WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:13.279 Five o five Happy you k r s the talk 2 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:29.039 station every Friday Eve a vacation. 3 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.159 Yep, I wish we could just play that whole song. 4 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:43.000 Oh look, futures are off, Happy Happy Friday, Eve Thursday, 5 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.000 call it what you want. Almost at the end of 6 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.000 the week and you gotta be on vacation next week, 7 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.119 looking forward to exhaling and sleeping in a mental health week. 8 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:53.439 That's it. 9 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.719 That's what it's all about anyhow, what's all about here 10 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.759 in the fifty five Morning Show. Get to see Sean 11 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.479 mc mannon there covering for Joe's tracker. The things will 12 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.039 be well in hand. Did have a couple of technical 13 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.439 difficulties yesterday, but no big deal. Got them all ironed out, 14 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.680 and I think we're gonna get the return of Daniel Davis. 15 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.879 We didn't get hear from Daniel Davis on Tuesday because 16 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.920 of the technical difficulty and Shaun's nod and has had 17 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.920 an approval. Yes tomorrow we'll have him on. I believe 18 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.000 what was it seven thirty is what you got seven thirty, 19 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.359 So we'll still get that update on what's going on 20 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.680 in Ukraine and Russia, which is kind of fallen off 21 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.959 the map at least in terms of reporting on it. 22 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.879 You know, it was dominating the news and back and forth. 23 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.439 It's amazing how the news cycle changes. I know that 24 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.760 ward in the conflict is still going on, just don't 25 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.239 really have quite a handle on where it is. I 26 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.400 think the latest news I read as Russia was making 27 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.760 further inroads into Ukrainian territory, which I think that's what 28 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.799 Daniel Davis has been pointing out for the last several months, 29 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.079 not full year anyway. 30 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:50.359 What's coming up today? 31 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.519 George Redman and studio restored Lardy dot Us events on Sunday, 32 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.200 talked a little bit about yesterday with Americans for Prosperities 33 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.640 Donovan O'Neil. On that one, we'll hear more from George, 34 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.959 who's going to be in studio, and we'll also hear 35 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.680 in the seven o'clock hour from Congressman Warren Davidson. It'll 36 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.520 be good timing for that one. House passed a bill 37 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.159 yesterday to limit nationwide injunctions by district court judges. Future 38 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.199 uncertain in the Senate, I will assure you on that one. 39 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.159 Speaker Johnson also delayed the vote on the Senate budget resolution. 40 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.039 A lot of conservative Republicans holding out for promises of 41 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.159 greater cuts to government spending, which if you're going to 42 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.520 hold out for something, I think that's a worthy holdout. 43 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.879 And the Senate has a paltry four billion over ten years, 44 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.479 which is they spill more than that on a daily 45 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.680 basis in the federal government. But anyway, we'll hear from 46 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.639 Congressman Davidson on a variety of topics. Of course, we 47 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.960 have no shortage of topics to talk about. Brian Resider 48 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.919 with the book Landridge, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and 49 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.560 the Untold History of the Disappearing American Farmer. Brian's going 50 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.319 to join the program in eight of five talk about 51 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.520 that book. And of course I have a lot of 52 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.879 farmers in my lineage, including the fact that I married 53 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.159 out of my element OutKick my coverage with my wife, 54 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.800 daughter of a dairy farmer. And while I have never 55 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.159 you know, you can't fully appreciate the life of a 56 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.159 small farmer, especially a dairy farmer, until you see what 57 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:24.560 it requires. And oh my word, it is the toughest job. 58 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.240 They're all, I mean, they're proud of what they do, 59 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.159 the work that they put in on the farm. And 60 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:31.520 you know, again, dairy farmers you got to milk those 61 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.000 cows twice a day, or they don't produce and you 62 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.960 don't get any income. You can't leave, or you have 63 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.759 to have other people there to take over the job 64 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.919 of milk and cows every day. It's just amazing how 65 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.039 much work's involved in that. And it's not exactly a 66 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.360 fat bank job either. My wife did not grow up 67 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.599 in the lap of luxury at all, but she understands 68 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.039 the value of hard work. And I always like to 69 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.159 point out it's an interesting thing. You know, they never 70 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.400 really had much. Her dad built their house with his 71 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.360 own two hands. You might think, oh, it's probably a 72 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.400 ramshackle house. No, you know, not large ranch shaw house. 73 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.439 But I was always amazed at the brick work. The 74 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:16.040 man was not Amazon. But you you could take a 75 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.199 ruler with millimeters on it and go around the entire 76 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.480 house and measure the width of the mortar between the 77 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.160 bricks that he laid himself, and you couldn't. It wouldn't 78 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:32.800 be a millimeter off. Everything was absolutely perfectly laid. And again, 79 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.319 he wasn't amazing. He wasn't a trained brick layer. I 80 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.040 don't know how he figured it out, but he did. 81 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.160 That's the kind of thing you had to do. She 82 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.439 grew up in a small, small house, three total bedrooms, 83 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.360 her her twin brother, and her two sisters. You spend 84 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.120 most of your time outside. There wasn't a whole lot 85 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.680 of room to roam around inside the house, canning your 86 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.800 own food and the interesting story, you know, when you 87 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.160 get it used to a lot of amenities. And then 88 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.759 the nineteen seventies, stagflation comes in and people are struggling, 89 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.639 and people are without jobs, and people are you know, 90 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.600 complaining over the prime I remember people complaining of the 91 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.639 price of coffee. A gasoline with shortage. You had lines 92 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.040 around the corner rationing of gasoline and things like that. 93 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.000 You know, you had your if your license play ended 94 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.800 in an odd number or an even number, you were 95 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.959 allowed to fill up or you weren't, in order to 96 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.120 keep the lines of traffic down. For gas stations, I 97 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.360 actually had gas. They didn't know any that was going on, really, 98 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.079 I mean, maybe aware of it because of the news, 99 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.959 but their life didn't change. They went on with their 100 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.360 lives day to day. Nothing changed, you know, they didn't 101 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.920 struggle or suffer more because of what was going on 102 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.480 in the world. But then again, you know, when things 103 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.519 bounce back, their lives didn't bounce back any greater than 104 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.480 it was. It was a sort of a static line. 105 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.360 And it's kind of an interesting and you know, I 106 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:56.480 think fascinating, a neat concept. But when you're pretty much 107 00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.800 self sufficient, that's the way it is. You up happy. 108 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.519 I don't know. Anyway, we'll talk about the American farmer 109 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.160 eight to five started golf on that tangent. Jay Ratle, 110 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.680 fireheart media aviation expert. I always looked forward to Thursdays at 111 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.240 ay thirty. Today, unruly passenger causes a sixteen hour delay, 112 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.480 calls for a boycott after airline is selected for ice 113 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.720 deportation flights naturally and an emotional support animal mix up 114 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.120 strand as a passenger and her emotional support support animal 115 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:35.639 in Puerto Rico. Good stories of Jay. So what happened yesterday? Wow? 116 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.560 The stock market bounce back. 117 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.160 Donald Trump announced that he was pausing the reciprocal tariffs 118 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.480 and went into effect for ninety days, and of course 119 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.160 raised the rates on China, who seems to be the 120 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.399 only country out there that's not willing to play ball. 121 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.480 Trump said he'd authorized a ninety eight pause and substantially 122 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.040 low reciprocal tariffs during this period of down to ten 123 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:03.040 percent across the board, which was prepared anyway effective immediately 124 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.639 decision and the pause and the full impact of the tariffs. 125 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.560 Because more than seventy five countries have already reached out 126 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.920 to the White House to negotiate a solution on the 127 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:18.360 new duties, he said, those countries also have not retaliated 128 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.879 in any way, shape or form against the US, which 129 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.240 was what he said up front. Here, I'm gonna here's 130 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.800 all these tariffs are gonna throw on you. Seventy five 131 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.360 percent for you, thirty five percent for you, depends on 132 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.399 what their tariffs were on US goods. Of course they 133 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.480 weren't as high as some of the countries had on 134 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.399 our goods. But he said, hey, you want to negotiate, 135 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.040 come on, let's negotiate. You don't want to negotiate, We're 136 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:40.920 gonna leave it that way, or maybe even get worse, 137 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.519 which is exactly what happened with Beijing. China now facing 138 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.800 one hundred and twenty five percent tariff that hours after 139 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.759 Beijing said it would be imposing higher tariffs on US products. 140 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.399 I think they bumped theirs up eighty five percent, so 141 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.160 not wanting to play ball, you get worse tariffs, or 142 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.759 it's going to remain the status quo. You want to 143 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.759 play ball, you get a tariff pause. Now, all this 144 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.040 argument in this discussion exists outside of the realm whether 145 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.160 any of this is within the executive branches authority. And 146 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.480 of course we had these conversations yesterday, of course with 147 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:17.639 Judge Ednita, Poloitano and others have also observed, like Congressman Massey, 148 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:22.439 that you know, this may be extra constitutional, but ignoring 149 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.800 the legal realities of what's going on, it's literally going 150 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:32.080 on before our very eyes. And what happened. The stock 151 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:36.879 market blew up in a good way. Everybody's screaming and moaning, yelling, 152 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.799 oh my god, we're all gonna die. We're gonna go 153 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.320 into a recession. And I don't know what's gonna happen today, 154 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.919 But futures are up. If I'm looking at this correctly, 155 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.559 and I'm staring at the top scroll of the Wall 156 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:53.360 Street Journal, which has futures, they're all up for this 157 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:58.840 morning after yesterday, huge jump after Trump's announcement on this 158 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.879 pause yesterday, Jones Industrial Average jump more than two thousand 159 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.320 points five point seven percent, and I think if I'm 160 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.120 looking at this morning's futures, it looks like seven point 161 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:19.399 eighty seven percent up this morning NASDAK eight point seven 162 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:23.600 percent bump, and right now I'm staring at twelve point 163 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:29.320 one point six on the future scroll up. S and 164 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.879 P five hundred probably the best indicator of the you know, 165 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.159 at least business health as opposed to the S and 166 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.519 P or as opposed to the Dow Industrial Average. We 167 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.440 hear that about that from Brian James all the time 168 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.720 as well as others. S and P up six point 169 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.919 eight percent yesterday, at least as of the reporting on 170 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.039 the article I'm looking at. But across the board, the 171 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.159 markets went through the roof, erasing all of the losses 172 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.679 that people struggled with over the last several days after 173 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:03.799 the TERFF announcements. So negotiations in play. Maybe we'll come 174 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.879 up with some free trade that would be good for 175 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:12.960 the global economy, I would argue, And look Canada, Canadian 176 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.679 Prime Minister Mark Karney pledged yesterday to negotiate new economic 177 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.720 and security relationship with the United States. This after he 178 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.360 announced the pause, the pause and reciprocal terrence and now 179 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.879 by President Trump. He said, is a welcome reprieve for 180 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:30.279 the global economy. As President Trump and I have agreed 181 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.919 the US president and a Canadian Prime minister will commence 182 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.720 negotiations on a new economic policy and security relationship immediately 183 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.360 following the federal election. That is what Canadian Prime Minister 184 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.080 Carney said. He goes, you know, after the federal following 185 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.919 the federal election in which he is projicted projected now 186 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.639 to win again, So. 187 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:52.720 Carni wrote. 188 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.399 As part of today's announcement, the President has a signaled 189 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.559 that the US will engage in bilateral negotiations with a 190 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.200 number of other countries. This will likely result in a 191 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.159 fundamental restructuring of the global trading system. In that context, 192 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.159 Canada must also continue to deepen its relationship with trading 193 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.679 partners that share our values, including the free and open 194 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.159 exchange of good services and ideas. And that's exactly what 195 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:25.320 Trump was hoping to accomplish. Imagine that bold in a 196 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:30.440 China Chop attitude. Yeah, maybe bold. Could any other president 197 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.879 have tried to accomplish this? 198 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.080 Yes? Did any of them try to accomplish this? 199 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:34.320 No? 200 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.080 And the trade imbalances continue to grow and grow and grow, 201 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.120 and I'm not quite sure what's going to happen with China? 202 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:49.039 You know, they do rely on us heavily. Hundreds of 203 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:56.399 billions of dollars we buy in Chinese made products, and 204 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.639 this is going to have a profound impact on that. Yes, 205 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.639 as we all know, you're to is going to be 206 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.639 more expensive. I don't know if they make toasters in 207 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.679 other countries, countries with whom we may negotiate a better 208 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.399 trade relationship. Could be that that toaster may be manufactured 209 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.919 in oh, I don't know, India or some other country. 210 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.039 We're not making them, that's for sure, but it may 211 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.120 be that we can get those items and goods from 212 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.919 some other countries that we have established a better trade 213 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.879 relationship with. I know that would create a trade imbalance 214 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.080 with those countries because we'd be buying all this stuff 215 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.080 rather than from China from them. But at least of 216 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.440 the countries that come immediately to mind, that might have 217 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:36.600 a less expensive manufacturing position because for all the reasons 218 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:41.440 China does you know, no osha, no EPA, no regulations, 219 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.440 cheap labor. At least they don't want to destroy us, 220 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:49.159 which of course the Chinese Communist Party has hell bent 221 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.960 on doing. Five eighteen fifty five Cacity Talk station five 222 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.279 on three seven four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred 223 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:55.879 and eighty two to three Talk Crabbage. 224 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:57.720 Mike's calling in. We're going to get an update on 225 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.440 last night's UH celebration, the return of the Honor Flight. 226 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.399 Looking forward to that hang around, be right back. This 227 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.639 is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station. 228 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:09.759 You're in the futures. I just did an update on 229 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.240 it from a different site. The Wall Street Journal had 230 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.039 an updated their futures. So it looks like futures SMP 231 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.000 down about one point four percent, NASTAC one point eight 232 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.279 and now one point seven in early trading. 233 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.000 So there you go. Let me go back over to 234 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.080 the phones. Cribbage. Mike, my submariner friend. You were there 235 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.559 Honor Flight tri State yesterday, first one of the season. 236 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:31.279 How did it go? 237 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.279 Man, Brian? 238 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.360 From start to finish, Just another phenomenal day from the 239 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.440 send off, the whole day in DC and then to 240 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.159 come home, which is another tremendous support from the community 241 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.639 and their family members. You know, just when you think 242 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.759 it can't get any better, and just what a great 243 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.639 outpouring of love and patriotism for those eighteen hours, for 244 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:53.519 those Korean and Vietnam. 245 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:55.279 War veterans eighteen hour day. 246 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.840 For some of those guys are are getting up in 247 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.279 years too, and that's it's great that they're we're able 248 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.840 to climb that hill and just keep going and going 249 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.120 and going. But the adrenaline flows on those days. You 250 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.919 said you couldn't get any better, and it apparently did. 251 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.399 You've been there for a lot of these welcome home 252 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.159 ceremonies as well as on honor flights. Was there a 253 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.080 bigger turnout this year? Do you think this time? 254 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.759 You think they just. 255 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.759 Continue to grow because I call them my Honor flight 256 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.360 alumni because you see a lot of people now in 257 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.840 the outskirts of the parade route wearing those gold shirts 258 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.279 and a couple of times, I remember last October flight 259 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.639 I had them, I says someone on the flight. He says, oh, no, 260 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.840 I just had to be here again to experience this. 261 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.519 You know, they estimate between like twelve and fifteen hundred. 262 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.279 In fact, there's a beautiful over hang like a balcony 263 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.720 that's filling up more because really during the whole Horseshoe 264 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.720 parade route, they're about five or sixty and just a 265 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.759 thunderous applause because we start to parade all the way 266 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.600 in the entrance to the ticketing area and of course 267 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:57.960 throw all the way down the other end. I mean, 268 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.240 they can hear the bagpipes and it's just you know, 269 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.480 I know what's coming, you know, And like you say that, 270 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.559 they're glad to be home. So there's a little bit 271 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.480 of rejuvenation when they get off that plane, but as 272 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.360 soon as they really realize what's waiting for them, just 273 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.799 like you said, allergy moment. But oh yeah, spring flights 274 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.200 are so special in DC because you get a lot 275 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.840 of eighth grade and high school trips to our nation's capital, 276 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.759 right and on three different on three different occasions, there 277 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.600 was a eighth grade from Columbus that went out of 278 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.320 their way to shake their hands when we were at 279 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.720 the World War Two Memorial. When we were at the 280 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:34.600 Marine Memorial, the Regima, you know iconic flag raising statue, 281 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.120 there was a group a high school cliffs from Los 282 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.600 Angeles and the one father said that as we were 283 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.000 breaking up from our picture, he said, could a couple 284 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.000 of the vet's stand with our students? He said, because 285 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.399 my father fought in Vietnam and I want to be 286 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.080 able to tell them what these men did. 287 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.799 Oh that's outstanding, just awesome. Yeah, that was one of 288 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.360 those allergy inspiring moments when I was lucky enough to 289 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.240 be in an honor flight. It was also at the 290 00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.799 World War Two Memorial and I had a World War 291 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.080 Two veteran I was escorting, and we had a group 292 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.080 of I can't remember eight or ten young people, you know, 293 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.679 K through twelve. I'd say that maybe fifth grade, sixth 294 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.720 grade come up and shake their hands and it was 295 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.440 like it just, you know, at no prodding from an adult, 296 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.480 they just seem to wander over and shake the hands 297 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.360 of the veteran I was accompanying. And how about in 298 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.759 the welcome home ceremony where they're young people there as well. 299 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:28.120 I would say at this point at at least twenty 300 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.879 to twenty five percent. And I sent you to those pictures. 301 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.000 The one picture of the two young ladies holding the 302 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:37.279 very treasured triangle flag that we take on every flight. 303 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.279 Those are the Ziegler girls are from the Cleaves area. 304 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.159 They've even been interviewed nationally. They are like our Lemon 305 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:45.360 eight stan little girls. 306 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:45.720 Yeah. 307 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.240 The other one, I believe she's about ten now. She 308 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.159 has been at every welcome home for the last five 309 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.240 years they do fundraising. Between the two of them and 310 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.840 of course their mother, they've raised an excess of thirty 311 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.120 thousand dollars on a flight and you ask them why 312 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.000 and they said, we just love our veterans. 313 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:07.160 Oh my god, that's so amazing. God, I'll get ready 314 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.559 to have an allergy moment right now, Mike. Oh that's 315 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.119 really awesome. Well, God bless you for the work you 316 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.400 do for Honest Flight throughout the year, and thank you 317 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.799 for providing the update. I really was looking forward to 318 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:20.680 hearing from you this morning because I honestly, if I 319 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.599 had to put all my money down on something, I 320 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.559 would have put it down on exactly what you just 321 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:27.680 got done, saying that it was a huge turnout and 322 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.799 that you know a lot, and that young people actually 323 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.680 showed up. I try to encourage that, Mike, because it's 324 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.880 a great opportunity for young people to experience something they 325 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.200 probably rarely experience, and that's a healthy dose of patriotism 326 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.720 and respect for the American military and those who have served, 327 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.720 so including you, Mike. 328 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.200 Thank you, sir, May twenty first circle of your calendar. 329 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.880 Now when they May twenty first, nine pm. 330 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.079 Be there, amen, and you'll hear about it from me 331 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.920 as well in advance.

Right now, if you five cares 333 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.720 to the talk station stories or phone calls, their phone 334 00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.000 calls are always welcome here in the morning show, regardless 335 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.680 of which way we go. I'll be back after these 336 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:11.880 prief words and a happy Thursday. See now, I don't 337 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.279 know which future is index to look at. They keep changing. 338 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.519 I look at different sources and they are different. 339 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.279 Wherever I go something there, it's likely twelve percent up 340 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:20.759 and some say one point down. 341 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:22.480 I don't know anyway. 342 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.440 I know everybody got their money back yesterday as long 343 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.599 as you didn't pull it out of the market, including 344 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.039 west Side Jim. I will not tell you specifically what 345 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.240 he lost over the past week, but he got it 346 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:36.480 all back plus some yesterday. And the other reason I 347 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.240 bring up west Side Jim in the text he sent 348 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.279 me two days into early voting, and I got this 349 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.240 text last night about seven Only one hundred and fifty 350 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.359 six votes have been cast in the City of Cincinnati. 351 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.079 The Board of Elections, which he referred to as pathetic 352 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.599 with an exclamation point. City of Cincinnati residents, it's early 353 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.839 voting time. Let's get out there and cast a vote 354 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:56.319 for Corey Bowman, good Man. 355 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.279 Eddie how Ohio. That's the state budget. 356 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:03.319 I only have a couple of highlights on it because 357 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.680 that's all that was reported. Four thousand page omnibus bill 358 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.839 passed sixty to thirty nine. Five Republicans said no. Some 359 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.359 are saying there's a slash in public education funding. Some 360 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.759 are calling it an increase. This is one of the 361 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.599 big arguments going back and forth. The proposed budget gives 362 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.559 two hundred and twenty six million. Proponents for greater school 363 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.039 fundings say it should be closer to eight hundred million. 364 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:31.000 Finance Chair Brian Stewart of Ashville said that the two 365 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.599 twenty six is actually an increase from the amount that 366 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.440 the school's got in twenty twenty five. Some the Democrats argue, 367 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.799 say that's misleading. I don't know what the reality is 368 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.559 on that one. But the reason I bring it up. 369 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.880 Since I don't have a whole lot of details, So 370 00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:52.920 it's in that four thousand page omnibus. Guess what, Yeah, 371 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.920 money for the Cleveland Browns. Lawmakers agreed to put six 372 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.440 hundred million in bonds toward the new Browns stadium. This 373 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.799 one of and seventy six acre mixed use project that 374 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:08.799 the Haslam owners of the Browns family wants. At least 375 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:14.799 according to uh Thank Morgan Scharbe believe this is WCPO 376 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.000 news reporting, the state is going to end up paying 377 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.200 about one billion dollars to pay off the debt over 378 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.640 twenty five years. Browns are asking the state to borrow 379 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.440 six hundred million for the new stadium by issuing bonds 380 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:27.960 that the state would then repay. That will be you 381 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:33.000 repaying with interest including increased sales tax revenues, income tax revenues, 382 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.519 and commercial activity tax revenues from this what they call 383 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:43.759 Brook Park project. The stadium total costs two point four 384 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.960 billion dollars just just blows my mind. Cour to the team, 385 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.079 they say half of that's going to come from private 386 00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:55.160 sources and the public meaning the taxpayer is going to 387 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.119 put the rest of the bill Kuihoga County taxpayers, among others, 388 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.160 six hundred million going to be coming from them. The 389 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:03.480 remaining six hundred million dollars from this date, which means 390 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.480 that's you and me feel good about that. 391 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:13.319 Something I ran into this morning and thankfully the traffic 392 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.720 diversion was diverting people off I seventy one south onto 393 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.960 the Montgomery Road exit, which is the exit I take anyway. 394 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.039 And I was wondering and puzzling while the cones were 395 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.640 put up and the police were there. That's because a 396 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:30.319 semi tractor trailer hauling forty thousand pounds of cheese overturned 397 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.480 just south of that Montgomery Road exit, in between Montgomery 398 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.599 and Kenwood Road. So they were routing people off Montgomery 399 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.599 and having them reroute around to Kenwood Road and then 400 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:43.720 get back on seventy one at Kenwood. No injuries reported, 401 00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:47.279 No cheese spilled onto the highway. Chan drove past that 402 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.960 the high speed lane going northbound. It was the semi 403 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.799 and the accident had intruded into the northbound lane, but 404 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:59.039 he didn't stop and get cheese. Let's shut down about 405 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.160 eleven thirty pm last evening, according to Sergeant Robert May 406 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.079 of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Officers. So I guess it's 407 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.400 still being cleaned up. I have no idea because I 408 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:10.720 can't look out a window because I don't have one. 409 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.480 In other local stories, a Green township man's been accused 410 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.559 of following a senior citizen home and robbing him of 411 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.279 his car at gunpoint, leading police on a chase.

Victim called nine to one one police started following. 418 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:49.960 The officers said they had to stop chasing at it 419 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.920 because he was driving recklessly and putting people's lives at risk. 420 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:55.920 They later found the stolen car parked behind a house 421 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.319 Adam's estate at Police said they also found documents with 422 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.319 the victim's name on them inside the home.

As his tradition. Criminal complaint 455 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.960 doesn't reveal how much a many ranch packages, if any, 456 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:58.319 were secured after the victim crossed the McDonald's front counter threshold. 457 00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.640 I love the smoking gun. 458 00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:03.440 Cops responded to McDonald's on Friday afternoon, note of the 459 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.519 victim had visible injuries to her neck and elbow, adding 460 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:09.319 at the incident was all captured on video.

Not one 485 00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:41.279 of them ever removed their clothes and started walking down 486 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.240 the highway.

If everybody's having a happy Friday eighteenth, 591 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:47.240 and let's see, here's get something really important out of 592 00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:49.480 the way while I'm talking and shouldn't be doing it 593 00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.839 right now. But I didn't say hello to my wife 594 00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:54.480 this morning. It is again in Chicago at a conference. 595 00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:57.319 So there's a couple of hearts showing her that I 596 00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.559 love her and telling her that I'm thinking about her. 597 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:01.640 Thank you for indulging me on that. Getting out of 598 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:03.799 my system while I move over to let you know. 599 00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:06.480 One hour from now, George Brunneman returns to the studio. 600 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.000 He's gonna be talking about the Restored Liberty dot Us event. 601 00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.079 We talked touched on that yesterday with Americans for Prosperities 602 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.519 Donovan O'Neil. The event is on Sunday and everybody's welcome. 603 00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:20.799 It's a tax event. So George of Restore Liberty dot 604 00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:24.160 Us at seven oh five fall by Congressman Warren David. 605 00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.440 So we certainly have a lot to talk about with him, 606 00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:29.119 including tariffs and Oh my god, the world was going 607 00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.759 to end up until yesterday when Donald Trump announced a 608 00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:36.599 ninety day pause because seventy so far seventy five countries 609 00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:38.680 have stepped up to tell Donald Trump and the Trump 610 00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:42.039 administration that they want to haggle. They're willing to sit 611 00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.359 down and negotiate better trade terms. So he said, okay, 612 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.799 I'll pause for everybody who's willing to sit down with 613 00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:49.960 us and talk about it. We're gonna, you know, stop 614 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.079 these tariffs from taking effect. China, however, went the opposite direction, 615 00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:56.519 so you know, they added eighty four percent tariff on 616 00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:58.759 US goods that are in the country after Donald Trump 617 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.039 imposed one hundred and twenty five I don't number which 618 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:03.960 back and forth, but they're going the exact opposite direction. 619 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:10.599 But the market reacted quite favorably to Trump's pause and 620 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:14.599 so great illustration. As I mentioned the last hour, Jim 621 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:17.840 Keefer had lost a substantial amount during the sell off, 622 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:19.360 and of course if you looked at your four oh 623 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.119 one k or whatever else you had your stockholdings, you 624 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.880 probably lost a significant amount as well. He got it 625 00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.320 all back and then some yesterday they described it as 626 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:32.840 the third biggest sort market across the board market surge ever, 627 00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:35.599 or at least since World War two or something. But 628 00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:40.039 it was a massive reclaiming of the losses that had occurred, because, 629 00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.960 of course, the people are sitting down in the suggestion 630 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.320 that we might engage in some open and free to 631 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:48.440 way trade that's going to be good for everybody, so 632 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.760 happy to see that, and again ignoring whether or not 633 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:56.480 any of this is legal or within the executive powers. 634 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.880 That's the conversation I had with Judgent in apo Altana yesterday, 635 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:03.639 and you can feel free to look that up and 636 00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:07.000 listen to what he had to say, because it's probably 637 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:11.639 not and I share his constitutional analysis of that. But 638 00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:14.039 this is the reality we live in. There is that 639 00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:20.039 nineteen seventy seven law that allows an emergency emergency authorization 640 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.320 to use these tariffs, and that's what Trump asserted it under. 641 00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.039 And whether or not there is an actual emergency, because 642 00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.519 the fentanyl crisis was the original pretext for the Mexican 643 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:34.679 Canadian increase of twenty five percent, and that apparently was 644 00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.639 interpretedly too. It was interverted too broad, and it impacted 645 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.119 things far beyond Canada and Mexico. So he had to 646 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:45.000 shift gears and claim we have an emergency which authorizes 647 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:50.000 him to impose tariffs because of the trade imbalance. Well, 648 00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.079 the politano and the statistics pointed all out rightfully noted 649 00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.639 that the trade imbalance has existed since the nineteen thirty 650 00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.239 so not necessarily in an unforeseen unexpected event, which is 651 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.519 what constituted it's an emergency. Plus, there's some question looming 652 00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:03.320 around there as to. 653 00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:08.480 Whether that that that that the executive branch can even 654 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:13.719 take on a congressionally constitutionally delegated authority, which is the 655 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:18.280 power of the purse spending. You exist within the powers 656 00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:21.159 of Congress, not the executive branch, and there's many Supreme 657 00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.320 Court presidents saying you can't pawn off this authority. So 658 00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:27.079 I don't think that's ever been tested in court. It 659 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:32.079 may under these circumstances, But after yesterday's rebound, and if 660 00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:34.320 things keep going along swimmingly, there's not going to be 661 00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.840 a whole lot of I guess probably willingness to attack 662 00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:42.199 and go after these negotiations because they may lead to 663 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.880 a better place for everybody. So I'm just trying to 664 00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:46.920 keep that in mind rather than you know, putting my 665 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:49.679 constitutional and lawyer hat on and wondering whether any of 666 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.039 this is actually legal or not, but you can rest 667 00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:55.440 assured at least as of yesterday, you got your money 668 00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:58.079 back if you didn't flee the markets. And Brian James 669 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:01.440 on Money Monday would tell you never do that. Stocks 670 00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:04.239 go down, stocks go up, recessions happen, then they come 671 00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:06.760 out of them, and over time you always end up 672 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:08.280 on top with long term investments. 673 00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:12.079 Anyway, Canada's already suggested better negotiations and new economic and 674 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.400 security relationships. So say if Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney, 675 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.719 as I mentioned in the last hour, they're willing to 676 00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:27.840 sit down at the table to negotiate open and free trade. Yeah, 677 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.960 Canada most also continue deep in its relationship with trading 678 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:34.599 partners that share our values, including the free and open 679 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:36.679 exchange of good services and ideas. 680 00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:39.360 Yet good. 681 00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:44.760 It's amazing what Trump's been able to accomplish in such 682 00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:46.880 a short period of time if you put things in context, 683 00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:50.400 and speaking of getting things done in a short period 684 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:52.760 of time, I you know, related to nothing I've talked 685 00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:54.599 about this morning, but I thought it was a worthy 686 00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.519 exercise to talk about this exchange between Elon Musk and 687 00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:04.760 Chuck Schumer. Chuck, I'm starting to think you're getting a 688 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.960 piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, 689 00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:11.440 that couldn't possibly be the reason, could it. That was 690 00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:14.320 a post he put on X earlier this week, and 691 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:17.800 so Schumer had to respond to that, of course, because 692 00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:21.159 of course the Department of Government Efficiency has been exposing 693 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:24.039 all the fraud, waste, and abuse, including social Security, and 694 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:27.480 Schumer has been accusing of the Department of Governmental Efficiency 695 00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:31.400 of sabotaging his word social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which 696 00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:33.440 is an absolute, outright lie. 697 00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.159 And I hate repeating myself on that. 698 00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:40.159 How does getting rid of you know, one hundred and 699 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:43.360 fifty year old people off of active Social Security roles? 700 00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:47.159 Discovering that illegal immigrants to the tune of millions have 701 00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:50.159 been issued social Security numbers when they're not authorized or 702 00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:52.679 it's not legal for them to have them, under the 703 00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.320 circumstances that fraudulent payments have been flowing out within the 704 00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:03.480 Social Security Department for a long time. Medicaid obviously a 705 00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:09.239 lot of fraud involved in Medicaid. Millions of illegal immigrants 706 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:12.039 now hooked up to the Medicaid system, which people are 707 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:15.480 claiming that the Trump administration is trying to harm. If 708 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.199 you get rid of them and take them off Medicaid 709 00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:20.159 because they're not eligible to be on in the first place. 710 00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.880 And you get take these folks off the rolls of 711 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.559 taking money out of the Social Security funds, which really 712 00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:32.880 honestly don't exist. That's saving the system. So it's an 713 00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.320 outright lie when you say that they are trying to 714 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:39.239 destroy those systems. They're doing more than any other administration 715 00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:43.320 prior to help save and salvage them by getting rid 716 00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:50.639 of well fraud. So Sumer fires back to this suggestion, 717 00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:53.079 sort of you know, tongue in cheek suggestion that hey, 718 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.679 you're on the take. Could that possibly be the reason 719 00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:00.400 that you're against us doing what we're doing? Sumers responds, 720 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:03.719 another elon lie. He wants you to think that anyone 721 00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:07.159 who dares to stand up to him is committing fraud. 722 00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:13.840 Here's the salient part. Meanwhile, he's taking tens of billions 723 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:24.519 from the government. Close quote, Oh, so you went to 724 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:27.000 work today and yesterday and then he passed. However long 725 00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:31.480 you've been in the work world paying federal taxes. He's 726 00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:37.000 taking tens of billions from the government because it's the 727 00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.360 government's money. In the hearts and minds of most leftists 728 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:44.159 like Chuckie Schumer. Anyhow, it's an obvious lie, and you know, 729 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.079 someone gets in your face and starts telling you that 730 00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:48.079 you know just well how to ask them how it 731 00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:52.519 is that the Trump administration or Elon Must specifically, or 732 00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:56.559 anybody involved in ferreting out all this crap is taking 733 00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:59.400 something away from you when every dollar they save that 734 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.800 does not go out the door in fraud is actually 735 00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:03.920 a dollar that's going to actually go to someone who 736 00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:09.440 is within the legalities of Medicare, Medicaid social Security lawfully 737 00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:16.400 taking the money authorized to eligible for it. Meanwhile, over 738 00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:19.360 a socias security, the Social Security Administration announced this week 739 00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:23.360 that it's planning to perform an anti fraud check at 740 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.559 least on claims filed by phone and walk back services 741 00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:29.079 over the phone quote beginning on April fourteenth. The agency 742 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.960 announced on x the Social Security Administration will perform an 743 00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:35.400 anti fraud check on all claims filed over the telephone 744 00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:41.400 and flag claims that have fraud risk indicators. This after 745 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:45.719 a DOGE findings of waste fraud abuse, such as non 746 00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:48.920 citizens getting the Social Security numbers and payments to accounts 747 00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:50.880 said to be one hundred two hundred and even three 748 00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:54.679 hundred years old. Again, how is eradicating those names off 749 00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.960 the active ranks something that's bad, unless, of course, if 750 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.840 you believe Elon Musk's tongue and cheek comment that some 751 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:05.079 of our politicians are benefiting from that. Why else would 752 00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:08.360 a politician reject the idea of getting rid of those 753 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:11.079 active social and security numbers when these people clearly do 754 00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:16.679 not exist at least any longer. Don't you find something 755 00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:21.960 openly and obviously nefarious about that? I mean, they's so 756 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:26.280 wed to the anything Trump or his administration does is 757 00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:30.440 bad position. That's something that they used to out loud 758 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.400 advocate for. They're on tape, they're on video, they're on record. 759 00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:38.039 This campaign promises we're gonna ferret out the fraudways and 760 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:40.360 bus over in the Social Security Department. But they never 761 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:42.719 did anything about it. So it was okay when they 762 00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:45.199 said it and promised it, even though they didn't follow 763 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:47.360 through on it. But now that the Trump. 764 00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:50.159 Administration does it, they can't even give them okay, you 765 00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:52.199 know what, I hate to have to agree with something 766 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.639 Trump and his team are doing, but this is a 767 00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:58.079 good thing for the country. They're so wed to their 768 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.320 anti Trump, evil orange man position that they can't even 769 00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:03.280 give him credit for something that should have been done 770 00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:06.119 a long time ago, something that should have been part 771 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.679 of the core mission of all of these government entities 772 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:12.559 to have a fiduciary obligation perspective on the dollars they 773 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:18.079 have taken from you, to responsibly manage them to efficiently 774 00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:25.199 run their individual lettered agency. Doesn't that sound like something 775 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:28.880 that's good for everybody? Isn't that it like an apolitical thing, 776 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:40.159 something that lacks a partisan stripe. I mean, why can't 777 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:41.960 we all embrace that concept? 778 00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:44.840 Well, because we'd have to give Trump credit for actually 779 00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.159 getting something done that we've been promising the American people 780 00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:53.480 for years. Maybe that's the reason or what started this rant. 781 00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:56.840 Maybe Elon Musk is onto something with his tongue in 782 00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:58.800 cheek comment about Schumert being on the take. 783 00:43:58.920 --> 00:43:59.440 I don't know. 784 00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:03.000 Something tells me if he's around long enough, and that 785 00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.360 team in doges around long enough, they may find the 786 00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.800 paper trail which will tell us one way or another. 787 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:10.360 On the heels of that interesting comment from the White 788 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:12.880 House Press Secretary and Donald Trump the prior day about 789 00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:17.519 this this unbelievable revelation that they found that we will 790 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:21.199 soon find out about I'm waiting and waiting on that one. 791 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:25.039 Maybe they've already established this paper trail. My popcorns out 792 00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.280 sixty sixteen fifty five KRCITY talk station. Feel hed to 793 00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:29.480 call five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, 794 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.280 eight hundred and eighty two to three talk found five 795 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.719 fifty on AT and T phone. I am pleased to 796 00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:36.079 recommend to you, and so many listeners have taken me 797 00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:39.880 up on my recommendation ussay insulation for better comfort in 798 00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:43.239 your home and energy savings. Of course, energy saving is 799 00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.559 a tough thing to accomplish these days, giving the electric 800 00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:47.800 bills keep going up and up and up. Maybe the 801 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:50.440 Trump administration will do something about that. I can't guarantee that, 802 00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:53.480 but what I can guarantee you is six two fifty 803 00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.480 five krc DE Talk station, get a ready to go 804 00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:56.280 straight to the phone. 805 00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:57.559 He's got a couple of callers. 806 00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:02.400 Online beginning with order, which they received, was said Jim, Jim, 807 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:03.760 good to hear from. I mentioned your named a couple 808 00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:04.800 of times this morning already. 809 00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:06.280 Yeah, I heard that. 810 00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:08.000 Bryan's the reason I called in. 811 00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:09.559 Good morning, uh, good morning. 812 00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:12.599 You know, people need to just kind of settle back, 813 00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:16.079 if you know, talk to a financial planner or someone 814 00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:18.920 that handles your money or a four to one case. 815 00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.800 That's not in my case. I don't hit a four 816 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:24.000 to one. But you know, this has happened before, and 817 00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:27.199 my guy got me off the ledge, and I kind 818 00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:29.480 of I knew it was going to happen, But the 819 00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.039 past couple of weeks you get a little bit anxious 820 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:35.480 about when you see your your money going out the 821 00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:37.199 window and you wonder if it's going to come back. 822 00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:41.480 But I think Trump has actually come to reality that 823 00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:44.960 he's not God. He and he has to work with 824 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:48.320 these people instead of sitting up there playing the puppet manster. 825 00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:51.840 Well, the people and you're referring to countries with whom 826 00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.880 we trade wanted to now work with Trump. They reached 827 00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:57.320 out and express a desire to do that, and so 828 00:45:57.519 --> 00:45:59.760 I guess it was his Treasury secretary. He said, listen, man, 829 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:02.440 watch you back off the tariff. They're willing to come 830 00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:03.760 to the table. This is going to take a while 831 00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:08.159 to negotiate, so put a pause on it and let's 832 00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:10.199 see what happened. So he did that, and of course 833 00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:13.480 the markets reacted quite favorably. I mean the markets went 834 00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.519 through the roof of his record day of teff trading yesterday, 835 00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:19.519 and you didn't lose any money. If you didn't sell anything, 836 00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:21.599 you didn't lose anything. Because a financial plann would be 837 00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:24.320 quick to tell you that it's like what's my house worth. 838 00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:29.079 It's worth what it's worth the day you close, not before. 839 00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:33.440 You don't know what's my portfolio worth. Well, right now, 840 00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:36.039 at this moment in time, it's worth X, but tomorrow 841 00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:38.239 may be worth something less than X, and the day 842 00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:39.599 after maybe X plus. 843 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.320 But it's the day you sell. 844 00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:43.039 It is when you know whether you had made a 845 00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.719 profit or took a loss. And that's all there is 846 00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:46.079 to it. 847 00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:47.920 Well, and the. 848 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.039 People that got freaked out and took their money out 849 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:54.440 right away or in the past couple of weeks, I 850 00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:56.280 know they're sorry they did it. But you know what 851 00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.480 you do now is you sit back and wait for 852 00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:02.360 about sixty to seventy seventy five eighty days, and then 853 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:05.760 when that ninety day ringing the bell is going to 854 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:08.079 come up, then you do make some kind of an 855 00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:10.880 action because if you take it out now, you got 856 00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:13.440 losses and they're not they're not coming back. 857 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:16.079 I mean, why you don't sew that's why you don't 858 00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:18.880 sew when the market drops like it did exactly. I mean, 859 00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:21.000 no one wants to see that happen. It does cause 860 00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:24.559 anxiety and concerns. But you know, there's a lot of 861 00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:27.840 market volatility these days, especially the way the stocks are 862 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.519 traded with artificial intelligence factoring into it, and you got 863 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:34.679 all these instantaneous transactions done by computers stuff. It's not 864 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:36.360 like the old days where you had to call up 865 00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:39.679 your broker and people looked at actual things that are important, 866 00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:42.800 like pe ratios. Sometimes people just trade on a whim, 867 00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:45.480 you know, meme stocks and things like that. It's a 868 00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:47.360 crazy thing out there. That's why I'm not involved with 869 00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:49.320 financial planning. I don't think about it. I never look 870 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:51.440 at my four to one K until I have my 871 00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:54.480 sort of semi annual meeting with my financial planner and 872 00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:57.639 get a lay of the landscape. So that's why I 873 00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:00.320 don't get anxiety because I don't look. I don't know 874 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.440 how much I lost two days ago, and I'm sure 875 00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:05.079 it was a good chunk. But I feel pretty confident, 876 00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.280 like you, Jim, that you made it all back yesterday. 877 00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:11.639 What's gonna happen today? Don't know, Dot Dallas Trading. Look 878 00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:15.639 at futures are down point smps down point one point 879 00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.760 four NASDAK futures one point six down. So we might 880 00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.039 lose a little bit of today. What will happen the 881 00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:25.880 next day, God only knows. Pat, hang on, I'll take 882 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:27.639 your call in a minute, I'd say, already out of time. 883 00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:29.639 Here at six twenty six to fifty five KR City 884 00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:32.079 Talk Station.

Hammon Kenny Bard of Elections 899 00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:13.079 has all the information posted on the website, which is 900 00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:18.679 vote Hamilton Countyohio dot gov, so you can probably find 901 00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:20.559 out the answer to your question right there. I'd vote 902 00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:22.840 Hamilton County, Ohio dot gov. 903 00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:27.679 So okay, sure thingk Pat, you have a great day. 904 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:31.719 Thanks for calling six thirty comingup with six thirty three. Yeah, 905 00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:33.440 southbound seventy one. I don't know if they cleaned it 906 00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:36.320 up yet, but a semi tractor trailer hauling forty pounds 907 00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:41.280 of cheese flipped over the southbound lane. Happened overnight about 908 00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.639 eleven thirty last evening, and it was closed as of 909 00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:47.239 this morning. When I was pulling in to the Montgomery 910 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:50.000 Road exit, and thankfully that's where they were diverting people, 911 00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:51.880 so I got diverted right off or where I normally 912 00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:54.920 divert anyway, moving people down to Kenwood and then Kenwood 913 00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:58.039 back on to seventy one. So they're cleaning it up. 914 00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.880 Wreckord was on the scene and my producer for Today 915 00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.400 Covin for Joe Strekker, Sean McMahon said he drove past 916 00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:07.639 the coming northbound the northbound lanes were closed because most 917 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.079 of some of the wreck had, you know, crossed over 918 00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:14.639 the dividing strip Therehile House passed the budget and you're 919 00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:16.920 not going to be happy about it. Ignoring everything else, 920 00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:22.599 Let's focus on stupid six hundred million dollars from for 921 00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.880 bonds for the grand and glorious mega complex for the 922 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:31.239 Cleveland Browns. While makers agreed to put six hundred million 923 00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:34.280 in bonds toward the new Brown Stadium, a one hundred 924 00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.719 and seventy six acre mixed use project filled with stuff 925 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:40.639 and things, they asked the state to borrow six hundred 926 00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:43.000 million for the new stadium by issuing bonds debt the 927 00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:48.320 state would then repay with interest using increased sales tax revenues, 928 00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:51.719 income tax revenues, and commercial activity tax revenues from the 929 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:56.320 entire Brook Park project. Taxpayers basically on the hook for that. 930 00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:59.679 They say it would cost the state one billion dollars 931 00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:03.679 to pay off that debt over twenty five years. Stadium 932 00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:07.280 cost two point four billion. Every time I read that, 933 00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.079 it just puts bile up in my throat. Half of 934 00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:13.559 it from private sources, they claim, the public footing the 935 00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:15.840 rest of the bill six hundred million coming from local 936 00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:19.840 governments like Cuyahoga County taxpayers. So they're going to feel 937 00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:23.159 the sting that Hamilton County taxpayers did with the Paul 938 00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:25.960 at the formerly known Paul Brown Stadium, and then the 939 00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:27.920 remaining six hundred million coming from the state. 940 00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:33.480 Why don't vote Democrat. 941 00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:37.679 Well they're you know that might apply normally, but you know, 942 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:41.039 this was the vote on this budget package, sixty to 943 00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:45.639 thirty nine, five Republicans voting against it. So the vast 944 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:49.400 majority of this is coming from Republicans which run Columbus. 945 00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:54.679 It is a deep, deep, deep red state. Sean, Okay, 946 00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:57.519 I give you a pass on that. See I could 947 00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:00.000 correct the record. Gave me an opportunity to remind me 948 00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.440 folks that Republicans do stupid things as well. Six thirty five. 949 00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:06.719 If you have Karcite talk station, maybe feel differently about 950 00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:08.519 that one. You're not going to change my mind on 951 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:14.800 taxpayer funded stadiums. Six forty one fifty about kars De 952 00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:15.320 talk station. 953 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:18.840 See, I don't know everything. That's why I rely on 954 00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:19.559 smart people. 955 00:52:19.559 --> 00:52:21.440 In this particular case, George Brenneman is going to be 956 00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:22.800 in studio off the top of the R News. We 957 00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:24.639 got a whole bunch of different topics to talk about, 958 00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:26.800 including the event on Sunday, So it's not just that 959 00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:30.679 issue too. Based on Pat's call, Issue two is on 960 00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:32.920 the bile for the entire state of ohiouse everybody. Hamilton 961 00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:34.800 kind of needs to get out there and vote, and 962 00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:37.000 he says vote no on issue too, So we'll talk 963 00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:38.800 about issue too when he comes into studio after the 964 00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:41.519 top of the R News. So there is the correct 965 00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:45.079 answer to the question posed by Pat and apologies, I 966 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:46.599 didn't have that in the forefront of my mind. But 967 00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:49.920 then again, you know, I got limited random access memory 968 00:52:49.960 --> 00:52:52.159 going on up there, and the older I get, the 969 00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:55.079 less space there is in there. It's like when you 970 00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:57.239 choose to commit to something to memory, you've got to 971 00:52:57.320 --> 00:53:00.239 like throw something out that's in your hard drive. I've 972 00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:05.239 I think this is kind of way my life goes. Anyway, 973 00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:08.639 I'll read this real quick here because if you weren't 974 00:53:08.679 --> 00:53:10.599 listening this morning, in the five o'clock hour, we heard 975 00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:13.559 from Curbage Mike my submarine, her friend who is very 976 00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:17.719 very much involved in Honor Fly Try State. Dianne Benicki, 977 00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:21.000 the ambassador for Honor Fly Try State, issued this to everyone. 978 00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:23.480 She just quick note to say thanks to all to 979 00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:26.039 made the trip out to CVG for the all caps 980 00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:29.480 best welcome home ever, which is kind of the way 981 00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:33.039 Mike described it. The ambassadors and the sales tables scattered throughout. 982 00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:35.199 We're able to answer questions. Thanks to the Essaar and 983 00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:37.639 Dar and others who made up the color guard. Thanks 984 00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:40.400 to the Hibernians and the Emerald Society pipes and drums 985 00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:43.760 who so wonderfully led the parade. Thanks to the staff 986 00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.719 at CVG for loading as part of their space for 987 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.039 the celebration. And a heartfelt thank you to those who 988 00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:51.519 gave handshakes and kisses to those veterans returning from the 989 00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:55.079 trip of a lifetime. Most of these returning last evening 990 00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:57.920 did not receive this kind of welcome upon the return 991 00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:00.239 from duty. And of course she's referred to the Vietnam vetters, 992 00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.519 which made up the mass of the majority of those there. 993 00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:05.599 She writes, I saw a great deal of emotion in 994 00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:08.360 the eyes as well as amazement at the size of 995 00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:11.119 the crowd. Thanks again, remember we do this again. Put 996 00:54:11.159 --> 00:54:13.920 it on your calend Wednesday, May twenty first. Hope to 997 00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:16.360 see you then. It is a wonderful event to attend 998 00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:19.480 the return home celebration. So thanks to everybody, he was 999 00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:22.960 able to make it. And I got a big chuckle 1000 00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:30.280 out of this. I guess this masa make America's showers 1001 00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:36.400 great again. Donald Trump did another executive order yesterday repealing 1002 00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:40.559 a ruling by the prior administration and the Obama administration 1003 00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:47.199 restricting water flow from shower heads. Back in twenty twenty one, 1004 00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:51.840 the Department of Energy under Biden reversed a Trump era 1005 00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:56.079 rule that had removed the Obama administration's limitations on the 1006 00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:58.119 flow of water from your shower head at two point 1007 00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:02.079 five gallons per minute. So one administration, you know, screws 1008 00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:04.239 you over, and another one comes in and gives you 1009 00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:07.920 the freedom to choose, and then, of course the following administration, 1010 00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:11.920 under a different political persuasion, takes the right to choose 1011 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:13.880 away from you. And in terms of shower head, I 1012 00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:16.599 would much prefer a higher flowing shower head. And that's 1013 00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:18.320 kind of how I got a chuckle out of this article, 1014 00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:22.360 because apparently Donald Trump likes it too. So yesterday in 1015 00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:24.880 the Oval Office, Trump recented the Biden air's standards and 1016 00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:33.239 said this, he's so goofy. Sometimes in my case, I 1017 00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:35.360 like to take a nice shower to take care of 1018 00:55:35.400 --> 00:55:39.199 my beautiful hair, I have to stand under the shower 1019 00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:44.159 for fifteen minutes until it gets wet. It comes out, drip, drip, drip. 1020 00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:47.519 It's ridiculous. And he'd made prior statements to that effect before, 1021 00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:53.119 but apparently in connection with this executive order, they called 1022 00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:55.119 how and they called out how much legal ease was 1023 00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:57.760 used to define, you know, a showerhead, saying the Biden 1024 00:55:57.800 --> 00:56:01.599 administration was a The Biden definition was a staggering thirteen 1025 00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:07.440 thousand words the Oxford English Dictionary, by contrast, to find 1026 00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:14.119 showerhead in one short sentence. So the order apparently impacted 1027 00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:17.599 other limitations done by the Obama and Biden administrations for 1028 00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:22.159 everyday utilities such as gas stoves, water heaters, washing machines, furnishes, 1029 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:28.440 and dishwashers, noting that this administration will aim to end 1030 00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:34.800 quote Biden's dumb war on things that work. Close quote 1031 00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:39.039 amen to that, listen. I'm all about choice. If there's 1032 00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:42.159 a more efficient product out there and it's available, fine, 1033 00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:44.719 but don't take away ones that work from us. Quite often, 1034 00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:48.960 they these so called more efficient products cost you a 1035 00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:53.719 lot more money to acquire, and this is another illustration 1036 00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:56.440 of you know, who's the fascist, the government that's telling 1037 00:56:56.519 --> 00:57:01.239 a manufacturer they must limit their product to do x, 1038 00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:04.320 Y or z and it may not exceed some random 1039 00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:07.719 arbitrary figure like two point five gallons per minute. Where 1040 00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.280 did that come from? Why isn't a two point eight 1041 00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:13.880 or two point one? I don't know. Oh, I'm sure 1042 00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.039 they've got statistics that you and I paid for some 1043 00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:18.760 random government study to say two point five is about 1044 00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:23.760 all the people can tolerate. But offering one that uses 1045 00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:26.119 less water, you can market that saying, you know, if 1046 00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:28.559 your water bill is really high, why don't you choose 1047 00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:32.880 one of these lower flowing shower heads or do what 1048 00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:35.639 the vast majority of us do. There's that little restrict 1049 00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:38.480 in there, that piece of plastic that's about, I don't know, 1050 00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:41.239 a quarter inch wide. You stick a little knife or 1051 00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:43.119 a pin or something in there, and you pop that 1052 00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:45.599 guy out, and you magically turn a two point five 1053 00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:48.360 gallon per minuted shower head into something that actually works. 1054 00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:52.800 There is a workaround, but. 1055 00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:56.599 Taking away the option of cooking with natural gas, for example, 1056 00:57:57.320 --> 00:58:00.920 I mean, that's what works the best. I've been cooking 1057 00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:03.320 with gas pretty much my entire life. My mom had 1058 00:58:03.360 --> 00:58:05.599 an electric stove and it sucked, and she'd tell you 1059 00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:13.599 the same thing. Restaurants use gas. It's immediately changeable temperature wise, 1060 00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:18.760 it's really it works wonderfully. And how many emissions you 1061 00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:21.079 think are put up by such a simple stove? And 1062 00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:24.320 don't believe your home is being polluted by your gas stove. 1063 00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:26.800 I mean, I got a blower right above mind that 1064 00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:28.880 pulls all that out of the house. But even if 1065 00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.039 you don't have one, the amount of pollutants that come 1066 00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:34.639 out of it are very, very minimal. And of course 1067 00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:37.880 people aren't dropping dead left and right because you use 1068 00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:40.920 a gas stove. But that's just one cliance among many 1069 00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:43.239 trying to take away your furnace from you, trying to 1070 00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:45.440 take away you'r hot or your hot water heater from you, 1071 00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:50.599 micromanaging industry and limiting the American people's choice in the 1072 00:58:50.679 --> 00:58:53.800 name of some religion out there that many people don't 1073 00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:57.000 believe in, including me. Offer it as a choice, let 1074 00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:58.960 the consumer decide, much in the same way I argue 1075 00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:02.960 about electric vehicles. Some people love them, some people don't. 1076 00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:08.599 Let us choose and let the market forces decide. It's 1077 00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:15.480 been a successful mechanism and a successful concept for almost 1078 00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:17.760 as long as our country has been around, well up 1079 00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:20.599 until the last couple of administrations. Anyway, six forty eight 1080 00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:26.239 fifty five ker CD talk station, a forty six fifty 1081 00:59:26.239 --> 00:59:28.280 three to fifty five pair CD talk station, and a 1082 00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:30.960 very happy what a Friday eve to you? 1083 00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:33.320 Kimber? Which date it is? George TETs because my wife's 1084 00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:33.760 out of town. 1085 00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:36.199 Uh. 1086 00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:39.519 George Runneman in the studio restored Liberity dot us with 1087 00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:41.880 a whole host of topics to talk about, including issue too. 1088 00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:43.440 I just got the ballot language. 1089 00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:44.679 Uh. 1090 00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:45.599 It offers a. 1091 00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:49.840 Two point five billion dollars in general obligation bond. This 1092 00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:52.840 is the State of Ohio limited as two hundred fifty 1093 00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:55.840 million dollars per year over ten years to fund the 1094 00:59:56.000 --> 01:00:02.119 state capital improvements program via the Ohio Public Works Commission. Anyway, 1095 01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:04.719 the cord to the Hio Public Works Commission, fifty six 1096 01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:08.360 point seven percent of this bond money borrowed money that 1097 01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:09.320 will have to pay interest on. 1098 01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:12.119 We'll go to roads, and I gotta stop right there. 1099 01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:13.960 But some of it's gonna go to water supply, some 1100 01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:17.039 to wastewater management, some for bridges and culverts, and a 1101 01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:22.239 tiny amount for storm routed utilities. But I thought we 1102 01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:25.360 paid tax on gasoline to fund the roads. And I thought, 1103 01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:28.079 you know, municipalities charged taxing the like for the game. 1104 01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:29.760 But the gamp of the City of Cincinnati supposed to 1105 01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:32.440 be taking care of roads and it doesn't. So we're 1106 01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:34.760 supposed to allow the state to borrow two point five 1107 01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:39.960 billion dollars to further fund something that's supposed to have 1108 01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:44.559 already been funded. I'm sorry, I gotta go a hard 1109 01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:46.559 no on that one. And well, I know George Runham 1110 01:00:46.559 --> 01:00:48.960 has already told me to say vote no on issue too, 1111 01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:51.440 but I take him at his word. But you know, 1112 01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:53.639 having read the language, which you can find yourself. Just 1113 01:00:53.639 --> 01:00:58.320 search Ohio Issue to twenty twenty five in your search 1114 01:00:58.360 --> 01:01:00.280 engine and you two can read the lange, we'd and 1115 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:02.880 jar your own conclusions about that. I haven't seen the 1116 01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:06.880 arguments for or against, but you know, I thought roads 1117 01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:08.079 were supposed to have been paid for. 1118 01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:09.960 Anyway. 1119 01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:13.920 More with George Brennman, followed by Congressman Warren Davidson. Congressman 1120 01:01:13.960 --> 01:01:16.599 Davidson returns to the program at seven forty.

George Brunneman. It's always 1138 01:02:14.159 --> 01:02:16.280 a pleasure of seeing you in person and talking with you. 1139 01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:19.000 I see again Brian, Well. 1140 01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:20.960 Since it came up and you're the one that I'd 1141 01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:24.480 forgotten all that issue too, it's made me a stealth 1142 01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:27.880 issue that's exactly nobody's talking about it, and I'm like, 1143 01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:30.039 what the hell is issued too? And I feel embarrassed 1144 01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:32.639 because of course it's an issue that's on the ballot. 1145 01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:35.360 Early voting has already started. It's not just City of Cincinnati, 1146 01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.199 which I've been focusing on because you know, Corey Bowmen's 1147 01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:41.159 been on the program, you know, like what freshing alternative 1148 01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:44.119 to the current you know, Democrat runs city with all 1149 01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:47.679 the problems and all the issues, and so issue too 1150 01:02:47.719 --> 01:02:50.239 flew completely under my radar, to my embarrassment. But I'm 1151 01:02:50.239 --> 01:02:52.280 happy to admit that, yeah, even I don't know everything 1152 01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:55.440 that's going on, but a statewide issue, and it's a 1153 01:02:55.480 --> 01:03:01.760 two point five billion dollar general obligation bond basically for infrastructure, 1154 01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:06.280 including fifty six point seven percent of it apparently directed 1155 01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:07.119 to roads. 1156 01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:10.199 Well, they do the infrastructure stuff because they know it's 1157 01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:12.480 easy to pass that. It's like doing a library levee 1158 01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:14.880 or a child's you know, health levee or something. It's 1159 01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:16.639 one of those things that they know will pass. But 1160 01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:20.920 in this case they're actually putting it into the Ohio Constitution. Again, 1161 01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:23.239 like you know, it seems anymore they can't get the 1162 01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:25.679 legislature to do what they want, so they they stick 1163 01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:29.760 it in the constitution. But it's basically like you say, 1164 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:33.639 billions of dollars in a slush fund. So it's a 1165 01:03:33.679 --> 01:03:36.760 bond saying we're going to have this bond out there 1166 01:03:36.800 --> 01:03:39.840 that they can use whenever they want for whatever projects 1167 01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:41.440 they want, as long as it fits in that you know, 1168 01:03:41.519 --> 01:03:46.599 infrastructure category. But bonds are basically future taxes. So if 1169 01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:49.480 you're going to have this two point five billion dollar bond, 1170 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:51.679 it means at some point we're going to pay ten 1171 01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:54.239 x that because it's a loan and you got interest 1172 01:03:54.320 --> 01:03:56.880 rates and they're sky high now. So I mean, not 1173 01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:58.719 only is it the wrong time to be taken a 1174 01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:02.840 loan because of the instru it's just learn how to 1175 01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:06.000 spend within your budget money well, and if. 1176 01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:08.519 You need money for the roads, you know, again going 1177 01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:11.360 back to inaction within the legislative branch. And of course 1178 01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:14.000 we can see that in Washington, DC literally every day 1179 01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:16.320 of the week over the past how many decades, right, 1180 01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:21.280 But I think a more appropriate response to that would 1181 01:04:21.320 --> 01:04:24.199 be a gasoline tax. I'm sorry, they just passed what 1182 01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:27.280 two years ago by Billy Sites got us that one. 1183 01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:29.760 It was right another thirty cents or something, and people 1184 01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:32.320 got upset about that, and I understand being upset about that. 1185 01:04:32.360 --> 01:04:34.199 But if you're driving a car, you're using the roads. 1186 01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:37.639 Except if you're driving a Tesla Evil Teslas, you're not 1187 01:04:37.639 --> 01:04:40.280 paying a gasoline tax. Maybe there should be an EV 1188 01:04:40.599 --> 01:04:42.840 tax since they weighed so much more than other automobiles. 1189 01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:45.400 They actually did that too, I forgot, did they. Yeah, 1190 01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:48.480 so my hybrids, my cars are both hybrids, and so 1191 01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:50.679 I got an extra I think it's like seventy five 1192 01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:53.039 fifty bucks or something like that that I have to 1193 01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:56.920 pay for my license plates because I don't use enough gas. Okay, 1194 01:04:56.960 --> 01:05:00.239 Well to me, that's fair. You use the roads, pay 1195 01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:01.960 for the wear and tear on the roads. Okay, but 1196 01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:04.239 I live on the West Side, so like, like Corey 1197 01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:06.599 likes to say, his speech is, we don't need speed bumps, 1198 01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:07.559 we got potholes. 1199 01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:07.960 I know. 1200 01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:10.599 Oh god, sunset here, I can bring that up right 1201 01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:12.519 out of the gate. It's like it's like bringing up 1202 01:05:12.559 --> 01:05:18.440 the streetcar when with five friends from the Taxpayer Protection 1203 01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:19.679 Alliance are on the program. 1204 01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:21.880 Anyhow. But so, yeah, there's issue two on the ballot. 1205 01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:23.599 It's the only thing on the ballot. I think your 1206 01:05:23.639 --> 01:05:25.639 color was from Cole Rain. So that's the only thing 1207 01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:28.000 on the Cole Rain ballot. Okay, I think it's the 1208 01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:29.039 only thing on most of them. 1209 01:05:29.159 --> 01:05:33.159 But as Jim Keifer pointed out, as of yesterday, I 1210 01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:34.840 suppose at the end of the day only one hundred 1211 01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:39.679 and fifty six people had early voted. So was this 1212 01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:42.440 about initiative that got issue too on the ballot? 1213 01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:46.079 I don't think so. Okay, I do not think so. 1214 01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:49.079 So the slush fund is a desire from our elected 1215 01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:52.400 officials in Columbus or some lobbyist firm that got had 1216 01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:55.599 put on there. All right, that's the way Columbus tends 1217 01:05:55.639 --> 01:06:01.000 to work. Well, I would go no, cause again, infrastructure 1218 01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:03.559 more money. It's just a lot of extra money and 1219 01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:06.159 it could go literally anywhere, and probably we'll be directed 1220 01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:11.079 to well connected developers and contractors. Absolutely absolutely, all right, Well, 1221 01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:14.000 we had a Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity. 1222 01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:16.679 Who's teaming up with you for the Sunday event? Yes, 1223 01:06:17.239 --> 01:06:21.679 the Restore Liberty US Sunday event at Double Tree Suite's 1224 01:06:21.719 --> 01:06:24.599 Blue Ash sixty three hundred East Kemper Road. 1225 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:28.840 Doors open at four point thirty. A complimentary good word 1226 01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:31.840 for that, because it's a dinner buffet, complimentary dinner buffet 1227 01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:34.599 at five pm with speakers starting out at six. Again, 1228 01:06:35.079 --> 01:06:37.920 remind my listeners what the point of this Sunday event is. 1229 01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:41.400 So it started out as a tax day rally. You 1230 01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:43.480 remember in the good old tea party days, we used 1231 01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:44.440 to have us all the time. 1232 01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:46.960 Yeah. The last one was actually in twenty twelve when 1233 01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:49.920 I was president. Since a tea party Dan Regan Old 1234 01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:54.119 and I did we demand a balanced budget amendment on 1235 01:06:54.199 --> 01:06:56.559 Fountain Square in twenty twelve. We haven't had anything like 1236 01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:58.920 that since, and so that's kind of where it started. 1237 01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:01.000 But then the more we thought about it, the idea 1238 01:07:01.079 --> 01:07:04.239 is we're living in a really unique time now where 1239 01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:07.719 we have an actual chance to cut spending. We got 1240 01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:11.639 Doze out there finding all of this ridiculous amounts of spending. 1241 01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:14.320 You know, computer systems that don't talk to each other, 1242 01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:19.400 and therefore we got millions of migrants on our Social Security, Medicare, 1243 01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:22.960 and Medicaid. It's like, this is ridiculous. So the focus 1244 01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:24.840 is going to be on the on the spending side 1245 01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:26.679 of it. So why are we spending so much? How 1246 01:07:26.679 --> 01:07:29.320 do we make these permanent and how do we push 1247 01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:31.800 it down to the local level. You know, the state 1248 01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:35.079 budget increased twenty percent. What the heck are they thinking 1249 01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:39.639 other than I've heard part of that is the cask 1250 01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:43.840 thank you of expanded Medicare, and now the federals aren't 1251 01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:46.800 kicking in everything, so we have to pay that of 1252 01:07:46.800 --> 01:07:51.119 Medicare and Medicaid, Medicaid Medicaid Medicare you pay for Medicaid, 1253 01:07:51.159 --> 01:07:54.800 you get exactly. But and it was all funded by 1254 01:07:54.800 --> 01:07:56.800 the federal government, so that made it a okay, like 1255 01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:59.440 ninety percent covered by the federal government. But I remember 1256 01:07:59.559 --> 01:08:01.960 arguing against that, saying that this day was coming that 1257 01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:03.880 they were going to take that funding away. 1258 01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:06.400 And now it's our problem to foot that bill right, 1259 01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:10.320 and no work obligation. We have people who are able bodied, 1260 01:08:10.599 --> 01:08:14.840 young people who are taking from you know, those who 1261 01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:19.920 really qualify for assistance under Medicaid, so draining the resources 1262 01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:23.560 and dollars from that. When there are job opportunities out there, 1263 01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:27.479 I mean, the trades alone you can earn while you learn, 1264 01:08:28.319 --> 01:08:31.640 have gainful employment and a career that will pay you 1265 01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:35.439 quite quite well. Yes, I mean, you know, embrace the trades. 1266 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:39.239 You know, be an electrician, become a plumber, you contrary 1267 01:08:39.479 --> 01:08:43.800 construction work. There are literally thousands of jobs available out there, 1268 01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:47.520 and it's an interesting skill. I mean there's a difference between, 1269 01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:49.359 you know, sitting in a desk using your brain all 1270 01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:52.079 day and sitting at a job site using your hands 1271 01:08:52.119 --> 01:08:55.159 and arms. I find both of them fulfilling. I don't 1272 01:08:55.159 --> 01:08:57.640 know why they treat one differently than the other either. 1273 01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:00.359 Of course, I grew up with a dad that you know, 1274 01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:05.319 was a handyman. Did everything I didn't. I suggested, joke, 1275 01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:09.760 black electrical tape or WD forty. If either of those 1276 01:09:09.800 --> 01:09:12.479 didn't fix it, Dad, that would hire somebody out. And 1277 01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:15.640 you know, necessity is the mother of invention. So when 1278 01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:17.479 my wife and I bought our first house, we lived 1279 01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:20.119 in oak Park, just outside of Chicago. While I was 1280 01:09:20.159 --> 01:09:22.720 practicing up there, the house was one hundred and twenty 1281 01:09:22.760 --> 01:09:26.119 five years old and it had been mostly updated by 1282 01:09:26.119 --> 01:09:28.600 the prior owners. For that twenty percent that still need 1283 01:09:28.600 --> 01:09:31.039 to work. That was before the internet. I would go 1284 01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:34.600 to the library and I'd get a book on electrician 1285 01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:38.199 you know really, yeah, I ran wire. I did hardwood 1286 01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:41.560 floor work either. I even did plaster and lathe work. 1287 01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:46.279 I had all kinds of woodworking projects and you know, 1288 01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:49.880 I learned a lot because, you know, I didn't have 1289 01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:51.680 a lot of extra money to hire somebody out to 1290 01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:54.399 do it, and it's expensive to hire a contractor in Chicago. 1291 01:09:54.600 --> 01:09:58.039 You think it's bad now here, Lord Almighty. You know, 1292 01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:00.920 it's just was like, well, honey, we're either going to 1293 01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:03.079 put that one off or I'm gonna have to. 1294 01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:04.439 Learn how to do how to do it, and it 1295 01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:08.279 was fun. Well, YouTube nowadays is the easiest, and I 1296 01:10:08.279 --> 01:10:10.960 wish I had YouTube back then. It really would have 1297 01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:14.159 streamlined the process. Oh golly. Yeah. So, I mean, so 1298 01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:16.439 it's getting back to the event that the idea was, 1299 01:10:17.079 --> 01:10:21.199 we really wanted to emphasize what can happen now because 1300 01:10:21.239 --> 01:10:24.760 it's such a unique time. Yeah. So we've got Corey 1301 01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:27.199 Bowman's gonna be there talking about what his plans are 1302 01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:29.880 for City of Cincinnati to get the budget under control. 1303 01:10:29.920 --> 01:10:34.520 We got Adam Matthews Rodney Creech coming in from Columbus. Uh, 1304 01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:36.880 Columbus is a big deal right now? Is income tax? 1305 01:10:36.920 --> 01:10:38.920 Getting rid of the income tax? Yeah? 1306 01:10:39.119 --> 01:10:41.840 Uh promise he wants to do that, and I had 1307 01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:43.439 a conversation with him here. He's going to be at 1308 01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:46.119 the Warren Kenny Lincoln Reagan Dinner tonight and I'm speaking 1309 01:10:46.119 --> 01:10:46.560 there and. 1310 01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:48.239 Oh you can be there as well. I'll see you there. 1311 01:10:48.239 --> 01:10:51.159 Oh good, good, good. Yeah, they changed the shuffle. 1312 01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:53.319 We shuffled who's doing what, and apparently I get to 1313 01:10:53.359 --> 01:10:56.600 introduce VVK, which is a real honor and privilege, because 1314 01:10:56.640 --> 01:10:58.840 I've had a tremendous matter respect from that guy since 1315 01:10:58.880 --> 01:11:02.239 I interviewed when he out as a Woke Incorporated. 1316 01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:04.640 Book same here. So I did a podcast with him 1317 01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:07.800 real early on in that process, and I was just amazed. 1318 01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:10.479 That guy is one of the smartest people I've ever 1319 01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:15.560 met ever, and he's so enthusiastic and excited. I mean 1320 01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:17.680 you can hear it in his voice. Oh yeah, about 1321 01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:20.479 the future for all time, and his brain goes into overdrive. 1322 01:11:21.159 --> 01:11:23.680 We started off the podcast with the joke that he's 1323 01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:26.159 the valedictorian to Saint X. I'm a valed victorian from 1324 01:11:26.359 --> 01:11:28.520 from Elder High School. I had to get my little 1325 01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:32.720 digs in there. But every time we talk it he 1326 01:11:32.760 --> 01:11:38.000 outranks you. No offense to my west side further out 1327 01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:42.520 or that was a joke, But we actually got news 1328 01:11:42.600 --> 01:11:44.800 yesterday that Vivek is going to be sending us a 1329 01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:47.920 video message for the for the thing tomorrow, as is 1330 01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:51.479 Bernie Marino to I mean Sunday Sunday. Sorry, Sunday Sunday. 1331 01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:54.079 So if you come to the if you come to 1332 01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:56.960 the Double Tree, you'll hear from Bernie Marino, you'll hear 1333 01:11:56.960 --> 01:11:59.680 from Viveake. We're still trying to get Warren Davidson to 1334 01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:02.600 send us something, but we'll give him a shout out 1335 01:12:02.600 --> 01:12:04.600 when he's on here. Coming up on the program at 1336 01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:08.159 seven forty this morning. Cool. But then we also have 1337 01:12:09.079 --> 01:12:12.000 Mark Pokita. Have you ever interviewed Mark. He's with the 1338 01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:16.159 Grassroots Freedom Initiative. He's going to give us sort of 1339 01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:20.199 the facts on what's going on fiscal wise in Ohio. 1340 01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:22.079 So he's going to talk a little bit about issue too. 1341 01:12:22.319 --> 01:12:25.319 He's going to talk about the new budget, what they're 1342 01:12:25.359 --> 01:12:28.560 doing with property taxes versus income taxes. So it should 1343 01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:31.199 be a you know, a fairly eclectic presentation. 1344 01:12:31.479 --> 01:12:35.359 And I saw they just passed the budget in Columbus. Yeah, 1345 01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:41.119 four thousand pages, sixty sixty to thirty something. 1346 01:12:41.800 --> 01:12:45.119 With only five Republicans win against it. Yeah. Oh, you're 1347 01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:47.359 so happy to see six hundred million dollars going to 1348 01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:51.600 the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, and that's kind of what the 1349 01:12:51.680 --> 01:12:54.720 problem is locally. I don't trust any of our current 1350 01:12:54.720 --> 01:12:58.279 commissioners to negotiate with the Bengals. It's just going to 1351 01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:00.720 get out of control, you know, back in the days 1352 01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:03.199 when they negotiated the original and that's now in the 1353 01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:07.920 textbooks as the example of the worst public private ever. Well, 1354 01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:11.319 it's because both people negotiating were sitting on the same 1355 01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:12.000 side of the. 1356 01:13:11.960 --> 01:13:15.000 Table and we at least a week later, right, Yeah, anyhow, 1357 01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:17.479 let's pause. We bring George Runner from Restore Liberty dot 1358 01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:19.840 Us back to talk about some more issues. After I 1359 01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:25.880 mentioned seven fifty five KRCD talk station check it all out, 1360 01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:29.479 Restore Liberty dot Us. George Renman's on the job, you know, 1361 01:13:29.520 --> 01:13:33.119 looking out for our money and government fraud ways abused 1362 01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:34.920 in action and things we can do about it. And 1363 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:38.800 of course show up at the event this weekend on Saturday, 1364 01:13:38.960 --> 01:13:41.760 that's Sunday, Sunday rather Palm Sunday. Was just getting ready 1365 01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:43.479 to say that's why I can't either. Mom's having a 1366 01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:48.239 radio for dinner, looking forward to that. Double Tree Suites, 1367 01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:52.600 Blue ash doors open at four thirty. Complimentary buffet dinner 1368 01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:56.000 five o'clock speakers at six, So nice opportunity to hear 1369 01:13:56.079 --> 01:13:57.439 all the folks that he already went through. 1370 01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:02.000 And yeah, and the reservations are are highly recommended. There's 1371 01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:06.279 only like twenty five seats left. Oh, so go to 1372 01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:09.680 restoreliberty dot us and just click on the reserve or 1373 01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:12.840 just go to restore liberty dot us slash reserve more 1374 01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:14.800 point important point. 1375 01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:18.600 So spaces are limited. I just want to get your reaction. 1376 01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:21.399 You probably saw the survey out that you know, like 1377 01:14:21.479 --> 01:14:26.640 fifty five percent of the Democrats left leaners at least 1378 01:14:27.720 --> 01:14:31.159 embrace on some level the concept of assassinating Donald Trump 1379 01:14:31.239 --> 01:14:34.159 and Elon Musk, and I just use that as sort 1380 01:14:34.199 --> 01:14:39.359 of a springboard for this. The tolerance for an advocacy 1381 01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:43.880 for violence coming from the left, it seems it's a 1382 01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:47.079 profound problem. And I've never experienced this kind of thing 1383 01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:49.319 in my lifetime. Although I guess I live through the 1384 01:14:50.960 --> 01:14:53.560 late sixties without being ware of the politically, I wasn't 1385 01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:55.520 old enough to understand what was going on. So it's 1386 01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:58.279 not a violence isn't a new phenomenon. But all of this, 1387 01:14:58.399 --> 01:15:02.039 you know, attacking people's car, you know, I mean these 1388 01:15:01.840 --> 01:15:06.039 the Tesla's were like the darling of the green folks, 1389 01:15:06.119 --> 01:15:12.399 the zero missions, unbelievably efficient and and amazing electronic wonders. 1390 01:15:12.439 --> 01:15:12.880 They are. 1391 01:15:13.119 --> 01:15:15.600 You own some hybrids, and I got a friend of 1392 01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:17.800 mine who owns one of those Tesla plaids. 1393 01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:19.920 It's a rocket ship. It is a racket. 1394 01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:23.119 Loves it so good, make the choice and buy one. 1395 01:15:23.159 --> 01:15:25.680 But now that he's got that, which he bought way 1396 01:15:25.680 --> 01:15:28.159 in advance of Elon Musk and doge in his affiliation 1397 01:15:28.199 --> 01:15:31.000 with the Trump administration, what it's a legitimate target. 1398 01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:35.239 Now, I don't understand it. It's like they're they're allowed 1399 01:15:35.279 --> 01:15:39.279 to become unglued over the fact that this guy is 1400 01:15:39.359 --> 01:15:44.960 getting rid of waste. I it's it's it's a mental illness. 1401 01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:46.560 That's the only way to think about it. If you 1402 01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:48.239 think of it as some kind of they're making a 1403 01:15:48.319 --> 01:15:51.319 conscious decision to do it. Why wouldn't anybody get so 1404 01:15:51.479 --> 01:15:54.920 violent over our vehicle that, like you say, I mean, 1405 01:15:55.079 --> 01:15:57.920 the reasoning he's the largest car company in the world 1406 01:15:57.960 --> 01:16:02.239 now is because he makes the best version of that product. 1407 01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:05.760 Right in my engineering world, my last gig was actually 1408 01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:09.479 modeling every electric car made in the world, and nobody 1409 01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:11.800 can touch the efficiency of a Tesla the guy is 1410 01:16:11.880 --> 01:16:15.479 just so far out there, and you watch what his 1411 01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:19.359 team is doing. He's brought in these whiz kids and 1412 01:16:19.439 --> 01:16:21.680 the nerds have just been let loose, and they're finding 1413 01:16:21.760 --> 01:16:26.399 all these you know, just crazy connections and lack of connections, 1414 01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:29.039 all of this you know, fraud, waste and abuse. And 1415 01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:33.079 suddenly he is ground zero four. He's a Nazis. He's 1416 01:16:33.119 --> 01:16:36.840 stealing your money. It's like, I don't understand it. And 1417 01:16:37.079 --> 01:16:41.680 my main concern is, you know, especially Schumer, they're going 1418 01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:45.279 out there lying about everything. Hey, he's lying, you know, 1419 01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:47.680 I mean literally lying. 1420 01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:50.239 He's telling him that Elon Musk wants to take away 1421 01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:52.439 your your Medicare and Social Security and Medicaid. 1422 01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:57.920 That's an outright lie. It's specifically not being touched. And 1423 01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:00.680 so if the only thing that's being touched is saving 1424 01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:04.439 money for people who are qualified to receive benefits under 1425 01:17:04.479 --> 01:17:06.399 these programs, because they're getting rid of people who are 1426 01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:09.119 ripping them off, so now they can afford to actually 1427 01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:11.880 give the check for Social Security and medicare a little 1428 01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:15.560 bit crazy, anticipated yeah, but what happens when even the 1429 01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:18.600 lies aren't working Because they aren't people are seeing what's 1430 01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:20.680 going on and saying, wait, a minute, he's talking about 1431 01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:23.279 social security. I haven't heard a word about that. He's 1432 01:17:23.279 --> 01:17:25.479 got to be lying. So if the lies don't work, 1433 01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:28.079 are they really going to keep going down this route 1434 01:17:28.119 --> 01:17:31.159 of we need to kill Trump, we need to kill Musk, 1435 01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:34.359 we need to go after and attack his business so 1436 01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:38.800 he's bankrupt. I think that's a horrible path. And if 1437 01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:41.279 you think back to the summer of twenty twenty and 1438 01:17:41.319 --> 01:17:45.359 all of the violence that happened then compared to January sixth, 1439 01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:49.319 which is always the you know what about that? January 1440 01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:52.640 six was a was a show. I mean, they had 1441 01:17:52.680 --> 01:17:55.359 so many plants in there that this was just a show. 1442 01:17:55.439 --> 01:17:59.000 And even beyond that conspiracy component of it, you know 1443 01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:02.920 that it was coordinated, egged on by and leftists or 1444 01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:05.279 the FBI or whoever, evil forces that want to make 1445 01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:08.640 the Republicans look bad, and it worked. I we were 1446 01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:10.520 screaming at the time. I've said it many times. I'm 1447 01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:12.560 watching it all on FULLD on my laptop, screaming that 1448 01:18:12.640 --> 01:18:16.239 I'm going no. But that's your reaction, that's the whole point. 1449 01:18:16.319 --> 01:18:19.640 Republicans looked at that and said that's wrong. Democrats look 1450 01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:21.920 at what happened in twenty twenty and what's happening now 1451 01:18:21.960 --> 01:18:24.479 with the cars that are saying no, that's that's an 1452 01:18:24.560 --> 01:18:27.800 actual reaction to the current problem. We should be destroying 1453 01:18:27.880 --> 01:18:32.680 Tesla's right. And you also notice that January sixth was 1454 01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:36.399 one day, one day and a couple hours. Actually this 1455 01:18:36.439 --> 01:18:39.880 is an ongoing day after day phenomenon. The rallies over 1456 01:18:39.920 --> 01:18:44.119 the weekend, the attack of Tesla showrooms, the organized protest 1457 01:18:44.239 --> 01:18:48.039 against Elon musk and and the Trump administration. People spray 1458 01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:52.159 painting private property. These Tesla vehicles that were once great 1459 01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:54.479 and now are somehow Nazi mobiles. 1460 01:18:54.720 --> 01:18:57.279 It's absolutely in mostly by Democrats. 1461 01:18:57.479 --> 01:18:59.520 You got one more segment with George Brenneman before we 1462 01:18:59.520 --> 01:19:04.199 get to Congressman Warren Davidson.

Yeah, we had 1486 01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:18.800 a lot of people ask about the books you recommend, 1487 01:20:18.840 --> 01:20:20.560 and there is a link. There is a link on 1488 01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:22.359 the web page and we're going to have all of 1489 01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:24.640 those books on at least the sheets for all of 1490 01:20:24.680 --> 01:20:26.920 them on display so you can read through it.

But yeah, every sore. Well this 1494 01:20:34.239 --> 01:20:36.159 has been going great. We're going to try and you know, 1495 01:20:36.279 --> 01:20:39.239 get that rolling out as well to throughout the area. 1496 01:20:39.359 --> 01:20:41.279 But I just wanted to make sure people were where 1497 01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:45.319 it's still going on. It's it's gaining strength. Yeah. Well, 1498 01:20:45.439 --> 01:20:48.039 and so I got to ask, how's it going with 1499 01:20:48.119 --> 01:20:50.760 the working out while you're watching television? Well, thanks you 1500 01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:52.199 for kicking me in the butt. 1501 01:20:52.319 --> 01:20:54.279 And I had other people who have over the years 1502 01:20:54.319 --> 01:20:57.079 suggested it's making similar that I got a little heat 1503 01:20:57.119 --> 01:20:59.279 from them, like, well, I told you about the I 1504 01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:01.640 got the same. But you know it all it all 1505 01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:03.319 came down to, you know, the sort of the cancer 1506 01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:07.960 diagnosis and my wife and my family suggesting that I 1507 01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:10.319 had put on a few too many pounds over the 1508 01:21:10.319 --> 01:21:13.239 past couple of years. And so the stars all align 1509 01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:15.039 to the point where when you guys were in studio 1510 01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:18.119 talking about you know, these health benefits, all I do 1511 01:21:18.239 --> 01:21:20.319 is sit and watch Netflix after the show. So I 1512 01:21:20.479 --> 01:21:22.119 want to because I want to clear my mind of 1513 01:21:22.199 --> 01:21:25.279 the colossal craft that we deal with every day. So 1514 01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:27.319 I did get a set of adjustable weights, and so 1515 01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:30.119 now I pull them out and I do reps and 1516 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:32.199 I feel there, and I'll wait a half hour and 1517 01:21:32.239 --> 01:21:36.239 I'll do another set, and so you know, I'm obviously 1518 01:21:36.279 --> 01:21:39.159 not ripped, and you can see through my sweater here, 1519 01:21:39.199 --> 01:21:42.239 but it's I'm doing something well and every the whole 1520 01:21:42.279 --> 01:21:44.319 point of all that it helps, Every little bit helps, 1521 01:21:44.560 --> 01:21:47.159 and it's amazing how little steps make a difference. So, 1522 01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:49.680 you know, get rid of the high frucos corn serrup 1523 01:21:49.760 --> 01:21:51.840 that's been done for a month now, and that's that's 1524 01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:53.159 why how I lost weight. 1525 01:21:53.560 --> 01:21:56.119 And then the others, you know, we'll all get rid 1526 01:21:56.159 --> 01:21:58.399 of all of the processed stuff and then and if 1527 01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:00.359 you really want to take the big step, try and 1528 01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:03.520 get rid of the carbs, because it's just evil stuff. 1529 01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:06.680 There are more and more studies coming out talking about 1530 01:22:06.760 --> 01:22:09.760 the benefits of that. I think it's really starting to 1531 01:22:09.800 --> 01:22:10.199 catch on. 1532 01:22:10.439 --> 01:22:13.119 It is, and that's why you know, I keep expressing 1533 01:22:13.199 --> 01:22:16.359 some measure of excitement for at least RFK Junior, with 1534 01:22:16.439 --> 01:22:19.199 his name recognition and the fact that he you know, 1535 01:22:19.239 --> 01:22:22.600 he's just pretty much long time left, this guy who 1536 01:22:22.680 --> 01:22:25.000 I taught alone a lot. I'm glad he's part of 1537 01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:29.079 the Trump administration in this particular role. You know, he 1538 01:22:29.079 --> 01:22:31.920 doesn't have any control over environmental policy, has control over 1539 01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:34.319 information about our health, getting the message out about help. 1540 01:22:34.399 --> 01:22:36.520 Looking for two things from him. Get the floor ad 1541 01:22:36.600 --> 01:22:38.680 out of the water. Yeah, working on that, and get 1542 01:22:38.680 --> 01:22:40.239 the soft drinks out of snap. 1543 01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:42.720 They're working on that too, and there's been some progress 1544 01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:44.239 in some of the states going down this road. 1545 01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:47.000 I don't have any idea why we Paicola's going nuts 1546 01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:49.279 because they paid a fortune to get it put into 1547 01:22:49.319 --> 01:22:52.239 the program in the first place. Oh how about that 1548 01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:57.840 surprise money connections, money talks and health walks. That's apparently 1549 01:22:57.880 --> 01:23:01.720 the case. Yeah, it's it's just crazy. But hey, last plug. 1550 01:23:01.760 --> 01:23:05.039 Go to restore Liberty dot us. Click on the link, 1551 01:23:05.079 --> 01:23:07.640 make sure you register. We're looking to pack the house. 1552 01:23:08.279 --> 01:23:10.920 And a big shout out to Americans for Prosperity for 1553 01:23:11.680 --> 01:23:14.399 co sponsoring the event and helping us with all the costs. 1554 01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:17.319 George Breunhman, thanks for coming in studio, good luck with 1555 01:23:17.319 --> 01:23:21.039 the event, and again thanks to AFP folks. Congressman Warren 1556 01:23:21.119 --> 01:23:23.159 Davids is online. He's ready to talk. We'll bring him 1557 01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:26.600 on right after these brief words starting fifty five KCD 1558 01:23:26.680 --> 01:23:30.479 Talk Station, A very happy Thursday to you, always a 1559 01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:32.920 good day. When Congressman Warren Davidson returns to the fifty 1560 01:23:32.920 --> 01:23:35.920 five KRC Morning Show, Congressman Davidson, welcome back. It's a 1561 01:23:35.920 --> 01:23:37.680 pleasure to have you on, as it always is. 1562 01:23:39.079 --> 01:23:39.279 Ran. 1563 01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:41.239 It's always an honor. Thanks, good to talk to you. 1564 01:23:41.359 --> 01:23:43.319 And first off, I got to give you a little 1565 01:23:43.319 --> 01:23:46.439 bit of earfull through George Brunneman, who didn't stick around 1566 01:23:46.479 --> 01:23:48.199 to the studio to give it to himself that he 1567 01:23:48.439 --> 01:23:50.359 was hoping that you could do a video for the 1568 01:23:50.359 --> 01:23:53.880 Restore Liberty Fiscal Sanity rally on Sunday. So there you 1569 01:23:53.920 --> 01:23:56.039 make your own decisions. I told him I would pass 1570 01:23:56.079 --> 01:23:57.640 it along and put you on the spot. 1571 01:23:59.159 --> 01:24:01.439 They've got a little I will find a way that 1572 01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:02.720 sounds like a great thing to do. 1573 01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:03.239 A video for. 1574 01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:05.520 Yeah, there's going to be a lot of them, including 1575 01:24:05.680 --> 01:24:10.119 I believe, I guess vivek Ramaswami is going to be 1576 01:24:10.119 --> 01:24:12.680 providing one and Bernie Moreno as well. So you're in 1577 01:24:12.760 --> 01:24:16.199 good company there and that's a great organization Restored Liberty 1578 01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:18.079 dot Us. All right, I've taken you off the spot 1579 01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:20.239 and putting you back in your role as an elected 1580 01:24:20.279 --> 01:24:22.800 official in Congress. I don't know which which direction you 1581 01:24:22.800 --> 01:24:26.079 would have starts you perhaps just gauging your reaction on 1582 01:24:26.399 --> 01:24:30.039 the whole tariff situation. I guess everybody got all their 1583 01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:32.319 money back. Yesterday when Donald Trump said he was sitting 1584 01:24:32.319 --> 01:24:35.560 down with what seventy five countries expressed the desire to 1585 01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:39.760 negotiate and work out something, including Canada, that sounded like, 1586 01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:41.640 you know, they wanted to push down for maybe open 1587 01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:44.119 free trade, open trade, and maybe just get rid of 1588 01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:46.920 tariff's all together, but at least sitting down at the 1589 01:24:46.960 --> 01:24:50.319 table and talking about it resulted in this ninety day pause, 1590 01:24:50.439 --> 01:24:54.079 which the markets exhaled and went through the roof. Your 1591 01:24:54.119 --> 01:24:55.520 reaction to all this going. 1592 01:24:55.359 --> 01:24:58.560 On, I love it when a plan comes together. You know, 1593 01:24:58.600 --> 01:25:00.800 people are like, oh, Trump folded, No, this was a 1594 01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:04.479 total bait the whole time, and it took this. I 1595 01:25:04.479 --> 01:25:05.960 mean the crazy thing is people are like, well, why 1596 01:25:05.960 --> 01:25:08.640 didn't he just get everybody to work together before? Well, 1597 01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:11.800 he tried his whole first term, and he told people 1598 01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:14.960 as he was meeting with them. Since June of twenty 1599 01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:16.880 twenty three, he put out a video in June of 1600 01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:19.159 twenty twenty three, saying exactly what he was going to 1601 01:25:19.199 --> 01:25:22.439 do on his campaign website, and then he got an 1602 01:25:22.479 --> 01:25:24.920 office and people acted surprise that he did it. It's 1603 01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:27.560 like why would you. I mean, he says he's going 1604 01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:31.880 to do things, he does them in his campaign promises, 1605 01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:33.880 and this is one of them. And the big thing 1606 01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:36.359 that people didn't get about, why are you putting tariffs 1607 01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:39.479 on our allies? Well, one, they're not treating as fairly, 1608 01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:42.079 that's true, but the biggest thing is they refused to 1609 01:25:42.119 --> 01:25:45.600 help with China. So what happened is China misplayed this badly, 1610 01:25:46.239 --> 01:25:49.000 and now we've built a coalition. We've set up the 1611 01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:52.720 opportunity to get the allies, our supposed allies, and the 1612 01:25:52.760 --> 01:25:55.600 people that came forward and said, well help. Part of 1613 01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:59.199 helping isn't just fixing your trade relationship with us, it's 1614 01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:02.880 fixing our collective trade relationship with China. China's been taking 1615 01:26:02.920 --> 01:26:06.880 advantage of everyone, stealing our intellectual property, blocking market access, 1616 01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:08.840 and part of why China has no leverage they don't 1617 01:26:08.880 --> 01:26:11.279 allow us access to their market. So, okay, put your 1618 01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:13.079 tiarfs at whatever you want, but it's not going to 1619 01:26:13.159 --> 01:26:15.319 hurt us as much as our tears are hurting you. 1620 01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:18.039 And that's what you're seeing turmoil in the bond market 1621 01:26:18.119 --> 01:26:21.640 because China needs to keep selling off things to create 1622 01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:25.279 liquidity to hold their currency pegged low. It's their currency 1623 01:26:25.319 --> 01:26:28.920 manipulation practice. So this is a well crafted play. It's 1624 01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:31.239 a big part of why Scott Bessant became the Secretary 1625 01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:31.720 of Treasury. 1626 01:26:32.039 --> 01:26:33.840 Yeah, and I was just going to bring Scott beston 1627 01:26:33.920 --> 01:26:36.760 up because yesterday he said, in response to that eighty 1628 01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:39.760 four percent additional tariff, China added because they're going the 1629 01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:43.800 opposite direction, rather than negotiate something with us, they hyped 1630 01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:45.720 on a much bigger tariff. So what we're a one 1631 01:26:45.880 --> 01:26:47.800 twenty five and they're kind of close to that at 1632 01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:51.600 this point. But he said they may delist Chinese stock 1633 01:26:51.640 --> 01:26:52.960 from American exchanges. 1634 01:26:53.000 --> 01:26:54.760 That would happen. That would be a it would herd, 1635 01:26:54.840 --> 01:26:55.479 that would sting. 1636 01:26:56.600 --> 01:26:58.560 Yeah, We've got a lot of tools that we could 1637 01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:01.000 use to go through China. I mean right now, that's 1638 01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:03.399 one of the things. And you know, honestly, China gets 1639 01:27:03.680 --> 01:27:06.359 special treatment to even be listed. Normally, you have to 1640 01:27:06.399 --> 01:27:09.920 be fully audited by a firm recognized by you know, 1641 01:27:09.960 --> 01:27:13.399 the New York Stock Exchange for example, Masdak whatever, you 1642 01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:18.000 have credible audits. But China's stocks are essentially tracking stocks 1643 01:27:18.039 --> 01:27:21.319 because they're not going through the same level of scrutiny, 1644 01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:24.359 And so you could easily just hold the Chinese companies 1645 01:27:24.359 --> 01:27:27.000 to the same standard as everyone else, and while they 1646 01:27:27.000 --> 01:27:31.560 would be delisted. We've got nearly three hundred thousand students 1647 01:27:31.600 --> 01:27:34.600 in the United States from China. America has about thirty 1648 01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:37.720 thousand students in China. So we go ahead and say, well, 1649 01:27:37.760 --> 01:27:40.920 you know, you can't study here. And honestly, China expects 1650 01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:43.600 their students to spy on Americans in order to be 1651 01:27:44.399 --> 01:27:47.720 eligible for the student visa. So you know, there are 1652 01:27:47.760 --> 01:27:50.319 all kinds of tools that we could use here. And look, 1653 01:27:50.399 --> 01:27:54.079 I think honestly, Donald Trump, Scott Besant, myself, and most 1654 01:27:54.159 --> 01:27:56.600 of my colleagues, we would love to have a friendly 1655 01:27:56.640 --> 01:28:00.159 relationship with the people of China. Chisha Ping, that's he's 1656 01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:01.960 not that kind of guy. He's not the same guy 1657 01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:04.960 that Doung Chaoping was. And that's the kind of deal 1658 01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:07.359 that happened. It opened up China is you had kind 1659 01:28:07.359 --> 01:28:11.119 of this mindset that we can engage and bring China 1660 01:28:11.239 --> 01:28:13.439 into the fold. Now they may have been in dishonest 1661 01:28:13.479 --> 01:28:17.279 the entire time. But culturally, the phenomenon in China is 1662 01:28:17.359 --> 01:28:21.159 just radically different under Chijuping than it was under Hu Jentao. 1663 01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:24.399 And you know, if you follow anything much about China, 1664 01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:27.319 who Jintao was the guy that Chijiping purp walked out 1665 01:28:27.359 --> 01:28:29.600 of their People's Congress at the last time. He was 1666 01:28:29.640 --> 01:28:34.239 the former president, former leader, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, 1667 01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:38.119 and just a very different kind of approach to foreign engagement. 1668 01:28:38.159 --> 01:28:41.039 And Chijiping is essentially like Mao mal Or. 1669 01:28:41.039 --> 01:28:43.159 I was going to say Stalin, but yeah, very so, 1670 01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:47.000 very reminiscent of the Soviet Union. If you disagree with 1671 01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:50.439 or represent some sort of threat to the leader, then 1672 01:28:50.600 --> 01:28:53.199 you tend to disappear and are it used to be 1673 01:28:53.239 --> 01:28:56.600 they eradicated you from photographs. Even I thought that using 1674 01:28:56.600 --> 01:29:01.199 old technology they could erase people's existence. Kind of very Orwellian. 1675 01:29:01.319 --> 01:29:04.359 Oh that maybe that's why he wrote nineteen eighty four. Anyway, 1676 01:29:04.399 --> 01:29:07.319 turning over to the Senate budget resolution, which I saw, 1677 01:29:07.359 --> 01:29:11.000 Speaker Johnson canceled a vote yesterday evening on the Senate 1678 01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:13.920 budget proposal. Apparently there's some good holdouts in Congress that 1679 01:29:14.039 --> 01:29:18.399 want to, you know, get more promises of cuts. And 1680 01:29:18.439 --> 01:29:21.720 my understanding is the Senate proposal only cuts four billion 1681 01:29:21.720 --> 01:29:23.840 over ten years, which is like how much we spill 1682 01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:26.319 on a daily basis, and House Republicans were looking for 1683 01:29:26.359 --> 01:29:28.920 more like two trillion in cuts. Where are we on this? 1684 01:29:28.960 --> 01:29:33.079 Congressman Davidson, Well, I couldn't support the Senate version, and 1685 01:29:33.119 --> 01:29:36.359 honestly so, I was in negotiations with the Speaker, you know, 1686 01:29:37.039 --> 01:29:40.560 really all week, but we basically closed the doors and 1687 01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:45.119 sat there from like six pm until eleven last night 1688 01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:48.159 trying to negotiate some sort of way around this. The 1689 01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:51.680 Senate doesn't really want to be bound to the House's number, 1690 01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:54.079 and look, bad news doesn't get better with time. I mean, 1691 01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:56.680 if they say, oh, we can find the votes, well, 1692 01:29:56.680 --> 01:29:58.760 don't find the votes three months from now. Find the 1693 01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:01.920 votes now. And you know, they're having a hard time 1694 01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:04.520 getting people in the Senate to commit to promising to 1695 01:30:04.560 --> 01:30:07.600 save money, let alone on final passage. When all the 1696 01:30:07.640 --> 01:30:10.479 deals put together, then there'll be a lot of pressure 1697 01:30:10.640 --> 01:30:12.840 to get it done because the tax cuts will have 1698 01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:17.000 been negotiated, the spending cuts will have been negotiated, the 1699 01:30:17.079 --> 01:30:19.960 debt ceiling limit will have been agreed to. And here's 1700 01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:23.479 the thing the House said, look in exchange for one 1701 01:30:23.479 --> 01:30:27.039 and a half trillion as a floor, we will raise 1702 01:30:27.079 --> 01:30:30.239 the debt limit by four trillion dollars. Now, when are 1703 01:30:30.279 --> 01:30:32.479 you going to normally make a loan? For the loan 1704 01:30:32.520 --> 01:30:34.800 officers out there listening, when are you going to make 1705 01:30:34.840 --> 01:30:38.079 a loan of four trillion dollars when somebody promises to 1706 01:30:38.119 --> 01:30:40.279 only find a way to come up with one and 1707 01:30:40.319 --> 01:30:42.920 a half trillion, and you know darn well that they 1708 01:30:42.960 --> 01:30:45.640 actually over a ten year period don't need four trillion, 1709 01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:49.439 they need eighteen trillion, right, who's going to make that loan? Well, 1710 01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:52.520 that's what basically Congress is doing with either of these bills. 1711 01:30:52.520 --> 01:30:54.960 So even the House bill isn't very good. But instead 1712 01:30:54.960 --> 01:30:58.199 at one and a half trillion dollar floor, the Senate 1713 01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:00.560 bill said, we'll see your four trillion, we'll raise it. 1714 01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:03.640 We want five trillion, and we're only going to commit 1715 01:31:03.680 --> 01:31:06.119 to four billion in savings, which is like a day 1716 01:31:06.159 --> 01:31:11.720 of interest payments exactly. That's insane. That's insane, and you 1717 01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:15.520 know there's there's no Now. They promised privately in the Senate. 1718 01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:17.920 Part of how they got some of these good senators 1719 01:31:17.920 --> 01:31:20.560 to go along with it. They promised privately, Well, we're 1720 01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:22.600 really going to come up with two to three trillion, 1721 01:31:23.520 --> 01:31:26.880 put it on paper exactly press conference, in publicans say 1722 01:31:26.920 --> 01:31:29.560 it at least, but they're all, well, with the quiet 1723 01:31:29.560 --> 01:31:32.520 whispers behind the closed doors, you know, we really think 1724 01:31:32.560 --> 01:31:34.720 we can come up now we're done with the hollow 1725 01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:35.640 promises stuff. 1726 01:31:36.279 --> 01:31:36.399 Uh. 1727 01:31:36.760 --> 01:31:39.359 That's that's basically how you we got into this mess, 1728 01:31:39.439 --> 01:31:41.960 not because Conservatives held up things. We got in this 1729 01:31:42.039 --> 01:31:45.720 mess because of bipartisan bankrupt America policies have got us 1730 01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:46.800 thirty six train in debt. 1731 01:31:47.000 --> 01:31:49.520 And I'm glad you said bipartisan banker of American policies 1732 01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:52.039 because let's face it, the Republicans own the Senate, and 1733 01:31:52.319 --> 01:31:54.640 maybe not by much, but they still do. They control it. 1734 01:31:54.680 --> 01:31:56.159 They have the majority of votes saying with the House, 1735 01:31:56.520 --> 01:31:59.920 Uh this this, it's as if they're they're they're passing 1736 01:32:00.079 --> 01:32:03.479 up a golden opportunity with all of the spotlight that's 1737 01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:06.279 being shed by the Department of Governmental Efficiency on all 1738 01:32:06.359 --> 01:32:08.920 of the fraud wasted abuse in government. These are hard 1739 01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:12.760 earned taxpayer dollars taken from our wallets because we labored 1740 01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:14.880 for it, and they don't seem to care a whit 1741 01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:18.399 about where the money goes. That message has been projected 1742 01:32:18.439 --> 01:32:19.880 loud and creative the American public. 1743 01:32:19.960 --> 01:32:20.439 We get it. 1744 01:32:20.479 --> 01:32:22.920 We understand that more people are outraged by thanks to 1745 01:32:22.960 --> 01:32:23.680 the work of Doge. 1746 01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:27.239 This seems like the best possible time in this in 1747 01:32:27.279 --> 01:32:29.239 the history or at least as long as I've been living, 1748 01:32:29.560 --> 01:32:33.439 to make a make an argument for genuine cuts to 1749 01:32:33.640 --> 01:32:34.560 government spending. 1750 01:32:35.880 --> 01:32:38.640 Yeah, I've never seen more momentum in the public and 1751 01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:42.439 the popular consciousness behind less government. And you just got 1752 01:32:42.479 --> 01:32:44.520 to be honest. If you find somebody right now that 1753 01:32:44.640 --> 01:32:46.760 is not going to say they'll vote for less government 1754 01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:50.039 in light of the environment we're in right now, they 1755 01:32:50.039 --> 01:32:51.600 don't want less government. 1756 01:32:52.199 --> 01:32:52.479 You know. 1757 01:32:52.720 --> 01:32:56.000 I mean there's people that could get boxed into less 1758 01:32:56.000 --> 01:32:58.000 government because they know that's what the momentum with the 1759 01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:00.439 public is. The idea that we're going to move this 1760 01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:03.560 and not actually deliver less government, to me is insane. 1761 01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:05.479 And look, the President's sent out, Look, we're going to 1762 01:33:05.520 --> 01:33:07.560 get at least a trillion dollars in cuts and all that, 1763 01:33:07.640 --> 01:33:11.039 and that's important. But the lack of trust isn't what 1764 01:33:11.119 --> 01:33:13.159 Donald Trump. It's not what the team he's hired. Those 1765 01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:15.800 guys are great. It's with the Senate the Senate always 1766 01:33:15.840 --> 01:33:18.520 fails us, and you look at it like where's the pressure. 1767 01:33:18.520 --> 01:33:21.079 There's always like pressure on House conservatives, and you know 1768 01:33:21.159 --> 01:33:23.239 the reason we can't have nice things is conservatives in 1769 01:33:23.239 --> 01:33:26.119 the House. Right when was their pressure on the Senate? 1770 01:33:26.239 --> 01:33:28.680 I mean, there's not even a cross word to a senator. 1771 01:33:29.840 --> 01:33:31.479 When was their pressure on the Senate when they were 1772 01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:35.439 negotiating this crap deal of four billion dollars in savings 1773 01:33:35.479 --> 01:33:37.560 that's crazy. As they were doing that, where was the 1774 01:33:37.600 --> 01:33:40.680 pressure being applied to the Senate? So right now, I 1775 01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:42.800 think that's the thing that's like, You've got a couple 1776 01:33:42.880 --> 01:33:44.840 dozen of us that are just like, look, I can't 1777 01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:48.119 vote for this thing without something further. And then you know, 1778 01:33:48.159 --> 01:33:50.239 there's there's jet fumes out here and everybody wants to 1779 01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:52.640 get out of town for Easter break and Passover and 1780 01:33:52.680 --> 01:33:56.039 all that. You know, maybe that'll make everybody come come 1781 01:33:56.079 --> 01:33:59.479 together and do a reasonable deal. But I think those 1782 01:33:59.520 --> 01:34:02.319 of us that are dug in on we're bankrupting America 1783 01:34:02.399 --> 01:34:06.119 and I'm not going to participate in it, are in 1784 01:34:06.159 --> 01:34:08.399 for the fight. And it's like, look, we don't want 1785 01:34:08.399 --> 01:34:11.000 to be obstructionist in the sense of you know, getting 1786 01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:13.319 the agenda done, but we do want to be obstructuralist. 1787 01:34:13.399 --> 01:34:17.159 If you're planning on driving to the crash site colassing 1788 01:34:17.239 --> 01:34:19.560 us in a dip bomb, we don't want to participate 1789 01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:19.840 in that. 1790 01:34:20.600 --> 01:34:24.920 Yeah, history will remember who fought for the fiscal responsibility 1791 01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:28.479 and who and who let us well down this existential threat, 1792 01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:31.359 which is the you know, essentially thirty six trillion and 1793 01:34:31.399 --> 01:34:34.960 growing every moment. While we speak deficit we have, It's 1794 01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:38.479 just it's it's crazy. I mean, no one can project 1795 01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:43.159 down the road how this can work out successfully, and 1796 01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:44.880 that is a reality. 1797 01:34:44.439 --> 01:34:45.640 No one can hide from. 1798 01:34:46.079 --> 01:34:48.760 So you know, we're gonna we're going to spend ourselves 1799 01:34:48.800 --> 01:34:51.279 into oblivion and we're going to collapse the Fiat currency, 1800 01:34:51.319 --> 01:34:53.399 which will basically mean the end of the American economy. 1801 01:34:53.479 --> 01:34:55.760 Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I. 1802 01:34:55.680 --> 01:34:59.119 Mean, and look when the when when the US US dollar, 1803 01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:03.560 when the usonomy has the time borrowing funding treasuries, that's 1804 01:35:03.600 --> 01:35:05.560 not like you know when Gerise had a hard time 1805 01:35:05.600 --> 01:35:08.000 borrowing and or whatever. We are the market. I mean, 1806 01:35:08.039 --> 01:35:10.399 people go to the dollar for the hedge, They buy 1807 01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:14.960 US treasuries for security instability. I mean, we not only 1808 01:35:14.960 --> 01:35:17.199 have about five percent of the world's population four and 1809 01:35:17.239 --> 01:35:19.920 a half or so. We got over fifty percent of 1810 01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:23.279 the world's capital invested in our markets. Yeah, I mean 1811 01:35:23.319 --> 01:35:28.520 so truly. Like the idea that the United States could 1812 01:35:28.680 --> 01:35:32.960 have problems with our economy in the world economy be 1813 01:35:33.039 --> 01:35:36.239 okay is crazy. I mean it is, and that's kept 1814 01:35:36.319 --> 01:35:39.000 us propped up for a long time things that everybody 1815 01:35:39.039 --> 01:35:43.159 knows isn't sustainable, and that's led people to falsely believe that, well, 1816 01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:45.880 we can keep doing this. We can just print money. 1817 01:35:46.119 --> 01:35:47.960 You know, we have the reserve currency. We can just 1818 01:35:48.439 --> 01:35:51.239 spend more money and defits don't matter, and think, well, 1819 01:35:51.199 --> 01:35:53.760 a def sit don't matter, why bother collecting taxes? I mean, 1820 01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:55.760 I used to be part of the reason why why 1821 01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:57.680 people said, well, we want to hold the taxes low 1822 01:35:57.720 --> 01:35:59.960 because they'll hold down the size and scope of government. 1823 01:36:00.439 --> 01:36:02.800 But they've blown way past that. There's not even a 1824 01:36:03.079 --> 01:36:05.399 talk about balancing the budget at this point. 1825 01:36:05.560 --> 01:36:07.800 Congress and Warren Davidson wish we had more time. We 1826 01:36:07.840 --> 01:36:08.199 are out. 1827 01:36:08.239 --> 01:36:10.439 I appreciate your willingness to talk with my listeners of 1828 01:36:10.479 --> 01:36:11.880 me this morning, and I'll look forward to having a 1829 01:36:11.920 --> 01:36:14.520 conversation again. Meanwhile, keep fighting a good fight. We got 1830 01:36:14.520 --> 01:36:17.520 a golden opportunity right here now YouTube. 1831 01:36:17.520 --> 01:36:18.920 Brian, God bless you and all your listeners. 1832 01:36:19.079 --> 01:36:20.920 Take care seven fifty three fifty five CARES to DE 1833 01:36:21.039 --> 01:36:24.720 Talk Station.

Been looking forward to this conversation all morning. 1836 01:36:29.479 --> 01:36:31.840 My next guest Brian Reisinger. He grew up on a 1837 01:36:31.840 --> 01:36:35.239 family farm in Sault County, Wisconsin and loves to talk 1838 01:36:35.239 --> 01:36:37.840 about the hidden stories of rural America. Like most children 1839 01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:40.119 of farmers, he worked with his father from the time 1840 01:36:40.159 --> 01:36:42.439 you could walk before he ultimately entered the world of 1841 01:36:42.439 --> 01:36:45.279 business and business journalism and public policy. He has been 1842 01:36:45.319 --> 01:36:48.119 published in like every single publication you can think of, 1843 01:36:48.239 --> 01:36:54.439 USA Today, Newsweek, Yahoo News, Wisconsin Public Radios, Wisconsin Life. 1844 01:36:54.439 --> 01:36:56.439 I could go on Real Clear Politics and go to 1845 01:36:56.479 --> 01:36:59.159 that site all the time. He also is an award 1846 01:36:59.199 --> 01:37:02.960 winner Nationalist newspaper Calmness, first place in Seven Hills Literary 1847 01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:06.399 Contrast Contest, and the Saul Sword And I could go on, 1848 01:37:06.520 --> 01:37:09.279 but today we're going to talk about his very first book, 1849 01:37:09.560 --> 01:37:13.479 Land Rich, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and the Untold 1850 01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:16.800 History of the Disappearing American Farmer. Brian, Welcome to the 1851 01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:18.800 Morning Show. It's a real pleasure to have you on today. 1852 01:37:19.880 --> 01:37:21.319 Hey, good morning, it's good to be with you. 1853 01:37:21.560 --> 01:37:24.239 I feel like I have some least connection with you. 1854 01:37:24.359 --> 01:37:24.800 I am. 1855 01:37:25.119 --> 01:37:27.520 I outkicked my coverage when I married my wife. She 1856 01:37:27.560 --> 01:37:32.039 grew up on a rural dairy farm out in Pennsylvania, 1857 01:37:32.039 --> 01:37:34.000 a little town no one's ever heard of called Avella. 1858 01:37:34.079 --> 01:37:37.960 Her dad literally worked his entire life every single day. 1859 01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:40.199 If you don't milk the cows twice a day, you 1860 01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:42.760 don't get paid. So it was a small farm, a 1861 01:37:42.800 --> 01:37:45.159 house he built himself. They all grew up, they all 1862 01:37:45.159 --> 01:37:48.640 worked the farm, never had really much money at all, 1863 01:37:48.720 --> 01:37:53.760 but it was just it's just it's an amazing life. 1864 01:37:54.199 --> 01:37:56.359 When you hear the stories and the hardships that go 1865 01:37:56.439 --> 01:37:58.720 along with it. It's not an easy life at all. 1866 01:37:58.800 --> 01:38:00.920 Something I know that I'm telling you that you know about, 1867 01:38:01.560 --> 01:38:05.199 and so quite often you know multiple generations. 1868 01:38:05.239 --> 01:38:06.760 You know, kids want to move away, they want to 1869 01:38:06.800 --> 01:38:08.119 go to the city. They don't want to follow in 1870 01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:12.399 their fathers or mother's footsteps. And I suppose that's part 1871 01:38:12.520 --> 01:38:15.600 of this disappearing American farmer concept. 1872 01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:17.000 But it's beyond that, isn't it. 1873 01:38:17.039 --> 01:38:20.479 Because it's expensive to be a small farmer these days. 1874 01:38:21.720 --> 01:38:24.279 You're absolutely right. I'm so glad we share that history. 1875 01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:26.880 And it sounds like your wife's probably a hard working 1876 01:38:26.920 --> 01:38:29.439 person in all values and had a great child. And 1877 01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:32.520 you know, you're absolutely right in terms of the way you 1878 01:38:32.560 --> 01:38:35.479 describe the way of life. And here's the issue. It 1879 01:38:35.600 --> 01:38:38.399 goes so deep. It does have to do with what's 1880 01:38:38.439 --> 01:38:40.000 our next generation doing, but it has to do with 1881 01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:44.840 economic factors, governmental factors, technological factors, all kinds of ways 1882 01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:46.760 that we've been leaving our family farmers behind. That's what 1883 01:38:46.760 --> 01:38:48.960 we do in the book. We dive into the hidden 1884 01:38:48.960 --> 01:38:50.960 airs of history that are driving that disappearance. Why is 1885 01:38:50.960 --> 01:38:53.119 it happening, and what's the consequence to all of us? 1886 01:38:53.239 --> 01:38:54.960 And then we leave out with my family's story, and 1887 01:38:54.960 --> 01:38:56.640 those are stories that are probably like the ones you 1888 01:38:56.640 --> 01:39:00.000 heard from your wife's family stories. Is survival of you know, 1889 01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:02.920 weather farm accident. Second, iic up people from the depression 1890 01:39:02.960 --> 01:39:05.680 to today, and you know, it's definitely a unique thing. 1891 01:39:05.680 --> 01:39:08.039 It's a life deals with with both beauty and hardship 1892 01:39:08.079 --> 01:39:08.960 that goes hand in hand. 1893 01:39:09.239 --> 01:39:09.479 Well. 1894 01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:12.840 Growing up, you know, I not not fully appreciating the 1895 01:39:12.840 --> 01:39:17.199 concept of the small, the family farm by contrast to 1896 01:39:17.279 --> 01:39:20.800 the corporate farm. And of course, if you're a corporate farm, 1897 01:39:20.840 --> 01:39:22.800 you can afford to buy the what I don't know 1898 01:39:22.800 --> 01:39:24.920 how much one of those massive tractors costs. There are 1899 01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:28.640 hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I just I can't 1900 01:39:28.640 --> 01:39:31.520 imagine a situation where my my now late father in law, 1901 01:39:31.520 --> 01:39:35.199 he lived in ninety three, I think years old, the 1902 01:39:35.800 --> 01:39:39.760 idea that he could ever afford something that costs so 1903 01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:42.800 much in order to just sort of just try to 1904 01:39:42.880 --> 01:39:47.720 keep up in terms of competing. I mean it, it's 1905 01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:50.640 just it represents such a colossal challenge for small farmers 1906 01:39:50.680 --> 01:39:52.600 to compete with, you know, somebody who's got tens of 1907 01:39:52.600 --> 01:39:56.520 millions of dollars because they're backed up by major corporations. 1908 01:39:56.640 --> 01:39:57.319 You know, it does. 1909 01:39:57.600 --> 01:39:59.520 And here's what's going on. We've got that kind of 1910 01:39:59.560 --> 01:40:02.239 force going on all across our economy. So the food 1911 01:40:02.279 --> 01:40:04.000 companies are working to keep up with the rest of 1912 01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:06.920 the American economy by getting bigger and bigger. The agribusiness 1913 01:40:06.960 --> 01:40:08.880 companies work and keep with food companies, and the farmers 1914 01:40:08.920 --> 01:40:10.439 are left trying to keep up with the agga business. 1915 01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:12.359 Food companies several are trying to keep up with the Joneses. 1916 01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:15.560 So you get farms, whether they're a big, small, or medium, 1917 01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:17.720 they are all trying to keep up with the jones 1918 01:40:17.800 --> 01:40:20.600 and everybody has that pressure to get bigger or get out. 1919 01:40:20.640 --> 01:40:22.439 A lot of our bigger farmers got that way trying 1920 01:40:22.439 --> 01:40:24.760 to survive a lot of our medium and smaller farms. 1921 01:40:24.880 --> 01:40:27.359 You ended up not making it because that we do 1922 01:40:27.439 --> 01:40:29.560 still have a lot of family farms left in this country. 1923 01:40:29.600 --> 01:40:31.920 But it's truly against the odds. It's people like your 1924 01:40:31.960 --> 01:40:34.119 father in law who are continue to work trying to 1925 01:40:34.119 --> 01:40:36.640 figure a way to be competitive, to be efficient, to 1926 01:40:36.680 --> 01:40:40.520 be resourceful, even though the economic crises and government policies 1927 01:40:40.640 --> 01:40:43.239 you hit them in unique ways that people don't understand. 1928 01:40:43.439 --> 01:40:45.640 And even though so much of our technology, to your point, 1929 01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:47.680 has been leaving family farms behind. It doesn't have to 1930 01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:50.359 be this way, but it certainly is this way. With 1931 01:40:50.399 --> 01:40:53.000 the deck stacked against our family farmer who's whatever their 1932 01:40:53.039 --> 01:40:55.359 type or size, fighting to keep going well. 1933 01:40:55.359 --> 01:40:59.560 And it almost seems like they're intentionally trying to put 1934 01:40:59.600 --> 01:41:02.880 the small farm out of business. And I don't know 1935 01:41:02.920 --> 01:41:04.640 if you've ever seen it, and I know it's Britain 1936 01:41:04.720 --> 01:41:07.720 or the United Kingdom. But Clarkson's farm, you know, Jeremy 1937 01:41:07.720 --> 01:41:11.880 Clarkson has this farm, and every show really illustrates the 1938 01:41:12.039 --> 01:41:16.840 insanity of the micro management of government authorities over you 1939 01:41:16.880 --> 01:41:19.399 know the types of crops that are grown, where they 1940 01:41:19.439 --> 01:41:21.920 can be grown, you know the amount of moisture contact 1941 01:41:22.479 --> 01:41:26.640 content in a rape seed, and it's almost as if 1942 01:41:26.680 --> 01:41:29.039 they want to drive amount of business with rules and regulations. 1943 01:41:29.119 --> 01:41:32.640 Then you keep on the whole idea of this climate change, religion, 1944 01:41:32.760 --> 01:41:35.319 col flatulence. We need to regulate that, we need to 1945 01:41:35.319 --> 01:41:38.159 regulate how much space your chickens have or your pork has. 1946 01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:41.960 I mean, it just adds so much additional cost burden 1947 01:41:42.039 --> 01:41:44.399 and I guess paperwork on the small farmer. 1948 01:41:45.439 --> 01:41:50.079 Yeah, you know, you're so right. Every single day, government requirements, regulations, taxes, 1949 01:41:50.119 --> 01:41:54.560 different things are really waging war on the American family farmer. 1950 01:41:54.600 --> 01:41:56.479 And you know, the people who care about our environment. 1951 01:41:56.520 --> 01:41:59.319 The irony is that there's nobody who cares as much 1952 01:41:59.359 --> 01:42:03.000 about our soul, health and abundant water, clean water as 1953 01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:04.399 our farmers. So there's a lot of room for people 1954 01:42:04.399 --> 01:42:06.319 who care about environment and farmers to work together. But 1955 01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:08.720 the problem is our political debates divide everybody and we've 1956 01:42:08.760 --> 01:42:11.359 got government that's really stamping out family farmers. I give 1957 01:42:11.359 --> 01:42:13.479 you a one brief, perfect example. This happens. This stuff 1958 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:16.520 happens every single day, but there's really really serious times 1959 01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:19.319 in our history, or escalated in the farm crisis. The 1960 01:42:19.359 --> 01:42:22.560 government was pushing more debt on farms to make them 1961 01:42:22.600 --> 01:42:24.560 get bigger, and then within a few years they raised 1962 01:42:24.560 --> 01:42:26.439 interest rates because they were trying to deal with inflation. 1963 01:42:26.680 --> 01:42:29.640 You can argue forour or against the government trying to 1964 01:42:29.760 --> 01:42:32.520 encourage farmers to expand you can argue forour or against 1965 01:42:32.920 --> 01:42:35.479 changing interest rates. But when you push debt on them 1966 01:42:35.560 --> 01:42:37.760 with the government, and then you use that same government 1967 01:42:38.000 --> 01:42:40.159 to make that debt more expensive, you wipe out tens 1968 01:42:40.159 --> 01:42:42.479 of thousands of farms. My parents, we tell the story 1969 01:42:42.479 --> 01:42:45.159 in the book. They just barely survived that they had 1970 01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:47.279 been dealing with a drought and almost had to take 1971 01:42:47.279 --> 01:42:49.520 out a bunch of debt right before the farm crisis hit. 1972 01:42:49.560 --> 01:42:51.199 They didn't have to do that because they've banded together 1973 01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:53.600 with neighbors to get through that drought year, and they 1974 01:42:53.640 --> 01:42:55.880 avoided taking on debt which would have wiped them out. 1975 01:42:55.960 --> 01:42:58.079 In the nineteen eighties, just like happened to tens of 1976 01:42:58.079 --> 01:43:00.000 thousands of farms, all at the hand of our government. 1977 01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:02.399 And I'm so glad you brought that up, that you 1978 01:43:02.560 --> 01:43:06.279 banded together, because I've also gotten stories from my wife, 1979 01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:08.920 you know, anecdotes, and it's like, I shouldn't I should 1980 01:43:08.960 --> 01:43:10.680 give credit to my dad's side of the family too, 1981 01:43:10.720 --> 01:43:14.000 because they were all what I call dirt farmers in Tennessee. 1982 01:43:14.119 --> 01:43:17.000 So I got farm stock on both sides. But the 1983 01:43:17.119 --> 01:43:19.399 idea of community, and this is one of the more 1984 01:43:19.439 --> 01:43:21.640 positive things and one of the realities of you know, 1985 01:43:21.640 --> 01:43:23.399 when you ask yourself when you hear about you and 1986 01:43:23.479 --> 01:43:25.720 I talking about all this crisis and the problems and 1987 01:43:25.760 --> 01:43:28.239 the difficulties of being a farmer. There are so many 1988 01:43:28.279 --> 01:43:31.600 rewards to being a small farmer. And part of it 1989 01:43:31.640 --> 01:43:34.159 is that sense of community. Because the entire region where 1990 01:43:34.199 --> 01:43:36.680 my wife grew up, they're all farmers. They're all engaged 1991 01:43:36.680 --> 01:43:39.960 in the dairy business or you know, or at least 1992 01:43:40.000 --> 01:43:42.319 some aspect of farming. And when the hard times hit, 1993 01:43:42.359 --> 01:43:44.920 when people you know, struggle with difficulties, they all step 1994 01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:46.359 up to the plate and help each other out. 1995 01:43:46.479 --> 01:43:47.880 It's a beautiful thing to behold. 1996 01:43:49.159 --> 01:43:51.159 That's absolutely right. By the way, I'm glad that they 1997 01:43:51.159 --> 01:43:53.159 put a microphone in front of somebody who's got farming 1998 01:43:53.159 --> 01:43:54.920 on both sides of your family. That's outstanding. 1999 01:43:55.319 --> 01:43:57.800 Yeah, well, you see, I did following the footsteps. I 2000 01:43:57.840 --> 01:43:59.640 practiced law for sixteen years and I've been on the 2001 01:43:59.720 --> 01:44:02.239 radio now for this is my nineteenth year. I think 2002 01:44:02.439 --> 01:44:05.119 I was frightened away by the hardships that I saw 2003 01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:06.439 when I was exposed to it. 2004 01:44:06.520 --> 01:44:09.600 Brian, Well, I'll tell you we struggle with those same 2005 01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:11.479 things in our family. My sister's work and take over 2006 01:44:11.520 --> 01:44:13.199 the farm from my dad. I worked with my dad 2007 01:44:13.239 --> 01:44:14.880 from time like a walk. I love my roots, but 2008 01:44:14.920 --> 01:44:16.960 I didn't have their talent for cattle and crops. So 2009 01:44:17.000 --> 01:44:18.920 although I still worked with them on the business side, 2010 01:44:18.960 --> 01:44:20.720 and they're throwing a track from my dad. But you know, 2011 01:44:20.720 --> 01:44:22.399 I pursued my writing career. I'm just honored to be 2012 01:44:22.439 --> 01:44:24.600 able to tell the stories. So you and I have 2013 01:44:25.159 --> 01:44:26.880 come to some of the same things. But you know 2014 01:44:26.960 --> 01:44:29.800 your point on neighbors banning together. You're absolutely right. That 2015 01:44:29.840 --> 01:44:32.079 neighbor that I mentioned that helped my parents get through 2016 01:44:32.119 --> 01:44:34.720 the farm crisis in nineteen eighty is what happened. Is 2017 01:44:34.960 --> 01:44:36.840 he was an elderly man, didn't need all the crops 2018 01:44:36.840 --> 01:44:38.760 in his field. My dad was a young man starting 2019 01:44:38.800 --> 01:44:41.600 out and had fields that were barely putting up the crops. 2020 01:44:41.600 --> 01:44:43.720 He needed to feed his animals. So they went what 2021 01:44:43.760 --> 01:44:45.760 they call halves, and you might know this from your 2022 01:44:45.800 --> 01:44:48.279 own family background, when you go have one guy does 2023 01:44:48.319 --> 01:44:51.720 the work and then they split the crop right. Well, 2024 01:44:51.880 --> 01:44:55.000 the old man the name was Leo, and he refused 2025 01:44:55.000 --> 01:44:58.479 to take his fair share. He gave my dad more 2026 01:44:58.479 --> 01:45:00.439 of the crop than he ought to have, and my 2027 01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:02.640 dad kept on going down there trying to pay him money. 2028 01:45:02.680 --> 01:45:05.720 And you walked into the guy's cigarette, you know, filled 2029 01:45:06.199 --> 01:45:08.199 living and trying to hand him money there after dame time, 2030 01:45:08.279 --> 01:45:09.760 the guy said, you just got married. You don't know 2031 01:45:09.800 --> 01:45:11.680 me nothing. To take it and go. And we get 2032 01:45:11.680 --> 01:45:13.680 emotional just thinking about what we've been gone for a 2033 01:45:13.760 --> 01:45:15.760 number of years now. But if he hadn't done that, 2034 01:45:16.000 --> 01:45:17.760 my parents would have taken out a load of debt, 2035 01:45:17.760 --> 01:45:21.079 potentially just before the farm crisis hit. And it was 2036 01:45:21.119 --> 01:45:25.079 that working together and that sense of local community that 2037 01:45:25.199 --> 01:45:26.720 really got people through. And by the way, you know, 2038 01:45:26.920 --> 01:45:28.279 my dad was able to help this guy, but he 2039 01:45:28.319 --> 01:45:30.720 put in extra hours, working around the clock to get 2040 01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:32.680 the crops off this guy's field, and so it was 2041 01:45:32.720 --> 01:45:33.960 people helping people, you know. 2042 01:45:34.439 --> 01:45:37.279 Yeah, And the other sense I always get is in 2043 01:45:37.680 --> 01:45:40.359 another story back in from my wife. Back in the seventies, 2044 01:45:40.399 --> 01:45:43.039 we went through stagflation and the economy went down the toilet, 2045 01:45:43.039 --> 01:45:44.920 and I'm sure it happened in multiple different times over 2046 01:45:44.960 --> 01:45:47.520 the life of that particular farm and my father in law. 2047 01:45:48.039 --> 01:45:55.159 But because they were realistic and not materialistic, they pretty 2048 01:45:55.199 --> 01:45:56.600 much were self sufficient. 2049 01:45:56.720 --> 01:45:58.279 They didn't, you know, want more. 2050 01:45:58.399 --> 01:46:00.479 They didn't think that, oh my god, I wish I 2051 01:46:00.520 --> 01:46:03.399 had a better this, or that they had everything they needed. 2052 01:46:03.760 --> 01:46:07.279 And so when hard times hit the general population and 2053 01:46:07.319 --> 01:46:10.239 people then had to do without something, they became used 2054 01:46:10.239 --> 01:46:11.840 to like, oh, we're going to have to cut back 2055 01:46:11.880 --> 01:46:14.079 on this, or we need to drop the country club membership. 2056 01:46:14.119 --> 01:46:17.159 Because of the you know, the economic thing, their life 2057 01:46:17.199 --> 01:46:20.520 remained static. They continued to live at the same level, 2058 01:46:20.560 --> 01:46:22.880 which was enough to feed them and satisfy them and 2059 01:46:22.920 --> 01:46:24.800 pay the bills, and they it was sort of if 2060 01:46:24.840 --> 01:46:27.159 they didn't have a newspaper, they didn't even realize the 2061 01:46:27.159 --> 01:46:29.439 rest of the world was going through this turmoil. 2062 01:46:30.760 --> 01:46:32.319 Yeah, that's absolutely right, you know, It's one of the 2063 01:46:32.359 --> 01:46:34.760 things that I encountered so much when I was working 2064 01:46:34.800 --> 01:46:37.359 on the book because I knew these family stories, I 2065 01:46:37.439 --> 01:46:39.159 knew bits and pieces of them, and I wanted to 2066 01:46:39.199 --> 01:46:41.520 reconstruct and be able to tell the survival stories. But 2067 01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:44.399 then I started researching what was going on around us 2068 01:46:44.399 --> 01:46:46.800 at that time. What was happening to my great grandparents 2069 01:46:46.840 --> 01:46:48.520 in the early nineteen nine so what was happening to 2070 01:46:48.520 --> 01:46:50.680 my grandparents and the depression? What were the bigger forces 2071 01:46:50.720 --> 01:46:52.840 at play? And it's so true that you know, when 2072 01:46:52.880 --> 01:46:54.720 you're on the ground and the farm, you don't necessarily 2073 01:46:54.800 --> 01:46:56.840 have a way to see the bigger forces affecting you. 2074 01:46:56.920 --> 01:46:59.119 And then vice versa. Right the rest of the country 2075 01:46:59.520 --> 01:47:02.479 that's living out some of those forces doesn't necessarily get 2076 01:47:02.479 --> 01:47:04.000 a chance to see what's on the farm. And that's 2077 01:47:04.039 --> 01:47:06.079 really the challenge. That's the core reason that our farms 2078 01:47:06.079 --> 01:47:09.159 are disappearance, because that disconnects. And here's the thing. It 2079 01:47:09.239 --> 01:47:11.840 impacts not only our rural communities like where I'm from 2080 01:47:11.880 --> 01:47:13.680 and like where your family has roots that are getting 2081 01:47:13.680 --> 01:47:16.640 hollowed out, but it impacts every single American dinner table 2082 01:47:16.640 --> 01:47:19.319 because when we're losing our farms, we're impacting the price, 2083 01:47:19.399 --> 01:47:21.880 the health, the security of the food supply for every 2084 01:47:21.880 --> 01:47:22.680 single American. 2085 01:47:23.359 --> 01:47:25.239 Brian Rising or the author of the book we're talking 2086 01:47:25.239 --> 01:47:27.960 about today, land Ridge Cash Poor, my family's hope and 2087 01:47:28.000 --> 01:47:31.159 the untold history of the disappearing American farmer, Brian, if 2088 01:47:31.159 --> 01:47:33.960 you could fix something, and I mean, I guess for 2089 01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:37.520 an initial question of the answer, can the small farm, 2090 01:47:37.680 --> 01:47:42.520 can the the the American small farmer be saved? Can 2091 01:47:42.560 --> 01:47:47.079 they continue assuming they desire to continue farming as opposed 2092 01:47:47.119 --> 01:47:50.800 to corporate sized farms, Can they survive? And if there's 2093 01:47:50.840 --> 01:47:53.960 something if the answer may be leaning toward no, because 2094 01:47:54.000 --> 01:47:55.760 of all the things that we sort of scratch the 2095 01:47:55.800 --> 01:47:57.720 surface of that you dive deep to deep two in 2096 01:47:57.720 --> 01:48:00.399 your book, what would you change that might need to 2097 01:48:01.000 --> 01:48:04.920 a better life for them or a more successful, lasting 2098 01:48:05.079 --> 01:48:05.800 farm life. 2099 01:48:06.720 --> 01:48:09.560 Absolutely, you know there is reason for hope. We've lost 2100 01:48:09.680 --> 01:48:12.239 seventy percent of our farms in the past century, which 2101 01:48:12.279 --> 01:48:14.359 is devastating, but we still got nearly two million left. 2102 01:48:14.359 --> 01:48:17.479 And here's the incredible thing. Ninety six percent of our 2103 01:48:17.520 --> 01:48:19.840 family farms. And it's because people have farms that they're 2104 01:48:19.880 --> 01:48:21.800 working part time will also pull them two to three 2105 01:48:21.880 --> 01:48:25.319 jobs to keep things going. So these are families nearly 2106 01:48:25.319 --> 01:48:27.960 two million families that are you know, continuing to fight 2107 01:48:28.039 --> 01:48:30.359 forward even though we haven't you know, made the economics 2108 01:48:30.439 --> 01:48:32.399 work in this country. Imagine if we made the economics 2109 01:48:32.399 --> 01:48:34.920 work again. And so we do need to change things, 2110 01:48:34.960 --> 01:48:37.359 and there's moves we can make that can inject new 2111 01:48:37.600 --> 01:48:40.399 entrepreneur opportunity out there for our farmers. We need to 2112 01:48:40.479 --> 01:48:43.319 research and development revolution so that all of our technology 2113 01:48:43.359 --> 01:48:45.800 is bringing farms of all sizes, medium and small as 2114 01:48:45.800 --> 01:48:48.159 well as large along. We need to change our policies 2115 01:48:48.159 --> 01:48:50.199 to make sure we've got fair markets for small businesses 2116 01:48:50.199 --> 01:48:51.880 in this country. And we need to make sure that 2117 01:48:51.960 --> 01:48:55.000 consumers who care about where their food comes from take 2118 01:48:55.119 --> 01:48:57.920 steps toward buying from local farmers, buyack from a farmer 2119 01:48:57.920 --> 01:48:59.439 down the road, you know that kind of thing. 2120 01:48:59.640 --> 01:49:03.159 Yeah, imagine that that was an injection of positivity the 2121 01:49:03.199 --> 01:49:07.199 whole buy local, buy from your local farmers, the you know, 2122 01:49:07.279 --> 01:49:11.159 eat and consume local. What's available fresh from the farm, 2123 01:49:11.439 --> 01:49:14.000 you know, grass raised, be a grass fed beef raised 2124 01:49:14.000 --> 01:49:16.199 from your local farm. It should be easier for I 2125 01:49:16.199 --> 01:49:19.199 suppose farmers to slaughter their own beef and sell it locally. 2126 01:49:19.479 --> 01:49:22.479 Maybe I knew Congressman Thomas Massey's on my program a lot. 2127 01:49:22.520 --> 01:49:24.000 I'm a huge fan of it. Is he has his 2128 01:49:24.039 --> 01:49:26.399 own farm, and you know he is a big fan 2129 01:49:26.439 --> 01:49:28.760 of you know, raw milk or some health benefits of that. 2130 01:49:28.840 --> 01:49:30.840 My wife grew up drinking it, you know, straight from 2131 01:49:30.880 --> 01:49:34.119 the Couch's as healthy as she could possibly be. So, 2132 01:49:34.680 --> 01:49:38.880 you know, but maybe this RFK junior emphasis towards health 2133 01:49:39.000 --> 01:49:42.600 might give that much needed infusion for the local farmer. 2134 01:49:43.960 --> 01:49:46.479 Yeah, you know, that's the hope. There's always opportunity in 2135 01:49:46.560 --> 01:49:49.600 peril and for the farmer. And you know, people caring 2136 01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:52.000 about where the food comes from us shifting toward farmers 2137 01:49:52.039 --> 01:49:54.239 able to meet the markets and meet now, but also 2138 01:49:54.279 --> 01:49:57.439 meet new markets from people who care about local, regional 2139 01:49:57.439 --> 01:50:00.319 fresh food, who care about specialty foods. Being able to 2140 01:50:00.359 --> 01:50:02.319 shift our farm economy in that direction, that creates the 2141 01:50:02.399 --> 01:50:05.239 entrepreneur opportunity for our farmers. It also creates more options 2142 01:50:05.239 --> 01:50:07.039 for consumers. We've got to make sure that we make 2143 01:50:07.039 --> 01:50:09.479 those transitions. Understand that farms are small businesses. Then I 2144 01:50:09.479 --> 01:50:10.840 have a whole lot of money sitting around to invest 2145 01:50:10.920 --> 01:50:12.800 in new things, but they can make change over time. 2146 01:50:13.319 --> 01:50:14.880 And if we can get focused on that and every 2147 01:50:14.880 --> 01:50:16.680 consumer takes a step toward the farmer. I know the 2148 01:50:16.680 --> 01:50:19.119 farmers are ready to take more steps toward the consumer. 2149 01:50:18.920 --> 01:50:20.720 And knowing the farmers the way I do, I know 2150 01:50:20.840 --> 01:50:22.720 you are right on that. Brian Rising, your author of 2151 01:50:22.800 --> 01:50:25.239 land Ridge Cash for my family's hope and the untold 2152 01:50:25.279 --> 01:50:28.800 history of the disappearing American farmer, hopefully we can reverse 2153 01:50:28.840 --> 01:50:30.920 that process. Brian, it's been a real pleasure talking with 2154 01:50:30.960 --> 01:50:32.840 you today. I appreciate you spending time with my listeners 2155 01:50:32.880 --> 01:50:35.119 of me and for writing the book, which is now 2156 01:50:35.159 --> 01:50:37.640 available on my blog page at fifty five KRC dot 2157 01:50:37.720 --> 01:50:39.479 com so people can easily get a copy of it, 2158 01:50:39.520 --> 01:50:41.600 and I strongly encourage them to do that because you 2159 01:50:41.640 --> 01:50:44.239 will have a much more profound appreciation for the hard 2160 01:50:44.239 --> 01:50:47.439 work that these men and women put in every single day. Brian, 2161 01:50:47.479 --> 01:50:48.760 you take great care of yourself. 2162 01:50:49.720 --> 01:50:51.880 Hey, thanks you too, Thanks for having me my pleasure. 2163 01:50:51.960 --> 01:50:53.840 It's eight nineteen right now if you have KR City 2164 01:50:53.840 --> 01:50:56.239 doc station, it being Thursday. I heard me the ABAS 2165 01:50:56.279 --> 01:50:58.560 and expert Jay Ratliff waiting in the wingings looking forward 2166 01:50:58.600 --> 01:51:00.359 to having imback on as I always am. Maybe a 2167 01:51:00.359 --> 01:51:06.000 word or two about the markets. Hey thirty on a Thursday, 2168 01:51:06.079 --> 01:51:09.279 regular listeners, No, it's that time week Get Stuck. iHeartMedia 2169 01:51:09.279 --> 01:51:10.800 aviation expert Jay Ratlift. 2170 01:51:11.239 --> 01:51:13.840 Welcome back, my good friend, Jay Ratliffe. It's a pleasure 2171 01:51:13.840 --> 01:51:14.640 to have you on the program. 2172 01:51:14.680 --> 01:51:18.199 As always spent some of the morning talking about your dad. 2173 01:51:18.520 --> 01:51:21.600 Oh really, yeah, I was every morning I'm on with 2174 01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:25.960 Bill Wills up at the TAM in Cleveland. Yeah and yeah, 2175 01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:28.399 he used to do the farm reports forty some years 2176 01:51:28.399 --> 01:51:31.760 ago and that of WLW and was talking about some 2177 01:51:31.880 --> 01:51:34.720 fond memories of your dad. So I enjoyed that this morning. 2178 01:51:35.039 --> 01:51:37.520 I appreciate that, and I'm sure my dad was smiling 2179 01:51:37.640 --> 01:51:42.279 from above and reflecting on those memories himself. And you know, 2180 01:51:42.760 --> 01:51:45.600 I gotta go down this stock trading road because you know, 2181 01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:47.680 we always talk about it. You are a stock trader. 2182 01:51:47.800 --> 01:51:50.159 Daytrade fund dot com is where you find Jay and 2183 01:51:50.680 --> 01:51:54.800 his methodology and where you can learn it. But your 2184 01:51:54.840 --> 01:51:57.600 reaction to the insanity that went on this week, you 2185 01:51:57.640 --> 01:52:00.800 know Trump's you know, tariffs are issue. The mark goes crazy, 2186 01:52:00.920 --> 01:52:03.279 trillions of dollars, dogs and cats, let me together, We're 2187 01:52:03.279 --> 01:52:06.680 all gonna die and then lo and behold after him 2188 01:52:06.800 --> 01:52:09.039 pausing it because so many countries stepped up to the 2189 01:52:09.079 --> 01:52:11.119 plate and said no, we want to negotiate. We don't 2190 01:52:11.119 --> 01:52:13.640 want to do retaliatory tariffs. We'd rather sit down and 2191 01:52:13.760 --> 01:52:15.800 work something out with you. So he said, all right, 2192 01:52:16.199 --> 01:52:19.399 we'll go ninety day pause. And one of my listeners, 2193 01:52:19.439 --> 01:52:21.279 and you may have heard me mention it before, west Side, 2194 01:52:21.319 --> 01:52:24.119 Jim Keefer. He lost a substantial amount of his portfolio, 2195 01:52:24.199 --> 01:52:27.359 but gained all of it back plus some additional yesterday. 2196 01:52:27.800 --> 01:52:28.399 He's ahead. 2197 01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:32.560 And that's why you don't you don't panic. And you know, 2198 01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:36.800 I have to admit, there's part of me that wonders 2199 01:52:37.720 --> 01:52:41.960 if Donald Trump didn't pull this just to show the 2200 01:52:42.079 --> 01:52:44.479 world he will do what he needs to do. And 2201 01:52:44.680 --> 01:52:48.079 would that cause people that weren't formally gonna negotiate as 2202 01:52:48.119 --> 01:52:49.439 country leaders say, you. 2203 01:52:49.479 --> 01:52:51.880 Know what we need to I think that. 2204 01:52:53.359 --> 01:52:55.439 We always talk, we always talk about the Airplane movie 2205 01:52:56.279 --> 01:52:57.920 and there's a scene in there where all the lights 2206 01:52:57.960 --> 01:53:00.039 go out on the runways and they look over and 2207 01:53:00.119 --> 01:53:02.680 Johnny's pulled the plug with a big smile that you know, 2208 01:53:02.800 --> 01:53:06.039 maybe that was Donald Trump. I don't want to think 2209 01:53:06.239 --> 01:53:09.000 he would be playing with people's money that way, but 2210 01:53:09.159 --> 01:53:12.159 you know, most people are just gonna you know, panic, 2211 01:53:12.239 --> 01:53:15.720 but not pull the trigger and make any rash decisions. 2212 01:53:15.760 --> 01:53:18.159 And you and I've talked about so many times before. 2213 01:53:18.279 --> 01:53:20.960 The two emotions that I teach my students about are 2214 01:53:21.039 --> 01:53:23.279 fear and greed. And if you can get the emotions 2215 01:53:23.680 --> 01:53:25.479 out of the equation, you can make a lot of 2216 01:53:25.560 --> 01:53:28.560 money consistently on Wall Street. But the problem is when 2217 01:53:28.680 --> 01:53:31.960 people allowed the headlines and all the panic and things 2218 01:53:32.039 --> 01:53:35.560 of this nature to start to, you know, influence their decisions. 2219 01:53:35.920 --> 01:53:38.680 You had people that were making some really rash and 2220 01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:42.800 ill advised decisions based on what was taking place, convinced 2221 01:53:42.840 --> 01:53:45.159 the market was going to continue to go down and 2222 01:53:45.640 --> 01:53:48.159 it you know, you just got to stay away from 2223 01:53:48.159 --> 01:53:50.840 the emotion part. And Warren Buffett, if I may, the 2224 01:53:50.920 --> 01:53:54.359 guy that was being chastised at an investor conference in 2225 01:53:55.439 --> 01:53:59.199 I want to say it was February because people were 2226 01:53:59.239 --> 01:54:02.319 telling the fifth richest man on the planet that he 2227 01:54:02.520 --> 01:54:04.199 was making a mistake because he had three hundred and 2228 01:54:04.239 --> 01:54:07.840 forty four billion dollars on the sidelines. They said that 2229 01:54:07.920 --> 01:54:09.560 money should be in the market, come on, get it, 2230 01:54:09.600 --> 01:54:11.319 and he's like, nope, I wait for stocks to go 2231 01:54:11.399 --> 01:54:14.600 on sale, then I make my call. So I always 2232 01:54:14.600 --> 01:54:16.800 think it's fun when somebody tells the fifth richest man 2233 01:54:16.840 --> 01:54:19.159 in the world, he's doing something wrong, because you get 2234 01:54:19.199 --> 01:54:21.319 to that point by doing a lot of things right. 2235 01:54:21.520 --> 01:54:24.119 He doesn't panic when the market drops. He's just looking 2236 01:54:24.199 --> 01:54:25.800 for stocks that go on sale and buys him. 2237 01:54:26.079 --> 01:54:28.439 Yeah, and you know, perhaps he did buy after the 2238 01:54:28.560 --> 01:54:30.439 cell off the other day. It wouldn't shock me if 2239 01:54:30.439 --> 01:54:30.760 he did. 2240 01:54:31.359 --> 01:54:32.720 I think he was waiting for a little bit more. 2241 01:54:32.920 --> 01:54:34.920 And Braden, you never know. If if the tariffs and 2242 01:54:35.319 --> 01:54:38.279 as we approach that ninety day mark aren't in a 2243 01:54:38.680 --> 01:54:40.880 you know, in line with where we want, we could 2244 01:54:40.920 --> 01:54:43.319 see another round of volatility. Now. The good news is 2245 01:54:44.039 --> 01:54:46.640 that we if we do have round two, we've got 2246 01:54:46.720 --> 01:54:49.439 between now and then to work on it and for 2247 01:54:49.560 --> 01:54:52.319 people to understand what could happen and to relax. And 2248 01:54:52.560 --> 01:54:55.840 in fact, on my success blog at the Day Trade Fund, 2249 01:54:56.159 --> 01:54:58.760 I think it was a November entry of last year. 2250 01:54:58.800 --> 01:55:01.279 On my success blog, I talked about how to survive 2251 01:55:01.359 --> 01:55:04.560 and thrive when one of these market corrections take place. 2252 01:55:04.600 --> 01:55:06.840 And they happen all the time, so if you can 2253 01:55:06.920 --> 01:55:10.359 be prepared when it takes place, it doesn't catch you 2254 01:55:10.399 --> 01:55:13.000 off guard. Be you don't panic, and see you've got 2255 01:55:13.039 --> 01:55:15.600 a predetermined plane of action you're going to follow. Even 2256 01:55:15.640 --> 01:55:18.479 if it means don't do anything and then do what 2257 01:55:18.560 --> 01:55:20.680 the big guys do. That the Warren Buffets and others 2258 01:55:21.039 --> 01:55:22.880 look for stocks to go on sale, and I warrant 2259 01:55:22.880 --> 01:55:25.600 obviously holds them for longer periods of time than our eight, 2260 01:55:25.640 --> 01:55:28.880 ten and fifteen minutes that we flip stocks. Right, it's 2261 01:55:28.920 --> 01:55:30.920 the same concept. You look for stocks and it's the 2262 01:55:30.920 --> 01:55:33.880 specific point. If they reach that point, you buy them 2263 01:55:33.920 --> 01:55:35.399 and you know exactly where you're going to sell them. 2264 01:55:35.439 --> 01:55:38.079 Well, I can't let the end of this conversation and 2265 01:55:38.279 --> 01:55:40.159 as it's going to a break without observing you know, 2266 01:55:40.800 --> 01:55:43.079 we are all familiar with, at least my listeners are 2267 01:55:43.119 --> 01:55:45.640 the bias in media, and it's certainly they are not 2268 01:55:45.880 --> 01:55:48.840 favorable to the Trump administration across the board. So maybe 2269 01:55:48.880 --> 01:55:51.039 a lot of this hysteria and gloom and doom and 2270 01:55:51.159 --> 01:55:54.039 we're all going to die as a consequence of them 2271 01:55:54.239 --> 01:55:57.720 stirring the pot of fear that was brought about and 2272 01:55:58.000 --> 01:55:59.840 well led to maybe some of the markets sell off. 2273 01:56:00.079 --> 01:56:01.000 I don't know, but what. 2274 01:56:02.039 --> 01:56:05.279 Brain you're exactly correct, and if you're talking about if 2275 01:56:05.319 --> 01:56:07.159 as possible, as we saw with one of those recent 2276 01:56:07.199 --> 01:56:10.760 polls that you've addressed, that the idea of an assassination 2277 01:56:10.960 --> 01:56:13.600 on any of the you know, Musk or a Trump 2278 01:56:13.680 --> 01:56:16.680 or these others is considered justifiable in the eyes of 2279 01:56:16.760 --> 01:56:18.880 some of those people. I mean, yeah, that's the kind 2280 01:56:18.880 --> 01:56:22.000 of message that they're sending. Yeah, they'll do anything and 2281 01:56:22.600 --> 01:56:25.439 you know, whatever it means to try to prevent the 2282 01:56:25.479 --> 01:56:27.359 president from doing what he's doing. In fact, in the 2283 01:56:27.439 --> 01:56:29.439 last little bit, it's about the only thing that they've 2284 01:56:29.479 --> 01:56:31.840 really had to jump up and down on to point at. 2285 01:56:32.279 --> 01:56:35.680 But it's also the president Trump's own doing, because remember 2286 01:56:36.079 --> 01:56:38.159 he talked about when he was campaigning, if the market 2287 01:56:38.279 --> 01:56:40.680 wasn't doing well, look under me, it did great, blah 2288 01:56:40.720 --> 01:56:43.159 blah blah blah blah. So now that he's president, he's 2289 01:56:43.199 --> 01:56:45.199 got to own anything if it goes up or down. 2290 01:56:45.359 --> 01:56:49.399 Yeah, certainly true. Anyway, we'll pause, we will talk aviation issues. 2291 01:56:51.359 --> 01:56:54.600 Aviation expert Jay ratlifte be right back after these brief words. 2292 01:56:55.000 --> 01:56:58.800 And I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattlift as they 2293 01:56:58.880 --> 01:57:02.239 lead into the first story, Jay Ratlift, is it just 2294 01:57:02.359 --> 01:57:05.159 the Internet which brings these stories to our attention and 2295 01:57:05.359 --> 01:57:08.680 they always existed at the same level, or our passenger 2296 01:57:08.760 --> 01:57:10.840 is becoming more and more unruly these days. 2297 01:57:12.840 --> 01:57:15.680 I would say there's an element of both, but it's 2298 01:57:15.880 --> 01:57:19.880 it's probably a little bit more prevalent these days because 2299 01:57:20.119 --> 01:57:21.239 and I think a lot of it has to do 2300 01:57:21.439 --> 01:57:23.359 is just the aggravation of a lot of people as 2301 01:57:23.399 --> 01:57:27.479 they fly. In the eighties, nineties, two thousands, a lot 2302 01:57:27.560 --> 01:57:31.159 of times we would have load factors averaging sixty seventy 2303 01:57:31.199 --> 01:57:34.239 percent where you still had room on the airplane. You 2304 01:57:34.319 --> 01:57:37.239 weren't fighting for overhead storage space. It just it was 2305 01:57:37.279 --> 01:57:40.319 a more pleasant experience to travel than what it is now. 2306 01:57:41.039 --> 01:57:44.119 Now it's you know, you don't enjoy travel, you endure 2307 01:57:44.159 --> 01:57:45.960 it to get where you're at, and it's almost like, 2308 01:57:46.159 --> 01:57:49.079 you know, full contact rugby or something when you're trying 2309 01:57:49.319 --> 01:57:53.399 to do it. So these stories, now that we've got 2310 01:57:53.479 --> 01:57:56.000 social media, they tend to get out there more often, 2311 01:57:56.079 --> 01:57:58.520 and there's a tendency to think, well, it's just because 2312 01:57:58.640 --> 01:58:00.760 you know, we have the ability to get him out there. 2313 01:58:00.840 --> 01:58:04.239 But the numbers are up a bit. The problem is 2314 01:58:04.279 --> 01:58:06.800 a lot of times when these people are involved in assault, 2315 01:58:07.520 --> 01:58:09.600 they don't share that information with other airlines, And that 2316 01:58:09.680 --> 01:58:12.520 remains one of my biggest pet peas, because if you 2317 01:58:12.600 --> 01:58:16.640 assault somebody on American well you should not be allowed 2318 01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:18.760 to fly in United where you could assault a flight 2319 01:58:18.800 --> 01:58:22.680 attendant or another passenger, there should be some sort of consequences. 2320 01:58:22.720 --> 01:58:25.239 And boy, what a headache we had on that American 2321 01:58:25.319 --> 01:58:28.479 flight leaving JFK on his way to Milan. And that 2322 01:58:28.640 --> 01:58:31.079 just sounds so nice. Just get on a plane and 2323 01:58:31.199 --> 01:58:33.720 you're going to Milan. You just sit back, relaxed, and 2324 01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:36.359 you're gonna have a good time. Until four hours into 2325 01:58:36.399 --> 01:58:38.880 the flight, you've got a passenger who gets into a 2326 01:58:38.960 --> 01:58:43.359 heated argument with a flight attendant over what his meal 2327 01:58:43.680 --> 01:58:47.479 wasn't what he had ordered, Lord Ques did, oh yes. 2328 01:58:47.920 --> 01:58:51.119 So the verbal argument then becomes a physical situation where 2329 01:58:51.479 --> 01:58:54.119 he's actually shoving some of the flight attendants, and then 2330 01:58:54.159 --> 01:58:57.119 he makes a dash towards the cockpit because of course 2331 01:58:57.199 --> 01:58:59.800 the captain is going to be very interested in his 2332 01:59:00.079 --> 01:59:03.000 particular problem, and they stop him, and then all of 2333 01:59:03.039 --> 01:59:06.039 a sudden they turn that airplane around. They're four hours 2334 01:59:06.119 --> 01:59:11.199 into flight over the Atlantic Ocean back to JFK's It 2335 01:59:11.319 --> 01:59:14.880 was closest airport they could get to so for American airlines. 2336 01:59:14.960 --> 01:59:19.960 So you come back, you land, the demand is taking off, detained, 2337 01:59:20.039 --> 01:59:24.560 I hope, arrested, and passengers will put up overnight. Sixteen 2338 01:59:24.720 --> 01:59:28.119 hours after they left the first time, they're back on 2339 01:59:28.199 --> 01:59:31.600 the airplane and then headed back to Milan. So it 2340 01:59:31.840 --> 01:59:34.159 just goes to show it takes, you know, and there's 2341 01:59:34.199 --> 01:59:36.840 people in Italy that are waiting for that aircraft to 2342 01:59:36.880 --> 01:59:39.399 get there for them to take to wherever that next 2343 01:59:39.439 --> 01:59:42.000 segment was going to be. So you've got somebody that's 2344 01:59:42.039 --> 01:59:45.760 not only impacting everybody that's on a flight, but people 2345 01:59:45.840 --> 01:59:48.079 that are waiting on that aircraft at the next destination. 2346 01:59:48.680 --> 01:59:50.439 And think of the people that were on their way 2347 01:59:50.520 --> 01:59:54.960 to a wedding or reunion or you know, my family 2348 01:59:55.039 --> 01:59:57.239 members on life support. I've got to get there before 2349 01:59:57.279 --> 02:00:01.399 they pass away. And you've got this absolute moron, this 2350 02:00:01.560 --> 02:00:05.159 acting up on this flight that is causing every other 2351 02:00:05.319 --> 02:00:08.279 passenger on board to suffer as a result. 2352 02:00:09.279 --> 02:00:11.319 Oh you know, I don't care if I got a 2353 02:00:11.399 --> 02:00:14.560 deadline or a layover or anything. I'm just I'm gonna 2354 02:00:14.600 --> 02:00:18.960 be just just insanely angry just. 2355 02:00:19.000 --> 02:00:23.159 Because you know, I'm being held up by this jerk. Period. 2356 02:00:23.239 --> 02:00:24.800 End of story. You don't have think much further than that. 2357 02:00:24.960 --> 02:00:28.239 It's like you, one guy caused all of this because 2358 02:00:28.279 --> 02:00:30.880 of a meal that you were served. It's airplane food. 2359 02:00:30.920 --> 02:00:33.359 For God's sake, it's gonna suck regardless of what they. 2360 02:00:33.319 --> 02:00:36.920 Feed you, but he wanted the less sucky kind. I think, 2361 02:00:37.039 --> 02:00:39.880 yeah right, It just but the idea of when it 2362 02:00:39.960 --> 02:00:43.159 became a security situation, that's when everything was off. Because 2363 02:00:43.159 --> 02:00:47.039 the airlines have very clearly defined protocol. When you know 2364 02:00:47.119 --> 02:00:49.720 there's no air marshall on board, they were calling for 2365 02:00:50.399 --> 02:00:53.319 any law enforcement officers or military that were on board 2366 02:00:53.359 --> 02:00:56.319 to assist because they were having a difficult time at 2367 02:00:56.399 --> 02:01:00.439 first to contain the individual. And every time I fly, 2368 02:01:01.279 --> 02:01:03.760 I'll say hello to the lead flight attendant and let 2369 02:01:03.800 --> 02:01:05.760 her let he or see know where I'm seated, just 2370 02:01:05.840 --> 02:01:08.119 in case he needed an extra set of hands, because 2371 02:01:08.119 --> 02:01:09.960 a lot of times you don't want to announce over 2372 02:01:10.159 --> 02:01:12.640 the intercom, you know, do we have any law enforcement 2373 02:01:12.680 --> 02:01:14.199 because I mean that's going to really start to bring 2374 02:01:14.279 --> 02:01:16.640 people out thinking something's wrong. And if they can just 2375 02:01:16.720 --> 02:01:19.039 come back and whisper if it's a medical emergency to 2376 02:01:19.119 --> 02:01:21.840 a doctor or nurse, or if they've got someone on 2377 02:01:21.840 --> 02:01:24.560 their law enforcement or whatever that can help a situation, 2378 02:01:24.680 --> 02:01:26.680 they want to do that. So it's a little bit, 2379 02:01:27.119 --> 02:01:30.600 you know, let's telegraphed across the cabin, but they were 2380 02:01:30.640 --> 02:01:33.359 calling for help to try to get this guy subdued 2381 02:01:33.760 --> 02:01:36.760 and restrained. They were able to do so. And then, 2382 02:01:36.840 --> 02:01:41.279 of course because of that one person, I mean, vacations 2383 02:01:41.359 --> 02:01:43.760 and all those kinds of things. 2384 02:01:43.560 --> 02:01:46.399 And it happens, and I think you might open yourself 2385 02:01:46.479 --> 02:01:48.960 up to a passenger induced beat down as well. 2386 02:01:49.079 --> 02:01:50.960 But I just to reserve my judgment. 2387 02:01:51.279 --> 02:01:55.520 Technically, we're only allowed to restrain, you can restrain forcefully. 2388 02:01:55.680 --> 02:02:00.439 So yes, indeed, all right, how about boycotting airline because 2389 02:02:00.479 --> 02:02:03.319 they're cooperating with Immigrations and Customs officials. 2390 02:02:04.239 --> 02:02:07.680 Well, we got the way. Little Airlines. They're the airline 2391 02:02:07.720 --> 02:02:11.119 that has been hired as a charter flight to help 2392 02:02:11.239 --> 02:02:15.600 the homeland security as far as their ice transportation for 2393 02:02:15.840 --> 02:02:19.840 the deportation of people that are being escorted out of 2394 02:02:19.880 --> 02:02:22.720 the country, a lot of them being you know, criminals 2395 02:02:22.760 --> 02:02:25.800 and other types of things. And there are groups around 2396 02:02:25.840 --> 02:02:27.880 the country that are saying, we are going to boycott 2397 02:02:27.960 --> 02:02:32.279 this airline because they're involved in something we don't agree with. 2398 02:02:32.840 --> 02:02:35.720 And you have the airline that flies to several cities 2399 02:02:36.199 --> 02:02:40.640 that you have where the democratic leadership of those cities 2400 02:02:40.840 --> 02:02:43.720 are saying, look, we're giving this airline some subsidies and 2401 02:02:43.800 --> 02:02:48.479 assistance in order to be here, and we want those 2402 02:02:48.520 --> 02:02:52.000 subsidies to be removed because we don't like what they 2403 02:02:52.079 --> 02:02:55.560 are doing. And of course the CEO for the airline says, look, 2404 02:02:56.279 --> 02:02:58.920 if it's not us, as someone else, we're going to 2405 02:02:58.960 --> 02:03:01.840 take the business because it's going to help our business 2406 02:03:01.920 --> 02:03:04.520 and allow us to continue to help you know, people 2407 02:03:04.560 --> 02:03:07.680 around the country as we fly because they're regularly scheduled airline. 2408 02:03:08.479 --> 02:03:10.279 But if it wasn't, then would be somebody else. Yeah, 2409 02:03:10.279 --> 02:03:12.800 so yeah, they've got a boycott and you know, I 2410 02:03:13.079 --> 02:03:15.479 we'll see where it goes or doesn't go. But it 2411 02:03:15.560 --> 02:03:18.520 seems like the CEO is pretty much a look, I 2412 02:03:18.600 --> 02:03:20.199 don't care, but this is what we're going to do 2413 02:03:20.319 --> 02:03:22.800 because A it needs to be done and be you know, 2414 02:03:22.840 --> 02:03:24.399 if it's not us, it's going to be someone else. 2415 02:03:25.079 --> 02:03:27.000 Fair enough, Well, we'll bring you right back on. 2416 02:03:27.039 --> 02:03:29.680 Another couple of stories to run by emotional support animal 2417 02:03:29.720 --> 02:03:32.479 story and then oh, look, I have one more. An 2418 02:03:32.560 --> 02:03:35.199 idiot passenger try to open a door in fly plus 2419 02:03:35.479 --> 02:03:38.600 hub delays one more with Jay Ratliffe. Be right back, 2420 02:03:39.319 --> 02:03:41.920 K forty eighth and five pair CD Talk Station, Ryan. 2421 02:03:41.880 --> 02:03:47.399 Thomas, Jay Ratliffe wrapping up our aviation segment here, I 2422 02:03:47.520 --> 02:03:49.800 understand an emotional support animal cause a bit of a 2423 02:03:49.880 --> 02:03:52.239 problem for a passenger. And we've had all kinds of 2424 02:03:52.319 --> 02:03:55.760 crazy stories about emotional support animals. What kind of emotional 2425 02:03:55.840 --> 02:03:57.760 support animal was it this time? Jay? 2426 02:03:58.680 --> 02:04:04.800 It was a parent one and she was flying Frontier 2427 02:04:04.960 --> 02:04:08.960 JFK to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and she had all 2428 02:04:09.000 --> 02:04:12.720 the documentation everything that Frontier required, so she was allowed 2429 02:04:12.720 --> 02:04:15.359 to take this rather large bird as her support animal 2430 02:04:15.399 --> 02:04:18.000 on board the flight down to Puerto Rico. She's coming 2431 02:04:18.119 --> 02:04:20.520 back and the agents there say you can't take a 2432 02:04:20.640 --> 02:04:24.079 parrot on our flight, it's too big. And she's like, 2433 02:04:24.199 --> 02:04:27.399 wait a minute, I flew Frontier down here, and they said, well, look, 2434 02:04:27.399 --> 02:04:28.720 all you got to do is go to our website. 2435 02:04:28.960 --> 02:04:33.560 It clearly states that no large birds can be accepted 2436 02:04:33.600 --> 02:04:36.239 as you know, emotional sport animals, so you just have 2437 02:04:36.279 --> 02:04:39.239 to leave it behind. And she's like, I'm not leaving 2438 02:04:39.359 --> 02:04:43.159 my pet slash emotional support animal behind. So she was 2439 02:04:43.199 --> 02:04:46.399 looking a Frontier to do something about the situation that 2440 02:04:46.479 --> 02:04:50.640 they created. And yeah, the last word I've not heard 2441 02:04:50.680 --> 02:04:52.520 if they've got it worked out. But she was in 2442 02:04:52.720 --> 02:04:56.640 essence staying in Puerto Rico till they got it worked out. 2443 02:04:57.319 --> 02:04:59.119 Well, if you've got attached to a parrot, and I 2444 02:04:59.199 --> 02:05:00.800 know a lot of people are are there's things live 2445 02:05:00.960 --> 02:05:03.600 eighty five one hundred years and oh yeah yeah, so 2446 02:05:04.000 --> 02:05:04.520 you know, yes. 2447 02:05:04.960 --> 02:05:06.800 And then if you know a lot of people look 2448 02:05:06.840 --> 02:05:09.760 at these, you know, pets as children type of thing, 2449 02:05:09.800 --> 02:05:12.439 and the idea of just leaving it behind is no 2450 02:05:12.720 --> 02:05:16.760 well one, it's a ridiculous situation, but or a suggestion. 2451 02:05:17.039 --> 02:05:20.960 But yeah, that's what somebody said. I suspect Frontier management 2452 02:05:21.000 --> 02:05:24.119 probably didn't think that was the most proper thing to say. 2453 02:05:25.319 --> 02:05:27.960 Well, real quick, I saw this morning. I always check 2454 02:05:28.000 --> 02:05:30.800 aviation news and this one on Simplyflying dot com. Before 2455 02:05:30.800 --> 02:05:34.479 you and I talk, Frontier Airline's flight had turned back 2456 02:05:34.520 --> 02:05:37.359 to Denver after an unruly passenger attempted to open the 2457 02:05:37.479 --> 02:05:42.000 door on the Airbus A three twenty mid flight to 2458 02:05:42.359 --> 02:05:45.279 turn back. What I mean, you know, I guess people 2459 02:05:45.359 --> 02:05:48.319 become unhinged on some level. Maybe they're mentally challenged when 2460 02:05:48.319 --> 02:05:51.399 they get on, but you know, opening a door mid flight, 2461 02:05:52.600 --> 02:05:53.479 well done. 2462 02:05:53.319 --> 02:05:55.000 Trying to because you and I both know that they 2463 02:05:55.119 --> 02:05:58.079 can't because once the air is pressurized, it's not going 2464 02:05:58.159 --> 02:06:01.960 to happen. But that's the third grab the handle and 2465 02:06:02.119 --> 02:06:03.960 give it a pull story that I've had. In the 2466 02:06:04.079 --> 02:06:07.520 last two weeks, We've had three flights where people have 2467 02:06:07.640 --> 02:06:10.680 become irritated to the point that they have actually gone 2468 02:06:10.760 --> 02:06:12.800 up to the emergency door exit and they've tried to 2469 02:06:13.760 --> 02:06:16.760 jerk the handle. Now, if people are not aware of 2470 02:06:16.760 --> 02:06:19.520 the fact that the door can't be opened, obviously you're 2471 02:06:19.520 --> 02:06:21.760 gonna have people freaking out thinking they're about to die. 2472 02:06:22.359 --> 02:06:25.239 So you've got people diving on the individual trying to 2473 02:06:25.279 --> 02:06:28.239 make sure that they stay away from the door. And yeah, 2474 02:06:28.760 --> 02:06:30.279 in fact, we had one guy in a flight that 2475 02:06:30.720 --> 02:06:32.520 tried to do it. They moved him to a seat 2476 02:06:32.600 --> 02:06:35.079 away from it, and he tried to do it twice 2477 02:06:35.119 --> 02:06:39.319 on the same flight. So you know, it's just people 2478 02:06:39.439 --> 02:06:42.720 that are acting this kind of way induce panic, and 2479 02:06:42.880 --> 02:06:44.720 of course they'll never be allowed to fly on that 2480 02:06:44.840 --> 02:06:50.520 particular airline again, and they could be charged for inciting panic. 2481 02:06:50.680 --> 02:06:53.039 But most of the time the airlines do not even 2482 02:06:53.119 --> 02:06:55.960 pursue that. All they're told is, you know, you're not 2483 02:06:56.000 --> 02:06:57.760 gonna be flying us again, and they leave it. And 2484 02:06:57.880 --> 02:07:00.399 other than that, they may and should be getting a 2485 02:07:00.520 --> 02:07:04.399 fine from the Federal Aviation miministration for failure to abide 2486 02:07:04.439 --> 02:07:07.239 by the instructions of a uniform crew member, which can 2487 02:07:07.279 --> 02:07:09.960 be ten or twenty thousand dollars, if not more. So, 2488 02:07:10.319 --> 02:07:12.000 it's not gonna be something they're not gonna have some 2489 02:07:12.279 --> 02:07:15.680 consequences for. But obviously you wish it was more than 2490 02:07:15.720 --> 02:07:16.119 what it was. 2491 02:07:16.359 --> 02:07:16.560 Yeah. 2492 02:07:16.600 --> 02:07:20.560 Well, and speaking of consequences, at the bottom of the website. 2493 02:07:20.199 --> 02:07:23.159 Where I found this, they have a it's an image. 2494 02:07:23.199 --> 02:07:26.359 It's you know, the Halloween costumes. It's the Unruly Passenger 2495 02:07:26.479 --> 02:07:29.920 Halloween costume, and the it's a depiction of a guy 2496 02:07:30.000 --> 02:07:32.760 who's got duct tape all around them and zip ties 2497 02:07:33.199 --> 02:07:36.439 and the package includes it's the Spooky Unruly Passenger, includes 2498 02:07:36.520 --> 02:07:42.760 duct tape, zip tie cuffs, cancel tickets, fines, unemployment application costs, 2499 02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:44.720 thirty seven thousand dollars. 2500 02:07:45.640 --> 02:07:49.760 Oh, easily, easily and yeah, and probably some divorce papers too. Yeah. 2501 02:07:49.800 --> 02:07:51.920 One of the better images you can do is do 2502 02:07:52.039 --> 02:07:55.760 a Google search of an airline passenger that was duct 2503 02:07:55.760 --> 02:07:58.279 taped to a seat. They duct taped his mouth and 2504 02:07:58.359 --> 02:08:00.760 I mean they must have used two a duct tape 2505 02:08:00.800 --> 02:08:04.119 on this poor guy. And it's it's it's it's yeah, 2506 02:08:04.479 --> 02:08:06.640 it's probably the poster chilt of why you don't want 2507 02:08:06.680 --> 02:08:07.520 to act up on a flight. 2508 02:08:07.840 --> 02:08:10.239 No, and then there's that pesky fine, all right, we 2509 02:08:10.359 --> 02:08:12.439 got to close out as we always do with hub delays. 2510 02:08:12.439 --> 02:08:14.560 How's it looking out there for air travel today, Jay. 2511 02:08:14.479 --> 02:08:18.520 Ratliff, You know, we've got some obviously weather headed towards 2512 02:08:18.560 --> 02:08:22.119 the Northeast, and I think Minneapolis has already seen some delays, 2513 02:08:22.159 --> 02:08:24.920 but it's going to be Washington, d C, Philadelphia, New York, 2514 02:08:25.439 --> 02:08:28.039 maybe Boston by the end of the day. But in essence, 2515 02:08:28.039 --> 02:08:30.840 if you're flying anywhere to the Northeast, expect some delays. 2516 02:08:31.199 --> 02:08:33.800 Certainly expect some turbulence where we're going to be seeing 2517 02:08:33.840 --> 02:08:36.680 some some rough weather, not dangerous, just uncomfortable. Make sure 2518 02:08:36.680 --> 02:08:39.079 you've got your seatbelt fastened about you and get to 2519 02:08:39.159 --> 02:08:41.680 the airport early if you're flying to or through the Northeast, 2520 02:08:41.680 --> 02:08:43.760 because we will see some delays that are going to 2521 02:08:43.760 --> 02:08:45.720 be kind of plaguing us for the rest of the day. 2522 02:08:46.079 --> 02:08:48.720 Sound advice and Jay Raylife. As always, Jay, love having 2523 02:08:48.760 --> 02:08:50.399 you on the program.
