Ken Blackwell 16 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.079 is going to return to the program at six point 17 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.759 thirty and get his thoughts on Trump's first few days. 18 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.319 Lots of activity and lots of talk about. Of course, 19 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.439 on immigration, things are really lighting up. Lots of criminals 20 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.239 being arrested and some absolutely heinous and horrific crimes many 21 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.480 of these illegal immigrants have committed, and certainly justifying rounding 22 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.840 at least them up. They all are quality, are they 23 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.480 all subject to deportation, all people who have entered illegally, 24 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.319 and yes they're entitled to a hearing in many cases 25 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.599 not so much anymore. We'll talk about that as well. 26 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.560 But in the final analysis, you've got child rapists out there. 27 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:39.400 I'm not kidding you. 28 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.439 I just saw a list of the criminals that they 29 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.280 rounded up north of three hundred just yesterday, and among 30 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.719 them multitudes, I mean, just all kinds of people who 31 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.239 have committed sexual crimes against children. And yet there are 32 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.719 still Democrats out there in these blue cities fighting it 33 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.239 and saying they're not going to cooperate with ice that 34 00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.079 may get them in trouble. We'll talk about that as 35 00:01:59.079 --> 00:01:59.719 well this morning. 36 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:00.959 Anyway. 37 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.560 Dave Williams Taxpayer Protection Alliance on the heels of Ken 38 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.840 Blackwell is seven five. Trump leaving the World Health Organization yay. 39 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.800 And the Paris Accords yay. Trump's big first day. And 40 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.280 the need to extend the Trump tax cuts as soon 41 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.680 as possible. Yeah, it's going to cause economic chaos of 42 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.159 those things don't get renewed or extended. Americans for Prosperities 43 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.919 Donovan and Eil on Ohio Energy Policy doing a partnership 44 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.759 with the Buckeye Institute, good efforts on the behalf of 45 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.520 Americans for prosperity. We get a rundown from Donovan at 46 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.120 seven thirty, and of course fast forward to eight thirty. 47 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.919 Love talking to Jay Raytle. If I heard media aviation 48 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.919 expert got airlines rolling out seats that can recline without 49 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.000 reducing space for the person behind it. Oh, what a 50 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.599 welcome change that'll be. I don't know if you've flown 51 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.199 very much, but it's almost as soon as the plane 52 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.560 takes off, that seat in front he ends up getting reclined. 53 00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:58.199 Yeah, and it. 54 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.199 Takes away from the knee space. Resident Trump decides to 55 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.960 replace the head of the TSA lask Airline, says that 56 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.719 thanks to their employees in a big way, United Delta 57 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.960 and Boeing donated to the Trump inauguralal fun how about 58 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.039 that crew suspended after landing on the wrong runway. 59 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:15.599 Whoops? 60 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.039 And then, of course we always end up with hub delays, 61 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.680 and we saw massive, massive numbers of flights canceled because 62 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.280 of the what they're calling blizzard that's kind of went 63 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.719 through Texas and the Southern States the other day. Still 64 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.199 struggling with cold temperatures down there and they have no 65 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.439 snow equipment. Someone reported on what's going on in Houston. 66 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.039 You know they don't have anything. They've got to import 67 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.840 or ship down some snowplowing equipment from Dallas. I guess 68 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:47.080 gets snow on a more frequent basis than Houston. Hey, 69 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.360 Houston probably one of the hottest cities I've ever been to. 70 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:50.960 We had a client in Houston. We used to have 71 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.840 to go there fairly regularly. You don't want to be 72 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.800 in Houston in the middle of summer, But here we are, 73 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:58.000 blizzard in Houston. 74 00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.759 Is it global warming anymore? 75 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.719 We have to deal with these things because global warming, 76 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.759 and they don't call it anymore. They call it climate change, 77 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.879 which conveniently allows everybody in the green movement to call 78 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:17.680 every weather event climate change. Okay, and I just wanted 79 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.319 to bring this up. I'm troubled by this. 80 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.639 This add this to the list. 81 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:36.639 Every Senate Democrat voted yesterday afternoon against invoking cloture on 82 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.560 legislation requiring the babies who survived botched abortions receive medical care. 83 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.399 You have to pass cloture to get the bill advanced, 84 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:45.800 to have an actual vote on the Senate for it. 85 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.600 They wouldn't even advance it, so they had, but this 86 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.000 obviously reflects the position of the Democrats, which I think 87 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.600 is absolutely unsupportable. And I don't care where you are 88 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.920 on abortion. It doesn't matter. The baby survived the botched abortion. 89 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.279 The baby has been born, it's still alive. And we've 90 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.199 heard stories about this, and I feel fairly confident this 91 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.040 does not happen very often. I don't know, but there 92 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.800 have been widely circulated and reported stories about this type 93 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.199 of thing happening. It was the Born Alive Abortion Survivors 94 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.800 Protection Act James Langford, Republican from Oklahoma introduced. It requires 95 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.399 that healthcare practitioners provide quote same degree of professional skill, 96 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.079 care and diligence close quote for a child surviving a 97 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.040 botched abortion as they would for a child during a 98 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:32.959 routine childbirth. 99 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.680 Senate fifty two to forty. 100 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.319 Seven against advancing, and therefore found to overcome the sixty 101 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:45.680 vote filibuster threshold. Langford said, yesterday, my Democratic colleague has 102 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.160 been an hour on the floor saying that a child 103 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.519 who survives a botch abortion should die. I disagree. This 104 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.879 is not just an academic issue, he said, it's real. 105 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.519 It's in fantaside in fantaside is already illegal, but it 106 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.120 is still allowed. Is a tiny little loophole that if 107 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.079 an abortion is botched, everyone can just back away and 108 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.399 watch the child die. They do not have to give 109 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.120 that child medical care. Set of Majority leader John Thune 110 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.759 said the Democrats would vote against that. 111 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:13.279 He predicted. 112 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.199 He said, they will vote against protecting for a living, 113 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.720 breathing newborn baby because the child's been born alive after 114 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.199 an attempt at abortion. They're afraid if they recognize the 115 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.279 humanity of a living, breathing born baby in an abortion clinic, 116 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.079 they might end up pointing to the humanity of the 117 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.560 unborn baby in the abortion clinic. Now, I don't think 118 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.160 they would. They so profoundly wed to the idea that 119 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.920 abortion is a good, great thing that no, I don't 120 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.759 know that they would necessarily do that. They're immune to 121 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:47.720 the challenges of the argument over humanity. Chuckie Schumer called 122 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:52.360 the Born Alive Bill as pernicious as they come. In 123 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:58.079 his words, it attacks women's healthcare. You know, I read 124 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.959 those words when I'm thinking of the live baby there, 125 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:07.439 separate from mom living outside the womb. It attacks women's 126 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.680 healthcare using false narratives and outright fear mongering and adds 127 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.639 more legal risks for doctors on something that's already illegal. Well, 128 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.839 apparently it's not illegal to let the baby just pass 129 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.160 on without any medical assistance. Anyway, This bill passed the 130 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.040 House last last year or twenty twenty three, rather only 131 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.720 one Democrat voted for in the House. 132 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.480 But the point on this now just put in a sense. 133 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.160 Let's say the woman getting any abortion in giving birth 134 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:43.079 to a live baby because the abortion wasn't successful, let's 135 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:48.160 say she was an illegal immigrant. Doesn't have to be 136 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.279 that scenario. I'm just piling on a little bit by 137 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.639 making it this weird phenomenon. The Democrats are arguing, yes profoundly, 138 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.399 and I don't know that they I think they have 139 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.279 the better side of the argument. If you're born in 140 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.959 the United States, you are a US citizen. The anchor 141 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:09.720 baby argument, right, that would be a US citizen live, yes, breathing, yes, 142 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.959 struggling medically. Of course, we're talking about a situation where 143 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:17.399 there was a boxed abortion. But moving away from that scenario, 144 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:22.160 any baby born in the United States is subject to 145 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:29.040 the rights under the Constitution. A human being is laying there. 146 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:31.839 The mere fact that they're finally out of of the womb, 147 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.399 so you get away from these arguments about women's healthcare, 148 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.120 and you know, we're all I think most of my 149 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.039 listening audience is probably against late term abortions, and me 150 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.519 profoundly so because you know, as I mentioned many times, 151 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.879 both of my children were born at eight months, done 152 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:53.879 and over with the uh the process. I wore out both. 153 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.799 Of them, fully. 154 00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:00.440 Cooked, very healthy, eight months Democrats, are you that my 155 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.600 children could have been aborted if my wife wanted to 156 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.759 go get an abortion. But moving away from that ugly, 157 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.240 ugly reality, you know, once someone's born, they are subject 158 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.679 to and given the rights granted by our constitution. They 159 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:19.399 are protected and titled to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. 160 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.200 And I've made this argument before. If there was a 161 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:27.840 lawyer standing there and they didn't provide any medical attention 162 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:32.360 or care and allowed that child to die, I think 163 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.360 the lawyer could go in representing the interest of the 164 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.840 baby in court and make a good argument to the court, 165 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.399 which would probably be granted emotion to well, provide them 166 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.320 medical care. You can't just let them die. And then 167 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:52.600 there's the hippocratic oath. Yes, you're a doctor providing abortion 168 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.720 services for women. But you're still a doctor. Do no 169 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.399 harm and for this subject came up. Yes, stay with 170 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.360 doctor James Thorpe, just freaky stuff. In his book Sacrificed 171 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.679 how the deadliest vaccine in history targeted the most vulnerable. 172 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.159 He said, every doctor who insisted on forcing you to 173 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.320 take a COVID nineteen shot to the exclusion of all 174 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.879 other avenues, and all those who bent to the knee 175 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.240 of the corporate money and the government money that was 176 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.960 flowing into their lap to support and push the COVID 177 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.360 nineteen vaccine in spite of the fact that he documented, 178 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.919 they knew how much damage it would do. 179 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.679 And that's the point. Do no harm. 180 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:34.120 By providing these vaccines the most notably pregnant women, they 181 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:40.799 did harm and knowingly did harm, given the just overwhelming 182 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.759 evidence that the COVID nineteen vaccine was causing women significant 183 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:49.399 problems and causing the fetuses significant problems, including well miscarriages. 184 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.360 Hippocratic oath and dollars do not negate hipocratic oath, he 185 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:56.960 pointed out. 186 00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:58.720 So, I mean. 187 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.679 It's just another illustration I think of the of the 188 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.759 craziness and the lack of humanity that most of the 189 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.639 folks on the left just sort of embrace and the 190 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.679 idea that you know, humans are just like festering cockroaches 191 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.919 killing the planet. Five sixteen fifty five KRC Detalk Station. 192 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.440 Feel free to chime in if you care to. Would 193 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.039 love to hear from you. Five one, three, seven four 194 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.600 nine fifty five hundred eight hundred two three talk. I 195 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.519 will be right back after these brief words. 196 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.879 This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station. 197 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:36.600 The recent wildfires that revage five nineteen Friday Eve and 198 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:42.240 a happy one. Also a fifty five KRC dot com 199 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.840 conversation with Judejennena Paulatona on TikTok freedom of speech, and 200 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.480 we talked about anchor babies and the big picture with 201 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.200 Jack Atherton about the expanding number of young people who 202 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.240 are shifting over to the conservative side of the Ledger. 203 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:55.919 Welcome news. 204 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.120 That not welcome news. They're still getting hit in California. 205 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.600 We get another fire that are it yesterday? The Hughes 206 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.799 fire great reportedly erupted yesterday, prompting the evacuation orders of 207 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:12.159 tens of thousands of people. Hughes fire, reported yesterday morning, 208 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:17.600 located in the unincorporated community of Kestake in northwestern Los 209 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:22.000 Angeles County. As of eleven PM, the fire was only 210 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.399 fourteen percent contained and had already burned over ten thousand 211 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.799 acres and of course reports of structures being burned what 212 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.879 you'd expect. It says zero structures damaged or destroyed. Four 213 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.519 thousand fire personnel have been assigned to that particular fire man. 214 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.679 I'm telling you they must have imported so many firefighters 215 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.960 out in California. Court to Los Angeles County Fire Department 216 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.679 Chief Anthony Maroney said, the weather is what is prominantly 217 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.240 driving this fire and it's spread right now. Red flag 218 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.679 warning remains ineffected until ten am Friday. Remains a difficult 219 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.000 fire to contain, although we are getting the upper hand. 220 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.159 Fifty thousand people reportedly affected either by an evacuation order warnings. 221 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.679 According to the La County Sheriff, Robert Luna, parts of 222 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:10.960 I five were closed that did reopen last night. The 223 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.559 urged residents in the area to leave immediately according to 224 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.279 cowfire Alert immediate threat to life. This is a lawful 225 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.360 order to leave now. The area is lawfully closed to 226 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:24.919 public access. That's just amazing to me. They just cannot 227 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.480 catch a break. Out there and going back to one 228 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.279 of the reasons they can't catch a break. We've talked 229 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.200 about this so many times since all the details have 230 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:36.279 been revealed. They had assigned and allocated money and projects 231 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.840 and created a list of projects to be done to 232 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.159 clear out all the brush and all the flammable materials, 233 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.600 you know, this forestry management type of stuff, which they 234 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.440 had neglected for years and years. This of course is 235 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.480 independent of having sufficient water to put fires out when 236 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.840 they start. But every time they had tried to move forward, 237 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.799 as I've read the facts and information widely reported, when 238 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.240 they started to engage in one of these you know, 239 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:04.759 brush cleaning projects, environmentalists would file lawsuits based upon whatever 240 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.720 environmental regulation have gotten place in California. This would invariably 241 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:11.000 hold things up for a long period of time or 242 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.399 ultimately result in the cancelation of these efforts to prevent 243 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.440 the fire from engulfing. Like Los Angeles, which it's happening now, 244 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:25.559 environmental groups standing in the way of necessary work. Oh, 245 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.039 let's pivot over here. City of Cincinnati along those lines. 246 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.960 According to a local nonprofit group that has raised objections 247 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.600 to the Brent Spence Bridge project, they claim that the 248 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.679 project the Brent Spreads Bridge a bridge quarter project will 249 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.000 pollute the Ohio River and put more than a dozen 250 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:50.559 plants and animals considered endangered or threatened at risk greater 251 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:53.919 since a Coalition for Transit and Sustainable Development once the 252 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:58.879 Ohio epaight is shut down the project by denying the 253 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.879 water quality surve which I guess is necessary in order 254 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:02.480 to move forward. 255 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:04.919 According to the group and its. 256 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.759 Press release, the agency should not allow degradation of a 257 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.679 vital source of water in favor of a highway expansion. 258 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.720 The Ohio River already faces signivican environmental challenges as this 259 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.600 project would add, and this project would add to those burdens, 260 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.480 the coalition said. Backed by Davout Good Foundation of Covington 261 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:29.240 aka Sustainable City, the group apparently wants supporters to ask 262 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.759 the Ohio EPA to deny the water a permit via petition. 263 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.000 The Ohio Department of Transportation to the bridge project is 264 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:42.000 complying with all applicable legal requirements while delivering a project 265 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.480 that will bring safer, less congested travel and job opportunities 266 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.799 to the region, which I suppose it. Well, they've got 267 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.360 to build a bridge. There's job opportunities right there. And 268 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.799 the flow of commerce must continue. It's one of the 269 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.039 most valuable highways. From the entire length of it, I 270 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.919 think is five one percent of our nation's economy goes 271 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.200 up and down the highway there, and of course this 272 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:19.480 will make it more efficient. I a point out the 273 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.559 construction is going to be taking out about ninety acres 274 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.639 of forests, seventy four Kentucky, sixteen in Ohio, narrow strips 275 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.000 of land running along the sides of seventy one and 276 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.919 seventy five two acres of streams, and two point four 277 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.039 acres of wetland. That's what the coalition stated in their documents, 278 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.279 and they claim we'll see increased pollution caused by additional 279 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:44.519 traffic after the construction is completed. In terms of species, 280 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.759 they claim sixteen species could be potentially harmed by the 281 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:56.159 Brent Spence Bridge Bridge project. Seven endangered muscles, including the washboard, 282 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.480 elephant ear monkey face, wardy back butterfly, ebony shell and 283 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.079 Ohio pig tooe muscles. Four endangered bats, the Indiana bat, 284 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.880 northern long eared bat, gray bat, little brown bat, and 285 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:14.680 the track colored bat, which is not yet endangered but 286 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.519 it's proposed to be endangered. I guess its endangered status 287 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.359 is pending. Two fish, the Channel darter and River darter, 288 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.799 tiny ones one to three inches long. They are one 289 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.359 bird they claim is threatened, the black crowned night heron, 290 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.799 and finally the Virginia malloy perennial herb with white flowers 291 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.119 that grows up to ten feet tall listed as potentially threatened. 292 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:40.079 Channel. 293 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.240 In my mind, Joe Strecker, sometimes I think you're clairvoyant. Ohio, 294 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.799 for example, will have to relocate muscles no more than 295 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.000 a year before the construction starts. Muscles should be moved 296 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.440 between May and October. First, kept in water except when 297 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.839 cataloged four quote no longer than one minute at a time. 298 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.200 Close quote, and we've located upstream to similar or better 299 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.160 habitats according to how Department Natural Resource Muscle Survey protocol. 300 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.279 We've got one of those. 301 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.240 Additionally, Kentucky will contribute to its slate of Imperiled Bat 302 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.400 Conservation Fund, which I wrote loll after because you know, 303 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.599 throwing money into a fund, I presume the fund money 304 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:26.559 is used to get I hope result in bat conservation. 305 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.799 But if you're going to go ahead and move forward 306 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.799 with the project and endangerous bats putting money into something 307 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:35.000 doesn't negate the reality of that. It's like carbon offs, 308 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.680 it's carbon credits. You have to pay money to emit carbon. 309 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.319 That doesn't stop the carbon from being miitted. It just 310 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:42.480 makes your business more or less profitable. 311 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:43.640 Anyway. 312 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:46.960 Don't know if this argument has any merit, but like 313 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.039 the environmental laws stood in the way of getting the 314 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.640 brush and all the flammable material cleaned up, among other blocks, 315 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:59.279 we now have environmentalists coming in to stop a much needed, 316 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:05.319 long long awaited for bridge reconstruction project or bridge construction project, 317 00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.799 one that even back to the Obama administration who campaigned 318 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.440 in front of the Brent Spn's bridge promising well these 319 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:16.799 construction dollars seems to be bipartisan support for the bridge project. 320 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.240 Five twenty seven fifty five KR see the talk stations 321 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.920 stick around. Local stories coming up are alternatively phone calls. 322 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:23.359 Either way we go, I'll. 323 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.400 Be right back fifty five KRC. 324 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.480 Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me at former interview. 325 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.720 It's five thirty year fifty five car CD talk station. 326 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.720 Happy Friday Eve. Remember about your over at the fifty 327 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.359 five KRC dot com. Checking out doctor James Thorpe's podcast 328 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.960 and getting his book Sacrifice. In addition to the other 329 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.359 things there, get your iHeart media app. It's easy to 330 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.039 stream the audio wherever it happened to be. And listening 331 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.400 to podcast. You can listen to all the Iheard media content. 332 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.640 It's like lots and lots and lots of it. Plus 333 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.160 it's good for the show. Trust me on that. Good 334 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.400 for Joe Streker two. Remember we want to do a 335 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.759 podcast called Just Strecker. He's the podcast guy. People who 336 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.359 are expressing some concerns, I don't think they're legitimate. Over 337 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.920 Trump's executive order with regarding the infrastructure projects. Of course, 338 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.119 the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Biden signed in a 339 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.839 law November twenty twenty one provided funding for certain infrastructure projects, 340 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.720 including well more than one point five billion for the 341 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.640 Brent Spn's Bridge Corridor project that was earmark for Ohio 342 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:31.079 and Kentucky. So one of the executive orders his son 343 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.440 would repeal implementation of the BIPART as an infrastructure law, 344 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:36.240 or at least some of the projects under it, and 345 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.880 there was a clarification issued. White House issued a clarification 346 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.240 saying that President's action requires agencies to immediately positives person 347 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:47.640 one of funds appropriated under that infrastructure law, but this 348 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.279 only applies to funds supporting programs, projects or activities associated with. 349 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.640 The Green New Deal government. 350 00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.400 Wyane asked about this, and everybody needs to relax. I mean, 351 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.480 this bridge can instruction of the whole planning for it 352 00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:03.599 obviously takes a lot longer than we wanted it to. 353 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.079 So it's not going to be built overnight. 354 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:05.880 We know that. 355 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:09.079 But there's nothing that the White House has done today 356 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.160 that is going to slow down what we see as 357 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.039 far as the progress with the bridge. No, but the 358 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:21.039 environmentalist might Andy Bischer, speaking with Fox nineteen nineteen, said that, well, 359 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:23.400 he does have concerns about the executive order. He's not 360 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.720 concerned about the well the project, the funds for the project. 361 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.119 He said. 362 00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:30.640 President Trump previously promised to build a companion bridge, and 363 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.039 now he has a chance to keep his commitment. Yeah, 364 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.119 I don't think that that order encompassed the Brents Men's 365 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:43.119 bridge project. Well, let's go over and see what Dave's got. 366 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:44.960 I got Dave on the line. Hey, Dave, thanks for 367 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.680 calling this morning. Happy Friday eve to you. 368 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:49.640 Hey, Happy Friday eight. 369 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.079 Thanks. I was listening to Levin. 370 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.279 Last night and we all know he. 371 00:21:55.319 --> 00:22:00.720 Deserves our respect because he's definitely put in his time, 372 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.960 all the books, all the knowledge, and he disagrees with 373 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:11.720 our judge about the jurisdiction all persons under the jurisdiction. 374 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:13.839 Oh argument the judge made. 375 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:16.680 Yeah, I've seen both sides of the argument, and I okay, 376 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:25.079 So where do you fall. I'm not sure how. I'm 377 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.559 not sure. I think that both sides make a good argument, 378 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.400 and it's you know, you can put one against the other, 379 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.359 and it's one of those fifty to fifty things. Well 380 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.119 you make sense, and well you make sense. I think 381 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.519 it's it's foolish to allow the mere fact that you're 382 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:41.559 here in this country and give birth to a baby. 383 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:44.319 I don't think personally that should qualify you for citizenship. 384 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:46.960 But the way the law is written, or rather the 385 00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:49.759 Constitution is written, the argument can be made for that 386 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.599 because you know, as the judge pointed out, I am 387 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.599 subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Here I sit, 388 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.680 and if I commit crimes, you know I'm going to 389 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:00.559 be prosecuted. Same thing goes for a foreigner foreigner here, 390 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.000 an illegal immigrant, a legal immigrant, and with the exception 391 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.039 of as he pointed out people who have diplomatic community, 392 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.240 they're not subject to the laws of the United States. 393 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.759 That's his point about giving birth in an embassy. Now 394 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.279 I didn't get the chance to ask him if he 395 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.480 gave birth to the baby in a hospital, not in 396 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.000 the embassy, if that baby would have a birthright citizenship 397 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.039 if they were a child of a diplomat. But moving 398 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.759 away from the diplomatic part, everyone who's in the country 399 00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:26.759 is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of 400 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.920 America and the laws local laws, county law, you know, 401 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:34.359 state laws, federal laws. So that's where that argument comes from. 402 00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:36.160 And I think that makes sense. But I think it's 403 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.680 a stupid policy because of this whole anchor baby concept 404 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.640 and the fact that people will come into our country 405 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:44.559 merely for the purpose of having a baby, so they 406 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.559 enjoy the US citizenship right and everything goes with it, 407 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:50.440 but don't have any connection with our country at all. 408 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:55.640 So I don't have they come here, have a baby 409 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.839 and leaf exactly. 410 00:23:58.680 --> 00:23:59.000 I know. 411 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:03.000 You see, that's where where reality runs headlong into the 412 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.319 way the language is written. You know, I was having 413 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.799 a conversation with somebody about this yesterday. You know, wouldn't 414 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:10.960 it be great if you could go back and whisper 415 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.400 into the founding Father's ear as they were writing the Constitution, 416 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:17.319 something like, hey, you know, ins far as that's second 417 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:20.799 Amendment is concerned, don't put a well regulated militia in there, 418 00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:22.960 Just say the right to keep him bare arms shall 419 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.599 not be in fringe. You'll save us a lot of 420 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:27.519 headache down the road. And ins far as this you know, 421 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.039 citizenship thing is concerned, you know, subject to the laws 422 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.240 of the United States. Once you put provide a little 423 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.279 bit more clarity on what you mean on that, or 424 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.680 don't put those in there, it's you know, we're left 425 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.440 with what they gave us, which is a brilliant, beautiful, 426 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:43.319 wonderful document that has allowed us to live, thrive, and 427 00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:46.000 survive for a two hundred and fifty years. But here's 428 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.599 where you end up with some confusion because it isn't 429 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.160 clearly defined or stated. That's what we have courts for, 430 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.200 and perhaps this will end up in courts, you know 431 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.759 it will. He's signed an executive order taking saying there 432 00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:02.440 is no birthright citizenship. Someone's go sue maybe the first 433 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:05.079 illegal immigrant who gives birth, you know, during this week 434 00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.039 five thirty five fifty five care see the talk station. 435 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:10.119 Thanks for the call, Dave, so I can more definitively 436 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:13.079 explain it.

An Australian 498 00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:53.119 cruise companies sent a parade of workers marching through a 499 00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.920 ship dressed in pointy white hoods and I'm looking at 500 00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:58.759 a picture of it and yes, it is reminiscent of 501 00:28:58.759 --> 00:28:59.920 the Ku Klux Klan. 502 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.279 Do what the hell? 503 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:05.240 Footage of this stunt shows eight p and O cruise 504 00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:09.480 cleaners walking by a pool on the ship's desk while 505 00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:14.000 dressed in the face covering hoods along with all white outfits. 506 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.160 Happened in December. 507 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.680 What the hell? 508 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.640 One outrage passenger posting a video on Facebook? Is this 509 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:28.599 appropriate for twenty twenty four? No, it was never appropriated, 510 00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:29.960 and the footage of one in the foreground of the 511 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.920 video can be seen eyeing the clan like spectacle with 512 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.880 an exasperated facial expression. We were like, are we seeing 513 00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:40.279 this correctly? It was so bizarre, said one passenger from Melbourne, Australia. 514 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:45.880 She's like, she said, what the hell? She asked company 515 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.200 for an explanation. Cruise company said the workers were dressed 516 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.400 as are you ready for this? Upside down snow cones? 517 00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.559 During the Christmas theme event on the Pacific Exployer voyage 518 00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:02.839 from Melbourne to Hobart.

They see it 528 00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:41.960 all the time and would immediately get that those clan 529 00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:46.000 looking folks were intended to be viewed as upside down 530 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:57.839 snow cones. Whatever, Thank you, Liam. Nicole Paulino of Gathersburg 531 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:04.039 in Maryland spoke of her anguish after she was mistakenly 532 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.880 declared dead.

Officials informed her she could not renew her 540 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:35.240 driver's license before she received a letter from the US 541 00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:40.400 Internal Revenue Service describing her as a deceased taxpayer. Health 542 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:43.039 insurance for the mother and three children also canceled, prompting 543 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:44.920 a stream of medical bills and leaving her unable to 544 00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.279 get the inhaler she needs for asthma. She said, this 545 00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:50.839 really really messes up my life. It has affected me 546 00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:53.200 a lot, affected my health, my mental health. Then she 547 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:55.160 got a call from the Social Security office, who told 548 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:56.599 her the mistake was the result. 549 00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:59.160 Are you ready of a typo? 550 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:01.200 I'm not. 551 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:04.640 According to the representative, the funeral home tried to a 552 00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.759 funeral home, tried to report someone else dead, but got 553 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.039 a digit wrong in the Social Security number, submitting Paulino's number, 554 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.000 and said soca's security administration, speaking the same news let, 555 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.680 said its records were highly accurate. In less than point 556 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:19.599 three to three percent of the more than three million 557 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:24.319 death reports they receive anually were later corrected, so suggisting 558 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:30.440 around ten thousand reports were wrong each year.

Of course, 580 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:42.920 it being Thursday, I heard mediaviationsh for Jay rayleiff On 581 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:44.920 today thirty got a bunch of talking about. I saw 582 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:48.200 a Facebook bust at four inches of snow down at 583 00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:49.119 his Savannah house. 584 00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:50.119 Do you see that? 585 00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:56.279 Joe broke a record from like the late eighteen hundreds 586 00:33:56.319 --> 00:34:02.400 or something. See we moved down here for mild temperatures. Anyway, 587 00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:07.200 A couple in Petersburg, Kentucky, where they got snow, built 588 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:12.920 a nine foot snowman and didn't expect it to attract vandals. 589 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.800 It's a matter of instant karma here. Codyltz said his 590 00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:21.920 fiance was visiting him in Kentucky and was excited because, well, 591 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:26.639 it's the biggest snowfall she's ever seen. His fiance, Laura 592 00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:29.519 from Mississippi, some of the snowfall during her weekend trip 593 00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:31.480 that both the two of them celebrated. We had a 594 00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:34.760 full weekend of sledding and snowball fights and making most 595 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.800 of the winter Wonderland's speaking with CBS News, of course, 596 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.000 that included building a snowman, rather unorthodox way to build 597 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.960 a snowman. They used a massive tree stump in the 598 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.159 front yard as the base for the snowman. They got finished, 599 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:53.079 making him as nearly ten feet tall. I had a 600 00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:57.840 massive top hat. Of course everyone could see it. What said, 601 00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.599 everyone driving by loved him, and way and honk to 602 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.119 express their light. However, evidently not everyone was a fan. 603 00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.400 I arrived home to find a set of tire tracks 604 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:11.039 across my yard ending abruptly at the base of the snowman. 605 00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:14.480 He realized at that point someone tried to drive over 606 00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.360 the snowman and knock it down. However, since the base 607 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.199 of the stump was a base was a massive tree stump, 608 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.480 they failed. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. And 609 00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.920 a photograph that was posted with it, you can see 610 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:33.079 that the bumper of the car left this massive imprint 611 00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:36.360 in the snow was formerly the base of the snowman. 612 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.800 Uh. 613 00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.199 And of course they said they felt the snowman was 614 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:46.480 meant to build and teach the vandals a lesson, calling it, yes, 615 00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:49.320 of course instant karma. Imagine what the front of the 616 00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:59.559 car looked like, I know, you know, imagine the reaction 617 00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:02.360 to the people who wanted to do it. Oh my god, 618 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:07.199 Dad's gonna kill me. I wrecked his trunk. Five elderly 619 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.280 African elephants that the Colorado Zoo are going to stay there. 620 00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.400 This after the state's highest court said the animals have 621 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:17.239 no legal right to demand their release because of course 622 00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:21.199 they're not human. Colorado Supreme Court, in a six to 623 00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:25.239 zero decision, the term of the Jambo, Kimba, Lulu, Lucky 624 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.239 and Missy are going to remain at the Shayan Mountain 625 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:30.960 Zoo in Colorado Springs, following a similar decision from twenty 626 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.119 twenty two by New York State's highest court Court of 627 00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:36.400 Appeals that another aged elephant, Happy had remained at New 628 00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:41.480 York City. Bronx U Animal rights nonprofit non Human Rights 629 00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:44.360 Project brought both cases on the elephant's behalf under a 630 00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:47.639 legal doctrine known as habeas corpus, which I brought up 631 00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:53.519 yesterday in so far as the jay six protesters are concerned, 632 00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:58.119 Citing affidavids from several animal as seven animal biologists, the 633 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.800 group told the Colorado court the elephants are highly social 634 00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:04.000 and mobiles share many cognitive abilities with humans, including empathy 635 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.280 and self awareness, and when confined in zoo experience and 636 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:11.320 boredom and stress that could lead to brain damage. Court 637 00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:15.519 said Colorado habea's statute applies to persons, not to non 638 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.760 human animals, no matter how cognitively, psychologically, or socially sophisticated 639 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.039 they may be. It also said Non Human Rights Projects 640 00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:27.039 concession during oral argument that it was seeking only different confinement, 641 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.800 not complete freedom, for the elephants, was another reason to 642 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.360 treat them and humans differently. 643 00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:34.639 Court to do justice. 644 00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.960 Maria Beckencotter, writing, the case does not turn on our 645 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.639 regard for these majestic animals generally or these five specifically. 646 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.039 Because an elephant is not a person, the elephants here 647 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:49.199 do not have standing to bring a habeas corpus claim 648 00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.320 on their part. In the statement, non Human Rights Projects 649 00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:56.559 to the decision perpetuates a clear injustice that consigns the 650 00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:59.480 five elements elephants, in their words, to a lifetime of 651 00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:05.480 mental and physical suffering. They say they have not determined 652 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:07.880 their next legal steps. Well there aren't any. You've already 653 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:11.079 been through Colorado's highest court.

I didn't know what that was and look 757 00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:22.199 it up. It's an initial cap on that Interpol red notices. 758 00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:24.920 I guess that's the international police looking for these folks. 759 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:31.039 They found them, along with murder and rape suspects. The 760 00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.000 Department Homeland Security has also removed limits from powers of 761 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:36.760 expedited removal, a day after it rescinded to Biden air 762 00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:41.719 a memo restricting where ICE can conduct enforcement operations, expanding 763 00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:45.559 the powers for these folks over the borders are Tom Homan. 764 00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:51.159 He was speaking on Fox and Friends yesterday. We're just 765 00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:54.400 trying to help public safety in your community. And I 766 00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:57.679 guess he's directing these comments towards sanctuary cities and the 767 00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:02.079 outspoken individuals who are are against helping out and will 768 00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:08.639 stand in the way of ICE doing its job, and 769 00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:11.960 they may be in trouble. People like Attorney Arizona Attorney 770 00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:16.199 General Chris Mays, I will not have any part of 771 00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:19.440 and will fight the attempt to set up what I 772 00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:23.039 believe are essentially concentration camps and family separation camps in 773 00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:26.320 the state of Arizona, which home and respired. He called 774 00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.639 it insultant, said, we said, right out of the gate, Lawrence, 775 00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:32.199 we're going to concentrate on public safety so she's saying 776 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:35.280 that she doesn't want public safety threads out of the community. 777 00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.400 I also insulted by the term concentration camps. Are you serious? 778 00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:44.719 We just lost the Border Patrol agent a shooting up 779 00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:47.840 in Vermont yesterday and they're not and they're the Gestapo. 780 00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:51.960 Are you serious? Concentration camps. ICE has detention centers. They're 781 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:54.480 the best standards in the entire industry. I'll compare ICE 782 00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:57.119 detention standards in any state or federally or any county 783 00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:00.840 facility in the entire world. We got the highest detention standard. 784 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.840 So that's an insult and it's a lie. 785 00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:04.320 Amen. 786 00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:09.920 He said, help work with us because you're forced. You've 787 00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:12.719 forced us in the community. Here's what's going to happen. 788 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.679 We'll find a bad guy, but when we find him, 789 00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:17.719 it's going to be with others. Others that might not 790 00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:19.760 have criminal priority. But guess what if they're in the 791 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:23.159 United States illegally, they're going to be arrested too. Sanctuary 792 00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:25.519 cities are going to get exactly what they don't want. 793 00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:29.000 More agents in the communities, more people arrested, more collateral arrests. 794 00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:32.239 So that's a game they want to play game on 795 00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:36.559 And as to his statements. Their statement, Rather, sanctuary CITI 796 00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.880 is going to get exactly what they don't want. That's 797 00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:43.440 what the woke officials don't want. You asked the population, 798 00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:45.280 the citizenry that has to deal with it and the 799 00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:48.880 limited resources that these this influxibilitgal immigrants has brought to 800 00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:51.440 their communities. I bet you most of them say no, 801 00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:53.840 we want them here. We want these folks out of here. 802 00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:57.440 They've ruined life, housing shortage, you know, schools are packed 803 00:46:57.440 --> 00:46:59.679 and crowded. Do no other resources to take care of them. 804 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:08.400 They're here legally, Holman said, we're concentrating on the worst first, 805 00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:12.079 the public safety threats and national security threats. And just yesterday, 806 00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:14.400 in the last twenty four hours, ICE arrested over three 807 00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:17.679 hundred and eight serious criminals. Some of them are murderers, 808 00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:19.880 some of them are rapists, some of them rape the child, 809 00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.440 some are a sexual assault of a child. So ICE 810 00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.199 is doing their job and they're prioritizing just as the 811 00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:28.400 President said they would. ICE is performing excellent right now 812 00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.159 out in the field, and they're going to continue every day. 813 00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:35.880 So I want to save lives, secure borders, save lives. 814 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:38.840 When President Trump locks this border down, less women and 815 00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:42.559 children will be sex traffic in the country. Less aliens 816 00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.440 will die making that journey. Under President Biden, we've had 817 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:48.079 a record number of people die acrossing the border. And 818 00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:54.159 here's fun figure for you, folks, a six hundred percent 819 00:47:54.400 --> 00:48:03.360 increase in sex trafficking. Just think of the horror that 820 00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:08.639 so many people have gone through and something that was 821 00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:10.840 encouraged by the Biden administration. Let's see what Steve's got 822 00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:12.599 a Steve, thanks for calling this morning, and a happy 823 00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:13.320 Friday Eve to you. 824 00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:16.679 Yes, sir, you're on eight cylinders today. 825 00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:17.119 That's good. 826 00:48:17.159 --> 00:48:20.239 I'm still on four. But you know that's me. You're 827 00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:21.599 you and I'm me, and. 828 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:23.320 One day I'll grow. 829 00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:27.960 Up and then be on eight cylinders. A couple of 830 00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:31.039 things on the stack of stupid ani a mini one 831 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:33.880 and then the main one. I'm calling. And I know 832 00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:37.280 Dan Hill or Dan Hills was the former head of 833 00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:39.960 the FOP, and you had a good relationship with him, 834 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.440 and he spoke very sensibly. And there's a new head 835 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.599 of the FOP and I don't know his name, but 836 00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:49.400 I do know that the local media or the media 837 00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:52.880 got a SoundBite from him, and he was happy to 838 00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:56.199 make something black and white that is very gray, and 839 00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:59.920 he's upset that Trump would pardon anybody that would fight 840 00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:03.360 with a police officer. Is not upset about He's not 841 00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:06.079 upset about the fact that there's at least two dozen 842 00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:09.480 and FBI informants that were encouraging people to do this. 843 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:13.000 He's not upset that there were police officers that there's opening 844 00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:15.920 doors and letting people in. So he gave them the 845 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.360 SoundBite they wanted. That's the mini stack of stupid. So 846 00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:21.960 just based on it being gray and not black and white, 847 00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:24.559 you think he would kind of keep his mouth shut. 848 00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:26.079 But maybe he's smarter than me. 849 00:49:26.239 --> 00:49:28.760 Yeah, Ken Kobert, he's been on the program quite a 850 00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:29.280 few times. 851 00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:31.280 Yeah, I've heard him on your show. I don't think 852 00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:34.760 he's smarter than me, but maybe he is. Secondly, and 853 00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:37.000 this is the main reason, but you know whatever I'm 854 00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:38.920 going to call I think of something else to say. 855 00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:41.639 But my main stack is stupid, and you were hammering 856 00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:46.880 him pretty good earlier in the week. I'm not I'm 857 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:49.519 not a sports fan. I used to be. You know, 858 00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:51.760 if it's on, I'll watch a few minutes here and there. 859 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:55.559 They are mercenaries. They don't represent me in any way. 860 00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:58.360 They'll play for anybody. What do I care. It doesn't 861 00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:01.039 affect my life one way or the other. But with 862 00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:05.880 the stadium, imagine, here's the stack of stupid. You are 863 00:50:06.599 --> 00:50:10.119 in a family of multi millionaires, You were born into 864 00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:13.679 the wealth or you married into it. You happen to 865 00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:18.719 be affiliated with a football team. You want the county 866 00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:23.719 to pay for repairs that are more or upgrades that 867 00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:28.199 cost more than the stadium initially costs. And they're actually 868 00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.159 sitting down negotiating. 869 00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:30.800 Now. 870 00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:35.880 The stupid is the millionaires that think they're entitled to this. 871 00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:40.400 The stupid is also the side negotiating with them. It's like, 872 00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:43.119 I agree with you one hundred percent. You got a 873 00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:46.960 pretty nice stadium. Not everybody can have the nicest home 874 00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:52.119 on the block. Not everybody has the best one. I'll 875 00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:55.159 never forget Ricky Henderson at one point was the highest 876 00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:58.679 paid player in baseball, and then somebody else became the 877 00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:02.239 highest paid player in baseball, and he was like, had 878 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:05.400 this hour look on his face, like he was not 879 00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:10.840 happy anymore. It's like the juvenile mentality on both sides. 880 00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:14.760 Go ahead and go somewhere else. I mean, you know, 881 00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:18.480 do it, I mean, knock yourself out I mean, you've 882 00:51:18.519 --> 00:51:21.519 got a really good stadium. I can't you know the 883 00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:25.000 baseball stadium they use eighty times a year, the football 884 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.039 stadium they use eight times a year, ten times a year. 885 00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:30.639 What a waste of money. And the fact that they 886 00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:36.480 would even consider throwing and the county officials if if 887 00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:40.320 the Bengals are asking for a billion and the county 888 00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:43.239 officials negotiate it down to eight hundred million, they'll be 889 00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:45.800 patting themselves on the back like they saved the county 890 00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:50.159 a lot of money. It divinity on both sides. 891 00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:52.400 I'm not disputing what you're saying, but the figure isn't 892 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.519 yet yet that high. I think it was three hundred 893 00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:58.719 million dollars ask on the upgrades. But regardless, I don't 894 00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:01.320 I can't argue your point, but it goes down to it. 895 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:05.639 It's a contractual relationship. The reason they have and can 896 00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.000 demand these upgrades is because the least agreement that we 897 00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:12.679 entered into with the owners allows them that, and they 898 00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:15.599 can ask that, and it requires the taxpayers at Hamilton 899 00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:17.159 County to fund certain upgrades. 900 00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:18.559 It's part of the contract. 901 00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:22.400 Bob betting House for the Bengals. 902 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:23.920 Yeah, yeah, I mean, we all know. 903 00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:28.920 The negotiated for the county, get run out of office 904 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.559 or whatever, and got lost his ship whatever it was, 905 00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:36.840 left his job, guaranteed employment with the Bengals. That there's 906 00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:40.119 no that, nothing smells bad about that, does it. 907 00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:43.199 Oh No, No, that's never, ever, ever not left this 908 00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:43.920 tension the room. 909 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:46.320 Yeah, of course, nobody's supposed to remember anything. 910 00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:49.840 Well, we're living the reality of those negotiations right now, 911 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:53.039 and that's where these obligations in the county come from. 912 00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:56.159 If they negotiated a better agreement and those can clearer 913 00:52:56.159 --> 00:52:58.679 heads have been in the room at the time, maybe 914 00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:00.880 we wouldn't be struggling with this right now. I don't know, 915 00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:03.679 but I agree with you all day long. We shouldn't 916 00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:06.239 have to and shouldn't be worried about having the best 917 00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:10.679 facilities in the country.

We all love here in 1081 01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:18.960 the greater Cincinnati area, and people love throughout this country 1082 01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:22.400 and this great land of ours. Welcome back. Former Secretary 1083 01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:24.559 of State of Ohio, Treasure of Ohio, former mayor of 1084 01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:28.599 the City of Cincinnati, and someone who's never ever stopped working. 1085 01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:33.079 He's with the senior fellow with Family Research Council. Welcome back, 1086 01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:35.719 Ken Blackwell. It's always a pleasure having you on the show. 1087 01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:39.360 Stop it the money and Brian good to be with you. 1088 01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:40.239 Your reaction. 1089 01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:43.280 How'd you feel when when Monday finally rolled around and 1090 01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:47.159 Donald Trump got sworn In my reactions, I quite literally, sir, 1091 01:01:47.559 --> 01:01:49.719 felt like a weight had been lifted, as I've been 1092 01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:52.199 walking around for the past four years with this tense 1093 01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:55.280 concern for our country and the direction that is going. 1094 01:01:55.320 --> 01:01:57.320 It's almost as if someone flipped the switch on. 1095 01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:01.199 Oh absolutely, And that's a that's a good way of 1096 01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:05.239 looking at it, because once that switch was flipped, a 1097 01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:10.199 ball of energy and intelligence hit the White House and 1098 01:02:11.079 --> 01:02:15.599 he just has been working. You know, this guy is 1099 01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:22.199 not only a business tycoon and a developer. He understands 1100 01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:27.119 some very fund principles and he actually understands American history. Everybody, 1101 01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:29.440 a lot of people, particularly on the left, thought he 1102 01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:32.639 was this looney tune when he said, you know, we're 1103 01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:38.719 going to put off on the table to denmark to 1104 01:02:38.800 --> 01:02:43.840 the person's a part of their property. Well everse, oh, 1105 01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:48.119 he can't do that. Well, howd the heck? Do people 1106 01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:53.559 just don't remember that we purchased Russia from Russia in 1107 01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:55.559 eighteen sixty seven Alaska? 1108 01:02:55.679 --> 01:02:59.559 Yeah, I think they regret selling it to us. But 1109 01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:02.800 you're right, it can be done. And to your point 1110 01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:06.199 about him being a businessman, it's like the Bengals. You know, 1111 01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:10.239 you ask huge, and you expect your initial ask to 1112 01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:13.159 be whittled away. That's when the negotiation process comes in. 1113 01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.880 So he says he wants to buy it, but look 1114 01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:18.599 what's happened The folks in Greenland by you know, it's 1115 01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:21.000 been widely reported may not be all fired up about 1116 01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:24.119 being purchased by the United States, but it has spurred 1117 01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:28.079 an independence movement in their country, and they also suggest 1118 01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:31.079 that they want closer ties to the United States. The 1119 01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:34.239 reason Trump wants it won there's all kinds of natural 1120 01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:36.440 resources there that could be tapped in which are not 1121 01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:39.639 being tapped in. But also because of strategic significance in 1122 01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:42.559 connection with global affairs. So if they want to embrace 1123 01:03:42.559 --> 01:03:44.920 the United States and become closer with us, it all 1124 01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:47.559 starts with a question, with a statement like I want 1125 01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:48.360 to buy Greenland. 1126 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:54.320 Oh, absolutely, you know, he's the master of the transaction. 1127 01:03:55.079 --> 01:03:59.119 The other thing that he really understands is that capital 1128 01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:03.719 seeks to pay for at least resistance and greatest opportunity. 1129 01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:07.440 He's not the first to understand that. Reagan understood it, 1130 01:04:07.840 --> 01:04:12.920 but Trump has been living that principle and understanding that 1131 01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:17.519 for all of his adult life. And so he understands 1132 01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:21.480 that one we in fact have to cut taxes, you know, 1133 01:04:22.159 --> 01:04:26.920 to make in fact it attractive to invest in the 1134 01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:30.599 US again. The last time around, he was able to 1135 01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:34.199 create a climate that brought almost two and a half 1136 01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:39.400 trillion dollars offshore back into the American economy, and Brian, 1137 01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:41.840 he's off to do it again. 1138 01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:42.840 Yeah. 1139 01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:45.920 Well, apparently the idea of getting businesses to move here 1140 01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:48.480 seems to be working. That's part of the tariff component. 1141 01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:48.960 You know. 1142 01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:51.800 Trump's position is, listen, if we increase these tariffs, more 1143 01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:54.039 businesses will want to come here and settle up and 1144 01:04:54.519 --> 01:04:59.239 start up here. Miss was it LG electronics manufacturer, washing 1145 01:04:59.239 --> 01:05:00.000 machine manufactur? 1146 01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:00.320 Sure? 1147 01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:03.119 I believe it was a whirlpool or whatever moving or 1148 01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:06.360 are talking about moving their Mexican production here to the 1149 01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:09.519 United States and start producing these items in American facilities. 1150 01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:13.679 I think Solanis is moving the production of jeeps back 1151 01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:16.280 to Illinois if I read that article correctly this morning. 1152 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.599 But it seems to be having an impact. Yes, Solanti's 1153 01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:22.920 to reopen Illinois jeep plants and produce the Dodge Durango 1154 01:05:22.960 --> 01:05:25.960 in Detroit after meeting with Donald Trump. Moving in here. 1155 01:05:26.639 --> 01:05:29.440 So that's what that's the goal, that's the desire, and 1156 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:31.360 apparently it's bearing fruit already. 1157 01:05:32.119 --> 01:05:37.199 Well, I tell you I for almost four years now. 1158 01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:43.320 Another operation, another group of thinkers and action orient people 1159 01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:45.960 that I have to work with are the folks over 1160 01:05:46.239 --> 01:05:49.320 at the America First Politic Institute that was headed up 1161 01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:55.960 by Brooke Rollins. Linda McMahon was the chairman. New Gingridge 1162 01:05:56.079 --> 01:06:00.159 is on the board and we've we've been working to 1163 01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:05.079 in fact, put in place many of the executive orders 1164 01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:08.199 and the executive actions that this president has has has 1165 01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:13.239 worked on a group of of of scholars and policy 1166 01:06:13.360 --> 01:06:19.079 walks and administrators came out of the Reagan Excuse me, 1167 01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:20.719 they came out of. 1168 01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:26.480 The I'm just just pumped up about this. 1169 01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:32.400 Okay, Don Trump's Don Trump's administration and in fact that 1170 01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:34.960 we're going to go back, and when we go back, 1171 01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:36.079 we're going to be ready. 1172 01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:39.039 Let's pause, bring Ken Blackwell back. I want to talk 1173 01:06:39.119 --> 01:06:41.880 a little bit about energy policy, because Trump is unleashing 1174 01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:45.039 the energy that we have right here, and that's certainly, 1175 01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.039 from my perspective, is going to create great opportunities for 1176 01:06:48.039 --> 01:06:51.239 more business to come to America. Pause will bring Ken 1177 01:06:51.239 --> 01:06:53.039 Weell Blackwell back. It's six thirty five right now. If 1178 01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:55.960 you have KCD talk stationally mentioned a fantastic product and 1179 01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:58.679 one you wish you had right now in these cold temperatures. 1180 01:06:58.679 --> 01:07:01.679 That's USA insulation.

No, it's probably been running non stop. 1183 01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:08.920 Your furnace will burn out earlier. If your home is 1184 01:07:09.039 --> 01:07:12.280 under insulated or uninsulated, and that's where USA's premium phone 1185 01:07:12.320 --> 01:07:14.920 comes in. Call for a free inspection.

One of the cars caught fire. 1222 01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:52.800 Chuck Ingraman fifty five KR. See the talk station. 1223 01:08:54.399 --> 01:08:56.840 Six thirty nine fifty about KRCD talks station Brian Twins 1224 01:08:56.880 --> 01:09:00.560 with Ken Blackwell. Always love hearing from Ken Blackwell and 1225 01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:04.399 Ken pivoting over. Obviously, Donald Trump hit the ground running. 1226 01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:06.239 I don't think you could describe it really better than that, 1227 01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:09.640 all these executive orders and and praees. Dear God, let 1228 01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:12.159 this be true and let it stick. What appears to 1229 01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:15.560 be the end of this climate change religion used to 1230 01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:18.640 be global warming until the blizzards hit the Southern States Ken, 1231 01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:21.600 and now it's you know, it's climate change. So but 1232 01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:25.560 you know, pulling us out of the Paris Accord got 1233 01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:28.840 the National Energy Emergency, which opens up millions of acres 1234 01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:32.560 in Alaska. We've got more oil, gas and energy in 1235 01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:34.840 this country than anyplace else on earth, he pointed out. 1236 01:09:36.079 --> 01:09:38.720 And you know, just go ahead and contract. You want 1237 01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.000 a real time illustration contrasted with what's going on in Germany, 1238 01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:45.920 the former economic powerhouse of the European Union. They can't 1239 01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:49.880 even keep their lights on. Factories literally shut down because 1240 01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:52.399 they cannot afford to pay the energy bill. You don't 1241 01:09:52.399 --> 01:09:55.640 produce goods and services if you can't pay the electric bill, 1242 01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:58.720 and the relyant on the wind and solar until ken 1243 01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:01.319 the wind stops flowing and the sun doesn't shine. Then 1244 01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:03.399 they borrow nuclear power from France. 1245 01:10:05.399 --> 01:10:09.039 Oh absolutely, Look what the President has said is that 1246 01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:12.039 he not only wants to make the United States of 1247 01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:18.399 America energy independent, he wants to make us energy dominant. 1248 01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:23.039 He understands that we have the intellectual genius and the 1249 01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:29.279 natural resources to get our economy growing at an accelerated pace, 1250 01:10:29.399 --> 01:10:33.439 put Americans back to work, giving them ample sovereigns. But 1251 01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:35.880 one of the things that people don't know is that 1252 01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:41.880 what by even in fighting inflation, the energy strategy has 1253 01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:45.800 a high impact. And so he understands that one of 1254 01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:50.039 the ways that you bring down the cost is in 1255 01:10:50.119 --> 01:10:56.159 fact making understanding what the petroleum and other energy sources 1256 01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:59.560 go into in terms of agriculture, in terms you know, 1257 01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:02.119 just running our factory. 1258 01:11:01.720 --> 01:11:06.960 So plastic, I mean, can we live with that plastic cat? 1259 01:11:09.920 --> 01:11:14.560 He's and look and the reason I tell you, gingas 1260 01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:18.199 all the time we went back with Reagan and Reagan 1261 01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:23.239 and and and even Dixon, those folks said we will 1262 01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:26.159 make sure that America that we improved the air in 1263 01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:31.199 America and the water. And I challenge anybody to show 1264 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:36.640 us where our water and our air is second to any. 1265 01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:37.960 In the world. 1266 01:11:39.079 --> 01:11:40.720 Yeah, there's no question about it. 1267 01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:43.520 And you know, Kennis, I've observed many times over the 1268 01:11:43.640 --> 01:11:47.159 years wealth is what allows you to clean up the environment. 1269 01:11:47.560 --> 01:11:50.359 When you have an abundance of wealth, you can allocate 1270 01:11:50.439 --> 01:11:53.800 resources to clean things up or improve conditions. But you 1271 01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:55.359 have to have the money first. 1272 01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:03.000 Absolutely, and President Trump understands that. But what I really 1273 01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:08.920 like about the way he's jump started everything associated with 1274 01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:13.319 Washington d C. Is that this guy never treated any 1275 01:12:13.399 --> 01:12:17.439 part of America a flower country, right that. 1276 01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:19.560 And so he has. 1277 01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:25.760 Fundamentally realigned the Republican party base in America and he 1278 01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:32.000 understands that that base, that energy, that imagination, that confidence 1279 01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:34.880 and confidence and pride in America is what's going to 1280 01:12:34.920 --> 01:12:40.119 push this train down the track. And that's what people 1281 01:12:40.319 --> 01:12:45.119 have have underestimated this guy, you know he is. 1282 01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:46.520 He is the true. 1283 01:12:46.279 --> 01:12:51.479 Definition of a blue collar billionaire. Just his work ethic, 1284 01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:54.640 his love of the country, uh, and his love of 1285 01:12:54.680 --> 01:12:56.880 Americans America. 1286 01:12:56.399 --> 01:12:59.359 First, Yes, that's his thing, and that works. 1287 01:12:59.640 --> 01:13:01.800 Isn't an amazing you know, that wasn't that long ago 1288 01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:04.119 that they are Particans of the Republicans with a party 1289 01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:07.239 of you know, elite billionaires and rubbing shoulders with the 1290 01:13:07.239 --> 01:13:10.039 corporate lead. They didn't give a damn about the front 1291 01:13:10.039 --> 01:13:13.199 line Americans. And look at the Republican Party now versus 1292 01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:16.359 the Democrat Party who are surrounded by all of the 1293 01:13:16.399 --> 01:13:17.239 corporate greed. 1294 01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:20.119 Right. 1295 01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:24.560 It was so funny being in DC and the inauguration 1296 01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:28.319 and to watch a lot of and to listen to 1297 01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:32.960 a so called legacy media talk about, Oh, isn't it awful? 1298 01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:34.960 Look at it? Look at it? Look at those guys. 1299 01:13:35.239 --> 01:13:38.600 Who are those billionaires who are with Trump? You know, 1300 01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:41.359 just a year ago many of those billionaires are on 1301 01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:45.359 the other side and they don't complaining about them. Then, yeah, 1302 01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:49.880 but the Trump understands that he could create an environment 1303 01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:54.239 and that most of those folks have some intelligence and 1304 01:13:54.439 --> 01:13:57.119 they in fact want to be on the winning team. 1305 01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:59.760 Yeah, real quick here before we part company. Canon, back 1306 01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:02.560 to the energy thing. I'm really hopeful. I mean, first off, 1307 01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:07.000 an abundance of energy and resources for generating energy will 1308 01:14:07.039 --> 01:14:09.560 lower our energy bills. These the laws of supply and demand. 1309 01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:11.520 If you have a whole lot of it, it becomes less expensive. 1310 01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:14.960 So we'll all get a raise if Trump's policies move forward, 1311 01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:17.279 as I hope they do. But part of this component, 1312 01:14:17.319 --> 01:14:19.960 and it also works within the green religion that's going 1313 01:14:19.960 --> 01:14:22.720 on out there, Why can't we build nuclear plants? Here 1314 01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:24.600 in the United States of America. And I think one 1315 01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.399 thing that's going to allow us to unleash that unbelievably 1316 01:14:27.520 --> 01:14:32.199 wonderful energy generation source is artificial intelligence. You know, when 1317 01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:35.760 these billionaires want to build these massive AI facilities, and 1318 01:14:35.840 --> 01:14:37.920 they are, and we need to compete with China in 1319 01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:40.359 the area of AI, and we do. They're talking about 1320 01:14:40.359 --> 01:14:43.960 building their own nuclear facilities to power these plants. Maybe 1321 01:14:44.000 --> 01:14:48.239 that is the key to unlocking us getting this abundant 1322 01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:50.600 energy supply, which happens to be carbon neutral. 1323 01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:51.880 Oh. 1324 01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:56.399 Absolutely, we just close out with this. Trump has not 1325 01:14:56.640 --> 01:15:00.239 just been focused on false appuels. He has always said 1326 01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:04.319 we're going to be utilizing all of the above, and 1327 01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:07.760 so he understands just what you just said that in fact, 1328 01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:12.199 we're going to be where it's nuclear, whether it's you know, 1329 01:15:12.479 --> 01:15:15.520 you can just name it every source, but it's all 1330 01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:19.760 of the above without abandoning our foundation source. 1331 01:15:20.840 --> 01:15:24.119 Let let the smartest ideas in the room prevail and 1332 01:15:24.159 --> 01:15:27.640 do not artificially prevent them with some nonsensical comment about 1333 01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:29.880 you know, exhalation killing the planet. 1334 01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:30.840 My take on it. 1335 01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.880 Anyway, Ken Blackwell, you are always welcome here in the 1336 01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:35.960 fifty five caresing morning, showing to my listeners, love you 1337 01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:38.079 and I do two, and keep up the great work 1338 01:15:38.119 --> 01:15:41.479 and keep speaking truth well formally truth to power.

What do 1428 01:19:36.439 --> 01:19:39.640 you think of Elon Musk, perhaps the President's most visible advisor, 1429 01:19:39.720 --> 01:19:42.319 doing two Hyle Hitler's salutes last night at the President's 1430 01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:49.840 televis rally. What an embarrassment anyway? What an object lesson 1431 01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:53.279 in the laundering of a kooky online smear. Roll back 1432 01:19:53.319 --> 01:19:56.319 to day, Mister Musk is reacting to a roaring arena 1433 01:19:56.319 --> 01:19:58.520 as he says the twenty twenty four election really mattered, 1434 01:19:58.520 --> 01:20:00.560 and his heart goes out to the crowd. He slaps 1435 01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:02.800 his chest and waves his arm around to the audience. 1436 01:20:03.359 --> 01:20:06.359 The peanut gallery on social media went nuts, suggesting it 1437 01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:10.560 was an intentional Nazi salute, which mainstream mountains then cited 1438 01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:16.800 to justify covering the supposed controversy. New York Times said 1439 01:20:16.840 --> 01:20:20.119 Elon Musk ignited speculation and chatter online. 1440 01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:22.439 The Atlantic. 1441 01:20:22.479 --> 01:20:25.840 Did Elon Musk actually toss off a seguile at Donald 1442 01:20:25.880 --> 01:20:28.520 Trump's inauguration round today? A lot of people online seem 1443 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:31.720 to think he did soon enough. It hardly mattered what 1444 01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:36.000 mister Musk intended he gestured, the AP said or his 1445 01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:39.960 gesture the AP said has been embraced by right wing extremists, 1446 01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:44.359 regardless of what he meant. Hey, Joe, where are all 1447 01:20:44.359 --> 01:20:51.279 these right wing extremists anyway? Okay, you let me know 1448 01:20:51.319 --> 01:20:55.720 when you find out. In response, mister Musk reposted pictures 1449 01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:59.000 of Hillary Clinton, Taylor Swift Another's photograph with one arm 1450 01:20:59.039 --> 01:21:03.159 straight out and palmed, saying, frankly, they need better dirty tricks. 1451 01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:08.399 The everyone is hitler attack is so tired, his tweets 1452 01:21:08.399 --> 01:21:12.399 are funny or exposts. Anti Defamation League even acknowledged, and 1453 01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:16.319 I acknowledge that many Americans are on edge. But but Musk, 1454 01:21:16.640 --> 01:21:19.119 in their words, made an awkward gesture in a moment 1455 01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:23.600 of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute. Thank you, Anti Defamation League. 1456 01:21:24.239 --> 01:21:28.199 We're speaking the truth, as a journal observed mister Musk. 1457 01:21:28.239 --> 01:21:31.039 Mike copped to awkwardness when he appeared on Saturday Night 1458 01:21:31.079 --> 01:21:33.239 Live a few years ago. His monologue included a comedic 1459 01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:35.479 bit about making History Night as the first person with 1460 01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:39.199 Aspergers to host, meaning that I won't make a lot 1461 01:21:39.239 --> 01:21:41.520 of eye contact with the cast to night, but don't worry. 1462 01:21:41.560 --> 01:21:46.840 I'm pretty good at running humid in emulation mode. Also 1463 01:21:46.880 --> 01:21:50.560 recall musk exuberant, if dorky leap at a Trump rally 1464 01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:54.319 last year. Tim Waltz, Democratic vice presidential nominee, mocked him for, 1465 01:21:54.600 --> 01:21:59.039 in his words, skipping like a dip s word. No, 1466 01:21:59.279 --> 01:22:03.680 he's really an ey some Democrats now say Representative Gerald Nadler. 1467 01:22:04.960 --> 01:22:07.239 I never imagine we would see the day when what 1468 01:22:07.319 --> 01:22:09.479 appears to be a Hile Hitler salute would be made 1469 01:22:09.479 --> 01:22:12.359 behind the presidential seal. I urge all of my colleagues 1470 01:22:12.399 --> 01:22:15.520 to unite in condemning this hateful gesture for what it is, 1471 01:22:15.760 --> 01:22:21.920 Anti Semitism. General concludes there it is the birth of 1472 01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:26.600 a partisan talking point and the spreading of disinformation. 1473 01:22:27.840 --> 01:22:30.399 Six fifty six fifty five cars in the talk station. 1474 01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:34.319 Dave Williams Taxpayer Protection Alliance after the news, if you 1475 01:22:34.359 --> 01:22:35.199 can stick around. 1476 01:22:35.359 --> 01:22:38.840 Your voice, thank you for taking that call your country 1477 01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:40.640 gives us all somewhat to think about. 1478 01:22:41.119 --> 01:22:43.640 Fifty five KRC the talk station. 1479 01:22:44.159 --> 01:22:50.199 This report is. 1480 01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:57.159 How about that day Philadelphia Mayor Cheryl Parker is belling? No, No, 1481 01:22:57.359 --> 01:23:00.960 they wouldn't allow her into my organization. That's hilarious, man. 1482 01:23:01.119 --> 01:23:03.159 I just got a big kick out of that. And 1483 01:23:03.239 --> 01:23:05.720 I did not realize until this morning because Joe alerted 1484 01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:07.760 me to the fact that you're a big Philadelphia Eagles fit. 1485 01:23:07.840 --> 01:23:09.600 It's like, oh my god, it can't wait till he 1486 01:23:09.640 --> 01:23:10.640 comes on the show. 1487 01:23:11.319 --> 01:23:16.279 ELXis elexis Yes, the Philadelphia Elexis. 1488 01:23:16.039 --> 01:23:18.439 Yeah, e lg Ses. 1489 01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:22.880 In response to that, after she got thoroughly embarrassed online, 1490 01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:26.319 she said, we don't promise perfection. I'm so happy I 1491 01:23:26.399 --> 01:23:29.960 never have, especially after I couldn't spell Eagles right. She 1492 01:23:30.079 --> 01:23:32.279 just admitted she know how to spell it. Dannyhow Dave 1493 01:23:32.800 --> 01:23:34.239 spent too much time on that. We got quite a 1494 01:23:34.279 --> 01:23:36.720 few topics to go through, including and welcome back. By 1495 01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:38.359 the way, I appreciate what you do. Over at the 1496 01:23:38.560 --> 01:23:42.119 taxpayer Protection lines. We're out of the World Health Organization. 1497 01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:44.199 We were paying for the whole damn thing, weren't we. 1498 01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:48.560 Yeah, I mean we're paying three hundred million, more than 1499 01:23:48.600 --> 01:23:50.680 three hundred million dollars a year, and we are the 1500 01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:54.760 largest contributor to the World Health Organization and this and 1501 01:23:55.039 --> 01:23:58.199 for people, this is a sub agency of the United Nations. 1502 01:23:58.319 --> 01:23:59.159 So that tells you. 1503 01:23:59.239 --> 01:24:01.880 Everything you need to know about the World Health Organization 1504 01:24:02.039 --> 01:24:05.520 right there, and just how efficient and effect effective they are. 1505 01:24:05.760 --> 01:24:07.920 And here's the problem is that we pay the most 1506 01:24:07.920 --> 01:24:11.920 of any other country to the World Health Organization and 1507 01:24:12.359 --> 01:24:15.800 they don't listen to us. They basically ignore everything that 1508 01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:19.079 we say. China pays I think it's like eight or 1509 01:24:19.119 --> 01:24:22.239 ten million dollars a year, and the World Health Organization 1510 01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:25.119 listens to everything that they do. And you know, going 1511 01:24:25.159 --> 01:24:28.640 back to the pandemic in twenty twenty, is that really 1512 01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:32.479 China ran the World Health Organization? The World Health Organization 1513 01:24:32.560 --> 01:24:35.039 said this thing is not you know, you can't spread this. 1514 01:24:35.439 --> 01:24:37.920 It's not airborne. You know, that was the famous tweet 1515 01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:41.000 in February of twenty twenty where they said, the World 1516 01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:44.560 Health Organization said, no, this is not airborne, don't worry, 1517 01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:48.119 You're not going to catch it. Well, we learned differently, 1518 01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:48.600 didn't we. 1519 01:24:48.680 --> 01:24:49.159 No, we did. 1520 01:24:49.640 --> 01:24:52.279 We also learned that those pesky masks don't do a 1521 01:24:52.359 --> 01:24:54.319 damn thing either. But it took them long enough to 1522 01:24:54.319 --> 01:24:57.880 finally acknowledge that I just and six foot stay six 1523 01:24:57.880 --> 01:25:00.239 feet away from each other. Pulled straight out of doctor 1524 01:25:00.279 --> 01:25:05.680 fauci sphincter. I mean, you know, anyhow before we move over, 1525 01:25:05.880 --> 01:25:07.000 go ahead. 1526 01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:10.279 Yeah, there's one last thing about the World Health Organizations. 1527 01:25:10.319 --> 01:25:14.119 They spend twenty one thousand dollars per person on travel 1528 01:25:14.199 --> 01:25:17.920 a year. Now, doctors without Borders they spend two thousand 1529 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:21.319 dollars a year on travels. So the bureaucracy at the 1530 01:25:21.359 --> 01:25:26.399 WHO is massive. They are staying in five star hotels 1531 01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:29.640 or flying first class. This is what this agency is 1532 01:25:29.680 --> 01:25:32.479 doing with our taxpayer money. So what President Trump did, 1533 01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:36.399 and he did this eight years ago, was get rid 1534 01:25:36.439 --> 01:25:39.760 of funding of the World Health Organization. A fantastic move 1535 01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:40.520 and it needed to. 1536 01:25:40.479 --> 01:25:41.880 Be done well. 1537 01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:45.640 Since you did mention the United Nations, what about just 1538 01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:49.439 getting out of the United Nations another ridiculously expensive organization 1539 01:25:49.520 --> 01:25:51.560 we pay the most for and get the least out of. 1540 01:25:51.880 --> 01:25:55.119 How can you have human rights abusing countries on the 1541 01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:58.319 Human Rights Commission within the UN just one of a 1542 01:25:58.399 --> 01:26:02.119 countless list of backcrap in sanity coming out of the 1543 01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:04.079 United Nations. They hate us there. 1544 01:26:05.239 --> 01:26:08.800 They hate us, and when China has veto power over 1545 01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:12.520 any resolution that comes be forward. Obviously, this is not 1546 01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:15.159 an organization that we should be sending billions. I mean 1547 01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:18.520 the United Nations. We're spending eight to ten billion dollars 1548 01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:22.239 a year again to be ignored and for our interests 1549 01:26:22.359 --> 01:26:24.079 not to be listened to. 1550 01:26:24.520 --> 01:26:26.399 Well, I guess one of the reasons we stay is 1551 01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:30.760 it probably provides a wonderful spy mechanism so we can 1552 01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:33.199 keep our eyes and tabs on other countries. But also, 1553 01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:36.039 since we enjoy the VTA power, it can stop in 1554 01:26:36.079 --> 01:26:38.960 its tracks efforts to I guess, run over our freedoms 1555 01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:42.439 and liberties here in the United States. 1556 01:26:42.920 --> 01:26:44.560 At a very high price tag. 1557 01:26:44.600 --> 01:26:46.680 For sure, Well, it is, and we don't have to 1558 01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:47.520 pay that much. All right. 1559 01:26:47.520 --> 01:26:50.479 Over to the Paris Agreement. I had Ken Blackwell on 1560 01:26:50.560 --> 01:26:53.079 earlier in the program, and I I was praying this 1561 01:26:53.159 --> 01:26:56.000 day would come. It appears based upon Trump's executive orders, 1562 01:26:56.039 --> 01:26:58.640 including getting us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, the 1563 01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:02.680 ev order, the drill baby drill comments, the expansion of energy, 1564 01:27:02.720 --> 01:27:07.960 and that we're moving away from climate alarmism, the religion 1565 01:27:07.960 --> 01:27:11.319 that is the climate change. 1566 01:27:11.680 --> 01:27:13.479 I tell you, Brian. I think this is going to 1567 01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:16.880 be the sleeper issue of this Congress is if we 1568 01:27:17.000 --> 01:27:20.079 start drilling, you know, getting out of the Paris Climate Accords, 1569 01:27:20.439 --> 01:27:23.079 getting rid of the ev mandates. I think this is 1570 01:27:23.159 --> 01:27:27.119 the one item that could really help us reduce inflation, 1571 01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:30.439 bring down the cost of energy, right, get rid of 1572 01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:33.960 these subsidies. The Inflation Reduction Act, which really set the 1573 01:27:35.399 --> 01:27:38.520 tone for hundreds of billions of dollars in green energy. 1574 01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:42.159 If we can repeal that, I think we're going to 1575 01:27:42.199 --> 01:27:46.000 really get a handle on inflation. Because energy drives everything 1576 01:27:46.039 --> 01:27:48.399 in this country, no pun intended, but if you're talking 1577 01:27:48.439 --> 01:27:50.600 about moving goods from one part of the country to 1578 01:27:50.640 --> 01:27:53.039 the other, you bring down energy costs. You bring down 1579 01:27:53.279 --> 01:27:56.560 those costs home heating, just going to the gas station 1580 01:27:56.680 --> 01:27:59.680 and filling up. So this has the potential of having 1581 01:27:59.680 --> 01:28:01.600 the big impact on the economy. 1582 01:28:01.800 --> 01:28:03.720 Well, you know, it'd be nice if we maybe built 1583 01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:06.199 a couple of new refineries as well. That also would 1584 01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:09.479 lower the price of the gasoline and diesel that we have. 1585 01:28:09.920 --> 01:28:15.560 A nuclear power plans, nuclear power plants. Private companies are 1586 01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:17.840 doing this. You have Google, you have Amazon, you have 1587 01:28:18.079 --> 01:28:21.159 Microsoft that have these huge data centers that are saying, listen, 1588 01:28:21.319 --> 01:28:23.800 we are going to build our own nuclear power plants, 1589 01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:27.039 these small nuclear power plants to address these energy needs. 1590 01:28:27.199 --> 01:28:29.880 Why can't we do that as a country. Again, it's 1591 01:28:29.920 --> 01:28:32.600 going to bring down the cost of energy tremendously. 1592 01:28:32.720 --> 01:28:35.479 Well, that's something else I broughduct to ken that exact point. 1593 01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:39.239 The huge players in artificial intelligence, You just rotted them up. 1594 01:28:39.279 --> 01:28:40.800 I think that's one of the reasons they were standing 1595 01:28:40.840 --> 01:28:43.840 on the stage during the inauguration. They know that they 1596 01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:45.520 are going to have an opportunity to do just that 1597 01:28:45.640 --> 01:28:48.560 under the Trump administrations all of the above energy policies, 1598 01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:52.720 whereas the Biden administration and the green alarmists just for 1599 01:28:52.800 --> 01:28:55.960 whatever insane reason, do not want nuclear plants built and 1600 01:28:56.000 --> 01:28:58.960 day since they don't produce any pollutants or carbon dioxide. 1601 01:28:59.239 --> 01:29:01.720 What's the problem with an abundance of electricity on a 1602 01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:04.920 very small footprint. That are the modern nuclear plants, those 1603 01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:07.000 modular plants that they're able to build now, that don't 1604 01:29:07.000 --> 01:29:11.119 take as much time, money, or require a ridiculous amounts 1605 01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:11.560 of water. 1606 01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:16.319 And nuclear is renewable. That's what drives the lefties up 1607 01:29:16.319 --> 01:29:20.720 a wall is that nuclear is renewable and it is clean, 1608 01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:25.199 and you mentioned artificial intelligence. One of the executive orders 1609 01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:29.560 that Trump rescinded from Joe Biden was his Artificial Intelligence 1610 01:29:29.640 --> 01:29:33.520 Executive Order, basically saying that the federal government has to 1611 01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:38.039 review all AI development in this country. I mean, that's 1612 01:29:38.079 --> 01:29:40.520 absolutely ludicrous, and this is no lie of Brian. This 1613 01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:43.560 is no lie that Joe Biden. The reason why he 1614 01:29:44.079 --> 01:29:48.119 instituted this executive order was he watched the movie Mission Impossible, 1615 01:29:48.159 --> 01:29:50.359 remember the last ones, like two or three years ago, 1616 01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:54.039 where this big AI machine took over the world and 1617 01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:57.880 the big doomsday scenario. Yes, he literally said, this is 1618 01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:01.760 why we need an AI executive order is because AI 1619 01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:04.479 could destroy the world. I mean he's watching movies. Joe 1620 01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:08.439 Biden watched movies and based federal policy off of that. 1621 01:30:08.520 --> 01:30:10.760 I am not lying. This was the most ludicrous and 1622 01:30:10.800 --> 01:30:13.239 a lot of ludicrous things happened during the Mind administration. 1623 01:30:13.319 --> 01:30:16.359 It just it baffles me how we can live in 1624 01:30:16.399 --> 01:30:17.159 a country like that. 1625 01:30:17.359 --> 01:30:20.079 Yeah, it's there's the South Park episode about the trapper 1626 01:30:20.159 --> 01:30:22.359 Keeper that expanded and became prescient. 1627 01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:24.600 I just think about that too. 1628 01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:27.439 Maybe he saw that episode as well, but you know, 1629 01:30:27.600 --> 01:30:30.159 pause for a moment and just think about whether whether 1630 01:30:30.199 --> 01:30:35.239 there was any legitimacy beside behind Joe Biden's concerns, but 1631 01:30:35.359 --> 01:30:39.720 that the federal government would be would have oversight over 1632 01:30:39.760 --> 01:30:43.840 the development of artificial intelligence. I mean, there is no 1633 01:30:43.920 --> 01:30:46.239 intelligence in the federal government. They don't have any experts 1634 01:30:46.279 --> 01:30:49.720 there that have any could have any possible benefit beneficial 1635 01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:51.520 say in the matter. I mean, it's just crazy to 1636 01:30:51.560 --> 01:30:52.119 even think of. 1637 01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:56.199 And the government has never done anything correctly. 1638 01:30:56.239 --> 01:30:56.680 Look it up. 1639 01:30:56.680 --> 01:30:59.199 Look at the Internet. There's a light regular, a light 1640 01:30:59.239 --> 01:31:02.199 regulatory touch on the Internet right now. It is flourishing, 1641 01:31:02.279 --> 01:31:05.079 it is prospering. The government tried to put these net 1642 01:31:05.119 --> 01:31:08.760 neutrality rules, which was turned it into utility. That would 1643 01:31:08.800 --> 01:31:11.439 have killed the Internet. You know, private investment in the 1644 01:31:11.439 --> 01:31:15.319 Internet has just gone off the rails because there's a 1645 01:31:15.399 --> 01:31:18.199 light regulatory touch on it. And the same thing for 1646 01:31:18.319 --> 01:31:21.079 artificial intelligence. We want to be the leaders in this. 1647 01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:23.720 We don't want Europe, we don't want other countries to 1648 01:31:23.760 --> 01:31:26.479 be the leaders. So there has to be well I'm 1649 01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:29.199 not saying just ignore it completely, but there has to 1650 01:31:29.199 --> 01:31:32.640 be a very light regulatory touch on artificial intelligence. 1651 01:31:32.840 --> 01:31:35.840 Well, the reason it works so well is because entrepreneurs 1652 01:31:35.880 --> 01:31:38.359 went at it and know and had one thing motivating 1653 01:31:38.359 --> 01:31:42.640 them profit. The government is not interested in making profit. 1654 01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:45.239 They're not looking out for that. They're looking for just 1655 01:31:45.359 --> 01:31:48.640 ways to be obstructionists. Anyhow, we'll bring Dave back and 1656 01:31:48.640 --> 01:31:52.159 we'll talk a little bit about well Trump tax cuts 1657 01:31:52.199 --> 01:31:55.199 among others with Dave Williams again for the Taxpayer Protection 1658 01:31:55.239 --> 01:32:01.359 Alliance online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Money very important 1659 01:32:01.399 --> 01:32:03.079 topic and I like saving money and I don't like 1660 01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:05.880 spending money, especially if there's no reason for a particular 1661 01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:08.960 service to cost outrageous amounts when you can get it 1662 01:32:09.159 --> 01:32:12.600 for profit with a company that is for profit. I'm 1663 01:32:12.640 --> 01:32:16.279 talking imaging, medical imaging. The hospital imaging center is all 1664 01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:18.600 interested in profit, of course they are, but that's where 1665 01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:21.640 you get really taken to the cleaners. Five thousand dollars 1666 01:32:21.640 --> 01:32:24.600 for a CD scan, but affordable imaging services where they 1667 01:32:24.680 --> 01:32:27.920 still make a profit. A CT scan with a contrast 1668 01:32:27.960 --> 01:32:30.119 is six hundred dollars and yes it includes the board 1669 01:32:30.159 --> 01:32:33.359 certified radiologist report. I have my last set there and 1670 01:32:33.359 --> 01:32:35.159 I'm going to get my next one, which is in April. 1671 01:32:35.399 --> 01:32:38.560 Affordable imaging services, it's easy to do, very very low overhead. 1672 01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:40.279 I'm trying. I'm warning you ahad of time. I don't 1673 01:32:40.319 --> 01:32:41.760 spend a whole bunch of bells and whizzles, but they 1674 01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:46.640 got the same equipment. The hospitals use medical professionals operating it. Again, 1675 01:32:46.680 --> 01:32:48.680 the radiologist report comes with it, so whether it's an 1676 01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:52.600 mri CT scan, echo cardiogram, ultrasound, lung screening, or cardiac scoring, 1677 01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:56.640 a just a slice of the price at the hospital 1678 01:32:56.680 --> 01:32:59.279 imaging department will charge you. It's a new calendar year. 1679 01:32:59.279 --> 01:33:01.159 You probably got a new out of pocket responsibility. You 1680 01:33:01.199 --> 01:33:02.960 gotta check for five thousand dollars you want to write 1681 01:33:02.960 --> 01:33:03.880 out of your checking account. 1682 01:33:03.920 --> 01:33:04.439 Don't do that. 1683 01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:06.359 You have a choice when it comes to your medical care. 1684 01:33:06.399 --> 01:33:09.239 Affordable imaging services can be reached at five one three 1685 01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:12.439 seven five three eight thousand, five one three seven, five 1686 01:33:12.479 --> 01:33:14.640 three eight thousand. You can find them online at Affordable 1687 01:33:14.720 --> 01:33:16.239 medimaging dot com. 1688 01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:20.239 This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station. 1689 01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:23.199 As your Channel nine weather forecast. 1690 01:33:23.319 --> 01:33:25.199 Yes, I'm going to go up to thirty one degrees today, 1691 01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:28.399 may get some flurries this afternoon, of course, cloudy skies 1692 01:33:28.439 --> 01:33:31.399 for that. We'll have an overnight low of nine twenty 1693 01:33:31.399 --> 01:33:34.319 five to high with sunny skies Tomorrow thirteen overnight and 1694 01:33:34.359 --> 01:33:37.359 a cloudy Saturday. But I have a forty one eighteen 1695 01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:39.920 degrees right now. Time for traffic stop. 1696 01:33:39.960 --> 01:33:42.359 Toning two seventy five well cost you a couple of 1697 01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:45.520 extra minutes between the Lawrence per ramp and the work 1698 01:33:45.560 --> 01:33:48.520 on the Carrol Crawtford Bridge. Traffic elsewhere on the highways 1699 01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:51.119 not all that bad cruiser cleaning up in three car 1700 01:33:51.159 --> 01:33:54.279 wreck on Beakman hot Hopple watermain break has you down 1701 01:33:54.279 --> 01:33:58.359 to one mine in each direction on Witton at McKelvey, 1702 01:33:58.760 --> 01:34:01.439 Chuck Ingram on fifty five krc the talk station. 1703 01:34:04.800 --> 01:34:07.560 It is seven nineteen fast approaching seven twenty here fifty 1704 01:34:07.600 --> 01:34:11.199 five KRCD talk station and I very happy Friday. Evie 1705 01:34:11.439 --> 01:34:14.399 tax Payer protection lines Dave Williams on the phone talking well, 1706 01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:18.039 tax payer protection line stuff. And one of the things, 1707 01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:19.359 you know, I just before we move away from the 1708 01:34:19.439 --> 01:34:21.399 energy policy, I just have to put an exclamation point 1709 01:34:21.399 --> 01:34:23.840 on you know. I always sort of questioned in the 1710 01:34:23.840 --> 01:34:26.000 back of my mind, Dave, when Trump said I am 1711 01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:29.039 going to bring down inflation. That's a pretty bold statement 1712 01:34:29.079 --> 01:34:34.279 because so many things are impact inflation. But one thing 1713 01:34:34.319 --> 01:34:36.560 he certainly does have the ability to do is bring 1714 01:34:37.119 --> 01:34:39.000 down the cost of energy along the lines of what 1715 01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:42.239 we were talking about, and ergo lower the price of 1716 01:34:42.279 --> 01:34:45.880 gasoline and diesel. That will certainly have be a vehicle 1717 01:34:45.920 --> 01:34:48.119 to lower the price of goods and services in this country. 1718 01:34:48.119 --> 01:34:52.159 I mean, it has a tangible, understandable benefit that people 1719 01:34:52.159 --> 01:34:53.439 can wrap their heads around. 1720 01:34:54.680 --> 01:34:55.399 Yeah. Absolutely. 1721 01:34:55.479 --> 01:34:57.479 And look at Joe Biden's first thing that he did 1722 01:34:57.560 --> 01:35:00.159 when he came into office four years ago is he 1723 01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:02.319 canceled the Keystone Xcel pipeline. 1724 01:35:02.399 --> 01:35:02.640 Yeah. 1725 01:35:02.640 --> 01:35:05.000 Now, this is the pipeline from Canada to the US 1726 01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:08.359 that was going to bring eight hundred thousand barrels of 1727 01:35:08.399 --> 01:35:12.560 oil a day into this country. That would have, I 1728 01:35:12.600 --> 01:35:15.159 think prevented a lot of the inflation that we saw. 1729 01:35:15.199 --> 01:35:18.239 I wouldn't have prevented all of it, but again, energy 1730 01:35:18.279 --> 01:35:21.439 has tied to so many different things, and so it 1731 01:35:21.479 --> 01:35:23.920 was a huge mistake by Joe Biden. And you know, 1732 01:35:24.039 --> 01:35:26.000 and you're right when Trump says he wants to bring 1733 01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:28.880 down inflation. That's the key to it. I think that's 1734 01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:30.800 the foundation of it. And there's a lot more to do, 1735 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:32.199 but it's a great start. 1736 01:35:32.159 --> 01:35:32.520 It is. 1737 01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:35.199 And you know, the other ridiculous component of that, you know, 1738 01:35:35.800 --> 01:35:39.359 is shutting down the building of the Keystone pipeline that 1739 01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:42.439 just creates has more pollution. The Canada was not going 1740 01:35:42.479 --> 01:35:44.600 to stop drilling. They were pulling it, going to extract 1741 01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:46.680 that stuff out of the ground and put it into 1742 01:35:46.720 --> 01:35:49.880 the world for consumption, regardless of whether the Keystone pipeline 1743 01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:51.800 exists or not. So what do they do instead of 1744 01:35:51.840 --> 01:35:54.199 the pipeline. They put it on to two trains, right, 1745 01:35:54.279 --> 01:35:56.920 which run by diesel last time I checked. So you're 1746 01:35:56.960 --> 01:36:01.600 belching on additional carbon and into the atmosphere because of 1747 01:36:01.640 --> 01:36:03.920 the mechanism they used to ship it. It didn't stop 1748 01:36:03.960 --> 01:36:06.720 the project or the use. It just stopped. It's the 1749 01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:08.720 vehicle by which it was shipped. And if certainly a 1750 01:36:08.760 --> 01:36:11.479 pipeline is far more efficient and more environmentally sound than 1751 01:36:11.520 --> 01:36:13.199 put them on railroad cars. 1752 01:36:14.520 --> 01:36:17.840 Yeah, absolutely, And it was just frustrating to see such 1753 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:21.319 short sightedness in the Biden administration really on so many levels, 1754 01:36:21.319 --> 01:36:22.319 but especially energy. 1755 01:36:22.720 --> 01:36:24.840 Well, given the stop and start nature of that project, 1756 01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:26.800 I'll be surprised if they want to continue to go 1757 01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:28.840 forward with it, because if we don't keep this form 1758 01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:31.199 of administration, somebody down the road will stop it. 1759 01:36:31.720 --> 01:36:32.079 Anyway. 1760 01:36:32.199 --> 01:36:35.239 Hurry up and build it right anyway, Act while you 1761 01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:36.000 have a chance. 1762 01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:36.920 All right. 1763 01:36:36.960 --> 01:36:41.520 We need to keep the Trump tax cuts in place. 1764 01:36:41.520 --> 01:36:44.079 And I noted from your website again Protecting Taxpayers dot 1765 01:36:44.159 --> 01:36:47.560 Org right there on front countdown to expiring tax cuts. 1766 01:36:47.600 --> 01:36:50.880 Congress must act to protect consumers and businesses. It's going 1767 01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:52.800 to be a real problem for us if these tax 1768 01:36:52.840 --> 01:36:55.359 cuts expire. I've seen all kinds of horrific figures related 1769 01:36:55.359 --> 01:36:55.560 to this. 1770 01:36:56.880 --> 01:36:59.359 Yeah, I'm really concerned because I'm mean, look at the 1771 01:36:59.359 --> 01:37:03.439 marginal tax rates. Those were reduced in twenty seventeen, and 1772 01:37:03.800 --> 01:37:07.640 Congress has until the end of the year and they 1773 01:37:07.640 --> 01:37:09.640 are very slow. I don't know if you've noticed, is Brian, 1774 01:37:10.039 --> 01:37:13.239 the Congress tends to be very slow when they do things. 1775 01:37:13.359 --> 01:37:15.960 And I'm just concerned that the clock is going to 1776 01:37:16.079 --> 01:37:18.039 keep on ticking and we're going to get to October 1777 01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:20.760 and November and they're going to say, oh no, we 1778 01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:22.560 have to do something, and they're going to open up 1779 01:37:22.600 --> 01:37:24.600 the tax bill and they're going to put all sorts 1780 01:37:24.600 --> 01:37:27.279 of nonsense in it, and they're talking about one thing 1781 01:37:27.279 --> 01:37:31.960 in particular, is to raise the corporate tax rate. Huge mistake. 1782 01:37:32.079 --> 01:37:34.800 Right now, the corporate tax rate is at twenty one percent, 1783 01:37:35.279 --> 01:37:37.479 and as far as the rest of the world, it's 1784 01:37:37.560 --> 01:37:40.279 somewhat competitive. It's not the lowest, but it's a lot 1785 01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:43.640 better than forty percent than what we had in twenty seventeen. 1786 01:37:43.920 --> 01:37:47.039 And if they use that as a negotiating tool, oh 1787 01:37:47.159 --> 01:37:49.720 goodness gracious. I mean, if they increase it to twenty 1788 01:37:49.720 --> 01:37:52.319 five or twenty eight percent the corporate tax rate, it's 1789 01:37:52.359 --> 01:37:55.920 really going to have a massive effect on business. Therefore, 1790 01:37:55.960 --> 01:37:57.399 so that I have a lot of effect on the 1791 01:37:57.439 --> 01:38:00.439 economy in this country. So I just get this done 1792 01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:03.039 and do it the right way, and don't wait till 1793 01:38:03.039 --> 01:38:03.920 the last minute. 1794 01:38:04.039 --> 01:38:05.680 Well, they always wait to the last minute for a 1795 01:38:05.760 --> 01:38:08.720 variety of reasons, Dave. And you know, my question has 1796 01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:12.520 always been why didn't they make the tax cut permanent? 1797 01:38:12.800 --> 01:38:15.439 And if another Congress down the road wants to raise taxes, 1798 01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:18.439 force them to go through the legislative process to do it. 1799 01:38:19.760 --> 01:38:23.600 And that's exactly what we argued in twenty seventeen, is 1800 01:38:23.840 --> 01:38:27.399 make these tax cuts permanent. And of course they didn't, 1801 01:38:27.439 --> 01:38:30.119 and here we are. You know, Congress never sees the 1802 01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:32.600 five or six or ten years down the road. They 1803 01:38:32.640 --> 01:38:35.560 always look at the present and you know, let mean 1804 01:38:35.560 --> 01:38:38.000 look at Medicare and Social Security that are going bank 1805 01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:41.279 dropt they're saying, don't worry, that's you know, that's twenty 1806 01:38:41.359 --> 01:38:44.000 years you know down the road. Oh well, now it's 1807 01:38:44.039 --> 01:38:46.760 ten years down the road. It's five years. I mean 1808 01:38:46.840 --> 01:38:50.439 it's coming up. And Congress is never prepared for any 1809 01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:52.840 of this. And it's not as if they don't have 1810 01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:56.800 the information. They've had this information for decades and it's 1811 01:38:56.880 --> 01:38:58.760 just they've refused to do anything about it. 1812 01:38:59.000 --> 01:39:01.479 Yeah, well they check their fund and Bloonney jobs.

Jay six Pardon is going to join the 1829 01:39:50.880 --> 01:39:52.479 program at eight o five, so I'm looking forward to 1830 01:39:52.479 --> 01:39:54.359 having him back on. Of course, Jay Ratliff coming up 1831 01:39:54.359 --> 01:39:57.399 in one hour. In the meantime, QC Kinetics get rid 1832 01:39:57.399 --> 01:40:00.000 of your pain, at least talk to them about it, 1833 01:40:00.079 --> 01:40:02.000 because a lot of people struggling and dealing with on 1834 01:40:02.039 --> 01:40:04.439 a day to data basis arthritic pain like knee pain, 1835 01:40:04.560 --> 01:40:08.199 hip pain. And you probably have done the steroid injections, 1836 01:40:08.239 --> 01:40:10.800 You probably had pain medications, and maybe you've talked with 1837 01:40:10.840 --> 01:40:13.680 your doctor about surgery. Think of the downtime, the risk 1838 01:40:13.760 --> 01:40:16.039 associated with surgery. You know, there's a lot of reasons 1839 01:40:16.039 --> 01:40:19.880 to consider calling QC Kinetics to find out if natural 1840 01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:23.199 regenerative therapies are the way to go.

My friend, 1884 01:42:27.960 --> 01:42:28.520 always good to. 1885 01:42:28.520 --> 01:42:28.880 Have you on. 1886 01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:31.399 Brian glad to be here. 1887 01:42:31.760 --> 01:42:34.159 Well, and you got a shot of adrenaline to a 1888 01:42:34.239 --> 01:42:37.600 reform energy policy in Ohio. After the Donald Trump announcements 1889 01:42:37.880 --> 01:42:40.239 pulled us out of the Paris Accord, all of the 1890 01:42:40.239 --> 01:42:44.439 above energy strategy, which means all of the above we 1891 01:42:44.479 --> 01:42:47.239 get rid of the ev mandate, which is just ridiculous, 1892 01:42:47.319 --> 01:42:51.479 and probably the end of green subsidies because he put 1893 01:42:51.479 --> 01:42:54.079 a halt to the green projects under the Inflation Reduction Act, 1894 01:42:54.079 --> 01:42:57.520 which it wasn't. This is positive, positive steps in the 1895 01:42:57.560 --> 01:43:00.640 right direction to lower our energy bills and create energy independence, 1896 01:43:00.680 --> 01:43:01.000 is it not? 1897 01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:03.960 It absolutely is. 1898 01:43:04.039 --> 01:43:06.760 From what President Trump has done in the first forty 1899 01:43:06.760 --> 01:43:09.399 eight hours in the White House to what you know 1900 01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:12.000 the Republican majorities in Congress have indicated are going to 1901 01:43:12.000 --> 01:43:16.039 be top priorities, down to what leadership here in Columbus, 1902 01:43:16.079 --> 01:43:18.880 here in Ohio and the House and Senate have indicated 1903 01:43:18.920 --> 01:43:22.399 as top priorities when it comes to energy. This is great, Brian, 1904 01:43:22.399 --> 01:43:24.000 because this is what we had heard when we were 1905 01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:25.760 out there on the doors we were doing all these 1906 01:43:25.760 --> 01:43:29.199 gas station price rollback events and other things last year 1907 01:43:29.239 --> 01:43:32.680 talking to folks around the state of Ohio. People are 1908 01:43:32.720 --> 01:43:35.079 feeling the pain in a lot of ways, but energy 1909 01:43:35.760 --> 01:43:37.800 and the rise and cost energy is one of them. 1910 01:43:37.840 --> 01:43:39.960 And we're excited to see so many of our leaders 1911 01:43:40.399 --> 01:43:43.720 taking this up as a top priority early in the 1912 01:43:43.800 --> 01:43:45.000 legislative calendar this year. 1913 01:43:45.119 --> 01:43:47.760 Yeah, as I observed earlier in our discussions with the 1914 01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:53.239 other folks. You know, this is one profoundly concrete example 1915 01:43:53.359 --> 01:43:57.000 of how we can lower the inflation rate, lower the 1916 01:43:57.039 --> 01:43:59.880 prices of goods and service because everything we eat and 1917 01:44:00.079 --> 01:44:03.560 consume is of course shipped somewhere by a semi tractor trailer, 1918 01:44:04.159 --> 01:44:06.520 and you have to have energy keep the lights on. 1919 01:44:06.600 --> 01:44:08.760 The electricity bill has been going through the roof because 1920 01:44:08.760 --> 01:44:11.720 of these great, ridiculous green energy subsidies which do nothing 1921 01:44:11.800 --> 01:44:16.319 to increase efficiencies or provide more electricity, just divert precious 1922 01:44:16.399 --> 01:44:21.640 dollar resources to chasing our tail carbon reduction projects. I mean, 1923 01:44:22.840 --> 01:44:26.720 it's it's going to lower our energy bills. It's period, 1924 01:44:26.800 --> 01:44:28.640 end of story. I don't think anybody can argue against 1925 01:44:28.680 --> 01:44:32.680 that from an economic standpoint. You know, more supply cheaper, 1926 01:44:33.000 --> 01:44:34.359 it's going to be cheaper. 1927 01:44:35.520 --> 01:44:37.439 Well, and that's yeah. So we put out a study 1928 01:44:37.439 --> 01:44:40.960 actually yesterday alongside the Buckeye Institute to lay out some 1929 01:44:41.520 --> 01:44:45.520 principles six principles in particular that lawmakers here in the 1930 01:44:45.560 --> 01:44:47.520 state of Ohio. I think these things apply to the 1931 01:44:47.520 --> 01:44:49.479 federal government as well, but we're targeting the state of 1932 01:44:49.479 --> 01:44:53.039 Ohio with this report that really will get to the 1933 01:44:53.079 --> 01:44:55.640 heart of free market energy solutions. What we want to 1934 01:44:55.680 --> 01:44:59.880 see as an abundance approach to energy policy making, where 1935 01:44:59.880 --> 01:45:02.720 we increase the supply of energy. We're rather than trying 1936 01:45:02.760 --> 01:45:06.600 to find different gimmicks or subsidies or other other goofy 1937 01:45:06.640 --> 01:45:10.600 mechanisms to try to bring relief because they don't work. 1938 01:45:10.640 --> 01:45:13.359 They haven't worked for years. It's time that we embrace 1939 01:45:13.399 --> 01:45:17.399 the free market and an abundance supply for energy policy making. 1940 01:45:17.680 --> 01:45:21.640 Well, are you Americans for Prosperity and the Buckeye Institute 1941 01:45:21.680 --> 01:45:24.640 also pushing and I hope the answer is yes, nuclear 1942 01:45:24.720 --> 01:45:28.640 plants because that's one thing that would generate an abundance 1943 01:45:28.640 --> 01:45:29.479 of electricity. 1944 01:45:31.000 --> 01:45:31.239 Yeah. 1945 01:45:31.279 --> 01:45:34.119 I mean, it's a great form of reliable energy, right, Brian. 1946 01:45:34.159 --> 01:45:36.119 And that's really what we need, is we need energy 1947 01:45:36.119 --> 01:45:38.039 that you can also call. 1948 01:45:37.920 --> 01:45:38.840 Up on demand. 1949 01:45:38.920 --> 01:45:40.760 Right as we have these spikes, so you have these 1950 01:45:41.119 --> 01:45:43.800 cold blasts like we just experienced, we may need a 1951 01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:47.039 little more energy and so absolutely nuclear is part of 1952 01:45:47.039 --> 01:45:49.119 that picture. Indiana, I don't know if you saw this, 1953 01:45:49.159 --> 01:45:51.399 but Mike Brawn just announced they're putting one of those 1954 01:45:51.399 --> 01:45:54.600 modular nuclear facilities, and I believe out there talking to 1955 01:45:54.640 --> 01:45:57.960 my colleague in the Indiana AFP chapter about that yesterday. 1956 01:45:57.760 --> 01:46:00.000 It stuff happening, Brian, we need to embrace it. 1957 01:46:00.159 --> 01:46:02.520 Well, we need to embrace it. You know that that's wonderful. 1958 01:46:02.560 --> 01:46:04.560 But why does Indiana get to pave the way? Why 1959 01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:06.399 can't we do it? I mean, can we take a 1960 01:46:06.439 --> 01:46:08.520 queue from the front. Can we take a queue from 1961 01:46:08.560 --> 01:46:11.560 the French? I mean the French are They have a 1962 01:46:11.600 --> 01:46:14.239 ton of nuclear plants, so much so that Germany, which 1963 01:46:14.279 --> 01:46:16.960 cut its own throat, the former economic powerhouse of the 1964 01:46:16.960 --> 01:46:19.039 European Union, trying to rely on the sun and the 1965 01:46:19.079 --> 01:46:22.560 wind to generate power. Guess what, the sign ain't shine 1966 01:46:22.560 --> 01:46:24.159 and the wind ain't blowing right now. They had to 1967 01:46:24.680 --> 01:46:28.880 tap into France's abundance of energy to keep their lights 1968 01:46:28.920 --> 01:46:31.159 on in Germany. I mean, come on, we can't learn 1969 01:46:31.199 --> 01:46:32.560 the lessons from these folks. 1970 01:46:34.079 --> 01:46:36.279 Well, I mean, that's that's absolutely part of it. Well, 1971 01:46:36.279 --> 01:46:38.800 when you think about the onshoreing talking internationally now, right, 1972 01:46:38.840 --> 01:46:40.359 you know, if we're going to try to bring these 1973 01:46:40.359 --> 01:46:45.159 manufacturing jobs back to the United States, those don't run 1974 01:46:45.199 --> 01:46:48.039 on faery, dust and hopes and dreams, right, Those factories 1975 01:46:48.119 --> 01:46:52.880 take a lot of power to operate. Manufacturers need cheap, affordable, 1976 01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:56.600 reliable energy in order to create their facility to open 1977 01:46:56.600 --> 01:46:58.680 their facilities up and create the jobs that so many 1978 01:46:58.720 --> 01:47:01.960 Americans are hungry for. That only comes with good free 1979 01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:05.399 market energy policy that will embrace abundance in our energy. 1980 01:47:05.359 --> 01:47:06.520 Sector rather than. 1981 01:47:08.000 --> 01:47:11.359 An over reliance on unreliable storm sources of energy. 1982 01:47:11.560 --> 01:47:14.359 And if you can demonstrate that you have a underscore 1983 01:47:14.359 --> 01:47:18.279 of the word reliable energy source that produces an electricity 1984 01:47:18.319 --> 01:47:21.520 at less or less money, and you have generally energy 1985 01:47:21.520 --> 01:47:23.600 policies in this country or most notably even just the 1986 01:47:23.600 --> 01:47:27.079 state of Ohio that allow for a cheaper energy bill, 1987 01:47:27.680 --> 01:47:31.479 that is going to be a magnet for global corporations 1988 01:47:31.479 --> 01:47:33.319 to want to come here and settle down. I mean, 1989 01:47:34.119 --> 01:47:36.880 we obviously are far more competitive than the European Union 1990 01:47:36.920 --> 01:47:39.680 when it comes to this stuff. The door's open, the 1991 01:47:39.720 --> 01:47:41.239 water's warm, come on in. 1992 01:47:42.840 --> 01:47:46.199 Yeah, well that's something you know. Senate President Rob McCauley had. 1993 01:47:46.319 --> 01:47:48.079 I've had the opportunity to hear him speak about some 1994 01:47:48.159 --> 01:47:51.039 of the some of his vision for this legislative session, 1995 01:47:51.439 --> 01:47:53.079 And when he talks about energy, that's sort of the 1996 01:47:53.159 --> 01:47:55.880 vision he's casting here, which is, look, we're sitting on 1997 01:47:55.920 --> 01:47:59.319 an abundance of a great natural resource. We are, you 1998 01:47:59.319 --> 01:47:59.720 know that. 1999 01:47:59.680 --> 01:48:00.800 Being natural gas. 2000 01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:06.119 We have a steady, reliable political or environment here, right, 2001 01:48:06.159 --> 01:48:09.319 and that we've got conservative leadership in the House, the Senate, 2002 01:48:09.760 --> 01:48:12.840 and the governor's mansion where we ought to be able 2003 01:48:12.920 --> 01:48:15.119 to You know, Republicans tend to be the party of 2004 01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:17.720 free markets and abundance, right, so we want to bring 2005 01:48:17.960 --> 01:48:19.439 we have to be able to bring these jobs here. 2006 01:48:19.479 --> 01:48:21.199 We have to be able to have folks who want 2007 01:48:21.199 --> 01:48:24.000 to cite their projects here have the comfort of knowing 2008 01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:26.439 that their projects will still be viable ten years down 2009 01:48:26.479 --> 01:48:29.159 the road. Where in states like New York or New Jersey, 2010 01:48:29.159 --> 01:48:31.880 where they're very progressive, right Brian, they're going to maybe 2011 01:48:31.920 --> 01:48:34.159 pull the rug out from under a natural gas facility, 2012 01:48:34.159 --> 01:48:36.319 and so there's no desire to invest there. We can 2013 01:48:36.359 --> 01:48:38.359 do that here on I. We can invest in that energy, 2014 01:48:39.119 --> 01:48:40.880 we can bring those jobs to the state, and we 2015 01:48:40.920 --> 01:48:42.720 can make some really great things happen over. 2016 01:48:42.560 --> 01:48:43.399 The next decade. 2017 01:48:43.560 --> 01:48:45.319 And all it takes is getting out of the way. 2018 01:48:45.399 --> 01:48:48.840 I mean, nothing causes more energy to be more expensive 2019 01:48:48.840 --> 01:48:53.000 than government regulations. I mean the edicts and mandates in 2020 01:48:53.039 --> 01:48:57.520 pursuit of this impossible to catch carbon elimination. It's only 2021 01:48:57.600 --> 01:49:01.920 because of that that we have high energy bills. It's 2022 01:49:02.159 --> 01:49:04.760 just we Again, I always go back to it's we're 2023 01:49:04.760 --> 01:49:07.439 cutting our own throat. We're making our lives miserable just 2024 01:49:07.439 --> 01:49:09.800 because someone waved a pen and signed a piece of 2025 01:49:09.880 --> 01:49:12.720 legislation forcing people to do something the otherwise wouldn't do. 2026 01:49:14.439 --> 01:49:14.720 Well. 2027 01:49:14.800 --> 01:49:17.119 Yeah, And I mean one of the most recent examples 2028 01:49:17.159 --> 01:49:19.960 of that was in the Inflation Reduction Act. Part of 2029 01:49:20.000 --> 01:49:24.399 the requirements there around coal were to implement so called 2030 01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:28.600 clean coal technologies that don't even actually exist or viable 2031 01:49:28.680 --> 01:49:32.680 right now, and so facto killing a form of energy 2032 01:49:32.720 --> 01:49:37.319 production by creating an unachievable bar for this industry of meat. 2033 01:49:37.359 --> 01:49:40.319 And that's two principles that we drive that here in 2034 01:49:40.479 --> 01:49:43.720 this report with the Bucket Institute. Was ending subsidies that 2035 01:49:43.840 --> 01:49:47.920 hide the real cost of energy right yep, or distort 2036 01:49:47.920 --> 01:49:50.720 the energy market. And then also getting to making sure 2037 01:49:50.760 --> 01:49:55.239 environmental policies actually promote well being rather than desired public 2038 01:49:55.279 --> 01:49:57.079 policy outcomes or favorite interests. 2039 01:49:57.159 --> 01:49:57.359 Right. 2040 01:49:58.199 --> 01:49:59.520 We do those some of those. 2041 01:49:59.359 --> 01:50:01.800 Things, we're going to have a better product. We're going 2042 01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:04.800 to have and when we're going to get that energy 2043 01:50:04.800 --> 01:50:06.600 we need at the price that it ought to be. 2044 01:50:06.920 --> 01:50:09.920 Well, and as you noted earlier, the Republicans control Columbus 2045 01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:13.439 and ergo which direction we go in? Do the Republicans 2046 01:50:13.439 --> 01:50:16.039 have the will to take on these challenges in the 2047 01:50:16.039 --> 01:50:18.600 face of the Greta thunbirds of the world frowning and 2048 01:50:19.399 --> 01:50:20.920 waving their finger at them. 2049 01:50:22.279 --> 01:50:25.920 I think they would do it gleefully. Brian, Well, the 2050 01:50:26.239 --> 01:50:28.399 early signals are. I think what we'll see later today 2051 01:50:28.439 --> 01:50:31.000 actually is there will be a press conference I believe 2052 01:50:31.119 --> 01:50:31.880 is happening today. 2053 01:50:32.520 --> 01:50:33.760 It's supposed happening yesterday. 2054 01:50:33.760 --> 01:50:39.399 It might happen today from the House introducing their energy legislation. 2055 01:50:39.439 --> 01:50:41.159 We haven't seen the details of it yet, but from 2056 01:50:41.199 --> 01:50:43.119 what we hear, it should be very much in the 2057 01:50:43.199 --> 01:50:44.439 vein of what we're talking about. 2058 01:50:44.600 --> 01:50:44.760 Good. 2059 01:50:45.079 --> 01:50:46.199 The Senate has. 2060 01:50:46.039 --> 01:50:49.960 Already introduced a placeholder bill with the Senator Ryanikey from 2061 01:50:49.960 --> 01:50:54.039 North central Ohio, Senate Bill two, and that will be 2062 01:50:54.159 --> 01:50:56.359 the Senate we're told that will be the Senates version 2063 01:50:56.800 --> 01:50:59.359 of energy legislation that'll get to the heart of a 2064 01:50:59.359 --> 01:51:01.960 lot of the problem we've been seeing. So there's already 2065 01:51:02.680 --> 01:51:05.079 movement in Columbus on tackling some of these things, and 2066 01:51:05.079 --> 01:51:07.560 I think we'll see some really exciting opportunities. 2067 01:51:07.640 --> 01:51:08.520 Oh, that's wonderful. 2068 01:51:08.520 --> 01:51:09.560 Well, you know you have a spot here in the 2069 01:51:09.560 --> 01:51:11.520 fifty five Cassey Morning Show to bring the details to 2070 01:51:11.560 --> 01:51:14.439 our attention. If something gets handed out that we can 2071 01:51:14.479 --> 01:51:17.600 all take a look at. And I'll remain cautiously optimistic 2072 01:51:17.680 --> 01:51:19.920 that I would think that Donald Trump has opened the 2073 01:51:19.960 --> 01:51:23.079 door to actually get something done. You know, he's on 2074 01:51:23.119 --> 01:51:25.239 board with this, so we should get on board with this. 2075 01:51:25.399 --> 01:51:27.920 And you can say it's consistent with the federal government's 2076 01:51:27.920 --> 01:51:30.640 policy on energy all the above strategy. We need efficient, 2077 01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:32.319 we need reliable, and that's what we're going to do 2078 01:51:32.319 --> 01:51:34.800 here in Ohio. And let's be the first state to 2079 01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:39.319 embrace this, get back ahead of Indiana. 2080 01:51:39.399 --> 01:51:41.399 It's why we put this report out. 2081 01:51:41.399 --> 01:51:44.800 We wanted to be able to give lawmakers the foundational 2082 01:51:44.840 --> 01:51:47.000 principles to be able to go out and do the 2083 01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:49.520 hard work of policymaking, legislating, but do it in the 2084 01:51:49.600 --> 01:51:52.399 right way, not in the way they've been doing it 2085 01:51:52.439 --> 01:51:53.640 for the past couple decades. 2086 01:51:53.760 --> 01:51:55.600 Dave Foy Part Company this morning, I can't thank you 2087 01:51:55.680 --> 01:51:59.079 enough for bringing this to our attention, our meeting me 2088 01:51:59.199 --> 01:52:04.079 and my collective list office, not the Royal weed. Is 2089 01:52:04.119 --> 01:52:06.359 there someplace or is there anything my listeners can do? 2090 01:52:06.399 --> 01:52:08.359 To try to advance this. We just wait and keep 2091 01:52:08.359 --> 01:52:10.960 our powder dry until the legislation gets rolled out. And 2092 01:52:11.119 --> 01:52:13.600 if there is any of the above, what's the website 2093 01:52:13.600 --> 01:52:15.239 we should consult to get the details on what you 2094 01:52:15.279 --> 01:52:15.880 guys are doing. 2095 01:52:16.840 --> 01:52:19.159 Yeah, well, actually, go visit our friends at the Buckeye 2096 01:52:19.199 --> 01:52:20.960 Institute Buckeyeinstitute dot com. 2097 01:52:21.000 --> 01:52:21.760 Go visit them. 2098 01:52:22.119 --> 01:52:24.439 This report I've been talking about through the show is 2099 01:52:24.479 --> 01:52:27.399 available there. We developed it because we want more people 2100 01:52:27.399 --> 01:52:29.680 to be able to understand the past twenty five years 2101 01:52:29.720 --> 01:52:31.640 of energy policy making that sort of got us where 2102 01:52:31.640 --> 01:52:34.319 we are today, but then also have some principles they 2103 01:52:34.359 --> 01:52:36.680 can embrace and take to their lawmakers and encourage them 2104 01:52:37.000 --> 01:52:40.840 to apply these principles like ending subsidies or you know 2105 01:52:40.920 --> 01:52:43.760 the environmental overrease that's happening in our country today. Go 2106 01:52:43.840 --> 01:52:46.800 to Buckeyeinstitute dot com. Check them out, check out their report, 2107 01:52:46.840 --> 01:52:48.199 and let us know what you think about it. 2108 01:52:48.359 --> 01:52:50.359 Dave Williams can thank you enough for the details and 2109 01:52:50.359 --> 01:52:51.880 the information. I'll look forward to having you back on 2110 01:52:51.880 --> 01:52:55.000 the program really soon. Keep up the great work. Thanks 2111 01:52:55.000 --> 01:52:57.319 Brian seven forty one at fifty five care see de 2112 01:52:57.479 --> 01:52:59.960 talk station and get in touch with cover since the 2113 01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:02.880 team of cover Sincy for cheaper, less expensive I should 2114 01:53:02.920 --> 01:53:07.239 say medical insurance with dollar one coverage. You know, it's 2115 01:53:07.239 --> 01:53:09.359 never too late to consult the experts that cover Sincy 2116 01:53:09.399 --> 01:53:11.479 about your medical insurance because you're paying too much. I 2117 01:53:11.479 --> 01:53:15.960 can pretty much definitively stay that as your broker. They 2118 01:53:16.039 --> 01:53:19.760 work for you and they have your best interest in minds. 2119 01:53:19.760 --> 01:53:21.880 If you like a financial planner, they have to keep 2120 01:53:21.880 --> 01:53:24.680 you in mind fiduciary obligations. What they're doing is working 2121 01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:28.039 with insurance companies, a couple of hundred of them, and 2122 01:53:28.039 --> 01:53:31.119 they have access to thousands of different insurance policies. There's 2123 01:53:31.119 --> 01:53:33.359 a multitude of types of medical insurance out there. Allows 2124 01:53:33.399 --> 01:53:36.760 them to layer policies so you have different policies for 2125 01:53:36.840 --> 01:53:39.079 different experiences like the you know, the run of the 2126 01:53:39.079 --> 01:53:45.279 mill physician checkup or the catastrophic hospitals stay. You won't 2127 01:53:45.279 --> 01:53:48.279 have the massive out of pocket reliability that you currently have. 2128 01:53:48.399 --> 01:53:50.920 Couples under sixty five save in between five thousand and 2129 01:53:50.960 --> 01:53:53.520 a thousand, five and one thousand dollars a month with 2130 01:53:53.600 --> 01:53:59.319 better coverage. That's absolutely true. And if you're a small business, 2131 01:53:59.359 --> 01:54:02.119 I cannot in encourage you enough to just call the 2132 01:54:02.159 --> 01:54:04.680 team up. Have him take a look at where you are. 2133 01:54:04.720 --> 01:54:07.000 You can have better employee retention. And even if you're 2134 01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:10.640 a situation where your employees cannot afford medical insurance, they 2135 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:13.079 will be I can say that with confidence. I've talked 2136 01:54:13.119 --> 01:54:15.359 to John Romans so many times. We do a Sunday 2137 01:54:15.359 --> 01:54:18.680 morning segment on medical insurance, and he has opened my 2138 01:54:18.880 --> 01:54:22.479 eyes to the multitude of different ways that most insurance 2139 01:54:22.560 --> 01:54:25.600 brokers or agents out there don't even know about. It's 2140 01:54:25.640 --> 01:54:27.800 just amazing what he and his team can do.

He'll address 2170 01:56:11.439 --> 01:56:15.239 his comments about his well not being real. Thrilled with 2171 01:56:15.279 --> 01:56:18.239 Donald Trump's pardoning of the Jay six ers, because of 2172 01:56:18.279 --> 01:56:22.680 course some police were injured. But it's a little murky 2173 01:56:22.680 --> 01:56:24.760 on the details on that, and as I was looking 2174 01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:27.279 into the fun facts related to those, how many really 2175 01:56:27.319 --> 01:56:30.279 did die? A lot of them committed There were four suicides. 2176 01:56:31.000 --> 01:56:34.319 Four police officers committed suicide, not at the event minding, 2177 01:56:34.359 --> 01:56:37.600 but in the days and months after the riot, And 2178 01:56:38.239 --> 01:56:44.079 they keep attributing these suicides to the event itself. So 2179 01:56:44.640 --> 01:56:48.159 one I saw this report on it, Police officer Jeffrey Smith, 2180 01:56:48.199 --> 01:56:51.720 thirty five years old, the reportedly injured in the riots, 2181 01:56:51.840 --> 01:56:54.439 committed suicide. His wife talking to The Washington Post that 2182 01:56:54.479 --> 01:56:58.720 her husband related her the fear and panickey experience the 2183 01:56:58.800 --> 01:57:00.680 day of the assault in the Capitol, and he was 2184 01:57:00.720 --> 01:57:03.840 afraid he might die. Well, pause and think, what is 2185 01:57:04.119 --> 01:57:07.199 a police officer's job. I'm not going to excuse the 2186 01:57:07.239 --> 01:57:13.560 stupidity of so many the Jay sixers or the behavior 2187 01:57:13.720 --> 01:57:17.359 of some of them, not all of them, But that's 2188 01:57:17.399 --> 01:57:24.600 the nature of your job. Any given day of the week, 2189 01:57:24.640 --> 01:57:26.880 as a police officer, you may very well be facing 2190 01:57:27.159 --> 01:57:29.640 one angry mob. I go back to thinking about the 2191 01:57:29.640 --> 01:57:31.840 BLM riots and the anti file and all that kind 2192 01:57:31.880 --> 01:57:34.279 of stuff. Yeah, I bet there's some officers that were 2193 01:57:34.279 --> 01:57:36.119 a little fearful of their life after they got blown 2194 01:57:36.199 --> 01:57:40.359 up with firework explosions and bombs and frozen water bottles? 2195 01:57:41.000 --> 01:57:42.159 Would you want to get up and go to work 2196 01:57:42.159 --> 01:57:48.880 after something like that? The defund the police movement. My 2197 01:57:48.960 --> 01:57:50.600 sister told me the story of an officer who lived 2198 01:57:50.600 --> 01:57:53.439 down and over the Rhine could not wear her uniform 2199 01:57:53.560 --> 01:57:57.319 going to work because of the angry screams and calls 2200 01:57:57.760 --> 01:58:01.000 against the police department. Her job is to protect and 2201 01:58:01.079 --> 01:58:02.960 serve the very people that are yelling at her and 2202 01:58:03.359 --> 01:58:11.199 belittling her with well some pretty foul language. So yeah, sorry, 2203 01:58:11.239 --> 01:58:14.560 but some people are not up to the challenge. And 2204 01:58:14.600 --> 01:58:16.880 I feel badly for any family had to deal with 2205 01:58:16.880 --> 01:58:18.720 a suicide, and I feel terribly for people who are 2206 01:58:18.720 --> 01:58:21.760 struggling with mental health issues such as they have suicidal ideation. 2207 01:58:21.920 --> 01:58:25.840 But you know, I don't think you can draw the 2208 01:58:25.880 --> 01:58:27.880 line from point A to point B on that there's 2209 01:58:27.920 --> 01:58:31.000 something wrong with the person who would commit suicide for 2210 01:58:31.159 --> 01:58:34.199 literally engaging in the activity that they signed up for 2211 01:58:34.319 --> 01:58:38.239 and chose as a career patriot, true patriot, Jeff, welcome 2212 01:58:38.239 --> 01:58:39.840 to the program. It's always good to hear from you. 2213 01:58:41.079 --> 01:58:44.880 Hey, Brian. As always, you and Enjoy are true patriots, Buddy. 2214 01:58:44.960 --> 01:58:46.760 I love hearing that man what's on your mind today. 2215 01:58:47.840 --> 01:58:51.920 Well, it's it's like what you were saying, it's it really, 2216 01:58:52.239 --> 01:58:57.640 really really upsets me when people are full of hypocrisy. 2217 01:58:58.119 --> 01:59:00.720 As far as you and I know, as as far 2218 01:59:00.760 --> 01:59:04.479 as I've known for decades, the Democrats have always been 2219 01:59:04.680 --> 01:59:09.359 the party of we should let a thousand people go 2220 01:59:10.119 --> 01:59:14.640 just to make sure we don't imprison an innocent person. 2221 01:59:15.000 --> 01:59:18.119 You know, they've always been that way. But here is 2222 01:59:19.079 --> 01:59:24.199 a blatant thing of you putting fifteen hundred people in 2223 01:59:24.359 --> 01:59:30.479 prison with no evidence whatsoever, no charges whatsoever, and yet 2224 01:59:30.920 --> 01:59:34.439 they're okay with that. But I get I was so 2225 01:59:34.720 --> 01:59:38.640 angry last night when I saw Anderson Cooper sitting there 2226 01:59:38.720 --> 01:59:42.880 all blatantly well, I found these ones and twos, and 2227 01:59:43.359 --> 01:59:46.640 I found this one person that they did this horrible thing. 2228 01:59:46.680 --> 01:59:48.640 And I saw this one person that they did this 2229 01:59:48.680 --> 01:59:52.560 horrible thing. And I'm sit here thinking fifteen hundred people 2230 01:59:52.640 --> 01:59:56.720 had to pay for that, And then I looked at 2231 01:59:56.720 --> 02:00:00.840 of course, when Tucker came out with the actual videos 2232 02:00:00.920 --> 02:00:05.319 that they didn't show us, that didn't show people breaking 2233 02:00:05.399 --> 02:00:08.199 and attacking officers. No, they showed people walking down the 2234 02:00:08.239 --> 02:00:13.479 halls of the capital being so honored with the even 2235 02:00:13.560 --> 02:00:16.279 being in the building. They were picking up paper on 2236 02:00:16.359 --> 02:00:20.720 the floor and picking up cards and reorganizing them and 2237 02:00:20.760 --> 02:00:25.159 putting them back on deaths and people taking selfies in 2238 02:00:25.199 --> 02:00:29.239 front of different rooms and different items in the I mean, 2239 02:00:29.479 --> 02:00:34.479 talk about a totally different thing we were told happened. 2240 02:00:35.039 --> 02:00:42.239 And yet here's fifteen hundred people, citizens of the country 2241 02:00:42.560 --> 02:00:45.880 in their own house and they had to be put 2242 02:00:45.920 --> 02:00:52.560 in prison for up to three years. I can't even imagine. 2243 02:00:52.840 --> 02:00:56.520 I can't even imagine. And they did have a single 2244 02:00:56.600 --> 02:01:00.880 person that committed suicide and they're waiting to be charged, 2245 02:01:01.279 --> 02:01:05.479 and his family literally said he willingly finally broke down 2246 02:01:05.520 --> 02:01:09.119 and said, yes, I'm guilty of breaking into the building. 2247 02:01:09.199 --> 02:01:11.359 Yes I'm guilty of this. Yes I'm guilty of that. 2248 02:01:11.760 --> 02:01:16.199 Please charge me and start me on my punishment. And 2249 02:01:16.239 --> 02:01:18.760 they never did, and so he just killed himself. And 2250 02:01:18.760 --> 02:01:22.520 I'm sitting there thinking, oh my god, I mean, how 2251 02:01:22.560 --> 02:01:28.079 do you explain this to anyone that you had fifteen 2252 02:01:28.479 --> 02:01:32.680 hundred people, maybe some that literally just showed up that 2253 02:01:32.800 --> 02:01:38.560 day to protest something they thought was wrong. Maybe they 2254 02:01:38.600 --> 02:01:40.960 were right, maybe they were wrong, but they just protested. 2255 02:01:41.079 --> 02:01:43.840 And then they walked into a building that maybe one 2256 02:01:43.920 --> 02:01:47.199 or two people broke windows in or broke doors open, 2257 02:01:47.760 --> 02:01:51.199 or honestly, the doors were unlocked and they were let in, 2258 02:01:51.800 --> 02:01:56.199 and you made them sit in a prison for three years. 2259 02:01:56.479 --> 02:01:58.920 Yeah, and I just real quick because we've got to go. Jeff, 2260 02:01:58.960 --> 02:02:00.680 I'm not going to disagree with most anything you said, 2261 02:02:00.680 --> 02:02:02.920 except I don't know that all fifteen hundred ended up 2262 02:02:02.920 --> 02:02:06.600 in jail. They were subject to prosecution. Trespass may have 2263 02:02:06.640 --> 02:02:09.039 been one of the lower level crimes that they committed, 2264 02:02:09.039 --> 02:02:13.039 but in legal jeopardy if not already prosecuted or put 2265 02:02:13.039 --> 02:02:16.399 into prison pending charges. Good point, Jeff, I always appreciate 2266 02:02:16.399 --> 02:02:18.640 hearing from you, brother, have a wonderful day.

It's pleasure to have you on the 2288 02:03:09.399 --> 02:03:10.000 program again. 2289 02:03:10.920 --> 02:03:12.319 Hey Brian, how are you? Thanks for having me. 2290 02:03:12.359 --> 02:03:14.680 I'm doing really well. I guess. 2291 02:03:14.760 --> 02:03:16.239 I don't know if you've got a near full or 2292 02:03:16.239 --> 02:03:18.560 people are supportive of what you said. I know you're 2293 02:03:19.359 --> 02:03:22.079 I believe your word was frustrated or you believe it's 2294 02:03:22.079 --> 02:03:25.800 frustrating that Donald Trump pardoned the pretty much all of 2295 02:03:25.840 --> 02:03:27.800 the J six rioters. 2296 02:03:29.560 --> 02:03:32.319 Can you explain why it is you. 2297 02:03:32.239 --> 02:03:35.039 Take that position, because you know, people look at Biden's 2298 02:03:35.079 --> 02:03:37.920 pardons of you know, all kinds of criminals of all sorts, 2299 02:03:38.600 --> 02:03:41.640 commutations of sentence, if not pardons outright, he did it 2300 02:03:41.760 --> 02:03:44.800 thousands of them before he left office. And I don't 2301 02:03:44.800 --> 02:03:47.560 know if Donald Trump just felt he was obligated to 2302 02:03:47.560 --> 02:03:49.720 pardon these folks. But I think many people in my 2303 02:03:49.800 --> 02:03:52.079 list in the audience believe that while there were some 2304 02:03:52.279 --> 02:03:54.600 violent people in there, and no one can excuse violence, 2305 02:03:54.640 --> 02:03:58.119 most notably against police officers, but that a lot of 2306 02:03:58.119 --> 02:04:01.119 them were being prosecuted or at least face prosecution for 2307 02:04:01.199 --> 02:04:03.640 something as simple as walking through the capital doors and 2308 02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:07.279 wandering around, which I think, under the circumstances, is a 2309 02:04:07.319 --> 02:04:10.560 reasonable thing to do. The thing got out of hand, 2310 02:04:10.680 --> 02:04:12.880 and I never was supportive of what was going on there. 2311 02:04:12.880 --> 02:04:14.640 I want you to be very clear on that, and 2312 02:04:14.680 --> 02:04:17.560 I do not support anyone being violent toward police officers. 2313 02:04:17.560 --> 02:04:19.960 My sister was a retired police officer. I wouldn't want 2314 02:04:19.960 --> 02:04:23.239 it happened to her. So what's your take on this, Ken. 2315 02:04:23.960 --> 02:04:25.720 Well, And that's where I think you have some things 2316 02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:28.720 that were said yesterday were completely misconstrued because I made 2317 02:04:28.720 --> 02:04:33.600 it very very clear what I spoke about was people 2318 02:04:33.640 --> 02:04:37.159 that assaulted police officers have no business being pardoned. The 2319 02:04:37.239 --> 02:04:40.880 rest of them, that's their business, that's politics, that's things 2320 02:04:40.920 --> 02:04:41.199 for them. 2321 02:04:41.239 --> 02:04:44.359 What I focus on is law enforcement. 2322 02:04:44.680 --> 02:04:46.680 And those that were getting you hit over the head 2323 02:04:46.680 --> 02:04:48.239 with metal bats and things like that. 2324 02:04:48.319 --> 02:04:50.239 Yeah, those folks shouldn't be pardoned. The rest of them. 2325 02:04:50.279 --> 02:04:52.199 You just walk through the Capitol and you have what 2326 02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:55.119 trespassing at best? Should they spend three and a half 2327 02:04:55.119 --> 02:04:58.640 four years in prison? Absolutely noted. But that's that's one 2328 02:04:58.680 --> 02:05:00.439 of the things that I focused on y today. Like 2329 02:05:00.479 --> 02:05:03.399 I said, maybe there was some misconstruing of words that 2330 02:05:03.439 --> 02:05:07.079 I said, but I focused narrowly on what the national 2331 02:05:07.119 --> 02:05:11.159 ethop stance was, which was those that assaulted law enforcement 2332 02:05:11.199 --> 02:05:12.399 officers that caused injuries. 2333 02:05:12.960 --> 02:05:14.640 It's disappointing that they would be pardoned. 2334 02:05:14.640 --> 02:05:18.039 The sweeping of just pardoning everybody, to me was frustrating, 2335 02:05:19.039 --> 02:05:20.159 primarily because you're. 2336 02:05:20.079 --> 02:05:22.720 Talking about all sins that were assaulted fair enough, and 2337 02:05:22.880 --> 02:05:25.439 I think that adequately responds to it. And I share 2338 02:05:25.560 --> 02:05:27.840 your position about no one who is violent toward a 2339 02:05:27.840 --> 02:05:30.960 police officer should be let off. I have no problem 2340 02:05:31.039 --> 02:05:33.920 with that because I think under any circumstance it is inappropriate. 2341 02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:39.520 But the problem with this conversation because it causes and 2342 02:05:39.520 --> 02:05:42.199 allows people to go off on a tangent. And I've 2343 02:05:42.199 --> 02:05:45.560 seen it mentioned of course, the Fox nineteen article which 2344 02:05:45.600 --> 02:05:48.680 is the genesis of this mentioned CNN said it also 2345 02:05:48.760 --> 02:05:50.960 led directly and indirectly to the deaths of four Trump 2346 02:05:51.000 --> 02:05:54.119 supporters and five police officers. Well, if you look behind 2347 02:05:54.119 --> 02:05:58.119 the veneer of that, yes, Officer sick Nick was struck 2348 02:05:58.159 --> 02:06:00.720 by a fire extinguisher, but the medical amner said he 2349 02:06:00.760 --> 02:06:03.359 did not die from that. He died of a stroke 2350 02:06:03.399 --> 02:06:05.439 after he went back to the building. He did not 2351 02:06:05.600 --> 02:06:08.520 die of blunt force trauma. And the other four officers said, 2352 02:06:08.560 --> 02:06:10.880 as it may be, died of suicide. And their families 2353 02:06:10.920 --> 02:06:13.840 claim it's because of the trauma they experienced having to 2354 02:06:13.880 --> 02:06:16.920 deal with a Capitol Hill drunken fraternity party and they 2355 02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:19.119 some of them were injured. But again, I'm not going 2356 02:06:19.159 --> 02:06:21.600 to excuse anybody being violence towards the police. But you know, Ken, 2357 02:06:21.680 --> 02:06:23.359 you signed up for the job. You knew what you 2358 02:06:23.359 --> 02:06:25.680 were in store for. And yeah, as a police officer 2359 02:06:25.760 --> 02:06:27.520 you might be in a situation where you got to 2360 02:06:27.560 --> 02:06:28.840 deal with riot control. 2361 02:06:30.119 --> 02:06:31.840 Oh, there's no doubt. I mean we've we've dealt with 2362 02:06:31.880 --> 02:06:33.920 in our careers. We saw it in twenty twenty here, 2363 02:06:33.960 --> 02:06:35.840 we saw it in two thousand and one. 2364 02:06:35.960 --> 02:06:37.159 It is part of the job. 2365 02:06:37.600 --> 02:06:41.159 Now, this is the hard part about policing, and you're right, 2366 02:06:41.159 --> 02:06:45.359 we all signed up for it. Is sometimes police officers 2367 02:06:45.439 --> 02:06:48.520 and certainly officers that have died. You know whether it 2368 02:06:48.680 --> 02:06:53.119 was directly related or not become political pawns. And unfortunately, 2369 02:06:53.119 --> 02:06:56.520 that's what's happened here as you have all these political 2370 02:06:56.600 --> 02:06:58.800 sides going back and forth and they decide, well, you 2371 02:06:58.840 --> 02:07:02.760 know what, let's try to exploit an officer who committed 2372 02:07:02.800 --> 02:07:05.600 suicide and let's just say, well, it's because of this. 2373 02:07:06.399 --> 02:07:09.520 And that's that's what's frustrating about this is, you. 2374 02:07:09.439 --> 02:07:12.600 Know, this is all just some political nonsense going on 2375 02:07:12.600 --> 02:07:14.600 on both sides, and cops end up getting stuck in 2376 02:07:14.600 --> 02:07:17.880 the middle. And that's that's unfortunate that that's how it is, 2377 02:07:17.920 --> 02:07:20.159 but it's a reality that we have to live with 2378 02:07:20.199 --> 02:07:20.640 every day. 2379 02:07:20.960 --> 02:07:23.359 Yeah, and I know that there are line of duty 2380 02:07:23.439 --> 02:07:25.880 benefits that are available, but my understanding is from the 2381 02:07:25.920 --> 02:07:28.560 folks that that did commit suicide trying to claim that 2382 02:07:28.600 --> 02:07:32.479 the suicides were proximately caused by the riots, either the 2383 02:07:32.520 --> 02:07:34.399 cases are still pending or some of them have been 2384 02:07:34.399 --> 02:07:37.439 denied saying no, this is not related to the riots. 2385 02:07:37.439 --> 02:07:41.800 It has no direct correlation, no proximate causation, ergo, no 2386 02:07:41.920 --> 02:07:42.960 death benefits allowed. 2387 02:07:44.199 --> 02:07:44.800 Do this insane? 2388 02:07:44.840 --> 02:07:47.680 Police department enjoy line of duty benefits if they are 2389 02:07:47.760 --> 02:07:49.920 injured or killed in the line of duty. 2390 02:07:51.119 --> 02:07:56.840 Yeah, absolutely, there's statewide benefits. There's also national benefits that 2391 02:07:56.920 --> 02:08:00.319 officers get, like Sunny Kim's family he was in the 2392 02:08:00.319 --> 02:08:03.720 line of duty back in twenty fifteen. There are benefits 2393 02:08:03.760 --> 02:08:07.000 that the family gets and sure to ensure that they're 2394 02:08:07.039 --> 02:08:10.319 taken care of. But it is a fine line, especially 2395 02:08:10.319 --> 02:08:13.720 when it's a death that occurs after the fact. You 2396 02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:16.640 know it's off duty. And we had a friend of 2397 02:08:16.680 --> 02:08:19.079 mine that was injured in the line of duty several 2398 02:08:19.159 --> 02:08:24.359 years ago, about eighteen months later, he ends up passing away. 2399 02:08:24.520 --> 02:08:27.199 You could probably draw that connection because he had a 2400 02:08:27.199 --> 02:08:29.680 pretty severe injury, but there's no proof of it. You 2401 02:08:29.680 --> 02:08:32.279 couldn't prove that this is exactly what it was related to. 2402 02:08:32.399 --> 02:08:34.520 And therefore you a family doesn't get benefits. 2403 02:08:34.600 --> 02:08:37.079 Well, cann of, you re missing my obligations to the police, 2404 02:08:37.119 --> 02:08:39.560 which I thoroughly support. If I didn't point out how 2405 02:08:39.600 --> 02:08:44.159 stressful the job is, I mean, I will never ever 2406 02:08:44.279 --> 02:08:46.720 forget the level of stress my sister was under when 2407 02:08:46.760 --> 02:08:48.520 she was working Special Crimes and had to deal with 2408 02:08:48.560 --> 02:08:51.039 all those child molesters. I mean having to go in 2409 02:08:51.079 --> 02:08:53.359 every day to the office and look at the horror 2410 02:08:53.399 --> 02:08:56.920 that those perverts commit on children. I mean talk about 2411 02:08:56.920 --> 02:09:00.199 a bubble burst and stress inducer. 2412 02:09:00.279 --> 02:09:01.000 Oh, there's no doubt. 2413 02:09:01.239 --> 02:09:02.560 You know, I spent four and a half years in 2414 02:09:02.600 --> 02:09:06.119 our fugitive unit, and you know we would go looking 2415 02:09:06.119 --> 02:09:09.600 for murders, rapists, robbers, all these people are shooting people. 2416 02:09:09.920 --> 02:09:12.520 The ones that affected me the most, the hardest ones 2417 02:09:12.520 --> 02:09:15.560 to go and arrest, or the pedophiles or the one 2418 02:09:15.600 --> 02:09:18.239 you know, sex crimes against kids, of violence against these 2419 02:09:18.239 --> 02:09:20.399 little kids. Those were the worst ones because that's the 2420 02:09:21.000 --> 02:09:23.760 father and me the human and death wants to just 2421 02:09:23.800 --> 02:09:26.520 take these people and just strangle them, but you can't. 2422 02:09:28.039 --> 02:09:30.239 Those were those were the by far the most difficult 2423 02:09:30.319 --> 02:09:31.279 ones for me to deal with. 2424 02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:33.560 I can imagine the other component to that. Then people 2425 02:09:33.640 --> 02:09:35.359 clut off and might not think about It's why I 2426 02:09:35.359 --> 02:09:40.319 bring it up, the purpose that you know are responsible 2427 02:09:40.399 --> 02:09:44.439 for molesting children, maybe in the process of ongoing molestation 2428 02:09:45.000 --> 02:09:47.960 while you're busy doing the evidence gathering, you know that 2429 02:09:48.520 --> 02:09:50.760 is still going on or could be still going on, 2430 02:09:50.840 --> 02:09:54.479 and you're sort of you can't do anything about it. God, 2431 02:09:54.560 --> 02:09:57.560 that would just I couldn't sleep if I was if 2432 02:09:57.560 --> 02:09:58.920 I was aware of that kind of thing and I 2433 02:09:58.960 --> 02:10:01.079 was responsible for going out after them. 2434 02:10:01.479 --> 02:10:02.800 Now, no, it was. 2435 02:10:02.840 --> 02:10:05.840 Certainly, it's a frustrating thing to deal with, but you 2436 02:10:05.920 --> 02:10:08.199 have to keep in the back of your mind that 2437 02:10:08.960 --> 02:10:11.640 justice is going to be served and that we have 2438 02:10:11.680 --> 02:10:14.520 a job to do. We have to be professional, regardless 2439 02:10:14.520 --> 02:10:17.520 of the circumstances, regardless of our personal. 2440 02:10:17.199 --> 02:10:19.079 Feelings, and we have a job to do. 2441 02:10:19.119 --> 02:10:20.920 It is to go arrest these people, bring them to 2442 02:10:20.920 --> 02:10:24.279 the investigators, let the investigators do their thing. That way, 2443 02:10:24.319 --> 02:10:26.239 these people can spend the rest of their lives hopefully 2444 02:10:26.319 --> 02:10:27.239 under the prison. 2445 02:10:27.199 --> 02:10:31.119 Oh yeah, and feeling the wrath of their fellow prisoners. Anyhow, 2446 02:10:31.439 --> 02:10:34.920 real quick here, I saw that WCPO reported it may 2447 02:10:34.920 --> 02:10:37.840 have been reported elsewhere. Response times are down in the 2448 02:10:37.840 --> 02:10:41.800 city of Cincinnati about thirty seconds more calendar year over 2449 02:10:42.560 --> 02:10:46.159 for the police to arrive. And I so people know 2450 02:10:46.319 --> 02:10:49.000 the average response time over eight minutes compared to seven 2451 02:10:49.000 --> 02:10:52.359 minutes and thirty seconds in twenty twenty three. Part of 2452 02:10:52.399 --> 02:10:54.800 the problem the closing a District five. Do you agree with. 2453 02:10:54.800 --> 02:10:56.680 That, Well, there's no doubt. 2454 02:10:56.760 --> 02:10:58.119 I whan you look at the numbers, and I went 2455 02:10:58.159 --> 02:11:01.279 over them with WCPO yesterday. The districts that have the 2456 02:11:01.319 --> 02:11:04.640 biggest response times were District three and District four. Which 2457 02:11:04.760 --> 02:11:07.840 are the ones that absorbed the Lion's share of District 2458 02:11:07.880 --> 02:11:10.279 five by its closing. And it's something that I hear 2459 02:11:10.319 --> 02:11:13.279 from officers constantly. They're frustrated about, you know, take it 2460 02:11:13.319 --> 02:11:16.119 takes me, you know, this much longer to get to 2461 02:11:16.119 --> 02:11:18.239 a radio run because I'm going from this beat and 2462 02:11:18.239 --> 02:11:20.840 I'm covering an officer you know, up in College Hill 2463 02:11:21.279 --> 02:11:23.520 or up in Mount Area. It's just it takes longer 2464 02:11:23.560 --> 02:11:26.319 because the district's that much bigger, and it is certainly 2465 02:11:26.359 --> 02:11:29.520 something that has been a source of frustration since it's closed. 2466 02:11:29.920 --> 02:11:31.920 Well, I guess I have to ask, and I think 2467 02:11:31.920 --> 02:11:34.680 I know the answer to this, Ken, what's the likelihood 2468 02:11:34.720 --> 02:11:36.600 they're going to reopen a district. 2469 02:11:38.640 --> 02:11:40.680 I'll be honest with you, I don't think it's very good. 2470 02:11:41.520 --> 02:11:44.600 I think if they had the money for it, maybe, 2471 02:11:45.560 --> 02:11:47.680 but of course, you know they're they're going to say 2472 02:11:47.680 --> 02:11:49.960 that they don't have the money for it, and it's 2473 02:11:49.960 --> 02:11:52.960 something that it is frustrating. I think you look at 2474 02:11:52.960 --> 02:11:55.279 the numbers and you see that it's a problem, But 2475 02:11:55.319 --> 02:11:56.840 what are you going to do to fix it? And 2476 02:11:56.920 --> 02:11:59.760 that's that's yet to be seen. I guess, well, I'll 2477 02:11:59.760 --> 02:12:02.159 hold out hope that maybe they'll come to their senses 2478 02:12:02.199 --> 02:12:04.199 and see that. You know, we need to change this, 2479 02:12:04.359 --> 02:12:06.680 but who knows it's about to wait. 2480 02:12:06.840 --> 02:12:09.279 It's called the allocation of scarce resources. And one of 2481 02:12:09.279 --> 02:12:11.760 the most important things for a city to live, thrive 2482 02:12:11.800 --> 02:12:14.880 and survive is to have an efficient, good of well 2483 02:12:14.880 --> 02:12:18.199 oiled machine in the police department. Safety is paramount for 2484 02:12:18.279 --> 02:12:20.760 a city that wants to grow. And you know, we 2485 02:12:20.800 --> 02:12:23.479 don't need a streetcar. What we need are enough officers 2486 02:12:23.479 --> 02:12:25.600 to get to you if you are in peril or 2487 02:12:25.600 --> 02:12:27.760 a crime is being committed in a very short period 2488 02:12:27.840 --> 02:12:29.720 of time. And clearly that's not the direction we go 2489 02:12:29.760 --> 02:12:31.520 when we shut down police districts. 2490 02:12:32.720 --> 02:12:35.000 Now, that's the other part too, is you know we're 2491 02:12:35.039 --> 02:12:37.520 still one hundred and almost one hundred and forty officers short. 2492 02:12:37.880 --> 02:12:40.279 Oh, we keep on having recruit classes. We have one 2493 02:12:40.319 --> 02:12:40.840 in now. 2494 02:12:41.279 --> 02:12:44.319 But you have a recuit recruit class that graduates here 2495 02:12:44.359 --> 02:12:48.319 in May has about forty one officers and we're going 2496 02:12:48.399 --> 02:12:50.359 to lose probably sixty or. 2497 02:12:50.279 --> 02:12:53.520 Seventy this year. Oh no, it's an uphill battle. 2498 02:12:55.439 --> 02:12:57.840 We talk about recruit classes. The one thing everybody has 2499 02:12:57.880 --> 02:12:59.760 to keep in mind, I guess, is the number of officers 2500 02:12:59.720 --> 02:13:02.520 that are are retiring. It happens every year, and sometimes 2501 02:13:02.520 --> 02:13:05.439 it happens at a faster pace than other years. My 2502 02:13:05.800 --> 02:13:08.359 I get the impression from the officers that I know, 2503 02:13:08.520 --> 02:13:10.279 and I won't name names, and I want to put 2504 02:13:10.319 --> 02:13:12.880 you on the spot, but I get the impression morale 2505 02:13:13.039 --> 02:13:15.840 isn't exactly high within the Sinsint Police Department right now. 2506 02:13:16.880 --> 02:13:18.680 Well, it's it's just a challenge, it is. 2507 02:13:18.880 --> 02:13:22.479 I mean, you're dealing with, you know, being short staffed 2508 02:13:22.520 --> 02:13:25.520 all the time, You're dealing with the increased radio runs, 2509 02:13:26.199 --> 02:13:29.720 increased violence, all those things come into play, you know, 2510 02:13:29.760 --> 02:13:31.359 and we're gonna get ready to go back into our 2511 02:13:31.399 --> 02:13:34.039 events season where off days are going to be canceled constantly, 2512 02:13:35.159 --> 02:13:37.920 and it's just it's frustrating. I think a lot of 2513 02:13:37.960 --> 02:13:40.079 these things will be solved if we ever do get 2514 02:13:40.079 --> 02:13:42.840 back to our full complement. I just don't see it, 2515 02:13:43.359 --> 02:13:45.079 you know, happening in the next five to ten years. 2516 02:13:45.079 --> 02:13:47.039 As much as the city is trying to hire people, 2517 02:13:47.720 --> 02:13:49.319 you got to you gotta you gotta make this job 2518 02:13:49.359 --> 02:13:54.159 more attractive, you know, And and until things turn around politically, 2519 02:13:54.239 --> 02:13:57.600 you know, whether it's locally, state or nationally, which hopefully, 2520 02:13:58.119 --> 02:13:59.000 uh things will be. 2521 02:13:59.239 --> 02:14:01.520 On the on the up now, and hopefully we'll be 2522 02:14:01.560 --> 02:14:02.560 able to get more people in. 2523 02:14:02.479 --> 02:14:05.039 Here amen to that, because that just adds to the 2524 02:14:05.079 --> 02:14:08.720 already stressful reality of your lives, which that component doesn't 2525 02:14:08.760 --> 02:14:10.880 have to be there. If we had appropriately funded in 2526 02:14:10.960 --> 02:14:13.920 staff police force, you could at least take that element 2527 02:14:13.960 --> 02:14:16.920 of stress out of your lives. Ken Cober, appreciate you 2528 02:14:16.920 --> 02:14:19.960 being on the program. FLP President, keep up the great work, 2529 02:14:20.000 --> 02:14:23.039 and I appreciate you explaining what you had to say 2530 02:14:23.079 --> 02:14:26.520 about the Jay sixers. I agree that violence against police 2531 02:14:26.560 --> 02:14:29.560 officers should never be excused, and hopefully that would be 2532 02:14:29.600 --> 02:14:33.520 the order of the day if it helps it all, Trump, 2533 02:14:33.600 --> 02:14:36.239 pardon the former DC police officer that was convicted the 2534 02:14:36.279 --> 02:14:41.239 death of the Andrews Zebaski's's name, convicted the conspiracy and 2535 02:14:41.279 --> 02:14:45.399 obstruction of justice in connection with the It was a 2536 02:14:45.439 --> 02:14:48.840 Trayvon Martin situation or something like that, but anyway, he 2537 02:14:48.880 --> 02:14:51.680 believed he was wrongfully convicted, so at least he tried 2538 02:14:51.680 --> 02:14:53.960 to make up a little bit with that one line 2539 02:14:54.000 --> 02:14:56.359 of duty incident. Ken, I won't hold you on the 2540 02:14:56.399 --> 02:14:58.600 spot on that one. I do appreciate your time this morning, 2541 02:14:58.600 --> 02:15:00.000 and I look forward to having you on the program 2542 02:15:00.039 --> 02:15:00.560 down the road. 2543 02:15:01.399 --> 02:15:02.680 All right, thanks Brian, thanks for having me. 2544 02:15:02.800 --> 02:15:04.800 My pleasure coming up in eight eighteen fifty five kr 2545 02:15:04.800 --> 02:15:07.720 CD talk station. Stick around. We got a little bit 2546 02:15:07.760 --> 02:15:10.119 more time to talk. And then, of course I always 2547 02:15:10.159 --> 02:15:13.399 look forward to Friday or Thursday, Friday Eve at a 2548 02:15:13.520 --> 02:15:15.279 thirty because we get to talk to Jay Rat left 2549 02:15:15.279 --> 02:15:17.640 a bunch of topics with Jay this morning. So please 2550 02:15:17.640 --> 02:15:18.239 stick around. 2551 02:15:19.319 --> 02:15:23.960 Fifty five the talk station Steve Air with USA and 2552 02:15:24.000 --> 02:15:27.159 so fifty five KRCD talk station. Yeah, I missed book. 2553 02:15:27.159 --> 02:15:29.119 When I was talking to Ken about the pardons for 2554 02:15:29.199 --> 02:15:32.520 the two former DC police officers, I said, trade on Martin, 2555 02:15:32.560 --> 02:15:34.000 I just the first thing that came to my mind. 2556 02:15:34.399 --> 02:15:39.119 It was the death of Karen Helton Brown and the 2557 02:15:39.159 --> 02:15:43.920 circumstances behind this. Apparently, Hailton Brown was riding a moped 2558 02:15:44.039 --> 02:15:46.600 without a helmet on a sidewalk back in twenty twenty. 2559 02:15:47.520 --> 02:15:54.840 An officer Sutton Terrence Sutton, and the other officer involved 2560 02:15:54.840 --> 02:15:58.800 was Andrew Zabowski. Lieutenant Sutton tried to pull him over 2561 02:15:58.960 --> 02:16:03.199 in an unmarked police car. A chase ensued, reaching speeds 2562 02:16:03.199 --> 02:16:06.720 of more than double the speed limit in residential areas. 2563 02:16:07.479 --> 02:16:10.199 Cord to the Justice Department, out and Brown eventually ended 2564 02:16:10.279 --> 02:16:13.239 up getting hit by a vehicle in an alley during 2565 02:16:13.239 --> 02:16:15.079 the pursuit, just a vehicle, I don't think it was 2566 02:16:15.079 --> 02:16:18.279 a police vehicle. Sustained severe head traum and died two 2567 02:16:18.359 --> 02:16:22.640 days later. And they suggested the pursuit violated Metropolitan Police 2568 02:16:22.680 --> 02:16:27.359 Department's policy prohibiting chases. So those two were convicted of 2569 02:16:27.439 --> 02:16:32.600 conspiracy and obstruction of justice and sentenced. To believe one 2570 02:16:32.639 --> 02:16:35.799 of them got fifty or sixty six months. Sutton convicted 2571 02:16:35.799 --> 02:16:39.799 of sixty six months and Zabrovski sentenced to a forty 2572 02:16:39.840 --> 02:16:42.719 eight month prison term. So those are the two police 2573 02:16:42.719 --> 02:16:47.360 officers that received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. So 2574 02:16:47.399 --> 02:16:50.600 Trump's not anti law enforcement, I don't think. And you 2575 02:16:50.639 --> 02:16:53.040 can draw your own conclusions on whether it was appropriate for, 2576 02:16:53.280 --> 02:16:56.639 as Ken pointed out, folks who did commit violent acts 2577 02:16:56.639 --> 02:17:00.360 against police to be have their sentences commuted otherwise if 2578 02:17:00.360 --> 02:17:04.959 they hadn't been sentenced yet. Ah, such a complicated matter. 2579 02:17:06.520 --> 02:17:08.000 And then going back to some of the guests I've 2580 02:17:08.000 --> 02:17:15.360 had regarding the JA six thing and the seemingly I 2581 02:17:16.040 --> 02:17:18.600 definitive proof now that we've got that the FBI was 2582 02:17:18.639 --> 02:17:23.440 involved in egging these people on to engage in this 2583 02:17:23.719 --> 02:17:28.120 stupid behavior. I mean, I think a lot of us 2584 02:17:28.120 --> 02:17:30.040 have probably been in a situation where things may have 2585 02:17:30.040 --> 02:17:35.719 gotten out of control, you know, I went to college, 2586 02:17:36.120 --> 02:17:44.239 but that this was intentionally this violence was intentionally fomented, 2587 02:17:45.799 --> 02:17:48.239 and that there are by many accounts a large number 2588 02:17:48.280 --> 02:17:51.559 of the so called antifa types within the crowd pretending 2589 02:17:51.639 --> 02:17:55.000 to be Trump supporters and encouraging this behavior as well. 2590 02:17:55.879 --> 02:17:57.319 And I don't know where if you can pick those 2591 02:17:57.360 --> 02:17:59.799 out of the people who actually engaged in violence or 2592 02:17:59.840 --> 02:18:03.639 in gauged in property destruction. Haven't searing any definitive reports 2593 02:18:03.680 --> 02:18:06.440 on that. They always label them with a broad brush, 2594 02:18:06.479 --> 02:18:12.000 a blanket Trump's supporter brush, when, as it turns out, 2595 02:18:12.159 --> 02:18:14.639 many of these so called Trump supporters were actually FBI 2596 02:18:14.760 --> 02:18:17.760 agents or folks working in cooperation with the FBI, or 2597 02:18:17.799 --> 02:18:23.559 in some cases perhaps leftist protesters who wanted to taint 2598 02:18:23.600 --> 02:18:28.040 this event and wanted this to become the national embarrassment 2599 02:18:28.120 --> 02:18:33.719 that January sixth became. So I'll let you conclude on 2600 02:18:33.760 --> 02:18:36.200 your own whether these and that I'm hesitant to call 2601 02:18:36.200 --> 02:18:38.840 on conspiracy theories because I've seen so much evidence in 2602 02:18:38.840 --> 02:18:40.840 my face about what I just said. But you don't 2603 02:18:40.879 --> 02:18:42.680 have to go down that road if you choose not to. 2604 02:18:43.079 --> 02:18:43.319 I know. 2605 02:18:43.440 --> 02:18:45.200 It's like I say all the time, it's like the 2606 02:18:45.239 --> 02:18:48.040 fog of war. How many people died, how many people 2607 02:18:48.040 --> 02:18:54.680 were killed in combat? You don't know well whether or 2608 02:18:54.719 --> 02:18:56.639 not you believe justice has served. This is where we 2609 02:18:56.680 --> 02:18:59.799 find ourselves today. Hunter Biden got pardon, yeah, blanket pardon, 2610 02:19:00.079 --> 02:19:06.239 and we know about all the crimes he committed blanket pardon, ahem. 2611 02:19:07.159 --> 02:19:09.399 And then there were these thousands of others, including the 2612 02:19:09.520 --> 02:19:12.479 entire Biden crime family. So I don't know you can 2613 02:19:12.520 --> 02:19:16.159 compare one to the other. But if you're looking for 2614 02:19:16.319 --> 02:19:20.559 fairness and all of this, good luck or Since I 2615 02:19:20.600 --> 02:19:23.159 heard mediaviation extpert Jay Ratliff coming up next up aginstag 2616 02:19:23.200 --> 02:19:23.639 around for that. 2617 02:19:24.000 --> 02:19:24.719 I'll be right back. 2618 02:19:24.920 --> 02:19:26.959 Fifty five KRC dot com. 2619 02:19:27.000 --> 02:19:29.760 Hey jenn I first, forty one to forecast. 2620 02:19:29.799 --> 02:19:31.280 We're going to have a high thirty one today to 2621 02:19:31.319 --> 02:19:34.159 maybe some afternoon flurry showing up overnight, down to nine 2622 02:19:34.200 --> 02:19:39.280 degrees sunny tomorrow twenty five, overnight thirteen and a little 2623 02:19:39.319 --> 02:19:42.120 warmer on Saturday.

Lol, 2656 02:21:08.159 --> 02:21:10.200 says I listened to Lawrenceburg, not far from you.

And I said, come on, Indiana, 2660 02:21:19.360 --> 02:21:21.360 and I had it did sound like disdain. No, that 2661 02:21:21.479 --> 02:21:26.040 was jealousy, Sue, jealousy.

All right, back to aviation. 2664 02:21:30.559 --> 02:21:35.200 Let's start with Well, seats that recline without reducing the 2665 02:21:35.239 --> 02:21:38.280 space for the person behind them. What a novel concept. 2666 02:21:38.920 --> 02:21:41.920 Well, it's a great concept, but you know, I cautioned 2667 02:21:41.959 --> 02:21:46.440 everyone not to get too excited because it's not gonna 2668 02:21:46.840 --> 02:21:48.760 be something we're gonna see quite a bit. But this 2669 02:21:48.879 --> 02:21:51.840 is this is Luthonza, the German carrier, and they rolled 2670 02:21:51.879 --> 02:21:55.000 out a seat. It's kind of a pod that allows 2671 02:21:55.079 --> 02:21:57.639 us to recline without invading the space of the person 2672 02:21:57.680 --> 02:21:58.200 behind us. 2673 02:21:58.680 --> 02:21:59.719 Now, these are again. 2674 02:21:59.600 --> 02:22:02.680 Self can seat pods, and they're being placed in their 2675 02:22:02.719 --> 02:22:06.479 premium class for the airline. And look, while I love 2676 02:22:06.559 --> 02:22:09.639 the idea, I'm not getting excited because I know that 2677 02:22:09.639 --> 02:22:12.280 these will never replace the sardine canned seating that we 2678 02:22:12.399 --> 02:22:16.120 endure and coach these days, because these specific seats require 2679 02:22:16.239 --> 02:22:19.879 a little bit more room than a typical seat. And 2680 02:22:19.920 --> 02:22:23.120 if an airline works to decide to hey, customer service, 2681 02:22:23.200 --> 02:22:26.959 let's use these everywhere, they would see a decrease in 2682 02:22:27.000 --> 02:22:29.879 the number of seats on a plane. That means less revenue. 2683 02:22:30.879 --> 02:22:32.920 Now maybe not, I ain't happening, and you and I 2684 02:22:32.959 --> 02:22:36.040 both know that. But look, if you're in premium class, 2685 02:22:36.159 --> 02:22:38.639 you know you can do that. And it's nice because 2686 02:22:39.520 --> 02:22:41.040 in coach, what we're going to be seeing in the 2687 02:22:41.040 --> 02:22:43.399 coming years is a lot like we see on some 2688 02:22:43.440 --> 02:22:46.360 of the low cost carriers, where the seats do not reclimb. 2689 02:22:46.600 --> 02:22:51.120 They are set at a predetermined, slightly inclined spot, and 2690 02:22:51.479 --> 02:22:53.959 that's it. You can't bring them up, you can't bring 2691 02:22:53.959 --> 02:22:57.760 them back any And they're saying that this will prevent 2692 02:22:58.000 --> 02:23:02.159 people from getting into altered on a plane by having 2693 02:23:02.200 --> 02:23:05.680 these already done. It sounds so convincing, and it's a 2694 02:23:05.680 --> 02:23:08.360 bunch of crap because the thought is, if you have 2695 02:23:08.559 --> 02:23:10.520 these seats, you could put an extra row or two 2696 02:23:10.520 --> 02:23:13.319 in the back. So what they're really doing is shoving 2697 02:23:13.360 --> 02:23:15.399 an extra two rows in the back of an aircraft, 2698 02:23:15.600 --> 02:23:19.600 giving themselves, you know, six eight additional seats per segment, 2699 02:23:19.680 --> 02:23:23.639 per per flight. And my goodness, the revenue they generate 2700 02:23:23.719 --> 02:23:26.920 on that is considerable, and that's why they do it, 2701 02:23:27.040 --> 02:23:29.879 not because of customer service, but because of the fact 2702 02:23:30.159 --> 02:23:33.399 they can cram more seats into that silver revenue too well. 2703 02:23:33.840 --> 02:23:36.040 Going to miss the put your seat back on the upright, 2704 02:23:36.079 --> 02:23:37.760 position your tray table in the lock. 2705 02:23:38.559 --> 02:23:40.319 Yeah, yeah, reclined. 2706 02:23:40.360 --> 02:23:43.479 Why you can enjoy it is my is my message. 2707 02:23:43.760 --> 02:23:46.959 Yeah, and I suppose that's probably the best solution because 2708 02:23:47.360 --> 02:23:49.520 a lot of people that it causes. The flight attendants 2709 02:23:49.559 --> 02:23:51.600 have to walk back, sir, can you put your seat up? 2710 02:23:51.600 --> 02:23:53.879 We're getting ready to take off or're getting ready to land, 2711 02:23:53.920 --> 02:23:56.879 And as well as the uncomfortable reality of the seat 2712 02:23:56.879 --> 02:23:59.079 in front of you taking up your leg space. If 2713 02:23:59.120 --> 02:24:02.600 everybody suffers equally, then that, I suppose is a healthy 2714 02:24:02.760 --> 02:24:03.680 change for the better. 2715 02:24:04.520 --> 02:24:06.319 But when they go to the meal service and you're 2716 02:24:06.360 --> 02:24:08.200 ready to eat, in the person in front of you 2717 02:24:08.319 --> 02:24:11.559 lace all the way back. The tree tables now shoved 2718 02:24:11.559 --> 02:24:15.280 into your stomach and it makes it impossible to use it. 2719 02:24:15.319 --> 02:24:17.760 And the reason that that is is because the pitch 2720 02:24:17.879 --> 02:24:21.159 or the distance between rows has decreased steadily over the 2721 02:24:21.239 --> 02:24:24.760 years as airlines have crammed more and more seats into 2722 02:24:24.799 --> 02:24:27.799 an airplane. And now that we are using an option 2723 02:24:27.959 --> 02:24:30.719 they gave us as far as the ability to reclimb, 2724 02:24:31.000 --> 02:24:33.440 Now it's a problem. And now somehow that's our fault 2725 02:24:33.479 --> 02:24:36.440 because of what the airlines did. No, it's a problem 2726 02:24:36.520 --> 02:24:39.600 with what the airlines created when they made the decision 2727 02:24:39.600 --> 02:24:41.479 to cram extra seats onto the aircraft. 2728 02:24:41.799 --> 02:24:44.040 Fair enough, we can get one more topic in before 2729 02:24:44.040 --> 02:24:46.120 we take a break here, Jay, I see that Trump 2730 02:24:46.200 --> 02:24:48.159 has decided to replace the head of the TSA. 2731 02:24:49.120 --> 02:24:52.159 Yeah, which is a guy he appointed in his first term. 2732 02:24:52.159 --> 02:24:54.399 The guy has been around for about seven years in 2733 02:24:54.440 --> 02:24:57.399 that office. And I have to admit this one surprised 2734 02:24:57.440 --> 02:25:00.840 me because I thought, you know, he's doing a decent job, 2735 02:25:01.840 --> 02:25:04.760 and I really don't know of any serious issues that. 2736 02:25:04.760 --> 02:25:05.680 We have ongoing. 2737 02:25:06.360 --> 02:25:09.799 And believe me, if it's the FAA or whoever it is, 2738 02:25:10.280 --> 02:25:12.600 normally the people that are at the top of some 2739 02:25:12.680 --> 02:25:16.760 of these aviation entities don't stick around for but like 2740 02:25:16.920 --> 02:25:20.239 nine or ten or fifteen months and they're gone. This 2741 02:25:20.319 --> 02:25:23.440 individual with a seven year tenure, he had a US 2742 02:25:23.520 --> 02:25:26.840 Coast Guard background. I mean, he was very well qualified. 2743 02:25:27.280 --> 02:25:30.040 And again, the TSA has over too million chances a 2744 02:25:30.120 --> 02:25:32.440 day to mess up, and most of the front line 2745 02:25:32.440 --> 02:25:34.159 people do an incredible job. 2746 02:25:34.280 --> 02:25:35.680 So yeah, I was a little bit. 2747 02:25:36.000 --> 02:25:38.079 I guess the thought is, Okay, if Biden likes you, 2748 02:25:38.200 --> 02:25:39.600 I don't, you're out of here. I don't know what 2749 02:25:39.639 --> 02:25:42.000 the reason was, but he has made the move to 2750 02:25:42.040 --> 02:25:43.399 replace the head of the TSA. 2751 02:25:44.120 --> 02:25:45.719 Well, we've seen a lot of that stuff coming on 2752 02:25:45.799 --> 02:25:49.360 in the upcoming days. It's already happening all across the administration. 2753 02:25:50.079 --> 02:25:52.520 I think his team is having a hard time keeping 2754 02:25:52.639 --> 02:25:55.440 up with President Trump with all he's done in just 2755 02:25:55.520 --> 02:25:57.719 a number of hours he's been our president. 2756 02:25:58.440 --> 02:26:01.840 Come on, he answered more questions from the press and 2757 02:26:01.920 --> 02:26:04.159 in one day than than Biden did. 2758 02:26:04.040 --> 02:26:06.200 In the last four years. Guy's got more. 2759 02:26:06.120 --> 02:26:08.840 Energet was like those those NFL players on the sideline 2760 02:26:08.840 --> 02:26:10.959 getting oxygen just to try to keep up with Oh. 2761 02:26:10.840 --> 02:26:13.680 Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, he's too old to be president. No, 2762 02:26:13.840 --> 02:26:16.479 I think he's doing all right. Hell I can't keep 2763 02:26:16.600 --> 02:26:19.120 up with me right, Indeed, I couldn't handle his workday. 2764 02:26:19.120 --> 02:26:21.079 We'll pause, will bring Jay Ratliff back. Apparently it's a 2765 02:26:21.079 --> 02:26:23.479 good thing to be in an Alaska Airline employee. And 2766 02:26:23.879 --> 02:26:27.799 more information United and Delta and Boeing and suspension of 2767 02:26:27.840 --> 02:26:30.680 a crew, A bunch of fun stories with Jay Ratliff. 2768 02:26:30.680 --> 02:26:31.319 I'll be right back. 2769 02:26:32.000 --> 02:26:37.639 Fifty fives KRC the talk station this month NBC eighty eight. 2770 02:26:37.639 --> 02:26:39.799 Coming on eight thirty nine. If you've got KARCD talk station. 2771 02:26:39.840 --> 02:26:42.959 Brian Thomas a Jay Ratliff. I heard dadation expert and 2772 02:26:43.120 --> 02:26:45.120 all round great guy. Is it good to be an 2773 02:26:45.159 --> 02:26:46.440 Alaska Airline employee? 2774 02:26:46.520 --> 02:26:46.719 Jay? 2775 02:26:47.479 --> 02:26:48.239 It is? It is. 2776 02:26:48.239 --> 02:26:50.040 In fact, a year ago you and I were talking 2777 02:26:50.040 --> 02:26:52.520 about how Alaska Airlines was forced to ground a third 2778 02:26:52.600 --> 02:26:56.879 of their fleet after that Boeing door plug incident. Even 2779 02:26:57.120 --> 02:26:59.520 Saturday Night Live was having fun at their expense, and 2780 02:26:59.799 --> 02:27:02.440 it remains a very funny video to watch. I'm not 2781 02:27:02.479 --> 02:27:06.200 an SNL fan, but Buddy, they nailed it on Alaska Airlines. 2782 02:27:06.239 --> 02:27:08.559 But you know, then the airline really turned things around 2783 02:27:09.079 --> 02:27:11.840 last year in a very big way. They ended the 2784 02:27:11.920 --> 02:27:16.479 year with making some significant amount of profit, and they 2785 02:27:16.559 --> 02:27:19.079 decided to give their employees a bonus check that's equal 2786 02:27:19.120 --> 02:27:22.360 to six weeks of their pay as a thank you. 2787 02:27:22.440 --> 02:27:26.000 So if you told the Last Airlin employees last year 2788 02:27:26.040 --> 02:27:27.280 at this time, this is what you're going to be 2789 02:27:27.399 --> 02:27:29.399 enjoying a year from now, they might have had a 2790 02:27:29.399 --> 02:27:32.879 difficult time believing it. But yeah, Last Airlines continues to 2791 02:27:33.079 --> 02:27:34.120 do a lot of things. 2792 02:27:34.200 --> 02:27:37.520 Very very well, all right, And somebody else did pretty well. 2793 02:27:37.520 --> 02:27:40.959 I'd be Donald Trump hauling in big corporate donor inaugural 2794 02:27:41.000 --> 02:27:42.959 fund bucks, and I guess the airlines were in on 2795 02:27:43.000 --> 02:27:43.559 that too. 2796 02:27:44.120 --> 02:27:49.399 Well, Delta, you had the United putting up a million 2797 02:27:49.479 --> 02:27:51.840 dollars a pop for the inaugural fund. 2798 02:27:51.879 --> 02:27:53.760 And I don't know that I like that, Bryan. 2799 02:27:54.399 --> 02:27:56.760 The reason I don't like it is because the airlines 2800 02:27:56.840 --> 02:27:59.840 with Trump round one, it was a very cozy relation 2801 02:28:00.120 --> 02:28:03.239 chip and you know, of late under the Biden administration, 2802 02:28:03.319 --> 02:28:05.559 airlines were being held accountable for a lot more than 2803 02:28:05.600 --> 02:28:06.920 they've ever ever, ever been. 2804 02:28:06.840 --> 02:28:07.639 Held accountable for. 2805 02:28:08.319 --> 02:28:10.600 And my fear is that we might be taking our 2806 02:28:10.600 --> 02:28:12.639 foot off the accelerator a little bit. And I'm not 2807 02:28:12.760 --> 02:28:16.159 suggesting that the million dollar inaugural fund is, you know, 2808 02:28:16.399 --> 02:28:19.159 to buy some favor. But then I see the next 2809 02:28:19.159 --> 02:28:21.760 person in line with their million dollars. 2810 02:28:21.600 --> 02:28:24.040 Is Boeing better get on board? 2811 02:28:24.159 --> 02:28:24.520 Please? 2812 02:28:24.639 --> 02:28:26.000 Yeah, please don't. 2813 02:28:26.360 --> 02:28:28.600 If there's one. If there's one company, I want to 2814 02:28:28.600 --> 02:28:31.319 make sure that we do not let up anything on 2815 02:28:31.440 --> 02:28:34.879 it's certainly Boeing. So we'll just have to We'll just 2816 02:28:34.920 --> 02:28:35.719 have to wait and see. 2817 02:28:35.719 --> 02:28:37.399 But look again, you and I. 2818 02:28:37.799 --> 02:28:40.200 You know, I'm not a fan at all of the 2819 02:28:40.319 --> 02:28:44.159 Biden administration at all whatsoever. But I did appreciate how 2820 02:28:44.200 --> 02:28:47.079 they held airlines accountable. In fact, they did more from 2821 02:28:47.120 --> 02:28:51.000 the Department of Transportation against airlines, finding them holding their 2822 02:28:51.040 --> 02:28:53.520 feet to the fire, making them accountable more than any 2823 02:28:53.559 --> 02:28:57.120 other administration I've ever seen in decades. And I really 2824 02:28:57.159 --> 02:29:01.239 wish that kind of heat can continue. But sadly, I 2825 02:29:01.319 --> 02:29:02.520 just I don't think it's going to. 2826 02:29:02.600 --> 02:29:03.360 And I really want to. 2827 02:29:03.319 --> 02:29:06.520 Be wrong there politics and money. Just wonder if there's 2828 02:29:06.520 --> 02:29:07.840 any corruptive forces that. 2829 02:29:07.840 --> 02:29:09.680 Get tend to go together. 2830 02:29:09.799 --> 02:29:11.879 You're right easy sitting and felt. I don't know why 2831 02:29:11.879 --> 02:29:16.360 it came to mind. Why did I just say that? Okay, 2832 02:29:16.639 --> 02:29:21.360 so crew got suspended and for sounds like pretty good reason. 2833 02:29:21.399 --> 02:29:23.280 On this next story here oday. 2834 02:29:24.280 --> 02:29:27.159 Landing on the wrong runway. Uh oh, it takes it 2835 02:29:27.319 --> 02:29:30.000 and the runway lights were off. It takes a lot 2836 02:29:30.040 --> 02:29:33.440 to mess up that bad. But the real story is 2837 02:29:33.479 --> 02:29:38.319 which airline it was. It was Pakistan International Airlines. Now 2838 02:29:38.680 --> 02:29:40.600 this is the airline and I were talking about last 2839 02:29:40.600 --> 02:29:43.239 week that had the We're coming back to France ad 2840 02:29:43.319 --> 02:29:46.600 and they put this ad up with, you know, celebrating 2841 02:29:46.639 --> 02:29:48.319 in the fact that the airline was coming back in 2842 02:29:48.360 --> 02:29:50.840 and it was one of their planes flying directly towards 2843 02:29:50.879 --> 02:29:52.959 the Eiffel Tower. It looked like a snapshot of nine 2844 02:29:53.000 --> 02:29:55.680 to eleven people around the world freaked out saying what 2845 02:29:55.680 --> 02:29:59.399 what is this and a very tone deaf ad if 2846 02:29:59.440 --> 02:30:02.000 you will. But this is also the airline that number 2847 02:30:02.000 --> 02:30:03.440 of years ago they found that a third of their 2848 02:30:03.479 --> 02:30:06.360 pilots had a fake pilot license. 2849 02:30:07.239 --> 02:30:08.600 Oh. 2850 02:30:07.799 --> 02:30:09.639 Also, oh, it gets better. 2851 02:30:09.719 --> 02:30:12.280 Also the airline that a number of years ago was 2852 02:30:12.280 --> 02:30:14.760 getting in trouble because part of their maintenance procedure was 2853 02:30:14.799 --> 02:30:20.319 to sacrifice a goat on the tarmac, so needless. Yeah, 2854 02:30:20.360 --> 02:30:23.399 and I know people they are having breakfast. Apologies or 2855 02:30:23.479 --> 02:30:25.440 be you think I'm making this up and I'm not. 2856 02:30:26.399 --> 02:30:28.159 It's on the internet, so it's got to be true. 2857 02:30:28.159 --> 02:30:33.559 But yeah, Pakistan International Airlines surprisingly is not allowed to 2858 02:30:33.600 --> 02:30:36.920 fly into the United States because they've had some past 2859 02:30:37.000 --> 02:30:40.079 issues and they were in Lahore landing and the crew 2860 02:30:40.159 --> 02:30:43.559 landed on the wrong rue line. They fortunately, thank god, 2861 02:30:43.639 --> 02:30:49.079 nobody got hurt. Nobody was occupying the wrong runway at 2862 02:30:49.079 --> 02:30:51.719 the time, and the crew was immediately suspended. 2863 02:30:51.760 --> 02:30:52.360 But for an. 2864 02:30:52.280 --> 02:30:55.879 Airline that is desperately trying to rebuild their image in 2865 02:30:55.959 --> 02:30:58.879 the world of aviation around the world, ran they can't 2866 02:30:58.879 --> 02:30:59.200 catch a. 2867 02:30:59.200 --> 02:31:01.159 Break and it just continues. 2868 02:31:02.040 --> 02:31:05.440 Wow, when you said the Pakistani Airlines and apologies to 2869 02:31:05.440 --> 02:31:07.319 my Pakistani listeners out there, and this is not an 2870 02:31:07.360 --> 02:31:10.360 indictment of all things Pakistani, but the vision that immediately 2871 02:31:10.360 --> 02:31:12.120 popped in my mind, you know, you get this mental 2872 02:31:12.159 --> 02:31:16.280 image was an airplane with chicken wire windows. 2873 02:31:17.440 --> 02:31:20.799 Oh well, we've got some of those in South America. 2874 02:31:20.879 --> 02:31:25.360 But yeah, Pakistan International Airlines, they've just had one thing 2875 02:31:25.399 --> 02:31:28.360 and it's all self inflicted stuff that has really caused 2876 02:31:28.399 --> 02:31:30.159 them to have the problems they do. And when you 2877 02:31:30.200 --> 02:31:34.319 look at the track record of the incidents that they've had, you. 2878 02:31:34.280 --> 02:31:35.079 Just shake your head. 2879 02:31:35.719 --> 02:31:38.639 But it also allows me to have a greater appreciation 2880 02:31:38.799 --> 02:31:42.239 for the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration 2881 02:31:42.360 --> 02:31:45.680 where they say that carriers, look, you're simply not safe 2882 02:31:45.760 --> 02:31:48.159 enough to fly into any US airports and you are 2883 02:31:48.159 --> 02:31:51.879 not going to do so. And the Pakistan International Airlines 2884 02:31:51.920 --> 02:31:53.879 for a number of years has not been allowed to 2885 02:31:53.920 --> 02:31:56.600 fly into any of our large gateway airports in the country. 2886 02:31:56.639 --> 02:31:57.360 And thank god for that. 2887 02:31:57.600 --> 02:31:59.440 Yeah, and you know you got to put an exclamation 2888 02:31:59.479 --> 02:32:03.360 point on b because of concerns over safety. This isn't 2889 02:32:03.360 --> 02:32:06.600 some political thing where you know, we have poor relations 2890 02:32:06.600 --> 02:32:08.799 with the country politically and there go, we're not going 2891 02:32:08.840 --> 02:32:11.120 to allow them to enter our airspace. This is because 2892 02:32:11.159 --> 02:32:13.600 we're afraid to let them into our airspace. Now, if 2893 02:32:13.600 --> 02:32:16.559 you're you're sitting in Pakistan, you hear something like that, 2894 02:32:16.639 --> 02:32:17.840 you get ready to board a plane. 2895 02:32:17.879 --> 02:32:19.760 I thought you'd be very comfortable about that. 2896 02:32:20.559 --> 02:32:22.840 You couldn't pay me to get on a Russian airline 2897 02:32:22.879 --> 02:32:26.280 because of their part issues or certainly Pakistan International Airlines, 2898 02:32:26.280 --> 02:32:28.399 and you know, this is also a country that's been 2899 02:32:28.520 --> 02:32:31.879 very friendly to terrorist organizations like al Qaeda and others, 2900 02:32:33.000 --> 02:32:36.479 So it's there's always been issues there. But from a 2901 02:32:36.520 --> 02:32:40.600 commercial aviation standpoint, look, there are reasons why we are 2902 02:32:40.680 --> 02:32:43.040 enjoying here in the United States the safest air ever 2903 02:32:43.120 --> 02:32:45.680 of commercial jet travel. It's because a lot of people 2904 02:32:45.719 --> 02:32:47.799 are doing a lot of things right and very well. 2905 02:32:47.879 --> 02:32:50.239 And you know, the FAA, even though I'll get on 2906 02:32:50.319 --> 02:32:52.360 them all the time for some of the crazy things 2907 02:32:52.360 --> 02:32:55.159 that we do when we manage the perception of safety 2908 02:32:55.239 --> 02:32:59.280 or security versus actually changing things, I'm always going to 2909 02:32:59.280 --> 02:33:01.040 point out the fact that there's a lot of things 2910 02:33:01.120 --> 02:33:04.520 that they do right, those men and women that are 2911 02:33:04.559 --> 02:33:07.879 in various roles in that agency. The one thing they're 2912 02:33:07.879 --> 02:33:09.879 looking at is, look, if there's issues, was how you 2913 02:33:09.920 --> 02:33:12.879 train your pilots, how you hire your pilots, how your 2914 02:33:12.959 --> 02:33:15.200 maintenance is done if it is not being done. All 2915 02:33:15.239 --> 02:33:17.639 of these things are looked at to determine whether or 2916 02:33:17.639 --> 02:33:20.000 not it's okay for an airline to fly in the 2917 02:33:20.079 --> 02:33:22.440 United States. And some people will say, gae I'm flying 2918 02:33:22.440 --> 02:33:24.520 out of Chicago. I've never heard of this airline in 2919 02:33:24.520 --> 02:33:26.840 my life. I'm scared to death, and you know it's 2920 02:33:26.879 --> 02:33:29.280 because the only reason that they're allowed to fly here 2921 02:33:29.399 --> 02:33:32.959 is because they have achieved that safety standard that we 2922 02:33:33.079 --> 02:33:34.600 have to have. But you can always go to the 2923 02:33:34.639 --> 02:33:37.399 State Department website. As we've talked about before, they have 2924 02:33:37.399 --> 02:33:40.079 a list of airlines you should be concerned with or 2925 02:33:40.239 --> 02:33:43.799 destinations you should be concerned with, and if the airline 2926 02:33:43.840 --> 02:33:46.600 that you're flying happens to appear on that list, you 2927 02:33:46.680 --> 02:33:48.840 might want to consider an alternative. 2928 02:33:49.040 --> 02:33:51.200 Sound advice from Jay Rodlift. 2929 02:33:51.520 --> 02:33:55.120 All right, let's talk about hubblays and couple that with 2930 02:33:55.200 --> 02:33:58.159 the disaster that was the weather in the Southern States. 2931 02:33:58.159 --> 02:33:59.920 Over that thousands of flights canceled. 2932 02:34:01.040 --> 02:34:04.920 Today we had tens of thousands of flights impacted and affected, 2933 02:34:04.959 --> 02:34:08.959 and things are back to I don't want to say normal, 2934 02:34:09.079 --> 02:34:11.440 because I'm looking at New Orleans where forty three percent 2935 02:34:11.479 --> 02:34:14.639 of their flights are canceled, Charleston sixty seven percent of 2936 02:34:14.639 --> 02:34:17.719 the flights canceled. Savannah they're losing their minds with snow, 2937 02:34:17.799 --> 02:34:20.680 sixty five percent of their flights canceled. So obviously, in 2938 02:34:20.719 --> 02:34:23.360 some of these areas we're having issues. But when you 2939 02:34:23.360 --> 02:34:26.479 look at the big picture, Southwest is canceled two percent 2940 02:34:26.520 --> 02:34:30.079 of their flights today, Delta one percent, American one percent, 2941 02:34:30.159 --> 02:34:33.200 United one percent. So we're starting to see things today 2942 02:34:33.639 --> 02:34:35.760 get back to normal. Today will be as close to 2943 02:34:35.799 --> 02:34:38.600 normal as we've seen in the last several days, very 2944 02:34:38.600 --> 02:34:41.600 few issues other than Detroit. Tomorrow's going to be the 2945 02:34:41.680 --> 02:34:44.959 day of the week where everything is okay, back to 2946 02:34:45.040 --> 02:34:47.959 normal as usual, because sadly, we had planes last night 2947 02:34:48.000 --> 02:34:51.280 that couldn't reach their destination because of delays that affected 2948 02:34:51.280 --> 02:34:54.879 the originating flights out this morning. But overall it's gotten 2949 02:34:54.920 --> 02:34:57.719 better as the week is progress. But what an absolute 2950 02:34:57.799 --> 02:35:00.680 nightmare of a mess with that historic storm that stormed 2951 02:35:00.680 --> 02:35:03.840 across the South from Houston through so many of those 2952 02:35:03.879 --> 02:35:06.399 airports that again they got snow removal, as. 2953 02:35:06.440 --> 02:35:07.840 I'm just going to ask you, because I know the 2954 02:35:07.920 --> 02:35:10.360 municipalities do not. In the houstonar they were talking about 2955 02:35:10.360 --> 02:35:12.520 they had to bring some down from Dallas or something, 2956 02:35:12.520 --> 02:35:15.120 but they had because it's. 2957 02:35:14.959 --> 02:35:16.840 Like you and I getting a snowblower that we put 2958 02:35:16.959 --> 02:35:20.399 in our garage that we might use every fifteen years. 2959 02:35:20.559 --> 02:35:22.120 You're just not going to do it right. 2960 02:35:22.159 --> 02:35:24.520 And it's the same sort of situation with these airports 2961 02:35:24.520 --> 02:35:27.159 because look when I was in Monroe, Louisiana, my first post, 2962 02:35:27.600 --> 02:35:29.719 and it's snow two inches. I mean, it was three 2963 02:35:29.799 --> 02:35:32.959 days of nothing happening, and you'd have these flyers from 2964 02:35:33.239 --> 02:35:35.520 New York. They would come in and I mean they 2965 02:35:35.520 --> 02:35:37.719 would just go crazy on us because it's like, what 2966 02:35:37.719 --> 02:35:39.680 do you mean it's like a dust that. Yeah, we 2967 02:35:39.719 --> 02:35:41.879 get it, but we don't have any snow removal equipment 2968 02:35:42.239 --> 02:35:45.200 because it doesn't happen that often. And look when you 2969 02:35:45.239 --> 02:35:48.040 see a snowball fights on Bourbon Street on the front 2970 02:35:48.040 --> 02:35:51.319 page of Street Journal, pretty good indication that that well 2971 02:35:51.440 --> 02:35:52.879 two one global warming has. 2972 02:35:52.879 --> 02:35:53.360 Yet to said. 2973 02:35:53.399 --> 02:35:56.200 Is the other thing is this is a very very 2974 02:35:56.239 --> 02:36:00.000 historic storm that you just got to shrug your shoulders 2975 02:36:00.120 --> 02:36:02.280 and pray everybody's going to be okay, and you're sorry 2976 02:36:02.319 --> 02:36:06.399 for everybody got hurt or killed. But from an aviation standpoint, 2977 02:36:06.719 --> 02:36:08.799 there's just very little that can be done about it. 2978 02:36:08.959 --> 02:36:09.280 Yeah. 2979 02:36:09.360 --> 02:36:11.360 Well, and I suppose you were a bit surprised to 2980 02:36:11.360 --> 02:36:13.920 see four inches of snow and you're Charleston home. 2981 02:36:13.719 --> 02:36:17.159 Oh my god, Oh no, in Savannah, Yeah, Savannah. We 2982 02:36:17.239 --> 02:36:20.399 actually came back to Ohio to escape the Savannah snowstorm 2983 02:36:20.399 --> 02:36:22.639 because I think the record was like three inches from 2984 02:36:22.799 --> 02:36:26.120 eighteen something and they got four inches that was on 2985 02:36:26.200 --> 02:36:29.719 top of snow, and yeah, they're losing their minds down there, 2986 02:36:29.760 --> 02:36:31.920 but it's just yeah, we had to come to Ohio 2987 02:36:31.959 --> 02:36:35.000 to escape the Savannah snowstorm. That shows you how crazy 2988 02:36:35.040 --> 02:36:35.680 these days are. 2989 02:36:36.239 --> 02:36:39.639 Jay rat Love. Always enjoy our conversations, my friend. We'll 2990 02:36:39.639 --> 02:36:41.879 do it again next Thursday.
