Speaker 1: Five O five, a fifty five k r C detalk station.
Speaker 2: Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 1: They had to take the top of my head off
Speaker 1: a couple of times. See if you had a brain,
Speaker 1: where'd you find that one? It's an old I'm surprised
Speaker 1: you haven't run that one more often. Joe's Tracker Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: happy to be here and very happy Tuesday to the listeners.
Speaker 1: And thank you to Joe Tracker for, as he typically does,
Speaker 1: kick off the morning with a funny SoundBite. Uh, and
Speaker 1: for lining up the show. I always give you Joe
Speaker 1: credit for the lineup, and of course he deserves credit
Speaker 1: for the lineup because he's responsible for putting it together. Today,
Speaker 1: Todd's Endser returns. He'll be in studios about his op
Speaker 1: ed piece not published in the online edition of the
Speaker 1: Sinsinni Inquirer. That's a frustrating thing for me, because you know,
Speaker 1: I've got an online subscription to the Inquirer, and say
Speaker 1: what you want, I like to follow local news. But
Speaker 1: the idea that you know what you get online is
Speaker 1: not all there. It's absent from the mean that the
Speaker 1: paper has information in it that the online edition has
Speaker 1: and I think in many cases the converse is true,
Speaker 1: how come it all isn't available in the exact same place.
Speaker 1: Maybe someday we can ask that question answered anyway, Toddleby
Speaker 1: instudied to talk about why the council. Since a city
Speaker 1: council has to deal with the pension liability about a
Speaker 1: lot more aggressively, and there is a substantial outstanding pension liability,
Speaker 1: don't think they've ever out loud addressed it. So Todd's
Speaker 1: ends are always doing a great, great job looking out
Speaker 1: for matters of significant local importance. So seven oh five
Speaker 1: with Todden Studio looking forward to having him back. Tim Rivers.
Speaker 1: We've had Tim on quite a few times the American
Speaker 1: ghulagg chronicles, and now that Hunter Biden's pardon are the
Speaker 1: January sixth prisoners next to deal with that in an
Speaker 1: op ed piece of William mcgerrn here in a moment,
Speaker 1: at least to a small degree, he touches upon that
Speaker 1: just briefly, but his pros is brilliant as we deal
Speaker 1: with the aftermath and the realities of what Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: pardon of his son actually means. Inside Scoop it is Tuesday.
Speaker 1: We do the inside Scoop with bright Barton News Today
Speaker 1: eighth five political reporter Wendell Hughes abo on, Yes, Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1: And finally, Daniel will not finally find Daniel Davis Deep
Speaker 1: Dive every Tuesday at A eight thirty. Today, the retired
Speaker 1: lieutenant colonel will discuss Russia, Belarus and Georgia might even
Speaker 1: have to throw at him the whole idea of russ
Speaker 1: is ruble currency deteriorating and see if that has any
Speaker 1: implication and impact. And finally, my friends from OHC, the
Speaker 1: cancer specialists, today we will talk about blood cancers. Oh
Speaker 1: what a coincidence since I have a lymphoma diagnosis. Anyway,
Speaker 1: That'll be at eight forty five, and I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to that. Always very interesting with OHC and actually uplifting
Speaker 1: from my perspective, learning about the new treatments that are
Speaker 1: out there and the progress we were making and getting
Speaker 1: closer and closer to I think a broader cure for cancer.
Speaker 1: It's something I look forward to. So having OHC back
Speaker 1: on the program at the tail end of the program
Speaker 1: in eight forty five, I hope you can be around
Speaker 1: for that. Remember when you can't be around for it,
Speaker 1: always your code of fifty five carec dot com, get
Speaker 1: your podcasts and get your iHeart media apps. You can
Speaker 1: stream the audio wherever you happen to be, and you
Speaker 1: can always feel free to call five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 1: to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
Speaker 1: Is I like to always call it standing on the
Speaker 1: shoulder of giants? And there are so many op ed
Speaker 1: pieces and houses and discussions of the wise, the wherefores
Speaker 1: and what will this mean? In connection with Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: well seemingly last minute decision to change his mind. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe it had been planned for a long time. It's
Speaker 1: good to be Hunter Biden, headlined today in the op
Speaker 1: ed piece by William mcgern. As he points out, no
Speaker 1: one was surprised Sunday evening when Joe Biden wanted officially
Speaker 1: he was pardoning his son. Surprised was the statement that
Speaker 1: the President issued along with a pardon. He blamed his
Speaker 1: political opponents in Congress for the woes facing Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1: Mcgern observes that some will empathize with the father doing
Speaker 1: what he can keep his son out of prison. Maybe,
Speaker 1: but fast forwarding in the op ed. But what is
Speaker 1: striking about the President's statement is that it speaks of
Speaker 1: writing a wrong done to Hunter, not extending mercy to
Speaker 1: a man who suffered enough with his own wrongdoing. It'd
Speaker 1: be illuminating to see if similar empathy is extended to
Speaker 1: those imprisoned for actions at the Capitol on January sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Going back to Tim Rivers, American Gulag
Speaker 1: chronicles joining the program later, if Donald Trump issues pardons,
Speaker 1: some of them committed violent acts, but some were given
Speaker 1: sentences that were excessive. To repurpose Joe Biden's words about
Speaker 1: his son quote, no reasonable person who looks at the
Speaker 1: facts could reach any other conclusion close quote true. How
Speaker 1: different the conversation today is from a few months ago
Speaker 1: when Biden calculated that even talking about a pardon might
Speaker 1: cost him the reelection. Remember, folks, Joe Biden was still
Speaker 1: running for president when he uttered the statements that he
Speaker 1: would not pardon his son. Right, he was still a
Speaker 1: well some would argue, a viable candidate. That wasn't me,
Speaker 1: And props to the listener who gave me credit for
Speaker 1: calling it in advance that Joe Biden would not be
Speaker 1: the presidential nominee. I called the date wrong when I
Speaker 1: first made that pronouncement, I said they pulled the plug
Speaker 1: on Joe Biden before December of last year. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: it took a lot longer than that, but they still
Speaker 1: pulled the plug on. So I guess I can chalk
Speaker 1: one up in the at least partial win category for
Speaker 1: my ta leaf reading. Ignoring that though, but remember he
Speaker 1: was a candidate at the time, he said he would
Speaker 1: not pardon his son. Interview on ABC News in June
Speaker 1: while Hunter's trial was going on, David, you're, as the
Speaker 1: president if he would accept the jury's outcome, their verdict,
Speaker 1: no matter what it is. Biden. Yes. The follow up
Speaker 1: by mirror and have you ruled out a pardon for
Speaker 1: your son? Biden response yes. One week later, after the
Speaker 1: jury found Hunter guilty, the president was again asked by reporters,
Speaker 1: this is the Group of Seven summit nintally quote. I said,
Speaker 1: I'd abide by the jury to decision, and I will
Speaker 1: do that. I will not pardon him. That's a quote.
Speaker 1: Miss mcgerrn observes. All that was missing was I give
Speaker 1: you my word as a Biden and no one believed
Speaker 1: him as mcgarn points out everyone knew the promise was
Speaker 1: meant only to bury the issue through election day. The
Speaker 1: idea that he came up with a decision to pardon
Speaker 1: Hunter for Thanksgiving holiday doesn't pass the smell test. It
Speaker 1: was always going to happen if Hunter face the real
Speaker 1: prospect of jail time, and everybody knew it, especially Hunter.
Speaker 1: President Biden's promised not to pardon his son was the
Speaker 1: only wasn't the only whopper He's told He denied meeting
Speaker 1: Hunter overseas business associates, when in fact he did. He
Speaker 1: also insisted during the twenty twenty presidential debate that when
Speaker 1: with mister Trump, that Hunter had taken no money from China,
Speaker 1: something Hunter later admitted to doing in federal court. Many
Speaker 1: were happy to joined the president in the Hunter falsehood.
Speaker 1: Most notorious the fifty one former intelligence officials, mostly veterans
Speaker 1: of the Obama administration, who tried to ward off honest
Speaker 1: reporting about Hunter's laptop. They jumped in right after The
Speaker 1: New York Posts verified the laptop's providence in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: The paper had reported the incriminating emails amount Hunter's sordid
Speaker 1: business dealings in Ukraine counts in weasel words that they
Speaker 1: knew would be lost in the reporting. The fifty one
Speaker 1: declared the email's head quote all the classic earmarks of
Speaker 1: a Russian information operation. Wells quote we now know. The
Speaker 1: statement was ginned up at the suggestion of Anthony Blncoln,
Speaker 1: the future Secretary of State, who was then working for
Speaker 1: the Biden campaign. The stated is dated October nineteenth, twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and it worked during his final presidential debate three days later,
Speaker 1: Biden's side of the fifty one without caveats when Trump
Speaker 1: brought up what he called the Laptop from Hell. Biden's
Speaker 1: response said, the former national intelligence folks that said the
Speaker 1: laptop emails were a bunch of garbage Biden's words. This
Speaker 1: was less than two weeks before the election, by the
Speaker 1: time the truth finally caught up with the story Biden's president.
Speaker 1: Same goes for Biden's claim that the justice system has
Speaker 1: been infected by raw politics. In Hunter, Biden's case, the
Speaker 1: president is right, but not in the way he pretends.
Speaker 1: Attorney General Mary Garland presided over a Justice department that
Speaker 1: at every turn gave Hunter kid glove treatment, including letting
Speaker 1: the statute limitations expire for the most serious tax evasion
Speaker 1: charges against Hunter, also including a sweetheart plea deal designed
Speaker 1: to bury the whole affair until Judge Marilyn Norieka asked
Speaker 1: some basic questions in court that the prosecution just couldn't answer.
Speaker 1: Then mister Garland elevated the man who orchestrated this sweetheart
Speaker 1: deal to special counsel. The pardon is the only the
Speaker 1: latest the Biden promises broken. It was timed to present
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's sentencing scheduled for December twelfth on the gun
Speaker 1: charges and December sixteenth on the tax charges. The expansive
Speaker 1: breadth of the pardon, which lets Hunter skate not only
Speaker 1: on the crimes he was convicted of, but on any
Speaker 1: he may have committed in the past almost eleven years,
Speaker 1: indicates the President may be worried about other Hunter criminal
Speaker 1: activities coming to light. President likes to say, especially when
Speaker 1: moralizing about Trump, no one is above the law. When
Speaker 1: asked Monday about the president's clearly broken promises not to
Speaker 1: pardon Hunter, I love this. White House Press Secretary Kreeen
Speaker 1: Jean Pierre said her boss has all always believed in being,
Speaker 1: in her words, truthful to the American people. That is
Speaker 1: perhaps the biggest live all and the most fitting end
Speaker 1: to the Biden presidency, well stated William mcgarden. One of
Speaker 1: just like a multitude of brilliantly written op ed pieces
Speaker 1: that serve as a wonderful springboard for conversation today, which
Speaker 1: I will enjoy having with you if you're going to
Speaker 1: give me a call five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eight two to three talk found five
Speaker 1: fifty on eight and t phones hang around with me.
Speaker 1: Right back, honey Field, and time for the nine first
Speaker 1: warning weather forecasts. What do we got going today? Partly
Speaker 1: cloudy start of the day, changing the mostly sunny skies.
Speaker 1: I have thirty four of a night with twenty three
Speaker 1: or the few clouds Tomorrow mostly cloudy, windy and high
Speaker 1: forty two overnight wintery mix snow twenty for the low.
Speaker 1: And on Thursday very sunny day took a high at
Speaker 1: twenty seven, which it's twenty two right now. Ififty five
Speaker 1: KRCD talk station, Oh, looking forward to six o'clock hour,
Speaker 1: hires some bread, weinstrip and the Wuhan you know, just
Speaker 1: the panel that's been investigating the coronavirus pandemic. They released
Speaker 1: their summer it's a five hundred and twenty page Repoard
Speaker 1: Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic makes me embarrassed to
Speaker 1: be a citizen of the United States of America. I
Speaker 1: think that's the first time I ever said those words
Speaker 1: out loud. We have been lied to and cheated and
Speaker 1: stolen from and it's just absolutely appalling, and it continues.
Speaker 1: Let me look at this one, Hunter Biden Thing five
Speaker 1: three seven fifty y two three talk listener lunch tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Price Chili Hoop to see you there. Last one of
Speaker 1: the year, going to be during our Christmas celebration. Bob
Speaker 1: Wetter the of course, the man behind the Wish Tree program.
Speaker 1: He's going to be there addressed as Santa Claus, or
Speaker 1: you can call him Santa Claus. I don't think he
Speaker 1: wants me to reveal his true identity tomorrow, So Santa
Speaker 1: Claus will be there, Wish Tree will be there. You
Speaker 1: can get an ornament and help out someone in need.
Speaker 1: Easy to do at price Heal Chili. Always enjoy the
Speaker 1: fellowship and looking forward to that, so put it down
Speaker 1: on your calendar. It's also, you know, interestingly enough, my
Speaker 1: how time flies. This is the forty fifth anniversary of
Speaker 1: the Who Concert tragedy forty five years. I had a
Speaker 1: friend who was there, older brother of a good friend
Speaker 1: of mine at the time, and I remember him talking
Speaker 1: about it. It was just the the intensity of the
Speaker 1: crowd and the pushing. He said, I could pick my
Speaker 1: feet up off the ground and the crowd would hold
Speaker 1: me up in the air. They were packed in so tightly,
Speaker 1: and of course if you had the misfortune of falling,
Speaker 1: it was impossible to get back up, which is how
Speaker 1: many people lost their lives. Basically suffocation, just terrible, terrible
Speaker 1: tragedy and the end of festival seating. Anyhow, I was
Speaker 1: thinking about more of these, the analysis of this Hunter
Speaker 1: Biden pardon on the heels of him saying over and
Speaker 1: over and over again that he wouldn't pardon his son.
Speaker 1: His son had been treated differently by the Justice Department
Speaker 1: and singled out because he was my son, and that
Speaker 1: is wrong that in the statement. But you were called
Speaker 1: the I R. S. Whistleblowers. This is really a profound point.
Speaker 1: You know that treated differently, Your damn right, Hunter Biden
Speaker 1: was treated differently. Whistleblowers. Gary Shapley h and others. They
Speaker 1: were there in front of the House Oversight Committee talking
Speaker 1: about how federal officials prevented the Agents and IRS whistleblower
Speaker 1: Gary Shapely from even interviewing Hunter Biden. They wouldn't let
Speaker 1: them follow up on their investigation. The point, but if
Speaker 1: Joe Biden thought the prosecution of his sons was unjust,
Speaker 1: why has he never uttered those words until now at
Speaker 1: the when he issued the pardon. Not once. I will
Speaker 1: not interfere with the judge. I will not interfere with
Speaker 1: the wheels of justice. I am not going to, you know, interfere.
Speaker 1: I'm going to honor whatever the jury determines. He never
Speaker 1: once said that this it was he was being treated
Speaker 1: poorly or singled out for prosecution, because all the facts
Speaker 1: suggest Hunter Biden got the pass of a lifetime. They
Speaker 1: let the statute limitations just expire on the most egregious offenses,
Speaker 1: the literally millions and millions of dollars that flowed into
Speaker 1: the Biden family. And that's why most people behind the
Speaker 1: scenes and people have been paying attention to this thing
Speaker 1: realized that this pardon was coming for miles and miles away.
Speaker 1: It's just the setting for the pardon doesn't match up
Speaker 1: with what Joe Biden said when he issued the pardon,
Speaker 1: he had a multitude of opportunities to say his son
Speaker 1: was being singled out. But but wait a second, Joe Biden, ers,
Speaker 1: what do you mean your son's being singled out? How
Speaker 1: is it that the irs was prevented from moving forward
Speaker 1: with its investigation of the millions of dollars that were
Speaker 1: flowing into all of these you know, corporations and sub
Speaker 1: corporations and LLC's and millions of dollars, the giant diamond
Speaker 1: that the former mayor of what was it Moscow or
Speaker 1: something gave him, the Chinese Communist Party money that flowed
Speaker 1: right into his pockets, and the coffers of the Biden family,
Speaker 1: all of that he had an opportunity to speak to
Speaker 1: about being unjustly targeted. But well, there's the facts and
Speaker 1: the evidence. I may as well keep my damn mouth
Speaker 1: shut and say, nope, it's never gonna happen. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to pardon if he did something wrong, I'm gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, just follow the law. Just this past center,
Speaker 1: after he was convicted a trial, Joe Biden rejected the
Speaker 1: idea of the pardon. I will accept the outcome of
Speaker 1: this case and will continue to respect the judicial process. Then,
Speaker 1: of course the statement on Sunday when he issued the
Speaker 1: pardon made it obvious that he well did not accept
Speaker 1: i'll come or respect the process. I like this observation
Speaker 1: and tried to James Freeman. What really was wrong was
Speaker 1: the way Joe Biden, his vice president, facilitated his family's
Speaker 1: foreign in Richmond schemes and then repeatedly made false claims
Speaker 1: about him. Maybe future memoirs will explain how the shady
Speaker 1: Biden cast collection ventures ever made it past the Obama
Speaker 1: White House General Counsel's office. The question that's remained unanswered
Speaker 1: for all these years and still remains unanswered what the
Speaker 1: various foreign oligarchs got in return for the millions of
Speaker 1: dollars they sent to the Biden family. It's an interesting
Speaker 1: question to ponder. Maybe you have an answer for that.
Speaker 1: We'll probably be waiting around for a long time before well,
Speaker 1: some book is written and we get a clear, definitive response.
Speaker 1: About twenty seven and fifty five Karsten Talk Station local
Speaker 1: stories coming up, Feel free to call got to stack
Speaker 1: a stupid coming up as well. Be right back after

Speaker 1: which full holiday spirit following Thanksgiving last week. So let
Speaker 1: us see here before we get the local stories. It's
Speaker 1: like I got Tom on the phone. Tom, welcome to
Speaker 1: the program, Thanks for calling this morning. Good to have
Speaker 1: you on the show.
Speaker 5: Hey, good, good morning, opportunity.
Speaker 1: To damn Tom. Hold on here, Yes, I just it's Tom.
Speaker 1: It's Democrat Tom. I haven't heard from you in so long.
Speaker 1: I didn't connect Tom on the call. Scream with you.
Speaker 5: I'm auri forgotten first time.
Speaker 1: No, miss your brother, it's been too long. Are you
Speaker 1: back on your old shift or is this just a no?
Speaker 5: No, I'm actually ja gonna take the day off today.
Speaker 5: But I went in and got the crew going and
Speaker 5: uh handed it over to everybody else said I'm out
Speaker 5: of here. I'm not dealing with this today.
Speaker 1: Well thanks for calling, man. I miss your voice.
Speaker 5: I missed calling in.
Speaker 6: Trust me.
Speaker 5: Uh everybody everybody else gets to hear it. They're going
Speaker 5: to hear it regardless of whether I call it anyway.
Speaker 5: So I did want to throw my two cents. And
Speaker 5: I know we're like a month late, you know, after
Speaker 5: the election, but uh, I was nauseously relieved for the results.
Speaker 5: And I'm gonna keep hammering this point to everybody that
Speaker 5: I talked to. Uh, it's not time to let off
Speaker 5: the gas. It's not time to celebrate spike the football. Nothing.
Speaker 5: We If you just pay attention to the reactions of
Speaker 5: a lot of Democrats and liberals. They're not giving up. No,
Speaker 5: they're they're not quitting. I mean, what was that guy,
Speaker 5: David Jolly the other day he was on I don't
Speaker 5: forget what show he's on. I saw the clip of him.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 5: They're gonna double and triple down.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 5: They they're convinced that they're right, uh, and that their
Speaker 5: way of doing things is correct, and they're convinced that
Speaker 5: everything about Trump is wrong. And so there's no reason
Speaker 5: to let up. There's no reason for them to stop.
Speaker 5: So therefore, we got to stay at our game, and
Speaker 5: we got to make sure that we're talking to people
Speaker 5: and continue to And I think one of the biggest
Speaker 5: factors that helped with the election is people just more
Speaker 5: aware of the bs that's going on from the Democrats
Speaker 5: and how much their policies are ruining the country. It's
Speaker 5: not racism, it's not sexism, it's their policies suck. It's
Speaker 5: just that that that's just what it comes down to.
Speaker 5: And more and more people are realizing it, and they're
Speaker 5: fed up with it, and they want to change, and
Speaker 5: they want they want Hey, look, maybe we don't like
Speaker 5: the way this guy talks or his personality. But come on,
Speaker 5: we cannot keep giving our money away. We cannot keep
Speaker 5: letting people steal our money and and taking away our
Speaker 5: freedoms and rights and all that. We can't keep letting
Speaker 5: that happen. So we got to keep it up. We
Speaker 5: got to, you know, continue to talk, share with people
Speaker 5: the information that we have, and keep revealing all the
Speaker 5: crap that these Democrats are pulling on everybody. And we
Speaker 5: got to make sure we tell everybody continually, all the time,
Speaker 5: every time, especially when elections coming up. Hey, it's less
Speaker 5: than two years. We got a very razor thin margin
Speaker 5: in the House, so we got to make sure we
Speaker 5: tell everybody, don't vote Democrats.
Speaker 1: Have a great day, Tom, fantastic hearing from you. And Yes,
Speaker 1: another observation you are channeling, I think the opinions of
Speaker 1: many people who are paying attention to the fact that
Speaker 1: the GOP barely won the House. Yes, going back to
Speaker 1: another editorial, another message is that the GOP is about
Speaker 1: a year to get anything done. If midterm history is
Speaker 1: any guide, the party is likely to lose the House
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, and the partisan Senate map is
Speaker 1: challenging the GOP. A better pass legislation at once in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, before member attention turns to political survival
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. Yes, the elections barely even over,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about that. It's going to require House
Speaker 1: Republicans in particular to stick together as they haven't in years,
Speaker 1: and will that happen? And I turned back to yesterday
Speaker 1: and my observations about the Green New Deal, which Donald
Speaker 1: Trump campaigned on getting rid of the multi, multi, multi
Speaker 1: trillion dollar boon doggle that so many Republican states are
Speaker 1: also benefiting from. So oh gosh, darn it. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we here was in North Dakota. We can't get rid
Speaker 1: of that. We want to do carbon capture and our
Speaker 1: state's going to make two hundred plus million dollars over
Speaker 1: overstoring carbon carbon dioxide, folks. And that's going to happen,
Speaker 1: and it's going to piss me off the no end.
Speaker 1: I'll be bold enough to say that in the five
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, I am already upset and angry over what
Speaker 1: I know is going to be the political reality. The
Speaker 1: money is too big and too fat, The boon doggles
Speaker 1: are in place, and those Republicans who ran on getting
Speaker 1: rid of all this nonsense are going to backpedal as
Speaker 1: soon as they realize. Oh no, oh, my state's going
Speaker 1: to suffer financial because I don't buy this crap that
Speaker 1: we have been selling. As a matter of principle, I
Speaker 1: refuse to abide by the idea that I'm breathing our
Speaker 1: our globe into into oblivion. But no, I want to
Speaker 1: do carbon capture in my state because we're gonna get
Speaker 1: a lot of taxpayer dollars. So we're just we're just
Speaker 1: not going to repeal that provision. We're gonna continue to
Speaker 1: burn corn in our gas tanks for reasons completely unknown,
Speaker 1: but all predicated on that lie that I just mentioned.
Speaker 1: But no, because my state's gonna suffer, and the farmers
Speaker 1: in my state are gonna hurt because we won't subsidize
Speaker 1: their growth of food, which the globe needs anyway. Oh,
Speaker 1: can you hear the anger in my voice? Don't go away,
Speaker 1: be right back. Got to stack of stupid coming.
Speaker 3: Out as we embrace the end of an eraor the
Speaker 3: outcome of this election is not what we want.
Speaker 1: To defeat, does not mean we are defeated. There's plenty
Speaker 1: to celebrate this season I'm mixed at it. Hopefully this
Speaker 1: isn't the last time I call in feeling this good.
Speaker 1: I'm happy about everything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he's got a great game of people
Speaker 6: around him.
Speaker 1: I just want the man protected.
Speaker 9: I am so excited about the potential to change his government.
Speaker 7: And the conversation's happening here, it's really exciting.

Speaker 1: enjoyed hearing from and of course his message always resonates
Speaker 1: wonderfully with my listening audience.
Speaker 11: And yes, uh myself and my lovely Brian will be
Speaker 11: there and if you have difficulty finding me, I'll be
Speaker 11: the one in the holiday Blazer, So I know that Blazer.
Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing it at Christmas time every year.
Speaker 1: So and you know you and I are going to
Speaker 1: have to get that game in because apparently the listener
Speaker 1: lunch is on the same day as the iHeartMedia Christmas Party,
Speaker 1: which starts at three o'clock here in the studio areas,
Speaker 1: and I have promised to be there, so I may
Speaker 1: be late in getting here because it is all the
Speaker 1: way across town. But whatever, my problem's not yours. At
Speaker 1: any event, We're going to play, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: try to kick your butt. I'll promise you I'll try
Speaker 1: absolutely as we all do.
Speaker 11: Before I get to my point real quick, when you
Speaker 11: mentioned the Who tragedy, Yeah, my younger sister, who was
Speaker 11: eighteen at the time, was one of the thousand people
Speaker 11: that went in on the opposite side of the arena,
Speaker 11: So no idea what had taken place. And if you
Speaker 11: can and may have plans to go out after the concert,
Speaker 11: so you can imagine that like my parents went through,
Speaker 11: as well as one hundred of other parents when my
Speaker 11: sister finally got home at like one two in the morning,
Speaker 11: and just the relief because the genesis was they were
Speaker 11: late starting their warm upset and when the people outside
Speaker 11: heard the music, they thought the concert had start exactly.
Speaker 1: Just unbelievable.
Speaker 11: I can't believe it's been forty five years already. Getting
Speaker 11: to Hunter once again to emphasize what you said about
Speaker 11: the special treatment, that yes, he did get special treatment,
Speaker 11: but not in the way Uncle Joe wanted us to
Speaker 11: believe yesterday. Working in the casino industry, we deal with
Speaker 11: suspicious activity reports almost on a daily basis, because the
Speaker 11: magic threshold is ten thousand dollars either in or out.
Speaker 11: You got to have your name, address, and social Security number,
Speaker 11: and there's a lot of ways in the casino industry
Speaker 11: if you are actually laundering money to try and circumvent that.
Speaker 11: So we like banks, have to submit suspicious activity reports
Speaker 11: to what is called FINSEN, what is the Financial Crime
Speaker 11: Enforcement Network of the US government. He had hundreds, if
Speaker 11: not thousands of those because of the sloppy money laundering
Speaker 11: that the grind of Biden crime family did throughout the
Speaker 11: world and all these transactions. So, yes, uncle Joe, he
Speaker 11: was treated properly because he should be behind bars.
Speaker 5: But do the pardon.
Speaker 11: But to throw that narrative on yesterday was just once again.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, ridiculous and insulting to any human being who's paid
Speaker 1: even a measure of attention to the facts as they've
Speaker 1: unfolded over the past couple of years. Absolutely, it's and
Speaker 1: I even I think I said this out a lot
Speaker 1: to someone yesterday on the program or is after it.
Speaker 1: I mean that they have the audacity he or the
Speaker 1: people who wrote this statement, have the audacity to suggest
Speaker 1: that somehow he was picked on because.
Speaker 2: Of who he is.
Speaker 1: And when you see how the kid gloves that they
Speaker 1: that they treated him with throughout the entire process, the
Speaker 1: slow walking of the investigation, everything, and then to come
Speaker 1: out and say that he was picked on, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: just appalled. And is that them telling us like you,
Speaker 1: specifically Mike and and others who have paid attention and
Speaker 1: remember these facts, that we're all idiots, We're all we
Speaker 1: are so dumb. They assume that we are so dumb
Speaker 1: that we don't remember any of this. That's the audacity
Speaker 1: that they have. And I'm just I am so insulted
Speaker 1: by it. I don't know how other I don't know
Speaker 1: how else to put.
Speaker 11: It, But there are so millions of voters this year,
Speaker 11: we're able to connect the dots once again of how
Speaker 11: they treat us and talk down to us, and I
Speaker 11: hope this will be once again another piece of the
Speaker 11: puzzle in two years. As Tom mentioned, how critical the
Speaker 11: House is to once again reaffirm once again that elite status.
Speaker 11: Just vote for us, don't just believe what we tell you,
Speaker 11: and what you're going to emphasize here in this Wuhan
Speaker 11: report once again to just affect the how not only
Speaker 11: bending the truth, but just.
Speaker 1: Flat out lying to the flat out lying. It's just
Speaker 1: it's it's that's why I said them earlier in this
Speaker 1: segment that I'm almost in arras to say, I'm a
Speaker 1: United States citizen. I just am appalled by the lies,
Speaker 1: absolute outright lies. I've always been appalled by the fraud, waste,
Speaker 1: and abuse. And there's a whole bunch that I've got
Speaker 1: to go over with. You mentioned that Wuhan report that
Speaker 1: came out. I'm gonna get into the details on that
Speaker 1: aft top of the hour, but literally billions and billions
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars completely unaccounted for, and you kind
Speaker 1: of wonder, I wonder whose pockets that money landed in. Hmmm.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call, my friend, look forward to seeing tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I got to take a break. It is five forty six.
Speaker 1: Get back with a call. Got Bobby online? You can
Speaker 1: feel free to call and also have a stack of
Speaker 1: stupid that I haven't touched yet. I'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Do you hear a lot of voices on the radio?
Speaker 1: Sum are happy?
Speaker 9: So I'm not happy with you right now?
Speaker 1: How many are angry?
Speaker 7: So very angry?
Speaker 1: And discuss it at all are heard? Will yours be
Speaker 1: one of them? Fifty five drs the talk station start

Speaker 10: and advanced searge of co expertise called five one three,
Speaker 10: nine three nine two two sixty three. It's ninety three
Speaker 10: nine twenty two sixty three. Highways are in great shape
Speaker 10: early on this Tuesday morning. No accidents to deal with
Speaker 10: they're as of yet, but there is we're wrecked with
Speaker 10: injuries on Harvey at King. That intersection is completely blocked off.
Speaker 10: Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 1: Five fifty one fifty five kr CD talk station. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go straight to the phones. Forget the stack's too.
Speaker 1: I've got Bobby on the line, who's kind of enough
Speaker 1: to hold over the break. Bobby, Happy Tuesday to you,
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday, my brother. Good to speak with you. A yeah,
Speaker 1: always good to hear from you. What's on your mind today,
Speaker 1: my friend?
Speaker 6: Well, we all know about the forty five years with
Speaker 6: the WHO, but yeah, we won't have any more festival seating,
Speaker 6: you know because of that.
Speaker 1: One thing that is correct.
Speaker 6: And next thing is Falci. You know you got the
Speaker 6: new Wuhan report came out. I'm just wondering why he
Speaker 6: still has a six thousand, excuse me, six million dollar
Speaker 6: security detail on it. I have to leave an office
Speaker 6: for a couple.
Speaker 1: Of years, probably because they knew the details that came
Speaker 1: out yesterday would be revealed at some point.
Speaker 6: The next thing is the best one. Did you have
Speaker 6: a good Thanksgiving weekend.
Speaker 1: Kidding me, Bobby, I had. I was like a pig,
Speaker 1: and you know what, just enjoyed the hell out of
Speaker 1: it and the highlight. Not to discount my family and
Speaker 1: the love and the embracing of all things holiday related.
Speaker 1: But taking a break from that blankety blank keto diet
Speaker 1: and fully enjoying a full spread on Thanksgiving was like
Speaker 1: manna from heaven. Oh my god, it was so awesome.
Speaker 1: I swear I got stoned off off the pump carfee
Speaker 1: pecan pie. It was amazing.
Speaker 6: I got stoned also, my brother. I tell you I
Speaker 6: went to a party. It was multicultural, multi political. But
Speaker 6: I tell you what, I've spent the best thirty eight
Speaker 6: dollars there spent in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm glad.
Speaker 6: There's nothing better than dust and open a bottle of
Speaker 6: Trump wine in front of a bunch of livers.
Speaker 1: Well, you engaged in a little politicking. I think one
Speaker 1: of the nice things about the celebration on Thanksgiving for
Speaker 1: us not an utterance. Not a single syllable was said
Speaker 1: about politics, and we all had plenty to talk about.
Speaker 1: We all smiled, enjoyed each other's company, told stories, and
Speaker 1: no words. No that the t word, The Trump word
Speaker 1: was never mentioned, the E word, the election word was
Speaker 1: never mentioned. Nothing of Republicans or Democrats. Just enjoyable conversation, Bobby.
Speaker 1: Great hearing from you today, brother, Always pleasure anyhow, and
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. All props to my son. I
Speaker 1: will not mention names except to note that my son
Speaker 1: did the right thing and bit his tongue. One person
Speaker 1: at the table mentioned they were going to get their
Speaker 1: multiple vaccines, one of which was you can get a
Speaker 1: flu vaccine, get a COVID vaccine, you can get a
Speaker 1: shingles vaccine. It was the trifecta of vaccines that one
Speaker 1: person mentioned that they were going to get, and my
Speaker 1: son wisely bit his tongue and did not say anything
Speaker 1: in reference to the COVID vaccine. We've got a lot
Speaker 1: to talk about at the top of the outer news
Speaker 1: on that, and let's get to a stack of stupid
Speaker 1: real quick here. After allegedly swiping a van, which she
Speaker 1: later sold for scrap, the Minnesota woman made it incriminating
Speaker 1: entry into a personal journal. Police charge. Quote Vanessa Guerrera
Speaker 1: in her journal personal journal, totally stole a car today
Speaker 1: exclamation points something I've never thought of doing. F wording
Speaker 1: super freaking out about it. Close quote investigator's alleged at
Speaker 1: the thirty year old Guerrera made that written admission of
Speaker 1: guilt on the same August day that a Brown County
Speaker 1: man reported his two thousand and four to four two
Speaker 1: thousand and four Ford Free Star was stolen. Idiots doing
Speaker 1: idiot things because they're idiots. That'd be a statement against
Speaker 1: interest if I recall my criminal law classes. Van where
Speaker 1: two grand later sold for scrap and salvage business at
Speaker 1: a neighborhood Blue Earth County, where Guerrera resides. Witnesses at
Speaker 1: the auto salvage business stated that Guerrera had bought, brought
Speaker 1: the van in, and then sold it to him, according
Speaker 1: to the criminal complaint. During the audit theft pro Brown
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office, investigator was able to locate a journal
Speaker 1: belonging to Guerrera containing her written exclamation that she totally
Speaker 1: stole the car. Today. When contacted by the investigator, she
Speaker 1: denied knowing that the vehicle was stolen. Recently worked at
Speaker 1: as a door dash driver and now been charged with
Speaker 1: a paraphilon who's receiving stolen property in theft. Previously been
Speaker 1: convicted of driving with a suspended license and driving without insurance.
Speaker 1: In June, she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft, sentenced to
Speaker 1: a brief stand in the County Joe and placed on
Speaker 1: unsupervised probation for a year. Not much of a criminal
Speaker 1: record on that one, but you know it is a
Speaker 1: statement against interest. Most people are not inclined to make those.
Speaker 1: Coming up on five efty sixty five Kirsteve Talks Station,
Speaker 1: the report is out. It is a damning indictment of
Speaker 1: all things COVID related. That the final report from the
Speaker 1: Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you, Congressman Brad Winster,
Speaker 1: while you're still Congressman for putting it all together and
Speaker 1: issuing the statement. We've got some details to dive on into,
Speaker 1: some of which you will find absolutely appalling. I'll be
Speaker 1: right back after the top of the air news There
Speaker 1: we got again another US updates.
Speaker 12: We're going to get all the.
Speaker 7: Facts, an ear full of impromation at.
Speaker 11: The top of the hour.
Speaker 1: Break it down fast fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 1: What's up? Yup to Welcome Wagan. I want to welcome you,
Speaker 1: especially if you think differently weekdays at nine krs. It's
Speaker 1: six oh six. Here a fifty five kr CD talk station.
Speaker 1: Bran Thomas wishing you're very happy Tuesday. Looking for tomorrow listener,
Speaker 1: lunch Price Hill chilling, and it is, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: I've been for it has been forty five years since
Speaker 1: the Hoop Concert tragedy, so everybody's got their own recollection.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the Beverly Hill Supper Club. Obviously
Speaker 1: a far more tragic event, if you want to know
Speaker 1: way tragedy, but wow, to me, it's the passage of
Speaker 1: time that is really truly mind blowing. Anywall also mind blowing.
Speaker 1: And I mentioned I wanted to get into this and
Speaker 1: thank God for summaries because since we just came out
Speaker 1: yesterday a five hundred and twenty page final report from
Speaker 1: the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic titled After Action
Speaker 1: Review of the COVID nineteen Pandemic, Lessons Earned and a
Speaker 1: Path Forward. Concresson wentz Orbusius the state, and they'll give
Speaker 1: you that in just a moment. They looked at more
Speaker 1: than one hundred They issued more than one hundred investigative letters,
Speaker 1: thirty transcribed interviews and depositions, twenty five hearings, in meetings,
Speaker 1: more than one million pages of documents reviewed, and came
Speaker 1: up with some unbelievably damning conclusions. Concresson wentzriup in a
Speaker 1: letter to Congress, the work will help the United States
Speaker 1: and the world predict the next pandemic, prepare for the
Speaker 1: next pandemic, protect ourselves from the next pandemic, and hopefully
Speaker 1: prevent the next pandemic. Hold on sneeze button. That time.
Speaker 1: Members of the one hundred nineteenth Congress should continue to
Speaker 1: build off this work. There is more information to find
Speaker 1: and honest actions to be taken. The COVID nineteen pandemic
Speaker 1: highlighted a disttrust in leadership. Trust is earned. Accountability, Transparency, honesty,
Speaker 1: and integrity will regain this trust. A future pandemic requires
Speaker 1: a whole of America response, managed by those without personal
Speaker 1: benefit or bias. We can always do better, and for
Speaker 1: the sake of future generations of Americans, we must. It
Speaker 1: can be done. Okay, here we go. The origins. Remember
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci came from a bat cave or whatever. A
Speaker 1: wet market note wrong report concludes likely emerged from the
Speaker 1: Wuhan Instituti Virology and five reasons for that. One, the
Speaker 1: virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
Speaker 1: Data shows that all COVID nineteen cases stem from a
Speaker 1: single introduction into humans running contrary to previous pandemics where
Speaker 1: there were multiple spillover events. Wuhan home to China's foremost
Speaker 1: Stars research lab, which has a history of conducting gain
Speaker 1: of function research and at inadequate biosafety levels. Wuhan Institudivirology
Speaker 1: researchers were sick with COVID like virus in the fall
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, months before COVID nineteen was discovered at
Speaker 1: the wet market, and finally, by nearly all measures of science,
Speaker 1: there was evidence of a natural origin. It would have
Speaker 1: already surfaced and it never has. There was a proximal
Speaker 1: origin publication used primarily and repeatedly by public health officials
Speaker 1: in the media to discredit the lab leak theory, and
Speaker 1: that was prompted by doctor Fauci to profos his preferred narrative,
Speaker 1: in other words, trying to get away from the idea
Speaker 1: that we funded gain of function research at the Wuhan
Speaker 1: Institute Verrology that unleashed this pandemic on the planet, and
Speaker 1: they concluded it was most likely yes, the origin of
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen gain of function research. Current government mechanisms for
Speaker 1: overseeing this dangerous research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack
Speaker 1: global applicability, lacks standards. Do you remember EcoHealth wiance Yeah,
Speaker 1: out of leadership with doctor Peter D. Day's act using
Speaker 1: your earnings in the form of tax payer dollars to
Speaker 1: facilitate dangerous gain a function rehearch research at the Wuhont
Speaker 1: Institute of Virology, and after selects, the subcommittee released evidence
Speaker 1: of EcoHealth violating the terms of its National Institutes of
Speaker 1: Health grant, which said you can't do this. The US
Speaker 1: Department of Health and Human Services commenced official disbar or
Speaker 1: debarment proceedings and suspended all funding of eco Health. That's
Speaker 1: rather danding, isn't it. The Department of Justice apparently is
Speaker 1: open an investigation the Ecohealth's pandemic era activities also, so
Speaker 1: maybe there'll be a prosecution down the road. One can
Speaker 1: only pray for that accountability. National Institute for Health failures
Speaker 1: NIH procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable,
Speaker 1: posing serious health threats to public and national security. Further,
Speaker 1: the report conclude the NIH fostered an environment that promoted
Speaker 1: evading federal record keeping laws, as seen through the actions
Speaker 1: of doctor David Morrins, among others. Apologies for my voice
Speaker 1: this morning, folks, I truly apologize for that. And then
Speaker 1: you get into the response the COVID nineteen funding and
Speaker 1: all of the fraud, waste and abuse and just outright
Speaker 1: criminal activity related to that. Federal and states governments had
Speaker 1: significant lapses in coordination, were unprepared to oversee the allocation
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen relief funds, failed to sufficiently identified waste, fraud,
Speaker 1: and abuse of taxpayer dollars during the pandemic on multiple layers.
Speaker 1: I might point out, for example, the Paycheck of Protection
Speaker 1: program purportedly offering a central relief to Americans in the
Speaker 1: form of loans that could be forgiven if the funds
Speaker 1: were used to offset pandemic era hardship. The committee concluded
Speaker 1: it was rife with fraud claims resulting in at least
Speaker 1: sixty four billion, with a bee of taxpayer dollars loss
Speaker 1: to fraudsters and criminals. Unemployment, claims fraudsters cost the American
Speaker 1: taxpayer more than one hundred and ninety one billion dollars
Speaker 1: by taking advantage of the federal government's unemployment system and
Speaker 1: exploiting individuals personally identifiable information. The SBA, the Small Business
Speaker 1: Administration failures two hundred million taxpayer dollars lost as a
Speaker 1: result of the SBA's inability to conduct proper oversight, implement
Speaker 1: internal controls, and ensure fraud protection measures were enacted. And
Speaker 1: see that's this is something that you can just really
Speaker 1: conclude at the outset of any massive government program. Let
Speaker 1: me interject my thoughts on that if you've got a
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar, multi billion dollar program, there is no way
Speaker 1: in God's green earth that our government can keep track
Speaker 1: of the dollars and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. Its
Speaker 1: just impossible. And here's a multitude of illustrations here just
Speaker 1: relating to COVID nineteen spending. They concluded at least half
Speaker 1: a taxpayer dollars lost in COVID nineteen relief programs were stolen,
Speaker 1: stolen outright by international fraudsters. COVID nineteen relief funding oversight,
Speaker 1: the expanding relief programs that lacked proper oversight functions exposed
Speaker 1: severe vulnerabilities in the system, paving the way for fraudsters,
Speaker 1: international criminals, and foreign adversaries to take advantage of you,
Speaker 1: the American tax payer. Turning to the World Health Organization,
Speaker 1: Health Organization's response to COVID nineteen pandemic, they described as
Speaker 1: an abject failure because it came, oh all, this is shocking.
Speaker 1: It caved a pressure from the Chinese Communist Party in
Speaker 1: placed China's political interest ahead of its international duties. Report
Speaker 1: also concludes the World Health Organization's effort to solve the
Speaker 1: problems were exacerbated by the COVID nineteen pamic via a
Speaker 1: Pandemic Treaty, the newest effort anyway, and concluded it may
Speaker 1: harm the United States of America. Social distancing. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: all remember standing six feet apart. In fact, it was
Speaker 1: at doctor's office, not that long ago. They still have
Speaker 1: the tape on the floor at six foot increments. I've
Speaker 1: even asked them about that. You guys ever going to
Speaker 1: remove the tape? Oh oh, we forgot that was there
Speaker 1: six foot apart Social Distancing recommendation, which literally shut down
Speaker 1: schools and small businesses everywhere. They conclude it was arbitrary,
Speaker 1: not based in science, and during closed door testimony, doctor
Speaker 1: Fauci testified that the guidance quote sort of just appeared
Speaker 1: close quote, and I imagine it just appeared right out
Speaker 1: of his own personal sphincter mask mandates. I've been harping
Speaker 1: on that since the whole thing came out. They concluded
Speaker 1: there was no conclusive evidence that ask effectively protecting Americans
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen public health officials flip flopped on the
Speaker 1: efficacy of mass without providing American scientific data, causing a
Speaker 1: massive uptick in public distrust. Rightfully, so you got lied
Speaker 1: to lockdowns. Prolonged lockdowns cause immeasurable harm not only do
Speaker 1: the American economy, but also the mental and physical health
Speaker 1: of Americans, with a particularly negative effect on younger citizens.
Speaker 1: Rather than prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable populations,
Speaker 1: federal and state government's policies forced millions of Americans to
Speaker 1: fore go crucial elements of a healthy and financially sound life.
Speaker 1: That's just scratching the surface. Folks got plenty more to
Speaker 1: mention on this one, including what I would conclude is
Speaker 1: actual outright criminal murder in New York City in New
Speaker 1: York State six fifteen fifty five KZO see the talk

Speaker 1: We're not at piece of the since I inquire about
Speaker 1: the pension liability that the cities Cincinnati's dealing with. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get the details from him again after top of
Speaker 1: the our news the meantime, back to the five hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty page report issued. Actually it's coming out officially today,
Speaker 1: but summary was issued yesterday regarding the Select Senates or
Speaker 1: the Select sub Committee on the coronavirus pandemic. They've been
Speaker 1: doing an investigation after two years on this and the
Speaker 1: conclusions they have reached are again damning. Going over to
Speaker 1: New York and this is I think call it outright criminal. Now,
Speaker 1: remember the COVID virus itself. The most likely people to
Speaker 1: succumb to the virus were what co morbid conditions, the elderly,
Speaker 1: the morbidly OBEs, those with cardiac problems. Right. Former New
Speaker 1: York Governor Andrew Crooma's March twenty fifth order forced nursing
Speaker 1: homes to accept COVID nineteen positive patients. The report concludes
Speaker 1: it was medical malpractice. Evidence shows that Cuoma and his
Speaker 1: administration worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of that
Speaker 1: decision in an effort to shield themselves from accountability. Evidence
Speaker 1: suggests Quomo knowingly and willfully their words, made false statements
Speaker 1: to the Select Subcommittee on numerous occasions about material aspects
Speaker 1: of New York's COVID nineteen nursing home disaster and the
Speaker 1: ensuing cover up. Select Subcommittee referred Quomo to the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice for criminal prosecution, and I can only hope
Speaker 1: that that happens. Travel restrictions, remember Donald Trump issued international
Speaker 1: travel restrictions. You know, we're going to keep this thing
Speaker 1: at bay. We're going to be importing people from you know, China.
Speaker 1: What do they call that? What do the Democrats call
Speaker 1: that at the time, do you remember it? Xenophobic? Doctor Fouci,
Speaker 1: in his transcribed interview under the questioning of this subcommittee,
Speaker 1: unequivocally agreed with every travel restriction that the Trump administration issued. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was the right thing to do, in spite of
Speaker 1: what you heard from the mainstream media and all the
Speaker 1: Democrats said, Oh mygad, Donald Trump's it's xena faed Why
Speaker 1: is he getting out? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: As far as COVID misinformation, public officials often spread misinformation
Speaker 1: through conflicting messaging, lack of transparency, and they say in
Speaker 1: the most egregious examples of pervasive misinformation campaign, off label
Speaker 1: drug use and the lab lak theory were unjustly demonized
Speaker 1: by the federal government. In fact, the Biden administration even
Speaker 1: employed und democratic and, as the subcommittee concludes, likely unconstitutional methods,
Speaker 1: including pressuring social media companies to censor certain COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: content to fight what it deemed misinformation, which really wasn't.
Speaker 1: Contrary to what was promised, COVID nineteen vaccine did not
Speaker 1: stop this thread or transmission of the virus. That was
Speaker 1: an easy conclusion. The FDA rushed approval of the COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen vaccine in order to meet the Biden administration's arbitrary
Speaker 1: mandate timeline. Two leading FDA scientists warned their colleagues about
Speaker 1: the dangers of rushing the vaccine approval process and the
Speaker 1: likelihood of adverse events. They were ignored, and days later,
Speaker 1: the Biden administration mandated the vaccine over to the vaccine mandates,
Speaker 1: they were not supported by science and caused more harm
Speaker 1: than good. The subcommittee concluded the Biden administration coursed healthy
Speaker 1: Americans in a compliance with the COVID nineteen vaccine mandates
Speaker 1: that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and disregarded medical
Speaker 1: freedom to force a novel vaccine on millions of Americans
Speaker 1: without sufficient evidence to support its policy decisions. Public officials
Speaker 1: also engaged in a coordinated effort to ignore the reality
Speaker 1: the biological reality of natural immunity acquired through previous COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen infection, which I have that ignored when they were
Speaker 1: developing their vaccine guidance and mandates. No, no, we're not
Speaker 1: going to consider the idea that you could even get
Speaker 1: vaccinatural immunity. Vaccine injury reporting systems created confusion failed to
Speaker 1: popularly inform the American public about vaccine injuries and deteriorated
Speaker 1: public trusts in vaccine safety during the COVID nineteen pandemic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be people. Well, I guess like teenagers dropping dead
Speaker 1: from myocarditis. Yeah, well, we're not going to pay attention
Speaker 1: to that. Business impact, federal and state governments imposed mandatory
Speaker 1: lockdowns that were the primary cause of temporary and permanent
Speaker 1: business closures. This is sad. More than one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty thousand businesses closed due to the pandemic, sixty percent
Speaker 1: of those closures classified as permanent. For the businesses that
Speaker 1: stayed or reopened, the lack of supply chain diversity exacerbated
Speaker 1: pandemic era challenges and deepened existing disparities. About halfway through
Speaker 1: with the summary of the conclusions, folks five three, seven, four,
Speaker 1: nine fifty five, eight hundred eight two to three talk
Speaker 1: not five fifty on AT and T phones. Care to comment?
Speaker 1: I will entertain these phone calls, but first, a strong
Speaker 1: recommendation to save money. Got a car that needs to
Speaker 1: be fixed? Is it from a traditional imported manufacturer from
Speaker 1: Asia or Europe? Or a tesla? Talking foreign exchange? Foreign Exchange,
Speaker 1: No La Tesla repair facility as well. And the great
Speaker 1: thing about Foreign Exchange and you know, getting your Tesla
Speaker 1: re faired, you'll enjoy the same benefits as folks that
Speaker 1: take their car there to get the imported cars fixed.
Speaker 1: With a full warranty on parts and service from an
Speaker 1: a S certified Master technician, you will save money. That's
Speaker 1: the point. Bottom line is your bottom line at Foreign Exchange.
Speaker 1: They're great people. You love working with them. You'd be
Speaker 1: glad they're worked on your car. You happily and confidently
Speaker 1: heading on home with a full warranty and more money
Speaker 1: in your pocket that had you taking it to the dealers.
Speaker 1: So for all things imported or Tesla's Foreign Exchange, Westchester,
Speaker 1: that's the location that I'm strongly recommending you go too.
Speaker 1: Just take the Tyler's little exit right off of seventy five,
Speaker 1: go east two streets, just a short jog hanging right
Speaker 1: on Kingland driving you are there and tell Austin the
Speaker 1: whole crew. Brian said, Hi, they're wonderful people. Uh five

Speaker 1: and our Christmas celebration. Bob Wetter with the Wish Tree
Speaker 1: will be there dressed to Santa Claus. And I'm just
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing everybody as we get closer and
Speaker 1: closer to Christmas. I'm going to take a phone call
Speaker 1: here before i do that, though, real quick, Jamie, let
Speaker 1: me just interject, because it is the forty fifth anniversary
Speaker 1: of the Who concert tragedy, and I brought that up earlier,
Speaker 1: and my buddy Jeff, and hello to the crew at
Speaker 1: mar Con Tool this morning. Jeff noted that one of
Speaker 1: the callers had pointed out the band was doing a
Speaker 1: late warm up and everybody outside thought the concert had started,
Speaker 1: and that's what sort of started the shoving and the
Speaker 1: pushing and resulted in all the tragedy. Jeff said, I
Speaker 1: was not at the entrance where the tragedy has occurred,
Speaker 1: but a high school friend of mine, Walt Tony, was there.
Speaker 1: He was one of the eleven that died that night.
Speaker 1: That's a sad, sad, sad story. Anyhow, Jeff, appreciate the
Speaker 1: anecdote and condolences on your loss forty five years ago.
Speaker 1: And even Jeff pointed out, I cannot believe it was
Speaker 1: that long ago, Jamie. Thanks for holding and welcome to
Speaker 1: the program.
Speaker 13: Hey, good morning, Brian. I just had a comment about
Speaker 13: the lovely COVID report you were reading from. I don't
Speaker 13: know if people understand that schools have adjusted their standards
Speaker 13: and grading scales and indicators for learning, and so the
Speaker 13: children are still feeling the effects of what happened during COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 13: and what it seems like is happening. They're wiping the slate,
Speaker 13: pretending like it didn't happen and pushing kids through when
Speaker 13: they are not learning what they need to be learning.
Speaker 1: Well, clearly, you know, it's an interesting way you put that,
Speaker 1: because it's almost as if COVID is a justification for
Speaker 1: allowing children to advance to the next grade when they
Speaker 1: haven't demonstrated sufficient learning skills to manage the material in
Speaker 1: the grade they're in. I mean, that's that's insane, And
Speaker 1: people justify this because of equity or whatever. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: how much possible good can you be doing a child
Speaker 1: by advancing them to the next grade level when they're
Speaker 1: failing at the one they're in. Oh well, COVID or
Speaker 1: equity or whatever, it doesn't make a witsworth of sense.
Speaker 1: It doesn't pass the smell test for a logic and
Speaker 1: reason standpoint, but it's a valid point.
Speaker 13: It's astounding, and I think, you know, I know in
Speaker 13: my local district the COVID money was spent on administrator positions,
Speaker 13: so the money did not go to directly support the kids.
Speaker 13: And second, they I don't understand how. I actually don't
Speaker 13: understand how the teachers are not pulling their hair out
Speaker 13: because they're the ones to keep getting the kids in
Speaker 13: their classrooms, say, in fourth grade, and their kids have
Speaker 13: not learned second and third grade content, and so it's
Speaker 13: so overwhelming that I don't think they can face it.
Speaker 13: They just they can't face the challenge of it all.
Speaker 13: And of course the children are that the ones who.
Speaker 1: Are suffering, absolutely, period, end of the story. There in
Speaker 1: lines the problem the children are suffering. And I've heard
Speaker 1: people defend the idea of allowing a child to advance
Speaker 1: from let's say third to fourth grade even though they
Speaker 1: haven't mastered the third grade level materials. Well, you don't
Speaker 1: know what it's like from a peer pressure standpoint for
Speaker 1: a child to deal with being held back. Well, you
Speaker 1: don't know what it's like. I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 1: the old John Wayne saying, you know, life is hard,
Speaker 1: it's harder if you're stupid. I mean, Lord Almighty, deal
Speaker 1: with the momentary lapse of you know, respector or or
Speaker 1: peer pressure whatever. Learn the materials and then build the
Speaker 1: building block foundation that allows you to move forward and
Speaker 1: advance and cope with and deal with life and it's
Speaker 1: challenges because you know reading, you know you're writing, and
Speaker 1: you know you're arithmetic, other subject matters that you gotta
Speaker 1: deal with. If you don't know them and you continue
Speaker 1: to move on, you will only fall further and further behind,
Speaker 1: obviously leading you to a life hooked up to the
Speaker 1: umbilical court of some social welfare program. Ah, drive me crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't understand the world we find ourselves in. I
Speaker 1: really don't, And you're right, it harms the children. There
Speaker 1: in lies the challenge which harms America in extraordinary ways.
Speaker 1: Six point thirty five. If you five KCD talk station
Speaker 1: more from that five hundred and twenty page report summary,
Speaker 1: and Mike is on the funnel, be happy to take
Speaker 1: Mike's calls. Well, but before I do any of that,
Speaker 1: I want to save you a lot of money and
Speaker 1: recommend you go to Affordable Medical Imaging or Affordable Imaging
Speaker 1: Services rather than get your imaging mrict scans that co cartograms,
Speaker 1: ultra sounds, lung screenings, and cardiac scorings all a literal
Speaker 1: tiny fraction of what the hospitals charge you. Hell, you
Speaker 1: can get a cardiac scoring or a lung screening for
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars. I don't think you can even walk
Speaker 1: into a hospital for ninety nine dollars. And here you
Speaker 1: get a scan that your doctor's ordered for ninety nine bucks,
Speaker 1: no ops, no extras, and the board certified radiologists report
Speaker 1: included in every scan they do. So, rather than pay
Speaker 1: five thousand plus or more dollars with a separate bill
Speaker 1: for a radiologist report, go to Affordable Imaging Services and
Speaker 1: get a CT scan without a contrast for four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty with a contrast six hundred huge price difference. Right,
Speaker 1: it's like ten percent of what a hospital charge. And
Speaker 1: it's still amazing. Because Affordable Imaging Services is a for
Speaker 1: profit entity, they're still making money and charging a fraction
Speaker 1: that gives you a great illustration of how much money
Speaker 1: the hospitals make on their imaging departments. You have a choice.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go to the hospital, go where
Speaker 1: you want. That's why I recommend Affordable Imaging Services. Been
Speaker 1: there myself, got a CT scan from them five on
Speaker 1: three seven five three eight thousand, five one three seven
Speaker 1: five three eight thousand. You can learn more online just
Speaker 1: go to Affordable Medimaging dot com.

Speaker 1: to make it happy anyway. Sunlight of disinfection coming out
Speaker 1: with the Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic results that
Speaker 1: I've been going through this morning here in the six
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. But before I get back to that, and
Speaker 1: I will address the last callers comments about school closures
Speaker 1: in the profound negative influence it had on our children's learning,
Speaker 1: Let's see what Mike Scott, he was kind of the
Speaker 1: hold over the break, Mike, Welcome to the program, Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 7: Hi, Brian talk.
Speaker 14: About the vaccine report saying that the were they're saying
Speaker 14: the vaccine where the code reports that the vaccine wasn't
Speaker 14: effective and they shouldn't have made a mandatory. That kind
Speaker 14: of helps Bobby Kennedy with his with everything. That's the
Speaker 14: one thing they're pointing like he was against the vaccine,
Speaker 14: like well, the reports against.
Speaker 1: The vaccine yep, and people who were against the vaccines
Speaker 1: were silenced. Facebook would pull your posts. Everybody in social
Speaker 1: media couldn't hear your voice, womb voice in the wilderness.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I didn't get the vaccine. I
Speaker 1: struggled with COVID. Mightily could have been because I was
Speaker 1: on cancer treatments at the time that I got such
Speaker 1: a bad case of it. Many people who have pointed
Speaker 1: to that one of the comorbid conditions, it would lead
Speaker 1: you having a more problematic episode of COVID.
Speaker 2: That was me.
Speaker 1: I ended up with more antibodies and you could shake
Speaker 1: a stick at After a year, I had myself tested
Speaker 1: and it was still like, no, you're immune. You know, okay,
Speaker 1: natural immunity is and was a thing back then, but
Speaker 1: you couldn't talk about that. Get your stick and get
Speaker 1: your jab because you know the pharmaceutical companies. You'll be
Speaker 1: able to hold them accountable if they go, oh no,
Speaker 1: you couldn't. That's right because of the Emergency Use authorization.
Speaker 1: Sorry sucks to be you anyway. Healthcare impacts. Over to
Speaker 1: the report and more of the conclusions I'm diving on into.
Speaker 1: Thank you again to Congressman Brad Weinschervin someone going through
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty pages and pulling out the key
Speaker 1: points on it. The summary America's health care systems severely
Speaker 1: damaged by the pandemic. Patients experienced a decreas quality of care,
Speaker 1: longer waytime, shorter medical appointments, and misdiagnosis. Some people didn't
Speaker 1: go to the doctor. They were freaked out. Why would
Speaker 1: I go into a doctor's office where, oh my god,
Speaker 1: someone might breathe on me here only get in a
Speaker 1: fetal position and hide to my living room. Unemployment rates
Speaker 1: surged to levels not seen since the Great Depression because
Speaker 1: of well the lockdowns, overly broad mitigation measures, including the
Speaker 1: now debunked six feet apart guidance, which doctor Fauci admitted
Speaker 1: in closed door testimony he pulled out of his personal
Speaker 1: sphincter my conclusion, but effectively what he said disproportionately impacted
Speaker 1: work sectors with low wage earners. Federal reserves. Aggressive early
Speaker 1: and unprecedented response to the COVID nineteen pandemic prevented a
Speaker 1: severe economic downturn. This continued approach also contributed to stagger inflation.
Speaker 1: Still living all of results of that and then pile
Speaker 1: on top of it. After all, the trillions of dollars
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen money that float into the system, watering
Speaker 1: down the value of your dollar. Follow up with the
Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act, which wasn't you're still paying for that one.
Speaker 1: And I also remember there's still COVID nineteen money floating
Speaker 1: around out there. The cities are using to, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, plug budget gaps cities. Cincinnati school closures. The
Speaker 1: quote unquote science never justified prolonged school closures. Children were
Speaker 1: unlikely to contribute to the spread of COVID nineteen or
Speaker 1: even suffer severe illness or mortality. Instead, as a result
Speaker 1: of the school closures, children experience historic learning losses, higher
Speaker 1: rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical well being. The
Speaker 1: ripple of fat on that one. Anybody who's a parent
Speaker 1: out there that went through this with younger age children,
Speaker 1: probably you're still feeling it. The Centers for Disease Control
Speaker 1: and Prevention influence Biden Administration's CDC broke precedent providing a
Speaker 1: political provided a political teachers organization with access to its
Speaker 1: scientific school reopening guidance. You remember this one. I had forgotten.
Speaker 1: Former CDC Director Rochelle Wolenski asked the American Federation of
Speaker 1: Teachers to provide specific language for the guidance, and even
Speaker 1: once so far as to accept numerous edits made by
Speaker 1: the American Federation of Teachers. The CDC director deferred reopening
Speaker 1: guidance to the teachers union. How many doctors do you
Speaker 1: think are over at the American Federation for Teachers? How
Speaker 1: many doctors with any connection to pandemic or pandemic related
Speaker 1: science were involved in providing the specific language? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you know the answer to that question. Schools remain
Speaker 1: closed longer than necessary because the American Federation of Teachers
Speaker 1: political interference in the CDC school reopening guidance. It's a
Speaker 1: political union, not a scientific organization. It's a political union
Speaker 1: that advocated for mitigation efforts that prolonged school closures, including
Speaker 1: an automatic closure quote unquote trigger. Testimony revealed, according to
Speaker 1: the report, that eight AFT president Winingarten had a direct
Speaker 1: telephone line to contact former CDC Director Wolenski. Standardized test
Speaker 1: scores show that children lost decades worth of academic progress
Speaker 1: as a consequence of COVID nineteen school closures. Mental and
Speaker 1: physical health concerns also skyrocketed, and here you go with
Speaker 1: suicide attempts by twelve the seventeen year age girls rising
Speaker 1: fifty one percent. I got a few more conclusory points
Speaker 1: on the report again, you can find it online. Five
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty pages worth of damning indictments of our
Speaker 1: elected officials. And oh my god, the walk on water
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci six forty seven fifty five k see the
Speaker 1: talk station. Wonder if anybody out there is embarrassed for
Speaker 1: having listened to and attentively followed every utterance that came
Speaker 1: out of doctor Fauci's mouth. Emory Federal Credit Union moving
Speaker 1: away to something negative is something extremely positive. It's a better,
Speaker 1: better way to bank over at Emory Federal Credit Union.
Speaker 1: Been banking with them for more than a decade and
Speaker 1: always always happy with the service there because folks are
Speaker 1: extremely friendly. They'll help you deal with you know, things
Speaker 1: like loans and also fienom loans. The rates are always
Speaker 1: fantastic and Emory right now up until the end of
Speaker 1: this month. You have until December thirty first, if you remember,
Speaker 1: you can get one point eighty five percent off your
Speaker 1: holiday loan. That's what they're calling it's a personal loan.
Speaker 1: Call it a holiday loan, it's a holiday time call
Speaker 1: it whatever you want. It's one point eighty five percent
Speaker 1: off the already low rate. All you need to do
Speaker 1: is contact any Emory Federal Credit Union branch or even
Speaker 1: apply online. And I recommend going online because you can
Speaker 1: literally learn about the restrictions that apply. EMORYFCU dot org,

Speaker 1: Coming up after Top of the Air News, Todd Zenzer
Speaker 1: comes in studio talking about since at Council dealing with
Speaker 1: the pension liability and his op ed piece of the
Speaker 1: Cincinnia inquire how it needs to be dealt with more aggressively.
Speaker 1: You can't find that on the online edition of the Enquirer,
Speaker 1: and you got to read it in the actual paper version.
Speaker 1: I think Todd'll probably give us a full insight into
Speaker 1: his analysis. And after the Top of the Air News
Speaker 1: follow by Tim Rivers American Gulag Chronicle. I've had him
Speaker 1: on a whole bunch of times, and since Hunter Biden's
Speaker 1: been pardoned. How about the January sixth prisoners, But the
Speaker 1: seventy two year old ladies locked behind bars were wandering
Speaker 1: around the Capitol building. Yeah, I talk about disparate treatment
Speaker 1: inside scoop But bright Bart News at eight oh five
Speaker 1: and Daniel Davis Deep Dive at eight thirty. Final conclusory
Speaker 1: points from the five and twenty page long summary or
Speaker 1: the report coming out of today Senate's a subcommittee on
Speaker 1: the coronavirus pandemic. The report is titled After Action Review
Speaker 1: of the COVID nineteen pandemic, the Lessons Learned and a
Speaker 1: Path Forward. So not only do they do a post
Speaker 1: mortan on all of the lies that we were told,
Speaker 1: it also is supposed to provide a guidance for the future,
Speaker 1: so the government credibility isn't torched like it has been
Speaker 1: as a consequence of what they told us over COVID. Anyway,
Speaker 1: go over to the Health and Human Services Department and
Speaker 1: the title of the subject heading on this one obstruction.
Speaker 1: Biden Administration's HHS engaged in a multi year campaign of delay, confusion,
Speaker 1: and non response in this in an attempt to obstruct
Speaker 1: this select subcommittee's investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate
Speaker 1: or embarrass senior public visuals doctor Fauji. It appears that
Speaker 1: HHS even intentionally under resourced its component that responds to
Speaker 1: legislative oversight requests. So it's like when you're issued a
Speaker 1: Foyer request, there's specific laws governing responding to a Foyer request,
Speaker 1: and you just ignore it. Senate Subcommittee sends you request
Speaker 1: pursuing to their guidelines. Well, we're going to just defund
Speaker 1: or under resources department that is supposed to respond in
Speaker 1: a timely fashion to the investigation of the Committee's requests
Speaker 1: for information. Screw those guys. Basically eco Health obstruction going
Speaker 1: back to eco Health and one that was behind funding
Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virologies gain a function Research President
Speaker 1: Peter Dazak obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation by providing publicly
Speaker 1: available information, instructing his staff to reduce the scope and
Speaker 1: pace of productions of documents, and doctoring documents before releasing
Speaker 1: them to the public. He also provided false statements to Congress.
Speaker 1: Doctor David Morenz deliberately obstructed the Select sub Committee's investigation,
Speaker 1: likely lied to Congress on multiple occasions, unlawfully deleted federal
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen records and shared non public information about NIH
Speaker 1: grant processes with Eco Health president doctor Peter Daizac. It's
Speaker 1: rather incestuous group of relations going on here, isn't it.
Speaker 1: And then finally New York obstruction. New York's Executive Chamber,
Speaker 1: led presently by Governor Kathy Hockel, redacted documents, offered numerous
Speaker 1: illegitimate privileged claims, and withheld thousands of documents without an
Speaker 1: apparent legal basis to obstruct the Select Subcommittee's investigation into
Speaker 1: former Governor Cuomo's pandemic era failures. Those failures I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: which really should be the he's referred to the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice for criminal prosecution. I mean the fact that
Speaker 1: he knowingly and wilfully made false statements to the Select
Speaker 1: Subcommittee on numerous occasions, and his order forced COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: positive elderly people into nursing homes where they would obviously
Speaker 1: go and infect the clearly more vulnerable elderly folks in
Speaker 1: nursing homes. I wonder if there's a final accounting of
Speaker 1: the death toll brought about by that directive. Six fifty
Speaker 1: five krs. The talk station Local stuff coming up with
Speaker 1: Todd's enders since at Council. Specifically, we'll hear about American
Speaker 1: Gulag Chronicles, Tim Rivers and whether he thinks it's any
Speaker 1: hope for the January sixth prisoners, A whole lot more
Speaker 1: coming up. I hope you can stick around.
Speaker 3: Ever changing world. There's one constant you can depend on.
Speaker 3: Fifty five krc the talk station at the top end,
Speaker 3: bottom of the hour, this report.
Speaker 1: Wait for it, teven o six fifty five KRCD talk station,
Speaker 1: A very Happy Tuesday special. Tuesday. We've got Tim Rivers,
Speaker 1: American Ghulag Chronicles. We've had him on the program a
Speaker 1: couple of times. He'll be on at seven forty now
Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden has been pardoning because of course they
Speaker 1: were all just picking on him and had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with his criminal reality. How about the January sixth prisoners,
Speaker 1: what's in store for them? We've got the inside scoop
Speaker 1: of bright Bart News political reporter Wendell Huza bow is
Speaker 1: going to join us in an hour talk about guess
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, and then Daniel Davis deep dive on Russia, Belarus, Georgia,
Speaker 1: and then my friends at OHC the Cancer Special it's
Speaker 1: going to be talking about blood cancers. That'll happen at
Speaker 1: the end of the next hour. In the meantime, Welcome back.
Speaker 1: Always a real distinct pleasure to have men's studio. Todd
Speaker 1: Zen's are a recently pendent op ed piece which appeared
Speaker 1: in the paper version of the Cinsai inquir He is

Speaker 1: States Department of Commerce. After thirty one years of conducting
Speaker 1: audits and investigations of federal officials, programs and operations, he
Speaker 1: remains a certified fraud examiner and he knows things financial clearly.
Speaker 1: Todd Zenz are welcome back to the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning Show, tackling the problem of well City of Cincinnati finances,
Speaker 1: most notably the still ongoing and yet to ever be
Speaker 1: resolved pension problem. Welcome back, my friend. I love having
Speaker 1: you in studio. Thank you, Brian, good morning, and I
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate you taking the laboring or and staying up
Speaker 1: on what is really a very very challenging financial situation.
Speaker 1: You and I can talk all day long about the
Speaker 1: problems facing the City of Cincinnati. I mean we were
Speaker 1: talking off air most notably about the backlog of just simple, fundamental,
Speaker 1: basic things like road repairs.
Speaker 9: That's right.
Speaker 1: It's scoot that mic up and get closer to it
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's just a simple core service, something
Speaker 1: that acts as a financial draw because people are inclined
Speaker 1: to want to move into cities with good infrastructure. You
Speaker 1: let your roads deteriorate over deckage, you end up with
Speaker 1: a four hundred million dollar backlog. They're supposed to do
Speaker 1: X number of millions of dollars of road repairs each year,
Speaker 1: and every year they kick the damn can down the road. Well,
Speaker 1: welcome to the pension program.
Speaker 9: That's exactly right, Brian. They're doing the same thing. They're
Speaker 9: kicking the can down the road. And even when they
Speaker 9: get surplus my like they did this year sixty five
Speaker 9: million dollars, instead of applying that to the pension liability,
Speaker 9: which is an eight hundred million dollars shortfall.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred million, they decide to.
Speaker 9: Put four million of that sixty five million towards the
Speaker 9: pension liability, and they spend the rest. I think there's
Speaker 9: about five hundred thousand dollars left of that sixty five
Speaker 9: million that they haven't applied yet.
Speaker 1: And where does that money go off to. It's a
Speaker 1: random decision by the mayor that I'm going to spend
Speaker 1: it over here. I mean, this isn't the power of
Speaker 1: the purse resting in the hands of Congress type situation.
Speaker 1: With that money, it's like we've got a dictator who
Speaker 1: can just decide on his own terms where the money's
Speaker 1: going to be spent.
Speaker 9: Well, the way it was reported is that they broke
Speaker 9: they broke it down into three different buckets. The mayor
Speaker 9: got to recommend spending, the city council got to recommend spending.
Speaker 9: In the city manager got to recommend spending. But I
Speaker 9: must say that the money that the city manager spent
Speaker 9: all went towards not all, but most went towards public safety.
Speaker 9: The other things were all what we call pet projects.
Speaker 9: The mayor wanted to spend three hundred thousand dollars renovating
Speaker 9: City Hall and you know things.
Speaker 1: Like that, real important stuff, very important, like the Bengals
Speaker 1: getting new locker rooms for the players. It in yours
Speaker 1: to everyone's benefit when that kind of thing happens, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: That's right, great, great expenditure at taxpayer dollars. They're per ball.
Speaker 1: So in order to tackle this challenge, which, as you
Speaker 1: point out in your op ed piece, and I applaud
Speaker 1: you for it, CINCINNTI Council must attack pension liability more aggressively.
Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Futures Commission, Now, they remember when they rolled
Speaker 1: out the report all the things that the city needs
Speaker 1: to be doing or the things that they should be
Speaker 1: looking at by way of righting this ship. And weren't
Speaker 1: they the ones that said this was the most concerning
Speaker 1: threat facing the City of Cincinnati or pension liability.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right if you read the report. Unfortunately, this
Speaker 9: was towards the back of the report. The report's very
Speaker 9: difficult to read in the first place. But they identified
Speaker 9: three threats, they call them threats. The most concerning is
Speaker 9: the pension liability. And basically the issue is that eventually
Speaker 9: it's going to eat the general fund alive. That by
Speaker 9: the time we get down the road ten, fifteen, twenty years,
Speaker 9: the pension liability, if it's not fixed, is going to
Speaker 9: eat into the general fund to the point where we
Speaker 9: can't afford basic operations. In addition, they're going to be
Speaker 9: they're going to have to reduce benefits even more than
Speaker 9: they have already.
Speaker 1: Well, can a parallel be drawn to our national debt
Speaker 1: of thirty seven trillion dollars because more and more of
Speaker 1: that goes to debt service, eating into the rest of
Speaker 1: the revenue that's supposed to fund things like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.
Speaker 9: Right, Well, we already borrow money to the point where
Speaker 9: we spend one hundred and forty million dollars a year
Speaker 9: servicing our debt on our bonds. So this that is
Speaker 9: even beyond that. This eight hundred million dollars is even
Speaker 9: beyond that. And they're just contributing pennies to the thing
Speaker 9: every year compared to what is required to make it solvent.
Speaker 1: Pennies directed at the most concerning threat facing the city.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's definitely a disconnected futures Commission. Their solution, the
Speaker 9: only solution they came up with, was to take the
Speaker 9: pension fund and get it to a point. Right now,
Speaker 9: it's sixty eight percent funded. They want to get it
Speaker 9: up to eighty percent funded. And if they feel that
Speaker 9: they do that, they can negotiate with the Ohio Retirement
Speaker 9: System Public Employee Retirement System opers OPERS and therefore offload
Speaker 9: the pension fund to the state now it's very complicated,
Speaker 9: very controversial because you don't you don't know how the
Speaker 9: two plans compare at this point, but that's their only solution.
Speaker 9: And in order to do that, they want to raise
Speaker 9: four hundred million dollars three hundred and ninety million dollars
Speaker 9: to bring that pension fund up to eighty percent funded.
Speaker 1: And they and had that been paying into the pension
Speaker 1: fund on an appropriate level in the previous couple of decades,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have this challenge to start with, and we
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to worry about unloading it on the rest
Speaker 1: of the Ohio tax payers.
Speaker 9: Right What's interesting is that right now, the pension system
Speaker 9: is governed by a federal lawsuit settlement called the Collaborative
Speaker 9: Settlement Agreement from twenty fifteen, where the city agreed to
Speaker 9: bring the pension system to full funding one hundred percent
Speaker 9: funding by twenty forty five. They gave them thirty years
Speaker 9: to get there, and we already know, Brian, that they're
Speaker 9: not going to make it. They're not going to come
Speaker 9: anywhere close.
Speaker 1: It's a pre existing function of government. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you got X number of things you gotta pay for
Speaker 1: every year and that pension is one of them, just
Speaker 1: ignore the hell out of it, and then they have
Speaker 1: to go to federal court and enter into a settlement
Speaker 1: agreement that gives them an additional thirty plus years to
Speaker 1: get to write this ship. And yet they haven't lifted
Speaker 1: a finger in an effort to even comply with that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're not gonna make it.
Speaker 1: And are we governed by idiots? Is that what this
Speaker 1: comes down to? Are they all just financial illiterates? Or
Speaker 1: if I was under that pension program, I would be
Speaker 1: screaming bloody murder about this. What I mean, those who
Speaker 1: have to rely on this pension system? Where are they?
Speaker 1: Where's the revolt? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Might Well, that's where this collaborative settlement agreement came from
Speaker 9: twelve years ago. Is that people got so upset, like
Speaker 9: they asked me union's individual retirement retirees. So that's where
Speaker 9: the collaborative settlement agreement came from in the first place.
Speaker 9: And based on the agreement, it looks like the people
Speaker 9: could come at them again for not complying or not
Speaker 9: living up to their agreement. They could probably reopen the thing,
Speaker 9: I would like to think, so, so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know what the terms of conditions
Speaker 1: of the collaborative agreement are, but if you've been given
Speaker 1: X number of years, it seems to me there are
Speaker 1: probably certain benchmarks that you must accomplish along the way,
Speaker 1: because you can't just wait till the thirtieth year and
Speaker 1: then say, well, oh, that's right, we should have been
Speaker 1: paying into this pension thing because we were obligated to
Speaker 1: do it thirty five years ago or whatever.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the agreement doesn't really specify specific amounts that need
Speaker 9: to be devoted.
Speaker 1: There is a failure in terms of entering into the agreement.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but it does allow certain things to reopen negotiations
Speaker 9: or reopen the settlement agreement you know that the judge
Speaker 9: can approve. And this failure to be on track for
Speaker 9: one hundred percent by twenty forty five I think falls
Speaker 9: into that category.
Speaker 1: I would make that argument. It seems like a winner.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to call it a no brainer given
Speaker 1: the complex to the situation Todd, but I think the
Speaker 1: reason that this happens is I don't know that their
Speaker 1: financial illiterates. I think that's probably part of it, but
Speaker 1: I think they just spend money on their constituents. They
Speaker 1: spend all these these things on their constituents. But aren't
Speaker 1: the pensioners their constituents.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but that's a smaller number, I think.
Speaker 1: But screw them. They're retired, basically, isn't that the attitude? Well,
Speaker 1: let's just look at the last few weeks. All right,
Speaker 1: let's pause on that note. We have a nice foray
Speaker 1: or entry to start off hitting the ground running when
Speaker 1: we bring back Todd Zenzer again, check out the op
Speaker 1: ed piece, since any council must attack pension liability more aggressively. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think I would have been a little more aggressive
Speaker 1: in the wording of the op ed piece. Todd stick
Speaker 1: around me right back after I mentioned plumpype plumbing. It's
Speaker 1: always plumbing done right confidently. Call my friends at plumb Tight.
Speaker 1: They do great work. And thanks you to all the
Speaker 1: listeners who have relied on my recommendation to use plump

Speaker 1: Seven twenty and Happy Tuesday too. Brian Thomas in studio
Speaker 1: with Todd Zenzer. He knows his stuff when it comes
Speaker 1: to audits and things financial of us a Department of Commerce.
Speaker 1: Thirty one years as the Inspector General, he still remains
Speaker 1: a certified fraud examiner. And basically it sounds to me
Speaker 1: like what we're dealing with is a bunch of financial
Speaker 1: fraud or at least massive incompetence on the part of
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati. Pension liability outstanding total in the
Speaker 1: whole six hundred and eighty million dollars, right, something like that.
Speaker 9: Actually, the pension liability is up over eight hundred million.
Speaker 1: Oh h here, I am misplacing a couple one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars, But that's what the City of Cincinnati does.
Speaker 1: You're getting ready to walk in through some extraditional points
Speaker 1: on this when we took a break, Todd, So let's
Speaker 1: talk about it, because you and I were engaging in
Speaker 1: this discussion on the break, and in spite of the
Speaker 1: fact that the pension is just woefully underfunded and it
Speaker 1: is under the subject matter of a federal settlement agreement
Speaker 1: that's right, and we're not compliance. Apparently they still ignore it.
Speaker 9: Well, they are ignoring it. That's that's the issue. They're
Speaker 9: continuing to kick kick the problem down the road. You know,
Speaker 9: they just spent sixty five million dollars of the surplus.
Speaker 9: So but over the last three weeks they've come in
Speaker 9: for a proposal of three hundred and twenty five thousand
Speaker 9: dollars for a program a base in California. It's probably
Speaker 9: got probably got a handful of cities that are participating
Speaker 9: for to try to attack youth violence, youth gun violence.
Speaker 9: And the idea is to actually pay certain youthh to
Speaker 9: not commit crime, to behave that's right. So that's three great,
Speaker 9: that's three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: It's just an insane societal regression.
Speaker 9: And then we've got half a million dollars that the
Speaker 9: city council wants to spend on mental health, mental health
Speaker 9: program for transgender youth. They've got there was the Vice
Speaker 9: mayor was on the radio just the other day about
Speaker 9: historic preservation of North Avondale and she's suggesting that the
Speaker 9: city council can pay for stained glass windows for homes
Speaker 9: in North Assondale. I mean, it's you're making this. I'm
Speaker 9: not making that up. No, I heard it myself. So
Speaker 9: the idea is that there's a lot of things to
Speaker 9: spend money on.
Speaker 1: That silence was me just in a state of absolute disbelief.
Speaker 1: I apologize.
Speaker 9: There's a lot of worthwhile things to spend money on.
Speaker 9: It's never ending. But the point is that dispensional liability
Speaker 9: is a threat to the city and they're not doing
Speaker 9: anything about it.
Speaker 1: Well, and you just mentioned I'm not having to go
Speaker 1: with transgender youth and their mental challenges. I can certainly
Speaker 1: acknowledge it. They probably do. But I just got done
Speaker 1: going through the Congressional the summary of the COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: Select Subcommittee report, and it talked about one of the
Speaker 1: consequences of the lockdowns and the lack of education was
Speaker 1: a fifty one percent increase in girls twelve to seventeen
Speaker 1: committing suicide. Wow. Yeah, you know, that is a broad
Speaker 1: much broader than the challenges of the transgender youth, which
Speaker 1: don't make up a sizable chunk of the population. That challenge,
Speaker 1: in and of itself alone sounds like a more justifiable
Speaker 1: thing to try to take a stab at. But you know,
Speaker 1: this is the city of Cincinnati. What are they supposed
Speaker 1: to What do they think they could possibly do?
Speaker 9: Yeah, like four million dollars a year to the Green
Speaker 9: Cincinnati plan, It's like, is that really, is that really
Speaker 9: going to do anything for the environment?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, absolutely.
Speaker 9: Not, But they keep spending. They just dedicated what is it,
Speaker 9: five hundred thousand dollars for a green bank.
Speaker 1: And that's the girl's a green bank.
Speaker 9: The green bank is another kind of quasi agency that
Speaker 9: the city's going to set up in order to be
Speaker 9: a clearing house for money devoted to climate change.
Speaker 1: Okay, and to everyone who might think that's a great idea,
Speaker 1: again to the Wall Street Journal, Bjorn Lomburg's abed piece,
Speaker 1: climate change colonialism keeps poor countries impoverished, And his point
Speaker 1: is a brilliant one. You know, if you even want
Speaker 1: to look at the weather related deaths that have gone on,
Speaker 1: even if you want to draw a parallel between climate
Speaker 1: change and weather, extreme weather took an average of nine
Speaker 1: thousand lives each year over the past decade globally. Yet
Speaker 1: they are spending literally billions of billions of dollars in
Speaker 1: programs that do absolutely nothing for the impoverished countries that
Speaker 1: they claim their saving through their green projects. This is
Speaker 1: a global level talks here. Now we're moving down to
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati city area level. As if what our carbon
Speaker 1: emissions are collectively in the city have anything to do
Speaker 1: with anything that's right.
Speaker 9: I agree with you, Brian.
Speaker 1: Todds ins are hold on. We're going to continue this
Speaker 1: conversation one more segment. First, they'll word for my great
Speaker 1: friends at Fast and Pro Roofing. Outstanding folks they are.
Speaker 1: They cannot be beaten in terms of the beautiful work
Speaker 1: that they do. Fast and Pro Roofing known for the
Speaker 1: excellence and quality of their work. It is truly superior.
Speaker 1: But before the work comes comes the free roof inspection.
Speaker 1: And that's where you got to worry. If you're working
Speaker 1: with some of the roofing company, I doubt you're going
Speaker 1: to get better quality roofing work. But in the bottom
Speaker 1: line is you're probably going to get ripped off because
Speaker 1: there's so many ripoff artists in the roofing business. They
Speaker 1: want to sell you something. They're going to say something
Speaker 1: you don't know anything about getting on roofs and looking
Speaker 1: for things that are wrong or problematic. They do that
Speaker 1: and they come down they tell you got it to
Speaker 1: get a new roof. Well maybe not Fast and Pro
Speaker 1: will never try to say you anything. You do not
Speaker 1: need your roof's in okay shape. They'll come down to say, hey,
Speaker 1: it's an okay shape, call me in a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Because you've at least got what it looks like that
Speaker 1: much life less and left in it. That's a valuable,
Speaker 1: valuable piece of advice you're going to get. And of
Speaker 1: course Fast and Pro move on their way and go
Speaker 1: do another inspection elsewhere. Tell Eric I said, hi, if
Speaker 1: he comes over and does your roof inspection. My daughter's fiance.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to say that he's been with Fast
Speaker 1: and Pro for a number of years now, and he's
Speaker 1: been in the roofing business i think since high school.
Speaker 1: Good kid, Well it's not a kid, but you get
Speaker 1: the idea. One of the wonderful employees in Fast and Pro.
Speaker 1: Ry and Amanda have hired only the finest in roofing contractors,
Speaker 1: or rather roofing employees. That's why they enjoy a plus
Speaker 1: with the better business peer. You get the automatic upgrade
Speaker 1: to the certainty landmark Pro fifty years shingle, so don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about making a choice about going with
Speaker 1: a twenty five year shingle. That's a freebee on them.
Speaker 1: The upgrade metal roof if you want to sub out
Speaker 1: the swap out the shingle for a metal. They'll do
Speaker 1: that for you. They do custom metal work like copper
Speaker 1: work around bay windows and that kind of thing. Literally everything,
Speaker 1: plus a lot of exterior projects. So check them out online.
Speaker 1: The beauty of their work will unfold as you go
Speaker 1: to the website. Fastenpro roofing dot com, Faste and proroofing
Speaker 1: dot com. Tell the folks, I said hi when you
Speaker 1: give them a call for that free honest inspection. Five

Speaker 1: Seven thirty fifty fifth KRC Detalk station. We can talk
Speaker 1: to him for hours. Todd's enzer form Inspector Jenn of
Speaker 1: the Oast Department of Commerce. He knows what he's talking
Speaker 1: about when it comes to fraud examinations. He also knows
Speaker 1: what he's talking about when it comes to bud it
Speaker 1: comes to allocating and properly budgeting. The City of Cincinnati well,
Speaker 1: as revealed this morning in the brief amount of time
Speaker 1: we've been talking, has an epic failure in this regard.
Speaker 1: The pension system is woefully underfunded and I want to
Speaker 1: go back just briefly Todd to the idea the since
Speaker 1: Any Futures Commission put out, which again the Sinceni Futures
Speaker 1: Commission said, this is the biggest gravest threat the city
Speaker 1: is facing, this pension liability. In an effort to deal
Speaker 1: with that, if they write the pension a little bit,
Speaker 1: they bring this hole down to four hundred million, then
Speaker 1: somehow OPERHS would be willing to take it over. Well, like,
Speaker 1: ohiopech and as an Ohio tax payer and I don't
Speaker 1: live in the city Cincinnati, I'm like, this is the
Speaker 1: hole you dug yourself in. Don't put that liability on me.
Speaker 1: Why would OPERHS even agree to take it?
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I'm not really sure why they would take it,
Speaker 9: But I don't know that the Futures Commission was all
Speaker 9: that confident because they think that just getting to that
Speaker 9: amount would get them to the negotiating table. It's not
Speaker 9: that it would seal the deal or anything like that.
Speaker 9: That's just to get talks going with the pension, the
Speaker 9: state pension system.
Speaker 1: But that would also bring them closer to compliance with
Speaker 1: the consent decree they entered into the federal government, which
Speaker 1: is supposed to be doing anyway, that's right.
Speaker 9: So they should probably go ahead and try to reopen
Speaker 9: that agreement if they give themselves a little more time
Speaker 9: and be more aggressive about bringing that bringing that up.
Speaker 1: But then we wouldn't be able to buy a new
Speaker 1: stained glass windows for the folks in Avondel. Yeah.
Speaker 9: The the the other issue though is this is regionalizing
Speaker 9: the waterworks and whether that is even a possibility.
Speaker 1: How would that help because so far as you've explained,
Speaker 1: and we've been over this before, with the sale of
Speaker 1: the railroad, they're just selling literally everything that's not nailed
Speaker 1: down to make to meet their obligations presently, right right,
Speaker 1: and that goes with the pension because right now the
Speaker 1: pension's paying out more than it is taking in.
Speaker 9: That's right. They've got four thousand people taking out or
Speaker 9: beneficiaries that are using the using the retirement system, and
Speaker 9: they've got three thousand people paying in. In addition, they
Speaker 9: the pension Board, which is an agency of the city.
Speaker 9: The pension Board has to sell its assets. It's reported
Speaker 9: to the city that it has to sell its assets
Speaker 9: in order to even pay bennet fits and expenses. So
Speaker 9: they're eating away their investment of portfolio in order to
Speaker 9: actually pay their bills, and so that reduces their investment income.
Speaker 9: And they right now, according to their financial report, they're
Speaker 9: one of the highest pension systems in the country I think,
Speaker 9: who are using their investments to pay their their bills
Speaker 9: or eating into their investments to pay their bills.
Speaker 1: Which obvious stating the obvious imperils their ability, I mean,
Speaker 1: more rapidly each year because the city clearly is not
Speaker 1: replenishing what is being paid out. They haven't prioritized even
Speaker 1: maintaining some even a level of status qual It sounds.
Speaker 9: Like, right, And even their projections that went into that
Speaker 9: collaborative agreement said that they were going to earn seven
Speaker 9: and a quarter percent on their investments. Well down below
Speaker 9: seven percent. They're not even hitting that target. So they've
Speaker 9: got a lot of issues. It's kind of a downward spiral,
Speaker 9: and nobody's really worried about it.
Speaker 1: I guess, all right, let us just paint a somewhat
Speaker 1: bleak scenario which looks like the trajectory we were on
Speaker 1: while the council people and the city manager and the
Speaker 1: mayor all fiddle. What happens when the pension runs out
Speaker 1: of money?
Speaker 9: Well, I don't know that it's going to run out
Speaker 9: of money.
Speaker 1: It's going to have to Well, they're they're eating principle
Speaker 1: up as we talk apparently, So I what is it?
Speaker 1: What is the future for the city sense? Any look
Speaker 1: like if this problem is not.
Speaker 9: Fixed, well, they're going to start reducing benefits fairly early,
Speaker 9: earlier than failure. And I don't really know the answer
Speaker 9: to that, Brian. I think they're going to have to
Speaker 9: find some way to shore up the liability, to reduce
Speaker 9: the liability, and they're going to to have to reopen
Speaker 9: their collaborative settlement agreement to give themselves more time to
Speaker 9: get there if they can, if they can, and I
Speaker 9: really think that the city just has to start putting
Speaker 9: money into that pension liability to ward off what we're
Speaker 9: talking about, instead of spending it on stupid things, on
Speaker 9: all these pet projects and all this social welfare spending.
Speaker 9: And they've got to start prioritizing their spending. It's as
Speaker 9: simple as that. And yeah, I think it's a real
Speaker 9: problem for the for the people that have to rely
Speaker 9: on that pension system.
Speaker 1: Clearly I would want to be there. I sure as
Speaker 1: hell wouldn't want to be there either. So anyhow, well,
Speaker 1: You've shed a huge bright spotlight on a problem that
Speaker 1: every one of the cities should be talking about, certainly
Speaker 1: those in elected capacity, and they should prioritize this as
Speaker 1: numero una, just like the Cincinnati Futures Commission did. Boy,
Speaker 1: they thought the sun shined out that since if you
Speaker 1: could future Commission's bottom until you get to this particular
Speaker 1: component in their chapter in the report and you realize that, no,
Speaker 1: we are on a downward spiral that doesn't look like
Speaker 1: it's going to be fixed.
Speaker 9: Their recommendation was for the mayor to appoint a task
Speaker 9: force to even look into this issue. He hasn't even
Speaker 9: done that.
Speaker 1: Todd Zenzer, you're a brilliant man. I appreciate what you're
Speaker 1: doing on behalf of the citizens of the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: whether they appreciate or not, and hopefully more competent people
Speaker 1: will be elected to deal with the problem. Seventh thirty

Speaker 1: sort of drunken fraturning party gotten slightly out of hand.
Speaker 1: Of course, January sixth is what I'm referring to. Now.
Speaker 1: Some people did engage in violence, but seems to me
Speaker 1: the vast majority of people who have been convicted were
Speaker 1: convicted merely of wandering around in the building, having at
Speaker 1: first been invited to enter the building by members of
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Someone who knows all about this returned, and
Speaker 1: I love having them on the programme. The collaborator and
Speaker 1: the person responsible for putting together the two volumes, the

Speaker 1: back to the Morning Show, Tim Rivers. It's a real
Speaker 1: pleasure to have you back on today.
Speaker 7: Oh thanks, Brian, appreciate you having me back on.
Speaker 1: You're yac.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, first off, since it's kind of a springboard, everyone
Speaker 1: keeps bringing it up. The absurdity behind Joe Biden's pardoning
Speaker 1: of his son, not that that comes as a surprise
Speaker 1: to anybody, but the idea that he had the audacity
Speaker 1: in the face of all the evidence that we all
Speaker 1: know about, at those of us who've taken the time
Speaker 1: to remember, like the slow walk of the IRS investigation,
Speaker 1: allowing the statute limitations to blow by, that somehow he
Speaker 1: was the victim of an abusive justice system, and that
Speaker 1: nobody out there, if it wasn't for the fact that
Speaker 1: he was Hunter Biden and the son of Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: would have been gone after from a legal perspective, despite
Speaker 1: of the fact that he pled guilty to tax evasion
Speaker 1: and was found guilty of the FFL violation. What was
Speaker 1: your reaction to that, knowing all that you know about
Speaker 1: how ill treated and desperately treated these January six folks were.
Speaker 7: I can't say that on the air.
Speaker 1: Thank you for honoring the sec guidance that I must
Speaker 1: follow every day. Trust me, I understand how difficult it
Speaker 1: can be.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean, I'm going to read it right after
Speaker 7: he got this book. In the throes of addiction, I
Speaker 7: squandered opportunities and advantages, and in recovery, we can be
Speaker 7: given the opportunity to make amends and rebuild our lives.
Speaker 7: If we never take for granted the mercy we have
Speaker 7: been afforded, give me a freaking break. I mean, if
Speaker 7: you were some poor guy who had been victimized for
Speaker 7: showing up and protesting one day, thrown into a jail
Speaker 7: for three years and nine months, never given a trial,
Speaker 7: beaten abused, I can't really tell you the things that
Speaker 7: might happen to you in that environment, but they're really horrible,
Speaker 7: and you can read about them in the book. And
Speaker 7: then you want to, you know, you want to play
Speaker 7: like I'm the victim. How democrat is this? I'm just
Speaker 7: going to come right out and say it. The Democrats
Speaker 7: are victimized all the time. They've they've inculcated a culture
Speaker 7: of victimization in order to split America into the halves
Speaker 7: and the haves not. And I think it's very important
Speaker 7: to realize that this wasn't like a blanket pardon this
Speaker 7: back to ten years Yeah, why did it go back
Speaker 7: ten years? Well, guess who started working in Ukraine just
Speaker 7: a little bit after ten years, Hunter Biden. This is
Speaker 7: a cover. This is Joe Biden's pardon. This is not
Speaker 7: Hunter's pardon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very excellent point, and that is one that cannot
Speaker 1: be overlooked. You are at absolutely right. This is a
Speaker 1: pardon for Joe Biden and the Biden what we'll call
Speaker 1: crime family, if we may be so bold, and I
Speaker 1: think we can, I mean, Lord almighty, how many suspicious
Speaker 1: activity reports did financial institutions turn in on the multitude
Speaker 1: of Biden family members and friends over a short period
Speaker 1: of time. If that was you or I we'd be
Speaker 1: locked up right now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you don't have to do that to get
Speaker 7: locked up in this country anymore. Well, and I'm hoping
Speaker 7: it's Brian. I'm just gonna say it. I think I
Speaker 7: think all of us have seen enough truth exposed. If
Speaker 7: you haven't seen enough, I can take where to go
Speaker 7: to find it because it's right out there in the open.
Speaker 7: Mainstream media only show it to you, but we've shown
Speaker 7: it to you for almost three years now, and I
Speaker 7: think that's all going to come out. I think now
Speaker 7: this the curtain is going to get ripped back. How
Speaker 7: did that say it? And when it gets too expensive
Speaker 7: to maintain the illusion, we'll just pull the curtain back,
Speaker 7: turn off the stage lights, move the furniture, the actor
Speaker 7: to leave, and you'll see that brick wall. Well, and
Speaker 7: I think that's what we're looking at. We're looking at
Speaker 7: the brick wall. All the truth. Now, all of these
Speaker 7: things have been exposed. The result was a landslide on
Speaker 7: this election for President Trump, and I think they're scared
Speaker 7: to death of his appointments, and rightly so. We're entering
Speaker 7: a new era. But I want to compare the pardon
Speaker 7: for a hunter should absolutely eliminate any opposition anybody ever
Speaker 7: had about pardoning the Jay stationery because they've done nothing
Speaker 7: compared to what this man has done, not to mention stealing,
Speaker 7: helping to steal the election, hiding the perfidity of that
Speaker 7: laptop and all the horrible information that's on it, sex
Speaker 7: traffic miners across state lines. Oh my god. I just
Speaker 7: don't have enough time to go through this criminal record.
Speaker 7: And yet you've got people who were not violent, who
Speaker 7: have been sitting in prison for years, and people who
Speaker 7: weren't even there that Day sentenced to twenty two years.
Speaker 7: Come on, I mean, where is justice in America? Now?
Speaker 1: It's justice, well, and certainly the truth in tim I
Speaker 1: just I think about the non violent I just put aside.
Speaker 1: You know, I know there's someone screaming going, well, but
Speaker 1: what about that one guy who beat the crap out
Speaker 1: of a police officer. Okay, let's put that guy aside,
Speaker 1: and let's talk about the person who just randomly strolled
Speaker 1: through the Capitol building and yet was imprisoned for that,
Speaker 1: had to defend themselves in court, retain a lawyer at
Speaker 1: significant expense if they could, or forced to cop a
Speaker 1: plea because they couldn't afford a lawyer forcing him in
Speaker 1: prison for something as minor as infraction in that And
Speaker 1: then look at all of the violence and the and
Speaker 1: the and the property damage done by the ANTIFA types
Speaker 1: and the Black Lives Matter folks that were out there
Speaker 1: absolute criminal activity, distinct observable documentable property destruction, and also
Speaker 1: people that were severely injured in some cases killed as
Speaker 1: a consequence of their violence. Do you imagine the amount
Speaker 1: of resources, the money, and effort that the FBI spent
Speaker 1: tracking down the old lady who they now have in
Speaker 1: prison because she wandered around. I mean that they they
Speaker 1: use valuable resources and dollars going after non violent folks
Speaker 1: when the crime, when the streets are just laden with
Speaker 1: violent criminals, that even if they pick them up, they
Speaker 1: just let them out.
Speaker 7: All right, I am wow. You know, there's there's a
Speaker 7: there's a there's a problem with living long enough that
Speaker 7: you can see major changes in culture like I have.
Speaker 7: But I can see the difference in America. I can
Speaker 7: see and feel the difference in our cultural belief and
Speaker 7: the qualities of America and the promises of America. And
Speaker 7: that's all come about because everybody has been so uh
Speaker 7: so intent on creating this uh this false reality that
Speaker 7: that you got more than I got. Therefore you're evil
Speaker 7: and I'm good, and let's pay let's tay a really
Speaker 7: good attention. I can say you're bad and we can
Speaker 7: have a conversation, right, I can say you're evil, and
Speaker 7: we no longer have anything to talk about. And that's
Speaker 7: what's happened here there. There's been a vilification that it's
Speaker 7: been almost irreversible killed any kind of dialogue that we
Speaker 7: might have had to come to some conclusions. And now
Speaker 7: we're a split America, and we have such a huge
Speaker 7: task ahead of us. The first thing you need to
Speaker 7: do is bind up the nation's wounds. Who said that,
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, somebody else said that I stole. Bind up
Speaker 7: the nation wound and started by getting all the ja
Speaker 7: sisers out of jail. Those who really did something wrong
Speaker 7: that day can be tried for those things separately. All
Speaker 7: you have to do is, you know, basically, dismiss those
Speaker 7: charges without prejudice, unlike Hunter's pardon, which is with prejudice,
Speaker 7: which means you can never go after this man for
Speaker 7: anything that he did or anything that he was involved in.
Speaker 7: Pay attention to that one for ten years back, ten
Speaker 7: years back. How about we just go back five years
Speaker 7: and just give the I'll take half of that, go
Speaker 7: back five and give all the Jay six ers a
Speaker 7: pass and then pay them back for the destructions of
Speaker 7: their lives.
Speaker 1: Well, one can only help that some justice does happen
Speaker 1: along those lines. And you know what, all I can observe,
Speaker 1: Tim the Republicans have a huge, huge, huge task in
Speaker 1: front of them, and if they don't get their act
Speaker 1: together and actually accomplish something over a very short window
Speaker 1: of opportunity, we're going to be back having the same
Speaker 1: damn conversation a couple of years from that.
Speaker 2: Tim, We are.
Speaker 7: But you know what, your listeners have to be part
Speaker 7: of this. All of us have to be part of this.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's the why I got involved. I realized
Speaker 7: that I didn't get part. If I didn't take some action,
Speaker 7: things are just going to keep going the way they were.
Speaker 7: Everybody's got this capability. You can call your congressman, you
Speaker 7: can get involved in local politics, you can support the
Speaker 7: people who are fighting on the front line. Everybody can
Speaker 7: do something. And I got news for you. The politicians
Speaker 7: are not going to say this. It's we, the people
Speaker 7: who have the responsibility within the constitution and within our
Speaker 7: form of government to make sure that we preserve the
Speaker 7: goodness of America for future generations.
Speaker 1: And we have failed.
Speaker 7: And now I tell everybody who's listening to this, you
Speaker 7: have a chance to fix it. All you got to
Speaker 7: do is get off your butt and do something. Go
Speaker 7: to J six patriotnews dot com, read about the truth,
Speaker 7: buy our books at Letters from Prison dot us. You
Speaker 7: will be joining the glog army and helping save these
Speaker 7: families and these men and support them until we get
Speaker 7: them free. There are so many things you can do
Speaker 7: that there are just a little tiny drop in the water.
Speaker 7: Is all it takes, is all of us do it.
Speaker 7: We have a tsunami. If you sit in walk, nothing happens.
Speaker 7: And so I call you to action, America. It's time
Speaker 7: to wake up. We got it, like you said, like
Speaker 7: Brian said, We've got a huge job ahead of us,
Speaker 7: and it will take every single one of us doing
Speaker 7: our part to restore this country and to give our
Speaker 7: children what we do it. And so I call on you, America,
Speaker 7: get off your butt.
Speaker 1: Joe. Put the links up to your site on my
Speaker 1: blog page forty five Carcy dot com so my listeners
Speaker 1: can contribute. Every little bit counts, as demonstrated by my
Speaker 1: guest today, Tim Rivers, has been a real pleasure having
Speaker 1: you back on the program. And I'll encourage my listeners
Speaker 1: to get both copies of the American Gulag Chronicles. Tim.

Speaker 1: lib tears on fifty five KRC talkstation A six here
Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD talk station. Happy Tuesday, great time to
Speaker 1: be tuned into the fifty five KRC Morning Show, but
Speaker 1: you can find the podcast as always at fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC dot com. Welcome back to the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning Show from Breitbart b R E I T B
Speaker 1: A r T dot com, Bright Bart book It political
Speaker 1: reporter Wendell Husabo. Good to have you on the program,
Speaker 1: and a happy Tuesday to you, sir. Good morning, Brian
Speaker 1: from a cold Washington. That's cold here too, so you
Speaker 1: can't look on the city of Cincinnati had twenty one
Speaker 1: degrees with any envy this morning. Although it may be
Speaker 1: colder where you are, it sucks to be in winter
Speaker 1: time period of the story.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in his statement pardoning his son, which I
Speaker 1: think most people believe was gonna happen, but he said
Speaker 1: his son had been treated differently by the Justice Department
Speaker 1: and was singing only because he is my son, and
Speaker 1: that is wrong. Well, you know, you and I might
Speaker 1: look at that statement and say, actually, that's accurate. He
Speaker 1: was singled out and actually was singled out for soft treatment.
Speaker 1: He was treated differently than any other human being in
Speaker 1: the United States who would be prosecuted for all the
Speaker 1: financial transactions he engaged in let's face it, prior to
Speaker 1: them being barred by the statute limitations.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8: I think Marco Paulo has done some good work and
Speaker 8: they've put out a spreadsheet of about one hundred and
Speaker 8: forty statutes that Hunter, you know, may have violated. And
Speaker 8: that just speaks to why Joe Biden, you know, extended
Speaker 8: this pardon to Hunter over the course of ten years
Speaker 8: because I think, you know, there was maybe some fear
Speaker 8: that some justice would be coming over the next four years.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, is it possible that
Speaker 1: justice could still becoming now? I know, Joe Biden's got
Speaker 1: more pardons up his sleeve, and you know, the whole
Speaker 1: Biden family is probably going to be given a partner
Speaker 1: for the same period of time. But what of the
Speaker 1: receipt of all this money, the fact that he was
Speaker 1: received from foreign governments. Aren't there like FIA charges that
Speaker 1: could be brought here to other against other people. I mean,
Speaker 1: he received millions from the Chinese Communist Party, he received
Speaker 1: millions from the Russians, he received millions from the Abarissma
Speaker 1: holdings in Ukraine, I mean, and a lot of that
Speaker 1: money got distributed to a variety of different Biden family
Speaker 1: members and friends. So is this all dead and over
Speaker 1: with with Hunter Biden's broad pardon.
Speaker 8: I think Hunter Biden was just the front man for
Speaker 8: the Biden crime family. And so when you when you
Speaker 8: look at these wire transfers that Oversight Chairman James Comer
Speaker 8: has dug up, it shows a whole web of of
Speaker 8: money flowing to and from Biden family members that originated
Speaker 8: from overseas business. And so Joe Biden has not issued
Speaker 8: a pardon. James Biden, which is Joe Biden's brother, Hunter
Speaker 8: Biden's uncle, James Biden, is probably more corrupt than Hunter Biden.
Speaker 8: He just didn't have a laptop that he abandoned at
Speaker 8: a New York repair shop.
Speaker 1: Apparent probably didn't have as bad of a drug problem either,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: Probably probably not, although I think there was some images
Speaker 8: of him, maybe that was the other his Joe Biden's
Speaker 8: other brother, of him taking you know, a naked shot
Speaker 8: of him in the bathroom. The whole family is gross. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and I think America is going to be very happy
Speaker 8: when they get a real president back in the White House.
Speaker 1: Well, and I think, you know it's this type of thing.
Speaker 1: The the the the treatment of Hunter Biden, and again
Speaker 1: the fact that they slow walk the original investigation. You
Speaker 1: have these irs whistleblowers talking about me. They had damning
Speaker 1: information on him. They had the Hunter Biden laptop information
Speaker 1: in the form of that. That was the the FBI
Speaker 1: investigation form form was it two twenty three year or something. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it was all corroborated independently by their investigation. It shows
Speaker 1: up on a laptop. You got fifty one people from
Speaker 1: the Obama administration stepping up saying the laptop is a
Speaker 1: bunch of Russian hoaxes just enough to get Biden through
Speaker 1: the election. We all saw it with our own eyes.
Speaker 1: We all witnessed it. We've all been listening to this nonsense.
Speaker 1: And for the past four years, Donald Trump beat the
Speaker 1: living hell out of Kamala Harris in spite of eight
Speaker 1: years of constant drum beat of evil orange man, zeemophobe,
Speaker 1: ho of foe races, misogynist, blah blah blah. You couldn't
Speaker 1: get away from that. And yet he bludgeoned her like
Speaker 1: a baby harp seal. That's the American people knowing what's
Speaker 1: going on, isn't it.
Speaker 8: I think what this election proved is that the American
Speaker 8: people are very smart and we should trust the American
Speaker 8: people on who they believe is best to lead this
Speaker 8: and the people who have been leading this country are
Speaker 8: i have not done a good job, and the people
Speaker 8: who have helped them stay in power have totally lost credibility,
Speaker 8: such as the media. You have the media going out
Speaker 8: there saying for months that, oh, Joe Biden's not going
Speaker 8: to part in Hunter because Joe Biden said so. Well,
Speaker 8: Joe Biden's word isn't worth a flip, and so the
Speaker 8: media has egg on their face today. And that's why
Speaker 8: you're saying the media, you know, tiptoeing around saying, oh wow, gee,
Speaker 8: Joe just lied to us, or you know, Joe's not
Speaker 8: making us look very nice. Well, Joe is not a
Speaker 8: very nice guy. He's an angry old man, and when
Speaker 8: he leaves office, I think he'll be remembered as the
Speaker 8: most corrupt president in American history.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an excellent and astute observation. Another stute observation
Speaker 1: I saw this morning from James Freeman speaking about this pardon.
Speaker 1: Also a question of who authored the statement that came
Speaker 1: out Joe Biden clearly didn't. He reminded them, the readers
Speaker 1: that you know, it was only ten months ago the
Speaker 1: Justice Department special counsel said Joe Biden was too forgetful
Speaker 1: to prosecute even though there was, you know, indictable information there.
Speaker 1: And more than four months after, they pulled the plug
Speaker 1: on his presidential campaign because of his mental infirmities. And
Speaker 1: and here we go. I mean, who art have you
Speaker 1: ever concluded, my friend Wendell, who the puppet masters are?
Speaker 1: I mean, most of my listeners believe it to be
Speaker 1: the Biden, the former Obama administration and those that are
Speaker 1: still around, because Barack Obama didn't go far go very
Speaker 1: far away after he left office. So is that new's
Speaker 1: behind all this quote unquote strategy if you can even
Speaker 1: call this a strategy.
Speaker 8: I think that Joe Biden has some loyalists, and I
Speaker 8: think the chief loyalist is Joe Biden. I think Joe Biden,
Speaker 8: you know, really wants power, really wants to be in
Speaker 8: the spotlight. I think that you know, she has a
Speaker 8: lot of influence with Joe Biden's thinking, maybe as the
Speaker 8: enforcer behind the scenes with Joe Biden's you know, top deputies,
Speaker 8: But the bottom line is they have covered up Joe
Speaker 8: Biden's mental infirmities for four years and that came to
Speaker 8: the forefront in such a way that he had to
Speaker 8: drop out of the presidential race, and they installed Kamala Harris,
Speaker 8: which you know, was a terrible candidate, but Joe Biden
Speaker 8: was also a terrible candidate.
Speaker 2: And so I guess what we get is.
Speaker 8: Another more four years of a terrific President Trump.
Speaker 1: Well, let's hope that the Republicans hurry up and get
Speaker 1: a whole lot done before the midterm elections, because you know,
Speaker 1: if history is any guy, the party in power typically
Speaker 1: loses seats and we back to square one and do nothing.
Speaker 1: Congress going back.
Speaker 8: If I could interject, if I could, oh yeah, please,
Speaker 8: I think I think one thing that happens when Republicans
Speaker 8: at powers, they don't use their voters give them the
Speaker 8: power to make changes, and they in the past have
Speaker 8: done very little. Yes, And so the hope is in
Speaker 8: the next four years that Donald Trump installs the men
Speaker 8: and women that he would like to help him change government.
Speaker 8: We need to drain the swamp, we need to fire
Speaker 8: people in these federal bureaucracies. And without doing that, we're
Speaker 8: just going to be trying to tread water for the
Speaker 8: next four years, and then you're right, we're going to
Speaker 8: have no results because guess what, Donald Trump promised for
Speaker 8: four years that he would drain the swamp. And so
Speaker 8: if he delivers on that promise, I think Americans are
Speaker 8: going to be very happy they elected Donald Trump to
Speaker 8: do so.
Speaker 1: Well. Indeed they did now and something I'm a little
Speaker 1: disheartened by but kind of expecting is along the lines
Speaker 1: of the Republicans not you know, using the power that
Speaker 1: the voters have given them by giving them a majority.
Speaker 1: They gave We got the Exacts, kid, we got the House,
Speaker 1: got the Senate. Fine, it's time to get something done.
Speaker 1: I saw an op ed piece just the other day
Speaker 1: on the Inflation Reduction Act, the Green New Deal, and
Speaker 1: you got all these Republican states that are giving getting
Speaker 1: a lot of green money to keep carbon out of
Speaker 1: the environment, even though it's a naturally occurring plant food,
Speaker 1: and they're going, well, WHOA, Well, maybe not so fast.
Speaker 1: I don't know that we're gonna backpedal and completely get
Speaker 1: rid of the Inflation Reduction Act because he Hey, look
Speaker 1: I'm in Nebraska, and you know, we get a lot
Speaker 1: of money in corn subsidies, so we can burn food
Speaker 1: in our gas tank and it would really hurt our
Speaker 1: farmers if we take away that, and we're gonna make
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money on carbon capture. It's all
Speaker 1: a fiction. It's created out a whole cloth for through legislation,
Speaker 1: has no binding a connection with reality. And yet I'm
Speaker 1: worried the Republicans are going to be defending this stuff
Speaker 1: just because, well, it's in their backyard.
Speaker 8: Under Donald Trump's leadership, there has been a political realignment
Speaker 8: occurring in this country, and that political realignment has not
Speaker 8: yet been completed. The next four years, hopefully we can
Speaker 8: get a little bit further. But the reason why Republicans
Speaker 8: are so weak is because we have a lot of
Speaker 8: Republicans who are actually just establishment Democrats who vote with
Speaker 8: the Democrats, who want everything that the Democrats want, and
Speaker 8: who go to cocktail parties and you know, drink the
Speaker 8: same drinks and cheers each other when they get their
Speaker 8: huge paydays.
Speaker 5: And so.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 8: The continuing, the continuing cleaving of these essentially establishment Democrats
Speaker 8: from Congress will make a difference over.
Speaker 1: The long haul.
Speaker 8: It's very difficult to make changes without a party who
Speaker 8: has cohesion and right now the Republican Party is the
Speaker 8: party that is the reform party, and we just have
Speaker 8: some stragglers that we need to remove from office like Collins,
Speaker 8: mrcau ski, McConnell. These people are snakes and they're holding
Speaker 8: the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: Back words that certainly resonate with my listening audience. Now
Speaker 1: before I would like you to either support my enthusiasm
Speaker 1: Wendel or burst the bubble of my enthusiasts, or perhaps
Speaker 1: somewhere in between. I love the idea of this DOE
Speaker 1: Department of Government efficiency. It's not part of government. It's
Speaker 1: like two brilliant guys sitting in a room just going
Speaker 1: through line by line the ridiculous spending in all areas
Speaker 1: of government and cutting them and giving these recommendations to Congress,
Speaker 1: who can then act on them. Vv A Grahma swimming
Speaker 1: and of course Elon Musk. Neither of them need the
Speaker 1: money that might come with a paying position. They are
Speaker 1: brilliant at business and they've been down this road before
Speaker 1: in terms of the challenges of businesses and making a
Speaker 1: profitable entity. Do you think they can actually bring about
Speaker 1: effective change and cut the size and scope of government
Speaker 1: or am I smoking something?
Speaker 8: Were going to give them an opportunity. I don't see
Speaker 8: why they could not follow through on it unless they're
Speaker 8: just lying to us. But the good news is that
Speaker 8: Donald Trump has nominated a man named Russe Vote to
Speaker 8: be OMB director. That's the Office of Management and Budget.
Speaker 8: And the Office of Management and Budget is a significant
Speaker 8: department because it oversees in the implementation of Trump's vision
Speaker 8: across the executive branch through acting funding that different agencies request.
Speaker 8: And so my understanding is that Vivic and Musk are
Speaker 8: going to be working with Vote on how to actually
Speaker 8: acts this waste. And Vote was in there before as
Speaker 8: acting O and B director during Trump's first administration and
Speaker 8: if you remember when Trump said okay, no more funding
Speaker 8: for Ukraine and they tried to impeach Donald Trump over
Speaker 8: at RUSS Vote was at the nucleus of that. And
Speaker 8: so I think we have a strong team going into
Speaker 8: going into the next four years. I will hopefully follow
Speaker 8: through on their promises.
Speaker 1: Well, supporting my enthusiasm to a certain degree, tempering it
Speaker 1: a little bit, which is what you're well, what's hear
Speaker 1: about all about Wenda? Who's both been great having you

Speaker 10: Ingram on fifty five care has seen the talk station.
Speaker 1: It is a thirty to fifty five kerc DE talk
Speaker 1: station Tuesdays. At this time, I mean it is time
Speaker 1: for the Daniel Davis Deep dive. Retired haired Lieutenant Colonel
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis providing thoughtful and insightful analysis about well feel
Speaker 1: the battlefields and the various battlefields we discussed every week,
Speaker 1: and today we're back to Russia, Ukraine. We'll talk a
Speaker 1: little Belarus as well as Georgia. Daniel Davis. Always a
Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on my program, my friend. Good
Speaker 1: to see you again. Always a pleasure to be here, Brian.
Speaker 1: So we have saboteurs in Russia. We've had saboteurs really
Speaker 1: all over the place. There's been a lot of this
Speaker 1: stuff going on for quite some time in Russia. There's
Speaker 1: a growing amount of saboteurs in Europe as well. They're
Speaker 1: starting to real concerned about that.
Speaker 15: Honestly, it's it's warfare, and it takes all the different places,
Speaker 15: from the front lines of the battle, to the diplomatic calls,
Speaker 15: and to the economic in the in the various places
Speaker 15: where war material are made. So this is certainly no surprise,
Speaker 15: and it's just another ugly part of war.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 1: And I try to start off normally on a more
Speaker 1: intelligent basis, the springboard to enter into our conversations. But
Speaker 1: I just was observing during this whole discussion we've had
Speaker 1: weeks in and now years. I guess about the Russia
Speaker 1: Ukraine situation. Russia typically is presented as or at least
Speaker 1: appears to have sort of a unified front. It's people
Speaker 1: are all behind Vladimir Putin, everybody's on his side. You know,
Speaker 1: They've got the troops, they've got the the the armaments,
Speaker 1: and they're making inroads into Ukraine. Ukraine's divide to Ukraine's
Speaker 1: filled with a bunch of Russians who don't want to
Speaker 1: be a part of Ukraine. All they're trying to do
Speaker 1: is liberate. I mean, yeah, that's the fog of war.
Speaker 1: We talk about it a lot, but didn't realize that
Speaker 1: Putin himself was having problems domestically, which I can't say
Speaker 1: that I'm disappointed about. I'm no fan of Vladimir Putin,
Speaker 1: even I know he's probably gonna end up winning this
Speaker 1: war with Ukraine.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, he is gonna end up winning it.
Speaker 15: I mean, the fundamentals are really irreversible. They're so far
Speaker 15: in Russia's favor, and the biggest issue is manpower. Ukraine
Speaker 15: is suffering by Ukrainian reports, Western reports up to one
Speaker 15: hundred thousand desertions.
Speaker 4: When that number is just skyrocketing, you just can't I.
Speaker 1: Fought like that I didn't have any chance to win.
Speaker 15: But I'd be careful a little bit about some of
Speaker 15: these reports coming out of Rush about dissent or whatnot,
Speaker 15: because it's comparatively small. We'll see if it develops into anything,
Speaker 15: but I honestly think it's gonna be too little, too late,
Speaker 15: and it's unclear just how widespread it actually is.
Speaker 1: Well it seems, and I'm not sure if the election
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump had an impact on this, but I
Speaker 1: hear Zelonsky now talking about maybe some sort of negotiating
Speaker 1: a peace deal. I see that maybe there was a
Speaker 1: ceasfire negotiating between Israel and Lebanon. I mean, is Trump
Speaker 1: gonna be is Trump consequential in these seemingly like baby
Speaker 1: steps toward can I I don't know if I dare
Speaker 1: use the word peace in this conversation, but some sort
Speaker 1: of settlement agreements or some resolution of these conflicts, well.
Speaker 15: Without question, there was a major, major impact on the
Speaker 15: Russia Ukraine War, or far more than anything in Israel,
Speaker 15: though I'll talk about that separately.
Speaker 4: The issue with the Ukraine side is.
Speaker 15: That buzz Valinski, vlodimers Zelensky is doing everything he can
Speaker 15: to try to avoid the Trump effect.
Speaker 4: I mean, he still wants weapons, he still wants all
Speaker 4: these things.
Speaker 15: He's trying to get people still, even in this eleventh hour,
Speaker 15: to try to give him more weapons and more ammunition
Speaker 15: so he can have a better negotiating position. But then
Speaker 15: when in this sky News interview you're talking about here
Speaker 15: a few days back, when you listen to him.
Speaker 4: He still doesn't want to give up anything.
Speaker 15: He still says, well, it's illegal for me to give
Speaker 15: up any territory for peace, but we're going to have
Speaker 15: to for you know, to get the hot phase over.
Speaker 15: But then we'll get it back later as long as
Speaker 15: we have NATO. That's the reason why Russia went to
Speaker 15: war in the first place. So that's a complete non starter.
Speaker 15: So look, Trump is coming in and he has unequivocally
Speaker 15: said he's going to end the fighting.
Speaker 4: He's not going to keep supporting it.
Speaker 15: So I think that Zelensky should probably recognize what's happening
Speaker 15: and move into a direction that makes some sense.
Speaker 4: Is the one he's going is not gonna work well.
Speaker 1: And let's go back to the point you made early on,
Speaker 1: and I read the same information. The desertion level in
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian forces is really high. And you can have
Speaker 1: all the weapons in the world laying around, but if
Speaker 1: you have somebody to use them, it's not gonna do you.
Speaker 1: Witsworth a good it's become some big ammo dump that
Speaker 1: that computin's gonna come in and take advantage of himself
Speaker 1: when he runs over the territory.
Speaker 15: Well, and you know when there was another really peculiar
Speaker 15: thing he said in an interviewed. So remember in the
Speaker 15: context here back in May, we finally passed that sixty
Speaker 15: one billion dollar deal that everybody at the time said
Speaker 15: was decisive and was going to make a difference or whatever.
Speaker 4: We didn't see it make any difference at all.
Speaker 15: But now then that Biden is trying to get those
Speaker 15: last I think eight billion dollars out the door before
Speaker 15: January twentieth, you know, to just surge the zone. As
Speaker 15: Jake Sullivan said in an interview, you had Zelensky saying,
Speaker 15: we have ten brigades and we've been trying for a
Speaker 15: year to get them outfitted, and we've only got two
Speaker 15: and a half. So then the question is where did
Speaker 15: all that money go and what did it Bob, Because
Speaker 15: you're telling me you have seven and a half brigades
Speaker 15: with no equipment.
Speaker 4: And you don't have enough people, and they're deserting, et cetera.
Speaker 4: Everywhere you look. This thing has just fallowed apart.
Speaker 1: Well, I think most of my listening audiences aware that
Speaker 1: Ukraine and not exactly the most upright country in terms of,
Speaker 1: you know, lack of corruption. It has been a long
Speaker 1: time problem with corruption. Goes back to you know, Biden
Speaker 1: withholding a billion dollars of aid because well they had
Speaker 1: a little problem there with the prosecutors in Barisima holdings.
Speaker 1: Interesting connection there. So it doesn't shock me that maybe
Speaker 1: some of the resources we've sent to that country have
Speaker 1: gone missing. We can't even do our own accounting of
Speaker 1: our own American military here with our own resources dead.
Speaker 4: Well, there's true, Yeah, we can't. Even the Pentagon has
Speaker 4: never passed to an audience.
Speaker 15: So I don't know why we think Ukraine's going to
Speaker 15: be able to but you see on the battlefield that
Speaker 15: it has an impact, Yes it does. And unlessa we
Speaker 15: haven't talked about the situation in Israel for a while,
Speaker 15: so let's get your an update on your current position relatives.
Speaker 15: I know it looks like Lebanon's might be settling down
Speaker 15: a little bit, and there's always breaches of the ceasefire agreements,
Speaker 15: but where are we visa the Lebanon, Israel and I
Speaker 15: guess Goz as well, Yeah, there's a couple of different
Speaker 15: factors in some positive, some not so positive. For Israel,
Speaker 15: you got to admit and can see that the militarily
Speaker 15: they have been really devastating to the entire Hezbela organization,
Speaker 15: from the top all the way down to that pager
Speaker 15: and walkie talkie attack. The decapitation of all the leadership
Speaker 15: and then the physical incursion there has had an absolute
Speaker 15: devastating effect on Hisbola and that was one of the
Speaker 15: reasons why they.
Speaker 4: Agreed to the ceasefire.
Speaker 15: Israel agreed to the ceas far because they were having
Speaker 15: real problems with casualties and their reserve forces have been
Speaker 15: on duty so long. I think we're into the fourteenth now,
Speaker 15: heading toward the fifteenth month of overall conflict, and they
Speaker 15: need a breather as well.
Speaker 4: But then you also see that Iran had.
Speaker 15: Been promising after the last Israeli attack that they would
Speaker 15: retaliating responding kind. But now then they were the first
Speaker 15: ones to get behind the ceasefire against Hezbola, so they're
Speaker 15: also licking their wounds. So bossom line is it's kind
Speaker 15: of put a lull on things and give people a
Speaker 15: chance to breathe. But the problem is none of the
Speaker 15: underlying conditions that led to war in the first place
Speaker 15: or even being addressed, and you had this whole problem
Speaker 15: still raging in Gaza. So you know, we're not out
Speaker 15: of the woods yet, but there is at least a
Speaker 15: breather on a couple of fronts. And before we part company.
Speaker 15: Daniel Davison, I always enjoy these conversations. I wanna jump
Speaker 15: over back to Russia. I've read reports that they're han't
Speaker 15: been a problem with their currency. The ruble is not
Speaker 15: doing real well. And if the backbone of your system
Speaker 15: of government, obviously the ruble is collapsing, that causes you
Speaker 15: real long term problems and even short term problems. Is
Speaker 15: there any truth or connection with what's going on in
Speaker 15: terms of the war situation, the relationship with the Iranians
Speaker 15: or anybody else over there, that the ruble is causing
Speaker 15: or impacting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has.
Speaker 4: It has spiked of late.
Speaker 15: It also spiked in the first part of the war,
Speaker 15: like really, really high, and of course that's what everybody
Speaker 15: first thought. The sanctions we're going to have their crippling effect,
Speaker 15: and then their you know, their institutions, their financial institutions
Speaker 15: took action at the government level and brought it back.
Speaker 4: Down to a stable area. Now it's seeing another.
Speaker 15: Spiked It's a little bit surprising in that it's coming,
Speaker 15: you know, a month or so after month and a
Speaker 15: half now after the Bricks meeting, which was to solidify
Speaker 15: their economic base or so. It's it's still a little
Speaker 15: early to see if this is a blip or if
Speaker 15: it's going to be an indication of something more serious,
Speaker 15: because if it keeps going in that direction, it will
Speaker 15: cause ripple effects across their entire economy. But of course
Speaker 15: they're going to do whatever they can to try and
Speaker 15: get that back under control. We'll have to wait and
Speaker 15: see whether they succeed or whether this is just an
Speaker 15: indicator of more trouble to come.
Speaker 1: Well, our popcorn will stay out in the meantime. I'll
Speaker 1: look forward to another discussion next Tuesday, Deep Die with
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis. Find them online the end of day with
Speaker 1: Deep Dive search for the podcast. You're gonna love what
Speaker 1: he has to say. I always enjoy our conversations, my friend,
Speaker 1: and already looking forward to another one next week. You
Speaker 1: have a great week, say thirty nine. If you have
Speaker 1: KRCD talk station, We're gonna talk blood cancer. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk blood cancer. Coming up with the OHC folks and
Speaker 1: got some really really of course, it's always positive information
Speaker 1: coming from OHC about treatments, so excuse me. My next guest,
Speaker 1: doctor Akash Mckerjee will be speaking about that, giving us
Speaker 1: some details on how the new treatments are going to
Speaker 1: be working for solid tumors. Got car team you talk about,
