, Reverend 296 00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:58.319 Corey Brooks. 297 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:00.799 Where were all of you when he was alive? 298 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.920 Then I recently learned that Jordan's father, Andrea Zachary, filed 299 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.039 a lawsuit against Daniel Penny that demands judgment awarding damages 300 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.799 in a son which exceeds the jurisdictional limits of all 301 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:21.680 lower courts which would otherwise have jurisdiction. Now I was incensed. 302 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.000 Where the heck was Zachary all these years? Why did 303 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.880 he do for his What did he do for his 304 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.960 son who had to witness an abusive relationship? Where was 305 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.000 he when his son was shipped off of the foster 306 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.440 care system? Where was he all those years when his 307 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.960 son was in the system? Did he visit even once? 308 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.599 Where was he when his son got out? Where the 309 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:45.640 heck was he when his son was dealing with his 310 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.720 demons all by himself and drifting in and out of homelessness? 311 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.559 And now he shows up when his son is cold 312 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.720 and buried. To be clear, he didn't show up for Jordan. 313 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.400 He showed up for himself. Andrea Zachary was ever a 314 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.720 father in any meaningful way and does not deserve that 315 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.519 precious title. This angers me in ways that most people 316 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.640 wouldn't understand. I minister and work on the South Side 317 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.079 of Chicago, and I understand more than most. How detrimental 318 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.319 the absentee father has been to our community. I work 319 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.920 with them every day. I counsel them on how God 320 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.559 has blessed them with children, and how it is their 321 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:30.599 sacred responsibility to be there and raise the child. I 322 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:35.000 provide these young men with pathways to opportunities. I've seen 323 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:40.279 them leave paths of destruction to become forklift operators and 324 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:45.599 construction workers. Some have even returned to college while working 325 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.200 a full time job. And you see, that's where I 326 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.440 pause and made the connection with the Christmas story. This 327 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:55.359 man is basically the three spirits who visited Ebenezer Scrooge 328 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.359 in the night, providing counsel and guidance and direction for 329 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.079 men who have obviously lost their way. 330 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:07.559 He continues, These men are good men. 331 00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:14.400 They were lost, but the possibility of redemption was within them, 332 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.319 and they simply needed a nudge in the right direction. 333 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.480 They are nothing like the lost soul that Andre and 334 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.599 Andrea Zachary still is. While I would never turn my 335 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.039 back fully on any man, that man has never shown 336 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.960 one ounce of fatherhood. I know there are those who 337 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:35.960 will try to use rays to excuse him because he's black, 338 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.920 but that is immoral. Almost every absentee father I deal 339 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.680 with his black If I allow that to be an excuse, 340 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:47.079 then where would we be as a society. That is 341 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:50.640 why I stand here and hold Andrea Zachary fully accountable 342 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:53.359 for his actions. He played a role in his son's death. 343 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.599 That is what he needs to acknowledge if he wants 344 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:01.759 to make it right with a far higher power than money, God. 345 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.119 If he chooses this unholy pursuit of money, then we 346 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.000 must make an example out of him. Pastor Corey Brooks, 347 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.680 thank you for the inspiration.

Terry Styles, 373 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.880 Zachary Stump, and Caitlin Hall arrested yesterday in connection with 374 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.960 the fire at the one thousand Hands playground in Sawyer 375 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.480 Point Park. Officials said none of the people arrested are homeless. 376 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.680 That's where his words are written. Despite the fire sparking 377 00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.480 new debate about homeless encampments around Cincinnati, it has been 378 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.839 widely discussed behind the scenes by folks in the know 379 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.039 that may aftamp Pervall may have removed the homeless from 380 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.680 the Greater Cincinnati area and directed them to beneath the 381 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.519 Big Mac Bridge in order to clean the place up. 382 00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:23.400 For blink. I don't know if that's true or not. 383 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.640 I've just heard that so many times now I'm starting 384 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:32.519 to believe it. You draw your own conclusions anyway. Court 385 00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:36.400 records show that Zachary Stumped twenty three Terry Styles thirty nine, 386 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.079 now facing aggravated arson charges based on video and witness 387 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:44.519 statements both in health to Hemlin County jail gourd to 388 00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.640 court doguments. Stump intentionally set a fire on a playground 389 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:52.960 located underneath an interstate overpass. Styles also intentionally set a 390 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.240 fire at eight oh one East Pete Roseway, quote creating 391 00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.599 a substantial risk of serious physical harm to all of 392 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:04.319 the mosts above. And this I thought was odd, including 393 00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:09.400 the driver of a freightliner flatbed toe truck. Now how 394 00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:13.720 they singled that particular vehicle out for specific targeting, But 395 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.880 they got to prove it in court anyway. A court 396 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.720 record show Hall facing two counts of obstructing justice after 397 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.640 she allegedly gave misleading information to investigators about Styles and 398 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.799 Stump during the arson investigation. Hall also currently booked at 399 00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:32.119 the Hamilton County Justice Center. Hall quote was asked questions 400 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:35.039 about styles telephone number and his whereabouts, and she gave 401 00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:39.359 the investigators false information. Another court document says she was 402 00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:43.279 asked questions about her friendship of greater than six years 403 00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.119 and denied knowing Stump's last name, when in fact she 404 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.279 was where of that information Style Stump Hall expected to 405 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:53.480 be in court this morning for those folks that don't 406 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.799 have anything to do. Oh congratulations.

It's been 426 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.640 widely reported. It was in the local stories. Joe Burrow's 427 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.279 home got broke into while he was playing football. And 428 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.759 to my listeners out there who think it's a bright 429 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.920 idea to go ahead and post on social media that 430 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.440 you were leaving town and going out of town for 431 00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:20.400 the next couple of weeks, probably not a good idea. 432 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.960 I mean, everybody knows the Bengals football schedule and knows 433 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:28.160 that the players will be out of town or at 434 00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:33.039 least occupied if they're playing at home at Peykhorse Stadium, 435 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.640 meaning maybe no one's home. And in the past, you know, 436 00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.680 it was something that the criminals used to do. They 437 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.200 would read obituaries and find out where funerals were going 438 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:43.839 to be and break into people's homes while they knew 439 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.720 you were at the funeral. That was the old school 440 00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.319 way to do it before the internet. Don't voluntarily tell 441 00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.319 everyone you're not going to be at home. 442 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:53.200 It's a bad idea. 443 00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:55.440 If you're not going to be at home and you're 444 00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.240 telling people, make sure someone's at your home. Always have 445 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:01.960 someone at our house whenever we go out of town 446 00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:08.039 watching the house. I'm you choose your own direction of life. 447 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.759 It just seems to be common sense information. Just don't 448 00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.440 telegraph it to the world. We live in a very 449 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.799 small world where literally anyone in the world can read 450 00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:20.559 your social media posts and know you're out of town. 451 00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:25.400 Dadnyhow over to the stack of stupid Florida was starting Florida. 452 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.000 Twenty three year old allegedly shot his mom and killed 453 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.880 his dad after an argument about a video game as 454 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:36.039 well as getting a job. 455 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:37.960 I know. 456 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:40.839 Fifty eight year old Susan Voyd called nine one one 457 00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:45.240 about twelve twenty minutes after eleven December seventh report that 458 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.720 her son, twenty three year old Joseph Voyd, had shot 459 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:53.000 her and her husband, Marvin.

We are here in the 557 00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:31.960 state of Ohio. Ohio lawmaker wants to make it a 558 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:36.200 felony to plan a flag in the center of Ohio Stadium. 559 00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:38.960 This after the fight that broke out between Ohio State 560 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.480 and Michigan players after the Wolverines tried to plan a 561 00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:48.000 flag on Ohio State University's field. Following the Buckeyes loss 562 00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.720 Big ten find Ohio State and Michigan one hundred thousand 563 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:58.640 dollars each of the team's role in the fight, identified 564 00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:00.839 as I don't see you got to get an award 565 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:03.000 this morning, Joe, I'm waiting to see a few roll a. 566 00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:06.960 State Representative Josh Williams, Republican out of Slovania Township, introduced 567 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:13.599 the Ohio periods after each Ohio Sportsmanship Act yesterday, and 568 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.239 according to Columbus because Dispatch, he could not be reached 569 00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:20.119 for comment, maybe because he was cowering recognizing how stupid 570 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.679 this felon e bill would be. House Bill seven hundred 571 00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:26.800 would prohibit planning a flagpole and flag in the center 572 00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.960 of the Ohio Stadium football field on the day of 573 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.800 a college football game. And to name this act the 574 00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:35.440 Ohio Sportsmanship Act. 575 00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:43.280 Period the biggest douche of the universe. In all the galaxies, 576 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:48.159 there's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top, 577 00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:54.400 the pinnacle of douche dump. Good going, douche, Your dreams 578 00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:56.800 have come true. 579 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.800 What of the Columbus dispatcher report of the bill doesn't 580 00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:03.559 have much hope. At least the corner of the House 581 00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:11.800 Speaker Stason Stevens Joseph said about the colossal waste of 582 00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:15.119 taxpayer money. I agree with you, drecker on that one. 583 00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.199 Over to the United Kingdom again for the stack of stupid. 584 00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:24.079 Authorities there recovered a stolen van filled with two thousand, 585 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:29.760 five hundred pies, described it as an unusual food heightst 586 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.400 that went wrong. Value of the pies estimated at twenty 587 00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:35.880 five thousand British pounds that be thirty two thousand American 588 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.239 food items. Owned by Tommy Banks, a restaurant tour hero 589 00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:43.079 owns to Michelin Start Establishments, vehicle which was filled with 590 00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:48.400 steak and ale pies as well as turkey and butternut variety, 591 00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.920 supposed to head to a Christmas market in York. Theft 592 00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.400 for the pies caused a stir on social media earlier 593 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:57.880 in the week, leading Banks to call on his followers 594 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:03.519 to find the lost pies, phrasing thieves, keep your eyes 595 00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:05.679 on the pies, Banks wrote on x before the van 596 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.280 was found. Help find the pies. Let's try and recover 597 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:11.639 them and feed some people. You also asked the thieves 598 00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:13.440 to do the right thing and drop the pies off 599 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.960 at a community center so the food wouldn't go to waste. 600 00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.159 Pies were left in the stolen van, he said, but 601 00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:23.159 were too damaged to be eaten or sold. He confirmed 602 00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:25.880 the van was insured, but was bothered by the loss 603 00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:32.559 of the pies, calling you so much waste, it's just rubbish. Sorry, 604 00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:38.320 it's not a happier ending to the story. In a 605 00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:40.960 related incident in October, a group of thieves that posed 606 00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:44.400 this wholesale distributors sold stole over nine hundred and fifty 607 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:55.119 wheels of English cheddar.

That's sick, just disgusted with the 623 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:46.079 realities that I'm sitting in front of big story with 624 00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:48.199 Jack Addan coming up at seven oh five, one hour 625 00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:51.119 from now.

Wouldrigh McCown on 628 00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:03.119 the Hudson Institute about Trump's energy policies. Maybe it'll be 629 00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:07.000 saner than the Biden administration's policies. A great hour eight 630 00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.639 oh five. My favorite back to back interviews Congressman Thomas Massey. 631 00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:13.239 Here we talking about Syria, his opposition of Trump's choice 632 00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:16.639 for the DEA head, and his thoughts on Doge, the 633 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.119 Elon Musk VvE Gramma swimming effort to pair back the 634 00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.519 size and scope of government. I have to imagine he's 635 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.960 in favor of that. I can't think of a reason 636 00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:28.280 why Congressman Massi wouldn't welcome that kind of thing. We'll 637 00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.400 find out together. And of course, Judge Enna Polatano every 638 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:36.199 Wednesday a thirty, will Trump stop domestic spying? I wouldn't 639 00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:39.519 hold my breath waiting for it. That is the topic 640 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:41.320 of his uh OP ed piece. 641 00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:41.639 Today. 642 00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:44.480 We'll talk with Judge Ennita Politano again at a thirty 643 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:47.039 fifty five. Carsey dot Com for the podcast when you 644 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.519 can't listen Live, great show yesterday thanks to Joe's trek, 645 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:53.119 We'll got the inside scoop with breitbarton News. Excuse me, 646 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.440 still have a little bit of cough. Joe Pollock talking 647 00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:01.920 about Syria. Daniel Davis d Dive also talking about Syria. 648 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:05.360 That is an interesting thing going on. There perhaps an 649 00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:07.760 unusual word to ascribe to it, but it is just 650 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:11.239 an unfolding mess and we are going to be dealing 651 00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:13.000 with the aftermath of that. And I can only hope 652 00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:16.239 that it turns into perhaps a coalition government, a stable 653 00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.360 form of government where each of these warning factions might 654 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:23.840 have a say in the direction of the country, although 655 00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:26.559 I wouldn't hold my breath thinking that's going to happen. 656 00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.480 Christopher Smith Aman with an excellent Smith event on the 657 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:33.320 Daniel Penny acquittal, which he of course approved of the 658 00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:36.440 acquittal that is, and going back to the op ed 659 00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.000 piece by the Reverend that I'd read in the top 660 00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:41.800 of the hour, maybe if Dad was around, rather than 661 00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:45.719 just a little gloming on with a civil lawsuit after 662 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.440 his son with whom he had practically, if not zero relationship, 663 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:52.440 a bit of an opportunitist. 664 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:53.000 That man. 665 00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:56.679 It's disgusting when you really look behind the vinear five three, seven, 666 00:39:57.079 --> 00:39:59.079 nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to 667 00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.599 three taco if I fifty on AT and T funds 668 00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:05.840 and maybe consider not going to college. And we see 669 00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:07.599 this kind of thing all the time. We all know 670 00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:10.119 what opinions are like. With opinions like sphincters, we all 671 00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:14.400 have one. And with the murder of United Healthcare CEO 672 00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.880 Brian Thompson, an opportunity for a lot radical left wing 673 00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:24.199 college professors to chime in and praise, praise the murderer, 674 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:28.840 Luigi Mangioni for killing the United Healthcare CEO who was 675 00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.880 doing nothing but his job, a job that he was 676 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:33.360 paid for it. Maybe paid too much, that's your decision. 677 00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.280 But I suppose if you're under threat of death constantly 678 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.480 because you work for a health insurance company, maybe you 679 00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:43.719 need to be paid that much anyway. In addition to 680 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:49.159 college professors, social media flooded with posts celebrating or mocking 681 00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:55.199 Thompson's killing as justified because some people are angry about 682 00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:59.079 their health insurance claims being denied. And I understand being 683 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.480 angry about it. It's a complicated system. Ask yourself why 684 00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:05.719 at today a complicated and try to look back in time. 685 00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.679 We didn't have massive health insurance companies and the government 686 00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:13.119 intervention wasn't so widespread that the cost of doing business 687 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:18.320 and healthcare went through the roof over the years. And 688 00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:20.920 there's also plane eff lawyers out there which helped, and 689 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:25.000 there's some unscrupulous doctors out there which helped. We'd go 690 00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:27.400 on and on and on about the problems inherent in 691 00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:34.599 the system. Anyway, after Mangioni, the murderers alleged taking the 692 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:43.679 custody you penned, Professor Julia Alexsavia close enough shared her 693 00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:46.719 thoughts and opinions on social media, which she probably shouldn't 694 00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:49.360 have done it. She posts under the name the Soviet, 695 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:59.199 which I think gives you an indication of her political affiliation. Anyhow, 696 00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.800 have never been a producer, A prouder to be a 697 00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:07.960 professor at the University of Pennsylvania, she re quoted. She's 698 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:12.639 an assistant professor of English and Cinema and Media Studies 699 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.920 at the university. Identifies herself as a of out socialists 700 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:22.320 and ardent anti fascist on her website. Anyway, after celebrating 701 00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:25.480 the murder of the CEO. Obviously, there was a lot 702 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.400 of response to that, much of it negative, and of 703 00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.679 course she had to remove her social media posts after 704 00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:36.360 posting them, so she has an opinion like everybody. It's 705 00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:39.960 quite revealing though, and honestly, I'm glad we have the 706 00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:42.400 Internet so these idiots can go ahead and make stupid 707 00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:45.119 statements on them, so we know exactly where they stand, 708 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:48.639 celebrating the murder of an innocent man merely for doing 709 00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:51.119 his job, which allows me to pivot over to the 710 00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.639 Wall Street Journal again, the editorial bird commenting on this 711 00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:59.840 the madness of Luigi Mangione, sort of continuing the theme 712 00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:03.480 for the last hour, and they write the rest of 713 00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:05.760 the twenty six year old Luigi Mangioni in the charge 714 00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.239 of murdering the Healthcare ceo ends the hunt for the 715 00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:11.159 mysterious man with a hoodie. But what it doesn't solve 716 00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:14.199 is the mystery of why an intelligent, well liked young 717 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:16.559 man who had much to live for would allegedly shoot 718 00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:19.519 a stranger in the back on New York City Street. 719 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.719 When possible explanation is the had some kind of mental break, 720 00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:26.679 as many young men do in their twenties. The fact 721 00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:29.280 of his life in recent years are coming fast and 722 00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.119 perhaps too furious to trust on the fly, But it 723 00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:36.119 appears that a back injury followed by surgery had left 724 00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:39.039 him in pain and frustrated. He'd become isolated from family 725 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:44.360 and longtime friends, as many young men also do. He 726 00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:50.360 trafficked in theories of exploitation and blame that dominate the 727 00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:55.079 corners of the Internet. He saw wisdom, not madness, in 728 00:43:55.119 --> 00:44:01.119 the writing of Ted Kazinsky, the notorious unibomber. The manifesto 729 00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:04.239 that mister Mangioni allegedly wrote and the authorities say they 730 00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:08.360 found on his arrest railed against the US healthcare system. 731 00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:14.840 Perhaps he saw himself as an avenging hero who would 732 00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:17.440 take on the system. This is a common trait of 733 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:21.280 young men, and they are mostly young and men who 734 00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:26.920 justify violence with the perverse logic of a cause. It 735 00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.599 doesn't take much for a disturbed individual to pick up 736 00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:35.719 the populis theme of blaming seemingly distant and faceless corporations 737 00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:39.599 for social ills and flipping a metal switch into murder. 738 00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:43.760 Internet sites and podcasts on the right and left often 739 00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:49.440 marinate these resentments. Yet the man mister Mangioni shot was 740 00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:55.840 neither faceless nor distant. He was Brian Thompson, a married 741 00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:58.599 father of two who was walking to a business meeting 742 00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.639 several feet away from the shooter. He was doing what 743 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:06.519 his company, United Healthcare and its shareholders asked him to do. 744 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:11.800 He was like the Unibomber's targets, innocent. I don't know 745 00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:14.800 if he recalled the unibomber. He would send these handmade 746 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:18.840 bombs to random college professors. They would open them. 747 00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:19.960 Up and they would blow up. 748 00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.719 I don't understand how he picked his targets. I'm not 749 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:26.280 that familiar with Ted Kazinsky and his insanity, but he 750 00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:29.360 was clearly insane. But the people he murdered had nothing, 751 00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:33.920 no connection with Kazinski, and they were literally murdered random. 752 00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:39.599 It's a dreadful sign of the times that mister Mangiuni 753 00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.119 is being celebrated in too many places as a worthy 754 00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:50.559 avenger instead of an allegedly deranged killer college professors. But 755 00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:56.000 that is how our culture has degraded, agged on for 756 00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:59.800 political purposes or audience ratings by many who know better. 757 00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:06.119 Ryan Thompson's sons will never see him again. Mister man 758 00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:08.199 Jenny face is a murder charge in New York that 759 00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:10.239 could send him to prison for the rest of his life. 760 00:46:11.039 --> 00:46:13.960 Anyone who sees that as anything other than a tragedy 761 00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:20.880 deserves the scorn that we hope they receive. Amen well, 762 00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:24.440 stated Wall Street Journal again continuing with him. You're on 763 00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:26.559 the fifty five KRECE morning show.

You know you may have already 772 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.280 fired it up for the year. That does not mean 773 00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:56.280 it's safe. How long has it been since you had 774 00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:59.960 your fireplace inspected? Or your free standing stove, self feeding 775 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:03.400 wood waste pellet stove. That's what it's all about. Chimneycare fireplaces. 776 00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:06.239 Though since nineteen eighty eight, a plus of the Better 777 00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:09.360 Business Bureau can inspect it make sure it's all safe. 778 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:11.400 They'll do a video camera inspection of the flu make 779 00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:13.320 sure there's no water damage going on in there. And 780 00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:15.639 that's something you may not even know about, but it 781 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:18.599 could be clogged. Squirrels build nests. You might need your 782 00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:21.599 cap in damper replace. You may need a chimney cap replaced. 783 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:24.360 Sometimes there's a problem in there and you got to 784 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:26.599 take care of your safety because it could be a 785 00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:31.679 deadly outcome. Get yourself a carbon monoxide detector, please dear God. 786 00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:35.920 That is a valuable investment and a very inexpensive life 787 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:39.679 saving thing, those carbon monoxide detectors. But regardless of what 788 00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:41.880 type of firebox you got again, whether it's a free 789 00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:46.119 standing stove or regular good old fashioned fireplace, chimneycare fireplaces, though, 790 00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:49.559 are truly experts at what they do, and they literally 791 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:53.840 do everything.

They're 795 00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.880 wonderful at what they do, and they clean dryer events 796 00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:05.000 out to like to emphasize that if you can't remember 797 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:07.800 when your dry event's been cleaned out last, it needs 798 00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:09.440 to be cleaned out.

Just listening to that tragic story 829 00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:26.559 where the sun murdered his parents. Yeah, you know, I 830 00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:29.199 own a school and I see kids as young as 831 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:34.480 five addicted to video and it's pretty tragic. And I 832 00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:38.440 think parents don't understand that the video games for young 833 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:42.400 children is actually keeping their brain from doing what it 834 00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:46.039 needs to do. It's like numbing their brain pathways. Yes, 835 00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:49.159 and if parents don't get a hold of it at 836 00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:51.280 a young age, you are in a heap, a heap 837 00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.599 of trouble, and we're seeing it. We're seeing it play out. 838 00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:54.880 I've had this theory. 839 00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:57.440 Let me run this by and Jamie, because you know, 840 00:49:57.480 --> 00:49:59.599 when I was a little kid when video games first 841 00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:03.079 came out, remember Pong, like the original video game, it 842 00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:05.280 was just like you bounce, it was like a playing 843 00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:09.320 ping pong. You bounce this little chip back and forth, 844 00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:11.960 and that's all it did. But the idea that you 845 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:15.320 could control something on your from a little box on 846 00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:19.679 the screen was fascinating. But it was an endorphin rush, 847 00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:23.000 and you had this you know, this, this like, oh 848 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.239 my god, this is so cool. And of course it's 849 00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:29.760 just gotten amazingly more graphic and more realistic and all 850 00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:31.960 these different, you know, different types of games. And then 851 00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:35.239 you couple that with the online interaction with other people. 852 00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:37.559 You know, you're screaming and yelling at each other because 853 00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:41.800 I've witnessed this playing these exciting video games. It just 854 00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:45.119 takes away everything else. You get this endorphin rush and 855 00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:48.760 you it's almost like you need to be there and 856 00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:53.199 play it. You're drawn to it, of course, as your 857 00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:58.159 point me to the exclusion of everything else. You're not reading, 858 00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:01.440 you're not expanding your brain, and you're just ramping up 859 00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:03.639 to try to get to the next level. And that's 860 00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:06.239 all that, that's all that your life is boiled down to. 861 00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:09.559 It's scary and no wonder we've got so many kids 862 00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:12.360 with so many mental problems these days. It's all they 863 00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:13.199 are doing. 864 00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:17.000 Yeah, And the other piece that we're seeing is that 865 00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:21.639 which isn't going to make sense, but a disconnect from reality. 866 00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:24.880 So they're not in reality when they're in a video game. 867 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.280 So when they are in reality, you're trying to connect 868 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:31.159 and they're in relationships and they're trying to make decisions 869 00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:35.840 in reality. And it's it's really astounding to see, and 870 00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.760 it is it's it's frightening. And I don't think many 871 00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:42.760 parents really understand their wood into the games and the 872 00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:47.480 educational value supposedly, and you know, it's it's very easy 873 00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:49.480 to hand your kid. I mean, you go to a restaurant, 874 00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:54.360 You're going to see a whole family on their electronics. 875 00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:55.480 Oh my heart, it kills me. 876 00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:57.400 It really kills me. 877 00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:01.079 They're not engaged in conversation or not at the grocery 878 00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:03.519 store picking out things to get off through. I mean, 879 00:52:03.559 --> 00:52:09.880 all these opportunities, again, particularly for young kids, is how 880 00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:12.079 to create a monster? One oh one, for sure. 881 00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:14.480 You're right, You are dead right. I couldn't agree with 882 00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:17.000 you more. And a rule in our family, and from 883 00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:19.400 time to time I will admit that I break it 884 00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:21.800 because we'll have a conversation we're like, I can't remember 885 00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:23.719 the name of blah blah blah, blah blah. I'm like, well, 886 00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:25.880 let's just look it up. You pull your cell phone out. 887 00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:29.440 My wife, My god, my wife, don't pull that out. 888 00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:33.599 Keep that phone away. You can't have a cell phone 889 00:52:33.639 --> 00:52:37.519 out when we're having dinner, period, end of story. Rule 890 00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:40.199 will not be broken except in some court of you know, 891 00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:45.719 like justifiable circumstances, but only after we have a conversation 892 00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:49.480 about whether or not the phone should be pulled out. 893 00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:51.599 I mean, well, how do we exist before the damn 894 00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:54.239 cell phones were around? I don't know, but we made 895 00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:56.719 it this far. I'm fifty nine. I remember before we 896 00:52:56.760 --> 00:52:59.000 had them. We didn't pull them out during dinner because 897 00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:01.559 there wasn't one. We actual engaged in conversation. And some 898 00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:04.480 of the best things in my life in terms of 899 00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:07.960 my learning, my education, my expansion, and my knowledge and wisdom, 900 00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:13.000 logic and reason, happened over dinner table conversations with my 901 00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:17.800 dad and mom and sister. That's where you exchange thoughts 902 00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:19.960 and ideas. You learn about your day, You learn about 903 00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:22.119 what people are doing. You learn about maybe challenges and 904 00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:24.719 frustrations that your kids are having. You can't do that. 905 00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:28.719 The freaking phone is out, and you're right. You go 906 00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:31.039 to a restaurant these days, everybody's sitting around looking at 907 00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:33.000 the damn phones and not talking to each other. What's 908 00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:39.440 the point. Why did you make a lunch appointment with someone? 909 00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:41.840 Why did you decide as a family to go out 910 00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:44.599 to dinner If you're just gonna stare your phone, stay home, 911 00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:49.159 save the money, or make it a rule in your 912 00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:53.000 house that at least during dinner time you're not going 913 00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:56.119 to be on social media. Can you manage that for 914 00:53:56.159 --> 00:53:56.639 an hour? 915 00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:57.840 Is it? Oh? 916 00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:00.920 My god? Can I go without my over an hour? 917 00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:08.400 It's so sad. Obviously that subject matter gets me gimmed up. 918 00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:13.280 And I'm no saint. I'm not telling you that. You 919 00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:15.960 know I'm not on well, I don't do social media, 920 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:17.480 so I can at least say that, with the exception 921 00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:21.480 of the occasional Facebook post. But I don't do TikTok, 922 00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:25.119 and I don't do X and I just don't want 923 00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:28.159 to do it. I have no desire to get involved 924 00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:30.800 with it. We get better things to do with my life. 925 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.159 I'd rather watch an old movie from the nineteen forties 926 00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:36.079 than do any of that. And maybe that is my 927 00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:39.679 downfall that I do watch old movies. That's my form 928 00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:45.800 of winding down after work, but not at the dinner table. 929 00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:49.559 Lord Almighty, my wife had divorced me. If I had, 930 00:54:49.639 --> 00:54:52.960 if I regularly engage in that activity, and she'd be 931 00:54:53.159 --> 00:54:56.440 justified in doing it. Gary and Teresa, hang on a second. 932 00:54:56.440 --> 00:54:58.239 I went a little long winded. She got me going 933 00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.519 on that, and I truly appreciate that phone six twenty 934 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:02.719 seven right now if you have Kcity talxation, and I 935 00:55:02.719 --> 00:55:06.599 appreciate Cling Electric because they've helped me out.

I'm going to hit you up rapid 982 00:57:35.199 --> 00:57:40.039 fire this morning. I do use X. I go to 983 00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:44.400 some open source media. It seems to be real good. 984 00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:48.719 I follow the macade as well as open source Andy. No, 985 00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:51.599 there are some really good sources on there, but that's 986 00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:55.360 the first goal preference. I really don't use it for socialize. 987 00:57:56.519 --> 00:58:00.400 Let's see back in two thy fifteen, the first gun 988 00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:03.800 video mounted on a drone was an eighteen year old 989 00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:09.599 kid from Connecticut. He was convicted felony back in twenty fifteen. 990 00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:13.599 You can watch the video that he posted on YouTube. Second, 991 00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:19.760 the rebels, they are saying that on open source that 992 00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:26.599 they have funding from Ukraine funded the rebels to harass 993 00:58:26.760 --> 00:58:33.000 Iran and Ukraine, and now the rebels are showing executions 994 00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:41.880 and they're freeing all the x Serbian soldiers that were 995 00:58:42.159 --> 00:58:46.320 Islam and they're setting those guys free, which they're not 996 00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:51.480 a good group of people. And third, there's also showing 997 00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:58.119 Assad had large warehouses full of crystal mep so apparently 998 00:58:58.159 --> 00:59:01.840 he was one of the largest man manufacturers of crystal 999 00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:05.079 math in the Middle East, so they claim, and they 1000 00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:10.159 actually have videos of that, so that's for funding. And Third, 1001 00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:15.199 those mostly moderate peaceful rebels who are going public execution 1002 00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:19.960 of anybody that they caught are now telling women that 1003 00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:22.320 they're not allowed to leave the house without. 1004 00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:26.239 Having Yeah, sure, real law. I did see that it 1005 00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:31.000 was being implemented there, so yes, lots of bad aftermath. 1006 00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:33.800 And as far as the crystal meth is concerned, I mean, hey, 1007 00:59:33.679 --> 00:59:37.400 the Mexican cartels realize there's some profit in that. If 1008 00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:41.239 you're an unethical country if you're an immoral country, you 1009 00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:43.719 go ahead and make myth. Apparently there is a massive 1010 00:59:43.840 --> 00:59:47.360 demand out there for drugs in the world. Right, you 1011 00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:49.679 need to fund your government, and the tax dollars aren't 1012 00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:54.079 coming in. Why not manufacture drugs? The world craves them. 1013 00:59:55.400 --> 00:59:58.519 So it's a problem with mankind generally speaking from what 1014 00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:00.559 I can gather, let's take Teresa's I'm going to go 1015 01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:03.280 along in this segment. Teresa, thanks for holding. Welcome to 1016 01:00:03.280 --> 01:00:03.920 the Morning Show. 1017 01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:06.320 Thank you for taking my call. 1018 01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:07.159 By too happy. 1019 01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:08.519 I'll be right to the point. 1020 01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:11.280 I was really happy to see that you are on 1021 01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:15.079 Facebook because I've been noticing some posts that are popping 1022 01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:19.480 up about the CEO of United Healthcare and that company 1023 01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:24.159 are under investigation for insider trading and fraud, yeah. 1024 01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:29.360 Since last year. So and they're also implicating that Nancy 1025 01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:32.559 Pelosi's name is being brought up as part of that. 1026 01:00:32.719 --> 01:00:35.599 So there must be a lot more to this murder 1027 01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:39.199 than just a kid who's mad about not getting his 1028 01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:40.719 prescription drugs for. 1029 01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:41.360 His back pain. 1030 01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:44.400 Well, and hopefully we'll find out. See this is my thing. 1031 01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:46.639 I hear all that, I have read all that, and 1032 01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:52.079 you're channeling my dear friend my pattern observer friend Maureen, 1033 01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:56.119 who I used to call a conspiracy theorist, decided it's 1034 01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:58.960 pattern observer now, and she's been writing a lot of 1035 01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:00.559 times over the years. You just got to give it 1036 01:01:00.599 --> 01:01:03.800 time to find out the reality of it, and ultimately 1037 01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:06.079 you find out, much like all of the things we 1038 01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:09.119 were saying about COVID nineteen, like six foot social distancing 1039 01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:14.079 is stupid. Masks don't work that kind of stuff. And 1040 01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:15.960 you say it, you know, a few years ago, and 1041 01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:19.440 your ostracized and your thrown off, and your posts are deleted, 1042 01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:21.840 and then you find out that, no, you were right 1043 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:24.360 the whole time. Yeah, I've seen this stuff on the 1044 01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:27.519 Insider training and God knows what's going on behind the scenes, 1045 01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:30.039 but you know, I saw the story. Barack Obama came 1046 01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:32.199 into the presidency I think with a value of one 1047 01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:35.039 point seven million dollars and when he left he was 1048 01:01:35.079 --> 01:01:40.000 worth thirty some odd million dollars, and it was a story. Oh, 1049 01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:42.760 here we go. Let's see. Clinton entered the White House 1050 01:01:42.800 --> 01:01:45.559 one point three million nineteen ninety three. By the time 1051 01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:48.159 he left he had one hundred and twenty million dollars. 1052 01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:51.239 Barack Obama started his presidency in two thousand and nine 1053 01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:53.679 with a net worth of one point three million dollars. 1054 01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:57.719 It grew to seventy million dollars after he left office. 1055 01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:00.559 How can that be? Well, maybe there is something to 1056 01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:05.800 insider training, you think, Maybe, just maybe Nancy Pelosi and 1057 01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:08.719 United Health do have some sort of relationship from what 1058 01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:12.440 I've been reading. Maybe we'll find out, although, as I 1059 01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:16.159 say that, we didn't really find anything about how Clinton 1060 01:02:16.159 --> 01:02:19.199 made his money or how Barack Obama made his money 1061 01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:22.599 while occupying an office that paid I think right now 1062 01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:25.760 four hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually, a sum which 1063 01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:29.239 President Trump, soon to be again, has turned down.

Boy, if 1101 01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:43.840 you only had people like that that could bring those 1102 01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:46.360 talents to the federal government. Oh, look, there they are 1103 01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:51.960 doing that. Going back to my comments about the presidential salary, 1104 01:04:52.679 --> 01:04:55.639 Trump was interviewed by somebody who was described by. 1105 01:04:57.800 --> 01:04:58.320 Who did this? 1106 01:04:58.480 --> 01:05:00.679 Oh it was the Gateway punted no one under Maureen 1107 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:06.599 your favorite website, Kristen Welker, leftist, whatever, it doesn't matter. 1108 01:05:06.679 --> 01:05:09.599 She was just asking questions, are you planning to accept 1109 01:05:09.599 --> 01:05:10.920 a salary as president? 1110 01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:11.480 She asked? 1111 01:05:11.480 --> 01:05:14.159 His response, President Trump, I am not going to accept 1112 01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:16.599 a salary. No, I'm giving up a lot of money. 1113 01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:18.519 Do you know what amazed me? Maybe this isn't right, 1114 01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:21.360 But other than George Washington and they're not sure about that. 1115 01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:26.559 Every president has accepted their salary accept me. She followed 1116 01:05:26.599 --> 01:05:29.440 up with, did you you did accept the pension? 1117 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:29.840 Correct? 1118 01:05:29.840 --> 01:05:33.199 And he said, I don't think so. You didn't accept 1119 01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:35.920 your pension. I don't think I accepted anything. 1120 01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:36.280 He said. 1121 01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:38.360 The president gets about four hundred and fifty thousand dollars 1122 01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:39.360 a year and I didn't take it. 1123 01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:43.559 Hmm. So I want to ask. 1124 01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:45.559 You again about and he interrupted, by the way, I 1125 01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:50.079 got no credit for that. That's okay. Her follow well, 1126 01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:52.039 I'm asking you about it for a reason. I think 1127 01:05:52.119 --> 01:05:54.119 it's notable that you're not going to accept a salary. 1128 01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:57.760 He said, I didn't and I'm not going to and 1129 01:05:57.840 --> 01:05:59.480 I don't believe I got any credit for that. But 1130 01:05:59.639 --> 01:06:05.000 I just feel for me it's a nice thing to do. Yeah, 1131 01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:10.400 And the point was it was his commitment to fiscal responsibility. Obviously, 1132 01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:14.639 Donald Trump has enough money in his bank accounts, even 1133 01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:18.840 after being the victim of law fair and every single 1134 01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:22.480 leftist prosecutor and judge trying to liberate the money he 1135 01:06:22.599 --> 01:06:27.079 has from him, including that ridiculous lawsuit about the valuation 1136 01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:30.960 of real estate. What's your house worth? What is your 1137 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:35.840 house worth? Go ahead, tell me No, it's not. You're wrong. 1138 01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:39.440 What do you mean I'm wrong? Well, I looked on Zillo. 1139 01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:43.039 You're wrong. Your house is worth what someone is willing 1140 01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:45.639 to pay for it on the day, Yes, shake hands 1141 01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:50.159 and sign the sales contract. That is the one moment 1142 01:06:50.280 --> 01:06:52.920 in time that you know what your real estate is worth. 1143 01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:54.639 What do they do to Donald Trump? Well, he said 1144 01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:57.039 his scope was worth blah blah blah, and that was 1145 01:06:57.079 --> 01:07:02.000 an outright lie. He was dealing with sophistic financial institutions 1146 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:05.280 who have their own real estate appraisers. It was an 1147 01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:10.239 arm's length transaction between sophisticated parties. And yet they went 1148 01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:15.199 after him. They accused him of lying and committing crimes. 1149 01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:19.239 Why well, because he's Donald Trump. That's why nobody else 1150 01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:21.039 would have been subjected to that. And the banks that 1151 01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:25.199 loaned him the money got paid back completely with interest. 1152 01:07:25.639 --> 01:07:28.159 Unlike those people are getting their student loans fulfilled. They're 1153 01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:31.320 not fulfilling their obligations. They're having it wiped away. They 1154 01:07:31.360 --> 01:07:33.519 didn't pay the interest that they promised to pay. They're 1155 01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:37.119 having it wiped away. Why cause well, somebody needed votes. 1156 01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:39.960 Donald Trump goes to a bank and says, I want 1157 01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:42.159 a loan. They say, well, what are you using as collateral? 1158 01:07:42.199 --> 01:07:44.360 Here's mar a lago. What's it worth? I don't know, 1159 01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:47.239 nine gajillion dollars. Well, let me take a look at it. 1160 01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:50.519 We'll decide for ourself whether it's sufficient collateral for a loan. 1161 01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:54.840 Yeah it is. Here's your money, and pay it back 1162 01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:59.280 by X number of years. Donald Trump fulfilled his contractual obligations. 1163 01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:02.119 Those banks testified in court they weren't out a dime, 1164 01:08:02.480 --> 01:08:04.599 they were not harmed in any way, shape or form. 1165 01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:08.360 And yet Donald Trump has found liable for what hundreds 1166 01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:11.559 of millions of dollars. Tell me that's not, in and 1167 01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:14.639 of itself, the prosecution under the circumstances, in and of 1168 01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:20.680 itself a crime. But his commitment to fiscal responsibility is 1169 01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:23.079 the reason he waived his salary. That was his point. 1170 01:08:23.159 --> 01:08:28.199 Rather than keeping the compensation, he donated it to federal agencies, 1171 01:08:28.239 --> 01:08:32.520 including the National Park Service and even the Department of Education. 1172 01:08:38.840 --> 01:08:42.760 And again going back to former President Bill Clinton, according 1173 01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:47.119 to Newsweek, showed up with the White House of the 1174 01:08:47.119 --> 01:08:49.239 net worth of one point three million dollars back in 1175 01:08:49.319 --> 01:08:51.319 nineteen ninety three. And you may think that's a lot 1176 01:08:51.319 --> 01:08:53.399 of money, but if you go ahead and consider all 1177 01:08:53.439 --> 01:08:55.960 of your retirement savings and the value of the real 1178 01:08:56.079 --> 01:08:58.640 estate that you own, if you own some, and your 1179 01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:01.239 cars and your stuff and your things, you might surprise 1180 01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:05.319 yourself and how much money you're actually worth on paper. Anyway, 1181 01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:11.079 how did he end up leaving the White House with 1182 01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:16.159 one hundred and twenty million dollars? How how is that possible? 1183 01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:23.840 Barack Obama again one point three million dollars when he 1184 01:09:23.880 --> 01:09:27.279 shut up with the White House ended up with seventy 1185 01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:32.039 million dollars again Newsweek. I'll take Newsweek at their word 1186 01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:34.000 on this one, not that I normally would, but I'm 1187 01:09:34.039 --> 01:09:36.600 sure the figures and facts are all out there, and 1188 01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:38.520 they may be off just a little bit here in 1189 01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:41.079 this reporting. But the reality is, you enter into the 1190 01:09:41.079 --> 01:09:43.439 White House and you make four hundred thousand dollars a year, 1191 01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:45.960 How in the hell can you turn that into seventy 1192 01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:51.960 million dollars and move away from those chuckleheads and start 1193 01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:54.479 looking at I don't know, maybe Mitch McConnell, John Bainer, 1194 01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:56.960 and Nancy Pelosi, we could go down the list. There's 1195 01:09:57.000 --> 01:10:00.119 a lot of folks in politics making heaploads of money 1196 01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:03.960 even though their base salaries would never under any circumstance 1197 01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:06.520 that you and I would be living through. We could 1198 01:10:06.520 --> 01:10:11.119 not parlay that money into this kind of well growth 1199 01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:16.279 less for trade and cattle futures. Oh that's right. That 1200 01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:19.760 was corrupt too, now, wasn't At six forty nine fifty 1201 01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:24.439 five kr C detalk station, that has a distinct stench 1202 01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:27.600 about it, doesn't it.

The Stars reports 1256 01:12:54.920 --> 01:12:57.479 that that guy was connected to more than one hundred 1257 01:12:57.479 --> 01:13:00.439 and seventy five if I recall the number correctly. I mean, 1258 01:13:00.479 --> 01:13:03.079 if you had one of those show up on your account, 1259 01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:06.319 they'd be all over you, like ugly on a monkey. 1260 01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:10.039 As my dad used to say, What do they do 1261 01:13:10.119 --> 01:13:13.239 with him? They slow walked the investigation. So, yeah, he 1262 01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:18.520 did not declare income and he did pay back what 1263 01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:26.760 income tax he owed after after the statute of limitations 1264 01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:29.159 had expired. On the vast majority of the cash at 1265 01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:31.880 lanted in his pocket and the pockets of a number 1266 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:34.920 of the Biden family members, as we have been to 1267 01:13:34.960 --> 01:13:38.680 explain to or have been told if that was you 1268 01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:42.039 or me, hell no, we'd be in jail right now. So, yeah, 1269 01:13:42.119 --> 01:13:45.279 there was special treatment for Hunter Biden, not in the 1270 01:13:45.319 --> 01:13:48.079 form of lawfair, not in the form of going after 1271 01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:50.560 him for things that you and I wouldn't have gone after. 1272 01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:53.039 For a matter of fact, I was filling out my 1273 01:13:53.199 --> 01:13:57.079 FFL form yesterday for my Christmas President. I was on 1274 01:13:57.119 --> 01:13:59.720 the phone with my mom and I got to the 1275 01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:02.880 law where it's said you addicted to drugs or whatever naked. 1276 01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:09.760 Oh look the Hunter Biden why question. Yeah, we we 1277 01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:16.119 would be prosecuted. Oh no, not Hunter Biden.

He's 1289 01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:10.560 an author, He's brilliant, he's a lawyer, he's a historian. 1290 01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:13.159 He is a raconteur and jack of all trades and 1291 01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:15.720 brilliant he is. And I love his commentary and I 1292 01:15:15.800 --> 01:15:19.560 love being of friends with him. Welcome back, jack Athan. 1293 01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:25.000 Oh ho ho, My friend tell me, Brian, have you 1294 01:15:25.039 --> 01:15:27.239 ever dressed up to play Santa Claus? 1295 01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:27.760 No? 1296 01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:30.520 Well, I did. 1297 01:15:30.640 --> 01:15:34.319 I dressed up with Santa for years until Amesley said, 1298 01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:37.760 I freaked out our daughters and their boyfriends, so I 1299 01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:38.359 had to stop. 1300 01:15:38.600 --> 01:15:40.600 I don't even want to know how you could freak 1301 01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:43.520 someone out, Jack. Although you know you don't have the 1302 01:15:43.640 --> 01:15:45.039 frame for Santa Claus. 1303 01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:46.960 I know you can. You can. 1304 01:15:47.119 --> 01:15:49.239 You can add some padding and everything like that to 1305 01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:52.119 kind of fill the foot the bill. But I suppose 1306 01:15:52.199 --> 01:15:53.960 it's the words that come out of your mouth is 1307 01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:56.039 what determines whether you freak someone. 1308 01:15:56.199 --> 01:16:02.119 Now well, promising to give away is a fun tradition, 1309 01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:08.359 except in politics. The political giveaway tradition goes back thousands 1310 01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:12.119 of years, ancient Greeks called leaders who bought off their 1311 01:16:12.159 --> 01:16:18.199 supporters demagogues, meaning dictators who led the demos the people 1312 01:16:18.680 --> 01:16:23.359 by the nose, promising them free stuff. In Rome, Julius 1313 01:16:23.439 --> 01:16:27.960 Caesar was a demagogue who promised his followers bread and circuses, 1314 01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:32.119 meaning the gladiators and now slicing each other up in 1315 01:16:32.279 --> 01:16:36.680 movie theaters. We've had demagogues in our country too well. 1316 01:16:36.680 --> 01:16:42.479 Into the Great Depression, Huey Long ruled Louisiana, first as governor, 1317 01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:46.279 then in the US Senate. The Kingfish, as he was called, 1318 01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.520 was a populist, but unlike Donald Trump, Huey was a 1319 01:16:50.680 --> 01:16:55.520 left wing populist. Huey Long filled Louisiana governor and its 1320 01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:59.760 government with political cronies, and then demanded that they kicked 1321 01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:05.079 back part of their salaries. His Share our Wealth program 1322 01:17:05.399 --> 01:17:09.760 set a cap on all salaries public and private. We 1323 01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:15.439 distributed property and pushed massive public spending, so massive that 1324 01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:18.840 Franklin Roosevelt, to keep Huey from challenging him for the 1325 01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:23.560 White House, spent just as much. Huey famously promised that 1326 01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:26.880 he'd put a chicken in every pot and make every 1327 01:17:26.920 --> 01:17:31.039 man a king. He told that his socialism was unconstitutional, 1328 01:17:31.319 --> 01:17:35.279 the Kingfish said, and I quote, I am the Constitution 1329 01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:39.680 told the same thing about his new deal. FDR threatened 1330 01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:44.319 to pack the US Supreme Court. Ultimately, Huey Long was 1331 01:17:44.359 --> 01:17:47.239 assassinated by the son in law of the judge that 1332 01:17:47.319 --> 01:17:52.880 Huey pushed into retirement. Today, Coach Brian Kelly can thank 1333 01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:56.119 Huey Long for putting LSU on the map with a 1334 01:17:56.159 --> 01:17:58.920 lot of spending, and also spending a ton of money 1335 01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:03.439 on other public works. But the Kingfish also left a 1336 01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:08.640 legacy of boss government in Louisiana and making millions of 1337 01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:14.640 people dependent on handouts. Huey Long was a white Santa Claus. 1338 01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:19.119 Black demagogues have done perhaps even more damage, Brian. For 1339 01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:23.960 decades centuries, people of color were denied equality under the law. 1340 01:18:24.319 --> 01:18:28.079 Nobody is denying that. But once America atoned for that 1341 01:18:28.279 --> 01:18:32.640 sin by winning the Civil War, passing three amendments to 1342 01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:36.359 our Constitution, and then finally the Civil Rights Acts of 1343 01:18:36.399 --> 01:18:41.279 the nineteen sixties. True civil rights leaders like doctor Martin 1344 01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:45.319 Luther King Junior did not want to play Santa Claus. 1345 01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:49.239 They wanted black people to be treated as equals, not 1346 01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:54.119 as perpetual victims. But Doctor King was soon replaced by 1347 01:18:54.119 --> 01:18:58.880 the likes of Reverend Al Sharpton. He became famous promoting 1348 01:18:58.920 --> 01:19:02.479 a black girl who who lied about being raped by whites. 1349 01:19:03.039 --> 01:19:07.720 Sharpton still believes not in character but in identity politics. 1350 01:19:08.399 --> 01:19:12.439 We have discussed for years Brian so called civil rights 1351 01:19:12.479 --> 01:19:17.079 inspired laws that showered unwed black mothers with welfare so 1352 01:19:17.199 --> 01:19:19.800 long as there was no man living in the house, 1353 01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:24.840 that destroyed black and many poor white and Hispanic family 1354 01:19:24.920 --> 01:19:29.119 formations like as you have been discussing this morning, Jordan 1355 01:19:29.279 --> 01:19:33.159 Neely's no man in the house. That was not the 1356 01:19:33.239 --> 01:19:35.760 vision of doctor King. That was not even the vision 1357 01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:39.760 of Santa Claus, who rewards good little boys and girls 1358 01:19:40.119 --> 01:19:44.359 and their fathers of every race, creed and color, for 1359 01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:48.239 all of our shortcomings. The United States of America was 1360 01:19:48.319 --> 01:19:53.920 founded on virtue, the limited decentralized government set out in 1361 01:19:53.960 --> 01:19:59.479 our actual constitution. That limited decentralized government is what Donald 1362 01:19:59.479 --> 01:20:04.319 Trump's right wing populism is trying to restore. Because Donald 1363 01:20:04.359 --> 01:20:09.319 Trump is not Santa Claus. He has promised to preserve 1364 01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:14.960 social safety nets, including social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. But 1365 01:20:15.079 --> 01:20:19.479 Donald Trump is not a demogogue. This president wants boys 1366 01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:23.279 and girls to grow up to be responsible parents who 1367 01:20:23.279 --> 01:20:26.279 can raise their own boys and girls and buy them 1368 01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:31.119 presents themselves, maybe pretending that they were left by Santa Claus, 1369 01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:34.880 but knowing that those presents and the roof over their 1370 01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:38.199 heads and the food on their tables all come from 1371 01:20:38.239 --> 01:20:44.920 a booming economy, equal opportunity, and hard, honest labor. That's 1372 01:20:44.920 --> 01:20:48.479 why more and more men and women of all races 1373 01:20:48.920 --> 01:20:53.479 voted for Trump. And having a president not a demagogue, 1374 01:20:54.039 --> 01:20:59.000 is the best president, best present as well that anybody 1375 01:20:59.039 --> 01:20:59.439 can get. 1376 01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:03.640 Indeed, you know, you mentioned bread and circuses, and I 1377 01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:06.880 immediately wrote that down. I mean, isn't that really one 1378 01:21:06.880 --> 01:21:10.239 of the things that the reasons the Roman Empire fell? 1379 01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:13.800 They expanded beyond their ability to maintain the borders. They 1380 01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:17.239 spent gazillions and gazillions of dollars trying to keep the 1381 01:21:17.319 --> 01:21:21.680 people appeased with freey stuff and things, only to find 1382 01:21:21.720 --> 01:21:25.840 out that it was completely unaffordable and incapable of being sustained, 1383 01:21:26.199 --> 01:21:29.359 and gradually the system decays and falls apart. Now I 1384 01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:31.319 say that thinking about in the back of my mind, 1385 01:21:31.359 --> 01:21:35.119 as I'm sure you're probably already anticipating thirty six trillion 1386 01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:39.720 dollars in national debt and growing with no and in sight. 1387 01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:41.960 That's one of the reasons why I'm so excited about 1388 01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:45.760 this whole concept of DOGE. Someone's got to put the 1389 01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:48.279 brakes on it. And if you've worried about your own 1390 01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:51.600 personal favorite program, the thing that you are hooked up 1391 01:21:51.640 --> 01:21:54.399 to the umbilical court of governments of providing you whatever 1392 01:21:54.840 --> 01:21:58.199 thing bread and circus or whatever you're getting, you might 1393 01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:00.760 want to be concerned. But in the broader scheme, the 1394 01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:03.520 government has gotten so large in size and scope that 1395 01:22:03.560 --> 01:22:07.880 they can't even account for the money that they spend. Jack, 1396 01:22:08.079 --> 01:22:11.239 they did how many audits of the Defense Department now 1397 01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:13.479 and they still haven't been able to account for the 1398 01:22:13.520 --> 01:22:17.600 money they spend. Our own government doesn't know where the 1399 01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:21.479 money went. That is I'm sorry. There are two words, 1400 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:23.800 and I can't utter them on the radio except the 1401 01:22:23.840 --> 01:22:25.279 second one, which is up. 1402 01:22:27.279 --> 01:22:31.159 Well, of course, you're absolutely right, may I add, Brian. 1403 01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:35.399 Some listeners may be saying, wait a minute, even Donald 1404 01:22:35.439 --> 01:22:40.000 Trump wants to keep Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, 1405 01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:45.079 and those were left wing populist programs, And that's very true. 1406 01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:50.359 But until Trump, the GOP was not a right wing 1407 01:22:50.439 --> 01:22:54.720 populist Party, the white shoe Republicans, the Bushes and the 1408 01:22:54.840 --> 01:22:59.960 Cheneys and Mitt Romney. They got us into the Great Depression, 1409 01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:04.439 and more recently they've been shipping America's manufacturing jobs off 1410 01:23:04.479 --> 01:23:09.239 to China. They created the Huey Longs and FDR. But 1411 01:23:09.319 --> 01:23:14.880 as we've discussed, Otto von Bismarck, no big liberal, as 1412 01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:17.920 the head of the United Germany in the eighteen seventies, 1413 01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:22.680 gave Germany a social safety net in the nineteenth century. 1414 01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:26.479 What's different about Trump is that he wants the smallest 1415 01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:31.560 freest government that's possible, with a social safety net, a 1416 01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:35.359 reasonable one, not a hammock, to give all Americans the 1417 01:23:35.439 --> 01:23:36.479 freedom to succeed. 1418 01:23:37.479 --> 01:23:40.560 Yeah, And the reason people get uptight about Social Security, 1419 01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:42.720 I hear it all the time. I paid into that. 1420 01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:46.000 I paid in that. You're right, you did. But when 1421 01:23:46.039 --> 01:23:50.000 it was created, people died in their mid sixties. They 1422 01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:52.840 were not on a program, I mean to the extent 1423 01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:56.279 even well back then when it did when it first existed, well, 1424 01:23:56.319 --> 01:24:00.359 he had fifteen workers for every Social Security recipient. Social 1425 01:24:00.399 --> 01:24:03.000 Security recipient was probably going to be dead by age 1426 01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:06.479 sixty eight. You only had several years of reliance on 1427 01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:10.159 that program financially, it actually worked out on paper. Now 1428 01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:13.720 what there are three workers for every Social Security recipient. 1429 01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:16.760 They're paying out more than they take in. It's a 1430 01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:22.119 recipe for collapse. I understand, and I appreciate the fact 1431 01:24:22.159 --> 01:24:25.760 that people are reliant upon it because they have lived 1432 01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:28.920 their life with the promise from government that they would 1433 01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:33.399 be getting a Social Security check. Fine, you must fulfill 1434 01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:36.960 that promise because people have, you know, based and built 1435 01:24:37.000 --> 01:24:41.079 their entire financial you know situation, you know, their savings, 1436 01:24:41.079 --> 01:24:45.000 their their their their retirement expectations on the idea of 1437 01:24:45.039 --> 01:24:49.359 getting a Social Security check which they paid into. Unfortunately, 1438 01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:52.880 the system isn't working out over the long haul, and 1439 01:24:52.960 --> 01:24:57.199 it is destined to collapse by every government you know projection, 1440 01:24:57.720 --> 01:25:00.600 whether from the left or the right, all of the programs, 1441 01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:04.079 all the analysis says this is unsustainable. So what we 1442 01:25:04.159 --> 01:25:08.319 need to do is create a different future expectation, give 1443 01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:10.640 people some flexibility. You want to be in the Social 1444 01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:13.279 Security program or would you rather invest that monthly so 1445 01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:17.880 that that withdraw from your paycheck into your personal financial 1446 01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:20.159 retirement account where you could probably end up doing a 1447 01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:22.880 lot better in terms of return on investment. Jack, I 1448 01:25:22.880 --> 01:25:24.439 don't know what you paid in over the years of 1449 01:25:24.520 --> 01:25:26.880 your working or what ultimately I have paid in over 1450 01:25:26.920 --> 01:25:29.479 the years. But I bet you that if all the 1451 01:25:29.479 --> 01:25:31.239 money that they had taken out of my paycheck for 1452 01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:34.760 the Social Security program I had in my personal retirement 1453 01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:40.439 account earning interest and getting a compounding interest return, I 1454 01:25:40.479 --> 01:25:43.199 will be in a lot better position than whatever I'm 1455 01:25:43.199 --> 01:25:45.560 going to end up getting from Social Security. And you know, 1456 01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:48.920 everybody read your Social Security form. It says right there 1457 01:25:48.920 --> 01:25:51.880 on the front, this is an estimated payment of what 1458 01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:54.520 you can get when you are retired, but don't count 1459 01:25:54.560 --> 01:25:57.880 on it. It's not a guarantee, which means you know, 1460 01:25:57.960 --> 01:25:59.640 you may be getting a lot less than what they 1461 01:25:59.680 --> 01:26:01.119 have written on the piece of paper. 1462 01:26:02.159 --> 01:26:06.960 The underlying problem is even more dire birth rates in 1463 01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:11.279 our country now one point three percent replacement rate. You 1464 01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:15.159 need two point one just to remain steady. And the 1465 01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:18.920 answer is not illegal immigration, unless you just want people 1466 01:26:18.960 --> 01:26:21.640 to cut your lawn and maybe be a nanny. I mean, 1467 01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:24.319 the answer is to have the kind of legal immigration 1468 01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:28.920 that Orlando Sanza and the vike Ramaswami talk about on 1469 01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:31.960 your show all the time. We need more people in 1470 01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:36.960 this country, but we also need and this circles. Back 1471 01:26:37.000 --> 01:26:39.880 to what we were talking about earlier. We need to 1472 01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:43.800 raise people who are responsible, who want to form families, 1473 01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:47.520 who aren't paid off simply to vote for Democrats, quants 1474 01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:51.199 and for establishment Republicans. People who want to be the 1475 01:26:51.279 --> 01:26:53.239 kind of people that we had in the World War 1476 01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:56.439 II generation who then spoiled their kids. And that's a 1477 01:26:56.439 --> 01:26:58.880 whole different talk that we've had before, but who at 1478 01:26:58.960 --> 01:27:01.600 least had the kids we're able to pay it into 1479 01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:05.399 social security and build up this country for the next generation. 1480 01:27:06.239 --> 01:27:09.000 Yeah, and you know that's interesting, Jack, and probably the 1481 01:27:09.039 --> 01:27:11.720 subject matter for a future conversation between you and my 1482 01:27:11.800 --> 01:27:16.119 listening audience. Why young people don't want to have children. 1483 01:27:16.560 --> 01:27:18.479 It seems to be a mixed bag of it's too 1484 01:27:18.600 --> 01:27:20.680 damn expensive, and then we could sort of do an 1485 01:27:20.680 --> 01:27:24.039 analysis of why it's so expensive to have children. But 1486 01:27:24.079 --> 01:27:27.359 then there's that corollary where everything is built on, every 1487 01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:32.439 piece of legislation, every activity that mankind engages in, always 1488 01:27:32.560 --> 01:27:35.720 ends up going back to a discussion about global warming 1489 01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:39.079 or climate change. People, young people these days think that, 1490 01:27:39.119 --> 01:27:42.039 you know, children and humanity are a bunch of cockroaches 1491 01:27:42.119 --> 01:27:45.600 killing the planet. They have no desire to participate in 1492 01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:49.159 a world where we are all personally responsible for the 1493 01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:52.640 death of the planet some you know, X number of 1494 01:27:52.720 --> 01:27:55.720 years in the future. If we just could eradicate that 1495 01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:59.079 as a concept and start from scratch and just eliminate 1496 01:27:59.119 --> 01:28:03.600 the discussion about exhalation causing our collective demise, maybe we 1497 01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:09.439 might re examine the benefits, the virtues, the value of 1498 01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:13.239 being parents. I'm a much better human being for having 1499 01:28:13.279 --> 01:28:15.920 had my two children. It did cost a lot, yes, 1500 01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:19.960 of course it did. But it was a brilliant, brilliant, wonderful, 1501 01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:24.479 joyous learning experience. It creates this love that you wouldn't 1502 01:28:24.600 --> 01:28:28.720 have absent the children being involved, the satisfaction enjoy you 1503 01:28:28.760 --> 01:28:32.560 get watching your children grow and develop. You don't have kids. 1504 01:28:32.680 --> 01:28:35.239 You don't get that, and people can't. People just don't 1505 01:28:35.319 --> 01:28:38.439 understand that. It boil it down to simple either monetary 1506 01:28:38.520 --> 01:28:41.479 or global warming crapping ergo. No one wants to have 1507 01:28:41.560 --> 01:28:42.279 kids anymore. 1508 01:28:42.760 --> 01:28:45.760 I don't know, man, It's always going to be too 1509 01:28:45.800 --> 01:28:49.760 expensive to have children if you remain a child yourself. 1510 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:55.800 But post election analysis of the vote shows that the 1511 01:28:56.000 --> 01:28:58.960 youngest voters were the ones who were most likely to 1512 01:28:59.039 --> 01:29:02.600 vote for Trump. They're getting over the basillas of the 1513 01:29:02.680 --> 01:29:06.720 nineteen sixties. It's taken this many generations, but in that 1514 01:29:06.840 --> 01:29:10.000 cohort of eighteen to I think about twenty four or five, 1515 01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:14.960 you saw a big movement toward Trump among men and women. Yeah, 1516 01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:17.079 and that's one of the most hopeful things that's happened. 1517 01:29:17.319 --> 01:29:22.319 Indeed, I love your quote though, children, if you never 1518 01:29:22.399 --> 01:29:25.479 developed you on childhood yourself, I think there's some real 1519 01:29:25.520 --> 01:29:27.840 wisdom in that one. Brother, And of course that's what 1520 01:29:27.880 --> 01:29:30.359 we get from you every time you're on the Morning show. Jack, 1521 01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:34.199 I think, God bless you, my best you, your beautiful 1522 01:29:34.199 --> 01:29:37.119 better half. Look forward to next Wednesday and another conversation, 1523 01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:40.000 and just have a wonderful week, my friend. And thanks 1524 01:29:40.039 --> 01:29:42.079 for spending time with my listeners and me every week. 1525 01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:44.760 Happy holiday, everybody. 1526 01:29:44.479 --> 01:29:47.239 Appreciate that, Jack, and back at you from all my listeners. 1527 01:29:47.479 --> 01:29:49.800 It's seven twenty one to fifty five krc DE Talk Station. 1528 01:29:49.960 --> 01:29:53.119 Here's a way to save money, and the money you 1529 01:29:53.159 --> 01:29:56.079 say put toward your retirement. Maybe I don't know. Affordable 1530 01:29:56.079 --> 01:30:04.239 imaging services for inexpensive, not less quality inexpensive medical images. 1531 01:30:04.359 --> 01:30:06.960 It is not inexpensive to go to a hospital imaging 1532 01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:09.960 department where it literally is thousands and thousands and thousands 1533 01:30:10.039 --> 01:30:12.359 of dollars to get an echo cardiogram and a CT 1534 01:30:12.439 --> 01:30:15.000 scan an MRI. You know it set in a million 1535 01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:18.439 times five thousand dollars for a CT scan at a hospital. Really, 1536 01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:23.279 how is it that they can charge so much when 1537 01:30:23.279 --> 01:30:25.640 you can get the same CT scan the same type 1538 01:30:25.680 --> 01:30:29.840 of equipment with a contrast six hundred dollars without a 1539 01:30:29.880 --> 01:30:34.199 contrast four hundred and fifty at affordable imaging services. I mean, 1540 01:30:34.359 --> 01:30:38.079 just let that sink in. Cost of medicine doesn't have 1541 01:30:38.159 --> 01:30:40.720 to be that high. Why is the hospital charging so 1542 01:30:40.840 --> 01:30:42.760 day much? Well, you have a choice when it comes 1543 01:30:42.800 --> 01:30:45.960 to your medical care. Just don't go there and find 1544 01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:48.000 out ahead of time, you know, I know I got insurance, 1545 01:30:48.039 --> 01:30:49.680 I go out insurance. Yeah, find out ahead of time 1546 01:30:49.720 --> 01:30:52.199 what your payment, what your personal responsibility is going to 1547 01:30:52.199 --> 01:30:54.800 be for that CT scan with an image, and make 1548 01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:59.800 sure you get the cost of the board certified radiologists 1549 01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:03.479 report because they'll probably build that separately. So this you know, well, 1550 01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:05.520 the shoot you scan is going to cost X. Yeah 1551 01:31:05.560 --> 01:31:09.199 does that include the board certified radiologists report? Oh well no, 1552 01:31:09.319 --> 01:31:11.960 that's going to be a separate charge, right Not at 1553 01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:15.159 affordable imaging services where the ct SCAN with a contrast 1554 01:31:15.239 --> 01:31:17.760 is six hundred bucks and it comes with the board 1555 01:31:17.760 --> 01:31:21.359 Certified radiologists report. Same thing goes for the MRI four 1556 01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:24.560 ninety five without a contrast six forty five with that's 1557 01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:28.000 the most expensive image you can get at Affordable Imaging Services. 1558 01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:30.680 An MRI I with a contrast six hundred and forty 1559 01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:34.039 five bucks. All is included, same kind of equipment, just 1560 01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:37.720 super low overhead, and it's the images are all taken 1561 01:31:37.720 --> 01:31:40.960 by people who've been doing this for decades.

In the meantime, I always 1574 01:32:16.399 --> 01:32:19.840 Welcome back Brigham McCollum with the Hudson Institute, which you 1575 01:32:19.840 --> 01:32:23.239 can find online at Hudson dot org. Brigham mcowen to 1576 01:32:23.279 --> 01:32:26.159 talk about Trump's energy policies. Welcome back, Brigham. You know 1577 01:32:26.199 --> 01:32:27.680 I love having you on the show. It's good to 1578 01:32:27.720 --> 01:32:31.680 have you back on today. Well, Brian, thank you so much. 1579 01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:34.439 It's always an honor and a pleasure. And I'm reporting 1580 01:32:34.439 --> 01:32:37.479 to you live from our nation's capital this morning. Oh 1581 01:32:37.520 --> 01:32:42.359 you're in the swamp. Huh. 1582 01:32:42.399 --> 01:32:44.520 Well, you know we're gonna make it shiny again. We're 1583 01:32:44.520 --> 01:32:45.840 gonna clean things up. 1584 01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:48.680 I think, I hope so, and I honestly, I have 1585 01:32:48.720 --> 01:32:50.439 to be honest with you. When I saw the topic today, 1586 01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:55.239 Trump's energy policies my only reaction because I honestly, and 1587 01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:57.239 as much as I read as much news as I 1588 01:32:57.319 --> 01:33:00.840 go through, I haven't really personally, I've seen a whole 1589 01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:03.279 lot about it, except that he is what has been 1590 01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:09.560 described as or for what I've generally read as everything approaches, 1591 01:33:09.640 --> 01:33:13.279 like all the everything you know, we'll go with it all. 1592 01:33:13.319 --> 01:33:16.600 Whatever you want, everything open, let's use that gas oil 1593 01:33:16.680 --> 01:33:18.920 and coal, and if you want a windmill, do that. 1594 01:33:19.079 --> 01:33:21.399 All the above kind of strategy in order to bring 1595 01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:24.079 down our energy bills and create a more efficient energy 1596 01:33:24.119 --> 01:33:24.680 system here. 1597 01:33:26.439 --> 01:33:28.600 Absolutely, that is one of the key pillars. And I 1598 01:33:28.600 --> 01:33:33.319 think you know, this notion of energy dominance or energy independence, 1599 01:33:33.359 --> 01:33:37.319 which we've talked about, is more critical than ever. You know, 1600 01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:40.640 we've talked on the program previously about watching mistakes that 1601 01:33:40.720 --> 01:33:45.000 other countries have made, so your inflicted. 1602 01:33:44.479 --> 01:33:48.600 Wounds the European Union collectively Germany most notably. 1603 01:33:50.359 --> 01:33:53.960 Yes, absolutely, and you know this is part of President 1604 01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:56.760 Trump has several pillars. And if I may real quickly, 1605 01:33:57.840 --> 01:34:00.880 and I'll explain how energy fits into this. First is 1606 01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:04.319 this return to peace through strength by re establishing de terrence, 1607 01:34:04.720 --> 01:34:07.800 renewing America's industrial base, which requires a lot of energy, 1608 01:34:08.399 --> 01:34:13.119 and protecting the US against espionage and different ask actions 1609 01:34:13.199 --> 01:34:17.079 like that. I'll skip over secure our borders. That's pretty 1610 01:34:17.079 --> 01:34:22.640 self explanatory. But on our economy, you know, that's really 1611 01:34:22.640 --> 01:34:27.439 where energy comes in, because you know, it is a 1612 01:34:27.560 --> 01:34:31.760 huge component of what makes a country, any country, competitive 1613 01:34:31.920 --> 01:34:35.239 or not competitive when you're trying to build and sell things. 1614 01:34:35.840 --> 01:34:37.640 And I think that's something a lot of the world 1615 01:34:37.680 --> 01:34:42.199 has forgotten. And we've seded this to China and to 1616 01:34:42.239 --> 01:34:44.880 some extent some other places of people that don't like 1617 01:34:44.960 --> 01:34:47.000 us very much. It's very odd, don't you agree? 1618 01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:49.399 I agree one hundred percent, And that's what I always 1619 01:34:49.479 --> 01:34:52.279 go back to. I mean, I know, I think I'm 1620 01:34:52.399 --> 01:34:54.560 one of the few heretics that are left in the 1621 01:34:54.600 --> 01:34:57.079 world that doesn't believe that you and I are axhiling 1622 01:34:57.119 --> 01:35:01.399 ourselves into existence. I don't believe in committing economic suicide 1623 01:35:01.399 --> 01:35:04.520 by trying to rely on the sun to power literally everything. 1624 01:35:04.600 --> 01:35:08.119 I'm smarter than that. But I watch as other countries 1625 01:35:08.199 --> 01:35:12.159 benefiting unbelievably in terms of their building of their economy. 1626 01:35:12.159 --> 01:35:12.760 The Chinese. 1627 01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:16.680 Chinese are a perfect example. They push this global warming 1628 01:35:16.720 --> 01:35:18.640 stuff on the rest of the world through all of 1629 01:35:18.640 --> 01:35:22.600 their connectivity with social media and influencing and all that, 1630 01:35:22.840 --> 01:35:25.319 and yet they do not lift a finger. They are 1631 01:35:25.359 --> 01:35:29.279 not interested in committing economic suicide. They burn coal, they 1632 01:35:29.319 --> 01:35:33.359 still build coal plants, they do anything they damn well please, 1633 01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:37.039 while they manufacture all of the green stuff that we 1634 01:35:37.199 --> 01:35:43.119 think we need to rely on. Completely. It's just absolute insanity. 1635 01:35:42.439 --> 01:35:47.560 Brigham, Amen, Amen, it is in fact. And you know, 1636 01:35:48.319 --> 01:35:50.640 if you look just a couple miles away from me, 1637 01:35:50.720 --> 01:35:54.000 down down Pennsylvania Avenue at the White House, you know 1638 01:35:54.119 --> 01:35:57.039 for the last four years, you've heard this administration to 1639 01:35:57.079 --> 01:36:01.399 Biden Harris administration talk about, well, we compete with China 1640 01:36:01.479 --> 01:36:05.359 over here, but in climate they agree with us on climate. 1641 01:36:05.479 --> 01:36:06.680 We are cooperating. 1642 01:36:07.279 --> 01:36:12.920 Now, Brian, it's unilateral economic disarmament. They want us to 1643 01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:16.479 believe all this nonsense because they want us to destroy 1644 01:36:17.119 --> 01:36:21.439 what's left of our industrial base, to destroy what's left 1645 01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:26.600 of American and American strength energy. I mean, a lot 1646 01:36:26.600 --> 01:36:29.359 of countries don't have the natural resources that we have. 1647 01:36:29.880 --> 01:36:30.880 Japan has to. 1648 01:36:30.840 --> 01:36:33.920 Import almost all of its raw materials and energy. But 1649 01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:37.880 American we're blessed with this. Why on earth would we 1650 01:36:37.920 --> 01:36:41.760 take one of our biggest markers off the table. 1651 01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:45.920 That is a legitimate question, and the only thing that 1652 01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.840 I've been able to conclude over the years, Brigand, is 1653 01:36:49.880 --> 01:36:54.199 that there are you know, these the globalist mentality forces 1654 01:36:54.199 --> 01:36:58.680 out there, those that wish to control us, generally speaking, 1655 01:36:59.279 --> 01:37:03.279 see us as the outlier. We're the big wart, We're 1656 01:37:03.319 --> 01:37:05.479 the ones that stick out. And why do we stick out? 1657 01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:10.399 Because freedom, independence, capitalism, and an abundance of energy has 1658 01:37:10.479 --> 01:37:14.800 built an economy that nobody in the world can compete with. 1659 01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:17.600 And because of that, they want to take all our 1660 01:37:17.600 --> 01:37:20.960 money and redistribute it. They want to kneecappus. They want 1661 01:37:21.039 --> 01:37:24.199 us to commit this suicide in the name of global 1662 01:37:24.359 --> 01:37:28.239 climate change or something, so we flatten out our economy 1663 01:37:28.319 --> 01:37:30.399 so the rest of the world can. Well, we can 1664 01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:32.359 join the rest of the world and be equally poor. 1665 01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:36.239 I mean, it sounds conspiratorial, but that's the only conclusion 1666 01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:38.760 I can be left with, Brigham. 1667 01:37:38.920 --> 01:37:41.560 Well, I think you're onto something because another part of 1668 01:37:41.640 --> 01:37:45.960 President Trump's pillars and re establishing our economy. He's not 1669 01:37:46.039 --> 01:37:48.439 opposed to trade. People are freaking out all over the 1670 01:37:48.479 --> 01:37:51.159 place right now, right, this is his opening move. This 1671 01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:56.279 is fantastic. He's not opposed to trade. He wants fair trade, 1672 01:37:56.680 --> 01:38:00.520 not free trade. And a lot of the trade we've 1673 01:38:00.560 --> 01:38:04.000 made the Parish climate change. This all goes in the 1674 01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:08.439 same bucket of giving away our stuff to other people. 1675 01:38:08.600 --> 01:38:14.279 And you cannot save, cut, conserve your way to prosperity. 1676 01:38:14.520 --> 01:38:17.079 That's not how it works. And I think he gets well, 1677 01:38:17.119 --> 01:38:20.399 I know he gets that, and his new administration gets that, 1678 01:38:20.880 --> 01:38:22.840 and hence the make America great again. 1679 01:38:22.880 --> 01:38:24.760 All right, let's pause with bring Briga McComb back. We 1680 01:38:24.800 --> 01:38:27.640 got lots more to talk about from the Hudson Instituit 1681 01:38:27.800 --> 01:38:30.520 Hudson dot org is where you find them online, and 1682 01:38:30.560 --> 01:38:33.159 I recommend you check out what they have to say. 1683 01:38:33.239 --> 01:38:36.479 It's seven thirty seven fifty five KRECD talk station. And 1684 01:38:36.840 --> 01:38:39.560 I want to mention USA intilation speaking of energy and 1685 01:38:39.720 --> 01:38:42.439 energy is expensive. It gets more expensive. Why Well, maybe 1686 01:38:42.479 --> 01:38:43.840 for some of the reasons that Brigham and I are 1687 01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:46.039 counting on. But regardless of the reasons your bills are 1688 01:38:46.079 --> 01:38:48.600 going up, I don't see any end insight to that. 1689 01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:51.560 And even if they didn't go up, let's just say 1690 01:38:52.039 --> 01:38:54.920 theoretically they went down, they can go down a lot 1691 01:38:55.000 --> 01:38:57.840 further if you have your home properly insulated with USA's 1692 01:38:57.880 --> 01:39:00.279 premium foam, highest OAR value foam in the market. Right 1693 01:39:00.279 --> 01:39:04.800 here in Ohio, thousands and thousands of homes are enjoying 1694 01:39:04.840 --> 01:39:07.319 the comfort and energy savings from the USA over the 1695 01:39:07.399 --> 01:39:09.760 years and years. Can be one of them. Two get 1696 01:39:09.760 --> 01:39:12.319 a free inspection. The inspection will determine whether you have 1697 01:39:12.359 --> 01:39:15.399 any insulation in your walls and also whether you are 1698 01:39:15.520 --> 01:39:19.560 under insulated. Again, my daughter, my favorite example, late seventies 1699 01:39:19.600 --> 01:39:22.880 build old R twelve that was when it was installed, 1700 01:39:22.880 --> 01:39:24.800 and it doesn't even have R twelve anymore. So we 1701 01:39:24.880 --> 01:39:27.199 got the phone for them for a housewarming gift, and 1702 01:39:27.279 --> 01:39:29.439 now they are enjoying the comfort and savings brought about 1703 01:39:29.479 --> 01:39:31.399 by the phone in the exterior walls. You can do 1704 01:39:31.439 --> 01:39:35.000 the same thing. Get a free quote, and remember right now, 1705 01:39:35.199 --> 01:39:39.079 you may save more than the cost the monthly payment 1706 01:39:39.119 --> 01:39:41.319 for the phone, because it's only ninety nine dollars a 1707 01:39:41.319 --> 01:39:43.159 month interest free, and there's a lot of folks out 1708 01:39:43.199 --> 01:39:45.840 there that have saved more than that, so call it 1709 01:39:45.880 --> 01:39:47.920 a wash. Or even if you don't reach the ninety 1710 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:50.760 nine dollars month interest free amount, you're saving some It 1711 01:39:50.960 --> 01:39:54.680 ultimately pays for itself. Government wants you to do it 1712 01:39:54.720 --> 01:39:56.720 as well. They're offering you a twelve hundred dollars energy 1713 01:39:56.720 --> 01:39:58.800 tax credit, which is like them writing you a check 1714 01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:00.239 for twelve hundred dollars, so you can do that on 1715 01:40:00.279 --> 01:40:03.239 your taxes next year and you're going to enjoy immediate 1716 01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:06.920 comfort change the day it's installed. Average home less than 1717 01:40:06.920 --> 01:40:09.520 a day for installation three eight one three six two 1718 01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:12.319 six five one three three eight one foam fine them 1719 01:40:12.359 --> 01:40:14.000 online USA installation dot in. 1720 01:40:14.039 --> 01:40:15.840 At fifty five KRC. 1721 01:40:16.520 --> 01:40:19.760 Jenn I first one eleve of foecash some snows showing up. 1722 01:40:19.800 --> 01:40:23.239 Maybe spotty snow after three pm.

There's a multiple car wreck on the ramp 1734 01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:58.199 from sixth Street to southbound seventy five northbounds, running an 1735 01:40:58.199 --> 01:41:02.560 extra half hour between Flora and downtown. Chuck Ingramont fifty 1736 01:41:02.560 --> 01:41:04.560 five per se the talk station. 1737 01:41:07.000 --> 01:41:09.760 Fifty five Kerr City Talks. In talk station Ryan Thomas 1738 01:41:09.840 --> 01:41:12.119 was bringing a down from the Hudson Institute online Hudson 1739 01:41:12.159 --> 01:41:15.239 dot org, talking energy policy and Brigham you mentioned and 1740 01:41:15.640 --> 01:41:18.520 moving just slightly away from and I know it's all interconnected. 1741 01:41:18.560 --> 01:41:22.039 But going back to your statement about fair trade and 1742 01:41:22.039 --> 01:41:24.199 the concept of fair trade, I know that's where these 1743 01:41:24.239 --> 01:41:28.439 tariffs come in, because it is literally impossible to have 1744 01:41:28.800 --> 01:41:32.159 fair trade with a country like China. They don't have OSHA, 1745 01:41:32.199 --> 01:41:33.920 they don't have a regulatory scheme, they don't have an 1746 01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:38.239 environmental protection agency, they don't give a crap about anything 1747 01:41:38.319 --> 01:41:42.119 at all. They also have slave labor. So how is 1748 01:41:42.159 --> 01:41:45.399 it you could ever achieve quote unquote fair trade with 1749 01:41:45.479 --> 01:41:48.199 a country that has such a substantial advantage in terms 1750 01:41:48.239 --> 01:41:52.119 of manufacturing at a discount compared to what our companies 1751 01:41:52.119 --> 01:41:56.079 here have to deal with under our regulatory environment. Hut Brigham. 1752 01:41:57.399 --> 01:42:00.239 Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's a great point. At it's 1753 01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:04.079 actually very difficult. And you may remember back some years 1754 01:42:04.079 --> 01:42:07.000 ago when we let China into d G seven and 1755 01:42:07.319 --> 01:42:16.159 into the World Trade Organization. The wto the thought was, gosh, 1756 01:42:16.159 --> 01:42:18.359 if we traded, we'd all become friends. 1757 01:42:18.479 --> 01:42:19.439 You guys wouldn't be. 1758 01:42:19.560 --> 01:42:23.039 Communists any longer, you would support freedom, we'll all get along. 1759 01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:23.680 Well. 1760 01:42:23.760 --> 01:42:27.560 One of President Trump's current advisors, Robert Leiitthheiser, who was 1761 01:42:28.159 --> 01:42:31.840 the US Trade rep said that is a mistake. And 1762 01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:34.039 everybody said, oh, you don't know what you're talking about. Well, 1763 01:42:34.039 --> 01:42:38.760 he was right. It is difficult because every single company 1764 01:42:39.000 --> 01:42:43.800 in China is owned by the Communist Party of China. 1765 01:42:45.239 --> 01:42:49.319 In no, yeah, there is no free market. And Brian 1766 01:42:49.520 --> 01:42:51.199 and I know you know this, some of your listeners 1767 01:42:51.199 --> 01:42:54.159 may not. They all have to swear allegiance to the 1768 01:42:54.239 --> 01:42:56.880 state and that they will do everything possible to put 1769 01:42:56.920 --> 01:43:02.640 the state first, including espionage, spying, stealing of intellectual property, 1770 01:43:03.119 --> 01:43:08.600 all of that. And unless and until America can restore deterrence, 1771 01:43:10.199 --> 01:43:17.119 military deterrence with Taiwan, economic deterrence, energy deterrence, that's how 1772 01:43:17.199 --> 01:43:21.720 you get these people to understand you. You don't deal 1773 01:43:21.760 --> 01:43:24.680 with a playground bully by ignoring them, right, you. 1774 01:43:25.079 --> 01:43:26.359 Have to stand up to them. 1775 01:43:27.000 --> 01:43:29.800 And that's not if we have not been doing that. 1776 01:43:30.079 --> 01:43:35.000 And fast fact, China now emits more carbon. If you're 1777 01:43:35.119 --> 01:43:38.680 keeping track of carbon and greenhouse gases, then the rest 1778 01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:43.960 of the industrial world combined, we can all hold our 1779 01:43:44.000 --> 01:43:46.000 breaths and it wouldn't make a darn bit of difference 1780 01:43:46.239 --> 01:43:47.600 even if you felt it would. 1781 01:43:47.880 --> 01:43:51.720 Well, again, another illustration of the stupidity of trying to 1782 01:43:51.840 --> 01:43:55.800 control the emissions, at least in terms of naturally occurring 1783 01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:59.560 emissions like carbon dioxide. I mean, you can keep you know, 1784 01:43:59.680 --> 01:44:02.359 benz out of the air. You can take lead out 1785 01:44:02.359 --> 01:44:05.119 of gasoline and keep that from out of the air 1786 01:44:05.399 --> 01:44:09.039 and still have an efficient internal combustion engine. So there 1787 01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:12.880 are technological advances we can make to keep toxic chemicals out. 1788 01:44:13.039 --> 01:44:15.960 But carbon dioxide isn't toxic. It's plant food. 1789 01:44:16.680 --> 01:44:17.039 And you know. 1790 01:44:17.199 --> 01:44:20.079 Yeah, And I going back to your point on the 1791 01:44:20.119 --> 01:44:23.079 economic realities of China. They didn't play along. I think 1792 01:44:23.079 --> 01:44:25.880 that was Nixon's idea of opening up free trade with China. Well, 1793 01:44:25.880 --> 01:44:27.720 if we just trade with them, they're enemies of the 1794 01:44:27.720 --> 01:44:30.960 Soviet Union. But looking at the Soviet Union and our 1795 01:44:30.960 --> 01:44:34.920 policies toward them and all the other Western nations, nobody 1796 01:44:35.079 --> 01:44:39.000 traded with them. They were isolated, and they fell apart 1797 01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:43.159 and collapsed economically for a multitude of reasons, but most 1798 01:44:43.199 --> 01:44:46.760 notably because we wouldn't engage in commerce and industry with them. 1799 01:44:47.000 --> 01:44:48.800 We choked them off. And if the rest of the 1800 01:44:48.840 --> 01:44:51.239 world decided to choke off the Chinese and they wouldn't 1801 01:44:51.239 --> 01:44:54.000 be able to build their military industrial complex. 1802 01:44:55.279 --> 01:44:56.279 You're exactly right. 1803 01:44:56.359 --> 01:45:00.159 And I think you'll also see speaking of speak King 1804 01:45:00.319 --> 01:45:04.600 of sanctions, a return to maximum pressure on Iran because 1805 01:45:05.079 --> 01:45:07.880 the last four years have not been good. We've given 1806 01:45:07.960 --> 01:45:10.159 them billions of dollars and they have sowed hate and 1807 01:45:10.239 --> 01:45:14.960 discontent all throughout the Middle East. But real quickly, we 1808 01:45:15.039 --> 01:45:18.000 talk about a lot of these energy pieces. Just uploaded 1809 01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:21.960 a new version of Charged Conversation speaking of Higheart Radio, 1810 01:45:22.039 --> 01:45:24.039 where you can find it there or any other place 1811 01:45:24.079 --> 01:45:27.079 you find your podcast, where we talk about some of 1812 01:45:27.119 --> 01:45:30.479 the background and some of the political philosophy that has 1813 01:45:30.560 --> 01:45:35.680 gotten into this this climate debate, and it's really not 1814 01:45:35.720 --> 01:45:39.439 about climate debate, as you've pointed out, it's anti capitalism 1815 01:45:40.000 --> 01:45:41.840 and a lot of people are starting to wake up 1816 01:45:41.880 --> 01:45:44.800 and realize they've been lied to. So point in fact 1817 01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:48.319 that you just mentioned in our atmosphere, seventy eight percent 1818 01:45:48.319 --> 01:45:51.920 of our atmosphere is nitrogen, about twenty one percent is oxygen, 1819 01:45:52.279 --> 01:45:54.760 one percent is argone gas. That's the stuff that goes 1820 01:45:54.800 --> 01:45:59.640 in neon lights. It's also harmless, although it is an 1821 01:45:59.680 --> 01:46:04.119 oxygen and displacement that machines. When we get down to it, 1822 01:46:04.800 --> 01:46:09.920 we have four to one hundreds of one percent of 1823 01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:13.039 our atmosphere is carbon. 1824 01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:17.079 Dioxide plant food, plant. 1825 01:46:16.800 --> 01:46:20.640 Food less than four to one hundreds of one percent, 1826 01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:24.920 and as best as we can tell, humans are responsible 1827 01:46:25.840 --> 01:46:30.840 for sixteen If I'm reading this right, how many decimal 1828 01:46:30.880 --> 01:46:34.760 places is for tens hundreds thousand, ten thousands, sixteen to 1829 01:46:34.880 --> 01:46:37.159 ten thousandths of one percent. 1830 01:46:37.680 --> 01:46:42.960 Yeah, it's not a thing. It's nothing. It's absolutely nothing. 1831 01:46:43.359 --> 01:46:45.079 And you know what, really, really, and I'm going to 1832 01:46:45.199 --> 01:46:48.399 use the words pisses me off, recognizing that some people's 1833 01:46:48.479 --> 01:46:51.920 sensitivities may be bothered by that, but at that level 1834 01:46:52.000 --> 01:46:54.720 that I'm uttering it out loud. I was reading about 1835 01:46:56.279 --> 01:46:59.119 the so called Inflation Reduction Act, which was really the 1836 01:46:59.119 --> 01:47:02.319 Green New Deal project, and all of the programs and 1837 01:47:02.520 --> 01:47:06.000 incentives and millions and billions of dollars that are going 1838 01:47:06.039 --> 01:47:09.479 to various states for the purposes of carbon capture. And 1839 01:47:09.560 --> 01:47:14.840 to see Republican administration officials in those those dollar receiving 1840 01:47:14.920 --> 01:47:19.640 states fight to keep things like carbon capture just because 1841 01:47:19.760 --> 01:47:23.880 it benefits their bottom line. There reveals the reality and 1842 01:47:23.880 --> 01:47:26.880 the nefarious nature of all of this. It's really just 1843 01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:30.399 a it's wealth redistribution by another name, and it flows 1844 01:47:30.439 --> 01:47:34.600 into the coffers of administrations regardless of political stripes, and 1845 01:47:34.640 --> 01:47:36.800 once they get hooked on the opium that that is 1846 01:47:37.079 --> 01:47:39.680 they won't let it go to our detriment. 1847 01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:42.640 Yeah, we are. 1848 01:47:42.800 --> 01:47:45.920 The government is creating a false economy that is not 1849 01:47:46.079 --> 01:47:49.600 based on products or services that people want to purchase, 1850 01:47:50.560 --> 01:47:54.439 and that can only be sustained so long as you 1851 01:47:54.600 --> 01:47:58.760 have these tax breaks or tax credits or other pieces. 1852 01:47:59.520 --> 01:48:03.359 And I think getting back to President Trump on his 1853 01:48:03.479 --> 01:48:08.039 all the above strategy, which is actually something both parties 1854 01:48:08.159 --> 01:48:10.600 used to embrace. Yep, you want to buy an EV, great, 1855 01:48:10.920 --> 01:48:12.279 buy a EV, but I'm not going to make you 1856 01:48:12.319 --> 01:48:15.359 buy one. You want solar panels on your roof, perfect, 1857 01:48:15.920 --> 01:48:19.760 you know you want nuclear fantastic. We're gonna need it all, 1858 01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:21.680 and we're going to need it where it makes the 1859 01:48:21.720 --> 01:48:26.319 most amount of sense. And the things that are economically 1860 01:48:26.439 --> 01:48:32.720 viable are going to survive. Your Elon Musk knows about 1861 01:48:33.039 --> 01:48:35.439 you build stuff that people want. You can have the 1862 01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:37.239 greatest idea in the world, but no E's going to 1863 01:48:37.279 --> 01:48:41.079 pay you for it. Only the government creates an industry 1864 01:48:41.119 --> 01:48:41.920 that doesn't exist. 1865 01:48:42.000 --> 01:48:44.920 Right exactly, Now, where do you think DEI came from? 1866 01:48:44.920 --> 01:48:47.640 Which college education folks came out with degrees and something 1867 01:48:47.680 --> 01:48:49.680 where there was no market for them. So, well, we're 1868 01:48:49.680 --> 01:48:52.199 going to make everybody have a DEI department, in their company, 1869 01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:54.760 in their in their in their college, and their business, 1870 01:48:54.760 --> 01:48:59.039 and we'll employ all these people who otherwise have valueless degrees. 1871 01:49:00.359 --> 01:49:02.920 Brigham Acgown Hudson dot org is where you find the 1872 01:49:02.960 --> 01:49:07.079 Hudson Institute Charged Conversation.

Congressman Massy. It is always my just 1916 01:51:19.159 --> 01:51:21.159 think pleasure to have you on the program sir. 1917 01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:23.920 Great to be on the show with you this morning, Brian. 1918 01:51:24.119 --> 01:51:26.920 We did a lot of discussion yesterday abt the unfolding 1919 01:51:27.560 --> 01:51:30.319 situation in Syria, and that was the first topic that 1920 01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:33.920 we're gonna be talking about this morning. And there are 1921 01:51:33.960 --> 01:51:36.039 no love loss for Ushar al asade I don't know 1922 01:51:36.039 --> 01:51:37.640 a human being on the planet that thought he was 1923 01:51:37.680 --> 01:51:38.319 a great guyer. 1924 01:51:38.359 --> 01:51:39.039 That is a good thing. 1925 01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:43.079 He was empowered, obviously a ruthless dictator, killed hundreds of 1926 01:51:43.119 --> 01:51:47.720 thousands and people, tortured tens of thousands of people. He's 1927 01:51:47.760 --> 01:51:51.760 now gone. But what happens now in the aftermath with 1928 01:51:51.880 --> 01:51:55.319 the rebel forces taking over the country. Aren't these rebels 1929 01:51:55.319 --> 01:51:59.119 made up and comprised of largely Islamic fundamentalists. 1930 01:52:00.039 --> 01:52:03.640 Well, the person in charge now is the head of 1931 01:52:03.880 --> 01:52:08.319 a terrorist organization designated as a terrorist organization by the 1932 01:52:08.439 --> 01:52:14.840 US government. And so we've got the ironic situation where 1933 01:52:15.600 --> 01:52:18.600 people in America, in our State Department, are celebrating their 1934 01:52:18.640 --> 01:52:22.680 success in installing a terrorist organization at the head of 1935 01:52:22.680 --> 01:52:27.920 a sovereign country. I mean, meanwhile, we've been meddling there 1936 01:52:28.119 --> 01:52:32.600 for over a decade. I was elected in twenty twelve 1937 01:52:32.640 --> 01:52:36.239 and took office in November twenty twelve, and by the 1938 01:52:36.279 --> 01:52:39.439 spring of twenty thirteen, I was already offering bills and 1939 01:52:39.479 --> 01:52:43.880 resolutions to get us out of Syria. And we had 1940 01:52:43.920 --> 01:52:46.520 a vote. We were going to have a vote when 1941 01:52:46.560 --> 01:52:49.960 Obama was president on whether to go to war in Syria, 1942 01:52:50.079 --> 01:52:54.439 to put US troops there, and people rallied around the 1943 01:52:54.520 --> 01:52:57.000 United States and said, we don't want a war in Syria. 1944 01:52:57.079 --> 01:52:59.359 So we didn't do a war in Syria. But what 1945 01:52:59.560 --> 01:53:02.079 happened and I've got to put I'm doing air quotes 1946 01:53:02.159 --> 01:53:04.920 right now at my desk here in DC. According to 1947 01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:10.880 the New York Times, we spent a billion dollars on 1948 01:53:11.000 --> 01:53:16.000 a clandestine program in Syria after refused to vote to 1949 01:53:16.000 --> 01:53:19.279 go to war there. According to the New York Times 1950 01:53:19.359 --> 01:53:28.560 air quotes, we basically undertook an operation to destabilize Asad 1951 01:53:28.760 --> 01:53:32.640 in Syria, and it was multi year, multi prong operation. 1952 01:53:33.720 --> 01:53:40.720 When Trump came into office, Pompeo basically reversed a lot 1953 01:53:40.760 --> 01:53:44.560 of that, and then it all went back into place 1954 01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:49.239 after Biden took over, And frankly, I would say probably 1955 01:53:49.239 --> 01:53:51.840 when when Trump was there, it didn't completely stop either. 1956 01:53:52.319 --> 01:53:56.520 I mean, the State Department, the Deep State was not 1957 01:53:56.560 --> 01:54:00.279 going to be deterred by mere surface nuisance, i e. 1958 01:54:00.279 --> 01:54:05.399 Elected officials. They kept on with this, and meanwhile, hundreds 1959 01:54:05.399 --> 01:54:09.319 of thousands of Christians were displaced in this country. And 1960 01:54:09.359 --> 01:54:12.359 I'm not saying that you know that we shouldn't worry 1961 01:54:12.399 --> 01:54:15.680 about the other people who were affected by meddling over there. 1962 01:54:15.720 --> 01:54:19.479 We absolutely should. But Christians in the United States who 1963 01:54:19.760 --> 01:54:23.720 might find themselves cheering this recent development need to understand. 1964 01:54:24.800 --> 01:54:27.880 As you said, Asad was not a nice guy, but 1965 01:54:27.920 --> 01:54:30.880 the Christians were much better off over there under him. 1966 01:54:31.199 --> 01:54:34.119 He protected them because he was an allow eight or whatever. 1967 01:54:34.159 --> 01:54:37.159 His minority group was ten percent of the population. But 1968 01:54:37.239 --> 01:54:41.159 he protected his crew, but he also provided protection for Christians. 1969 01:54:41.600 --> 01:54:44.039 So yeah, I mean, you're gonna have to break this 1970 01:54:44.119 --> 01:54:47.319 down for me, because I'm really confused. Didn't the Iranians 1971 01:54:47.920 --> 01:54:50.760 support the b Charlesade regime or have I got that 1972 01:54:50.880 --> 01:54:51.479 upside down? 1973 01:54:51.880 --> 01:54:52.680 No, that's correct. 1974 01:54:52.720 --> 01:54:57.359 Okay, So wait a second Biden administration and Obama was 1975 01:54:57.399 --> 01:54:59.920 all about supporting the Iranians. We gave him millions of 1976 01:55:00.479 --> 01:55:03.359 gave them, you know, truckloads of money, literally pallets of money, 1977 01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:06.640 lightened sanctions on the Iranians, I suppose, with the hope 1978 01:55:06.640 --> 01:55:08.960 that they wouldn't develop a nuclear weapon. How is it 1979 01:55:09.399 --> 01:55:12.520 that by helping the Iranians in that way, but then 1980 01:55:12.560 --> 01:55:17.680 trying to undermine Syria, which the Iranians support, And was 1981 01:55:17.760 --> 01:55:21.560 there an endgame contemplated when we were spending billions of 1982 01:55:21.600 --> 01:55:25.640 dollars trying to undermine the Bashar Ali Shad regime? I mean, 1983 01:55:25.640 --> 01:55:28.039 what were we hoping to accomplish by doing that? Did 1984 01:55:28.039 --> 01:55:30.239 we not think about what would happen if he did fault? 1985 01:55:30.439 --> 01:55:32.000 Like what's happening right now? 1986 01:55:33.000 --> 01:55:37.720 Well, I think that Syria and Assad was just a 1987 01:55:37.800 --> 01:55:41.039 pawn in a much larger global game here. And this 1988 01:55:41.079 --> 01:55:42.960 is why they won't tell you what our goals are 1989 01:55:43.199 --> 01:55:44.880 because they don't want you to know the goals. But 1990 01:55:45.000 --> 01:55:47.960 now that they're celebrating, you can see what they're celebrating 1991 01:55:48.840 --> 01:55:53.319 they're celebrating an embarrassment to Russia because Russia was also 1992 01:55:53.960 --> 01:55:57.640 one of the supporters of ASAD. And again they were 1993 01:55:57.680 --> 01:56:02.000 in there, not particularly because they ideologically care about ASAD 1994 01:56:02.119 --> 01:56:03.880 or any of the things going on there. This was 1995 01:56:03.920 --> 01:56:08.000 a proxy, proxy hot war, not a Cold War, but 1996 01:56:08.079 --> 01:56:11.119 a continuation, I would say, of the Cold War, reigniting 1997 01:56:11.159 --> 01:56:14.000 of the Cold War. And it was a proxy hot 1998 01:56:14.039 --> 01:56:19.000 war civil war in Syria with American interests on one side, 1999 01:56:19.039 --> 01:56:21.239 although I'm not sure what they were other than opposing 2000 01:56:21.279 --> 01:56:25.840 Iran in Russia and Russia and Iranian interests on another side, 2001 01:56:25.920 --> 01:56:29.439 although I'm not sure what those were other than opposing America. 2002 01:56:29.760 --> 01:56:32.439 And in the meantime, you've got millions of people who 2003 01:56:32.479 --> 01:56:35.520 were suffering. So I think the people there are a 2004 01:56:35.560 --> 01:56:38.479 lot of people in Syria who are just glad that 2005 01:56:38.520 --> 01:56:40.880 it's over to some degree, but we don't know what's 2006 01:56:40.880 --> 01:56:45.880 coming next. This terrorist organization that's running Syria at this point, 2007 01:56:46.159 --> 01:56:50.920 again designated by our own State Department, the ones who 2008 01:56:50.960 --> 01:56:56.000 did this as a terrorist organization, they started with al Qaeda. 2009 01:56:56.079 --> 01:56:58.960 Now they say they've severed their ties to al Qaeda 2010 01:56:59.000 --> 01:57:01.479 and al Ustra, all this and that and the other 2011 01:57:01.520 --> 01:57:05.680 thing but they're still comprised of the same rebels that 2012 01:57:05.720 --> 01:57:09.399 they were when they were al Qaeda. So it'll be 2013 01:57:09.439 --> 01:57:12.039 interesting to see what comes next. Maybe maybe the trains 2014 01:57:12.039 --> 01:57:14.680 will run on time, maybe the buses will run, maybe 2015 01:57:14.720 --> 01:57:17.279 the shops will be open. But we'll see. It's not 2016 01:57:17.399 --> 01:57:21.199 worked out well in other countries. And meanwhile, get ready, 2017 01:57:21.399 --> 01:57:23.760 we're gonna hear all of these reasons why we need 2018 01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:27.840 to take more refugees into this country from the Middle 2019 01:57:27.880 --> 01:57:29.199 East because of what happened. 2020 01:57:29.920 --> 01:57:33.319 Well, well, yes, like day following night, that of course 2021 01:57:33.359 --> 01:57:36.279 will be the reality there. Going back to your earlier 2022 01:57:36.279 --> 01:57:38.640 comment though, because this is a subject matter the judge, 2023 01:57:38.840 --> 01:57:40.920 Judge and I talk about all the time. Judge and Politano. 2024 01:57:41.439 --> 01:57:44.720 You said earlier on that there was a vote on 2025 01:57:44.800 --> 01:57:47.479 whether we would be entering into war with Syria. Was 2026 01:57:47.520 --> 01:57:51.079 that a vote to declare war like is required by 2027 01:57:51.079 --> 01:57:53.880 the Constitution or was it a vote to just sort 2028 01:57:53.880 --> 01:57:57.840 of like authorization for use of military force, which I 2029 01:57:57.920 --> 01:57:59.600 think is extra constitutional. 2030 01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:03.239 Well, it was going to be the extra constitutional variety 2031 01:58:04.000 --> 01:58:07.520 at AUMF. But here's what happened. Obama threw it to Congress, 2032 01:58:08.159 --> 01:58:11.560 and Pelosi was all in. John Bayner was all in. 2033 01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:13.920 I suppose the leaders in the Senate were all in. 2034 01:58:14.600 --> 01:58:17.600 But we received one hundred phone calls a day each 2035 01:58:17.640 --> 01:58:22.119 congressional office from our own constituents, which is a record. 2036 01:58:22.279 --> 01:58:24.479 This past week, there was one day I received no 2037 01:58:24.600 --> 01:58:27.880 phone calls from any constituents to my office. So to 2038 01:58:27.920 --> 01:58:30.279 get a hundred phone calls as remarkable. Now I know, 2039 01:58:30.359 --> 01:58:35.159 I just invited at least three dozen phone calls on 2040 01:58:35.239 --> 01:58:38.880 my staff today, which is fine. We were listening. Operators 2041 01:58:38.880 --> 01:58:42.239 are standing by. But we had one hundred phone calls 2042 01:58:42.239 --> 01:58:45.000 a day for a solid week, and everybody wanted us 2043 01:58:45.039 --> 01:58:47.520 not to vote to go to war or to do 2044 01:58:47.560 --> 01:58:50.760 the AUMF and SIA. So what they did is the 2045 01:58:50.840 --> 01:58:55.239 vote never happened. They quietly didn't vote on it at 2046 01:58:55.239 --> 01:58:58.720 all because they knew American support wasn't there for it. 2047 01:58:59.239 --> 01:59:03.640 And then they, according to the New York Times, undertook 2048 01:59:03.760 --> 01:59:06.119 a secret war in Syria. 2049 01:59:07.199 --> 01:59:11.119 Wow, which doesn't surprise me. We have our fingers literally 2050 01:59:11.199 --> 01:59:14.000 everywhere around the globe for reasons that are mysterious and 2051 01:59:14.119 --> 01:59:14.840 unknown to me. 2052 01:59:15.119 --> 01:59:18.479 So and one more thing about the mysterious and the unknown, 2053 01:59:19.840 --> 01:59:22.600 the timing of this. Look, who's going to be the 2054 01:59:22.640 --> 01:59:25.760 head of d and I Tulci Gabbert. She's the one who, 2055 01:59:26.479 --> 01:59:29.319 along with me, was famously opposed to our meddling there. 2056 01:59:29.359 --> 01:59:33.920 She even went to Syria, she visited Syria, and now 2057 01:59:33.960 --> 01:59:37.000 she's being named into this cabinet. And Trump is the 2058 01:59:37.000 --> 01:59:40.119 one during his administration we had troops there. He tried 2059 01:59:40.159 --> 01:59:42.079 to pull our troops out, and then the deep state 2060 01:59:42.159 --> 01:59:44.239 tried to go after him for that, tried to say, 2061 01:59:44.239 --> 01:59:47.000 you can't do that. We had votes in Congress. The 2062 01:59:47.039 --> 01:59:49.760 timing of this is I think as soon as the 2063 01:59:49.800 --> 01:59:53.479 November election results were in and Trump was declared the winner, 2064 01:59:54.039 --> 01:59:57.720 our deep state and some of our global allies went 2065 01:59:57.760 --> 02:00:01.840 into overdrive to bring this to a to you know, 2066 02:00:02.119 --> 02:00:05.439 consummate the overthrow before Trump could get in there or 2067 02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:07.920 Tulsi Gabbard or some of the other people who have 2068 02:00:08.279 --> 02:00:12.159 questioned this policy of overthrowing a said, I mean, if 2069 02:00:12.479 --> 02:00:14.560 if a turtle gets on a fence post, it didn't 2070 02:00:14.600 --> 02:00:18.119 get there by the by accident, right exactly. This cool. 2071 02:00:18.199 --> 02:00:22.439 The timing here is remarkable, and I'm gonna call it 2072 02:00:22.479 --> 02:00:24.560 for what it is. They just got this done before 2073 02:00:24.600 --> 02:00:26.159 Trump could get in there and stop it. 2074 02:00:26.479 --> 02:00:29.439 Yeah, no doubt, and just real quick here, I'm reminded 2075 02:00:29.479 --> 02:00:32.439 of Afghanistan when the Russians went into Afghanistan. That was 2076 02:00:32.439 --> 02:00:34.840 back when they were the Soviet Union, and we you know, 2077 02:00:34.880 --> 02:00:36.760 the enemy of my enemy is my friends. We would 2078 02:00:36.760 --> 02:00:39.479 fund the majah Haadeen to fight the Russians, which made 2079 02:00:39.600 --> 02:00:41.880 us look good. But then again, when the Russians get 2080 02:00:41.960 --> 02:00:44.159 kicked out, that leaves the power void, and then the 2081 02:00:44.199 --> 02:00:47.880 Majahadeen then becomes the enemy of us, right, and we 2082 02:00:47.960 --> 02:00:51.319 end up fight fundamental as terrorists. And it's just it's 2083 02:00:51.359 --> 02:00:52.920 a Charlie Fox trot. If I mean to be so 2084 02:00:53.000 --> 02:00:55.479 bold as to call it that, Can I just ask 2085 02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:57.239 it real briefly because we're gonna take a break, I'm 2086 02:00:57.279 --> 02:00:59.199 and bring it back talk about the topics. But did 2087 02:00:59.199 --> 02:01:00.840 we miss an opportun unity with the fall of the 2088 02:01:00.840 --> 02:01:02.600 Berlin Wall and the fall of the Soviet Union to 2089 02:01:02.680 --> 02:01:04.560 just sort of make good and play nice with the 2090 02:01:04.600 --> 02:01:06.520 Russians and sort of you know, maybe perhaps trading with 2091 02:01:06.560 --> 02:01:09.800 them rather than just viewing them as the Soviet Union 2092 02:01:09.920 --> 02:01:13.279 just under different guys. Did we miss an opportunity because 2093 02:01:13.319 --> 02:01:15.479 we've been playing nice with the Chinese, much to the 2094 02:01:15.560 --> 02:01:18.439 Chinese benefit, since Nixon was in office. And look what 2095 02:01:18.520 --> 02:01:20.600 happened to them. I mean, they did not become a 2096 02:01:20.600 --> 02:01:23.800 capitalist country. They became our mortal enemy. Yet we still 2097 02:01:23.840 --> 02:01:26.359 continue to trade with them. But I just didn't see 2098 02:01:26.399 --> 02:01:28.800 that unfolding in Russia in the fall the Soviet Union. 2099 02:01:29.319 --> 02:01:31.960 We didn't just miss an opportunity, We poisoned the well 2100 02:01:32.039 --> 02:01:34.960 by expanding NATO. We told them, okay, you do this, 2101 02:01:35.239 --> 02:01:40.159 you concede everything to us, you make nice, we'll trade 2102 02:01:40.159 --> 02:01:42.680 with you, and we won't expand NATO. And then what 2103 02:01:42.720 --> 02:01:46.640 do we do. We just keep expanding NATO. And that's frankly, 2104 02:01:46.680 --> 02:01:49.439 what Ukraine was about. So you're right, we missed an opportunity, 2105 02:01:49.479 --> 02:01:52.640 but we also poisoned the well. And it's a shame 2106 02:01:52.840 --> 02:01:58.199 because our real competitors in this next century are China is, 2107 02:01:58.319 --> 02:02:02.079 China here and whatever alliance they can build, and they're 2108 02:02:02.119 --> 02:02:05.359 working over time to do that, and we should be 2109 02:02:05.600 --> 02:02:10.840 aligned with with Russia, frankly, instead of being fighting them, 2110 02:02:10.880 --> 02:02:15.399 because China is It's ten times the power that Russia is. 2111 02:02:15.439 --> 02:02:20.039 Whether there'sure economically or other than nuclear weapons, in every 2112 02:02:20.079 --> 02:02:23.079 other category, China is a bigger threat than Russia. 2113 02:02:23.159 --> 02:02:26.039 And like us, their fingertips are all over the globe 2114 02:02:26.079 --> 02:02:28.079 and growing more and more every day. Take a look 2115 02:02:28.119 --> 02:02:30.960 at Africa and China's involvement there where there are a 2116 02:02:30.960 --> 02:02:33.640 whole bunch of natural resources that they're after. We'll bring 2117 02:02:33.680 --> 02:02:36.079 back congressom Assi brief for it here for my friend 2118 02:02:36.119 --> 02:02:38.039 John Roman to cover. Since the in his entire team, 2119 02:02:38.039 --> 02:02:40.760 who can help you get better medical insurance.

They cleared 2155 02:04:23.520 --> 02:04:25.640 the wreck on the ramp for west two seventy five, 2156 02:04:25.760 --> 02:04:30.560 still working east to seventy five's ramp to northbound seventy five. 2157 02:04:30.880 --> 02:04:33.760 Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs, the talk station. 2158 02:04:35.119 --> 02:04:37.640 Hey twenty one, filth car Ce the talk station. Brian 2159 02:04:37.680 --> 02:04:41.800 Thomas with one of the few good ones. We've got 2160 02:04:41.880 --> 02:04:45.520 an elected capacity Congressman Thomas Massey, and God bless the 2161 02:04:45.560 --> 02:04:48.640 folks in the Commonwealth of Kentucky for bringing me back. 2162 02:04:48.760 --> 02:04:50.880 He's a good man. He knows what he's talking about. 2163 02:04:51.560 --> 02:04:54.079 Back when we had COVID and we're all being lied to, 2164 02:04:54.520 --> 02:04:58.039 we effectively had martial law declared, even without declaring it. 2165 02:04:58.119 --> 02:05:00.119 I know we have the free exercise of religon and 2166 02:05:00.239 --> 02:05:02.319 guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution the United 2167 02:05:02.319 --> 02:05:04.880 States of America, along with the right to assembly, freedom 2168 02:05:04.880 --> 02:05:08.319 of assembly, and yet those were taken away by government officials. 2169 02:05:08.560 --> 02:05:10.560 And at the time they did it, I was screaming 2170 02:05:10.640 --> 02:05:13.279 in the radio. What you can't tell people they're not 2171 02:05:13.319 --> 02:05:15.079 allowed to be running around on the streets. 2172 02:05:15.119 --> 02:05:15.479 You can't me. 2173 02:05:16.520 --> 02:05:21.279 But yet we had that, and apparently Chad Cronister, who 2174 02:05:21.359 --> 02:05:24.199 was selected by President ele like Donald Trump to serve 2175 02:05:24.239 --> 02:05:29.119 as the Drug Enforcement Administration administrator did just that. He 2176 02:05:29.239 --> 02:05:33.800 participated in this ridiculous Oh yeah. 2177 02:05:32.880 --> 02:05:36.760 He ordered the arrest of a pastor. And as you know, 2178 02:05:36.920 --> 02:05:40.000 the chief law enforcement officer for a county, the sheriff. 2179 02:05:40.319 --> 02:05:42.840 The sheriff, by the way, is your last line of 2180 02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:46.359 defense when somebody's trying to violate the constitution, and if 2181 02:05:46.399 --> 02:05:48.720 the sheriff will stand up for you, you can stop all 2182 02:05:48.760 --> 02:05:51.199 sorts of bad things, even coming from the federal level. 2183 02:05:51.199 --> 02:05:54.680 But instead of standing up and protecting constitution, he went 2184 02:05:54.840 --> 02:05:58.279 right along with the lockdowns, ordered the arrest of a pastor. 2185 02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:01.720 You know, we had this nonsense in Kentucky. Our own 2186 02:06:01.800 --> 02:06:05.399 governor Andy Basher sent the state troopers out to write 2187 02:06:05.439 --> 02:06:08.439 down license plates and send them into local health authorities 2188 02:06:08.479 --> 02:06:11.279 and put notices on windows and try to intimidate people 2189 02:06:11.319 --> 02:06:14.359 into not going to church. But this sheriff in Florida 2190 02:06:14.399 --> 02:06:17.560 did the same thing. Unfortunately, I don't think they vetted 2191 02:06:17.640 --> 02:06:22.239 him fully. And to Trump's credit, maybe the sheriff. The 2192 02:06:22.279 --> 02:06:25.239 sheriff issued a press release saying I'm withdrawing my name, 2193 02:06:25.680 --> 02:06:28.079 but Trump came out and said, no, I withdrew you're 2194 02:06:28.319 --> 02:06:32.039 thanking for this. But that's not all that this sheriff did. 2195 02:06:32.079 --> 02:06:34.720 I mean, in twenty twelve, this sheriff gave thousands of 2196 02:06:34.720 --> 02:06:38.479 dollars to Obama. Okay, I presume he's a Republican now 2197 02:06:38.560 --> 02:06:40.520 or Trump wouldn't have picked him. But somebody needs to 2198 02:06:40.600 --> 02:06:43.920 vet that kind of stuff. And also he had a 2199 02:06:44.000 --> 02:06:49.920 de facto, de facto COVID vaccine mandate in his office 2200 02:06:50.239 --> 02:06:52.279 because he said, if you get sick, if you're one 2201 02:06:52.319 --> 02:06:54.840 of my deputies and you get sick and you need 2202 02:06:54.880 --> 02:06:57.760 time off, we're not paying for it if you haven't 2203 02:06:57.760 --> 02:07:00.159 had the vaccine, but if you've taken the vaccine, and 2204 02:07:00.199 --> 02:07:03.520 we'll pay for it. So he was all around bad guy. 2205 02:07:03.720 --> 02:07:06.279 I went out on social media. I asked my staff 2206 02:07:06.840 --> 02:07:09.279 because I get fact checked. I mean I get fact 2207 02:07:09.359 --> 02:07:12.279 checked every day. People would just love to catch me 2208 02:07:12.359 --> 02:07:15.880 being wrong. Unfortunately it doesn't happen because I checked my 2209 02:07:15.960 --> 02:07:19.079 facts before I go out. We researched all this stuff 2210 02:07:19.119 --> 02:07:22.319 on this guy, and within hours of him being named 2211 02:07:22.359 --> 02:07:25.760 for this position, I went on a speaking of Syria, 2212 02:07:25.840 --> 02:07:29.680 I went on a jihad to expose this guy. We 2213 02:07:29.760 --> 02:07:33.840 cannot let him be in the DEA. The drug enforcement agency. 2214 02:07:34.239 --> 02:07:38.159 He can't be running that he's a bad law enforcement officer. 2215 02:07:38.279 --> 02:07:42.039 So went out on social media, got three million views 2216 02:07:42.159 --> 02:07:44.760 on the tweet where I said he should be disqualified 2217 02:07:44.800 --> 02:07:48.359 for the things that he's done. And again, to his credit, 2218 02:07:48.640 --> 02:07:51.800 Trump's said, after the public outcry, this is one instance 2219 02:07:51.800 --> 02:07:55.319 where the people spoke and it mattered. You didn't have 2220 02:07:55.399 --> 02:07:57.960 to go to the ballot box. People said no, we 2221 02:07:57.960 --> 02:08:02.520 don't want this guy and all the wrongs. Yeah, and 2222 02:08:02.560 --> 02:08:05.000 Trump said, yep, you're right, We're taking the name off 2223 02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:06.960 the list. So hats off to the people. 2224 02:08:07.159 --> 02:08:09.800 All right, Well, two guys that are on a list anyway, 2225 02:08:09.880 --> 02:08:11.640 not going to be getting a government salary, not going 2226 02:08:11.680 --> 02:08:13.600 to be enjoying the benefits of government, but you know, 2227 02:08:14.479 --> 02:08:17.920 benefits of Viva Elon musk and Viva Gramma swimming. They're 2228 02:08:17.920 --> 02:08:19.399 going to be sitting down. I just kind of have 2229 02:08:19.520 --> 02:08:22.880 this vision of them being in some unused government office building, 2230 02:08:23.439 --> 02:08:28.680 pouring through the books and just saying unnecessary, wrong, no misspent, 2231 02:08:29.279 --> 02:08:32.560 and just handing over to Congress to see what they 2232 02:08:32.600 --> 02:08:34.600 do and so we can identify the good guys and 2233 02:08:34.720 --> 02:08:38.720 bad guys, see where they cut. They make great recommendations. 2234 02:08:38.720 --> 02:08:40.720 I assume they're going to and they'll point out the 2235 02:08:40.760 --> 02:08:43.520 flaws and the and the government waste and abuse and 2236 02:08:43.960 --> 02:08:46.479 see and see what elected officials do about it. What's 2237 02:08:46.520 --> 02:08:49.039 your take on this doge thing, Well. 2238 02:08:48.880 --> 02:08:51.680 The Douche Committee, I tell people, it's like the Constitution. 2239 02:08:52.680 --> 02:08:55.439 If you can get my colleagues to follow it, great, 2240 02:08:55.960 --> 02:08:58.880 But if they don't, you're in trouble because the Douche 2241 02:08:58.920 --> 02:09:04.520 Committee needs executive action, and more importantly, it needs Congressional 2242 02:09:04.560 --> 02:09:08.119 action to cut these programs, to de authorize this craziness. 2243 02:09:08.359 --> 02:09:11.199 Although what I've observed in my twelve years is that 2244 02:09:11.239 --> 02:09:13.720 we don't even have the spine or the wherewithal to 2245 02:09:13.800 --> 02:09:17.319 defund one toner cartridge at the FBI when they do 2246 02:09:17.439 --> 02:09:20.239 something bad and they won't give us answers. Instead of 2247 02:09:20.279 --> 02:09:23.159 saying we're not going to pay for your copier machine 2248 02:09:23.159 --> 02:09:27.079 there in Office ONEAB, we say here's a new building 2249 02:09:27.880 --> 02:09:31.720 to conduct your malfeasance in, and we build them a 2250 02:09:31.720 --> 02:09:35.560 new building. So, and by the way, I tweeted that, 2251 02:09:35.600 --> 02:09:39.359 because Congress takes over on January third and the President 2252 02:09:39.479 --> 02:09:42.359 is sworn in on January twentieth, we have seventeen days 2253 02:09:42.399 --> 02:09:45.399 to pile up a stack of good bills on his desk, 2254 02:09:45.800 --> 02:09:47.520 so that on his first day, I know he's going 2255 02:09:47.560 --> 02:09:49.880 to do a lot of executive actions or more importantly, 2256 02:09:49.960 --> 02:09:54.039 undo a lot of bad executive activity from Biden. He 2257 02:09:54.079 --> 02:09:56.640 should be able to sign legislation mean that we have 2258 02:09:56.720 --> 02:09:59.960 already done. And so I tweeted that and vivek Tech 2259 02:10:00.159 --> 02:10:02.039 to me. We go back, you know, we text back 2260 02:10:02.079 --> 02:10:04.960 and forth, and he said which bills are you talking about? 2261 02:10:05.319 --> 02:10:07.159 And I was like, Wow, I need to think about this, 2262 02:10:07.239 --> 02:10:09.800 don't I before I send a tweet? So I said, 2263 02:10:10.000 --> 02:10:13.119 the Rains Act is the first one that the Doge 2264 02:10:13.199 --> 02:10:16.800 Committee should be after. That would save so much money 2265 02:10:16.880 --> 02:10:19.479 because if and by the way, we've here's the other 2266 02:10:19.520 --> 02:10:22.279 good thing about the Rains Act. Regulations of the executive 2267 02:10:22.279 --> 02:10:24.359 in need of scrutiny? Is it what it is? If 2268 02:10:24.359 --> 02:10:28.600 there's a if there's an administrative rule that's being promulgated 2269 02:10:28.600 --> 02:10:30.520 that costs more than one hundred million dollars to our 2270 02:10:30.520 --> 02:10:34.880 economy or to our government or them combined, then it 2271 02:10:34.960 --> 02:10:37.319 has to come back to Congress for a voes. It's 2272 02:10:37.359 --> 02:10:40.720 not rule making, Yeah, it's lawmaking. At that point, let's 2273 02:10:40.800 --> 02:10:43.720 draw the line in the sand. And that would be 2274 02:10:44.079 --> 02:10:48.359 so great it would stop so many regulations that that 2275 02:10:48.399 --> 02:10:52.479 shouldn't be promulgated because they're basically laws. It would be 2276 02:10:52.520 --> 02:10:55.640 the administrative branch overstepping their authority and costing money to 2277 02:10:55.720 --> 02:10:58.279 the government and to the people. So that's the one 2278 02:10:58.319 --> 02:11:01.119 that I sus proposed to of evight. That's like the 2279 02:11:01.119 --> 02:11:02.960 first one we should do. And the good news about 2280 02:11:03.000 --> 02:11:06.800 the Rains Act is it's already been through committee. It's 2281 02:11:06.880 --> 02:11:09.800 already been marked up in at least two different Congresses 2282 02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:12.239 that I know of, because it's come through actually my 2283 02:11:12.359 --> 02:11:17.439 subcommittee on Regulatory Reform on the Judiciary Committee. So we 2284 02:11:17.439 --> 02:11:20.399 we already had a hearing on this, we marked it up, 2285 02:11:20.600 --> 02:11:22.720 we passed it in the House. So I know on 2286 02:11:22.800 --> 02:11:26.159 January third, we're going to have you know, it's it's ready. 2287 02:11:26.239 --> 02:11:28.000 We're gonna have some new Yeah, we're gonna have some 2288 02:11:28.079 --> 02:11:30.760 new Congressmen. But they can vote on this thing. It's 2289 02:11:30.800 --> 02:11:33.199 been fully vetted, and then let's put that on send 2290 02:11:33.199 --> 02:11:35.319 it to the Senate first of all, and shame them. 2291 02:11:35.640 --> 02:11:36.840 Shame that this is. 2292 02:11:38.079 --> 02:11:40.399 You see, that's what they see the benefits of the dog. 2293 02:11:40.720 --> 02:11:43.920 They can't do anything themselves but correct. They can point 2294 02:11:43.920 --> 02:11:46.279 it out and when they when and when they when 2295 02:11:46.279 --> 02:11:48.840 they do nothing, congress or senators say no, no, no, 2296 02:11:48.880 --> 02:11:51.680 we can't cut that program that's gonna impact my stage 2297 02:11:51.680 --> 02:11:53.920 bottom line. Then we know who the bad guys are 2298 02:11:53.960 --> 02:11:56.319 and we can publicly shame them. And you'll be right 2299 02:11:56.319 --> 02:11:59.399 at the forefront of the public shaming. Congressman Thomas Massey, 2300 02:12:00.399 --> 02:12:02.439 judge of Paulton, is listening in on you right now, 2301 02:12:02.479 --> 02:12:05.119 getting ready to queue him up left to Judge.

The Judge's next Chucking ramon 2330 02:13:29.239 --> 02:13:31.600 fifty five KRST the talk station. 2331 02:13:37.840 --> 02:13:40.840 Does Congressman Massey get introduced that way? 2332 02:13:41.079 --> 02:13:44.439 No, he does not, Judgement Poltia, pardon the voice here 2333 02:13:44.479 --> 02:13:47.000 in the Little Froggy to day. Now you are the 2334 02:13:47.039 --> 02:13:51.039 only person who gets specialized treatment from Ingram. He's on 2335 02:13:51.199 --> 02:13:55.600 every segment doing the traffic he's on other stations around 2336 02:13:55.600 --> 02:13:59.279 the country. You're it, my friend, and it's it's well. 2337 02:13:59.159 --> 02:14:03.319 Deserved in Cincinnati, about which we've been speaking for years, 2338 02:14:03.479 --> 02:14:06.279 but you and I once did about ten years ago. Yeah, 2339 02:14:06.479 --> 02:14:09.039 I have to hug and kiss Ingram in front of 2340 02:14:09.119 --> 02:14:09.520 the crowd. 2341 02:14:09.840 --> 02:14:12.119 You will get a to in someday. You're honor, I'm 2342 02:14:12.159 --> 02:14:14.399 certain of it. I was glad you're able to listen 2343 02:14:14.439 --> 02:14:18.039 in to Congressman Thomas Massey too, because obviously we all play 2344 02:14:18.079 --> 02:14:18.760 well together. 2345 02:14:19.800 --> 02:14:22.159 Yeah. 2346 02:14:22.199 --> 02:14:24.520 Anyway, pivoting over. 2347 02:14:24.359 --> 02:14:29.239 Maybe Joe can Joe Strecker can set up that three 2348 02:14:29.279 --> 02:14:31.960 way between you and Thomas Massey and I. And of 2349 02:14:31.960 --> 02:14:34.239 course I agree with everything he said. But the sacred 2350 02:14:34.279 --> 02:14:38.439 cow there and he knows this and he agrees, is 2351 02:14:38.520 --> 02:14:43.399 the Defense Department. Donald Trump actually wants to increase the 2352 02:14:43.439 --> 02:14:47.840 budget to over nine hundred billion. This, of course, is 2353 02:14:48.000 --> 02:14:52.239 more than the next ten countries combined, including Russia, which 2354 02:14:52.279 --> 02:14:55.319 has a bigger army and China, which has a bigger navy. 2355 02:14:55.680 --> 02:14:59.640 Yes, and in spite of the fact that after eight 2356 02:15:00.680 --> 02:15:05.000 attempts to audit defense spending, they've been coming up belly up. 2357 02:15:05.079 --> 02:15:09.399 They can't do it. They have no blanking idea where 2358 02:15:09.439 --> 02:15:13.119 the money's going, and that disgusts me to no end. 2359 02:15:14.279 --> 02:15:19.399 Right, Thomas A. Congressman Massey knows all of this. He 2360 02:15:19.560 --> 02:15:23.199 is a voice crying in the wilderness often when it 2361 02:15:23.239 --> 02:15:26.880 comes to it. But I am delighted he's still Congressman 2362 02:15:27.000 --> 02:15:31.520 Massy and did not fall for any seduction of joining 2363 02:15:31.600 --> 02:15:36.560 the Trump administration because he's far more valuable to the 2364 02:15:36.600 --> 02:15:39.920 first principles that we believe in and to the Constitution 2365 02:15:40.800 --> 02:15:43.680 on the floor of the House than in the Department 2366 02:15:43.720 --> 02:15:46.239 of Agriculture or whatever they were considering him for. 2367 02:15:46.479 --> 02:15:49.560 Yeah. I mean, when Thomason Massy speaks, people listen, and 2368 02:15:49.640 --> 02:15:51.680 I think it largely springs from the fact that he 2369 02:15:51.840 --> 02:15:54.960 is such a thorn in the side of those who 2370 02:15:55.000 --> 02:15:59.000 want to and regularly play fast and loose with the Constitution. 2371 02:15:59.760 --> 02:16:02.079 He's got a target on his back, so when he speaks, 2372 02:16:02.159 --> 02:16:04.640 like he said, he fact checks everything he does before 2373 02:16:04.680 --> 02:16:08.039 he puts it out there. And guess what, people apparently 2374 02:16:08.079 --> 02:16:13.199 pay attention. He prevented the Dea guy from getting appointed 2375 02:16:13.279 --> 02:16:16.800 just by pointing out that the sheriff locked up up 2376 02:16:16.880 --> 02:16:20.880 Minister for Conducting Services during COVID nineteen. That is not 2377 02:16:21.039 --> 02:16:23.239 someone who understands the First Amendment and the right to 2378 02:16:23.319 --> 02:16:23.960 free assembly. 2379 02:16:24.000 --> 02:16:25.279 And back to. 2380 02:16:28.079 --> 02:16:31.800 Ingram's comment about Rand Paul, which is equally as flattering 2381 02:16:31.840 --> 02:16:34.120 to me. He does the same thing in the Senate. 2382 02:16:34.399 --> 02:16:37.920 He'll stand up, read a portion of the Constitution and 2383 02:16:37.959 --> 02:16:40.879 then read legislation that's on the floor of the Senate 2384 02:16:40.879 --> 02:16:45.440 which directly contradicts the portion of the Constitution. And these characters, 2385 02:16:45.559 --> 02:16:49.559 big government characters in both parties, they can't answer. They're dumbfounded. 2386 02:16:49.959 --> 02:16:54.399 Well, and that stumbles right into probably intentionally your column today, 2387 02:16:54.440 --> 02:16:57.319 will Donald Trump stop domestic spying? Which I think the 2388 02:16:58.040 --> 02:17:00.040 answer is going to be no, for the reasons you 2389 02:17:00.159 --> 02:17:02.120 articulate so well in your column today. 2390 02:17:03.000 --> 02:17:10.159 You know, it's very unsettling because he was the victim 2391 02:17:10.280 --> 02:17:14.840 of domestic spying back in twenty fifteen and sixteen before 2392 02:17:14.879 --> 02:17:19.079 he was president, and we now know during his first 2393 02:17:19.559 --> 02:17:22.559 term in the presidency, you would think that he would 2394 02:17:22.600 --> 02:17:24.280 put a stop to it. He can put a stop 2395 02:17:24.319 --> 02:17:26.280 to it with the stroke of a pen. He can 2396 02:17:26.319 --> 02:17:31.120 resind Ronald Reagan's Executive Order twelve Triple three, which I 2397 02:17:31.159 --> 02:17:34.000 don't mention in the column, which has language in it 2398 02:17:34.040 --> 02:17:37.879 that's so vague it enables the intelligence community to spy 2399 02:17:38.120 --> 02:17:42.639 on everyone. He can dial back the NSA. He can 2400 02:17:42.680 --> 02:17:46.319 prohibit the CIA from doing anything other than administrative work 2401 02:17:47.200 --> 02:17:50.399 in the United States. He can tell Cash Ptel, his 2402 02:17:50.479 --> 02:17:55.000 new director of the FBI, we're the business of solving crime, 2403 02:17:55.120 --> 02:17:59.719 not predicting crime. No computer hacking, no surveillance other than 2404 02:17:59.719 --> 02:18:02.719 that which is authorized by an Article three judge pursuing 2405 02:18:02.799 --> 02:18:05.559 to the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. He can do 2406 02:18:05.680 --> 02:18:10.079 all that, but he won't. He won't because the intelligence 2407 02:18:10.120 --> 02:18:14.959 community has its pause on him and on members of Congress, 2408 02:18:15.000 --> 02:18:18.319 not on Commis Massey and Rand Paul, but on the 2409 02:18:18.479 --> 02:18:23.840 vast majority of those in both houses and both parties 2410 02:18:24.239 --> 02:18:28.280 who are terrified of what the intelligence community has on 2411 02:18:28.479 --> 02:18:32.000 them and might reveal. That includes the Speaker of the House, 2412 02:18:32.000 --> 02:18:36.159 who voted against all this surveillance when he was Congressman. 2413 02:18:36.239 --> 02:18:39.680 Johnson then had a two hour secret meeting with leaders 2414 02:18:39.680 --> 02:18:42.879 of the intelligence community. Then came out of his office 2415 02:18:42.920 --> 02:18:46.280 and said, I'm going to break the tie and vote 2416 02:18:46.760 --> 02:18:51.239 in favor of authorizing the NSSA to spy on Americans and. 2417 02:18:51.959 --> 02:18:55.799 All an absolute, outright violence violation of the Constitution. I 2418 02:18:55.879 --> 02:18:58.879 talk with a Congressman who I'm going to let remain unnamed, 2419 02:18:59.520 --> 02:19:02.319 a personal friend of mine, but have a profound disagreement 2420 02:19:02.479 --> 02:19:03.200 on this point. 2421 02:19:04.040 --> 02:19:05.319 It was innocence. 2422 02:19:05.959 --> 02:19:10.520 No, we need this, Brian, because if you knew what 2423 02:19:10.799 --> 02:19:12.959 I knew, Like for example, if you had a security 2424 02:19:13.000 --> 02:19:14.760 clearance as high as mine and you sat in the 2425 02:19:14.799 --> 02:19:17.079 back room and heard all this stuff, if you knew 2426 02:19:17.120 --> 02:19:21.399 what I knew, you would support these unconstitutional actions. And 2427 02:19:21.559 --> 02:19:22.719 I'm sorry, I can't abide. 2428 02:19:23.799 --> 02:19:28.000 Now, what is the sense of the constitution, What is 2429 02:19:28.040 --> 02:19:30.600 the meaning of it? What is the value of it? 2430 02:19:30.680 --> 02:19:35.879 If these guys in secret, based on secret knowledge, can 2431 02:19:36.719 --> 02:19:39.719 abrogate it? I mean, who knows more the people or 2432 02:19:39.760 --> 02:19:41.760 the government? The government knows more about us than we 2433 02:19:41.840 --> 02:19:43.760 know about the government. Do we work for the government 2434 02:19:43.840 --> 02:19:46.239 or does the government work for us? This guy, whoever' gal, 2435 02:19:46.319 --> 02:19:50.840 whoever the person is, totally has priorities inverted. 2436 02:19:51.559 --> 02:19:54.440 Well that was my reaction, because of course, if you 2437 02:19:54.479 --> 02:19:57.360 speak with Congress m Assey or someone like you who 2438 02:19:57.360 --> 02:20:02.520 appreciates and understands the supreme law of the land, then 2439 02:20:02.559 --> 02:20:06.440 you cannot justify its violation. You know, if there's a 2440 02:20:06.520 --> 02:20:08.920 dangerous activity going on there that sounds something like it 2441 02:20:09.000 --> 02:20:11.239 rises to the level of criminal activity. If it does, 2442 02:20:11.360 --> 02:20:13.479 then you can justify by getting a war in front 2443 02:20:13.479 --> 02:20:15.440 of a judge and then go spy you. 2444 02:20:15.360 --> 02:20:18.680 Know, of course, of course. I mean basically what they're 2445 02:20:18.760 --> 02:20:23.399 doing is computer hacking. You want to jump to Syria. 2446 02:20:24.319 --> 02:20:28.239 We gave aid and comfort to a terrorist organization, the 2447 02:20:28.319 --> 02:20:31.920 leader of which we have put a ten million dollar 2448 02:20:32.120 --> 02:20:36.879 bounty on his head, and we trained his forces. If 2449 02:20:36.920 --> 02:20:39.959 that's not giving aid and terror aid and comfort to 2450 02:20:40.000 --> 02:20:42.840 our terror organization, I don't know what is. And when 2451 02:20:42.879 --> 02:20:46.799 the FBI jumps into this, I'm holding up my mobile device. 2452 02:20:47.399 --> 02:20:50.399 If that isn't computer hacking, I don't know what is. 2453 02:20:50.959 --> 02:20:52.959 So does the government work for us or do we 2454 02:20:53.000 --> 02:20:55.040 work for the government. Do the laws only apply to 2455 02:20:55.040 --> 02:20:57.200 the people, or do they apply to the government as well? 2456 02:20:57.760 --> 02:21:00.000 Well, we all know the answer to those rhetorical questions, 2457 02:21:00.319 --> 02:21:05.239 and sadly they're not positive answers, And we continue to 2458 02:21:05.280 --> 02:21:05.760 move on. 2459 02:21:06.040 --> 02:21:08.879 And uh, I think Trump is awake, and maybe he's listening. 2460 02:21:08.879 --> 02:21:10.920 I don't know, maybe he is. Well, just send him 2461 02:21:10.920 --> 02:21:13.879 a copy of this conversation. I'll referm the podcast link 2462 02:21:13.920 --> 02:21:16.280 and he can listen for himself and decide for himself 2463 02:21:16.600 --> 02:21:18.440 whether it's time to finally put an end to all 2464 02:21:18.440 --> 02:21:21.079 of these ridiculous violations. 2465 02:21:20.440 --> 02:21:21.959 Of our rights. 2466 02:21:22.760 --> 02:21:25.399 Judge Enna Polaitano, I'm glad we've got you, and I'm 2467 02:21:25.399 --> 02:21:29.079 glad we've got Congress from Massey to continually remind people 2468 02:21:29.639 --> 02:21:32.000 of the shenanigans that are going on in government and 2469 02:21:32.079 --> 02:21:36.159 also the strange reality. And I really find it so disturbing. 2470 02:21:36.200 --> 02:21:38.120 And we've talked about it before. You brought it up 2471 02:21:38.120 --> 02:21:40.840 in your column and we talked about it today. The 2472 02:21:40.959 --> 02:21:45.799 idea that our elected officials are afraid to take these 2473 02:21:45.920 --> 02:21:48.879 powers away for fear that we will find out what 2474 02:21:49.040 --> 02:21:53.440 these behind the scenes spies know about them. That is 2475 02:21:53.479 --> 02:21:58.399 a frightening, frightening reality. It's blackmail, it's black justice. 2476 02:21:58.959 --> 02:22:02.520 Justice Scalia. To me, the members of the court knew 2477 02:22:02.559 --> 02:22:06.399 that they were being spied upon. Now if they can supy, 2478 02:22:06.520 --> 02:22:09.079 if they can spy in the Supreme Court, they can 2479 02:22:09.120 --> 02:22:12.319 spy in anybody. I asked my intelligence community people, does 2480 02:22:12.360 --> 02:22:15.879 the CIA spy on the White House? Answer? 2481 02:22:16.719 --> 02:22:21.440 Yes, frightening Glad we get to talk about it. Judging 2482 02:22:21.600 --> 02:22:24.040 Freedom the podcast Judging of Paulton the hosts and you 2483 02:22:24.079 --> 02:22:26.680 need to check it out online where we get your podcasts, Judge, 2484 02:22:26.680 --> 02:22:28.520 as we always in the conversation, who are you gonna 2485 02:22:28.520 --> 02:22:30.000 be talking with today?
