Speaker 1 (00:08):
Five o five. If that You've got k r C
decalk station every Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Sell.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
A vacation and that's the way.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The news goes.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Yeah, I suppose, or the news that they select to
feed to us in these soundbites at the top of
the bottom of the hour news jar your own conclusions
and happy Wednesday to you, Brian. I'm right here, glad
to see Joe. Jrekery belongs in there. He's not going
to be here all what is it next week? Joe,
You're out the whole week. Next Tuesday, you're out. I'm

(00:56):
not looking forward to that. I guess that's the only
reason I asked, because I'm trying to put that out
of my mind. I hate when Joe's not here. Although
I did the guys that cover for Joe do a
good job. I'm not criticizing them. It's a sense of comfort.
It's like a team, and I'm missing half the team
with Joe goes on vacation. But I'm glad he's going
on vacation. How long has it been since you taken
a week of vacation off Joe? Almost twenty years? Speaks volumes,

(01:24):
doesn't it anyway? Thank you for lining up Yesterday, Joe's
treker Charles Tassel, the COO National Real Estate Investors Association.
We're gonna talk about Harris Walt's rental Assistant Assistance program
and how it affects renters and landlords micromanaging the economy
as a fascist tend to do. Jim Neil, vote Jim

(01:45):
Neil for sheriff. We need to realize Jim Neil for sheriff.
He's gonna be on a seven thirty talking about all
the reasons why, and of course it being Wednesday, Judge
and Anapolitan and it joins the program every Wednesday at
eight thirty. Today's topic searching for monsters. It has to
do with our the the the illegal ability of us
to go into other countries and kidnap people and bring

(02:08):
them here to UH to stand trial in a nutshell.
And as I read that, and I thought to myself,
you know, you know, turnabouts, fair play, do unto others
as you would do unto them. And what if China
decided that was going to be its policy. What if
China decided that, you know, any one of us has

(02:29):
committed a crime and violation of their laws and action
against the Chinese Communist Party or whatever figure out something,
and we charge people with being terrorists and you know,
making bombs and blowing people up, and that gives us
a right to shoot a drone out of nowhere and
blow up people that are in other countries, countries that
we don't have any declaration of war against. What if

(02:52):
the tables turned. I just asked people to try to
keep this in mind. You know, sometimes we're wrong, but
sometimes we have to appreciate that the world is getting
smaller and smaller, and the technology that was once solely
ours is now literally everywhere. Everybody's got drones, right.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
And more and more people are getting nuclear weapons. Ask
the Iranians about why they are so hell bent on
getting a nuclear weapon. Seems to me that the possession
of a nuclear weapon, I guess, sort of frees you
up from the concept of US or any other country
invading you, or maybe doing drone strikes out of nowhere,

(03:38):
or in the case of the Judges column, going into
your country, kidnapping a person and bringing them out of
the country, quite often with a stopoff to torture them
psch for example, going to Guantanamo Bay and then maybe
bringing them to a court of law here in the
United States if you get that far. But as the

(03:58):
world is a smaller and smaller place, anybody could engage
in that same type of behavior.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Right.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
The only threat that is preventing someone from doing that
is the wrath of the United States military and the
idea that there might be some reprisals economic, militarily or otherwise.
But uh, it's a rather interesting column. I'm looking forward
to bringing them on the program as I've always look
forward to talking to the judge, So that'll happen at

(04:24):
eight thirty. In the meantime, I always like talking to you.
Maybe there's something you want to talk about, like Kamala
Harris flip flopping five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty,
five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk found
five fifty on AT and T phones. You know, as
I describe to the listeners who can't see what my
desk here in the studio looks like. It's always piled
up with different stacks of articles. In this morning, I

(04:46):
probably have forty different articles in different stacks. And what
are the stacks? Kamala Harris is flip flopping now she
hasn't uttered the words herself, but her surrogates have come
out and sort of give it us a little is
a little insight into where Kamala Harris stands on the
variety of issues that she's hidden from since she was coronated.
After that coupe a'tah. So she's granted her first interview,

(05:10):
not surprisingly CNN, and it'll be the dynamic duo of
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor
Tim Waltz. Lieon Waltz in fact of an article summarizing
how many lies Waltz is engaged in exaggerating or lying

(05:30):
about his past. You know, you got a problem with
someone who can't tell the truth about their past. If
they are so insecure about the reality of their own
record that they can't stand on who they actually are
as a human being, that they need to embellish and
elaborate and quite frankly lie about their record. I know

(05:54):
that sounds like a typical politician, and that's maybe what
we should be fearful of. But he should be able
to stand on his own and will admit that he
was wrong when he was wrong, or admit that he
lied when he lied. So we got him all He's
been caught a multitude of times now at this point lying,
So you're setting yourself up for a disaster when you
elect a politician who was not proud of his or

(06:16):
her own record and can stand on it without embellishing
on it. Anyway, though, Waltz will be there with Kamala
Harris in a taped interview. They're gonna tape it in
the afternoon and they're gonna air it Thursday at nine pm. Joe,
can I pull the room here since you're the only
person in the room. Do you think it'll be edited?

(06:40):
Maybe one or two We will find out anyway. You know,
I got a kick out of Fox News reporting on this.
Josh Wilson is talking about all the things that she
might be asked about, things that you and I might
want to know about. She's been hiding now for thirty
seven days. I think that's the count I'm losing. It's

(07:01):
more than a month in a week, facing growing scrutiny
for avoiding interviews and press conferences, which has intensified. The
scrutiny is intensive intensified the number of media outlets wondering themselves,
including so called legacy media, the mainstream media, and the
likes of CNN, like, wait, wait a minute, how come
Kamala Harris isn't talking about her policies. How come she

(07:24):
is not articulating what they are herself and as opposed
to sending surrogates out and making veiled references to where
she is on any given policy, Like she's recently flip flop. No,
she isn't going to force you to drive an electric vehicle. No,
she's not against fracking, not anymore. Yeah, Kamala Harris wants
to build a wall. Just three of the most recent

(07:45):
flip flops from her prior on the record coming from
her mouth statements about those topics. Who do you believe
her surrogates who are providing a different spind because those
are losing issues for her, The issues she platformed on,
the position she took when she was running for president,

(08:05):
the position she was wed to as she was vice president,
All the things that she has supported and done versus
what they're now telling you she's in favor of or
against as the case may be. Hey, this is just
just pathetic, as the word that comes to mind. Anyway,

(08:30):
here's Joseph Wilson. She will like, I remember this is
CNN right, and I hope they're there, they hit home
and ask them difficult questions.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
They should.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
But will she be asked to explain her sudden evolution
on issues like fracking, border security, private health insurance. She's
no longer pushing for that, although she really was wed
to the notion of private eliminating private health insurance in
favor of one size fits all government program, very very

(09:02):
very very far left of the Democratic center on all
the issues, and now her campaign is suggesting something completely contrary,
basically one hundred and eighty turnaround.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's amazing how that happens.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Maybe she'll get asked questions, don't hold your breath on
what you know about Biden's mental decline. Before the coup
ata that took place, she often defended him publicly, saying
he was the sharpest guy in the room. I can't
keep up with him in things of that nature. You
remember the statements she was part of the cover up.
Will she be asked about that? Waltz? Is he going

(09:40):
to be asked about his lies about his military service
in a multitude? I mean, you know, the guy's a
full on commy. If I may be so bold and
paint with a broad brush, but all of the you know,
left wing policies he enacted while he was governor of Minnesota,
thos are on full display for anybody who bothers to
look at them. That would be the team formerly now

(10:03):
one hundred and eighty degree flip Kamala Harris joining up
with noted notable comedy Waltz for the President and Vice
President of the United States of America. So I wouldn't
expect those questions to be asked. I would, if I
was a real reporter asked those questions. CNN's you know
and the other component of this, and don't laugh, but

(10:26):
there has been a notable at least if you can
observe it, if you read enough about CNN and as
many articles as I do, CNN seems to be trying
around the edges anyway to regain some of its credibility
if you pay attention to the ratings. Not a whole
lot of people watching CNN anymore, and they've been caught
so many times carrying the water for the Biden administration,

(10:50):
and of course left wing leaning journalists and talking heads
on the program they've alienated, you know, anybody who even
remotely can considered themselves an independent and of course the
entire Republican potential audience have just evaporated. Only the echo
chamber remains in terms of CNN's viewing audience. And it

(11:11):
seems to me that they're trying to you know, you
occasionally read an article where they're coming out they're being
critical of the Biden administration, or they're being critical of
Harris hiding in the basement like Joe Biden did and
pressing what appears to be a slightly more neutral message.
At least that's the way I perceive it now here
with this exclusive Harris Waltz interview, the first one since

(11:38):
she got the since she's was the coup de ta anointed,
one very first one. So in addition to Harris and
Waltz being under scrutiny, CNN also is under scrutiny because
there'll be a lot of people who otherwise do not
watch CNN, like conservative minded folks, folks realize that they're

(11:59):
in the bag for the left wing of well the world. Basically,
they'll be tuning in as well. So CNN, I think,
owes it to itself if it ever hopes to regain
anybody and stop the hemorrhaging of ratings to ask directly
some of these very difficult questions, and I'm anxious to
see how Kamala Harris deals with it. Five seventeen fifty

(14:34):
What A see here? Don't know which direction to go
in a few minutes I have here in this segment.
So let us talk about patriotism in the American flag.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Just for a moment.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
We got to Edmund, Oklahoma, where students had a rally up.
Reportedly one hundred vehicles show up outside of high school
in Edmund, Oklahoma, where students were told they are not
allowed to fly the American flag. Welcome to America. Twenty
twenty four. Edmund and North High School locals gathered to
push back against the Edmund Public Schools flag rule. Students

(15:11):
are not allowed to display or bring any kind of
flag onto the campus to what they say, limit distraction
and create a safe environment. Joe, you ever been to
an event of the American flag flying where you felt
unsafe that that flag somehow, you know, brought about an
unsafe environment. I know you don't attend anti American protests

(15:34):
and against capitalism where they burn American flags, which could
create an unsafe environment. But it's the fire, not the flag.
Of course, the symbol being burned. It's the point of
burning it, right. It's the symbol of capitalism, it's the
symbol of our nation, the symbol of freedom. High school
senior Caleb Horse said he was told that he was
not allowed to fly the American flag on the back

(15:56):
of his truck. He said, I never really had a
problem with it before, and it's our first Amendment, so
it's kind of hard for them to infringe upon our rights,
you know, a student observation for a high schooler, he said.
In the end, we're all Americans. We are all united
under that flag, so there's not much anybody can do

(16:17):
to separate us. Boy, what a wonderfully well maybe archaic concept.
That's something I observe all the time. Even the flag
is no longer a symbol of unification thanks to the
left wing nut jobs. You want to bring us down.
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, in a video posted earlier
this week, slammed the anti American flag rule. Quote, no

(16:39):
school in Oklahoma should tell students they can't wave an
American flag.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Amen.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
We have had Americans die for that flag, die for
students to have the right to carry the flag, to
wave the flag, to be proud of the American flag.
My department right now is working on guidelines that we
will be issuing to districts to ensure that no student
is ever targeted for having an American flag, and also
that our schools will promote patriotism. We want our young

(17:05):
people to be patriotic, we want them to love this country,
and we're going to continue to support our young people
to have the greatest understanding of American history and the
country and be proud of our country. Well, what a
wonderful concept that so it used to come about in
Civics class. And I'll go back to the point that
I've made many times over the years. You know what
did us in more than anything a victory our beating

(17:30):
after decades of Cold War, our beating economically the Soviet Union.
The falling apart, the destruction of the Soviet Union came
from within, its own economic policies, its own oppression on
its own people, its own you know, breadline living reality.
And of course spending eighteen years in Afghanistan didn't help

(17:52):
them economically. I don't how many years there where there
was thirteen whatever. They're the ones that got bogged out
and that mere only to bring us in and take
over for the next twenty But the idea the way
they ran their country parallels may be drawn to the
way we run our country and overspend and run up
a deficit we can't afford to pay anyway. But as
soon as the Soviet Union fee, we lost our moral barometer.

(18:14):
We used to be able to point to the American
flag as a symbol of freedom, pointing to the Soviets
as the antithesis we're great because.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
We are free.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Look, no breadlines, infinite number of choices and available goods
at the supermarket, people making money, people having jobs, blah
blah blah blah blah, look at them. And as soon
as that disappeared, we kind of lost our way. And
now decades later, we are embracing that which we fought

(18:45):
for and that which illustrated the superiority of our country
to the failed socialists slash fascist slash communist reality that
always unfolds in these nations who go go that direction.
And we're so hooked up and inextricably intertwined with the

(19:06):
Chinese Communist Party we can't even draw distinctions between us
and them, Well we might upset them. Billions and billions
of dollars in trade are at stake because well, we
hooked ourselves up to the chi cooms five twenty six

Further ado we get to local stories, you can feel
free to call that I'd rather talk to you. Since
a woman's going to be spending twenty four months in prison,
she's pled guilty to charges from February a quarter to
the US attorney Kenneth Parker, sixty five year old Pamela

(20:55):
Moore admitted in February that she laundered more than eight
million dollars and money she obtained through romance scams. Investigators
say she used her personal and business bank accounts through
multiple banks to launder funds between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty three, converting the money into bitcoin at the direction

(21:15):
of the scammers, more maintained multiple bank accounts for business
called PSM Custom Design and Jewelries. Using the business accounts
solely for wandering the scammed money. She pocketed about one
point seven million dollars of the funds. According to the
authorities she spent she won't just spend years in prison.
As part of the sentence, she has to pay restitution

(21:36):
of one point six eight million dollars romance scam. Let's see,
we got a good will facility in Woodlawn caught fire
yesterday morning, destroying a whole bunch of the winter inventory
that had been gathered through donations high value good will
So the facility caught fire was a central processing center

(21:59):
where donations are received and stored. Apparently electrical issue caused
the fire. Fire quickly brought out of control by forced
first responders. Although a significant portion of our winter inventory
is destroyed due to the fire, smoke, or water damage,
according to the statement from the Goodwill organization staff members,
they are still working to process new donations and Goodwill
locations in the region, but the damage means the organization

(22:22):
is in more need of winter items than usual. They
say they need to replenish the inventory of coats jackets, gloves,
as well as warm clothing and preparation for the winter months.
Organization also needs donation of Halloween costumes and decorations. Gordon
to Mark Hemstra, the president of CEO of High Value Goodwill.

(22:43):
Even though the fire is affected our winter inventory, our
focus remains on serving our community and continuing the mission
of helping individuals in need. They're grateful to support of
our donors and customers and encouraging the community to help
us rebuild the inventory. I know you've got an extra coat.
When the kids were growing up in my house, would
do it sort of an annual type of inventory of
toys and things, and you know, if they didn't play

(23:05):
with it for more than a year, if it sat
on a shelf for more than a year, it went
to Goodwill. Now, I know there's a coat somewhere in
a closet in your home and you haven't worn it
in maybe a couple of years, that coat. Drop it
off at a Goodwill location. You'd be doing you doing
society a favor. And imagine not having the funds to

(23:26):
even afford a coat. Got a former Mason City school's
bus driver fired from the position, now facing charges of
child and dangerment tied to an incident at the end
of last school year. Court of the District announcement yesterday,
Mason police said the driver, James Vance, charged with forty
six counts of enangering children. Local news WCPO reporting on

(23:47):
this police report sent to local Channel nine by Mason investigators,
heavily redacted, but said officers received a complaint that Advance
had been intoxicated while on the job. District officials said
the incident happened last day of school May thirtieth, and
since then the district has been working with the city
Mason Police Department, which charged the driver. This past Monday,

(24:08):
different Transportation Department employee report of the driver smelled of alcohol.
Accorded to notice of the Mason Schools, we swiftly initiated
an investigation. The driver was promptly removed from their route
a courting the announcement. Regrettably, ten Mason High School and
twenty one Mason Early Childhood students were driven to school
before the driver was taken off duty. Driver placed on
leave as of Tuesday, no longer now working for the district.

(24:33):
District said parents and families of all thirty one children
on board the bus that day. The driver is placed
on leave have been notified. Parents who did not receive
an email or phone call did not have a child
on that bus. Unfortunately, it didn't result in the crash
or an accident. Five thirty six at the five KRC,

(25:16):
the way John redesigned ours. It's just it was like
genius and this little things all added up to better

one on Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Time for the stack is stupid. But if you prefer
to call, I'd prefer talking to you if I went
three seven, four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight
two three talk pound five fifty on eight and T phones.
So let us start in Florida for the stack is stupid.
Big Pine Key, Florida specifically got a woman visiting the
Florida Keys from out of state with her husband to
meet a possible employer in jail after drinking half a

(26:27):
bottle of liquor in five minutes. As a tradition, crashing
into a combination bar liquor store as a tradition, and
then fighting with sheriff deputies as a tradition. Husband also
in jail. Corda Monroe County Sheriff's Office arrest report Kimille
Marie Robbins, forty seven and Charles Fronefield Lambert, forty one,

(26:48):
from North Carolina. We're in Big Pine, Key on Monday
morning to meet with that employer. The port says that
Lambert told deputies that they drove to Coconuts Bar and
liquor store. Rob went into the bar, purchased a bottle
of Crown Royal, and drank approximately half of the bottle
in about five minutes, leading to a spat over her drinking.

(27:08):
At some point, deputies say Lambert hit Robin's. Deputy say
Robin's got in their pickup to get away from him,
and then drove the truck into the side of the building.
It was seven point thirty in the morning. Deputy Brandon
ware Rogers wrote in the report that after he arrived

(27:30):
and the scene, the truck's front airbags were deployed, the
keys were still in the ignition, the transmission still in drive.
Deputy wrote, I asked Kimberly if she was okay and
able to step out of the vehicle. Kimberly stated that
she was fine and exited the truck. As Robins got out,
they said they could smell a strong odor of alcohol.
Kimberly had an unsteady stance and spoke with a slow,

(27:50):
slurred speech, According to the report, While waiting for medics
to check on injuries, Robin's quote would sway back and forth,
loosing her footing and falling onto the floor. After being
medically clear, Deputy said, Robins failed a battery of field
sobriety tests. They took her to the agency's Key West
Jail facility to conduct a breathalyzer, and that's when things

(28:13):
went well. Any further wrong direction, Deputy said. During the
twenty minute observation period, Kimberly spat on his face and
then fell out of the chair onto the floor, The
report states, and I quote Kimberly then grabbed his leg
and pants and would not let go after he gave
multiple verbal comments to do so. Deputy had to use

(28:35):
mechanical compliance to break free. What do you think mechanical
compliance me Robin's not facing felony charges of battery and
law enforcement officer resisting arrest with violence and two misdemeanor
duy chargers. Lambert facing misdemeanor battery charges half a bottle

(29:02):
of Crown Royal in five minutes. We go to the
idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Categories. You know,
the real shot, real instant karmer. We would be reading
about the death of this New Jersey woman, but we
do have this woman charge after video showed her entering
a tiger enclosure in the South Jersey Zoo Last week.

(29:24):
Bridgton Police Department said twenty four year old Zayer Dennis
of Millville restaurant charges in charge with defiant trespassing and
two city ordans violations associated with climbing fences in a zoo.
They have a wall for that. It's the Kohanzik Zoo
in Bridgton. Happen August eighteenth. She was seen climbing over

(29:46):
a wooden fence in order to reach the tiger, and
the video it appeared as though she reached toward the
tiger before the animal attempted to bite her hand offered

back over the fence and leaving the enclosure. The tiger
paced near the fence after she got out. A sign

they'd received these videos from visitors who watched it happen.
They turned to social media, asking for the public's assistance
and identifying the women. Police said the video sparked great
interest and the department received instant responses, leading to her identification.
Idiots doing idiot things because there idiots well and notably

wonderful product USA Insulation. The energy bills are going up.
They've gone up thirty percent already, They're going to go
up again by all accounts, maybe additional thirty percent over
the next year. You are paying an outrageous amount for
electricity energy. Generally speaking, we all know that. That's why

(31:11):
USA insulation is such an important thing to add to
your under insulated or uninsulated home. That foam will guarantee
you savings on your energy bill every single month. The
product pays for itself, and in fact, they're going to
give you a free attic insulation when you pay for
the foam injected into the exterior walls of your home.
Don't know whether you're under insulated. If your home is

(31:31):
built after the seventies, you got some mid seventies, you
got some insulation. But if you're like my daughter's home
late late seventies, built R twelve and really old are
twelve it's not cutting it never did cut it actually,
so the phone goes in with the old insulation. Or
if you have nothing in the exterior walls mid seventies
or before, build, fill it with the phone, highest star
value on the market. Get that free attic insulation. And

(31:53):
then long comes the federal government, who if you fill
out your tax re form and take credit for the energy,
take a energy tax credit on your taxes next year,
they're gonna give you. Basically, it's like writing a check
for twelve hundred dollars. It's like taking twelve hundred off
the top.

Well I pety five KRCD talk station. Happy Wednesday. Uh,
getting ahead of myself. Go to the phones real quick
here five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two three talk. Hopefully I'm seeing
him next Wednesday at Weedham and Brewery where we're having
our listener lunch, Saint Bernard. It's an awesome place. Market
on your calendar. I got confirmation yesterday. Christopher Spindaman will

(32:42):
be there next Wednesday. Will Cribbage Mike be at listener
lunch next Wednesday? Welcome to the morning show, Mike. It's
always a pleasure hearing from you, my friend.

Speaker 7 (32:50):
Good morning, Brian, And yes I will be there. Might
be a little bit, a little warn for my new sweatshirt,
but yes I will be there.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Fair enough, fair enough us. I think it's supposed to be.
It's supposed to cool down by next week. At least
that's the rumor on the street. Anyway, I'll keep my
fingers coming.

Speaker 7 (33:07):
Oh my god, they might get to eighty eight.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, well it is August. So what's on your mind today, Mike, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Our vice presidential candidate. I mean, they're really coming out
of the woodwork. And like you said, there's nothing worse
than having integrity issues. But some obscure he cleaned in
years past. He won some type of award from the
Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, and they did not skip a beat.
They came right out and said it never happened. But
concerning his military issues, and I couldn't help but notice

(33:38):
that the at at the NC last week, the way
they were, you know, all the American flags, is very
un candy for them, the Democrats, to do that. If
he didn't have these military issues, I think that would
have been front the center. The only thing I saw
was his boot camp picture. And there's no doubt he
did make command sergeant major, which is the Hyatts enlisted

(34:00):
rank E nine in the Army. But anytime you attain
those type of ranks, you must do so much time
prior to your retirement to retire at that and I
saw plenty of c Span and other things on TV
that he addressed himself as the most senior person ever
to be appointed to Congress and stuff like that, So

(34:21):
I didn't think they wanted to make a point of that.
I think Donald Trump should stay away with it because
they put words in his mouth when it comes to veterans. Anyway,
I'm looking forward to the vice presidential debate where clearly JD.
Vans is a four years active duty marine can speak
to those terms and put it in terms only the
way JD. Vans can.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
He does a good job, Yes he really does. I
don't care what you say about JD.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Vans. He does get a message across and he can be.

Speaker 7 (34:47):
A little snarky too, in a inappropriate way because once
again I think that no pun intended, that could be
a minefield for Donald Trump to go there. There's no
doubt that the governor did put in twenty four years
with the national goal. But clearly, you know he did
not retire as a command sergeant major, and I think
that's a lot of reasons that he did not go
to Iraq, and that only if you had his documents

(35:09):
as far as when he put his retirement in because
you just.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Can't do that overnight.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Now.

Speaker 7 (35:14):
I'm not claiming to know the National Guard inside out
and backwards, but I know from the active duty ranks,
you just can't drop your papers and be gone two
months later, especially as an E nine as a command
sergeant major. But those are the types of things that JD.
Evans can definitely challenge him on by his head service
in the Marine Corps.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, and you know, I just keep going back to
the guy knew what his rank was. He knew and
he needed to achieve that lasting status. He didn't accomplish
it because he didn't go through all the requirements. Why
did he feel the needs to lie.

Speaker 7 (35:46):
To embellish it?

Speaker 8 (35:46):
Right?

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Yeah, I mean happened to Brian Williams when he did that.
There's I mean, to attain the rank of eight. Not
everybody can even do that. Yeah, you know, yeah, and
I don't even know what that equivalent rank is in
the Army, but I know it's it's sergeant something or other,
and that's something you could be very proud of.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
What twenty four years exactly?

Speaker 4 (36:03):
You see, it's enough twenty four years a proud service,
you know, Honestly, I don't care if he obtained any
superior elevated rank as long as he wasn't you know,
he didn't didn't engage any misconduct, he wasn't written up,
He retired, and an honorable discharge DD two to fourteen
hanging on the wall. Look at me, I was honorably
discharge after serving twenty four years. That in and of

(36:25):
itself is enough. And we be patting him on the
back and thanking him for a service. No, you had
to embellish. No, you never did achieve that formal rank.
You did service that, but you did not earn it completely.
And can't go around and tell the world that that's
where you, where you were when you when you got out.
It's a pointless exercise to even engage in the lie.
And here we are talking about it as a consequence

(36:47):
and then looking at other areas on his record where
he has misrepresented the facts. So anyway, I just doesn't
do anybody as service to lie. I mean, what the
hell is the point? But yeah, exactly, and you just
you built into that equation what you are experiencing since
you've served your country proudly, and we're honorably discharged you

(37:07):
built into it. The reaction from most people in service
or are saying, that's just not right. It's just not right,
alienating proud men and women who serve their country. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Looking forward to next Wednesday already, and I'm hoping to
have a wonderful listener lunch and everybody's invited again. Will

(37:28):
be at Wheedaman Brewer. You can even hang out and
watch Mike kick my butt again in Crowage. I occasionally

be and also get the podcasts like, for example, The
Deep Dive with Daniel Davis yesterday, the Bright Bart Inside
Scoop always an interesting segment. I always enjoy that and
I hope you do as well. So, without further ado,
what else is going on? The flip flop begins. The

(39:18):
messaging is sort of being massaged, if I may be delicate.
Kamala Harrison now flip flopping all over the place, even
being called out by axios. It's flip flopping the border wall.
Most notably obviously, we've had the worst illegal immigration crisis
in the United States history under the last three and

(39:38):
a half flush years of the Biden Harris administration, where
Kamala Harrison, in spite of what the mainstream media is
trying to tell you, is spinning her into having nothing
to do with the border, but labeled regularly by that
same media as the borders are to do. Believe it
was a self annoyed and title by Kamala Harris herself
or at least Joe Biden. She's now a pledge to

(40:01):
spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a wall
on the southern border. Previously, she described building a wall
as Unamerican, at least while Trump was on watch, and
again the left leaning Axios called it the latest example
of Harris flip flopping on her past liberal positions. Harris

(40:23):
is now embraced again more hawkish immigration policy. She's great
on border security.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Right.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
The point is she is now that you all remember
this so called bipartisan immigration reform bill that failed to
get enough votes in Congress to actually pass, and they
keep referred to as bipartisan and not that many Republicans
actually were in favor of it. It didn't do a
whole lot to stem the unregulated flow of immigration. But
the bipartisan so called border bill did include additional money

(40:54):
to build the wall, the wall that Trump was trying
to build, which the Democrats stopped from happening as soon
as they got elected. Back in twenty seventeen. Harris, then senator,
called Trump's border wall a stupid use of money and
committed a block funding for it. It was twenty nineteen
Democrats game could regain control of the House. They opposed

(41:15):
large scale funding that Trump requested for the wall. Remember
the government shutdown that that brought about. Some funding was approved,
but it was a hell of a lot less than
what Trump and initially requested. Trump declared a national emergency
in February of twenty nineteen to divert funds from other
projects to build the wall, which the Democrats stopped from having.

(41:35):
So now Kamala Harris is all about building the wall.
We need to build a wall, you believe her. In
another flip flop, where's Kamala Harris on the EV mandate? Well,
if you look at her record, she's all about it.
Not anymore her campaign team, not Harris again, I'm hoping

(42:00):
CNN asked her about this flip flop, where are you
on an ED mandate? Because now her team is saying
that she's not in favor of forcing us all into
electric vehicles in spite of her history on that very topic.
What they call a fact check email, harris campaign's rapid
response director again not Harris herself, but a woman named
amar Moosa. I think that's a woman anyway, wrote that

(42:24):
Senator jd Vance would quote undoubtedly lie close quote about
things like, well that Harris wants to force every American
to own an electric vehicle. Fact, according to amar musa fact,
Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate.
That's a quote from the campaign person Donald Trump rally

(42:46):
against the Inflation Reduction Act, while the Biden Harris administration
oversaw the creation of tens of thousands of new clean
energy jobs in Michigan and provided groundbreaking subsidies and tax
credits for electric vehicle Now, let's look at her history again.
They're trying to remake her right in front of our face.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
This is shameless.

Speaker 4 (43:13):
They've done polling on the ev mandate and everybody of
all political stripes doesn't want it. Ergo the flip flopping
that now is taking place real time. During when she
was Senator, she was one of the original co signers
of Democratic New York Representative Alexandro Casio Cortez and Ed Marky,

(43:35):
Democrat Massachusetts twenty nineteen Green New Deal that worked to
establish a group blueprint to shift to US to one
hundred percent clean energy by twenty forty In other words,
no internal combustion engines, folks. Fortunately, the measure failed in
the Senate. Thank god, Juckie Shimmer will do something to
fix that filibuster when he becomes well Senate majority leader again.

(43:59):
If the Democrats retain control of the Senate, keep that
in mind. After winning in twenty twenty, Harris continued spearheading
climate change initiatives. The Clean School Bus program she was
all about that. That was three years ago, created as
a provision under the Biden Harris Administration's Infrastructure Bill from

(44:19):
twenty twenty one, allocating five billion with a eight dollars
for the clean bus program. Remember they were going to
build ev charging stations. Yeah, she was part of that too.
We got eight so far. Similarly, with the Clean bus,
ETA has since made one billion dollars in grants to

(44:40):
help deliver twenty five hundred electric school buses to school
districts all across this great land of ours. However, thus far,
sixty sixty battery electric or low emissions propane fueled school
buses have been delivered, farcraft from the twenty five hundred

(45:01):
dollars or twenty five hundred that they one billion dollars
was for. But fundamentally it's this shift to electric vehicles,
and she was one hundred percent behind this earlier just
this year regarding that program, every school day, twenty five
million children ride our nation's largest form of mass transit,
the school bus. The vast majority of those buses run
on diesel, exposing students, teachers, and bus drivers to toxic

(45:26):
air pollution. Today, we're announcing nearly one billion dollars to
funds clean school buses across the nation as part of
our work to tackle the climate crisis. An investment in
our children should called it. She's also in charge with
helping lead the Electric Vehicle Charging Action Plan. That's when
I just mentioned a moment ago in passing in an

(45:48):
effort to ensure that fifty percent of the cars will
be electric by calendar year twenty thirty seven point five
billion federal program m part of the Infrastructure Bill, aimed
to install one half of one million EV charging stations
across the nation. Remember this was twenty twenty one. The

(46:09):
money was funded there, it was, it was funded eight
as of May, you've got eight charging stations over a
course of three years.

Speaker 9 (46:22):
H hm.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
So I don't know whether you're gonna give her a
pass on this. I'm certainly not. And again, with CNN
doing an interview with both her and Waltz pre recorded tomorrow,
will they ask these questions, will Kamala Harris actually utter
the words, I am not in favor of EV mandates?
And if she does.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Will you believe her? Will you believe her?

Speaker 4 (46:54):
Fred is on the phone. Gotta hang on, Fred. I
definitely want to see if you got your road fixed.

Speaker 11 (48:10):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station six twenty.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
On Wednesday, Brion Thomas is inviting phone calls and going
straight to the phone.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
It's got a few callers online.

Speaker 4 (48:20):
We're gonna start with Fred, Fred Fix, Fred Street.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Fred, welcome back to the morning show. Always great to
hear from you.

Speaker 12 (48:26):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 13 (48:28):
How are you doing this morning?

Speaker 1 (48:29):
To hear me, I can loud and clear, Fred.

Speaker 13 (48:31):
Okay, okay, okay. Before I get started, I have to
say this.

Speaker 12 (48:35):
I don't think I.

Speaker 13 (48:35):
Can see it because I'm an old black guy, but
uh I believe. I believe the drug guys on my
corner has been recruiting. They have hired new people. They
got first second answer ship now. So I've just letting
people know that people are hired, but the wrong ones
are hired.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
Oh my god, I'm so sorry to say that. I
got you, man, And that is a problem that you
are facing on in your neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
You're being serious about that, aren't you.

Speaker 13 (49:04):
Yeah, yes, I am. But the city problem I keep
I don't understand is the police know they're there because
they're coming there, they're they're park on the corner. They'll
move out the wave, then the peace the police will
pull off. If you know they're there, you know what
they're doing. You know they don't belong on their streets.
Why would you allow them to have them there? And
once again, I think, as long as they know where

(49:24):
they're at and they can ride by and see them
and they don't go to another neighborhood, it's okay where
they're at in my neighborhood. That's why I don't like it.
But anyway, let me get back what I called you.
I'm a I'm a truly undecided voter, truly, and but
but what I what I'm hearing from both parties, I
don't like what I'm I'm not hearing. I'm not hearing

(49:45):
more attack from each one. I'm not hearing issues, and
my problem is now I do want to vote, but
my whole thing is I'm not hearing sustance right from
neither part.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
Right, you're right now, the attacks, the attacks are born
of different policy positions, like you know, inflation's high. Look
what we've got because of the unbelievably massive infusion of
cash under the Biden administration as president. Rather than that,
I will do fill in the blank. So the attacks
are genuine, but we don't get the answer to how

(50:23):
things are going to change under from either side.

Speaker 13 (50:28):
True, but let me say it. Let me put it
in this way. I used to make a little money,
now don't make as much as I did. For the
people that don't make a lot of money, these issues
do will not affect them, no type of ways, none, whatsoever.

Speaker 7 (50:42):
What do you say it like this on?

Speaker 13 (50:44):
Let me play what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, because you
you got, you got you had individuals that's making memo
ways I think, who are three dollars is not going
to affect them. I was in property management for thirty
five years. Uh, rent increase was a norm for every
singe years. So things that people are saying that it's
not a norm. It actually is, and we're getting into

(51:08):
this pigeonhole that's saying that this is not the way
it used to be. Gas prices from look from the
seventies all yet to now, it always went up. Prices
is always going to go up. My whole thing is this.
That's what I want to know. I want my neighborhood
to be safe. I want my kids to go to
a nice school. I want to be able to go
anywhere I need to go without no problem. That's what

(51:31):
I need. All this other stuff it doesn't mean a
lot to me because it's not going to affect me.
I don't make over one hundred thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 14 (51:40):
You know.

Speaker 13 (51:40):
I'm not driving one of these electric cars, you know,
so it's not affecting me.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
I'm sorry, go it now, You're this is I mean,
this is why I my you know, sort of my
rallying cry that you put in my head.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Fixed Fred Street.

Speaker 4 (51:52):
You are being impacted by things that should be part
of the core function of government, which are being ignored.
Fix the damn infrastructure. Give me a safe neighborhood, safety
and security, and an infrastructure where we can all live,
thrive and survive and be left to our own devices,
is really the bottom line. So they're not even dealing

(52:12):
with the core services.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
They're moving on.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
But when you talk about these things don't impact me,
and I'm thinking you mentioned the price of gas. One
of the reasons the price of gasoline has gone up
faster than regular inflation is because of the very policies
that I'm critical of, forcing and mandating electric vehicle transition
by raising the cafe standards beyond anything in internal combustion

(52:37):
can do, and at the same time prohibiting us from
drilling and expanding our capacity to refine gasoline so it's cheaper,
so they stop. And if they take away part of
the supply chain, which pure simple economic principles result in
a higher price, don't forget Barack Obama set it out loud,

(52:58):
the price of gasoline will necessarily increase, not because of
the normal supply the supply or rather the normal laws
of economics, which, as you're right, over time it has
gone up, but inflation has gone up over time, it
does every year on average two percent. But when you
insert a policy that takes away some of the supply,

(53:19):
or in many cases a lot of the supply. Then
you're gonna force the price up even faster than normal inflation.
So you are directly impacted by these grandiose policies regarding
climate change, which I am critical of. So big policies
don't impact you like in real time, but eventually you're
gonna get hit in the wallet.

Speaker 13 (53:41):
What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna make a choice. By Friday,
I'm gonna do my homework. I'm off the next couple
of days. Okay, I'm gonna do my homework. I'm gonna
call it, and i'm gonna let you know what choice
that made and why I made the choice. All right,
Like I said, all I want to do is here
what they're gonna do with forwards in my community, what
they gonna do for us, not just for I'm a

(54:02):
older guy, so if I got twenty years left, I'm
happy anyway. The younger generation that's coming up behind me,
show me what you're gonna do for them.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Well, I'm glad you care.

Speaker 4 (54:14):
I'm glad you care about the younger generation because you know,
if you have a conversation with my mom, she's like,
I'm eighty four, I'm not gonna see the end, and
she believed at the end is nigh, but I'm gonna
be dead before it happens. A lot of people have that,
and I think a lot of people in government had
that philosophy too, except unlike you and me, Fred, they're
making tons of money. Hell, I mean, look at Obamas
are worth seventy million dollars. You know, so and and

(54:39):
and don't forget one of the things you need when
you're doing your homework. Just remember talking about safety. Who
is the party of defund the police right and who
has led us to the problem we've got with law enforcement.
No one wants to be a law enforcement officer because
so many people have this perception that they're all bad
and evil. Fred, I want a bunch of officers on you

(55:00):
neighborhood getting those drug guys off the street.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
If it was my neighborhood. Hell yeah, same thing.

Speaker 13 (55:05):
Now then, like I said, I'm gonna do my whole work.
I'm gonna stop lease four or five police officers when
they're not doing anything. But I'm a truly ask them.
It's force them around and what they think. Yeah, And
I'm like I say, I will let you know what
I decided.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Police do and and you know, in so far as
it was the other thing.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Oh, you made a comment the other day, and I
got a bunch of responses from people in law enforcement.
You talked about the police driving down Work Road and
just kind of sailing through, and you wish they their
route was going maybe south or north a little bit
hit some of the neighborhoods that have high crime. I
was told by a bunch of police officers that Work
Road is like a transition road. They're going to an event,

(55:44):
or they're going to their patrol jurisdiction, and it just
happens to be the main road that goes from these
various points where law enforcement is supposed to be. That's
the That was the example that was told me by again,
I three or four people in law enforcement.

Hey Jay, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the
Morning show.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
Hey Brian, how are you? I'm doing great as well,
all things consider.

Speaker 15 (58:07):
A feel for Fred. Having drug dealers in your neighborhood
must just be horrible.

Speaker 13 (58:11):
I know, I know, you.

Speaker 15 (58:14):
Know, he has to know Kamala Harris was the queen
of defund the police. She wasn't just.

Speaker 7 (58:20):
Part of the party.

Speaker 15 (58:21):
Oh and she was the rallying cry for it.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
So and a big proponent of her.

Speaker 15 (58:26):
And know that she had a big part in that, a.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
Big proponent of the bailing people out, that that the
fund to bail out hardened criminals from and and given
him the bond money.

Speaker 15 (58:38):
Yep, you may know. You may remember I lived in Portland,
Oregon for twenty years, so I've I've seen this movie before,
and this this Marxist totalitarian rule has spread from being
in the states of California, Washington, and Oregon to if
she gets elected, it's going to be all over the country.

Speaker 16 (58:58):
And she's lying.

Speaker 15 (58:59):
She all of her policy positions will change as soon
as she gets into Office's never told the truth in
her life. Hey, I want to talk about the EV's
real quick. I drive a hybrid Ford pickup. I get
forty six miles to the gallon. I can drive and
drive and drive, and hardly ever stop for gas. I
don't know if you saw. Toyota and Ford have both

(59:22):
given up on evs altogether. They just can't make their
companies run. The thing that nobody ever talks about is
there's two big sources of pollution with evs. Number one
is the power plants that create the electricity just doesn't
come from a hole in the wall. And number two
is the mining of rare earth minerals to create the batteries.

(59:45):
And there are poor kids in slave labor over in
Africa digging that stuff up, and they're poisoning the earth
with the way that they're doing it.

Speaker 16 (59:54):
All we have to do is go back to the policies.

Speaker 15 (59:56):
Of Trump and create our own energy and Penance and
Bill carrs like the one.

Speaker 16 (01:00:02):
I drive and we'll be fine.

Speaker 15 (01:00:04):
There's almost no pollution whatsoever that comes out of this
truck I drive.

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
That's great. I'm glad you're having a great success with it.
And people who choose a form of electric vehicle overwhelmingly
go with hybrids. You can get like forty to fifty
sixty miles out of the electric which is fine for
short trips, and then of course the gas engine kicks
in and charges the battery. Why are you driving around
on gasoline? It's the ultimate hybrid drive.

Speaker 15 (01:00:28):
Yeah, it drives on a mix Brian. So right now,
I'm on I six seventy five and I'm using about
fifty percent electricity and fifty percent gasoline some time.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
How about that?

Speaker 15 (01:00:41):
It's amazing.

Speaker 16 (01:00:42):
So yeah, listen to m Harris, She's a snake Jay.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
It was your choice, wasn't it. You bought that out
of your choice. You selected that vehicle for its properties.
You weren't forced to buy it, and you made a
good choice.

Speaker 15 (01:00:56):
Apparently didn't buy it for me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):

that goes into my irrigation system where connects to the

(01:01:43):
hot to the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Backflow had a crack in it. Anyway, it was leaking.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
I didn't know what the hell was going on there,
and I knew if I got my wrench out, I
was gonna try to torq it off, it would probably
rule crack it beyond repair. Plumb type plumbing. I went
directly online, got online to plumbtight dot com. I scared
edled my appointment right there, and within five minutes I
got a call back saying asking me specifics about the problem,
wondering if it was an emergency, which I said, no,

Speaker 5 (01:02:47):
Com fifty five krc Chickoff is almost.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
Here, very happy Wednesday T before I get the gym's call.
Real quick observation. Fred is out contemplating who's going to
vote for you? It's going to be thinking about the issues.
And it may here that these large national scale issues
don't have a direct impact on Fred, or hitting his
road fixed, or the fact that he's got drug dealers
in his neighborhood and the police aren't around, or if
they are, they're not doing anything. The open border is

(01:03:12):
a has a direct impact on that, and how could
that be. I've got a whole stack of news on
the topic, generally speaking, but as I've observed and brought
to people's attention over the months, that We've had this
crazy immigration influx. It's costing cities literally millions and billions
of dollars, and that equals money that's not going to

(01:03:34):
be there for your road to get fixed, it's not
going to be there for infrastructure, it's not going to
be there to fund police. So much money has been
moved over that otherwise would go for core government functions
and has been this necessarily forced to be allocated to
the illegal immigration problem we've were facing in this country. Jim,
thanks for holding. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 14 (01:03:54):
Good morning, Brian. I wanted to say these things, but
Fred really caught my my point of saying. When I
talk to people in political uh yeah, you know.

Speaker 16 (01:04:06):
Political.

Speaker 14 (01:04:06):
Yes, I always say to them, don't look or I'm
not asking for what you can do for me personally,
do what's right for the country. And it comes down
back to you indirectly because there's no politician. Well, he's
just trying to buy your vote. If he's going to
offer you something personal like buy a house, get alone

(01:04:28):
on a cause for flee everything, all those things.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
Are personal things. You know, to be doing what's speed.

Speaker 14 (01:04:33):
To the country and take away your personal like if
you're in a large family. You don't do mommy, mommy
to do.

Speaker 6 (01:04:40):
It just for me, you kind of look, the parents have.

Speaker 14 (01:04:43):
To look for the family, the whole being of the
family of you know, whether there's a move or whatever
it is, you know what I mean, Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Sir, yes, sir.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
That's the problem with the way government has become, I
mean on a on on a giant scale. These huge
government programs will buil millions of dollars in funding for
do this, grants for that. We want you to, you know,
adopt this particular policy. We want you to move to
a green you know, zero mission, and in return, we're
going to give you a cash incentive in the form

(01:05:15):
of a grant in the form of a low interest
or no interest loan. Picking and choosing the winners in
the world. And you know, people complain about evil corporations
not paying their fair share. That's the way the tax
code was built. They have taken advantages of the dangling
carrots for government and get to offset the taxes they
would otherwise pay because they've done the government's will. That

(01:05:36):
helps them individually but doesn't collectively do anything for the
rest of us.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
It's an excellent point. It's yeah, go ahead, My second.

Speaker 14 (01:05:45):
Point is fan only you know who I am the man.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
Here.

Speaker 14 (01:05:51):
I said to myself, my wife and I, what can
we do personally? So I want to Claremont County, Warren County,
in Butler County. I gave them five thousand dollars each
to buy whatever they needed for their local Republican campaigns.
There's fifteen thousand.

Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
Now.

Speaker 12 (01:06:10):
I'm not bragging.

Speaker 14 (01:06:10):
I'm just saying anyone.

Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
Can do this. Anyone can step up to the plane.

Speaker 14 (01:06:15):
One County told me they need money for the what
I call them cheat sheets, so little pieces.

Speaker 16 (01:06:20):
Of paper that brings to the poll where.

Speaker 14 (01:06:22):
You're voting, and you can kind of run down the list, okay,
waiting to wh's some servertive, who's delivers. So there's all
the five thousand. Now, if you're going to start seeing
some ads going up on I seventy five and seventy
one on the massive billboards, and my wife and I've
committed eighteen thousand dollars, We've already signed a contract, and

(01:06:43):
we've got four catching slogans that are going to go up.
And people all the time say, well.

Speaker 6 (01:06:48):
What can I do?

Speaker 14 (01:06:49):
There are things you can do and do big things,
and I wanting to make a difference, and if anyone
wants to get involved, I don't want to give out
my number on the phone, but if anyone wants to
get involved in buying the huge that's play on seventy
one seventy five on the big big billboards. They're electronic ones. Yeah,
and up towards one County needs to be where we

(01:07:10):
remind people the Sharon Brown has got to be defeated.
These litermal has got to be defeated and.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Get out and go.

Speaker 14 (01:07:18):
Well, if you see that going on, that's my wife
and I personal statement is going to work.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
Jim, you're an inspiration. You are an inspiration. Every little
bit counts, and you're fortunate enough to have been so
successful in life and business that you can commit that
kind of money that many people don't have. I mean,
I can't see Fred maybe writing a check for five grand,
but I know Fred would like his street fixed, and
there's something he can do. Maybe put a campaign sign
out in your front yard, something as little as that,

(01:07:44):
and you can get one of those for free. Find
a candidate you want to support. Jim Neil, for example,
is going to be joining the program later. Get a
sheriff Neil sign. If you want better law enforcement in
the county, then get a Jim Neil sign. And you know,
maybe it's a sign that Jim my caller today has
paid for through his inspirational donation. Thank you, Jim, and
you keep up the great work.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Brother.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
I hope to see a listener lunch again, and yes,
I'll be more than happy to take some of your
awesome fresh eggs. Six forty seven fifty five krc DE
Talk Station George Steve, you guys up next, you don't
mind holding for a moment. I want to mention fast
and pro roofing because they are great period. Some of
it up fast and pro roofing everything across the board.
From the initial conversation you have with them, set up

(01:08:24):
an appointment. It's a free inspection. Going in with eyes
wide open on that knowing there's no commitment, just called
fast and pro It is going to be an honest
roof assessment. Anything wrong up there, they're going to identify it.
The price will be right for what they fix. And boy,
the work they do could not have a peer. Look
at an online at their website, you can see they
do custom metal work, they do box gutters, They do
any kind of roof commercial and residential, including you know,

(01:08:48):
more interesting type of roofs. Yes, shingle. You get an
automatic upgrade to the certainty Landmark pro fifty years shingle.
If you have to have your roof replaced, that's the
one I went with and I paid up for it.
You're going to get that upgrade for free. But you
know they do metal work as well, and they also
do terra cotta and slate work, citing exterior projects superior
in all way shapes and forms five on three seven

(01:09:10):
seven four ninety four ninety five. Again, it's a free
quote and honest quote. There's so many ripoff artists. Do
not go down that road, and especially don't work with
door knockers. Yeah, who are they are? The licensed bond
insured are just fly by night folks trying to rip
you off. There are a ton of those out there.
Five on three seven seven four ninety four ninety five
Online Fasten faste n fastenproroofing dot com fifty five KRC.

Speaker 11 (01:09:36):
It's for low information voters saying things like neither one
of these candidates have expressed their views and what their
policies are and all that type stuff you can look
at four years of Donald Trump and see what he's
done on the border, what he's done on energy, and
what he's done on the economy. You can also look

(01:09:57):
at Kamala Harris's views and.

Speaker 8 (01:09:59):
See exactly where she is.

Speaker 11 (01:10:01):
So for someone to say, I don't know what their
policies are, and I just wish, wish everyone would push
back on that and say, no, you're cherry picking some
social thing that Trump might say, and he spends thirty
minutes on policy, and he gives a little anecdote, and
then they concentrate on the anecdote.

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
Well, absolutely, that's the narrative from the mainstream media without question. Yes,
we have records we can look at. And who is
Kamala Harris. Yes, you've got her senate wreck, her time
in California, you have her time as senator, you have
her time as vice president. All the policies she has
come out loud and says she supports. But lo and behold.
Look now she's for building a border wall. She never

(01:10:42):
said that before. That was the it's the antithesis. Now
what she said before, Now she's planning on she's not
in favor of EV mandates. Well, wait a minute, about
five seconds ago she was So it's a little difficult
to navigate that, particularly for folks who have not been
paying attention to Kamala Harris. Like, for example, why in
the hell anybody from Ohio look at one individual senator's

(01:11:04):
record while they are in the Senate. We're not voting
for that person. And yeah, there are a bunch of
nut jobs senators there and she's just one more of them.
But now she's elevated to this lofty status and what's
become president, we can start analyzing it. But for someone
who doesn't isn't familiar with what she was all about,
we've got to go back and like you said, look
at it. We're expecting the media to do that for us.

(01:11:25):
It takes a lot of effort to go back and
pour through all of these policies. And you know, you're
probably a weed dweller like me. You've been on top
of this from day one. You're kip and connected to it.
You are in the minority in that regard. Most people
don't spend time on politics, so it means they're in
the dark up until right about election day.

Speaker 11 (01:11:46):
But one thing I've learned in sixty eight years of
life is. Don't pay attention to what somebody says, pay
attention to what they do. And we've seen what both
of these people say and what both of them do,
and you've got to be ill informed if you can't
discern that.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
Yeah, no, I'm with you, and I'm not necessarily criticizing
the ill informed, because I understand they've got priorities in
life and paying attention to politics when you're trying to
raise a family and work twelve hours a day and
you know, keep all the balls in the air, doesn't
really allow you enough time to dive on into something
that you really don't have a whole lot of interest
in anyway, in spite of the fact that it is

(01:12:25):
so profoundly impactful on your life. It's the world we
live in. I hear you, Steve out loud, and I
get you all day long, and you're right, but sometimes
you're kind of starting from scratch with a lot of people.
And again, most people don't spend a whole lot of
time with politics. We have any time left, Joe, now, George,

(01:12:45):
I have my apologies. Brother, We are out of time,
and I got to hit the ground and get Charles
tassel On right off the top of the our news
the National Real Estate Investors Association Chief Operating Officer. We'll
talk about policy, the Harris Walt rental Assistance program and
how that's going to impact us.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
That'll be next. Don't go away. The world can change
in just second.

Speaker 5 (01:13:06):
We'll bring you the latest in just minutes at the
top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
Fifty five KRC talkstation.

Speaker 17 (01:13:13):
This report he is sponsored bybe seven six.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
I have KARSITV talk station. Very happy Wednesday to Jim
Neale running for RIFF. He'll be on at the bottom
of the hour. In the meantime, I'm happy to welcome
back to the fifty five Cars Morning so chief operating
Officer in National Real Estate Investors Association, Charles Tassel. Charles,
welcome back to the fifty five Cars Morning Show. Great
to have you on today.

Speaker 16 (01:13:49):
Thank you, Brian, Good morning. How are you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
I'm doing well well.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
I just feel like I got to qualify as far
as the things over which I have controlled, Charles, I'm
doing fine.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
Beyond that, I feel like I'm in a crisis. Anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:14:02):
Remind my listeners before we dive into these the emergency
rental assistance programs plural and how it affects renters and landlords,
which is the topic we're talking about today. Remind my
listeners what you do at the National real Estate Investors Association.

Speaker 16 (01:14:16):
So we have about forty thousand members across the country,
and what we do is really try to put teams
together for investors people who want to invest in real
estate and really try to help them build a team
so that they can maximize the value that they bring
to the table and build wealth classically as we do
in this country. And have you know this is the

(01:14:36):
original hustle or side show. You know what kind of that?
How do I make some money on the side? Yeah,
you invest in real estate and it's a long term proposition.
And guess what, you build up your community. You invest
in your community, and you're helping people out who don't
have the capital to get started in housing in real estate,
and you grow the country. That's what we do.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
It sounds like a great idea, great concept, and of
course I like the capital realistic nature around it. Real
quick again, before we get to the emergency rental assistance programs,
what a city like Cincinnati has been struggling for years
and years As long as I've been paying attention dealing
with the problem of absentee landlords. You know, you got
you have an apartment building, it's it's there to make

(01:15:16):
you money. Hopefully you're taking good care of the tenants.
You're keeping you know, providing them with electricity and water,
and you're keeping the rodents and infestation out. But there
are a lot of them that don't. And when you
go to try to find them and prosecute them otherwise
hold them accountable under the laws that exist, they disappear,
They change LLC structures, and you got to start from scratch.
Is there a solution to that? I hate to put

(01:15:37):
you on the spot for that issue, Charles, but it's
one of those things that just drives everybody crazy.

Speaker 16 (01:15:43):
Well, so there's let me unpack that a couple of ways.
So works for a partners association for a couple of
decades only worked on this issue and just unpacking different
pieces of it. One as which as what is the
definition of an astitue landlord? Because some communities will say,
you know, if you don't live in our community, your landlord.
That's the farthest thing from the truth. Right now. The

(01:16:04):
realities are if you're not within I like to be
able to keep eyes on my properties. They're within the
driving range, they're short range. Most people that do invest
in will invest in a community or two. They know
their area and that's where they invest, so they'll pick
a community. They'll get to know what they know. You know,
two blocks over is a problem. Two blocks this way
is great. This is where I'd really like to move to.

(01:16:26):
So that's one piece of it. But the other side
is when you start going into building inspectors and police departments,
they have the ability to go in and they have
standing to go in and find out who owns that
LLC because most properties owned an LLC right And so
the municipalities what we've encouraged we actually start We helped
the city and the county actually get the official housing

(01:16:48):
docket put together well back when they wouldn't talk to
each other. That was one of the first steps. That way,
you've got a focused effort to really address. When they
are complaints brought in, it's not hey, I'm dealing with
you know judge saying I'm dealing with a rape. Today,
I'm dealing with a murder. I'm dealing with a delayed
paint What is this? You know? Well, The reason that
delayed paint is because this is one of the issues

(01:17:09):
that came forward because the person isn't investing in their
property and they're causing problems in the community and they're
deteriorating the property and deterior values of not only their
property but those around them. So we want to put
the housing docket together as one of the first steps.
But the next step is making sure that these cities
and this is where like the city of Cincinnati has
an attorney assigned to their police department. I believe I'll

(01:17:31):
call him out right now, Mark Manny. He does a
great job with this. You used to live in Deer
Park with with your neighbors. He is. His focus is
to when the police say, hey, we've got a problem,
we're getting calls or serviced at this property. He can
then go, oh, there's the LS. Now I have the
ability to go in from a legal perspective, find out

(01:17:52):
who the actual agent is, find out who the owner is,
and get to the next levels of service. That's typically
the barrier most mestilities are into. They don't have the
attorneys in are legal backing to help their people get
to that point.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
Gotcha.

Speaker 16 (01:18:05):
So that's one of that's a key step. Now you
can actually got Okay, now I've got something to go after,
because you know, prosecuting the nameless spaceless LLC, even if
it's you know, one person, only one house, it's very difficult.
So that's part of what we're doing.

Speaker 4 (01:18:21):
Okay, I appreciate your addressing that and pivoting over. How
does the the I think there are two e ers
emergency rental assistance programs collectively forty six billion dollars a
tax payer money to help folks in need evictions and uh,
you know sometimes it's utility bills that are behind or
in arrears passed to uh, just a variety of different

(01:18:44):
assistance measures. With all of these billions of dollars, How
does that translate into reality?

Speaker 16 (01:18:49):
Charles, Well, it's so era money is actually running out.
Most of those funds have all been expended, and the
sitting the counties are typically the ones that were handling
those funds, and they had organizations.

Speaker 6 (01:19:04):
Do that for them.

Speaker 16 (01:19:05):
So they went in and if anybody had a let's
face it, back in twenty twenty, that made a whole
lot of sense. In twenty one, you could still see
where people had some impact. They might have lost some
housing and they're trying to catch up because they lost
their jobs for a period of time. We're now in
twenty twenty four, you know, saying you can't find a

(01:19:27):
job in one of the you know, most businesses out
there are looking for applicants all over the place, a
little disingenuous. And really what we're finding is the ARA funds,
there's a niche and we found this. So the apartment
Association has a outreach program and donated over about two

(01:19:49):
hundred thousand dollars a year to local charitable interest you know,
food pantries and stuff like that, but they actually help
cover that rent shortfall. We found that people have miss
rent for one of three reasons. Typically it's an auto issue,
they lost a job, or they have a medical issue

(01:20:11):
and that could be a medical issue for them or
their kids. One of those three things. It was usually
about three to five hundred dollars somebody falls behind and
that you know, the budget doesn't quite match and now
they're falling behind the rent. So that's where the initial
funds would come in and help. And what happened was
er money was an idea to come in and say,
let's keep doing that and do it on a bigger

(01:20:32):
and bader scale, kind of like the federal government does,
and you know, they scooped in millions and billions and
threw it out across the country. We still helped on
the charitable side of that, much smaller dollar amounts, but
really focusing on the folks who are getting that that
kind of bumped in the budget, because let's face it,

(01:20:52):
if we've got it more than half the country, we
can't put one thousand dollars together an emergency. We're going
to have people who have some sort of economic kickup.
You know, finances don't work for whatever reason this month.
And what we found is really only once once a
year kind of thing. Typical family has this little kind
of incident once a year at most, and those are

(01:21:14):
the people we really want to try to help. That's
where local funds, the local groups can help with that
ear money's pretty much gone away. And what we're finding
now is so like the vice presidents come out and said, hey,
I want rent control, we need affordable housing. People can't
afford that house, and it's like, okay, there's you're conflating
a whole bunch of issues, especially start throwing around the

(01:21:34):
word rent control as national rent control, and then Brian,
you'll appreciate this. The justification to do it was to say,
we're a rent increases to five percent, okay, and if
you don't do that, we're going to take away your
ability to expense funds, which by the way, is one

(01:21:55):
hundred percent through the Tax Cut in Jobs Act of
twenty seventeen, which they already want to get rid of. Yeah,
it's one of those things you're like, wait a second,
you're gonna you're gonna use this as the incentive, but
you're already getting rid of incentive. In fact, it's only
eighty percent in twenty twenty four and it drops by
twenty percent every year from here on out. So it's

(01:22:16):
it's one of these disingenuous statements that's out there that
just conflates the issue about rent control and what can
be done. And you know, it's a pesky little thing
called the Tenth Amendment.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
Oh yeah, there's that.

Speaker 16 (01:22:28):
So you know rent control is you know, you know
in Ohio that's been preempted. You cannot do rent control.
You can't do it at the local level, you don't
do it at the state level. And our state has said,
we want to invest in the community. We want municipal
leaders to take the time to make sure that there's
supply in their community for housing. That's really where you

(01:22:49):
handle it. And it's not a quick fix or anything.
It takes a while to build houses. It takes a
while to go through the zone. It takes a while,
and the longer it takes, the more costly it is.
The more costly are housing it. That's where affordable really
comes in.

Speaker 4 (01:23:01):
Well, yeah, and California is a great example of that.
I mean, just to build a house, a house like affordable,
it's got like a million dollars. I mean, the cost
of supply is more expensive. The regulatory environment is outrageous,
and you got all the edicts and mandates, and there's
the nimby realities you face when you're trying to build
something because nobody wants a new house there. I mean,
it's just it's also an insurmountable challenge. But you know,

(01:23:22):
the reality is right now, I guess there is an
insufficient supply of what. I don't even know what quote
unquote affordable is. Is there actually a definition for that?
Because I can't afford a house in San Francisco there
isn't an affordable house anywhere for me, but here there
is what I would perceive to be under my budget circumstances,
affordable housing. But that's that the words they throw around,

(01:23:43):
it's it's so loosey goosey. It's like, you know, uh what,
what is a rich person? How do you define that?
I mean, it just depends on where you live, doesn't.

Speaker 16 (01:23:52):
It a lot of it?

Speaker 6 (01:23:54):
Does?

Speaker 15 (01:23:55):
You know?

Speaker 16 (01:23:55):
Midwest we still have some of the most affordable housing
across the country. By affordable in that terms, we're really
talking about is obtainable? Can you actually obtained Can you
work a basic forty hour week job? And the reality
is in this area, if you've got two people who
work forty hours a week at a basic ten twelve

(01:24:15):
fifteen dollars an hour job, they can get a one
better apartment. In some places they're getting two better apartments.
You know. So you know, I had a roommates when
I came out of college because you know, I can't
afford my own place, and part was I wasn't sure
I wanted to because riskiness of job and all that.
As you get developed and you put your roots down
and develop your value, you know, in the marketplace, you

(01:24:39):
make more money, and guess what, you can buy a
bigger place. But to say that, you know this, there's
this false notion out there that we take the minimum wage,
and the report that just came out for Ohio said
take the minimum wage forty hours a week, Well, you
can't afford a two bedroom house. And it was like,
of course not, you can't afford or two betterans, but

(01:25:01):
you could afford one. In fact, if you worked a
little extra, you could actually afford one in most places
around Cincinnati, around the Midwest. That's part of the problem
is we've got these people who are willingly complating things
rather than actually trying.

Speaker 6 (01:25:15):
To deal with the issue. So good.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
I was curious to know if they what you said.

Speaker 4 (01:25:22):
The funds are almost tapped out now, but the forty
six billion in this emergency rental assistance are they arguing
that we need to continue that program or those programs?
I mean, every government program that's ever existed has never
really ended. People get used to the infusion of money
or the free stuff and things, and then they say, well,
it's a it's a right basically.

Speaker 16 (01:25:45):
Well, Reagan had some great comments about that and about
the inevitability of a never ending program by looking at
the federal government. So yes, there's there's requests for that.
And again there's a whole package of things.

Speaker 12 (01:26:00):
You can go back to.

Speaker 16 (01:26:01):
January of twenty three, the White House put out a
Renter's Bill of Rights, which started laying out these kind
of principles and they, you know, they sound really innocuous
until you try to implement them and say, oh, we're
going to do leases. Well, they want to do leases
at the national level, which means you take the most
liberal version, so you take a California or in Massachusetts

(01:26:22):
or Maryland version and try to implement it. And by
the way, you're doing it at the federal level, not
the state level, where all all real estate and all
landlord housing transactions are taken care of. And I really
prefer to call them housing through housing providers because I'm
not the lord of any land. I would like to

(01:26:44):
be the lord of my castle. You know, I don't
have a cathole either. So we there, and there's actually
a real fight to take away that word because they
don't want to get rid of the word landlord because oh,
you say landlord, we always think, you know, mister Roper
back from three's company kind of thing, yeah, you know,
or something worse, worse. And part of what Kamala Harris

(01:27:08):
has come out with is she wants to go after
what she calls quote unquote big housing. Her definition of
big housing is if you own or invest in more
than fifty units. So if you are part of a
you know, doctors or engineers, and you're part of a
sixty unit apartment building, you're part of you're big housing, gotcha,
And you're part of the problem in this country. And

(01:27:29):
that's like, it's just the farthest thing from the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Right is that?

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:27:34):
That whole idea of going up to big housing that's
built on the notion that there are big corporations out
there that are going around buying up single family houses
and then turning them into rental properties.

Speaker 16 (01:27:43):
You know, and there are some equity funds that out
there doing it. Yeah, And they really got their taste
of it in kind eleven, twelve thirteen, back when you know,
there was foreclosures and there were long what they called
tapes coming out of banks foreclosure list and the bank said,
I have to get rid of this because the fat
is telling me to. So will somebody buy this, and

(01:28:06):
they were such large groups. It was only equity groups
that could afford it. Yeah, some of them have started
to spin them off, some of them have maintained them
and continued.

Speaker 12 (01:28:14):
To grow since that.

Speaker 16 (01:28:16):
He's had issues with some as well, and part of
the problem with that, and I'm happy to unpack that,
but it's a little longer.

Speaker 12 (01:28:23):
Convery.

Speaker 4 (01:28:23):
Yeah, we're going to have to save that one for
another day, Charles, since we are out of time. But
I sure appreciate your willingness to come on the program to
talk about this rather complex issue, Charles, and I know
you know it is COO and National real Estate Investors Association.
We will have Charles back on the program again to
further dive into this issue. Charles, thanks again for your time.
Have a wonderful, wonderful week. Stick around. Jim Neill's coming

(01:28:44):
up the next segment bottom of the hour. First though,
I gave a quick word for my friend speaking of
real estate, Peter Sia Kelliwiams, Seven Hills, best real estate
team you're ever going to work with, buyer's agents sellers agents.
He unpacked the whole change in the landscape about commissions
when he was on the program last week and it's
going to win you're year benefit. You got to think
of the idea of the real estate agent providing you
with value. Great real estate agents like the team of

(01:29:06):
Peter Shabria Keller Williams seven Hills certainly do that. They
can guide you, provide valuable information on how you to
maximize the sale price to your home or as a
buyer's agent, help you find the right place, what to
look for, what not to look for now, all the
important things that years and years of experience in the
real estate business brings to the table. That's why you
need a great team, and that is the Shabri group

(01:29:28):
of Keller Williams seven Hills. Check out the programs they
offer and nobody else is offering instant offer program, to
Love It or Leave It program and the cash the
Keys program really cool in there cash offer time and
that really helps you gain a significant advantage over other
bidders in a buying bidder war situation. To learn more

Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Vote
Jimneil dot com. Jim Neil, welcome back to the morning show.
It's always great having you on, great.

Speaker 8 (01:30:14):
Being on, Brian. Thanks for having me, sir.

Speaker 4 (01:30:16):
Forty years in law enforcement. You're going forward again. We
all would appreciate the vote for sheriff. For Jim Neil
for sheriff. He did it once, excellent job. We can
contrast that with the somewhat less than stellar performance by
the never in the media. God knows what's going on
within the Sheriff's department, Charmie McGuffey. But there is a choice,
and you have one. Jim Neil, what can I ask you?

(01:30:38):
I am I don't see much local news. I don't
see a lot of reports about it. I can see
it in Chicago and San Francisco, New York and other
big cities they're having a huge problem with illegal immigration.
Is there a problem locally with illegal immigration? Because quite
often we find that among the illegal immigrants there's a
pretty decent criminal element. But is that a problem in

(01:30:59):
our unity at all as you perceive it, Yes.

Speaker 8 (01:31:03):
On all the above. And it's because, if you remember,
Cincinnati was deemed a sanctuary city. So the foreign nationals
that enter this country from the southern border, the northern border, regardless,
they're heading towards these sanctuary cities, Brian, because the sanctuary

(01:31:26):
cities welcome them with open arms. And you're correct, you're
getting that criminal element too, an element that's coming here
for the sole purpose of victimizing you and your neighbors
to make uh, to make a sum of money and
and head back. And they're they're good at the craft,

(01:31:48):
they're well equipped, they're well funded, and they're well represented
in the court of law. And when they're arrested, the
current sheriff obviously is not working with immigration and customs enforcements.
So when these foreign nationals make bond the release from

(01:32:09):
the jail, Bryan, are they sticking around for court.

Speaker 4 (01:32:12):
No no flight risk, massive flight risks And let us
not overlook that is one of the things and one
of the reasons for bail is to make sure the
person shows up for trial. And if they're a foreign national,
they don't. It's no way. As soon as they get out,
they're going to head for the border.

Speaker 8 (01:32:31):
And we're talking serious crimes. We're talking like, for instance,
the burglary ring, and burglary is a serious crime, which
usually justifies the high bond to ensure that the offender
shows up for court and that our citizens are safe
while their case is pending, because they're locked up in

(01:32:52):
the local jail on bond, waiting for the processing of
their case. But when they make bond, they're out of here.
And if they have to go back home to get
a new idea and come back, so be it. But
crossing that border is not a problem right now. So

(01:33:14):
it's important that we shut down the border. It's a
crisis in and of itself having illegal immigration. Now you
throw in the drug trafficking coming across the border, the
human trafficking, the organized criminals, the violent criminals, it's just
too much, Brian. So it's going to take local sheriffs

(01:33:38):
throughout this great nation to when they are rent, when
these offenders are locked up in their county jails, that
ICE is informed of that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is
informed that are foreign nationals locked up, so they can
do their work so that when their release, one or
two things is going to happen. They're going to be

(01:34:00):
interviewed or they're going to uh take them into custody,
Uh probably in our area, send them up to Butler
County and hold them up there in the county jail
up there for deportation. Because if we can't keep them
locked up in our county jail, Brian, we need to
deport them.

Speaker 4 (01:34:18):
Sheriff Jim Neil on the record, will cooperate with Immigrations
and Customs regardless of the fact that Cincinnati declared itself
sanctuary city. I guess has the county has. Has Hamilton
County been declared a sanctuary county?

Speaker 8 (01:34:33):
No, But what has happened the sheriff has expanded that
sanctuary area into the county by now working with Immigration
and Customs enforcement. And I would say even uh, it's
expanded into our region. Because when you have a sanctuary

(01:34:54):
city the size of Cincinnati, our region is going to
be affected. Northern Kentucky, eastern Indiana and out uh the
villages and the other cities in Hamilton County, We're all
affected by the the illegal immigration and the fact that
today's the sanctuary city, and we get our fair share

(01:35:15):
because they're bouncing around from sanctuary city to sanctuary city.
The criminals are because when they're arrested, they make bond,
they move to another sanctuary city. Case in point, the
offender that made bond up New York went to Athens, Georgia.
What happened in Athens, Georgia. He murdered a female college student. Yeah,

(01:35:37):
sanctuary area, sir.

Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
Just heartbreaking, absolutely preventable, absolutely preventable. We're gonna bring Sheriff Jim,
our former Sheriff Jim. They will soon to be sheriff again,
we hope, and remember vote Jim Neil any Il. Vote
Jim Neil dot com or you find him. I'm gonna
come back when I ask you about a connected problem,
which of course drugs and fentanyl, as well as officer
recruitment and retention. We got a problem with that. We're
going to go on and on, Jim Neil, hold on,

Speaker 4 (01:38:06):
Seven forty Here fifty five KRCD talk station Bryan Thomas
with Jim Neil. He's learning for Hamont County sheriff. He
was sheriff previously, and you had some really great feathers
in his cop to by way of accomplishments, and I
know you're great with partnerships. When you were sheriff, you
partnered with the University of Cincinnati to talk about potential
solutions for the mental illness and addiction problem we have. Obviously,

(01:38:26):
I think it's apparent to all that we have a
massive fentanyl problem in this country, and that is a
problem locally as well. In part of it springs from
the illegal immigrant population, most notably the gang members who
facilitate the flow of drugs into our community. Sheriff, Jim
Neil I saw that when you were sheriff, you're the
one responsible for putting up those billboards encouraging citizens to

(01:38:49):
report heroin dealers and drug dealers to law enforcement, which
generated a one thousand percent increase in tips from the public.
It's like, you know, it's like an outreach program to
get people to drop a dime on bad guys. How
are you defendal problem is still going on, Jim, And
I'm not sure what the current sheriff is doing about it,
But what's your ideas for the future here in Hamilton County.

Speaker 8 (01:39:12):
Oh, absolutely, the collaborations with law enforcement are going to continue.
But yeah, that was an idea I actually got from
Sheriff Jones who had a billboard up Mental Town about
reporting the heroin dealers. And it just goes to show you,
you know, us the sheriffs, we all work well together.
But I will be working with local law enforcement.

Speaker 16 (01:39:33):
But I believe that.

Speaker 8 (01:39:35):
The fentanyl, that our drug problem is bigger than just
a drug problem. I truly believe we're under attack by
our foreign enemies that are weakening this country.

Speaker 16 (01:39:49):
With this crap.

Speaker 8 (01:39:51):
And it's bigger than just a drug problem. Brian, I
believe we're under attack. You have to look at who
are the victims of uh, of the addiction and UH
it's impacting a high percentage of our youth, both male

(01:40:11):
and female, and UH waking us in the core. Well.

Speaker 4 (01:40:17):
The precursor chemicals to make ventanyl are very inexpensive. They
are manufactured in China, and many of them are used
for actual legitimate purposes. But apparently they're easy to buy,
They're easy to put. It's easy to manufacture fentanyl. It's
a lot cheaper than the heroin, and heck, a small
bag can kill an entire population of a city. From
everything I've read, so I agree with you this is

(01:40:38):
a nefarious act by in large part, I think China
working collaboratively with the gangs, most notably the ones in
Mexico to import this stuff. So it's a geopolitical reality.
But you know, the sad connection though, is I think
it's one thing if you know you want to buy ventanyl.

(01:40:59):
It's an other thing when they make fentanyl into pills
that look like say Adderall, which you know young people
take apparently like eating chick lits or candy. You know,
I'm gonna study all night. I need a cram for
an exam. Can I borrow an adderall from you? Or
if you buy it on the street In many cases
it's gonna have fentanyl and it it could be deadly.
It's not even something people want, but they're encountering when
they're out in the world buying drugs, illicit drugs.

Speaker 8 (01:41:23):
Absolutely, it's to the point now where it's not safe
to buy a pill other than from your local pharmacy
right because of It's like it's like playing Russian roulette
now if you purchase a because you don't know what
is laced with a lethal dose and what isn't. So

(01:41:45):
it's like it truly is, it's playing it's a life
and death game. Ran.

Speaker 4 (01:41:50):
Well, maybe we'll all learn something because of that reality, Jim.
People will be less inclined to buy drugs from a
dealer anyhow, So the maybe a positive upside on that.
But in the meantime we're all suffering and struggling. Is
there still a problem in the Sheriff's office with officer
recruitment and retention?

Speaker 8 (01:42:10):
There is, It's it's more it's not just our agency Cincinnati,
They're they're hurting for people. Yeah. Agents, it's harder to
recruit now because of the demon us being demonized over
the years, and and with with the UH, the policies

(01:42:37):
of of these UH democratic cities and the UH defunding
police and just making our it's just making recruitment difficult.
But I truly believe with good leadership you'll be able
to recruit. I know that there. I've had former deputies

(01:42:58):
reach out to me, Hey, if you're elected, can I
come back? And I say absolutely, as long as nobody
leaves on a disciplinary note. You know, it's either you know,
you either resign or you're facing some serious internal charges.
You know, outside of that, if someone left because they
just weren't happy with the current administration, they want to

(01:43:22):
come back absolutely, So that's a positive note, Brian. Knowing
that from day one there is a number of officers that
want to come back to work.

Speaker 4 (01:43:33):
Well, that's sad that the that the shareff herself could
result in people leaving the job. Has it become that
politically or is that that political within the ranks? Is
it a you know, like DEI you know, hires or
you know, promotions based on something other than merit. I mean,
what's driving that reality that you speak of there.

Speaker 8 (01:43:56):
Is there are cases internally pending where officers were were
denied promotions or transfers, and it's there's a lawsuit pending
now on one of those matters, but yes, it's going on.

(01:44:18):
It's if you remember the current sheriff, there was a
complaint against her for creating a hostile work environment, and
I had investigated UH internally eternal affairs sustained. The complaints
were sustained, and I offered her another position in the
operation to get her out of uniform, UH, out of

(01:44:42):
the chain of command because she was creating a hostile
work environment. Well, guess what, Griff's back in the uniform
and creating a hostile work environment.

Speaker 4 (01:44:51):
Well, we should have factored that in the into the
equation when we voted last time.

Speaker 1 (01:44:57):
Sheriff.

Speaker 4 (01:44:57):
Any any other prominent policy positions are ideas you're going
to bring to the job, hopefully when you get elected
sheriff this November.

Speaker 8 (01:45:06):
Oh. Absolutely. As you know, I'm focusing on public safety
and law and order, and I want to create an
environment where the deputies and all law enforcement in this
county can just focus on doing our job.

Speaker 10 (01:45:24):
And stay out of the politics. And it's going to
read to a safer community when we're back to doing
our job and enforcing the laws and being.

Speaker 8 (01:45:39):
A proactive as well, not just reactive, but proactive and
law enforcement and working well with one another, enforcing the
laws in Hamilton County and arresting the offenders, booking them
into the county jail, and allowing the prosecutor to do
their job and the judges to do their job.

Speaker 4 (01:46:01):
Well, there's some other important races we got to consider
when you mentioned that prosecutor in the judicial races as well,
Jim Neil, I will encourage you to get over to
this website. Vote Jimneil dot com, help him out, get
a yard signed, participate in some way. We need tough
law enforcement. It is a pillar of a save, pillar
of a community. Generally speaking, if you have safety, you

(01:46:24):
have productivity, You have a desire for people to move here,
build and and and provide us with growth. Absence safety,
you're not going to have any of that, and things
will only get worse. Jim Neil, God bless you, sir.

Thanks to Brian for calling this morning. Brian, Welcome to

(01:49:03):
the morning show.

Speaker 6 (01:49:05):
Hey, how you doing.

Speaker 12 (01:49:07):
Good morning, Brian.

Speaker 19 (01:49:08):
I want to talk about Kamala Harris's proposed, and I
think she's backed away from this, but I just want
to ram up the fact that this is a pretty,
very very uninformed as it relates to the price fixing
comment about grocery stores and fixing their prices and saying
they're gouging everybody. I lived in Brazil in between the

(01:49:31):
years of nineteen eighty five and nineteen eighty seven, and
during that time they implemented such a policy nationwide and
it created total chaos, chaos and the stores if any
story had a price that was outside of the listed price,
they created riots. But what it really led to is
a shortage of everything that you really needed. Yes, you

(01:49:53):
couldn't get meat, couldn't find beeese, chicken, eggs, milk, all
the basics, because the farmers could not produce their their
livestock or feed their livestock for the and sell it
on market for the price that they were that they
were forced to uh to comply with, right, And it

(01:50:13):
led to a shortage of everything. It was It was
mass chaos and you're you're buying you know types buy
chicken from a neighbor, from from a rural area, you know,
technically black market.

Speaker 1 (01:50:24):
I guess yeah, that's black.

Speaker 12 (01:50:25):
You couldn't get anything.

Speaker 4 (01:50:27):
Now, that's exactly what happens every time price fixing comes
into effect. I mean, Richard Nixon learned that lesson when
you tried to fix the price of gasoline. Guess what shortages? Yeah,
I mean it's I think it's the shortages is proof
positive that there never was price gouging in the first instance,
when you can only make two percent margins, which is
typical grocery store margins are like two percent, and everything

(01:50:49):
costs more. The gasoline is more expensive. These everything in
the supply chain was disrupted as a consequence of COVID
and other things. Everything's gotten more expensive. Well, it's gotten
more expensive for the grocery store to up choir, and
of course the farmers bear the brunt up dealing with
inflationary realities as well. If you're being capped on what
if Kroger, for example, is saying, are being told that
they can only charge X dollars per pound for any

(01:51:12):
given item, and you can't buy the item for that
because the farmers need more than X dollars per pound
to make the product, They're not going to make the
product anymore. If they were really truly gouging. You know,
they would be able to continue profitably selling something. It's
just that their margin would be smaller. But that's not

(01:51:32):
what happens. The price is consistent with the cost of
doing business, and it has a factored in profit. And
by price fixing, you've taken out that profit margin and
the motivation to do anything. Ah, you're so right, Brian.
I mean, I guess is he didn't call me looking
for an argument. But you see, that's why she backed
off of it. Take care, brother, That's why she backed

(01:51:54):
off of it. Almost immediately. He's like, no, no, no,
I really didn't mean that, because every economist on the
planet pointed out the realities of what Brian experienced when
he's living in Brazil. See Venezuela, see every other country
who's engaged in price fixing. Hell, Cuba, you can't get
anything in Cuba. Most of the populations fled. I read

(01:52:16):
some just frightening statistics out of Cuba. It just doesn't work.
The market as a concept is really great at taking
care of itself when you don't tinker with it. You're
not going to pay an outrageous price for a pound
of beef. If there's competition in the marketplace, you know,

(01:52:38):
where you can go to get it less than the
place that actually is trying to gouge you on the
price of a pound of beef. You just can't get
away with it. There's too many choices in a free
seys system. And you know, I think about that. It's
like the government is allowed to price fix. The government
is allowed to tell any given retailer what the caust

(01:53:00):
has to be, or that it may not exceed a
certain cost. Do you know if Kroger has sat down
with any of the remaining competitors, it has and there
are fewer and fewer of those because they keep getting bigger.
But and that's not a diss on Kroger, it's just
the reality. But if they sat down with all the
other grocery stores and they met in a room behind
a closed door and they all said, we collectively, at

(01:53:22):
this table, our independent private entities agree that we will
not charge less than X dollars a pound for beef,
there'd be a violation of the security I say, antitrust violation.
They're not allowed to do that all. But it's okay
if government does it. It's just it's absurd it's obscene.

(01:53:48):
I'm not happy about inflation either. I pay attention because
I go grocery shopping every single weekend. I'm painfully aware
of how expensive things have gotten. I'm painfully aware of shrinkflation.
I know about all of it, thankfully not struggling. But
you know, I'm smarter. I'm smart enough to know that
Kroger is not gouging me. It's the reality that they're

(01:54:11):
left with, the painful reality for their customers, and they
know it. Yeah, but come the mighty hand of government
promising to solve all problems and fix all things. And
if you're fool enough to believe that that is possible
or capable, just look at what it's tried to accomplish,
going back to as far as time, as far as
the dawn of our country. In essence, I thought we

(01:54:31):
were and in fact I thought we weren't even supposed
to have poverty anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:54:34):
It wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:54:34):
President Johnson promised to eliminate the concept of poverty with
the Great Society Programs, literally trillions and trillions of dollars later,
with money flowing out of the taxpayer's pockets into the
pockets of other people. It has not solved the problem.
In fact, it seems to be as though it's gotten worse.

(01:54:55):
People have an expectation that they're gonna get free stuff
and things from government. It defeats the no of actually want,
having a desire to go out and work. I think
of my own childhood. You know where my work ethic
came from, you know, watching my mother and father and
their efforts. Of course, but I was lucky in my childhood.

(01:55:18):
I lived in a nice neighborhood. My dad was a
member of the country club. You know what motive e
to me to have a work ethic. I was scared
to death that I would not be able to continue
throughout my life to enjoy the standard of living that
I had become accustomed to. You know what that translated
into me going to school and working and studying and

(01:55:39):
getting as good of grades as I could accomplish, so
that I could fend for myself and I could try
to go out and live, thrive and survive at that
level of comfort that I had been accustomed to. But
when the government comes in and substitutes for that and says, no, no, no,
it's not your fault. It's only society fault. It's society's

(01:56:01):
fault that you well didn't go to school. Really, we
got quote unquote free public education. It's right there. I'm
a product of public education that served me well. But
I went to school and I studied, and I had
thankfully parents at home that insisted that I do that,
notwithstaring the fact that I would have done it anyway,
because again I was scared of having to do it myself.

(01:56:28):
The problem most all of us face. I had friends
that had fathers or mothers that owned businesses, and that
was their presumption that they were going to walk right
into that job. Didn't work out so well for quite
a few of them. Not sure they neglected their studies,
but they at least felt that they had something waiting
for them by way of employment that was not around

(01:56:49):
for me when I was a kid. And see what,
Carl Scott, Carl, thanks for calling this morning. So I
got a little long winded there. I looked up and
saw you were on the phone. Thanks for calling this morning,
and a happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 6 (01:56:59):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 16 (01:56:59):
Thanking any other day. Could President Biden do a presidential
uh amnesty.

Speaker 1 (01:57:11):
In terms of like for the for the illegals, I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:57:15):
I don't think so, that's that's the purview of Congress.
They'd have to pass a law that would give certain
terms of conditions to provide for citizenship or amnesty. I
don't think he could waive his executive pen around that one, honestly.

Speaker 6 (01:57:26):
Well, no, I'm not talking about the executive pen.

Speaker 1 (01:57:28):
I'm talking about how they do. Oh, a pardon. Interesting concept.
I'd have to probably think about that one. I suppose
on some level they could. He could pardon everyone who.

Speaker 4 (01:57:43):
Entered our country without authorization, you know, and they would
be free from criminal liability, criminal liability. I don't know
that that would necessarily prevent them from being deported, but
they wouldn't be subject to any penalty associated with crossing
the border. So that's a little bit more complex. But yeah,
I maybe, But as you say it, and as we

(01:58:04):
talk about it, I'm thinking, look, don't give them any ideas.
And actually I suppose behind the scenes, maybe they had
talked about something like that. But how do you think
that would go over with the general public. I can't
see that as a winning proposition for the budding Harris campaign.

(01:58:29):
Oh my god, everybody who is here awaiting a hearing
in which hearing, it will be determined whether or not they,
under the law, have a right to even come into
our country, Like, for example, they're fleeing persecution because of
their ethnicity or their religion, justification to be here. A
hearing due process would bear that out. The vast majority

(01:58:54):
of folks do not have a legal right to be
here because they have fled for reasons of economics. They
have poor eco economic situation. They came here maybe looking
for a job, or maybe to hook themselves up to
the ubilical Court of Government, which has been telegraphed to
Crown around the world that hey, if you go to America,
you're going to get a whole bunch of free stuff
and things. A fifteen fifty five kacity talk station five one, three, seven,

designed to be used multiple times. Every single day. It
gets used once a week. I bought a workhorse and

This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station. Get Ready
too soon.

Speaker 4 (02:00:51):
Eppy Wednesday, Judgenna paul Tonom coming up next. We'll be discussing,
among other things, his column which comes out to night
at Midnight, which I get a copy of early searching
for months, the idea of going into another country and
kidnapping someone because we designate them a bad person. I
just think about China coming in here and kidnapping someone
the Chinese Communist Party didn't like somebody here. What if

(02:01:11):
they came into our country, kidnapped that person and took
them back to China. I think we might have something
to say about that.

Speaker 1 (02:01:16):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (02:01:17):
A bunch of lawsuits going on and in advance of
the election, which is in November, where it's just like
a moment in time away from it, we got battleground
state lawsuits flying and fast, and furious. Democrats suit Georgia's
state election board just on Monday about its rules for
certifying results. Republicans went into North Carolina and Arizona challenging
their voter registration procedures. Battleground states primarily, and here's a

(02:01:45):
fun one Michigan, which is is in play. It looks
like as of right now, according to I just pulled
up the five thirty eight, which I think is an
aggregate of all the various polling, and most recently Kamala
Harrison had three percent over Trump. He maintained a slight
advantage over Biden before the Coup a' tah, but it

(02:02:08):
was very, very tight, so it remains tight. And as
with that, I look at the lawsuit that was filed
in h Well, Michigan, Republican National Committee suing the Election
Commission for the City of Detroit because they claim it
failed to hire enough Republican poll watchers for the prior
August sixth primary election. Michigan election law requires that the

(02:02:33):
Board of Elections Commission appoint an equal number as nearly
as possible of election inspectors. We got those same rules here,
there's Republicans, there's Democrats. That's what poll workers do and
need an equal number of both parties. Get a load
of these figures. According to the lawsuit, the city appointed
a total of two thousand, three hundred and thirty seven

(02:02:53):
Democratic election inspectors. Remember the law an equal number or
it's nearly possible three hundred and ten Republican elections inspectors
two thousand and three thirty seven two three ten. This
is the Democrats who controlled the city City of Detroit,

(02:03:13):
which is a ratio of seven point five to one.
That with the obvious very large Democrat advantages. It's noted
that of the three hundred and thirty five Wayne County
precincts for which the information is available, RNC said three
hundred had inadequate numbers of Republican election inspectors. According to
the complaint, even worse was the disparity with leadership positions,

(02:03:35):
with chair persons for only thirty two of the three
hundred and thirty five precincts being filled by Republicans.

Speaker 1 (02:03:43):
Hmmmm, little political bias there.

Speaker 4 (02:03:47):
State law also apparently requires that every precinct have at
least one election inspector from each major party at least
one RNC found that two hundred and two precincts did
not appoint a single Republican inspector. Now you may say, well,
that's cause there aren't any Republicans in Detroit, but apparently
the complaint points out they had a list of six

(02:04:09):
hundred and seventy five party nominated Republicans submitted to the
chair of the commission, city clerk Janis Winfrey, who's named
as a defendant the lawsuit. Fifty one of those six
hundred and seventy five reported receiving at least some communication
from a city official about being appointed, but were not

(02:04:31):
included on the city's final list of election inspectors. Shenanigan's
much and you know, I demotracs, of course, protecting their
own they want an advantage. But this kind of thing
leads to huge concerns over the integrity of the election.
That's why you're supposed to have an equal number. If
you're in Blue Detroit, the last thing you need is

(02:04:54):
to worry about a Republican being voted into office. I
mean the lockstep Democrats there, So why not have an
equal number of Republicans and Democrats. They'll go ahead and
win the election anyway, and the Democrats won't have anything
to or the Republicans want anything to scream about this
type of Shenanigan going on. And that was from the primary.

(02:05:15):
God knows what the situation is right now, but lawsuits
galore and all of them are way too close to
the election for in my estimation, based upon my years
practicing law, for any of them to have any resolution
before the election gets gets kicked off. Early voting begins
very soon eight twenty five right now, fifty five ks.
The talk station Judge Entopoltan is coming up next. I
get to mention affordable imaging services, and I love mentioning

(02:05:37):
them because it puts a smile on so many people's
faces when they go to get their MRI, their CT scan,
echo cardigram, ultrasund, et cetera at Affordable Imaging rather than
going to the hospital imaging department, because it saves them
thousands of dollars. Lots of folks goot bagging me. My
favorite example, of course, I keep mentioning Jeff. He is
by far and away the one who saved the most

(02:05:59):
because he got his echo cardigram for four hundred and
ninety five dollars at Affordable Imaging Services and yes it
includes a radiologist report board. Certified radiologist report goes to
you and your doctor within forty eight hours. Had he
gone to the hospital even after the insurance payment, my
friend Jeff would have been out of pocket thirty one,
one hundred dollars. That's the difference. And you know we

(02:06:22):
talk about profit margins, Affordable Imaging Services does make a profit.
And even when they're only charging four hundred and fifty
bucks for a CT scan, a CT scan could say
you back five grand at a hospital.

Speaker 1 (02:06:35):
It's just crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:06:36):
So the federal government isn't promising price fixing, and you
know what would happened if they did. Anyway, you you
have a choice when it comes to your medical care,
so why not save a heaploads of money. All things
are equal to the same kind of equipment and the
professionals operating it five one three, seven, five three eight thousand,

Coming up next, Special guests who is ready to celebrate
National Red Wine Day. As a matter of fact, he
happens to be a wine expert, so he's thinking about
starting a new podcast for his recommendations for a good
merlow on Labor Day weekend. He just can't figure out
what to call it. Should it be called read between

(02:08:16):
the wines or poor decision to judgees next Chuck Ingram
on fifty five krs the talk station. I think he
worked on that one.

Speaker 12 (02:08:28):
Oh god, he apparently did. It was actually hilarious at
the very end. I didn't know where he was going.

Speaker 4 (02:08:34):
Good morning, Brian, Judge you judge editor Poulaitana, who does
do a podcast. You can find him online Judging Freedom.
And of course we always end our segment with the
judge every Wednesday with who he's going to be talking to.
We will do the same today. I am doing well,
your honor, with the exception of things out of my control.
Of course, the world seems to be falling apart regardless
of where you look. But in my personal space everything

(02:08:55):
is in order, and I appreciate your asking. I hope
you can say the same, my friend.

Speaker 12 (02:09:00):
Yes, yes, absolutely, you.

Speaker 4 (02:09:02):
Look a little distressed there at the outset of our feed.
There we're having we're experiencing some technical difficulties throughout the
week with the zoom conferencing, So.

Speaker 12 (02:09:10):
Yes, I could tell I was.

Speaker 1 (02:09:13):
A lot of hoops through which they jump and apologies.

Speaker 4 (02:09:17):
And Joe Strecker is as frustrated as I am because
it's been shutting down and popping back up. So we'll
overcome those challenges. You'll remain audio capable, regardless of whether
I can see your face, which is always a pleasure
seeing so searching for monsters, you know, I responded to
your column which comes out tonight midnight. I'm fortunate enough
to get an advanced copy with sort of the old

(02:09:38):
turnabouts fair play. You know, do unto others as they
would do unto you. And I posed the question out
loud earlier in anticipation of this conversation with you. You know,
what if the Iranians decided somebody here in the United
States was an enemy, an evil person. I know they
put a hit list out for Donald Trump, among others,
and they came into our country, kidnapped them, and took
them back to Iran, with that be okay. I think

(02:10:01):
we would be outraged collectively. And yet it's okay for
us to do it.

Speaker 9 (02:10:05):
Well, you know, we are, according to Joe Biden and
according to the Republicans, the indispensable nation, and we can
do things that nobody else can do. We can conduct coups,
we can start illegal wars, and we can kidnap people.
The President of the United States can even kill people

(02:10:28):
in foreign countries, like Donald Trump with General Solomony, or
even worse, Barack Obama with Onwar Alackei and his son,
both of whom were Americans, and neither of them had
been charged with any crime whatsoever. General Solomony hadn't been
charged with a crime either. This all began when the

(02:10:50):
Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI kidnapped a Mexican doctor
from his office in Mexico, alleging the he was using
false prescriptions to overprescribe fentanyl to Mexican patients, so we're
then taking the fentanyl.

Speaker 12 (02:11:07):
And doing whatever they do with it and selling it
in the United States.

Speaker 9 (02:11:11):
He was violently kidnapped and brought to Texas for trial.
He challenged the kidnapping. The case went all the way
to the Supreme Court before he was tried, and the
Supreme Court said, we don't care how he got here.

Speaker 12 (02:11:27):
Now that.

Speaker 9 (02:11:30):
Was permitted because there was at least a nexus between
what the government said he did falsifying prescriptions and Americans
being harmed.

Speaker 12 (02:11:42):
Since then, under Joe.

Speaker 9 (02:11:44):
Biden's the reason for my column, Yeah, has changed the
law to remove the American harm nexus. So now federal
courts can hear cases of anybody kidnapped anywhere for any reason,
as long as they're physically present in the courtroom, whether
they have violated an American statute or not, whether they

(02:12:06):
have harmed an American person or American.

Speaker 12 (02:12:09):
Property or not.

Speaker 9 (02:12:09):
There's no longer the nexus of American harm required.

Speaker 12 (02:12:14):
That's what has me so aggravated.

Speaker 9 (02:12:16):
How does the government decide who the monsters are that
it wants to kidnap and bring to the United States
for political reasons?

Speaker 12 (02:12:24):
What other basis would there be? Is that what the
Constitution authorizes? Of course not?

Speaker 1 (02:12:30):
Well is it possible?

Speaker 4 (02:12:31):
I mean, my legal brain is trying to process the
absurdity of what you just explained very clearly and succinctly,
a sort of a reverse standing argument that a defendant
could make. You know, there is no harm. There is
no statue you can point to that I've violated. I
did not harm a single American. You don't have standing
to even bring me in the court. Moreover, you shouldn't

(02:12:54):
be able to kidnap me anyway. But that's almost like
it seems like a parenthetical since the Supreme Court ruled,
but it didn't matter how the guy got there.

Speaker 9 (02:13:00):
You know, the Supreme Court's attitude about this is one
of two ways. Either they really don't care what the
executive branch does prior to the introduction of the person
into the courtroom, or or I'll give them credit. They
were counting on that American nexus requirement. Okay, you were

(02:13:21):
in Mexico, you violated, you committed an act which if
done in the United States would have been a serious crime.
But you did harm Americans. I can understand that. But
by Congress removing the nexus connection, the connection between what
the defendant did and a harm to an American person

(02:13:42):
or American property, and telling the federal courts they must
hear these cases, Congress has permitted the President of the
United States to dispatch a private army to kidnap whoever
he wants, for whatever reason he wants, concoct the case
against him he's never been to the United States of
America and bring him to the United States.

Speaker 1 (02:14:04):
Could a future.

Speaker 9 (02:14:06):
President kidnap Benjamin Netanyaho and claim that he committed to genocide,
which is against American law even though he had nothing.

Speaker 12 (02:14:17):
Well, the United States paid for it.

Speaker 9 (02:14:18):
Maybe it's not a good example, but theoretically, under this,
under this statute, and under the Supreme Court's prior ruling,
the answer is.

Speaker 1 (02:14:27):
Yes, wow, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:14:31):
And I also think to extradition treaties, I mean, there's
an incentive for us to engage in diplomacy and enjoy
reciprocal extradition.

Speaker 12 (02:14:40):
If you know, we we have an extradition treaty with Mexico.

Speaker 6 (02:14:44):
I thought so.

Speaker 9 (02:14:45):
And this is where the Supreme Court's logic was really
off base, because the extradition treaty does not prohibit kidnapping,
therefore it condones it. I mean, that is absurd. That
would flunk a first year law school test.

Speaker 4 (02:15:08):
And we're our law enforcement folks. My understanding of course,
because of your column and it's well written, and I'm
courage my listeners to get a copy of it. Searching
for monsters were we invited into their country because this
is this would be like, you know of a police
force from say, I don't know, Nebraska coming into Cincinnati
and grabbing someone and taking them even though if they

(02:15:28):
went through proper channels they could get that person delivered
to Nebraska for an outstanding warrant. We would cooperate were
we there by invitation.

Speaker 12 (02:15:36):
Not invited into their country.

Speaker 9 (02:15:38):
But guess how we got in there by bribing the
local police chief with your tax dollars and mine and
the tax dollars of everybody listening to us. Now, what
happens when the government breaks its own laws. It kidnaps
and bribes the very crimes for which it investigates and

(02:15:58):
prosecutes people.

Speaker 4 (02:16:01):
You know, it's funny because there are laws on the books,
your honor, and I know you know this, but are
just saying it out loud to draw the contrast. It's like,
if government does it, it's okay, but you're not allowed
to do it. If you're a company doing business in
a foreign country that is a corrupt country, say Mexico
to a certain degree, and locals there are prohibiting you
from doing business unless you pay them a bribe. If

(02:16:22):
you pay them a bribe, you could be prosecuted in
the United States for engaging in acts of bribery.

Speaker 12 (02:16:28):
Correct.

Speaker 9 (02:16:29):
But if you are the federal government and you bribe them,
no harm, no foul.

Speaker 12 (02:16:36):
The courts couldn't care less.

Speaker 1 (02:16:38):
Wow, and again I read.

Speaker 9 (02:16:40):
My first book is called This Is Twenty years Ago,
Constitutional Chaos. What happens when the government breaks its own laws?
And the book is filled with these examples. And my
favorite is a federal district court judge who was set
up by the Feds and prosecuted for bribery, and at

(02:17:01):
his trial they bribed a witness to testify against him.
He was convicted in the tenth circuit. Throughout the conviction
and large measure because of that. That is the most
extreme example I've ever heard of the Feds bribing a
witness to testify against a judge and a bribery case.

Speaker 4 (02:17:20):
Wow, I brought up in an illustration. Earlier, someone brought
up Kamala Harris's a brilliant, economically miserable, stupid idea of
price fixing. You know, you're being gouged, and we're going
to set a price, some maximum price it can be charged.
You know, if private businesses went behind the doors of
a closed room and sat down together and collectively agreed
that they would not charge less than X dollars amount

(02:17:40):
per pound of bee, for chicken or whatever, they'd be
prosecuted for violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. But if
our lords and masters in Washington decide what the price
of chicken is going to be, it's okay for them
to do it.

Speaker 12 (02:17:52):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:17:52):
I'm giving a talk at the run Paul Institute along
with my friend and colleague, Professor John Scheimer of the
University of Chicago this weekend, and my talk is on
taking rights seriously. And in that talk, I'm going to
compare natural law based on morality the same for everybody

(02:18:12):
and positivism.

Speaker 12 (02:18:14):
The law is whatever the lawgiver.

Speaker 9 (02:18:16):
Says it is, so we can allow ourselves to do
whatever we want. You could count on one hand the
members of Congress, Thomas Massey of course, among them, who
believe that morality restrains the government. Everybody else, Republicans, Democrats, liberals,
conservatives believe the government can do whatever the hell it wants.

Speaker 4 (02:18:35):
As greatly illustrated and brilliantly illustrated by your column again
Searching for Monsters, available tonight at midnight. Judging Freedom is
a judge of Paultona's podcast and conversations with some wonderful guests,
Your honor, who is on the plate today, Oh.

Speaker 9 (02:18:50):
I have my heaviest hitters on today because I need
to be with the run prol group on Friday. Colonel
Douglas McGregor at eleven o'clock East and Scott Ritter at
four o'clock Eastern. These are my biggest draws and they
are close friends of mine and am looking forward to

(02:19:10):
the conversations McGregor about the coming war in the Middle
East and Ridder about the coming war with Russia.

Speaker 12 (02:19:20):
Does anybody know how close we are to war?

Speaker 1 (02:19:25):
Well?

Speaker 4 (02:19:25):
As you know, I always like to say I'd like
to end on a positive note with you, in a
comical note, but we're not going to be able to
do that today because yes, I am painfully aware of
how close we are. It scares the hell out of me.
Judge Ouna, Paula Town and God bless you, sir. They'll
be looking for your podcast Judging Freedom. I'm looking forward
to next Wednesday. Already, have a great day and a
great week, sir.

Speaker 12 (02:19:44):

it Rethink Hell Care Together, but just brilliant John Roman
and his team at Cover. Since you know every single
thing there is possible to know about medical insurance, including

out of pocket responsibility. How about dollar one coverage. There
are so many ways to make medical insurance far more
flexible and more convenient, like not having a network it's
really small. That means when you travel, you're not gonna

massive sums out of pocket. It doesn't take much but
a phone call or a form to fill out online
