55KRC Tuesday Show - Peter Bronson, Brietbart, Daniel Davis

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Five o five. I think about j r C the
talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Vacation.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm the dude man you may be. I'm Brian Thomas Ster.
I think you have Caresey morning show and looking up,
I am happy as I can be to see Joe's
treker back from his vacation, said he had a nice
time sleeping in. Did you have a good time? He said,
I slept in. I know what that means. That means
you had a good time. There's no question about it
given the hours. Oh anyhow, I hope you are having

(00:54):
a reasonably wonderful morning so far, give it some time.
If not, you know, the rest of the day so
all in front of us, and you got a good
show to stick around for. And I hope you can
hang out here all morning. And I'd welcome phone calls.
You know, I love talking to folks. Maybe as a
particular topic on your mind, feel free to give me
a called five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two to three talk found five fifty

(01:15):
on AT and T phones. Of course, got another school
shooting for everyone to talk about, this time a girl,
a fifteen year old girl. There's hardly any details out
about it. They know it was a handgun as opposed to,
you know, an assault weapon. And of course I think
this is far more a reflection of the mental health

(01:36):
status of our children then you know, whether or not
we should be able to own firearms or not. But yes,
it invites another discussion along those lines, because Biden's already
calling for an assault weapons man, which of course would
have no impact on this background checks for a fifteen
year old, no impact on that fifteen year olds aren't
allowed to buy guns. Ah, I We'll go down the
whole litany of reasons why the laws that all the

(01:56):
left pushes quite often have no impact at all on
whether or not some disturbed child takes it in their
hands and believes it's a good idea to go around
and start killing people. It's just beyond my comprehension other
than a reflection of perhaps a broader problem mental health.
And I always want to go back to social media.

(02:17):
You know, it's easy to blame social media, but wow,
I don't recall this kind of thing happening very much
during the pre social media life that I enjoyed. Anyhow,
coming up though, we got a great hour seven o'clock hour.
I cannot wait. I think the world of Peter Bronson,
a wonderful author, of course, a storied history here in

(02:38):
the city of Cincinnati with his work with the inquirre
Et Center. Peter's going to be in studio for a
full hour, just talk about local politics and local issues,
and a great conversationalist is He's a fascinating and brilliant man.
So perhaps an hour to take on some of the
local challenges we face. Maybe we'll talk about roundabouts. Joe

(03:00):
Joe burn in an article about all these up to
twenty new roundabouts have been floated, as on the latest
street grid plan between downtown and Queen's Gate. Those things
are everywhere now everywhere anyhow, I doubt it, but that's
one of the things we may talk about. Theater. That's
seven o'clock, eight o'clock. We passed forward to the bright

(03:21):
Bart inside Scoop Today tech editor Colin Maydin AND's going
to address drones, among other things. I suppose it's a
wide open field of discussion when you're talking tech these days.
Tech Friday with Dave add Or a quick reminder every
Friday at six thirty appointment listening. So Colin Maydine from
bright bart On Drones. I see the FBIS issued a

(03:44):
warning to New Jersey residence against shooting at or pointing
lasers at identified drones. More on that, Daniel Davis Deep Dive.
I've been looking forward to this. That segment is because
of everything that's going on in the world. Of course,
Syria falling off part. There's this massive explosion. It looks
like the Israelis blew up yet more Syrian munitions and

(04:09):
hit a bunch of other targets. My son showed me
this disturbing video of the size of this one explosion,
and some immediately respeculating that maybe this was a small nuke,
and no, apparently it wasn't. But the situation obviously rather
grave in Syria, and everyone is tapping their toe and

(04:33):
wondering what the next administration, what it's going to look
like in Syria with the Fallaba Charlesade. Today Daniel Davis
Deep Dive, we're talking about Vladimir Putin quote the West
pushing us to our red lines. That amid reports this
morning that the Ukrainians killed the Russians one of the

(04:54):
Russian lead generals. Just happened within the last well twenty
four hours or maybe less. And finally US self defeating arrogance.
Daniel Davis having a go at US foreign policy. Military
policy anyway, always interesting with Daniels. So that's for that's
today thirty and then eight point fifty, Doctor Kevin Cronley

(05:14):
joins the program about colon cancer, which is a huge
problem and it's becoming more of a problem for young people.
I saw an article the other day that maybe seed
oils have something to do with this. I don't know.
I've mentioned before, and I'm happy, excuse me that we

(05:35):
will be having at least a broader conversation thanks to
RFGA Junior. Weirdo he is. I'm not going to tell
you I agree with any you know, a whole lot
of what RFGA Junior has to say. He said some
pretty damning things about Republicans. Generally he's a global warming nutcase,
but he does have a lot of he's outspoken in

(05:56):
the area of food and health, and I just to
have him there to advance the discussion, that's the point.
To have him have a healthy a conversation. Perhaps that
isn't married to the food industry. I don't know. We're
all jaded and cynical when it comes to our elected officials.
But this is an appointment. RFK Junior not an elected official.

(06:19):
He's just someone, you could say, sort of kind of
maybe from the outside, at least in so far as
the Trump administration is concerned. He is, but that he
might be a little more free or capable of saying
things and telling it like it is now. I personally
do not embrace his across the board anti vax position.

(06:40):
I know a lot of my listeners think vaccines of
the end all be all on. Some of my listeners
think that they're the evil, ultimate evil and responsible for
autism and every other thing that happens in our lives.
I'm somewhere in the middle. For example, I am really, really,
really happy that I never got polio. Thank God for
the polio vaccine. Have you ever seen pictures of the

(07:01):
iron lungs that they used to have to put people
in back when polio was running amok h yeah, thankfully No.
I never had to spend my life in an iron
lung because I never got polio, So I call that
a good vaccine. And I did get chicken pox and
measles and mumps as a child, so I believe I

(07:23):
have some measure of natural immunity in so far as
those go. But you know what, they didn't kill me
just saying, just say it. So let's see here, yo. Yeah,
the chief of Russia's nuclear defense forces is the one
that was killed by an explosive device, it says, in Moscow,

(07:46):
and maybe that will be going directly to the west,
pushing us to our red lines, launching our missiles further
and further into Russia. But Lieutenant General Igor Krilliov, they
had a Russi's Nuclear and Biological and Chemical Defense Forces
and his a system killed during an explosion in Moscow.

(08:07):
Happened today. Russian Investigative Committee said the explosive device was
placed in a scooter near a residential apartment block. Investigator,
forensic experts and operational services are working at the scene,
accord to the spokesperson there, the search activity is being
carried out to establish all the circumstances around this crime.

(08:30):
I'm willing to guess that this has nothing to do
with Ukraine or it involves some sort of domestic terror operation,
because Russia not exactly stable internally. You can say the
same thing about the United States. We got crazy people
running around some in schools, shooting people others, you know,
like Antifah and crazy elements and terrorist bombings and all that.

(08:53):
It happens literally everywhere in the four corners of the globe.
So I'm guessing probably more that, although it could be
someone who sympathizes with Ukraine. Maybe the guy, I don't know,
Maybe he was having an affair with somebody's wife and
they decided to offer him that way. You don't know.
M Anyway, in the remaining moment of time here, let's

(09:17):
see I mentioned the drones. FBI is warning New Jersey
residents again. Shooting the drones came up yesterday and thanks
to thanks to Jay Rattliff, he put up a Facebook
post the other day. It's a meme that's circulating around.
And my fellow ski shooters got shotgun shooters, trapshooters, maybe

(09:39):
just general shotgun hunting folks. Understand the difference between various
shotgun shells. It's the drone load. He got like double
lot buck. He got bird shot, which would be like
a number eight or number seven, maybe number six. He
got something for hitting geese at higher altitudes and ducks
at hire altitudes, maybe a four or three shot. I
don't know, but they make multiple different size shots that

(10:02):
fit in that little plastic cylinder that is the shot shell.
I don't know what size a shot it is for
a drone, but the box had a drone on it
labeled drone shot since about time they put this out.
So anyway, people are I assume we're going to take
this matters into their own hands until our government finally
tells us what these things are all about. Anyway, FBI Newark,

(10:25):
New Jersey State Police want to warn the public about
the increase in pilots of manned aircraft being hit in
the eyes with lasers. This is a problem that's ongoing.
Never shoot a laser up at an airline pilot or
an airplane. But since some of these flights are at night,
people can't tell the difference between a drone and a
regular airplane, and so apparently they're aiming their lasers at

(10:47):
the drones. Now, you ask yourself, what in the hell
kind of good would that do? What is the point
of that? It's not going to do anything. It won't
do anything to a drone and won't do anything to
a manned aircraft except maybe blind the pilot. Pointless gesture,
although the warning comes along with a warning to not
shoot at them either, which you know if it is

(11:08):
a drone. I kind of sympathize with the people that
want to shoot them down. Most notably, they're flying around
over your backyard. We're not quite at the point where
Amazon deliveries are flying over at your backyard and you
would be shooting down And it's not legal to shoot
these things down. And I'm not advocating for it. I'm
just saying I get it. But when you've got a

(11:29):
government that's not telling you exactly what's going on, and
everyone seems to assume that the government does know where
these drones are coming from. They're rather large, they're mysterious.
They're showing up in areas over maybe military bases, and
it was like, okay, if they belong to the military,
and that's why they're flying on a military basis, what
are the nice piece of information just passed along? Don't
sweat at public they're hours. I don't think we'll be

(11:52):
telling the Chinese Communist Party or the Russians, or any
of them our adversaries anything they don't already know, since
they party already hacked into all systems and stole all
the data related to the manufacturer, production, and operation of
the drones. But the American people might want to know
just so. They're not inclined to pull a shotgun out
using their drone load and shooting a drone down anyway,

(12:16):
So don't do it, says the FBI, and the Newark
authorities and the New Jersey authorities, And I'm sure every
authority here locally will tell you the same thing. But
we can all agree it's really tempting. Five seventeen fifty
five K Steve Talks Dation. Feel free to a call
I plenty to talk about this morning only eclectic stack
of stuff back after these brief words on New Year

(12:45):
doctor and nine first warning weather forecast got a sunny
day to day, calling it mild with a high on
fifty eighth ninety five show up eb between eighty ten pm.
Showers also return thirty six for the low Tomorrow, rainy
starts for the morning partly day, otherwise high fifty one
down to twenty nine overnight with clouds on a cloudy
day Thursday, high a forty at the forty one degrees

(13:11):
Right now for Cloudcase talk station at five k SEA
dot com and canalyst and live pull up the podcast,
get try Heart Media, stream the audio where we happen
to be on your smart device. Good for the show
and a very convenient little app. That thing I saw,
I think it was justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, was
complaining about us here in the United States, sort of

(13:35):
charting our own path and deciding we didn't want to
vote for Kamala Harris. And of course everyone's doing soul
searching on the left side of the ledger because they
still are standing in disbelief that they lost, and many
blaming misogyny or something because we didn't vote for Kamala
Harris in pretty substantial numbers voted for Trump. I think
it was Trudeau said the same thing, you know, failed

(13:57):
to elect again and their first female president, as if
the man woman component has anything to do with it.
And I really, in the heart of my heart, of
my heart of hearts, I'll vote for a woman all
day long, as long as she's not a blithering idiot
or insane. In terms of policies, no one seems to

(14:17):
be taking in consideration. The policies were the reason that
the Republicans offered a more sane path and that the
left went so far left they fell off the rails
and alienated even many among their own ranks. How many
times have you heard, you know that the the Democratic
Party left me. I didn't leave them. You got lots

(14:40):
of Democrats that are centrists saying, you know what, screw this,
I'm going out to the Republican Party. At least they
offer a you know, a spot from there for me there.
I'm not batcrap insane, and so I turned with that.
I turned a representative, Jasmine Crockett, Democrat out of Texas,
haaving it go at Hispanic voters. So this is my

(15:02):
distilled summary of what happened within the Latino community. I
have not run into that with the Asian community, have
not run out with the African community, have not run
into that with the Caribbean community. I've only run into
with Hispanics. When they think of illegals, they think of,
you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels
and that kind of like a criminal type book or whatever.
It's insane calling them voters having a slave mentality for

(15:29):
supporting Donald Trump quote. It almost reminds me of what
people would talk about when they would talk about the
kind of slave mentality they hate that some slaves would
have for themselves. It's almost like a slave mentality that
they have. It is wild to me when I hear
how anti immigrant they are as immigrants to many of them,

(15:50):
I'm talking about people that literally just got here and
can barely vote, that are having that kind of attitude. Now,
let us boil this down. Did Latino voters vote for
Donald Trump because of his border policies? Now? I know
there was a lot of surveys within the Latin American
community and other minority communities about how they felt about immigration.

(16:11):
But does this woman and somebody well, I really don't
believe she believes in what she's saying. But in their
struggle to figure out why and the how many people
voted for Donald Trump, did she ever step outside of
the immigration box and consider that maybe many people within
the Latino community are probably very traditional in their thinking,
very religious in their thinking. I know a sizable component

(16:34):
of them are Catholic, for example, and that many of
the left wing policies, most notably embracing the entire LGBTQ
plus agendas shoving it down children's thrones in public schools,
for example, might have been one of the more important
reasons for them to sort of put aside immigration how
they got here relative how somebody else got here and
said enough's enough. There's more than one thing in one reason.

(17:00):
And to vote for any given candidate, and to vote
for Kamala Harris is to vote for all of the
above and so far as that far left wing component
of the Democratic Party. So maybe, like the surveys revealed,
including the black community, because she even acknowledged that. I

(17:22):
will tell you that the black people historically have been
fiercely loyal, loyal to the Democrats. Yeah, I always ask
myself why, But fine, that's why you still see the
turnout numbers that you see coming out for black folks,
even though there was a bit of flaking, and that

(17:44):
bit of flaking came from black men, which I'm going
to chalk up to misogyny. Know how about perhaps they
have other reasons for voting for Donald Trump, and many
black men, I imagine, like the ones I see screaming
at the mayors of these various Democrat sanctuary cities, are upset.

(18:06):
Perhaps they pivot over and want to vote for a
president who's more tough on immigration. You see, there's different
reasons for different people to cast a vote that this
woman finds troubling or representative of a slave mentality. They
can't think out of the box. They are so blinded
by their own ideology that they're struggling to explain this.

(18:28):
It seems to me pretty damn easy. The left went
way too far left, and there's a lot of reasons
that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Black
men must compete for jobs with the newly arrived illegal
immigrant community in these densely populated black cities Democrat sanctuary cities.
Can't you imagine that they might want to vote for

(18:49):
a strong border president because it's impacting their career opportunities,
otherwise impacting negatively their neighborhood, the resources from government that
they might otherwise use to advance themselves or solve their problems. Right,
I want to slap these people metaphorically in the face.

(19:09):
But you know, I never get a chance to talk
with people like Jasmine Crockett. I suppose fine and vit
draw on the morning show. She wouldn't want to have
a conversation with me. Five one, three, seven, two three
talk local stories coming up. Hope you can stick around.

local news, breaking my heart. But beyond that, Quentin Bentley
from the enquire Report and the social media feud turned
deadly their social media again suburb of North Kentucky when

(20:22):
Amanda Turner brought her children there for a fight, including
her teenage son who happened to be carrying a gun.
We need an assault weapons banjob forty year old Turner
sentence in Kenton County Circuit Court yesterday. Have twelve and
a half years in prison for her role in the
August twenty twenty three fatal shooting of twenty three year

(20:43):
old Seth Burns. Judge Cathy Late handing down the sentence,
which match recommendation from prosecutors negotiated, is part of Turner's
plea agreement she pleted guilty in September the criminal facilitation
of murder, rioting unlawful transaction actually with a miner, and
illegally permitting a miner to possess a handgun. Less than

(21:05):
half the prison ternament posed on her younger song eighteen
year old Jackie Turner, who was sentenced to thirty years
in prison after compleading guilty to murder and admitting to
firing the round that killed Burns started after an online
dispute partly between the girlfriend of Turner's older son, Xavion Turner,
and a woman he'd previously been in a relationship with.

(21:26):
The family went to Archer Court in Independence on August
twenty fifth, twenty three for a planned fight. A planned fight,
prosecutor say a man to Turner. The mom was involved
in the text messages instigating the fight, and a doorbell

(21:46):
camera video showed her leading her children down the street
while screaming. Turner admitted in court that she drove her
younger sung too and from the fight. She also told
detectives she knew both of her son's routinely carried guns.
Feutetem from a social media post related to quote insults

(22:06):
about children and parenting skills or lack thereof. Close quote,
according to the kindy comwealth to Turney Rob Sanders, isn't
that an interesting topic for the social media post to
relate to? Given that this woman took her children known
to carry firearms to a planned fight. After a brief

(22:29):
exchange words before the fight could begin, the seventeen year
old Jackie Turner fired once into the air and then
once it Burns, hitting him in the torso, and then
the Turner family fled. Burns didn't even know the Turners,
but went to Archer Court home with a girlfriend who
was part of the feud. Burns mom Barbara in court quote,
I feel like you and your family acted with complete

(22:51):
disregard and malice for any human life close quote. Can't
disagree with that. Burns family said they don't believe Turner
should have shown remorse. Daniel Schubert a man who turned
His attorney said the opposite's true. She does wish it
didn't happen, for what it's worth, he said. Say Yon,
turning out twenty two, is also sentenced Monday to three

(23:13):
years in prison. During a four day trial November, prosecutors
painted her as a central figure known to everyone in
the dispute. Jerry ultimately owe him rather ultimately found him
guilty of tampering with evidence, but not guilty of murder,
unlawful transaction with a minor, and rioting. Prosecutor said Turner
to lie to police about taking his younger brother's gun
after the shooting, and told his sister to the lead
her text message history. Investigators later found the murder weapon

(23:36):
in Turner's possession. His attorney for his right decline comment
on the sentence. There's so much in there. I just
don't well, we'll just let it go. Five point thirty

(23:56):
five fifty five care seen. He talks stations, Stacker Stupid
coming up. Feel free to call though, rather talk to
you than do Stack and Stupid, but I will. There's

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Coming up on five forty fifty five KRCD talk station
five hundred seven fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty two
three talk Okay over to the stack is stupid, uh
for go to California for this one. California first responders
had to remove something interesting from a fitness center swimming pool.

(25:42):
It was an automobile. Firefighters in Redlands, California, pulled a
vehicle from an indoor swimming pool last Friday after a
driver crashed it through a wall and into the fitness center.
Social media posts from the California Highway Patrol said the
crash occurred after the driver lost and and drove into
a gym and then straight into the swimming pool, calling

(26:07):
it a shocking incident, reminding us how dangerous distractions can be,
and swimming video footage which they have when the incident
shows a black car resting in the middle of a
pool before being lifted out. Not immediately clear which fitness
center had happened at, they didn't say. The Rhythland Fire
Department didn't say thankfully no one was injured, but yes,

(26:30):
it could have been tragic, according to the fire department.
Pool unoccupied at the time of the incident. No injuries
to anyone in the fitness center either. The guess Joe,
they have a drive through now good to Kent, Washington,

(26:56):
where a mother there says The Washington in Washington State,
woke up from a coma, the coma that had been
caused by a stroke, and got some pretty bad news.
Christina Silvale lives in Wandering Creek Apartments in Kent, Washington.

(27:17):
Last April, she suffered a stroke left her in a
coma in a hospital for about a month when she
got awake. When she woke from the coma, she said
she received an eviction notice from her landlord.

Speaker 7 (27:27):
To what that happens.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
That's some compassion right there. She has a limited movement
in her body. Said she's now worried about how she's
going to be able to care for, care for and
house her two sons, who are twelve and seven years old.
Speaking of local news, I just want them to know
they're okay and that we don't have to live in
the street or shelter. Apparently goes to physical therapy a

(27:51):
couple times a week since the strokes, as her disability
has prevented her from finding work in to pay her rent.
Said the pain it hurts every day because my kids
can't do anything with me. When I came home after
the hospital, I felt useless. I couldn't do anything I
could before with the Before the kids like cook and clean.
Said she's always been a hard worker and doesn't like

(28:12):
staying at home post strokes, that she can't feel anything
on the right side of everybody, including her face, arm
and leg while works continuing to search for work. Her
mom and her and are trying to help her look
for resources within the community, but they say several programs
they've looked into have long waiting lists. Mm hmm. Well.

(28:33):
The local News reached out to Wandering Creek Apartments, owned
by essex Or Real Estate Investment Trust. A representative there
named Courtney said the company does not plan on providing
a statement that's shocking Shockingerio the biggest douche of the universe,

(28:54):
in all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
You reach the top the pinnacle of Douchetum.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Good going due, your dreams have come true. And off
we go to Huntington, New York, where a Long Island
woman who does not drive and has not been driving yet,
has been receiving thousands of dollars in tickets, they say,
from all over the country because of her license plate

(29:28):
number described as star Trek. Theend, this took me back.
You got to go back to the original Star Trek
Star Trek William Shatner beat a Cory of Huntington, New York,
talking to CBS News New York, said that when she
started to lose her eyesight in twenty twenty, she gave
up driving, sold her car, and surrender her license plates.

(29:52):
Her license plates shared the same number as the Starship
Enterprise in the original Star Trek television program ends seventeen
oh one, and apparently, according to the reporting, Star Trek
fans from all over the planet have been buying matching
novelty plates and putting them on their vehicles, leading to

(30:13):
hundreds of tickets being delivered to her mailbox. Said, I
want to cry because it's a simple matter they could
have fixed. Yes, ma'am. It is in this modern world
with technology that we live in, I cannot imagine this
actually happens what apparently it does all the time. Apparently
even received threats from Ohio and Canada, places where people

(30:36):
with those fake blakes committed crimes. There is one attorney,
Kenneth Mollis, who is volunteered to help her with the issue. Said,
this is a lady who was beaten up by a
big bad corporation for years. He said New York Department
of Motor Vehicles talking with local news there that Corey
was no longer attached to the Star Trek plates, confirming

(30:58):
that fact. However, Tony Mullen's research determined her name and
address were never removed, so he went to the top
of the DMV hierarchy able to get the matter resolve,
meaning she will no longer get those tickets. Corey and
her part said thank you so much. Yay, finally after
four years who to thunk by forty five? If you

(31:27):
have krec talks in Stasian, Fast and Pro Roofing is
the roofing company you definitely want to rely on and
call because I know they will be honest and they
are trustworthy and they will never lie to you. They'll
never try to say something you don't need. They will
do a free roof inspection thorough it will be and
if there's any work that needs to be done, they'll
identify for you and give you a free quote. All

(31:48):
of it honest. And there's so many ripoff artists in
the roofing industry. It's why I'm just telling you rely
on Fast and Pro and you never have to worry
about well that kind of Shenanigan happening to you. A
plus the Better Business Bureau. It's not just roofs, although
they do both commercial and residential and any kind of
roof you want. You got a metal roof, you want
to replace that, get him out of the metal roof.

Should be great conversation in the seven o'clock hour. Back Oh,
in my last week this week for the rest of
the year, I am taking Christmas vacation. Actually it's Christmas
plus vacation, so I'll be off. Friday is our Christmas
special with Rob Ryder. Can't wait for Robbie back in

(34:35):
the studio. Love that guy. He's retired now too, which
kind of breaks my heart. Mister Air Show himself. He
does podcasts, and so does Joe Strecker. If you ever
want to do a podcast, get in touch with Joe Strecker.
He produces them. That's his sort of side gig. He
does a great job at it too, So in case
you were interested in sort of jumping into that realm,
Joe's a man to call anyway. Go back to the

(34:57):
stack of stupid we have in a person who was
incensed that relative relatives, mind you, were praying to Jesus
in her home. A Florida woman who came from Tehran,
Iran told police that she quote prays using the Kuran
and does not believe in Jesus close quote. But she

(35:20):
also allegedly battered one of those visitors, attack that landed
her in jail. Thank you, just drecker. According to the
arrest Affidavid, the praying dispute between ry Sherry Changhini, who's
fifty eight, and her brother, Peter Canghini, described as a
sixty three year old contractor turned violent. Peter told investigators

(35:41):
that he was praying with his wife Naid using their
cross when Changhini got mad at him and told him
to leave. Copsleveschanghini first quote picked up Peter's phone and
threw it on the ground, destroying it. Why are you
doing that, I believe because praying to Jesus. When she

(36:02):
then went to attack Peter, he put his arms up
to defend himself, a Sherry bit his right forearm as
this tradition. Changhini then threw Peter's stuff out of the
residence and broke his cross. At one point, Peter told
police Canghini scratched her own neck and told him, you're
going to jail now, a decision for the police. When

(36:24):
cops got there Vero Beach specifically, they said Peter had
a bite mark on his right arm, which had visible
bruising and was bleeding. Police said that his phone was
shattered and inoperable. Peter told deputies that he and his
wife were at the home to visit his mother, who
was there on hospice care. During the questioning, Cchanghini claimed

(36:47):
that she bit Peter in self defense after he scratched
her neck, but a deputy reported it examining Canghini's fingernails
and found just what they described as traces of skin
under her nails, consistent with her scratching her own neck.
Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Thank you. Joe.

which makes sense anyway. Five one, three, seven, four, nine

Speaker 1 (38:56):
He is a very intelligent and uh, really friendly guy
and great conversational so we should build to lighten things
up a little bit. Although I'm moving over to this
Ohio lawmaker. No property tax bill coming your way is
problematic to me. Maybe we can talk about that a
little bit. Anyway. Eight oh five it is Tuesday. We
get the inside Scoop with bright Bart News every Tuesday

(39:17):
at eight o five. Today Colin made On the Tech
editor returns to talk drones and the FBI, warning you
do not shoot them down and don't aim laser pointers

Putin saying the West is pushing us to our red lines,
also us self defeating arrogance. Hmm. Sounds me like Daniel

(39:41):
Davis has a little worked up this morning with eight
thirty for that. And then we'll hear from Gastro Health's
doctor Kevin Cronley about colon cancer. So there you have it.
That's the lineup for this morning. And moving over to
my discuss with Ohio. And I regularly express discuss with
Columbus merely because you'd think, since they do have a
lockstep majority of the Republican Party, that you would be

(40:02):
a well oiled machine to get good legislation passed, and
most notably something along the lines of property tax release
since people are still reeling from the post COVID reassessments. Is,
after all, our property values went up and then we
got these massive increase in property tax bills and now
everyone's feeling the pain. And that was actually mentioned and

(40:24):
I got to give props to the East Callahan and
for reporting on this, Denise Callahan WCPO. So the Ohio
legislator had lofty goals for giving us relief from these
insane property tax bills, but most efforts over the past
two years have died.

Speaker 8 (40:46):
Notice.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I emphasized the past two years, because it's not like
they haven't even been looking at this. They have been
looking at it and talking about it and literally doing
nothing apparently for a couple of years. How long does
it take to pass some form of tax relief? State
Senator Bill Blessing, chair of the powerful Senator Ways Means

(41:07):
Committee and co chair of the special committee created to
address property tax relief. We'll get to that special committee
here in a moment, told CPO that property tax relief
is out of reach this year. Quote I feel comfortable
saying no property tax relief will pass this General Assembly.
Close quote. Now, apparently there was a with our describing

(41:27):
as a last ditch effort in the House last Tuesday
with House Bill two seventy four. Now, it wasn't a panacea,
it wasn't the end all be all of tax relief,
but it would have provided some some some measure of
tax relief. What it would have done was double the
homestead exemption for qualified taxpayers to fifty thousand dollars for

(41:51):
people who've lived in their homes for twenty years or more.
It passed overwhelmingly seventy eight to eleven. Representative Adam Matthews
at eleven and urging its passage prior to the vote said,
no Ohioan who has lived their entire life in their
home should be at risk of losing it to taxation.
Thank you, they say. Each of our offices has undoubtedly

(42:17):
received dozens, hundreds, thousands of calls from constituents rightfully concerned
about getting taxed out of their homes. The House has
sought to take meaningful steps over this General Assembly to
address the rising costs by passing HB two seventy four. Again,
the vote was seventy eight to eleven. We take a
step forward to provide continued relief to homeowners needing it

(42:37):
most right now. It would have cost the state a
measly one hundred and ninety million dollars annually, which suggests
me not quite enough. But look, you know you think
the Ohio budget can manage dealing without one hundred ninety
million dollars. Prior to passage in the full House seventy

(42:58):
eight to eleven, this particular provisioner bill rather languished on
a shelf since its last hearing, which was its third
on December twelfth of last year. Nothing done since December

(43:20):
twelfth of twenty twenty three. But now as we approach
the legislature scheduling to recess for the year this week,
of course it's got to move through the Senate for concurrence,
but apparently there's no time for it to go through
the normal hearing process prior to the end of the
thirty fifth General Assembly. It's got to be afer to

(43:44):
the Senate ways and means A Blessing. State Senator Blessing
told the media outlet he isn't planning on any more
meetings unless the Senate President request one, and I'm laying
odds that the Senate President is not going to request
one ergo because the Legislature has scheduled recess for the
year this week. At the end of the year the

(44:07):
General Assembly, the clock on legislation resets and all pending
bills die, meaning that House vote of seventy eight to
eleven means nothing after the end of the year because
they're not going to reconvene, the Senate's not going to
vote on it, and it's dead. So even as modest
as the relief was, and I must point out Blessing,

(44:28):
according to the reporting here from WCB, at least has
passed along Blessing says, well, I don't like the bill anyway. Quote.
They're doing this to make it sound big when it's
really not. It's not really providing all that much relief.
I don't think we passed that, meaning the Senate. Well,

(44:48):
folks out there in the listening audience, would you take
some relief over no relief? Could the Senate not reconvene,
go ahead and pass the along overwhelming lines like the House,
give us some relief and then work on more relief later.
Just because this particular tax relief bill passes, it doesn't

(45:10):
mean you can't work on something that's better. And there
are other ones being tossed around by way of ideas,
and they cost the state a lot more. But how
about a little love, how about a little scene? Know it?
Show you for the ether, and don't tell me on
my death bet, I'm going to receive total consciousness. Stay.
President Matt Huffman could not be reached for common on

(45:33):
whether he wants HB two seventy four vettter or not.
Representative Dan Troy, a Democrat out of Willowick's, speaking to
the WCBO, I guess I understand that the Senate president
said he'd rather deal with this stuff next year, so
we're kicking the can down the road. For his part,

(45:56):
Representative Thomas Hall Adam Addison Township. He says he believes
no meaningful reform has come to fruition because when the
two year budget for the General Assembly was being negotiated,
only thirteen of eighty eight counties had been hit with
these massive pandemic induced property hikes, and you're probably in
one of them. Butler, Green, Montgomery Counties among the first few.

(46:18):
Warren County has since undergone its reappraisal increases across the
board thirty seven percent for Butler, thirty for Green, thirty
four from Montgomery Warren County. This guy hit with a
twenty seven percent increase. Representative Hall said, when we were
trying to tackle the property tax issue in April and
May of last year, we were in budget negotiations at

(46:42):
that time, and during those negotiations, property tax wasn't a
huge priority to anybody because we were one of the
first counties to get hit with this. Now, I think
it's a whole different landscape because we've been through an
election cycle, and make no mistake about it, we were
the only ones in the beginning it. Now every corner
of the state has heard from their constituents on property

(47:04):
tax Pause for a moment, since it happened to Butler, Green,
Montgomery and Warren during the pendency of your budget negotiations,
couldn't you like say, hey, hey, hey, hey, the rest
of you folks on the other balance of the eighty
eight counties, you better look out. This is gonna hit
you like a ton of bricks. These property tax increases
are insane, and your people are gonna be blowing the

(47:26):
phones up once they get their reassessment. Why don't we
address it now, get ahead of it, and make us
all look like superheroes. Now they didn't do that? Why
bother just Strucker stated the obvious. I wish we had

(47:48):
known this before the election. It goes on, there's more
to this. But as I read that again, remember this
is all the nothing's gonna happen because they're going on
vacation and the end of the season, the end of
the Legislative Assembly happens at the end of the county year.

(48:09):
I guess timing is everything. They're going home. This dies, right.
Could they pass it? Yes they could, but they're not.
And then I flip over to the federal government. How
many times we've been dealing with continuing resolutions, which is
also kicking the can down the street. You're supposed to
do twelve separate funding bills, twelve count them, twelve annual appropriations,

(48:31):
and every administration keeps coming along, and Speaker Johnson is
pledging to process all twelve annual appropriation bills next year.
Just wait for it. After the stop gap expires in March.
They're working on the continuing resolution for this stopgap measure,
which just kicks the can of budgeting down the road.
You wait to hear what's holding it up. And they're

(48:52):
getting ready to go on Christmas recess as well. They've
had all year long, and they knew twenty years ago
that by the end of the year in twenty twenty four,
they would have had done twelve appropriations bills. But no,
here we are still dealing with a continuing resolution. When
is Doc Dear Congressman Thomas Massey, when is the last
time our Congress has actually dealt with and passed twelve

(49:13):
separate appropriations bills, which is required, it's part of their
job description. I don't remember the last time that's happened.
He's always on the bandwagon about that. Five point three
seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty
to two three talk CONFI fifty on AT and T phones,

(49:34):
and nothing ever gets done to solve the spending problem.

So there you go. Anyway over to the federal government,
and they're futzing around in advance of these Christmas holiday
kicking the can down the road bipartisan framework to put
off the government shut down which is looming, renting problems

(52:13):
over the weekend. They are still bickering, at least as
of yesterday, over the funding bill that will lay the
groundwork for the early days of the Trump administration. All right,
so without it, government agencies are going to shut down
midnight Saturday. There won't be any will there be any

(52:39):
political ramifications for it. Since they got this thing kicked
past the election, it's all solidified, so we're not running
up to an election with a looming government shutdown. The
election's over with Trump's president. House now run by Republicans.
Senate Republicans. Case you didn't get the memo, go back

(53:00):
over that, and then maybe the government will shut down,
providing I don't will political fodder for anybody. I'd rather
get my popcorn out, watch the government shut down, and
just let it go see what happens. I know that's
a bit of an overstatement, but still I'm so thoroughly

(53:22):
disgusted with lawmakers coming on the heels of this nonsense
going on in Columbus and here we have it basically
continuing and then like year after year after year in Washington, DC.
So anyway, shut down midnight Saturday, lawmakers apparently getting ready
to prove another stop gap bill to extend federal funds

(53:42):
into mid March. But there's some disputes, and they're having
some disputes over farm maide as well as RFK Stadium,
which is what drew my attention to the article, and
I almost made my blood boil. House Speaker Mike Johnson
widely expected to pull out to buy a bartisan bill soon.
Tee up and vote. They're eager to bolt from Washington

(54:03):
to get home from the holidays. Thank you for that acknowledgment.
Jacob Boggage over at the Washington Post. Legislation would push
out the government shut down deadline by three months again
going to March, and include up to one hundred billion
dollars of assistance for natural disaster survivors because, of course,
all the FEMA money had been used for illegal immigrants.

(54:24):
Go ahead, look it up. During the last minute negotiations,
the Speaker attempted to attack on more financial assistance for
farmers more in addition to the massive amount of financial
assistance the farmers get already. Democrats responded by seeking federal

(54:44):
funds to reconstruct Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. It's tit
for tat all, Republicans. You want more farm made, well,
then we need something for the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
But wait for it. Quote from the Washington Post. Maryland
Congressional delegation, which holds outsized sway on the appropriations process,

(55:07):
issued additional demands relating to negotiations over the future home
of the Washington Commanders, which apparently is playing its home
games at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. And it got
a quote a venue widely regarded as one of the

(55:29):
worst in the league. Boob blank word who someone wrote
right there, Hey, Joe, you know it says they're actually
playing their home games. They're actually getting the games played,
They're accomplishing the task of playing a football game at
the Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. Wow. And no one's dying.

(55:56):
There haven't been any natural disasters. I haven't read about
anything like that. So I guess you can play football
even though by some subjective measure, your stadium is the
worst one in the league. How about that? And see

(56:17):
it's subjective. Just said that's debatable. Ah, But you see
there's a component of this. It's a little more complicated
because the funding bill apparently there's a provision in there
about this stadium which transfers control of the land around
RFK Stadium from the federal government to the city of Washington, DC,
which therefore allows the Commanders and the city to then

(56:39):
negotiate for a potential new stadium. All of which urged
me because look, we're facing the government shut down. You know,
everybody pulls their house at Wales and nashes their teeth.
Oh my god, government shutting. One of the components of
shutting down the entire federal government is the future home
of the Washington Commanders, even though they're still capable of
playing football at Northwest Stadium in Landover Mare, Maryland, Ah.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
I know, well, you know and that's the thing, that's
why this this rubs me the wrong way. It would
rub me the wrong way even if we didn't have
our own problems historically with the whole con up the
former Lea. Paul Brown Stadium, the negotiations for that, the
terrible deal that the Hamilton County taxpayers got, the ripoff
that we got because they wouldn't give us the relief
that we were promised when we voted for the damn thing.

(01:00:12):
And now the demands for hundreds of millions of dollars
in stadium upgrades. Okay, that's what we're living right now.
But to find out the entire federal government may shut
down in part because apparently the commanders are incapable of
playing at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Mayor and at least comfortably.
You know what I got. I got two words for

happy birthday, breads and circuses. I mean, then we don't
realize how the Roman Empire fell. I mean their finite
number of swoll again stadium the obviously this is a
finite number of taxpayer dollars, and apparently it ain't enough.
It hasn't been enough for it since I've been alive.

(01:00:55):
I remember Ronald Reagan complaining about the impending one trillion
dollar fel deficit when it was in the nine hundred billions.
You know, fast forward and now we're looking at what
I mean, they say, within what a couple of years,
it's going to be forty trillion dollars spent beyond what
they took in tax wise. And yes, stadiums are a

(01:01:17):
component of it. That's why I'm so excited about Elon
muskom b b Grammas. My boy, that in the low
hanging fruit is insulting to you who worked and paid
into the federal tax revenue. It's insulting the waste. They

(01:01:42):
don't care. They don't give a te spoon of excrement
about you. They're not tasked with being efficient. If you're
in a private business, I guarantee you you've got multiple
layers of efficiency. At least the most successful businesses do.
Oh look, you let Elon Musk vive grammars from me

(01:02:03):

want to go out and buy something, you're probably gonna
have to do maybe look for value. You buy it

a stock, but I went a little larger than that.
You're just a scoch. See when you have friends with
firearms and they let you borrow them quite often, that
puts a b ugg in your ear, like, Okay, I'm
gonna have to get myself one of these. Well that's
my Christmas present. I of course called Wendy up, told
her what I was looking for, and a day and

(01:03:07):
a half two days later, I had exactly what I
wanted in the store, went up there and got my
son and I went up there and a nice conversation
with Wendy. Walked in the door. Jeff, the co owner
of the store, standing right there when I walked in.
You're looking for Wendy, aren't you. Yes, great store. You
can get gift certificates, membership options. They have heaploads of AMMO,

(01:03:27):
they have a huge selection of firearms, and you know,
it's such a friendly, knowledgeable environment. The employees there are
all just superior folks. They got a gunsmith there you
can if you have any smith work that needs to
be done, you can count on twenty two three for that,
and a huge line of literally everything. And really, let
me emphasize this competitive pricing. You don't have to go

(01:03:50):
looking all over the place to find great pricing. It's
right there at twenty two to three indoor range without
peer clean, absolutely safe with range. Safety officers are very
good about making you feel comfortable when you're shooting at
twenty two three. And then also classes. I imagine you
can get classes for someone as a gift, so for
all your firearms needs, from the most experienced to the

(01:04:11):
least experience. Twenty two three Route forty two between Mason
and London. Please tell the crew there, Brian said, Hi.

Always good to hear from you.

Speaker 8 (01:06:03):
That's a going Brian today.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
I just want to bring in the little fiasco that
a lot of people forgot after we got the monstrosity
of the Paul Brown Stadium tax deal that nobody registered
for Oops forgot to bring that one up, and then
they didn't get the tax credit. Everybody went to the
first football game and they discovered that I think it

(01:06:27):
was they had just put gravel lots in and rather
than building a parking garage, and they wanted to and
they did pass another one hundred and fifty million dollars
to build the parking garage because everybody had to be
either busted in from the parking lots that were gravel
all around the Cincinnati area, or they had a very

(01:06:51):
long walk.

Speaker 8 (01:06:52):
I don't know if do you remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
I don't, But you know, I'm the first person to
admit sometimes my recollection is short in I can't stay
up on literally every fun fact going on in the world.
But not shocking to me, You am sure, Gary, I
suppose I should.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
It's like, you know, you guys are being taken from
the word go on this and some people are just
they're not smart enough to see it. All this money
could have gone to other things such as schools, roads
or repairing of bridges, you know, other than it would
make Cincinnati a much nicer place to live, rather than

(01:07:33):
giving all your money to the Paul Brown.

Speaker 8 (01:07:37):
Family. You know, it just it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
It is people refuse to step back and deal with
the potential reality that maybe the Bengals wouldn't be here someday,
and that threat, that looming threat of yeah, well, if
you don't give me what I want, I'm gonna take
my team go elsewhere. Well, you know, it's a little
more complicated than that. I don't know if there's somebody
out there in the world that really wants to buy
the Bengals or build a new two trillion dollars state

(01:08:02):
and to satisfy their wants and needs. But you know,
in the final analysis, what is the most important thing?
Is it really sports? I had a conversation at a
Christmas party about this over the weekend. Someone was incensed
and mad that we're allowing college football players to actually
make money because they make money for the colleges. They
make literally millions and millions and millions of dollars of

(01:08:23):
revenue for the colleges. They get jack squad other than
education if they choose to pursue it. And I have
no problem with the college football players taking a slice
of that action. They're the ones that are generating to
damn revenue. So and then that and that pivoted over
to a conversation about what's the point of college. I
know we've got revenus High State University fans. I'm best

(01:08:44):
friends with one loves up the street from me, and
I get so sick of hearing about Ohio State. I
want to vomit. My daughter got two degrees from High
and State. I'm very happy for the degrees. Are why
I'm happy. I don't want to write a check to
Ohio State. I wrote checks to pay for her education.
Same thing Universe Cincinnati. I got two degrees. Love my environment.
I love my school primarily because I enjoyed my social

(01:09:05):
life there. But they did educate me, and I was
successful and capable of, you know, helping to you know,
hol's cloth, feed shelter a family and raise a family,
and found a wife in law school there. So I
got nothing but with thanks and praise the University of Cincinnati. No,
I'm not writing him a check and I don't. And

(01:09:26):
we had such a crappy football team and crappy basketball
team back when I was there. I never got really
engaged in the sporting environment. I was there for school.
It's school, learning, education, getting a degree, preparing for your future.
That's what college is supposed to be about. City of Cincinnati,
what is the city supposed to be about? Taking care
of the dam roads, prograding environment that is welcoming, a

(01:09:48):
low taxation, low crime environment that is welcoming to people. Hey,
we're one of the few cities in the entire United
States that has a professional football team, and bully for us.
How do all those other cities live through and survived
quite often more successfully than the City of Cincinnati when
they don't have a football team. Hmmm, let's ponder that
one for a while. Where are our damn priorities? And

(01:10:11):
this is not to say that I don't enjoy watching
a football game. I'm entertained by it. But you know what,
my priorities are a little bit different. They've served me
well over the years. Six. I'm sorry, man, I just
just this, this really, really really has gotten under my skin,

(01:10:32):
and it really set me off this morning to know
that our federal government might get shut down in part
and maybe small part. Over the commanders by side, Jim

and west side Jim too. Let's start with the order
which to ever see which means west side hang on, Jim,
Thank you for holding and welcome to the program.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
Yeah, good morning, Brian. Hey, I listened to you on
the iHeartRadio and every every commercial break has a Northern
Kentucky Health Department come get your COVID shot commercial, And
I was wondering how much of my tax dollars are
going to this. So I looked it up and it's
only thirty eight percent is paid for by Kentucky residents.

(01:14:00):
Thirty is paid for by the federal government. So there's
your answer. That's why I'm I'm so inundated with these
get your COVID shot every commercial break.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Yeah, And honestly, since I'm here, I don't know what's
playing over the streaming component. They're different advertising online than
they do on the program. And you you know, everybody
draws their own conclusion on getting a COVID shot or not.
And I know they're all about spending all that COVID
money before it goes away, So there's part of it.

(01:14:31):
Was it improperly spent? Yes, I will agree with you
all day long. Do I recommend you get a COVID vaccine?
I see that your decision on your own. I have
natural immunity because I had COVID, So yeah, add that
to the list. You know that it ultimately supports my employer.

(01:14:52):
I suppose I suppose that in yours to my benefit
to some degree, although I don't get a slice of
any of that action. As I've always pointed out, Ryan
Thomas me personally, am not endorsing a product, a good
or service, then you can't attribute it to me, even
though it might run during my morning show. And to
all those folks who'd run spots during my morning show,

(01:15:12):
thank you very much for choosing the fifty five KC
Morning Show. I think I'd like to think you're getting
a good return on investment since apparently, according to the ratings,
we do pretty good job here in the Greater Cincinnati area,
and the streaming numbers are pretty dang good, you know,
when you do comparison to other stations and other shows.
So I'm proud of what I've been able to accomplish here,

(01:15:34):
But again, never attribute something to me unless my voice
is associated with it, whether it's coming out of my
mouth by way of commentary like right now, or it's
because I'm doing a commercial for one of my very
trusted sponsors, somebody else is doing it. That's you draw
your own conclusions on whether you want to pursue that
particular good or service. I'll let them prove it themselves. Westside, Jim,

(01:15:59):
always a player. You're hearing from you, my brother, how
are you?

Speaker 10 (01:16:02):
Good morning, Brian, and thank god you're on buddy, I
don't do syndications, so I'm al. I'm glad that you're
on cycle listening to local.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 10 (01:16:12):
I've got to start going out today to start driving
around in circles so I can get ready for all
these roundabouts on the west side of Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
I saw that for twenty of them.

Speaker 10 (01:16:23):
Oh, for God's sakes, you know, I don't know if
anybody he drives around and gets it stuck in one
of these things. And I go to Newport once in
a while, and that's the thing over there. I'm surprised
there's not more accidents that nobody knows what the heck
they're doing when they're driving one of these damn things.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Well, you know what, I will concede that point only initially,
and once you've navigated one at least once or twice
and you figure out how it works. I don't know.
I think probably they're a good idea overall. They do
keep the traffic flowing, at least in my personal experience,
to keep the traffic flowing. And I don't know, but

(01:16:59):
they come into great expense. And this is where we
go back to dollars and cents. If you're weighing your option.
Then there's a finite number of dollars in a pile
of money. Do you go round about? Or do you
put the money elsewhere? Are you going to get a
good return on investment for the roundabout? You know that
kind of thing. And I suppose somewhere along the line
we pay for studies to figure that one out.

Speaker 10 (01:17:19):
I just keep thinking of European vacation where he kept
driving around the circles because nobody knew how to get
out of the things.

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
That's because, yeah, that proves my point. He was an
American who's never ever been on a roundabout before. Everybody
else there knows how to work them and navigate them.
Chevy Chase gets behind the wheel and he gets stuck
because he doesn't know how they work.

Speaker 8 (01:17:42):
Exactly.

Speaker 10 (01:17:43):
Did you happen to see our video from the Typical Westsiders?

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
Not yet. It's marked out in my short list of
things to do. But you know, if I'm not on
the air, I'm usually not on Facebook.

Speaker 10 (01:17:54):
It's about fifty four seconds long and we've had over
twenty five hundred views already.

Speaker 8 (01:17:58):
People were to sty and laugh and over this thing.
But if you don't mind this for a second.

Speaker 10 (01:18:02):
We've got our Christmas party tonight for the Cincinnati West
Republican Club, and the reason I'm bringing that up is
that everybody's invited to this, of course, and there's no speakers,
but we're gonna have anything that's donated with an unwrapped
toy or hopefully people open their wallets. Everything goes to
the Help Squad. So the group we usually donate, we

(01:18:27):
don't donate. We always have door prices, which we do tonight,
but I'm holding the whole event or the help Squad tonight.
I know it's getting close to Christmas, but they can
use everything they can get, so I hope everybody comes in.

Speaker 8 (01:18:41):
People that haven't come.

Speaker 10 (01:18:42):
It's a fun time, and just bring either, like I said,
an unwrapped toy for a child, or open up the
wallets and let's see some twenties and fifties coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, pryceal chili, right.

Speaker 10 (01:18:54):
Yes, sir, six to eight price sal chili and it's
run pretty cool. So get yourself some you know, Coney's
or Three Ways or whatever, and then listen. Listen to
me talk a little bit. If I my voice will
hold up, and we'll go from there. But yeah, check
that video out, Brian. I think you'll get a chuckle
out of the four of us. Oh, I know, I
will Christmas carousel or what you call it, cancel rollers

(01:19:20):
instead of the Christmas case. It hits a riot, so
you'll get a.

Speaker 8 (01:19:24):
Kick out of it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
That's awesome. Okay. So the typical West Siders is what
you're looking for on Facebook, right or just just generally okay.
And then tonight at Price sal Chili six to eight,
bring an unopened gift for charity or money. In both
cases it's going to go to the Help Squad, which
is a fantastic organization. One hundred percent of your money

(01:19:48):
will make it to some person in need. And they
really are great at helping out folks over on the
West side of town that are on life's margins, getting
them over the hurdles that life throws them. And what
an important thing to think about this time year. I
hope you have a great event. I West Chide, Jim,
and thanks for calling and let my listeners know all
about it. Gotta run. Oh, look in studio, he's staring

(01:20:08):
at you at the face, Peter Bronson, Love you, Peter.
We're gonna be talking for a full hour about politics
and whatever else crosses our mind. It should be fun.
Stick around me right back on New Year and a
new president. The countdown.

Speaker 11 (01:20:22):
I'm super excited with.

does such a phenomenal job telling a story and it's all,
I mean real. The most recent one promised Land, How
the West was Won? You had the Man who Saved

(01:21:31):
Cincinnati just prior to that, and that was a They're
all great Reads Forbidden Fruits since Cities Underworld. The Supper
Club Inferno maybe my favorite. I hate to say and
prioritize that, but I know about the Beverly Hills Supper
Club and I remember it when it burned down and
the mob connection with that, which Peter does a wonderful
job incorporating the reality of that into that book. Not

(01:21:52):
in our town. Everybody remembers Larry Flint and Hustler, The
Queen City Versus The King of Smut another great read.
So that goes on and on and on. So Chili
Dog Press for any one of these wonderful, very affordable
Christmas gifts for your uh, your literature loving friend. Peter Bronson,
Welcome back to the Morning show, my dear friends. Always

Speaker 12 (01:22:12):
And thank you for that kind introduction about my books.
I really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
Well, hey, listen, if it wasn't true, I wouldn't have
set it all right, kind of let it go. Thank
My wife got a an acknowledgment. She had it's some
wonderful bake goods and someone had said, you know, that
was you know, really unusual or something like that, and
I go, didn't they say it was really good at
any point in that message, and she's like, no, I said, well,
I guess that just wasn't their cup of teas. But anyhow, Yeah,

(01:22:38):
it's it's like my friends when, because we're all, shall
we say, we give each other a hard time those busters,
the better the friend is, the harder time you give them.
And I always joke around. I said, hey, listen, if
I'm not giving you a hard time, that's when you
know I'm mad at you. So yeah, if I didn't
understand the books, you know that that would be a
that will not be a good sign. So Chili Dog

(01:23:00):
Press for those Peter, how you been you'll prepare for
that very good.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:23:04):
I've been real busy but doing a lot of book
signings and a lot of fun. In fact, I have
one coming up on Saturday at the Barnes and Noble
at Beaver Creek, Good Saturday at two pm, especially for
people living up around the Northern Cincinnati Greater Cincinnati area
and also from Dayton. There's a lot about Dayton in
that book, including the story of one of the most

(01:23:26):
colorful characters in Ohio history, Clement Villandingham.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Clement Villandingham, Yes, clemtt so you're talking about the Promised
Land or Promise Land, right, yes, my latest book. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:23:36):
So he was a congressman from Dayton, and he was
also probably the most notorious copperhead Southern sympathizer in the country,
and he gave so much heartburn to Abe Lincoln that
Lincoln ordered uh and General Ambrose Burnside to march up
from Cincinnati and kick down his door at midnight and

(01:23:57):
haul him into the street in his pajamas and throwing
in a military prison.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
Wow, kind of like they treated Donald Trump pulling the
documents out of the house exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:24:05):
It was no habeas corpus nothing, and he was thrown
in a military prison and left there to rot for months.
Finally Lincoln said, Okay, I guess this is getting a
little embarrassing, So if he wants to be part of
the South, let's send him to the South. And they
shipped him down under a flag of truce and turned
him over to the Confederates.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
Oh that's a riot, isn't that crazy? Well, it's like
returning an illegal immigrant to their home country. We have
a lot of parallels here, Yeah, we do, don't we
That's amazing. And wait, there's more so.

Speaker 12 (01:24:36):
Then the Landingham goes to Montreal where he runs for
governor of Ohio in absentia, and there was a panic
in the state of Ohio because the rumor circulated that
he was going to import tens of thousands of voters
from Tennessee and Kentucky to win the election.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Well, he back. It was a lot easier to cheat. Yes,
so we had election fraud.

Speaker 12 (01:25:00):
We had a conspiracy anti government insurrection going on, and
he did not win. But he did come back eventually
and practice law in Lebanon after the war. Always forgiven.
He's practicing law. He's representing a guy who was killed
in a barroom brawl, and as part of his defense,

(01:25:20):
he's at the Golden Lamb in Lebanon and he's demonstrating
to his friends how this guy could have shot himself.
The victim, Oh, they have shot himself by pulling a
gun from his cumberbun. The gun goes off, clem up.
The Landingham kills himself at the Golden Lamb.

Speaker 1 (01:25:38):
Instant karma.

Speaker 12 (01:25:39):
Yes, And there is a room on the second floor
at the Golden Lamb called the Clemate of the Landingham Room.
So this is one of the great congressmen from Dayton.
Know how Dayton at the time was a hotbed of copperheads.
In fact, they had riots, They had all kinds of
crazy stuff going on there during the Civil War.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
It was amazing, know And and when you mentioned a
story like that, and I quite often when people are
talking about social unrest, remember when Antifat took over the street,
it's a Black Lives Matter protesters all, Oh my god,
the world's coming to an end. It's never been like this. This,
this is so terrible. The country has never seen such
social unrest or division. My mind goes back to, say,

(01:26:24):
two periods in history, modern history. The SIMS sims SL
Liberation movement. They actually blew up the Senate bathroom, you know, Okay,
the January sixth riders stormed the Capitol and they mayhem
and all of that. They didn't play at bombs and
blow stuff up, right, I mean, And it wasn't the

(01:26:47):
only bomb. They blew up the Haymarket Statute in Chicago,
our statue in Chicago. They had all kinds of bombings,
killing a police officers. Crazy you had it was it
Bobby Seal and the Black Panthers and just really a
lot of violence, the killing of RFK, the killing of
Martin Luther K Luther King, JFK, Malcolm X even, I mean,

(01:27:10):
just the violence was so much more profound than thankfully
it is now. And yes, we have our share of violence,
and I'm not trying to downplay it, but if you
don't reflect back, and that was I mean, that was
almost within my lifetime being born in sixty five, of
course don't remember it. But then rewind to around the
turn of the century with all the Kamis and socialists

(01:27:31):
run around also committing acts of violence and terrorism.

Speaker 12 (01:27:35):
And this edition arrests during World War One. Yes, President Wilson, Yes,
I mean what you're onto with the seventies though, I
was a high school senior in those days, and it
really shocked me when I went back to research how
many bombings there were. For example, in Cleveland, when the
lic of Oli and the Jack Whitemob went to war
against each other, there were bombings almost every month for

(01:27:58):
a long time. And meanwhile, well all over the country,
these weathermen bombings were owing your weather underground. It was
like crazy stuff, rotc buildings, people were getting killed, oh yeah,
policemen were getting shot randomly. It was a nutty time.
I had no idea that there were that many bombings
going on. Of course, I was a high school kid.
I wasn't paying attention to the news at the time,

(01:28:19):
but what a nutty time.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
And then the Kent State shootings on top of it.
So you know, I mean, it's easy to push all
those different things and crunch them down into a ten
minute discussion like we're having right now. But really it
was a rather very concentrated time of violence, it was,
and violence like again, thankfully we don't see on that
same level now. Yes, you have your occasional Sarnev brothers,

(01:28:45):
you know, those guys obviously experiencing the realities of death
or prison. But you know, it's we all think that
our individual life, that everything happens within our vidual lives,
and that we exist in this moment in time when
you know all this has hap Oh my god, oh

(01:29:05):
my god, oh my god. You know, we live basically
a click second moment. Our entire life is just a
moment in history. That's why I don't believe in you know,
in man made climate change. Every storm is my fault?
Are you out of your mind? Did you look at
like the glacier that used to cover the whole state
of Ohio ten thousand years ago or anyhow. But it's fascinating.

(01:29:29):
Maybe you write a book about all that that violence
and protests in the sixties. That's my favorite historical period
in our country between for what, I don't know why,
and I think we talked about this last time, between
the Kerawhac Beatneck area all through the early seventies and
the development and the wild societal changes that went on

(01:29:52):
just during that decade, the counterculture, the all of it.

Speaker 12 (01:29:57):
A lot of that is in my book not in
our time, when I talk about the mom in northern Ohio,
and then I went into a whole chapter about all
the bombings that were going on, crazy stuff. I mean,
it's just to look back on it now. The seventies
were such a dark period. It's very, very and all
you have to do is watch a movie from the
seventies and you just kind of go, they really made

(01:30:20):
this stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
I know, I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 12 (01:30:23):
It's really just dark and depressing, and everything is corruption
and evil and horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
It's just, yeah, more they change, the more things stay
the same. Peter Bronson will continue this conversation lots of
talk about first though, when I mention QC kinetics, because
twenty twenty five could be the year without pain. You
got knee pain, joint pain, hit pain, can't sleep at
night because of the pain. You get up in the
morning and it's like, oh, and you don't like that happening.

(01:30:52):
Of course, if you're struggling with that kind of pain,
probably I think I feel safe and saying you've gotten
steroid shots, probably had pain medication, and your doctor probably
has had a conversation with you about surgery. Well, how
about trying a different path q C kinetics. There are
advanced protocols in regenerative medicine taking your body's natural healing powers,

(01:31:14):
concentrating them and putting them right there in the area
that pain have helped tens of thousands of people with
lasting relief. So maybe twenty twenty five is your year
without pain, without those pain pills, avoiding the surgery knife
and all the downtime that goes along with that. QC
kinetics medical professions awaiting you with the treatments right in
the office with no downtime, So take them up on

(01:31:35):
the free consultation. If you're not qualified or you're eight.
For whatever reason, this won't work for you, they'll tell
you consultations free. You know you can use your SFFSA
and HSA dollars to cover the costs of this. Give
them a shout, just get up, schedule the free consultation

an analysis of the United States policy US is self

(01:33:24):
defeating arrogance. That's what Daniel Davis. The meantime, Peter Bronson
in the studio, and love talking with Peter because you
quite literally can talk with him about anything. And after
our last conversation, you maybe scratching your head, going, well,
what's this all about in this hour? Well, it's about
anything and originally the talking we're gonna talk kind of
local politics was the general subject matter, and off the

(01:33:45):
break I started talking about, well, I really don't know
a whole lot about local politics because there's so very
little reporting on it, and he's like, oh my god.
And see there's the tip of the iceberg of the
next conversation. The world's a completely different place back when
you were with the inquiry, I mean you, I mean
we knew in depth and in detail every council meeting

(01:34:08):
the subject matter with the committees, and.

Speaker 12 (01:34:10):
If there was a zoning Board of Appeals meeting that
was controversial, we staffed it. We had people all over
City Hall, and that's what kept the elected people and
the bureaucrats looking over their shoulders, because they knew if
they did something stupid, they always had to stop and
think how would this look in a headline. A lot
of them didn't, of course, you know, and it was
obvious that made for good headlines. They made great headlines.

(01:34:34):
But we had people on everything, and now there's nobody watching,
and now you begin to see the corruption that we've
had at City Hall, the just unilateral stupidity of decisions
that are just covering things up or decisions that just
don't make sense, and it's because there's nobody watching. And

(01:34:56):
elected officials who are not being watched are like kids
in with their hands in the candy jar.

Speaker 1 (01:35:01):
They just are not gonna stop. Well, I suppose this
is a reflection is like you know, video killed the
radio star or the internet killed local newspapers. Yeah, but
that causes one, okay, but yeah, Well let's move over
then to perhaps some potentially for other causes. Now if
I want to consume that, and I presume because for

(01:35:22):
years and years and years people did have an interest
in what was happening locally in politics. Did that interest
disappear or is it just still out there being unfulfilled
in terms of getting the information, Because I figure if
there's a demand, then even if it's just online, you
should be able to get that. But I'll give props
to the local media that does have online content, but

(01:35:44):
again it's not nearly nearly as in depth.

Speaker 12 (01:35:48):
Well, you know, I think there is a demand for
the kind of in depth investigative reporting just which really
should just be called solid reporting that tells people to
context and gets into the details what happened with the
newspapers and I know it specifically from my career in
newspapers over thirty years, was that the newspapers began to

(01:36:11):
grow more and more out of touch with their readers,
and they began to ignore their readers. And there's a
cost for that, because the only thing you have to
spend in media, your coin is credibility.

Speaker 1 (01:36:24):
And if you don't have credibility.

Speaker 12 (01:36:26):
If you keep telling them things that they know aren't true,
if you keep getting stories wrong, if you keep coming
to every story with an attitude which always came from
the left. I mean, it got to the point where
conservatives in the newsroom could be counted on one hand,
and that's out of one hundred and fifty some people.
So it's just not right that that happened.

Speaker 1 (01:36:47):
Well, it's reflective of a national phenomena, is what you're saying.
Exactly what happened at the Inquirer or any of the
other uses.

Speaker 12 (01:36:53):
In the macro sense now in all media, and it's
part of the reason it resonates so great. When Trump
said yesterday we need a fair, balanced media.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
We need a great media, but it needs to be fair.
Come on, come back, do your job. Yeah, and how
about without interjecting and you know I am a commentator.
This is I mean stream of consciousness. I have a philosophy.
I like to interject my philosophy into my analysis of
matters that I'm speaking on. I'm happy to report these
specific facts which provide the springboard for my commentary. But

(01:37:27):
that's not what a reporter should do. They should stop
with reporting the facts and then let me and you
and the other folks draw their own conclusions from a
political perspective, whether they think it's a right or not
thing to exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:37:39):
They should be the play by play guy at the
football game, not the guy on the sidelines who jumps
into the game and decides to tackle somebody running down
the side.

Speaker 1 (01:37:48):
I'm sorry, let's go back in time, Kenna. Never never
forget that, man. That was one of the funniest things
I've ever seen in football. Seven five will continue with
Peter Broudson. I am enjoying this, and I hope the

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
Seven thirty here fifty five KRC. The talk station Brian
Thomas with in city of Peter Bronson, and again a
strong recommendation for any reader or somebody who's interested in history,
generally speaking local Greater Cincinnati, Kentucky, Ohio history. His books
are fantastic reads. Promised Land How the Midwest was one

(01:40:31):
preceded by the Man Who Saves Cincinnati, which is actually
the sequel historically speaking, Promised Land, the prequel to The
Man Who Saves Cincinnati. But in order in which they
were written, I'm going backwards. Then you get to Forbidden
Fruits in City Underworld, in the supper Club Inferna, that
of course refer to the Beverly Hills supper Club and
the mob connection with that burning down not in our town,

(01:40:52):
the Queen City versus the King of Smut, and that
one is about Larry Flint pornography generally speaking, but beyond that,
and there's more there. Just go to find Peter Brownson online.
Just go to Chilidog Press dot com. And I had
a listener send me a book. He wrote himself, he
heard me talking to you, he heard me mentioned Chili
Dog Press, and he reached out to you, and he

(01:41:13):
wrote me a letter. He sent me a copy of
his book along with a very nice note talking about
how awesome you are. You helped him out, you gave
him some guidance, and in fact, I do believe you
published his book so fantastic. It's a neat story, So
thank you and for inspiring. Also, there's other local writers
out there, And you know, when I was a lawyer,

(01:41:33):
I used to write all the time, and to the
extent not you know, putting pen to paper and thoughts
and just it's been so long, I don't know, but
I know a lot of people out there do it.
So they draw a lot of inspiration from you. And
with that small publishing company, I think you provide folks
who otherwise wouldn't have an avenue. That's right.

Speaker 12 (01:41:51):
We do about twelve fifteen titles a year, all kinds
of things, children's books, biographies, fiction, science fiction, mysteries, whatever
people want to write. Now I can help them pretty
much from start to finish, coaching, editing, helping them work
through writer's block, all kinds of things that happen when
you're writing a book and getting them over the finish

(01:42:13):
line with a good printer, with great designers who do
fantastic covers, and it all comes together and it's nothing
like giving somebody seeing them get that book from their
hands with their name on it.

Speaker 1 (01:42:25):
Yeah, it's got to be exciting for the writer. It's like,
oh my god, look what I created. Yeah, it's like
very coast to make furniture, little small minium mission style stuff.
And even to this day when I look at it,
I'm like, I can't believe I made that. I tried
to sit in and do that. Now I wouldn't even
know where to start, but at least I accomplished it
at one period. Very cool. It's just like, why not
just stick for this topic just for a moment, because

(01:42:46):
I do want to get back to the media bias thing.
But sure, in terms of writing a book, is there's
sort of a you have to have a whole start
to finish general concept timeline, and then go in and
fill in the details. Yes, I got to know where
you're going from point A to Z.

Speaker 12 (01:43:04):
Absolutely, I urge people to always sit down and make
an outline first. Don't act like it's going to be
rigid or that you're not going to depart from that,
because naturally you will as your research progresses or as
you're writing takes a different direction. But if you have
that it's like the safety net, and if you get

(01:43:24):
lost or you wonder why did I digress so far
in this direction, you go back to your outline and say,
this is where I'm going to end up, and this
is how it all.

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):
Works, like a movie storyboard kind of exactly. Okay, Yeah,
it really does help.

Speaker 12 (01:43:35):
And I urge most people also to put together their
whole manuscript before they come to me, because so many
discover the hard way how difficult it can be to
write a book. It takes a lot of dedication and
discipline to finish from start finish. And so sometimes they
come and they just send a few chapters and I
take care of that form and coach them and get

(01:43:56):
them in the right direction.

Speaker 1 (01:43:57):
But then they never come back. So okay, I can
see that it gets Life gets in the way. But
I suppose it's almost impossible to step outside of yourself
and be objective about whether what you're writing is appealing,
whether it is interesting. You know, I always give props,
Say what you want about Bill O'Reilly his Killing series books,

(01:44:19):
for example, EI, they're just so easy to read, They're
fascinating his writing style, and I know he has help,
but it just it's sort of compelling. You're like, you
don't want to put it down. There's an art to
There's got to be an art to saying I can't
put this book down. One of my favorite authors, Dostoyevsky,
you can put that down, you know. I mean, there's

(01:44:40):
only so much fyodoor dust ask you can take it
in an hour or so and then it's like, all right,
I'm coming back to this later a break, right, But
you know, in terms of those maybe it's just the
length of the book, but perhaps it's the subject matter,
because of course Dusky's a lot heaviier and more psychological
and in depth. And you know, bill Ayevsky's.

Speaker 12 (01:45:01):
The Whiskey and the Chaser is something by John Grisham
or you know. You know, so I do him as
a little bit of bullfight. I'd read two books at
the same time, maybe five books at the same time.
But I can go back to Dostoevski, but then I'll
have to have a chaser of Stephen Hunter, Jonathan Gilstrapper,
some of the thriller writers that I.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
Like, Yeah, you got to lighten things up every once
in a while, an we'll bring him back. I got,
I got further questions about this shift in media bias.
We did talk about the enquire and I don't want
to say it's demise, but it's rapid decline. And you
had a couple of inside information baseball kind of comments
on that. But the broader media reality most notably as

(01:45:44):
we have seen post Trump election, and sort of their
current reflection and whether you think that might bring about
a renaissance in media. I'm really curious to pick your
brand about that, Peter Bronson. It's seven thirty five right now.
If you have karos to detalk station and a strong, strong, strong,
strong recommendation to call USA USA Insulation, you know, if
you've never called them, and if you've got a brand

(01:46:06):
new home, don't bother. I suppose, because they're supposed to
insulate those things to the fullest extent possible. But older
homes mid seventies and before you got nothing in the
exterior walls, and those late seventies eighties, and I don't
know how far in but that's why I say it's
a free inspection. The folks at US Insulation can determine
how much insulation you have in your exterior walls, and

(01:46:28):
if it's insufficient, you can get the phone to go
in with the old That kind of like provides a
double layer. But if there's nothing in there, you're going
to be just in all cases truly amazed by the
immediate improvement and comfort. And then there's that energy savings,
which I always think is the most important thing. Comfort,
of course is going to come along with a well
insulated home, but the amount of money you can save

(01:46:49):
every month probably maybe not, but yeah, in many cases
it'll pay for itself because right now it's only ninety
nine dollars a month interest free. You've seen your energy
bill and you know that thing is never going down,
So why not nip it there and start saving money
each and every month on a product it literally pays
for itself. I would imagine improves the value of your home.

(01:47:10):
So that's why it was a housewarming gift from my
wife and me to my daughter and Eric with their
under insulated R twelve late seventies build home. It's fully
insulated now and they're really enjoying the benefits of that.
You can too, call for the quote while it's still
ninety nine dollars a month interest free, and while that
energy tax credit is still available. Twelve hundred dollars when
you're doing your taxes next year. Five one three three

Speaker 1 (01:48:37):
Seven forty if if you've got KC DE talk station.
I am enjoying the hell of this conversation I'm having
both on and off air with Peter Bronson. You may
remember from back in his Enquire days, and he was
there for a long, long time. Of course, a wonderful,
wonderful author. Chili Dog Press to find Peter's books as
well as if you consider yourself a bit of a writer,
he is a publisher, so you can work with Pa

(01:49:00):
on that. But beyond that, Peter, going back to your
Enquire days, and we all we already talked about the
world a completely different place. At one point you got
straight reporting. You would interview the Dems and the Republicans,
but you'd interview them, you put their comments in print,
the factual information behind it, and that let their leaders
the readers draw their own conclusions. Now bias started leaking

(01:49:22):
into it. And I know about that because I've been
around long enough to remember when a lot of people
in my youth, even I mean going back to like
even I suppose my college years, you know, eighty three
to eighty all the way through law school is ninety.
But you hear people all the time, I screw the inquiry.
They just become this left wing rag and it did

(01:49:43):
start moving further and further left. Readership out obviously declined.
And now we're at a time where we have internet
and I know, the paper itself now is a lot
of repetition from USA today. I have Sharon Coolidge on
the program, and you know, whatever her political bias is,
I actually kind of feel sorry for her because she
is trying to accomplish by doing you know, going to

(01:50:07):
city halls, she went to the damn train sale meetings.
Since she's trying to accomplish as one single human being
what a whole team of people used to go out
there and do. So, Sharon, if you're out there, God
bless you. But beyond that, this bias crept into it.
But it's not The InCAR is an illustration of that.
All across this great land. We call it the you know,

(01:50:29):
the the mainstream media, which everybody knows is shorthand for
this interjection of commentary and political bias into normal news reporting.
All right, moment of reflection seems to be happening right now.
Look what happened to the ratings at MSNBC after Trump
got reelected. People even said, you know, we felt like
we've been lied to. They were perpetuating this myth that

(01:50:50):
Biden was razor sharp and lo and behold, everybody's being
lied to. They lied over and over again by repeating
the Russia, Russia, Russia. You know, there's nothing here to
see on Hillary Clinton and server and the hunter Biden
laptop is a myth. All these lies, yes, but they
got in trouble because they kept repeating them or not
reporting on them at all. And they're feeling obviously if

(01:51:12):
you just look at ratings as the barometer, they're feeling
the aftermath of that pressure. Absolutely. Now with all that,
what do you think is going to happen? Will they
change their tune, Will they try to go back to
those days of honest reporting and fair and unbalanced or
balance rather, or do you just see this as a
continued downward spile.

Speaker 12 (01:51:33):
So I would believe. I believe that there are two
ways this can happen, and one is the Uh. Really
it's about the same way that the bias was installed
to begin with. So in my book, not in our
town I tell a story within the story of the
Inquirer newsroom with composite people as characters to a show
how the newsrooms became increasingly political and increasingly driven by

(01:51:58):
agendas and increasing The editors didn't have the backbone to
stand up against this and say stick to the news
because they would get replaced, as happens in newsrooms by
people coming up out of college in the seventies from
the Love generation who wanted to change the world by
corrupting the institutions to fit their worldview.

Speaker 1 (01:52:19):
Good point.

Speaker 12 (01:52:20):
So that's how these institutions were changed from within. Now
today they can be changed back from within by people
like Jeff Bezos, who's saying, Washington Post, you guys are
completely off track.

Speaker 1 (01:52:33):
You've tilted so far to the left. People aren't reading
our paper.

Speaker 12 (01:52:36):
I own it, and I'm a publisher, and I want
this to be a better product. So he is forcing
from top down from within as publishers used to. And
we're seeing that also with the La Times, where they're
throwing a fit because their publisher is also doing the
same thing. Now it also can be changed from without,
and the way that's happening, which is very encouraging. I

(01:52:59):
think is what happened to George Stephanopolos. It's what happened
to all these media companies who slandered Nicholas Sandman in
that famous case at the Capitol. Rible, right, it was
just horrible. Well, these settlements, they're huge, and that does
get the publishers and the media's attention to say, that's

(01:53:19):
a great Wait a minute, so finally, in.

Speaker 1 (01:53:22):
Other words, they can be held accountable exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:53:24):
And you're seeing people like Clarence Thomas and Alito saying
this libel laws have gone way too far to protect
media and it's all done. All these precedents were set
back in the days and we didn't even have online
media and all these competitive platforms.

Speaker 1 (01:53:39):
Yeah, New York Time standard with the bias.

Speaker 12 (01:53:42):
Yeah, the absolute malise standard is just ridiculous. And public
figures being subject to this. So when Trump settled and
and what I read George Stephanopolos had to pay a
million out of his own pocket. So that's the kind
of thing that does get the attention of the media.

Speaker 1 (01:53:57):
I hope. I hope. So too, one follow up, we
get back on that what is a journalist these days?
Which is a journalist? We're going to talk about that
we get back because I've heard people throw the word
degree around and I'm sorry, I don't buy into that
affordable imaging. I do buy into the concept of affordable
imaging because imaging at a hospital imaging department isn't unless

(01:54:21):
you think paying the eight you know, three grand auty
r own pockets affordability after a five thousand dollars bills.
Jeff knows all about that. He called ahead of time,
my friend, Jeff Gret, my greatest little He's gonna send
me an email here any second out of the big
smiley face on it, because he still is happy about
the fact that he's saved thirty one hundred dollars when
he got a CT scan because he took my advice
and went to the place with really low overhead but

(01:54:42):
nothing else different than the hospital imaging department that's affordable
imaging services, where that's CT scan cost him six hundred
dollars if he got the contrast anyway, if he got
one without the contrast, it was four hundred and fifty bucks.
And yes, that price includes the board certified radiologist report.
But he call it ahead of the time. The hospital
told him his out of pocket was going to be
thirty one hundred dollars. That's right after medical insurance. You see,

(01:55:06):
it doesn't have to be that way. Go ahead, you
call your hospital imaging department when your doctor orders the MRI,
the CT scan, the echo cardigram ultrasound or lung screening
or cardiac scoring, and they got to let you know,
make sure you get all the bills too, because they
may not give you separately. Tell you that the board
certified radiologists report. Oh, by the way, that's going to
say back an extra five hundred or whatever. But Affordable

(01:55:28):
Imaging Services, each of the scans comes with the radiologists report.
You and your doc will both get that within forty
eight hours. I've been there, I got a CT scan there.
I saved money myself, so I put my money where
my mouth is and you can too. But you get
to keep most of it because you went to Affordable
imaging Services. You have a choice when it comes to
your medical care. Five one three seven, five three eight thousand,

Chuck king ramon fifty five KRE seed the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:56:51):
Seven fifty five KERCD talk station by Times with Peter
Bronson going over a variety of subjects this morning. But
since we got into the concept of media bias, and
Peter goes back far enough in the days of like,
for example, the enquire where he spent a lot of
years it was much more factual reporting. And I had
to ask the question because again the topic of the

(01:57:12):
internet's popped up number of times this morning. I can
sit down, I can literally write anything I want. I
could go to a Sin Saint council meeting. I could listen,
I could observe, I could write down the facts. I
could write down quotes. I could come and put it
on any literally any site I want, which is fulfilling
the responsibility of or the job title of a journalist.

(01:57:34):
And what bothers me in you mentioned it before it
started in the early seventies when the old schools started
getting replaced by the new people, the free speech movement people,
the students for Democratic Society people, the ones who got
a liberal, left wing biased journalism degree and took that
out into the world and then started interjecting their own

(01:57:56):
political philosophy into it, which rubbed a lot of us
the wrong way anyway. But that was the product of
having gone through journalism school. Absolutely. Now, what possible benefit
or what point is there to journalism school? If I
can do everything a journalist, what does that journalism degree
give me? If I said I want to be a reporter?

(01:58:17):
Now aren't I a reporter simply by doing and fulfilling
the role that I just mentioned, Or do I lack
some sort of credential or credibility or something like a
path that I need to get in any given space.
What's the story on this?

Speaker 12 (01:58:30):
Well, A lot of people in the newsroom when I
was starting out used to have the view that journalism
really went off the track when it became known as journalism.
In other words, it was all part of credentialism. So
once upon a time, being a reporter was a trade,
and you just needed to have a high good high

(01:58:50):
school education in English, be able to write on deadline
and put together a sentence, and adhere to the professional standards,
which were fairness, honestly, the tell both sides, be thorough,
all of those things that we don't see anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:59:04):
Which would have been the job of an editor to
keep you in line, right exactly, So your reporter that
you see in the nineteen thirties movies, Ah, yeah, I
gotta got out of the Yeah, I saw the fight
today and you know, kid Muggsy knocked out soon. So
they put the article together, the editor would look at
it and say, come on, what is this ar or
great job, actual reporting, or that would be the control mechanism.

Speaker 12 (01:59:26):
Exactly, big fat, red grease pencil and it just goes
right through your copy.

Speaker 1 (01:59:30):
I work for guys like that. They would slice you
to ribbons.

Speaker 12 (01:59:34):
And sometimes they would accompany that with a side of abuse.

Speaker 1 (01:59:39):
Yea, so profession different.

Speaker 12 (01:59:41):
You go back and write it again. But that was
that was not really considered.

Speaker 1 (01:59:45):
It was a lawyer. I'm serious. I'm having Vietnam like
flashbacks now, Peter.

Speaker 12 (01:59:51):
It would be more like a trade like mechanics and
plumbers and people.

Speaker 1 (01:59:56):
We had a job to do.

Speaker 12 (01:59:57):
But then the college just decided they could create this
whole program and credential it and call it journalism, which
is a pretentious French word for reporter. That's all it is,
y and journalists. Now people have this total confusion about
what is a journalist. They think people on cable news
are journalists.

Speaker 11 (02:00:14):
They're not.

Speaker 12 (02:00:15):
They're commentators, they're pundits, they're opinion people. People like Stephanopoulos.
He's a political operative. He worked in the Clinton administration.
He was one of the guys who covered up for
slick Willie.

Speaker 8 (02:00:26):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:00:26):
He's also not writing what he's reading. That's why they
call him talking heads exactly.

Speaker 12 (02:00:31):
They don't write anything. They read a teleprompter. Now, I
know a lot of TV people, especially on the local level,
are doing a heck of a job reporting the news
and gathering news and writing news correct. But when you
get up to a certain level like on Fox or
CNN or MSNBC, people like Rachel Mattosi is not a journalist.

(02:00:53):
None of those people on MSNBC are journalists. None of
them have a journalist and background that I know of.
There are very few I'd actually worked in the trade
like newspapers or coming up through the ranks.

Speaker 1 (02:01:04):
They were never apprentice, exactly a journeyman.

Speaker 12 (02:01:07):
They basically most of them moved out of politics sideways,
and that's where they scored the big money. Like Stephanoppos
paid three million a year to do what to interview people?
He's really basically I think he's a functionary of the
Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (02:01:24):
Well yeah, I mean to the extent they allow so
much of his political bias to creep into whatever he's
reading off of the teleprompter. That's exactly what he is.
Whether he's officially a member of any given you know,
political action committee or party affiliated, guy has a role
in some capacity. Outside of his role, he is filling
that function by just simply parroting their political message exactly.

Speaker 12 (02:01:47):
So here's another analogy. So when I worked as editor
of the editorial page, we had what we called a
wall between church and state, which was the editorial page
was the publisher's page, and that's where all the opinions were.
Right over here is the news. We don't co mingle.
We don't we don't have opinions in the news, and
we don't have that much news in the opinions we comment.

(02:02:08):
So that gradually became so blurred because the reporters were
not content to have opinions on the editorial page that
they couldn't Rebut so if you had a conservative editorial page,
you had reporters out there working to undermine and answer
that like a letter to the editor and their columns
and their and their stories. And now we don't even

(02:02:29):
have editorial pages because really the news side took over
the function.

Speaker 1 (02:02:33):
Peter Bronson, this has been a real treat. What a
wonderful I'll even call it Christmas present for me to
be able to talk with you for another hour. And
now I find out that we both flong to the
same gun range. So we're going to go out shooting
some time together and I look forward to that'd be great.
Hell yeah, and lunch sometime we can talk books again. Yeah, Peter,
You're always welcome on the program. I look maybe something

(02:02:54):
we can just sort of conceptually contemplate the idea of
you coming in. Maybe you know, if you times next
year a little bit more often and do exactly this,
because I think it's a wonderful exercise to talk and
reflect on these matters, historic and otherwise and again. Chilidogpress
dot com find Peter's books and other books. And if
you're interested in becoming a book are having your book published,

(02:03:16):
you need to talk to Peter about that. Seven fifty
seven Happy Holidays to my brother Christmas. Merry Christmas. Stick around, folks.
It is time for the inside scoop with bright Bart News.
Today we'll talk drones with tech editor Colin Maydine, followed
by the Daniel Davis Deep dive, including topics US self
defeating arrogance. I'll be right back there we go again,

(02:03:37):
another news updates. We're going to get all the facts,
an ear full of information at the top of the
hour and they'll break it down fast fifty five krs.
The talk station.

Speaker 12 (02:03:47):
This report is daniel iHeartRadio app powered by fifty five
krs the talk station.

Speaker 1 (02:03:56):
A six and fifty five KRC the talk station Brian Thomas.
All looking forward to Tuesdays this time because it's time
to get the insight scoop from Breitbart News, a website
that used the most definitely bookmark, which is why we
start out this segment saying bookmark A B R E I,
t BA, RT dot com and today the return of
Tech editor Colum and Ie to talk about drones. I

(02:04:17):
was so happy to see you on the list this morning, Colin,
welcome back to the Morning Show.

Speaker 8 (02:04:22):
Good morning, Brian. Hope you're doing well well.

Speaker 1 (02:04:24):
We got a list of people a mile long who
will be more than happy to take their drone shot
and help bring down the drones in New Jersey wherever
they're happening to fly. Now. I know the FAA and
the laws prohibit us from taking sort of ground based
pot shots at them, but it sounds like it will
be great sport. Colin.

Speaker 11 (02:04:46):
Yeah, I mean you could be looking at the Donna
the next Olympic sport right trying to knock mystery drone
out of the air.

Speaker 1 (02:04:53):
I love that you're gonna have to increase your lead
time and all that, but I'm sure we could figure
it out anyway. Moving on from the kaigh comedy that
might exist in that, this is kind of freaking people out.
I mean, I keep seeing the word psyop running around,
you know, a false flag being waved around. But I
think there's enough reality. There's enough real film and video

(02:05:14):
because everybody has a cell phone or a smartphone with
a camera on it. This is kind of creepy. These
things are flying around. Now we can eliminate some of
them as genuine aircraft. I get it. Flying at night
aircraft have lights on them, but not all of them,
and some of them are flying around some sensitive areas,
and a lot of people were recalling the Chinese balloom

(02:05:35):
that Biden let fly all the way over our country
before shooting it down and thinking that there may be
something really nefarious going on. What is your collective take
on this column.

Speaker 11 (02:05:47):
Well, the first and most important thing is, you know,
I think there is a lot of gaslighting going on, so,
you know, I think the Brian tim Thomas audience is
uniquely qualified because of everything you say every day to
understand if government officials are opening their mouths, they're lying.
So the government is lying about everything drone related right now.

(02:06:12):
You know, much of their much of their statements is
don't believe you're lying. Eyes just just believe the friendly
federal agencies and the Pentagon who will definitely tell the truth.

Speaker 8 (02:06:23):
Right.

Speaker 11 (02:06:24):
Yeah, So, you know, you really hit the nail on
the head. There's certainly some hysteria. There's certainly people who
are generally looking down at their smartphones are now looking
up at the sky and anything they.

Speaker 8 (02:06:37):
See in a mystery drone.

Speaker 11 (02:06:38):
It kind of reminds me of how after Pearl Harbor
there was a lot of you know, illegitimate sightings of
Japanese Euros dooming around the West coast.

Speaker 3 (02:06:49):
Right.

Speaker 8 (02:06:51):
So, you know, yes, there's some hysteria. But the reason
I've been following.

Speaker 11 (02:06:56):
This story closely is we know there's many legitimate sightings
of things that should not be flying around without people
knowing what they are. We have islets we have active
and retired military. You know, we have incidents like medevac
helicopters being unable to land and try to save people's

(02:07:17):
lives because of large drones zooming around a Coastguard cutter
swarmed by fifteen to twenty drones. And these are not
you know, when people hear about this story for the
first time, they tend to think of, you know, small
consumer or prosumer drones, you know, things that kind of
blur the lines between commercial and consumer.

Speaker 8 (02:07:38):
These are not that. These are you know.

Speaker 11 (02:07:41):
Qualified people, people who are good at determining size of
objects like in the air, like pilots are saying. These
are ranging from dinner table size to the size of
a car, which are you know, not something you buy
off Amazon. No, these are the big boys. So we've
got unknown things flying around the East Coast, at least

(02:08:04):
the East Coast, if not elsewhere for determined reasons, and
the government's telling us don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (02:08:10):
Well, let's just take into consideration that one very strange
yet real fact, which is some of them are as
big as a car. Now, anybody can go to Amazon
and buy one that's got a damn camera on it,
so you can sure film what'sever on the ground. Hmm.
Why would you need a drone the size of a

(02:08:33):
car unless it's got something that like a payload that
could be dangerous, could be used for you know, massive
data collections. I mean, there's got to be a reason
they build them that big, and that's so they can
carry around something that's really really big or be useful
for something beyond just filming the ground below it.

Speaker 8 (02:08:51):
That's a great point, Brian.

Speaker 11 (02:08:53):
I think people need to step back and think about
what do we use drones for. Why did drones exist today?
You know, if your Barack Obama, drones exist to blow
up families and you know, random innocent people on the
other side of the world. But they do have purposes
beyond dropping bombs. Right, drones are excellent because they're cheap

(02:09:13):
to fly.

Speaker 1 (02:09:14):
They can fly.

Speaker 11 (02:09:15):
Way longer than regular airplanes because you know, they're much lighter, uh,
and they're they're they don't have to worry about keeping
a human safe inside.

Speaker 8 (02:09:26):
Right.

Speaker 11 (02:09:27):
They're very good for loitering over an area, using sensors
to see what's going on, looking for things, sniffing around.
That's that's what drones are for. So that makes you know,
that adds a little bit of perspective of Okay, so
why are these things spending endless airtime every night apparently
around New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania. You know, they're they're

(02:09:49):
just floating around looking for something would be the most
obvious answer. And the government, you know, they're super sure
about certain things. They're super sure. We shouldn't worry about it, right,
Not foreigners, they're.

Speaker 8 (02:10:03):
Not the Pentagon.

Speaker 11 (02:10:04):
Yet we don't know what they are. They're not willing
to tell us. You know, Donald Trump came out and
said they know what they are. They just don't want
to tell you because he has a way of speaking
plainly and.

Speaker 1 (02:10:14):
Telling the truth exactly.

Speaker 8 (02:10:15):
But they're you know, that's.

Speaker 11 (02:10:17):
What when you ask me, why are their drones flying around,
hanging around, you know, aimlessly all night, Well, that's what
drones do. That's why people use drones, because they're good
at hanging around, seeing what's going on, looking for stuff.
These large drones, to your point, yeah, some of them
carry bombs, like the ones that you know the military uses,

(02:10:38):
but a lot of them are stuff to the gills
with sensors for whatever, you know, whether it's electronics or
radiation or other things. That's what drones do. So if
you want to know why there's drones flying around these coasts,
they're doing drone.

Speaker 1 (02:10:51):
Things, right, which is seemingly unlimited category. When you start
talking about it contextually, knowing how many applications and drones
have put to so they're doing drone things all right.
We probably read a very large chapter, if not a
book on drone things, which gives no one any comfort Colin,
which means I go back to this factual void we

(02:11:16):
have here, which I don't know if they want us
to to start talking conspiracy theories. But when they don't
speak and they say something stupid like we have no
idea who runs them, who owns them, where they come from,
but we know you have nothing to worry about, that
is the factual void that immediately invites these conspiracy theories.
It's almost as if they want us to have them.

Speaker 11 (02:11:38):
You know, it makes you wonder about that, Brian, because
it really has evolved to be the government playbook. You know,
when there's some sort of terror attack, within minutes, they'll
tell us this is not as long as terrorism. Like, well,
that doesn't really help me, Bud, because you know, you're
not saying what it is, you're not saying who did it.
You're just falling over yourself to say what it's not.

(02:11:59):
You know, we've certainly been in a factual void for
the last four years, if not, if not longer than that.
But yeah, you know, nature.

Speaker 8 (02:12:07):
Hates a vacuum.

Speaker 11 (02:12:08):
We if they don't tell us anything and they're trying
to tell us not to believe our lying eyes, it
makes people chatter and it makes people try to answer
the question. And that's why you've got a lot of
theories floating around, whether they're ours or someone else's. But
you know, you brought up something earlier that's important, which

(02:12:29):
is you can't really trust that. I think conservatives right
now are tending the write off that these may be
foreign controlled But you just got to go look at
that Chinese spy balloons and the government was very lackadaisical.
They let them gather intelligence across our whole country and
then they finally shot it down after it gathered and
transmitted all the intelligence that wanted. So, you know, one

(02:12:50):
message I would have to everybody is, although there's a
you know, there's a lot of circumstanceal evidence saying these
are US drones, don't discount then angle because our current
government doesn't seem to be interested in stopping foreign people
from doing bad stuff to America.

Speaker 1 (02:13:07):
That is true, Although I have to tell you Colin.
And you know, if it turns out to have some
level of accuracy to it, I'll be the first person
to eat my words. The elected representative who suggested it
was an Iranian mothership that was sending these things over
I mean again, going back to conspiracy theories. I don't
know from what orifice he pulled out that theory, but

(02:13:28):
you know that he said it out loud, and he
puts his own credibility on the line for making that utterance. Uh,
you know it's I don't believe it for a moment,
but it just sounds preposterous, but preposterous enough in these
you know, factually devoid times that you know, maybe some
people out there going, no, that's what it is. It's
an Iranian mothership. Okay, how how how is it Iran

(02:13:50):
in not North Korea or Russia or someone who has
even the more greater capability of pulling that off China,
who basically has done it before.

Speaker 8 (02:14:01):
Right.

Speaker 11 (02:14:03):
Yeah, you know sometimes Brian, you think too much like
a lawyer. Right if I get up these guys who
have done it before, you know, and have have a
means motive, an opportunity, or is it this country who
doesn't really hang out in the Atlantic Ocean. That's suddenly
they have a mother ship, right, Yeah, you know that
one thing that happens, and this is just my opinion is,

(02:14:23):
you know, when we have these situations that are fast
moving with low amounts of facts, you get people who
have a vested interest in, say us, you know, getting
into a hot whar with Iran or you know, painting
Iran as a bad guy. They find opportunities to reach
out to folks and plant these stories. And that happens

(02:14:43):
because of the you know the fact that there's the
government is either lying or just not telling you know,
the facts of the situation. And it's so fast moving,
and these guys have their phones ringing off the hooks
because you know, from everyone from constituents to state and
local officials saying you got to get us answers on
this so well, and you know sometimes they bark up

(02:15:05):
the wrong tree.

Speaker 1 (02:15:06):
Well, and again, go about your initial point. We're being
lied to. We all kind of know it. And Connie
just sent me one I've seen this before. Oh, they're
looking for missing nuclear waste. Apparently some piece of equipment
that had nuclear waste in it. Well, listen, Colin, I
don't know about you. If that's what they're doing, I
can handle that as information. If that's what in fact,
I would want to know. God, there's nuclear wasts out there,

(02:15:28):
at least our government officials have the wherewithought to send
up a bunch of drone that can scan for nuclear
ways then look for it. I mean, where's the downside
in giving us that information?

Speaker 11 (02:15:40):
Yeah, you know, I think there's a fine line, Brian,
because you know, I think both of us would agree
it's okay for the government to have secrets. You know,
there's been crazy things that happened in America that we
didn't learn about for decades, Like you know, a they
accidentally dropped a nuclear bomb once, you know, and it
wasn't armed, but they had to you know, they had

(02:16:02):
to spend some time looking for it because they didn't
have drones to search around. But you still get a
huge level of comfort and you dispell a lot of
the hysteria when you say, these are our drones, we're
doing operations, and we don't believe you.

Speaker 8 (02:16:18):
Know that there's a tremendous danger to the public.

Speaker 11 (02:16:20):
It's that's a huge difference from you're probably seeing the
planet Venus, which is particularly bright in the sky, you know,
and satellite people are you know, they know, even if
they're not aerial experts, they understand. Drones don't move like airplanes.

Speaker 2 (02:16:36):
You know.

Speaker 8 (02:16:36):
They tend to.

Speaker 11 (02:16:37):
Hover a lot, they make tight turns, they loiter. Planes
tend to drive around and fly around and go to
an airport somewhere.

Speaker 8 (02:16:46):
Right, So.

Speaker 11 (02:16:49):
There's a way to not tell us exactly what's going on,
but to tell us these are ours and we're doing things.
Or even call it a drill. You know, that's a
government tax pick. Call live things a drill, but that's
still a lot better than saying you don't know what
you're saying.

Speaker 1 (02:17:07):
Well, someone who shared a fellow jaded and cynical traveler
Colin and Dine from Breitbart. He is the bright Bart
Tech editor. Colin, thanks for the time and a couple
of yucks here this morning on a very important topic
here in the fifty five Krssey Morning Show. I always
enjoy my segment with Breitbart, and I'm looking forward to
next Tuesday for another one. If you and I don't talk,
whatever holiday you're celebrating, I hope it's a fantastic one,

(02:17:29):
and I'll look forward to further conversations with you after
the beginning of the next year.

Speaker 8 (02:17:35):
Well, I'll be in Christmas.

Speaker 11 (02:17:36):

Information about it. A thirty on a Tuesday. It is
that time a week I always look forward to having a nice,
in depth conversation about some of the more problematic topics
in the world. It's time for the Daniel Davis Deep
Dive with retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. Welcome back, my friend.
Always a pleasure. I always look forward to this segment,
you know, so in a while, but I really do

(02:19:13):
can't wait to see what we do today. I know,
and you know, I was looking down at the topic lists.
I'm going, oh, geez, you know, I mean, the world's
fallen apart, and that's what you and I talk about
from a military standpoint, and I certainly appreciate your insight
in this regard. But it was just yesterday my son
brought over a video of this intense explosion in the

(02:19:34):
Tartis region. Apparently the Israelis dropped a bunch of bombs
and it looked like and my son and the immediate
rumors on the internet were swirling that looked like maybe
a small nuke had gone off. And when you're talking
about World War three, start now. The Russians, of course
have nukes. We know the Israelis do. We know the
Iranians probably do or in any event, then I see

(02:19:58):
your headline with this putin the West pushing us to
our red lines, and when you're dealing with a nuclear power,
that red line certainly could potentially involve nuclear weapons. So
I am very interested in hearing what you have to
say about this one. Yeah, it's there.

Speaker 4 (02:20:17):
Was interesting because there was almost dueling statements made by
Trump and Putin at nearly the same time yesterday, both
kind of laying out their positions, and you know, Putin
is for his side, was saying, hey, you know, I
just don't get why you guys don't believe us and
you keep pushing towards our red lines. He's talking about
the continued use by the Biden administration of these long

(02:20:38):
range weapons inside of Russia two hundred kilometers deep inside. Trump,
for his side, also made reference to the same thing,
and he said, I don't think it's a good idea,
and I think.

Speaker 1 (02:20:48):
We need to stop.

Speaker 4 (02:20:50):
And it's it's actually encouraging from a certain perspective that
you have both leaders talking about the same thing, because
they both want to get this thing over with different reasons.
And I say, I don't care what their reasons are.
As long as we end this war and return to
some sort of stability in Europe, that's good for America.

Speaker 1 (02:21:06):
All right, let me tap your sort of political analysis
on this, which seems to be what this is. You
and I have been over this before. Those whatever those
missiles are called atcams or the longer range ones, which
you and I agree and everybody in the NO agrees,
requires some United States military high level sir authority approval

(02:21:31):
to help use or otherwise operate and fire them. So
we've got boots on the ground inside Ukraine launching missiles
into Russia. That all sounds bad. We know they're not
going to accomplish much. You've already talked about how they
can be shot down by Russia's version of the drone system,
and they have. They come at an amazing cost. They're

(02:21:54):
millions and millions of dollars of pop. This isn't like
throwing a drone is something. So with all that in mind,
what in the hell is Biden trying to accomplish by
even allowing them to be used or having our people
operate them?

Speaker 4 (02:22:08):
You know, honestly, it's all we're left with his speculation
because the Biden administration officially just says this is to
help Ukraine defend itself, you know, that blanket they've been
using on stuff forever, which means nothing and doesn't really
answer the question.

Speaker 1 (02:22:22):
Okay, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 4 (02:22:23):
They'd want to defend themselves, but why this particular and
why this particular time win. It doesn't gonna it will
not cannot change the outcome of the war itself, but
can possibly expand it and escalate it.

Speaker 1 (02:22:37):
There's no good answer.

Speaker 4 (02:22:38):
I mean, some of the things are that they want
to maybe tie, they want it to escalate.

Speaker 1 (02:22:43):
They want Russia to react in.

Speaker 4 (02:22:46):
A strong way so that the war expands and then
Trump can't come in on twenty January, and it seeks
some kind of negotiated settlement end the conflict. You know,
I think that there's still some people and this is
hard to believe in the Body administration, and I know
this for a fact, actually still have a fantasy that
the war can be won if only they get more time,

(02:23:06):
a little bit more money, some more ammunition, et cetera.
And I can assure you from a military perspective, there
is exactly zero chance of that happening. All it's going
to do is increase the cost in personnel, blood and
treasure for the Ukraine side to lose because it's already
baked in the war.

Speaker 1 (02:23:23):
His concluded, well, and I just to pivot away. Still
same war, same conflict that I don't know if you
had seamless whether there's any credibility to it. Because we
talked before about North Korea sending some troops there, and
in your estimation, they were there to get some you know,
on the ground, real training, to the extent they end
up with a shooting war with South Korea or something

(02:23:45):
because most of their military has not been engaged and
engaged in actual combat. But that the North Koreans that
were there actually ended up firing upon and taking out
some of the Russian troops. I hate to have to
laugh at that, but I don't know if you saw that,
or whether any credibility to that reporting.

Speaker 4 (02:24:02):
You know, you just have to take everything with a
grain of salt, because especially in this war, there's so
much intentional misinformation where various sides change things, they publish
one video and claim it's something different, or even some
things are doctored and manufactured in ai type of deal.

Speaker 1 (02:24:21):
Whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:24:21):
I'll just tell you that it's very conceivable. It could
be absolutely true as talked about. That it could also
be misinformation by somebody on the Ukraine side who wants
to just cast dispersions whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:24:34):
Honestly, either way, it makes no difference.

Speaker 4 (02:24:36):
Because there's such small numbers that we're talking about here,
it's not going to be either help.

Speaker 1 (02:24:40):
Russia or hurt Russia.

Speaker 4 (02:24:42):
That's why I think that the most likely scenario is
that the North Korea wants to gain experience for instroups.

Speaker 1 (02:24:49):
Because it's not.

Speaker 4 (02:24:50):
In fact, it's actually being inconvenient for Russia because they
have this language problem. They have somebody who doesn't have
combat experience, it's difficult to do command and control so
it's a headache for the Russian side. It's not a help.

Speaker 1 (02:25:03):
Yeah, it's not a good opportunity for a journeyman apprentice
program basically, no, right, yeah, yeah, you might want to
rethink that program. Now. Is this use of these missiles
and our provision of these missiles and our operation of
these missiles in Russia and the concern we have is
that these self defeating arrogance that you wanted to talk about,
or is this are we pivoting over to something else?

Speaker 8 (02:25:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:25:25):
That was something else.

Speaker 4 (02:25:27):
That was That was because of a magazine, Foreign Affairs,
what has been the premiere foreign policy magazine in America
for decades. Mitch McConnell published this piece in there that said,
basically that all of the world's problems are we don't
have anything to do with them. They are all these
bad guys in China, in North Korea and Iran, and

(02:25:49):
certainly in Russia and and you know, in the Middle
East a bunch of.

Speaker 1 (02:25:53):
Bunch of pizza.

Speaker 4 (02:25:53):
All these bad things that are happening are all just
because we're too weak.

Speaker 1 (02:25:57):
We need to spend.

Speaker 4 (02:25:59):
Not just a lot more on defense, when you spend
a lot more, and we need to forget about diplomacy.

Speaker 1 (02:26:04):
We need to go with hard power, et cetera.

Speaker 4 (02:26:06):
And I just just took that apart and said, this
promisey first, and this diplomacy free foreign policy has.

Speaker 1 (02:26:13):
Been an absolute disaster for America.

Speaker 4 (02:26:15):
That has cost us in Iraq, Afghanistan, in Syria. It's
been a disaster in Syria and Libya, et cetera, Africa,
you name it. Everywhere we've tried this, it has been
disastrous results and it is time to jettison that. But
these guys want to double down on it, and I
think it's a terrible idea.

Speaker 1 (02:26:34):
Well, you know, if they want to double down on it,
as we've talked many times before and others have observed,
you better damn well have an endgame. You better dam
will have a strategy. Why would you want to enter
any given situation in conflict or war. You better know
how to get from point A to point Z and
what point Z is, and that point Z is a

(02:26:56):
good place to be, and that you've got an effective
strategy to get there. It always seems to me we're
in these ready fire aim situations or it's just like
will we go in and we're like, wait a second,
why are we here again?

Speaker 4 (02:27:10):
Well, listen, I'll tell you what worries me is that
there may be an objective and it may be cash,
because that is the one thing that you're right.

Speaker 1 (02:27:18):
It is strategy free.

Speaker 4 (02:27:19):
It doesn't say here will be the outcome, here is
the method to get there, here's here's the means of
getting it done. So you have an en state, a means,
and a path to get there, none of that except
that it all goes down to we need more defense
money and a lot more.

Speaker 1 (02:27:36):
I mean, he emphasized a lot more, nine hundred.

Speaker 4 (02:27:38):
Billion dollars, way more than what is it like the
next ten nations in a row, And he's saying that's
not enough, and I'm saying, look, don't be stupid, because
you're saying, we want to do things that have been
demonstrably failed more. And then somehow he thinks that's going
to end up with which he doesn't explain how it's

(02:27:59):
gonna end up better for the United States, but that's
what he's claiming. And that's that's why I'm so aggravated
about it, because guys who serve in uniform like I did,
are the bill payers for this, and that's one of
the things I pointed out in that show there, that
there have been tens of thousands of Americans killed and
wounded in these absurd wars that most of which didn't
even need to be fought.

Speaker 1 (02:28:17):
Hundreds of thousands.

Speaker 4 (02:28:18):
More killed in Moody six trillion that we fought in
all these insurgent wars, you know, since the mid two thousands,
and no talk about any of the cost to us
for these failed policies.

Speaker 1 (02:28:29):
But I am, well, I'm glad you do, and I
share your concern on that. And I tell you what,
as a starting point, if we're gonna go down Minch
McConnell's path, how about we start with a Pentagon and
a defense spending that can pass an audit. Can we
just start there? Can I give you an amen on
that one?

Speaker 4 (02:28:49):
Yes, Daniel Davis, that's a good place to start. If
you can't even tell me how you're using nine hundred billion.

Speaker 1 (02:28:55):
And now you want another one hundred billion, I mean,
come on, man, As my dad used to say, I
got two words for you, and they eate. Happy birthday,
Daniel Davis, deep dive always a pleasure, my friend. We'll
talk next to Actually, we will see you next time. Yeah,
