WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.439 Five O five, a fifty five k r C detalk station. 2 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:26.600 Happy Tuesday. 3 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.079 They had to take the top of my head off 4 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.079 a couple of times. See if you had a brain, 5 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.039 where'd you find that one? It's an old I'm surprised 6 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.600 you haven't run that one more often. Joe's Tracker Brian Thomas, 7 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.479 happy to be here and very happy Tuesday to the listeners. 8 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.719 And thank you to Joe Tracker for, as he typically does, 9 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.920 kick off the morning with a funny SoundBite. Uh, and 10 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:53.960 for lining up the show. I always give you Joe 11 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.600 credit for the lineup, and of course he deserves credit 12 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.200 for the lineup because he's responsible for putting it together. Today, 13 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.799 Todd's Endser returns. He'll be in studios about his op 14 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:08.799 ed piece not published in the online edition of the 15 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:13.159 Sinsinni Inquirer. That's a frustrating thing for me, because you know, 16 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.079 I've got an online subscription to the Inquirer, and say 17 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.959 what you want, I like to follow local news. But 18 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.359 the idea that you know what you get online is 19 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.079 not all there. It's absent from the mean that the 20 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.920 paper has information in it that the online edition has 21 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.040 and I think in many cases the converse is true, 22 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.560 how come it all isn't available in the exact same place. 23 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.200 Maybe someday we can ask that question answered anyway, Toddleby 24 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.200 instudied to talk about why the council. Since a city 25 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.599 council has to deal with the pension liability about a 26 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.920 lot more aggressively, and there is a substantial outstanding pension liability, 27 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.560 don't think they've ever out loud addressed it. So Todd's 28 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.560 ends are always doing a great, great job looking out 29 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.920 for matters of significant local importance. So seven oh five 30 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.879 with Todden Studio looking forward to having him back. Tim Rivers. 31 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.240 We've had Tim on quite a few times the American 32 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.960 ghulagg chronicles, and now that Hunter Biden's pardon are the 33 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.400 January sixth prisoners next to deal with that in an 34 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.400 op ed piece of William mcgerrn here in a moment, 35 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.400 at least to a small degree, he touches upon that 36 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:31.520 just briefly, but his pros is brilliant as we deal 37 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.599 with the aftermath and the realities of what Joe Biden's 38 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.159 pardon of his son actually means. Inside Scoop it is Tuesday. 39 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.599 We do the inside Scoop with bright Barton News Today 40 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:48.319 eighth five political reporter Wendell Hughes abo on, Yes, Hunter Biden. 41 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.439 And finally, Daniel will not finally find Daniel Davis Deep 42 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.159 Dive every Tuesday at A eight thirty. Today, the retired 43 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.319 lieutenant colonel will discuss Russia, Belarus and Georgia might even 44 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.000 have to throw at him the whole idea of russ 45 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.159 is ruble currency deteriorating and see if that has any 46 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:08.719 implication and impact. And finally, my friends from OHC, the 47 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.599 cancer specialists, today we will talk about blood cancers. Oh 48 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.960 what a coincidence since I have a lymphoma diagnosis. Anyway, 49 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.240 That'll be at eight forty five, and I'm looking forward 50 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.759 to that. Always very interesting with OHC and actually uplifting 51 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.919 from my perspective, learning about the new treatments that are 52 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.120 out there and the progress we were making and getting 53 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.240 closer and closer to I think a broader cure for cancer. 54 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.439 It's something I look forward to. So having OHC back 55 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.080 on the program at the tail end of the program 56 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.400 in eight forty five, I hope you can be around 57 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.199 for that. Remember when you can't be around for it, 58 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.759 always your code of fifty five carec dot com, get 59 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:48.360 your podcasts and get your iHeart media apps. You can 60 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.360 stream the audio wherever you happen to be, and you 61 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.439 can always feel free to call five one, three, seven, 62 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.400 four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two 63 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.879 to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. 64 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.520 Is I like to always call it standing on the 65 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.879 shoulder of giants? And there are so many op ed 66 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.199 pieces and houses and discussions of the wise, the wherefores 67 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.719 and what will this mean? In connection with Joe Biden's 68 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.280 well seemingly last minute decision to change his mind. Now, 69 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.319 maybe it had been planned for a long time. It's 70 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.600 good to be Hunter Biden, headlined today in the op 71 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.439 ed piece by William mcgern. As he points out, no 72 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.680 one was surprised Sunday evening when Joe Biden wanted officially 73 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.639 he was pardoning his son. Surprised was the statement that 74 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.000 the President issued along with a pardon. He blamed his 75 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:40.519 political opponents in Congress for the woes facing Hunter Biden. 76 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.920 Mcgern observes that some will empathize with the father doing 77 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.199 what he can keep his son out of prison. Maybe, 78 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.480 but fast forwarding in the op ed. But what is 79 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.199 striking about the President's statement is that it speaks of 80 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.800 writing a wrong done to Hunter, not extending mercy to 81 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.000 a man who suffered enough with his own wrongdoing. It'd 82 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.480 be illuminating to see if similar empathy is extended to 83 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.480 those imprisoned for actions at the Capitol on January sixth, 84 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.680 twenty twenty one. Going back to Tim Rivers, American Gulag 85 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.279 chronicles joining the program later, if Donald Trump issues pardons, 86 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.480 some of them committed violent acts, but some were given 87 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.959 sentences that were excessive. To repurpose Joe Biden's words about 88 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.519 his son quote, no reasonable person who looks at the 89 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.800 facts could reach any other conclusion close quote true. How 90 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.120 different the conversation today is from a few months ago 91 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.639 when Biden calculated that even talking about a pardon might 92 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.079 cost him the reelection. Remember, folks, Joe Biden was still 93 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.439 running for president when he uttered the statements that he 94 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:52.399 would not pardon his son. Right, he was still a 95 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.839 well some would argue, a viable candidate. That wasn't me, 96 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.839 And props to the listener who gave me credit for 97 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.600 calling it in advance that Joe Biden would not be 98 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.120 the presidential nominee. I called the date wrong when I 99 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.079 first made that pronouncement, I said they pulled the plug 100 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.800 on Joe Biden before December of last year. Well, okay, 101 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.839 it took a lot longer than that, but they still 102 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.079 pulled the plug on. So I guess I can chalk 103 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.040 one up in the at least partial win category for 104 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.920 my ta leaf reading. Ignoring that though, but remember he 105 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.879 was a candidate at the time, he said he would 106 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.639 not pardon his son. Interview on ABC News in June 107 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.800 while Hunter's trial was going on, David, you're, as the 108 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.360 president if he would accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, 109 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.920 no matter what it is. Biden. Yes. The follow up 110 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.639 by mirror and have you ruled out a pardon for 111 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:49.920 your son? Biden response yes. One week later, after the 112 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.360 jury found Hunter guilty, the president was again asked by reporters, 113 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.120 this is the Group of Seven summit nintally quote. I said, 114 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.759 I'd abide by the jury to decision, and I will 115 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.759 do that. I will not pardon him. That's a quote. 116 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.199 Miss mcgerrn observes. All that was missing was I give 117 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.879 you my word as a Biden and no one believed 118 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.360 him as mcgarn points out everyone knew the promise was 119 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.399 meant only to bury the issue through election day. The 120 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.399 idea that he came up with a decision to pardon 121 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.839 Hunter for Thanksgiving holiday doesn't pass the smell test. It 122 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.800 was always going to happen if Hunter face the real 123 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.800 prospect of jail time, and everybody knew it, especially Hunter. 124 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.519 President Biden's promised not to pardon his son was the 125 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.800 only wasn't the only whopper He's told He denied meeting 126 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.800 Hunter overseas business associates, when in fact he did. He 127 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.120 also insisted during the twenty twenty presidential debate that when 128 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.040 with mister Trump, that Hunter had taken no money from China, 129 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:59.560 something Hunter later admitted to doing in federal court. Many 130 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.720 were happy to joined the president in the Hunter falsehood. 131 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:06.519 Most notorious the fifty one former intelligence officials, mostly veterans 132 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.800 of the Obama administration, who tried to ward off honest 133 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.600 reporting about Hunter's laptop. They jumped in right after The 134 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.720 New York Posts verified the laptop's providence in twenty twenty. 135 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.839 The paper had reported the incriminating emails amount Hunter's sordid 136 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:25.519 business dealings in Ukraine counts in weasel words that they 137 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.879 knew would be lost in the reporting. The fifty one 138 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.159 declared the email's head quote all the classic earmarks of 139 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:37.159 a Russian information operation. Wells quote we now know. The 140 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.360 statement was ginned up at the suggestion of Anthony Blncoln, 141 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.759 the future Secretary of State, who was then working for 142 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:50.919 the Biden campaign. The stated is dated October nineteenth, twenty twenty, 143 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.240 and it worked during his final presidential debate three days later, 144 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.039 Biden's side of the fifty one without caveats when Trump 145 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.559 brought up what he called the Laptop from Hell. Biden's 146 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.120 response said, the former national intelligence folks that said the 147 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.519 laptop emails were a bunch of garbage Biden's words. This 148 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.440 was less than two weeks before the election, by the 149 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.519 time the truth finally caught up with the story Biden's president. 150 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.879 Same goes for Biden's claim that the justice system has 151 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:28.679 been infected by raw politics. In Hunter, Biden's case, the 152 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.000 president is right, but not in the way he pretends. 153 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.559 Attorney General Mary Garland presided over a Justice department that 154 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:42.759 at every turn gave Hunter kid glove treatment, including letting 155 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.120 the statute limitations expire for the most serious tax evasion 156 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.639 charges against Hunter, also including a sweetheart plea deal designed 157 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.039 to bury the whole affair until Judge Marilyn Norieka asked 158 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:59.120 some basic questions in court that the prosecution just couldn't answer. 159 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.360 Then mister Garland elevated the man who orchestrated this sweetheart 160 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.519 deal to special counsel. The pardon is the only the 161 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:14.840 latest the Biden promises broken. It was timed to present 162 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.480 Hunter Biden's sentencing scheduled for December twelfth on the gun 163 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:25.480 charges and December sixteenth on the tax charges. The expansive 164 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.240 breadth of the pardon, which lets Hunter skate not only 165 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.919 on the crimes he was convicted of, but on any 166 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.440 he may have committed in the past almost eleven years, 167 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.960 indicates the President may be worried about other Hunter criminal 168 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:48.320 activities coming to light. President likes to say, especially when 169 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.120 moralizing about Trump, no one is above the law. When 170 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.840 asked Monday about the president's clearly broken promises not to 171 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.360 pardon Hunter, I love this. White House Press Secretary Kreeen 172 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.360 Jean Pierre said her boss has all always believed in being, 173 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:06.799 in her words, truthful to the American people. That is 174 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.600 perhaps the biggest live all and the most fitting end 175 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.519 to the Biden presidency, well stated William mcgarden. One of 176 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.879 just like a multitude of brilliantly written op ed pieces 177 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.720 that serve as a wonderful springboard for conversation today, which 178 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.240 I will enjoy having with you if you're going to 179 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.039 give me a call five one, three, seven, four, nine, 180 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.399 fifty eight hundred eight two to three talk found five 181 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.240 fifty on eight and t phones hang around with me. 182 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:41.360 Right back, honey Field, and time for the nine first 183 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.559 warning weather forecasts.

I 196 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.759 think that's the first time I ever said those words 197 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.440 out loud. We have been lied to and cheated and 198 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:53.600 stolen from and it's just absolutely appalling, and it continues. 199 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.440 Let me look at this one, Hunter Biden Thing five 200 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.559 three seven fifty y two three talk listener lunch tomorrow, 201 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.519 Price Chili Hoop to see you there.

I don't think he 206 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.559 wants me to reveal his true identity tomorrow, So Santa 207 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.279 Claus will be there, Wish Tree will be there.

Always enjoy the 210 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:29.679 fellowship and looking forward to that, so put it down 211 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:33.799 on your calendar. It's also, you know, interestingly enough, my 212 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:39.159 how time flies. This is the forty fifth anniversary of 213 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.960 the Who Concert tragedy forty five years. I had a 214 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.840 friend who was there, older brother of a good friend 215 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.600 of mine at the time, and I remember him talking 216 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.000 about it. It was just the the intensity of the 217 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.679 crowd and the pushing. He said, I could pick my 218 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.360 feet up off the ground and the crowd would hold 219 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.240 me up in the air. They were packed in so tightly, 220 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.559 and of course if you had the misfortune of falling, 221 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.840 it was impossible to get back up, which is how 222 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:14.600 many people lost their lives. Basically suffocation, just terrible, terrible 223 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:22.600 tragedy and the end of festival seating. Anyhow, I was 224 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.759 thinking about more of these, the analysis of this Hunter 225 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:32.120 Biden pardon on the heels of him saying over and 226 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.399 over and over again that he wouldn't pardon his son. 227 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.679 His son had been treated differently by the Justice Department 228 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.000 and singled out because he was my son, and that 229 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.519 is wrong that in the statement. But you were called 230 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.519 the I R. S. Whistleblowers. This is really a profound point. 231 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:51.440 You know that treated differently, Your damn right, Hunter Biden 232 00:14:51.519 --> 00:15:01.440 was treated differently. Whistleblowers. Gary Shapley h and others. They 233 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.240 were there in front of the House Oversight Committee talking 234 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:07.159 about how federal officials prevented the Agents and IRS whistleblower 235 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.399 Gary Shapely from even interviewing Hunter Biden. They wouldn't let 236 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.000 them follow up on their investigation. The point, but if 237 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.679 Joe Biden thought the prosecution of his sons was unjust, 238 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.440 why has he never uttered those words until now at 239 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.360 the when he issued the pardon. Not once. I will 240 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.360 not interfere with the judge. I will not interfere with 241 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.600 the wheels of justice. I am not going to, you know, interfere. 242 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.679 I'm going to honor whatever the jury determines. He never 243 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.399 once said that this it was he was being treated 244 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:44.240 poorly or singled out for prosecution, because all the facts 245 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:48.919 suggest Hunter Biden got the pass of a lifetime. They 246 00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:55.279 let the statute limitations just expire on the most egregious offenses, 247 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.440 the literally millions and millions of dollars that flowed into 248 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:05.360 the Biden family. And that's why most people behind the 249 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:07.279 scenes and people have been paying attention to this thing 250 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.559 realized that this pardon was coming for miles and miles away. 251 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.519 It's just the setting for the pardon doesn't match up 252 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.360 with what Joe Biden said when he issued the pardon, 253 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.360 he had a multitude of opportunities to say his son 254 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.240 was being singled out. But but wait a second, Joe Biden, ers, 255 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:27.519 what do you mean your son's being singled out? How 256 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.399 is it that the irs was prevented from moving forward 257 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.919 with its investigation of the millions of dollars that were 258 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.279 flowing into all of these you know, corporations and sub 259 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:46.519 corporations and LLC's and millions of dollars, the giant diamond 260 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.720 that the former mayor of what was it Moscow or 261 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:55.360 something gave him, the Chinese Communist Party money that flowed 262 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.480 right into his pockets, and the coffers of the Biden family, 263 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.120 all of that he had an opportunity to speak to 264 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.319 about being unjustly targeted. But well, there's the facts and 265 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.880 the evidence. I may as well keep my damn mouth 266 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.799 shut and say, nope, it's never gonna happen. I'm not 267 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.880 going to pardon if he did something wrong, I'm gonna, 268 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:20.720 you know, just follow the law. Just this past center, 269 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:25.680 after he was convicted a trial, Joe Biden rejected the 270 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.200 idea of the pardon. I will accept the outcome of 271 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:35.079 this case and will continue to respect the judicial process. Then, 272 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.319 of course the statement on Sunday when he issued the 273 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.319 pardon made it obvious that he well did not accept 274 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:49.319 i'll come or respect the process. I like this observation 275 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:53.400 and tried to James Freeman. What really was wrong was 276 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.480 the way Joe Biden, his vice president, facilitated his family's 277 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.480 foreign in Richmond schemes and then repeatedly made false claims 278 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.799 about him. Maybe future memoirs will explain how the shady 279 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.279 Biden cast collection ventures ever made it past the Obama 280 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:12.640 White House General Counsel's office. The question that's remained unanswered 281 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.640 for all these years and still remains unanswered what the 282 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:22.640 various foreign oligarchs got in return for the millions of 283 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.960 dollars they sent to the Biden family. It's an interesting 284 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.119 question to ponder. Maybe you have an answer for that. 285 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.200 We'll probably be waiting around for a long time before well, 286 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.359 some book is written and we get a clear, definitive response. 287 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:37.759 About twenty seven and fifty five Karsten Talk Station local 288 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:39.559 stories coming up, Feel free to call got to stack 289 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:41.839 a stupid coming up as well.

I miss your voice. 326 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:50.240 I missed calling in. 327 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:50.799 Trust me. 328 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:54.640 Uh everybody everybody else gets to hear it. They're going 329 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:56.480 to hear it regardless of whether I call it anyway. 330 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.640 So I did want to throw my two cents. And 331 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.160 I know we're like a month late, you know, after 332 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:09.000 the election, but uh, I was nauseously relieved for the results. 333 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.759 And I'm gonna keep hammering this point to everybody that 334 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.319 I talked to. Uh, it's not time to let off 335 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.559 the gas. It's not time to celebrate spike the football. Nothing. 336 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.799 We If you just pay attention to the reactions of 337 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:27.480 a lot of Democrats and liberals. They're not giving up. No, 338 00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:29.640 they're they're not quitting. I mean, what was that guy, 339 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.400 David Jolly the other day he was on I don't 340 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.440 forget what show he's on. I saw the clip of him. 341 00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:35.880 Uh. 342 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:37.559 They're gonna double and triple down. 343 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:38.200 Uh. 344 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.359 They they're convinced that they're right, uh, and that their 345 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.240 way of doing things is correct, and they're convinced that 346 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.839 everything about Trump is wrong. And so there's no reason 347 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.079 to let up. There's no reason for them to stop. 348 00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:52.519 So therefore, we got to stay at our game, and 349 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.519 we got to make sure that we're talking to people 350 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.279 and continue to And I think one of the biggest 351 00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.480 factors that helped with the election is people just more 352 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.920 aware of the bs that's going on from the Democrats 353 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.920 and how much their policies are ruining the country. It's 354 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.000 not racism, it's not sexism, it's their policies suck. It's 355 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:13.920 just that that that's just what it comes down to. 356 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.319 And more and more people are realizing it, and they're 357 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.119 fed up with it, and they want to change, and 358 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.680 they want they want Hey, look, maybe we don't like 359 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.480 the way this guy talks or his personality. But come on, 360 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.559 we cannot keep giving our money away. We cannot keep 361 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.079 letting people steal our money and and taking away our 362 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.000 freedoms and rights and all that. We can't keep letting 363 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.079 that happen. So we got to keep it up. We 364 00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:38.119 got to, you know, continue to talk, share with people 365 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.799 the information that we have, and keep revealing all the 366 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.319 crap that these Democrats are pulling on everybody. And we 367 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.839 got to make sure we tell everybody continually, all the time, 368 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:51.519 every time, especially when elections coming up. Hey, it's less 369 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:54.599 than two years. We got a very razor thin margin 370 00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.559 in the House, so we got to make sure we 371 00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:58.880 tell everybody, don't vote Democrats. 372 00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.519 Have a great day, Tom, fantastic hearing from you. And Yes, 373 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:06.680 another observation you are channeling, I think the opinions of 374 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.640 many people who are paying attention to the fact that 375 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:16.960 the GOP barely won the House. Yes, going back to 376 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.359 another editorial, another message is that the GOP is about 377 00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:24.599 a year to get anything done. If midterm history is 378 00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:26.519 any guide, the party is likely to lose the House 379 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:29.079 in twenty twenty six, and the partisan Senate map is 380 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.319 challenging the GOP. A better pass legislation at once in 381 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.240 twenty twenty five, before member attention turns to political survival 382 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.839 in twenty twenty six. Yes, the elections barely even over, 383 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.680 and we're talking about that. It's going to require House 384 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:50.799 Republicans in particular to stick together as they haven't in years, 385 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.880 and will that happen? And I turned back to yesterday 386 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.279 and my observations about the Green New Deal, which Donald 387 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.880 Trump campaigned on getting rid of the multi, multi, multi 388 00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.279 trillion dollar boon doggle that so many Republican states are 389 00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:13.799 also benefiting from. So oh gosh, darn it. No, no, no, no, no, 390 00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:17.000 we here was in North Dakota. We can't get rid 391 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:20.759 of that. We want to do carbon capture and our 392 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:23.960 state's going to make two hundred plus million dollars over 393 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:32.160 overstoring carbon carbon dioxide, folks. And that's going to happen, 394 00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.000 and it's going to piss me off the no end. 395 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:35.559 I'll be bold enough to say that in the five 396 00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:39.119 o'clock hour, I am already upset and angry over what 397 00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:45.400 I know is going to be the political reality. The 398 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.599 money is too big and too fat, The boon doggles 399 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.319 are in place, and those Republicans who ran on getting 400 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.279 rid of all this nonsense are going to backpedal as 401 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.880 soon as they realize. Oh no, oh, my state's going 402 00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.519 to suffer financial because I don't buy this crap that 403 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.799 we have been selling. As a matter of principle, I 404 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.079 refuse to abide by the idea that I'm breathing our 405 00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:15.960 our globe into into oblivion. But no, I want to 406 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.279 do carbon capture in my state because we're gonna get 407 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.599 a lot of taxpayer dollars. So we're just we're just 408 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.200 not going to repeal that provision. We're gonna continue to 409 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:28.039 burn corn in our gas tanks for reasons completely unknown, 410 00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:31.000 but all predicated on that lie that I just mentioned. 411 00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:34.000 But no, because my state's gonna suffer, and the farmers 412 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.079 in my state are gonna hurt because we won't subsidize 413 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:43.640 their growth of food, which the globe needs anyway. Oh, 414 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:47.000 can you hear the anger in my voice? Don't go away, 415 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:48.799 be right back. Got to stack of stupid coming. 416 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.279 Out as we embrace the end of an eraor the 417 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.119 outcome of this election is not what we want. 418 00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:58.920 To defeat, does not mean we are defeated. There's plenty 419 00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:02.039 to celebrate this season I'm mixed at it. Hopefully this 420 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.000 isn't the last time I call in feeling this good. 421 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:05.240 I'm happy about everything. 422 00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:07.160 Yeah, I think he's got a great game of people 423 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:07.640 around him. 424 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:09.400 I just want the man protected. 425 00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.400 I am so excited about the potential to change his government. 426 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:16.000 And the conversation's happening here, it's really exciting. 427 00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:20.079 On fifty five KRC, the talk station, what's up, y'all 428 00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:24.599 is Cam Jordan from the nine first Ony weatherfork as says, 429 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.160 We've got a partly cloudy start of the day, It'll 430 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:28.920 be mostly sunny at some point thirty four for the 431 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.599 high overnight low at twenty three tomorrow, mostly cloudy, windy 432 00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:35.319 and forty two wintery mix overnight, maybe some snow dropping 433 00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:39.960 to twenty and uh sunny skies on Thursday with the 434 00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.480 higher twenty seven twenty two degrees.

What a nice early Christmas present 452 00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:43.559 was cool? It's been too long. I can't believe I well, 453 00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:45.440 I just saw Tom on the screen. It's been so 454 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.559 long since he called in like it was his allocated spot. 455 00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:50.960 I mean self appointed that as it was. I always 456 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:54.240 enjoyed hearing from and of course his message always resonates 457 00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:56.440 wonderfully with my listening audience. 458 00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:01.240 And yes, uh myself and my lovely Brian will be 459 00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:03.279 there and if you have difficulty finding me, I'll be 460 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.200 the one in the holiday Blazer, So I know that Blazer. 461 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.440 I look forward to seeing it at Christmas time every year. 462 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:10.880 So and you know you and I are going to 463 00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:13.799 have to get that game in because apparently the listener 464 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:18.440 lunch is on the same day as the iHeartMedia Christmas Party, 465 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.400 which starts at three o'clock here in the studio areas, 466 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.440 and I have promised to be there, so I may 467 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:27.480 be late in getting here because it is all the 468 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.200 way across town. But whatever, my problem's not yours. At 469 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.519 any event, We're going to play, and I'm going to 470 00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.680 try to kick your butt. I'll promise you I'll try 471 00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:37.480 absolutely as we all do. 472 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.200 Before I get to my point real quick, when you 473 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.160 mentioned the Who tragedy, Yeah, my younger sister, who was 474 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.880 eighteen at the time, was one of the thousand people 475 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.519 that went in on the opposite side of the arena, 476 00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.319 So no idea what had taken place. And if you 477 00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:55.839 can and may have plans to go out after the concert, 478 00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.039 so you can imagine that like my parents went through, 479 00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:01.440 as well as one hundred of other parents when my 480 00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:04.039 sister finally got home at like one two in the morning, 481 00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:09.640 and just the relief because the genesis was they were 482 00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:13.359 late starting their warm upset and when the people outside 483 00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.759 heard the music, they thought the concert had start exactly. 484 00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.599 Just unbelievable. 485 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.640 I can't believe it's been forty five years already. Getting 486 00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.880 to Hunter once again to emphasize what you said about 487 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:26.319 the special treatment, that yes, he did get special treatment, 488 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.200 but not in the way Uncle Joe wanted us to 489 00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:31.599 believe yesterday. Working in the casino industry, we deal with 490 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.799 suspicious activity reports almost on a daily basis, because the 491 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.880 magic threshold is ten thousand dollars either in or out. 492 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:40.920 You got to have your name, address, and social Security number, 493 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.119 and there's a lot of ways in the casino industry 494 00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.400 if you are actually laundering money to try and circumvent that. 495 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.440 So we like banks, have to submit suspicious activity reports 496 00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:53.519 to what is called FINSEN, what is the Financial Crime 497 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.160 Enforcement Network of the US government. He had hundreds, if 498 00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.920 not thousands of those because of the sloppy money laundering 499 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.920 that the grind of Biden crime family did throughout the 500 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.680 world and all these transactions. So, yes, uncle Joe, he 501 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.240 was treated properly because he should be behind bars. 502 00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.319 But do the pardon. 503 00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:14.359 But to throw that narrative on yesterday was just once again. 504 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:18.720 Ridiculous, ridiculous and insulting to any human being who's paid 505 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.960 even a measure of attention to the facts as they've 506 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.160 unfolded over the past couple of years. Absolutely, it's and 507 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:27.680 I even I think I said this out a lot 508 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.920 to someone yesterday on the program or is after it. 509 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.880 I mean that they have the audacity he or the 510 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.359 people who wrote this statement, have the audacity to suggest 511 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:39.359 that somehow he was picked on because. 512 00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:39.640 Of who he is. 513 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.599 And when you see how the kid gloves that they 514 00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.240 that they treated him with throughout the entire process, the 515 00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:50.200 slow walking of the investigation, everything, and then to come 516 00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:53.119 out and say that he was picked on, I'm I'm 517 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:58.119 just appalled. And is that them telling us like you, 518 00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.799 specifically Mike and and others who have paid attention and 519 00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:07.079 remember these facts, that we're all idiots, We're all we 520 00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:10.359 are so dumb. They assume that we are so dumb 521 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.920 that we don't remember any of this. That's the audacity 522 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.319 that they have. And I'm just I am so insulted 523 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:20.359 by it. I don't know how other I don't know 524 00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:21.279 how else to put. 525 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:24.880 It, But there are so millions of voters this year, 526 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:28.039 we're able to connect the dots once again of how 527 00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:30.160 they treat us and talk down to us, and I 528 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.759 hope this will be once again another piece of the 529 00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:35.200 puzzle in two years. As Tom mentioned, how critical the 530 00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.759 House is to once again reaffirm once again that elite status. 531 00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:41.319 Just vote for us, don't just believe what we tell you, 532 00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:44.160 and what you're going to emphasize here in this Wuhan 533 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.279 report once again to just affect the how not only 534 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:49.119 bending the truth, but just. 535 00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.680 Flat out lying to the flat out lying. It's just 536 00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:57.279 it's it's that's why I said them earlier in this 537 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.440 segment that I'm almost in arras to say, I'm a 538 00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:04.839 United States citizen. I just am appalled by the lies, 539 00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.839 absolute outright lies. I've always been appalled by the fraud, waste, 540 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:10.960 and abuse. And there's a whole bunch that I've got 541 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:12.920 to go over with. You mentioned that Wuhan report that 542 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:14.480 came out. I'm gonna get into the details on that 543 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.720 aft top of the hour, but literally billions and billions 544 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:20.559 and billions of dollars completely unaccounted for, and you kind 545 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:24.839 of wonder, I wonder whose pockets that money landed in. Hmmm. 546 00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:27.680 Appreciate the call, my friend, look forward to seeing tomorrow. 547 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:29.680 I got to take a break.

What's on your mind today, 578 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:54.759 my friend? 579 00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:58.200 Well, we all know about the forty five years with 580 00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.799 the WHO, but yeah, we won't have any more festival seating, 581 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:03.279 you know because of that. 582 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:05.599 One thing that is correct. 583 00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.360 And next thing is Falci. You know you got the 584 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.800 new Wuhan report came out. I'm just wondering why he 585 00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:15.360 still has a six thousand, excuse me, six million dollar 586 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:18.719 security detail on it. I have to leave an office 587 00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:19.519 for a couple. 588 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.599 Of years, probably because they knew the details that came 589 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.440 out yesterday would be revealed at some point. 590 00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:30.119 The next thing is the best one. Did you have 591 00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:31.679 a good Thanksgiving weekend. 592 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.320 Kidding me, Bobby, I had. I was like a pig, 593 00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.760 and you know what, just enjoyed the hell out of 594 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:42.519 it and the highlight. Not to discount my family and 595 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.960 the love and the embracing of all things holiday related. 596 00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:51.559 But taking a break from that blankety blank keto diet 597 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.159 and fully enjoying a full spread on Thanksgiving was like 598 00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.639 manna from heaven. Oh my god, it was so awesome. 599 00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:04.599 I swear I got stoned off off the pump carfee 600 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.679 pecan pie. It was amazing. 601 00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:09.079 I got stoned also, my brother. I tell you I 602 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.880 went to a party. It was multicultural, multi political. But 603 00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.039 I tell you what, I've spent the best thirty eight 604 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:16.639 dollars there spent in my life. 605 00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:18.320 I'm glad. 606 00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:21.719 There's nothing better than dust and open a bottle of 607 00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:23.800 Trump wine in front of a bunch of livers. 608 00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.519 Well, you engaged in a little politicking. I think one 609 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:33.480 of the nice things about the celebration on Thanksgiving for 610 00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:37.840 us not an utterance. Not a single syllable was said 611 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.079 about politics, and we all had plenty to talk about. 612 00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.800 We all smiled, enjoyed each other's company, told stories, and 613 00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:49.079 no words. No that the t word, The Trump word 614 00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:51.639 was never mentioned, the E word, the election word was 615 00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:57.320 never mentioned. Nothing of Republicans or Democrats. Just enjoyable conversation, Bobby. 616 00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:01.400 Great hearing from you today, brother, Always pleasure anyhow, and 617 00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:05.480 we'll get to that. All props to my son. I 618 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.559 will not mention names except to note that my son 619 00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:11.239 did the right thing and bit his tongue. One person 620 00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:13.519 at the table mentioned they were going to get their 621 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.679 multiple vaccines, one of which was you can get a 622 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:19.360 flu vaccine, get a COVID vaccine, you can get a 623 00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:23.840 shingles vaccine. It was the trifecta of vaccines that one 624 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:27.079 person mentioned that they were going to get, and my 625 00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:31.480 son wisely bit his tongue and did not say anything 626 00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:34.760 in reference to the COVID vaccine. We've got a lot 627 00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:36.239 to talk about at the top of the outer news 628 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:37.840 on that, and let's get to a stack of stupid 629 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:42.679 real quick here. After allegedly swiping a van, which she 630 00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:46.239 later sold for scrap, the Minnesota woman made it incriminating 631 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.199 entry into a personal journal. Police charge. Quote Vanessa Guerrera 632 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:54.400 in her journal personal journal, totally stole a car today 633 00:36:54.599 --> 00:37:01.079 exclamation points something I've never thought of doing. F wording 634 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:07.039 super freaking out about it. Close quote investigator's alleged at 635 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:10.480 the thirty year old Guerrera made that written admission of 636 00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:14.199 guilt on the same August day that a Brown County 637 00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:17.400 man reported his two thousand and four to four two 638 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.960 thousand and four Ford Free Star was stolen. Idiots doing 639 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:24.360 idiot things because they're idiots. That'd be a statement against 640 00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.760 interest if I recall my criminal law classes. Van where 641 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.280 two grand later sold for scrap and salvage business at 642 00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:35.239 a neighborhood Blue Earth County, where Guerrera resides. Witnesses at 643 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:38.360 the auto salvage business stated that Guerrera had bought, brought 644 00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:41.519 the van in, and then sold it to him, according 645 00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:44.599 to the criminal complaint. During the audit theft pro Brown 646 00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:48.119 County Sheriff's Office, investigator was able to locate a journal 647 00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:52.880 belonging to Guerrera containing her written exclamation that she totally 648 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:56.119 stole the car. Today. When contacted by the investigator, she 649 00:37:56.239 --> 00:38:00.440 denied knowing that the vehicle was stolen. Recently worked at 650 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:02.639 as a door dash driver and now been charged with 651 00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:06.639 a paraphilon who's receiving stolen property in theft. Previously been 652 00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:10.079 convicted of driving with a suspended license and driving without insurance. 653 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.360 In June, she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft, sentenced to 654 00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:15.039 a brief stand in the County Joe and placed on 655 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.599 unsupervised probation for a year. Not much of a criminal 656 00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:23.199 record on that one, but you know it is a 657 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:26.480 statement against interest. Most people are not inclined to make those. 658 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:29.239 Coming up on five efty sixty five Kirsteve Talks Station, 659 00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:32.440 the report is out. It is a damning indictment of 660 00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:36.960 all things COVID related. That the final report from the 661 00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:41.639 Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you, Congressman Brad Winster, 662 00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:43.920 while you're still Congressman for putting it all together and 663 00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.559 issuing the statement. We've got some details to dive on into, 664 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:51.199 some of which you will find absolutely appalling. I'll be 665 00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:53.360 right back after the top of the air news There 666 00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:55.320 we got again another US updates. 667 00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:56.199 We're going to get all the. 668 00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:58.760 Facts, an ear full of impromation at. 669 00:38:58.639 --> 00:38:59.480 The top of the hour. 670 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:03.800 Break it down fast fifty five krs the talk station. 671 00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:07.000 What's up? Yup to Welcome Wagan. I want to welcome you, 672 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:14.000 especially if you think differently weekdays at nine krs. It's 673 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:16.320 six oh six. Here a fifty five kr CD talk station. 674 00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:19.679 Bran Thomas wishing you're very happy Tuesday. Looking for tomorrow listener, 675 00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:23.320 lunch Price Hill chilling, and it is, believe it or not, 676 00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:25.440 I've been for it has been forty five years since 677 00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:28.440 the Hoop Concert tragedy, so everybody's got their own recollection. 678 00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:30.920 And that's kind of the Beverly Hill Supper Club. Obviously 679 00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:33.480 a far more tragic event, if you want to know 680 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:37.639 way tragedy, but wow, to me, it's the passage of 681 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:42.519 time that is really truly mind blowing. Anywall also mind blowing. 682 00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:43.880 And I mentioned I wanted to get into this and 683 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:48.800 thank God for summaries because since we just came out 684 00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:51.840 yesterday a five hundred and twenty page final report from 685 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:57.639 the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic titled After Action 686 00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.559 Review of the COVID nineteen Pandemic, Lessons Earned and a 687 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:04.559 Path Forward. Concresson wentz Orbusius the state, and they'll give 688 00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:05.880 you that in just a moment. They looked at more 689 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.039 than one hundred They issued more than one hundred investigative letters, 690 00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:12.320 thirty transcribed interviews and depositions, twenty five hearings, in meetings, 691 00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:17.119 more than one million pages of documents reviewed, and came 692 00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:23.800 up with some unbelievably damning conclusions. Concresson wentzriup in a 693 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.119 letter to Congress, the work will help the United States 694 00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:28.679 and the world predict the next pandemic, prepare for the 695 00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:31.480 next pandemic, protect ourselves from the next pandemic, and hopefully 696 00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:38.880 prevent the next pandemic. Hold on sneeze button. That time. 697 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:41.800 Members of the one hundred nineteenth Congress should continue to 698 00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:44.199 build off this work. There is more information to find 699 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:48.000 and honest actions to be taken. The COVID nineteen pandemic 700 00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:54.280 highlighted a disttrust in leadership. Trust is earned. Accountability, Transparency, honesty, 701 00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:57.800 and integrity will regain this trust. A future pandemic requires 702 00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:02.199 a whole of America response, managed by those without personal 703 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:05.760 benefit or bias. We can always do better, and for 704 00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.760 the sake of future generations of Americans, we must. It 705 00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:15.480 can be done. Okay, here we go. The origins. Remember 706 00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:19.039 doctor Fauci came from a bat cave or whatever. A 707 00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:23.719 wet market note wrong report concludes likely emerged from the 708 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:26.800 Wuhan Instituti Virology and five reasons for that. One, the 709 00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:31.079 virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. 710 00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:34.920 Data shows that all COVID nineteen cases stem from a 711 00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:40.360 single introduction into humans running contrary to previous pandemics where 712 00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.039 there were multiple spillover events. Wuhan home to China's foremost 713 00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:48.039 Stars research lab, which has a history of conducting gain 714 00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:55.119 of function research and at inadequate biosafety levels. Wuhan Institudivirology 715 00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:57.599 researchers were sick with COVID like virus in the fall 716 00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:01.039 of twenty nineteen, months before COVID nineteen was discovered at 717 00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:05.519 the wet market, and finally, by nearly all measures of science, 718 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:07.599 there was evidence of a natural origin. It would have 719 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:14.000 already surfaced and it never has. There was a proximal 720 00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:19.159 origin publication used primarily and repeatedly by public health officials 721 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:23.280 in the media to discredit the lab leak theory, and 722 00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:26.719 that was prompted by doctor Fauci to profos his preferred narrative, 723 00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:28.480 in other words, trying to get away from the idea 724 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:31.000 that we funded gain of function research at the Wuhan 725 00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:37.039 Institute Verrology that unleashed this pandemic on the planet, and 726 00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:40.320 they concluded it was most likely yes, the origin of 727 00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:43.559 COVID nineteen gain of function research. Current government mechanisms for 728 00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:48.960 overseeing this dangerous research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack 729 00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:56.199 global applicability, lacks standards. Do you remember EcoHealth wiance Yeah, 730 00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:01.159 out of leadership with doctor Peter D. Day's act using 731 00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:06.159 your earnings in the form of tax payer dollars to 732 00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:09.760 facilitate dangerous gain a function rehearch research at the Wuhont 733 00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:13.119 Institute of Virology, and after selects, the subcommittee released evidence 734 00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.719 of EcoHealth violating the terms of its National Institutes of 735 00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:21.880 Health grant, which said you can't do this. The US 736 00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:25.840 Department of Health and Human Services commenced official disbar or 737 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:29.719 debarment proceedings and suspended all funding of eco Health. That's 738 00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:33.079 rather danding, isn't it. The Department of Justice apparently is 739 00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:37.960 open an investigation the Ecohealth's pandemic era activities also, so 740 00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:40.280 maybe there'll be a prosecution down the road. One can 741 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:45.760 only pray for that accountability. National Institute for Health failures 742 00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:53.960 NIH procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, 743 00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:59.079 posing serious health threats to public and national security. Further, 744 00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:02.840 the report conclude the NIH fostered an environment that promoted 745 00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:08.119 evading federal record keeping laws, as seen through the actions 746 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:12.039 of doctor David Morrins, among others. Apologies for my voice 747 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:16.239 this morning, folks, I truly apologize for that. And then 748 00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:19.679 you get into the response the COVID nineteen funding and 749 00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:23.320 all of the fraud, waste and abuse and just outright 750 00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:27.000 criminal activity related to that. Federal and states governments had 751 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:32.119 significant lapses in coordination, were unprepared to oversee the allocation 752 00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.840 of COVID nineteen relief funds, failed to sufficiently identified waste, fraud, 753 00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:41.079 and abuse of taxpayer dollars during the pandemic on multiple layers. 754 00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:45.599 I might point out, for example, the Paycheck of Protection 755 00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.840 program purportedly offering a central relief to Americans in the 756 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:53.039 form of loans that could be forgiven if the funds 757 00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:58.960 were used to offset pandemic era hardship. The committee concluded 758 00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.800 it was rife with fraud claims resulting in at least 759 00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:06.760 sixty four billion, with a bee of taxpayer dollars loss 760 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:13.519 to fraudsters and criminals. Unemployment, claims fraudsters cost the American 761 00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:18.519 taxpayer more than one hundred and ninety one billion dollars 762 00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:21.119 by taking advantage of the federal government's unemployment system and 763 00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:27.079 exploiting individuals personally identifiable information. The SBA, the Small Business 764 00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:32.159 Administration failures two hundred million taxpayer dollars lost as a 765 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:37.840 result of the SBA's inability to conduct proper oversight, implement 766 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:41.440 internal controls, and ensure fraud protection measures were enacted. And 767 00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:44.119 see that's this is something that you can just really 768 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:48.679 conclude at the outset of any massive government program. Let 769 00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:51.079 me interject my thoughts on that if you've got a 770 00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:54.679 multimillion dollar, multi billion dollar program, there is no way 771 00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:57.559 in God's green earth that our government can keep track 772 00:45:57.639 --> 00:46:00.119 of the dollars and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. Its 773 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:05.159 just impossible. And here's a multitude of illustrations here just 774 00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:10.239 relating to COVID nineteen spending. They concluded at least half 775 00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:14.280 a taxpayer dollars lost in COVID nineteen relief programs were stolen, 776 00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:23.639 stolen outright by international fraudsters. COVID nineteen relief funding oversight, 777 00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:28.880 the expanding relief programs that lacked proper oversight functions exposed 778 00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:31.920 severe vulnerabilities in the system, paving the way for fraudsters, 779 00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:35.079 international criminals, and foreign adversaries to take advantage of you, 780 00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:40.199 the American tax payer. Turning to the World Health Organization, 781 00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:46.000 Health Organization's response to COVID nineteen pandemic, they described as 782 00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:51.639 an abject failure because it came, oh all, this is shocking. 783 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.719 It caved a pressure from the Chinese Communist Party in 784 00:46:54.760 --> 00:47:00.280 placed China's political interest ahead of its international duties. Report 785 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:03.079 also concludes the World Health Organization's effort to solve the 786 00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:06.519 problems were exacerbated by the COVID nineteen pamic via a 787 00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:12.679 Pandemic Treaty, the newest effort anyway, and concluded it may 788 00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.519 harm the United States of America. Social distancing. Yeah, we 789 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:19.119 all remember standing six feet apart. In fact, it was 790 00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:21.880 at doctor's office, not that long ago. They still have 791 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.440 the tape on the floor at six foot increments. I've 792 00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:26.960 even asked them about that. You guys ever going to 793 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.400 remove the tape? Oh oh, we forgot that was there 794 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:34.079 six foot apart Social Distancing recommendation, which literally shut down 795 00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:38.159 schools and small businesses everywhere. They conclude it was arbitrary, 796 00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:42.440 not based in science, and during closed door testimony, doctor 797 00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:46.159 Fauci testified that the guidance quote sort of just appeared 798 00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:49.760 close quote, and I imagine it just appeared right out 799 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:55.199 of his own personal sphincter mask mandates. I've been harping 800 00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:58.199 on that since the whole thing came out. They concluded 801 00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:01.760 there was no conclusive evidence that ask effectively protecting Americans 802 00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:05.159 from COVID nineteen public health officials flip flopped on the 803 00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:09.559 efficacy of mass without providing American scientific data, causing a 804 00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:14.920 massive uptick in public distrust. Rightfully, so you got lied 805 00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:22.519 to lockdowns. Prolonged lockdowns cause immeasurable harm not only do 806 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.840 the American economy, but also the mental and physical health 807 00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:28.480 of Americans, with a particularly negative effect on younger citizens. 808 00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:34.039 Rather than prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable populations, 809 00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:39.119 federal and state government's policies forced millions of Americans to 810 00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:43.239 fore go crucial elements of a healthy and financially sound life. 811 00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.000 That's just scratching the surface. Folks got plenty more to 812 00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:53.360 mention on this one, including what I would conclude is 813 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:58.039 actual outright criminal murder in New York City in New 814 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.599 York State six fifteen fifty five KZO see the talk 815 00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:05.679 station QC kinetics got pain. So many people living in pain. 816 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:07.840 I remember my father complaining about it's pain so much, 817 00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:09.440 and he could not wait to go under the knife 818 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:12.000 and get the he and knee and hip replacements. You 819 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.800 know there's a better way, perhaps around the corner, for 820 00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:16.719 you feeling better and getting ready to join pain once 821 00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:18.559 and for all without going under the knife and be 822 00:49:18.599 --> 00:49:21.440 able to walk up and downstairs, sit down and get 823 00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:24.480 up without struggling, sleeping without pain, getting up in the 824 00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:26.679 morning and walking and get out on the floor and 825 00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:31.559 walk right away. How about that being you try calling 826 00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:34.159 QC Kinetics and say goodbye to the shoulder, knee, and 827 00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.519 hip and back pain. QC Kinetics medical professionals just waiting 828 00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:41.519 to see if you are able and an appropriate candidate 829 00:49:41.960 --> 00:49:45.519 for their advanced protocols in regenerative medicine, which have helped 830 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:49.559 tens of thousands of people and provided them with lasting relief. Now, 831 00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:53.079 no more pain pills, no more steroid shots. What QC 832 00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:55.679 Kinetics does is use the healing properties of your own 833 00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:58.800 body to attack the root cause of your pain.

So if you've been told surgery 836 00:50:03.039 --> 00:50:06.400 is your best or only option, how about a second opinion. 837 00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:10.880 It won't cost you anything, so call and schedule and appointment, 838 00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:13.880 and you can also use your HSA at FSA dollars 839 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.119 to cover the cost of these treatments if you are 840 00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:18.239 a good candidate. So to find out if you are, 841 00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:20.920 give them a call. Five one three eight four seven 842 00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:23.800 zero zero one nine.

We're 865 00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:37.480 gonna get the details from him again after top of 866 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.639 the our news the meantime, back to the five hundred 867 00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:43.000 and twenty page report issued. Actually it's coming out officially today, 868 00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:47.400 but summary was issued yesterday regarding the Select Senates or 869 00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:51.320 the Select sub Committee on the coronavirus pandemic. They've been 870 00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:53.679 doing an investigation after two years on this and the 871 00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:56.719 conclusions they have reached are again damning. Going over to 872 00:51:56.800 --> 00:52:01.199 New York and this is I think call it outright criminal. Now, 873 00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:06.239 remember the COVID virus itself. The most likely people to 874 00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:10.119 succumb to the virus were what co morbid conditions, the elderly, 875 00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:15.000 the morbidly OBEs, those with cardiac problems. Right. Former New 876 00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:19.039 York Governor Andrew Crooma's March twenty fifth order forced nursing 877 00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:24.760 homes to accept COVID nineteen positive patients. The report concludes 878 00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:27.639 it was medical malpractice. Evidence shows that Cuoma and his 879 00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:31.159 administration worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of that 880 00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:35.039 decision in an effort to shield themselves from accountability. Evidence 881 00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:40.519 suggests Quomo knowingly and willfully their words, made false statements 882 00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:44.119 to the Select Subcommittee on numerous occasions about material aspects 883 00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:47.159 of New York's COVID nineteen nursing home disaster and the 884 00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:51.760 ensuing cover up. Select Subcommittee referred Quomo to the Department 885 00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:54.119 of Justice for criminal prosecution, and I can only hope 886 00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:59.559 that that happens. Travel restrictions, remember Donald Trump issued international 887 00:52:59.639 --> 00:53:01.599 travel restrictions. You know, we're going to keep this thing 888 00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:05.039 at bay. We're going to be importing people from you know, China. 889 00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:07.840 What do they call that? What do the Democrats call 890 00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:15.840 that at the time, do you remember it? Xenophobic? Doctor Fouci, 891 00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:20.840 in his transcribed interview under the questioning of this subcommittee, 892 00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:26.719 unequivocally agreed with every travel restriction that the Trump administration issued. Yes, 893 00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:28.800 it was the right thing to do, in spite of 894 00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:31.480 what you heard from the mainstream media and all the 895 00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:34.320 Democrats said, Oh mygad, Donald Trump's it's xena faed Why 896 00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:35.480 is he getting out? Yeah? 897 00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:35.719 Right. 898 00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:42.239 As far as COVID misinformation, public officials often spread misinformation 899 00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:46.519 through conflicting messaging, lack of transparency, and they say in 900 00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:52.760 the most egregious examples of pervasive misinformation campaign, off label 901 00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:56.800 drug use and the lab lak theory were unjustly demonized 902 00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:59.280 by the federal government. In fact, the Biden administration even 903 00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:05.960 employed und democratic and, as the subcommittee concludes, likely unconstitutional methods, 904 00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:09.679 including pressuring social media companies to censor certain COVID nineteen 905 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:14.880 content to fight what it deemed misinformation, which really wasn't. 906 00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:23.760 Contrary to what was promised, COVID nineteen vaccine did not 907 00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:27.760 stop this thread or transmission of the virus. That was 908 00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:32.599 an easy conclusion. The FDA rushed approval of the COVID 909 00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:35.719 nineteen vaccine in order to meet the Biden administration's arbitrary 910 00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:41.079 mandate timeline. Two leading FDA scientists warned their colleagues about 911 00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:43.639 the dangers of rushing the vaccine approval process and the 912 00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:47.960 likelihood of adverse events. They were ignored, and days later, 913 00:54:48.079 --> 00:54:53.679 the Biden administration mandated the vaccine over to the vaccine mandates, 914 00:54:54.119 --> 00:54:57.719 they were not supported by science and caused more harm 915 00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:03.480 than good. The subcommittee concluded the Biden administration coursed healthy 916 00:55:03.519 --> 00:55:06.480 Americans in a compliance with the COVID nineteen vaccine mandates 917 00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:11.639 that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and disregarded medical 918 00:55:11.719 --> 00:55:15.000 freedom to force a novel vaccine on millions of Americans 919 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:21.199 without sufficient evidence to support its policy decisions. Public officials 920 00:55:21.320 --> 00:55:24.760 also engaged in a coordinated effort to ignore the reality 921 00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:30.320 the biological reality of natural immunity acquired through previous COVID 922 00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:37.880 nineteen infection, which I have that ignored when they were 923 00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.719 developing their vaccine guidance and mandates. No, no, we're not 924 00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:42.880 going to consider the idea that you could even get 925 00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:50.559 vaccinatural immunity. Vaccine injury reporting systems created confusion failed to 926 00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:55.559 popularly inform the American public about vaccine injuries and deteriorated 927 00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:59.400 public trusts in vaccine safety during the COVID nineteen pandemic. Yeah, 928 00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:02.320 that'll be people. Well, I guess like teenagers dropping dead 929 00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:05.639 from myocarditis. Yeah, well, we're not going to pay attention 930 00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:12.800 to that. Business impact, federal and state governments imposed mandatory 931 00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:16.079 lockdowns that were the primary cause of temporary and permanent 932 00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:20.360 business closures. This is sad. More than one hundred and 933 00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:24.639 sixty thousand businesses closed due to the pandemic, sixty percent 934 00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:30.760 of those closures classified as permanent. For the businesses that 935 00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:34.440 stayed or reopened, the lack of supply chain diversity exacerbated 936 00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:42.760 pandemic era challenges and deepened existing disparities. About halfway through 937 00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:46.159 with the summary of the conclusions, folks five three, seven, four, 938 00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:48.239 nine fifty five, eight hundred eight two to three talk 939 00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:50.960 not five fifty on AT and T phones. Care to comment? 940 00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:55.360 I will entertain these phone calls, but first, a strong 941 00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:58.000 recommendation to save money. Got a car that needs to 942 00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:01.679 be fixed? Is it from a traditional imported manufacturer from 943 00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:07.639 Asia or Europe? Or a tesla? Talking foreign exchange? Foreign Exchange, 944 00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:12.320 No La Tesla repair facility as well. And the great 945 00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:14.039 thing about Foreign Exchange and you know, getting your Tesla 946 00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:15.880 re faired, you'll enjoy the same benefits as folks that 947 00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:19.599 take their car there to get the imported cars fixed. 948 00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:22.119 With a full warranty on parts and service from an 949 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:26.519 a S certified Master technician, you will save money. That's 950 00:57:26.599 --> 00:57:29.519 the point. Bottom line is your bottom line at Foreign Exchange. 951 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:31.559 They're great people. You love working with them. You'd be 952 00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:35.039 glad they're worked on your car. You happily and confidently 953 00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:37.800 heading on home with a full warranty and more money 954 00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:39.679 in your pocket that had you taking it to the dealers. 955 00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:43.719 So for all things imported or Tesla's Foreign Exchange, Westchester, 956 00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:47.639 that's the location that I'm strongly recommending you go too. 957 00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:50.320 Just take the Tyler's little exit right off of seventy five, 958 00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:52.800 go east two streets, just a short jog hanging right 959 00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:54.840 on Kingland driving you are there and tell Austin the 960 00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:58.320 whole crew.

I'm going to take a phone call 989 00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:28.039 here before i do that, though, real quick, Jamie, let 990 00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:31.480 me just interject, because it is the forty fifth anniversary 991 00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:34.360 of the Who concert tragedy, and I brought that up earlier, 992 00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:36.199 and my buddy Jeff, and hello to the crew at 993 00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:40.519 mar Con Tool this morning. Jeff noted that one of 994 00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:43.239 the callers had pointed out the band was doing a 995 00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:46.840 late warm up and everybody outside thought the concert had started, 996 00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:48.480 and that's what sort of started the shoving and the 997 00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:52.199 pushing and resulted in all the tragedy. Jeff said, I 998 00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:55.119 was not at the entrance where the tragedy has occurred, 999 00:59:55.199 --> 00:59:59.280 but a high school friend of mine, Walt Tony, was there. 1000 01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:02.760 He was one of the eleven that died that night. 1001 01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:07.360 That's a sad, sad, sad story. Anyhow, Jeff, appreciate the 1002 01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:11.280 anecdote and condolences on your loss forty five years ago. 1003 01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:13.440 And even Jeff pointed out, I cannot believe it was 1004 01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:15.719 that long ago, Jamie. Thanks for holding and welcome to 1005 01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:16.280 the program. 1006 01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:20.599 Hey, good morning, Brian. I just had a comment about 1007 01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:24.639 the lovely COVID report you were reading from. I don't 1008 01:00:24.639 --> 01:00:28.679 know if people understand that schools have adjusted their standards 1009 01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:35.159 and grading scales and indicators for learning, and so the 1010 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:39.440 children are still feeling the effects of what happened during COVID. Yeah, 1011 01:00:39.440 --> 01:00:42.880 and what it seems like is happening. They're wiping the slate, 1012 01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:46.480 pretending like it didn't happen and pushing kids through when 1013 01:00:46.519 --> 01:00:49.239 they are not learning what they need to be learning. 1014 01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:51.920 Well, clearly, you know, it's an interesting way you put that, 1015 01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:56.559 because it's almost as if COVID is a justification for 1016 01:00:56.800 --> 01:00:59.599 allowing children to advance to the next grade when they 1017 01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:03.280 haven't demonstrated sufficient learning skills to manage the material in 1018 01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:06.559 the grade they're in. I mean, that's that's insane, And 1019 01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:10.599 people justify this because of equity or whatever. And I'm thinking, 1020 01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:13.639 how much possible good can you be doing a child 1021 01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:17.199 by advancing them to the next grade level when they're 1022 01:01:17.320 --> 01:01:20.039 failing at the one they're in. Oh well, COVID or 1023 01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:24.920 equity or whatever, it doesn't make a witsworth of sense. 1024 01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:27.320 It doesn't pass the smell test for a logic and 1025 01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:30.480 reason standpoint, but it's a valid point. 1026 01:01:31.880 --> 01:01:36.920 It's astounding, and I think, you know, I know in 1027 01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:41.320 my local district the COVID money was spent on administrator positions, 1028 01:01:41.880 --> 01:01:44.760 so the money did not go to directly support the kids. 1029 01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:50.960 And second, they I don't understand how. I actually don't 1030 01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:53.079 understand how the teachers are not pulling their hair out 1031 01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:54.880 because they're the ones to keep getting the kids in 1032 01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:57.760 their classrooms, say, in fourth grade, and their kids have 1033 01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:01.360 not learned second and third grade content, and so it's 1034 01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:04.960 so overwhelming that I don't think they can face it. 1035 01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:09.920 They just they can't face the challenge of it all. 1036 01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:12.960 And of course the children are that the ones who. 1037 01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:16.280 Are suffering, absolutely, period, end of the story. There in 1038 01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:19.719 lines the problem the children are suffering. And I've heard 1039 01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:22.239 people defend the idea of allowing a child to advance 1040 01:02:22.280 --> 01:02:24.519 from let's say third to fourth grade even though they 1041 01:02:24.559 --> 01:02:27.920 haven't mastered the third grade level materials. Well, you don't 1042 01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:30.400 know what it's like from a peer pressure standpoint for 1043 01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:32.679 a child to deal with being held back. Well, you 1044 01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:33.960 don't know what it's like. I mean, you know, it's 1045 01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:36.320 the old John Wayne saying, you know, life is hard, 1046 01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:39.760 it's harder if you're stupid. I mean, Lord Almighty, deal 1047 01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:44.480 with the momentary lapse of you know, respector or or 1048 01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:48.599 peer pressure whatever. Learn the materials and then build the 1049 01:02:48.800 --> 01:02:52.199 building block foundation that allows you to move forward and 1050 01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.079 advance and cope with and deal with life and it's 1051 01:02:55.199 --> 01:02:58.400 challenges because you know reading, you know you're writing, and 1052 01:02:58.599 --> 01:03:01.440 you know you're arithmetic, other subject matters that you gotta 1053 01:03:01.519 --> 01:03:04.360 deal with. If you don't know them and you continue 1054 01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:07.400 to move on, you will only fall further and further behind, 1055 01:03:07.559 --> 01:03:09.760 obviously leading you to a life hooked up to the 1056 01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:15.480 umbilical court of some social welfare program. Ah, drive me crazy. 1057 01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:18.360 I don't understand the world we find ourselves in. I 1058 01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:24.360 really don't, And you're right, it harms the children. There 1059 01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:30.199 in lies the challenge which harms America in extraordinary ways. 1060 01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:32.480 Six point thirty five. If you five KCD talk station 1061 01:03:32.639 --> 01:03:35.199 more from that five hundred and twenty page report summary, 1062 01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:37.400 and Mike is on the funnel, be happy to take 1063 01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:39.679 Mike's calls. Well, but before I do any of that, 1064 01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:41.519 I want to save you a lot of money and 1065 01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:44.400 recommend you go to Affordable Medical Imaging or Affordable Imaging 1066 01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:48.000 Services rather than get your imaging mrict scans that co cartograms, 1067 01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:52.480 ultra sounds, lung screenings, and cardiac scorings all a literal 1068 01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:55.840 tiny fraction of what the hospitals charge you. Hell, you 1069 01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:59.159 can get a cardiac scoring or a lung screening for 1070 01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:02.239 ninety nine dollars. I don't think you can even walk 1071 01:04:02.320 --> 01:04:04.400 into a hospital for ninety nine dollars. And here you 1072 01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:07.280 get a scan that your doctor's ordered for ninety nine bucks, 1073 01:04:08.039 --> 01:04:11.079 no ops, no extras, and the board certified radiologists report 1074 01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:13.840 included in every scan they do. So, rather than pay 1075 01:04:13.960 --> 01:04:17.119 five thousand plus or more dollars with a separate bill 1076 01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:20.199 for a radiologist report, go to Affordable Imaging Services and 1077 01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:22.800 get a CT scan without a contrast for four hundred 1078 01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:27.719 and fifty with a contrast six hundred huge price difference. Right, 1079 01:04:27.800 --> 01:04:31.360 it's like ten percent of what a hospital charge. And 1080 01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:33.760 it's still amazing. Because Affordable Imaging Services is a for 1081 01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:37.960 profit entity, they're still making money and charging a fraction 1082 01:04:38.119 --> 01:04:40.239 that gives you a great illustration of how much money 1083 01:04:40.280 --> 01:04:42.760 the hospitals make on their imaging departments.

But before I get back to that, and 1113 01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:18.119 I will address the last callers comments about school closures 1114 01:06:18.199 --> 01:06:22.239 in the profound negative influence it had on our children's learning, 1115 01:06:22.320 --> 01:06:23.840 Let's see what Mike Scott, he was kind of the 1116 01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:26.280 hold over the break, Mike, Welcome to the program, Happy Tuesday. 1117 01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:29.079 Hi, Brian talk. 1118 01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:33.320 About the vaccine report saying that the were they're saying 1119 01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:36.880 the vaccine where the code reports that the vaccine wasn't 1120 01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:39.800 effective and they shouldn't have made a mandatory. That kind 1121 01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:43.840 of helps Bobby Kennedy with his with everything. That's the 1122 01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:46.079 one thing they're pointing like he was against the vaccine, 1123 01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:48.920 like well, the reports against. 1124 01:06:48.679 --> 01:06:52.320 The vaccine yep, and people who were against the vaccines 1125 01:06:52.360 --> 01:06:55.679 were silenced. Facebook would pull your posts. Everybody in social 1126 01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:58.760 media couldn't hear your voice, womb voice in the wilderness. 1127 01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:01.679 I mean, you know, I didn't get the vaccine. I 1128 01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:04.280 struggled with COVID. Mightily could have been because I was 1129 01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:07.000 on cancer treatments at the time that I got such 1130 01:07:07.039 --> 01:07:09.239 a bad case of it. Many people who have pointed 1131 01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:12.440 to that one of the comorbid conditions, it would lead 1132 01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:15.159 you having a more problematic episode of COVID. 1133 01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:15.920 That was me. 1134 01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:18.599 I ended up with more antibodies and you could shake 1135 01:07:18.639 --> 01:07:21.079 a stick at After a year, I had myself tested 1136 01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:23.960 and it was still like, no, you're immune. You know, okay, 1137 01:07:25.239 --> 01:07:28.079 natural immunity is and was a thing back then, but 1138 01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:33.559 you couldn't talk about that. Get your stick and get 1139 01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:36.360 your jab because you know the pharmaceutical companies. You'll be 1140 01:07:36.360 --> 01:07:37.719 able to hold them accountable if they go, oh no, 1141 01:07:37.840 --> 01:07:40.320 you couldn't. That's right because of the Emergency Use authorization. 1142 01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:44.360 Sorry sucks to be you anyway. Healthcare impacts. Over to 1143 01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:47.039 the report and more of the conclusions I'm diving on into. 1144 01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:50.880 Thank you again to Congressman Brad Weinschervin someone going through 1145 01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:52.760 five hundred and twenty pages and pulling out the key 1146 01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:56.800 points on it. The summary America's health care systems severely 1147 01:07:56.920 --> 01:08:00.960 damaged by the pandemic. Patients experienced a decreas quality of care, 1148 01:08:01.119 --> 01:08:05.679 longer waytime, shorter medical appointments, and misdiagnosis. Some people didn't 1149 01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:07.679 go to the doctor. They were freaked out. Why would 1150 01:08:07.679 --> 01:08:09.719 I go into a doctor's office where, oh my god, 1151 01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:12.519 someone might breathe on me here only get in a 1152 01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:18.800 fetal position and hide to my living room. Unemployment rates 1153 01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:22.640 surged to levels not seen since the Great Depression because 1154 01:08:22.640 --> 01:08:27.000 of well the lockdowns, overly broad mitigation measures, including the 1155 01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:31.960 now debunked six feet apart guidance, which doctor Fauci admitted 1156 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:35.399 in closed door testimony he pulled out of his personal 1157 01:08:35.520 --> 01:08:42.840 sphincter my conclusion, but effectively what he said disproportionately impacted 1158 01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:50.840 work sectors with low wage earners. Federal reserves. Aggressive early 1159 01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:54.520 and unprecedented response to the COVID nineteen pandemic prevented a 1160 01:08:54.600 --> 01:09:00.760 severe economic downturn. This continued approach also contributed to stagger inflation. 1161 01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:04.880 Still living all of results of that and then pile 1162 01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:07.319 on top of it. After all, the trillions of dollars 1163 01:09:07.399 --> 01:09:10.359 of COVID nineteen money that float into the system, watering 1164 01:09:10.399 --> 01:09:12.840 down the value of your dollar. Follow up with the 1165 01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:17.039 Inflation Reduction Act, which wasn't you're still paying for that one. 1166 01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:21.119 And I also remember there's still COVID nineteen money floating 1167 01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:23.319 around out there. The cities are using to, oh, I 1168 01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:30.119 don't know, plug budget gaps cities. Cincinnati school closures. The 1169 01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:35.159 quote unquote science never justified prolonged school closures. Children were 1170 01:09:35.319 --> 01:09:38.199 unlikely to contribute to the spread of COVID nineteen or 1171 01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:42.039 even suffer severe illness or mortality. Instead, as a result 1172 01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:46.880 of the school closures, children experience historic learning losses, higher 1173 01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:53.760 rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical well being. The 1174 01:09:53.880 --> 01:09:56.479 ripple of fat on that one. Anybody who's a parent 1175 01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:58.520 out there that went through this with younger age children, 1176 01:09:58.560 --> 01:10:03.000 probably you're still feeling it. The Centers for Disease Control 1177 01:10:03.039 --> 01:10:07.680 and Prevention influence Biden Administration's CDC broke precedent providing a 1178 01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:13.560 political provided a political teachers organization with access to its 1179 01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:21.520 scientific school reopening guidance. You remember this one. I had forgotten. 1180 01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:29.319 Former CDC Director Rochelle Wolenski asked the American Federation of 1181 01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:35.119 Teachers to provide specific language for the guidance, and even 1182 01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:38.720 once so far as to accept numerous edits made by 1183 01:10:38.760 --> 01:10:47.319 the American Federation of Teachers. The CDC director deferred reopening 1184 01:10:47.399 --> 01:10:53.760 guidance to the teachers union. How many doctors do you 1185 01:10:53.840 --> 01:10:57.000 think are over at the American Federation for Teachers? How 1186 01:10:57.039 --> 01:11:00.000 many doctors with any connection to pandemic or pandemic related 1187 01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:05.880 science were involved in providing the specific language? Yeah, I 1188 01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:10.439 think you know the answer to that question. Schools remain 1189 01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:13.680 closed longer than necessary because the American Federation of Teachers 1190 01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:18.920 political interference in the CDC school reopening guidance. It's a 1191 01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:23.079 political union, not a scientific organization. It's a political union 1192 01:11:23.119 --> 01:11:28.520 that advocated for mitigation efforts that prolonged school closures, including 1193 01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:34.159 an automatic closure quote unquote trigger. Testimony revealed, according to 1194 01:11:34.159 --> 01:11:39.319 the report, that eight AFT president Winingarten had a direct 1195 01:11:39.680 --> 01:11:48.239 telephone line to contact former CDC Director Wolenski. Standardized test 1196 01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:52.520 scores show that children lost decades worth of academic progress 1197 01:11:52.520 --> 01:11:55.359 as a consequence of COVID nineteen school closures. Mental and 1198 01:11:55.439 --> 01:11:59.359 physical health concerns also skyrocketed, and here you go with 1199 01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:04.000 suicide attempts by twelve the seventeen year age girls rising 1200 01:12:05.119 --> 01:12:12.640 fifty one percent. I got a few more conclusory points 1201 01:12:12.680 --> 01:12:16.039 on the report again, you can find it online. Five 1202 01:12:16.119 --> 01:12:19.359 hundred and twenty pages worth of damning indictments of our 1203 01:12:20.119 --> 01:12:24.520 elected officials. And oh my god, the walk on water 1204 01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:29.119 doctor Fauci six forty seven fifty five k see the 1205 01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:32.039 talk station. Wonder if anybody out there is embarrassed for 1206 01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:36.600 having listened to and attentively followed every utterance that came 1207 01:12:36.680 --> 01:12:41.680 out of doctor Fauci's mouth. Emory Federal Credit Union moving 1208 01:12:41.720 --> 01:12:44.680 away to something negative is something extremely positive. It's a better, 1209 01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:47.039 better way to bank over at Emory Federal Credit Union. 1210 01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:48.640 Been banking with them for more than a decade and 1211 01:12:48.800 --> 01:12:51.840 always always happy with the service there because folks are 1212 01:12:51.880 --> 01:12:54.279 extremely friendly.

That's what they're calling it's a personal loan. 1218 01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:11.520 Call it a holiday loan, it's a holiday time call 1219 01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:13.720 it whatever you want. It's one point eighty five percent 1220 01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:15.960 off the already low rate. All you need to do 1221 01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:19.079 is contact any Emory Federal Credit Union branch or even 1222 01:13:19.159 --> 01:13:21.800 apply online.

So not only do they do a post 1268 01:15:38.199 --> 01:15:42.760 mortan on all of the lies that we were told, 1269 01:15:42.920 --> 01:15:45.560 it also is supposed to provide a guidance for the future, 1270 01:15:45.720 --> 01:15:49.439 so the government credibility isn't torched like it has been 1271 01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:53.079 as a consequence of what they told us over COVID. Anyway, 1272 01:15:53.239 --> 01:15:55.119 go over to the Health and Human Services Department and 1273 01:15:55.720 --> 01:15:58.479 the title of the subject heading on this one obstruction. 1274 01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:04.800 Biden Administration's HHS engaged in a multi year campaign of delay, confusion, 1275 01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:07.079 and non response in this in an attempt to obstruct 1276 01:16:07.159 --> 01:16:12.560 this select subcommittee's investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate 1277 01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:17.279 or embarrass senior public visuals doctor Fauji. It appears that 1278 01:16:17.479 --> 01:16:23.000 HHS even intentionally under resourced its component that responds to 1279 01:16:23.119 --> 01:16:26.359 legislative oversight requests. So it's like when you're issued a 1280 01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:31.079 Foyer request, there's specific laws governing responding to a Foyer request, 1281 01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:37.279 and you just ignore it. Senate Subcommittee sends you request 1282 01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:41.239 pursuing to their guidelines. Well, we're going to just defund 1283 01:16:41.439 --> 01:16:45.039 or under resources department that is supposed to respond in 1284 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:49.279 a timely fashion to the investigation of the Committee's requests 1285 01:16:49.279 --> 01:16:55.119 for information. Screw those guys. Basically eco Health obstruction going 1286 01:16:55.159 --> 01:16:57.279 back to eco Health and one that was behind funding 1287 01:16:57.319 --> 01:17:01.520 the Wuhan Institute of Virologies gain a function Research President 1288 01:17:01.600 --> 01:17:08.880 Peter Dazak obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation by providing publicly 1289 01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:14.359 available information, instructing his staff to reduce the scope and 1290 01:17:14.479 --> 01:17:20.600 pace of productions of documents, and doctoring documents before releasing 1291 01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:24.640 them to the public. He also provided false statements to Congress. 1292 01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:34.760 Doctor David Morenz deliberately obstructed the Select sub Committee's investigation, 1293 01:17:35.680 --> 01:17:40.239 likely lied to Congress on multiple occasions, unlawfully deleted federal 1294 01:17:40.319 --> 01:17:44.039 COVID nineteen records and shared non public information about NIH 1295 01:17:44.199 --> 01:17:50.880 grant processes with Eco Health president doctor Peter Daizac. It's 1296 01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:53.800 rather incestuous group of relations going on here, isn't it. 1297 01:17:54.760 --> 01:17:58.159 And then finally New York obstruction. New York's Executive Chamber, 1298 01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:04.399 led presently by Governor Kathy Hockel, redacted documents, offered numerous 1299 01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:09.159 illegitimate privileged claims, and withheld thousands of documents without an 1300 01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:12.880 apparent legal basis to obstruct the Select Subcommittee's investigation into 1301 01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:18.000 former Governor Cuomo's pandemic era failures. Those failures I mentioned earlier, 1302 01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:22.479 which really should be the he's referred to the Department 1303 01:18:22.520 --> 01:18:25.359 of Justice for criminal prosecution. I mean the fact that 1304 01:18:25.439 --> 01:18:27.800 he knowingly and wilfully made false statements to the Select 1305 01:18:27.800 --> 01:18:34.840 Subcommittee on numerous occasions, and his order forced COVID nineteen 1306 01:18:35.399 --> 01:18:40.159 positive elderly people into nursing homes where they would obviously 1307 01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:45.239 go and infect the clearly more vulnerable elderly folks in 1308 01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:51.479 nursing homes. I wonder if there's a final accounting of 1309 01:18:51.600 --> 01:19:00.399 the death toll brought about by that directive. Six fifty 1310 01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:04.000 five krs.

He'll be on at seven forty now 1322 01:19:50.800 --> 01:19:53.159 that Hunter Biden has been pardoning because of course they 1323 01:19:53.159 --> 01:19:54.760 were all just picking on him and had nothing to 1324 01:19:54.760 --> 01:19:57.960 do with his criminal reality. How about the January sixth prisoners, 1325 01:19:58.000 --> 01:20:00.279 what's in store for them?

Todd 1333 01:20:22.159 --> 01:20:24.359 Zen's are a recently pendent op ed piece which appeared 1334 01:20:24.399 --> 01:20:27.880 in the paper version of the Cinsai inquir He is 1335 01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:32.319 a West Price so Resident retired inspector generally the United 1336 01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:34.920 States Department of Commerce. After thirty one years of conducting 1337 01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:41.199 audits and investigations of federal officials, programs and operations, he 1338 01:20:41.439 --> 01:20:45.479 remains a certified fraud examiner and he knows things financial clearly. 1339 01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:47.479 Todd Zenz are welcome back to the fifty five KRC 1340 01:20:47.640 --> 01:20:53.119 Morning Show, tackling the problem of well City of Cincinnati finances, 1341 01:20:53.239 --> 01:20:56.359 most notably the still ongoing and yet to ever be 1342 01:20:56.439 --> 01:20:59.319 resolved pension problem. Welcome back, my friend. I love having 1343 01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:01.319 you in studio. Thank you, Brian, good morning, and I 1344 01:21:01.399 --> 01:21:05.239 certainly appreciate you taking the laboring or and staying up 1345 01:21:05.319 --> 01:21:09.159 on what is really a very very challenging financial situation. 1346 01:21:10.800 --> 01:21:12.399 You and I can talk all day long about the 1347 01:21:13.680 --> 01:21:16.000 problems facing the City of Cincinnati. I mean we were 1348 01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:21.640 talking off air most notably about the backlog of just simple, fundamental, 1349 01:21:21.800 --> 01:21:23.479 basic things like road repairs. 1350 01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:24.119 That's right. 1351 01:21:24.439 --> 01:21:26.560 It's scoot that mic up and get closer to it 1352 01:21:26.560 --> 01:21:32.960 a little bit. It's just a simple core service, something 1353 01:21:33.039 --> 01:21:36.359 that acts as a financial draw because people are inclined 1354 01:21:36.359 --> 01:21:40.039 to want to move into cities with good infrastructure. You 1355 01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:42.439 let your roads deteriorate over deckage, you end up with 1356 01:21:42.479 --> 01:21:45.319 a four hundred million dollar backlog. They're supposed to do 1357 01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:47.920 X number of millions of dollars of road repairs each year, 1358 01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:50.520 and every year they kick the damn can down the road. Well, 1359 01:21:51.039 --> 01:21:52.880 welcome to the pension program. 1360 01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:56.039 That's exactly right, Brian. They're doing the same thing. They're 1361 01:21:56.079 --> 01:21:59.000 kicking the can down the road. And even when they 1362 01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:01.840 get surplus my like they did this year sixty five 1363 01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:05.600 million dollars, instead of applying that to the pension liability, 1364 01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:09.359 which is an eight hundred million dollars shortfall. 1365 01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:11.680 Eight hundred million, they decide to. 1366 01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:14.399 Put four million of that sixty five million towards the 1367 01:22:14.439 --> 01:22:18.199 pension liability, and they spend the rest. I think there's 1368 01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:21.800 about five hundred thousand dollars left of that sixty five 1369 01:22:21.920 --> 01:22:24.399 million that they haven't applied yet. 1370 01:22:24.680 --> 01:22:26.720 And where does that money go off to. It's a 1371 01:22:26.840 --> 01:22:30.319 random decision by the mayor that I'm going to spend 1372 01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:33.159 it over here. I mean, this isn't the power of 1373 01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:36.359 the purse resting in the hands of Congress type situation. 1374 01:22:36.560 --> 01:22:40.479 With that money, it's like we've got a dictator who 1375 01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:42.880 can just decide on his own terms where the money's 1376 01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:43.399 going to be spent. 1377 01:22:43.680 --> 01:22:45.760 Well, the way it was reported is that they broke 1378 01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:49.000 they broke it down into three different buckets. The mayor 1379 01:22:49.159 --> 01:22:53.640 got to recommend spending, the city council got to recommend spending. 1380 01:22:54.279 --> 01:22:57.119 In the city manager got to recommend spending. But I 1381 01:22:57.239 --> 01:22:59.600 must say that the money that the city manager spent 1382 01:22:59.840 --> 01:23:03.319 all went towards not all, but most went towards public safety. 1383 01:23:03.800 --> 01:23:07.560 The other things were all what we call pet projects. 1384 01:23:07.680 --> 01:23:11.439 The mayor wanted to spend three hundred thousand dollars renovating 1385 01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:13.359 City Hall and you know things. 1386 01:23:13.199 --> 01:23:16.439 Like that, real important stuff, very important, like the Bengals 1387 01:23:16.479 --> 01:23:18.680 getting new locker rooms for the players. It in yours 1388 01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:21.239 to everyone's benefit when that kind of thing happens, doesn't it. 1389 01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:24.840 That's right, great, great expenditure at taxpayer dollars. They're per ball. 1390 01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:29.800 So in order to tackle this challenge, which, as you 1391 01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:32.319 point out in your op ed piece, and I applaud 1392 01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:35.920 you for it, CINCINNTI Council must attack pension liability more aggressively. 1393 01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:40.960 The Cincinnati Futures Commission, Now, they remember when they rolled 1394 01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:43.279 out the report all the things that the city needs 1395 01:23:43.359 --> 01:23:44.960 to be doing or the things that they should be 1396 01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:49.840 looking at by way of righting this ship. And weren't 1397 01:23:49.880 --> 01:23:54.039 they the ones that said this was the most concerning 1398 01:23:54.199 --> 01:23:56.920 threat facing the City of Cincinnati or pension liability. 1399 01:23:57.079 --> 01:23:59.760 Yeah, that's right if you read the report. Unfortunately, this 1400 01:23:59.920 --> 01:24:02.199 was towards the back of the report. The report's very 1401 01:24:02.239 --> 01:24:04.960 difficult to read in the first place. But they identified 1402 01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:08.840 three threats, they call them threats. The most concerning is 1403 01:24:08.920 --> 01:24:12.800 the pension liability. And basically the issue is that eventually 1404 01:24:12.840 --> 01:24:17.039 it's going to eat the general fund alive. That by 1405 01:24:17.119 --> 01:24:20.079 the time we get down the road ten, fifteen, twenty years, 1406 01:24:20.920 --> 01:24:23.960 the pension liability, if it's not fixed, is going to 1407 01:24:24.039 --> 01:24:27.279 eat into the general fund to the point where we 1408 01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:30.600 can't afford basic operations. In addition, they're going to be 1409 01:24:30.800 --> 01:24:34.039 they're going to have to reduce benefits even more than 1410 01:24:34.079 --> 01:24:34.920 they have already. 1411 01:24:35.479 --> 01:24:39.399 Well, can a parallel be drawn to our national debt 1412 01:24:39.439 --> 01:24:41.840 of thirty seven trillion dollars because more and more of 1413 01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:45.039 that goes to debt service, eating into the rest of 1414 01:24:45.079 --> 01:24:48.479 the revenue that's supposed to fund things like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. 1415 01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:52.039 Right, Well, we already borrow money to the point where 1416 01:24:52.119 --> 01:24:55.079 we spend one hundred and forty million dollars a year 1417 01:24:55.520 --> 01:25:00.800 servicing our debt on our bonds. So this that is 1418 01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:04.199 even beyond that. This eight hundred million dollars is even 1419 01:25:04.279 --> 01:25:10.119 beyond that. And they're just contributing pennies to the thing 1420 01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:13.399 every year compared to what is required to make it solvent. 1421 01:25:13.319 --> 01:25:19.079 Pennies directed at the most concerning threat facing the city. 1422 01:25:19.239 --> 01:25:24.800 Yeah, there's definitely a disconnected futures Commission. Their solution, the 1423 01:25:24.880 --> 01:25:28.920 only solution they came up with, was to take the 1424 01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:31.760 pension fund and get it to a point. Right now, 1425 01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:34.600 it's sixty eight percent funded. They want to get it 1426 01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:38.399 up to eighty percent funded. And if they feel that 1427 01:25:38.479 --> 01:25:42.680 they do that, they can negotiate with the Ohio Retirement 1428 01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:48.920 System Public Employee Retirement System opers OPERS and therefore offload 1429 01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:53.359 the pension fund to the state now it's very complicated, 1430 01:25:53.520 --> 01:25:56.279 very controversial because you don't you don't know how the 1431 01:25:56.359 --> 01:25:59.960 two plans compare at this point, but that's their only solution. 1432 01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:03.079 And in order to do that, they want to raise 1433 01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:05.880 four hundred million dollars three hundred and ninety million dollars 1434 01:26:06.640 --> 01:26:10.600 to bring that pension fund up to eighty percent funded. 1435 01:26:11.119 --> 01:26:14.079 And they and had that been paying into the pension 1436 01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:18.279 fund on an appropriate level in the previous couple of decades, 1437 01:26:18.439 --> 01:26:20.760 we wouldn't have this challenge to start with, and we 1438 01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:22.760 wouldn't have to worry about unloading it on the rest 1439 01:26:22.800 --> 01:26:24.119 of the Ohio tax payers. 1440 01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:27.600 Right What's interesting is that right now, the pension system 1441 01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:33.560 is governed by a federal lawsuit settlement called the Collaborative 1442 01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:38.000 Settlement Agreement from twenty fifteen, where the city agreed to 1443 01:26:38.119 --> 01:26:41.359 bring the pension system to full funding one hundred percent 1444 01:26:41.479 --> 01:26:44.800 funding by twenty forty five. They gave them thirty years 1445 01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:49.119 to get there, and we already know, Brian, that they're 1446 01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:52.079 not going to make it. They're not going to come 1447 01:26:52.119 --> 01:26:52.840 anywhere close. 1448 01:26:55.239 --> 01:26:58.239 It's a pre existing function of government. It's like, you know, 1449 01:26:58.560 --> 01:27:00.680 you got X number of things you gotta pay for 1450 01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:03.840 every year and that pension is one of them, just 1451 01:27:03.960 --> 01:27:05.399 ignore the hell out of it, and then they have 1452 01:27:05.479 --> 01:27:07.640 to go to federal court and enter into a settlement 1453 01:27:07.680 --> 01:27:10.319 agreement that gives them an additional thirty plus years to 1454 01:27:10.399 --> 01:27:12.680 get to write this ship. And yet they haven't lifted 1455 01:27:12.720 --> 01:27:15.199 a finger in an effort to even comply with that. 1456 01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:16.600 Yeah, they're not gonna make it. 1457 01:27:17.039 --> 01:27:19.800 And are we governed by idiots? Is that what this 1458 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:22.479 comes down to? Are they all just financial illiterates? Or 1459 01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:25.920 if I was under that pension program, I would be 1460 01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:29.960 screaming bloody murder about this. What I mean, those who 1461 01:27:30.159 --> 01:27:32.880 have to rely on this pension system? Where are they? 1462 01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:34.479 Where's the revolt? Yeah? 1463 01:27:35.039 --> 01:27:38.039 Might Well, that's where this collaborative settlement agreement came from 1464 01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:41.680 twelve years ago. Is that people got so upset, like 1465 01:27:41.800 --> 01:27:46.800 they asked me union's individual retirement retirees. So that's where 1466 01:27:46.840 --> 01:27:49.800 the collaborative settlement agreement came from in the first place. 1467 01:27:50.439 --> 01:27:55.359 And based on the agreement, it looks like the people 1468 01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:58.199 could come at them again for not complying or not 1469 01:27:58.319 --> 01:28:01.239 living up to their agreement. They could probably reopen the thing, 1470 01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:04.520 I would like to think, so, so we'll see what happens. 1471 01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:06.479 It's like, I don't know what the terms of conditions 1472 01:28:06.520 --> 01:28:09.039 of the collaborative agreement are, but if you've been given 1473 01:28:09.239 --> 01:28:11.359 X number of years, it seems to me there are 1474 01:28:11.439 --> 01:28:16.199 probably certain benchmarks that you must accomplish along the way, 1475 01:28:17.159 --> 01:28:19.560 because you can't just wait till the thirtieth year and 1476 01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:22.000 then say, well, oh, that's right, we should have been 1477 01:28:22.039 --> 01:28:24.079 paying into this pension thing because we were obligated to 1478 01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:26.079 do it thirty five years ago or whatever. 1479 01:28:26.720 --> 01:28:31.720 Yeah, the agreement doesn't really specify specific amounts that need 1480 01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:33.479 to be devoted. 1481 01:28:33.560 --> 01:28:35.840 There is a failure in terms of entering into the agreement. 1482 01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:42.760 Yeah, but it does allow certain things to reopen negotiations 1483 01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:46.039 or reopen the settlement agreement you know that the judge 1484 01:28:46.079 --> 01:28:50.840 can approve. And this failure to be on track for 1485 01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:53.680 one hundred percent by twenty forty five I think falls 1486 01:28:53.720 --> 01:28:54.680 into that category. 1487 01:28:54.880 --> 01:28:57.279 I would make that argument. It seems like a winner. 1488 01:28:57.920 --> 01:28:59.479 I'm not going to call it a no brainer given 1489 01:28:59.479 --> 01:29:01.960 the complex to the situation Todd, but I think the 1490 01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:04.640 reason that this happens is I don't know that their 1491 01:29:05.079 --> 01:29:07.640 financial illiterates. I think that's probably part of it, but 1492 01:29:07.720 --> 01:29:12.279 I think they just spend money on their constituents. They 1493 01:29:12.359 --> 01:29:16.039 spend all these these things on their constituents. But aren't 1494 01:29:16.039 --> 01:29:17.640 the pensioners their constituents. 1495 01:29:18.039 --> 01:29:20.520 Yeah, but that's a smaller number, I think. 1496 01:29:20.680 --> 01:29:24.760 But screw them. They're retired, basically, isn't that the attitude? Well, 1497 01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:27.760 let's just look at the last few weeks. All right, 1498 01:29:27.840 --> 01:29:30.479 let's pause on that note. We have a nice foray 1499 01:29:30.600 --> 01:29:33.399 or entry to start off hitting the ground running when 1500 01:29:33.399 --> 01:29:35.840 we bring back Todd Zenzer again, check out the op 1501 01:29:36.000 --> 01:29:41.079 ed piece, since any council must attack pension liability more aggressively. Actually, 1502 01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:42.960 I think I would have been a little more aggressive 1503 01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:47.079 in the wording of the op ed piece. Todd stick 1504 01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:49.000 around me right back after I mentioned plumpype plumbing. It's 1505 01:29:49.000 --> 01:29:51.520 always plumbing done right confidently.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs, the talk station. 1550 01:32:04.279 --> 01:32:07.399 Seven twenty and Happy Tuesday too. Brian Thomas in studio 1551 01:32:07.479 --> 01:32:11.800 with Todd Zenzer. He knows his stuff when it comes 1552 01:32:11.840 --> 01:32:16.039 to audits and things financial of us a Department of Commerce. 1553 01:32:16.680 --> 01:32:19.399 Thirty one years as the Inspector General, he still remains 1554 01:32:19.439 --> 01:32:21.800 a certified fraud examiner. And basically it sounds to me 1555 01:32:21.960 --> 01:32:23.640 like what we're dealing with is a bunch of financial 1556 01:32:23.720 --> 01:32:26.800 fraud or at least massive incompetence on the part of 1557 01:32:26.840 --> 01:32:31.960 the City of Cincinnati. Pension liability outstanding total in the 1558 01:32:32.079 --> 01:32:36.159 whole six hundred and eighty million dollars, right, something like that. 1559 01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:39.720 Actually, the pension liability is up over eight hundred million. 1560 01:32:39.920 --> 01:32:43.119 Oh h here, I am misplacing a couple one hundred 1561 01:32:43.119 --> 01:32:45.319 million dollars, But that's what the City of Cincinnati does. 1562 01:32:45.520 --> 01:32:47.760 You're getting ready to walk in through some extraditional points 1563 01:32:47.800 --> 01:32:49.239 on this when we took a break, Todd, So let's 1564 01:32:49.239 --> 01:32:51.600 talk about it, because you and I were engaging in 1565 01:32:51.680 --> 01:32:54.119 this discussion on the break, and in spite of the 1566 01:32:54.199 --> 01:32:57.279 fact that the pension is just woefully underfunded and it 1567 01:32:57.479 --> 01:33:04.439 is under the subject matter of a federal settlement agreement 1568 01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:08.880 that's right, and we're not compliance. Apparently they still ignore it. 1569 01:33:09.680 --> 01:33:12.159 Well, they are ignoring it. That's that's the issue. They're 1570 01:33:12.199 --> 01:33:15.159 continuing to kick kick the problem down the road. You know, 1571 01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:18.199 they just spent sixty five million dollars of the surplus. 1572 01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:22.239 So but over the last three weeks they've come in 1573 01:33:22.439 --> 01:33:25.119 for a proposal of three hundred and twenty five thousand 1574 01:33:25.159 --> 01:33:29.119 dollars for a program a base in California. It's probably 1575 01:33:29.159 --> 01:33:32.520 got probably got a handful of cities that are participating 1576 01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:37.840 for to try to attack youth violence, youth gun violence. 1577 01:33:38.560 --> 01:33:43.399 And the idea is to actually pay certain youthh to 1578 01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:46.600 not commit crime, to behave that's right. So that's three great, 1579 01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:49.239 that's three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. 1580 01:33:49.359 --> 01:33:52.239 It's just an insane societal regression. 1581 01:33:52.560 --> 01:33:56.680 And then we've got half a million dollars that the 1582 01:33:56.760 --> 01:34:00.359 city council wants to spend on mental health, mental health 1583 01:34:00.479 --> 01:34:05.920 program for transgender youth. They've got there was the Vice 1584 01:34:06.039 --> 01:34:09.279 mayor was on the radio just the other day about 1585 01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:12.680 historic preservation of North Avondale and she's suggesting that the 1586 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:16.119 city council can pay for stained glass windows for homes 1587 01:34:16.840 --> 01:34:21.520 in North Assondale. I mean, it's you're making this. I'm 1588 01:34:21.560 --> 01:34:26.039 not making that up. No, I heard it myself. So 1589 01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:29.239 the idea is that there's a lot of things to 1590 01:34:29.279 --> 01:34:29.880 spend money on. 1591 01:34:30.119 --> 01:34:33.439 That silence was me just in a state of absolute disbelief. 1592 01:34:33.520 --> 01:34:34.279 I apologize. 1593 01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:37.680 There's a lot of worthwhile things to spend money on. 1594 01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:42.560 It's never ending. But the point is that dispensional liability 1595 01:34:42.920 --> 01:34:45.399 is a threat to the city and they're not doing 1596 01:34:45.399 --> 01:34:46.039 anything about it. 1597 01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:49.560 Well, and you just mentioned I'm not having to go 1598 01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:52.560 with transgender youth and their mental challenges. I can certainly 1599 01:34:52.560 --> 01:34:55.319 acknowledge it. They probably do. But I just got done 1600 01:34:55.359 --> 01:34:59.439 going through the Congressional the summary of the COVID nineteen 1601 01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:03.239 Select Subcommittee report, and it talked about one of the 1602 01:35:03.720 --> 01:35:07.279 consequences of the lockdowns and the lack of education was 1603 01:35:07.359 --> 01:35:12.560 a fifty one percent increase in girls twelve to seventeen 1604 01:35:12.600 --> 01:35:17.600 committing suicide. Wow. Yeah, you know, that is a broad 1605 01:35:18.319 --> 01:35:22.359 much broader than the challenges of the transgender youth, which 1606 01:35:22.399 --> 01:35:26.159 don't make up a sizable chunk of the population. That challenge, 1607 01:35:26.159 --> 01:35:29.920 in and of itself alone sounds like a more justifiable 1608 01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:32.039 thing to try to take a stab at. But you know, 1609 01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:35.279 this is the city of Cincinnati. What are they supposed 1610 01:35:35.319 --> 01:35:37.279 to What do they think they could possibly do? 1611 01:35:37.760 --> 01:35:40.079 Yeah, like four million dollars a year to the Green 1612 01:35:40.319 --> 01:35:42.800 Cincinnati plan, It's like, is that really, is that really 1613 01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:44.720 going to do anything for the environment? 1614 01:35:44.920 --> 01:35:47.840 Absolutely not, absolutely. 1615 01:35:47.279 --> 01:35:51.319 Not, But they keep spending. They just dedicated what is it, 1616 01:35:51.399 --> 01:35:54.000 five hundred thousand dollars for a green bank. 1617 01:35:54.359 --> 01:35:55.960 And that's the girl's a green bank. 1618 01:35:56.119 --> 01:35:59.159 The green bank is another kind of quasi agency that 1619 01:35:59.279 --> 01:36:01.399 the city's going to set up in order to be 1620 01:36:01.479 --> 01:36:06.399 a clearing house for money devoted to climate change. 1621 01:36:06.640 --> 01:36:09.760 Okay, and to everyone who might think that's a great idea, 1622 01:36:10.319 --> 01:36:16.399 again to the Wall Street Journal, Bjorn Lomburg's abed piece, 1623 01:36:16.520 --> 01:36:21.880 climate change colonialism keeps poor countries impoverished, And his point 1624 01:36:22.039 --> 01:36:25.520 is a brilliant one. You know, if you even want 1625 01:36:25.560 --> 01:36:28.239 to look at the weather related deaths that have gone on, 1626 01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:30.720 even if you want to draw a parallel between climate 1627 01:36:30.840 --> 01:36:34.520 change and weather, extreme weather took an average of nine 1628 01:36:34.680 --> 01:36:40.560 thousand lives each year over the past decade globally. Yet 1629 01:36:40.560 --> 01:36:43.880 they are spending literally billions of billions of dollars in 1630 01:36:44.039 --> 01:36:48.359 programs that do absolutely nothing for the impoverished countries that 1631 01:36:48.479 --> 01:36:52.840 they claim their saving through their green projects. This is 1632 01:36:52.880 --> 01:36:55.760 a global level talks here. Now we're moving down to 1633 01:36:55.840 --> 01:36:59.920 the Cincinnati city area level. As if what our carbon 1634 01:37:00.039 --> 01:37:03.239 emissions are collectively in the city have anything to do 1635 01:37:03.520 --> 01:37:05.359 with anything that's right. 1636 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:07.199 I agree with you, Brian. 1637 01:37:07.000 --> 01:37:08.680 Todds ins are hold on. We're going to continue this 1638 01:37:08.800 --> 01:37:12.359 conversation one more segment. First, they'll word for my great 1639 01:37:12.359 --> 01:37:15.600 friends at Fast and Pro Roofing. Outstanding folks they are. 1640 01:37:15.840 --> 01:37:18.079 They cannot be beaten in terms of the beautiful work 1641 01:37:18.119 --> 01:37:20.279 that they do. Fast and Pro Roofing known for the 1642 01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:23.560 excellence and quality of their work. It is truly superior. 1643 01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:27.079 But before the work comes comes the free roof inspection. 1644 01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:28.880 And that's where you got to worry. If you're working 1645 01:37:28.920 --> 01:37:30.560 with some of the roofing company, I doubt you're going 1646 01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:32.920 to get better quality roofing work. But in the bottom 1647 01:37:32.960 --> 01:37:35.359 line is you're probably going to get ripped off because 1648 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.520 there's so many ripoff artists in the roofing business. They 1649 01:37:38.560 --> 01:37:40.560 want to sell you something. They're going to say something 1650 01:37:40.640 --> 01:37:42.680 you don't know anything about getting on roofs and looking 1651 01:37:42.760 --> 01:37:46.119 for things that are wrong or problematic. They do that 1652 01:37:46.199 --> 01:37:47.479 and they come down they tell you got it to 1653 01:37:47.560 --> 01:37:50.159 get a new roof. Well maybe not Fast and Pro 1654 01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:52.079 will never try to say you anything. You do not 1655 01:37:52.279 --> 01:37:54.479 need your roof's in okay shape. They'll come down to say, hey, 1656 01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:56.479 it's an okay shape, call me in a couple of years. 1657 01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:58.279 Because you've at least got what it looks like that 1658 01:37:58.399 --> 01:38:01.000 much life less and left in it. That's a valuable, 1659 01:38:01.119 --> 01:38:04.279 valuable piece of advice you're going to get. And of 1660 01:38:04.359 --> 01:38:06.279 course Fast and Pro move on their way and go 1661 01:38:06.479 --> 01:38:09.640 do another inspection elsewhere.

He knows what he's talking 1708 01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:28.199 about when it comes to fraud examinations. He also knows 1709 01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:29.840 what he's talking about when it comes to bud it 1710 01:40:29.920 --> 01:40:34.079 comes to allocating and properly budgeting. The City of Cincinnati well, 1711 01:40:34.239 --> 01:40:36.079 as revealed this morning in the brief amount of time 1712 01:40:36.079 --> 01:40:39.039 we've been talking, has an epic failure in this regard. 1713 01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:42.119 The pension system is woefully underfunded and I want to 1714 01:40:42.159 --> 01:40:46.640 go back just briefly Todd to the idea the since 1715 01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:50.000 Any Futures Commission put out, which again the Sinceni Futures 1716 01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:53.479 Commission said, this is the biggest gravest threat the city 1717 01:40:53.600 --> 01:40:57.520 is facing, this pension liability. In an effort to deal 1718 01:40:57.600 --> 01:41:00.520 with that, if they write the pension a little bit, 1719 01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:04.520 they bring this hole down to four hundred million, then 1720 01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:09.800 somehow OPERHS would be willing to take it over. Well, like, 1721 01:41:09.880 --> 01:41:13.680 ohiopech and as an Ohio tax payer and I don't 1722 01:41:13.720 --> 01:41:16.079 live in the city Cincinnati, I'm like, this is the 1723 01:41:16.159 --> 01:41:18.800 hole you dug yourself in. Don't put that liability on me. 1724 01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:20.880 Why would OPERHS even agree to take it? 1725 01:41:21.680 --> 01:41:25.840 Yeah, well, I'm not really sure why they would take it, 1726 01:41:26.039 --> 01:41:29.279 But I don't know that the Futures Commission was all 1727 01:41:29.359 --> 01:41:32.800 that confident because they think that just getting to that 1728 01:41:32.880 --> 01:41:35.560 amount would get them to the negotiating table. It's not 1729 01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:37.600 that it would seal the deal or anything like that. 1730 01:41:38.079 --> 01:41:41.399 That's just to get talks going with the pension, the 1731 01:41:41.720 --> 01:41:42.760 state pension system. 1732 01:41:42.920 --> 01:41:47.000 But that would also bring them closer to compliance with 1733 01:41:47.159 --> 01:41:49.840 the consent decree they entered into the federal government, which 1734 01:41:49.920 --> 01:41:51.840 is supposed to be doing anyway, that's right. 1735 01:41:52.319 --> 01:41:56.600 So they should probably go ahead and try to reopen 1736 01:41:56.680 --> 01:41:59.520 that agreement if they give themselves a little more time 1737 01:41:59.600 --> 01:42:03.439 and be more aggressive about bringing that bringing that up. 1738 01:42:03.640 --> 01:42:04.960 But then we wouldn't be able to buy a new 1739 01:42:05.000 --> 01:42:08.600 stained glass windows for the folks in Avondel. Yeah. 1740 01:42:10.760 --> 01:42:15.279 The the the other issue though is this is regionalizing 1741 01:42:15.359 --> 01:42:18.520 the waterworks and whether that is even a possibility. 1742 01:42:19.000 --> 01:42:22.199 How would that help because so far as you've explained, 1743 01:42:22.239 --> 01:42:23.800 and we've been over this before, with the sale of 1744 01:42:23.840 --> 01:42:26.520 the railroad, they're just selling literally everything that's not nailed 1745 01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:29.479 down to make to meet their obligations presently, right right, 1746 01:42:29.720 --> 01:42:31.880 and that goes with the pension because right now the 1747 01:42:31.960 --> 01:42:34.359 pension's paying out more than it is taking in. 1748 01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:37.520 That's right. They've got four thousand people taking out or 1749 01:42:37.560 --> 01:42:41.720 beneficiaries that are using the using the retirement system, and 1750 01:42:41.800 --> 01:42:46.039 they've got three thousand people paying in. In addition, they 1751 01:42:46.319 --> 01:42:50.000 the pension Board, which is an agency of the city. 1752 01:42:50.079 --> 01:42:54.359 The pension Board has to sell its assets. It's reported 1753 01:42:54.439 --> 01:42:56.680 to the city that it has to sell its assets 1754 01:42:58.600 --> 01:43:01.079 in order to even pay bennet fits and expenses. So 1755 01:43:01.159 --> 01:43:08.560 they're eating away their investment of portfolio in order to 1756 01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:12.439 actually pay their bills, and so that reduces their investment income. 1757 01:43:13.199 --> 01:43:18.159 And they right now, according to their financial report, they're 1758 01:43:18.199 --> 01:43:24.079 one of the highest pension systems in the country I think, 1759 01:43:24.600 --> 01:43:28.319 who are using their investments to pay their their bills 1760 01:43:28.439 --> 01:43:31.720 or eating into their investments to pay their bills. 1761 01:43:32.720 --> 01:43:37.000 Which obvious stating the obvious imperils their ability, I mean, 1762 01:43:37.239 --> 01:43:40.239 more rapidly each year because the city clearly is not 1763 01:43:41.399 --> 01:43:46.039 replenishing what is being paid out. They haven't prioritized even 1764 01:43:46.159 --> 01:43:50.359 maintaining some even a level of status qual It sounds. 1765 01:43:50.199 --> 01:43:53.159 Like, right, And even their projections that went into that 1766 01:43:53.279 --> 01:43:56.319 collaborative agreement said that they were going to earn seven 1767 01:43:56.399 --> 01:44:00.479 and a quarter percent on their investments. Well down below 1768 01:44:01.039 --> 01:44:04.159 seven percent. They're not even hitting that target. So they've 1769 01:44:04.239 --> 01:44:06.680 got a lot of issues. It's kind of a downward spiral, 1770 01:44:07.399 --> 01:44:09.960 and nobody's really worried about it. 1771 01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:13.560 I guess, all right, let us just paint a somewhat 1772 01:44:14.199 --> 01:44:16.880 bleak scenario which looks like the trajectory we were on 1773 01:44:17.279 --> 01:44:21.920 while the council people and the city manager and the 1774 01:44:22.319 --> 01:44:28.000 mayor all fiddle. What happens when the pension runs out 1775 01:44:28.039 --> 01:44:28.359 of money? 1776 01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:32.119 Well, I don't know that it's going to run out 1777 01:44:32.119 --> 01:44:32.439 of money. 1778 01:44:32.439 --> 01:44:35.000 It's going to have to Well, they're they're eating principle 1779 01:44:35.119 --> 01:44:37.640 up as we talk apparently, So I what is it? 1780 01:44:37.760 --> 01:44:39.680 What is the future for the city sense? Any look 1781 01:44:39.800 --> 01:44:40.960 like if this problem is not. 1782 01:44:41.079 --> 01:44:45.600 Fixed, well, they're going to start reducing benefits fairly early, 1783 01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:50.399 earlier than failure. And I don't really know the answer 1784 01:44:50.439 --> 01:44:52.079 to that, Brian. I think they're going to have to 1785 01:44:52.319 --> 01:44:57.560 find some way to shore up the liability, to reduce 1786 01:44:57.640 --> 01:45:01.039 the liability, and they're going to to have to reopen 1787 01:45:01.359 --> 01:45:04.880 their collaborative settlement agreement to give themselves more time to 1788 01:45:04.960 --> 01:45:10.640 get there if they can, if they can, and I 1789 01:45:11.399 --> 01:45:13.920 really think that the city just has to start putting 1790 01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:17.920 money into that pension liability to ward off what we're 1791 01:45:17.960 --> 01:45:20.880 talking about, instead of spending it on stupid things, on 1792 01:45:21.000 --> 01:45:25.319 all these pet projects and all this social welfare spending. 1793 01:45:25.520 --> 01:45:28.600 And they've got to start prioritizing their spending. It's as 1794 01:45:28.640 --> 01:45:32.199 simple as that. And yeah, I think it's a real 1795 01:45:32.279 --> 01:45:34.800 problem for the for the people that have to rely 1796 01:45:34.960 --> 01:45:36.000 on that pension system. 1797 01:45:37.159 --> 01:45:39.600 Clearly I would want to be there. I sure as 1798 01:45:39.640 --> 01:45:42.640 hell wouldn't want to be there either. So anyhow, well, 1799 01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:47.199 You've shed a huge bright spotlight on a problem that 1800 01:45:47.800 --> 01:45:49.920 every one of the cities should be talking about, certainly 1801 01:45:49.960 --> 01:45:52.800 those in elected capacity, and they should prioritize this as 1802 01:45:52.880 --> 01:45:57.640 numero una, just like the Cincinnati Futures Commission did. Boy, 1803 01:45:57.760 --> 01:45:59.680 they thought the sun shined out that since if you 1804 01:45:59.720 --> 01:46:02.520 could future Commission's bottom until you get to this particular 1805 01:46:02.600 --> 01:46:06.600 component in their chapter in the report and you realize that, no, 1806 01:46:06.800 --> 01:46:09.079 we are on a downward spiral that doesn't look like 1807 01:46:09.119 --> 01:46:09.920 it's going to be fixed. 1808 01:46:10.039 --> 01:46:12.680 Their recommendation was for the mayor to appoint a task 1809 01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:14.960 force to even look into this issue. He hasn't even 1810 01:46:15.039 --> 01:46:15.279 done that. 1811 01:46:16.359 --> 01:46:18.640 Todd Zenzer, you're a brilliant man. I appreciate what you're 1812 01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:20.840 doing on behalf of the citizens of the city of Cincinnati, 1813 01:46:20.880 --> 01:46:25.279 whether they appreciate or not, and hopefully more competent people 1814 01:46:26.039 --> 01:46:29.840 will be elected to deal with the problem.

It's a real 1878 01:49:36.239 --> 01:49:37.520 pleasure to have you back on today. 1879 01:49:38.560 --> 01:49:40.399 Oh thanks, Brian, appreciate you having me back on. 1880 01:49:40.720 --> 01:49:41.239 You're yac. 1881 01:49:42.920 --> 01:49:43.159 Yeah. 1882 01:49:43.479 --> 01:49:46.840 Now, first off, since it's kind of a springboard, everyone 1883 01:49:47.000 --> 01:49:51.479 keeps bringing it up. The absurdity behind Joe Biden's pardoning 1884 01:49:51.560 --> 01:49:53.600 of his son, not that that comes as a surprise 1885 01:49:53.680 --> 01:49:56.640 to anybody, but the idea that he had the audacity 1886 01:49:56.720 --> 01:49:59.119 in the face of all the evidence that we all 1887 01:49:59.239 --> 01:50:01.079 know about, at those of us who've taken the time 1888 01:50:01.119 --> 01:50:04.880 to remember, like the slow walk of the IRS investigation, 1889 01:50:05.039 --> 01:50:08.600 allowing the statute limitations to blow by, that somehow he 1890 01:50:08.800 --> 01:50:11.520 was the victim of an abusive justice system, and that 1891 01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:14.199 nobody out there, if it wasn't for the fact that 1892 01:50:14.279 --> 01:50:16.439 he was Hunter Biden and the son of Joe Biden, 1893 01:50:16.680 --> 01:50:20.000 would have been gone after from a legal perspective, despite 1894 01:50:20.000 --> 01:50:22.039 of the fact that he pled guilty to tax evasion 1895 01:50:22.079 --> 01:50:24.960 and was found guilty of the FFL violation. What was 1896 01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:28.960 your reaction to that, knowing all that you know about 1897 01:50:29.039 --> 01:50:33.720 how ill treated and desperately treated these January six folks were. 1898 01:50:36.680 --> 01:50:37.960 I can't say that on the air. 1899 01:50:39.680 --> 01:50:42.359 Thank you for honoring the sec guidance that I must 1900 01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:45.439 follow every day. Trust me, I understand how difficult it 1901 01:50:45.479 --> 01:50:45.680 can be. 1902 01:50:46.800 --> 01:50:50.159 Yeah. I mean, I'm going to read it right after 1903 01:50:50.239 --> 01:50:52.319 he got this book. In the throes of addiction, I 1904 01:50:52.439 --> 01:50:56.000 squandered opportunities and advantages, and in recovery, we can be 1905 01:50:56.079 --> 01:50:58.920 given the opportunity to make amends and rebuild our lives. 1906 01:50:59.039 --> 01:51:01.319 If we never take for granted the mercy we have 1907 01:51:01.399 --> 01:51:04.560 been afforded, give me a freaking break. I mean, if 1908 01:51:04.600 --> 01:51:06.720 you were some poor guy who had been victimized for 1909 01:51:06.800 --> 01:51:09.760 showing up and protesting one day, thrown into a jail 1910 01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:12.279 for three years and nine months, never given a trial, 1911 01:51:12.680 --> 01:51:16.000 beaten abused, I can't really tell you the things that 1912 01:51:16.079 --> 01:51:18.439 might happen to you in that environment, but they're really horrible, 1913 01:51:18.479 --> 01:51:20.640 and you can read about them in the book. And 1914 01:51:20.760 --> 01:51:22.720 then you want to, you know, you want to play 1915 01:51:22.880 --> 01:51:25.840 like I'm the victim. How democrat is this? I'm just 1916 01:51:25.880 --> 01:51:28.239 going to come right out and say it. The Democrats 1917 01:51:28.319 --> 01:51:32.640 are victimized all the time. They've they've inculcated a culture 1918 01:51:32.760 --> 01:51:36.279 of victimization in order to split America into the halves 1919 01:51:36.359 --> 01:51:39.560 and the haves not. And I think it's very important 1920 01:51:39.600 --> 01:51:42.319 to realize that this wasn't like a blanket pardon this 1921 01:51:42.760 --> 01:51:45.159 back to ten years Yeah, why did it go back 1922 01:51:45.199 --> 01:51:49.039 ten years? Well, guess who started working in Ukraine just 1923 01:51:49.119 --> 01:51:52.680 a little bit after ten years, Hunter Biden. This is 1924 01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:55.199 a cover. This is Joe Biden's pardon. This is not 1925 01:51:55.359 --> 01:51:56.000 Hunter's pardon. 1926 01:51:56.159 --> 01:51:58.640 Yeah, very excellent point, and that is one that cannot 1927 01:51:58.680 --> 01:52:01.199 be overlooked. You are at absolutely right. This is a 1928 01:52:01.279 --> 01:52:03.680 pardon for Joe Biden and the Biden what we'll call 1929 01:52:03.800 --> 01:52:05.720 crime family, if we may be so bold, and I 1930 01:52:05.800 --> 01:52:09.239 think we can, I mean, Lord almighty, how many suspicious 1931 01:52:09.279 --> 01:52:13.279 activity reports did financial institutions turn in on the multitude 1932 01:52:13.319 --> 01:52:15.840 of Biden family members and friends over a short period 1933 01:52:15.840 --> 01:52:17.560 of time. If that was you or I we'd be 1934 01:52:17.680 --> 01:52:18.760 locked up right now. 1935 01:52:20.399 --> 01:52:21.800 Yeah, well, you don't have to do that to get 1936 01:52:21.840 --> 01:52:24.079 locked up in this country anymore. Well, and I'm hoping 1937 01:52:24.159 --> 01:52:27.359 it's Brian. I'm just gonna say it. I think I 1938 01:52:27.479 --> 01:52:30.720 think all of us have seen enough truth exposed. If 1939 01:52:30.760 --> 01:52:32.680 you haven't seen enough, I can take where to go 1940 01:52:32.800 --> 01:52:35.680 to find it because it's right out there in the open. 1941 01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:38.199 Mainstream media only show it to you, but we've shown 1942 01:52:38.199 --> 01:52:40.800 it to you for almost three years now, and I 1943 01:52:40.880 --> 01:52:42.760 think that's all going to come out. I think now 1944 01:52:42.880 --> 01:52:46.359 this the curtain is going to get ripped back. How 1945 01:52:46.439 --> 01:52:48.800 did that say it? And when it gets too expensive 1946 01:52:48.920 --> 01:52:52.119 to maintain the illusion, we'll just pull the curtain back, 1947 01:52:52.199 --> 01:52:54.399 turn off the stage lights, move the furniture, the actor 1948 01:52:54.520 --> 01:52:57.319 to leave, and you'll see that brick wall. Well, and 1949 01:52:57.399 --> 01:52:59.359 I think that's what we're looking at. We're looking at 1950 01:52:59.399 --> 01:53:01.279 the brick wall. All the truth. Now, all of these 1951 01:53:01.319 --> 01:53:05.199 things have been exposed. The result was a landslide on 1952 01:53:05.319 --> 01:53:09.359 this election for President Trump, and I think they're scared 1953 01:53:09.399 --> 01:53:12.760 to death of his appointments, and rightly so. We're entering 1954 01:53:12.800 --> 01:53:15.479 a new era. But I want to compare the pardon 1955 01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:20.760 for a hunter should absolutely eliminate any opposition anybody ever 1956 01:53:20.920 --> 01:53:24.359 had about pardoning the Jay stationery because they've done nothing 1957 01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:28.079 compared to what this man has done, not to mention stealing, 1958 01:53:28.159 --> 01:53:31.119 helping to steal the election, hiding the perfidity of that 1959 01:53:31.319 --> 01:53:34.319 laptop and all the horrible information that's on it, sex 1960 01:53:34.439 --> 01:53:38.079 traffic miners across state lines. Oh my god. I just 1961 01:53:38.159 --> 01:53:40.560 don't have enough time to go through this criminal record. 1962 01:53:40.920 --> 01:53:44.239 And yet you've got people who were not violent, who 1963 01:53:44.520 --> 01:53:46.880 have been sitting in prison for years, and people who 1964 01:53:46.920 --> 01:53:50.319 weren't even there that Day sentenced to twenty two years. 1965 01:53:51.359 --> 01:53:54.479 Come on, I mean, where is justice in America? Now? 1966 01:53:55.039 --> 01:54:00.880 It's justice, well, and certainly the truth in tim I 1967 01:54:01.039 --> 01:54:04.439 just I think about the non violent I just put aside. 1968 01:54:04.479 --> 01:54:06.359 You know, I know there's someone screaming going, well, but 1969 01:54:06.439 --> 01:54:08.560 what about that one guy who beat the crap out 1970 01:54:08.600 --> 01:54:11.920 of a police officer. Okay, let's put that guy aside, 1971 01:54:12.079 --> 01:54:14.560 and let's talk about the person who just randomly strolled 1972 01:54:14.560 --> 01:54:17.039 through the Capitol building and yet was imprisoned for that, 1973 01:54:17.279 --> 01:54:19.880 had to defend themselves in court, retain a lawyer at 1974 01:54:20.039 --> 01:54:23.319 significant expense if they could, or forced to cop a 1975 01:54:23.399 --> 01:54:26.000 plea because they couldn't afford a lawyer forcing him in 1976 01:54:26.079 --> 01:54:28.920 prison for something as minor as infraction in that And 1977 01:54:29.000 --> 01:54:32.199 then look at all of the violence and the and 1978 01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:35.319 the and the property damage done by the ANTIFA types 1979 01:54:35.359 --> 01:54:37.239 and the Black Lives Matter folks that were out there 1980 01:54:37.640 --> 01:54:46.159 absolute criminal activity, distinct observable documentable property destruction, and also 1981 01:54:46.319 --> 01:54:49.319 people that were severely injured in some cases killed as 1982 01:54:49.319 --> 01:54:52.720 a consequence of their violence. Do you imagine the amount 1983 01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:56.920 of resources, the money, and effort that the FBI spent 1984 01:54:57.880 --> 01:55:00.920 tracking down the old lady who they now have in 1985 01:55:01.039 --> 01:55:03.720 prison because she wandered around. I mean that they they 1986 01:55:03.920 --> 01:55:08.239 use valuable resources and dollars going after non violent folks 1987 01:55:08.560 --> 01:55:10.840 when the crime, when the streets are just laden with 1988 01:55:11.159 --> 01:55:13.760 violent criminals, that even if they pick them up, they 1989 01:55:13.840 --> 01:55:14.560 just let them out. 1990 01:55:16.359 --> 01:55:20.199 All right, I am wow. You know, there's there's a 1991 01:55:21.239 --> 01:55:23.680 there's a there's a problem with living long enough that 1992 01:55:23.800 --> 01:55:26.760 you can see major changes in culture like I have. 1993 01:55:27.960 --> 01:55:30.560 But I can see the difference in America. I can 1994 01:55:30.680 --> 01:55:34.319 see and feel the difference in our cultural belief and 1995 01:55:34.399 --> 01:55:38.000 the qualities of America and the promises of America. And 1996 01:55:38.079 --> 01:55:41.319 that's all come about because everybody has been so uh 1997 01:55:41.520 --> 01:55:46.159 so intent on creating this uh this false reality that 1998 01:55:46.800 --> 01:55:49.560 that you got more than I got. Therefore you're evil 1999 01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:51.880 and I'm good, and let's pay let's tay a really 2000 01:55:51.880 --> 01:55:53.840 good attention. I can say you're bad and we can 2001 01:55:53.920 --> 01:55:56.560 have a conversation, right, I can say you're evil, and 2002 01:55:56.640 --> 01:55:59.199 we no longer have anything to talk about. And that's 2003 01:55:59.199 --> 01:56:02.319 what's happened here there. There's been a vilification that it's 2004 01:56:02.359 --> 01:56:06.600 been almost irreversible killed any kind of dialogue that we 2005 01:56:06.760 --> 01:56:09.399 might have had to come to some conclusions. And now 2006 01:56:09.439 --> 01:56:12.439 we're a split America, and we have such a huge 2007 01:56:12.520 --> 01:56:14.840 task ahead of us. The first thing you need to 2008 01:56:14.920 --> 01:56:18.800 do is bind up the nation's wounds. Who said that, 2009 01:56:19.039 --> 01:56:22.600 Oh yeah, somebody else said that I stole. Bind up 2010 01:56:22.600 --> 01:56:24.880 the nation wound and started by getting all the ja 2011 01:56:24.960 --> 01:56:27.960 sisers out of jail. Those who really did something wrong 2012 01:56:28.079 --> 01:56:31.359 that day can be tried for those things separately. All 2013 01:56:31.399 --> 01:56:33.640 you have to do is, you know, basically, dismiss those 2014 01:56:33.720 --> 01:56:39.039 charges without prejudice, unlike Hunter's pardon, which is with prejudice, 2015 01:56:39.279 --> 01:56:41.600 which means you can never go after this man for 2016 01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:44.760 anything that he did or anything that he was involved in. 2017 01:56:44.960 --> 01:56:48.800 Pay attention to that one for ten years back, ten 2018 01:56:48.920 --> 01:56:51.399 years back. How about we just go back five years 2019 01:56:51.439 --> 01:56:53.520 and just give the I'll take half of that, go 2020 01:56:53.680 --> 01:56:55.680 back five and give all the Jay six ers a 2021 01:56:55.840 --> 01:56:58.640 pass and then pay them back for the destructions of 2022 01:56:58.680 --> 01:56:59.199 their lives. 2023 01:57:00.640 --> 01:57:03.800 Well, one can only help that some justice does happen 2024 01:57:03.920 --> 01:57:07.520 along those lines. And you know what, all I can observe, 2025 01:57:07.600 --> 01:57:12.079 Tim the Republicans have a huge, huge, huge task in 2026 01:57:12.159 --> 01:57:14.119 front of them, and if they don't get their act 2027 01:57:14.199 --> 01:57:18.560 together and actually accomplish something over a very short window 2028 01:57:18.680 --> 01:57:20.880 of opportunity, we're going to be back having the same 2029 01:57:20.960 --> 01:57:22.680 damn conversation a couple of years from that. 2030 01:57:22.840 --> 01:57:24.279 Tim, We are. 2031 01:57:24.359 --> 01:57:26.319 But you know what, your listeners have to be part 2032 01:57:26.359 --> 01:57:28.159 of this. All of us have to be part of this. 2033 01:57:28.279 --> 01:57:30.720 I mean, that's the why I got involved. I realized 2034 01:57:30.720 --> 01:57:33.560 that I didn't get part. If I didn't take some action, 2035 01:57:34.239 --> 01:57:36.279 things are just going to keep going the way they were. 2036 01:57:36.680 --> 01:57:40.000 Everybody's got this capability. You can call your congressman, you 2037 01:57:40.119 --> 01:57:42.760 can get involved in local politics, you can support the 2038 01:57:42.800 --> 01:57:46.159 people who are fighting on the front line. Everybody can 2039 01:57:46.279 --> 01:57:49.079 do something. And I got news for you. The politicians 2040 01:57:49.119 --> 01:57:51.680 are not going to say this. It's we, the people 2041 01:57:51.760 --> 01:57:55.119 who have the responsibility within the constitution and within our 2042 01:57:55.199 --> 01:57:58.880 form of government to make sure that we preserve the 2043 01:57:59.000 --> 01:58:01.279 goodness of America for future generations. 2044 01:58:01.319 --> 01:58:02.319 And we have failed. 2045 01:58:02.800 --> 01:58:05.039 And now I tell everybody who's listening to this, you 2046 01:58:05.119 --> 01:58:06.960 have a chance to fix it. All you got to 2047 01:58:07.000 --> 01:58:09.399 do is get off your butt and do something. Go 2048 01:58:09.520 --> 01:58:12.239 to J six patriotnews dot com, read about the truth, 2049 01:58:12.800 --> 01:58:15.119 buy our books at Letters from Prison dot us.

There are so many things you can do 2053 01:58:24.119 --> 01:58:26.920 that there are just a little tiny drop in the water. 2054 01:58:27.159 --> 01:58:28.840 Is all it takes, is all of us do it. 2055 01:58:28.920 --> 01:58:32.800 We have a tsunami. If you sit in walk, nothing happens. 2056 01:58:32.840 --> 01:58:35.359 And so I call you to action, America. It's time 2057 01:58:35.439 --> 01:58:36.920 to wake up. We got it, like you said, like 2058 01:58:37.000 --> 01:58:39.720 Brian said, We've got a huge job ahead of us, 2059 01:58:39.920 --> 01:58:42.600 and it will take every single one of us doing 2060 01:58:42.720 --> 01:58:45.680 our part to restore this country and to give our 2061 01:58:45.800 --> 01:58:48.840 children what we do it.

Good to have you on the program, 2099 02:00:33.520 --> 02:00:37.079 and a happy Tuesday to you, sir. Good morning, Brian 2100 02:00:37.119 --> 02:00:41.479 from a cold Washington. That's cold here too, so you 2101 02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:43.800 can't look on the city of Cincinnati had twenty one 2102 02:00:43.840 --> 02:00:46.199 degrees with any envy this morning. Although it may be 2103 02:00:46.319 --> 02:00:48.479 colder where you are, it sucks to be in winter 2104 02:00:48.640 --> 02:00:49.840 time period of the story. 2105 02:00:50.520 --> 02:00:50.640 Uh. 2106 02:00:51.039 --> 02:00:53.800 Joe Biden in his statement pardoning his son, which I 2107 02:00:53.840 --> 02:00:56.319 think most people believe was gonna happen, but he said 2108 02:00:56.359 --> 02:00:58.960 his son had been treated differently by the Justice Department 2109 02:00:59.000 --> 02:01:03.119 and was singing only because he is my son, and 2110 02:01:03.239 --> 02:01:05.479 that is wrong. Well, you know, you and I might 2111 02:01:05.520 --> 02:01:08.840 look at that statement and say, actually, that's accurate. He 2112 02:01:09.079 --> 02:01:12.199 was singled out and actually was singled out for soft treatment. 2113 02:01:12.279 --> 02:01:15.119 He was treated differently than any other human being in 2114 02:01:15.239 --> 02:01:19.560 the United States who would be prosecuted for all the 2115 02:01:19.920 --> 02:01:23.520 financial transactions he engaged in let's face it, prior to 2116 02:01:23.600 --> 02:01:26.439 them being barred by the statute limitations. 2117 02:01:28.920 --> 02:01:29.560 Yeah, that's right. 2118 02:01:29.640 --> 02:01:32.479 I think Marco Paulo has done some good work and 2119 02:01:32.800 --> 02:01:35.840 they've put out a spreadsheet of about one hundred and 2120 02:01:35.960 --> 02:01:41.600 forty statutes that Hunter, you know, may have violated. And 2121 02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:46.640 that just speaks to why Joe Biden, you know, extended 2122 02:01:46.680 --> 02:01:49.640 this pardon to Hunter over the course of ten years 2123 02:01:49.760 --> 02:01:52.319 because I think, you know, there was maybe some fear 2124 02:01:52.439 --> 02:01:55.560 that some justice would be coming over the next four years. 2125 02:01:56.199 --> 02:01:59.039 Well, let me ask you this, is it possible that 2126 02:01:59.279 --> 02:02:02.000 justice could still becoming now? I know, Joe Biden's got 2127 02:02:02.079 --> 02:02:04.079 more pardons up his sleeve, and you know, the whole 2128 02:02:04.119 --> 02:02:06.439 Biden family is probably going to be given a partner 2129 02:02:06.479 --> 02:02:10.319 for the same period of time. But what of the 2130 02:02:10.960 --> 02:02:13.239 receipt of all this money, the fact that he was 2131 02:02:13.359 --> 02:02:16.560 received from foreign governments. Aren't there like FIA charges that 2132 02:02:16.600 --> 02:02:19.840 could be brought here to other against other people. I mean, 2133 02:02:19.880 --> 02:02:22.920 he received millions from the Chinese Communist Party, he received 2134 02:02:22.960 --> 02:02:26.159 millions from the Russians, he received millions from the Abarissma 2135 02:02:26.239 --> 02:02:29.119 holdings in Ukraine, I mean, and a lot of that 2136 02:02:29.159 --> 02:02:31.800 money got distributed to a variety of different Biden family 2137 02:02:31.840 --> 02:02:34.880 members and friends. So is this all dead and over 2138 02:02:34.960 --> 02:02:36.840 with with Hunter Biden's broad pardon. 2139 02:02:38.520 --> 02:02:41.520 I think Hunter Biden was just the front man for 2140 02:02:42.000 --> 02:02:45.479 the Biden crime family. And so when you when you 2141 02:02:45.600 --> 02:02:50.279 look at these wire transfers that Oversight Chairman James Comer 2142 02:02:50.479 --> 02:02:54.680 has dug up, it shows a whole web of of 2143 02:02:55.039 --> 02:02:59.920 money flowing to and from Biden family members that originated 2144 02:03:00.119 --> 02:03:04.640 from overseas business. And so Joe Biden has not issued 2145 02:03:04.680 --> 02:03:08.960 a pardon. James Biden, which is Joe Biden's brother, Hunter 2146 02:03:09.079 --> 02:03:13.479 Biden's uncle, James Biden, is probably more corrupt than Hunter Biden. 2147 02:03:13.560 --> 02:03:16.600 He just didn't have a laptop that he abandoned at 2148 02:03:16.600 --> 02:03:17.840 a New York repair shop. 2149 02:03:18.159 --> 02:03:20.720 Apparent probably didn't have as bad of a drug problem either, 2150 02:03:21.520 --> 02:03:22.079 I'm sorry. 2151 02:03:23.159 --> 02:03:26.560 Probably probably not, although I think there was some images 2152 02:03:26.680 --> 02:03:30.039 of him, maybe that was the other his Joe Biden's 2153 02:03:30.039 --> 02:03:32.920 other brother, of him taking you know, a naked shot 2154 02:03:32.960 --> 02:03:36.000 of him in the bathroom. The whole family is gross. Yeah, 2155 02:03:36.079 --> 02:03:38.439 and I think America is going to be very happy 2156 02:03:38.479 --> 02:03:42.199 when they get a real president back in the White House. 2157 02:03:42.439 --> 02:03:45.600 Well, and I think, you know it's this type of thing. 2158 02:03:45.920 --> 02:03:48.880 The the the the treatment of Hunter Biden, and again 2159 02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:51.640 the fact that they slow walk the original investigation. You 2160 02:03:51.760 --> 02:03:54.479 have these irs whistleblowers talking about me. They had damning 2161 02:03:54.600 --> 02:03:58.199 information on him. They had the Hunter Biden laptop information 2162 02:03:58.359 --> 02:04:02.079 in the form of that. That was the the FBI 2163 02:04:02.239 --> 02:04:06.399 investigation form form was it two twenty three year or something. Anyway, 2164 02:04:06.840 --> 02:04:10.640 it was all corroborated independently by their investigation. It shows 2165 02:04:10.720 --> 02:04:12.760 up on a laptop. You got fifty one people from 2166 02:04:12.800 --> 02:04:15.359 the Obama administration stepping up saying the laptop is a 2167 02:04:15.359 --> 02:04:18.079 bunch of Russian hoaxes just enough to get Biden through 2168 02:04:18.119 --> 02:04:20.720 the election. We all saw it with our own eyes. 2169 02:04:21.359 --> 02:04:24.439 We all witnessed it. We've all been listening to this nonsense. 2170 02:04:24.520 --> 02:04:30.880 And for the past four years, Donald Trump beat the 2171 02:04:31.039 --> 02:04:34.680 living hell out of Kamala Harris in spite of eight 2172 02:04:35.039 --> 02:04:39.840 years of constant drum beat of evil orange man, zeemophobe, 2173 02:04:39.960 --> 02:04:43.319 ho of foe races, misogynist, blah blah blah. You couldn't 2174 02:04:43.319 --> 02:04:45.560 get away from that. And yet he bludgeoned her like 2175 02:04:45.640 --> 02:04:48.359 a baby harp seal. That's the American people knowing what's 2176 02:04:48.439 --> 02:04:49.439 going on, isn't it. 2177 02:04:51.399 --> 02:04:53.880 I think what this election proved is that the American 2178 02:04:53.960 --> 02:04:56.800 people are very smart and we should trust the American 2179 02:04:56.920 --> 02:04:59.680 people on who they believe is best to lead this 2180 02:05:00.880 --> 02:05:04.720 and the people who have been leading this country are 2181 02:05:06.000 --> 02:05:07.840 i have not done a good job, and the people 2182 02:05:07.920 --> 02:05:12.720 who have helped them stay in power have totally lost credibility, 2183 02:05:12.840 --> 02:05:15.439 such as the media. You have the media going out 2184 02:05:15.479 --> 02:05:18.000 there saying for months that, oh, Joe Biden's not going 2185 02:05:18.079 --> 02:05:21.079 to part in Hunter because Joe Biden said so. Well, 2186 02:05:21.159 --> 02:05:24.359 Joe Biden's word isn't worth a flip, and so the 2187 02:05:24.479 --> 02:05:26.640 media has egg on their face today. And that's why 2188 02:05:26.720 --> 02:05:30.720 you're saying the media, you know, tiptoeing around saying, oh wow, gee, 2189 02:05:31.159 --> 02:05:33.880 Joe just lied to us, or you know, Joe's not 2190 02:05:34.079 --> 02:05:36.720 making us look very nice. Well, Joe is not a 2191 02:05:36.840 --> 02:05:39.520 very nice guy. He's an angry old man, and when 2192 02:05:39.520 --> 02:05:41.520 he leaves office, I think he'll be remembered as the 2193 02:05:41.560 --> 02:05:43.439 most corrupt president in American history. 2194 02:05:44.439 --> 02:05:48.800 Yeah, it's an excellent and astute observation. Another stute observation 2195 02:05:48.960 --> 02:05:53.039 I saw this morning from James Freeman speaking about this pardon. 2196 02:05:54.199 --> 02:05:57.119 Also a question of who authored the statement that came 2197 02:05:57.199 --> 02:06:00.800 out Joe Biden clearly didn't. He reminded them, the readers 2198 02:06:02.039 --> 02:06:04.039 that you know, it was only ten months ago the 2199 02:06:04.439 --> 02:06:07.840 Justice Department special counsel said Joe Biden was too forgetful 2200 02:06:07.960 --> 02:06:11.560 to prosecute even though there was, you know, indictable information there. 2201 02:06:12.000 --> 02:06:13.920 And more than four months after, they pulled the plug 2202 02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:18.279 on his presidential campaign because of his mental infirmities. And 2203 02:06:18.640 --> 02:06:23.000 and here we go. I mean, who art have you 2204 02:06:23.079 --> 02:06:29.880 ever concluded, my friend Wendell, who the puppet masters are? 2205 02:06:30.039 --> 02:06:31.720 I mean, most of my listeners believe it to be 2206 02:06:31.800 --> 02:06:35.039 the Biden, the former Obama administration and those that are 2207 02:06:35.079 --> 02:06:38.600 still around, because Barack Obama didn't go far go very 2208 02:06:38.640 --> 02:06:42.279 far away after he left office. So is that new's 2209 02:06:42.359 --> 02:06:45.800 behind all this quote unquote strategy if you can even 2210 02:06:45.840 --> 02:06:46.800 call this a strategy. 2211 02:06:49.000 --> 02:06:52.720 I think that Joe Biden has some loyalists, and I 2212 02:06:52.800 --> 02:06:56.039 think the chief loyalist is Joe Biden. I think Joe Biden, 2213 02:06:56.680 --> 02:07:00.279 you know, really wants power, really wants to be in 2214 02:07:00.359 --> 02:07:02.439 the spotlight. I think that you know, she has a 2215 02:07:02.479 --> 02:07:05.199 lot of influence with Joe Biden's thinking, maybe as the 2216 02:07:05.399 --> 02:07:10.479 enforcer behind the scenes with Joe Biden's you know, top deputies, 2217 02:07:10.920 --> 02:07:15.000 But the bottom line is they have covered up Joe 2218 02:07:15.079 --> 02:07:20.319 Biden's mental infirmities for four years and that came to 2219 02:07:20.399 --> 02:07:22.840 the forefront in such a way that he had to 2220 02:07:22.960 --> 02:07:27.520 drop out of the presidential race, and they installed Kamala Harris, 2221 02:07:27.960 --> 02:07:30.359 which you know, was a terrible candidate, but Joe Biden 2222 02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:32.199 was also a terrible candidate. 2223 02:07:32.600 --> 02:07:34.520 And so I guess what we get is. 2224 02:07:34.640 --> 02:07:38.239 Another more four years of a terrific President Trump. 2225 02:07:39.159 --> 02:07:41.880 Well, let's hope that the Republicans hurry up and get 2226 02:07:41.880 --> 02:07:44.760 a whole lot done before the midterm elections, because you know, 2227 02:07:45.239 --> 02:07:48.479 if history is any guy, the party in power typically 2228 02:07:48.600 --> 02:07:52.119 loses seats and we back to square one and do nothing. 2229 02:07:53.159 --> 02:07:54.760 Congress going back. 2230 02:07:54.800 --> 02:07:56.880 If I could interject, if I could, oh yeah, please, 2231 02:07:56.920 --> 02:07:59.920 I think I think one thing that happens when Republicans 2232 02:08:00.079 --> 02:08:02.920 at powers, they don't use their voters give them the 2233 02:08:03.000 --> 02:08:06.319 power to make changes, and they in the past have 2234 02:08:06.479 --> 02:08:09.279 done very little. Yes, And so the hope is in 2235 02:08:09.359 --> 02:08:13.239 the next four years that Donald Trump installs the men 2236 02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:16.560 and women that he would like to help him change government. 2237 02:08:16.640 --> 02:08:18.359 We need to drain the swamp, we need to fire 2238 02:08:18.439 --> 02:08:23.479 people in these federal bureaucracies. And without doing that, we're 2239 02:08:23.560 --> 02:08:26.399 just going to be trying to tread water for the 2240 02:08:26.479 --> 02:08:29.760 next four years, and then you're right, we're going to 2241 02:08:29.800 --> 02:08:35.319 have no results because guess what, Donald Trump promised for 2242 02:08:35.479 --> 02:08:37.960 four years that he would drain the swamp. And so 2243 02:08:38.600 --> 02:08:41.039 if he delivers on that promise, I think Americans are 2244 02:08:41.079 --> 02:08:43.000 going to be very happy they elected Donald Trump to 2245 02:08:43.039 --> 02:08:43.239 do so. 2246 02:08:44.000 --> 02:08:46.520 Well. Indeed they did now and something I'm a little 2247 02:08:46.560 --> 02:08:53.359 disheartened by but kind of expecting is along the lines 2248 02:08:53.399 --> 02:08:56.159 of the Republicans not you know, using the power that 2249 02:08:56.239 --> 02:08:58.880 the voters have given them by giving them a majority. 2250 02:08:58.960 --> 02:09:00.920 They gave We got the Exacts, kid, we got the House, 2251 02:09:01.000 --> 02:09:03.439 got the Senate. Fine, it's time to get something done. 2252 02:09:03.840 --> 02:09:05.640 I saw an op ed piece just the other day 2253 02:09:05.760 --> 02:09:09.399 on the Inflation Reduction Act, the Green New Deal, and 2254 02:09:09.479 --> 02:09:12.079 you got all these Republican states that are giving getting 2255 02:09:12.159 --> 02:09:15.239 a lot of green money to keep carbon out of 2256 02:09:15.279 --> 02:09:17.920 the environment, even though it's a naturally occurring plant food, 2257 02:09:18.840 --> 02:09:21.640 and they're going, well, WHOA, Well, maybe not so fast. 2258 02:09:21.720 --> 02:09:23.640 I don't know that we're gonna backpedal and completely get 2259 02:09:23.720 --> 02:09:26.239 rid of the Inflation Reduction Act because he Hey, look 2260 02:09:26.279 --> 02:09:28.640 I'm in Nebraska, and you know, we get a lot 2261 02:09:28.680 --> 02:09:31.359 of money in corn subsidies, so we can burn food 2262 02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:33.680 in our gas tank and it would really hurt our 2263 02:09:33.800 --> 02:09:36.079 farmers if we take away that, and we're gonna make 2264 02:09:36.079 --> 02:09:38.760 a whole lot of money on carbon capture. It's all 2265 02:09:38.840 --> 02:09:42.199 a fiction. It's created out a whole cloth for through legislation, 2266 02:09:42.359 --> 02:09:46.319 has no binding a connection with reality. And yet I'm 2267 02:09:46.399 --> 02:09:48.479 worried the Republicans are going to be defending this stuff 2268 02:09:48.600 --> 02:09:50.399 just because, well, it's in their backyard. 2269 02:09:52.439 --> 02:09:57.399 Under Donald Trump's leadership, there has been a political realignment 2270 02:09:57.439 --> 02:10:01.279 occurring in this country, and that political realignment has not 2271 02:10:01.479 --> 02:10:04.199 yet been completed. The next four years, hopefully we can 2272 02:10:04.680 --> 02:10:07.760 get a little bit further. But the reason why Republicans 2273 02:10:07.800 --> 02:10:10.000 are so weak is because we have a lot of 2274 02:10:10.199 --> 02:10:13.680 Republicans who are actually just establishment Democrats who vote with 2275 02:10:13.720 --> 02:10:17.960 the Democrats, who want everything that the Democrats want, and 2276 02:10:18.239 --> 02:10:21.359 who go to cocktail parties and you know, drink the 2277 02:10:21.399 --> 02:10:25.520 same drinks and cheers each other when they get their 2278 02:10:25.640 --> 02:10:26.479 huge paydays. 2279 02:10:27.039 --> 02:10:27.359 And so. 2280 02:10:29.119 --> 02:10:29.600 I think. 2281 02:10:31.199 --> 02:10:39.399 The continuing, the continuing cleaving of these essentially establishment Democrats 2282 02:10:39.680 --> 02:10:42.640 from Congress will make a difference over. 2283 02:10:42.560 --> 02:10:43.159 The long haul. 2284 02:10:43.680 --> 02:10:47.880 It's very difficult to make changes without a party who 2285 02:10:48.399 --> 02:10:51.600 has cohesion and right now the Republican Party is the 2286 02:10:51.680 --> 02:10:54.279 party that is the reform party, and we just have 2287 02:10:54.439 --> 02:10:59.439 some stragglers that we need to remove from office like Collins, 2288 02:10:59.560 --> 02:11:03.840 mrcau ski, McConnell. These people are snakes and they're holding 2289 02:11:03.920 --> 02:11:05.079 the Republican Party. 2290 02:11:04.920 --> 02:11:09.079 Back words that certainly resonate with my listening audience. Now 2291 02:11:09.279 --> 02:11:13.119 before I would like you to either support my enthusiasm 2292 02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:16.720 Wendel or burst the bubble of my enthusiasts, or perhaps 2293 02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:21.199 somewhere in between. I love the idea of this DOE 2294 02:11:21.399 --> 02:11:24.399 Department of Government efficiency. It's not part of government. It's 2295 02:11:24.479 --> 02:11:27.920 like two brilliant guys sitting in a room just going 2296 02:11:28.039 --> 02:11:31.319 through line by line the ridiculous spending in all areas 2297 02:11:31.359 --> 02:11:34.720 of government and cutting them and giving these recommendations to Congress, 2298 02:11:34.760 --> 02:11:37.840 who can then act on them. Vv A Grahma swimming 2299 02:11:37.960 --> 02:11:40.520 and of course Elon Musk. Neither of them need the 2300 02:11:40.680 --> 02:11:43.640 money that might come with a paying position. They are 2301 02:11:43.840 --> 02:11:46.760 brilliant at business and they've been down this road before 2302 02:11:46.840 --> 02:11:48.840 in terms of the challenges of businesses and making a 2303 02:11:48.920 --> 02:11:52.840 profitable entity. Do you think they can actually bring about 2304 02:11:52.960 --> 02:11:55.960 effective change and cut the size and scope of government 2305 02:11:56.159 --> 02:11:58.000 or am I smoking something? 2306 02:12:00.079 --> 02:12:02.800 Were going to give them an opportunity. I don't see 2307 02:12:02.840 --> 02:12:05.479 why they could not follow through on it unless they're 2308 02:12:05.520 --> 02:12:07.840 just lying to us. But the good news is that 2309 02:12:08.800 --> 02:12:12.680 Donald Trump has nominated a man named Russe Vote to 2310 02:12:12.800 --> 02:12:16.239 be OMB director. That's the Office of Management and Budget. 2311 02:12:16.680 --> 02:12:20.039 And the Office of Management and Budget is a significant 2312 02:12:20.079 --> 02:12:26.680 department because it oversees in the implementation of Trump's vision 2313 02:12:26.760 --> 02:12:35.119 across the executive branch through acting funding that different agencies request. 2314 02:12:35.319 --> 02:12:39.600 And so my understanding is that Vivic and Musk are 2315 02:12:39.680 --> 02:12:43.600 going to be working with Vote on how to actually 2316 02:12:43.800 --> 02:12:46.840 acts this waste. And Vote was in there before as 2317 02:12:46.960 --> 02:12:50.840 acting O and B director during Trump's first administration and 2318 02:12:50.920 --> 02:12:53.479 if you remember when Trump said okay, no more funding 2319 02:12:53.560 --> 02:12:56.479 for Ukraine and they tried to impeach Donald Trump over 2320 02:12:56.520 --> 02:12:59.000 at RUSS Vote was at the nucleus of that. And 2321 02:12:59.159 --> 02:13:02.279 so I think we have a strong team going into 2322 02:13:02.680 --> 02:13:05.239 going into the next four years. I will hopefully follow 2323 02:13:05.279 --> 02:13:06.640 through on their promises. 2324 02:13:06.920 --> 02:13:09.960 Well, supporting my enthusiasm to a certain degree, tempering it 2325 02:13:10.000 --> 02:13:11.840 a little bit, which is what you're well, what's hear 2326 02:13:11.880 --> 02:13:14.159 about all about Wenda?

Chuck 2358 02:14:47.359 --> 02:14:49.800 Ingram on fifty five care has seen the talk station. 2359 02:14:52.680 --> 02:14:54.600 It is a thirty to fifty five kerc DE talk 2360 02:14:54.640 --> 02:14:57.680 station Tuesdays. At this time, I mean it is time 2361 02:14:57.760 --> 02:15:00.720 for the Daniel Davis Deep dive. Retired haired Lieutenant Colonel 2362 02:15:00.760 --> 02:15:04.760 Daniel Davis providing thoughtful and insightful analysis about well feel 2363 02:15:04.840 --> 02:15:07.920 the battlefields and the various battlefields we discussed every week, 2364 02:15:08.000 --> 02:15:11.000 and today we're back to Russia, Ukraine. We'll talk a 2365 02:15:11.039 --> 02:15:13.840 little Belarus as well as Georgia. Daniel Davis. Always a 2366 02:15:13.880 --> 02:15:15.640 pleasure to have you on my program, my friend. Good 2367 02:15:15.680 --> 02:15:18.520 to see you again. Always a pleasure to be here, Brian. 2368 02:15:18.840 --> 02:15:26.439 So we have saboteurs in Russia. We've had saboteurs really 2369 02:15:26.479 --> 02:15:28.119 all over the place. There's been a lot of this 2370 02:15:28.199 --> 02:15:30.319 stuff going on for quite some time in Russia. There's 2371 02:15:30.439 --> 02:15:33.840 a growing amount of saboteurs in Europe as well. They're 2372 02:15:33.840 --> 02:15:35.279 starting to real concerned about that. 2373 02:15:36.279 --> 02:15:40.199 Honestly, it's it's warfare, and it takes all the different places, 2374 02:15:40.239 --> 02:15:43.239 from the front lines of the battle, to the diplomatic calls, 2375 02:15:43.680 --> 02:15:46.520 and to the economic in the in the various places 2376 02:15:46.520 --> 02:15:49.640 where war material are made. So this is certainly no surprise, 2377 02:15:49.840 --> 02:15:52.119 and it's just another ugly part of war. 2378 02:15:52.359 --> 02:15:52.600 It is. 2379 02:15:52.760 --> 02:15:54.680 And I try to start off normally on a more 2380 02:15:54.720 --> 02:15:58.600 intelligent basis, the springboard to enter into our conversations. But 2381 02:15:59.279 --> 02:16:02.680 I just was observing during this whole discussion we've had 2382 02:16:02.840 --> 02:16:05.079 weeks in and now years. I guess about the Russia 2383 02:16:05.199 --> 02:16:09.439 Ukraine situation. Russia typically is presented as or at least 2384 02:16:09.439 --> 02:16:12.119 appears to have sort of a unified front. It's people 2385 02:16:12.199 --> 02:16:15.000 are all behind Vladimir Putin, everybody's on his side. You know, 2386 02:16:15.039 --> 02:16:18.079 They've got the troops, they've got the the the armaments, 2387 02:16:18.119 --> 02:16:21.479 and they're making inroads into Ukraine. Ukraine's divide to Ukraine's 2388 02:16:21.479 --> 02:16:22.960 filled with a bunch of Russians who don't want to 2389 02:16:23.000 --> 02:16:24.600 be a part of Ukraine. All they're trying to do 2390 02:16:24.760 --> 02:16:26.880 is liberate. I mean, yeah, that's the fog of war. 2391 02:16:26.960 --> 02:16:29.079 We talk about it a lot, but didn't realize that 2392 02:16:29.199 --> 02:16:33.840 Putin himself was having problems domestically, which I can't say 2393 02:16:33.840 --> 02:16:36.520 that I'm disappointed about. I'm no fan of Vladimir Putin, 2394 02:16:37.000 --> 02:16:40.000 even I know he's probably gonna end up winning this 2395 02:16:40.280 --> 02:16:41.159 war with Ukraine. 2396 02:16:42.680 --> 02:16:44.520 Yeah, I mean, he is gonna end up winning it. 2397 02:16:44.600 --> 02:16:48.159 I mean, the fundamentals are really irreversible. They're so far 2398 02:16:48.280 --> 02:16:51.799 in Russia's favor, and the biggest issue is manpower. Ukraine 2399 02:16:51.920 --> 02:16:55.920 is suffering by Ukrainian reports, Western reports up to one 2400 02:16:56.000 --> 02:16:57.680 hundred thousand desertions. 2401 02:16:57.920 --> 02:17:00.600 When that number is just skyrocketing, you just can't I. 2402 02:17:00.639 --> 02:17:02.479 Fought like that I didn't have any chance to win. 2403 02:17:03.680 --> 02:17:07.079 But I'd be careful a little bit about some of 2404 02:17:07.120 --> 02:17:09.520 these reports coming out of Rush about dissent or whatnot, 2405 02:17:10.120 --> 02:17:13.760 because it's comparatively small. We'll see if it develops into anything, 2406 02:17:13.840 --> 02:17:17.159 but I honestly think it's gonna be too little, too late, 2407 02:17:17.239 --> 02:17:20.959 and it's unclear just how widespread it actually is. 2408 02:17:21.600 --> 02:17:24.879 Well it seems, and I'm not sure if the election 2409 02:17:25.000 --> 02:17:28.040 of Donald Trump had an impact on this, but I 2410 02:17:28.159 --> 02:17:32.159 hear Zelonsky now talking about maybe some sort of negotiating 2411 02:17:32.200 --> 02:17:34.840 a peace deal. I see that maybe there was a 2412 02:17:34.879 --> 02:17:38.680 ceasfire negotiating between Israel and Lebanon. I mean, is Trump 2413 02:17:38.760 --> 02:17:43.559 gonna be is Trump consequential in these seemingly like baby 2414 02:17:43.680 --> 02:17:46.079 steps toward can I I don't know if I dare 2415 02:17:46.159 --> 02:17:49.920 use the word peace in this conversation, but some sort 2416 02:17:49.959 --> 02:17:54.799 of settlement agreements or some resolution of these conflicts, well. 2417 02:17:54.719 --> 02:17:57.879 Without question, there was a major, major impact on the 2418 02:17:58.040 --> 02:18:01.399 Russia Ukraine War, or far more than anything in Israel, 2419 02:18:01.639 --> 02:18:03.000 though I'll talk about that separately. 2420 02:18:03.639 --> 02:18:05.639 The issue with the Ukraine side is. 2421 02:18:05.639 --> 02:18:09.719 That buzz Valinski, vlodimers Zelensky is doing everything he can 2422 02:18:10.040 --> 02:18:11.799 to try to avoid the Trump effect. 2423 02:18:12.040 --> 02:18:14.680 I mean, he still wants weapons, he still wants all 2424 02:18:14.760 --> 02:18:15.120 these things. 2425 02:18:15.159 --> 02:18:18.120 He's trying to get people still, even in this eleventh hour, 2426 02:18:18.200 --> 02:18:20.200 to try to give him more weapons and more ammunition 2427 02:18:20.559 --> 02:18:23.600 so he can have a better negotiating position. But then 2428 02:18:23.680 --> 02:18:26.200 when in this sky News interview you're talking about here 2429 02:18:26.239 --> 02:18:28.559 a few days back, when you listen to him. 2430 02:18:28.440 --> 02:18:30.399 He still doesn't want to give up anything. 2431 02:18:30.479 --> 02:18:33.000 He still says, well, it's illegal for me to give 2432 02:18:33.079 --> 02:18:35.440 up any territory for peace, but we're going to have 2433 02:18:35.600 --> 02:18:37.959 to for you know, to get the hot phase over. 2434 02:18:38.040 --> 02:18:40.200 But then we'll get it back later as long as 2435 02:18:40.280 --> 02:18:42.879 we have NATO. That's the reason why Russia went to 2436 02:18:42.959 --> 02:18:45.239 war in the first place. So that's a complete non starter. 2437 02:18:46.319 --> 02:18:49.600 So look, Trump is coming in and he has unequivocally 2438 02:18:49.639 --> 02:18:50.879 said he's going to end the fighting. 2439 02:18:51.079 --> 02:18:52.600 He's not going to keep supporting it. 2440 02:18:53.559 --> 02:18:57.440 So I think that Zelensky should probably recognize what's happening 2441 02:18:57.479 --> 02:18:59.799 and move into a direction that makes some sense. 2442 02:19:00.079 --> 02:19:01.920 Is the one he's going is not gonna work well. 2443 02:19:02.000 --> 02:19:04.040 And let's go back to the point you made early on, 2444 02:19:04.239 --> 02:19:07.680 and I read the same information. The desertion level in 2445 02:19:07.840 --> 02:19:12.079 the Ukrainian forces is really high. And you can have 2446 02:19:12.159 --> 02:19:14.280 all the weapons in the world laying around, but if 2447 02:19:14.280 --> 02:19:16.239 you have somebody to use them, it's not gonna do you. 2448 02:19:16.319 --> 02:19:19.639 Witsworth a good it's become some big ammo dump that 2449 02:19:20.000 --> 02:19:22.239 that computin's gonna come in and take advantage of himself 2450 02:19:22.280 --> 02:19:23.799 when he runs over the territory. 2451 02:19:24.159 --> 02:19:26.120 Well, and you know when there was another really peculiar 2452 02:19:26.200 --> 02:19:29.040 thing he said in an interviewed. So remember in the 2453 02:19:29.120 --> 02:19:31.959 context here back in May, we finally passed that sixty 2454 02:19:32.000 --> 02:19:34.760 one billion dollar deal that everybody at the time said 2455 02:19:34.879 --> 02:19:36.959 was decisive and was going to make a difference or whatever. 2456 02:19:37.120 --> 02:19:38.600 We didn't see it make any difference at all. 2457 02:19:38.920 --> 02:19:41.000 But now then that Biden is trying to get those 2458 02:19:41.040 --> 02:19:43.159 last I think eight billion dollars out the door before 2459 02:19:43.280 --> 02:19:46.280 January twentieth, you know, to just surge the zone. As 2460 02:19:46.399 --> 02:19:49.639 Jake Sullivan said in an interview, you had Zelensky saying, 2461 02:19:49.760 --> 02:19:52.520 we have ten brigades and we've been trying for a 2462 02:19:52.680 --> 02:19:55.000 year to get them outfitted, and we've only got two 2463 02:19:55.079 --> 02:19:57.600 and a half. So then the question is where did 2464 02:19:57.639 --> 02:19:59.760 all that money go and what did it Bob, Because 2465 02:19:59.799 --> 02:20:02.000 you're telling me you have seven and a half brigades 2466 02:20:02.239 --> 02:20:03.760 with no equipment. 2467 02:20:03.719 --> 02:20:06.040 And you don't have enough people, and they're deserting, et cetera. 2468 02:20:06.399 --> 02:20:08.440 Everywhere you look. This thing has just fallowed apart. 2469 02:20:08.879 --> 02:20:11.799 Well, I think most of my listening audiences aware that 2470 02:20:12.000 --> 02:20:16.399 Ukraine and not exactly the most upright country in terms of, 2471 02:20:16.680 --> 02:20:19.200 you know, lack of corruption. It has been a long 2472 02:20:19.360 --> 02:20:22.920 time problem with corruption. Goes back to you know, Biden 2473 02:20:23.040 --> 02:20:26.200 withholding a billion dollars of aid because well they had 2474 02:20:26.200 --> 02:20:29.159 a little problem there with the prosecutors in Barisima holdings. 2475 02:20:29.520 --> 02:20:34.559 Interesting connection there. So it doesn't shock me that maybe 2476 02:20:34.639 --> 02:20:36.799 some of the resources we've sent to that country have 2477 02:20:36.959 --> 02:20:39.799 gone missing. We can't even do our own accounting of 2478 02:20:39.879 --> 02:20:42.920 our own American military here with our own resources dead. 2479 02:20:42.840 --> 02:20:45.639 Well, there's true, Yeah, we can't. Even the Pentagon has 2480 02:20:45.799 --> 02:20:47.200 never passed to an audience. 2481 02:20:47.200 --> 02:20:48.920 So I don't know why we think Ukraine's going to 2482 02:20:48.959 --> 02:20:50.719 be able to but you see on the battlefield that 2483 02:20:50.799 --> 02:20:52.959 it has an impact, Yes it does. And unlessa we 2484 02:20:53.000 --> 02:20:55.280 haven't talked about the situation in Israel for a while, 2485 02:20:55.399 --> 02:20:59.479 so let's get your an update on your current position relatives. 2486 02:20:59.559 --> 02:21:02.479 I know it looks like Lebanon's might be settling down 2487 02:21:02.479 --> 02:21:05.799 a little bit, and there's always breaches of the ceasefire agreements, 2488 02:21:05.840 --> 02:21:09.280 but where are we visa the Lebanon, Israel and I 2489 02:21:09.360 --> 02:21:12.959 guess Goz as well, Yeah, there's a couple of different 2490 02:21:13.000 --> 02:21:16.159 factors in some positive, some not so positive. For Israel, 2491 02:21:17.319 --> 02:21:20.639 you got to admit and can see that the militarily 2492 02:21:21.520 --> 02:21:25.479 they have been really devastating to the entire Hezbela organization, 2493 02:21:25.639 --> 02:21:27.879 from the top all the way down to that pager 2494 02:21:27.920 --> 02:21:31.639 and walkie talkie attack. The decapitation of all the leadership 2495 02:21:31.840 --> 02:21:34.440 and then the physical incursion there has had an absolute 2496 02:21:34.559 --> 02:21:37.520 devastating effect on Hisbola and that was one of the 2497 02:21:37.559 --> 02:21:38.719 reasons why they. 2498 02:21:38.719 --> 02:21:39.760 Agreed to the ceasefire. 2499 02:21:40.239 --> 02:21:42.479 Israel agreed to the ceas far because they were having 2500 02:21:42.559 --> 02:21:46.200 real problems with casualties and their reserve forces have been 2501 02:21:46.239 --> 02:21:48.680 on duty so long. I think we're into the fourteenth now, 2502 02:21:49.000 --> 02:21:52.840 heading toward the fifteenth month of overall conflict, and they 2503 02:21:52.959 --> 02:21:54.120 need a breather as well. 2504 02:21:54.879 --> 02:21:57.399 But then you also see that Iran had. 2505 02:21:57.360 --> 02:21:59.959 Been promising after the last Israeli attack that they would 2506 02:22:00.239 --> 02:22:03.040 retaliating responding kind. But now then they were the first 2507 02:22:03.120 --> 02:22:07.399 ones to get behind the ceasefire against Hezbola, so they're 2508 02:22:07.479 --> 02:22:10.440 also licking their wounds. So bossom line is it's kind 2509 02:22:10.440 --> 02:22:12.799 of put a lull on things and give people a 2510 02:22:12.920 --> 02:22:15.520 chance to breathe. But the problem is none of the 2511 02:22:15.680 --> 02:22:18.239 underlying conditions that led to war in the first place 2512 02:22:18.559 --> 02:22:20.879 or even being addressed, and you had this whole problem 2513 02:22:21.000 --> 02:22:25.920 still raging in Gaza. So you know, we're not out 2514 02:22:25.959 --> 02:22:27.520 of the woods yet, but there is at least a 2515 02:22:27.559 --> 02:22:30.920 breather on a couple of fronts. And before we part company. 2516 02:22:31.040 --> 02:22:33.559 Daniel Davison, I always enjoy these conversations. I wanna jump 2517 02:22:33.559 --> 02:22:37.319 over back to Russia. I've read reports that they're han't 2518 02:22:37.399 --> 02:22:40.200 been a problem with their currency. The ruble is not 2519 02:22:40.360 --> 02:22:44.479 doing real well. And if the backbone of your system 2520 02:22:44.520 --> 02:22:48.559 of government, obviously the ruble is collapsing, that causes you 2521 02:22:48.680 --> 02:22:51.040 real long term problems and even short term problems. Is 2522 02:22:51.079 --> 02:22:54.159 there any truth or connection with what's going on in 2523 02:22:54.319 --> 02:22:58.399 terms of the war situation, the relationship with the Iranians 2524 02:22:58.559 --> 02:23:01.280 or anybody else over there, that the ruble is causing 2525 02:23:01.399 --> 02:23:02.000 or impacting. 2526 02:23:03.000 --> 02:23:03.959 Yeah, it has. 2527 02:23:04.159 --> 02:23:05.680 It has spiked of late. 2528 02:23:06.399 --> 02:23:08.040 It also spiked in the first part of the war, 2529 02:23:08.159 --> 02:23:10.520 like really, really high, and of course that's what everybody 2530 02:23:10.600 --> 02:23:12.879 first thought. The sanctions we're going to have their crippling effect, 2531 02:23:13.559 --> 02:23:16.959 and then their you know, their institutions, their financial institutions 2532 02:23:17.000 --> 02:23:19.479 took action at the government level and brought it back. 2533 02:23:19.399 --> 02:23:22.280 Down to a stable area. Now it's seeing another. 2534 02:23:22.040 --> 02:23:24.959 Spiked It's a little bit surprising in that it's coming, 2535 02:23:25.200 --> 02:23:27.920 you know, a month or so after month and a 2536 02:23:27.959 --> 02:23:31.159 half now after the Bricks meeting, which was to solidify 2537 02:23:31.479 --> 02:23:34.680 their economic base or so. It's it's still a little 2538 02:23:34.760 --> 02:23:36.399 early to see if this is a blip or if 2539 02:23:36.440 --> 02:23:38.879 it's going to be an indication of something more serious, 2540 02:23:38.879 --> 02:23:40.920 because if it keeps going in that direction, it will 2541 02:23:41.000 --> 02:23:44.520 cause ripple effects across their entire economy. But of course 2542 02:23:44.559 --> 02:23:46.239 they're going to do whatever they can to try and 2543 02:23:46.319 --> 02:23:48.239 get that back under control. We'll have to wait and 2544 02:23:48.280 --> 02:23:50.559 see whether they succeed or whether this is just an 2545 02:23:50.600 --> 02:23:52.319 indicator of more trouble to come. 2546 02:23:52.760 --> 02:23:55.319 Well, our popcorn will stay out in the meantime. I'll 2547 02:23:55.319 --> 02:23:57.879 look forward to another discussion next Tuesday, Deep Die with 2548 02:23:58.040 --> 02:23:59.920 Daniel Davis.
