Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are blazing so brightly, smoke gracing so far NASA's satellites
can see them one million miles away in space.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
He actually said that not recently. Oh, that was one
of the other wildfires that California's experience over the past
couple of decades. All right, thanks Joe Strecker, Executive producer. Uh,
putting a smile on my face early this Friday or

(00:31):
this Tuesday morning, and happy Tuesday to Tuesday means one
thing for sure, actually two things for sure, and look
for sure it's on this rundown. This morning, brightbart News
Inside Scoop got editor at Large Rebecca man Sore. She
is in Los Angeles laying witness to the devastation brought
about by the incompetence of the various leaders in California.
We will talk about the incompetence of California leaders. That's

(00:54):
our topic this morning with Rebecca at eight oh five
Inside Scoop, followed as always by the Daniel Davis Deep
and we'll get the latest on Russia and Ukraine. Apparently,
our State Department officials are admitting that Russia is well
gaining the advantage over Ukraine, while Ukraine says it's willing
to send one hundred and fifty firefighters to help California

(01:16):
fight the firefighters. Does it make any sense to anybody?
We give them billions of dollars and weapons and aid
and assistance to help fight against the Russians, and they're
willing to send one hundred and fifty of their firefighters.

(01:36):
Experienced they may be, but it just seems sort of
odd out of all the countries in the world to
send firefighters to help California out. And I think, you know,
why not take all we can get Ukraine halfway around
the world. Anyway, you go ahead and make sense of

(01:58):
it if you can. Three eight hundred and eighty two
to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T Funds.
The only iver got guests, got full line of guests
in the eight o'clock hour eight to fifty, asked the
expert today with my friends the cancer specialist OHC, today
we will talk about cervical cancer because it's Cervical Cancer
Awareness Month. Cervical cancer brought largely about by my recollection

(02:20):
of the facts is correct, HPV. HPV is blanking everywhere
every time I talked to the doctors about cervical cancer.
And we have, of course talked about that in the
past human papalomavirus. There is a vaccine for that. Young
people should take it. I used to be sort of

(02:41):
against the idea because it was designed to prevent cervical
cancer and you contract HPV through sexual intercourse. When you
think about some young girl, I think that's available for
guys now too. You think about some of your young girl,
you know, your eight year old daughter or something, and
you're like, you're giving her a vaccine to prevent her
from getting a sexually transmitted to in order to prevent
cervical cancer from cropping up down the road. Yeah, why

(03:05):
because it's literally everywhere they say, like half the population
as HPV is some sort. So we'll get to actual
details and instead of my perhaps in aid usings and
ramblings this morning about my recollection of the facts on
cervical cancer, we'll do that at eight fifty with one
of the great doctors from OHC, my cancer doctions. In fact,

(03:28):
I'm seeing my cancer doctor today. You get an idea
of whether or not I'm going to go through another
treatment protocol for those keeping track at home, and I
certainly appreciate I appreciate all the well wishes and thoughts
and prayers people have passed along. And again, I'm not
looking for sympathy. I'm only using my experience with cancer
just as an awareness razor, which is why I love
having OHC on to talk about such things. Anyhow, lots

(03:51):
of warnings coming out, and I don't know why I'm
starting here, but got to start someplace. But frightening stuff
going on, given that FBI Director Christopher Ray is walking
out the door. He was on sixty Minutes the other
day warning us again he believes the Chinese Communist Party

(04:13):
is the greatest threat to the United States, saying on
sixty Minutes, quote, well, the greatest long term threat facing
our country, in my view, is represented by the People's
Republic of China, the Chinese government, which I consider to
be the defining threat of our generation. He's done this
before over the past quite a few years. He's been
stressing that the CCP has been working on its ability

(04:35):
to take out our infrastructure. Of course, we all know
by now, at least I hope you know that the
Chinese hacking program is larger and more significant than any
other nation including ours. Quote, China cyber program is by
far and away the world's largest, bigger than that of
every major nation combined, and has stolen more of Americans

(04:57):
personal and corporate data than that of ever nation big
or small combined. Also pointed out in The Scary Stuff
that these Chinese what were described as Malian actors have
been prepositioning on American civilian critical infrastructure in order to
in his words, lie in weight on those networks to
be in a position to wreak havoc and can inflict

(05:19):
real world harm and a time and place that they're choosing,
most recently Salt typhoon. We all got the warning about that,
which is a virus I guess, I guess sort of
computer virus, a hack that's worked its way into US
telecommunication companies, warning prompting federal officials to warn us not

(05:41):
to use MS wells. You know, elected officials don't use
unencrypted messaging platforms. Dave Hatter on Friday Tech Friday has
been telling us for a long time about that signal
I believe is the way you're supposed to communicate and
end encryption, And as he has pointed out previously, the
federal government didn't want anybody to use fully encrypted message
and platforming because while they can't get into it themselves,

(06:04):
they have crimes to solve. And of course, even with
a warrant, you can't break the code when it's encrypted. Anyway,
when Ray was asked about whether the Chinese Communist party
Link groups had placed malware inside US critical infrastructure, he said,
that's correct, things like water treatment plants. We're talking about

(06:24):
transportation systems. We're talking about targeting of our energy sector,
the electric grid, natural gas pipelines, and recently we've seen
targeting of our telecommunication system. Let that sink in it's

(06:45):
it's essentially flipping a switch and shutting down all of that.
Can you imagine the cast that would ensue In the
electric grid is completely shut down, you can't get natural
gas in your home. It would be absolute mayhem in

(07:05):
a matter of a few days, especially in large, densely
populated areas. I think about this every time I hear
some left winger ramble on about the beauty of the
fifteen minute city where everybody lives on top of each other,
and you're walking communities and taking public transportation, Well, you

(07:26):
have no freedom to travel. They've taken your car away.
At that point, you can't get out, and if nobody
is bringing the food into the neighborhood and the lights
are off, you've got well the potential for mass starvation.
And I suppose that the grid is shut down, water
probably won't flow either, because last time I checked, the
water system requires pumps that are run by Oh, that's right, electricity.

(07:51):
I mean water is essential to life. Let me state
the obvious. I think human being can only go a
few days without water. I mean, you could go a
long time with that food, but you don't have water,
you are going to die. And can you imagine on
the sin of the second day without water flowing of
one of these beautiful, magical walking cities where everyone's piled

(08:12):
up on top of each other, what it would look
like and it could happen. Chinese Communist Party decides that
once to invade Taiwan, we choose rightfully or wrongfully to
defend Taiwan. Well, let's just flip that switch. I think
they'll have a little bit more to deal with them

(08:33):
over in the United States than worrying about us the
e pesky Chinese and our invasion plans to reunify Taiwan
with China. Can you imagine I look at it this way,
put in real world context, Los Angeles as it exists
right now, in the chaos that's ensuing, there probably a

(08:54):
lot worse than that in every major American city across
the entire United States. And if they've embedded themselves that
much into our infrastructure, that's how bad it would be.
And meanwhile, much like the failure in California to deal

(09:21):
and get ahead of whether it's man made, climate induced
or not, the problems related to the climate, rather than
get ahead of that and do all of the things
that they claimed on paper they were going to do,
the billions of dollars that were allocated for fire breaks
and brush clearing out and all those projects that ultimately
got held up in the name of well the environment

(09:46):
flipping over to the federal government, and the outrageous amounts
of money that the federal government spends on random things
that have nothing to do with our preparedness. You know,
if the Chinese flipped the the switch, as I'm calling it,
and this chaos ensues, I mean, I can see all

(10:06):
the fingers being pointed right now, can't you. How come
we didn't get ahead of this? How come we weren't
on top of it? How is it possible that they
were able to do this. They knew about this for long.
FBI Director Ray, before he walked out of the office
warned us about it, and he'd been warning about it
for years and years and years. I don't know what's
going on behind the scenes to ferret out this type
of behavior, but this is like all hands on deck

(10:27):
approach that needs to be taken with regard to the
infrastructure of our country. Meanwhile, FBI and the Department of Health,
Department of Homeland Security issued a warning maybe lesser of
a problem, perhaps in the Chinese Communist Party flipping the switch,
worry about the possibility of copycat or retaliatory tax. After

(10:49):
the ranning rampage in New Orleans Year's Day killing fourteen
that Sam Sudding Jabbar miserable piece of excrement that drove
through the crowd also had bombs. Report I read he
had used what has described as powerful RDX compound. These

(11:10):
bombs that didn't blow off, It didn't detonate. They say,
I could have killed or wounded hundreds of people. He
used the wrong device to try to detonate the bombs
that were located in a couple of coolers one guy,
one random dude, And going back to the infrastructure, we
have copycat folks, people you know, out in California. Again,

(11:33):
we have folks starting fires out there. Now, what would
want motivate one to want to start a fire out
in California given what's going on, Well, maybe someone who
just doesn't like us. Maybe someone who wants to further
disrupt the machinery of capitalism to the extent that exists
in a form in California. Maybe just any one of

(11:54):
the given adversaries that have crossed the southern border could
be members of the Chinese Communist Park. We got a
lot of military aged Chinese men coming into the country.
Could be someone, oh, I don't know, Islamic fundamentalists perhaps,
or even huh, some right winging extremists, which the federal
government seems to think is the biggest problem that exists

(12:16):
in our country. No, apparently it's not. Anyway, the statement
the FBIDHS are concerned about the possible copycator retaliatory attacks
due to the persistent appeal of vehicle ramming as attacking
for aspiring violent extremist attackers, previous attackers inspired by foreign

(12:36):
terrorist organizations who also may be an inspiration to start
more fires out in the parched California area, any given
area in California that's struggling with being parched. Foreign terrorist
organizations who conducted vehicle attacks in the United States and
abroad have used rented, stolen, and personally owned vehicles, which

(12:59):
are easy to acquire. Targets have included pedestrians, law enforcement
or military members, crowded public venues, including festivities or festivals
rather than commercial centers, which generally are accessible to roadways.
And in the context of this announcement, they point out
that the inauguration of President Trump is coming up next week,
where there will be throngs of people gathered. Are they

(13:20):
going to be prepared for that or we're going to
look back on the inauguration as one of those missed
opportunities where law enforcement, oh and perhaps was negligent, much
in the same way we have all the revelations that
came out about the Secret Service in the aftermath of
the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. These are real time threats, folks.

(13:45):
These are going on right now. The Chinese Communist Party
has actually invaded our infrastructure. Just want to know if
anybody is actually doing anything about it five nineteen fifty

me a call. I'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
In this week's Marketers Report, we don't time for the
Channel nine first onenty weather forecast. Chance of middays now today.
If you slick spots possible on the roads, be careful.
High have twenty five overnight clear four four degrees sunshine

(14:29):
Tomorrow high have twenty overnight down to eleven with a
few clouds and cloudy early on Thursday. Clear later in
the day with a high of thirty six. It's gonna
seem balmy about five degrees right now. If the five
KARCD talk station about twenty three at five k SE
dot com for podcast if you can't listen, why we

(14:51):
had return to Stephanie Perucci the similarities between the Hawaii
fires and la fires. She wrote a couple of books
about the Lahina fire. She's can I I don't know
if I can call a conspiracy theorist. I really am
not personally of the mind of belief that the government
can manipulate the weather. Now I know about cloud seating,
but she's more of the mind that you know, you

(15:13):
can they some kind of technology that can cause fires
to erupt or something like that. Anyway, beyond that, going
back to these livable cities, I mean, her position and
belief is Lahaina burn to the ground so that they
could reform the city in whatever the powers that be's
own image for seas, which is, you know, little tiny

(15:35):
houses that have been held by families for generations stand
in the way of some what they proceed to be progress.
And the only way you can get rid of those
people is by burning the whole thing to the ground
and starting over. Which there is some you know, observable
truth to that, whether or not the fires were intentionally started.
When your whole city burns to the ground, you have
a clean slate, a fresh palate. And of course, with

(15:59):
the government rules and regulations, edicts and mandates and all
the environmental stuff in the name of global warming in place,
you certainly can remake an entire city. So popcorn out
and what happens to the Los Angeles down the road,
I do observe or did observe and mention it to
her about Governor knws some you know, sort of executive

(16:22):
ordering out of existence in terms of rebuilding Los Angeles,
the variety of environmental rules that are in place that
have stood in the way of development and building housing
in a well city that struggles to find affordable housing
for literally anybody. And I suppose one has to imagine
the Pacific Palisades, where the average house is three and

(16:42):
a half million dollars. It's gone now, the whole thing's gone.
The land is still quite valuable. But I read a
number of articles that observe that so many people are
uninsured or incapable of rebuilding that they'll probably just sell
the land and move on. And when your land is
up for sale and it's sold, question mark, who's going
to be buying it and how and what type of

(17:07):
rebuilding will go on it. It was I mean, you're done,
You're out of space. There is no more room prior
to the fires to build there, which just forces the
price of homes and land to go up even further
every year. So interesting parallels can be drawn. Check out
the podcast at five carecy dot com. Also talk with
Brian James Money Monday, and of course the Smither event.

(17:31):
Really enjoy having Christopher Smith went on the program. I
hope you enjoy that too. Snowplows out of commission. We
got some local stories that talk about coming up next. First, Yes, insulation,
no brainer. It's the right thing to do. Insulate your home,
enjoy the better comfort and energy savings. Energy savings. Obviously,
with the price of energy going up and up and up,

(17:51):
you think it's ever going to go down. Well, the
price of groceries ever go down. Probably not. So you're
facing an ever increasing energy bill, and there's a multitude
of reasons that it goes up. But how about cutting
it by just insulating your home and making yourself and
your life more comfortable inside your home and extending the
life of your HVAC system because it isn't going to

(18:13):
have to fight the uphill battle older homes, you know,
post mid seventies and pre mid seventies homes, but no insulation.
Could all use the benefit of USA's Premium phone, highestar
value in the market, made right here in the state
of Ohio, and it's only ninety nine dollars a month
interest free, and a lot of my listeners have taken
my advice got in the free inspection and free quote

(18:33):
had their homes insulated. I've got a lot of emails
back regretting that it wasn't done sooner. Gee, I wish
I had done this sooner. Why. Well, because you're saving
a heapload of money on your energy doing your house
feels better. Plus you're going to still qualify for an
energy tax credit. They've extended that out, I don't know
for another decade or something. So next year when you're
doing your taxes for this year, a twelve hundred dollars

(18:55):
energy tax credit. All right, reasons to get USA's premium phone.

Part of Christopher smith The Smith event was regarding snow
removal and preparedness, going back to wider and broader concepts
of preparedness. Wh it's Los Angeles or the federal government
and the Chinese communist parties infiltrating our systems, going to

(20:06):
local preparedness, which Christopher Smithman had to go out. He
did not, in any way, shape or form, fault the
snowplowed drivers. He only faulted the administration for not apparently
being in this situation in being able to clear the roads.
I think the west side was neglected, and of course
we all read the stories about Mount Adams not being cleared,
and now we learned the Sinsini Department of Public Services.

(20:27):
Thank you uwcpo's Sam harrassed them wits for reporting since that,
council member Mark Jeffries to the DPS workers and their
vehicles took a heavy workload. According to Jefferies quote, the
folks are rightfully kind of tired because they've been working
like crazy. Court to the City of Cincinnati workers around

(20:48):
twelve hour ships. The equipment ran twenty four to seven
co A worker gets out of the truck, somebody else
gets in it, and the truck goes back out on
the road. Jeffrey said that one quarter of the DPS
trucks are now out of service after that heavy workload.
Several days, city spokesperson told WCPO that has a Monday,

(21:09):
twenty of the eighty trucks are out of commission after
the winter storm. Jefferies pointed out they're going thirty thousand
miles in rough conditions. He said these trucks either need
repairs or full replacement, partially because some of the vehicles
parts aren't made anymore. Jeffery said he and his fellow
elected officials should look at what funding is needed to

(21:31):
ensure the fleet is fully equipped. You think, he said,
for us as accountseil and we need to, you know,
look at that and ask are there ones that need
to be replunted and do we need to replenish. When
Jefferson was asked what kind of solutions he liked to
put forward, so this is the first I do we
need to look at our capital to see that we
need to buy newer trucks, you know, if several of

(21:53):
them are breaking down, to make sure that we've got
the equipment needed to do the job. His quote not
my stumble. He was referring to the city's capital budget
when he reference capital, which is going to be worked
on ahead of the summer when the fiscal year begins.
According to WCPO, last week, they reported the amount of
time it took to plow the smaller congested areas amount adams.

(22:16):
Jeffrey said he takes specific equipment, and it takes specific
equipment and requires a different approach, noting that the smaller
side streets you need to obviously deploy different types of
fleet in order to manage that. He said he met
with DPS over the weekend to learn more about their
needs and to make sure that he showed his gratitude

(22:36):
to the men and women have been taking care of
the roads during the storms well At least they've acknowledged
the problem. Question, will they get ahead of it and
actually do something about it or pursue some other bright
and shiny object that they can talk about. The first
replacement garters for the construction of the rebuilding of the
Big mac Bridge Dan Beer Bridge have arrived, accord to

(22:57):
HIH Department of Transportation and announcement. Yesterday. They said, I
was carrying the large steel girders backed across the closed
southbound I for seventy one lanes at the construction site
to complete the delivery. Cruise unloaded the first girder yesterday
morning with a crane lifted into place and secured by
iron workers. According to O, two more girders arrived in
the afternoon, two others going to arrive today with a
total of seven delivered at the site. They said additional

(23:20):
reinforcing steel will arrive at the site on Thursday and
we go to Florence, Kentucky offices in Florence saved a
woman who fell into freezing water on Sunday while trying
to retrieve her dog. Florence Police departments that officer were
called to the lake behind Rio Grand Circle about six

(23:41):
thirty in the afternoon and the evening rather for a
woman who fell through the ice into the water about
one hundred feet from the shore. Florence Police Captain Greg
ray Camp said, fortunately she lived in the area where
neighbors were able to hear her screens. If you're in
a situation by herself, when you walk onto a pond,
you go through the ice like that and fall in
the water, it's going to be very difficult to survive,

(24:04):
he said. The woman went down to the ice to
get her dog, which would run into the middle of
the pond. She was in the water for ten minutes
before first responders rescued her. Ray Camp said, the officers
were able to scoot out on the ice, able to
reach her, and we're able to pold her above water.
Eventually they were able to go out and pull her
back to shore. She was taking a UC Medical Center
for hypothermia symptoms. She and her dog now at home recovering.

(24:25):
I know you were thinking about the dog, as was eyes.
I was reading the story. I said, I don't know
if I've ever dealt with a situation like this. Chief
Raycam said, it was pretty amazing the officers were able
to go out and make that recovery like that very
very dangerous anytime you go out into ice, especially when
it's starting to melt. Five point thirty five right now

for my kind friends at Chimney Care Fireplace and Stove,
Safety and comforts, what it's all about. I always like
to mention in the showroom, located a four thirteen Wards
Corner Road, has an amazing selection of fireplace inserts, both
wood and gas. I've got the gas and I'd love

(25:08):
that fireplace insert a guy from Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove.
And the reason I had to get is because the
inspection revealed my old builder special insert was a fire hazard,
a danger. That's the importance of thinking about your safety
for your home. So you call the Chimney Care Fireplace
in stove whether you have a gas or a wood burner.
Wood burner's most notably because of the kreosod build up
that can accumulate and burn your house down. Maybe I

(25:31):
know that chimney fires do happen. Linings get cracked, they
do everything related to chimneys, including relining, cap and damper replacement.
They do tuckpointing. They'll build you a brand new chimney
and fireplace if you want. They do great work. I
mean these are highly trained folks with all the skills
necessary to handle every aspect. And they will clean your
dryer vent out, so get that done too, save you

(25:52):

Come up on five forty one fifty five car c
DE talk station of Very Happy Tuesday t You'm going
to jump into the stack of stupid here this morning.
Sand's phone calls, which we are, so let's do it.
Go to Florida from the idiots doing idiot things because
they're idiot files. We got a Florida police officer who
was watching pornography on his phone when he slammed his

(27:39):
patrol car into a vehicle stopped ahead of him. That
according to an internal afairs report accusing the deputy of initially
lying about the accident one forty five in the afternoon
crash accard a couple of months ago at Lake County intersection,
prompting the cop to resign his post. While the Office

(27:59):
of Professional Standards was doing its review, twenty eight year
old Tristan Macomber initially offered a variety of explanations for
distracted driving fame, claiming they have been on the phone
with another officer at the time of the crash. Then
he contended these squad car had mechanical issues. Then he
ended up claiming that he'd been exchanging texts with fellow officers. However,

(28:21):
investigator's review dash cam and body warren footage that contradicted
his story. Video recorded the cruiser's steering wheel air bag
deploying at the Macomber and Macomber telling sixty three year
old female motorists Toyota coroller he hit quote my brakes
locked up close. Quote. Florida Highway Patrol prepared at the
time of the November six crash stated that macomber was

(28:43):
inattentive and drove in a careless or negligent manner. Estimated
damage of the police tickle ten thousand dollars. Damages to
the toyota he hit five thousand dollars. He eventually admitted
that he was on his phone quote looking at inappropriate
pictures quote which he further described as, in his words,

(29:04):
pornographic material like boobs or whatnot, idiots doing idiot things
because they're idiots. Investigator Adam Commerce stated he was looking
at images that contained nudity. As for why he said
his car head defective analog break system, he admitted that
the claim was more of a deflection than a genuine
reason for the vehicle crash. What mean and his hesitancy

(29:31):
to admit he was watching porn was lying by omission.
Initial affairs report found that he was in violation of
several professional standards, including departure from the truth and also
the prohibited use of an electronic advice don't do that.

(29:52):
Florida man threatened to kill somebody quote with kindness close
quote later hutting a man with a machete with the
word kindness written on the blade. What thirty year old
Brian Stewart of Milton, overheard by neighbors telling a person
inside his home that he was going to kill him

(30:13):
with kindness. When a neighbor went to the home to
ask Stuart to keep down the noise, Stuart raised the
knife in the man's direction. According to the Principola News Journal,
second neighbor stepped in front of Stuart to protect the
first man and was cut by Stuart with the machete,
again with the word kindness written on it. Man suffered
a half inch cut in his head. Stewart, who police
they smelt of alcohol, was arrested in place in the

(30:35):
back of the troll car after kicking and banging his
head inside the vehicle. Stuart was stunned with a taser,
charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the
intent to kill, and aggravated battery before heading off to

(30:58):
drug rehab. On New Year's Eve, Octavia Wells allegedly decided
to score some narcotics for the road. Forty one year

she had forty five dollars to spend and wanted to
buy a couple of points of fentanyl, described as drugs

Octavia and arranged for the drug transaction. After Wells drove
to meet her dealer at Tom Thumb Convenience store in
Panama City, she was confronted, confronted by police and arrested.
Was at that time Wells realized that she had mistakenly
contacted a cop and not her dealer. Wells have been

(31:45):
texting with Steven Penijohn, an investigator with the Bay County
Sheriff's Officer known as p J. Wells had saved the
police officer's number under his initials in her phone after
a previous interaction not further described in the complaint. Interaction
with the Sheriff's Special Invasis Investigation Division, which handles drug
related probes, Wells told cops that Pettijohn's initials were similar

(32:09):
to her drug dealers, which caused the mix up. Cop noted,
Wells allowed me to look in her phone and I
confirm that the phone was the same one that she
was using to text investigator Pettijohn. Search of a vehicle
turned up a variety of drug paraphernalia, some which tested
positive for the presence of fentanyl. She was charged with
one felony two misdemeanors, booked into the county jail. Subsequently

gunshots coming from the direction of a house down the hill.

Speaking of fires to score the phones, who with CJ's
got this morning? CJ, thanks for calling in, Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 7 (41:07):
Good morning to you. And you were talking environmental policies yesterday,
and there's a couple environmental policies that have a direct
correlation to fires over the last ten to twenty years.
Number one, Eucalyptus trees have been an invasive species in
an issue in southern California for a long time. And
for those people out here who don't know how bad

(41:30):
they are, they're literal tending to a fire. They have
absolutely zero resistance to fire. And every time people want
to cut those things down in masks, you get environmentalists
who come in to protect this invasive species, and all
it does is it leads to a situation like that
happens in the Palace Hades area. The other issue that

(41:53):
is a direct correlation over the last thirty years is
cow farts. Everybody in the environmental could be unities all
up in arms over how calfarts are leading to environmental
catastrophes and global warming and YadA, YadA, YadA. But those
cows when California was the number one agricultural producing in

(42:14):
cal producing state, in the Union and pretty much the world,
they cut those fires down because they were out there
grazing those areas, like in that eating fire and the.

Speaker 8 (42:25):
Stuff they didn't eat.

Speaker 7 (42:26):
Those twelve hundred pound animals would basically crush a lot
of that dead timber, so that way, if it did
catch fire, it did not turn into a massive disaster.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
And the fact that.

Speaker 7 (42:37):
California has been so anti agricultural over the last thirty
to forty years, ever since Duken Agent left office, this
has been a continual problem up and down the state
and will continue to be until they realize that they
need to get back into a little bit of sanity
out there in the backcountry areas where all its own

(43:00):
is by the federal government. And by the way, President
Obama has a major issue with that too, because he
ended a lot of those federal leasing I'm crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Yeah, it's insanity, I mean absolute insanity. They all know
they have a problem. Governor Knews some promise to do
something about, you know, dealing with the brush that had
been accumulating, you know, putting fire breaks in and doing
all these types of things, only to be met with
litigation from environmental groups saying that you can't do that.
It's like you can't even set foot on federal land

(43:31):
to clear it out. That's in essence what they argue.
So they screamed climate change, climate change. They blamed climate
change for the accumulation of all this brush and matter,
and yet they won't allow anyone to go in and
clean it up to prevent a large catastrophe, a real
time happening right now, not one hundred years down the
road when New York City's going to be underwater or whatever,

(43:52):
but right blanking now, when people's lives are at stake
and their economy is in jeopardy. I mean, like I
said yesterday, it's either a Charlie foxtrot or a circular
pleasure fest. It's one of the two. But it's going
on real time, and it's been going on now for
years and years and years, and yes, lots of reports
about the denial of grazing on those lands, which, as

(44:13):
you accurately observe, would go a long way to naturally
cleaning out the area without without them to pay somebody
a salary to do it and feed the cows at
the same time. Oh but no, we can't do that.
That would contribute to methane production global warming. Ah, and
anybody who buys the cow flatulence is actually impacting the

(44:34):
temperature of the globe. I got a bridge. I want
to say. You know, that's all in the name of
those people who really really just have an aversion to
me eating meat. It's not just global warming, it's also
peta and folks of their ilk to Bobby's got this morning, Bobby,
thanks for calling. Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 9 (44:54):
Fay flag, family and firearms, my friend, if you hold those,
you'll always be able to keep your freedom.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
I believe that.

Speaker 9 (45:03):
I got some conflicting reporting I've heard, and I'd like
to try to clear some of it up if I can.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Well, to the extent I can help, let's have a
go at it. Well.

Speaker 9 (45:11):
On the Cincinnati snow removal, I think they're doing a
wonderful job. And I don't know why everyboys complaining because
I saw them out there with bruins and shovels on
the street car tracks. So they're doing a wonderful job.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Downtown, talk to somebody on the west side or up
in Mount Adams and see if they agree with you.

Speaker 9 (45:29):
Well, they just haven't made it there yet, but they're
there on their way. And the next thing is, you know,
the twenty if we got a celebration, you know, Donald
Jay's gonna get sworn in. You know, we've got the
NCAA Championships with the Buckeyes. But one thing I got
a question about, it's MLK Day. Is there any type
of celebrations they're having it the mall or anything in

(45:51):
Washington during that celebration this year.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
I had Interestingly enough, I haven't heard of anything. Probably,
I would go with probably, But yeah, it's amazing. I mean,
some things can get overshadowed by other events. I mean,
you know, I imagine that there's some folks out there
that would rather talk about filling the blank than the
California wildfires which are raging, which took the wind out
of the sales of any other news event that has happened. So, yes,

(46:16):
MLK Day Monday as well, but overshadowed by Trump being
sworn in again more than likely.

Speaker 9 (46:21):
Yeah, I got one more saying, and this is a
positive note. You know, all the people out California that
had the fire problems, They got a seven hundred and
seventy dollars FEMA check coming and also which will be
rainy seasons, so they don't need to worry about the
fires anymore. The wash out and the mud will be
flowing here within the next thirty to forty five days.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Yeah, I was waiting for the fill up. They do
have a landslide problem after these fires, so yes, that'll
be blamed also on climb and change, Bobby, because the
weather's going to change, rain will show up after it's
been gone for a while, and yes, the mud will slide.

Speaker 8 (46:57):
It.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Does anybody want to move to California anyway?

Speaker 9 (47:01):
I don't want to live next to the to towsucker.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
And then there's and then there's that. Yeah, okay, that's
the thing that's yeah, Bob, Bobby's list, Let me next
to a towsucker. It's reason number one to not want
to live in California. Nothing to do with taxes or
you know, your life being micromanaged by people behind the
scenes in government, or high price of real estate, et cetera,

(47:27):
et cetera, et cetera. It's toesuckers. Appreciated Bobby as always
put a smile on my face. Six thirteen. Let's see
what New Hampshire Gary's got this morning. Gary, welcome back
to the program. Good to hear from you. Good to
hear from you.

Speaker 8 (47:39):
Hey, I just got this from the fact checkers that
there were sixty fire trucks that were They were not
rejected for fighting the fires because of emission controls, but
they did knock them out. Knock these fire trucks coming
from other states, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington. They did sideline

(48:02):
them for a half half a day while they were
waiting for the fifteen minute safety check to get to
to allow them to operate inside California. And it just
shows you that the idiocy of all their regulations. Yeah,
they're holding up the works.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
I couldn't agree with you more. You have raging wildfires,
you have a usable truck. I mean, I guess one
question I would ask, does it actually pump water? Does
the truck work? I don't care about its emissions levels. Look,
Governor Newsom suspended all the environmental rules so people could
rebuild more quickly, not face litigation at every turn trying
to get their house rebuilt. Today, we're going to suspend

(48:43):
the environmental rules that require us to do an emissions
check on a fire truck because well, we're in desperate
need of fire trucks. It's okay, Well.

Speaker 8 (48:53):
It sounds according to fact check it wasn't because of
the emissions emissions, but it actually turned out to be
a safety check. But they still had to wait for
the inspectors to get there and certify all these trucks.
So there's a half to day just wasted for fire
departments that are fully functional in other states.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Is that a union rule or something? What what safety
implications could there be in connection with a fire truck?

Speaker 8 (49:23):
Well, I would assume that you would have to make
meat California's standard, which is probably you know, how many
gays do you have on the truck?

Speaker 2 (49:33):
I have no idea, right exactly? That's my point. Does
it work? I mean, does the engine fire up? If
you hook it up to a water source? Will it
pump water? Once those questions are answered, move on in
I don't know again safety check. That sounds like some
sort of union created rule in order to create jobs,
i e. Inspector jobs.

Speaker 8 (49:55):
Absolutely, you know I was a volunteer fire department. You
know I worked in Avolunteer fire Department. We always said,
put the wet stuff on the hot stuff and you'll
be okay.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
That's a way to summon it up.

(52:22):
Welcome to the show. Thanks for calling this morning. Yeah,
good morning.

Speaker 10 (52:25):
Do you remember so do you remember Jay Aronoff?

Speaker 11 (52:29):
Right?

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Sure?

Speaker 11 (52:30):
An, I'm sure right.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
I figured.

Speaker 12 (52:32):
Then you remember ron Esposito, the local kind of DJ guy.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Man, you're going back a few years, but yeah.

Speaker 8 (52:39):
Yeah, well I'm gonna make a point. And then do
you remember Chris Sarducer, the drummer for the Raisins.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
I remember the Raisins quite well. That I couldn't I
couldn't name any of the the guys in the band.

Speaker 8 (52:53):
So he was a drummer.

Speaker 10 (52:55):
And then Clyde Brown sang with the Dripters and sang
oh all over town, and I work with all these people.
But the point I'm making from yesterday's show what these
people have in common, and it's very sad that after
the so called they all died of massive heart attacks

(53:17):
within sixteen months of each other.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Oh no, is.

Speaker 8 (53:21):
That a coincidence? I mean, you tell me that that's
the hell of the coincidence, isn't it?

Speaker 12 (53:26):
Well?

Speaker 2 (53:26):
I that you name prominent people in the greater Cincinnati
area and that they all died within sixteen months of
each other, and the heart attack, I suppose every other
human being who died of a heart attack within that
period of time. I mean, there's the list is a
lot longer. So I don't know if you can draw
parallels there. Are you suggesting there is some sort of correlation.

Speaker 8 (53:44):
Suggact being killed them.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
I was waiting for you to put a point on there,
because you know, you just kind of left it hanging.
I deduced that that's where you were going.

Speaker 12 (53:57):
Well, yeah, but if you do the alternate research like yesterday.

Speaker 8 (54:02):
Enjoyed what the guy was saying. But the real founder
of I revect them with.

Speaker 12 (54:07):
Dr Vladimir's a Zinkl, who was an upstate New York
who was starting to deal with COVID before anybody, And
he did the research on I REBECTAM and discovered that
that in fact would would would would change the outcome.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Well, we all know, we all know what happened to
that message about that stuff.

Speaker 13 (54:30):
So I would just say, so I know that that
that seemed kill those guys.

Speaker 12 (54:35):
I don't care what anybody says.

Speaker 13 (54:37):
And another thing, I know that I get hired of
people saying that, like these people out in California are incompetent.
They're not incompetent. They're doing this on purpose. This is
deliverate acts, this is warfare, this is administrative murder. Do
you understand what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Well, I know it's easy to reach that conclusion. That's
a conclusion that Stephanie Perucci's reach in regard to the
Lahaina fire, And she was on the program yesterday drawing
parallels to the Los Angeles fires in that area. So
you're not alone in your conclusions in that regard. I'm
just a little bit less quick to come to that conclusion.
I like to wait till the dust settles and we

(55:17):
figure out and get more factual information, and gradually it
does ultimately come out. I mean pick any random conspiracy
theory that's floated around out the idea out there, like,
for example, ivermectin is not going to help you out.
And with COVID nineteen, if you mentioned ivermectin early in
or in twenty twenty or twenty twenty one, you were
laughed out of the room. Your message was deleted from

(55:38):
the social media networks that the government's behest and lo
and behold we find out yeah, well, actually it does help,
and the masks we're a colossal wasted time. I was
saying that back when mask mandates were going on, are
you going to tell me that you seriously believe that
a mask is going to work with a virus like that?
Drew analogy. I said, it's like picking up a handful
of sand and throwing it at a chain link fence.

(56:00):
Will the chain link fence stop some of the sand? Yeah,
we'll most of it go through, Of course it will.
But we were told that why And people are still
running around wearing masks to this very day. Go grocery
shopping over the weekend, and you scratch your head and
you kind of wonder, wait a second, are they still
that brainwashed? I know there's somebody out there listening right
now that's probably got a mask on in their own

(56:21):
home by themselves. You still see people driving around town
with a mask on their face while they're in their
car by themselves. I just scratch my head. And you know,
vast majority of the times the masks aren't even well fitting,
you know, to the extent a mask is going to
do any good. You know, it's got to made a
proper seal around the air supply. But it took a

(56:44):
while for all that to actually come out. Donald Trump
didn't urinate on prostitutes in Russia either, steal Dosia. They
made that up whole cloth, and it was sold as
factual information, bought and paid for by the Democrat Party.
But it's real, it's real. Oh, it's real. No, actually
it's not. At the time, though, the consistent information from

(57:09):
those in the mainstream media, coupled with the suppression of
alternative points of view on social media, which is the
only place you could get an alternative point of view,
well created the illusion, temporary as it was, that it
was in fact real. We get lied to constantly. I
haven't reached a conclusion yet with regard to the Lahina

(57:31):
fire or Los Angeles. Let's see what they propose. Let's
see what building restrictions come out of all this. Let's
see what the rebuilding efforts look like. Are they actually
going to allow these homeowners who have the means and
wherewithal to rebuild their large three and a half plus
million dollar homes in Pacific Palisades. If they start rebuilding
them the same way they did before, then we can

(57:53):
negate this idea that it was all intentional. And well,
watch them rebuild much in the same way they are
rebuilding in Florida right now, exact same kind of houses
in the exact same spots. And yes, there will be
another hurricane. I can say that with absolute certainty there

that have hit Florida. Six twenty six fifty five car

It was a yesterday the day before. Lots of work,
including the one hundred and fifty mile maintenance for the Hondas,
and of course Jerry my Son, who was the recipient
of the Honda As as Christmas present, I bore the burden
of having to pay the bill, but the bill is

(58:38):
a lot less than what it would have been had
he gone to the dealer. Also needed some suspension work,
there was a problem, a couple of broken parts, and
it's just they did a thorough inspection. That's why I
really appreciate those guys at Foreign Exchange. They're going to
and speaking of throw inspections. If your car is getting
ready to go out of warranty, what a great thing
to do to take it up to the experts at
Foreign Exchange for a full end to end so they

(58:58):
can identify things that need to be replaced under warranty
and then take it over the dealer and have them
do it for free. When the warranty expires, you go
to Foreign Exchange where the a S Certified Master technicians
will fix your car to your satisfaction. You will have
a full warranty on both parts and service, and you'll
have more money in your pocket than it had you
gone to the dealer. It's all about improving your bottom line.
How important is that especially these days? Austin and the

wherever you happen to be across the entire iHeart network
for that matter. Bobby mentioned earlier that they did keep

(01:01:11):
the streetcar lines clean. I think maybe that's the solution.
If we have streetcars on all of the roads, all
the roads will be plowed. Just a thought. As I
observe reported again by WCPO this morning yesterday or this morning,
they had a conversation with since at Counciler Mark Jeffries,

(01:01:31):
who has been in touch with in contact with the
Sin Sin Department of Public Services, who are responsible for
plowing the streets. They apparently took a beating, not just
the crews that were working on the streets, but the
specifically the trucks themselves and of the eighty trucks that
they have, twenty or now out of commission because they

(01:01:52):
were overworked and they don't have parts for some of them.
Jeffries told WCPO that the trucks either need repairs or
a full replacement, partially because some of the vehicle parts
aren't made. What do they have manufactured by Edsel trucks
out there or something Anyway, said he and his fellow
elected officials should look at what funding is needed to
ensure the fleet is fully equipped. Oh get ahead of

(01:02:13):
a problem, he said, for us as counsel, we need to,
you know, look at that and ask are there ones
that we need to replenish In terms of solutions he
was asked about, he said, I think we need to
do look at our capital need the capital budget to
see what we need to buy newer trucks. Several of
them are breaking down, and to make sure that we've

(01:02:34):
got the equipment needed to do the job. Capital budget
will be worked on ahead of summer when the fiscal
year begins. Last week, WCPO reported on the amount of
time it took to plow smaller congested areas of Mount Adams.
Jeffrey said that takes specific equipment and requires a different

(01:02:55):
approach given the smaller stide side streets. He said, you
obviously deployed different types of fleet in order to manage that.
I guess they don't have those anymore. It's like it
was nineteen seventy seven in January we had the record
snow and the Ohio River froze over. Did the streets
get plowed back then? Just asking for a friend including
Mount Adams. Joe is three years old, so he doesn't remember.

(01:03:20):
First round of the steel girders showed up yesterday for
the replacement of well the repairs of the Daniel Carter
Beard Bridge. You got more coming in today and some
steel will arrive on Thursday. So a high Department of
Transportation reporting to the project is moving along. So hopefully
that'll get done in a relatively short period of time
and keep our fingers crossed on that and finally officers

(01:03:41):
in Florence saved a woman who fell into freezing water.
It happened Sunday night as she was trying to retrieve
her dog. Thank God for the bravery of the Florence
the Police Department. They were called to a lake behind
Rio Grand Circle just about six thirty pm for a
woman who fell through the ice into the water one
hundred feet from the shore. According to Pl. Polas Captain
Greg Raycamp, fortunately she lived in an area of the

(01:04:03):
neighbors are able to hear her screams. He said. The
woman went out of the ice to get her dog,
which would run into the middle of the pond. She
was in the water for ten minutes before first responders
were able to rescue her. They did so by scooting
out on the ice to reach her. They were able
to hold her above water and eventually then pull her
back to shore. She was taking a UC medical center
for hypothermia symptoms, but fortunately she and her dog are

(01:04:25):
now at home recovering. So brave police officers first responders
to the rescue, and God bless each and every one
of them. Six thirty five right now fifty five Kers

No doubt that they have an A plus with the

submarine friend. Goodie from me this morning.

Speaker 11 (01:07:01):
Good morning Brian, Happy Tuesday, sir. Right back at you, brother, Hey,
my first opportunity to give you a shout out. A
couple observations in bullet points I got from watching. I
thought it was a very well done ceremony for President
Carner's funeral last week. That was actually my first presidential
election I was able to participate in and coming off
a watergate. Basically, any Washington outsider the Democrats out that

(01:07:24):
did a pretty good job there. Any Washington outsider with
the d next does names pretty much had an inside
track and I think his heart was in the right places.
But once again, just like our current resident in sixte
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. Policies just didn't work because he was
such an assault of the earth man. He it was
very well known. He was very uncomfortable and if he

(01:07:46):
had any saying it, he did not like hail to
the Chief play when he walked into a room to
a ceremony. So I couldn't help, but and I know
what military funerals are all about, and I know it's protocol,
but it just seemed ironic when the hearst pulled up
to the cathea going as a withdrew as casket, that's
what was played out to the chief. You know, probably
a little bit of a ride grid on his part.

(01:08:08):
I thought the eulojews were wonderful and that they were
given by President Ford and Vice President Mondale's sons hit
their actual words, and even Biden alluded also to how
he was a forefront of alternative energy. However, being a
submarine trained nuclear officer, I wish more that nuclear power
would be throughout our country instead of solar panels and windows.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
You and I on the same track on that one
all day long. Mic, I just don't understand, and you
know your point on that is probably the greatest point
that can be made about the safety of nuclear power,
because all of our ships at sea, the large ones,
the aircraft carriers, the submarines that you were on, and
the ones that have been around since the what sixties,
all empowered by nuclear fifties fifties all empowered by nuclear power, Yes, sir,

(01:08:53):
and without incident. I don't think there's not one. So
what's what's the problem mean? You know? I also like
to know what the nuclear reactor that's on one. Let's
just pick the largest an aircraft carrier. How many buildings
or how many homes could that one nuclear reactor power?

(01:09:13):
Obviously I'm not saying it's small, but it's small enough
that it fits inside of a ship. You know, it's
not three mile island that's powering that thing, right, which.

Speaker 11 (01:09:23):
Absolutely In fact, when I was on my submarine in
Parl Harbor, we had a catastrophe on Maui and there
were plans already getting ready to be enforced if PO
Line Electric couldn't get it back up.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
We had two.

Speaker 11 (01:09:34):
Submarines that were on their way that were going to
anchor out and those two submarines nuclear power plants were
going to provide power for that island.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
That's amazing to me. That right there is absolutely amazing.
So we've got the technology, we have our own men
and women in uniform operating them and working around them
for literally decades, and yet you and I can't have
them in our neighborhood because well, I don't know Three
Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima.

Speaker 11 (01:10:00):
This lobbying effort, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Yeah, I mean it really makes you wonder what the
nefarious actors are behind the scenes that refuse to allow it.
Is that the evil oil companies perhaps trying to save
their turf. Obviously the coal lobby wasn't successful. They've gone
the way of the DODO practically.

Speaker 11 (01:10:15):
So when everything you hear about these AI power sources
and these massive warehouses that are going to be required it,
nothing could do that better than nuclear power.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
And that's what they're pushing for. And I guarantee as
sure as I'm sitting here, because Alphabet and Meta and
the large AI building entities are asking for it and
are planning to put them in their infrastructure miniature power
plant nuclear power plants, and because of who they are,
I bet they get their way and that the approval
process will be streamlined, which may and keep your fingers crossed. Mic,

(01:10:48):
It's like some of the positive things that came out
of COVID nineteen. That may the fact that those big entities,
those huge players, with all their fat lobbying dollars and
their ability to manipulate the population and all those things
that govern either loves or aides, they're going to get
their way, which may pave the way for you and
I to get them ourselves. And we'll end this power
shortage night, Maren. We'll quit building windmill farms and solar

(01:11:10):
panel farms, oh, supporting the Chinese Communist Party, and of
course it's massive military expansion with that money. Good call,

Hey, thank you, Brian.

Speaker 8 (01:14:07):
Good to hear from you.

Speaker 14 (01:14:09):
And I got two points. Number one, I have family.
It's very well fall out there in California, Sacramento, LA.
During the southern part too. But man, they live in
a different world. They think, well, it ain't gonna happen
to me, and and God bless America there it is

(01:14:33):
happening to them. And they do it every year. You
hear about it every They won't clean up their backyard.
And then they expect us taxpayers that lives on the
eastern Kintucky, Ohio on the eastern side, for us to
pay bail them out every year, and they won't clean

(01:14:53):
up their backyard. And it's so simple. My my, my
uncle lives out there. I mean, nice place. You can't
even walk through the brush. I mean they they spend
all this money on these houses, but they won't clean up.
I have a five acre farm. I keep it cleaning
contact everybody keeps her stuck clean. They just won't do it.

(01:15:16):
They think somebody else should pay for it. That's their mentality.
I love them. They're good people, They're Americans, but they
it happens every year. Okay, next point, my next point,
and I'll be quick, right, Okay Trump. I can't wait
to him get it there. The illegals have to go.

(01:15:41):
I mean, my guinea pig come back home pregnant. Now
I got little guinea pigs running around. I thought they
hate it.

Speaker 8 (01:15:54):
Take care of that one.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
I'm not gonna just let that one sit. Appreciate the call.
Bill well. Also, the California folks have been told that
something will be done about it. Jerry Brown twenty eighteen
signed a one billion dollar bill is supposed to prevent
catastrophic wildfires and protect Californians. Where'd that money go? Twenty
nineteen report from Gavin Newsom Strike Force set over the

(01:16:17):
next five years, a state will commit over a billion
dollars for critical fuel reduction projects to support prescribe fire crews,
forest thinning, and other forest health projects. What happened? They didn't.
They cut one hundred and one million dollars out of
the budget for the fire department this year and twenty fourteen,

(01:16:38):
Californians approved the seven point five billion dollar water bond proposal,
nearly three billion of which was set aside to build
new reservoirs. Twenty fourteen. Fast forward one decade, not a
single new reservoir has been built. Where'd that money go?
So they're told and lulled into a sense of security
that the officials are actually doing something, doing a damn thing.

(01:17:02):
Who's next, Joseph Richard, Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks
for calling.

Speaker 15 (01:17:09):
Hey, Brian, I just wanted to go follow up on
two things that you said I'd mentioned earlier. One with
Davin Newsom. If you listen to his little press conference
that he had yesterday, he was talking about we have
a Marshall plan for rebuilding LA and it was going

(01:17:30):
to be LA two point zero. With the Olympics coming up,
they have no place to build the housing, but there
is a plan to put it in the Palisades area.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
I imagine if I was a property owner in the
Palisades area, I'd be a little interested in knowing how
much compensation I'm going to get if they're going to
put a public works project on my land. And welcome
to a massive, extraordinary expense, my friend.

Speaker 15 (01:18:05):
And it's amazing that they've already got a plan for
a Los Angeles two point zero. The other thing I
wanted to chis following up on the Mariner Mike's pull there.
I work at a company here in Cincinnati, but we're
owned by a company in Germany, and we're we're currently

(01:18:27):
losing our vice president. But he mentioned before he left
that Germany, and specifically our company in Germany, is now
paying close to six point five.

Speaker 12 (01:18:41):
Percent more.

Speaker 16 (01:18:45):
For energy than they were before.

Speaker 15 (01:18:49):
Well, yeah, because they got cut off by Russia and everything.
But the businesses that are in France are doing fine
because guess what, they have nuclear power.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Yeah. Yeah, Germany's cut its own throat. I mean, there's
no other way to describe it. They have global warming
belief themselves into becoming, you know, I won't say a
second world country, but they had the strongest economy in
Europe forever and real powerhouse. And you know, I bet
you probably and here's my estimate. Within ten years, I

(01:19:25):
bet Portie will be out of business. They have so
blindly pursued electric vehicles and no one is buying them.
You know, the lauded sports car manufacturers on real thin
ice given the low automobile sales, and it largely to
do with the fact that they're forcing electric vehicles on
everybody in Germany. It's just stupid policy. Nobody wants them.

(01:19:49):
I'm out of time, Rich, I thank you so much
for calling. Mike. I apologize I can't get your call,
but if you do, mind holding I will be happy
to take it. After the break, we gotta go. It's

this morning.

Speaker 16 (01:21:09):
Good morning, Brian, how are you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
I'm pretty good. I guess all things considered, Man, I
can't complain.

Speaker 5 (01:21:16):
Hey, so I had a.

Speaker 16 (01:21:19):
I was actually calling about the about the plow trucks.
I'm a heavy truck and equipment mechanic and it's actually
formally from northern California about four years ago, five eight
years ago. But on the trucks, so the trucks don't

(01:21:45):
actually have to be the sad old to not get
a part forum.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
Oh really, And for those just tuning in, Mike's reprint
of the local story about some of our twenty of
the eighty snow removal equipment trucks that we have in
the city are out of commission. One of the reasons
side it was they can't get parts for them. And
that's why I kind of jokingly said, what do they
have ed Soul manufactured trucks? But there's always someone who
listening audience that actually knows the truth behind this. So

(01:22:13):
I appreciate your expertise and calling and explaining this, like,
because I was scratching my head.

Speaker 16 (01:22:19):
Yeah, it's can it stupid? It's it's I got trucks. Oh,
a twenty thirteen mac is I've been trying to get
a break part for it for going on a year
and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Now, oh my word.

Speaker 8 (01:22:35):
And yeah, it's just.

Speaker 16 (01:22:40):
It's an okay truck. It's a decent truck, but oh it's.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
Applying a command well and if you can't get brakes
for it, a perfectly good otherwise truck is rendered completely unusable.
I mean, let's face it, you can't go operate at
the truck that and have breaks.

Speaker 9 (01:23:00):
On it, exactly.

Speaker 16 (01:23:03):
It totally junks the truck. Wow, and chassis chassis is
the last I priced chassis. So I priced out those
our a new garbage truck athlete in California. They were
twenty eighteen and just the chassis. So Peterbelt was one
hundred and thirty eight thousand, okay, and then you throws

(01:23:28):
any kind of body, so you're looking at two hundred
and three hundred one thousand of trucks. So depending on
the piece of equipment.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
Wow, well, at least they're they're looking into acquiring what
they might need to clean the roads. As of right now,
apparently they don't have sufficient quantities of equipment to do it.
So that's yeah, Yeah, that sounds like a course, a
course service of government because the population is not in
a position to clean all the roads. So this is

(01:24:00):
the government service that's required. So you know, let's hope
they get in front of it, like you know, clearing
out brush from the dry climbs of before the fire starts.
It's like every government, every city, on every level is
it can if you look just not even real hard,
you're going to find well, displays of gross incompetence or

(01:24:22):
failure to adequately prepare well.

Speaker 16 (01:24:26):
And he said, I'm formerly from Paradise, California. So the campfire,
I'll tell you it was, Uh, it's hints and it's
similar to the hurricanes and stuff, and uh.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Is in yeah, in Florida and North Carolina and Georgia.

Speaker 9 (01:24:55):
Sure, I mean it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
Mother Nature, cruel mistress, my friend, absolutely, without a question.
Appreciate the insight, Mike, I truly do. Got to get
ahead of problems and make sure you take care of them.
And I don't know if if you've heard any of
the story of Kyle Lee. I was listening to Fox
News on the way home the other day. Oh my god, heartbreaking.

(01:25:18):
They interview people who've literally lost everything. They don't have
anywhere to turn, they don't have access to resources. I mean,
the same thing went on and is still going on
to some degree in North Carolina and elsewhere where they've
been impacted by the hurricanes. But Lord almighty, I mean
a nuclear bomb basically went off in Los Angeles area,

(01:25:39):
but literally losing everything. I mean people who have who
lived their entire lives. They talk to someone who'd been
in the same home for sixty years. Obviously I'm more
elderly person, but you go from everything's going along swimmingly
to having literally losing everything that you own. And yes,
it's just stuff, but beyond that, where are you going

(01:26:00):
to move? Where are you going to find shelter between
now and whenever they rebuild Los Angeles two point zero
or whatever they're going to allow people to do or not,
as the case may be, and then adding insult to
injury the circumstances surrounding how this could possibly happen in
the first place. You know, you voted for these folks. Why,

(01:26:22):
I don't know, but maybe you have an opportunity to
write this ship learning a hard lesson, I mean a
devastating the hard lesson. Again. I there was a statement
from Governor Gavin news you know, blaming climate change back
in twenty twenty, when the fires were raging in twenty twenty.
That was four years ago, and virtually nothing has gotten

(01:26:43):
accomplished from the fire four years ago to the ones
that's going on right now. Nothing. I quite literally have
no patience for climate change deniers, he said back then.
And he also talked about, you know, cleaning up the
brush back then. As I pointed out, in twenty eighteen,

(01:27:05):
former Governor Jerry Moonbeam Brown signed a bill into law
one billion dollars for the purpose of preventing catastrophic wirefires
and protecting Californians. They were talking about it in twenty eighteen.
Imagine they were talking about it prior to that as well.
We've had multiple fires since he again, Governor Jerry Brown

(01:27:26):
allocated one billion dollars to try to solve the problem
back in twenty eighteen. What was done, very very little
was done. So it's not as other states didn't have
plenty of warning. And they keep playing going back to
climate change. Okay, we've been hearing this for the last
what twenty thirty years, climate change, climate change. Oh my god, Martin,

(01:27:48):
there's gonna be more forest fires, there's gonna be more hurricanes,
there's gotta be more inclement weather. Okay, do something about it.
Don't force me to get carbon capture going on. How
about fixing the immediate problem that we're staring at, which
is forest filled with a bunch of kindling, easily ignitable,
a power grid that has never been taken care of,

(01:28:12):
lines falling down because of the failure of the power
company to maintain its own equipment, which again you can
draw parallels to a lot of cities who aren't maintaining
what they've got City of Cincinnati roads infrastructure while pursuing
stuff and things. In this particular case, California has allocated
literally billions and billions and billions of dollars to build

(01:28:35):
windmill farms and prevent you from exhaling and eradicating cows
from the planet because of cow flatulence. Meanwhile, they're not
building the aquifers that they promise, They're not dealing with
the realities of the brush build up, They're ignoring the

(01:28:55):
resources that they previously allocated and not following through of
the projects they promised. Twenty nineteen report from Newsom's Wildfire
Strike Force said that over the next five years, as
state will commit over one billion dollars for critical fuel
reduction projects to support prescribed fire crews, forest thinning, and
other forest health projects. Really, when Newsom got sworn in

(01:29:21):
early in his term, he launched the California Vegetation Treatment Program,
which is claimed to be a plan to speed environmental
reviews for forest management projects. Fun fact that I pointed
out the other day. The Washington Examiner reported on if
they are actually the free Beacon. Free Beacon did a
review of the program's latest data. They found that of
the five hundred and twenty five approved projects that was

(01:29:43):
supposed to deal with just shy of six hundred and
seventy thousand acres, only two hundred and thirty one projects,
only six thousand acres were completed. Two projects located in
the Los Angeles metro area, regarding one hundred and third acres,
a fuel reduction project proposed by the Los Angeles County

(01:30:04):
Fire Department in a nonprofit watershed project, both incomplete. Again,
this is something Jerry Brown was dealing with before Newsom
even showed up. A Newsom threw even more money at it,
but no investigation from cap Rady with NPR California Newsroom
found the governor has misrepresented his accomplishments and even disinvested

(01:30:26):
in wildfire prevention. See they're screaming about climate change and
all the devastation is going to come ab out of it.
And the devastation if you want to attribute to climate change,
knock yourself out. All that accumulated because of climate change. Well, yeah,
it rained really hard for two years and then got
all that new growth and then over the last year,
which is consistent with the history of rainfall in California.

(01:30:49):
Sometimes you get a lot of it and sometimes you
get none of it. It's called, well, the natural climate
change that we experience here in the Cincinnati area. See
it's cold outside this snow is coming down. It's winter time.
For God's sake, some winners colder than others. Anyway, that
investigation I mentioned for found Newsom overstated by an outstanding

(01:31:11):
six hundred and ninety percent the number of acres and
treated with fuel brakes and prescribe burns in the very
forestry projects he said needed to be prioritized to protect
the state's most vulnerable communities. Newsom has claimed that thirty
five priority projects carried out as a result of his
executive order, resulting in fire prevention work on ninety thousand acres. However,

(01:31:32):
the state's own data show the numbers only just just
a little over eleven thousand, not the ninety thousand dollars
acres and he claimed. But even if it's ninety thousand acres,
it's woefully short of the almost six hundred and seventy
thousand acres that needed this this flame reduction war. These
projects performed on And there's the water bomb proposal. Go

(01:31:56):
back ten years twenty fourteen, where they approved a seven
and a half billion dollar water bond proposal, three billion
of which was set aside to build new reservoirs. Fast
forward to today, No one not a single reservoir has
been built. All that done in the name of climate change.
Got to do it because of climate change, climate change,

(01:32:18):
climate change. Okay, well why hasn't it been done? Yeah,
you put your confidence in elected officials. I think misplaced
is the right word for that. Seven eighteen fifty five

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
Seven twenty three fifty five Krcity talk station and go
straight to the phones, promise Mike. I ticked his coffee
held also have Nick on the line. Mike, welcome to
the program. Happy Tuesday to you, Hi, Bryan.

Speaker 18 (01:35:46):
Real quick about the couple things about the California wildfires
is how about they want to go green and put
up all these windmills and solar farms. But what's a
wildfire do under their precious carbon footprint right now? I
mean carbon from this fire?

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
I mean, well they It was a UCLA study that
was cited by a politician in an op ed piece
the other day which I read from the Wall Street Journal.
I can't remember the politician's name. He's a Republican out
of California, but he sided the UCLA study which, going
back to the twenty twenty wildfires, pointed out that they
negated the fire and in the particulate in the carbon

(01:36:24):
and the pollution that came out of the fire negated
eighteen years worth of efforts to reduce carbon and whatever
else that they did in California to try to reduce
their carbon footprint. So one fire negates eighteen years worth
of effort. Literally billions of dollars flushed down the toilet
because we had a naturally occurring event. Yeah, and also

(01:36:46):
the go ahead, and also with the.

Speaker 11 (01:36:54):
All the.

Speaker 18 (01:36:56):
They considered with the sixth or seventh largest economy in
the world, California, and it would be if there was
a country and they can't put out a fire.

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
Right exactly. Well, again going back to how much confidence
you want to place in government for solutions? How much
how much money do you want to place in the
hands of government for solutions? I mean, is this we
concite to all the efforts that they promised they were
going to do and did not do, and all of

(01:37:25):
the illustrations of either profound negligence or perhaps intentional conduct.
And we've got people out in listening audience that think
this was all intentionally done so they can create you know,
La two point oh. You know that's city designed in
their own vision as opposed to what people actually want
and built over the years. But regardless, I mean there

(01:37:47):
really literally is only so much government can do. And
if people keep turning to the government for solutions and
they keep getting well things like this in response, you'd
think that people would wake up to that at some point.

Speaker 11 (01:38:02):
Well, g.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
Maybe they're not capable, or you know, worst case scenario,
they could be capable, but we just end up electing
idiots for whatever reason. Sevent twenty six to fifty five
kres De Talks Station got Nick and Jeff hang on, guys,
and take quick break. Here mentioned affordable imaging services because

(01:38:25):
that's where you can get your MRIs and you see
t scans, your echo cartograms, your ultra sounds, lung screening,
and cardiac scoring for truly a fraction of what the
hospital imaging departments charge. I don't know how much a
lung screening is at a hospital imaging department. I imagine
it's a hell of a lot more than ninety nine dollars,
which is all a cost that affordable imaging services and

(01:38:46):
includes a board certified radiologists report goes along with it
all of the images include in the price that radiologists
report at the hospital. It's likely you have a separate
bill for that your doctor needs it. Trust me. Scan
five thousand dollars at a hospital four hundred and fifty bucks,
same kind of equipment, right, same experts, kind of experts operating.

(01:39:09):
It's just very very low overhead. And you know it's
way more than overhead at the hospital imaging department. I mean,
they just it's it's a place for them to make
a serious, fat profit. That's what it's all about. Not
that I'm against profit. I'm just telling you when it
comes to medical hair, you have a choice. Support the
profit center at the hospital and go ahead and pay
five thousand dollars for a CT scan, or go to

(01:39:31):
affordable imaging services where it's four to fifty without a
contrast six hundred with a contrast including the radiologist report.
I had a CT scan done there, bad news, but
you know my doctor didn't complain about the imaging or
the radiologist report. So exercise your choice. Save the out
of pocket responsibility. You're on a new calendar year here,

(01:39:51):

Speaker 5 (01:41:22):
Thanks Brian, Happy Tuesday to you too. First of all,
I wanted to say good luck with your appointment today.
Oh thanks man, And yes, and my brother has a
similar appointment today for a different issue. That's kind of
a different type of thing, but it's it's the same
type of issue where it keeps.

Speaker 8 (01:41:38):
Going on, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
Yeah, yeah, hek You're not I have my cancer follow
up today. I did not. I took a break from
the treatment, so I'm going back today to find out
if I'm going to pursue a treatment protocol or continue
this wait and see approach. So that's that's the appointment
that Nick's referring to. Thank you, though, Nick, I appreciate
the well wishes.

Speaker 5 (01:41:58):
Well, thank you and good luck, and hey, I have
a couple of things I wanted to touch on a
few different things that you've been talking about and try
to do it real quick. But one of your previous
callers was talking about people dying from the fake forced vaccines,
all within sixteen months of each other. And that's not
a conspiracy theory. I published information about that in my

(01:42:21):
book Our God Given Freedom a year ago last January.
And there have been studies done by mds and highly
qualified board certified mds, you know who are nationally known
some of them, and they proved that one of them
is doctor Peter McCullough, but there are several other ones.
And you know, Chris Ray is talking about now warning

(01:42:43):
people about the CCP so he can say we warned you.
I think that's what it's about. The CCP is a
close ally of the US Democratic Party and by Biden
and the man made, man made global warming climate change.

(01:43:04):
You know, that's not a conspiracy theory. That is actually
another Democrat communist hoax.

Speaker 2 (01:43:12):
And you know that's all I've been I've been saying
that for years. I've been saying that for years and years.
I mean, it just seems so obvious to me that,
I mean, they literally hang their hat on the idea
that you and I are exhaling ourselves out of existence
to justify everything under the sun anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:43:29):
It's just you're absolutely right.

Speaker 9 (01:43:31):
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 5 (01:43:32):
And Newsom as governor is head of the California Communist
Democrat Party, and you know he he's suspending the rules
for rebuilding because he wants to cover up evidence in
the fire. That's what he's doing by suspending those rules.
He wants to get things underway and cover up the evidence.

(01:43:53):
It's the same thing they're trying to do in Hawaii, I.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
Believe, Well, I'm not quite certain about that. I mean,
how quickly does anybody think they can rebuild Los Angeles?
And I don't know what evidence there might be or
not be. I don't know how honestly a fire marshal
can determine the exact cause of any one of those fires.
And it is certainly possible, given the reports of people
caught starting fires, that there are multiple sources and causes

(01:44:20):
for the fires. It could have been the electric equipment,
it could have been an arsonist, it could have been
somebody just got it an out of control fire to campground.
I've heard that as a possibility. So whether or not
they're ever going to be to determine that remains the
b seen. But I'm not so conspiracy minded to think
that somehow they're engaging in a quick rebuild for the
purposes of a cover up. Just don't believe that to

(01:44:40):
be within the realm of possibility. But you know what
I have been wrong before. Let's see what Jeff's got
this morning. Jeff, welcome to the program. Oh wait a second,
hold on, Jeff, I see that I'm out of time,
and I just got a warning from Jes Drecker aka
Harry Eyeball don't do that, so I'll get your call.
Hang on, Jeff. First, want to mention chimneycare, fireplace and stuff.
Take care of your safety. Make sure you have an
inspection of your chimney, your firebox, whether it's gas or

(01:45:03):
wood burning. I know, wood burnings, you know, a bigger deal.
Because of the the kreosote and particulate and things that
come off of the burning wood. It sticks inside your
chimney flu and of course that can catch on fire.
Chimney fires can crack the lining. They do replace linings
with the Chimneycare fireplace and stove, but you don't have
to go down that road. If you have it inspected

(01:45:23):
and have it swept by a certified chimney sweep that's
what it's all about. Could be clogged, it's possible. Carbon
monoxide is a deadly killer, and you don't want that happening.
I have a friend that fired up their fireplace gas
for the first time and the whole room got filled
with smoke danger. So, of course Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove
to the rescue on that one. They'll clean your dryer
vent out too. That's important because it's a real energy savior.

(01:45:45):
If your dryer event is clogged, it's taking your clothes
too long to dry. Plus there is that also possible
fire rist that goes along with that. So think of safety,
you think a Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove aplus with a
better business beer. They literally do everything including tuck pointing,
cap and damper replacement, in installing new fireplace inserts and
a huge selection of freestanding stows fireplace inserts. Located the

hear from you. I always enjoy hearing from Jeff. Welcome back, Jeff, Jeff,

(01:47:40):
Welcome back.

Speaker 8 (01:47:40):
Jeff, Hello, Brian, as always you and.

Speaker 17 (01:47:45):
Joe or true Patriots buddy, and happy New Year.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
Thank you, and happy New year. Right back at your brother.
Turn your radio down, would you? Jeff?

Speaker 16 (01:47:52):
It's oh, I'm sorry it should be.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
Joe said, you're blueth.

Speaker 12 (01:48:03):
Uh, it's my blue tailer.

Speaker 8 (01:48:04):
Got hold on.

Speaker 4 (01:48:04):
Let me flip onto my the other technology.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
That's better. Hello, How's that that's better? Go ahead? Okay.

Speaker 17 (01:48:15):
So I just want to point out to everybody, and
I'm sure everybody already knows it that listens to the
incredible Brion Thomas is the that we still get plenty
of warning that the Democrats keep dropping the ball on
everything that they touch. I mean, I mean, over the

(01:48:37):
last four years, we've had hundreds of cases that have
come out and said yes, there was voter tampering on
the election before that, but they act like it's just
one event, you know. I mean it's like the news
media never says after the tenth, the twentieth, the thirtieth,
the fortieth. They never say, oh, this is the fortieth. No,

(01:49:00):
they just say, well, this has okay, so sure there
were there were there were problems here. And it's the
same thing with the fires. I mean the fires, every
single thing went wrong, and yet they keep acting like
that they're they it's almost like they in the sentence
and that's it, you know, it's it's it's not cumulative.

Speaker 8 (01:49:21):
And yet.

Speaker 17 (01:49:23):
We just look at them touch things and they just
ruin them. And it's just unbelievable that nobody else in
Washington it has the uh, you know, the umph to
uh to actually call them on it. I mean, sure,
we'll have tons of those hearings that we you and
I have always been so impressed with, and they'll just

(01:49:45):
wiggle their finger at them and say, you're just evil
and you've just done a bad thing and you you guys,
are you know inept and blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah, and then another hearing.

Speaker 2 (01:49:57):
Or they promised to fix it. I mean what you're saying,
so like one of I heart me. The aviation expert
Jay Ratlas rant about the FAA and its relationship with Boeing.
Have been problems going on with Boeing for years and
years and years. FAA goes in, they yell at him,
they scream at him. Boeing promises to do something. We
fired the guy, or we're gonna change it and we're
gonna be good boys from now on, and they don't.

(01:50:18):
And then doors start plowing off the planes and used
parts are unapproved parts are stuck on because while they
ran out of the proper fitting part. So and that's
the same thing that I've been talking about in California.
These have happened before check. There have been complainings before check.
They've allocated billions of dollars and promised to fix them.

(01:50:41):
They promises to the taxpayer and actually have budgets that
include billions of dollars to fix the problem to the
extent they can by putting in fire brakes and more dams.
They promised to do it, they didn't follow up and
do it. I mean, that's there in lines of the failure.
I mean, it's one thing, as you properly suggests that
we will witness a problem and then people will you know,

(01:51:03):
harumph over it, and then nothing will be done at all.
They don't even give lip servers to the idea they're
going to fix it. In these particular cases, they actually
say they are going to fix it, and they put
policies in place to do it, but they don't complete
the projects, right.

Speaker 17 (01:51:19):
I mean, it's it's just phenomenal that you know, you
and I were in our fifties or almost sixty and
and we've known about California fires our entire life exactly,
and yet and yet we have never ever seen any
type of preventative measures. We just they talk about them,
you know, they talk about a lot. Yeah, and why

(01:51:41):
would why would someone assume that they can give away
half of their fire department to Ukraine when there's always fires.

Speaker 12 (01:51:52):
I mean, that's just I mean, to me, that's just
the most dufiest.

Speaker 17 (01:51:57):
Anti common sense thing I've ever heard of in my life.
And yet you know, apparently we're just not willing to
do anything about it. I just hope that maybe California
has gotten so past the realm of upsetness that I
know that's not word, but that they will maybe call
some of these people out and one would help, even

(01:52:19):
fire them. I mean, that would be wonderful. I'd like
to see at least one person fired after all this
death and destruction. But anyway, we'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:52:27):
Yes, you have a great day. We will meantime. You
and I keep our popcorn out and thank god we're
not living in California right. Appreciate it, Jeff, take care
of yourself, my brother, so some forty five, Joey, hang on, brother,
I will take your call. Just need to take a break.
Care mentioned USA Installation's Premium foam because it's it's just
an outstanding product. Thousands and thousands of homes have gotten

(01:52:48):
the benefit of Usay's Premium foam. Have that foam injected
into the extery walls of your home. You will have
a far more comfortable home and you will save money
every single month. The product will pay for itself, and
your only that's going to be you didn't do it sooner,
especially when they've got a special ninety nine dollars a
month interest free, and I know a lot of folks
save more than that in their energy bills, most notably
given the energy bills are going through the roof and

(01:53:09):
they're never going to come back down. So enjoy the
benefits of a lower energy bill a more comfortable home.
Call the folks at US say to have your home inspected.
They'll do it for free to find out where you
are on an insulation perspective that could be too little
in the walls, like my daughter's home with R twelve
from the late seventies, and the stuff deteriorates over time,
so she wasn't even getting the benefit of R twelve.

In went the Pham happy housewarming gift and very happy
they work. Because the heater went out, they forgout to
fill the pro paying tank or weren't minding it, so
they had almost a whole week without heat. But that
foam really helped them. And she even commented me about that.
So comfortable savings every month. It's the right thing to do,
so do it and you get a tax credit. Yes,
they've extended that energy tax credit, I think after a

(01:53:52):
decade or something. So when you're doing your taxes, next year.
For this year, talk about a twelve hundred dollars energy
tax credit. That's like getting a cash check from the
government to do the right thing, save money and improve comfort.

On Sore, editor at Large, is in LA. Looking forward
to having Rebeca on the program and looking forward to
talking to Joey, who's kind enough to holder of the
break Joey, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 8 (01:55:27):
Morning, sir. How are you today?

Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
I am doing well, I think, and I hope you
can say the same.

Speaker 8 (01:55:31):
Yes, sir, I put my feet on the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:55:33):
It's a good day. Amen. Brother.

Speaker 19 (01:55:36):
I just wanted to talk about mister news. I'm out
in California. I saw an interview recently, and I believe
it was CBS News. As an older, dark haired gentleman,
not one of the more popular interviewers that you see,
and he was talking to him in.

Speaker 14 (01:55:52):
You got to look this up.

Speaker 1 (01:55:53):
I mean, he was almost acting giddy, he was happy.

Speaker 14 (01:55:57):
He kept shifting his head in turnal.

Speaker 1 (01:56:00):
Way elated in a bizarre way. And he was very,
very controlling on how he answered his questions. He would
deflect any type of a good direct answer of course,
on anything. And at one point he had mentioned how
all the state reservoirs this and that in a braggingly way,

(01:56:23):
and then the interviewer asked him about what about the
reservoir And I don't know the big name of the
town there, it's an odd name. What about the one,
this one that was empty? And he just looks around
anim screaming and says that's not almost corrective, like the
interviewers ignorant and doesn't know what he's talking about. It,
looks at him and shakes his head in grins and

(01:56:44):
says that that's not a state reservoir, correcting him. And
I'm thinking, yeah, but it's empty.

Speaker 8 (01:56:52):
And for what bizarre reason?

Speaker 1 (01:56:55):
Over what bug fish or nonsense or money that somebody
is or isn't getting, why is it empty? You know
in the main town, whatever that name is, I'm not
familiar with the name that burned to the ground. And
you can look at the data through through the years,
probably one hundred years, to see how it came under control,

(01:57:18):
the fires and how they accelerated and how they've gotten
worse based on what actions have.

Speaker 8 (01:57:25):
Or have not been taken.

Speaker 1 (01:57:26):
And it kind of reminds me of deep on the
police in a lot of ways too. You know, they
all want to deflect from that, and mac like they
never did say that, not in favor of that. Of course,
since crime has risen and it's the same nonsense going
on with the fires now.

Speaker 17 (01:57:41):
It's absolutely incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:57:43):
The guy is a babbling lion fool. And I'd also
like to mention how Kamala is completely absent from this,
and I believe she's from there and is even thinking.

Speaker 19 (01:57:54):
About getting involved there and taking a position there, I
guess in the governor or whatever.

Speaker 11 (01:57:58):
And that's kind of indible. She's numb.

Speaker 1 (01:58:01):
Don't hear anything from her. But it's just so sad
and so stupid. And these people that had these million
dollar homes they'll never rebuild again. Some of them had
them homes that for decades. Yeah, they'll never get that
value of that million dollar home again, and that's what
they want, so they can.

Speaker 14 (01:58:19):
Come in and build community, big structure of building and
have control it.

Speaker 8 (01:58:24):
It's just like COVID.

Speaker 1 (01:58:25):
It's another way that they can take control and behind
the scenes are a little giddy over it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:30):
Well, you may be right on that, but my initial
take on Gavin Newsom's demeanor during the interview was that
he was acting more along the lines of you mentioned R.
Kamala Harris. I think she would get into these smile
giggle fests and these word salads out of because he
was nervous and wasn't capable of answering the question clearly
and logically and reasonably. In the case of Newsom, he

(01:58:51):
has no answer for the question as to why the
reservoir was empty remain empty for so long. He so
he deflects by saying, well, that's not our responsibility. That
doesn't mean he shouldn't know the answer to the question.
He's a governor the damn state. You don't think in
that position you would ask the local authorities why the
damn or why the reservoir it was completely drained? Well,
you asked that question because you know people are going

(01:59:14):
to ask you. You're going to be surrounded by reporters.
They are going to be insisting on you passing along
the information, So just say what's me or that's the states?
That isn't That isn't an appropriate response under the circumstances.
I mean, but I'm gonna go with he was nervous
and incapable and doesn't like being put on the spot.

(01:59:35):
I remind me of who is the I went to
West Point guy, Joe, the Bob McDonald, I mean, asked
him a direct question when he was responsible for the
veterans' affairs and getting the veterans were getting their appointments
canceled and it was just basically a nightmare situation for
my American veteran friends. And I asked him about that,

(01:59:55):
and he, do you know, basically, do you know who
I am? I went to West Point. Well, you'll hear
that from elected officials all the time. You know who
I am, especially when they get pulled over at night
and when they're inebriated. That's just a deflection. And if
you're not confident in your questioning ability, if you're not
confident in your position, if you're not armed with the information,

(02:00:15):
then you might cave to that. You might concede a point. Now,
Bob McDonald learned that day that he was talking to
the wrong guy. That's one of my favorite times in

Editor at Large Rebecca Mansoor, who is Colonists from Los Angeles, California. Rebecca,
welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

Speaker 20 (02:01:38):
Welcome, h Well, good to talk with you very early
in the morning here.

Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
Yes, yes, it is and very difficult week. How long
have you been out? I been out in LA or
are you? Do you live in the Greater Los Angeles area?
I guess we should establish that.

Speaker 5 (02:01:53):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 20 (02:01:53):
I've lived here for nearly three decades. I've lived here
longer than anywhere else in my life. Actually, I'm originally
from more your neck of the woods. I'm born and
raised in Matur, Detroit, but moved out here in the
late nineties and have never left.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
How about that. So it's obviously closer and nearer and
dearer to your personal experience with that much time there
to see the devastation. It's actually been completely heartbreaking to
hear the accounts of longtime residents like yourself who have
literally lost everything, because they're just every day there's more
and more interviews with folks, and it's just hard to

(02:02:29):
really put yourself in a position where you are, you
have everything going in your life and the next thing
you know, it's completely gone. Has your personal neighborhood been
impacted by these fires.

Speaker 20 (02:02:41):
Well, yeah, a little bit, but not nearly as bad
and anywhere near as bad as Palisades, the Pacific Palisades
fire or the Altadena Pasadena area. I live in the
Hollywood Hills area. We did have to evacuate briefly, yeah,
with the fire that broke out. So I have a

(02:03:01):
taste of the experience here with the evacuation. I left,
had evacuate on Wednesday and quickly come back. And I'll
tell you I've lived here, like I said, nearly thirty years.
I've never seen anything like this, None of us have.
This is a very unique experience. And we're used to earthquakes, wildfires,
mud slides, you name it out here. This is nonelike

(02:03:24):
anything any of us have ever witnessed, and it's really
has rattled us, terrified us my colleagues. As you know,
Breitbart News is headquartered out of Los Angeles. This is
the hometown of our founder Andrew Breitbart, and everybody, all
of my colleagues have been impacted. One of my colleagues,

(02:03:46):
John conn who is the singer songwriter who created the
number one hit song Fighter, a Trump tribute song. He
lost everything his house. He had to watch it burn
to the ground.

Speaker 12 (02:03:59):
On his ring.

Speaker 11 (02:04:00):
App after he was evacuated.

Speaker 20 (02:04:02):
Another one of my colleagues just barely saved his house.
He was using his son's baseball bucket to put out
the fire himself. And you know, all of my Another
one of my colleagues lost everything on their street. Their
house was miraculously saved. All of us have had to
be evacuated at least once. And we're not out of

(02:04:23):
the woods yet because just right now as I'm speaking
to you, the winds are kicking up again. The Santa
Ana wins not as bad as they were last week
with the ninety to one hundred mile per hour wind gus.
These wind gusts are about, you know, sixty miles per hour,
but still with these two fires still raging, this is
a very very dangerous situation for us. So we could

(02:04:46):
see this all happen again this week. So we're just
not out of the woods. It's it's an insane situation.
And I know that people are going to say that
it's unprecedented. It is unprecedented to see all these multiple
fires go at the same time like this, But it
was not something that had to happen necessarily if we

(02:05:06):
had competent leadership.

Speaker 2 (02:05:08):
Well, and I'm glad you win that direction, because I
was wondering if your fellow Angelina's were actually talking about
the incompetence of government officials, the promises previously made that
were broken. I've been going through the UCENT for the
last couple of days. I mean, I go back to
Governor Jerry Brown. Twenty eighteen, he signed a one billion
dollar bill that was supposed to prevent catastrophic wildfires and
protect Californians from this type of thing. Governor knew from

(02:05:31):
twenty nineteen. The report from the Wildfire Strike Force said
that over the next five years, the state will commit
over one billion dollars for critical fuel reduction projects, support
to prescribed fire crews, forest thinning, and other forest health projects.
There was a bond bill back in twenty fourteen overwhelmingly
approved by Californians, three billion dollars of which was supposed
to set aside to be building new reserves or reservoirs.

(02:05:53):
And here we are ten years later, not single new
reservoir has been built. Do you feel let down? I
mean the Democrats who elect these Democrats who are obviously
demonstrably incompetent or for whatever reason, don't follow through with
promises made to deal with the next fire, as if
they're not going to happen again. Are they talking about that?

(02:06:13):
Do they feel letdown? Are they going to maybe perhaps
change their attitudes toward electing government officials?

Speaker 20 (02:06:22):
Oh yeah, I mean, look, if we've been mugged by reality,
you know, like the famous saying that a conservative is
just a liberal who was mugged by reality. Yes, we've
all been mugged. Everybody's been mugged by reality out here.
The issue is whether there's going to be a sane,
common sense conservative Republican that will step up and present

(02:06:43):
themselves as a solution. That's always an issue here because
we just we don't really have the infrastructure for a
strong Republican party.

Speaker 2 (02:06:51):
We need one.

Speaker 20 (02:06:53):
But I'll tell you what, Yeah, there's all sorts of
anger about all of this stuff. And you know, look,
the one guy that we could have elected mayor Lasco around.
His name is Rick Caruso. He was a former water commissioner.
He's also a billionaire property owner, and he has this

(02:07:16):
really nice property in Pacific Palisades called the Palisades village.
It's really Si Shi mall. You know, his property is
the only thing still standing in the area because he
hired a private you know, firefighting for to keep his
property wet, to keep it, you know, to have a
water tanks there. Because he knew the problem and he

(02:07:38):
had been warning everybody of the problem. We didn't elect him.
We decided to elect Karen Bass instead, who was and
I don't usually throw this word around, but she has
a literal communist. Okay, she was involved in the Communist
Front group during the seventies in Cuba. So I mean
we elected a literal communist who you know, ran out

(02:07:59):
of abortion and basically instead of the guy who's the
water commissioner who was warning us about the wildfires.

Speaker 8 (02:08:06):
So this is what we got.

Speaker 20 (02:08:07):
We can still get an abortion here up until birth
and even after probably, but we cannot keep our city
from burning to the ground.

Speaker 2 (02:08:16):
So yeah, well I'm glad, Well, I'm glad to hear
that the pot has been stirred, and maybe there might
be some profound political changes down the road. But in
the meantime you have to deal with this, and there's
a lot of questions swirling around about you know, obviously
the cause of the fire, whether or not we find
out the cause or not. A lot of you know,
I either call them pattern observers or conspiracy theories talking

(02:08:39):
about well, this was intentional, designed to clear the land
so they can rebuild Los Angeles in their own global
warming connected image. I guess I'm wondering, you know what,
what you think is going to happen by people's by
way of people's ability to rebuild once to get all
the debris cleared out, is that going to be impeded
by further regulations and new building codes and that type

(02:09:02):
of thing.

Speaker 20 (02:09:04):
Well, Governor Knewsom has lifted, supposedly lifted some of the
owner's building codes, right California. California has the most owner's
building codes in the country. Yes, And as part of
it is because we have wildfires, we have earthquakes, et cetera.
Also part of it is because we have this sort
of nimby not in my backyard attitude out here, and

(02:09:28):
so usually it takes upwards of ten years to build
a house. Let's hope that he means it with that,
but all bets are off because you know, look, if
it starts to take forever to get a rebuild, and
you know your property, you're still having to pay taxes
are very high taxes and Pacific palisades. You know, the

(02:09:50):
temptation might be for some residents just to say, okay, fine,
somebody just I can't afford this anymore. And then some
giant private equity firm will come step in and say
here's some money and just throw some change at you,
and you just say, okay, I'm moving to Idaho or whatever.
If that happens, then yeah, you're gonna have another Lahina
situation that we had in Maui, you know, where they

(02:10:11):
just they bought up all of the property from the
people who are the true working class people in Mauwi.
So God only knows. I really cannot say. This is
going to be a very long rebuild process. Just clearing
up the debris alone is going to take a year,
two years, three years. The actual rebuild of that property.

(02:10:32):
I was talking with some you know, general contractors, construction
guys all of that. They were saying could be as
many as fifteen to twenty years. Certainly not going to
be overnight. I'm sorry, it's just not I mean, others
will dispute that, and I keep you know, and they'll say, no,
I won't take down maybe ten. I'm like, is anything

(02:10:53):
ever in this state? It took ten years. They said
five years ago that they were going to build reservoirs.
You got the reservoirs, uh, the ones that we have.
The fanninaz reservoir was offline with no water. That's the
reservoir near Pacific Palisades. So the Pacific Palisades don't have
any water because they took it offline to fix a
tear in the roof that And you know, we we

(02:11:15):
gave billion dollar boonds, as you said, to build more reservoirs.
They don't have any reservoirs. We've been paying billions twenty
four billion for homeless the homeless problem out here, to
build new residential places. See any residential places, guys?

Speaker 8 (02:11:30):
You know.

Speaker 20 (02:11:30):
So yeah, it's going to take a long time. We
do everything like ridiculously long time, you know, in California.

Speaker 2 (02:11:37):
So yeah, it's like it's as though you're you're your
own worst enemy. You you you have these proposals to
fix or find some solutions to the wildfire problem. Not
that they're going to be bulletproof, but you know, the
fire breaks are a good idea cleaning out brush is
a good idea. They do proposals, they have the money
for the programs, and then the environmentalists come in and

(02:11:57):
challenge them in lawsuits, which either prevent the project for
moving forward or delay them. It's the environmental laws that
are on the books. You're just chasing your own tail.

Speaker 5 (02:12:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:12:08):
Look, right now, I think what we are witnessing is
the beginning of the dawn of a new anti woke
era that requires competency and common sense. And anybody that
could present themselves as the leader of competency and common sense,
I don't care what your background is or who you are,

(02:12:31):
that's the leader that's going to win. And right now California,
Southern California in particular, is that a very you know,
dire situation because of lack of competency and lack of
common sense.

Speaker 2 (02:12:44):
Yes, it's a demonstras start waking up to that.

Speaker 8 (02:12:47):
I'm the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (02:12:49):
It's always nice that there's an ounce of optimism in
an otherwise completely horrific situation. Rebecca mends or so I'm
fingers crossed in prayers that you do all go in
that direction and then you know you couldn't convince me
that hosting the Olympics is a good idea. Regardless of
where it is, most all of them end up costing
billions of dollars and losing money. I see that seven

(02:13:11):
billion dollars a taxpayer money has been set aside to
host the Los Angeles the twenty twenty eight Olympics right
there in Los Angeles. Is that something that's even going
to be further pursued and is it worth the expenditure
of money to bring the Olympics the Olympians there at
this juncture?

Speaker 20 (02:13:30):
You know, it's like this is this one really hurts
me because I was really excited about the Olympics. I
think a lot of Los Angeleans we were really excited
about it because you know, we had it here in
eighty four.

Speaker 2 (02:13:44):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:13:45):
But it's like we're bringing it back, and it was
gonna be a really big, obviously huge thing. I don't
know if we could still pull it off. I really don't.
I mean, look, other places that have had terrible catastrophes
have pulled it off. I mean, my god, Vladimir Putin
built Sochi the Olympic for the Winter Olympics, like from scratch,

(02:14:06):
pretty much. You saw how horrible it was in Rio
where they had to clean out crap literally from their
their water. If others can do it, and if China
had to like change the freaking weather to do it,
you'll recall remember the Beijing Olympics. Yes, I kind of
feel like LA should be able to do it, but

(02:14:26):
you know, I don't know, and I don't know if
people will feel comfortable coming here after all of this.
I think we probably will.

Speaker 2 (02:14:33):
There is there is that element, but you know, and
it's isn't it funny? Giving the ironic? And maybe you
can call it that Rebecca forty Park company. But all
you mentioned it takes ten years and I've read that
multiple times from multiple sources, about ten years to build
almost anything but consider a house. But it's twenty twenty eight,
four years fast forward. They're going to have to build
an entire Olympic village and all the facilities for it.

(02:14:55):
They don't care about the environment when it comes to
getting projects like that up. I guess, oh you notice, yeah,
I did.

Speaker 20 (02:15:04):
That's the one thing I will tell you this is
that when you got super rich people in Palisades who
want their house built, I'm kind of thinking that maybe
would you know when these people say we want my
house built, when you know the Barber Streisands of the world,
suddenly they'll be built.

Speaker 2 (02:15:22):
Yes, I'm just.

Speaker 20 (02:15:23):
Kind of that's one thing that I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (02:15:26):
You're not going out on much of a limb on
that one. Editor at large Breitbart dot Com find a
Rebecca mon Store. It has been a real pleasure. Prayers
to all of you. I know it's a difficult situation,
obviously extraordinarily frustrating, but we do care. No one wants
to go through this and we don't want to see
our fellow Americans have to go through this, so you know, godspeed.
I hope they address the challenges you're currently facing today,

(02:15:47):
get the fires put out and start the rebuild process,
and people get their lives back together. I look forward
to having you back on the show again real soon, Rebecca.
Best of luck to you.

lights from Field Journal off and on the Red Bank,
Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRSD talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:17:11):
Hey, twenty three fifty five KRCE. The talk station just
got a couple of minutes here in the segment before
you get to Daniel Davis and doing the deep dive
once again on the topic schedule. The latest in the
Russia Ukraine War. I saw that Ukraine was willing to
send one hundred and fifty of its own firefighters to
help fight the California wildfires, which, you know, I it's

(02:17:32):
a nice gesture, I suppose, but after all the billions
of dollars we shoveled into Ukraine, the idea that they're
going to send their resources here just seems kind of
bassackwards on some level. And talking of course, the loss
of trust and in elected officials, I've never had trust
in elected officials really ever. This is why I'm a libertarian.

(02:17:53):
I don't believe in handing the keys of my life
over to anybody else but me. I'm responsible for the
man I look at in the mirror every day. False all, yeah,
lots of them. And when I'm done fixing myself, and
maybe I'll come and start telling you how to live
your life. But I know that's never going to happen.
But I saw this interesting figure while VVA Grama Swimmy
and Elon Musk, you know, dealing with the Doge challenge.

(02:18:15):
It promised to cut maybe up to two trillion dollars
out of the federal government. How about just starting with
waste and it's determined Heywood into Talco or Heywood talco.
He's the CE of Lexus Nexus Risk Solution did some
numbers crunching, pointing out that about twenty percent of the

(02:18:37):
big spending programs you got, like Medicaid, food stamps, et cetera,
are wasted on fraudulent payments, coming up to a total
of about eight hundred billion dollars. Speaking with Washington Times,
I think there's probably eight hundred billion annually sitting there,
and I think five hundred billion is low hanging fruit.
The focus needs to be on the fraudulent and improper payments.

(02:18:58):
I don't think in many cases there needs to be
this action to cut spending in a program. He says.
You know, while the Trump administration wants to do budget cutting,
it's easier to just go after the fraud waste than abuse.
Maybe you wouldn't even have to cut a department or
two in order to reach the savings they're hoping for.
But considering we're blowing through and as the CBO has
calculated two trillion dollars in additional debt spending every year

(02:19:21):
for the next ten years. I mean, we could cut
that basically in half just by getting and ferreting out fraud,
waste and abuse. So there's your government responsible for your money.
If it was their own money, you know, damn well,
there wouldn't be so much fraud, waste and abuse. But
they don't care. This bigot is on. They take as
much as they want from you, and when it's not enough,

(02:19:43):
they go ahead and borrow more. Interest payments on that too.
Actually could cover the interest payments on what we've borrowed
so far. There's a challenge get rid of fraud, waste
and abuse. How about allocating some resources to that. Eight
twenty six Daniel Davis Deep Dive up next. I hope
you can stick around the talk station. The Simply Money
Minute is sponsored by Emory Federal Credit Union A twenty

(02:20:07):
nine at fifty five KERCD talk station. Love this time
of the week because it's when we do the Daniel
Davis Deep Dive with our friend, retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis,
talking about well, of course War Russian and Ukraine the
subject matter again today. Welcome back, my friend. It's always
a pleasure having you on my show. It's always a
pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having me back.

(02:20:29):
Happy to do it looks like you got a change
of venue there. I have a video conference call going
on with Daniel Davis every week we do this, and
you have a different environment now we do.

Speaker 21 (02:20:39):
We're kind of upgrading our studio here a little bit.
There'll be some changes even probably next week two. All right, well,
so just trying to make it better for the viewer. Fantastic.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
I'll encourage my listeners to get your podcast Deep Dive
or Daniel Davis Deep Dive. You can find it wherever
you get your podcasts. Well, Daniel, what is going on
in Ukraine right now? I see NATO ismed in talking
about maybe peace talks. We gotten to the point where
they're going to be talking peace. I know that some
North Korean soldiers or troops got captured by the Ukrainians

(02:21:10):
the other day, and I still can't figure out the
whole idea about North Korea being involved, except, as you've
noted before, because they're there to get some genuine fighting experience,
which I suppose is something people need to have if
they're going to plan on getting into a war with
South Korea. But where are we at this stage of
the game.

Speaker 21 (02:21:28):
Listen, I'm more optimistic now that this thing can come
to an end that I've been in quite a long time.
And that's based on comments by both the Russian side
as recently as earlier today, as well as some of
the official statements from some of the incoming Trump administration officials,
because I think everybody is zeroed in on that this
war has to come to an end. Lavrov this morning

(02:21:52):
actually said the Foreign Minister for Russia said that he
was encouraged by some of the comments coming from the
Trump team that they're eager to talk to him on
an official basis after the twentieth of January, and they
said they're encouraged by the fact that the Trump team
is talking about realities on the ground, which is the
term that the Russian side has been used, and said
that without a common understanding of what the reality is,

(02:22:14):
that it's impossible to make a deal, and it looks
like they're starting to coalesce around that. Trump, for his part,
has said he just wants the war and the killing
to come to a stop, and applaud him for that
because I think that's exactly what we need. That's got
to be your first focus. Then you can worry about
the details after that. But listen, I just got to
make sure everybody understands the deal is not going to

(02:22:36):
be good from the Ukraine side, but it's going to
probably be the best it can be attained here because
if a deal isn't resolved and found, then Russia will
simply keep fighting until they win on the battlefield and
more Ukrainians will die, right, and that seems to be
the most likely scenario absinute deal.

Speaker 2 (02:22:53):
But is it possible And I'm just throwing this out
that a deal and you're optimistic more so than ever
you have been for a while. Anyway, that the new
Trump administration and the idea that it would foster and
encourage a deal is because it's going to have far
less of an appetite to continue funding billions of dollars
to arm the Ukrainians. Well, that's a huge part of it,

(02:23:14):
without question.

Speaker 21 (02:23:15):
That's something that many I mean, you know, Vice President
elect Advance said in an April of twenty twenty four
op ed in The New York Times.

Speaker 2 (02:23:25):
He said, look that the numbers just don't add up.

Speaker 21 (02:23:27):
He said, this doesn't make any sense to continue shoveling
billions and billions of dollars into an empty hole that
can't succeed and banned. Was he ever proven right because
he was talking about at the time, this sixty one
billion dollars that the administration, current administration said was going
to change the course of the war. And it's really
ironic when you look at the tracking how much territory
the Russians gained through that year once that money became

(02:23:50):
available at starting with June, the amount of territory lost
every month rose after that, meaning it got worse. So
Trump is very focused on just I mean, he's a
businessman at heart, right, So he's you know, pros and
cons the profit and loss balance sheet, and he sees
this is not good, this is not helpful, and then
you add in the human cost to that, and it

(02:24:11):
doesn't make any sense at all to keep going down
a path that can't win.

Speaker 2 (02:24:14):
And instead he's like, we need to get this thing
off the table.

Speaker 21 (02:24:18):
Cut cut the losses, not just of our losses, but
the Ukrainian physical losses as soon as possible, so that
rebuilding and recovery can start.

Speaker 2 (02:24:28):
That's so important for the Ukraine side, it really is,
and it's important for you know, the globe as well.
I mean, we kind of look the fact that Ukraine
was previously described as you know, the bread basket of
the whole region. It fed and provided you know, food
for multiple countries, not just Ukrainians. And of course maybe
it would go a long way to solve the ongoing
and self inflicted wound that is the energy problem they're

(02:24:51):
experience in the European Union.

Speaker 21 (02:24:54):
And Brian, let me just point out something on that
point there. It's really important and hardly anybody thinks about this.
They will lay in the future, but right now they
it's not on the radar. If the Biden administration had
taken the advice of then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff Martin Milly in November twenty twenty two, it
said because of the successes that Ukraine had had then

(02:25:14):
that that was the perfect time to negotiate from a
position of strength. Then the Russians were at their weakest.
They would never be weaker than they were at that time.
He said, they could have gotten a good deal, but
the Biden administration and Zelenski said no, we're going to
keep fighting. As a result of that, they did the
twenty twenty three offensive, which literally destroyed that bread basket,
and now it's sowed with millions of minds that are

(02:25:35):
going to take probably decades to undo, and it's going
to be a long time before that bread basket starts
producing them.

Speaker 2 (02:25:41):
To the level it did. And you know that is
so heartbreaking, those land mines and anti personnel minds. I
just it seems to be some sort of Geneva Convention
violation when it comes to those things. And I mean, hell,
they're still blowing up in Vietnam from the conflict, right,
So what do you know? We've talked about this before,
and I think my listeners are well aware the Russians

(02:26:03):
have controlled the Crimea region formerly part of Ukraine but
filled largely with Russian and Russian supporting, Russian leaning, Russian
aligning population. So they're not unhappy necessarily be under Russian
control assuming and I think the way our discussion is

(02:26:23):
going here, we're talking about Ukraine having to give up
more land as a mechanism to resolve the conflict. Are
there areas like Crimea that we would be talking about
or they would be negotiating with where the people would
be more inclined and more desirous of living under a
Russian rule than the Ukrainian rule.

Speaker 21 (02:26:40):
Or Yeah, the demographics are really important in terms of
where these lines are and what the Russians are even seeking,
because they are only seeking areas where it's predominantly ethnic
Russians or Russian leaning people in the Ukraine side. But
the crime In side, if I'm not mistaken, it was
somewhere around ninety five percent Russians or ethnic Russians going back,

(02:27:02):
so that one was like the easiest one. The other
ones they're talking about now, Zaparija, Kirson, Luhans, Donetsk, those
are a majority of ethnic Russians, but not to the
extent as before. So whatever these lines get drawn, there
will be more percentage of people on the Ukraine side
that don't want to live under Russian control. And that's

(02:27:22):
going to be a part of the negotiations too, because
they've got to be able to migrate over to the
West if they don't want to live there, and then
those that do want to live there will remain well.

Speaker 2 (02:27:31):
As the ones that remain. And I keep thinking along
the lines of well, you know, if the if the
Chinese Communist Party came in and took over my neighborhood,
I might be inclined to, you know, wage my own
individual guerrilla war or independent war against those forces because
I don't believe in that philosophy. I don't want to
be controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Do you do

(02:27:53):
you see any of that sort of militarization of the
remaining Ukrainians if the Russians do take over other areas.

Speaker 21 (02:28:00):
Yeah, I have no doubts that there are those already
actively planning on doing that sort of thing and whatever
ends up in the Russian side, because I think that
they have the exactly the mentality you're talking about, that
they just will never be satisfied living under those conditions
and they'll just do whatever they can just to you know,
inflict a pain and a cost on the Russians as

(02:28:23):
far as they can see.

Speaker 2 (02:28:24):
I mean, there's no end date on that. It can
go a long time.

Speaker 21 (02:28:28):
And you may recall that before the invasion, the initial
invasion in February twenty two, there was a lot of
talk that, hey, the Ukraine side can't win a conventional
war against Russia.

Speaker 2 (02:28:38):
So they're already planning.

Speaker 21 (02:28:40):
With CIA help back then, by the way, it was
publicly reported that they're trying to help them foment and
start these you know, these kinds of gorilla activities inside
there that.

Speaker 2 (02:28:48):
Got shelved when they thought, oh wait a minute, we
actually did good on the battlefield.

Speaker 21 (02:28:52):
I doubt very seriously that there'll be any doubt that
a lot of people on that side, Whether the CIA
is involved this time, I don't know, because now Trump's
in charge, but there will be many, and certainly in
Ukraine that will do everything they can too, especially those
on the western side, will try to support that. I
suspect I don't know how big it will be, but
it's hard for me to imagine they would just say,
all right, let's just move on with their lives.

Speaker 2 (02:29:15):
Does the president really have any control over what the
CIA does?

Speaker 21 (02:29:18):
I just have to ask that. Daniel all right, Well,
ostensibly he does. He's putting his director in there. I'd
like to think that there is some but I can't
say that with the full throat at affirmative. I had
to insert that little joke there, if you don't mind.
A quick pivot over to now resigning FBI Director Christopher
Ray and his comments on sixty minutes the other day

(02:29:39):
about China and the threat the Chinese Communist Party poses
talking about, you know, pre positioning on America's civilian infrastructure,
lying in wait for those networks to be in a
position to wreak havoc and inflict real world harm at
a time and place of their choosing, noting that they
have infiltrated and it's been documented. I've read multiple articles
in so of you water treatment plan, transportation systems, he said.

(02:30:01):
We're talking about our energy sector, the electric grid, natural
gas pipelines, as well as targeting of our communications systems
with that most recent virus salt typhoon as I stare
upon and hate to draw a parallel with Los Angeles
and the gross and competence of elected officials out there
and not doing anything they promised to do by way
of fire breaks and you know, im creve water supplies

(02:30:26):
and lessening the fire risk.

Speaker 2 (02:30:27):
We know this is a problem. It's well documented. An
FBI director raise out there and telling the world about it.
We've goten other reports recently from the FBI and the
DHS warning about you know, copycat attacks and attacks on
our infrastructure. Do you have any faith that they're actually
trying to get ahead of the problem and doing something
to batten down our hatches and our resources to prevent
this from happening or otherwise getting any virus or hacks

(02:30:51):
or attacks out of our systems. Well, look, I mean,
I will just look on the broadside first.

Speaker 21 (02:30:57):
I certainly hope that the incoming Trump administration will actually
do something, but gracious, I mean my first comment was like,
wait a minute, you're telling me that you on the
way out the door know about all this stuff, and
what have you.

Speaker 2 (02:31:09):
Done about it? I mean, we're not talking about one
or two things possibly.

Speaker 21 (02:31:13):
I mean, there was a big laundry list, and so
my obvious question is, why the hell did you not
do anything to resolve this issue?

Speaker 2 (02:31:19):
Why you've had the power to do so.

Speaker 21 (02:31:21):
So, if the problem is as big as he says
it is, then there needs to be some hearings to
find out why you didn't do anything about it and
what has been the plan so far. You know, we
don't know obviously from outside here. It's very plausible because
it's logical from the Chinese perspective that if you know,
there's possibility, because Biden three times in his administration said yes,

(02:31:43):
if China takes Taiwan, we will fight China for it.
So then their minds are going, Okay, then we're going
to prepare for war, and that could mean domestic you know,
trojan attacks, however you want to characterize them.

Speaker 2 (02:31:54):
And so it's logical they would do that, but.

Speaker 21 (02:31:56):
It should also be freaking logical that we would see
that potential and be on the extra care to find
and root out those kinds of things.

Speaker 2 (02:32:05):
And that's where I have a big problem, and that's
where I do too, and that's why I drew the
parallel with Los Angeles. I mean, they've been talking about
these fires for years and years. There had been multiple fires,
years and years. They had passed billions and billions of
dollars of money in budgets to deal specifically with the
forestry work and and and cleaning up the mess and
everything out there, only to not do it. So you know,

(02:32:27):
I'm seeing this is a huge red flag and I
can only pray to God with very little hope that
they're actually trying to get ahead of it and and
and stop it.

Speaker 21 (02:32:37):
And then it's certainly let's hope that the Trump administration
does two things. Number One, to find out what the
true scope of the threat is, take action to get
rid of it, and then also to not follow the
path of the previous administration and get us into a
war with China that cannot be won. And while defending
our interest in rockets and our freedoms everywhere else, we

(02:32:58):
don't have to get into a war with China to
remain free.

Speaker 2 (02:33:00):
I'll just tell you that categorically, and I agree with
you on that as I read the headline from Fox News,
China directs largest military build up since nineteen thirties Nazi Germany.
Just put an exclamation point on it there. Daniel Daniel,
