Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now all of a sudden, she's amazing.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Clay Travis at buck Sexton today at noon on fifty
five KRC the Talk Station, five.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
O five.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Fifty five k r C the Talk Station. Friday Eve.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Said, okay, well the vacation.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You're fighting. Oh yeah, I suppose that may be the
operative phrase or the upcoming administration. See Elon Musk and
RFK Junior making comments about which direction they're going to go.
I'm positive about that. Happy Friday. Brian Thomas right here,
Joe Strekker in there where he belongs, Executive producer Joe Strecker,
and coming up at seven oh five beginning of the

(01:02):
guests on the morning show, Alex Chreantefilo. We'll be talking about, well,
the post election post mortem. Got Trump, you got Bernie Marinham,
you got the Supreme Court here in Ohio. You've got
no unissue one. That's all good. And then, of course,
since he was formerly chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party,
we're gonna have to address what the hell's going on

(01:24):
here in Hamilton County. And I'm still blown away by that.
It's you know, fine, everybody's got some issues in terms
of the election. The left is boohooing and sobbing and
crying and having break nervous breakdowns and need their safe
space and their legos to play with whatever man. We've

(01:45):
also got our concerns here in Hamilton Counties. A lot
of people talking about that yesterday listening to lunch. Oh
by the way, thanks to Ron's were his great time.
Yesterday's quite a few people never seen before the first
listener to launch, a lot of friendly faces and familiar faces,
and everyone was in a very celebratory mood, which just
so nice considering I had no idea what it was

(02:07):
going to wake up to yesterday morning, and uh well
do wine. Also, we're gonna be talking about that with
Alex trance Field, who in the Hell's dowine going to
a point for their replacement for jd Vance and a
lot of people are coming out of the woodwork to
talk about that. We're gonna hear about that from Alex

(02:28):
Trantherfield again at seven oh five Donovan and Neo Americans
for Prosperity and you got to thank AFP and AFP
Action and I will thank every single one of the
listeners who took up the challenge and donated a little
bit of their time or a lot of their time
to go door knocking. I had some folks that listened
to lunch yesterday talking about how many doors they knocked on.
It's like, yeah, that's great. Every little bit counts. They're

(02:50):
given that guy in Pennsylvania tremendous credit for getting the
Amish out to vote, and a by the bunch of
other folks who otherwise might not have even gone out
to vote for Well. Moving Pennsylvania over to the Red
so afp action here in Ohio was just really, really
profoundly important in doing that. I'm anxious to find out
if Donovan ended up meeting the goal of one million

(03:13):
doors knocked. Of course, you can give him a lot
of credit for Bernie Marino's election here in the state
of Ohio. So that was great. Donovan will be well
doing a victory lab at seven thirty year in the
Morning show. I'm really looking forward to eight oh five.
I do dearly love Steve Gooden coming on the program
talking about matters legal and quite you know, I've been

(03:34):
out of practice for now. This is my eighteenth year
in radio, so I haven't been in a courtroom in
that long. Thankfully. I guess if I was in a courtroom,
it will be because I was on trial or involved
in some sort of civil or criminal litigation. And I
don't want to be involved in either of those, although
I do keep my license up. Steve Gooden comes on

(03:54):
the program and gives a very thorough and thoughtful analysis
about certain cases that are going on. What's going to
happen to the president? Trump lawsuits, got a little bit
of information about that. We could talk about it in advance.
It looks like they're not going to go really anywhere,
which would be the right thing to do. Some people
are saying that's justice denied. He needs to be tried.

(04:17):
But Steve Gooden and his legal analysis at eight o five.
And finally it's Thursday slash Friday Eve Jay Ratliff joins
the program every Thursday at eight thirty our iHeartMedia aviation expert.
Trump elected and the airline stocks soared. Wait a minute,
for all the wrong reasons. MTSB releasing there's six hundred

(04:38):
page report on Alaska Airlines, the door plug flight. Six
hundred page report on a door plug flight. Anyhow, hub delays.
We'll also get to that. Maybe a couple other topics
like the stock market going through the roof. And you
know what the reason for that, It's because Trump won

(05:02):
the popular vote. In addition to the electoral college stability,
no law fair related to the election and the aftermath
of the election. Actually, yesterday I was a little worried
about the Senate or the House makeup because a lot
of them hadn't been called yet, and I think even
as of this morning, some of them haven't been called,

(05:22):
but they're leaning Republican. Republicans already have control of the House.
It's just a question of maybe a few more seats
and whether they have a greater control or where it
is right now. But I was a little worried because
they hadn't crossed that majority threshold at some point yesterday
and I thought, you know, some of these races, if
you looked at the counts, they were within less of

(05:46):
one percent between the Democratic candidate and the Republican candidate.
And I thought, oh lord, here we go. There's going
to be Shenanigans and people are going to be, you know,
accused of turning in ballots laid There'll be litigation over
ballots and weren't countered. And I'm not saying that's not
going to happen. But because Trump won so overwhelmingly and

(06:10):
again by more than four million people in the popular vote,
what are you going to go out and protest? And
that's an important thing to contemplate if you are in
a world where the political landscape isn't fully revealed to you, like,
for example, that most of Americans don't want guys in

(06:33):
women's locker rooms. Most Americans believe in economy with lower
taxes and the lower regulation, the idea of pursuing all
energy sources because it's good for America and American's economy,
freedom's liberties, you know, the whole thing. The Trump campaign
ran on a secure border. If you're of the mind

(06:57):
and you know police departments and being port of law enforcement.
But if you surrounded yourself in this echo chamber and
everyone around you is saying that no, America doesn't want that.
They're all on the side of us, on the left
hand side of the ledger. They're all in favor of
this big government control, micromanagement, open borders, blah blah blah

(07:19):
blah blah. Then you start to believe it, and you
know you'll be on the street protesting something like that,
and screaming and occupying and wailing and gnashing your teeth
and accusing you of being a racist, homophobe, bigot, go
on down the entire list of insults they were casting it, folks,
and you wake up to the reality that you were wrong,

(07:44):
that America doesn't feel that way, that America does have
some concerns about its future and its direction, and you
find yourself on the losing side of that that political discussion.
That we aren't fascists, that we aren't racist, that we
aren't xenophobes or homophobes, We're just interested in our own

(08:06):
best interest, in the interest of all Americans, which is
the campaign that Trump ran. In spite of what everyone
was saying he was or saying or interpreting his words.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
He was.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Really quite open and came across as the populous guy
that you know, people elected him to be. Now we'll
see if he delivers. But you wake up the next
day and yeah, you want to, you know, get yourself
in a fetal position, and oh my god, well that's
because everything everyone had been telling you, your left wing media,

(08:45):
your college professors, your your websites that focus only on
woke ideology and woke principles, the idea that you know,
every single American is so much in favor of guys
being a women's bathrooms that anybody who says anything to
the contrary is transphobic. That's what you've been told, and

(09:06):
that's what you believed that where America was. You wake
up and find out no, huge swaths of Black Americans,
most notably black men and Hispanic folks, who are perceived
by the left is to be lockstep and with a
Democrat party massive quantities of Jewish folks. Trump broke forty

(09:30):
percent barrier with the Jewish vote in New York forty
six rather forty six percent in New York the Jewish vote.
You know, the Democrats always talk about being black folks
being you know, lockstep Democrats. Same thing kind for the
Jewish vote. I mean, I've got a lot of Jewish friends.
I always joke with them about that. What is with you, guys,

(09:51):
I can always voted for Democrats is your best interest.
But look what Trump did. He wrote it a massive
chunk of support from the Jewish vote in New York City,
of all places in New York State. The when you
reflect on this and you wake up the next day.
And I'm not saying there won't be protests or problems.
I do believe there will be organized protests among the

(10:14):
illegal immigrants who are in this country because now they
face the risk of deportation. And I see apparently as
they're expecting a huge influx or at least rush for
the border now between now and January when Trump gets
sworn in, seeing the window of opportunity and the door
being closed, that's to be expected. But I think if

(10:37):
there any protests or concerns on the street, it's primarily
going to be come from those who are probably going
to be facing deportation. But beyond that, you're screaming or
protesting in the face of what amounts to be a
bipartisan shift over to not Donald Trump, the man, Donald Trump,

(11:00):
the principles and the campaign upon which he ran, which
again more populist, looking after the interests of the American people.
Look at all the blue collar workers, look at all
the union folks. He's fighting against the green agenda because
it undermines so many people's jobs and livelihoods. It's fueled

(11:22):
purely upon government handouts to hand selected companies and individuals.
Tax incentives, fuel and fund this so called green revolution
that many people like me are skeptical about. So Russian
out in the streets, I think reveals you for the
fool and so you're probably not going to be doing that,

(11:44):
given that the vast majority of Americans obviously came down
on the different side of the political ledger. They believe
in the police, they believe in law and order, they
believe in a secure border, they believe in perhaps spending less.
And that's why I'm hopeful for Elon Musk and I'm
hopeful Rfk Junior steps in, and I'm hopeful that we

(12:05):
hear one day. Agriculture Secretary Thomas Massey. I came home
yesterday after listener lunch. He said Thomas Massey's name has
been floated for agricultural secretary, and I said, really, that
would be awesome. So immediately texted Congressman Massey and Mary,
his assistant, and I also posted it on Facebook. Let's

(12:26):
make this happen. Secretary of Agriculture, Thomas Massey, will hang on,
brid just looked up, saw you on the phone. Will
hold on. I'll take your call in just a second.
It's five seventeen right now, fifty five care see de
Talk station Fred sans Nam, here's your Channel nine first
warning weather forecasts. Got mostly cloudy start of the day,

(12:46):
It'll be partly cloudy later on seventy for the high.
A few clouds over night, down to sixty one. Tomorrow,
mostly sunny day with the highest sixty four over night
forty two with partly cloude sky. As it says, I'm
mostly sunny on Saturday. It's like showers at night, but
we have a high sixty three during the day. All right, now,

(13:10):
my disappearing temperature fifty seven degrees fifty five K City
Talk station. That is five twenty one five on three
seven four nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred and
eighty two three taco with nine five fifty. Hey, well,
thanks for holding over the break. It's good to hear
back from me. Welcome to the program. How you doing there, Brian,
I'm doing pretty good this college.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
To congratulate y'all, y'all victory, because I'm a man, and
we're not going to go tear up to the Capitol
because we lost. But another thing, But another thing. We
know who I know my grandfather was right, and my
father was right. Eighty nine percent of the white man.
Sixty five percent of the Latinos and sixty five percent

(13:51):
of the white women voted for this man. Eighty over
eighty percent of total combined black people voted for this woman.
Not because because we all believe in everything that they
believe in, like some of the stuff you just mentioned,
you know, not because of that, because we know how
evil and wrong this man was, and he called people

(14:12):
trash and garbage. I go to Springfield to fish, I
got friends up there. I do a lot, and I
know how many lives these people told. But it shows
as long as you white in this America, because if
you know this, I don't use the word white, but
now I am. I'm going to my people. I'm getting out.
I'm getting away from this totally.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
All of them get in what way, will well?

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Because I know we were betrayed, you fighting a war
with another army.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
And because almost ninety.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
Percent of total white men voted so and you're telling
me that all of those those were Democrats too, everybody,
every white man, every white woman, every Latino man. That's
what they wanted.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Y'ave got what I wanted.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
And like the brothers we all been talking, it was
a total buying effort with the black people. So I
give my people props for that, for us coming and
trying to come together and just trying to weather the storm.
But now y'all done put us behind the gun. Lately,
y'all have dehumanized us with names, and I'm not letting
it slide. Y'all all going to jail, and that's what

(15:23):
you're gonna do. All of u's gonna be on the
street because y'all will put this monster in the White House.
So you know, I'm just letting you know. I'm a
good man. I'm an HVACT technician and electrician. I fished
a lot of people's heat and furnaces for free because
they were short on money, whatever. But all them days
is gone with me now, all them days because that's

(15:45):
what my daddy and my granddaddy did not last because
they were second class citizens when they were born. And
now I see what they saw. Just as long as
you a white man with tyranny. They are not doing
what's right, these white people. So y'all go ahead, celebrate
your victory, but we're not gonna cheer up the capitol.
We're gonna act like black and strong men and women

(16:07):
and lived through this, like y'all took our grandfathers and
the Tulsa all of that, all of it killing young
black people because they spoke to a white woman, or
this thing that happened up here to Blady delivering the
package that blowed the white by this old white man.
The brother down there in Florida shot for walking in
the door with his gun. I've been watching all the murders,

(16:29):
so y'all go ahead, so Trump can partner all these
police that do and all this undervalue on our property. Everything.
Y'all are so of the harblest people in the world.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
And my grandfather told me that.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
But I tried to work with y'all, and y'all still
get is wrong. So that's all of y'all at me.
That's just not one. That's just not Republicans.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
That's all of y'all.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
I don't know what my people are gonna do, because
when y'all want y'all racism, y'all gonna have it. And
like y'all, like he said, he called a black woman
in garbage, he called he lied about eating dogs and cats,
and I'm glad so I look like a Haitien until
you hear me talk.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (17:10):
So there you go.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
Now, y'all have a nice day, and I will never
call your show we did because I never I never, ever, ever,
And it ain't the fact that the Democrats lost.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
We were portrayed.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
That's what's bad about it.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Well, isn't it possible that the betray I mean a
lot of people are looking for the reasons why the
Democrats performed so poorly. Don't you feel like your party
betrayed you with maybe selecting Tomlin Harris?

Speaker 5 (17:34):
I do, I do, I do, I do. I'm not
saying Kamala should have been the one. We should have
got the guy from California. Now that the governor or whatever.
I wrote the letter to Trump to let him know
because we're trying to figure out how we can move
to California. We're getting hell out of the way at
state study. I'm sorry, that's upset.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I am very upset. Well, and I wish you were, yeah, because.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
We were portrayed. It was run with these white Democrats
and they voted and the women they just had a
black go down there and let it down.

Speaker 8 (18:04):
Because you couldn't get prenatal help.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
But that's okay, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Can I ask you It's one thing considering, you know,
I just want to look at you. You're you're a contractor.
Did you do I mean I quite seriously about this
and be objective. Did you suffer or struggle or did
you do poorly under the Trump administration? I mean, were
you struggling with your business or did you do all right?
I'm just wondering.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
There's certain areas I won't go to because there's certain
people to live in those areas, y'all base, the Nazis
that he about to let out of the Federal Preententiary,
the Nazis, and certain neighborhoods I will not go to.
I mainly service the neighborhoods of mine.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You know what I mean? Did your business do okay?
Whether you choose to go in any neighborhood or not.
I'm wondering how you did economically under the Trump administration?

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Oh I did poorly?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
What before I got a job I lost?

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I had?

Speaker 5 (18:52):
I was I was a company man for me saying
I didn't like I worked for a company which is
falling right now, and I do you more. It's Christians.
I was the maintenance man for them for twenty seven years.
Twenty seven years I worked for that company.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Twenty seven years I had.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
And they brought a smart businessman in there and bought
that too.

Speaker 9 (19:13):
Yeah, well you know they bought that too.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
He was just one.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
No, no, let me send it and be for me
saying I didn't like Trump out in Eaton, Ohio when
they were having a Trump riley in the dining room
talking about black people, and I said something about it.
I lost my job, So there you go.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah that's right, Yeah, that's right. We can all be
maybe critical about the Frish's business model. And I obviously
wasn't there. I don't know the circumstances job.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
There twenty seven years. You want me to seeing you
a picture of my awards.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Plaques that I got to see them, No, I believing.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
To see them. So you know, ain't nobody gonna tell
me about nothing no more? Because I know black people
are by their self. Y'all America, This America has spoken
to me. The last time I'm going to visit all
my forefather's graves.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Talk to the chill.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
We don't have our family meetings. So you know, you people,
y'all have y'all America, but we ain't going nowhere nowhere,
And I don't know what the black people are gonna do,
but we cannot depend on any other race, any other
race to do right, y'all put a man in there.
I had to not hire a boy one time because

(20:22):
you had too many felonies.

Speaker 8 (20:24):
But you could be the president.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Oh that's why all that was fabricated against him. How
do I know how many brothers? Oh, my god, it
is so much I can do. I can go with here.
I'm just gonna let it go, Let it go and
raise my family because you know, because this is probably
gonna affect me because I gave y'all too much, so
people are gonna know me no, you know, because I

(20:46):
don't like your ways and you're not gonna change my mind. Well,
like I say, my father and my grandfather were second
class citizens when they were born. I'll probably be one
one I got. So y'all have a nice day and
you take it easy. And like I say, congratulations on
your America, because we know we ain't part of this
country and y'all proved it to us. And believe me,

(21:08):
I am coming out of the dark of the shot
because I ain't no fella, and I never been in jail,
and my father, my whole family, and believe me, my
mama's side of the family. The name is known, which
I will not mention, but believe me, I am going
to make sure people understand what happened with this. We
were portrayed by all white people, all of them, all
of them and the Latino and didn't know because we're

(21:31):
like I say, it's okay to call my race garbage.
Y'all have a night.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Well, the garbage comment came from President Biden against Trump supporters.
It didn't come from Donald Trump against any particular group
of people. And you know, I hear your anger. Well
I don't quite understand it, but you know, here's what
I'm going to say. And you can't paint me with

(21:55):
the broadbrush because I hope everyone prospers. I don't know
what's going to happen to the Trump presidency. I know
we lived through four years before. There wasn't anarchy necessarily
except from Antifa. But the economy did well. Black unemployment
was at the most historic lows that this country has
ever seen. He dedicated a lot of time and energy.

(22:18):
Historically black colleges got the benefit he had these community
prosper zones that helped benefit the black communities that had
been overlooked by countless administrations. So you know, I hear
the anger in your voice. I don't. I mean, I'm
not in a position to understand it, given that I
didn't grow up as a black man or share your history.
But honestly, I'm willing to step back and say, you

(22:41):
know what, I hope will that you end up and
your business does and prospers and thrives, and that Donald
Trump's administration allows that to happen. Whether you like the
guy or not, I'm hoping it works out well for you.
And I'm sorry you're so angry. And I'm sorry you're
not going to be listening in the morning shore anymore,

(23:01):
because I always welcome to your point of view. Will anyhow,
hang in there, brother, I really really hope things settle
down for you, it all works out. But then again,
that's what I feel for the entire country. Five thirty
one fifty five Care see the talk station. Mark's on
the line. Mark, hang on a minute. I'll get your
call in just a moment. Here it is your nine

care See Talk station. Let's go straight to the phones.
Mark's been on holiday. Mark welcome in the morning, showing
a very happy Friday Eve to you.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Good morning, Brian. I want to respond to Will there.
I feel sorry for that guy because he obviously is
a closed minded individual that is in an ego chamber.
I'm sure he didn't have a problem with the white
vote that put Barack Obama into office two times, and
how the black vote historically has always overwhelmingly gone for

(24:20):
a Democrat, whoever it was run. And when you look
at the Trump support, especially this election, it was probably
one of the most diverse groups of people that voted
for him, and you could see that in his rallies
and everything else, this whole Nazi thing. I hadn't been

(24:41):
in a lot of neighborhoods throughout this city and actually
the tri State, and I've never really ever come across
any Nazis. Maybe they hide. I just don't understand the
demonization that these people are willing to buy into. And
I listened some clips from yesterday on the TV of

(25:05):
the you know, the same old people that are responding
the you know, Joy Behars and the Goldberg and Nancy
Pelosi and and this this mantra that they keep hammering,
and these people that buy this stuff and listen to
it and believe it. I mean, what does he think
is going to happen after January? I mean, are you

(25:29):
kidding me? I mean, we weathered eight years of Barack Obama,
and I can guarantee you when he first came on
the scene, I was like, finally some fresh blood, you know,
a younger guy that's going to run for office. But
it didn't take me long to dive into his his
ideology and understand that he was going to be a
disaster for this country, which he was. We're still paying

(25:52):
the damage that he created in the healthcare industry, and
the health insurance industry not to mention this whole green thing,
and on and on and on. I could go on
for hours about this. But this guy's going to sit
here and rant and rave on radio about how we
betrayed him. And I got news for him. The Democrats

(26:15):
have betrayed a lot of people, not just one race.
The Democrats have betrayed They've betrayed this country. And you
have a group of people that are wanting to put
this country back to where government's smaller, the power is
back to the states and some issues. And this guy

(26:35):
is going to lose his mind and act like all
of a sudden, I don't know what he's thinking, and
you're gonna move to California. Good luck with that, go.
I mean, I worked with a diverse group of people.
And I sat down yesterday while I was having my
oil changes my truck at a local shop here and

(26:55):
a fella came in, black guy, and we were both
tired because we had both stayed up watch an election
of the election results, and we struck up a conversation
and he says, you know what, he goes, I'm so
glad that Donald Trump got elected, he said, because when
Donald Trump was in office. I did better, he said,
I had more money in my pocket. Yeah, the grocery

(27:17):
store was cheaper. He says, Kamala wasn't ready. And he
said because she's not a smart individual. That came out
of his mouth and.

Speaker 8 (27:25):
He said, you, she'll never be ready.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I mean, so this guy just wow, Well, he get
out of your echo chamber and understand that that's not
that's not even remotely close to reality.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
And you know what I understand Will's emotion. Politics is
filled with emotion. I mean you can see it in
full view on all of the you know, far left
wing newscasts yesterday, and people you know, struggling and trying
to cope with the reality of Donald Trump after you know,
years and years and years of the drum beat that

(28:02):
he's just a terrible, terrible, terrible human being. And I'll
acknowledge the man isn't perfect. I'll acknowledge the man has
said some things that I'd find personally offensive. But that's
why I was hoping that Will might reflect on the
four years when Donald Trump was president. The world didn't end.
People were locked up in concentration camps. There weren't firing squads,
you know, concentration camps. He got to look to the

(28:23):
FDR administration for that. You know, the internment of the
Japanese population merely because they were old Japanese, probably one
of the most racist events in the nation's history after slavery.
But that I was hoping that maybe he might reflect
that his business at least didn't die or it was prosperous.
Then I'm not familiar enough with Will's background. I really
knew anything about it. I just found out he worked

(28:44):
for Frishes for the first time. So, but you know,
his anger can be understood if you look through the
lens of left wing politics. But I personally don't believe
that left wing politics benefits any particular class of human beings.
It is dictatorial control and it merely results in, you know,
large groups of people being hooked up to an ambilical

(29:07):
court of government and then be incapable of getting away
from that. My hope is that all people, by freeing
up the economy and smalling and reducing the size of government,
benefits everyone, as it seems to do when the economy
is rolling along and percolating quite nicely. So anyhow, just
sadding about Will's anger and help the settles down and

(29:29):
maybe continues to listen to the morning show down the road.
We can have further conversations. Feel free to call five

launch yesterday. Ron threws a wonderful time. I love the food,
and I loved having a cocktail, and and I beat cribbage. Mike.
That makes what my third victory over the past two years. Mike, Hell,
it's what Mississippi James has to say. Hey, Mississippi James,

(31:11):
great scene Union Bride at listener lunch yesterday. It was
always a pleasure. And I understand you're getting ready to
roll back down south before the wintertime.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yes, sir, I am. And this morning I'm calling in
with the two parts. Okay, I get to wheel on
the soucond part, but the first part. The guy we
sat at a table with yesterday, he was a history
teacher out of Kentucky, and I was revealing to him
some of my experience in Mississippi. You know, I was
born in the year fifty seven, so were teenagers through

(31:43):
the sixties. And we talked and the man had so
much knowledge and we just resonate in jail so well.
And you know, he even paid for lunch. Oh wow, man,
last night last night I was got to thinking I
would love to continue to talk to him. He said
he was an early morning listener to your show. He

(32:04):
never called. That was his first lunch. And I would
love to put out an appeal if he could contact me,
you know, leave a number with Joe or whatever, just
to make that connection. And I would love to continue
to comosate with him. But when I thought about it
last night, I said, we did not exchange numbers.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Ah, that's a shame, but I'm glad you made a
nice connection. And you know what, that's one of the
things that I've learned at listener lunches. You know, it's
an inviting place. You just sit down with really anybody
that shows up, and you're gonna have a nice experience.
You aren't necessarily agree with everybody, but you're gonna be
welcomed and you're gonna have a nice conversation. Nobody's gonna

(32:42):
be breathing down your neck or screaming at your yelling
at you. So I'm so happy that that happened to you, James.
And if you're out there, history teacher, email just Trecker
and give me your email address. We'll see if we
can't hook you up with Mississippi James. Go ahead, Misissippi James.
I know you're not done, okay.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
And when I learned that the United States of America
is one of the greatest experience that ever happened coming
out of the American Civil War, or not Civil War,
but the Revolution. And you know, they wanted they came
up with the three branches of government to keep kings

(33:21):
out and to be for the peoples. And that's been
a good experience. And it's a pendulum that do swing
and when it swing to your advantage or you're so happy,
but when it swings away from you, you ready to
tear the whole system down. So you got to learn
how to be balanced and take the bitter with the sweet.

(33:43):
You know, it's not always going to be one way.
It's like you had two callers. The one was talking
about Trump and the other was talking about Obama. Okay,
I'm in the middle of both of them. You realize politics, Yeah,
it controls your life, but it's a man and made
entity and it's gonna be manipulated. And that's what you know.

(34:05):
The different Party is about getting stuff to the advantage
and sometime that penning them swing away from you sometime
and swinging towards you. So you have to be stable
in your life and understand your spirituality and to find
that common ground that we can you know, keep going, yes,

(34:27):
because it's bigger than us. It's bigger than us, you know,
as you look at the universe, we like a grain
of sand on the beach as a metaphor, I like the.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
You true, that's so true. You know, well I always
appreciate that pendulum point. And you've made that quite a
few times over the years you've been calling up, and
that is so true. We've had very I mean, go
back to Woodrow Wilson, far alive. You go to the
far right, the rightest of right. You can figure out it.
I don't know, pick your poison in terms of who's
been the most conservative, but you know, we've we've had

(34:57):
all kinds, and the nation has survived, it's evolved, it's
largely in for the most part, gotten better. And I
am certain that Will's grandfather struggled mightily under Jim Crow
and Mississippi. James, you probably remember a lot of that
too when you grew up in Mississippi as a young man.
We got past that, thank god. We you know, this
set the stage for a beautiful, you know, expanding role

(35:19):
for every human being in this country. That's why I
personally believe in freedom and liberty. I don't want a
government taking away my freedoms and my rights. And that's
how we all live, thrive, and survive. But regardless of
whatever happens, regardless of who's president, we're going to have
to deal with it. It's like Monday, Monday, Brian James always says,
and you know that Nathan and Ed used to say before,

(35:40):
the market tends to deal with whatever it's served. Conservative administration,
a restrictive, you know, left administration, regulatory, deregulatory. The market
always manages to roll with the punches and deal with
the pendulum swings that James is talking about, Mississippi. James,
if we don't speak before you head down the road.

(36:01):
I wish you and you're a better half, the safest
of travels. And you know you can always feel free
to call in from Mississippi because I got a big
kick out of hearing from folks calling him from out
of state and awesome seeing yesterday. I'm glad you made friends.
It's five forty eight. We'll see if we can't figure
out who that was and hook you guys back up again.
Five forty eight, fifty five K site talk station and
Peter Shabrie Kellowimsom Hills. He's a great real estate agent

(36:24):
and he has the number one real estate team in Cincinnati.
And that's a good reason. Peter, I think, has gone
out and cherry picked every best agent out there to
join his team. And you're gonna get a wonderful five
star experience when you're working with a Schubrin group of
Kelowiams seven Hills. They offer programs nobody's offering. I get
a kick out of the love it or leave it
if they're your buyer's agent, and you can be a

(36:44):
buyer's or seller's agent, but if they're you a buyer's agent,
you get you in a house. You seem to be
happy with it, but if anytime during the first year
you don't like it, you're like, wait a second, I
made a mistake. Why am I here? They'll sell it
for you for free, this sort of little backed up guarantee.
Right now, I can't imagine that would happen. Because being
a team that gives you great value, they're gonna keep

(37:06):
you out of problems that you might have. When you're
looking at a given house, they see things that you
might not see. They can point out things that you
might not understand or be thinking about, so you know,
buyers agents are great to have them there. And of
course as a seller's agent, they're going to maximize the
return on your home. They know exactly what you need
to do get to get the most money when you're
selling your house. Find them online, go to seven zero

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Five ifty three, straight to the phone. He's got a
couple of callers online and see we can't can both end? Jim,
you're first, welcome to the show. Thanks for calling.

Speaker 12 (38:38):
Yeah, I just want to talk about Trump. You know,
nobody likes Trump as far as a moral but let's
look at it at the Bible way. What did God
use use David? And David was an adulterous Killberschief Moses
was a killer. And I really believe this country's got

(39:01):
more people of faith.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
In it than anybody in the world.

Speaker 12 (39:04):
And that's why we've been blessed. And here's the deal.
I think when he almost got shot in Butler, I
don't care what anybody says, that was a God take.
And if God wants you in there, there's nothing you
can do. And I really believe.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
That that's his mission.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Nobody likes him, nobody.

Speaker 12 (39:24):
Likes his morals, but when he was in there, his
policy has worked, and I do feel safer.

Speaker 8 (39:32):
Harris.

Speaker 12 (39:32):
I don't think was strong enough to deal with Putin.

Speaker 7 (39:36):
Oh, he's going to go talk to Prudin's.

Speaker 12 (39:37):
You have to be friends with your enemies. What are
you going to let him do? You got to go
to China and talk to the guy in China and Iran?

Speaker 5 (39:46):
What happened?

Speaker 12 (39:47):
They settled down when Trump got in there. I think
I feel safer with Trump than Harris.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Okay, And we are all filled with feelings and emotions today,
and I'm the kind of guy's going to sit back
and find out what happen happens. I don't know what
Trump's going to do over the next four years. I
don't know who's going to have in his cabinet. I
can hope, I can pray. I can believe God has
something to do with it, or I can believe that
God lets us steer our own path and learn from
our mistakes, or choose not to learn from them, as

(40:16):
the case may be. I do know Kamala Harris didn't
run on anything other than Trump was an evil, awful,
vile human being, Nazi, fascist, etc. Joe Biden helped the
Kamala Harris campaign by calling half of America and actually
even more than half, garbage. So you know, a lot
of anger and ask animosity. So but I'm the first

(40:38):
person to today. I'm not going to speculate what is
going to happen. I can be hopeful that what is
going to happen is going to go more of the
direction I want, which is freedom, liberty, small government, and
maybe a more fiscally responsible government. That's all I'm hoping for.
A country that can sustain its own spending, a country
that can defend itself, a country that maybe perhaps won't

(40:58):
be engaged in so many global conflicts. That's what I
hope for. I don't know what we're going to get,
but knowing that Donald Trump ran on specific policies, knowing
that he is promising has promised to do certain things
assuming he can, like shutting the border down like he
has previously done. I take more comfort in that than

(41:21):
a Kamala Harris campaign, which ran on dodging what she
used to believe in and run on and simply waging
a warfare of name calling against the Trump administration, as
justified as some of those names may have been, given
that Donald Trump is not the perfect human being that
many think he might be. So fingers crossed, folks, let's

(41:41):
try to be positive across the board. Five fifty six,
coming up on fifty seven, Hank, I'm sorry I didn't
have time to get your call, but we will get it.
If you want to hang around, we'll be right back.
There we go again, another news updates. We're going to
get all the facts.

Speaker 13 (41:54):
An ear full of information.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
At the top of the hour, I'm going to break
it down fast. Fifty five cars the talk station. You're
about it.

Speaker 14 (42:02):
Understand the ignorance tick on the.

Speaker 7 (42:04):
Campuses, talk about it.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
They're just getting away with all this.

Speaker 11 (42:07):
Rather than know in fact.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Fifty five krc It is six h five here, fifty
five KRCV talks to me. I'm a happy Friday eve
to get one hour from now. I'm gonna looking forward
to having Alex Trant to feel on head of the
Ohio Republican Party talk about the positives from the election
the bad like well, at least from my political perspective,

(42:30):
Hamilton County, I don't know what the hell's going on here.
At least I became, most notably with Melissa Powers. I
don't care what political stripe you are. You compare the
record of Connie Pilloch in her background to what Melissa
Powers accomplished in her background. There's really no choice in
that matter. Connie Pilics seems to be demonstrably unqualified for
the job. So I'm not quite sure which direction is

(42:52):
Hamilton County is going. But we'll get Alex's reaction to
that and the other races and got Dwine trying to
figure out who is going to take over jad Vans's seat.
There are so many people standing at the dable perhaps
asking for that job. Vive Gramaswami is one of them. Yeah,

(43:14):
I don't mind that suggestion at all. Jane Timkin Matt Dolan,
Frank LeRose, Dave Yost, Attorney General Dave Yost, among others,
Robert Sprague, David Joyce or Dave Joyce, Mike Carey, and
those are the names at least have been floated. I

(43:35):
saw there was a report from WCPO and they had
actually talked to Governor DeWine and some of the other
folks on the list. We'll see what Alex has to
say about that one as well, doing a post election recap.
Thanks to Donald and Neil and everbody in Americans for Prosperity,
as well as all the listeners and folks who donated
their time to do some door knock on behalf of
Bernie Marino. Donovan's going to join the program and do

(43:56):
a post mortem recap. That'll be at seven thirty. Steve
in our legal expert, putting me aside, he is certainly
an expert. I certainly don't consider myself to be one
Trumps president. Now what happens to the lawsuits? And finally
I are a media aviation expert. Jay Ratliff joins the
show at eight thirty. Airline stocks apparently went through the roof,

(44:16):
along with literally every other stock on the planet Wall
Street looking forward to positive news in terms of the future.
We got US stocks rows at least in terms of
capitalization yesterday one point six y two trillion dollars. That
was the fifth best one day showing ever. And regardless

(44:42):
of what political stripe you are, that should be room
for celebration right there. If you are invested in the market,
if you have a four to one k, if you
are looking out for your future and trying to put
some money away and enjoy the time value of money
and the idea of compounding interest, yesterday was a good
day to be invested in the market. And so if
all those businesses do really well, it's going to raise

(45:04):
all shed You know that chips raised with the tide,
and everyone should benefit from that. I don't believe in
the whole idea of viewing it is trickled down economics.
Beyond that, Jay Ratliffe on airline stocks. And then we
got the NTSB releasing their six hundred page report on
the door plug blowout flight. What the hell happened there?
Jayl will enlighten us.

Speaker 7 (45:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
The other thing about this, of course, beyond evading her
prior record, Kamala Harrison ran very very very very hard,
as did most Democrats on the idea of women's rights
and abortion. Of course, that was generating a lot of
activity on the part of Democrats feeling that somehow, in
some way there would be a federal abortion ban under

(45:47):
a Trump administration. I know Kamala Harris at one point
probably said she would promise a federal enshrining of abortion,
which in neither case could that possibly happen under the
Dobbs decision. How many times do I have to say it,
but look at what happened on Tuesday. Apparently Republicans no

(46:09):
threat to women's asserting their right to an abortion. Look
across the board, with the exception of Florida. Now let's
start with Arizona. For example, Arizona went Trump fifty two
to Harris's forty six. Arizona also passed Proposition one thirty nine.
It provides a right to an abortion in the state
before the point of fetal viability. It passed sixty one

(46:32):
to thirty eight. That means a lot of Trump supporters,
voters for Trump went and voted for the right to
an abortion. Moving over to Colorado. Now, Colorado, of course
went Harris fifty four to forty three substantially, but a
lot of folks voted for the right to an abortion.
It went sixty one to thirty eight. Again, a lot

(46:53):
of Trump supporters were in there voting for this right.
That one created a right to an abortion in the
state constitution, allowing use of public funds for an abortion
as well. Pasted again by large majority, sixty one to
thirty eight. Maryland, of course a blue state, not shocking.
Now they have the right to an abortion as well.

(47:14):
It passed seventy four to about twenty six. That one
establishes the right to reproductive freedom. Defines define to include quote,
the ability to make and effectuate decisions to prevent, continue,
or end one's own pregnancy. Meaning I think that's pretty
much an unlimited right to an abortion. So months one

(47:34):
through nine, at least as I interpreted the boiled down language,
over to Missouri. See I was trying to find Missouri.
I'm a map here right to an abortion. It passed
fifty one to forty eight. Right to reproductive freedom defined
as the right to make and carry out decisions about
all matters relating to reproductive healthcare, including prenatal care, childbirth,

(47:58):
postpartum care, control, abortion, miscarriage care and respectful birthing conditions,
whatever that's supposed to mean. It sounds like unlimited access.
Missouri's got it. Montana, passed fifty seven to forty two,
provides the right to make and carry out decisions about
one's own pregnancy, including the right to an abortion. Nebraska.

(48:24):
Let's see, I'm trying to find it. I've like got
my map up here. Nebraska right to an Abortion establishes
the right to abortion until fetal viability. That one, let's see,
still a question mark, at least on mine was. It
was kind of neck and neck with a few more
percentage points against. I'm sorry, it was ninety four percent

(48:45):
of the expected votes at the time I pronted up
the information, so I can't definitively state which is where
that one went over in Nebraska. Nebraska that went sixty
percent Trump to thirty eight and a half percent. Harris.
The Abortion Amendment, which said of prohibits abortions after the
first trimester unless necessitated by a medical emergency or the

(49:09):
pregnancy as a result of sexual assault or incests. So
it's exceptions after the first trimester. That passed fifty five
to forty four in Nevada provides a state constitutional right
to an abortion, provided for the state regular to regulate
abortion after fetal viability, except where medically indicated to protect

(49:30):
the life or health of the pregnant patient. That passed
sixty three to thirty six percent. New York, of course,
had passed, no one would expect anything different sixty one
point I'm about sixty two percent to thirty eight establishes
that people cannot be denied the right based on their ethnicity,
national origin, age or disability, sex including sexual orientation, gender identity,

(49:53):
jenner expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare, and autonomy,
a whole slow of rights. In that amendment passed fully
South Dakota, they had the right to an abortion, and
that one did not pass state constitution right to an
abortion in South Dakota using a trimester framework, that's where

(50:14):
they attempted to enshrine Roe v. Wade by way of legislation.
Fifty nine percent said no, forty percent said yes on that.
So I guess the draw The takeaway on that, at
least for me, is you have a lot of states
that went full on Trump and then when it came

(50:34):
down to the issue of abortion, people made their own choices,
and even voters for Trump went and enshrined that with
a couple notable exceptions. So yeah, just that was the
issue that the Harris campaign ran on primarily. And you see,
since the state's issue, no one in federal government can
take it away from you, No Trump figure and no

(50:57):
federal authority can say no, no, no, no, no, or wrong.
That's those days are over, and when the battle is
waged within the states, you can see the outcome. As
I've been pointing out for a long time, wherever you
are on the issue of abortion, the polling typically reflects
exactly what you saw on Tuesday in these various ballot initiatives.

(51:17):
Let's see what Jay's got this morning. Jay, thanks for
calling the Morning Show and a very happy Thursday slash Friday.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Eve Hey, good morning, Brian.

Speaker 8 (51:25):
Hey.

Speaker 15 (51:26):
The question I would have and I'm not telling you
how to do your job.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
Who am I? But if I had some time with
Alex Tranpapala.

Speaker 15 (51:35):
I'd be asking him, can we not get somebody to
back fill jd Vance, somebody who's proven, like a Jim
Jordan or a Warren Davidson. Why do we have to
go back to these retread candidates like Matt Dolan, Jane Timkin.
We have already seen these candidates. We have already soundly

(51:56):
rejected them we as Ohio voters, and if they install
them in office, then we are doing We as Republicans
are being inflicted with the same tactics that the Democrat
Party had when they were inflicted with Kamala Harris. Somebody
who couldn't get voted, couldn't get in on her own,

(52:17):
was soundly rejected, And we're going to let some party
boss like Mike DeWine pick somebody who's his buddy and
put them in office, a person who couldn't get elected
on their own. So thereby silencing the voice of the
Ohio voters and amplifying the voice of the Rhino up
there in the Governor's office who is there at the

(52:39):
will and because of the influence and power and money
of the Ohio Republican Party that back the Wine during
the primary versus Jim Rinecy.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
So why not give one of these.

Speaker 15 (52:49):
Guys Warren Davidson or Jim Jordan if they want the job,
assuming they want a job, But why wouldn't we.

Speaker 5 (52:55):
Offer it up to them first?

Speaker 15 (52:57):
People that are you know, have a high approval level,
well proven year over year.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Why wouldn't we go there first? Would be what I
would ask Alex Tranthafila.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Well, okay, and we are going to have that. I
am going to have that conversation with him when he's
showing the program coming up after this top of the
Earn News. But it's DeWine's decision, and you know Dwine,
I know Diwine. I think figured the Wine's going to
do whatever the hell Diwine wants, regardless of what good
counsel he might get in his ear But I like
vv Gramma Swimming. He's on the list, and why not

(53:28):
Vivike Gramma Swimming give him a shot.

Speaker 15 (53:30):
Here's the problem I have with viveg was that love
everything he says, every word of it. But then I
found out that he took Soros money, like two hundred
thousand bucks when he was one for his masters, and
he said, all I did, that's true, but I was broke.
I was a poor college kid. They went back and
researchers didn't say, you had a couple million dollars in

(53:53):
the bank when you took that two hundred thousand dollars.
So first of all, you took Soros money.

Speaker 5 (53:58):
If you would have just.

Speaker 15 (53:59):
Admitted it, that's one thing, but then you lie about it.

Speaker 5 (54:02):
I don't know if I can trust you.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
I don't recall that. But honestly, you know, the fool
is the one that's not looking out for his own
best interests. And even if I had two million in
the bank, if some idiot like Sorous is willing to
hand me two hundred grand, that doesn't make me a
Soros political supporter. It doesn't turn me into a left winger.
I don't think you can describe Viva Gramma Swimmy as
a left winger. Or if he did take the money,

(54:25):
and I won't argue the point, it didn't have any
way of transforming him politically. So that would be George
Soros wasting his money by supporting Viva Gramma Swimmy's educational
career so he could go out and fight against what
Sourus is all about.

Speaker 5 (54:40):
So or or scenario two is he has compromised that
he did.

Speaker 8 (54:44):
He did, but he will do George Soros's backing.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
He's well, okay, you're you're entitled to the concern. That
doesn't concern me. I can't out with ste Vic I'd

(55:13):
I'm sorry, I got to kick out of that Affordable
Imaging Services. I got my CTU two CT scans, sorry,
the one before the last one I got. I went
to affordable imaging services. That's what I'm telling you to do,
because I saved heat loads of money. A hospital imaging
department costs it just thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars,
and that money's going to come out of your pocket

(55:35):
on some level insurance or no, you're usually responsible for
a sizable chunk of it. So why would you pay
the hospital imaging department even a fraction of a five
thousand dollars CT scan or eleven thousand dollars as the case.
Maybe when you can go to affordable imaging services and
get a CT scan for as low as four hundred
and fifty dollars, which includes the board certified radiologist report.

(55:59):
Every scan is going to need a radiologist report. Whether
you go to the hospital imaging department or not. Affordable
imaging services includes the scan or the report in the
price of the image. Echo cardigrams could cost you a
couple grand at a hospital, four hundred and ninety five
bucks at affordable ultrasound average costs more than two thousand
dollars at the hospital two hundred and fifty bucks at

(56:22):
affordable imaging services. Yes, the overhead is extremely low, but
they have the same equipment that the hospitals are using.
They've been at this more than forty years. And my
own personal experience with affordable imaging, my doctor got the image,
got the report, totally happy with it. I didn't get
any criticism or like, no, this isn't good or no
it worked. I save a lot of money. I'm happy

(56:43):
about it. Five one three seven, five three eight thousand.
You can go where you want. It's your medical care,
so consider saving heatloads of money. Five one three seven,

I will ask him about JD Vance's replacements on the
topics the conversation. He knows the topic is coming. We'll

(58:47):
see what he has to say about that. And as
the VV last caller, uh I just got an email.
Uh VV came out to an Eminem song, so I
think that shows a glimpse into his character. Can't trust
an Eminem fan. And it was followed by a very
loud the big smiley face with the squinty eye. So

(59:08):
I don't know what I guess. I just want to
know which song was it? Was it Purple Pills by
any chance, in which case he may have a point

draw conclusions about me based on my musical taste, and
you can feel free to do that. I don't know
if it necessarily is the right thing to do. I'm

on record, if I had to get rid of the
bands that I love based on their politics, I probably
would have to get rid of half of my my
favorite music selections. Well, I'll tell you what, though, if
you've got pain and you're tired of living with pain,
chronic pain, thee pain, joint pain. I remember my dad

Here's a Sean Hannity Morning Minute. I can tell you this.

Speaker 16 (01:01:16):
If you go back to where we were four years
ago in terms of the real clear politics average national average,
Joe Biden was up seven point five percent. Today, Donald
Trump is up zero point four percent. That is a
seven point nine percent swing. Biden was up three point
two percent. In the battlegrounds, a number has been going
down and Donald Trump is now up one point zero

(01:01:39):
That is a swing of four point two percentage points,
which is massive in the political world. Does that manifest
itself into voting No, Anecdotally, I can make a case
both ways. Twenty twenty two is supposed to be a
red wave year that never materialized. If you don't want
another disappointment or an expectation not met, then you have

(01:02:00):

a few callers online, beginning in the order in which
they received, meaning Pete, you're up first, Pete, welcome to
the show, and happy Friday Eve.

Speaker 7 (01:04:25):
Thanks Brian boy, you sure had some interesting callers this morning.
I wanted to jump back to Will. I'm really sorry
that he is so bitter and so upset about what's
going on, but he's I think he's really missing far.
He didn't understand that the Democratic Party has been the

(01:04:45):
party of segregation. That slavery, as horrific as it is,
was prolific all around the world and still is to
some extent. But the United States was the first country
on Earth to outlaws slavery. And I think it's like
one hundred and sixty some thousand white people died to

(01:05:06):
free the slaves and Donald Trump is the only living
president or former president whose ancestors didn't own slaves. And like,
right now there's a bunch of black podcasters that are
really informative and really are starting to get it, and

(01:05:27):
I mean there's so much I think it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Will would go back and.

Speaker 7 (01:05:33):
Find out the truth. He might be able to have
a better perspective on what's going on. Yeah, and feel
bad that he's so upset.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
Yeah, I was. I'm still feeling bad that he was
so upset about it, because you know, he obviously is
a Democrat, and he's called before and he expressed, you know,
opposition and disagreement with some of the points that I'm
making and expressed his own I haven't had Will's life experience.
I don't know what he has gone through in his life.
And it may be that he has been surrounded by
people who are If I could use an FCC non

(01:06:03):
compliant word right here, I would, but we'll just say
outright jerks, racists, for example. He may have had experiences
with people like that. Maybe he was surrounded by a
bunch of outright races, people who hated him merely because
he was a black man. I don't know, but I am.
You know, I'm old enough and I've been around the

(01:06:24):
block enough to know that not everybody's like that. I
don't know anyone who even holds that position. Black, white,
you know, my friends of different ethnicities and races and creeds.
I don't know a single human being who feels that
way about someone based on the color of their skin.
I know people who hate, for example, a black person

(01:06:47):
because they're a jerk, or they hate a white person
because their experience with them draws them to the conclusion
that they're a jerk and they don't want to hang
out with them anymore. Hates a hard word, but y'all know,
it just depends. It's like the content of character, boiled
down thing. Someone who hates you merely because or despises
you merely because the color of your skin, there's your

(01:07:07):
outright racist. Thankfully, in my experience, in my life, I
haven't run into that many of them, and in my
modern sense and this day and age it's twenty twenty four,
don't know a single one, And I don't personally believe
our society is culturally racist. He has a different conclusion
about that, But then again, that's the drum beat from

(01:07:30):
the left. They want to perpetuate that myth. I think
it's a myth. He doesn't, But I don't believe the
country is racist. And you can note the progress throughout
our country's history more and more moving to freedom, liberty,
welcoming everybody into the tenth that is America to enjoy
these freedoms and liberties that only we enjoy. So yeah,

(01:07:52):
it was disappointing, But you know, he's entitled to his opinion,
and of course I hope he analyzes it and thinks
about it in a thoughtful way. Who knows, said he
won't listen to the show anymore. Patrick, you're next, Welcome
to the show. Thanks for indulging me while I got
that out of my system. Patrick.

Speaker 18 (01:08:12):
Oh, hey, Brian, Sorry, I didn't hear the phone click
on here, so I apologize about that. Sorry, Hey, I
just had some post election political humor. So when I
started looking at the election results, I decided to invest
in the airlines because of I knew all the liberals

(01:08:33):
who were going to be leaving the country when Donald
Trump got elected. So would that be considered insider trading
or knowledge?

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
No, that's like conspiracy theory. You're just a pattern observer,
so you know everybody was in. Everybody had access to
that information. Patrick, you just exercise your option to trade
on it. That's funny because Jay Ratliffe will be talking
about airline stocks, which apparently like apparently across the board,

(01:09:03):
everything else is jump through the roof yesterday. So I'll
wait around for Jay rat if on that topic. Get

They service a variety of different units and they are

that have been at air conditioning and if you need

Six point forty Here I fifty about KRSD talks station
Happy FRIDAYEF I get to the funds. Going back to
Viva grammars me as a possible UH person to replace
jd Vance. I like the guy, and I think he'd
be excellent in that role. One of the callers said, well,
he took Soro's money, which means he's going to own
an obligation. Who said, no, I would take the money

(01:11:45):
if I was in that position. It is going to
change me politically. The money actually was a merit scholarship
that he won, and it came from the polling Daisy
Soros Fellowship for New Americans. Now that was the older
brother of George Soro. Not that his politics are different,
I don't know.

Speaker 19 (01:12:02):
But.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
And yeah, viva grammars from me. Actually was asked about
this and he said basically what I just said. I'd
either had read this before and forgot it, or he
just has the same position that I had. My defense,
that is, if someone gives you a merit scholarship at
the age of twenty four, you take it. You take it. Said.
I didn't say I didn't have the money. He said,

(01:12:27):
at a time when I had a lot less money
than now, fifty thousand dollars was still useful. Amen. The
fool is the one who's not looking out for his
own best interest to say they sen, I'm doing okay,
my wife's doing okay, and we've been preparing for our
future for a long time. But honestly, if you want
to hand me over a scholarship, Brian Thomas right here
saying I'll take it, I don't care if you're a

(01:12:48):
far left winger, if you expect that money to buy
me off and turn me into one you're the fool
in that situation. Ip Be welcome to the show. Well,
it's good to have you back on. Bobby.

Speaker 20 (01:13:03):
Hey, my brother, I didn't know. I didn't hear the clique, faith, flag,
family and firearms, My brother, when you've got those who
always have freedom, I guarantee you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
That that's for sure. What's on your mind today.

Speaker 20 (01:13:15):
Well, people have to understand we're in the midst of
a cultural revolution.

Speaker 5 (01:13:21):
You and uncle change the ideology of people.

Speaker 20 (01:13:24):
Look at the Ada, Calip counties in Ohio, for example,
Cincinnati blood red, that's what they are. They're blood red,
but they're blue in colored.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Oh you mean common red as in the old way
of referring to communists.

Speaker 20 (01:13:41):
Well, sure, Marxist communists, socialists, any way you want to
put it. They're anarchists. But anybody in that area who
do you think went ahead sent Melissa Powers to the
curb and put Greg landsm and mister Lilli Marshamallo who
in there in the first congressional district. It wasn't people
in the outlying areas. It was Cincinnati. So they had

(01:14:03):
nobody to blame but themselves on all their issues and
all their problems. And I don't know why anybody would
support them.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Tell me why, well, I mean, from my little l
libertarian perspective, I have no idea why someone would support
a person like Greg Lansman. From my attorney litigation standpoint perspective,
I have no idea why someone would even consider Connie
Pillach on the left or right hand side, considering she's
got zero experience for the job. I mean, she's not

(01:14:32):
even qualified for the job. It just comes down to
party politics, brother, you know, and houseman, Well, what.

Speaker 20 (01:14:39):
Was that appeasement? Everybody wants to be you know, I'll
reach across the aisle and all that be hug and
all this other stuff. It's not going to work. It's
not going to work. People didn't understand the difference between
a friend and a foe, and an adversary and an enemy.
It's coming down to this eventually, people need to go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Wake up. Well, uninformed people would break off into that argument, Bobby,
and there are a lot of uninformed people who might
you know, break off and believe in that argument. I
just wish people were more informed on candidates' qualifications for
the job, that they are more informed on specifics of
policy positions. You know, Greg Lansman had a record that

(01:15:24):
he could run on or run away from, as the
case may be. I think Orlando Sonza was certainly a
better option given his background, his qualification CPA prosecutor eminently
qualified for the role, and of course Connie Pillag's zero
experience for the job at all. Missile powers eminently qualified

(01:15:45):
and miss of power is not overly political. She just
ran the prosecutor's office as an office to fight crime,
to prosecute people who had committed crime. That's what they're
supposed to do, not necessarily supposed to go out and
engage in political rallies all the time. And I don't
know that she's the type of person that did that.
Did she enjoy a Republican endorsement? Yes, did she attend

(01:16:07):
Republican events in an effort to get real or to
get elected. Of course she did because she was endorsed
by the Republican Party and she was running against someone
again and didn't have the qualifications. And if you sat
everybody down in Hamilton County and showed them the record
and pointed out the disparity and the distinction between the two,
and if you were able just for a moment to
look at matters objectively and vote based upon who you

(01:16:31):
thought was going to do a better job. Then we'd
be in a different position right now, Melissa Powers would
have been elected. This is not people don't don't have
people don't dedicate enough time to that type of research.
I'm just thoroughly convinced of that, and I get it.
I mean, I sit in front of listen and read
all of this stuff all day long, talk about a

(01:16:54):
four hours on the radio, go home and spend about
four plus hours, you know, preparing for tomorrow's show, Get
up two hours in front of show and learn even
more and read even more in advance of the show.
So I'm surrounded by this all the time, so I'm
always paying attention. But that does not mean I expect
the rest of the world to. But if they did,
I think the outcome would be different. Six forty six

(01:17:14):
fifty five KCD talk station. Steve and Micro on the phone,
problems to take your calls in just a minute. I
first one to mention cover sincey because you be like Jeff,
my listener friend. Jeff takes my advice all the time,
which I certainly appreciate. And he took my advice and
called Cover sincey now he is the owner of a business.
He's got a small business, and he decided to take
me up on the challenge just get in touch with

(01:17:35):
Cover since he and find out if there's a better way.
And the better way led him to an improvement of
his company's bottom line by more than fifty thousand dollars
and his employees being happier about the better medical coverage
that they are getting for less money. Now, it sounds
like an impossible scenario. I recognize that and acknowledge it
all the time. But I've been working with John Rowman

(01:17:57):
and the team from Cover since he and speaking on
their behalf for a while time, and I know that
this kind of thing happens every single day. There is
no open enrollment when you're working with Covers. Since you
call them up, you say, help me out here, is
there anything you can do better for me? And since
they work with more than two hundred insurance companies and
have access to thousands of insurance plans, they can put
together a package of coverage that'll get your dollar one

(01:18:19):
coverage that'll be less money across the board, better medical
insurance experience, saving yourself money. You'll be very happy and
the worst. The best thing you can maybe you can
have it, is that there's nothing that can be done.
You're in the best possible place, and they'll tell you that,
and that won't cost you a dime. There's no obligation.

recap for the nation and the state. Let's see what
Mike Scott to say. Mike, thanks for calling this morning. Steve,
hang on to get your call next. Hi, Brian, real quick.

Speaker 21 (01:20:11):
Donald Trump went in the presidency yesterday thirty announced it
tots in the down jams uh big cooins at record
highest seventy four thousand dollars. He just got elected and
then happened. And I don't even want to imagine if
Kamala Harris would have won, what would have happened.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Well, I think in some I don't I mean, listen,
you know, I don't play a stock market analyst on radio,
and I certainly don't report to be one, but some
of the points, and that's what was a predicate for
some of my comments this morning. The market surge was
as a consequence of how overwhelming the victory was. There

(01:20:52):
was no question marks, There was not going to be
any lawfare, There isn't going to be any dangling Chad litigation.
It went on rug on for weeks and weeks, which
throws in market uncertainty. I think if Kamala Harris had
won overwhelmingly, the market, like it always does, will react
accordingly and can deal with whatever political party is in office.

(01:21:13):
We hear about that all the time with money Monday,
and they have been for years. So the markets, it's
capable of adjusting to any administration and you can still
make money, even probably not as much in a left
wing administration. But I think they expect regulations to be reduced. Obviously,
the idea of drilling and pursuing our natural resources is

(01:21:35):
going to be more open and probably more likely now
maybe the price of energy will go down accordingly, which
will lower business expenses for everybody. There's a whole multitude
of reasons for why the market would have gone up
when you think about what might be under a Trump
presidency or a Trump administration. But when you take out
the uncertainty part, when you know that there's not going

(01:21:58):
to be this drawn out, you know concern that is
certainly going to give people a lot of sense of
security and optimism as well. So don't discount that component
of it. Steve, Thanks for holding there, and welcome to
the Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (01:22:12):
Yes, sir, good morning. Haven't talked to you in a
couple of weeks. I am three years older than you.
I retired in April at sixty two and immediately started
working part time, so three days a week I work,
getting up very early in the morning, so I did
not check, but I didn't stay up watching the election returns.
I woke up in the morning like you and checked it.

(01:22:35):
I expected the usual slap in the face because most
of the times I'm disappointed with the election results. I
was very happy with what I saw. I like what
Mississippi James said, the pendulum back and forth. Life is
too short. If he had lost, life goes on. I'm
not going to get angry about it. Yeah, one life
to live, enjoy it. But what I did yesterday because

(01:22:57):
I was off yesterday. I actually had the race and
I was flipping around on the TV and I don't
watch a lot of news on TV. And I'll make
this real quick. I know we're getting close to the break,
but I watched a little bit of Fox, a little
bit of CNN, a little bit of MSNBC. They're not
the problem you have too far right, too far left.

(01:23:20):
CNN's not as bad as I thought they were going
to be. I mean, they're you know, they're leaning left,
but they're kind of middle of the road. But I
was watching. The problem is news is on twenty four
hours a day and people watch it all day. That's
the problem with all of them. But the funniest thing
on CNN is that you've heard you don't need a
weatherman to know which way the wind blows from Bob Dylan. Well,

(01:23:43):
sometimes if it's raining outside, you don't need the weather man.
Just look outside the window. But they had a map
of the United States, and I mean, this is an
over generalization, but the New England states on the east
coast are blue. Everything's red except Illinois. And then you've
got you know, the west coast states are blue. Everything

(01:24:04):
else is red, and they're trying to figure out what happened,
and it's like, is it possible the Democrat party is
out of touch with the working class and we've become
a party of the coastal elites.

Speaker 13 (01:24:19):
And they were like, well, no, I don't how I
just turn around behind you, look at the map. Yes,
the answer is right behind you. The answer is yes.
And somehow you don't connect with working class people. It
doesn't matter what color they are. But you know, it's
it's basic stuff. People want to be able to afford things.

(01:24:40):
They don't want fifteen million people coming into the country
because then we've all got we've got the same number
of doctors and teachers.

Speaker 6 (01:24:47):
So that's a problem. So it's like, just some common sense.
But enjoy your day. Life is short, enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:53):
I appreciate that point very much, Steve. And the other
thing is, you know, the many, many minorities excuse me again,
who went over in spite of you know, holding their
nose type of vote, went over and supported Trump, including
many within the Hispanic community, did so because their neighborhoods

(01:25:18):
were being ruined and overwhelmed resources soaked up by illegal immigrants.
In the unchecked a flow of immigrants across the southern border,
and you only have the Biden Harris administration to blame
for that. Why would you want to reward that? Hold
your nose. Vote for Donald Trump, and maybe we'll get

(01:25:39):
the border secure in my neighborhood. We'll have the resources
that used to have before the fifty thousand people showed up,
you know, increasing the population of any given neighborhood by
you know, doubling. So yeah, there's that. And then I
firmly believe they did themselves no favors with the woke ideology.
I don't know a single human being who really cares
one way or another whether you're gay or straight or anything.

(01:26:01):
But when it comes to men being in the women's
locker rooms and men, you know, boxing women or competing
in women's sports, it just isn't It's a bridge too far.
And they embrace that completely and called you names if
you didn't embrace it yourself. That's not a winning strategy.
Six fifty seven, Ox strout to fuel after the top

(01:26:21):
of the our News. I hope you can stick around when.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
You want to know, when you need to know, when
you have to know, you can be in the know
right here.

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
On fifty five KRS the Talk station.

Speaker 4 (01:26:34):
This reap.

Speaker 16 (01:26:35):
Every American deserves to have their voice heard.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
Your voice was heard, is your voice hear?

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
Here's what I'm thinking he needs to do right away?

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
What do you think? I think we can finally start
to turn things around for New Years talking about the future.
Fifty five KRC the Talk Station. It's seven oh six

(01:27:10):
here fifty five KRC Detalk Station. A very very happy
Friday eve to you, extra special day with a recap
on the election, generally speaking, Welcome back to the fifty
five KRCE Morning Show. It's also a pleasure to have
him on the show. Head of the Ohio Republican Party,
Alex Triantafilo. Alex, welcome back, my friend, Brian.

Speaker 8 (01:27:30):
Always good to be with you, especially post election, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
Yeah, and I'm glad we can be in at least
a celebratory mood on a national scale and a statewide scale,
not so much in Hamilton County. We'll get to that later,
but let's talk about Ohio to start with. Of course,
obviously Trump just way ahead in Ohio in terms of
the number of votes, but Bernie Marina got him in
office thanks to the hard work for a lot of
folks including door knockers, Americans for Prosperity, and riding the

(01:27:57):
co tales of a successful Trump presidency, no question about it.

Speaker 8 (01:28:02):
Look, briand we had a banner night in Ohio, and
you know, I have been in charge of the Ohio
Republican Party for nearly two years, and I know what
happened here in my hometown. But you know, I cannot
not just thank Ohioans really, and really at Hamilton County
in southwest Ohio plays a big role in delivering a
lot of votes for big, big wins across the board.
So what we do sometimes is Republican does not stop

(01:28:26):
and evaluate our own success. We had a wildly successful
night across the state of Ohio on the Tuesday, and
we're thrilled Bernie Marino being first among that list.

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
I mean, we many have tried.

Speaker 8 (01:28:38):
To take out Sharon Brown. We've had a campaign after
campaign in my life really since the mid two thousands
to try to take out a career far left wing Democrat,
and finally the Ohio Republican Party in Bernie Marino was
successful and getting that done. So we're wildly happy and

(01:28:59):
you know, just very very proud of Bernie. Bernie is
an extraordinary candidate. I said it to you many times
and your listeners. I've set it across Ohio as a
campaigned with Bernie on his bus and everywhere. This is
a special guy, Brian.

Speaker 5 (01:29:12):
He really is.

Speaker 8 (01:29:13):
He's wildly intelligent, he is hard working, his heart is
in the right place. He's got a business background. He'll
be a strong conservative voice for our values in DC.
So I couldn't be more happy with the win, the
Bernie Marino victory over forever politician Shared brown Man.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
I'm certainly glad that Kamala Harris ran as dismal a
campaign as she did, because you know, coattails are very,
very important, and Kamala Harris just didn't bring an a game.
I don't know that she was capable of it, but
I don't know how you can get elected a higher
office by just running a campaign based upon simply calling
your opponent names.

Speaker 8 (01:29:54):
Yeah, that was a frustration I had throughout this campaign,
and really it's a frustration I have today in modern
American po politics. Look, Brian, Donald Trump ran a campaign
of ideas, and again, the pundits in the press will
never say that because they hate him so much. But
when Donald Trump just for instance, does build a wall.
He's talking about an issue immigration. He's telling you I

(01:30:16):
want to steal the southern border with a physical wall.
Now he simplifies it in that way. When Donald Trump
says drill, baby, drill, he says, I want to produce
more American energy to make the cost of goods stuper Brian.
Those are policy proposals. Let's have a good state are discussion.
If you're a Democrat and you think that a wall
doesn't work, let's at least debate that instead. The Democrats said,

(01:30:40):
he's a Nazi, he's a threat to democracy, he's a
bad human being. Well guess what. He just won one
of the most outstanding victories really in the history of
modern American politics. He stands poison to win the popular vote,
something we do not see because states like California New
York end up seeing low Republican turnout because they know
they can't win those states.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
In the electoral college.

Speaker 8 (01:31:00):
So you know, we're about to have one of the
great victories in modern American politics. Because the Democrats refused
to talk about issues. So Kamala Harris was a bad
Tannic because she kept playing the same Democratic playbook, which
is to demonize one human being rather than discuss the
kitchen table issues that Americans care about the most. America

(01:31:20):
has dealt with a shrinking middle class, higher prices for everything,
a southern border that makes it feel like we barely
have a country left. So you know we have for
that reason. You know, we have Donald Trump going back
to the White House. You know we're gonna have a
Senate majority. I'm crossing my fingers. We have a House majority.
And in Ohio, you know, we again had big wins

(01:31:41):
for state Supreme Court and especially on Issue one, which
you may ask about. But yeah, film good today as Republicans.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
Well, it looks like we already got the House based
upon the polling I've seen this more of the numbers
I've seen this morning, at least in terms of who
they've declared the winners. So I think it's across the
board sweep. See here. Yeah, I do want to gravitate
over to Issue one because I'm real quick. On the
Democrats side of the ledger, I get the impression that,

(01:32:10):
you know, while a lot of Democrats and a lot
of traditional Democrats, did you know whether they or not
they held their nose or actually embraced Trump. They voted
for him, which is unusual. Large chunks of the Black population,
large chunks of the Jewish population, large chunks of the
Hispanic population. I got the impression, and I think the
numbers tell a tale. A lot of Democrats just sat

(01:32:32):
it out. They didn't show up. They weren't convinced Kamalo
was the right person for the job. But they didn't
mean they were going to go out and vote for Trump.

Speaker 8 (01:32:40):
Yeah, I mean, the Democrats definitely have a turnout problem.
And you know, I have a party leader. You know,
I'm not going to be a candidate ever in my life.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
I will tell you that.

Speaker 8 (01:32:48):
As a party leader, I know that turning out your
vote is the number one obligation of the political parties.
And you know, our machine was just better. Our machine
is better, certainly better at Ohio, better even at him
the county. Believe or not that we're just outnumbered there
by people who believe otherwise. But you know, the turnout
machine by the Republicans is just far superior. And you know,

(01:33:08):
Kamala Harris energized no one. You know, she was a
bad candidate in their primary for president, which is why
she never really faced the Democratic voters. And then by time,
they you know, kind of fixed the process for her
to be the nominee without you know, a single Democrat
casting a vote in the primary. There was just no
energy there. And you know, again on Kamala, we know this, Brian.

(01:33:29):
I mean, everybody talked about one of the reasons Biden
held on as long as he did is because they
knew they just didn't have a good candidate. And look,
I'm not into bashing candids after they lose, but Kamala
Harris is a far left wing liberal. She's not in
the mainstream of American politics. So you know, it was
a mismatch from the beginning, and Democrats just weren't excited
about her.

Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
Well, and the other change in this election and it
was a radical shift from the traditional norms. Republicans got
out early and voted. They negated the normal advantage Democrats
have when they walk into the polling place.

Speaker 8 (01:34:00):
This is on election day, one more time part of
the operator in the machine. I mean, I you know, again,
my my Hamilton County would rather knew this when I
was here.

Speaker 1 (01:34:08):
And then I went to Ohio and I walked into a.

Speaker 8 (01:34:10):
Room full of Ohio as a Republican activist Brian and
I say it's okay, and the room responds to vote
that way. I mean, it became a little bit although
a little hokey, a little corny, it works in politics.
But you know, I went around Ohio and we've said
it's okay to vote that way and mean to get out.

Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
And vote early.

Speaker 8 (01:34:26):
We were blown away by the early vote numbers. Now,
to be fair, a lot of those early voters were
going to be with us anyway. By locking them in
and turning them out early. You know, it's all part
of the job of the Republican machine, the of the
you know, of the operator class of which I am
a part of, and that is to turn people out.

Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
And we were thrilled.

Speaker 8 (01:34:45):
To see that early vote and to see Republicans embrace it. It
worked for us.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
It certainly did, and I appreciate your efforts in that
regard and appreciate everybody who got out and voted early.
Now moving over to Issue one, I really thought I
would wake up in the morning and see that issue won.
It actually passed, given the millions and millions of out
of state and foreign money to float into the state
to try to convince us that that was the right
thing to do, enshrining jerrymandering in a group of unelected officials.

(01:35:10):
Lo and behold that didn't work. That was amazing.

Speaker 8 (01:35:15):
You know, I put us on my social media, on
my Facebook this morning because I'm just sharing of a
lot of our party faithful. This is maybe the most
rewarding win of my time in politics. And it's not
my win. It's a win for the Republicans, led really
by Bob Paducciic, my predecessor, and by a lot of
people in the state House. We were a big part
of it, the Ohio GOP. But again it was a

(01:35:36):
team effort.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
Brian.

Speaker 8 (01:35:37):
I actually sent a message to my executive director about
twenty minutes ago, and I might have used the explictis,
but I said we won by eight I hadn't really
looked ultimately at the result because you know, it was
a very late night Tuesday. I'm trying to get over
some kind of a head cold thing here. But anyway,
I didn't really closely look. I knew we won, but
we won that by eight percentage points. Issue one, here's

(01:35:58):
why you just at it once Ohioan's understood it. The
far left believes that Americans are stupid.

Speaker 5 (01:36:06):
They just do it.

Speaker 8 (01:36:06):
They think that they can just pass things by the
American people and they're not paying attention. Once people got involved,
they realized this was not citizens led. This was forty
million dollars an out of state left wing special interest
dollars pouring into Ohio. They got a former you know,
former justice of the Supreme Court Frankly to be a
bit of a stooge for that. Yeah, say, oh, this

(01:36:28):
is citizen led. It not. It wasn't anything like that.
This was an effort to strip you, the voter, of
your rights in the process of doing important public business.
Had our press been honest, you would have known about
it sooner. But once Ohioan's understood it, they blew it away.
Winning that issue by eight percentage points was amazing. You know,
I can tell you we did seventy thousand yard signs,

(01:36:50):
bus tours. We had a grassroots effort, kind of unprecedented
for the party. We got our yard signs, then we
had them out in about three days and about eighty
of Ohio's eighty eight counties, so you know, it was
it was a wonderful, wonderful win. It's important for Ohiolands.
You want to be able to elect the people that
do public business. You don't want far left special interest
groups stripping you of your rights. So Issue one was

(01:37:13):
an outstanding result for Ohio. And by the way, Hamilton
County was strong in Issue one. Southwest Ohio was strong
and Issue one, and they continue to play an important
role in what's happening here statewide.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
All right, let's pause weble bring Alex Trounce FeelA back
to talk about Hamilton County. Also, maybe chime in on
the across the board victory of the Supreme Court race

Speaker 1 (01:39:18):
The talk station seven nineteen comed up in seven twenty
Ryan Thomas here with the head of the Ohio Republican Party,
Alex Charnceipila, doing a little analysis city election. Not much
need to be said. I think it's considering pretty much
a clean sweep Republican side on Ohio generally. It doesn't
come as a surprise to me that all three open
Supreme Court seats went Republican.

Speaker 8 (01:39:42):
Well, that's right, and again we were deliberate and selecting
three wonderful canates for those races, two of them from
right here in southwest Ohio. Megan Shannan, you know, perhaps
one of the best judges ever to serve here in
Hamilton County, now elevated to the state's highest court, My
good and dear friend, Justice Joe Leaders, who's the longest
serving prosecutor in Hamilton County history. And then there's a

(01:40:03):
great guy named Dan Hawkins who's a judge up in
Franklin County in Columbus, who is a former prosecutor as well.
You're very briefly on those guys. We selected guys with
prosecute guys and women in Megan Chanta and with prosecutorial
experience going you know, going into the the to the bench.
And you know, again you and I are lawyers, and
we know there's a significant side of that part of

(01:40:24):
that work that's civil in nature. But when the general
public looks at their judges, they want judges to keep
them safe. And we knew politically that we had judges
and had a history of trying to keep you in
our community safe and that was going to work. So
we had three great candidates, all three one pretty comfortably statewide.
All three worked very very hard. So you get excited

(01:40:44):
about big wins fur three justices, and that makes our court,
by the way, here in Ohio fix Republicans to only
one Democrats. So again the Republican Party continues to.

Speaker 5 (01:40:54):
Dominate in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
Well, and I know you set me up intentionally with
the comment prosecutorial experience. As we pivot over to Hamilton County,
where a demonstrably unqualified person is now the ham or
will now be the Hamlin County prosecutor.

Speaker 8 (01:41:09):
Yeah, that's that you know again, Jennifer, my wife and
I were in Columbus, have been largely out of the
region for most of the month. We you know, we
were watching with one eye, you know, back home, because
Hamilin County certainly matters, I know, to your listeners and
to people in southwest Ohio, and this race matters. It's
a reality that, you know, the bigger urban centers continue

(01:41:32):
to be a challenge for Republicans once you get outside
of Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, of course, you know, it's
much safer, better, cleaner schools, or better everything is about,
you know, better where Republicans are. But the fact of
the matter is that was a tough, tough race, and
I'm very proud of my friend Melissa Power. She ran
a strong, strong campaign, Brian, you know, almost two point

(01:41:52):
five million dollars ultimately raised. I mean, for anybody who
knows the inside workings of politics, that's that's just hard work.
That's that's getting people to commit to invest in you.
That's very, very hard. Melissa made this very close. If
you look carefully at the results here in Hamilton County,
no other Republican got really close to winning. You know,
a case with a partisan label on it like that race.

(01:42:15):
No one got that close, and you know, it's a shame,
It's a shame. Most of powers was by far the
better candidate. We've seen this in American politics, you know,
where people just put out their jerseys and qualifications hardly matter,
and that's kind of what happened here. So you know,
that's just a tough one. There's there's no no looking
back on that. Feel terrible for Hamilton County and I
hope to God that you know, the guard rails that

(01:42:38):
we have in place, you know, a good police officers
and you know a few of our good judges will
hold that office accountable and make sure that they're doing
what they're supposed to do, and that is to oppose
publics do to help us keep public order, public safety.
And again worried about that one did not like that
result one bit.

Speaker 1 (01:42:57):
Well, and things change out in California after they experience
their woke view of policing and the judiciary, they obviously
went the opposite direction. I guess I've been saying, well,
last one out, bring the flag, as the Republican Party
kind of written off Hamilton County completely at this JUNC.
Sure are you still going to keep fighting there, Alex, Oh.

Speaker 8 (01:43:18):
God, no, no, you cannot write it off. And there's
something very important for people to know. First of all,
my experience of statewide will tell you that there is
a thriving Republican party in Columbus, and there's a thriving
Republican party in Cleveland, and there is a thriving Republican
party here in Hamilton County. There are races outside of these,
right there are township trustee races. And you know, there
are eight big townships here in Hamilton County that comprise

(01:43:39):
a large segment of the population a lot. And if
you live there del High and Anderson and Green, you
have Republicans governing you there. And that's better. Believe me,
you're better to live in Green Township than you are
in the City of Cincinnati. Your taxes are lower, your
police force is well funded, you've got good school systems.
So those are all Republicans and they governed, and your
Republican Party is very active in those races. Also, Brian,

(01:44:01):
this is important. Hamilton County sent one hundred and sixty
eight thousand votes plus one hundred and sixty eight thousand
votes Q ohioans to elect Donald Trump. Just by by contrast,
Butler County, a great, strong Republican county, sent one hundred
and twelve thousand votes to the state. So Ohio or
Hamilton County will play a key role in keeping Ohio

(01:44:23):
a red red state. So there shouldn't be any thought
that you shutter the doors in the Hamilton County Republican Party.
That's Frankly, that's crazy talk. You must keep a strong
Republican organization in every county in Ohio to help us
continue to win Ohio for Republicans and keep common sense
conservative governance in place around the state. So any idea

(01:44:45):
that one race, you know, look, there's not a Republican
prosecutor in Franklin County. That's Columbus. There's not a Republican
prosecutor in Cleveland, in Tuyahoga County. They continue to do
the important work of electing Republicans, not on these super
high profile races, but all the way across the bard
from Ohio, all the way down to your local townships
to compete in judge ships, state representative races. You know,

(01:45:05):
we've got Mike Odoso and Cindy Abrams. Yeah, Bill Blessing
and other important Republicans here, so by not enough. Should
we stop functioning here at Hanilby County?

Speaker 1 (01:45:15):
Continue to be a cheerleader. That's great. And finally, abso
brief worder, I would expect no less from you, Alex,
and a brief word or two. Dwine's going to have
an opportunity to replace Sadie Vans's seat, and my listeners
are sadly disappointed by the earliest indication, which was going
to be Matt Dolan. There's a bunch of rhinos on
the list. I will call them that. You don't have
to agree with me, because I know how you have

(01:45:36):
to protect across the board of the Republican name. But
is Dwine going to listen to anyone? Will he get
like they do with judges, Central Committee recommendations and consider them.
Will he consider someone perhaps out a little more outside
the box than he is typically inclined to do as
a more moderate Republican Alex, Yeah, this is.

Speaker 8 (01:45:57):
The governor's decision one hundred percent. And you know, I
honestly don't know if he'll convene any kind of a
process that certainly wouldn't include the Central Committee in order
I expect it to. He is statutorally obligated to make
this decision, and he will. So you know, we'll see
what the governor does. Look, I have high confidence in
the governor. You may not share that, but I have
high confidence in the governor to wine. I think he's

(01:46:17):
an intelligent man. I think he's going to carefully weigh
all the considerations.

Speaker 1 (01:46:21):
Here.

Speaker 8 (01:46:22):
Listen, my laying in this and I'll say this publicly,
and I'll say.

Speaker 1 (01:46:25):
It to the governor.

Speaker 8 (01:46:26):
My laying in this is winning Republican seats in Ohio.
And I just want to win that Senate seat. For
whoever gets a.

Speaker 1 (01:50:58):
Seven thirty to fifty five care talk station of course
on the heels Alex Tranfilo giving us the positive spin
on the outcome of the election, which of course we deserve.
We have many, many, many thanks to pass out among
so many hardworking folks out in the front lines that
helped secure that overwhelming victory, including Bernie Marino and what

(01:51:19):
are the guys behind the scenes it was doing all
the coordination and helping facilitate you and me and everyone
else getting to the front doors of folks and interacting.
Welcome back from Americans for prosperity, Donovan and Neil. Congratulations
Donovan on the hard work, and a much appreciation for
my audience.

Speaker 14 (01:51:37):
Brian, thank you and thanks so many of your audience
who helped helped make that all happen.

Speaker 1 (01:51:41):
Much appreciated. Well, I guess the first question because it's
I'm sitting on the edge of my seat when we
know it worked. Whatever number of doors you had knocked on,
you were going to try to get to a million
doors in the state of Ohio over the course of
the run up to the election. Were able to make
it with your AFP action dot com work.

Speaker 14 (01:52:00):
Yes, and in fact, our total we took, we took
a full assessment of all the doors, the dials, the
work that folks put in over two million voter contacts
Wow reached here in the state of Ohio that helps,
you know, us have that impact to make that lift
happen and have the ultimately have that successful result. We

(01:52:22):
were we were all thrilled to see happen Tuesday evening.

Speaker 1 (01:52:27):
Well, certainly appreciate the effort of everyone who did the
door knocking and the hard work. Now what again, I'll
go clearly success. I even say cottails of Donald Trump.
You can say whatever you want, people's disappointment or are
disdain for shared brown whatever, But obviously the interaction worked well,
and I loved how you kept reporting and kept giving

(01:52:47):
my listeners updates on how positive the connection was. Regardless
of whose door you're knocking on that you had good
experiences with the run of the everyday vote, or whether
they were Republicans or Democrats. You never know when you're
gonna knock on a door. But the enthusiasm that you
generated among my audience and me for getting people to

(01:53:08):
do that because of the experience that people were having,
It's like, you mean, I don't have to worry about
being yelled at or getting my head bitten off, And
the answer is no. That was a wonderful message you
got out and I think it was very effective and
it was positive.

Speaker 14 (01:53:24):
Well yeah, you know, I think, you know, folks feel
like the political environment is so heated.

Speaker 1 (01:53:28):
In a lot of ways.

Speaker 14 (01:53:29):
It is, but I think that some of the work
that we do right and having the canvas in con
the conversations we have while canvassing Ohio into Ohio and
vot a voter it actually is, is really refreshing. And
I think for a lot of our volunteers, the folks
who worked with us throughout the cycle, they actually I
think came away with a renewed positivity about the future

(01:53:50):
of our country, right because they realized, Hey, I go
knock on someone's door, you know, blue Ash, talk to
them about what they're concerned about. Oftentimes as we'd hear
about concerns about the economy and talk kind of help
cast a positive vision if they support the candidate that
we're out there supporting in this case, you know, Bernie Moreno, right,
and you know, you begin I think to rebuild some

(01:54:14):
of the divide that we have right now just by.

Speaker 1 (01:54:17):
Having that civil dialogue and.

Speaker 14 (01:54:18):
Interaction after interaction, right, million voter doors that we talk
to right, go to those doors, million doors. You know,
I can only think of one or two scenarios. Brian
I'll be candid about it. One or two scenarios where
I had someone call me and say, hey, uh, that
wasn't a very fun conversation I had, And I say, well, hey, look,
not everyone's going to be great. But you think about that,
right out of all the conversations we've had so much positivity,

(01:54:43):
you might agree to disagree.

Speaker 1 (01:54:44):
In some cases.

Speaker 14 (01:54:45):
Yeah, the never the fire rhetoric or the kinds of
horror stories you might think about. Given how fraud our
political environment is, canvas saying, getting out talking to folks,
it makes a difference. It makes an impact, especially when
you're casting a positive vision like we do through the
work that we accomplished by endorsing candidates like Bernie me

(01:55:06):
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:55:06):
Well, and that's one of the reasons I bring that aspect.
The reality of your interactions with people from across the
political spectrum overall with a couple of Aulliers was generally
positive or at least civil. You can see what that
does because it's real life experience and you have basically

(01:55:28):
what ten percent of the state's population that you talk to.
Illustrates perhaps the narrative that we've been sold online that
there isn't anything with this stark anger yelling division within
the American population is the nonsensical or wrong position or
doesn't really reflect the reality of what's going on in America.

Speaker 14 (01:55:49):
Yeah, I don't think it does reflect what's really going
on in America. I mean, even down to the Monday
afternoon when I was out there talking to voters, there
were a number of folks who were just fed up
with the TV ads, fed up with the mail and
all the other things that they see that are just
filled with negativity. But the conversations were still healthy, the
conversations were still impactful, and they actually I believe Brian

(01:56:12):
made the difference, right, because when you have a human
being and you can look them in the eyes and
I can talk about why I'm supporting Bernie Moreno, and
I can hear from them about the concerns, you know,
this particular voter might have about the future of our country.
We break through the noise, we break through the slick,
sometimes deceptive advertising, and we can actually talk, as Ohioan's
about what we care about. And that's I mean, that's

(01:56:34):
game changing, right, Like you see.

Speaker 1 (01:56:36):
On election Day, it is. And of course afpaction dot
Com is will help help change that game and involved
in all this work. What's good? What goes on from
this point forward? Since the election's over, it's in the bag.
What's what does AFP? And I know you're doing work
throughout the year, and you can always use help in
the form of financial contributions, and I encourage my listeners

(01:56:57):
to do just that AFP Action Dot. But what does
AFP Action do now that the race is over moving
forward this year?

Speaker 14 (01:57:06):
Well, now I go back and we put I put
on that C four hat for a for Americans for
Prosperity Ohio. It's a state director for them, and we
go to Columbus and we start getting work done. In
the lame duck session. There's a lot of really bad
policy and a few pieces of good policy maybe and
come back next week or here in the coming weeks
and talk through.

Speaker 8 (01:57:24):
Some of that.

Speaker 14 (01:57:25):
But we've got that coming up. So you know, legislators
are going to go back to their jobs and what
a what a what a good elected officials like to do,
find creative ways to spend our hard earned tax dollars
to keep We're going to remind them, listen, folks, you
can't paignt on promises of reigning in the spending, cutting taxes,

(01:57:46):
empowering families, uh, getting the cronies out of energy, and
we're going to keep.

Speaker 1 (01:57:51):
Honest on that. So that's that's what's coming up both.

Speaker 14 (01:57:53):
From the State House to the White House and Capitol Hill.
There's a lot of work to be done to now
get the policy enacted, that positivision we talk about at
the doors, get that positive vision enacted, and keep these
folks on us once they're in their position of power.

Speaker 1 (01:58:07):
Well, Americans for prosper to be taking any role in
trying to convince Governor Mike Dwine to put in and
replace jd Vance's seat with someone who actually, uh maybe
reflects more the conservative values of the Republican Party and
keep them away from appointing or rheow. I'm sure we'll
we'll weigh in and have our voice heard there.

Speaker 14 (01:58:27):
Right, We've got so many activists with such an invested
interest in the future of this country that making sure
that we, you know, whoever replace Jade Vance with as
he goes to the White House, we get somebody who
matches our values just like Bernie Marino does. We've got
a great opportunity now with two concept two conservative centers
representing the state of Ohio at the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:58:46):
Does Donovan O'Neill himself not representing anybody but Donovan O'Neill
have a preference for that. I think there are a
lot of good candidates.

Speaker 5 (01:58:55):
I get asked this question a long time read.

Speaker 14 (01:58:57):
I think there's we've got a lot of great public
servants here in the state of Ohio. And look at
Frank Rose, who ran a great primary, or this year,
you've got folks like Lieutenant Governor Houstead. You've got there's
a number of folks right out there who I think
will put there hat in the ring or be considered.
And we've got some good We've got some good opportunities

(01:59:19):
right future ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:59:21):
Sound a lot like Alex Charancefila treading that delicate line
between supporting any of the above on behalf of the
conservative side of the ledger and actually suggesting someone that
you would personally want in the role. I get it done,
and then I'm not going to give you any more
of a hard time on that. I kind of was
hoping VV GRAMDMA Swimming would get the job because I
like that guy. I've talked to him, interviewed him, and

(01:59:42):
he's brilliant. So anyhow, Donald and Neil.

Speaker 14 (01:59:45):
Here he articularly, it's a great vision for the conservative movement.
You've heard him on the you heard him on the
presidential debate stage. I again another we're blast with an
abundance of riches.

Speaker 1 (01:59:57):
Fair enough, Until we talk again, donald' neil, thanks again
for hard work, Thanks for rallying the troops and getting
into the front doors. And congratulations on meeting the goals,
not only just the number of doors, but successfully getting
Bernie Morino elected. Until we talk again, keep up the
great work, Donovan, thanks for everything. Brain My pleasure seven

You get ventilation issues, got carbon monoxide potential. You also

water damage, tuck pointing, maybe the lining's been damaged, or
if you have a wood burner, maybe the lining's cracked
because of a prior chimney fire. You probably wouldn't even
know you had one. Well, that's what an inspection is
all about. And the certified folks the Chimneycare Fireplace has

(02:01:02):
still have been doing this since nineteen eighty eight. They
enjoyed a plus with the Better Business Bureau and they

Seven fifty eighty, talks at five one, seight two three,
Talk Found five fifty on eight and t F on
a Top of the R News, a return of our
legal expert Steve Gooden from Port Right. He is going
to be talking about what happens now with the various
Trump lawsuits, and that a very interesting discussion that should

(02:03:25):
be I love when Steve comes on the program. Brilliant
man is he? Jay Ratliff, I heard media aviation expert,
also brilliant, also hilarious and fun. And I love closing
out the show on a Friday Eve with Jay Ratliff.
I hope you enjoyed as much as I do. We
will hear from him on a variety of topics, including
like every other stock out there, Lord Almighty, the will

(02:03:45):
Pay markets went through the roof yesterday, I think, the
fifth largest game in a single day at the aftermath
of the Trump election, which, as I started out the
morning show observing, I do believe. And I'll skip Jay's
position on this as well, because he's an astute Trader.
I think the jump had a lot to do with
the fact that it is really large. I don't know

(02:04:07):
if there's going to be some contested races out there.
I know some of the House race haven't been called yet,
but it looks right now that the Republicans have locked
in the House as well. Maybe not as big as
a majority as could have been, but still a majority,
but that the popular vote also went Republican by a
very large amount. Now you can cast the blame on
Democrats sitting at home. You can cast the blame on

(02:04:30):
a lot of people that traditionally vote Democrat coming over
the Republican side and ignoring the name calling exercises that
we were going through. Maybe the immigration situation was a
problem for a lot of folks that otherwise normally would
have voted Democrat. But the popular vote. Democrats love to
scream about the popular vote going to the Dems, and

(02:04:51):
of course the electoral college going to the Republicans. We
need to get rid of the electoral college, blah blah
blah blah blah. So with a four million plus popular
vote victory, that takes the wind out of the sales
of the unrest component or largely I'm not saying there
won't be some unrest, but at least removes the uncertainty

(02:05:14):
associated with that. I mean, I go back to two
thousand and think about how long did we argue over
dangling chads and hanging chads?

Speaker 5 (02:05:24):
And what was that?

Speaker 1 (02:05:25):
Joe?

Speaker 7 (02:05:27):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:05:27):
I know, I was just gonna get the rest of
my sentence out before I went to the phones. I
see that he's there. Let's go ahead and get What
does that say, Tyson? Is that Tyson?

Speaker 5 (02:05:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:05:42):
We got it, says pant Tyson. I don't know what
that means, Joe. Anyway, Welcome to the Morning Show. What
is your name again, sir, I'm sorry, no.

Speaker 5 (02:05:50):
Worries, Brian, It's Tyson Butlers.

Speaker 1 (02:05:52):
Okay, great, It's wonderful to have you on the program. Tyson.

Speaker 9 (02:05:55):
I'm sorry for the confusion. Welcome, no worries. I appreciate
you and thanks for getting me on. So I'm I'm
a precinct executive and a ward chair here in Anderson
Township for the Republican Party. Really proud of the efforts
that we had on the grassroots this last cycle, and
still a lot of work to be done. And yesterday

(02:06:16):
I was on my way to work, which I will
tell you I'm a real estate agent, real estate professional,
and the director of revenue for.

Speaker 5 (02:06:23):
The Peter Subret Group.

Speaker 9 (02:06:24):
So thank you again for for always being having our backs.

Speaker 1 (02:06:29):
He's a great guy. I think the world of Peters.
He's the man. He's really awesome.

Speaker 9 (02:06:36):
But I was on my way into work and Chris
Mitherman was speaking about, you know, what things the Republican
Party can change and how that affects, you know, Cincinnati
local politics, and he he did bring up something that
I thought was needed to really be addressed, and I
felt where he might still have an opportunity to learn

(02:06:58):
about what this grassroots coalition is all about, and I
wanted to address that, so I thank you for the opportunity.
He was talking about what President Trump can do in
regards to having less rhetoric, right, being more quote unquote
political and more of a leader in that way, I

(02:07:19):
guess in his eyes. Then he also brought up Nikki Hayley,
which I thought was just really off base, and so
I just wanted to the opportunity to say, look, this
grassroots coalition that's been built is sick and tired of
politicians that have been in office that are sending us
out to endless wars like that is a real thing. Yeah,

(02:07:42):
from the pulse down here on the grassroots, people want
to know that their politicians can get held accountable, and
they also want to know that essentially they'll be left
alone and we can go through on devices and we're
smart and we can get things done at the grassroots level.
I thought that it was an important piece to say

(02:08:03):
fat right there, and I know that's he's your friends,
So I mean no disrespect in this. It's just the
fact that that kind of still shows that he doesn't
quite understand what this is about.

Speaker 1 (02:08:14):
Well, don't read me too much into that specific Nikki
Haley comment that he's going to want to, you know,
go with the neocon war monitoring types. I think the
point was that Trump should at least appear welcoming to
all aspects of the Republican Party, not that he would
embrace them, but to just like getting poor people into

(02:08:34):
the tent more minorities, You're welcome, Let's see what we
can do for you. Let's see if we can't get
jobs for everybody. You know, policies that affect everybody for
the benefit across the board, and you know, maybe have
a positive conversation with Nicki Haley about why it's important
that we don't get into endless wars and and and
and and waste countless lives and billions and billions and

(02:08:54):
billions of dollars. It all makes sense, at least. The
appearance of an open door was across positively across the board.
And I didn't read really anything more into that than
just that very point. But I certainly appreciate what you're saying.

Speaker 9 (02:09:09):
I will say, and I appreciate your point as well.
I will say, just the counter back on that is
that that once again is not the majority thought process
for the people at the ground, and I would, I
would honestly say that there a lot of people are
a lot more well versed in regards to the lies

(02:09:30):
and the policies and the money interests that go into
the neo con class, and they understand what that is,
and they're gonna they're shaking it off with a huge stick.
I can't tell you how many doors we knocked about
that as well.

Speaker 1 (02:09:45):
Understood, understood. And you know, being a weed dweller that
you are, Tyson, you may have your thumb on the
pulse or your finger on the pulse of that attitude
and perception, which may be more pervasive than a lot
of other people perceive it to be. Again a perception
from a ten thousand foot standpoint, when you're not elite
weed dweller. I think it looks good when someone says

(02:10:07):
I've got an open door. That doesn't mean they're going
to go down any particular path, but it just looks good.
It's good politically. Appreciate the conversation. Fifty seven fifty five

in January, but he's got a whole bunch of pending
lawsuits out there. Welcome back, Steve Gooden. It's always great
heaving you on my show. Great being here. Good morning,
Gouten Morgan. Now we got criminal, we got civil, we
got state law claims, we've got federal claims. My understanding
is that the presidential pardon power could eradicate federal claims,

(02:11:44):
but not state claims. But first off, let's just start
with the proposition, can a president pardon himself? I don't
see Joe Biden pardoning Donald Trump. Honestly, it could happen,
but it could happen, But.

Speaker 26 (02:11:58):
In all likelihood, most constitutional scholars degree a president could
pardon himself, but I doubt it's going to come to
that in the federal cases. Now, again we're depending upon
the Justice Department actually abiding by its own internal rules.
But they do have a standing policy that you are
not to prosecute a sitting president. There were some press
reports late yesterday to Jack Smith, who is the special prosecutor,

(02:12:22):
and indeed he's very special, has been.

Speaker 1 (02:12:27):
Bound to be.

Speaker 26 (02:12:28):
It has been instructed to start to wrap up the
District of Columbia and Florida cases, the two big federal
cases against Donald Trump, because of that policy.

Speaker 1 (02:12:39):
But I don't even know that the pardon will.

Speaker 26 (02:12:41):
Matter ultimately, because Trump when he comes into office, absolutely
could fire the special counsel. He can appoint his an
attorney general who can fire him, and I think his
appointments under fire.

Speaker 1 (02:12:52):
Anyway.

Speaker 26 (02:12:52):
It's going up to the US Supreme Court thanks to
Judge Cannon down in Florida questioning whether Jack Smith actually
was properly appointed.

Speaker 1 (02:13:00):
I would actually, as a lawyer.

Speaker 26 (02:13:03):
And as someone who watches these things, I'd love for
Trump to let that play out because it might actually
present prevent future Jack Smith's whom being improperly appointed in
doing these highly politicized lawfair type prosecutions.

Speaker 1 (02:13:15):
But Trump can fire him.

Speaker 26 (02:13:17):
The January sixth case will go away, the Florida case
will go away. There's not even a trial date set
in either one of them. There's nothing meaningful going to
happen before he has sworn in. So either the DOJ,
if they're following their own rules, will fold their tents
up with Jacksmith and go home. If not, Trump can
fire him. Or the third option is he could just
let the appeal play out and let the Supreme Court

(02:13:39):
potentially say that he was improperly appointed, which.

Speaker 1 (02:13:42):
Then they would rule that way. I you too, I
agree completely. Let's pust for one on that, because even
if the court ruled in a way that you and
I don't agree with, that these special prosecutors are okay.
Trump could then fire him if you wanted. That option
doesn't disappear merely because the outcome of the court case.

Speaker 26 (02:14:00):
I think that's correct. I'm knowing a little bit about
how the DOJ thinks and works and what goes on
in these prosecutors officers. My thought would be that they
will fold up and close down the investigation in an
effort to moot the appeal to at least preserve the
idea of future jack Smith's being appointed. I don't think
they want that the Supreme Court to make that definitive

(02:14:23):
ruling either. I think that's a hammer that they think
they have and what they perceive to be government misconduct.
So if I were the DOJ putting, if I were
in the other hat or wearing the Merrick Garland's hat,
I would think about telling Jack Smith close this down,
because and then we'll go to the Supreme Court to
say the issue is moot. There's no need to decide
this to at least preserve that special council kind of concept.

(02:14:47):
But I think the best thing for the general public
would be would be to let.

Speaker 1 (02:14:50):
It go forward and let the court rule. I agree,
because and you can correct me if I'm wrong. But
knowing how the mainstream needy attends to boil things down,
and given their propensity to like Donald Trump and things
that he does, if he exercises the option to fire him,
that rings at his a sort of an air of
Richard Nixon about it in certain ways, and I think

(02:15:12):
parallels might be drawn on that.

Speaker 26 (02:15:15):
Oh absolutely, they would beat him up for months on this,
and I don't think the general public cares. And I
think that's one of the most important things to note
about all of these cases is that these prosecutions have
been going on for over two years and they didn't
slow down Trump at all politically. In fact, they seem
to have helped him. I think it made a more
sympathetic to voters. I've seen it again and again in
some of the statements people make. Look, everybody knows about lawfair.

(02:15:38):
You don't have to be president to be to have
suffered lawfair. Everybody knows someone who's gone through a long
protracted divorce or custody battle, or non compete battle with
their former employer, or some terrible thing like that. I mean,
lawfair is just a feature of our society now. It
doesn't matter how wealthy you are, and how wealthy you are.

(02:15:58):
I think it really did Kim sympathetic to a lot
of voters. There is no republic support that I can tell,
except in the very far left kind of legal world,
to pursue these things. There is no tax payer benefit,
there is no interest. The facts are out in the public.
People have made their political judgments, so there's really no
reason to go forward with these at all in terms

(02:16:19):
of like a bettering society. But still, you're right, the
media and others will beat up on him if he
actually does fire Jacksmith. They think it would be much
better for just the good of the order if either
the court were to throw it out or if they
were to just fold up their tent and go away.

Speaker 1 (02:16:34):
Well, and you're right, the indications right now are that
they will be folding up their tent letting it go away. Now,
as for New York law, for example, falsifying business records,
he've been convicted of that schedule to be sentenced on
these class ethelonies. I know he can he can appeal that.
I think there were trumped up charges. That was a
bit of lawfare. But what do you see happening in

(02:16:57):
that Since it's New York law, right.

Speaker 26 (02:17:01):
He cannot pardon himself there, and that is that the
Special Council was not implicated that as a local prosecutor
named Dalvin Bragg, an elected prosecutor and probably demassed ridiculously
and transparently political of all of these when they all
smell that way, but this one was uniquely bad. This
is the so called hush money or Stormy Daniel's case
where he was convicted. Now the judge is going to

(02:17:23):
decide on November twelve whether or not to dismiss the
convictions on the grounds that the US based upon the
recent US Supreme Court case that kind of lays out
this new standard for presidential immunity. I think he's unlikely
to dismiss it because I think even under that decision,
that decision really is more honed in on the January

(02:17:43):
sixth fact pattern and dealing with official acts in office.
And I think most of the things that are alleged
here occurred outside of the office, although there were something
that spilled over into his presidency for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:17:54):
But I think, you know, that's a jump ball at best.

Speaker 26 (02:17:56):
So but if the judge doesn't throw it out, then
Trump will be entitled to a lengthy criminal appeals process
through the New York appellate courts.

Speaker 1 (02:18:06):
And if for some reason he loses all of.

Speaker 26 (02:18:08):
Those and a judge does try to impose a senatece
and this we're talking about, this would be a couple
of years away. Trump could seek an injunction from the
US Supreme Court under I think pretty well established case laws.
I don't think he's going to jail. If there's a
couple of ways that this could fall apart, I think
it could fall apart on appeal, because again they basically

(02:18:28):
made this charge up, and healered this charge specifically for
Donald Trump. No one has ever been prosecuted under this
theory under New York state law, it is sort of
this merger of a federal election law case with a
local state record stamper in case, it was clearly meant
to be a tax law and basically corporate compliance type

(02:18:50):
of prosecutions. Here, they sort of made this up. And
I think if the appellate courts are doing their job,
they may find that there was some prosecutorial misconduct in
coming up with the charges. But and all that being said,
odd to him going to.

Speaker 1 (02:19:02):
Jail, hero about mill and that's the one that the
left screamed out loud about the thirty four felonies that
that particular case.

Speaker 19 (02:19:09):
And.

Speaker 1 (02:19:12):
That's exactly Yeah, that didn't buy it. Well, the public
didn't buy it, and maybe that's because they understood how
convoluted the legal theory was to get to that point.
You and I understand it completely, but you know, you
don't practice law, you don't understand. I mean, it was
just absolutely outright ridiculous. But nonetheless it, you know, did
provide a wonderful campaign point for Kamala Harris, who had

(02:19:35):
very few convicted fellon, convicted fella and convicted fellaon. I
think that's going to be overturned on appeal for a
variety of reasons. And I guess we'll just have to
play wait and play that one out now. Over in Georgia,
we got election interference allegations by Georgia District Attorney Fannie Willis.
What's this one gonna what's gonna happen in this one?

Speaker 26 (02:19:52):
Well, that one seemed to be dying, kind of collapsing
under its own weight even before the election that results
came in. So you know, there has been a motion,
there was emotion pending in the appellate course to disqualify
Fanny Willis, who was the prosecutor. And if you recall
there was a bit of scandal around that where if
she had appointed her former boyfriend to actually handle the case,

(02:20:13):
he had built the county somewhere upwards of a quarter
million dollars to run the case, and was had a
secret relationship with her and was taking money that he
was getting from his prosecutor special prosecutor fees to take
her on really elaborate vacations. There's been a motion to
disqualify her. The trial court judge said no, they're appealing that.
And it looks as though that there's a legitimate chance

(02:20:36):
that she is disqualified. If she is disqualified, then someone
else within the state court system would have to pick
the case up. And I think most observers in Georgia politics,
especially after Trump just won Georgia, feel that if she
is disqualified, that no one's going to take the case up.
And even if they did, we would have a similar
series of appellate actions impossible US Supreme Court interventions, just

(02:20:59):
like we couldn't see in New York if for some
reason that case isn't tossed on appeal. So that one
seemed to have been falling apart based upon her own
conflict of interest and her own kind of personal scandal
and how that had.

Speaker 1 (02:21:12):
Impacted her handling at the case.

Speaker 26 (02:21:13):
And again that's another case that I truly it is
basically the same same theory as Jack Smith's primary case
after the District of Columbia. Purely political you know she's
bringing it, you know, did appear to be brought purely
for political.

Speaker 1 (02:21:28):
Purpose, a me too lawsuit for political purposes under state law.
Right now, Finally, what I considered to be the most
absolutely ridiculous case ever, the financial statement case, and the
where a bank who was not injured or harmed and
was fully repaid and had no problem. I would argue,
not even a justiciable controversy. The financial statement fraud case

(02:21:50):
in New York under New York Attorney Letitia James. That
one is pending on appeal presently correct. That's correct. Yeah,
And I think that one.

Speaker 26 (02:22:01):
I'm with you that that that to me is the
most like kind of Orwellian scary thing.

Speaker 1 (02:22:06):
Yeah. The trial, it's Kopa, it's the trial, yeah Copka. Yeah,
you're right. I think that's more specific, yeah, Kopka. Yeah.

Speaker 26 (02:22:14):
In the great Yeah Kopta book, where you go to
trial and you're not sure what you're on trial for, right,
And there's a sense there was a true sense that
they were sort of making this one up as they
went along. It was like the civil version of the
hush money case. But he's facing you know, the Trump Organization,
which is really this kind of series of LLCs that
that he operates as one entity in New York that

(02:22:34):
holds all of his real estate interests and other interests.
You know, he's facing a four hundred and fifty million
dollars fine essentially, or like a discouragement of what they
claim to be ill gotten gains, and that he was
able to post a bond, he was able to stay
that judgment. That one's tougher for him because, based upon

(02:22:54):
the nineteen ninety seven PAULA. Jones litigation, the Supreme Court
held that a sitting president cannot used presidential immunity to
stop a pending civil suit. And there's an argument that
Trump this is in part the against the Trump organization
and not Trump the person, So that lawsuit will probably
continue in some way. But again I like his chances
on appeal.

Speaker 1 (02:23:15):
Again, this is a.

Speaker 26 (02:23:15):
Event that's where they were using a very novel and
untested legal theory in a what was a clearly very
politically charged environment. I mean, Trump did have the misfortune
of having organized most of his business interests under New
York state law in a state where he was deeply unpopular,
and have headquarters in the Manhattan area where which is

(02:23:37):
as deep blue as he gets. So again, we have
elected judges and elected elected an attorney general in New
York State. In this case, Letisia James who brought the case,
you know, taking this nasty shot and getting this crazy judgment.
But that one he's not going to be able to
shut that one down when he gets sworn in.

Speaker 1 (02:23:57):
Unfortunately, you know that, you know that sophisticated parties. This
was an arms length transaction between sophisticated parties. You know
what's your house worth, Steve?

Speaker 12 (02:24:06):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (02:24:06):
No, you know about what it's worth when you sell it.
If you're working with a bank and you were valuing
your property and using it for collateral or whatever, the
bank is in a position to evaluate it on its own,
and they in fact did that, and they adjusted the
value accordingly. They loaned them the loan, and he paid
it back with the interest that was agreed upon. Again,
there was no harm, no fail here that this even

(02:24:29):
just well again, I guess it just boils down to
the fact that they really hated Trump so much they're
going to go after him for whatever reason they could
come up with. It's absurd.

Speaker 26 (02:24:38):
Their essential theory was that he got a better interest
rate on loans that he had long repaid based upon
this statements.

Speaker 1 (02:24:46):
And look, everybody, every developer I've ever.

Speaker 26 (02:24:48):
Worked with in my law practice puffs and puffs about
the value of their building. There of the building and
so forth, and it's on the other side to do
their due diligence, you know, if and investigate that. That's
just the nature of the game. Everybody heads into their
banking relationship as a developer or in their personal real
estate deals trying to put their best case forward as

(02:25:09):
to why they should get the loan and get the
best rate possible.

Speaker 1 (02:25:13):
I don't believe that to be fraud. I mean, that's
just our system. So yeah, exactly exactly.

Speaker 26 (02:25:19):
I mean there's people who argue whether or not you
know that you know, they're they're they're half finished basement
it could be a home office or you know, or
they're the half bathroom with no tile as a functioning
fourth bathroom. I mean, those things happen all the time.
And the idea that that could be the basis of
some sort of a uh you know, and they're really
trying to do that. They also tried to do bring

(02:25:41):
the corporate death penalty against the Trump organization and dissolve
the corporations and tell me couldn't do business in New
York for a number of years. So when it was
an effort to absolutely destroy him financially, and again that's
one of those things I think from general public began
to just see it as as as a as law fair,
as something that just shouldn't, you know, shouldn't be done.
It didn't hurt him at all politically. I think it

(02:26:02):
helped him politically because it made him more sympathetic. Again,
everybody knows somebody who has gone through some sort of
unfair legal proceeding like this, just the stakes were much
higher for him.

But your reaction to the market just blowing up yesterday

(02:29:07):
and I and I just tell you, I am not
a market analyst. I don't play one on radio, and
I don't profess to know a whole lot about it.
I think one of the reasons the market performed so
well yesterday was because Trump won not just the electoral college,
but an overwhelming margin in the popular vote, thus suggesting
that there was going to be a smooth error transition.

(02:29:30):
This wasn't going to be a dangling chad or a
lot of litigation kind of wait around and find out
what the outcome is over a course of weeks. Your
reaction or thoughts on that, Yeah, I mean, it.

Speaker 27 (02:29:40):
Was definitely an election with an exclamation point behind it.
I think it was a very clear, resounding message. And
I remember back in twenty sixteen, and I remember, look,
I've been trading stock since the nineties, so I've gone
through several presidential elections, and when it was announced that
Trump could look like he it was going to win

(02:30:00):
twenty sixteen. I remember the Dow futures tanked.

Speaker 5 (02:30:04):
I mean it was it was.

Speaker 27 (02:30:06):
It was world news from like ten o'clock at night
till one unt ter two o'clock in the morning. How
the Dow futures were down ten fifteen percent. It was
going to be the worst ever. My gosh, the world's
coming to an end. Because somehow Donald Trump got elected
as president. And by that morning at seven o'clock, the
Dow futures were only down two hundred and forty points,

(02:30:27):
and then that first day of trading it actually ended
up two hundred and fifty points. It was the most
unbelievable twelve hours of market reaction I'd ever seen, and
that was because the market's understood, wait a minute, this
is a businessman that's taking over as commander in chief.
He has an understanding of business related issues and that's

(02:30:48):
going to help businesses across the country. So it was
obvious what he did during those four years. So now
that he's been re elected, the thought process is, okay,
he's going to make all of that happen again. This
is a man that understands that you can light the
fuse to this economy in such a way that it
can help solve a lot of the ailments that we

(02:31:08):
have with regards to, you know, things that are ongoing
within this economy and for a lot of people who
did not vote for him that are trashing him on Facebook,
people that are in the service industry. Brian, I am
certain that these men and women of principle will give
back every bit of taxes they do not have to
pay on over time and or tips, because there's no

(02:31:31):
way they'll accept that money because it comes from Trump.
Do you do you think I'm correct there that these
principled men and women will stand on those principles saying
I'm not going to accept this money because it comes
from President Trump.

Speaker 1 (02:31:42):
I think you're in the right ballfield. Der Above, you've.

Speaker 27 (02:31:46):
Been listening to you, brother, But look and I'll tell
you it's going to be interesting because today we find
out from the Fed what they're going to be doing
as far as the interest rate cuts, and I think
we'll probably some are looking for a half point. I
think it probably a quarter point. But whatever it is
is the Fed really has a challenge now because when
Donald Trump ignites this economy, and he's going to do

(02:32:07):
that just like JFK did when he reduced taxes and
did things to stimulate small businesses all those years ago.
The FED is going to have our time adjusting because
they're gonna have to. They're going to have to keep
up with what's about to happen. And I am very
very excited, a because we didn't go the far far
far far far radical left, but more so because now

(02:32:30):
as a business type of country that we have, men
and women that want to start their own business can
do so easier. People that want to enjoy the benefits
of owning a small business can And even though a
lot of times people say it's all tax cuts to
the billionaires, no it's not. It's a matter of allowing
men and women who are hard working that are trying
to create a better life for themselves to create something

(02:32:53):
through a small business. Yeah, I'd like to teach people
how to trade stocks, but there's some people that want
to start a small business doing all.

Speaker 1 (02:32:59):
Kinds of things.

Speaker 8 (02:33:00):
Brian.

Speaker 27 (02:33:01):
That's going to be easier now, and that's going to
be something that's going to benefit this country in ways
that could extend for the next decade.

Speaker 1 (02:33:08):
Well. And I think that optimism is backed up by
I presume he's going to be part of the cabinet,
Elon Musk being there, who could be who's more successful
in the world in terms of businessmen than Elon Musk
And with him there in the cabinet and making helping
make decisions. And you know, I'm sure acting as a
consultant beyond just cutting government, which is the primary role

(02:33:31):
he's supposed to be taking on. I think that that's like,
that's like extra knowledge and information and knowledge base to
tap into little benefit everybody as well.

Speaker 27 (02:33:45):
But you're you know, you're a very smart individual, and Brian,
you understand the best way to do your job is
to bring in people that are smarter than you.

Speaker 1 (02:33:52):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 27 (02:33:53):
Now, for a lot of people that are very insecure
as business leaders, they can't do that because they don't
like people are not as smart as are smarter.

Speaker 5 (02:34:03):
Than they are.

Speaker 8 (02:34:04):
They want to be the top dog.

Speaker 12 (02:34:05):
Now.

Speaker 27 (02:34:06):
Me, when I was in management all those years in
the airline industry, I loved having a bunch of people
a who didn't agree with me and b that were
smarter than me because it was that collaboration of opposing
ideas where some incredible ideas came from that Nobody saw
coming because people work together. And I tell you, Donald
Trump is very smart. His ego obviously is out of

(02:34:28):
check in a lot of ways, but he is not
afraid to have people around him that are smarter than
he is. Now whether or not he abides by that
advice or not has yet to be seen, but he's
proven that he's done that in the past, and I'm
very excited to see what's going to happen here because
there's a lot of people in politics that get very
threatened on both sides of the aisle when people who
know more than they do offer an opinion. I don't

(02:34:50):
think that's going to be the case here because look,
Donald Trump can take people at a roast making jokes
at him in front of his face. He'll laugh it
off because he's he's able to do that. It's unfortunate that,
you know, Harris decided not to be at that particular
dinner that they had for charity in Washington, DC, because
I think that that reflects the type of leadership that

(02:35:12):
we need, because, look, bringing all the smart people you
can because we've got some challenges. You and I've talked
about this national debt that goes up at trillion dollars
every hundred days. Donald Trump in his first administration, let
that national debt get out of check. He's got to
make sure that problem isn't repeated this time because right
now the national debt and trying to fix social security

(02:35:34):
is going to be a big issue. But you know
what I'm excited about. He's going to be our president
during the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of this country.

Speaker 1 (02:35:41):
Oh yeah, I mean another talk about a party patriotism.
Amen to that. We'll bring him back. Let's pause, We'll
bring Jay Rother back to talk about airline stock specifically.
Yesterday eight forty in a fifty five ker c detalk station,
Brian Thomas with iHeartMedia aviation expert j ratlove' boweing stocks.
Just one more thing. I just have to let you know,

(02:36:02):
because it's just hilarious. There's a Canadian airline. I'd never
heard of it, honestly, west Jet. They did a very
very brief ad campaign one way flights to Canada this
after the election. The other day. They apparently ran that
only in California about five markets for just a few hours.
But I just thought that was hilarious.

Speaker 27 (02:36:21):
Oh, I love west Jet. They are the low discount carrier.
You can kind of call them the Southwest Airlines of Canada.
But you need to look at YouTube for their April
First jokes on cargo kids, because every April April Fools,
they would come out with a commercial that was just funny.
And this was to parents who travel with young kids.

(02:36:44):
Don't worry, we've got the perfect thing. We're gonna throw
them underneath with the luggage. You sit up front and
have a good time. These people have a lot of fun.
And I did not know about that one, but I
will look that one up. That's great to see.

Speaker 1 (02:36:56):
Yeah, I thought over aviation news. I always checked the
sites before you come on, because there's always one out
there I want to throw at you. I did get
tickled by that one. I was Brian.

Speaker 27 (02:37:06):
If you do go to YouTube on West Jet, look
up their Christmas video for many years ago.

Speaker 1 (02:37:10):
Oh is that the one where they bought packages or
Christmas presents for me? Yeah? I did watch that line.
I didn't know that. Okay, So they're fun in games
all the time, all right.

Speaker 27 (02:37:19):
Unbelievably. See if I was to go back to work
for the industry, and I never would, that's the kind
of airline.

Speaker 1 (02:37:24):
I want to work for day Ratliff heading to Canada.
All right, why did Airlong stock store and it says
here for all the wrong reasons. Anyway, market went on
fire yesterday. This was part of it. So what's the story.

Speaker 27 (02:37:36):
Well, you know you've heard me say on more than
one occasion I'm not a fan of Biden administration at all.
But you've also heard me say many many times that
I do give the Biden administration credit for going after
the airline industry. Yeah, they've done that more than any
other administration I've seen for the last twenty five years. Now,
the airlines are finally being held accountable, thank you. They're

(02:37:56):
finally being forced to deliver something painfully so called customers service.

Speaker 1 (02:38:00):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 27 (02:38:01):
But when it became clear, Brian that Trump was going
to be our next president, airline stocks took off because,
in part, investors saw a future where the airline industry
would be under less scrutiny, uh uh pressure, less oversight perhaps,
And to me, obviously that's not a good thing, because
finally the airline industry has been forced to adopt some

(02:38:22):
customer service measures that before they would. They went kicking
and screaming, dragging in that direction, and the Biden administration says, look,
you're going to treat customers this way, or you're going
to face some serious penalties. And they recognized a few
years ago they really meant business and airlines had to
do it. So when I saw airline stocks taking off

(02:38:42):
yesterday and I loved seeing stocks go up, I thought,
uh oh.

Speaker 1 (02:38:47):
And when I.

Speaker 27 (02:38:47):
Started digging into why that was one of the driving factors,
and I thought, good lord, no, I don't want to
take a step back here. But Donald Trump as a
business owner his first time around, he was very accommodating
to the airline industry. And Boeing is one of the
entities here that needs more oversight than anybody. They've got

(02:39:08):
fifteen billion dollars in defense contracts. So a lax environment
is the last thing I want airlines or Boeing to
be a part of.

Speaker 1 (02:39:16):
Yeah, And I guess that illustrates the problem I have
with the whole scenario. It is so heavily regulated and
controlled by the federal government and obviously subject of fines
and sanctions and penalties from the federal government. No other
business is subject to that level of scrutiny. Or very few.
If you're out here in the real world and you're
trying to compete, you damn well better provide a quality

(02:39:38):
product or your competitors are going to put you out
of business. And that model alone just apparently isn't sufficient
enough for Boeing, even though they're flying people and our
lives depend upon the quality of their products.

Speaker 27 (02:39:52):
Right, if we had competition, your analogy would as always
be spot on. But when you've got Airbus and Boeing
represent ninety percent plus of the aircraft that are manufactured
with Bombardier in the Canada, you've got Embry Air in
It's South America, and Comack coming out of China, which
is a new aircraft manufacturer, and I really hope that

(02:40:13):
they pick up because I like what they're doing. There's
very little competition, and Airbus has like nine thousand plus
order back orders of airplanes, so it's not like they
can jump in and say, hey, we'll take all this
Boeing business from people that are ticked off at Boeing
because they can't. So if you're like Southwest and to
meet these other airlines, you're married to Boeing because that's

(02:40:34):
the bulk of your fleet. You just have to hope
that they're going to turn things around and maybe give
you a nice, healthy discount on future orders those kinds
of things. But it's the NTSB just released their six
hundred page report on the Last Airlines flight twelve eighty
one where the door plug went out, six hundred pages.
These guys are the all stars. These men and women
are the the NTSB that after every accident near accident,

(02:40:57):
they go to the FAA saying, here's our twenty thirty
or forty recommendations from this incident on how we can
make aviation safer now. Normally the FAAO look at that,
go yawn and skip it. Sometimes they'll take one or
two of those and implement those ideas. But these are
the men and women. That's the reason that we have
the safest there ever of commercial jet travel now. But

(02:41:18):
one of the things that they indicated in this six
hundred page report was how the lack of proper oversight
of Boeing and the suppliers of Boeing contributed to that situation.
And Brian, how many planes have you and I've been
on that have been full that have had an empty
window seat?

Speaker 12 (02:41:36):
Very few?

Speaker 27 (02:41:36):
I'm in a middle seat and I look over in
this road there's an empty middle and window seat. I'm like,
ding ding ding flight attendant, please, may I move?

Speaker 8 (02:41:45):
May I move?

Speaker 27 (02:41:46):
Nobody did on that flight, and that's the one where
the door blew out. Had somebody been sitting at that
window or middle seat, they'd have been gone because it
was that is of decompression so bad that it the
secured cockpit door wide open and everything went flying in
the cockpit.

Speaker 8 (02:42:05):
So you're talking.

Speaker 27 (02:42:06):
About a horrific situation. And again because a lack of oversight,
and we cannot allow Boeing off the hook.

Speaker 1 (02:42:13):
That is truly miraculous that someone wasn't there.

Speaker 27 (02:42:18):
It is, and it just it's one of the reasons
that I was so thankful that we dodged a bullet.
We learned something critical. But Brian we knew this was
coming now, not to this extent, because it was two
weeks before that. Boeing came out and issued an email
to airlines saying, look for those airlines that have this
kind of aircraft. We've had reports from some airline mechanics

(02:42:41):
that have gone in to do work that when they
were looking at specific parts of the rudder control system
that's what helps the pilots to fly, the rudder control systems. Yes,
you may notice some missing or untightened hardware. In other words,
there's missing bolts and unsecured hardware where things haven't been
tightened on some of the rudder control systems. This was

(02:43:04):
the last two weeks of December, and I got that thinking,
oh my god, what And then of course it was like,
here we go again, the same crap that we had
with the Boeing Max problems. Yeah, where they were rushing
airplanes through lack of oversight. All we promised to do
better five years ago. No we're not. We're going to
do doing the same stuff over and over. That memo
scared me to death. And I spent the first couple

(02:43:25):
of weeks at the beginning of this year talking about
how this is a concern, and I was on boom
there goes the door plug on a door that didn't
even have some of the bolts even threaded, let alone tightened.
So you know, Boeing has got to get to the
point where they're going to really be held accountable. But
there's no place for any airline to go to that
is an alternative to Boeing because that industry is just

(02:43:48):
not competitive enough for us to do anything.

Speaker 1 (02:43:50):
Now.

Speaker 27 (02:43:51):
It's one thing here in the United States to say
there's some competition. Yes, thank god for the low cost carriers,
because that's why we have the lowest fares in the
history of aviation. In fact, someone sent me last week
a copy of a nineteen sixty two airline ticket from
the West Coast to Saint.

Speaker 1 (02:44:08):
Louis and back.

Speaker 27 (02:44:09):
It was one hundred and I think eighteen dollars round trip,
and in today's dollars that would be twelve hundred and
forty two dollars. So the thought is, wait a minute,
In nineteen sixty two dollars it would cost you to
go from the West Coast to Saint Louis and back
twelve hundred dollars is the cheapest coach fair. We now
can do that for three hundred, two hundred dollars something
like that. So you know, it's a very cheap way

(02:44:33):
to fly or to be transported these days. But the
problem is these airlines have got to be held accountable.
And I tell you I've got some real concerns moving forward.
I hope they're unfounded. But one of the things that
I can hope for is that Boeing will be given
the proper you know, oversight, Because remember when we had
the Boeing Max issues all those years ago, airlines around

(02:44:54):
the world were grounding those airplanes because we didn't know
what was happening. We had aviation A listen to this
country coast to coast, big names that are a lot
smarter than I am that were saying, oh, these planes
are okay, blah blah. And I was on every national
show I could be on, including Fox, for two weeks
screaming against those airplanes had to be grounded simply because
we did not know what was going on. The FAA

(02:45:17):
did not ground those airplanes. The airlines that flew those
Boeing Max airplanes, American, United Southwest, refused to do so.
It took President Trump to step in and say ground
those airplanes, and thank god he did. But far too
often the airlines tell the government what they're going to do,
not the other way around. And I don't want to
go back to that.

Speaker 1 (02:45:36):
Well, we want to have to face some major catastrophe
with massive casualties. Jay Ratlers did something.

Speaker 27 (02:45:43):
We could have seen coming, and that's when all those
stupid politicians are going to pull a hamstring, run into
the podium to say what they're going to do about it?

Speaker 1 (02:45:50):
Yeah, and you'll and you'll be going back read listen
to the podcast from the last four years on the
fifty five Case Morning Show. I told you so, Eddie
at the conversation, I do not. I don't want to
have it either. Jay, somebody's gonna listen to you. We
always end up on hub delays. What's it like flying
out there today, Jay, rattling up?

Speaker 27 (02:46:08):
You're around Savannah. I got a lot of rain here.
But other than that, Denver's gonna be the big issue.
They've got some weather related snow and some things in
or slowing things down, you know. Other than that, we're
keeping an eye on this disturbance in the golf of
Mexico that could impact later Houston. But as up today,
if you're flying, avoid Denver and you're gonna have a
good day.

Speaker 1 (02:46:26):
As always, enjoy you being on the Morning show. Look
forward to next Thursday. As I always tell you, it's
true and best of health. Love to you and your
better half, my friend. Enjoy your weekend. On top of it,
you too, my friend.

Speaker 3 (02:46:37):
Thank you so much.

It is eight fifty one here fifty five Kr. See
