(00:29):

Roll Hall of Fame, which isso important. Bless America. Please,
Dear God, bless America. Wecould certainly use it. It is five
oh six here on a Friday,even a very happy one to you CNN
presidential debate. It's like referring tothe Super Bowl as the Big Game,

(01:15):
Joe, you have to refer toit as the CNN presidential debate. Yes,
that's a part of the rules.And other network's not real thrilled about
that because you have to carry theCNN moniker. Anyhow, we'll get to
some of the details on that.Today's a big day. Give me stand
up to watch the debate. Whodo you think is gonna will prevail?
I suppose saying there's a winner orlosers one way of talking about it.

(01:40):
But anyhow, any I suppose it'sDonald Trump's to lose, and by all
accounts anyway, what's coming up today? Seven thirty Donovan and Neo recapping the
Marathon House session in Columbus. We'lldo that at seven thirty, highlighting the
four point two billion dollar capital budgetbill, which, as I see year

in northeast Ohio, twenty million dollarsfor the Cleveland Land Bridge, eight million
dollars for the Bedrock Riverfront Development,seven million dollars for the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, seven million dollarsfor the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

the Cleveland Women's Pro Soccer Stadium.Here in southwest Ohio, forty six million

So congratulations Goshen. It's cool.The one that got knocked out in the
tornado, Joe. How many yearsago was that? Was it last year?

(03:35):

filed by the department of Justice.Oh cran Air flight forced to descend quickly,

(04:24):

weeks this has happened a lot ofpeople flying and mother got booted off a
flight for apparently using the wrong pronouns. Always looking forward to I heard media
aviation expert Jay Ratliffe, and ofcourse tomorrow we'll talk about the debate.
Get your comments and Get Tech Fridaywith Dave Hadder speaking of comments, Love

(04:45):
to hear from you now five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
eight hundred eighty two to three talkO pound five fifty on AT and T
phones. And it's been, youknow, people not interested in talking about
drugs and drug use and whether it'sO'biden's going to be jacked up on drugs.
I just have an outloud question onthat one. Biden camp has refused

(05:09):
to drug test Joe Biden, andof course you would expect that, and
of course Donald Trump has been talkingabout the guy at Biden being jacked up
on drugs. There's been conversations aboutit, the whole bunch of articles this
morning all over the internet about drugsand drug use, and people do it
all the time, be twelve injectionsand adderall and on and on and on.
Can I just ask an out loudquestion, if you're in Joe Biden's

(05:29):
camp and Joe Biden is not ondrugs, why wouldn't you accept that the
Yeah, we'll do a drug testand really make a big deal about it.
See we told you, of coursehe's not on drugs. Wouldn't you,
I mean, wouldn't you embrace theopportunity to basically throw that charge,
which has been floating around for solong among so many circles, just chuck

(05:53):
it into the toilet, see wetold you? Or they aren't really telling
us that, are they. They'rejust refusing to acknowledge that and just dismissing
it as just Donald Trump being DonaldTrump. If you have a more effective
argument than that, why not takethem up on it. I'm just asking,

(06:18):
just ask you can put the wholething to rest, unless, of
course, there's some validity to thecharge. That's what lingers out there.
If you don't address it head onanyway, John McLoughlin's got a new pull
out. American voters want to hearabout substance. They don't want to hear
the e bickering and the infighting thatwe are talking about. Even with that

(06:40):
that particular comment about the drugs.Trump now leading Biden forty six forty four
in a head to head. Youthrow in a couple other candidates in there,
Robert F. Kennedy, Cornell West, Jill Stein, Chase Oliver,
who nine percent remain undecided even ina multi candidate race. But Trump gets
thirty nine percent of Biden's thirty seven. When you put everybody else in there
and divide up the balance among thoseof other candidates. Huh. And according

(07:06):
to John McLoughlin's pulling, as Iwas mentioning all the speculation about drug testing
and stamina, voters apparently don't wantto hear about it. They want to
hear about what really matters to them. And Joe Biden not doing real well
among the issues that really matter topeople. Inflation, high prices and inflation

(07:27):
the number one or second choice amongforty nine percent of everybody pulled. Of
course, that would be and thisis one Biden can't hide behind because everybody
goes grocery shopping, everybody occasionally goesout to dinner and gets fast food,
and has to seize the reality ofwhat inflation has done. After inflation,

(07:51):
the Border Secure Board and immigration cominginto thirty one percent, jobs and economy
of twenty one percent, and SoCIS security medicare at sixteen percent. They're
accusing Donald Trump of wanting to cutSOCIS Security. I don't think he's ever
uttered those words, although at somepoint elected officials are going to have to
deal with the realities of the SocialSecurity program, which we all know,

(08:13):
if you've been paying any attention forthe past couple of decades, is running
out of money. It was builton a model that doesn't exist anymore where
there were about twenty workers for everysingle person on Social Security. And back
in the day when people used todie when they were sixty eight years old.

(08:33):
Now we have a life expectancy wellinto the mid eighties, and people
are on Social Security for a wholelot longer than they used to be,
taking out more than they ever putin. And we all know Social Security
is not exactly the best scheme forinvestment. You're not really getting an investment.
If I long for the days whenwe theoretically could have put that money

(08:54):
away for our own benefit in afour to one K type program where it
would actually grow and grow and grow, unlike well what we have now,
which is, you know, spendit as soon as it's taken in from
the American taxpayer. Low on thelist of people in terms of priorities protecting

(09:15):
democracy slash January sixth, fifteen percentof the people are concerned about that and
abortion. You know, anybody who'sconcerned about democracy just needs to laugh out
loud if they accuse Donald Trump ofbeing the person who's going to take democracy
away. I can still read theConstitution. I know it's the supreme law

(09:39):
of the land. And who's who'swell, I suppose it's a multi party
effort to undermine the Constitution. Talkabout that with Judge Annapoloton almost every single
week. And you know, again, an abortion. I don't know why
this is a topic of discussion ona federal level. The Supreme Court said
it is not within the powers reservedby the federal government. Is a state
issue. It's now for the statesto argue about how many damned times do

(10:03):
I have to say that and remindpeople about that. Federal level politicians can
just say, I'm sorry, it'sno longer my Yeah, so she'd say
that tonight. Look, Supreme Courtspoken states you deal with it. Sixty
eight percent, according to the Micgloughlinpolling says country is on the wrong track.
Twenty five percent said we're moving theright direction. That spells bad news

(10:24):
for Biden. Economic issues forty threepercent are numero uno inflation leading concern for
voters. Fifty percent of all voterssay the economy is indeed in a recession,
again bad for the Biden administration.Sixty two percent say the economy is

(10:46):
getting worse, meaning we're not veryoptimistic, again spelling bad news for the
Biden administration. Only thirty one percentof people polled said it was getting better.
I don't know where those folks arecoming from. Let us see here.
Eighty four percent have been negatively impactedby inflation. Have you been impacted
by inflation plus or minus? That'sa huge chunk half of the nation.

(11:11):
Forty nine percent say they are struggling. That's in quotes. That was part
of the question. To afford basicnecessities. Fifty eight percent of Trump voters.
Undecided voters sixty two percent say they'restruggling, and those undecided voters may
very well tip the balance and thescales on this election. Voters struggling with
inflation increases among independents, another keydemographic fifty four percent Black voters, forty

(11:37):
three percent Hispanic voters, fifty threepercent, young adult voters fifty three percent
women, fifty three percent. Hmm, all those areas where Biden's usually polling
really well. Whether that struggling withinflation translates to an opinion about any given
candidate does remain to be seen.But if it's on your watch, you're

(11:58):
usually held accountable whether or not itis your fault or not. And I'll
let you decide amongst yourselves whether Bidenhas anything to do with the realities of
us having to deal with inflation.Two thirds of all voters disagree with Joe
Biden when he says inflation is goingdown. We're more wiser than that out
here in the real world. Let'ssee here. Sixty seven percent of all

(12:22):
voters agree with Trump's statement that ofthe Justice Department and FBI can be weaponized
and prosecute President Trump for political votivesin the future, they will prosecute other
political opponents. Well, those apparentlypeople have been studying history and looked around
at the rest of the world andsee that that happens all the time.
Usually not in the United States though, but we're learning lessons from you know,

(12:45):
evil dictatorships and communist regimes around theworld. Forty one percent approof of
Biden's handling of the job he's doing. Job disapprovals weakening, and it's core
among Biden's core constituencies. Twenty onepercent of Democrats, thirty eight percent of

(13:07):
Black voters, fifty three percent ofHispanic voters, and fifty four percent of
women disapprove with Biden's job or thepath that he is on. So not
exactly great figures for the Biden administration. And again, one more poll,
and I know how my listeners feelabout polls, but that's a consistent sort

(13:28):
of it's a pole that's consistent withmany of the others that have come out.
That's kind of what they're all showing. They are showing what you and
I are feeling, most notably onthe economy and inflation. Just shy five

(15:16):
State Representative Jennifer Gross talking about thecapitol budget. A little late to
call your elected officials in Columbus.The four point two billion dollar capital budget
did pass. Let us see heretransgender bathroom bill can go ahead and get
into that, since we only havea couple of minutes left in the segment.
Sprise late night vote concluded a marathonlegislative session before the lawmakers broke for

(15:39):
summer. Let us see here.They voted to ban transgender students from using
school bathrooms that align with their genderidentity. Senate has to agree with the
Chainsborcos the governor to Wine's desk questionmark whether he'll sign A House panel approved
the standalone bill on transgender bathroom inApril, Speaker Jason Stevens didn't bring it

(16:03):
up for a full vote. Proponentscontent will help protect children, while critics
say it's another attempt by the GOPcontrolled legislator to restrict the rights of LGBTQ.
Ohioan's quote Representative Beth Liston Democrat Dublin, we continue to focus on children's
genitals rather than their education. Let'sstop right there. Yeah, we do,

(16:30):
don't we. Why don't we getrid of all the curriculum related to
focusing on genitals and their sexual proclivities, conversations that should be reserved for adult
communications. Let's just take that outof the curriculum, period of story.
But when we talking about this,then, Beth Listing, anyway, we

(16:52):
continue to focus on children's genitals ratherthan their education, which was the original
intent of this bill. As faras protecting girls and women, I will
tell you as a woman that Ineither want nor need your protection and I'm
frankly sick of being told otherwise.Oh okay, I wonder if Beth Liston
has any young girls like her ownchildren that I don't know may have a

(17:15):
problem walking into a bathroom and seeingsome guy, some thirty plus year old
guy buck naked in the women's bathroom. Legislation approved would require K through twelve
and college students to use the bathroomsand locker rooms and match their sex at
birth. Also prohibit schools from lettingstudents share overnight accommodations with the opposite biological

(17:41):
sex. HU didn't even realize thatwas going on. Restrictions don't apply to
school employees, emergency situations, orpeople assisting young children or someone with a
disability. Schools could still offer singleuse and family facilities. Nay twenty sixty

morning. Dennis, thanks for calling. A very happy Friday eve to you.
Happy Friday to you as well.Say, the question of medications that
Joe Biden is big administer is reallya matter of which ones. If you
take a look at his affection forsunglasses, he's probably taking something to strengthen

(20:00):
his heartbeat, which will have atendency to slow it down. When it
slows down, He's probably getting anothermedication that will stabilize his heart beat,
prevented a rhythmia or vetricular fit relationthat kill him right on the stage.
So the question is it was closeenough to remove him from the candidacy.

(20:22):
He won't remove himself. He's gottoo much of an ego for that.
And I certainly am praying for himbecause I want him to run as a
Republican. He's the best amateur,best Democrat we could have to run against.
I'm terribly concerned that people that areinclined to have him leave the race

(20:45):
would be Democrats. Yeah, yeah, there's no question about it. They've
they got themselves in a jam becauseof Kamala Harris. She is not a
viable candidate for office. And theyknow that, you know, this is
the problem. They've god nobody likesher at all. The Democrats hate they
know she's an idiot, and theyhave got her lined up because Joe Biden

(21:07):
obviously has got one foot in thegrave already. So yeah, and many
people are speculating that these early debate, Remember, neither candidate has gotten the
party's nomination yet the conventions haven't takenplace. One of the reasons many people
are saying they're doing this early debateis for the purpose that you're talking about.
Use it as an opportunity to getrid of Joe Biden. If he
performs miserably tonight, if he fumblesaround and he's in coherent, and he

(21:33):
looks like he literally has that footin the grave, then they may use
it as an opportunity to pull theplug and do a Bernie Sanders at the
convention. Sorry, take him inthe back room. It's not your night.
We're replacing you with fill in theblank, and the fill in the
Blank's got a lot of people worried. Of course it does if it's anybody
who's remotely remotely popular. With thehatred that exists for Donald Trump. Can

(21:56):
you imagine Joe Biden's pulling numbers areonly a couple of points behind Donald Trump's
and he's this bad. I mean, it's that we are all witnesses to
the reality of this presidency. He'sterrible. I mean, we're talking about
is he going to be able toeven manage a debate that is a conversation

(22:17):
that the nation is having about theleader of the free world. This isn't
like, you know, you know, he's got a better position on social
security or inflation or fill in theblank, any of the topics that really
literally impact Americans day to day.We're talking about whether or not the guy's
going to be able to manage ninetyminutes worth a conversation a politician. Any

(22:41):
politicianshould be able to do that standingon their head. That shouldn't be even
but here we are talking about it. I'm gonna find out tonight, all
of us will. But I likeJoe Biden running for office too, because
yeah, Kamala Harris is number twoand nobody wants either of them, at
least as they can stand right now. Five on three seven nine fifty five

(33:06):
arrested on simple battery charge for herledged involvement in the fight. Idiots doing
idiot things because they're idiots. Yes, indeed, mm hmm, here's one
gotta go to Florida at least onetime in the stack is stupid, right,

(33:28):
Folk County, Florida, a deputyarrested after showing up to work on
Saturday morning with signs of being intoxicated. According to the Sheriff's office release,
He announced that the deputy, identifiedas Joseph Everett, who's twenty seven years
old, had the smell of alcoholin his breath, leading to a supervisor
to believe he was drunk. Headmitted to drinking around three coffee mugs of

(33:51):
whiskey those are his words the nightbefore, and a sobriety test indicated that
he was impaired. Jarff Grady Juddspeak with News anytime someone chooses to drive
under the influence of alcohol, itshows a lack of good judgment. If
you lack proper judgment when it comesto drinking and driving, you have no
business working in law enforcement. Wehold our deputies to a higher standard than

(34:12):
the community, and he failed tomeet that standard. He cooperated with the
investigation ultimately resigned upon arrest. Hehad worked with the Sheriff's office for two
years. Three coffee, mugs ofwhiskey, fecal soup runoff apparently record blanking

(34:37):
by breaking floods going on in northwestIowa. Environmental groups are warning of the
potential health risk from flooded factory farmsand manure runoff. WHOA, that's a
lot of feast apparently Iowa floods.Biden declared them a major disaster. Officials
warren residents in various regions not todrink the water did a bacterial contamination.
Food and Water Watch, an environmentalwatchdog group, warned that flooding on factory

(35:00):
farms will only exacerbate the contamination andthreat in the area already severe public health
risks. Factory farm waste poses aserious threat to public health, they say,
especially when it's flooding your living room. Interesting astute observation from Amanda Starbuck,
the research director at Food and WaterWatch, manure pits and lagoons are

(35:22):
disasters waiting to happen. She said, when extreme weather hits, they put
everything downstream at risk of serious contaminations. Islands recovering from these devastating floods must
remain on constant guard against the threatof animal waste contaminating properties, supplies and
waterways. There's your attack on bigfarming, and go over across the pond,

(35:42):
Denmark, make it to the stackof stupid. We'll introduce the world's
first emissions tax on agriculture, requiringfarms to pay for greenhouse gases related to
their cow, sheep and pig flatulence. Dear, what the hell? The
Denmark government aim to lower greenhouse gasemissions by seventy percent. By count of

(36:05):
your twenty thirty quote, we willtake a big step closer to becoming climate
neutral in twenty forty five. Thatfrom Taxation Minister Jeff Bruce Taxation Minister.
Interesting title that one. Let's seewhat Greg got. Greg, welcome to
the program. In a very happyFriday eve to you. Thanks for calling
this morning. Lauren Brian was tellingJoe that day, lack of expectations for

(36:32):
Joe. Basically he doesn't have todril himself or have unnecessary bowel movements during
the debate and he pretty much haswon. Well, that's where we are
that we Greg, you would calland I hear you, and that's really

(36:53):
a legitimate point that people are making, and that's why I sit here in
bewildered that this is the reality thatthe bar has been set so low that
as long as he doesn't drool onhimself or you know, dumping his pants,
that he's going to be the winner. That's where we are. Welcome

(37:14):
to America twenty twenty four five fiftyfive fifty five krc Detalk Station. More
to talk about your comments, maybeanticipating you want to place bets on the
debate tonight. Feel free to giveme a call, let me know where
you are in terms of odds.I'll be right back after the news world,
he guess, don't exactly happen ona schedule? What the latest stump

(37:35):
dings do? At the top ofevery hour fifty five KRC BE Talkstation,
Why is Navage Perfect? Fifty fivekrc DE Talk Station. Brian Thomas wishing
in a very happy Friday Eve andinviting you stick around all morning. Today
we get to hear from Donovan andNeil. We're going to talk about yesterday's
marathon house session in Columbus where theydid pass that four point two billion dollar
budget filled with all kinds of funand games, most notably allocations for sports

(38:01):
teams. And I don't understand,I really don't you know, a finite
number of dollars and we end upfunding you know, private individuals who make
millions and millions of dollars off theirindividual sports teams. Eh. Anyway,
constant struggle for me. Anyway,that's what we've got and that's what we're
going to hear about. From Donovanand Eil at seven thirty right here,

(38:21):
also at eight oh five from IsraelD T. Del Toro US Officers Senior
Master Sergeant Retired's got a book,a Patriots Promise now on paperback. Protecting
my brothers, fighting for my lifeand keeping my words should be a good
conversation. At eighth five fall By, I heard media aviation expert Jay rietl
Off at eight thirty Love talking toJay Boeing facing charges by the Department of

(38:45):
Justice. Now Korean air flight forcedto descend quickly, dropping twenty seven thousand
feet over fifteen minutes and injuring seventeenpeople in the process, tsa record blown
away again, more people screened thanever before. It's the second time it's
happened in a couple of weeks.And then finally a mom got thrown off
a flight for using the wrong pronouns. Plus a hub delay update. We

(39:06):
always get that from Jay Ratliffe,and of course tonight it's a big night
tune in. I guess nine PM'swhen it starts the CNN debate. Other
networks a little upset about CNN andthe parameters that are required if you're planning
on airing it, which apparently we'redoing. Fifty five KRC is going to
be carrying the CNN Presidential Debate.Got to call it that because that's what

(39:29):
the formal name is going to happentonight nine pm. If you are unable
to watch it on television, youcan listen at fifty five KRC. Check
it out at fifty five KRC dotcom. You can get your iHeartMedia app.
And of course the podcast people can'tlisten to Judge of Paulatano at eight
thirty on Wednesday, you know yougot a place to find it talked about
Julian Assange now a free man.So anyway, live feet of the debate

(39:52):
happening tonight. Those outlets who chooseto run this must run it in full
screen with the CNN logo visible.According to the terms of network distributed,
other channels are not allowed to cutaway from the debate. Or air any
analysis during commercial breaks. Isn't thatstrange? You can't even comment on it

(40:13):
if you're running it. Other networksmust refer to the event as quote CNN
Presidential Debate close quote. It's likeyou can't utter the word super Bowl because
you don't own the rights of thesuper Bowl. You got to call it
the big Game. In this particularcase, you must call it the CNN
Presidential Debate. All promotions, advertisements, and TV listings must refer to it

(40:37):
as the CNN Presidential Debate simulcast.Wow. White House Correspondence Association wrote to
CNN earlier this week asking that thenetwork allow their representatives to sit in the
studio during the debate. CNN said, how about no, The network is

(41:04):
allowing a limited number of still photographersin the debate room. Some eight hundred
others have to watch the feed ina building across the street from the main
studio. Interesting this concern among othernetworks is that something could happen in the
debate room that only CNN journalists wouldwitness. Unlike past contest, the debate

(41:25):
does not have a live audience.Microphones the other candidate are going to be
muted when the other one is speaking, which prevents Donald Trump from interjecting.
Suggest that this could mean a rivaljournalists miss gestures as well as the sides
during CNN's coverage, or something moreserious like a medical emergency involving one of

(41:45):
the candidates. Again, we're havingthis conversation, and you know who that
medical emergency refers to, don't youthat? In an article from Yahoo in
the finance section, check it outand over to Jason Riley at the Wall
Street Journal, the presidential debate isDonald Trump's to lose, so he points

(42:09):
out, and good analysis from Jasonrally. It does a wonderful job,
which is why I'm going to readhis words here. Don't let anybody convince
you otherwise. Our summer bliss isbeing interrupted by an unusually early election year
debate because President Biden's campaign is introuble and the White House is hoping that
a solid performance today in front ofa national audience will help reshape his public

(42:30):
image. That's possible, Jason observes, but unlikely. If the election were
held today, Biden would almost certainlylose, which is why so much more
is at stake for the President hastelevised mono Amana with Donald Trump. In
addition to energizing his supporters, thepresident must convince skeptical party insiders that he

(42:52):
has what it takes physically and mentallyto win a second term. Note that
he's referring to skeptical party insiders.That would be dem talking about their own
guy. President Trump has no suchbarriers. If he has a bad night,
his campaign will go on. IfBiden stumbles, it could be a

(43:12):
game over. As Democrats call forhim to be replaced on the ballot,
there's still time for that. Democratsfreely acknowledge their dilemma when speaking off the
record. Political Politico not exactly aright wing bastion over a Politico Politico reported
last month quote a pervasive sense offear has settled in at the highest levels

(43:35):
of the Democratic Party over President JoeBiden's re election prospects, even among office
holders and strategists who had previously expressedconfidence about the coming battle with Trump.
That article colorfully headlined Dems in fullblown freak out over Biden. Again,
that's on Politico. I mean,honestly, folks, I read Politico every

(43:58):
single day in preparation for the show. It is left leaning, but I
like to sprinkle around my research amongboth right and left leaning sites get a
full iea of where people are inany given topic, and Politico is not
a bad place to go for that. It's no wonder Democrats are freaking out.
Jason Right. Survey shows that blackand Hispanic support for Trump has grown

(44:19):
significantly, and labeling him as afascist threat to our democracy hasn't resonated with
voters. Why hasn't it resonated becauseit's an outright fabrication. Again, as
I regularly point out, read thedefinition of fascism and then decide which party
is more interested in controlling you andyour business and the means of production.

(44:42):
Generally, you won't find too manypeople falling into the Republican camp on that
it's fascism and it's Democrats. Democraticefforts to keep Trump off the ballot failed,
and they're nakedly partisan prosecutions of theformer president of consolidated his GOP support.
Trump out raised Biden by more thansixty million dollars last month and has

(45:05):
all but a raised the president's fundraisingedge. Trump has a small but steady
lead both national polling and more important, in most of the battleground states that
are expected to decide the race.He's ahead in Arizona, for example,
a state he narrowly lost to Bidenfour years ago. Mister Trump's attempt to

(45:25):
expand the election map for Republicans bycampaigning in traditionally blu states is a sign
of confidence that ought to terrify theWhite House. Hey, you know,
it's a pretty good image Donald Trump'sputting out there. Say what you want
about the guy. He shows upin the most dangerous neighborhoods in the in
the worst, you know, economicallydepressed areas of town, speaking with people
of all different races and creeds andethnicities, while, of course Joe Biden's

(45:51):
mingling with Hollywood elites not exactly agreat image, especially when you're supposed to
be the party of the poor andun served in the community Democrats. No
GOP presidential candidate has carried Minnesota sinceRichard Nixon in nineteen seventy two, but

(46:13):
Biden won there in twenty twenty byseven points. However, an Emerson College
poll out this month has Biden tiedin Minnesota with Donald Trump. CBS News
reported that the Trump campaign is inthe process of opening eight new offices in
the state. Meanwhile, Team Bidenhas been forced to focus on holding his

(46:34):
lead and states that Democrats shouldn't evenhave to worry about. Last month,
he stumped in New Hampshire and openeda campaign office in Virginia, states he
comfortably won in twenty twenty. Willtoday be an inflection point the debate tonight?
Mister Trump was eager to debate,but Biden was reluctant until he got
his terms, which include no studioaudience, no third party candidates, a

(46:57):
friendly host CNN with moderators who areobviously biased against Donald Trump. Just hear
what they've had to say over theyears. There's some montage clips out there
over the debate moderators and the horrificthings they've said about Donald Trump. It's
actually embarrassing as far as I'm concerned. Microphones, it can be muted if

(47:20):
a candidate speaks out of turn.Now it's up to the President to replicate
his widely praised State of the Unionperformance from March without the teleprompter. CNN's
stars will align to help mister Bidendo that. No doubt. The cable
network may have credibly objective journalists onstaff who could moderate the debate but Jake

(47:42):
Tapper and Dana Bash aren't among them. Going back to my point earlier,
Jason Rally points mister Tapper referred tothe Trump presidency as a long national nightmare.
Bash critical of the Supreme Court's decisionto keep Trump on the ballot in
Colorado, and has accused the formerpresid that have been citing domestic war.
Expect to their questions to reflect thosesentiments. Even with the help of moderators.

(48:09):
However, it will be a challengefor the President to avoid reinforcing the
negative impressions about his advanced age anddiminished faculties. If Biden is mumbling incoherently
and constantly losing his train of thought, neither of which is uncommon for him
these days, it's all anyone willremember. The best debate prep for this

(48:31):
president is what the White House hasstudiously minimized, allowing mister Biden to speak
off the cuff for extended periods.Today, he'll need to spend ninety minutes
doing something he rarely does. Democratsremain convinced that banging away with Donald Trump's

(48:52):
characters all they need to prevail November. That may have been true in twenty
twenty when no one knew how Bidenwould perform as as president. Now voters
do know, and they can comparemister Biden's record with mister Trump. It
isn't a comparison that Biden welcomes,which is why the debate is mister Trump's

(49:13):
to lose. Jason Riley, Amen, brother, I agree with you all
day long on that six seventeen fiftyfive KRC DE Talk station. Feel free
to comment. Maybe you've got adifferent idea about it. I'd love to
hear from you if you've got somethingto say. Maybe you're going to do
a little tea leaf reading and letme know how you think that's going to
turn out. Tonight, it's comingup at sixty eighteen fifty five KRC Talk
station. Time to me to steeryou in the right direction, a direction

(49:35):
that will save you thousands of dollarsand end up with you getting better medical
insurance. How could that possibly be? That's Cover? SINCEY, it's what
they do each and every day,John Rowman and the team at Cover.
Since he putting coverage up front,like dollar one coverage, there are ways
you can even make money on gettinginsured with Cover. SINCEY, it's amazing
how this works. Like my sonhas experienced this. He got his medical

(49:57):
insurance to cover since he went toa doc thure to physical and got a
check back for more than two hundreddollars for going to the doctor. Yes,
I'll let John explain how that worksto you, but it's one of
the ways he can save you heaploads of money annually and put coverage up
front. So a lot of peoplelive at a paycheck to paycheck and one
thousand dollars bill maybe three thousand orten thousand dollars or one hundred thousand dollars

(50:20):
bill could devastate your family. Sodon't have to make the financial decisions when
it comes to your medical insurance andyour health. You shouldn't be scared of
the emergency room bill, and Johnand the team at covers since he can
alleviate that fear. Couples hundred sixtyfive saving five hundred to one thousand dollars
a month. That would be myneighbors. He saved him more than seven
hundred dollars a month just this mostrecently a couple like a week or two

(50:40):

free to call like Steve did ittake Steve Call Steve, Welcome to the
program and a very happy Friday Eveto you, sir. You're always in
such a bad mood near the endof the week. I need to call
you Monday mornings. This is you'reyou're you're rather sorroughly towards the end of
the week, knowing you're going toget some some days to sleep in.
I know it's pretty obvious. Thepeople can obviously tell I love my Fridays

(52:31):
here. You know, there's nothingwrong with that. You know what you
need to do do three day weekendsoccasionally or more often than you do.
I mean, we would miss you, but it's kind of a nice way
to use vacation days. I appreciateyou know, take Fridays off or Monday's
off. Well, see you know, but I mean by Friday programming because

(52:51):
I get tech Friday with Dave Hatter, you know, I get Ron Wilson
and the lighter guests, and quiteoften Joe Will you know, arrange for
lighter subject matter guests on Friday.So Friday isn't really feeling like as much
work as when I get up onMonday and I'm staring at the stack of
depression, which I stare out allweek, and it's just I approach it
in a different way on a Friday. That's just that's just the way I

(53:12):
am. I hear you on that. But when you walk out of there
on Thursday, if you're taking Fridayoff, it doesn't matter what the lineup
is the fact that you know,you get the wake up at what two
thirty in the morning, that iscorrect, which is a rough time to
wake up about the debate tonight.To me this hopefully you'll get a disciplined
Trump two comments on this. Iam dumb founded, and this should be

(53:37):
I mean the White House, youknow, Press secretary should be questioned about
this incessantly. You've got a sittingpresident that has hunkered down for seven eight
days preparing for a ninety minute debateand doing that, there is nothing on

(53:57):
his schedule other than bait preparation thatthat is is very sad. Hopefully at
the end of the debate, whatthe Trumpster ought to do is with his
his ending comment is name his vicepresidential running mate. A lot of people
are expecting that. A lot ofpeople it would be that, especially if
he doesn't do as well, thenboom. That's what everybody talks about.

(54:21):
But we'll see what happens. Wewill. My popcorn is already out.
I am anxiously awaiting, and Iprobably will stay up and watch the whole
thing, which is unusual for me. And then given that I will be
getting up at two thirty tomorrow likeevery other day. Streker, however,
will not be here tomorrow, andhe won't be here on Monday either,
being abandoned by Joe Strecker. Dannywill be covering for him, which is

(54:44):
a good thing. And you havea competent person covering for the irreplaceable Joe
Strecker. So Joe took your advice. You can feel forty call five on

Donovan and Neil one hour. He'sgonna recap the Marathon House session. Yesterday
in Columbus, the four point twocapital budget passed millions and millions of dollars

(59:40):
for various community projects and a lotof money for sports, including seven million
dollars for the Rock and Roll Hallof Fame and seven million dollars for the
Pro Football Hall of Fame. Yeah, a million dollars to the Cleveland Women's
Pro Soccer Stadium. We got twentyseven and a half million dollars of the
CINCINNTY opened ten tournament, eight milliondollars for the River Bend Development. H.

(01:00:07):
Greg Lawson, with a conservative thinktank, Buckeye and Studt, doesn't
think the state should be spending moneyon arts and sports. These are limited
resources. They are taxpayer dollars.You said. They need to go to
things the government needs to do andneeds to do well. Lawson said,
it's all about prioritization, return oninvestment, making sure that we're doing what
government should be doing and letting theprivate sector do what the private sector should

(01:00:29):
do. Amen, brother, andhere a rare point of agreement for me.
Gene Schmidt and I are agreeing onsomething. Pivoting over Ohio. House
lawmakers approved three energy bills yesterday,from offering incentives to building natural gas pipelines
and installing smart thermostats to labeling nuclearenergy green, which it is they say.

(01:00:51):
After months of delay, the socalled bipartisan built to incentivize energy efficiency
passed fifty to forty five opposition fromseveral Republicans. House Bills seventy nine is
going to charge you, a residentialcustomer up to a dollar fifty each month
to pay utilities for rebates and discountson smart thermostats, energy efficient appliances in

(01:01:15):
other ways that will reduce the consumer'selectricity. Use smart thermostats alone, they
claim, lower temperatures when residents arein home. If you set them to
do that can save customers between tenand fifteen percent of their bills. They
can go ahead and buy one.You can get in them at the hardware
store. They're not that expensive.Get them through the utilities you and I

(01:01:35):
are going to pay for because they'regoing to tack on a dollar fifty each
month on your utility bill to coverwell the acquisition of a smart thermostat,
which if it reduces your bill tento fifteen percent, should be enough incentive
for you to go ahead and buyone anyway, right, okay. Representative
Bill Sites in support of this HPseventy nine is designed to promote the cheapest
form of energy that exists, theenergy that isn't used by reason of conservation

(01:01:59):
and efficiency. Now you can optout of this. Apparently, this dollar
fifty fee the fee which will lastup to five years. Before the program
begins, they say customers will receivetwo notices in the mail about how to
opt out. You must take anaffirmative step to opt out, otherwise you're
going to get a dollar fifty feetacked on so the utilities companies can hand

(01:02:21):
out free smart meters. I guessSites and Representative Bride Rose Sweeney, Democrat
out of Westlake, worked with environmentalists, energy users, and Ohio utilities to
create this compromise, which Sites emphasizedwas new and improved over the pre House
Bill six approach, and that wasthe one that got everybody in trouble,

(01:02:42):
including Larry Householder who's now serving jailtime for bribery and corruption. You remember
that one, don't you. RepresentativeGene Schmidt quote, this is not the
time to charge o'hilan's a dollar fiftyextra a month on their electric bill,
pointing out that Ohioans can turn offtheir lights to be more energy efficient.

(01:03:05):
Ohioans are smart enough to know theycan reduce their energy cost. Well,
Jane, I'm with you on thatone. At least that we've got.
Anderson Township have deputies from Hamilton CountySheriff's officer responded to with theft that turned

(01:03:25):

and of course they offer classes,including the Concealed Carrick class, which

(01:05:00):
is very, very popular and withgood reason. If you want reciprocity in
a state, you want to makesure if you're traveling out of state with
your firearm that you have that CCWpermit, because that's what establishes reciprocity and
states that require that. Now,if you're in an open carry state,
or rather a constitutional carry state andyou don't need one, but it's good
to have one, I have one, and I strongly encourage folks to get

(01:05:21):
it. Plus, you're going tolearn a lot taking the class. Speaking
a learning a lot. If youdon't know anything about firearms but you're interested
in, you get in owning thegreat equalizer. M Yeah, take the

dollar fifty charge so that utility companiescan hand out free smart meters or something.
Joe Trekers hav you this announcement fromher office. She's against the dollar
fifty charge, but brings home thebacon for her district champion the following investments
in local capital projects. At herannouncement, she's happy that two hundred and

(01:07:38):
forty eight thousand dollars was secure toconstruct four new pickleball courts at the Miami
Riverview Park. One hundred and fiftygrand ability Dan Beard Skilled Trade Center,
two and a half million for theGoshen fire station, which Joan I think
is probably a good investment, sinceI guess that's the one that got blown

talk Joe, Welcome to the show, and Happy Friday Eve to you.
Happy Friday Eve, and God blessas always. Grant you and the Thomas

(01:08:43):
family very much. I appreciate thatyou're quite welcome. Hey, when you
mentioned Politico, he gave me likea aha moment. I have inadvertently put
myself in an echo chamber, andI wondered, you know, if you
could tell me what source would thatbe the best source of getting an idea

(01:09:04):
of what these left wackos are thinking? You know, I'm trying to find
a source that doesn't induce vomiting.You know, Welcome to my world,
you know, ye? Yeah,So I just needed this as an old
man who just needs some advice.I'm trying to understand what these people are
thinking. You know, most ofyour well known sites, the quote unquote

(01:09:30):
mainstream media sites are going to expressan obvious political bias. I say obvious
because I read it every day.You can look for keywords and phrasing and
realize it almost a moment's time.If you're just as student enough to pay
a little bit of attention to thesubtlety that can be involved with this,
you'll see where they're leaning. Politicohappens to be a left leaning site.
I think they're kind of proud ofthat, Moniker, not as much so

(01:09:53):
as some of the crazier site ThinkDaily Cos I think is one that is
just like super uber uber left.Jones is another far far left wing.
But you know, you even getin reporting from a place like Rolling Stone
Magazine, it's all left wing leaning. You know, of course, always
default to the CNNs, MSNBC's.You may get a little vomit induction with

(01:10:14):
all that, but you know whatyou're getting into. You know what you're
getting into. That's the point ofit. But if you and then I'll
go on the other side of theLedger Gateway pundit. I got a bunch
of listeners that absolutely love that site. But oh my god, it is
so horrifically biased towards the right thatit's almost vomit inducing itself, you know.
So you know there's there's a smatteringout there that kind of maintains some

(01:10:38):
measure of neutrality, but it's notdifficult to figure it out if you're stuck
in front of it all day likeI am. It's been hours and hours
every day in front of the computers. I'm in a constant appreciate it.
Well. I appreciate that, man. I got very smart listeners, and
I'm trying to stay on top ofas many things as I possibly can because
there's that expectation that I maybe knowwhat I'm talking about, and that's not

(01:10:59):
always the case. I'm the firstperson to admit that, Joe, But
I appreciate it and your acknowledgment that, yes, it can be vomited inducing.
It's one of the tougher parts ofmy job. And I'm seriously about
that. Yeah, I joke aboutit and I have in the past.
I'm on radio five am to nineam, so there's four hours of talking
about all of this different subject matter, and I usually spend an equal amount

(01:11:23):
of time, maybe some days evenmore, sometimes even a lot more reading
the stuff online and in other areasin preparation for the next day. And
then I got an hour and ahalf before the show where I try to
catch up on stuff that happened whenI go to bed the night before.
So it's effectively an eight to tenhour job, like any other kind of
job is. But it's depressing becauseyou can't get away from this. And

(01:11:45):
I'm not the kind of person whocan turn off my emotions related to these
very very important subject matters. Imean, yeah, this kind of stuff
is near and dear to my heart. I care about our country. I
care about its future. I loveour country deeply because of the freedoms and
liberties that we are guaranteed under thatpesky thing that we call the United States

(01:12:05):
Constitution that so many of our electedofficials just walk all over every single day.
And so that really hits home tome when I see things like that
going on, like the Fourth Amendment, for example, being ignored by all
our lettered agencies. I take thatpersonally. So it's a weight of almost
like depression that kind of weighs onmy head and I wish I could turn

(01:12:28):
that off. And I joke aboutgoing on vacation because my wife would be
the first person to yell at mewhen I pull my laptop out and start
going to the news sites when I'msupposed to be taking time off away from
the job. So it's you know, I enjoy it. I'm not complaining
about my job, but it canbe extremely depressing. And I'll be the
first person to tell you if youknow, if they end up ruining your

(01:12:48):
life and you walk around in aconstant state of depression, then they win.
So score a victory from time totime for the idiots and leftists out
there who are seeking to take awaymy loved country from me. But it's
a price worth paying to help folksstay on top of this and maybe write

(01:13:08):

(01:16:01):
or go over to the phones touse the remaining time up in this
segment with Jamie, Jamie, thanksfor calling the fifty five CARSC Morning Show
and a happy Friday Eve to you. Thanks Brian, good morning. First,
I wanted to thank you for havingBrianna on yesterday. That was amazing.
She's a force and the story isalarming. I live in Butler County

(01:16:23):
and I'm appalled she's referred to BriannaMorella, who has her own show,
and I guess she along with Crowderfrom Louder with Crowder, we're nationally elevating
that story to our our attention.That was the seventeen year old intern who
worked in the Butler County Jail andhad sex with at least one of the

(01:16:43):
inmates and also brought contraband into thejail. Now facing some criminal liability and
people having a lot of question marksabout proper supervision of a teenager and how
she was able to establish a relationshipwith one or more of the inmates.
Frightening stuff. So I appreciate youryour you're commenting on that, So fifty
five care sea dot com for thepodcast. If you can get a chance
to listen to that, go ahead. Jamie. Yeah, that was great.

(01:17:05):
Also, you know, I canconnect with your your sentiments about this
being really hard work, kind ofcarrying this every day. But I just
wanted to encourage you that although it'shard, it is the right work that
you're doing and for you to take, you know, some encouragement with that.
I mean for those of us,especially who believe in God. I

(01:17:27):
mean, there's no sitting back inthis game. You know, it's like
we're in the battle. Well,I I thank you very much for that.
And I always comment about you know, listener lunches are not about me,
but I always leave a listener lunchfeeling so much better because quite often
I feel like I am the onlyperson on the planet who has the concerns
that I have for our country.You know, I'm talking and I'm bringing

(01:17:50):
this up, and is anybody listening? Does anybody else care about this like
I do? And you know,I show up at listener lunch and I
find out that, you know what, people do care and they do share
my concerns and uh and share myviewpoints at least on a lot of topics.
So can't thank you enough, Jamiefor being being among those folks.
Yeah, and I would encourage yourlisteners to not be discouraged either, and

(01:18:12):
to see where they can influence intheir sphere of living, with their neighbors
and at work and you know,being brave enough to have conversations and stepping
out because I agree. I thinkI think the majority of people are very
like minded, same care about America, care about their families kind of people
and so but yeah, it's it'shard. There's a lot of heart out

(01:18:34):
there. So I just wanted togive you a little encouragement. Ran,
I appreciate you, Jamie, You'rethe best. Thank you so much for
calling this morning. And yeah,you know, And isn't it funny that
you know, we we are reluctantto talk about so many of these things.
I don't know if social media hasdone that to us or when you
he's always been that way. You'reafraid of some backlash or something. Why

(01:18:58):
why would that bother you? Itdoesn't have to be a difficult conversation.
But even talking about things political,generally speaking, shouldn't be a point of
fear. You shouldn't walk into thatlike, oh my god, I'm concerned
about some conclusion that somebody's going todraw. You know, welcome to my
world. So what if they drawa negative conclusion from you? You endeavor
to convince them to your side ofthe ideological perspective, or that your argument

(01:19:20):
is better than theirs or sounder,have a rational debate, don't engage in
name calling. And if you walkaway hating each other, then I'm sorry
that's what happens sometimes. But sowhat can't make everybody love you, There's
no doubt about that. But talkingabout issues that are of importance to everyone
is really really something that we shouldall be doing. That's how you come

(01:19:45):
to a better solution, a betterway of doing things. Be open minded
to somebody else's suggestion, test itfor what it is, bounce it off
against your preconceived notions and your ideas. You may find out that there is
a better way out there for you, or you'll be convinced that you were
right all along in your position.Six fifty six. If you five krsite

(01:20:06):

That's in one hour fill by iheartbatthe aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. You feel
free to call as Mississippi James hasdone. Thank you so much for holding
over the break there, Mississippi James'salways a pleasure to hear from you,

(01:21:41):
sir. Hey Brian, just checkingin from Mississippi here. How's the weather
down there where? You know,for all last week we was about ten
degrees cooler than you guys were.I fight that so hard to believe.
Night, Yeah, Midnight is somewas down in the eighty and we eventually
fought back up with the nineties.But so about a week we was about

(01:22:04):
ten degrees cooler. James, WhenI hear the word in Mississippi, I
just think of humidity that you cancut with a knife. It's just whatever
it's in my head that way.So anyhow, I appreciate you listening and
calling in from Mississippi when you doback in town. My friend in August,
I'll be down here for July,and he had back up in August.

(01:22:25):
Yeah, in Mississippi in August doesnot sound like a fucking thing from
the humidity standpoint. Anyway, youdidn't call me to talk about the weather,
sir, what's on your mind today? Well, I am talking about
the weather. It's just political weather. And I just you know, look
at the pole swing back and forth. Who's in lead this day, who's

(01:22:46):
in leed that day? And asI told you, I I mentally I
positioned myself in the middle. Yeah, but down here, you know,
ay, well we know it's predominantlyred country, so a lot of time.
Matter of fact, one of thetalk show hosts here accused me of
not taking a position, and hewas asking me some loaded questions and I

(01:23:10):
said, well, you know thatthis is my opinion on him. So
he said, well, you're nottaking in a position. You're not a
man. And I said, Iam taking a position to be balanced in
the middle. I realized I don'thave no control over it. All I
have is one vote. So that'smy position. And he pauled for a

(01:23:30):
while, and he said, okay, okay, okay, I see what
you mean. I see what youmean. I said, okay, don't
attack me now, because because Iwon't give you, I won't give you
ammunition to tear me apart. Understood, Hey, you can't please all the
people all the time, can youoy some of none at the time.

(01:23:54):
And you've illustrate a great point.We all have just one vote. Some
things are clearly outside of our control. You know, we can vote for
whoever we want. In the finalanalysis, that person may not do what
we actually want them to do,which is which we're all disappointed by politicians.
But you know, when you moveover into the area of things like
global affairs, you know you're you'rebasically looking at the executive branch of the

(01:24:16):
government, and your representatives really don'thave a whole lot of say over you
know, foreign relations and the likes. You know, it's just some things
are out of our sphere of influence. Yes, sir, yes sir.
All right, you guys have agood day, just checking in. Appreciate
hearing from the Mississippi. James.You're always welcome on the show as you
are, folks. Five went threeseven fire two three talk. I started

(01:24:38):
out this morning with the McLoughlin poll, speaking of polls, and he gave
me a nice segue to this AARpeople, a poll American Association of Retired
People. Well, that was ratherinteresting because I had read other polls recently
which indicated that the older crowd,the senior crowd, was trending toward Biden.

(01:25:04):
For reasons that escaped me. Butanyway, survey published this week by
arp SS, Trump's got a threepoint lead over Biden in Nevada, one
of the obviously swing states. Wegot favored by forty eight percent of Nevada's
compared to forty five who are infavor of Biden. If the vote were

(01:25:24):
held, you know, like itwas Tuesday when the poll came out.
And if you throw in Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who is not yet
qualified for the Nevada ballot, andDemocrats are filed a lawsuit to prevent him
from being on the ballot more lawfarefrom the Democrats. Trump leads extends to
seven points, So Kennedy obviously siphoningoff more Biden voters than they are than

(01:25:47):
he is for Trump voters. AndI think that has been a trend that
it's been reflecting at other polls aswell. Trump's lead more pronounced among voters
over fifteen years. Why I bringthis one up. They prefer Trump to
Biden by double digits, fifty threeto forty one. That's voters over fifty.

(01:26:08):
Now, Biden leads among Hispanic votersin that age demographic, but it's
you know, this shows how Trumphas made significant inroads into the Hispanic community.
So, yes, voters over fiftyin the Hispanic community are fifty one
percent in favor of Biden to Trump'sforty one. But Trump's got forty one
percent of Hispanic voters in the agefifty in up category. I think that's

(01:26:30):
a sizable chunk, and probably morethan the last election. State director for
the AARP of Nevada, Maria Moore, quoted as saying, you know,
we have huge Hispanic populations, sothat vote will matter. Hispanic's made up
twenty two percent of the ELGI ofvoters in Nevada, but again a huge
chunk, still nonetheless leaning toward Trump. Battleground state not gone for a Republican

(01:26:54):
presidential candidate since two thousand and fourwhen Georgia W. Bush ran for election,
but Biden only won the state narrowlyin twenty twenty with fifty point zero
six percent of the vote. Andgiven this polling information, I would argue
that that probably isn't you know,good for Joe Biden, considering Trump is

(01:27:15):
whittling away more of the folks inthese various different ethnic groups and racial categories
as well. ARP survey founerally,forty percent of voters age fifty plus mostly
approve of Biden's job performance, fiftynine percent disapprove. Reflecting on Trump's first

(01:27:35):
term in office, fifty six percentof voters over fifty approve of what Donald
Trump did as president, only fortythree percent disapprove. So you can see
where the leanings are. And Iguess you know, inflation is a huge
issue for seniors out there, ifyou're on a fixed income, if you
have only Social Security rely on,and you head off to the grocery store

(01:27:57):
guess what evaporated. Yeah, that'ssocial Security check. So you know,
Joe Biden can run around and screamall day long about how great things are,
but you and I see the realityof it. I'm not even in
that age. Well, I amin the over fifty age category, but
my wife and I are still earningsalaries. We are not yet on a
fixed income. And you know,lo, wow, whoa heck go to

(01:28:19):
the Kroger. You look at yourgrocery bill every week and it's like,
oh my god, I've said noto things that we can afford. It's
like, I'm not spending that muchmoney on it. I remember how much
it was not that long ago,and I'll be damned if I'm going to
spend you know, twenty percent moreon something that, you know, what

(01:28:41):
is maybe an item that you don'tnecessarily need. Just say no. And
that's what people are having to doacross this great land of ours. And
you get into the fixed income category, and a lot of seniors are in
that category. Guess who's feeling inflationmore than anybody else. Let's see what
Evelyn's got on the program. Evelyn, welcome to the show, and thanks
for call this morning. Yeah,by Brian. Well, you're suggested that

(01:29:05):
we've talked to people and you knowhow we really should talk to people.
Well, you're very I think alittle bit naive, because I have found
for many years that when people heara conversation that they don't want to hear
about reality, for example, comingup, they just block it. Either

(01:29:30):
they change the subjects or they I'vehad people sleep and put their hands over
their ears. And I'm talking aboutdemocrats and neighbors. And you know,
you could be as tactful or asengaged as you want to say. And
this has been the case very muchfor myself and for my husband within the

(01:29:55):
family and neighbors and so called friends. I don't really can figure people who
won't talk about subjects friends, butthey can serve me a friend. And
I think you're naive. I'm notnaive. If someone reacted that way,
I would call them out on it. You're not gonna engage in a discussion
with me. You're gonna close yourears and and and like a four year

(01:30:15):
old ago, la la la lala. Because you can't engage in a
debate. That's something you've won.I would just call it a victory,
right, there, Oh, okay, then I win. You're not in
a position to elevate this to adebate where you can offer facts, information,
logic, reason about why your sideof the ledger is correct and why
I'm wrong. You can't tell mewhy my opinion is wrong on this subject

(01:30:36):
matter. Chalk it off is awin. I don't. There's nothing naive
about it. You gotta be willingto engage and willing to call them out.
If they're trying to duck, dip, dodge, dive and duck,
then you can call them out onthat too. You don't want to engage
in this discussion. I think we'realways willing. The willingness is there,
and it has been for many peoplefor many years. It's not that we're

(01:30:58):
not willing. We keep trying,and I don't considering the win. When
somebody is not willing to have aconversation, it's it's like you're hitting a
wall. Why wouldn't you ask themwhy they're not willing to engage in a
conversation you want to talk about.Is it the wrong time of day?
They're just not interested? What's thepoint? They don't they It's like hitting

(01:31:23):
a brick wall. Brian states thatthey do not they are not at all
interested. And you know, youcould be as sweeter, as aggressive as
you want. When you hit abrick wall, you gay a brick wall.
And I just wanted to point thatout to you, because you do

(01:31:44):
have a platform. And when Iuh engage with people and I hit a
brick wall, then they walk away. Your your listeners if they walk away
or not. But you win everyday because you get to keep going.
But would you have people such asneighbors or family members who walk away?

(01:32:08):
It's not the same as in yourlife. I'm not quite sure I follow
your point. I will engage inthese conversations like I do every morning outside
of the realm of my morning show. Someone doesn't want to talk about politics.
They don't want to talk about politics. You can't force them into doing
it. But always worth asking thequestion, why isn't this something that is
important to you in your world?Is this not something that impacts your life

(01:32:30):
every single day? Like, forexample, inflation, the national debt which
is hitting thirty five trillion dollars,the idea that we have children entering this
world who are walking into a situationthat we've never seen before, the whole
notion that they're not going to dobetter than we are. All of the
Every single topic that we talk aboutin the Morning show is something that impacts
every single American. Even global affairslike wars in Ukraine between Russia that ultimately

(01:32:54):
impacts us because our taxpayer dollars aresupporting it. We could be drug into
a global content. Everything matters,and if someone doesn't want to talk about
it, they don't want to talkabout it, they're burying their head in
the sand. Fine, call themout for that, say listen, it's
really important we have these conversations.But you know, if you don't want
to, you don't want to.Maybe you're a political maybe you think these
things really don't matter in your world. Whatever the conclusion you've reached, you've

(01:33:16):

it's not being naive to suggest thatyou try engaging in these conversations. And
yes, you can endeavor to enterinto them in a polite way. Start

(01:33:40):

don't we sure? Okay, thensegue over to something you might disagree
on. I don't know. Ijust do it all the time. And
I've given up on caring about conclusionsthat people draw about me based upon my
political philosophy. I'm all about freedomand liberty, and that's where ill That's
where I fall. Everyone should beabout freedom and liberty. You know why,

(01:34:01):
Because I'm free to draw my conclusionsand choose my live path. You're
free to choose your live path anddraw your conclusions, and hopefully a government
won't walk in and interfere with eitherof our choices along those lines, and
tell us how we need to runour business, and tell us what rules
and regulations we need to be micromanagedby, and tax the living hell out

(01:34:21):

(01:41:17):
the program Americans for Prosperities Donovan andNeil, Who was I guess watching the
activity in Columbus yesterday? The Housewas in full on voting mode and they
passed the four point two billion dollarcapital budget along with some other bills.
Welcome back, donv Andiel. It'salways a pleasure having you on the show.
Brian. Always a pleasure will bewith you. I really have a

(01:41:39):
disdain for US funding things like,oh, I don't know a rock and
roll Hall of Fame, pro footballhall of Fame. I did the River
Bend project. I mean, Ithought that was like going to be a
revenue generator for the since city,a symphony orcers or whatever. But you
know, there's a shortage of taxdollars. Every time I view at a
tax expenditure, I think about,I worked some part of my life to

(01:42:01):
fund fill in the blank, andI see a million dollars in the budget
for Cleveland Women's Pro Soccer Stadium,among all these other things that I find
offensive. You been diving through this. What's your take on the on the
on the capital budget Donovan? Yeah, well, you know, it's it's
an unfortunate reality of the legislative process. They you know, they do the

(01:42:24):
main operating budget, which is avery significant amount of money, and then
they come back and they do thecapital budget, which is all those capitals
better. So a lot of thingsyou talked about there and the problem we
see here that I was on yourshow back in the spring talking about how
it was the legislation that carried thisis House Bill two, you know,
calling this legislation House Bill two billion. That's what it was early in the

(01:42:45):
spring. With a number of otherprovisions added in, it became we're now
calling House still four billion. Sofour point two billion dollars approximately is put
out there just yesterday that taxpayers aregoing to have to pay for much of
it. Finance your debt and youknow, our are There are a lot
of valid capital expenditures that need tooccur right for governments or state to operate.

(01:43:09):
But what we're calling out to arethose things you mentioned, Brian,
those sort of expenditures like funding forthe Cleveland brown stadiums and these kinds of
things out there that you know,really we need to need to recognize that
every dollar incent we spend or appropriatea capital budget that has to come out
of some hardworking Ohioland's paycheck. That'show we pay for that. Because we
have an income tax still, Brian, they have to pay for that,

(01:43:30):
or sales tax or otherwise. Wereally need our lawmakers in Columbus to get
serious well rating and spending. Thiscapital budget grows everybody anym and it's the
biggest yet. It's a huge amountof money. Since a do You Open
Tennis tournament's going to get what howmany millions of dollars twenty seven and a
half million dollars for that And Italk was Representative Green yesterday here on the

(01:43:53):
program, and she's sort of defendedit by saying, well, it brings
in a whole lot of money everyyear, and we can't afford to lose
it because they were getting ready totake their ball and go elsewhere with it.
You know, from my experience andtalking to people in the know about
all these you know, stadium projectsand over the years, it is a
bit of a canard to suggest thatthe money spent on these huge, colossal
venues with all the amenities actually hasa return on investment for the local communities,

(01:44:17):
like the Paul bro the pay Coursestadium for example. Well, it's
it's the same, yes, andit's the same problems we see in what
you know, we would call thiscronyism, of this crony capitalism right where
you have these large corporations that comein and ask state governments, to in
local governments to just hand over allthe tax credits, exemptions, you know,

(01:44:41):
basically give away the farm on theback of taxpayers. Were other than
recognizing the reality that you know,you know, we shouldn't have taxpayers subsidizing
a company. We shouldn't have taxpayerssubsidizing a professional sports industry. We should
be using tax dollars for public purposes, roads, schools, bridges, police
fire, keeping our community safe andpeople able to get where they need to

(01:45:05):
go. But you know, it'sthe that's the larger problem right now in
both political parties, right because keepyour mind brand Republicans run Columbus, and
I'm a big ban of our conservativefriends here. I'm a conservative myself,
but we really need to be makingsure that the folks we send to Columbus
are enacting the conservative policies, thefiscal restraints they can't paign on. Otherwise

(01:45:27):
you get bills like this where thespending just keeps growing and it's it's unfortunate.
Well a little fun fact you interjectedthere, and I don't want to
gloss over it. We're borrowing moneyfor this. There's going to be debt
service that has to be paid,an interest bill that will become due when
we borrow the money to cover thesecapital projects. Well, yeah, now

(01:45:49):
that's not unusual. I want tobe clear, that's not unusual. This
is something new that they just did. But what is notable and we think
we need to be conscious of isyou know, justin just back in twenty
nineteen, twenty twenty, just acouple of years ago. You know,
we put two point two billion indebt finance. Now we're financing this.
Can you capital budget members just gotoed on yesterday three point two billion.

(01:46:12):
We're growing the amount of debt we'refinancing. And don't I don't know if
folks are paying attention thanks to alot of what Washington see is doing these
days. Our economy is not veryyou know, it's pretty fragile right now.
There are a lot of concerns outthere. And start financing debt,
you know, tax revenues can takea hit if Biden manages to steer our

(01:46:32):
economy into a into a tail spin, and you know, you're putting a
lot of risk out there. Weshould be paying for these things with cash,
right if we do have extra taxdollars. Let's have that debate.
Let's have that discussion. Yeah,and let's fund programs with the revenue that
we have, not to not putit on the backs of the future generations.
Imagine that actually being able to payfor what you decide you're going to

(01:46:55):
buy, let's pause, we'll bringdown with a back and some other notable
line items in the Capitol budget aswell as other bills have passed yesterday.

(01:47:20):
most notably for the wood burners outthere because of the kreosoa build up
that can catch on fire crack you'relining. You may even have a lining

forty one fifty five Krcity Talks StationRight tell Us with Donovan and Eil Americans
for Prosperity talking about the capital budgetpassed yesterday by the House four point two
billion dollars and a lot of wellpork in there. I would argue anything

(01:49:56):
else stand out in particular to you, Donovan and Neil in the Capitol budget
in particular, You know, Inothing in particular. I think we'll go
you know, we'll go through lineitems as we go forward. The Black
Eye Institute does a great job withits piglet booklet of calling out a lot
of these kind of pork barrel spendingprojects that we have here in the state.
But you know, I call yourlisteners on this piece of legislation,

(01:50:17):
the capital budget in particular, isyou know, talk to your talk to
your representatives, encourage their fiscal restractRemind him every dollar day spend in Columbus
is a dollar coming out of yourpaycheck for taxes to fund those projects.
And we really need to do morefiscal restraint in Columbus when it comes to
spending. But there's other things theydid yesterday, Brian. There's the Modal

(01:50:39):
legislation. If we've got some timeto chapters about that too, please.
Well, I've been on your showbefore talking about raising the alarm a few
times about Houspill seventy nine, Housepileseventy nine, and see it's known as
an energy it's an energy efficiency mandatethough it's introduced actually by Southwest Ohio Zone
Bill site. Yeah, and whatwhat what this legislation does is it creates

(01:51:02):
a new energy efficiency mandate program.One of the few good things that happened
in House Bill six, the nuclearenergy bailout bill that was written with scandal,
was eliminating energy efficiency mandates that wereimposed under former Governor Ted Strickland and
Democrats when they when they had controlof the Ohio House over fourteen years ago.

(01:51:27):
Well these are back, they're comingback. And the House managed to
pass on a very slim vote fiftyto forty five to move it out of
the House and send it over theSenate. And you know the problem here,
Brian is and you who probably someof your listeners probably heard the song
and danced before. I'm sure youhave. It was a minority of Republicans
joining with a majority of Democrats topass this legislation. We've got Republicans supermajority

(01:51:49):
in Columbus and they managed to passthis thing out. And we really need
to suppose to be paying attention tothis and reaching out to their senators to
stop this legislation. That'll be afee on their utility bills and additional costs
even if they managed to op outof this program. Yeah, it's a
dollar fifty every month, as it'sdescribed, to pay utilities for rebates and

(01:52:13):
discounts on smart thermostats, energy efficiency, energy efficient appliances, and other things
to help reduce electricity use. SoI'm giving Duke Energy a buck fifty every
month so that they can give adiscount to someone else on one of these
devices. It seems to me tobe well a bu bureaucratic nightmare and that
that buck fifty is going to beconsumed in the process. But if there's

(01:52:38):
something out there that's going to saveme money. They claim that smart thermostats,
for example, can lower my billbetween ten and fifteen percent. I
haven't sent them to go out andbuy one of those damn things myself.
Well that's right. Well, youknow we've been experiencing the heat way right,
so hopefully all of us have beenyou know, smart and sort of
conserving energy and just you know,you just kind of do the thing because

(01:53:00):
you know, nobody wants the Athrough all the time. But one of
the things that these programs would allowenergy companies to do would be too when
they install the smart thermo staff beable to control your AC. So if
you know, we hit these ninetyplus days and the energy companies say,
well, look we're gonna we needto control the load on the on the
grid. We're going to turn yourheat, your air up. We're not

(01:53:20):
going to let you keep it atseventy anymore, Brian, You've got to
move it to seventy two or seventythree, and there's not a lot you
can do about it. Those kinds, those are the kind of invasive programs
that legislation like this will introduces shouldit be signed by the governor. Not
only that, people who even optout. So let's say you want to

(01:53:41):
opt out and not pay that dollarfifty a month fee for the program.
You just don't want to do it. There's a mechanism in the bill called
loss revenue generation. Lost revenue generation. What that means is when energy efficiency
programs come into play, and youwould hope to see if they're working,
energy demand go down, which meansmoney paid to Duke Energy goes down because

(01:54:04):
you're not consuming as much energy.Well, you think Duke Energy and their
shareholders want that to happen. Theywant to lose money because of the program
they force us to implement. Noso they can go to gougo with this
lost revenue generation mechanism and get thatmoney back through a fee they tacked back
onto your bill. So the utilitycompanies lose no money. The ratepayers shoulder

(01:54:28):
the full burden. And at theend of the day, maybe if expectations
meet the mark, and rarely dothey in government involved. When government's involved
in these programs, maybe we savea little bit of energy, shave a
half to maybe a percent off ofour demand on the grid. Arguably increased

(01:54:48):
supplies put more energy production on thegrid. Rather than trying to force people
to adopt these energy efficiency programs thatthey're just frankly not interested, then well,
and that that was going to bemy point earlier. Wait a second,
if there's if the grid is beingtaxed, in other words, it
can't handle the amount of load that'sbeing placed on, then the grid is

(01:55:10):
insufficient. They shouldn't be able toshut off my electricity or or or curb
my my use of any particular electricyou'd be using product. That's that's just
they and that's the direction we're gone. I mean, you know, with
everybody getting electric vehicles like they wantus to do, that's even just going
to be more attacks on the gridand more of an opportunity to shut it

(01:55:30):
down because they can't handle the load. This is insanity. It is well
and in that and that's our argument, right is its go have the debate
about how do we get more We'resitting on a landmine of a gold mine
of natural gas under Ohio. Whatare we doing to hold the federal government
accountable to unleash that production to getmore energy production online. That's what we

(01:55:55):
need to be focused on, bringingmore energy production online, creating abundance of
energy. Let's increase the supply tonot only to exceed demand and bring down
costs rather than just try to workon the margins and ultimately have the rate
payers of the state of Ohio shoulderthe burden of the utility companies. In
the past months, well forty partcompany Donovant just so must observe that they

(01:56:16):
did pass a bill eighty seven toten that just relabels nuclear energy as green
energy, which thus allows it topass. I guess religious muster among the
environmentalists when it is the perfect solutionto all of our problems. Well,
so that's a good thing. I'ma fan of all of the above energy

(01:56:38):
and you know, getting the byBut this is the silliness, right,
Like we have to figure out howto label things different. I know,
so they can qualify for tax creditsso we can bring it online. Why
aren't we just getting that energy online? Why can't we just get the nuclear
energy on line power the country andregain energy dominance in the world once again?
It's mine? You know this isIt's frustrating, mind boggling and very

(01:57:02):

morning. Well, thank you,Brian, and I appreciate you and Joe

(01:59:18):
so much. You are a realtreasure and a gift to Cincinnati. Well,
thank you. Every time you pointout a bad bill in your caller's
call, they have stopped it.For example, House Bill three eighty nine,
that was last General Assembly's version ofHouse Bill seventy nine that your guests
just spoke about. And that billis a horrible bill, and as he
said, it's now in the Senateand we must stop it in the Senate.

(01:59:40):
What it does, basically is ittells you if and when you can
use power, and it controls youin the minute you step out the line
and use power you're not supposed touse. You have to pay an outrageous
premium. But it's really a stickand a stick. There's no carrot there
because in the program we're out youwill be punished because it brings our rates
up higher. And as far asopting in or opting out, mister Sitz

(02:00:00):
stood on the floor and repeatedly calledthis voluntary. But that's a really bastardized
Orwellian version of the word voluntary.When you don't sign up for it,
they throw you in, they optyou in. And then Brian, if
you don't know you've been put init, you can't get back out.

Sarah Carruthers over in Hamilton, shesays she wants to stick you with
higher electric bills. We're all strappedright now and she wants to put more

(02:00:45):
on you. And Cindy Abrams alsovoted in support of this bad bill.
Now, this bill went from badto worst when it became House Bill seventy
nine because it sucked in all thebusinesses, only the small and medium size
you know how they were under attackunder COVID in the national multinationals were all
left alone under this plan. Isso unfair because we get stuck in it.

(02:01:05):
But now they have sucked in smalland medium sized businesses. So all
the increases that they have to payand this power will be passed on to
the consumers, and they are thebackbone of our economy. Without our small
and medium businesses, we don't havean economy. So it really puts Ohio
in an economic disadvantage. And Idon't know if the NFIB is even aware
that they've done this, and whythe Chamber of Commerce hasn't come out against

(02:01:29):
this, But it's so disturbing thatmister Side stood on the floor and said,
we've got a problem, Houston,we don't have power. Well,
he's responsible for that. In thenineties, he introduced a bill that said
by twenty twenty we would not haveany We wouldn't have but there was a
mandate, let's say, for twentypercent of all of our power would come
from unreliable sources wind and solar.You couple that with gene Crabs over at

(02:01:53):
the OCC who also was working againstus, and they're the organization that's supposed
to protect the consumer and they takemoney out of our build to protect us.
And then we have PUKO aligning withwallmakers, pysically, nobody fighting for
aud. I appreciate your level ofdetail, and you're paying attention, very
close attention to that issue. Sindywish we could talk more out of time,
but thank you very much for calling. Yes, you can contact your

(02:02:15):
senators here in the state of Islandsee if they can put the brakes on
this nonsense. To stick around.DT del tour with a book a Patriots

(02:03:29):
Same Morning Show, DT to talkabout your book, A Patriots Promise,
protecting my brothers, fighting from mylife and keeping my words. Good to
have you on the program today,sir, Thank you for your service to
our country. Thank you, Ryan, thank you for that nice introduction.
Oh my pleasure, and what aninspiring book you have written here, and
it's inspiration that was that came fromI would argue much suffering. You can

(02:03:51):
feel free to rephrase it. Itwas your life story. But let's turn
back the clock and talk about howyou came up with the name of the
book. I understand you lost yourfather when you were only twelve years old.
I did you know I lost mydad was I was twelve, and
then a year and a half laterI ended up losing my mom to a
trump driver. But yeah, youknow, when it came up to figure

(02:04:14):
out the title or the name ofthe book. You know, some of
the publishers and some people were like, well, why don't you call it
like a hero's promise? And forme, I was like, you know,
that's kind of some douchy. Youknow, if someone was writing a
book about me, okay, theycan do that, but you know,
for me, I don't see myselflike that. You know, I'm just

(02:04:36):
a regular dude, you know,just basically take to me a little longer
to pull on Tanzon. But yeah, I kind of find I wanted to
find something better that you know,they didn't almost see egoistic understood you're somewhat
just a little self deprecating, whichI understand. He know, and a
lot a lot of men who servein the military are that way. You

(02:04:56):
know, you want to give creditto all your fellow soldiers. You're not
going to take personal credit or something, so I understand where that comes from.
But you did make a promise toyour father, and having lost your
mother unexpectedly, you had to makegood on that promise, and that was
to take care of your siblings,your younger your younger brothers and sisters.
Yeah, you know, you knowwhen you're total years old. Of your
dad, you know, the daybefore it passes, says something to you

(02:05:19):
like, you know, you don'treally pay attention to. You don't think
it's you know, You're like,okay, yeah whatever, Dad, you
know, we'll talk later. Andthen you know, him passing the following
day. You know, I tookthose words of heart and and and I
tried and take care of my sistersas bad as I could. And and
now that you know, I liketo say that promise has evolved to now

(02:05:43):
anyone I feel like has a problemand needs help, I see them as
my family now. To try tocontinue on to that promise to my dad,
Well, let's explain to my listeners, if you would, what happened
on December fifth, two thousand andfive, and the horrific incident that you
were involved with that sort of expandedthis promise to all the brothers and sisters

(02:06:06):
that you served with in America's military. Yeah, so we were out in
the mission. I was with myscout team and we had a high value
target we had to capture kill anda teleban supply route we had to destroy.
And we had been out there acouple of days and we were coming

(02:06:26):
back because the day prior year wehad separated into two teams and we were
coming. My team was overwatching aroundour way back to kind of we supplied
the other guys and there was onlyone road in, one road out,
and we crossed this creek and thenwent to tune meters after we crossed this
creek, do I feel on intenseeby on my left side? I was
like, holy crap, I justgot hit. And you know, I

(02:06:50):
got out of the truck. Butwhen I got out of the truck,
I was on fire from head totoe and and and but I knew there
was a creek behind me, andso I tried to run to it,
but the flames away took me andI collapsed in and I'm sitting there's like,
you know, when I'm laying down, I'm going to die here.
It's like, I'm going to breakmy promise to my family. I always

(02:07:12):
come back. I want to breakmy promise to my son now I'm not
gonna let him grow up without isthat like I did? Almost importantly,
I'm going to break my promise tomy dad I made to him so many
years ago. And then my teammay help me up as a ttam and
I got to die here and webothed from the creek. And the sound
that I heard the creek, itis the same sound you hear when you

(02:07:32):
put a cold pan in a hotpan in cold water. But you know,
most people think you know from there, won't you know, just stop
saying hope get wants to get outof attention. But it was a plan
ambush. As soon as I gothit, my team, the other half
my team was hitting the crossfy andcalling for help. And I'm the guy

(02:07:54):
that causing the airstrikes, you know, I'm that fire sport element, and
so I had to figure out whatI had to do. My radios were
I had on me were destroyed andmy backup radio was in there in the
red in the truck that got destroyed. But luckily one of the other Scout
members had a radar caut embitter andI said, hey, man, get

(02:08:16):
this frequency. Repeat everything I sayso you get to help, uh for
for our guys. And by thetime the last transmission went out, you
know, I think the adrenaline startedcoming down and I started having a hard
time breathing, and I started toget scared. You know, I'll never

(02:08:37):
tell someone that I was up therelike Ramble as much. You know,
I was always wanted to be Ramblebecause you know, I grew up in
a generation that loved Ramble. Youknow who they want to be. You
know that childs were bodied, longflowing hair, you know, just you
know, this badass, uh.And for a moment I was. But
then the drelling went down. Istarted getting scared, having a hard time
breathing, and I was like,where's the meta back, you know,

(02:09:00):
and the medic was trying to calmme down. And then I was like,
I just want to sleep, thenjust close my eyes. But he
knew if he didn't fall asleep,but most likely I'm not going to wake
up again. So it kept meup until the metavac came. I got
into the metavac and I remember theywanted to carry me to the metavac the
helicopter. I was like, oh, hell no, I walked into the
fight. I want to walk outof it. And I hobbled to the

(02:09:24):
helicopter. I remember, you knowthe flight, you know, kind of
in and out landing, and Iforward upper and base them taking me into
my feet into the field hospital.Seeing something out of the teammates around me
the dot, cutting off my watchand telling me it's going to be okay.
That was December of about five.I wake March about six. Yeah,

(02:09:48):
you were in a coma for thatperiod of time. And you know,
my listeners, you can't understate thedegree of his injuries. He was
burned over eighty percent of his body. And yet sir, you were still
able to call and is their helpwith assist with those air coordinates and get
the air help and the support youneeded and walk yourself to the hot to
the metevac helicopter. This is allunbelievably inspiring. But then you win your

(02:10:11):
call it And my understanding is younearly died on three separate occasions. Yeah,
you know it's you know, whenwhen you wake up from what you
call it, they sided to counttown you everything that happened to you.
Well, I was asked, doyou know the date? You know where
you're at, And of course you'recompletely wrong, because you know you went

(02:10:31):
to sleep and think you were outthat long for four months and they tell
you you almost died three different times. You gave you a fifteen. So
if eighty percent has third degrees burnsyour body has three burns on eighty percent
of your body. And you knownow you have this long recovery, going
to be here for another year anda half. You may not walk again.

(02:10:54):
You're going to be INTERRESTI rated forus of your life and military careers
pretty much over, and they waitfor your reaction. Uh. And I
very much told him, you knowthey can go to help. But in
more colorful words, my dad usedto say, my late father, I
got two words for you, andthey ain't happy birthday. So I have

(02:11:16):
a feeling. I know it.I know what was going through your mind.
It's what came out of your mouth. And you you had a lot
of help, and you give alot of credit to your your your wife
for caring for you, but alsothe inspiration that your three year old son
gave you after this injury and yourneed to be there for both of them,
and but also the inspiration that theygave you to come out the other

(02:11:37):
side on this. Uh. It'sin such a profound way. Yeah.
Yeah, When when I decided towrite this book, because they I've been
speaking for years and then people havebeen wanting me to write it, but
I wanted to include my wife's storyabout what she went through, because I
like to say that the family seedsthat are worse, they're the one,

(02:12:00):
you know, the the notification whathappens to family members, they're the ones
that got make decisions and sometimes,you know, families fight for power.
Who's in charge of the loved one? Now. I wanted to tell that
story because as much as we wantto think that are once united, when
something like that happens, a lotof times it's not. And I thought

(02:12:22):
it was very important about telling thatstory. And yeah, I did.
I do think guys should write becauseI did have my family, I had
my friends, you know, myteammates, and because you can't do it
on your own, you just can't. You got to have that support.
And luckily I had that support andand that that spark of my son.

(02:12:46):
You know, I like to say, we just want to hear the burned
guy saying we all have a sparkthat that drives up and sometimes you can
find it on your own and othertimes you need help finding it. And
that's another, you know, reasonwhy I wrote the book, because if
my story obstacles that I went throughall throughout my life helped someone find their

(02:13:09):
spark and so they could overcome theirobstacles and all that pain, all that
injury that I went through, It'sworth it because I was able to help
that one person and continue on inmy dad to at the end of the
day, I'm still that total realkid trying to make step out of him.
Wow. Well, and you continueto inspire so many others wounded in

(02:13:31):
others within the military, and againgive you credit for the instrumental and creation
of the Air Force Wounded Warrior program. You have spoken at any number of
events to inspire people. And whatpart of your story that is so inspiring.
You became the first completely one hundrepercent disabled, as the Army labels
fokes in terms of the level ofdisability, first completely disabled airman to re

(02:13:56):
enlist in the Air Force. Imean that alone is an amazing accomplishment.
Yeah. You know, people couldask me when I was going through my
recovery, because it took about fiveyears, you know, to get kind
of back to get back in,and they're like, what do you want
to do and say, I wantto continue to serve and they're like,
why do you want to do that? It's like DT speaking, you know,

(02:14:16):
you can make a lot of moneyas a speaker, and they're they're
right. You know, some greatspeakers can make you know, tens of
thousands to two hundred thousand dollars ofspeech for forty five minutes. But I
told him, I was like,Yeah, there's thousands of people out there
make lots of money and they hatetheir job. So why I'm going to
give up a job that i'd love. I love serving my country, I

(02:14:39):
love in the Air Force. I'dlove being a tack fee. So why
am I going to give that upa couple of bucks? And luckily,
you know, I had enough supportto show that, yes do I wish
I could still be in an upheator and go out down range and be
with my teammates. You know Ican't unless we've become like Star Wars.

(02:15:00):
I got cool Luke Skywalker, henand you toucht that mind to compeople.
But we're not there. But Iknew I could teach, I could get
the next the next generation of operatorsgoing. And and like you said earlier
February twenty ten, that's when Ibecame the first one hundred percent to say
what to Ammon threadam is in theAir Force, you are a truly an

(02:15:20):
inspiration and a true American hero.You can be as self deprecating as you
want, Israel DT. Del ToroJunior, but you are an amazing guy
and you can't put a price tagon what you continue to do to this
day. A patriot's promise, protectingmy brothers, fighting for my life and
keeping my word. By my guesttoday, Israel DT. Del Toro Jr.
God bless you, sir. Thankyou for everything that you have done,

(02:15:41):
your service for our country, yourcontinued inspiration. I know my listeners
are going to gobble this book up. Lots of members of my listening audience
and military families retired military themselves orhave loved ones in the military, and
we do everything we can here inthe morning should to help military causes.
And I can't promote your book enough. It's on my blog page fifty five
cares dot com. Sir, Godbless you and keep up the great work.

(02:16:03):
Thank you Brian again, thank youfor having me on. I really
enjoyed my distinct pleasure, sir,my distinct pleasure. It's eight nineteen right
now, fifty five K see thetalk station. Wow, that is amazing.
Moving over something that'll save you alot of money. Hospital images are
outrageously expensive, just stupid expensive.And you pay five thousand dollars for a

(02:16:28):
CT scan at a hospital imaging department, when you can get that same CT
scan the same kind of equipment runby professionals, including a board certified radiologist
interpreting the results for you, atAffordable Imaging Services. It's only four hundred
and fifty dollars. It's only sixhundred if you need a contrast again,
compared to maybe five thousand, couldbe even more at the hospital. And

(02:16:50):
you make it a separate charge forthe radiologist report. You know, this
is where they make a lot ofmoney, folks. You know, and
Affordable Imaging Services is not losing everytime and they do an image. So
do the math and go ahead,find out how much your insurance payment's going
to be on that outrageously priced imageat the hospital imaging department. Listen,
you have a choice when it comesto your medical care. You can go

(02:17:11):
where you want, and you cango to Affordable Imaging Services for MRI,
CT scans, echo cardigram's, ultrasounds, lung screenings, and cardiac scorings.
All of them include the radiologis supportin the low price. And there's no
image that's more expensive than six hundredand forty five bucks. And that's what
you'll pay at Affordable Imaging for anMRI with a contrast, that's the most
you can charge. Everything else isless. This is a no brainer,

(02:17:35):
folks, I know I use thatterm a lot five one three seven,

to talk to iHeart media aviation expertJay Ratlift. Jay. Welcome back to
the morning show, my friend.Oh please, the good morning, and
thank you for that. I appreciateit. I always love talking to you.
Get a kick out of it,and it's always very informative and your
favorite punching bag, and even Baronsreferred to Boeing as becoming a punching bag

(02:19:31):
because of all the criticism they're taking, and justifiable criticism it is. You
got the Boeing seven thirty seven Maxjets that crashed because they didn't bother train
the pilots about the software changes,got the door blowing off of that seven
thirty seven Max by Alaska Air,and if you're in space thanks to Boeing,
you can't make it back, whichkind of sucks. And then you

(02:19:52):
find out the Department of Justice maybe getting ready to file action against you.
What's going on with this one?Jay, Well, years ago after
those two Boeing seven thirty seven Maxcrashes, we had three hundred and forty
six lives that were lost. Inthe subsequent investigations. You and I've talked
about so many times before, revealeddeception and there's no other word to use
on the part of Boeing. Thoseofficials tried to keep critical data from the

(02:20:18):
FAA inspectors trying to hide it.They lied to the investigators, airlines and
pilots and look, in my opinion, some should have gone to jail now.
Instead, Boeing was fined two hundredand forty four million dollars with promises
they would never do it again.Well, that assurance was outlined in a
deferred prosecution agreement, something you're veryfamiliar with, and it's now clear to

(02:20:39):
the non lawyer and me that theterms of that DPA had been violated because
we have all these whistleblower accounts,we have FAA findings that collaborate those claims,
and now the Department Justice has apparentlyuntil July seventh to determine if criminal
charges are to be filed against Boeing. So stand by, we're about to
see just how much lobbying power Boeinghas because Brian, if a sidestep this

(02:21:03):
one, I'm going to have todouble my blood pressure medication because it just
absolutely is beyond me that Boeing couldknowingly put lives at risk for an extended
period of time all those years agoand no one went to jail at all.
I think that sends the that sendsa horrific message and it's like,

(02:21:24):
okay, lives are expendable. It'sokay, I mean, it's an acceptable
form of business. No, no, no, no. And that's one
of the reasons that the families ofthose that were lost are constantly all over
Boeing. They were in the inthe testimony room when the Boeing CEO was
there in the background holding pictures ofall the relatives that were lost. Because,

(02:21:46):
yeah, the Boeing provided an aircraftthat was dangerous and incapable of being
flown by the pilots with a softwarethat continue to malfunction that put lives at
risk. It's just an amazing storyor that it could even happen. It
was not a challenge for Boeing toexplain how this new software worked. You

(02:22:07):
think that that would just be thenormal course of action. Something's different.
It affects the impact and the operationof the aircraft, especially in dangerous situations.
Hey, here's how to properly reactto it. Contrary to what we
taught you one of the prior versionof the software. I mean, what
kind of a challenge is that it'szero? But Brian, the problem was
that on the front of the airplaneyou have two angle of attack sensors that

(02:22:31):
would feed that system. Now,Boeing, in an order to cut costs
of gritting my teeth, got ridof one of those. So you now
have a single point of failure,which you never have in aviation. So
when that single point of failure fails, you're going to have faulty information being
fed to that imcast system. Andthat's exactly what happened. So even if

(02:22:52):
the pilots have been properly trained byBoeing, there's no way they could have
ever survived it because that system wouldtake control of the airplane and force it
to go down for a period often seconds trying to regain the necessary air
speed to come out of a stall. It would then release the control of
the aircraft back to the pilots,but only for five seconds, and then

(02:23:15):
it would take over again. Soit doesn't take much imagination to figure out
if your at low altitude, thecomputer is playing the airplane down for ten
seconds, pilots get to play itup for five down for ten up.
You run out of altitude real quick. And sadly, that's exactly what happened
on those two aircraft. Well,and you know you and I always like
to e gauge in an occasional talkabout stock. So before we get a

(02:23:35):
break here, I keep waiting,you know, every time that you and
I talk and Boeing is a subjectmatter, which it frequently is. For
all these reasons, I keep lookingat the stock expecting, you know that
this is that the market has reactedto it now. I mean the lowest
I'm looking over the past three yearsis of trading at one hundred and twenty
bucks back in oh, I don'tknow, middle of twenty twenty two.

(02:23:56):
But you know, it hasn't lotso much value of late still up in
one hundred and high high one seventies, one hundred and seventy nine hundred eight.
It just hasn't impacted the stock dramatically. I'm shocked at that. Well.
Boeing has a lot of airplanes inback order that they have to produce
and to deliver. You have allthe government contracts, you have a lot
of things that make Boeing in manypeople's eyes, too big to fail.

(02:24:18):
So for some people it's like yeah, I mean, when the stock dipped
one hundred and sixty five dollars ashare was a bargain some people grabbed.
It's one hundred and seventy nine hundredand seventy eight fifty right now. But
you know, beginning of the yearwas it was north of two fifty.
So it certainly dropped from where itwas at. And you know, maybe
if you know, I'm asked it, could Boeing ever fail? Could Boeing

(02:24:41):
ever completely go out of business?No, not immediately, but certainly over
a period of time if they continueto do what they're doing through these deceptive
practices, you would have to thinkthe business would go elsewhere. Another company
would come up the problem it wouldit would take twenty years for a company
to start building airplanes and be ableto get to the point now where they

(02:25:03):
could actually compete with a Boeing orair Bus. And you know, people
know that, and as a result, it's going to be Boeing or air
Bus. And yeah, whatever theproblems they had, they'll get over and
then we'll go from there. Weplayed that game five years ago, and
I was an idiot to believe Boeingat the time that they were really going
to return to the safe practices ofold And they lied to us then and

(02:25:24):
they're lying to us now. Wow, jazubn there you have it boiled down
eight thirty seven. Hold on,We're going to continue about well speaking of
losing altitude among other topics with Jayratlif Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning though.
For all your HVAC needs, youjust rely on Zimber. They've been at
it for more than seventy five yearshelping their loyal customers get keep their home
safe and efficient and comfortable. That'sa tradition at Zimmer Heating and Cooling.

(02:25:48):
And it is cooling season, youcan trust the third generation experts at Zimber
to manage your repairs on your airconditioning system. And if it is belly
up time and it's time to replaceit, perfect time to get in touch
Wasimmer for the cool Carrier Comfort Rebatewhere you can save up to twenty one
hundred dollars on that new carrier airconditioning unit. The folks that invented air
conditioning rely on Zimmer confidently. Sofor just to easily schedule an appointment and

(02:26:13):
for emergency service as well, justhead on to go Zimmer dot com.
That's go Zimmer dot Com fifty fiveKRC. The talk station you have carries
the detogs. Dasy Oh my favoritesound bite. Jay rat left our aviation
expert talking about a career airflight.On this story. It sounded really really

(02:26:33):
bad when you read that headline,like, oh my god, and but
fifteen minutes to descend twenty seven thousandfeet. I mean the airplane can make
it up to cruising altitude of thirtythousand feet in about fifteen minutes or so.
So is this really a Is thisreally a horrific thing that happened?
Jay? It was not, butit involved a Boeing seven thirty seven Max,
so we have to make it soundyeah, fight, how was it?

(02:26:58):
No, it was a Korean airflight. It was cruising along and
all of a sudden they had aproblem with the pressurization system. They had
an alarm that was triggered inside thecockpit. So as a result, they
had to descend under ten thousand feet. They had to do it rapidly because
of what was going on, andthey did so. It happened faster than

(02:27:20):
the norm, and we did haveseventeen passengers that required some hospitalization with airpain
and other things as the crew didexactly what they were supposed to do.
But you're exactly right, Brian,You're the only that brought that up.
About everybody I've talked to on thisis that to drop that fact that far.
They could have done it a lotfaster than that, and one of

(02:27:41):
the reasons they probably did not wasprobably due to the severity of whatever the
issue was, or the fact that, you know, they just did not
want to create more of an issueby injuring passengers in the process. But
this was a Boeing seven thirty sevenMax aircraft for Korean Air. The investigation
is going to continue. Boeing reprepresentatives as well as, if requested,

(02:28:03):
the National Transportation Safety Board will assistto try to find out exactly what happened.
Then they'll start with the maintenance recordsto see if there was anything there
that indicated a pass problem on thatthat might have been fixed or not,
and kind of go from there.Well, if you're if cabin has going
to experience some form of depressurization,I suppose whatever happened on this Korean Air
flight is better than the dam doorblowing off in the middle of the flight.

(02:28:24):
I will take this one over thatto be sure. And you know,
it's a lot like the United Airlinesflight a few weeks ago that was
over the Pacific Ocean. They hadan announcement coming over to immediately put on
your oxygen mask, and only athird of them dropped. Oh wow.
So if you're on that plane,you're like, where's mine and you start
pounding on the ceiling, it getsto drop. It was a mistake,

(02:28:46):
and yeah I was bowing as well. But it didn't even be Boeing or
Airbus. I mean, flip acoin. I mean, Bob Bardier's got
their jets, so do Zimbra Air. But you know, the vast majority
of the airplanes, after you geta fifty to fifty chance almost is going
to be Boeing. Regardles to thestory we bring up, is that the
truth that was on Boeing flights goingback and forth out last it didn't give
me a very good feeling about it. Haven't talked to you over some of

(02:29:07):
the years. Their day anyhow,and another record broken. I guess people
are not concerned about getting on anykind of airplane. They're traveling a lot.
You and I have talked so manytimes over the years about the busiest
day of travel is always the Sundayafter Thanksgiving, almost without exception. So
it's a matter of well, thisThanksgiving, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, you

(02:29:31):
know, break the new record.We didn't have to wait that long because
when the summer travel season kicked offhere just after the just prior to Memorial
Day, it was on I believethe twenty twenty fourth. On that Friday,
if that's correct, we had twopoint nine million people flying. That
was more than ever that the TSAhad ever screened ever, ever, ever,

(02:29:52):
so it broke the record that yes, was set on a previous Sunday
after Thanksgiving. Well, just fastforward a couple of weeks here and we
had two point nine nine million peoplefly on Sunday. So and now they're
saying, Brian, next week we'regoing to go over three million in a
day. Oh so, and sothe summer is turning out exactly what airlines

(02:30:16):
knew. It was going to bea very lucrative summer travel season. And
of course this is Christmas for them, June, July and August, high
demand, high prices. But it'salso the reason the CEOs for so many
airlines are so ticked. And itgoes back to Boeing because Boeing was supposed
to deliver a lot more airplanes forairlines to use this summer that they could

(02:30:39):
not use. Delta, United Americanand several others don't have all those silver
revenue tubes they'd like to have tomake even more money now, it's the
cost of fuel being up with thelabor cost being up because many of them
negotiated new contracts. They're not goingto make as much money this summer as
what a lot of people would imagine, given how the operating loss up and

(02:31:01):
the fact that they don't have asmuch you know, all hands on deck,
if you will, as far asthe planes that they thought they were
going to have when they were loadingall these schedules last fall. And yeah,
they're very very ticket to Boeing,and for all the right reasons.
At night, thirty dollars a piecefor checked bags on the flight. They're
making a whole lot of money outof that. It's it's amazing why guys
show up with a pillow case fullof clothes. Yeah, because he saw

(02:31:24):
that on social media on a Frontierflight and they're like, uh uh no,
that's just that's a carry on.We're going to charge you for it.
And he took a pillow case andthe supervisor pulled him off to the
side and said, look, everythingyou see on social media and said,
sometimes it doesn't work out. Sojust to understand, we kind of see
that too on social media. Soyeah, well I just thought it,
you know, thirty bucks, thirtybucks whatever. But you know, since

(02:31:46):
I my my airline tickets were actuallyquote unquote free because I used mileage,
which I had never used before.I've been collecting American airline miles since I
was practicing law in Chicago. Sowe're going back along. But I haven't
got a billion minds, so Iused them, not all of them.
I used about half of what Ihad to buy the five airline tickets to
get out there, and so thebaggage, storage, feed, the check

(02:32:09):
bag was more than I paid forthe tickets themselves. At Keep in mind,
some people, and I'm not suggestingthis, Brian, take their carry
on bag to the gate so inthe agents or their check bag to the
gate, knowing it's too big,right, so that when they say,
hey, it's full. If youhave anybody has any bags, we'll check
till you pick them up. Wewon't charge you. Okay, Reluctantly you

(02:32:31):
pull your great big, you know, foot locker up there and they take
it from you for free. SoI'm not that thing to do that,
I'm saying some people do. Yeah, I'm not that kind of guy.
I'd rather just get it over withanyhow. And finally, before we get
the hub delays which will always endon Jay, a mom got booted off
a flight for using the wrong pronouns. Please tell me this is not what
I perceive it to be. Well, that's the headline, and this is

(02:32:52):
a health specialist. She's flying UnitedAirlines, Brian. She's got a following
up twenty thousand people. I guessthat makes her some influencer. But anyway,
she took to social media blasting UnitedAirlines because she her husband and sixteen
month old got booted off of anairplane because, according to her side on
social media, she mistakenly used thewrong pronoun saying thank you sir when the

(02:33:13):
person was identified as a woman.That's the reason that headline is the reason
this story went viral. Well,obviously we're going to dive in past that.
So I get a hold of UnitedAirlines and a lot of different people,
and look at it seems as thoughshe arrived at the gate with too
many carry on bags. Sit sowell in with our previous discussion. So
she was forced to check some ofthem, and she did not like it.
She resisted in the war of words, kicked in and led to the

(02:33:35):
captain over hearing it, going uh, oh, you're not getting on my
flight. So of course she's ticked. She's feeling like, oh, you
know, I'm being disenfranchised here.So what I'm going to do is go
social media. And yeah, apparentlyshe did use the wrong pronoun, but
from everything I'm seeing, it didn'thave anything to do with her being kicked
off that flight. It had todo with how she was treating flight attendants
and gay agents. And I cantell you if you want to be kicked

(02:33:58):
off of a fly, you're nevergonna win an argument with a flight attendant
or gate agent when you start tellingthem what you want them to do.
There you go something enough, Joe, more money here? This is not
yet okay. I know he's allhe makes my day. And you know
they would tip the you know,the executioner to sharpen the blade. He

(02:34:20):
keeps playing that clip on me andI guess I got to tip me more
to get rid of it. Oh, it's all out of love. Jay,
You know that is it is.And you know, if you ever
do my obituary, I know he'sgonna pull that out. And that's okay,
laugh at it. I don't care. There you are, And as
we do every week, and thesegment on hub delays, how's it looking
out there for our travel today?Jay early morning issues Boston, Atlanta,

(02:34:43):
Charlotte. But by this afternoon itshould be clear. So if we don't
get too far behind the eight ball, should be a very very good data
fly well. And I guess planahead on arriving early, most notably next
week. If three million people aregoing to be hitting the air that's going
to back things up at the TSAscreening area, So plan according, keep
it and keep in mind, Brad, excuse me, that's one story you
and I've not talked about this summer. TSA anything. No pictures of lines

(02:35:07):
down down the hallway, out theroad, down the street. TSA is
doing a great job, and ifthey screw up, I talk about it.
And when they do a great job, And believe me, those frontline
people, even with a smile,are getting through, so they're doing great.
But yes, be at the airportwalking in the door, minimum of
two hours before departure. Please,I had some family members, nine of
them try to cut it close tothe airport. They didn't make the flight.

(02:35:31):
I told them, don't let ithappen. Plan ahead. It's easy
to do. Take Jay's advice.Jay, until next Thursday. Best of
health you and your better half.And I'm looking forward to next Thursday already.
