Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Five o five ft five k r C the talk station.
Happy Wednesday, something call Kenny Loggins because you're in the

(00:24):
danger zone. Maybe maybe so, Brian Thomas, glad to be back,
and thanks to Kevin Gordon forcoverny for the last couple
of days and hopefully I won't have to call on
her back up. This morning, I struggling with a really,
really deep cough. I had apologized for in advance for
any outbreaks or use of the cough button, but wow,
what a devastating impact it is on sleep. Jeez weez,

(00:49):
just sitting up in coughing all night, wake up in
the morning, and coughing all morning. Anyhow, got the big
guns out. Thank you to my doctor for calling it
in so I've got it in reserve. But the powerful
coughs serve, which reminded me of that scene from Stripes
with Bill Murray driving the cab, which I sent to
Joe Strekker and Tony Bender yesterday. I shouldn't have had

(01:10):
all that coffser before I came to work today. Anyway,
not there yet, looking forward to having guests on the program,
and those guys began at seven oh five. It's Wednesday,
It's time for the big picture with Jack Athiden today.
He will be talking about The New York Times being
exposed exposed for what Jack Athden. We'll talk about that
Senate leadership vote as well. We have Brigham Account in studio.

(01:33):
I'm sorry he's coming in studio with only fit one segment,
but we got a big show that's lined up this
morning and bring him well. He's the energy policy guy,
and we will be talking energy policy under Donald Trump,
the Green New Deal. It's kind of some funny stuff
too going on in connection with the the Global Climate

(01:55):
Conference COP twenty nine. It's hilarious away bringham Ale comment
on that too. Adribaijan has something to say about oil.
That's where it is this year too, which is kind
of funny in and of itself. Again, we'll get to
that in a few minutes. Plus the Keystone Pipeline. This
came up last week. Will Trump restart the Keystone Pipeline

(02:17):
which was stopped and started, and stopped and started and
stopped and started. I've lost track of how many times
that pipeline has been interfered with, of course, Joe Biden,
most recently stopping it even though it had passed all
environmental and every other form of approval it could have
been scrutinized under. So let's get that thing going and

(02:38):
just well save the planet. At the same time, it's
a lot safer to ship oil through a pipeline than
it is putting it in semi tractor trailers. Oh and
can you imagine the devastation the roads would face if
you had to put all the oil from the Keystone
pipeline into semi tractor trailers or railcars that are run

(02:59):
by electricity. I'm sorry, Green New Deal stuff just makes
me well roll my eyes in disbelief. Seven forty five
Clamor County Veteran Service Program Steve Bolso's returns to talk
about that. We'll also hear from the Greatest Hour in
Radio from my perspective, Congressman Thomas Massey, followed by Judge Annapolitano,

(03:23):
Love love, love those two guys, and Congress mass He's
going to be just sort of doing election aftermath post
mortem if I will. Actually that's what the Democrats are
doing a job. Eve been following all the crazy ladies
shaving their heads and screaming into YouTube and Facebook, and yeah,
have you seen any of those They're hilarious, He's loise.

(03:46):
People have just lost it. I don't remember anyone losing
their mind after an election as much as some of
these people have lost their mind. Anyway, Congress massy an
election aftermath, I'm sure he won't dive down into that,
will he be the Agriculture secretary creating a problem. And
I brought that up really early on in my Facebook posts.
I said, yeah, let's make the a secretary of Agriculture.

(04:08):
And someone pointed out, well, with the margin as slim
as it is in the House, if you start hand
picking house members, you erode the margin of victory that
the Republicans have to a certain degree. So maybe he
can address that as well. Judgmentpolitano Gitmo continues to haunt
years and years and years later, of course when we talk.

(04:30):
Well maybe not obviously of course to you, but since
I've read the opinion piece, it's that plea deal they
entered into that they pull the plug on, and it
looks like they've well gone back to going with a
plea deal. So there's your lineup this morning. Feel free
to call five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five
hundred eight hundred eighty two to three talk go with

(04:51):
Town five fifty on AT and T phones. Yeah, I
wasn't sure where I was going to start. But since
we've been talking about the Green New Deal with Brigha
McCown and Studio viewn Climate Change Conference, the host, Azerbaijani
President Iliam Alivah, is that close enough. Aliev got the

(05:18):
memo he did accusing Western fake news media that's his words,
as well as environmental organizations of a slander campaign against
his country. And I remember this is the Climate Meeting
COP twenty nine to twenty ninth annual edition of the
Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Climate Agreement.

(05:39):
That's the formal name for Its supposed to be an
opportunity to take stock of current efforts to curtail climate
change and agree to new measures. Remember the Paris Agreement
that's from twenty to fifteen that happened at the COP
twenty one. Seems like the calendar year should align with
the with the agreement. But in any event, COP twenty

(06:02):
one is when he got the twenty fifteen Paris Agreement,
which we dropped out of under the Trump administration. In
Trump well, Biden went and got us back into it.
And now Trump is probably going to pull us out
of it, and it was an effort to mobilize trillions
of dollars of our capital, wealthy country's capital for energy transition.
Now this year they're hoping to create a new global

(06:24):
emissions trading system. So back over to Azerbaijani President Iliam Aliev.
He referred to his own country, Azerbaijan as a petro state. Well,
actually that was the criticism he had for the newspapers,
but in all honesty it is he said, conga to

(06:50):
petro state reflects lack of knowledge. However, figures from the
International Energy Agency should oil and gas account for about
ninety percent of Azerbaijan's exports, so without it they have
basically no economy. Maybe it's because it's a petro state.

(07:13):
I don't know, but he doesn't have any problem with
it referring to oil and gas reserves in the I
think this is a common sense perspective on it, calling
them a gift of well the God or a gift
of God. Regardless, he's reflecting his thanks to a higher
power for the fact that Azerbaijan has so much oil

(07:33):
and natural gas that it makes up ninety percent of
the country's exports. His words, countries should not be blamed
for having them, refering to the Petro should not be
blamed for having them, and should not be blamed for
bringing these resources to the market because the market needs them,

(07:54):
the people need them. I call that truth to power
exist their natural resources, just like gold, copper, winds unquote.
To accuse us that we have oil is the same
like to accuse us that we have more than two

(08:15):
hundred and fifty sunny days a year in Baku. Anyhow,
of course, COP twenty nine representatives are that are discussed
their claims that they can change the direction of the climate,
mitigate the consequences of climate crisis, which that's what they

(08:36):
call the natural ebbs and flow of the global temperatures.
The summit also aims to address new financial commitments to
poor countries that are particularly affected by climate change, which
is the global wealth redistribution. That's all this is all about.
It is global wealth redistribution. Got a rich country, I
bet you're using a lot of energy regardless of the source.

(08:59):
You're rich. Poor country over there, don't point to why
it's poor. It could be. Oh, I don't know. The
political structure, strife long time, unrest between warring factions. There's
a multitude of reasons one country may be poor. Maybe
it just doesn't have natural resources itself, which means probably
a bad place to live. Reminds me of Sam Kennison's

(09:21):
old joke about you know, sending U hauls and moving
people out of the desert where they don't grow anything
into more well, greener climates that actually can support a
population with food growth. But I suppose if you take
Azerbaijan and you take away all of its shall we say,

(09:44):
petro state resources, and tell the world that, well, we're
not going to use them anymore, would we then transform
Azerbaijan into a poor country that would require global wealthy
distribution to survive and feed its people. Just asking for
a friend five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred,

(10:05):
eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
on at and T phone stick around plenty to talk about, love,
to hear from you, and more. Obviously, topics to talk
about between now and the bottom of our news and
the upcoming stack is stupid. I'll be right back five
nineteen yeah fifty five ker CV talk station sort of

(10:29):
slow mode today, I hope you can understand that dealing
with the cough. I just found out just Trekker struggling
with the same thing has been hacking too for a while.
And sorry, it's going around My son's ay munication. He
is still coughing after I think, like Jesz, it's been
at least six weeks. So I'm hoping that is uh well,
not in my future. Just it's that whatever that SRV

(10:51):
or whatever that's going around see right there. Sorry didn't
hit the cough button in time. I am so excited
about well, among other things. Of course, really happy the
election turned out the way it did, with the exception
notable exception of maybe all of Hamilton County, but whatever.

(11:12):
Donald Trump Department of Government Efficiency released the statement yesterday,
I am as excited as that can be about this.
And don't overread into that and give me a phrasing
button or something like that. He issued the statement, this
is the one that's going to cut the fat out

(11:33):
of government thanks to Elon Musk and Vvke Gramma swimmy.
What a dynamic duo, the perfect duo to do this.
Donald Trump said, they please to announce that the great
Elon Musk working in construction with American Patriot VV Gramma
Swimming will lead the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE. I

(11:54):
guess I can't imagine it's Dodge, because of course Dodge
has a d N. It's so Doge. I'm going to
say it that until I get told it's pronounced differently anyway,
Department of Government Efficiency, together these two wonderful Americans will
pave the way from my administration to dismantled government bureaucracy,
slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies

(12:18):
essential to the Save America movement. This will send shockwaves
through the system and anyone involved in government waste, which
is a lot of people. That was a comment from us.
This will send shockwaves comment anyway, It was all part
of the statement issue by Trump moving on in the statement,

(12:39):
it will become potentially the Manhattan Project of our time.
Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of a DOGE
for a very long time. To drive this kind of
drastic change, the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice
and guidance from outside of government and will partner with
the White House and Office of Management and Budget to

(12:59):
drive large scale structural reform and create an entrepreneurial approach
to government never seen before. And I look forward to
Elon and Vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with
an eye on efficiency and at the same time making
life better for all Americans. Importantly, we will drive out

(13:19):
the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual
six point five trillion dollars of government spending and put
a pin in that right there because of the six
point five trillion dollars of government spending, and then throw
on top of it the fact they spend more than
they take in, obviously resulting in a massive thirty seven

(13:41):
trillion and growing every single moment in time deficit upon
which we are paying massive quantities of interest. Anyway, back
to the statement, they will work together to liberate our
economy and make the US government accountable to we the people.
Their work will conclude later than July fourth, twenty twenty six.

(14:04):
The smaller government, with more efficiency and lust bureaucracy will
be the perfect gift to America on the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. I am
confident they will succeed well if you've got the support
of Congress. It could power of the purse right there.
You can get rid of people just by defunding it.
Just don't pay them, don't fund the department. The department

(14:26):
might go away. Elon Musk, for his part, referring to
this Department of Government efficiency, must say the department will
take suggestions and concerns from everyday Americans regarding how the
government spends money. Said on X the other day. Anytime
the public thinks we are cutting something important or not

(14:47):
cutting something wasteful, just let us know sid of it.
Suggesting an open door policy. And of course, with three
hundred and fifty million Americans maybe chiming in on that,
I know children are including that number, let's say one
hundred and fifty million Americans. Probably not going to consider
each and everyone individually, but you know, you get a
majority of people starting to chime in saying this needs

(15:10):
to go, This needs to go. Maybe some attention to
be focused on it, and it will go. We will also,
he said, have the leadership, I'm sorry, the leaderboard for
the most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This
will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining. That's one

(15:32):
of the things I love about Elon Musk, kind of
an out of the box thinker. He can be a
real comedian and joker. But I know anybody's been listening
to the Morning Show for any number of years and
knows that's the kind of thing I like to point
out all the time, the fact that you and I
actually labor and have our tax dollars taken so they
can study shrimp on treadmills or fund gain of function

(15:59):
research at the Chinese Communist Party lab in Wuhan. Yeah,
I think that's an area government that we might want
to cut, don't you. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the
leader board. Might be a little bit embarrassing for our
government to actually reveal with the American people and have
a guy like Elon Musk and a guy like Vivik
Grandma swam me pointing it out every single day. There

(16:21):
aren't enough days in the week to point out all
the areas where we overspend and mismanage and spending government.
Musk again, going back to the other comment, he said,
this will send shockwaves to the system and anyone involved
in government waste, which is a lot of people Ramaswamy said,
he and Musk will not go gently. So get the

(16:46):
scissors out, get Vivek and elon an office to sit
down in and have them start cutting beginning. I would
say before day one they can make a big, long
list of varias to cut government. Oh look all these
articles about getting rid of the Department of Education. There's
one way we can start. Five point twenty five fifty

(17:07):
five care CD talk station, got local stories coming up.
I prefer talking to you. If you want to call in,
I'd love to hear from you, but regardless, stick around
right here fifty five care CD talk station. Have a
de talk station, a Shay five point thirty on a Wednesday,
and a happy one to you. Five one three seven,
five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk found

(17:29):
five fifty on eight D phones fire not about four
of eight this morning. But with your assistance and help,
we'll manage get through. Okay. Got some great guests lined
up this morning, and of course the phone calls. Welcome
back Mississippi, James. It's always a pleasure to hear from you, sir.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
All right, good morning, Brian, and I'm down in the
great state of Mississippi.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Noh, you made it. Good job. I've said, I pick
my fingers crossed. You're gonna have safe travels. I hope
you had no bumps on bumps along the way.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
My friend, Hey, you know what it rain almost It's
a six hundred mile drive down here. It rained about
four hundred of those miles. And every time we had
to stop either get gassed and let the wife use
the bathroom, the rain stopped. So we each got out

(18:18):
the car without an umbrella, without getting wet, going to
you know, service station or whatever, got back in the car.
Rain it didn't start exactly And after about the second
of time I noticed, I said, this is not a coincidence.
This is really the rain, Gods a silent on us.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
That's it's a nice little miracles. You look for those
wherever you can find him. And I'm going to call
that exactly what it is. It's when a life's little miracles,
said James.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Now that leads to a bigger question down here. The
mood is that God has smiled on Trump and the
Republican and put him back in and this is God
doing and that's a big move down here.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
So just the.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Question you what's your opinion on that little bit that
I just be it.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
You know, well, we all have our perceptions of religion
and whether or not God is an interventionist or not.
I am of the mind that God is not intervening
in our day today actions. I just personally believe that
bad things happen. So many bad things happen. You wonder
how could God allow this? You know that's because we

(19:31):
as people are given free will and free choice. We
exercise our freedom that God has given us, and we
need to learn from our mistakes, and we need to
learn from people who have done it right and from
the positive and the good that can come from the
right choices in our lives. So how did God allow

(19:51):
six million Jews to be slaughtered in the Holocaust. I
don't think God had anything to do with that. I
think it was the Nazi Party and their political philosophy.
We learned something from that, I'd like to think we did.
Some people apparently did not. But genocide I think has
been demonstrably a terrible, awful thing that should never happen again.
We've seen the outcome and the results of it. But

(20:14):
in order for us to have learned, somebody has to
observe the mistakes that were made. I don't think God
intervened and made the Bengals lose all the times they've lost.
I don't think he had a hand in helping them win, right,
you know. I just there's too many bad things that
have happened that if you I mean, I believe in
a merciful God. I'm looking forward to the afterlife. I

(20:35):
do believe in God, but I really don't believe God
had anything to do with electing Donald Trump. I think
that was us looking at the political landscape, finding all
the faults of the Biden administration, perhaps us being offended
at the Democrats shoving someone down their collective throats that
they didn't select, who that they actually outright rejected back

(20:56):
in twenty nineteen. And we could go on and on
and on. So, you know, maybe people revolted against the
transgender policies that the left is showing down our throat.
Maybe we don't like the idea of all of our
money being taken and redistributed. Multitude of reason, James, but
I think that was our collective view of the landscape,
maybe boiled down to the simple question of are you

(21:17):
better off now than you were four years ago? And
most people said, in a large majority said no, I'm not.
I'm going to give Trump a shot again because at
least I knew that things were better for me under
his administration. How does that work? Is that? Okay?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Hey, does your opinion sound good?

Speaker 1 (21:34):
I got one? I know you do, James. Everybody's got one.
But if you ask for mine, I'm happy to volunteer it.
And I'm really glad that's what. Yeah, all right, God
bless you, sir.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
We'll take and a lot of it aligned with mines. See,
like peoples here with the Democrats. With the Democrats, there's
some things on the table that nobody should have to
deal with.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Say this open.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Border, all these wars. What is a woman? You know,
men's in the female locker room.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
See, and we saw.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
On the Olympics two men's competed. Biological man's competed. Yeah,
and they say that one guy, he was rainted, number
rated number sixty in the men's division, he changed over
to the female became number one. Not only broke rappers,
he set records that they probably never reached, semils never reached.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Jason, you bring that up. That did not require God's
hand to guide you to reach that conclusion. That was
a logical and reasonable conclusion that you made, and I
think the vast majority of Americans made, at least in
terms of guiding and steering their vote towards Trump rather
than Kamala Harris, who wants to pay for transgender reassignment

(22:53):
surgery for prisoners. So, James, I'm glad we had this conversation.
Good dear, Yeah, real quick, real quick.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
The boxing that lady they quit after two blows from
their man. Oh yeah, you said, hey, I'm not going
to sustain brain damage. That was the hardest hit I've
ever taken in my life.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, all right, brother, have a good morning you too, sir.
Thanks for calling. It is eight thirty or five thirty
five or eight thirty five, My morning's sucker. It's five
thirty five right now at fifty five Cars Talk Station.
I have a stack and stupid you get to Your
calls are always welcome this so feel free to call in.
I'll be right.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Back, just like your Bengals team Chevrolet. That is five
forty on a Wednesday, and a happy one to you.
Brian Thomas back for the most part.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Trying to be real delicate so I don't start coughing
into the microphone and just warning you ahead of time,
and nobody wants to hear about it. But if I
sound a little different, that's the reason, really really struggling.
So apologies, but thank god for prescription cough medication, and
thank God for guests. Jack Adthan is going to join
the program at seven oh five. We've got Brig h
mcgawan on energy policy. We got the Claremont County Veteran

of podcasts when you can't listen live and again thanks

(24:29):
to Kevin Gordon for covering me for the last couple
of days. Uh we go to New York. We're back
in the stack of stupid and yet another subway surfer
in New York City lost her arm and leg after
being hit by a train in Manhattan subway station. Happened.
I guess last Wednesday. Please doing no questions. You know,

(24:56):
woman trying to climb on top of a moving Number
two train when she fell between two cars and onto
the tracks at West one thirty fifth Street. No kidding,
six ten pm. According to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and
in New York Police, victim hit by the southbound Number
two train rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Women

(25:18):
believed to be in her late teens or early twenties
lost her arm and a leg. According to this that's awesome, Joe,
thank you. Let us see here. Police been using drones

(25:42):
to say. One hundred and fourteen people attempted to surf
on subway trains in the past year, according to including
a nine year old that's part of a statement from
Mayor Eric Adams. At least six people have died subway
surfing just this year, which is an increase over last year.

(26:02):
One of the victims, a thirteen year old, killed attempting
to attempting a challenge he had allegedly observed on pick
a social media site. Folks, what's Dave hawersay all the time?
Get the hell off of TikTok that's the one.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Are you stupid?

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Maline Sorzano speaking with Newstar WPIX. That was mom of
the now late thirteen year old, since she found videos
of her son's subway serving on his phone in social
media despite warning him against riding on trains. Twelve year
old girl also critically injured last month while surfing subway

(26:42):
surfing on top of the Number seven Training Queens with
her thirteen year old friend, who died. Twelve year old
was still in critical condition as a last week. That
particular incident followed the tragic death of an eleven year
old who fell onto the tracks while subway surfing in
Brooklyn in September. It's just I'm trying to think back

(27:09):
and go ahead. You can reflect on your childhood as well.
Did we ever do anything that dumb? Just Strecker's laughing
right now, he's laughing. Okay, I know you got something
floating around your head, Joe, you don't have to say
it out loud. Well, excellent observation. You get huge props

(27:31):
for that. Joe just pointed out, well, we didn't have
social media back then to record our stupidity or egg
people on to engage in Similarly, stupid conduct. Point conceded
to always think about college and thank god we didn't
have cell phones with cameras on him in college. Mohammed

together thanks the lingering effects of the twelve hour prescription
cop medication I took at eight when I went to bed,
got until eight o'clock four. I can take it again.
But that's pretty funky stuff I will admit anyway over.

(32:16):
The second stupid Texas woman who left her two young children,
ages eight and six, at home alone when she went
on a four day cruise, plead guilty. Thank you, Michael,
no doubt about it. Pleaded guilty to fellow the abandonment count.
According to the court record, Lakeisha Woods Williams, twenty nine

(32:36):
years old, admitted to a charge of carrying a prison
term in between six months and two years in a
maximum of ten thousand dollars fine as part of her
open plea. She has not recent agreeing with prosecutors as
there were possible punishment. Williams will be sentenced early next
year by Houston judge found the preparations of a present

(32:58):
present pre sentenced investigation report. She declined to participate in
that one. That's confusing to me if it's any consolation anyway.
According to investigator, she and her children resided in a
thirty six hundred dollars a month apartment on the twenty
first floor of a luxury McKinley Apartments in Houston. In

(33:21):
a court financial affidavit, she reported earning six thousand dollars
monthly as a full time nursing service employee. In April,
neighbors spotted her elite Wow. Uh, neighbor's fut that was
a finger slip? Does it a result in that sound

(33:41):
effect when your finger slips? I guess it depends on
where you slipped. Stop Brian right now, neighbors spotted or
leaving the complex with luggage and bags, but not her children.
Witness who never saw William's return to the location called
nine one one, feeling that the children, a boy and
his younger sister, were all Police welfare check found the

(34:03):
children yes by themselves, in a home that, in their words,
smelled of urine and was in complete disarray and had
trash and leftover food all over the unit. Juveniles told
cops her mom went on vacation on a cruise and
they did not know when she was going to return.
The boy used to sell phone to Texas Mom while

(34:23):
she was vacationing. Police found a webcam that she used
to watch and talk to the children while she was away.
Minors subsequently released to the custody of their aunt or
aunt if you choose. I did no mention of the dad, Joe,
but shocking to you. When contacted by phone, Williams was uncooperative,

(34:47):
but with police refused to return to the residents quote
she was switching up her story on her whereabouts that
is in the criminal complaint. Williams, who reportedly cruised a
part of Rico, has been freed on a twenty five
thousand dollars bond since her April arrest. Upon setting Williams
release terms, a judge called the charge offences egregious, citing

(35:11):
witness accounts that just added that this is not the
first time something like this has occurred. Man, I don't
get what goes through people's heads. Well, probably one more here.
We're gonna shalot North Carolina, Shalotte never heard of it.

(35:33):
Missing pet python turned up it at Chili's location after
being on the lows for two months. Slot Peace Department
issued a statement social media on last or on Tuesday today,
officers were dispatchable to a large snake in the area
of Chili. They encountered this python. Interesting statement, they wrote.

(35:55):
Cord to the post. Sergeant Baker with the SBD recovered
the animals safely, said we believe that's they had been
someone's pet and got loose. If you have any information
as to the owner, please contact our agency. Only a
day after the snake was located to the owner, identified
by local news as a guy named Christian, Shiel, came
forward her sorry Christian, to be reunited with her pet.

(36:21):
That beautiful snake is my baby girl. Owner. I think
she said she is the best snake anyone could ever have,
and I've been missing her deeply for the past two months.
She must have been hiding in my car and came
out at the wrong time when I was at Chili's
around two thirty yesterday. Boy, there's all kinds of opportunities
built into that, isn't there, Joe. She told the station

(36:45):
she believed the snake managed to get inside her car
and slithered off after going to Chili. She because I
didn't feel it didn't feel real, if I'm being honest,
But it was one of the best days of my
life because she means a lot to me, just like
how someone cat or dog means to them. She's a
great companion. What a lot of people don't know or
realize is that losing a reptile is the same as

(37:06):
losing a dog or cat for another person. I'll let
you draw your own arely, we're saying it a lot
this morning, Joe Strekker, Thank you very much. Stick around.
Plenty to talk about in the six o'clock hour. I'd
certainly enjoy hearing from you, but plenty of stories to
go through. I'll be right back after the news when
you want to know. When you need to know. When

(37:29):
you have to know, you can be in the know

If you're a fifty five KR see me talk station
ten Thomas back. Thank you Kevin Gordon for coming for
me the last couple of days and almost covering for
me this morning as well. I know I'm trying to
go easy on my voice here to prevent from coughing,
So if I sound a little different, there's a reason
for that. That plus the last thing of that of

(38:00):
the narcotic cough medicine that it took last night. Not
quite moving in stereo, but it's stuff packs a wallap.
It does work though. Five one, three, seven, four nine
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three taco
with pound five fifty on at and ch Punds love
hearing from folks, especially on days like today. Cribbage my

(38:22):
my submarine r friend. It's great having you on the program.
Good to hear from you.

Speaker 7 (38:25):
Today more than Brian, I'm sorry to hear you're still
struggling with that. You know, I was beginning to wonder
after your victory last Wednesday. I thought maybe you hit
the pro cribbage tour.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
And I did you notice I didn't crow about that, Mike,
I did? I did? I just said I won, And like,
what is that that? That's what the fourth time I've
beaten you in the last couple of years.

Speaker 7 (38:47):
I think you're Correctory, I think you're correct.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I knew I could count it on one hand.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
But the way you were feeling then and today, I
bet Jack can almost guarantee a victory for you today.
You must be just such inner focus there and that
costs here and fall guy.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Well you actually the last time it was only it
was because I had four hours sleep, So this I
had plenty of sleep last night. I the coffs are
of knocked me out of like five minutes after I
took it at eight o'clock and the alarm woke me up.
And last several days. And I'm serious about this, you know,

(39:22):
from like two o'clock in the morning, even though I
wasn't working from two o'clock in the morning until I
got out of bed around you know, seven or seven
thirty or eight, non stop hacking deep cough, awful, awful, awful.
Apparently Joe's struggling with the same thing, although he doesn't
have the cough to the degree that I have it.
But just it's just, oh god, anybody out there that's

(39:43):
got it as SRV I think is what it is,
wouldn't wish it. I'm a worst enemy anyhow.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
Got a couple, got a couple of people that work too,
So yeah, it's definitely going around there. You okay to
drive with that super duper coughts here? Or did your
lovely bride drive you land?

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Now we won't talk about that. I'm as certain my
fifth right to be free of self from criminy.

Speaker 7 (40:09):
You had command Sergeant Major is going to be in studio.
But yeah, you got to share that picture with him,
that would you know? I always get to kick out
of that with my marine buddies. And he is just
doing a hell of a job out here in Claremont County.
I mean, you talk somebody right out of central Casting.
He is the guy for the veterans of this county
and I can't thank him enough for the job he's doing.
He's talking about, uh, the Clon County.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yes, oh yeah, yes, sir, the best marine is a submarine.
According to the hat picture you sent me, I will
be certain to pass along along with that picture of
your father. That's cool.

Speaker 7 (40:45):
I just want to make a comment just day after
day as we continue to hear who Trump is want
to fill his cabinet with. I mean, compared to the
bar scene at Star Wars that we had for the
last four years, I mean, it's no wonder Biden hasn't
had the cabinet meeting in over a year now to
sit across the table, you know, because it's not a
matter of being the first female, the first trans or whatever.

(41:08):
Let's hire people with competency because I mean, we don't
have a crystal ball. We don't know how it's going
to work out, but at least coming in. I mean,
once again, some of these people are right out of
central casting. I mean, you look at that guy that
he named his what borders are? If you look up
somebody who who's you know, defined, I don't care what
you think of me, that's his picture.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (41:27):
He's going to get the job done. And here in
this morning that Pete Hegseth, combat veteran. He's got to
be one of the youngest Secretary of Defense nominees. And
if he gets the job, you know, and then the vague.
You know who better along with Elon I mean this, oh,
the Department of.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Cutting government down to his bone, Department of Government efficiency Doge. Yeah,
I'm excited as I can be about that. Have you
noticed though, in connection with anybody mentioned Pete hes Guts
and all the reporting, it's Fox News commentator and the veteran.
It's like they don't even give him credit for his
tours of duty.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
Somebody that walk the walk.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, I know, I'm hopeful. You know again your good point,
we're back to maybe meritocracy for a change. Imagine that.

Speaker 7 (42:19):
Well, and another factor too, because I think that's where
he learned his lesson with who he picked, probably go
on with a lot of Washington insiders, given in those
recommendations in his first term. You look at everybody he's
picking now. Loyalty along with competency, but loyalty. I don't
think we're going to see the leaks.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Like we had last time. I sure hope not bring
us back to this since of normalcy. And I just
want efficiency. I want policies to get through that are
good for America. I want the restorations of freedoms and liberties.
I want, you know, eradication and pairing back of these ridiculous,
ridiculous rules and regulations that seem to come out of
nowhere from the bowels of government every five minutes. It's

(42:58):
just there's so much opportunity to cut and this Department
of Government efficiency with VVA Gramma swimming and Elon musk,
that is really really the most hopeful thing I'm staring
at this morning.

Speaker 7 (43:13):
Well, even even Hexces's last book had to do with
the woke that's in the military. So I can tell
you that's going to be going the way of the
Dodo bird and any general or animal who wants to
try and you know.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
I know their days are numbered well, and that will
be consistent with what they're planning with the Department of
Education as well. Either going to outright shut it down.
But Donald Trump's promised to end all of the woke
ideological crap that we have been all been paying for
and shoving down our young people's throats now for years
and years, So I welcome that opportunity as well. Let's

(43:44):
get back to reading, writing, and arithmetic and teaching young
people the core skills they need to advance in life
and get gainful employment, not fret about they them or
he shear jesure or whatever the hell else they're shoving
down our roads. Mike and the Vake.

Speaker 7 (44:03):
The last comment, the Vake and Elon need to need
to put the scalpels aside and they need to go
into their job with chainsaws.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, nay, palm, chain sauce, flamethrowers, whatever gets
a job done. Mike Barrett back, thanks for calling this morning,
my friend. Always a pleasure hearing from you. And let's
see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, welcome to the
Morning Show, and Happy Wednesday to you, sir.

Speaker 8 (44:29):
Happy humpday, my brother, faiths, flag, family, and firearms. When
you have those, you're always going to keep your freedom.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah. Probably be able to keep our firearms under the
upcoming administration a lot easier than the current one.

Speaker 8 (44:44):
I'm glad to see your back, my brother. There's been
a lot of people off on political sabbaticals.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Well, mine was not a political sabbattle like, Oh, I
wanted nothing more than to be here at work. It's
just that no one wanted to hear from me coughing
every two seconds and not being able to get a
word in edgewise for my own problems.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
No, I meant to celebrating the events, not the negative
part of all the great things that's happened last week.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Well, that's why I wanted to be here in celebration.
I know other people are getting in a fetal position
and you know, talking about leaving the country for Canada
or elsewhere. I would have loved to have been here
to enjoy the shot and frauda that so many people
were feeling.

Speaker 8 (45:27):
Well, when we start sending all the buses back down
to the southern border, we could send those buses back
up to Canada, just take them right up there when
they want to go. I made it real easy, free
transportation for the people won't leave.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Well, there have been some rumors going around that some
are already self deporting and getting on buses and heading
off to Canada, recognizing that the future is written and
they're going to end up being deported anyway. Also a
couple of stories I read, and I don't know how
accurate they are and how much abundance this might be having,
but big caravans of would be illegal immigrants ready to

(46:03):
cross our southern border have decided it isn't worth making
the trip given that Trump is going to be coming
into office shortly, and their days here would be numbered. Anyway.

Speaker 8 (46:15):
Well, I'm glad you're back with my brother, and I
hope you feel better.

five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound

Kevin Gordon for covering for me the last couple of days.
I don't know what he talked about, but I hope
he did bring up the fact that, you know, this
is what it's like. I think about the child the
Soviet Union. When I was growing up, that was the

(50:21):
big threat. You know, you didn't worry too much about
the Chinese Communist Party disorganized, The Third World is heading
into second World country. Not so much as a threat
is the Soviet Union nuclear powered and armed and obviously
our sworn enemy. But what do we learn about it's

(50:43):
like being a member of the Nazi Party. If you're
a member of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union,
you enjoy the benefits of well party membership. If you
were a member of the Nazi Party and Fascist Nazia
Nazi Germany, you enjoyed the benefits of party membership. Those

(51:04):
not part of the affiliated with the party did not
might have been treated differently, and that's apparently the case
under the Biden administration when it came to handing out
FEMA aid. And fortunately there are some probes that have
been launched. Governor de Santas and Florida has launched a
probe into these shenanigans. I guess I can lightly refer

(51:26):
to them as but FAMA employees allegedly told not to
go to homes even though they were impacted by the
hurricane which displayed Trump signs. Trump's supporters were to be ignored.
Is how I'm boiling that down, And at least some
heads are rolling. The supervisor Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor

(51:48):
was fired for instructing her subordinates to skip over the
houses with Trump signs and banners. She, however, is now
claiming that her actions were consistent with agency guidance, as
opposed to being an isolated incident relating to her team alone.
The former supervisor fired Marnie Washington let go after obvious

(52:13):
outrage erupted that she had instructed disaster relief workers canvassing
in Lake Placid, Florida, in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton,
to literally avoid homes advertising for Trump. This information first
came out via The Daily Wire. Government employees told them
that at least twenty homes of Trumps signed their flags

(52:35):
bypassed from the end of October to November due to
quote best practices close quote guidance from Washington houses skipped
over by the workers who wrote messages such as Trump
signed no entry per leadership in the government system, so
the least acknowledged, well, we saw Trump signso according to

(52:55):
our leadership, we didn't go there. Over the weekend, FEMA
administrator on employee misconduct, a woman named Diane Criswell, speaking
with Fox News Digital that this Washington woman, the Marnie Washington,
had been fired, calling her actions reprehensible and claiming that
they were a clear violation of femous core values and

(53:16):
principles fine, which is the way it should be femas
spokesperson speaking with Fox News It said they were deeply
disturbed by her actions, insisting though that was an isolated incident.
Spokesperson said the employee who issued this guidance had no
authority and was given no direction to tell teams to
avoid the homes, and we're reaching out to the people

(53:39):
who may not have been reached as a result of
the incident. But Ms Washington, coming to her own defense
in a podcast on Monday, set her instructions to not
handle or go to Trump houses complied with FEMA protocol
to avoid Holmes dit determined to be hostile or dangerous

(54:03):
to workers. Let that's sink in. According to her statement,
she said it on this podcast, they all allege that
these actions were made in my own recognizance and that
it was for my own political advances. However, if you
look at the record, there is what we call a
community trend, and unfortunately it just so happened that the

(54:29):
political hostility that was encountered by my team, they just
so happened to have the Trump campaign signage, she claimed.
She also claimed her instructions were given after her team
members had been verbally and physically threatened by hurricane victims
with signs in support of the former president. Said instructions

(54:50):
followed FEMA's avoidance and de escalation policy. Quote. Senior leadership
will lie to you and tell you that they do
not know. But if you ask the dsay that will
be disaster survivor assistance crew leads and specialists what they
are experiencing the field, they will tell you. FEMA always

(55:10):
preaches avoidance first and then de escalation. So this is
not isolated. This is a colossal event of avoidance, not
just in the state of Florida, but you'll find avoidance
in the Carolinas avoidance. Now, what we're saying here, what
they are concluding here is because at least according to

(55:32):
her accounts, some Trump signage homeowners expressed anger god knows
what over what they now are illustrative and FEMA can
now paint with a broad brush that because some Trump
supporters were expressing anger, all of them are to be avoided.

(56:02):
Is that right? Can you paint with that broad of
a brush when you're FEMA and we have people that
have no water, no electricity, no clothing, probably lacking in hygiene,
maybe starving to death because they have no access to resources,
grocery stores are closed that because a handful of them.
And I'll concede and say, maybe a handful of Trump

(56:23):
supporters or people that had Trumps signage in the yards
were jerks. But the FEMA workers weren't calling wearing pro
Joe Biden messages. They weren't knocking on doors trying to solicit,
you know, votes for Kamala Harris. They're merely going around
checking to see if everything was okay and to find
out if homeowners needed some assistance. But no, we'll just

(56:46):
go ahead and deprive anyone who displays Trump's signage because well,
we're trying to avoid conflicts. I guess it helps to
be a party member out until the election's over. Six

Blania Trump has made a decision this according to reports
today that she declined an offer to go to the
White House and meet with Jill Biden, and the reason
cited is the Biden administration's rate at mar Lago as
part of the federal government's investigation and the classified documents.
A source familiar with Malania's decision telling The Post in

(59:27):
an article they put out, Jill Biden's husband is the one.
It was his WEAPONI doj that authorized the FBI snooping
through her underwear drawer and the Biden's. Frankly, they're just disgusted.
And you know what, Milania has no desire to meet
with him, none whatsoever.

Hey Mike, thanks for holding over the brake. Welcome to
the morning show.

Speaker 11 (01:02:11):
All right, Brian. Two things are quick about FEMA skipping
over houses with Trumps signs. The first thing is that
the hurricane Yase came through. How do you know if
that's where that sign originated?

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Good point? And how do you and how do you
know up freud that the person, even if it is
their sign, is going to be verbally abusive to you
or otherwise pose a risk to you FEMA workers, you know,
safety or something. It's a ridiculous conclusion.

Speaker 11 (01:02:44):
And dude's the other thing that saying that Trump supporter
they're skipping over houses with Trump's that's again to racism.
How do you ever replaced Trump supporter at any race?
And this kind's a totally different, a different conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Well, true, it is an ism, it's an anti I
don't know, it's a political party, affiliation ism. You know,
I don't know what you call that, but just by
virtue of being a member of a political party list
and if you need aid, you need aid. I would
never deprive aid as someone who's a communist, as socialist,
a leftist, a Kamala Harris supporter, you know, Joe Biden's supporter.

(01:03:21):
You know, just because you have your head, you know,
in a dark, dank place, doesn't mean you're not deserving
of or entitled to some aid. That's what it's there for.
That's that's the most It's the crazy part about that story.
I mean, that's how far in deep trumped arrangements since
syndrome went or goes. It's that bad. They so bad

(01:03:46):
that they've lost the concept of charity and humanity that
they would deprive someone of something necessary like clean water,
merely because they support a particular political position. It's really
scary when you think about it. And they're the ones,
you know, pointing fingers raising three forms of holy hell

(01:04:07):
about how Trump is going to take away your rights
or end democracy or something. Here they are literally taking
away something that might help you survive. Six thirty five
fifty five care see the talk station. I'm still reeling
from the reality of that. Not that I should I

(01:04:29):
suppose maybe it shouldn't surprise me, But perhaps the fact
that it shouldn't surprise me is reflective and revealing of
something well nefarious. Odor Exit revealing of something that will
get rid of the stinks in your world. Odor Exit
works on the nastiest owners, odors, odors. I'm sorry folks

(01:04:49):
fired on half of eighth Pat's human skunk, mold, mildews, smoke,
a whole lot more odor. You've got it, you get
rid of it with odor Exit. Got some great products.
In fact, my wife came in just was it yesterday,
paul Ette, yesterday the day before? Which is the odor
Exit because we got all the odor exsit products at
our house. We've used them for a variety of different
smells over the years. Which is the product you used

(01:05:10):
when Liam rolls in something? Apparently he did it again,
God knows what it was. I used to concentrate the
odor Exit eliminator. The concentrated stuff I don't want to
not is pour it on a rag, rub it all
over the dog's face. After you've cleaned off whatever he
had rubbed in. You don't want chunks of something on
there when you put the product on it, so clean

(01:05:31):
it off and then get rid of the balance of
the odor with the odor exsit products that will be
the eliminator for that little ditty and he got a dog.
You're gonna have to use it over and over again
over the years. So ship's the same day. Go to

your front door by tomorrow if you order before three o'clock,
or buy it locally. Find a store a little link

(01:05:51):
right there, click on it, type in your zip code,
and there you have it. Four different products that choose
from one of them will most certainly eliminate the odor.

I'm going to coming up at six forty one fifty
five k sety talk station A very happy one. Say
to you, Jack Abadan at the top of the our
names The Big Picture with Jack Averton a full hour
in the seven o'clock hour, in a full eight o'clock
hour of Congress from Massy and Judge of Paul Atana

(01:06:34):
had an interesting back and forth with Mississippi James this morning,
calling in from Mississippi back at home for the winter months,
and ask me about whether I thought God had anything
to do with Trump getting elected. And I don't believe that.
Believe in God, yes, but I don't believe that he
takes an active, you know, engaged, you know, making things happen.

(01:06:55):
Like I decree that Donald Trump will win. We decide
that we're supposed to learn from Umber States. We have
been given free will. This is why there's death, dismemberment, destruction, evil.
It's all over the world. You don't have to go
very far to look for it. And I believe if
God was an activist, then maybe evil would be eradicated.
But no, look at what happens when people do bad things,

(01:07:17):
learn from those mistakes and move forward. But I also
noted over the years, you know, speaking of religion and
things religion that you know that like climate change, the
luft us this as a religion, which is just it's
so strange to me. And along those lines, and I
always give credit where credits go to William mcgern standing
on the shoulders of giants, the Democrats religion and helping me.

(01:07:39):
An op ed piece came out yesterday, which you know,
just does a brilliant job of drawing the lines together.
Donald Trump's reelection wasn't the l landslide Ronald Reagan's was
in nineteen eighty four. But for Democrats demoralized by the
outcome on election day, the wamping mister Trump delivered stings
more men they called racist, sexist, fascist, not only lid

(01:08:04):
the national popular vote, but made stunning inroads into the
constituencies Democrats considered theirs by right African Americans, Latinos, blue
collar workers, et cetera. Trump even won those that the
experts counted on to sink him, white suburban moms. And
so the Democratic Festivus, the Seinfeld Holiday for airing of

(01:08:25):
the grievances, is now in full swing. This is the
part where the breakdown cars because they're all just trying
to figure out how it was they lost. Oh my god,
Kamala Harris was a lousy candidate. Joe Biden stayed on
the ticket until it was too late for anybody else
Barack Obama and Aspelosi to prive the Democrats of the
opportunity to choose their nominee. There's truth in all these complaints,

(01:08:47):
but none get to the challenge now. In nineteen eighty five,
centrist led by al from from the Democratic Leadership Council,
successfully pushed the party in a more moderate directionating in
the nineteen ninety two election of its chairman Bill Clinton
to the presidency. But this time around, bring the Democratic

(01:09:09):
Party more in line with the values and aspirations of
ordinary Americans requires far more than tweaking tax policies or
rethinking its absolutism on fossil fuels. What Democratic Centrists are
up against today is a religion. To call a view

(01:09:30):
of religion usually means it's beyond debate or reason. The
left's zelotry can sometimes look like that, witness all those
videos of Harris voters melting down at the election outcome.
But the better way to look at the Democrats and
religion is as a larger view that makes sense of
the world to its adherents. In the old tradition of

(01:09:53):
centrist reformers. Liberal blogger Matt Iglesias recently tweeted nine principles
for common sense Democrats aiming to rebuild a winning coalition.
These range from recognizing the importance of robust economic growth
and treating climate change as a reality to manage, not

(01:10:14):
a hard limit to obey, to acknowledge that biological sex
is not a social construct. All are sensible, and all
are unlikely to stick. The proposed reforms clash with a

(01:10:36):
worldview that exerts a powerful hold on influential parts of
elite America and the Democratic Party. Even Democrats and institutions
that don't subscribe to this faith have often been taken
hostage by it, including many churches. Take climate change it
comes with all the tropes of a religion, descriptions of

(01:10:58):
Earth as an Eden. This is spoiled by man predictions
of end times. We don't radically change our ways. I
love this one, and indulgences that allow celebrities to jet
around the world so long as they drive electric cars
to atone for their carbon sins. That also explains why
green politics almost always elevates the radical over the sensible,

(01:11:24):
or identity politics. The simplistic beauty of identity politics is
that it separates people into oppressors, and victims. The ultimate
oppressors are straight white men who have created a structure
that keeps sexual and racial minorities down. If this worldview
is correct, justice demands correcting these wrongs on everything from

(01:11:45):
college admissions to hiring and promotion decisions. How different this
approach is from the dream of Martin Luther King Junior
in America, where his children will be judged by the
content of their character and not the color of their skin.
But today the groups fighting to evaluate people by skin
color aren't the fat white Southern sheriffs of caricature, but

(01:12:10):
the liberal civil rights activists who push race preferences. Ditto
for sex, there is no scientific basis for saying that
men can become women or women can become men, Yet
this is unquestioned orthodoxy within many parts of the Democratic
Party Today. There are policies that let students live by

(01:12:30):
a different gender identity during school hours while their moms
and dads are deliberately kept in the dark. And look
at the inquisition that descended on Democratic Representative Seth Molten
for saying boys shouldn't be allowed to play girls sports.
Even on economic economics, a quasi religious view holds hold
on in this view, policy is a struggle between good

(01:12:55):
and evil, So if there is inflation, it isn't because
of any govern spending or policies, but because the evildoers
are price gouging. This is also why, more than four
decades after Reagan was first elected, no one has ever
specified a percentage for the fair share of taxes the

(01:13:16):
villainous wealthy ought to pay. In economic theology, fair share
always means more. A few observers have made much of
the Fox News voter analysis finding that miss Harris outperformed
mister Trump with the quote unquote nunsns. These are voters
who reported no religion and they went for her sixty

(01:13:39):
nine to twenty nine percent. But don't let the nun
part kid you. The Democratic Party today holds orthodoxies, pieties,
and heresies every bit as dogmatic and unyielding as a
traditional religion. And it's the reason so many Democrats are
responding to the election results by not by re exams

(01:14:00):
emming their own policy positions, but by blaming the voters
for their apostasy those brilliant points. As I for the
last week watched these commentators and talking heads and meltdowns,
what happened? What happened. Why did women abandon this? All

(01:14:21):
these evil men are the responsible for the election of
Donald Trump. No, it wasn't that. Going back to my
comment about whether God had anything to do with the
outcome of this election, No, you did. You looked out
into the world. You ask yourself a question, am I
better off now than almost four years ago? You looked
at the policies that this religion that the left calls

(01:14:43):
itself the Democratic Party is pushing down your throat. You know,
men can't become women. You reject it outright. You see
the outrageous spending, the government handouts, the picking and choosing
of winners and losers, you reject that outright. No, you've learned.
God didn't lay hands on it. You saw the reality

(01:15:05):
of it and went a different direction. And they can't
manage the fact that their religion is not appealing, and
that all the proselytizing of the world saying men should
be allowed to play sports and games women isn't going
to convince you that that's an appropriate course of action
for your family or this country. Six point fifty here

is a terrific product that is the ultimate bottom line.
Your bottom line is really the bottom line, but your
comfort is also the bottom line. You want a more
comfortable home in the winter and the summertime. USA premium
foam to the rescue your HVAC system will run as
long to keep your home at whatever temperature you desire,

(01:15:50):
all things being equal, with the foam in the walls,
you will literally save enough money to pay for the
product over the life. In fact, Jeff my favorite illustration
his USA phone pay for itself after just two years.

Speaker 12 (01:16:02):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
I don't know that's going to be your case, but
at ninety nine dollars a month interest free, it's a
very small amount of money to enjoy the immediate comfort
you gain with the foam and the long term savings.
Plus it keeps the mice and critters out too. It's
just the sort of a side benefit you get from
the phone. You get a twelve hundred dollars energy tax
credit for doing the right thing by insulating your home,

(01:16:23):
and it's the highest r value on the market. Do
you need it old homes, definitely yes, But if you
ha new er homes something say mid seventies and after,
just call them and the inspection is free. They'll figure
out what you've got in the walls. Because USA foam
can go in with an under insulated home like say
R twelve, like my daughter's home. AD So go with

I am going to give Hank a quick shot. Hank,
welcome to the program. You have a less than a minute.
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 13 (01:17:05):
All right, welcome back, Brian, Thank you. So I just
wanted to make a comment about all those women that
are gonna shape their heads and cut their men's sex
lives off. One of the byproducts I can see of
that is there's probably gonna be fewer abortions and fewer
sexually transmitted diseases.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
It is true. And you know, every woman who has
uttered those words, you know I'm gonna cut sex off.
I know. Beauty is subjective, clearly subjective. We all have
our own look and our own preferences, but none of
them fall into the category of my strike zone. And
I'm fifty nine years old and my strike zone has
gotten bigger and bigger every year I have been alive.

(01:17:47):
Appreciate the call man Tocoa, brilliant man. He is the
return of Jack added in Wednesdays for the Big Picture
that's coming up after the top of the ar News
ever changing world. There's one constant you can depend on.
Fifty five KRC, the talk station at the top end,
bottom of the hour, seven oh six, fifty five r

(01:18:21):
s E Talk Station. A very happy Wednesday to you,
Brian Thomas, thankfully welcoming back to the fifty five RC
Morning Show. Always a good day, but even better when
he can take the burden off me having to speak.
Jack added in with the Big Picture. Jack, welcome back,
my dear friend. Is it always a pleasure to have
you on the show.

Speaker 14 (01:18:41):
Good morning, Brian. We're all glad you're back, doped up
or not, and it's been great to hear you talking
about our new doge, the Department of Government Efficiency under
Elon and Vivek Batman and Robin. Yes, government efficiency does
not have to be an oxymoron. You know, most of

(01:19:04):
the new jobs that have been created, this is true.
Under Biden and Harris, they've been going to immigrants or
government workers, and that's going to be reversed.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
Folks.

Speaker 14 (01:19:15):
If you think the far left feels awful about Donald
Trump winning, wait till he keeps achieving success after success
on growth and jobs, energy, inflation, the border, and most
of all, peace through strength. And yet, Brian, that will
still not convince people who call Trump a vulgar moron,

(01:19:39):
because those people need to believe that they are elite,
and more than anything, what makes them feel elite is
the newspaper that defines them, The New York Times. The
vast majority of so called progressives where I lived for
many years Manhattan, may not subscribe to the Constant, with

(01:20:00):
its strict limits on federal power and its pledge to
protect God given individual rights starting with freedom of speech
and quickly going to the Second Amendment. But woke New
Yorkers do subscribe to The Times. If you want to
be smart, superior, sophisticated, Unfolding the Times over coffee and

(01:20:23):
a bagel every morning is the favorite way for the
woke to wake up, even if you've never even visited
New York. Listen to this back in Mobile, Alabama, where
My wife grew up Amesley Knew, an eccentric old lady
who lived picture this Brian in a wooden tower in
the middle of the woods. When we visited her there

(01:20:46):
there were books and pictures everywhere, on the walls and
on a central coffee table. The latest edition of the
New York Times. Times was always liberal, going all the
way back to the eighteen nineties, but back then liberal
was not woke. Liberal actually meant standing up to the

(01:21:07):
established elites, who at that time were mostly Republican Democrats
fought for what progressives today called garbage. Today, the masthead
of the Times looks the same as it did under
great old time editors, the last one ab Rosenthal, But
its motto all the news that's fit to print now

(01:21:29):
means all the news that fits the Times elite agenda,
and you may not know it. I tried to fight
this here in Cincinnati and lost. But almost every newspaper
and radio and TV station across the country uses the
Times wire service as a Kamala type teleprompter. The Times

(01:21:51):
and the equally woke Associated Press, and also Reuters, they
set the agenda for the entire mainstream media. Even though
The Times has jettisoned all journalistic standards of accuracy and balance.
It's now an arm of the Democrat Party, which itself
is an arm of globalists out for short term profits.

(01:22:14):
As we've often discussed, they despised the American idea of
liberty and justice and prosperity for all, even deplorables whose
jobs have been shipped overseas. Now forgive me for mentioning this.
I do it only to show that I'm not envious
of the ivy elitue snobs who run the New York Times.

(01:22:35):
Because I briefly worked for the Times. I don't think
I ever told you that Bruh. I did not know
that they paid very well for my drawings. I did
editorial drawings, and they could not have been nicer. I
also went to the same universities as the elites, including
the Times incubator, Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism, which really

(01:22:57):
used to teach journalism, Butmia now awards the New York
Times pulit surprises they come from Columbia for lying about
the Russia Russia Russia hoax and the sixteen to nineteen
project that teaches kids America's founding was not about freedom
it was about slavery. Even though establishment media have to

(01:23:20):
follow the lead of their networks and corporate owners and
the New York Times. My lucky is Bray came like you, Brian,
when I quit practicing law and got a job here
in Ohio because a remarkable number of people here share
our values faith, family, merit. As you talked about earlier opportunity,

(01:23:42):
not government outcomes. Those are the values of Donald J. Trump,
as well as Middletown's own JD Vance, Cincinnati's Verbaic Ramaswami,
and perhaps the most transformative man in the world who
now supports Trump. What is that to the man who
shoots off rockets, brings them back to be hugged back

(01:24:04):
on Earth, brings emergency satellite communication to Trump supporters ravaged
by hurricanes when FEMA, as you just discussed, passes the
may because they're Trump supporters. The man who shows how
to run his own companies efficiently and is now going
to do the same for the federal government. Elon Musk, Folks,

(01:24:28):
we have to stop glorifying celebrities that we now know
got paid for endorsing Kamala Harris. I know we have
to stop taking our cues from institutions like the Ivy
League and The New York Times that live off past
glory but are now bloated with dei mediocrities. The Times

(01:24:49):
is no longer the newspaper of record. We get a truer,
fuller record from the king of new media, Joe Rogan,
Trump and JD. Vance each talk with him for three hours.
Kamala Harris wouldn't dare she let sixty minutes stitch together
a few coherent stammerings the woke left, not just in America,

(01:25:12):
but also in the place where now the Dems want
to flee, Canada and also the UK. They now censored dissent,
They censored truth. The left has no policies that help
people outside their elite circles, so they lie about Donald
Trump's policies. But as we saw on election Day, the

(01:25:32):
real news got out to people of both sexes, all races, religions,
and sexual preferences, and that truth has set us free.

Speaker 1 (01:25:43):
So if you can talk indeed, no, no, no no.
I wrote down a few notes earlier on when you
were talking with The New York Times. You said you
mentioned in pursuit of short term profits, and I wanted
to use that as a springboard to get your thoughts on.
I know it's a religion. I was talking to that.
I read that William mcgerrn a column I've mentioned. You know,

(01:26:05):
climate change is being a religion for so many people.
It's just pounded into our children's heads at the point where,
you know, to refute it is like, you know, asking
a Christian to renounce Jesus Christ himself. But they are
so you know, surrounded in this echo chamber that America
resoundly rejected from a policy and a sort of a

(01:26:28):
theocracy standpoint, this religion. They are they going to wake
up to that reality and move back toward something that
represents true journalism and journalistic integrity or have we just
given up the ghosts of those gays? Those days gone?
Because if you look out there in the world, I
mean what, MSNBC lost half of their already small audience

(01:26:52):
after the election. CNN has been losing viewers and readers
of their content now steadily for years and have very
few left to show that this and the election itself,
with the popular vote going almost five million more for
Trump than Kamala Harris, Is this a lesson that they

(01:27:13):
will learn? And will they change their ways. No, no,
that didn't take long.

Speaker 14 (01:27:19):
We talk about media as though it has a mind
of its own, a collective mind of its employees. It
doesn't work that way. Media represents its owners. The Times
owners used to live in a country where you had
a back and forth between the parties, where everybody cared
about a middle class. It was a different country. The
Times is now owned by people in America and Mexico,

(01:27:41):
by the way, you know that are globalists and they
don't care about these things, the short term profits. We
had to talk years ago. I don't know if you
remember about Amesley's father, a banker in Alabama, who gave
me that talk. You know, he said, that's what's ruining
the country. People look to the next court. They don't
look to the next generation, and they don't look outside

(01:28:03):
of their own personal interests. But that's why we talked
about Jeff Bezos, you know, who bought the Washington Post
as a toy for himself until he realized that it
was impacting his real business, Amazon. And you know now
he's you know, he's rethinking things. And see, you shouldn't
endorse anybody in this election.

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
See that's my point. You're not going to make profit
with a dwindling, ever dwindling audience. That's my point. Will
they wake up if they if they hope to make
a profit, they're going to have to have a much
broader appeal among the masses, which necessitates them coming up
with some sort of at least centrist maybe left leaning,
but centrist, none the left way of reporting. Just report

(01:28:46):
the facts, ma'am, and maybe you'll get people to go
back to reading what you what you're putting out there.
But it's to me, it's a recipe for disaster. We
do have Joe Rogan, now eighty million people watch that.
That's a that's a reach. You know. The New York
Times used to have that. They just don't have anymore.
So we have other sources of information and they can

(01:29:06):
scream misinformation and disinformation and want to censor you know,
this article, that article, this voice, that voice on various platforms.
But you can answer Joe Logan. He's just a conversation
at the ultimate free speech, and people are paying attention
to it. It's actually renalism, asking a question and having
whoever is sitting there being interviewed provide the information directly

(01:29:27):
from their mouth.

Speaker 14 (01:29:29):
You know, you're talking about a seat change and the
way we get our news. And we can't go into
this in detail now, but you know we've had seat
changes before, before the Industrial Revolution, when most people lived
out on farms. I'm thinking now mostly about Britain because
America was just taking shape. People got their news from
the pulpit, or they got it from the local lord.

(01:29:50):
With the Industrial Revolution, as more people moved to cities,
suddenly they got their information from newspapers. They didn't have
to listen to established authority, and the news papers, of course,
jostled for different kinds of audiences. Now we're moving beyond newspapers,
beyond television, beyond radio. At some point people will still

(01:30:10):
wake up and hear you, because I mean, I'm just
addicted and also I love you. But it's everything is changing.
And yes, Bezos and the owners of the Times, the
Saltzburger's and the Slims, you know, they bet on the
wrong horse. Yes, if they think that suddenly we're all
going to go back to reading the New York Times.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
Well, neutrality is always the best way. I mean for corporations,
for example, to take sides in a culture war. That's
a recipe for disaster, you're going to piss off half
of your market. Stay cool, keep quiet, and don't take
a side on that. You're going to do well. If
you're a journalist, just report the facts, Report what one
side saying, Report what the other side's saying. Give land

(01:30:50):
the who, what, when, where and why. I think you're
always on safe ground doing that. You don't alienate people,
and you provide solid, reliable information, and that well increases
your reputation and more people will. I think we'll turn
to you. Maybe maybe not. I don't know if I'm
right or wrong on this one, Jack Addiden, but I
know I love having you on the show, appreciate the compliments,
and I enjoy that the idea that you listen to

(01:31:11):
my program is a distinct honor, my friend. I just
think the world of your intellect and your brilliance, and
I'm glad you're on the show every week with the
big picture, and I know folks will be looking for
your podcast, produced by the incomparable Joe Strecker Brian.

Speaker 14 (01:31:24):
Before going, can I just mention quickly because it's so important.
There are still about two hours left this morning before
this conclave gets together to get in touch with Republican senators.
Doesn't have to be here in Ohio. Get in touch
with anybody you can and urge them to make Senator
Rick Scott majority leader. The former entrepreneur and Florida governor.

(01:31:46):
He is infinitely more fit than his establishment rivals to
help make America great again.

Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
You heard it from Jack Adiden. I don't have any
disagreement with you, Jack until next Wednesday, my dear friend,
stay away. We have a wonderful week and love and
happiness to you and your better half. Ceiling the globe's
future in terms of the climate, religion they're pressing down
upon us.

Speaker 6 (01:32:13):
Yeah, yeah, right, twenty nine years in counting. You know,
none of the major leaders are attending this year and
it's in Baku, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
And apparently the head of the leader of the country
views petro oil and gas as a gift from God.
And how dare anybody tell him that he's not allowed
to extract that and get it out to the world,
a world which demands and uses these products every single
day to survive.

Speaker 6 (01:32:43):
Yes, absolutely, And you know, Brian, I think the wheels
are starting to come off of some of the more
left leaning versions when it comes to comes to energy.

Speaker 1 (01:32:56):
Right, it's just you can write Greta Thunberg off.

Speaker 6 (01:33:01):
Well, you know, she's going to be out there, and
she's going to be out there for a while. And
I suspect we'll look back on this time and go, huh,
we listened to.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
A hysterical twelve year old.

Speaker 6 (01:33:13):
Yeah, yeah, that was actually a create.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
Emotionally, she's still twelve emotionally.

Speaker 6 (01:33:17):
Well in the creation of her parents and left leaning organizations,
right as the poster child.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
You know, I've mentioned that before. I have never ever
bought into this nons I still call it nonsense that,
you know, given all the ebbs and flows of the
global temperatures over the millennium, I mean, we've had the Earth.
It's just you cannot just stop and one day say
all the other climate changes that this globe has experienced,

(01:33:45):
just we're on their own, and then immediately say, well,
as of the global or after the Industrial Revolution, it's
all on us now we are responsible for every weather
event that comes our way. Yeah, just nonsense. We're going
to look back on this and I hopefully laugh at ourselves.
We have been victims of the biggest global scam. P. T.

(01:34:07):
Barnum couldn't have thought this up in his wildest dream.

Speaker 6 (01:34:11):
You know, it is green. The only thing green about
it though, is the money.

Speaker 1 (01:34:16):
Yeah, global wealthy distribution. This is how they characterize it.

Speaker 6 (01:34:20):
Absolutely and yeah, it is part of that sort of
that global elitism. And you know, quite frankly, what's been
very difficult for me to understand it. And last Friday
at Hudson we had an all day conversation with our
friends from Canada about North American energy independence and how
we can continue to link up on certain things, is
that it is difficult for me to believe that in

(01:34:44):
this day and age we would have politicians and administration
that would give away unilateral disarmament of what could be
our number one strength in the country, that is our
energy independence, no.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
Question about it.

Speaker 6 (01:34:58):
So today, I know the landscape has changed a little
bit post election, and I think if we look at
the new president, the new administration of Donald J. Trump,
we're going to see a return to a lot of
different things. But one of those is to restore American
energy independence and replace subjective criteria with objective criteria, meaning

(01:35:26):
that the president wants us to have energy that is
available wherever and whenever we need it, and that it
is more affordable than what we have seen here as
of late.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
In other words, solutions that are good for America, regular
consistent energy supply at a price that does not put
us into bankruptcy. Interesting concept of.

Speaker 6 (01:35:50):
That, Well, it's common sense, right, And I think that
the world.

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
We used to run on things like that. And I
know there's always been winners and losers being chosen by
elected officials. Thus it has ever been But I mean
it's I don't think it's any ever been any more
egregious than in connection with this so called Green New
Deal type stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:36:11):
You know, Brian, I don't doubt that at some point
in the future we will have energy. We will continue
to have new emerging energy resources that result in fewer
emissions and not just you know, we're so fixated on
CO two, which is point one four of one percent
of the atmosphere. But you know, there are other gases,

(01:36:34):
there are pollutants, there are things out there that will
continue to work on. But you know, the America has
reduced if you want to keep score, America has reduced
its greenhouse gas emissions and CO two greater than any
other industrialized country by just being smart and making some
common sense decisions. Nuclears on the rise. We talked about

(01:36:56):
that a lot last last week. Even fish is on
the horizon with several demonstration machines coming out before the
end of this decade. So that energy mix is going
to change. But there is no reason, and I know
the new president believes there is no reason to tie
your hands behind your back and jump in the deep

(01:37:18):
end of the pool, while China says here, good gully.
Another two coal places popped up this week. That's so weird.
How did that happen?

Speaker 1 (01:37:26):
Yeah, and I think that I saw that site. It
is one of the reasons some of the countries aren't
attending this. The Global cop twenty nine is for that
reason alone. You know, wait a second, why I'm over
here cutting my throat, bust to my hump, reducing my
available energy. Look at Germany has almost put itself into
bankruptcy over this. One of the most powerful economic engines

(01:37:49):
in the world has now been reduced to sort of
ashes and over this the zero carbon emissions crap.

Speaker 6 (01:37:57):
It is, and it just goes to show that great
countries can take a wrong turn that is literally fueled
by this religion.

Speaker 1 (01:38:08):
It is religion, it is and you know.

Speaker 6 (01:38:11):
Meanwhile, the other thing I'd love for us to keep
in mind that China wants to see US unilaterally disarm
and I don't mean just the military, but I mean economically.
And so for example, when we have a new pharmaceutical
company try to spin up in America, China dumps pharmaceuticals
in the US to kill that new startup. This is

(01:38:31):
how these people roll, and they want our auto industry
to go away. They want us to be dependent on
them because people that are dependent are weak.

Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
Well, and they will create dependence because it's all ready
cheaper to do business in China because they have no
environmental rules, they have no OSHA protections, they have nothing
by way of the rules, regulations and things that we
in hurdles we have to jump to even stay in business.
So of course, and by making us back our or
cut our own throats as I like to call it,

(01:39:02):
and rely on windmills and solar panels that we parenthetically
have to buy from them that don't provide us an
abundance of energy. Back over to where we are with
Trump going forward, We've been through the other stuff. What
are we going to see legitimately going forward? Here Breagham.

Speaker 6 (01:39:20):
That's a great question. I think we can first look
at his first term energy policy, which is focused on
achieving what he calls energy dominance, and that's prioritizing domestic production,
deregulation of the industry, which adds substantial cost and we
don't think about that. But all these federal regulations, and
some of them, quite honestly, are pretty silly. They don't
add value, but they add to the cost of everything

(01:39:41):
we buy. And a shift away from these climate agreements
like the Paris Accord, these priorities are going to be
emphasized along with the energy independence, economic growth, and national security.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
It's that simple. Well, including the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve.
I'd like to think we might start filling that up.
So Biden paying lip service to doing that again after
he trained it in the name of trying to get
himself elected.

Speaker 6 (01:40:06):
Yeah, you know, it's been drained to our lowest level
in decades and two.

Speaker 4 (01:40:10):
I think yes, And some people.

Speaker 6 (01:40:12):
Argue, well, we don't need it any longer because we
have a lot more domestic production. But you know, if
something hits the fan, so to speak, you don't know,
and you know you don't to drain your bank account
when you don't know what's around the corner, with especially
how volatile geopolitically the world is today, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:40:29):
Isn't that the point? I mean, we're all told, I mean,
federal guidelines online will tell you at least have several
days of non perishable food in your home, just in
case that's not quite enough. I don't ever want to
use the non perishable food that I have stored away
for that day. I don't ever want that day to come,

(01:40:50):
but there it is, just in case it does, and
that gives me peace of mind. That's isn't that the
strategic drolling oil reserve?

Speaker 6 (01:40:56):
It is, and it was originally envisioned to give us
ninety days where the lie and to be fair, nobody's
actually gotten it to ninety days because at twelve ish
million barrels a day, that's a lot of oil, but
less than a couple of weeks. That would make me nervous.

Speaker 1 (01:41:12):
And if we go with nuclear and we have modular
nuclear reactors, one size, kind of fits all platform, those
can be built not for billions and billions of dollars
over a period of fifteen years of rules and regulations.
They could go online rather quickly by comparison to the
way we have to go through now. If you get
rid of these ridiculous regulations.

Speaker 6 (01:41:30):
Yeah, it sure does, and I think you will see,
especially with the announcement yesterday of AVEC and Papa Elon
as I like to call them, the Doach Team. I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
I'm excited, so happy about that. They're going to hit
the ground running with the scissors and they're going to
cut wherever they possibly can. And you know what, I
don't think there's a man, woman, or child in America
that'll even notice the loss of those government jobs, with
the exception of the families of those who no longer
have jobs in government.

Speaker 4 (01:41:56):
Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.

Speaker 6 (01:41:57):
And back in the Navy days, Brian, we call that
a target rich environment.

Speaker 1 (01:42:01):
No question about it. And getting rid of the Department
of Education, it really has not been around since. I mean,
it was the Reagan it was the Reagan era, was
a Carter administration thing. But we live without the Department
of Education up till that one in our country apparently
was able to live, thrive and survive and prosper pretty
damn well.

Speaker 6 (01:42:17):
Yes, And you know, while I'm not an expert over there.
I can tell you that since the Department of Education
has been around, we have only lost standing. We've only
slipped in the in the world polls of highly educated people. So,
you know, a lot of these cabinet agencies people think
have been around.

Speaker 1 (01:42:35):
No, no, no, you know it was the.

Speaker 6 (01:42:37):
Department of War, Treasury, Commerce, and not even commerce there
but the Coast Guard and you know things. A lot
of these agencies came into being in the sixties and seventies.
And once you create it, even if you solve the problem,
they don't leave. And if you don't solve the problem,
they only get bigger.

Speaker 1 (01:42:57):
No quote. And they're not in the jobs in the
business solve problems. They solve a problem, they're out of
a job. That's not what they're all about. Why it
doesn't work anyway, Bring him account. I wish we could
talk longer. Hudson Institute. And he's you're gonna be part
of the administration right with energy policy?

Speaker 6 (01:43:11):
Oh well, we'll we'll.

Speaker 8 (01:43:13):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:43:13):
There's a rumor, but I.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
That's not a no. That's not a no. I'm gonna
take that as a definite possibility. Bring him. It's wonderful
to have you on the show. And have access to
your intellect when it comes to energy policy. We're doing
again very very soon. If you five care see the
talk station. Hope everyone had a wonderful veteran's day in studio.

(01:43:37):
Steve Belzo from the Claremont County Veteran Services, it's always
great seeing you, Steve and having you in studio. Thanks
for your service to our country and your ongoing service
to the American veteran.

Speaker 4 (01:43:46):
Brian, it is a good day to be in studio
with the veteran support that you are in arms of us,
so you make sure for what you do.

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
I got all your guys and gals backs when it
comes to back. I just I have such a profound
appreciation for the American veteran. In fact, since I've been sick,
I was watching old you know, World War two, Korean War.
They had all the old movies on sunder, classic movies,
and I just get the biggest kick out of that.
And I just love watching his old movies anyway, patriotism,

(01:44:17):
and they make you feel patriotic and really proud of
the hard work and the sacrifice of the American veteran
has made for their country. So let's talk about the
Clemont County Veterans Services. Every day's Veterans Day there.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
Every day is Veterans Day, and you know it's three
sixty five. The great thing is, I'm glad we didn't
say every day is Memorial Day. Right, So let's make
that mist Let's divide the two.

Speaker 12 (01:44:44):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:44:44):
The American public still needs educated on the difference of
the two. You go to a memorial for Uncle Joe
when he passes away. Memorial Day is recognizing the sacrifice
of life that our patriots have bild their life on
foreign soils protecting the ideals of this country. That is

(01:45:05):
Memorial Day.

Speaker 1 (01:45:05):
And it's not happy Memorial Day. It's the day of remember,
thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (01:45:10):
And it's not a day to ask, oh, all you
veterans please stand up to be recognized. No, no, let's
let's get this right, America.

Speaker 12 (01:45:17):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:45:18):
It's it's gold star mothers. Have them stand up so
we can comfort them on the loss of their loved
ones that they've lent to the country for our freedom.
But nonetheless, it is Veteran's Day every sense.

Speaker 1 (01:45:29):
So in the Kanimer County Veterans Services, I'm always amazed
when we talk we'll talk about one thing or another.
You know, the pack deck. You'll dive deep into what
that does or something, but what the broader services that
the Veteran services offices have their available for the American
veteran It's it's really the I think the point is

(01:45:50):
one stop shopping for the multitude of resources. I mean
the resources that you'll connect veterans with that transcend just
your office. You know where everything is to be found
out in the world, and you help the veterans easily
connect with that. That's the point of your being there.

Speaker 4 (01:46:08):
Absolutely, it's the alpha to Omega. It's the A to Z.
It's the from the start to the end of anything
that deals with the veterans affairs, especially in the health
Department and compensation and benefits, as well as underpinning that
with emergency financial assistance for veterans who are in need
in a moment's notice. So it's really kind of full scope.

Speaker 1 (01:46:30):
It really is. And of course you can explain to
the American veterans, you know, again like things like the
pack deck, but also how they can get their benefits.
I know I've always encouraged my veteran friends out there.
You get a D two to fourteen audible discharge, sign
up for your your VA benefits. A lot of veterans
don't do that, and for a multitude of reasons, and

(01:46:52):
it always kind of shocks me that there's still that
perception out there among the veteran community that somehow the
by signing up for their VA benefits or taking away
something from someone else is clearly not the case.

Speaker 4 (01:47:09):
You're right, You're absolutely right, and this is some of
the internal frustration. We all are well aware of. The
idiom spend it or lose it. Spend her to lose it, right,
you've got a budget, spend her to lose it because
we're going to readjust next year. But many of the
veterans think, if I go to the VA and I
receive of these services, that means somebody worse off than
me is not going to receive. But the fact is,

(01:47:33):
until we consume, we can't receive more. And what we
don't want is a readjustment lower. So, if you're a veteran,
sign up and come to the office and let's get
you sign up for your healthcare or other benefits that
you are deserving.

Speaker 1 (01:47:48):
The folks that are working on with the Veteran Services
Claimant County Veteran Services Office. I'm talking specifically since we
get steep bells in here, But I don't want to
discount the other Veteran Services commissions out at all. They're
all there to do the same type of thing, whether
it's Butler County or Claremont County.

Speaker 13 (01:48:03):
So, but.

Speaker 1 (01:48:05):
I imagine that the folks that you work with have
that sense of pride and honor in the work that
they do, and they're they're highly trained at what they do,
are they not?

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:48:15):
Absolutely? And the unique thing is that one all my
service officers are veterans themselves. We cover all the branches.
I don't have a Coast d a Coast guardman on
board on staff yet anyway.

Speaker 8 (01:48:30):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:48:30):
I don't have a space for us yet they yet
to land to provide me somebody that's accident.

Speaker 8 (01:48:35):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:48:35):
So nonetheless, it's it's coming from a position of understanding,
a position of service of a lot of the veterans
going for counseling don't enjoy it because the counselors don't
understand our language, our acronyms or verbiage that we use,
and so they're constantly defining for the counselor what does

(01:48:59):
that mean? The great thing about coming to my box
and SNAFU roger that right, So it's I won't go
into what those acronyms mean. Figure even go ahead and
look it up what SNAFU means, but it is situation normal.
When they come in to receive their services. You can
talk naturally with us because we understand not only what

(01:49:23):
you're saying, but where you're coming from, and we don't
stop you to define that for me.

Speaker 12 (01:49:28):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:49:29):
So, yeah, it is a little it's a more comfortable
area to come in and speak to a service officer well.

Speaker 1 (01:49:36):
And that's one of the things, one of the reasons
that I'm such a strong encourager of getting the veterans
getting the VA benefits. Again, you're working with a group
of people who does come from the background, like, for example,
if you're in need of some you know, mental health services,
a lot of veterans are, and there's no stigma associated
with anymore. I mean, more and more people are reaching

(01:49:56):
out getting the help they need, which is great, We're
going to make us all better people. But you're walking
into an environment where you're dealing with people who get
the core the core differences between like Brian Thomas coming
in getting counseling versus the serviceman or woman who you
know spent their life four years, five years and you know,

(01:50:17):
kicking doors in Fallujah or serving overseas, or just being
in that cohesive, very structured environment for years, only to
come out into a world that is a maze of
confusion and lack of discipline. I can't imagine that.

Speaker 4 (01:50:33):
Yeah, absolutely so. If you think of the hub and
spoke rule, my office is the hub and there are
many spokes coming off of it, between connection with the VA,
benefits with the VA, counseling, social activities, job employments. There
are a various companies five to one C three's landing

(01:50:54):
on my doorstep saying we want to help veterans. So
go to the hub to figure out which folk you
need to push out on instead of trying to research
all of this stuff on your own.

Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
And like everything, there are pitfalls out in the world.
And this is why you really encourage veterans. For example,
don't fill out your own forms, go to the Claarmont
County Veterans Services and let them do it, because they're
going to keep you out all out of these pitfalls
and these traps you might find yourself in.

Speaker 4 (01:51:21):
You know, I listened. I was watching a game on
television the other night and an NFL player was asked
a question, why do you guys do what you do?
And he responded, because that's what we do. We do
what we do, right, And so to break that down,
they do now from our perspective, Abe Blancln post a

(01:51:42):
civil war and said, we will take care of our
veterans who have borne the battle for their widow and
for their orphan and that is the underpinning, that is
the mantra of what we do at the county service level.
And that's all counties in Ohio. And whether listeners understanders

(01:52:04):
or not, is we're almost an anomaly that Ohio Revised
Code has in its language that every county will have
a Veteran Service office. That is not the case across
the nation. We are funded, there's a mandate in the
Ohio Revice Code of how we are to be funded

(01:52:27):
by the county government.

Speaker 1 (01:52:29):
Well, I'm happy to be an Ohio taxpayer since at
least part of that is going to help the American
veteran in their families.

Speaker 4 (01:52:36):
Well, and you asked a great question. So why should
a veteran come see us as a lawyer. Is it
better to go and represent yourself as a normal citizen,
or is it better to hire a lawyer to represent
you in front of the legal process He or she
who represents themselves as a fool for a client.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
We all know that work with the experts, work with
the people, and you know you may learn something while
you're there talking to them. You go in to maybe
have them help you get your VA benefits, and then
you find out that I do qualify for the Packed Act,
or I do qualify for this, or there's this other
service that they offer that I wasn't even aware of.
To learn more online, it's easy to just go to

(01:53:15):
Claremont Kenny Veterans dot com. You can find about the services,
get in touch with them. They're there to help you,
So help them to help you. Don't fill the form out,
let them do it. Steve Belsa, it is always a
pleasure talking with you. Thank God for your service to
our country and your ongoing support of the American veteran.
You know, I'm always here for you to spread the
news and I'm happy to be in a position to

(01:53:37):
do that.

Speaker 14 (01:53:39):
Keep them busy with the college.

Speaker 1 (01:53:40):
Talk about it.

Speaker 15 (01:53:41):
You never mind what's going on in the news. All
this is a diversion.

Speaker 1 (01:53:44):
Fifty five KARC kay Tato six here, fifty five KRCD
Talk station. Hope you having a happy Wednesday. A little
disappointed this morning, kicking it better late than never. We'll
do it tomorrow. Congressman Tom Massey apparently ran into a
bit of a hiccup this morning. I've obviously got something

(01:54:05):
more important to do than spend time with the fifty
five gaars of the morning. You and I probably could
come up with the list on my own without even
consulting him. But he extends his apologies, and again we're
going to try to get him on tomorrow some sort
of again, last minute hiccup that was me using the

(01:54:26):
cough button. I've been apologizing all morning and now it's
just getting worse. My prescription strengths cough syrup, which lasts
twelve hours, officially ran out six minutes ago, so it
really is. It's showing. I'm amazed, Golee, but it could
get one thousand dollars out on the street if I

(01:54:47):
tried to sell this stuff. Not that I'm going to
do it, but thank you to my doctor for calling
it in because it was the first good night sleep
I've gotten last night and I for last five or
six days. So if you've got this CVS or whatever
the hell it is, you got this deep crackly cough,
it's really deep in your lungs. Uh, that's mine and
that's why I was out last couple of days. So

(01:55:08):
thanks again to Kevin Gordon for covering for me. Just
figure I got to get back to work at some point.
Wanted to talk about everything that's going on in the world,
and still gonna be looking forward judging Nita Polton at
the bottom of this hour. If you like take some
of the shoulders, some of the burden of conversation, feel
free to call. Maybe you got a topic that I
haven't been over this morning, or maybe you heard something
you want to talk about. Five one, three, seven, four,

(01:55:29):
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
three Talk Time five fifty on AT and T phone.
If you just tuning in, you missed the big picture
with Jack Adam and talking about the New York Times.
They all went so far left, and I actually think
there is a possibility maybe it's me, hope against Hope
and disagreeing with Jack a little bit that maybe they

(01:55:50):
learned a lesson that all the wailing and gnashing and
teeth coming from the left trying to figure out how
is that they lost to evil Orange Man. Oh my god,
I can't believe it. Women blaming you know, the their
husbands or some nonsensical garbage like that, And what an

(01:56:13):
offensive campaign they ran, I mean, just belittling, belittling, so
many people calling names. If your campaign consists on name calling,
I'm sorry you have nothing to run on. Then maybe
they recognize that during the penancy of the campaign that

(01:56:33):
they had nothing to run on, nothing to be proud of.
They weren't out there running on you know, the woke
ideology or gender pronouns or transgender you know, inroads, the economy,
the inflation. They weren't running They couldn't. These are all

(01:56:55):
the kitchen table issues that you and I have to
contend with day and in, day out.

Speaker 7 (01:56:59):
You know, we.

Speaker 1 (01:57:02):
Want someone who's capable and competent, someone who's actually willing
to you know, for example, as Jack mentioned, sit down
and talk with elon with Joe Rogan for three hours.
Kamala Harris had the opportunity to do that, and she didn't.
Why do you think that is I sit down with

(01:57:27):
anybody and talk with them for three hours, I mean,
assuming it's my schedule, But why would I be afraid.
I mean to talk four hours every day, and I'm
going to get to the phones right now. Thankfully people
came to my rescue. But you know, I am who
I am. I believe what I believe. You can feel
free to discuss whether or not you think I'm right
or wrong on any given topic, but I'm happy to
talk about it with you. I think I have better

(01:57:48):
ideas for government than someone like a big government person
like Kamala Harris. I'd sit down with her and I
talk with her for three hours if she wanted. She
apparently wasn't up to the challenge. And you know, the
American people can see that you can't run a campaign
from a basement if COVID isn't around. Yeah, Biden got
away with it, but we knew who Joe Biden was.

(01:58:08):
Emphasize the past tense was who he was is, not
who we got after we took a flyer and elected
him president, and then we find ourselves in the aftermath,
you know, like phoenix rising from the ashes. She's gonna
come out and convince us that she's the right way
to go, and she won't answer a single question. It's preposterous.

(01:58:33):
So maybe the left has learned their lesson. Maybe they
will become more centrists, Maybe they will become more appealing
to the American voter, because obviously the American voter not
real satisfied with the direction the Democrat Party has gone.
Pick one, Joe, I don't know who's first. I'd be Fred. Fred,
thanks for calling my friend. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 12 (01:58:50):
Hey, well, thanks for taking my call. And once again
you're doing a fantastic show. I always enjoy catching you
when I'm within range, and you do it really fantastic job,
and I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:59:02):
I can't thank you enough. Fred, that means the world
to me.

Speaker 12 (01:59:05):
Well, one thing that I'm thinking might be arising out
there on the horizon, just simply because it's being brought
up on various different agencies and different conversations and that,
and about the Federal Reserve. You got the chairman out
there telling the President that I'm sorry, baby, you can't
fire me. I'm too tough and I don't go by

(01:59:28):
your rules. You have other people stating that, well, this
is not an official government agency, this is independent. There's
a whole lot of awareness that's being raised about the FED,
and then in the background there's always been the conversation
of when the right time would be to end the FED.
And with the Bricks thing going on internationally, I just
wondered what your thoughts were as to whether or not

(01:59:50):
we might on the other side of this and the
FED and join Bricks.

Speaker 1 (01:59:57):
As to the latter, I don't know, because Bricks is
n solidified yet, But as to the former, I think
it's going to take maybe not be a baby step,
but one big step toward a society without the FED
is auditing it and letting the American public know what
is revealed by an audit. That's been something that's been

(02:00:17):
screamed and shouted about on the right hand side of
the ledger of people who are anti FED for years
and years. How come we don't get to audit it.
How come they's so quiet and closed with their books.
They have such a profound impact on the global economy,
you'd think that they would be subjected to a regular
audit and you know, general ransacking of their offices to

(02:00:37):
see what's going on over there. Look how many emails
we find? Look how many secret accounts we find. When
a controversy finally pops up and gets the sunlight of
exposure on it, we find out, Oh wow, you mean
all these people who are supposed to be using government
only emails and for all of their government related communications
are using well other email servers and providers and going

(02:00:59):
under aliases. That's not right. I wonder if that's going
on over at the FED. Legitimate question, but we won't
know until the audit starts. So before you unplug it,
let's give people a good damn reason to unplug it.
I don't think that will be a problem if you
really expose the books and records and the decision making.
Thank you again, Fred Andrew Pappus, God bless you, sir.

(02:01:21):
Welcome to the fifty five Case Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (02:01:23):
Hey Brian, good morning. I hope you listen, man, I
hope you feel better, And if you ever need a break,
let me know. I'll be happy to fill in for
a short segment for you. I don't know that I
could do the whole show, but I'm not up to
your level. But I'm always happy to lend a hand,
my friend, I think you can manage. I do appreciate
the kind offer. Well, I think the ratings might die,
but who knows. Listen, I kinda tell you I am really.

(02:01:46):
So it's been a week, you know, yesterday, and I
gotta tell you, well today really because we found out right.
So I'm very excited so far by the direction the
President is moving with these cabinet and appointment other appointments,
because I think what we're about to witness is truly

(02:02:07):
a very transformative time in how both the government is
run and perceived by the American people. And I'm really
looking forward to more transparency, as you mentioned earlier.

Speaker 1 (02:02:20):
But you know, we really are.

Speaker 7 (02:02:22):
You know, Trump is setting the tone that this is
not business as usual and we are not going to
you know, box ourselves in and and you know, maybe
some of the decisions and a point, you know, no
one is perfect, as we both agree, but other than
maybe some of us close around us. But you know,
I'll say this, I'm not going to agree with everything

(02:02:45):
the guy does, and probably some of the choices I'm
gonna be like, well, you know, maybe I would have
chosen him or her or whatever.

Speaker 15 (02:02:51):
But so far.

Speaker 7 (02:02:52):
I am really not only pleased, but I'm excited for
the first time in a very long time about the
direction that our government seems to be going. And I'm
very much looking forward to the next four years being
not only productive, but quite honestly transformative regarding the federal
government and government in general.

Speaker 1 (02:03:12):
We have an opportunity, most notably during the first two years.
And look, Trump's already acting like he's in office. He's
got already lined up, he's naming members of the cabinet,
he's naming members of the administration. We've got the Department
of Government efficiency to talk about now, with Elon Musk
and Vva Grama swimmy, I mean, I couldn't pick a
better couple of people to pare down the inefficient, absurd

(02:03:35):
size of government than those two. Maybe there's better people
in the world, but Lord Almighty, two of the most
brilliant people did even have any connection with government. And
Lord knows. Elon Musk not actually a government guy. He's
the proven multi billionaire, successful businessmen and is how to
run a business. That's kind of guy in need. He's
like the gentleman farmer, right, coming in, helping out and

(02:03:56):
then going back home.

Speaker 7 (02:03:57):
Well, speaking of farmer, you know, I do a lot
of work with Honor Flight tri States and I've been
to DC several times, not bragging, just stating in fact,
and the one thing that always strikes me the most
about every time I go to d C. And I
hope most people if you're going to go, maybe in
the next few months for an event or whatever now
that you might want to go to DC. You are

(02:04:21):
driving around the mall especially, but everywhere and all these
giant edifices, especially the one that strikes me the most
is the Department of Agriculture. If you are there and
you're driving through DC and you see these just epically
large buildings and you say to yourself, they're all staffed.
I mean, they haven't shrunked their budgets. And you're like,

(02:04:44):
what the amount of colossal waste and mismanagement and inefficiency
in DC is. I guess it's more readily apparent there
because you see it is just it always blows me away,
and you know, we're going by and we're telling the veterans,
you know, this is the Department of this or this
is that, and when we hit Agriculture and there's just
these giant, enormous buildings, and you think, you know, every

(02:05:07):
one of those offices is staff, and you're like.

Speaker 15 (02:05:10):
I've read there's more.

Speaker 7 (02:05:12):
There's more members of the department or staff employees of
the Department of Agriculture than there are actually farms in
the United States. So it's staggering.

Speaker 1 (02:05:22):
Well, there's one area for the Department of Government Efficiency
to have a go at.

Speaker 7 (02:05:27):
Right, No, lie, you do education next. So you know,
I'm looking forward to this, and I think everyone should.
And I think it's going to please you know what.
I think it's going to please a large smath of
a swap of the public. I think that you're going
to have liberals that didn't vote for Trump, or maybe
common sense Democrats or if there's any left, and they're

(02:05:47):
gonna say, you know what, this.

Speaker 15 (02:05:48):
Is quite different.

Speaker 7 (02:05:49):
This is refreshing and a very shall we say, maybe
quite a libertarian view of the government perspective. I'm looking
forward to it.

Speaker 1 (02:05:56):
I am too. And you know what, I think a
lot of people will finally when this stust settles, if
they're successful in pairing back to some degree large or small,
that the pairing back will have zero impact on Americans
other than well allowing us to do business in a freer,
more open market direction. Even if we notice that. But

(02:06:18):
you eradicate the Department of Agriculture today, you'd eradicate the
Department of Education today. I don't see it impacting America
any other any other way, but for the better, right.

Speaker 7 (02:06:28):
I think that I think that at the very least,
you can do a large pruning of those agencies, yes,
and have very little effect on every day americans lives.
And and those are just two you know that can
pop into my head. How many myriads exist that we
may not even know about or be aware of.

Speaker 1 (02:06:45):
So I'm I'm.

Speaker 7 (02:06:46):
Excited, and I'm energized, and I I just think that
this movement, hopefully it grows and we can all come
on board and and and and move this country forward.
So and and and regarding your your your health or
your at least you know you don't feel good. And man,
anytime you need a hand, you just.

Speaker 1 (02:07:03):
Let me know. God bless you, Drew Pavis. I sure
appreciate it. Thanks for calling in today. It's eight nineteen
right now, I got more callers online. We'll see what
we can get in before we get to judge. Anapolitan
at the bottom of the art. Stick around. This is
fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station. For more information, I
think about KRC talkstation. We'll get Congressrom Massey on probably tomorrow.

(02:07:24):
I know he's upset that he wasn't a Bible on
the program, but he had obviously a prioritization to deal with.
So tomorrow we'll still get Judge an Anda Polatana after
this brief segment. And let's start this brief segment with Bob,
who's been kind enough to calling Bob, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 15 (02:07:40):
Good morning, how are you today?

Speaker 1 (02:07:42):
That call? I was gonna say, I have been better,
but I'm glad I'm at work. I will say that
thanks for asking you, but you got a.

Speaker 7 (02:07:50):
Job you love.

Speaker 15 (02:07:50):
That's important. Hey, tell Tungress and Massy that's cool. We
all love him and we forgive him for not being
there today.

Speaker 1 (02:07:58):
He'll be back.

Speaker 15 (02:08:00):
I would like to point out I don't know he
may have covered this. I've retired, so I sleep in.
I'm late sometimes they got about five six o'clock. I'm
pretty lazy. But did you hear the thing where the
women are now going to pro deliberal women are protest
by shaving their heads and then withholding sex from their men.

Speaker 1 (02:08:19):
Yeah, there's channeling lycens strata by Aristota and the it's
a bunch of nonsense. There's probably three of them out there.
They get media attention because they're doing something absolutely batcrap insane.
And if you look at the women that I've seen
that are doing this, I don't know what your strike
zone is. I keep joking. Mine has gotten bigger and
bigger every year of my life. So I'm fifty nine.
I got a strike zone. You could drive a semi

(02:08:39):
tractor trailer through. None of them, not a single one
that I've seen them. Suggesting they would cut off sex
for me would impact my world, and Iota, I am married,
and that's an episode bit beside that I wouldn't care
like good.

Speaker 15 (02:08:55):
I mean, well, now just hang on and just to
prove that as a Republican, a conservative, that I am
as inclusive as anybody could possibly be. Oh yeah, I
will join these I will join these women in their
protest because I tend to shave my head anyway, not
that I'm losing hair anywhere. I just prefer my hair gone.
It's aggravating as crap when it grows out and I

(02:09:18):
will also with hold sex from their husbands.

Speaker 1 (02:09:21):
Very well stated.

Speaker 15 (02:09:21):
I want to make sure that they know, you know,
I'm with them one hundred percent on that.

Speaker 1 (02:09:25):
One hundred percent, And I'm with you on that point too, Bob.
I appreciate your call, interjecting a little humor into the
fifty five Karsceme Morning Show. This morning, we have time
for Pete. Real quick, Pete, welcome to the program. Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 15 (02:09:39):
Hey, look, Brian, thanks for toughing it out with you
with your cough.

Speaker 8 (02:09:43):
There two quick things that you know that one of
your guests brought up about.

Speaker 15 (02:09:46):
The Federal Reserve Board. I looked up they have twenty
two thousand people working for them, and what do they
do all day?

Speaker 7 (02:09:55):
And the other quick point you had talked about whether
the Times would learn lesson one guy I think may
have learned his lesson as Robert de Niro.

Speaker 15 (02:10:04):
I just read that he got fired and he just
lost a twenty million dollars movie contract for running his
stupid mouth.

Speaker 1 (02:10:14):
Ah well, that's just a real heartbreaker. Enjoy the shot down.
Appreciate the call, Pete. Out of time. We got Judge
Enita Polatano coming up next. Always looking forward to talking
to the judge. I hope you do as well. Gitmo
continues to hunt and it does. Judgent Polton will be
up next. Stick around fifty five KRC the talk station.

on It's a real pleasure to have you on today,
and I got to give you credit, sir, probably the
main reason I got out of bed this morning to

(02:11:50):
come to work. I've been dealing with this just insanity
of a cough. But between you and my doctor and
my love and my faithful listeners, I'm holding up my
extra strength. Coughs are up here, your honor.

Speaker 9 (02:12:03):
Without this, it's wonderful to hear your voice, Brian, and
deeply moving that I should play even a tiny role
in your deciding to get out of bed in the morning.
I too love these segments on Wednesday mornings, no matter
what's going on in the world, because we are so
simpotico in our view of the world. But thank you

(02:12:27):
for coming in today. You actually sound fine from my perspective.
I know you have a lot of whatever they put
in cough medicine these.

Speaker 1 (02:12:35):
Days in you, but you sound fine. It is My
doctor even told me that, pardon me, sometimes the pharmacist
won't even fill this prescription. It's the good stuff. So
I had it last night at eight pm, at last
twelve hours, and it's really just now wearing off, and
I'm not going to have any before I drive home
this morning because I probably get it pulled over from

(02:12:55):
being compaired with it. But it does work.

Speaker 9 (02:12:58):
But the Chief Justice of the end United States, William Rehnquist,
was pulled over and charged with d WI because he
had been taking painkillers for a slip disc in his back. Obviously,
they dismissed the case because it wasn't d WI, but
he was driving erratically.

Speaker 1 (02:13:18):
Yeah, well, those things can happen. No, it's only a
ten minute commute for me to get back on anyhow
you're on or So, I guess I wanted to ask
you before we get into your wonderful artic. It's always
wonderful your column comes out of Midnight tonight. Subject matter
Gittmo continues to haunt. This is one an area that
you and I have talked about many times and you've
written on many times. Is extremely important. But before we

(02:13:41):
get to that, I just wanted to get your reaction,
and I you know Donald Trump, know Donald Trump, obviously
he's president elect. Donald Trump really just pulled one out
of the hat. He won the popular vote, which is amazing,
and he's gonna he's he's already starting to act somewhat presidential,
hitting the ground running, starting to declare people that's going
to be in his cabinet and everything. But the Department

(02:14:04):
of Government Efficiency. I am actually quite excited about this.
I don't know what your feelings are about Elon Musk
or VV Grammar Swammy, but the idea that those two
guys are going to be in charge of trying to
cut out waste in government, that they're actually going to
take a stab at doing that, I think that's room
for optimism because I if I had to guess, I'd

(02:14:26):
say you would agree the size and scope of government
has got a little bit out of hand.

Speaker 9 (02:14:31):
Well, the problem is that nobody pays attention to the Constitution.
I mean ninety percent, literally ninety ninety zero percent of
the federal government is not authorized by the Constitution. In fact,
this department is not authorized by statute. So they can't
just the president can't just create a department out of
thin air and appoint people to it and give them

(02:14:53):
off of space and give them computers and pay their salaries.
That has to be authorized by Congress. Every time this
has happened in the past, it's only been a window dressing.
Neither mister Musk nor mister Ramaswami understand the federal government.

(02:15:14):
I don't know if they understand the Constitution, so I'm
not optimistic about it. I'm actually kind of down in
the dumps about really the president because of some of
his appointments. Listen, I know Pete Hegseth heg Seth as
well as I know you, maybe better, worked with him
daily for a number of years. Pete is a committed

(02:15:39):
Zionist and a committed neo con who advised that Joe
Biden to baum Tehran three years ago. Donald Trump does
not need an enabler in the Defense Department. He needs
a wise person, like say Colonel Douglas McGregor, to point
out to him the likely and probable consequences of his

(02:16:01):
impulses toward bombing.

Speaker 8 (02:16:03):
Pete will not do that.

Speaker 9 (02:16:04):
Pete will reinforce those impulses because he shares them himself.
I like Pete, I know on him he's a wonderful guy,
but I'm very disappointed in the appointment. Donald Trump is
going neocon even. I mean, these are Republican neocons as
opposed to the Democratic neocons that are in there now.

(02:16:27):
So look at my column from last week.

Speaker 8 (02:16:31):
Why do we vote?

Speaker 9 (02:16:32):
It doesn't matter. The military, industrial, banking, pharmaceutical, surveillance, welfare,
warfare state complex will still rule the roost no matter
what kind of bluster comes out of the Oval Office.

Speaker 8 (02:16:47):
Well, so I.

Speaker 9 (02:16:48):
Apologize for a little bit of a downer. And maybe
this is not what you want to do talk about,
but this is what's on my mind right now. I
suspect you agree with some of what I said some.

Speaker 1 (02:16:57):
And you know, again going back to the apartment, I mean,
call it what you will, Department of government efficiency, or
just two guys sitting down at a table without it
being called a department and making good, solid recommendations too.
To your point getting back to the constitutional reality that
there is no there should be no Department of Education,

(02:17:19):
get rid of it. I mean you can say that
without having a department in offices formed and all of that.
You just listening to some people who are trying to
go through the books and pair back what isn't it
isn't right or shouldn't be in part of our federal government.
I take that, well, then they should get rid of the.

Speaker 9 (02:17:36):
Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security. Yes, most
respectfully to our friend, I don't know if he's going
to go there, and I hope he doesn't because he's
worth a lot more to our values in the Congress.

Speaker 1 (02:17:48):
The Department of Agriculture, of Agriculture.

Speaker 9 (02:17:50):
The Department of Commerce. Why do we need the federal
government to run agriculture or commerce? Where is that in
the constitution?

Speaker 1 (02:17:57):
Yeah? No, see, that was one of my listeners brought
that up. We do a thing called honor Flight tri
state here we fly veterans to see their memorials in Washington, DC.
You know, gentlemen who mostly war veterans Korea. We did
World War Two and now they're doing Vietnam eras. But
every time they drive by the Department of Agriculture, said,
they point out how unblanking, believably huge the Department of

(02:18:20):
Agriculture buildings are. Every one of those offices is filled
with employees, multiple plural and why, I mean none of.

Speaker 9 (02:18:29):
Them grows a single blade of gramd.

Speaker 1 (02:18:32):
Right, So can we live without one? I know, we
live without a Department of Education before nineteen eighty and
we all lived, thrived and survived and did fine, So
let's get rid of it. That's the kind of thing
I'm hoping that, whether or not it's an actual funded entity,
it's formalized or not, that at least this next administration,
love them or hate them, takes some great efforts to

(02:18:53):
pair back the fraud, waste and abuse that exists across
all four corners of government.

Speaker 9 (02:19:00):
To add to fraud, waste and abuse on constitution, that
of course, is the fulkrum here, because that is what
will ruffle the feathers on Capitol Hill. They believe that
whatever they do is constitutional, even though the overwhelming majority
of it is not, because it's not authorized by the Constitution.

(02:19:21):
So they take the commerce clause and hang their hats
on the hook of whatever affects interstate commerce. And they
take the necessary and Proper Clause and hang their hats
on those hooks. And they think they can right any wrong,
and regulate any behavior, and spend any money, and intrude
on any relationship. The Constitution be damned.

Speaker 1 (02:19:41):
Well, let me dream for a moment, and please share
in my dream. Judgenna Politano, I'm pretty reasonably happy with
Donald Trump's Supreme Court choices. Of course, we've made great
strides in the pairing back the administration state administrative state
with the Chevron doctor, and of course West Virginia versus EPA.
We could go on with Trump as president and him

(02:20:05):
having control of the House and Senate. We might get
a few more extra judges a couple anyway, could we
maybe in our lifetime Judge Topolitano see wickerd versus Philburn
rolled back.

Speaker 9 (02:20:18):
Wow, that's the great Ohio case that allows the government
to regulate even trivial, even immeasurable activity on the theory
that if you add up all the immeasurables, they can
be measured. Justice Scalia's and I'm gonna have to go
in a minute, Brian. One of Justice Scalia's life goals

(02:20:40):
was to get that roll back, and at one point
he had five votes, and then, as happens, Chief Justice
changed his mind.

Speaker 1 (02:20:50):
Now they got the goods on him too, perhaps, but
at least I can live to dream about it. If
it was a Kamala Harris administration, I could just throw
that dream into the ash Bin Jenner Plano. In the
interest of your time, we'll part company early today, real quick. Here,
who's on the program. Who's on judging Freedom?

Speaker 9 (02:21:07):
Oh, Ambassador Charles Freeman, Colonel Douglas McGregor, Phil Giraldi, Matt Blumenthal,
my first.

Speaker 1 (02:21:15):
Team, Looking forward to it as always, until next Wednesday, sir,
best of Hell, Thank you very much. A thirty eight
