Speaker 1 (00:00):
There anytime, take your info to go. I'm listening Heart
powered by fifty five krs the talk station five O

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Friday East Sea.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
From this no idea, what's going on? Yeah, well, Tally,
Sharon and your I guess bewilderment this morning, Brian time
is right here. Glad to be in. Good to see
Dr Tracker and where he belongs to the production booth. Joe.
They did say at the top of the hour news
that youth crime was up, there being problem with youth
crime downtown. Is that right? I missed that right? Yeah,

(01:00):
Precott a priest problem with downtown violence. I've been listen.
I've been reading about this a long time. So after
have provol in the uh state of the city. Just
the other day said that youth violence is down more
than thirty five. I would never suggest he's lying, Joe,

(01:22):
but huh, he said it's down because of programs that
work against violence, feeding students at Government Square. You realized
they had a food stand down here. I don't know
if it's don't know if if the hot Dogs Dan
got knocked over in the riot or not. Something called

(01:44):
advanced peace and a new crisis response team cited by
after have pro ball for why youth violence is down? Whatever,
Thank you, Liam Uh summing up sort of my perception
of that on that topic. At seven oh five, we're
gonna hear from Ken Cover FOP President Ken Kob representing
the police officers of the City of Cincinnati. We will

(02:06):
talk public safety and we will ask sort of out loud,
the rhetorical question, if everybody's worried about youth violence and crime,
why the hell did the residents of Hamilton County of
like Connie Pilach and Charmaine McGuffey. Well, that sums it up.
Maybe you're on fire today just Trecker and the Addison

(02:27):
police are dissolving or have dissolved. And you know, I
don't have an opinion or comment on that necessarily, except
an observation from my youth is that you never ever,
ever went even one mile an hour over the speed
limit when you were driving through Addison. My Dell High

(02:47):
and West Side friends know exactly what I'm talking about.
If you're of my vintage or maybe a little bit older.
There were all kinds of rumors as to why the
speed was so strictly enforced in downtown Addison, but well,
no police force there. I guess maybe the sheriffs will
be patrolling it. I don't know. We'll find out from
Kenkober at seven oh five on that one. Americans for Prosperity,

(03:08):
Donovan and ne O. The work is not done yet.
Well today we'll be talking at seven thirty with Donovan
about the Lame Duck agenda in Columbus, Land of Dysfunction,
Political Dysfunction. Jackie Williams doing in Power Youse seminar tonight.
It's going to be very interesting and I'm looking forward
to having Jackie on the pro I'm going to talk
about warning signs of Alzheimer's. You heard my heavenly the

(03:33):
my dad chime in, Heavenly chime in earlier there with
the no Obviously our family went through that, and it's
just a god awful, god awful disease. Go ahead and
prioritize what sucks most. But right up there at the
very top, I think I'm going to put Alzheimer's. Congressman

(03:54):
Thomas Massey had a fallop in the schedule yesterday or
he had an obligation he had attend to yesterday was
to be on in advance of judgement. Politano irritating a
lot of people that judge did yesterday. He was he
seemed to be like he was. I don't know. I
guess since at the five o'clock hour can sum it
up as he seemed a little pissed off. Did you

(04:16):
see his facial expressions on the zoom call there, Joe,
Were you able to watch that? Yeah? Anyway, that's why
he came across to me and didn't He didn't really
caught into the doge cutting back on government thing. I
was excited about that, and they still remain excited. He's, well,
these aren't authorized by constitutions, like neithers is a part

(04:37):
of education, I said, I don't care. He's talking about
having to put office space and create all this new
you know, it's another layer of bureaucracy. And my responses
will does it have to be? I mean, if you
put vvak Gramma SWI I mean Elon musk in in
an unused conference room and give him access to areas

(04:58):
where they can cut government. They don't need off of
space or help or anything. They just need to identify
areas if the government can be cut and just cut it, period,
doesn't have to be formally established organization or cabinet post
or anything. Just get the job done. We got all
kinds of areas where we can cut on that, maybe

(05:18):
have a little fun and games with that. This morning
here in the early part of the show, and Matt
Gates Attorney General, we'll get Congress Smamassi's initial reaction on that,
because that's the man who's been apparently tapped for the job.
Gets your reaction too, if you like to call five
one three seven eight hundred eighty two to three talk
go to town five fifty on at and T funds.

(05:40):
And of course we always and the fifty five Karoseme
Morning Show on Thursdays with Iheartmedy aviation expert Jay Ratliffe.
Hell of a good man he is. We'll talk about
passengers being rude, add them to the list of everybody
else apparently being rude these days San Francisco winning a
battle against Oakland Airport, Spirit air hit by gunfire and

(06:01):
also struggling financially. I tacked that one on there. Plus
we always end with hub delays. Jay Ratliffe at eight
thirty fifty five care see dot com and you can't
listen live to the angry judge Nita Politano, the always
enlightening Jack Atherton with the big picture and bring him
acount with a few words on energy policy, which is

(06:22):
exactly where I wanted to start this morning. This is
a wonderful illustration of the batcrap insanity of energy policy.
We turned to California, where the residents of the state
of California struggle mightily against the always increasing price of

(06:42):
gasoline brought about by government policy. So they didn't even
wait for the election result to be to completely dry.
The California Air Resources Board aka CARB just voted to

(07:03):
increase the low carbon fuel standard by thirty percent. Now,
this thirty percent reduction has to take place by twenty thirty,
so you've got yourself a few years here. But the
gist of it is the program requires refiners. There'll be
the folks that make the gasoline to reduce their quote

(07:25):
carbon intensity, close quote in the fuel, or if you
can't reduce the carbon intensity of the fuel, buy credits
from renewable producers. Of course, ultimately described as a de
facto carbon tax, indirectly subsidizing politically favored businesses. That's how

(07:50):
the journal described it. So I don't know how you
reduce carbon intensity of fuel. Let's just say you can't.
Let's say it's against the laws of physics. We can't
be repealed for you people out there going, let's just
repeal the laws of physics. Old joke running among Democrats.
So you have to buy carbon credits. So they explained

(08:13):
in the journal, explains how it works, which is what
drove me absolutely crazy. Under the program, electric utilities, biofuel producers,
and hydrogen and electric vehicle charging companies get credits that
they can sell to refiners. So these chosen businesses apparently

(08:35):
are loaded up with these carbon credits, were readily available
for the open market, a market created out a whole
cloth by legislation. Somehow, it reminds me of bitcoin. It's
like one day it wasn't there, and the next day
it's there. It's like, wait, wait a minute, where did
this source of revenue come from? This thing of value

(08:58):
which consists of ones and zero? Where did these carb
credits come from? Oh? Look, peace of legislation created them,
and now there's a market for them. A market created
from a whole cloth by politicians in California and elsewhere.
So certain producers like electric utilities, biofilip producers, hydrogen electric
vehicle charging companies get the credits, which allows them to

(09:22):
sell to refiners who apparently are incapable of meeting the
CARB standards. All right, Utilities take the proceeds from the
sale of these fictitious CARB credits and subsidize electric vehicles,

(09:47):
which no one wants to buy. Now get a load
of this, though, The Durnal points out one of the
program's biggest beneficiaries has been dairy farms that capture men
methane from the kalmanore and they make more money selling
credits than they do from selling the milk. That is

(10:08):
the point of their business in the first place. But
then it's noted, remember this is all in artificial market.
Credit prices. These carb credits have recently fallen because more
renewable producers and dairy farms are looking for these subsidies,

(10:30):
so they're capturing their methane and selling them. It's a
law of supply and demand, right. Oh, look, we got
more CARB credits because we captured more cow flatulence. Hey,
goodie for us. Well, the market then gets saturated with
CARB credits, so the price of these carb credits drops.
Now the California Air Resources Board, the one that just

(10:53):
tightened the standards. We'll get to the reason why here.
They are concerned that declining credit prices could make green
investments on economic. In other words, your dairy producerver there's going, well,
wait a second, I'm gonna invest all this money to
capture my manure methane, and the CARB credits just don't

(11:13):
pay what they used to, so I'm not gonna do
that anymore. It's a pointless exercise. So what does CARB do?
They're like, oh, wait a second, how do we get
the price of these credits to go up? Ah, we
tighten the fuel standards, ergo, boosting the credit prices, ergo. Ultimately,
Californians pay more money for gasoline at the pump. It's ultimately.

(11:37):
It's where it all leads. Apparently, the California Air Resources
Board predicted last year that the stricter standard would increase
the gasoline price at the pump by forty seven cents
a gallon by next year. Others suggest they could climb

(11:59):
sixty five sense a gallon in the near term, or
eighty five cents a gallon by the twenty thirty deadline.
They say regulators played down a concern that tightening the
fuel standard would hurt low income residents. Ready, low income
residents cannot even afford the current cost of four dollars

(12:20):
and fifty cents a gallon for gasoline. Go ahead and
add eighty five cents to that. But according to the
California Air Resources Board, which arbitrarily sets the price, are
the limits on these various manufacturers of fuels that we
all need? Claim that these low income residents could, in

(12:41):
their words, avoid the potential pass through cost of the
regulation by buying evs Okay, I think it goes to that,
saying that a lot of low income households can't afford

(13:03):
even a new internal combustion engine car, let alone the
e electric vehicles which cost even more than the internal
combustion engine automobiles. Period, end of story. So out of
whole cloth, they create a CARB or they create these
offset markets they create, they hand over the credits to

(13:23):
certain industries. Those industries sell them to the industries that
can't comply with the CARB standards that are randomly set,
and when the price of these credits goes down, these
standards go up to increase the price of the CARB.
Do you see the circuitous crap that being shoved down
our throats, none of this would exist. It's a fake market.

(13:48):
It's all manufactured, it's manipulated. We're all being just. I
suppose that it is, as we ballot the alter that
our excelation is causing climate change. I what planet did
I wake up on? And I don't know when it happened,

(14:10):
but I woke up on like a planet, planetary body
in an unstable orbit around Remulac or something. Because this
shire doesn't feel like the world that I woke up
or that was born in five nineteen fifty five k
City Talks days. Just stick around, love to hear from you.
Got a comment, got a few funny things going on.
I got to get to the stack of two, but
got local stories. But I'd rather talk to you, so

(14:31):
feel free to call. I'll be right back in a moment.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Generald Trump has done it again.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Our country decided projective. I know you didn't write that one,
Joe five one three seven fifty two to three talk.
Give the voters a choice, and you put a ballot
an issue toivon, and they vote in favor of well

(14:58):
protecting the right to choose. No, I'm not talking about abortion,
talking about Washington State, where they did approve a ballot
measure that protects their ability to get natural gas in
their homes. It was a kind of I'm surprised it
was as a squeaker as it was fifty two forty
eight just recently called it the other day. Bottom line is,
people want to have natural gas in their homes if

(15:21):
they want it, preserving the right to choose and flying
in the face of this climate change nonsense sy Even
Washington State leftist liberals want the option. Reconcile that one.
And as Biden prepares to part company with the well
the balance of reality, his environment over texting agency finalize

(15:44):
the new rule this the other day, taxing methane emissions
from the oil and gas sector. Now you might wonder
how they could issue a new rule creating a new tax,
but this is all part of the inflation Reduction Acts,
which apparently included the allowance of regulations relating to waste
emissions charges. Well, they had discretion on how tightly to

(16:08):
clamp down, so clamp down they did that. I could
tell you how much per cubic ton it gradually goes
up to the bottom line is it's an additional fee
that's being levied. According to the release from the EVA,
the final waste emission charge the latest in a series
of actions under President Biden's methane strategy. Are you ready

(16:31):
to improve efficiency in the oil and gas sector? Support
American jobs?

Speaker 4 (16:41):
See?

Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm hesitating on because I'm asking each you to sort
of contemplate this. What a second, it's a new fee
for methane emissions. It's okay, nine hundred dollars per metric ton.
That's what it starts at. It Ansley gradually increases the
fifteen dollars per metric ton. Can you explain to me, please,
how a new fee on methane emissions does anything to
improve efficiency in the oil and gas sector or support

(17:06):
American jobs. Now, the other two throwaway points will protect
clean air and reinforce US leadership on the global stage.
I don't know what the latter means except virtue signaling
to the rest of the world who doesn't want to
pursue the climate policies that the Western nations are being
forced to pursue. The Iranian Vice President, Sheena Ansari, was

(17:31):
at COP twenty nine just the other day. The Iranians
happened to be around a petro state country. They sell
gas on the open market. So what the hell they
doing at COP twenty nine. Well, they're demanding the right
to be able to sell their products, their oil and
gas around the globe. Why because it's just not fair

(17:53):
that they should be subjected to limits on their production,
because the rest of the world has been free to
go ahead and do that all along, up until this
most recent moments in time, when we started thinking that
our exhalation was causing the globe to kill itself. Her statement,
and sorry, however, we cannot forget that the current climate

(18:13):
situation of the world is the result of the industrial
policies of a few developed countries. That would be you
and me. That's the United States, it's Europe, any developed
like first world nation who has prospered mightily because of Well,
maybe there's systems of government the free population that can

(18:35):
pursue enterprise and pursue profits to their own benefit, you know,
a system of government that encourages prosperity. That's our fault,
pivoting over and developing states shall not be deprived of
their right to development because of what others have done.
So here's your explanation. And you can put China in

(18:57):
the group. I guess with Iran because they're not concidered
yet a First World nation. They're allowed to pollute all
day long. They can build coal plants, they can burn oil,
they can sell the oil. They can pollute all day long.
Why because well, they have not yet had a seat
at the First World table. So you and I and

(19:22):
other First World countries will bear the brunt of cutting
our own throats and taxing ourselves into submission and ruining
our own economies in the name of global wealthy distribution.
So the Iranians and the Chinese and mostly our other
adversaries can thrive and develop their countries while polluting the
globe and negating anything we have done in the name

(19:44):
of preventing climate change. You following all this, what an
epic epic scam? Five twenty eight fifty five karste Detalk station.
Feel free to call. Got local stories coming up in
a stack of stupa which I feel like I've been
talking stack and stupid since the mic went on. I'll
be right back. It's the return of chir CD Talk station.

(20:12):
It is five thirty two fifty eight two three talk
contact fifty on eight and t phones. Nobody wants to
talk to me this morning. Makes me sad?

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Anyway?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Do local stories? Uh, let's say lawmakers passed the bill
here know how banning transgender students from using the bathroom
aligning with their gender identity. Governor Murdyke Dwine previously agreed
to sign the legislation that impacts K through twelve and colleges.
Let's see here. Senate past SB one oh four, requiring

(20:46):
all public schools and colleges to mandate that students can
only use the bathroom or locker in the matches their
sex assigned at birth. Originally State represented of Adam byrd,
we introduced the House Bill one eighty three. Legislation was
slit into an uncontroversial and unrelated bill is an amendment
at eleven PM during the last session before summer recess.

(21:09):
Official birth record would be used to prove biological sex
as long as the certificate was issued at or near
the time of the individual's birth, saying that it wouldn't
matter if a birth record is challenged to reflect the
individual's identity. Who would go through that hassle anyway? Bird
representatives said the bills about public safeties. I understand that

(21:32):
it's controversial, but it is an issue of protection for
those people that are vulnerable. But they've been over backwards
in this reporting to make it sound like a terrible
thing that men can't go into the little girl's bathroom.
How gas stations convenience stores couldn't sell delta delta ETHC products.

(21:53):
Onder new bill that lawmakers may pass before the end
of the year. Hurry up and get it all done
before the years over. Bill three twenty six here in Ohio,
introduced by Senator Steve Huffman, would ban the sale of
hemp derived products that are wildly popular. This after the
twenty eighteen Farm Build legalized hemp. Under federal rules, hemp

(22:13):
can't contain more than point three percent of delta nine THHC.
That's the product or compound that gives you get you high.
But businesses, being enterprising, took advantage of the gaps in
the law. They started selling Delta eight, which they refer
to as and I don't know why, diet weed, described

(22:34):
as a synthetic compound derived from CBD that gives users
a mild high. Others found workarounds to sell Delta nine
edibles and THCHCA flour which becomes delta nine when it's heated. Now,
as for Huffman's bill, it would enact an all out
ban on gray market cannabis, not just sales the miners,

(22:56):
and prohibit anything with more than point five milligrams of
delta nine two milligrams of deltainine, so that was per
serving two milligrams of deltaine per package, zero point five
milligrams of tota or total non deltainine per package. Keeping
track of this measure would not apply to industrial hem
products like fiber'cloth or CBD infused cosmetics. I'm sure somebody

(23:22):
will figure a workaround to that one as well. Five

So to the stupid we go. I've read these before.

(25:37):
British women died after paying thousands of British pounds for
a Brazilian butt lift surgery in the country of Turkey.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Thirty eight year old Hailey Dowels suffered medical complications at
what described as a private clinic after a person described
as her surgeon walked out halfway through the operation, went
under the knife and had a Brazilian butt lift, a
tummy tuck and liposuction package total costs seven thousand British

(26:16):
pounds happ in October last year. Her husband Neil Dow
went with her on the trip, claimed the doctors of
the Turkish clinic did not outline the risks of the
procedure to his wife. Missus Dowell thought to be one
of six Brits who died in Turkey in twenty twenty
three following botched medical procedures, Apparently the country popular with

(26:39):
Brits for reducing prices on cosmetic surgery, though then the
subject of warnings by United Kingdom health officials. D BBL
involves increasing the size and shape of a person's butt
by removing fat from one area of the body and
transferring it to the buttocks. See I'm old enough to

(27:00):
remember when fat butts were a bad thing. Mister and
Missus Dow arrived in Turkey October first last year. According
to the inquest, she went under the knife at the
BHT clinic and his tanbull the next day. Died around
midnight on October third. Preliminary hearing into her death, they
were untill told she suffered from an embolism, which can

(27:22):
arise after a surgery caused the potentially fatal blood flow blockage.
Mister Dawes said he and his wife carried out research
to find the clinic. He said, quote, we found this
surgeon and had a clinic named after himself. He was
one of the top five surgeons in Turkey. However, he
told the coroner that she had only consented to two

(27:43):
of the three operations she had, although he did not
identify which one she had not agreed to. Details about
the procedure were not heard at the preliminary hearing. However,
mister Dowray's concerns about his wife not having information provided
to her quote there was not any risk outlined to her.
Mister Dowell claimed, Hm, we would not have known the

(28:06):
risks according to her daughter because she didn't consent to
all three. One of the biggest concerns mister Dale expressed
is the change and the length of the operation. He
said it should have been around six hour operation, but
it wound down to one hour and forty five minutes.
The surgeon left halfway through the operation and left the

(28:27):
anesthetist to do the job. You can't do both at
the same time, said, They asked me to sign the
consent for him after she passed away. Mister Whittaker as
our walker, also suggests that he will be writing a
Prevention of Future Deaths report to help stop future tragedies occurring.

(28:47):
Full inquest to take place in January. I'm thinking, like,
don't do that. Full of money are soon parted and
learned that one in a wild Joe appreciate that the

(29:08):
only thing that could have made that better. And I
don't know anything about Turkish medicine. I'm just going to
assume it's not up to the standards of American medicine.
At least. The operation was described as taking place in
a clinic because a lot of the stories I've read
about that over the years where people have died as
a consequence of getting you know, butt injections or whatever. Uh,
the operations take place in a motel six, which really

(29:31):
works nicely in your phrasing comment there about butt injections,
I was thinking the roofing cock, Joe, that kind of
injection for people who weren't a bigger BUTTI fifty five

asked how much she had to drink, she told the
officers quote, I want my lawyer and I'm not talking

(33:36):
to you. Steel then handcuffed, taking him to the area hospital,
where she received treatment for the injuries she sustained during
the crash. During her arrest, she reportedly said to the officer,
is your penis that small?

Keep your stupid mouth shut.

The first term commissioner, maybe only term commision in charge
with one kind of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol,
you don't get a citation for well mocking a police officer,
as inappropriate as it may have been. See we've got
a South Florida where a human head washed ashore. Miami
Dad Police investigating the incident after a beach worker at

(34:19):
Key Biss Game, Florida discovered the decapitated head early Tuesday
morning behind the Key Colony Ocean Sound condos. Police haven't
been able to identify the specifics regarding the head and
or unaware of the age or sex of the well
the person the head came from. Cause of decapitation also

(34:40):
under investigation court to Miami Dade Police, they're a spokesperson.
Detective Martin said, well, we've not been able to determine
exactly how the head became separated from the body, but
there are a couple of working theories. Local authorities awaiting
further information about the deceased identity the The spokesperson did, however,

(35:01):
tell People magazine that he suspects the remains were an
adult male, but they're awaiting confirmation. So at this point,
we're not discounting any possibility this could be accident or
missing person. It's just too early to tell into the circumstances.
Got a whole lot of information on that one. Uh okay,

(35:21):
go to New York. Oh, this is disgusting. Would you
eat a guinea pig? Joe? Now? Well, New York City
is the poem for eating Ecuadorian delicacy guinea pigs, now
described as a very delicious feast. Lacasa del koy literally

(35:45):
means the House of Guinea Pig, a culinary go to
in Corona, Queens that grills and serves the rodent whole
essentially every part but the squeak. Their words, not mine.
Thanks Dan, I'm with you on that one. Apparently recently,
the house was packed with diners waiting to get the

from tip to tip. Pet sized guinea pigs typically smaller.
The manager trying to convince the general public to eat them.
It's better than chicken, better than rabbit. One hundred and

South America. Sucker born every minute. I agree with myself.

Jay RATTLFF I heart media aviation Expert. Without further ado, CJ,
thank you so much for holding over the brake there
all I saw on the call screen was Cincinnati, and
there was no name there. Joe and I are having
a little difficult communication over our electronics this morning. No

(39:41):
fault of yours, but I appreciate you holding and welcome
to the program.

Speaker 10 (39:45):
Well, thank you very much, and I hope your health
is doing absolutely fantastic this morning.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Acts. I do feel okay. I'm fighting back the cough
though it's it is a deep, deep cough. You ever
get the cough where you really can't get the gunk out,
you know, and you're fighting this struggle and your head
starts her to get a headache, and your your stomach
hurts and all that from coming. That's the place I
am beyond that. I feel great, no fever or anything else,

(40:11):
but thanks for asking.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Yea.

Speaker 10 (40:14):
Even the pinky toes hurt with that coffin.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (40:20):
In regards to Matt Gates, I look at it this way,
Bobby Kennedy had far much less experience when he became
Attorney General under his brother's administration. There's been a lot
of different, you know, people along the lines. Nobody remembers
that Jennet Reno, who is about the only person who

(40:43):
I've ever heard of server all eight years is attorney general.
Was Bill Clinton's third nomination with it for attorney general
in two months. But my concern about the Matt Gates
is this is that Donald Trump has a Mandy on
the border, he has a Mandy on the foreign policy,

(41:03):
and a lot of the garbage going on in the world.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
He's got to get.

Speaker 10 (41:07):
His tax cuts through because they expire at the end
of next year. That's going to be a massive fight,
and that's going to take some heavy lifting, especially when
you're looking at maybe a five or six seat majority
in the House. You got, you know a lot of
different people in the Senate who have their own versions
of those tax cuts. You got a lot of big

(41:28):
heavy lifting and to exert a lot of energy in
the beginning of your of your presidency where you only
got four years. He doesn't have a he can't he
doesn't hold the power I can run for reelection over people.
I just don't see it as a smart move From

(41:49):
that standpoint, I get why he's putting Matt Gates in there.
He is not going to pay attention to any sex scandal.
Donald Trump will because he doesn't believe ninety percent of them,
because of his own experience, But I just think it's
just a bad fight to have when you have so
many pressing issues and you cannot run for reelection.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Well' me ask you this. I mean, you're Donald Trump.
Who would you rather have in that position, or at
least who would you rather try to get in that position?

Speaker 11 (42:18):
You know?

Speaker 4 (42:18):
That's it.

Speaker 10 (42:19):
I wish I knew some more people out there who
were out there. There's a guy with the last name
of Miller, and unfortunately I don't know his first name,
but he's been out there fighting a lot of the
same fights that Keats has. He doesn't have that outgoing
personality and nobody knows his name. But I think you
gotta get somebody in there who has kind of that
same view of you gotta get rid of some of

(42:42):
this garbage that's going on in there. But the problem
is going to be is is that if he wants
to go into recess to get some of these nominations through,
I don't know if he can go into recess now,
because you already have Collins and Murkowski saying they will
not do anything to get Matt Gates into the Attorney General.
I would assume McConnell won't and Gates burned a lot

(43:05):
of bridges with those fights in the House of Representatives.
That fight is just going to be ugly in the Senate,
and it could bleed down into some of these others.
Because I'm okay, I love the Hecktat nomination. I can
live with the Toulci Gabbard one. I just don't understand
the met Gates fight because he's going to take up

(43:25):
a lot of energy on things that Trump want's done
right away.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
I will consent that point all day long. It is
a controversial choice, a divisive choice, and one that you
know a lot of Republicans, at least you know off
the record, Republicans quoted by a variety of news sources saying,
you know, basically ain't gonna happen over my dead body,
which means, you know, it's like the speaker fight. Why
do we really need to go down that road and

(43:49):
start off on the wrong foot. So whether it be
that divisive, I don't it remains to be seen. But yes,
if you want to avoid controversy, probably the wrong guy,
at least from the outside now some are suggesting he's
going to engage in you know, law fair much in
the way that a lawfair was waged against Donald Trump.
I'd like to think that Donald Trump would not allow

(44:10):
that to happen. But maybe that's me being overly optimistic.
Is Donald Trump going to be a guy that's seeking revenge?
Is he going to try to, you know, get back
at those who attacked him throughout his presidency? Do we
even want that to happen? I certainly don't a lot
of questions, though, appreciate the call. It's a very controversial

(44:33):
moment in this nation's history, is it not. Let's see
what Steve's got. Steve, welcome to the program, Thanks for
calling this morning, and a happy Friday Eve to you.

Speaker 11 (44:41):
Yes, sir, Now, my lovely wife and I will be
in this Stanbul October of next year. But gonna, we're
not gonna. We don't have any surgeries or dental work
or anything planned. We're we're kind of like middle of
the road people and boring people. We get those done
at home. Let's know what what do I know? So,
but he.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Is referring back to a stack as stupid story, so
use your imagination.

Speaker 11 (45:07):
Typically I go on, I go out of the country
to see new sites, enjoy the food and culture. I
don't go there from medical procedures. But again.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
The edge, you're not going to get your butt enhanced.

Speaker 11 (45:25):
Even at home. I wouldn't do that.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Uh, I don't.

Speaker 11 (45:30):
First of all, Yeah, we were not even going to
go there. Uh that that's that's you know, my wife
will not get hers. She doesn't need to get it done.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
But stop, stop, you're gonna get your.

Speaker 11 (45:46):
Yeah, a couple of things, Matt Gates. I I am
a staunch Republican, have turned eighteen and nineteen eighty, voted
Republican my whole life. They've always typically let me down.
But I am like ninety eight percent happy with everything
that's happened. Am I gonna support every pick for his cabinet? No,

(46:11):
Matt Gates, I think a bad choice, but I'm not.
You know, I'm not in charge. But you know it
doesn't sour me on anything. I'm actually glad to get
him out of the house because he was such pain
in the butt to his fellow Republicans. I mean, he's
so if we you know, if he is not confirmed,

(46:33):
won't bother me. There'll be a second choice. But at
used to get him out of the house. I mean
because he resigned a seat in the House. But you
know that's because.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
He's not what It made it easy.

Speaker 11 (46:44):
Thinking that he he with his ego, I don't think
he could imagine he wouldn't be confirmed.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Well, he does run a risk along those lines, though,
doesn't he.

Speaker 11 (46:54):
And it wouldn't bother me if he if he was
not confirmed, and and that's just the way it goes.
But let me make a quick judge Napolitano comment. You're
disappointed in him. I'm trying to give your voice a
break here too. I'm feeling okay, So you may do
we need to send Can we send you to our
version of this dan Bull? Maybe we'll send you keep

(47:15):
you in the Western Hemisphere. We can send you to
port a prince in Haiti to have your your your
sickness taken care of. Might ship you back in a box.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
I got my narcotic COFs ser if. I haven't taken
it yet this morning. So if I start, you hear
me start slurring and sounded like I'm drunk on the radio,
You'll know that I had to hit it. But I'm
all right.

Speaker 11 (47:36):
I turned on when I turned on the radio yesterday,
I thought there's a trooper because I thought, well he
wasn't there Monday or Tuesday. You know, I thought, so,
you know, good for you. I mean, you've got that
good old fashioned work ethic, which is nice. But on
Judge Napolitano, Uh Bloomenthall, the former mayor of New York
City ran for president, Uh has kind of a similar

(48:01):
view of Trump that Neapolitano has. And they all came
from the same area. They've known each other for decades.
I don't doubt for a second any room they were
ever in when Trump walked in. He's loud, boisterous, and
I'm sure it rubs on, you know, grates on their

(48:24):
nerves and they think and they may both be much smarter.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
Than he is.

Speaker 11 (48:30):
I don't know that, but I believe, just my opinion,
these you know, and there's different things that makes up
a human being. It's personality, it's intelligence, it's charisma, and
you get the big you know, you get then this
human being, it's not just intelligence. And maybe Trump's smarter

(48:51):
than they are. I don't know, but my belief is,
and this is what I've heard from Blumenthal. He is
so convinced he is smarter than Trump and can't believe
that he has not succeeded as he has not become president.
In other words, this is somebody that has has surpassed

(49:13):
what I was able to do. And I know I'm
smarter than he is. And I think that's the same
thing with Napolitano. I think he is so convinced he
is so much smarter than Donald Trump. Maybe he is,
maybe he isn't. But again, that's one factor of what
makes him a human being. He doesn't command you know,

(49:34):
the room the way Trump does when he walks into it.
I think it grates on his nerves. This Department of
Government efficiency, that's a moniker.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
It's not a new.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
Department, yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Said.

Speaker 11 (49:49):
Yeah. When he said constitutionally he can't do.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
This, you don't need to make it apartment. Just put
him in a room, I said, put elon muskin and
be grams. I'm in an empty room and uh and
let him take hammer and tongs that did kind into government.
You don't need to create a brand new department. And
they can eradicate the departments that are unconstitutional that he
brought up. Yeah, I don't know. He was in a
bad mood. I really I firmly believe that I could

(50:14):
see his face and yeah.

Speaker 11 (50:16):
Again he's he's convinced he should have succeeded more. And
he's done well. Blumenthal and the Politano have done very well.
But here's here's this guy that always rubbed him the
wrong way. Maybe it's like, hey, I'm smarter than he is,
but he pushes people away whatever, you know, it.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Could be right, I don't know. And while he's a
friend of mine, it's not like I call him up
after the show's over and we have long conversations or anything.
I just, you know, I don't mind him having a
different opinion. He does. He really kind of piss off
quite a few of my audience members from time to time.
But that doesn't bother me either. It's not like I'm
adopting it or you know, you know, singing that song

(50:57):
myself regularly. But I like him and welcome I'm a
refreshing alternative thought process or change of pace, and that way,
folks like you and I, Steve and the listening audience
can talk about it and analyze it and try to
figure it out for ourselves. But yeah, at least it
allows me to bring back up that Doge point. Yes,
cut the government period, end of story. You don't have

(51:17):
to create a department to do it. Just start cutting.
Thanks brother, I got a few callers online if you
don't mind bearing with me. It's six pot nineteen. Got
to take a quick break and strong recommendation. Help you
save money, and I mean significant amounts of money. It's
affordable imaging services where you get medical imaging for a
fraction of what the hospital imaging department will charge you

(51:40):
MRI four ninety five, four hundred and ninety five bucks
for a full MRI. Get a contrast at six hundred
and forty five bucks. Go on over call the hospital
you've been scheduled for an MRI, ask them how much
it's gonna cost, and tell them to tell you how
much it's gonna cost after your insurance payment or is processed.
I bet it's going to be more than the entire
MRI with the board Certified Radiologist report. Yes, more than

(52:03):
six hundred and forty five bucks. Get the whole thing
for six hundred and forty five bucks. With a contrast
at Affordable Imaging Services, No contrast, it's only four hundred
and ninety five bucks. CT scan no contrast four point
fifty at a contrast six hundred that could set you
five thousand dollars back at a hospital imaging department. They listen,
they make a lot of profit at the imaging department.

(52:25):
Look at all the overhead, Look at all the air
conditioning they got to deal with. Look at all the
space at the hospital. All that has to be paid for.
Let me tell you, Affordable Imaging Services overhead is very
very low. The equipment's the same, the professionals operating and
have been doing this for more than forty years. Every
image comes with the certified board, certified Radiologist report. You

(52:46):
get a separate bill for that when you go to
the hospital, So don't do that. Find out ahead of
time how much it's going to cost you out of
your pocket, and then check it out the prices at
Affordable Imaging Services, and I feel pretty strongly you're going
to go for the ladder. To learn more about the
pricing and everything else. Go to Affordable Medimaging dot com.
Affordable medimaging dot com. Yes you can go there. That

(53:07):
you have a choice when it comes to your medical care.

New Hampshire, Gary your first. Thanks for holding.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
Good morning, Brian, how are you.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
I'm doing well. Thank you very much for asking.

Speaker 8 (54:23):
Good.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
I was kind of concerned because of your cancer at
catching a cold. I think I just came over it
a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Now this signess has been running through the house. It
has nothing to do with my cancer. Although I appreciate
your concern, and I'm in good hands, but I appreciate.
So what what's your what's on your mind today?

Speaker 4 (54:41):
Hey, my my, I guess because I spent thirty four
years in the military. I read Pete's book. I love Pete.
I think he would be a firebrand in the Department
of Defense. I think that's exactly what we need. He's
a decorated major, he's got lots of experience, twenty plus

(55:03):
years as a major, and I think he could clear out,
or I hope he would clear out the Department of Defense,
which needs a thorough cleaning out from the very top
all the way down to the bottom. Really, we haven't
won a war in fifty years, at least seventy years,

(55:25):
you know, really since World War Two, we haven't really
won anything. So that's my thoughts on that. The other
one is, I take this appointment of Matt Gates. While
I appreciate Matt Gates because he brings up a lot
of good points, I think he has such ill will
amongst the Republicans whenever he shoots his mouth off and

(55:47):
he does actions such as the impeachment of the House President,
I think that's just going to be more of a distraction,
cause upset in the Republicans and we're going to wind
up fighting that for three months and get nowhere.

Speaker 5 (56:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Well, in his confirmation is not assured either, and it's
less assured because of exactly the point you're saying.

Speaker 4 (56:16):
Now.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
There could be the biggest Matt Gates fans in the
world out there listening audience. That does not mean there
aren't detractors and people who are upset with him or
otherwise rubbed the wrong way by him, which sets him
off on the wrong foot. So, yeah, the cards we played,
and we will have the votes and we'll find out ultimately.
But there could have been an easier, perhaps less controversial,

(56:37):
controversial choice than Matt. And as far as the military
is concerned, just one area of government, all areas of
government could do a top down, thorough scrubbing and cleansing
of the nastiness that exists in literally the four corners
of all governments. So it just doesn't exist in the military.
But I'll be the first person as big of a
fan as I am of American military to point out

(57:00):
there is a boatload of fraud, waste, and abuse and
incompetence there. Appreciate the call other callers. I will get
you at six twenty seven right now. If you've out
kcy detoxation, first Foreign Exchange listen brand new development of
foreign Exchange. If you got a Tesla, you're in good
hands of Foreign Exchange. Fix your Tesla. They are all
trained Tesla repair folks now as certified master technicians. So

(57:24):
in addition to all Asian and European traditionally manufactured automobiles,
you can add Elon Musks Tesla to the list of
cars at Foreign Exchange Services for less money than the dealer.
So don't give them money to Elon Musk. Give less
money to Foreign Exchange gets your Tesla service to your satisfaction.
Then you'll leave with a full warranty on parts and service,

(57:45):
just like the internal combustion engine cars do. Been taking
my cars there for years and years and years. They
do wonderful work. They'll take great care of you. They're
a great at customer service. And again the bottom line
is your bottom line. You get a full warranty, so
try them out. You'll be You'll never go back. If
your car is getting ready to go out of warranty,
then get it in there and have them do a

(58:06):
point and check on it, and get all the things
written down that the dealers will fix under warranty, the
one last gasp, and then from that point forward you
can take it to Foreign Exchange and not pay with

Things that are going to get very very heated, very
very fast. We also have other breaking news. As I predicted,
John Thune, I always thought it was going to be hard.
I had I would have preferred our Senator Rick Scott
to be the Senate Majority Leader, but I kind of
felt it was baked in the cake. And one thing
I think Republicans need to change are any votes in

(59:05):
private that has to stop. I think we need transparency,
and I think every Senator should have been willing to
go on the record and let their constituents know who
they voted for Majority leader.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
It's that simple.

for holding over the brake there, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 (01:01:34):
No worries. Uh.

Speaker 15 (01:01:36):
I was just thinking that Republicans need to go on offense.
It's about time we start acting like the ruling party
as opposed to Democrats, who they're gonna pick good at
picks regardless. They don't care what the American people think. Obviously,
with the DEI hires and everybody else that's been in
there doing nothing or doing a worse job. I think

(01:01:58):
Trump is going in no with the amount of time
that he had gotten left actually effect and permanently change
the culture in Washington. He is trying to drain the swamp,
and any detractors need to either get in the fight
or get out of the way.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Amen. I could not agree with you more, Dannis. Republicans
have wasted so many opportunities over the years trying to
play fair and delicate and nice and failing to appreciate
the absolute ruthlessness of their opposition, and that is the
Democrats and everything they stand for. So let's get in there,
get it done, and you have a mandate. He won
the popular vote, for God's sake, by a lot. If

(01:02:36):
they can't take the ball and run with it under
these circumstances, then maybe they don't deserve to be in
office either. Who's next, Joseph, Steve, thanks for holding. Welcome
to the program, Steve, Good morning, Brian.

Speaker 16 (01:02:46):
Hey, I do not want to lose Thomas Massey in
the House.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
I get it.

Speaker 16 (01:02:50):
I have a suggestion. I have a suggestion who would
probably even be better for ag Secretary Joel Salaton. And
I do believe Thomas Massey is aware of Joel.

Speaker 9 (01:03:01):
He is a.

Speaker 16 (01:03:04):
He's about a mid sixties farmer. He owns polypased farm
which has multiple species of animals. He's got cattle, pigs, chickens, rabbits,
all sorts of things, and they actually it's very regenerative agriculture.
He produces living soil by rotating his animals and doing things.

Speaker 8 (01:03:32):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
Yeah, I listen for I don't know who that guy
is from Adam, but I'm sure there's like you and
I could probably sit down a couple with one hundred
and fifty different people who could be agricultural secretary. I
like Messy only because he's the kind of guy that
would walk in and say, you know what, there's no
need for an agricultural secretary. There's nothing in the constitution
that provides for it. Let's just get rid of my

(01:03:53):
job and I'll just walk away from it after we
reduce it to nothing.

Speaker 16 (01:03:58):
He has a dynamic speaker, he is an author. He's
a self described Christian, libertarian, environmentalist, capitalist, loutna chicks farmer.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
You're still talking about Joel Salatin. That's Joel Okay, Well, see,
I'm telling you fine. I don't know. You can talk
all day about him, but nobody's brought his name up
except you first. I'm glad you brought it up. But
you just don't want Thomas Massey in that role because
he'd be taking out of the House representative as we
leis lose a seat. That point's while taken. Regardless of

(01:04:29):
who you substitute for Thomas Massey in that role, I'm
just saying, if he is in that role, I think
you would be great at it. Appreciate the caller out

Real quick about the efficiency government efficiency that they're.

With Bacon the Elon.

Speaker 17 (01:07:28):
The suggestion I'd have for him is they need to
go hang out with each cabinet member for about a
week and check out their departments and the way they
can get at Lisa a bird's eye view of everything
going on in each department.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Yeah, got to start somewhere. Although any new Cabinet secretary
is going to have a learning curve to deal with,
so maybe get somebody that's been in there for a
long time. You know, maybe a uh, someone who's sympathetic
to the Trump cutting cause in the in the in
the heiring back of government fraud, waste and abuse cause

(01:08:02):
and get them to eyeball an id where the waste
exists and where the fraud and of the abuse exists.
I guess that's it. Bobby, Welcome to the show and
hanging out. Thanks a kissy. Welcome to the show, Bobby,
Happy Friday.

Speaker 18 (01:08:19):
You my brother. Hey, I got a couple points and
I'll be real quick. Speaker Johnson day before yesterday sent
out a scolding a letter to all of your thirteen
government agencies about keeping retaining all records, yes, or there
may be retaliation against them as subtle words that he used.
You tell me one individual, it's not going to hold

(01:08:41):
their nose to the grindstone any better than Gates. That's
my first point. My second one is you had a
caller on here going on about Trump.

Speaker 5 (01:08:49):
Point.

Speaker 18 (01:08:49):
You had four years. Trump passed four years to set
the ground work that US Conservatives will be able to
run for the next twelve to twenty years.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
But it's going to have to do. The work is
going to have to start quickly and in earnest and
remain the focus of the administration for as long as
is possible, the reason being in the mid term elections,
and yes, people are already talking about the damn things.
Quite often the party in power loses seats in the House,

(01:09:21):
and given the slim majority of the Republicans enjoy right now,
they might lose that. So you got two years for
sure to try to get something done. After that, it's
a crapshoot. We'll have to wait through another election to
find out.

Speaker 18 (01:09:32):
But what about Rhino Mike Dewarne about his appointment for
jd Vance's seat. When's he going to make a ruling
on that?

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
I have no idea, Bobby, you know, I have no
insight into what goes through the Wine's head.

Speaker 18 (01:09:44):
Well, you can pick out another rhino he will want
to put in there. He's never contacted jd Vance or
he hasn't contacted the Trumpsters to find out who they
would like in that position. I guarantee he'll fall back
like he always has to pick one of the dry
no buddies.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
I'll let I have no reason to take that bet
because he's Mike Dwine. I mean, you're being angry about it.
And you're identifying. It doesn't change the reality of where
we are with that guy and where we have been.
I mean, you've never been happy with him, and there's
a lot of reasons why I haven't been either. So
don't expect the son not to come up tomorrow, Bobby,

(01:10:20):
It's gonna come up tomorrow. And don't expect Mike Dwine
to change his stripes late in the game. Never gonna happen.
So we at least that we can thoroughly agree on.
The thing is, you're right about Gates, but you're also
half the factor into the equation. Much like the midterm
elections may hand the House over to the Democrats of America?
Is that dumb to go that route? In a couple

(01:10:40):
of years, Matt Gates still has his detractors, and he
still has people who really do not like him, and
those are people within his own party. He's got to
withstand support and he has to be well voted on.
So is it better to vote with someone who does
and come with the baggage in spite of the fact

(01:11:02):
that he will hit the ground running and with his
nose to the grindstone. I think there are other people
who could fill that role. Maybe not to your level
of satisfaction, but don't throw out the good looking for
the perfect. And I wouldn't say Matt Gates is perfect either.

Welcome to the program.

Speaker 19 (01:14:10):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:14:11):
Hey, who takes Massey's seat? If he's If he does
go into this position.

Speaker 19 (01:14:16):
I'm in Kenton County.

Speaker 16 (01:14:17):
I don't want to lose him, So I'm wondering how.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
Does that work?

Speaker 16 (01:14:21):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Isn't that an appointment kind of thing, and shears is
he going to be in charge of it?

Speaker 4 (01:14:30):
And I don't want that either.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
No, Jim, let me observe that nothing is easy, is it. No,
It's like me, I was advocating for Thomas Massey's Agricultural
secretary just because I think you'll be great in that
role and probably would pair back the entire department to
virtually nothing just because of he has he's a man
of principle and appreciates a bloated, wasteful government. But we

(01:14:54):
would lose him in the House. So he's gonna be
on the program. I got to ask him about that.
But in so far as any one of these folks
that steps out of their role as an elected official
in the Senate or in the House, they're going to
have to be replaced by somebody. And of course, in
so far as Jade Vance's concern, we're still waiting around,
as Bobby pointed out, for Mike Dwine to make a
decision on that one. It's apparently rest in Dwine's hands.

(01:15:15):
And I don't know if that differs from state to state.
I'll be quite honest with you on that. We dwell
or I may be, but in terms of the minutia,
in terms of you know, like some people ask me, like,
can you recall fill in the blank? Yeah, I don't
know which state you're talking about, which office you're talking about.
It all depends on a variety of things. And I
don't purport to have all the answers to all the questions.
But you know what, I know, a simple internet search

(01:15:37):
would probably answer literally every question that we all have.
So if you find out and give me a call,
let me know. In terms of cutting real quick, here
the New York Post that I was looking at. They
because this office, which I'm excited about, and it's not
really a cabinet, and say, this is one of the things.

(01:15:57):
This is the point of contention. Got to do with
the pol Atana the other day, because oh, we shouldn't
even have these thes are not part of the gut Listen,
just say park Elon Musk and Viva Gramaswamy in a room.
Department of government efficiency doesn't have to be a formalized
funded department. These guys are multi billionaires and millionaires. They
don't need any extra money anyway, so they probably do

(01:16:19):
the job without being paid. But let them start cutting.
Put them in an office. Let them start cutting. They
got empty offices. You don't even have to pay for
extra new space. Let them start cutting. Excuse me, cough Futton. Anyway,
your posts identified quite a few things, and the neat
thing about when they announced this Department of Government Efficiency,

(01:16:41):
they said they would have the opportunity for us to
give them ideas about where to cut, and to the
extent they announced something that they are planning on cutting,
that we would be able to react to it in
a positive or negative way, So open door policy. Federal
government spent one point three billion dollars in checks on

(01:17:02):
dead people from the IRS one calendar year twenty twenty three,
medicare as well as assorted veteran groups. There's one point
three billion dollars in savings. All you need to do
is cross check the payments. The Treasury Department as a
do not pay list. Everyone should be on it, and

(01:17:22):
it should be shared across all layers of government. They
don't share the information. Easy fix. You probably put artificial
intelligence behind that one and not even have a position
for that role. Prisoners thought to still be free and
out of work got one hundred and seventy one million
in unemployment payments from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. They

(01:17:43):
also sent one hundred and one billion in improper payments
as a consequence of fraud, tax cheats, et cetera. Russian
cat research which reminds me of the shrimp on the
treadmill kind of craft twenty twenty one National inst to Health.
How about defunding that? When awarded four hundred and almost
six hundred thousand dollars to a Russian lab performing experience

(01:18:06):
on cats which included removing parts of their brains and
seeing if they could still walk on treadmills. See treadmills
came back in They got to think about treadmills over
at the National Institute for Health fifty I see NIH again.
Thirty three million dollars given to a firm which runs
Monkey Island, three thousand monkeys sent to do for research lab.

(01:18:28):
They grant a three point seven million to fund a
study on monkeys and gambling. Part of the twelve million
dollars went to the University of University of Mississippi to
test monkeys on meth amphetamine. Florida Lab received half a
million dollars a little less than to help fund research
on transgender monkeys, and you listen to this and you think,

(01:18:50):
you know, there's no way. There's no way, Yeah, there is.
Our government's gotten so big that we are willing to
throw a half a million dollars at alleged transgender monkey research.

Speaker 19 (01:19:05):
Why.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
I have no idea. I don't care what argument you
can make that the study was a good one. We're broke,
and a little more fun news along those lines. Thankfully,
maybe this administration upcoming will do something about the outrageous
spending it didn't do anything last time around Donald Trump
five trillion dollars. The US budget deficit jumped nearly fourfold

(01:19:30):
at two hundred and fifty seven billion dollars in October
end of the fiscal year. Treasury Department said October deficit
up two hundred and eighty seven percent from the sixty
seven billion dollar deficit it was in October twenty three.
Do you think we're having a spending problem here in
this country? And when you look at that kind of
hole we've already dug ourselves and the debt service we're

(01:19:52):
paying on the money we've already borrowed and must pay
debt service on. Going back to transgender money key research,
that one person in my listening audience maybe that thinks
that's a good idea, right, Sure it is. Every little
bit counts, so let's start cutting every little bit we can.

excuse me, good to heavyback on the show to this morning.

Speaker 9 (01:21:15):
Thank good morning, Brian.

Speaker 4 (01:21:16):
How are you.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
I'm doing fine? Just kind of going over some of
the comments from f TOE provoll State of the City
Youth Violence. Obviously brought up numerous times, although he did
claim that during the State of the City said he
claimed that youth violence is down more than thirty five
percent this calendar year. And I was scratching my head

(01:21:37):
over that one, because I know there have already been
more youth involved incidents at the various transit centers which
seemed to be a magnet for these young punk kids,
and crimes more this year so far than the entire
calendar year last year. So you tell my listeners, where
are we in terms of crime generally speaking, in youth
crime specifically.

Speaker 19 (01:21:59):
Wow, when you like transit center stuff, those are those
are things that typically disorder kids just fighting where you know,
an assault report is never generated, so those things don't
get thrown into stats. So you know, the reportable crime
may be down, But I could tell you with the
officers that go to these transit centers every day after school,

(01:22:22):
they're going to tell you that juvenile violence is absolutely
still a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
Well, is there something that's behind it other than the
obvious social realities of maybe you know, not having a
mom and dad at home taking care of them and
mining the store or I don't know, is this on
the uptick for any particular reason that you can put
your finger on that's sort of different from the norm.

Speaker 19 (01:22:44):
Now, not really other than the fact that they now
have a place to gather, you know, with all these
transit centers popping up. You know, instead of having these
kids just burst throughout you know, other avenues of transportation,
they're now going to central locations where gives them an
opportunity fifteen twenty minutes to to wait for a bus.

Speaker 9 (01:23:00):
And well know that if you give kids time to
be silly, they're going.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
To be silly. Well, no question about that. So this
really is all about getting to and from school and
using the metro buses to do it, and having to
gather together in one place, concentrated, which obviously welcomes the
opportunity for violence between young people. So we're down to
transit for public schools. Is that really that's it, isn't it?

Speaker 5 (01:23:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:23:26):
Absolutely, I mean this these weren't problems seven, eight, nine
years ago when CPS had they're unbussing, you know, where
you were picking up the bus in your own neighborhood
and going to schools. We just didn't see these problems
now that obviously that they're using these transit centers. I mean,
look at Oakley. Oakley has never been a problem. Now
of a sudden, this transit center there has been a

(01:23:48):
hub for issues in Oakley and it's starting to terrorize
their neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
Well, what a crying shame that is. Has anybody going
back to the well and talked about maybe going back
to the way it used to be in terms of trans.

Speaker 19 (01:24:00):
It, Well, I think the biggest problem they've had is
the fact that CPS leadership has been changing. They don't
have a permanent director superintendent for Cincinnati Public Schools. So,
you know, just like the police department was, when you
have an interim achieved for interim director, they're not going

(01:24:20):
to make any kind of extreme changes or drastic changes
until they have a permanent role. And that's that typically
ends up being a problem that we see it all
the time. But instance that police department, if you have
an interim everything's going to be status quo into a
permanent person's named.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Well, what a shame that is this? I mean, this
is a problem that's screaming for a solution, a solution
that seems to be I mean, you bring it up
here this morning. Go back to the old ways. The
transit system. The kids aren't going to be congregating together
for a long periods of time. You'll have an end
of violence at least at these transit centers. That's a
simple solution, simple fix. It doesn't require a permanent position

(01:25:01):
to do it, just requids someone with the willpower to
start implementing it and figuring out how to pay for
it right now.

Speaker 19 (01:25:08):
I mean, these are simple concepts to you and I,
but I guess they become very complex when you get
to that level of leadership. And I guess they're just
afraid to make changes until they know who's going to
ultimately be in charge.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
Well again, i'll repeat crying and shame. Now you mentioned
reportable crimes. I have this theory and perhaps maybe you,
as the FOP president ken Cover, can confirm it or
deny it. In the aftermath of all the old the
defund the police and the police are evil, it's inherently
racist thing. Blah blah blah blah blah. I hopefully we
have gotten past that nonsense and er back to supporting

(01:25:46):
our men and women in uniform because they do keep
our neighborhoods safe. But the bubble seem to have gotten
burst in so far as law and law enforcement's morale.
When you have a revolving door of crime and you
don't get rewarded by seeing the purp that you busted
your hump chasing down on the streets see justice, you're

(01:26:07):
less inclined to maybe arrest them or report a crime.
Is that still kind of a concept going on? Because
I keep reading that, well, violent crimes down, this gets down,
and it's down. It could be down simply because nobody's
reporting crimes that happen.

Speaker 19 (01:26:21):
Yeah, I think that the biggest impact on this isn't
necessarily with the police, because you know, the police, if
they know, they're going to go and there if somebody
calls the police dance for a report to be done,
they're going to go complete the report. But to your point,
what's happening, and we've seen this, I've talked to officers
about this, is that you have people that go, look,

(01:26:41):
forts system is not going to do anything to them anyway,
So I'm just not even going to report this right
because they don't want to waste their time. They don't
want to go down to court, you know, and and
spend two or three different appearances down there. For some
defendant to maybe show up, maybe not show up, and
then ultimately when the case comes to a conclusion, they
get nothing out of it. So I think, honestly, there's
some citizens you know that are victims of crime that

(01:27:03):
are fed up with the justice system and saying nothing's
going to happen to these people, So you know, the
heck with him, I'm not even gonna bother reporting.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
Well, that has me a little down. I'm not going
to ask you to stick your nose in matters political.
It might not be good for you, but you can
feel free to chime in if you prefer to. But
I'm a little worried now with the post election, we
have Connie Pillage and Charmane McGuffey stays in her role,
so we kind of have a handle on how that's
going to be at the Sheriff's office. But with Connie

(01:27:32):
Pillach's Hamilton County prosecutor, we don't have a Melissa Powers
tough on crime prosecutor any longer. That, coupled with a
lot of the woke judges we have, which we know
are very very soft on crime, have any perception of
whether this is going to get worse before it gets better.

Speaker 9 (01:27:51):
Well, that's the million dollar question.

Speaker 11 (01:27:52):
I know.

Speaker 19 (01:27:53):
I was asked this the day after the election with
some of the local media, and I'm actually going to
meet with Connie Pillage tomorrow. She and I exchange in text.
She seemed very very interested to meet with me. But
those are some of the questions that I'm going to
ask her. Is how you know what's this going to
look like? Because ultimately, it doesn't matter who the prosecutor
in this county is as far as law enforcement, because
we work with the prosecutor's office. To your point, you know,

(01:28:16):
if things are trending to where we are going to
just be soft on crime, it is certainly going to
make a huge impact. But I think it's one of
those things where I think we are best to just
wait and see. You know, Connie's really an unknown.

Speaker 9 (01:28:30):
Because she hasn't been a county prosecutor.

Speaker 19 (01:28:32):
So I think always we really do right now is
just buckle up and see how things are gonna go.
I mean, that's really the only choice we really have
at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:28:41):
Bow our heads and pray. How are things that the
Since a police department from a rale standpoint, you haven't
any uh uh. I thinks getting any better because all
the reports I keep getting and I'm not asking you
to agree with me or disagree, but I can't find
any of my since a police department, friends or little
birds that normally whisper in my ear about matters involved

(01:29:04):
in this insant police that have much of good news.
And so far as morale is concerned, you know.

Speaker 19 (01:29:10):
Every day is a challenge, and I've talked about this
before where it really depends on where you work. You know,
some districts are tougher than others to work in. You know,
some districts face more violent crime than others. You know,
it's it's one of these things where I know, certainly
getting our contract done and getting a significant race certainly

(01:29:30):
helps a little bit, but that's certainly not the end
all be all, so and we just keep on plugging along.

Speaker 4 (01:29:37):
You know.

Speaker 19 (01:29:38):
This last week I was a couple of different trainings,
and you know, we had a council member that wanted
to come to show support. In my career, I don't
think we've ever had a time where we have Cincinnati
council members that are willing to come just to say
thanks for being there. So it does seem like the
pendulum is starting to swing badly to where law enforcement

(01:29:59):
is being appreciated, but we're certainly not seeing it yet
in the courts.

Speaker 9 (01:30:04):
And that's a.

Speaker 19 (01:30:05):
Huge impact on morale. Is to your point, you go
arrest somebody that's you know, you get done fighting with
and only to find out that they're going to get
probation or they don't even get convicted, that certainly is
something that will extremely, extremely have a big impact on morale.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
Well, I suppose that's a conversation you would obviously have
with Connie Pilla's like, Listen, Connie, we would love for
you to be tough on crime. And this woke nonsense
obviously hasn't done any city in the United States of
America a whit's worth of good. Look at how deteriorated
these cities have become, look at how the reversals are
happening across this country. So start on the right foot

(01:30:44):
being tough on crime. I think that's a reasonable request.
And then how about leaning on some of these woke
judges and telling them, listen that those days are over.
We are not doing ourselves any service by letting people
who are violent and have committed you know, multiple crimes
in the community out on no bond or with very
light sentences. I think that's a that's an easy ask

(01:31:06):
ka Connie Billich whether the judges will listen to her.
But she's got to have more pull with the woke
judges than a Melissa Powers would have.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
Sure.

Speaker 19 (01:31:15):
I mean, you look at what went on in Seattle
and San Francisco and how they're now backtracking. Yeah, trying
to fix all of these crazy policies. Let's hope that
Cincinnati and the elected officials learned that it did not
work there and now they're all backtracking.

Speaker 1 (01:31:30):
Let's not even go there to begin with Amen to
that and real quick before we part company. Ken cob Or,
FLP President, any comments on the Addison police dissolving. I
did had that out this morning when I was a kid.
You know, I'm fifty nine revealing how old I am.
But yeah, you did not. You didn't go one mile
an hour over the speed limit when you were cruising

(01:31:51):
through Addison you would get pulled over. It was like
they had some reason. They were really, really, really tough
on speeding, but overall seaking your reaction to the dissolution
of the police department there.

Speaker 19 (01:32:04):
Well, you know it's the Addison police departments had had
troubles for years with funding, and now you know, with
having their their main source of tax revenue being the
plant right there on the Ohio River closing, which I
saw a stat that that accounts for three hundred of
their eight hundred thousand dollars a year in revenue.

Speaker 9 (01:32:24):
I mean, I get it. I mean what else are
you supposed to do? I mean, I know it's a
tough decision.

Speaker 19 (01:32:29):
But you have the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department that patrols
in that kind of southwestern.

Speaker 9 (01:32:34):
Part of the county.

Speaker 19 (01:32:36):
You know they're more than capable, you know, folks, But
it's a hit anytime a police department is forced to close.

Speaker 9 (01:32:43):
But I don't know what other choice they would have.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
Had well with that loss of funding, I tend to
agree with you. I wasn't aware that that was the
such a sizeable share of their budget. So any event,
Hamilton County Sheriff's Office will be covering the territory and
I trust will do a decent ken Kober, thanks for
what you do. God bless the Cincinnt Police Department and
the men and women who serve so proudly and keep

(01:33:06):
us protected and safe. We have your back and the
back of the police department here in the fifty five
CARSS Morning Show. Ken, I'll look forward to having you
back on the program real soon, hopefully with some good news.

Speaker 9 (01:33:16):

Speaker 1 (01:33:18):

talking about the lame Duck agenda in Columbus. We just
call Columbus generally lame. I was joke about it's like
herding cats, and I sure hope the Trump administration is
like that. Finally called the House for the Republicans, So
the Republicans have a slim majority in the House. They

(01:36:28):
got the Senate, they got the presidency. Let's just not
squander it by bickering and complaining and fighting. Let's get
the nose to the grindstone to start cutting and cutting
and cutting and cutting. It's one thing I have at
least a measure of optimism. For God knows what's gonna
happen with the war in Ukraine. I don't think Donald
Trump's capable of laying hands on it and just ending it.

(01:36:50):
Even though apparently funding may be cut off now with
the a new administration, I yet sworn in Democrats obviously
for more funding for Ukraine as are summer Republicans, but
the likelihood of more going over less of a possibility,
at least at this moment in time. Back over to
New York post lease in terms of areas where you

(01:37:12):
can certainly cut I mentioned a handful of these before,
but in the remaining moments of the segments, UH, take
away the guns and the ammunition from the Environmental Protection Agency.
I wouldn't have any problem with that. Apparently six hundred
and twenty thousand dollars spent on guns and AMMO, bulletproof armor,
night vision equipment, military grade weapons. Why would the EPA

(01:37:37):
need any of that? We give money to China. Fifty
eight point seven million dollars given to China between twenty
seventeen to twenty two for things like one one hundred
grand to promote gender equality through the use of New

(01:37:57):
Yorker magazine cartoons. I would love to say, you can't
make this stuff up, but this is the kind of
thing that you would make up. But this is real.

Uh okay, the history and sociological impact of liver disease
in Egypt and the nature of imprisonment in England from

(01:39:00):
fifteen fifty to eighteen hundred. You work for that, folks.
I don't care if it's a fraction of a moment
in time. You paid taxes and it went to fund
this crap. There's someone out there that knows somebody inside
government and just says, hey, man, I want to do
a book on the Chinese and the Mongolian relations in

(01:39:24):
this one small decade of time three hundred years ago.
Can you score me a grant?

Speaker 4 (01:39:30):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:39:30):
Sure, you're a friend. Six hundred thousand dollars. Work for you.
That happens all the bloody time. It should never happen.
It just keeps getting worse and worse every year, and
nobody's hands are clean, not a soul. In government, there
may be one or two people who refuse to play

(01:39:54):
that game. People refuse to abide I think Congress from
Massi's going to join the program at eight o five.
Probably is one of the very few people who you
could say, if you had to guess, would never ever
ever ever abide by that or take that kind of
stuff or direct taxpayer money to stupid, stupid programs. Seven

(01:40:41):
think of your safety before you think you're comfort. And
speaking of comfort, first fire of the season last night. Yeah,
I did have to replace the batteries in my remote control,
and I know how silly it sounds, but either the
remote control gas fireplace is really awesome. I just love
it to death. You can adjust the flames, like two
different types of flames in there. You can have them

(01:41:01):
both going for a roaring fire, a small little fire.
You got lights in there. It just it looks beautiful.
It all looks very, very real, which would take the
fun out of it. Didn't look real. But that was
the insert I got when I replaced the old one
after the inspection revealed that I might burn my house
down if I used the old fireplace. Yeah, build a special.

(01:41:22):
It was not vented properly and heat was trapped, and
obviously a roaring fire and a fireplace generates a whole
lot of heat, and I guess enough so that it
could have caught the wood framing behind it on fire.
Bottom line is it went out, replaced the whole winding,
got a brand new firebox and the gorgeous, gorgeous architectural

(01:41:42):
beauty of that and just melds right within the look
of our living room. So that happened quite a few
years ago. But last night, press the button, there's a fire.

Speaker 5 (01:41:53):
Love it.

Speaker 1 (01:41:54):
You can do that, or you can go with a
regular wood burner. If you want to stick with that,
that's great, but have it inspect. Did get yourself a
carbon monoxide detector, fracture a special piece of mind which
everyone should have one of those. But they have certified
chimney sweeps. They do all kinds of chimney work. They
can build one cap and damper replacement, free standing. Stove's

my listener, is certainly responsible for getting Bernie Marino in

at work up through the election to get that accomplished.
Donovan and El welcome back in a big congratulations to
you for all of your hard work, as well as

(01:43:58):
everybody in Americans for Prosperity for bringing home a big
win here in the state of Ohio.

Speaker 13 (01:44:05):
Brian, really really appreciate it and still still enjoying seeing
the fact that we've got under like Bernie Moreno representing
the state of Ohio.

Speaker 1 (01:44:14):
Yeah, well, moving along, You're not done and the work
is never done. Back in focusing on the state of
Ohio and legislative agenda, I guess my summary of my
perception of Columbus is like herding cats. In spite of
the fact that the Republicans have total control, they don't

(01:44:36):
seem to really accomplish anything big, Like how about cutting
our taxes? We're number forty four in the nation on
individual taxes. We could improve our souls dramatically in that realm.
Are you working on that at Americans for Prosperity.

Speaker 13 (01:44:51):
Yeah, I mean, now that the politics is done, the
elections or the votes are in, and we know who's
going to be representing us next year, the real work begins, right, Brian,
it's actually going out and getting the things done, or
as Jim Jordan's famous for saying, right, doing what you
said you're going to do, and we had AFP are
going to be holding folks accountable to get that done.

(01:45:12):
In tax reform, getting Ohio to become a zero income
tax state, the first of the Midwest, the tenth of
the nation. It's one of the main priorities we have
is we're having initial conversations with incoming lawmakers here in
the state of Ohio about what they need to make
a priority of in the first six months of twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:45:30):
Well, when you hear about obviously some Republicans will push
back on the idea. What is their motivation for not
wanting to embrace the idea of lowering the state of
Ohio's taxes.

Speaker 13 (01:45:45):
Well, I think the biggest thing is is when everybody
gets to Columbus, they bring their setup priorities, and a
lot of those priorities require tax payer funding. And so
you can imagine, right with ninety nine state reps, thirty
three state senators, and a governor, all with their own
spending priorities. They've got different ideas of how they want
to spend the money pot despite many of them, you know,

(01:46:09):
while on the campaign trailer, agreeing they want to get
rid of the income tax. And so our challenge really
are it's really comes through the voice of our activists, right,
the citizens who elected these folks that we bring to
the state House to remind folks that, hey, despite all
these nice things you want to do with my taxpayer dollars,
maybe we need to keep that focused on just a

(01:46:29):
few key critical government functions. And then if we do that,
we can actually put the rest of that money back
that you've been collecting since the seventies through our paychecks,
back in the pockets of the hard working Higlands who
pay these bills and ultimately achieve the mission of the
limping names from tax But it just comes down to reminded, folks,

(01:46:50):
you can't do everything for everybody. You really got a
priority we need. You need leadership that's going to prioritize
what the thing is spending its money on.

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
Well, Donovan, and if I may observe, since government does
such a really, really crappy job of fixing anything, maybe
they should just start with the proposition that no, don't
turn to Columbus to have your problems solved. We already
have too much on our plate, as evidence by how
much money we spend, and evidence by the fact that
so many of these programs and these policies and these
plans have been around for decades without really anything to

(01:47:20):
show for it. Maybe you should start looking inward and
relying on your local community and quit sending taxpayer dollars
to Columbus because we're not going to fix it.

Speaker 13 (01:47:30):
Just the thought, well yeah, one hundred percent. And I
think you know, that's the kind of message we drive.
We try to drive home to legislators who are saying, well, well,
this is a crisis, right, we need to We've got
a problem we need to fix. And you say, well, yeah,
but we live in up in a world where bad
things are going to happen from time to time, and
you know, government can't be the solution to all people's problems.

(01:47:53):
What about like pulling back regulations or real and back
red tape so that you can empower the folks close
to that problem to be able to solve it. Right,
And one way to do it is not take money
out of their pockets through taxation, so that you can
redistribute that welfare on the state. Right, Let's keep it
in the hands of the folks who know best how
to utilize it and the closest to the problems. And

(01:48:16):
let's if there's a red tape regulation barrier that exists,
let's go be a champion, a warrior to remove that
so they can go out and do the good things
in the community they want to do it. It's bottom
up solutions, it's local governance that it's back.

Speaker 1 (01:48:32):
And one of the local solutions of problems is a
better education for our young people. And I know that
Americans for Prosperity recommends the universal ed choice voucher system
that was passed by one hundred and thirty fifth General Assembly.
But apparently work remains to be done. What needs to
be done to embrace and expand this idea of just

(01:48:52):
choice for education.

Speaker 13 (01:48:54):
Well, I think one of the biggest challenges we're going
to face next year when you're mayor of figiling On
is the folks who are just outright opponents, just pure
They just fundamentally at a core level, disagree with the
idea that parents are best equipped to make educational choices
for their children. And those folks are going to be

(01:49:16):
coming after the money that's been allocated in the you know,
in the state budget this passed by Anium for these
these universal school choice program we have now in the
state of Ohio, and so we're need to remain vigilant
on defending that. But then also I think working to
lower the barriers. There's still an income threshold that exists,
there's some administrative bureaucracy that makes it challenging for schools

(01:49:38):
to be able to access those dollars in a timely
manner to fund their operations. And so I think there's
a lot of defensive need here right now to make
sure we retain the programs we have, but then also
some opportunities to move forward in terms of raining bringing
down some of the red tape, because that's what government's
best that bright, it's just creating it might it might

(01:49:59):
open up one opportunity, but to create three or four
more challenges as it goes. And so I think that's
where we're going to continue to continue to work to
make sure we keep the UH, we keep it easy
for families toil to access when they need.

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
To access it.

Speaker 1 (01:50:12):
And formally, excuse me before we part company today, UH,
Donald and nail Americans for prosperity UH. Energy policy. Obviously,
we had a real problem with corruption in the state
of Ohio, some folks who are doing jail time as
a consequence of that. Are we still sort of a
ship without a rudder on energy policy in Ohio?

Speaker 13 (01:50:30):
Donald, Yeah, I think I think what we've seen since
the House Bild six scandal is the large Cronius operations
have largely gone back, retreated back into the shadows where
they belong. But what we're seeing is a slow creeping
in of ideas by the utilities and others to to

(01:50:52):
kind of get their hands back on the uh, you know,
get their good get back on the tax payer diamonds.
So uh, I think what we need to do though,
what we failed to do something we've acknowledged.

Speaker 4 (01:51:02):
In talking with our you know, there's good conservative.

Speaker 13 (01:51:05):
Legislators around the state House, and some coalition partners like
Bucket Institute, is recognized we can't just say what's bad.
We need to actually be able to go out there
and give legislators legislation that can accomplish some of the
things we do need to see an energy right, like
lowering our energy costs, increasing our supply. And so that's

(01:51:25):
one of the things we're going to be doing. I
think we'll see that as a major priority for our
chapter and what we do next year, not just because
energy prices remain high, but because we have to remain
vigilant against a utility dominated paradigm right now. We need
to make it a consumer dominated paradigm where we'll focused
on making sure energy is affordable and abundant and reliable

(01:51:46):
here in the state of Ohio. And I think that's
going to be a really exciting area to be working
in going into twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:51:52):
I agree, especially with the Trump administration, presumably all of
the above energy strategy, you're not going to have a
federal government fighting you at every turn trying to bring
about a realistic energy policy for Ohioans. So fingers crossed,
it's Americans for Prosperity dot org. Still looking for folks
to help out. I see there's a donate button there, Donovan.

(01:52:14):
I imagine you take a contribution or two to keep
funding the good work you're doing.

Speaker 11 (01:52:18):
Well.

Speaker 13 (01:52:18):
Absolutely to get folks. We bring folks to the State House.
And in order to do that it takes you know,
you still got a fuel up the car and get folks,
get folks into Columbus. And so we welcome any and
all contributions to Time, Talent or Treasure to help us
do what we do.

the return you'll get on the investment. AFP brought at
home for Ohio in large part with Bernie Moreno as
well as the President. I know we're a red state,
but it takes a lot of work. They knocked on

give you a huge amount of credit thanks to you
and the team, Donovan. You and I will be talking again,

(01:52:52):
and good luck working forward with the remaining opportunity you
have under the current electrical the current administration in Columbus.
I know it's a tough road to ho but I'm
glad you're there doing that work. Thank you, Brian. We'll
be back with an update next week. Look forward to it.
Stick around, folks. We're going to learn about Alzheimer's a
special UH Empower You America seminar tonight. Jackie Williams will

(01:53:14):
join the program coming up next to talk about that.
Give me a little tip of the Iceberg glance of
what you're gonna learn in the meantime. Boost your festivities

five kre CD talk station right time I was happy

(01:54:40):
to welcome to a fifty five KRC morning show a
subject matter near and dear to my heart for all
the wrong reasons. Alzheimer's sucks, and no one knows more
about that than Jackie Williams. She's a program manager for
the Greatest SINCINNTI Chapter of Alzheimer's Association. Before being joining
the Association, she served as a volunteer for close to
ten years, helping to educate those in the community regarding

(01:55:01):
challenges individuals face with living with dementia. She was her
mother's full time caregiver when she was in the later
stages of dementia, with hands on experience, her passion to
continue her work and serving this population letter to join
the staff at the Alzheimer's Association. Welcome Jackie Williams. Let
me start by thanking you for your hard work with
the Alzheimer's Association. My father struggled with Alzheimer's dementia and

(01:55:25):
ultimately lost his life as a consequence, and my mom
was his primary caregiver and oh my god, you know
as well as anybody it takes a huge toll on
the family and most notably the primary caregiver. Welcome to
the program.

Speaker 16 (01:55:41):
Oh thank you, Brian.

Speaker 20 (01:55:42):
I appreciate you inviting us to be here today, and
I'm so sorry to hear about your journey with the disease.
And you're absolutely correct. The toll on caregivers is tremendous,
and we work every day out in communities just making
sure we provide programs and resources and services to help

(01:56:03):
families and caregivers through that journey.

Speaker 11 (01:56:06):
It is a long haul.

Speaker 20 (01:56:08):
Oftentimes as you are you.

Speaker 1 (01:56:10):
Witness, yes, a quite a long haul. And it's just
heart heartbreaking too. You know, my father was is the
sharpest knife in the drawer, always quick witted, always on
his face. You could you can never outwit my dad.
And to have him struggle with and deteriorate and ultimately
pass as a consequence of this was just sort of like,

(01:56:30):
you know, throwing a salt on the wound. And I
note the numbers. I've been looking at the numbers that, yeah,
I have in front of me, six point seven million
Americans and to county or twenty twenty three, one in
nine aged sixty five or order are living with Alzheimer's.
These numbers just keep going up. Is there any do
we know anything about where it comes from or why

(01:56:52):
the numbers increase every year.

Speaker 20 (01:56:55):
So what aging is definitely the number one risk factor
and so as our population and this baby boom generation
is aging and it's such a huge piece of our population. Yes,
the numbers are increasing, but the good news is we
have been making incredible strides in research that are allowing

(01:57:18):
us to find treatments to help slow down that progression.
We still do not have a cure, We still do
not have a prevention, but every day those research projects
are getting us closer and closer to getting us to
what our mission is, a world without Alzheimer's and all
other dementia. So, as an association, while we are Alzheimer's Association,

(01:57:41):
we do care and support individuals who have a form
of dementia that may not be Alzheimer's.

Speaker 4 (01:57:50):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:57:50):
Tonight's Empower You Suminar and it begins at seven pm.
It's either virtual or live. You can go to two
twenty five North On Boulevard to participate in person. You
can log in from the comfort of your own home.
Just go to empower You America dot org. Please register
ahead of time now. The name of the seminar is
ten Warning Signs of Alzheimer's. What is the the Is

(01:58:10):
there a first leading indicator that might be a red
flag that people might want to start paying attention to,
or is it just vary from person to person.

Speaker 20 (01:58:20):
It definitely can vary from person to person, most definitely,
and it's a lot of it is based on what
form of dementia they may have and what kind of
signs they may start demonstrating. And so one of the
things that is always I think a bit confusing and
troubling for a lot of people. You know, how many

(01:58:41):
times is we're getting older, we start forgetting somebody's name
or trying to figure out, like what was that? And
oftentimes I'll hear people, just probably jokingly but maybe not say,
oh boy, I must be getting to Alzheimer's or I
must be getting dementia. Yeah, And that may not necessarily
be the case. It could be a tribute to something else.

(01:59:01):
You know, stress can manifest in terms of like all
of a sudden, you know, your cognitive abilities in your
thinking process might be hindered by stress. So it may
be that or it just may be normal aging. And
there is a difference between the things that we experience
as normal aging and what could be what i'll call

(01:59:22):
crossing the line and not necessarily normal aging that we
would encourage individuals to go and get checked and make
sure that they're working with their physicians to just evaluate
and monitor and try to get any type of an
early diagnosis, because that's where the most successes in finding

(01:59:42):
treatment and being able to have a more impactful journey
through this disease.

Speaker 1 (01:59:48):
Now, in terms of getting a diagnosis, okay, you're talking
about tonight the ten warning signs of all Timer's. Let's
say someone has enough of these indicators are like, okay, well,
I really should schedule an appointment. How is Alzheimer's diagnosed?
Where yes, this is early onset of Alzheimer's, or no,
it's just just didn't remember the person's name.

Speaker 11 (02:00:11):
Right, right. Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:00:12):
So you know, there's a variety of different ways that
we go through and try and get individuals diagnosed. The
first one, actually, in my opinion, starts with the family
or those close by the individual and start taking notice
and really making sure that the individual is aware that

(02:00:34):
some of these things are happening with them. Oftentimes, there's
a lot of denial. There's like, oh, no, I'm just
getting old. I don't I don't need anything. I don't
I don't need to address that, And so oftentimes tracking
and recognizing and encouraging somebody to go and get further assessment.

(02:00:55):
And if you're lucky enough like I was to be
able to attend those doctor's appointments, my mom, I kept
a lot of notes in terms of like, here are
the changes I'm seeing, and when it's happening, and why
it might be happening and whatnot, and that helps the
physicians know that, yep, this is a little bit more
than what normal aging might be.

Speaker 11 (02:01:15):
There is a lot of.

Speaker 20 (02:01:17):
Testing that happens, and I will tell you right now
a lot of it will be physicians trying to rule
out other things that it could be that might be
causing this cognitive impairment or decline, because there's a lot
of things that could have an impact on that, and
so finding out what it may not be kind of

(02:01:38):
helps lead to Okay, do we take that next step,
which is potentially MRIs pet scans and spinal taps. The
spinal tap fluid can be an indicator of whether or
not you have Alzheimer's. But the great news is we
are getting really close in our research to a point

(02:02:01):
where we might find a day and we're really close
to it where you can get the diagnosis through a
biomarker blood test, and being able to do that makes
it so much more available to individuals who might have
cost prohibitations to really paying for some of those tests, right,
but also in some of our rural areas where they

(02:02:23):
don't have access to some of those things, and making
sure that we're getting them diagnosed as well.

Speaker 1 (02:02:29):
Okay, and real quickly here because we're out of time,
and I acknowledge that, so my producer knows. I am
paying attention to the clock. But once diagnosed, is there
a treatment protocol? I mean, we don't have a cure
for it yet, So are there exercises or brain challenges
or things that we can do to slow down the
progression or is it just okay, you got the information,
prepare yourself for the worst.

Speaker 19 (02:02:51):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 16 (02:02:51):
There's a couple of things.

Speaker 20 (02:02:52):
One is definitely we have a whole series on healthy
living for your brain and body, and there's things that
we can do, even as healthy, non diagon nosed individuals
can do to try and start warding off maybe the
onset of dementia. But here more recently, we actually have
a couple of treatments that are actually slowing down the

(02:03:13):
progression of the disease, and they are very new, like
here within the last couple of years. So we are
working with the public health policies and hospitals and insurance
companies to make sure that we are allowing good, ample
accessibility to those treatments and making sure that we can

(02:03:33):
get those individuals in the loop and being treated.

Speaker 1 (02:03:37):
Wonderful, wonderful log in tonight or sure with two twenty
five North and Bold of Our Jackie William's going to
do a deep dive into the balance of these maybe
even give you some hope for down the road. Jackie Williams,
it's been a real pleasure having you on the program.
Fascinating discussion and fingers crossed and money coming your way
from folks and my listening audience want to help try
to solve this this insidious disease. Log In empower you

(02:03:59):
America to show up at the Empire You Studios. Thank
you for what you do. Jackie. It's been a real
pleasure having you on the program.

Speaker 16 (02:04:06):
Thank you.

Speaker 20 (02:04:07):
We appreciate it so much.

Speaker 1 (02:04:08):
Anytime anytime folks get in touch with cover sincey recos.
Matter of fact, I was having lunch yesterday with some wonderful,
wonderful folks small business owners they are, and I personally
recommended that they get in touch with COVER SINCEY. So
I talked to my buddy Jeff, who's got a small
business and Cover. Since he with his number of employees,
I think he's gonna be like fifteen or twenty, I
don't know. Saved has improved his business as bottom line

(02:04:31):
by fifty thousand dollars. Will also getting he and his
employees much better medical coverage. Work with Cover SINCEY, and
it doesn't cost you a dime. Just get in touch
with them and have them take a look at your situation.
Whether you're an individual looking for your own insurance because
you don't have any, you're in a group plan you
don't like, it's too expensive, too much out of pocket responsibility,

(02:04:52):
or you're a small business owner and you're looking for
a better way for your employees. If you can get
them great medical coverage with dollar one coverage and you
know frack to what had cost someplace else, you're going
to retain those employees. So get in touch with COVER.
Since he asked the question, all it takes is a
few moments of your time to get the ball started.
And again there's no obligation to you. It's five one

(02:05:12):
three eight hundred call five one three eight hundred two

Speaker 8 (02:05:24):
What's up, everybody, It's Peter Schreeger.

Speaker 1 (02:05:26):
We're back for the season with Peter Schreeger. In each episode,
I'm going to take you inside and hear about it.

Speaker 13 (02:05:32):
Understand the ignorant chick on the campuses talk about it.

Speaker 3 (02:05:36):
They're just getting away with all this rather than know
in fact.

Speaker 1 (02:05:39):
Fifty five KRC ATO six fifty five kr CD Talk
Station Happy Thursday Extra Special. Happy Thursday. Didn't get him
yesterday in advanced to Judge Jenneta Paulitano, but we get
him today. Congressman Massey, welcome back to the fifty five
KRC Morning Show. It's always a pleasure to have you
on my program. Great to be back on Brian. How

(02:06:00):
are you feeling post election, Congressman, Oh.

Speaker 8 (02:06:03):
It's so great up here. The liberals are just deflated.

Speaker 6 (02:06:09):
Yesterday I walked out of our conference where we're voting
for Speaker and Majority Leader and whip and everything down
to executive vice deputy prom queen.

Speaker 8 (02:06:18):
I call it it's like prom court for the GOP.

Speaker 6 (02:06:21):
Anyways, I walked out of that meeting and I was
the only Republican who wasn't in the meeting. So I
got swarmed by the media and I'm trying to go
up the escalator and escape them, and they keep pelting
me with what about Matt Gates?

Speaker 8 (02:06:33):
What about that? Can he be confirmed?

Speaker 6 (02:06:36):
And I just kind of turned around and smiled and
I said, Hey, you can do recess appointments and they
were like, but what, And I looked at him.

Speaker 8 (02:06:46):
I said, suck it up. He's your AG.

Speaker 6 (02:06:49):
And they caught it on video. So now I'm in
a little bit of trouble telling reporters to suck it up.
But if you could have seen the looks on their
faces when I said recess appointments, and they went from
shock to tear when I said suck it up.

Speaker 1 (02:07:03):
So you're okay with with Gates and some listeners bad ideas.
Some listeners say it's a great idea. He can't please
all the people all the time, that's one thing I know.
And you don't throw out the good for the sake
of trying to find the perfect because that person doesn't exist.
But overall you're comfortable with it.

Speaker 6 (02:07:19):
Oh well, listen, I've got disagreements with Matt Gates. He
should have never pulled the trigger on Kevin McCarthy because
he ended up with Mike Johnson, who was not.

Speaker 8 (02:07:29):
Doing the job that Kevin did. And so you know,
but Matt and I we talk, we're friends.

Speaker 6 (02:07:35):
We've had that discussion, but we also serve together on
the Judiciary Committee. And we get Merrick Garland who comes
in there, and may Orcus comes in there, and the
ATF director comes in there, FBI director Christopher Ray, and
they all give us these well, sir, that's the subject
of an ongoing investigation, and it's our long standing policy.

Speaker 8 (02:07:56):
Not the comment.

Speaker 6 (02:07:57):
But Matt just he's been tearing them up for years.
He and I've been passing the ball back and forth.
If I get five minutes and I only need three
of it, I give two to Matt. And I told Matt,
I can't wait till he comes to Judiciary as the
age and I get to pelt him with questions.

Speaker 1 (02:08:17):
Well, I'm glad you know you obviously sound uplifted bubbly.
Obviously you're enjoying the schadenfreude the Democrats are allowing you,
so I am as well. I'll have to admit now.
The other day I saw it was posted somewhere on
the Internet, some place out there, Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Massey,

(02:08:38):
and I echoed that on my Facebook page, and some
people said, no, no, no, no no. If he was
Secretary of Agriculture, then we'd lose him in Congress. We
can't afford to lose anybody, so not as sure how
a replacement will be put in for you if that
were to happen. But I thought to myself this morning,
even said it on the program, Well, Thomas Massey's the
kind of guy that if he was Secretary of agric Culture,

(02:09:00):
he would do everything in his power to whittle away
the Agriculture Department of virtually nothing and maybe even eliminate it,
so he would be out a job. He's the kind
of person that would do that. What's your reaction to
the concept of being agricultural secretary of What would you
do if you were in that role, either really or
under a hypothetical scenario.

Speaker 8 (02:09:19):
Well, first of all, my approach would not be to
do what you just said.

Speaker 6 (02:09:24):
I think there's some important things that the USDA does,
and you know, we've got big ag and.

Speaker 8 (02:09:30):
Then we've got small farmers.

Speaker 6 (02:09:32):
We've got the corporate you know, industrial meat complex where
you've got four meat processors touching eighty five percent of
the meat in the United States, and then you get
the small farmers trying to sell directly to consumers. My
approach would not be to do anything that would hurt
our agriculture industry. And I think there are things that
we could do to strengthen our agriculture industry, and that

(02:09:54):
includes big companies, but we need to create a parallel
path for small farmers and for consumers because these these
are part of the coalition that helped Trump get elected,
particularly in Pennsylvania where you know you had Amos Miller
being prosecuted for trying to sell raw milk and meat
to directly. Well, the problem is we don't have that

(02:10:17):
alternate path right now in the agriculture sector. And you know,
the USDA is has been captive to the big corporations
and somebody needs to be there to create this parallel
path for healthy food that's not you know, grown the
way everything else has grown. We need a way to

(02:10:39):
get food that's not you know, ultra ultra processed, and
that that would be my approach to it. Create this
off ramp, this parallel path for those folks, and make
sure that we are still the strongest agricultural producer in
the world.

Speaker 1 (02:10:56):
Well we have.

Speaker 6 (02:10:57):
We have, for instance, four times the arable land that
China has. Our land mass is about the same North America,
but we've got four times the arable land that they
have and one quarter of the population they have. So
our race of arable land to people is sixteen times
greater than China, and we need to take advantage.

Speaker 8 (02:11:16):
Of that resource.

Speaker 6 (02:11:17):
Another thing, Brian, you know people are upset that are,
and rightfully so, that our farmland is being sold to China,
or that our farm land's getting covered with solar panels.
By the way, I love solar panels, nothing against them,
but it's just stupid to cover up your farmland with
solar panels.

Speaker 8 (02:11:34):
And the question is not how do you get the
toothpaste back in the tube?

Speaker 6 (02:11:39):
Like there's some people say, well, we should pass laws
to prevent China or corporations from buying up all this farmland.
We should pass laws to keep the solar panels out
of the fields. The reality is that's trying to put
the toothpaste back in the tube. What we need is
an economic model for farmers who own this land that's
better than selling their land to China or for solar panels.

Speaker 8 (02:11:59):
They need to be profitable.

Speaker 9 (02:12:01):
Again.

Speaker 6 (02:12:01):
That's because having trying to buy our land or having
solar panels go in it, that's a symptom of a problem.
That's not the problem. The problem is there's not a
profitable model for small farming in the United States anymore.

Speaker 8 (02:12:13):
It's too hard to achieve.

Speaker 1 (02:12:15):
Well, it's also a symptom and one of the reasons
farming has gotten more expensive, like global warming or temperature
change or whatever, which reduces the amount of available fertilizer,
because they won't allow us to tap into our petrochemical
the oil and the natural gas and things that are
necessary to make fertilizer. That's the reason they would make
a field of solar panels. I mean, I am just

(02:12:39):
beyond myself with relation to this religion, this pseudo religion,
that is, we are exhaling our way to devastation. I
don't buy it, and I view it as a mechanism
to simply liberate money from the very wealthy countries of
the world and offload that via the claims of climate

(02:12:59):
alarmism to third world countries who haven't really, you know,
passed the test of economic mustard.

Speaker 6 (02:13:06):
This this is a scientific fact. People can argue about this,
but they're just ignorant. If they do, you get more
cropy old prayer acre as. The concentration of CO two,
which is a very small trace gas in the atmosphere,
goes up plant food. It is plant food, it is
plant fertilized. When everybody knows that plants take CO two

(02:13:30):
and they make oxygen or transform it into oxygen. The question,
and there's water involved there too. The question is what
happened to the carbon? Right, you've got a carbon dioxide molecule.
It doesn't just turn into an oxygen molecule. The carbon
goes somewhere. Where does it go through? Yeah, it's it's

(02:13:50):
the gluclose that becomes other forms of sugar and carbohydrates.
They're called carbohydrates for a reason. Right, there's water and
carbon involved. And people forget that all of the carbon
that you end up eating it came originated, not in
the ground, but.

Speaker 8 (02:14:06):
From the air.

Speaker 1 (02:14:08):
It's I remember learning that when I was in I
was like K through twelve verblack a school.

Speaker 6 (02:14:16):
The eighth grade, I think, is the last time they
show you that chemical equation where water plus CO two
becomes oxygen and glucose, and everybody just remembers that on
one side is carbon dioxide and on the other is oxygen.
They forget that there's water on the left side of
that equation and glucose on the right side of the equation,
and sunlight is what helps put the energy in to

(02:14:37):
transform that.

Speaker 1 (02:14:38):
Well, of course, that's why we have you here on
the Morning show to help back up my point. Would
I make almost every day anymore on that subject matter
Congress from Massy and hopefully this administration will open itself
up to some more greater scientific reality.

Speaker 6 (02:14:54):
So, but by the way, I haven't been chosen. There's
a rumor on the internet that I've been chosen. I've
not been chosen. There are people advocating on the inside
for me to have that position, But I have not
been chosen by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 1 (02:15:08):
But you would consider it, oh, I would absolutely consider it.
Embrace it. It sounds like there's so much.

Speaker 6 (02:15:14):
That's going on at the USDA for which there is
no congressional mandate. There's no congressional authorization. And this if
you go into any branch of the administration, you will
see this. They're promulgating rules and as you said, some
of them are make it most of that make it
harder for small farms to exist. But they're promulgating these rules,

(02:15:37):
whereas Congress never told them to do that.

Speaker 8 (02:15:40):
For instance, electronic ID for cattle.

Speaker 6 (02:15:43):
Congress never passed the law asking the USDA to require
that all cattle and bison in the United States get
an electronic tag in their ear.

Speaker 8 (02:15:51):
Yet the USDA is promulgating that.

Speaker 1 (02:15:55):
I'm sorry, I'm just laughing at the idiot who came
up with that idea and what the purpose of it.
As let's pause, we'll bring you back in comment further
on that. We obviously got a lot more to talk about.
Congressman Thomas Massey on the fifty five Carty Morning Show.
First though, twenty two three, Firearm Store and Range got
a Mantis demo day coming up this Saturday. Now, this
demo takes place between ten am and two pm. You

(02:16:17):
can check it out yourself the Mantis Live or dry
fire training system. This system helps you dramatically improve your
accuracy with pistols, rifles, and even shotguns by giving you
trackable data, suggestions for improvement, and creative and challenging drills.
It's a multifaceted system and it's a great idea. So

(02:16:38):
it's a heck a great gift idea for the shooter
in your world or for someone who's just starting out
wants to be able to train at home again. You
can do it live or dry fire, So stop by
twenty two to three for a free Mantis demo day
Saturday between ten am and two pm. You can find
them online at twenty two three the number twenty two
fillowed by the word three spelled up. Please tell them.

(02:16:59):
Brian said, Hi, you stop in greatest gun shop and
firing range indoor firing range around twenty two to three
on Route forty two between Mason and Lebanon.

Speaker 3 (02:17:09):
Fifty five KRC is the cost of health insurance making
you sick real quick.

Speaker 1 (02:17:15):
If we leave the topic of agriculture, and yes, you
would take the role as agriculture secretary if it's offered
to you. So let's get him in that role. One
thing I want to know, and again it springs from
this climate religion. Can we stop burning corn and our
gasoline tanks?

Speaker 6 (02:17:32):
Congress amassing It definitely raises the price of food in
the supermarket, but the farmers like it because it also
raises the price of corn that they get.

Speaker 8 (02:17:42):
I'm sure there's something we could do that would make
more sense.

Speaker 1 (02:17:46):
Feel like not doing that?

Speaker 6 (02:17:48):
Well, And you know, here's what I would like to do,
Like to talk to Elon and Vivek over at their
Department of Government Efficiency that's been set up by the
way I've been I've been talking to Viveke. In fact,
the other day I said, I tweeted this, Look, Congress
takes over on January third, and you'll have a new

(02:18:08):
majority in the Senate on January third, for instance. But
the president's not sworn in until January twentieth. We've got
seventeen days. We should put at least a dozen bills
on Trump's desk that are ready to sign when he
sits down.

Speaker 1 (02:18:21):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (02:18:21):
I know he's got a list of things to do
by executive order and executive orders to resind. But to
make this stuff stick, you need legislation. Yes, so I
and so Viveik asked me, well, what's what's some of
those bills? And I said, well, the first one I
would put on his desk is one that's passed the
House multiple times. It's been debated, it's been amended, it's

(02:18:42):
been perfected. The Rains Act.

Speaker 1 (02:18:45):
Oh yeah, right.

Speaker 6 (02:18:47):
If anything's got more than one hundred million dollars of
economic impact and it's a rule that's being promulgated by
an administrative branch, say for instance, the USDA, then it
needs to come back to Congress.

Speaker 8 (02:18:59):
For a vote.

Speaker 6 (02:19:00):
That's just common sense, brilliant. We've already amended and debated
and written that bill. That thing is now we'd have
to pass it again between January third and January twentieth
and send it to the Senate and they would have
to pass it. But why couldn't we get that passed
and get it on President Trump's desk and then we're
ready to go on day one and make it law.

(02:19:22):
It's something that would then be in law, and it
would be forever until, for instance, the Democrats got control
of both chambers and the Presidency in order to reverse it.

Speaker 1 (02:19:33):
If they could try, if they could try, if they
dare to do that politically it maybe they're undoing. Now
back to the Department of Government Efficiency, which I love
the idea. How you could put elon musk and Viva
grammar swimming in a room and just stick the word
doge on the wall and that would be a department.
They don't have to be funded. Jusephpolotonic got a little
bent out of shape yesterday over the idea of having

(02:19:55):
a new department that isn't authorized by the Constitution. I said, well,
you don't need to make it apartment. These have two
guys with a pair of scissors just starting to cut
the fat out of it. But it's an unlimited amount
of fat they can cut out. Do you think it
will be effective? Do you think they can actually get
something accomplished by what way of pairing down the size
and scope of government?

Speaker 6 (02:20:15):
Well, but eventually that has to be enacted either through
an Act of Congress or through an executive act, because
the Office of Government Efficiency won't be an official office
per like these other offices, and so somebody will have
to implement it. So it's going to be a list
of recommendations. By the way, back on the ethanol thing,

(02:20:37):
there's a certain amount of ethanol. That makes sense because
you can change the octane rating of gasoline. But the
problem with where we are right now in ethanol policy
is when you push it to be over a certain amount,
it becomes economically inefficient. So that's something to.

Speaker 1 (02:20:54):
Look at, but it's unnecessary. If you ignore this religion,
then it wouldn't have happened in the first place. My
problem is the genesis of the idea of burning food
in the gas tank comes from the whole concept of
global warming or something.

Speaker 16 (02:21:07):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:21:08):
What I found interesting is when gasoline got high, it
is Biden's policy to allow more ethanol to be put
in the gasoline in California, where it causes a small problem. Yeah,
and he said, well, you know what, We'll let you
have a little bit of smog from the increased ethanol
if it will lower gasoline prices in California. So it's

(02:21:30):
funny they cling to these things until it becomes apparent
to the public what's causing the increase in price, and
then they go to the other direction.

Speaker 1 (02:21:40):
I don't know. I guess everyone's running around in advance
of the elections screaming about this project twenty twenty five
as if it was something that was part of the
Republican Party strategy. No, it was recommendations from an entity
and a group of people outside of government. They got
the whole thing together. It's a think tank paper. Here's
every wish list we've got going back to the Department
of Government Efficiency. I don't know why would have to

(02:22:01):
be funded or anything other than a couple of guys
going through the books and writing down all the stuff
that is fraud, waste and abuse and handing it over
to you, Congressman Massey, to just put it into legislation
and start cutting.

Speaker 8 (02:22:14):
I got to tell you, Congress.

Speaker 6 (02:22:16):
Came up with this thing inside of the Patent Office
that invalidates patents. Now here's the funny thing. The Patent Office,
in the same branch of government. They issue patents, and
then they have this kangaroo court that invalidates patents after
they've issued them.

Speaker 8 (02:22:31):
So they're literally.

Speaker 6 (02:22:31):
Creating patents and destroying them in the same agency. It's
a self licking ice cream cone. And the and the
part of the Patent Office that destroys the patents. It's
a it's a court room, but we already have courts
to settle these matters. So they created another judicial branch
inside of the patent office to kill patents. It's a
it's one example of how government is basically, you know,

(02:22:53):
making windows and then breaking the windows, and we need
to find things like that and and eliminate them.

Speaker 1 (02:23:01):
Couldn't agree more. There's one right there. Just putting in
a piece of legislation and eliminate it. It's done. It
doesn't require a new department to do that. It requires
someone with a pen and ability to creatively write legislation
pursuing to the rules of legislative drafting. See law school
for that.

Speaker 8 (02:23:19):
Yeah, we've got we've got a lot of good stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:23:22):
By the way, Briant, this pent up that we've passed
the House, or it's passed our Judiciary committee, like giving
a right of action for people to sue government agents
that infringe on their First Amendment.

Speaker 8 (02:23:32):
Like, that's another bill we should send right over to
the Senate.

Speaker 1 (02:23:35):
Oh, that would be great, no more standing arguments, you
would have standing wonderful. I'm getting excited about the future here.
Congress Fman Massey, you're always walcome on the morning show
to push these ideas forward, and you always get my
listening audience to back you up on them. Appreciate what
you're doing, enjoy the sunshine and the shot and Freuda
while it lasts, and get ready to hit the ground

(02:23:56):
running because we need a lot getting done between now
and the end of January.

Speaker 8 (02:24:01):
All right, brother, good talking to you.

Speaker 1 (02:24:03):
Always a plague.

Speaker 8 (02:24:03):
Get it done.

Speaker 1 (02:24:04):
I know you will come up at eight twenty eight
fifty five cares the talk station. It is Thursday, so
we're gonna hear from my heart media aviation expert Jay Rattliffe.
After I mentioned my friends at Fast and Pro Roofing,
I had lunch with both Ray and a Mandy yesterday.
Wonderful lunch with the owners of Fast and Pro Roofing.
Those people are absolutely salt of the earth, taking great
care of you always, always, always, and I thank them

(02:24:26):
for that because I've had so many satisfied listeners. You know,
they really do wonderful work and they do price is
always right. This customer service could not possibly be better.
So many stories for my listeners about what Fast and
Pro has done for folks, getting them out of emergencies,
making sure they're taking well care of before you know, like,
for example, the roof replacement might have to be scheduled

(02:24:47):
down the road a little bit, but they're not going
to leave you when a jam with a leaky roof
or something. No, but it all starts with a free
roof inspection. Do you need a new roof? Don't know.
I never knew. I held my apparently had hail damage
for some time before someone finally discovered it and called
up fast and Pro roofing, and sure enough, your roof
is shot. So I got the fifty years shingle. I

(02:25:08):
got a really good fifty years shingle two. It kind
of looks like a slate roof, but you're gonna be
automatically upgraded to the certainty landmark pro fifty years shingle.
If you're going with a new shingle roof, maybe you
might want to choose to go with metal. They do
beautiful metal roofs. They also do stucco work and they
do adobe work. Exterior projects. I don't emphasize those enough,
but a lot of exterior projects like railings and of

(02:25:30):
course sightings, gutters, gutter guards get your gutters cleaned out.
They'll do that for you. You might want to consider
having a man gutter guards while they're there, and of
course that'll help avoid an ice dam. Situation in the
winner which during the winter they can help you out
with that too, free free roof inspection and honest, you're
never gonna get lied to. They will never lie to you.

we have once week with I heart mediaviation. Next for
Jay Rattle of time I very much look forward to
and the welcome back. Jay. Always a pleasure to have
you on the show.

Speaker 18 (02:27:21):
I'm never a problem. I'll be happy to wait until
the dust settles.

Speaker 1 (02:27:25):
My friend, No problem Thomas Massey. You know, if I'm
gonna yield any time to anybody, it's gonna be because
Thomas Massey's on the.

Speaker 4 (02:27:34):
No problem here.

Speaker 1 (02:27:35):
I figured you felt the same way. All right, let's
get one under the belt and out of the way
before we take a break. Passengers being rude. This happens
more and more often every single day, not just on airplanes.

Speaker 18 (02:27:47):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's the passengers behaving badly theme.
I think that's continuing here, Brian. It's the latest viral
photo of a woman traveling in first class.

Speaker 5 (02:27:56):
She's got her feet firmly.

Speaker 18 (02:27:57):
Planted on the wall in front of her, thank you,
and she's got her electronic device plugged into the u
USB port behind her in row two. She is apparently
stealing power from the past and your behind her. And look,
I'm not sure if this entitled person had permission or
not from the person behind her, or if she just
took it anyway, But I mean, the picture of the
deed has gone viral with more than a few unkind comments,

(02:28:21):
and I'm thinking, Okay, I wake up from an app
and I see the person in front of me as
reached behind and stuck their power thing in my.

Speaker 4 (02:28:30):
Seat.

Speaker 5 (02:28:30):
What would I do? Plug it? Would I try to
cut it? I don't know.

Speaker 18 (02:28:35):
I want there to be some serious consequences for infringing.
And I'm not suggesting what people do, but I would
not take kindly to it. And you know, some people,
if you comment on them, they don't care. I mean,
they'll just go about it and it doesn't really seem
to phase them, which is why I really think you
need consequences for this kind of behavior.

Speaker 1 (02:28:55):
Well, I think just simply unplugging it. But I would
also have and my own USB plug to plug into it,
just so I can say, hey, I needed it, it's mine,
it's my seat, you know, in case they got out
of hand or root or something like that. But I
think it's since it's in your space and it's allocated
for your personal use, just going ahead and unplugging it
and seeing what happens is aokay. As a response, Well.

Speaker 18 (02:29:18):
When you plug it, could you accidentally give it like
three big yanks or something, just to knock something out
of her hands.

Speaker 5 (02:29:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:29:24):
He sounds to me like you want to take it
to the next level.

Speaker 19 (02:29:26):
Jay.

Speaker 18 (02:29:27):
I'm trying to be our next aviation story, obviously, but
I'm just tired of people that, you know, reach over
when they're in the aisle seat and slam down the
window shade in front of the person that's sitting in
the window seat. Yeah, or people that just infringe on
other people's space. And you know, it's one thing to
kindly ask and that's fine, but it's another thing just

(02:29:48):
to take it on your own to do it like
you're entitled to the whole row, or not only your row,
but the one in front of you, behind you.

Speaker 5 (02:29:55):
So yeah, that's me just just not acceptable. And you
know this had been a stage photo. I don't know,
because a lot.

Speaker 18 (02:30:02):
Of times we see things on airplanes that I wouldn't
believe had I not been there to see.

Speaker 1 (02:30:07):
Valid point. Always be jaded and senecal when it comes
to things on the internet. That's what Abraham Lincoln's advice
always was. Don't go away more with I heard be
the aviation Expert Jay Rattlife. We'll be right back after
these brief words tax Prepper about carcit talk station Jay Ratliffe,
has I heard me the aviation expert every Thursday year
on the fifty five CARSCA Morning should beginning a thirty
for a few segments. Moving over to San Francisco, duking

(02:30:28):
it out with Oakland. What's the story on this one?

Speaker 18 (02:30:31):
You and I talked about this briefly back in May
when the Oakland Airport officials were trying to find a
way to get more people to fly into their airport,
and they thought, you know, maybe people don't realize how
close we are to San Francisco.

Speaker 5 (02:30:45):
Well, thank you for that.

Speaker 18 (02:30:47):
So what they decided to do was change the name
of the airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.
So they just took their same name of Oakland International
Airport slapped San Francisco Bay on the front. I thought
this would cause more people to recognize they're part of
the San Francisco Bay area and more people would fly there.

Speaker 1 (02:31:06):
Well, it's an accurate description too.

Speaker 4 (02:31:09):
It is.

Speaker 18 (02:31:09):
However, is the San Francisco Airport trademark I don't know.
Apparently there is some issue there because the San Francisco
Airport started pushing back, but not before a lot of
confusion by passengers who were heading to San Francisco saw
the name San Francisco Bay kind of skip the Oakland
International Airport and they're landing at the wrong airport.

Speaker 5 (02:31:30):
They get off the plane and fight, we're twenty.

Speaker 18 (02:31:32):
Three miles from where we're supposed to be going, or
twenty three miles from my connecting flight.

Speaker 5 (02:31:37):
Not a good thing.

Speaker 19 (02:31:38):
A lot of.

Speaker 18 (02:31:39):
Confusion was being created, and finally a judge has stepped
in and said, look, for now, we're going to Oakland
is not to be using the name San Francisco Airport
in their name now whether or not this temporary thing
is going to hold or not, I don't know, because
I mean, it's the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport,

(02:32:00):
So we'll see where it goes. Because I don't see
that as an infringement issue. No, no, no, Well, just
talking about the area that we're located in. But Bran,
the good news is Oakland is getting more passengers. The
bad news is some of them weren't going there.

Speaker 5 (02:32:15):
In the first place.

Speaker 1 (02:32:16):
That's really funny, but it is.

Speaker 5 (02:32:17):
We'll see where it goes.

Speaker 1 (02:32:18):
San Francisco the city, there's San Francisco the Bay right, yep,
and there's Oakland, which sits on San Francisco Bay right.

Speaker 18 (02:32:28):
So a nice alternative airport if you don't want to
mess with the larger San Francisco Airport.

Speaker 5 (02:32:35):
And a lot of suggestion there.

Speaker 1 (02:32:37):
All I can say is, you know, I don't know
a problem with Oakland doing it simply because it's an
accurate name.

Speaker 4 (02:32:42):
It is.

Speaker 5 (02:32:43):
It's they're they're totally accurate.

Speaker 18 (02:32:45):
The problem is a lot of people that are flying
to San Francisco see San Francisco Bay and they're thinking,
okayur absolutely.

Speaker 1 (02:32:54):
Listen, man, I take some responsibility for your own conduct.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna I'm going with.

Speaker 18 (02:32:59):
Oak on that one one vote on the side of Oakland.

Speaker 1 (02:33:02):
There you go, call it whatever the hell they want.
All right, let's see here, Spirit Air. I saw this
article and I kind of figured you bring it up,
wow aka fire or something.

Speaker 19 (02:33:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:33:14):
A routine flight, I mean, you know, Frontier or excuse me,
Fort Lauderdale flying into Port of Prince Haiti like they
do every day, and the plane drops its landing gearts
on final approach when all of a sudden gunfire rops
and they have to take evasive action. They fly out
of the Haitian airspace over the Dominican Republican land and
the pictures of the overhead storage compartment with bullet holes

(02:33:37):
going through them, significant size, quite telling, quite horrific. But
the issue here is, you know, we have probably four
or five flights today that were going into Haiti on
a daily basis, with Jeff Blue and Spirit and others.
But Brian back in early September, the State Department on
their very useful website, and I'm being totally sincere here,

(02:34:00):
they have travel advisories to places around the world, and
when it came to Haiti, they were recommending not to
travel there because Americans were seeing an increased number of assaults, robberies,
kidnapping for ransom, and they added this little bit at
the end the airport could be a focal point for
armed activity. Yeah, now this is early September, so now

(02:34:22):
the airline's anywhere? Well it is, And you know, Sherry
flew down there after the earthquake and helped with you
know a lot of some things with the kids and
different things for a week, and I was worried when
she went. But you know, since then, it's only gotten worse.
And you know, now you have a situation where a
flight attendant was slightly injured. I don't know if it

(02:34:43):
was by the gunfire or the evasive action. But you're
also thinking, okay, how many people are going to sue
Spirit Airlines because it's obvious that the State Department said
not a good idea to go there, you decided to
go there anyways, the you know, the the ad is
in early September from the US government said armed focal point.

(02:35:05):
You know, armed activity? Is that going to be something
you know people can sue over the day of the week.
So I suspect that this is going to be interesting
for Spirit, who's having a rough week anyways, because they're
about to file for bankruptcy and their stock has dropped
like sixty percent this week. Yeah, please don't buy it,
by the way, And it's going to be interesting to
see how things go. Now the FAA has stepped in

(02:35:27):
and said no US carriers flying two Haiti for the
next thirty days, as we kind of see if any
of this is going to calm down, and I suspect
it won't. And another good discussion on this front is
how many times have you and I talked about the
people that say they want a totally automated flight deck.
Tell me what that computer would do if it's getting

(02:35:47):
shot at. I don't know if that would be part
of the programmed response or not. And knowing a lot
of these men and women in the cockpit are former military,
some of which you have been shot at before. Yeah,
that's the experience I won on the flight deck. If
we encountered this kind of situation flying anywhere.

Speaker 1 (02:36:04):
In the world, well, I have to tell you, but
I mean the State Department did not outright ban They
just recommended that people not go to Haiti. So again
cave on Mt. You got on a plane to Haiti
when the State Department warned you ahead of time there
could be armed activity, it's your issue. As for Spirit,
they have no obligation to anticipate criminal activity. How in
the hell would they know that their plane's going to

(02:36:25):
get shot at.

Speaker 5 (02:36:28):
The US carrier.

Speaker 1 (02:36:29):
So yeah, I would say they're free liability for that.
So once the State Department banned you outright from flying,
if they fly down there, then liability might crop up
because they're, well, they're violating the rules in the FA
regulations at the outset. So yeah, I don't think. I
don't think they're going to have any issues with lawsuits,
or if they do, they will be promptly dismissed. That's
my legal judgment on that.

Speaker 4 (02:36:50):
I was.

Speaker 18 (02:36:51):
I always lean on you for that, and I look
forward to your interpretation of a lot of these things
because I'm curious, you know, exactly how exposed an airline
would be on this, and you know, we've got people
in other parts of the state that listen to us,
and some have reservations on Spirit Airlines moving forward, And
I mentioned that they're preparing to file for Chapter eleven bankruptcy.

Speaker 5 (02:37:11):
If you have reservations on Spirit. Don't worry.

Speaker 18 (02:37:15):
The airline under Chapter eleven is just going to go
through a process that many US carriers have gone through,
including United American and others. So from our side of
the counter, you won't notice much different. You will see
them change some of their routes, and they'll they'll do
some different things, but they're going to continue to operate
under the court approved and I guess supervised Chapter eleven process.

(02:37:37):
So don't let that prevent you from making future reservations
or being overly worried about upcoming reservations, because they will
continue businesses as normal as they can. What really sent
them off the edge this week, Brian, was they were
having problem raising money and they went back to Frontier
to see if maybe they could rekindle those merger talks.

(02:37:59):
Remember it was the two of them a couple of
years ago that we're going to get together. I really
liked Frontier Spirit merging, and Jet Blue kind of pushed
in as the new suitor offering more money, and Frontier
was kind of shoved to the side like a jilted lover,
so to speak.

Speaker 5 (02:38:14):
While Jet Blue.

Speaker 18 (02:38:15):
Isn't approved for the merger, and Spirit goes back to Frontier,
and Frontier says no, thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:38:21):
And that's one of the reasons.

Speaker 18 (02:38:22):
Spirit is seeing the issues that they've been having this
week announcing they're very close to filing for Chapter eleven.

Speaker 1 (02:38:28):
Well, and I see Southwest Airlines also having a problem.
They were addressing their overstaffing issues, which is I guess
is a sign of trouble.

Speaker 18 (02:38:39):
I guess they've never laid a single person off ever
in the history of that airline, and when we came
into the pandemics, that thought was, oh, that streak is over.
And back then they offered the opportunity for voluntary separations.
It was an early retirement package for some of their
senior employees, and Brian, they had nineteen percent of their workforce,
that is an unbelievable number, stepped forward and said, look,

(02:39:01):
we've had a great career here. I'm going to take
an early retirement so the people behind me can enjoy
what I had. So even through the pandemic, they had
never laid a single person off. Now they're a point
where the Boeing aircraft delays have really impacted them, and
they've seen the service at certain airports shrink just a bit.

(02:39:21):
I think Cleveland's being impacted by this as well, a
lot in Atlanta and a bunch of other airports. Nothing
at Cincinnati right now, and they're being forced to offer
these early retirement packages, the voluntary separations to people to
see if enough people will take advantage of it, ending
their work the end of next month, December thirty first,

(02:39:41):
so they won't have to lay anyone off. If they
don't get enough people stepping forward, well, then Southwest is
going to be forced to do what most other airlines
have and the first time in their history as far
as actually laying off some of their employees. And this
is just a sign of the Boeing situation. A plus,
Southwest has been slow to adapt as far as offering

(02:40:03):
the premium seats and now the assigned seats and the
idea of baby charging for check bags. They're going to
have to do all of these things moving forward. So
they're a little slow in responding, but at least they're
pointed in the right direction.

Speaker 1 (02:40:16):
Well, in the right direction. Is there the weekend? Better
than nothing? All right?

Speaker 5 (02:40:20):
Well?

Speaker 18 (02:40:21):
Slower, Look, if there's anybody that can pull this stuff off,
I'm convinced at Southwest.

Speaker 1 (02:40:26):
Yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 4 (02:40:27):
On that.

Speaker 5 (02:40:27):
I've proven it too many times before.

All right, as we always then hub delays. How's it
looking up there for air travel today?

Speaker 18 (02:40:36):
It's a lot of rain. I mean, obviously a lot
of rain. We've had issues in Atlanta, Charlotte's, Detroit. Those
is gonna be the three airports hammered the most. Some
of those delays already an hour. It's kind of moving
towards the northeast. Might give us some headaches there late
this evening, but right now, those are the airports that
are fighting delays. And you know, anything west of us
looks great. The problem is that weather that we have,

(02:40:59):
and it's moving towards the east and causing a lot
of travel disruptions.
