Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Five oh five, five k r C.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
T Talktations Suesday, Happy Tuesday, a vacation.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
And that's the way the news goes.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hey, good morning, Happy Tuesday. Brion Thomas here. Good to
see Joe Strekkers, I get producer in there, and great
to see Brigham Accounts on the lineup seven oh five
with Hudson Institute. Bringham account in studio. Apparently been very
busy since November. What has he been up to and
the Trump transition and policy? And it's the boy. Those
tariffs didn't take long to have an effect, did they.

(00:54):
It was it less than twenty four hours. Chuck up
a couple of more hashtags in the win column for
Donald Trump. Of course we can talk about that. Speaking
of talking, I love to hear from you five one three, seven,
eight hundred eighty two to three talk Don five fifty
on your AT and T phones. Still some ongoing negotiations

(01:15):
with the Chinese, who similarly retaliated. But I just I
can't believe that it some you know, measure of resolution
was negotiated so quickly. Mexico caves first, and then on
the heels of that, Trudeau, following an initial phone call
with Donald Trump, then capitulates and provides Trump with some
of the things he'd been asking for. Remember, the point

(01:37):
of these tariffs was to stop ventanyl and illegal immigrants,
and that's exactly what the measures are that the that
they agreed to will have some impact on. Of course,
I don't think it's going to have a complete one
hundred percent effect of stopping ventanyl and illegal immigrants, but
all the help we can get, and that's what we're
getting from both Mexico and Canada in return for a

(01:58):
thirty day reprieve so everyone can see if they maybe
hammer out the details, see if they actually make good
on their promises. Not the only developments in so far
as Trump's tariffs and negotiations with other countries are going,
all of which seem to be inhering to our benefit
collectively with wins in the Trump column. It is Tuesday,

(02:19):
which means eight point five. Inside Scoop with Bright Barton
News Today Texas Border Associate Editor Bob Price, we'll talk
about ice deportations protests against them, which I told you
all along we're gonna come. I don't think i'm pressing
in pointing out earlier. I guess around the election before
the election I mentioned anyway, if Donald Trump gets elected,

(02:42):
then well Donald Trump got elected. Now we can anticipate
and what would that be massive protests in the streets
by those who are protesting deportations. Some may observe, and
I think rightfully so those areas and those protesters might
be ripe targets for immigration customs officials to sort of

(03:03):
scan pay attention to. We do a facial recognition software.
Now question how many of the protesters were wearing masks
to cover up their faces so they cannot be recognized
with facial recognition software. But yeah, they shut down streets
out in Los Angeles. Apparently Los Angeles Police department walked
away from the whole thing and let them get away
with it. But you can expect a lot more of that.

(03:23):
And again, I don't think I'm going out on a
limb saying that it has already happened. So we'll talk deportations,
We'll talk protests, We'll talk about the role of DEEI
and whether and did they have any role in the
black Hawk American Airlines mid air collision. Some people say

(03:44):
it is and I know earlier on there was a
widely circulated a series of memes saying that the pilot
of that Blackhawk helicopter was some transgender woman, and she
was out on social media the next day waving around
goling I'm not dead, I'm not dead yet. It wasn't me.
And so some corrections that to be issued. Don't be

(04:05):
quick to it. I just immediately think that what you've
seen on the Internet is true, even if it fits
your own political narrative. That's actually the most dangerous thing.
Democrats do it all the time. Oh, we've been living
with lies about Donald Trump. And they're recirculating claims about
Donald Trump now for years and years and years, and
they get so thoroughly convinced. They've seen it so many

(04:27):
times that they just immediately hold it as gospel truth,
and it isn't. Try to stay out of your echo
chamber and do a little bit of research on your own.
You may find the truth does exist out there, it
just doesn't quickly and readily present itself to us. So anyhow,
Bob will talk about that maybe there have been developments

(04:48):
over the last day that I'm not aware of, but
I haven't really seen anything. But we'll see. And I
know de guy's not good. It's not good for our
American military, and nothing can convince me to the contrary.
People break things should be the core mission American military.
Give them the best supplies, best equipment, train them to
be hardcore fighters so they can protect us from threats

(05:09):
both domestic and foreign. That's what it's all about. It's
not a big indoctrination camp, except to the extent you're
indoctrinated to be one cohesive unit without breaking it down
into subcategories of you know whether which which little box
you check one box, soldier check, effective, fighter check period

(05:30):
Deep dive Daniel Davis every Tuesday eight thirty Today the
latest on Ukraine and will Tulsey and Patel be confirmed?
Strong opinions on that one. The retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel
Davis does, and I get a kick out of the
conversations I have with him, and I hope you do
as well. Remember podcast at you five Caresey dot com
when you can't listen live. Yesterday Christopher Smitherman and the

(05:50):
smither Event also Todd Sledge from the Cincinnida about some
cool things happening at our local VA hospitals expanding providing
better services. Monday Monday with Brian James as well podcast again.
If if you have Caresy dot com get try hear
Media app while you're over there. Should do that. And
I have condolences to the family of Bill hemm Or.

(06:12):
His father passed away the other day. And I've known
Bill for a long long time, and in fact I
remember his dad because Bill and I used to hang
out together when we were in elementary school. I really
got a quality guy. So sad to learn that he
passed away. But condolences to the Hammer family. So, oh,
listener lunches tomorrow. I'm getting some housekeeping out of the way.

(06:36):
Listener lunch is going to be a little Miami Brewer
if you can make it. Eleven thirty is a time.
We've been there quite a few times and really enjoy it.
So that's Milford twenty eight south off of two seventy fives.
That's the way I get there. You may have an
alternative route, but it's right there at twenty eight and
fifty if I recall correctly. Nice spot. Hope to see
a listener lunch a lot of good time. Fellowship's great

(06:56):
and I'm looking forward to my cribbage game at the
tail end of the lunch with cribbage, Mike. If you're
out there, Mike, bring your egg game. Five one three,
seven hundred, eight hundred two to three. Talked to a
town five fifty on AT and T phones. I don't
feel like diving on into the tariff situation yet. But again,
when column for Donald Trump, we can talk about that

(07:16):
a little more fully in detail in the six o'clock hour,
or if you want to talk about it right away,
give me a call. A couple of things I did
want to bring out. First off, someone had called yesterday
UH to ask about the Ohio governor race, and I
rattled off whole bunch of names, some of whom have
already declared. Most of the names will seem familiar with you.

(07:38):
Viva Grandma Simmy hasn't formally entered a race yet, but
apparently he is way ahead. There's two polls out which
show Vva Gramma Swimmy is just walking away with it
and he's not even announced formally he's going to run
for Ohio governor. WPA intelligence survey of a high Republican
primary voter is conducted on behalf of the Club for
Growth pack has Rama Swimmy as the far away ahead

(08:01):
leader fifty seven percent of the vote, behind him a
distant second David Yost Ohio State Attorney General David Yost
twenty six percent, coming in third. Presently Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague.
Only ten percent of those polled remain undecided. Survey found
Ramaswimmy wins seventy percent of those who consider themselves very conservative,

(08:24):
Yost twenty two percent in that category. Ramaswimmy gets sixty
six percent of the voters that have a very favorable
image of President Donald Trump, and that will be seventy
six percent of those polled have a very favorable opinion
Vive gets a sizable majority of those folks. Ramaswimmy forty

(08:45):
five point lead over Yost among those voters who have
heard of him and Yost, and fifty two points ahead
against Yost among voters who have opinions of the two
Ohio potential Republican gubernatorial candidates. They also say if the
poll asked I guess if Trump were to endorse Ramaswimmy,
his lead could surge by ten points. A separate poll

(09:11):
done by Fabrizio Lee and Associates, No Never heard of him,
says Ramaswimmy has a huge lead over Ghost fifty two
percent of Republican voters in a primary ballot, Ghost coming
in second at eighteen. So, you know, personally, I'll find
this too shocking. I'm a fan of eve A Gramma
Swimmy ever since I think I talked with him about

(09:32):
his book Woke In. I think he's got some good ideas,
very conservative and a wildly successful businessman, and kind of
put him in that doge category, right, And in unrelated news,
this was you know, I there's some good people out there.
And I think of the nine to eleven attack, when

(09:56):
those brave passengers on the plane, remember was it Let's Roll,
and they ended up securing that air craft and prevented
it from flying into I believe it was the Pentagon
that he was heading for. But they lost their lives,
but they were able to bring the plane down in
an unpopulated area. Well, there are heroes all around us,

(10:18):
and it's described as the swift actions of four tactically
trained and they refer to themselves as banned dads. Remember
that one time in band camp, Joe, These are banned dads.
They helped prevent a tragedy after they took down an
active shooter who opened fire at a band competition in
Texas passing. The police department confirmed that an eighty three

(10:41):
year old guy named Dennis Brandle He's been charged with
a aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after opening fire
at a high school band competition. Happened on Sunday six pm,
pasadying an independent school district in Angleton Independent School. I
guess we're doing a competition or something. Elderly guy identified

(11:03):
as his brandal idiot walked into the entrance to the
auditorium this after the drum competition, carrying a handgun when
he opened fire. One shot hit the door, another hit
a twenty six year old in the shoulder. Twenty six
year old described as a percussion technical consultant for the
Angleton High School taking to Houston Hospital, expected to make

(11:26):
full recovery, which is wonderful. But right after the guy
fired the gun, he was tackled by one of the
parents in the audience. Pasadena Police, a civilian, and several
Good Samaritans immediately apprehended the suspect. Court of local news
air Fox twenty six, the Heroes Air Force veteran Abram Trevino,

(11:48):
Army veteran Adam mccurrow, Marine veteran Efrine Castilio, and Houston
Police Department sergeant Joe Sanchez heroes all. Trevino and Crow
both surf for thirteen years because still a surf for
four and Sanchez was working for the Houston Police Department.
He's been there for thirty two years. Carol speaking with

(12:08):
local news. As soon as everyone was screaming and yelling,
gun shots fired, joined myself, looked at each other and
ran straight to the door. By the time we got inside,
Paulo and Abram were right behind us as a band
dad team. Sanchez said, I grabbed his arm while Adams
took the gun out. Once the gun was removed from
his hands, we had no handcuff, so I took my

(12:29):
belt off and made a handcuff. They were strained him
until the cops showed up. Trevina said, I think anybody
with our collective backgrounds would just do that just out
of nature. They don't know the motive for the shooting.
They're confident that the actions of those by pitch standards, though,
proved to be truly heroic, and who can argue against that.

(12:49):
Houston Police Department praised the Rowan Sanchez thanking for his
selfless act when dangers struck. HPD Sergeant Joe Sanchez didn't
hesitate while attempting a banded competition or attending a band
competition in Pasadena School. Sergeant Sanchez was among those who
quickly stepped up to protect lives. Brandle would be shooter,

(13:11):
the murderer. Shooter not affiliated with the band contest being investigated.
Police said. Brandall claim he was being chased by someone
and then he was afraid he and his wife would
be killed. No mention on whether he was taken off
to the hospital for evaluation. Anyway, Cheers to the local

(13:32):
heroes and thank god they're in among our community. Five
eighteen five k CD talk stations stick around. Feel free
to call. I'd love to hear Frank, you got something
to say of you right back.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Is your New Year's resolution to stop.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Let's see here. Channel nines Weather forecast cloudie star today,
got mostly cloudy skies later this afternoon as well. Forty
six for the high overnight low of thirty with mostly
cloudy skies overcast stage mornow showers in the afternoon with
a high on thirty seven down to thirty six. Overnight
rain is likely, storms are possible. Then Thursday we'll have

(14:12):
showers in the morning, rain and a cold front says
moving out eventually, okay you at least by springtime. Fifty
five will be the high on Thursday. Right now, forty
two degrees at fifty five care seasons dog station it

(14:33):
is five to twenty two of the five car seat
dog station.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Day.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Even grocery shopping lately, do you find the prices to
just be unbelievably outrageous. You buy eggs by any chance,
price of bef through the roof too. I just can't
get over the price of groceries these days. And something
I my wife and going to go every weekend at
the grocery store. So I pay really close attention to
these things. And you you gotta wonder when and no

(15:01):
pun intended, look at maybe pun and tending when the
chickens come home to roost. Of all places, waffle house,
the staple that is waffle house, aren't all the waffle
house is designed exactly the same. So whichever waffle house
you're sitting in, you feel like you're in the one
that's in your hometown regardless. And I mean I've been
to waffle House maybe like three times in my entire lives,
but I know people are huge fans of them. Bottom

(15:24):
line is they've added a fifty cent surcharge per egg
to all the menu items that have eggs corn to
the waffle House in the release yesterday, the continuing egg
shortage caused by bird flu has caused a dramatic increase
in egg prices. Customers and restaurants are being forced to
make different decisions. Of course, are difficult decisions, yet raising prices,

(15:48):
there's only so much you can eat by way of
your profit margin. Restaurants have very paltry profit margins to
start with. You're gonna adjust egg prices based on market
conditions going forwardward, and based upon the reporting, you can
probably expect the fifty cent surcharge to go up to
like seventy five cents, maybe even more. Average price of

(16:09):
a dozen eggs since December has climbed to four dollars
and fifteen cents, which seems like a bargain to me
given what we paid for eggs the other day. Agriculture
Department is predicting a twenty percent price increase in this year,
not going down, going up, so siated Press also reporting
that they can expect egg prices to keep climbing up,

(16:31):
or we rather can expect egg prices to keep climbing
well passed Easter, when, of course, the demand is at
its highest. Ap reported the bird flu is forcing farmers
to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing USS egg
prices to more than double the cost from twenty twenty three,
and in their words, it appears there may be no

(16:52):
relief in sight given the surge and demand. The sure approaches.
You said, anytime the virus is not on the poultry farm,
the entire flows slaughter to help limit the virus spread.
And with massive egg farms routinely housing more than one
million chickens, just a few insections infections can cause a
supply crunch. Of course, if you've been to your local

(17:14):
grocery store and yeah, we go to Kroger or the
egg section, they got signs up apologizing for the shortage.
Some people are limiting the number of eggs you can
actually buy at any given grocery visit. But here's one.
Thank god, we're not in Elmira New York. Part of
the reporting on this, they refer to them a place
called Ann's Pancakes and Elmira local news they're talking to

(17:38):
the owner, guy named Jared Fish. He said, we get
most of our food from Performance Food Group. They've gone
up substantially. I was doing a little price looking back
in July of twenty twenty three. We paid ninety nine
cents a dozen for eggs, and now they're right around
eight dollars a dozen for eggs. Vendor wives, jeez, you

(18:04):
get to get a handle on that bird flu. And
that's one of those things that's out of everybody's hands.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Donald Trump can't lay hands on the egg crisis and
solve that. Coming up local stories, Alternatively, your phone calls.

selection process not certain. They say. One challenge is assembling
a panel that can commit to two weeks of testimony,
which is what they expect. Fox nineteenth Legal analyst Mike

(22:29):
Allen had this to say, it's the most important criminal
charge that there could be a capital case for murder. Also,
normally in a felony case, you've got twelve peremptory challenges,
which is a challenge where the lawyers for either side
can kick somebody off the jury for any reason whatsoever,
as long as it's not racial in nature. Apparently, the
selected jurors will be hearing witnesses and seeing body camera

(22:52):
footage from the evening. May eleventh officer said they were
called to the home in the twenty sixth hentd Lolock

Champs inside Scoop Tuesday at eighty five David Deep Dive
at eight thirty to a full hours bring him a
count from the Hudson In Student studio. We'll talk a
lot about Trump's transition policy and what he's been up to,
which I think will be of interest to the listeners. Also,

(26:12):
typically interested listeners stack as stupid, although you can call
if you'd like. A seven to eleven customer used a
banana to batter a store clerk. This, according to Florida Police,
twenty two year old Keelavia Turner god in what do

(26:33):
they described as a verbal altercation with the thirty year
old female worker, and the women exchanged quote derogatory comments
toward each other close quote that's in the police report.
At one point, Turner became irate, picked up a banana
from the cashier, countering through the banana at the victim's face,
fruit hit the employee on the cheek bone left of
minor abrasion. According to investigators, banana was not seized as evidence. However,

(26:59):
Turner arrest for battery booked into the county gentle misdemeanor account.
Police records list her as employed as Baby Dolls, described
as a Clearwater gentlemen's club located four miles from the
aforementioned seven to eleven where the banana incident occurred. She
says she thing held out bound without bond for violating

(27:20):
probation in connection with grand theft conviction in a neighboring county.
She's still eight hundred dollars worth of merchandise from a
Walmart in connection with that felony case. Turner's previously been
cited for failing a pre trial and intervention program, as
well as for not performing seventy five hours of community
service or paying court fines. Also recently arrested for resisting

(27:42):
and giving cops a false name when they responded to
a trespass call at Baby Dolls, the gentleman's club. She's
free on one thousand dollars bond in that case when
she was charged with the banana battery. Interesting facial expression there.
Joseph and you may have heard of this case, and

(28:06):
I don't need to go into all the details, but
a Philadelphia medical examiner a medical examiner has reversed as
suicide ruling one suicide ruling that was upheld by former
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Sapiro in the twenty eleven death
of a teacher who was found with twenty stab wounds.

(28:32):
Her family's been fighting for more than a decade to
overturn the medical examiner's ruling that she committed suicide in
her locked department in Northwest Philly. Doctor Marlon Osborne it's
my professional opinion Ellen's manner of death should be designated
as something other than suicide. Josh Sapiro, Democrat, served as

(28:53):
the Attorney General, reviewed the case when Greenberg's family sued
the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's office, and his team upheld suicide
rolling back in February of twenty two. However, there apparently
was revealed to be a personal connection between Shapiro and
potential witnesses in the case. It's according to information provided

(29:14):
by this family's lawyer. Shapiro ultimately recused himself from the
case after the allegations came to like calling the claims unfounded,
but acknowledging that they created the appearance of a conflict
of interest. Yeah, how does one stab themselves twenty times?
And actually the coroner determined that one of the stab
wounds happened after she was already dead. Let's get over

(29:38):
the phone. See what Bobby's got to say today. Bobby,
welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Tuesday to you, Happy Tuesday,
you my brother.

Speaker 8 (29:45):
I just wanted to mention we got a two year
anniversary for East Palestine and a lot of dignitaries. It'll
be going up there.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
And Jade Vance was there yesterday.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Yeah, they're trying to pull ten pound vacuum and you
sack with the vice president, So that's good.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
There's also a new lawsuit. There's a whole bunch of
lawsuits floating around on that one, but there's a new
one because of the chemical exposure from all those toxic
chemicals that came out, and they have seven wrongful death
claims have now been filed against Norfolk Southern, including the
death of a one week old baby.

Speaker 8 (30:24):
Well, when they cut all that on fire, it just
emits dioxen. Yeah, well we all knew that two years
ago when I was up there k.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Well, and according to the allegations in the lawsuit and
investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board, they determined that
that vent and burn operation was not necessary because there
was evidence that the railroad ignored that the tank cars
were starting to cool off and would not have exploded.
So it seemed like a strange way of dealing with

(30:57):
the situation at the time because that vinyl color I'd
burned off and all those toxins from the plastics went
all over the place, and it was just a disaster,
unmitigated disaster.

Idiots doing idiot things because their idiots pretty much summon
it up. Joe Strecker, Ashton. Jonathan Mann twenty four years old,
now facing charge of a manslaughter and second degree felony
and possession purchase transfer ownership of dangerous weapons by a
Category two restricted person. It was Sunday when officers with
the United Unified Police Department got a call that a

(34:41):
man had been shot in the chest. They showed up
with the scene on South Charlotte Avenue found a man
lying unresponsive on the ground of a garage with a
gunshot wound to his chest. Taking an area hospital, died
of his injuries. Officers noticed the smell of burnt marijuana
in the garage and talked to this Jonathan question Jonathan Mann,

(35:02):
who said he was with the victim when he was shot.
Reportedly telling officers that he and the victim were smoking
weed in the kitchen, talking about guns and playing video games.
They went to the garage so they could talk more
about talk more without waking anyone in the house. They
ended up handling two different guns handguns, and when the

(35:24):
victim allegedly told man he could dodge a bullet, they
unloaded each gun. Man pointed the gun to the victim
and pulled the trigger. Victim tried to jump out of
the way to prove he could move before the trigger
was pulled. They repeated this about six times to reset
the trigger. Man said he would cycle the slide on

(35:44):
the handgun. On the final time, however, the gun fired
instruct the victim in the chest. Victim told man to
call nine to one. One. Man attempted to provide him
aid until authorities arrived. Search warrant obtained in the residents
They found two handguns, AMMO handgun magazines. Also found drug paraffine.
You're consistent with marijuana.

Jesus Wheeze, Detroit, lah Michigan. A woman allegedly crashed into
an utterly man, killing him because she was watching TikTok
videos on her phone while driving. What court records say,
twenty year old Murriska Nun struck and killed the eighty
one year old Dean Chadborn with her car while he

(36:30):
was walking along the side of the road. Happened September
last year. None initially told police that she not see
this guy, and then her phone was in her lap
at the time of the time of the collision. Further
investigation into her phone data, though, revealed that she was
actually on TikTok in the moments before the crash, and
then she later admitted to investigators that yes, she was
watching TikTok when she hit Chadborn. Why are you doing that?

(36:53):
First responders took him to the hospital, but he died
forty five minutes after the impact. Hey, Joe, I think
this one merits the bubbling Bonga stupidity. A female Chinese
influencer has been urging men to wear Adam's Apple covers

(37:15):
for the purposes of highlighting gender inequality and to promote
women's rights. A person known as ah Meal close enough
on Chinese social media, I'll just read this recently sparked
a bizarre craze in her home country, urging her male
friends wear Adam's Apple covers to protect what she described

(37:37):
as a sensitive area of the male body, in the
same way that women wear bras to conceal their breasts.
I thought bras were mainly for support. Whatever, Joe, do
you require support for your Adam's Apple? Is that what

(37:58):
that thing is around your neck?

Speaker 5 (38:01):
Now?

Speaker 1 (38:01):
We know? Says Proposed as a unique way to empower
women and shine a light on gender inequality in China,
this initiative apparently went viral and spurred the production and
sale of course of Adam's Apple covers, accord to the
South China Morning Post newspaper. The also a popular each

(38:24):
e commerce platform that sells a variety of Adams Apple
bras made from leather, lace, and wool. A cover inspired
by a pig's snout currently the most popular, with over
seven thousand items sold on the platform. If you build it,
there are stupid people out there who will buy it.

Brig McColl in one hour from now in studio from
the Hudson Institute, We're gonna be talking about Trump's policy
and obviously seem to be working a lot of lamentation

(40:07):
from the left, and you know, I don't know how
he can be upset about all this stuff that's actually
working for the American people, you know, making good on
exactly what he ran on. I know I'm not the
first person to observe that, But go back on the
campaign trail and listen to what Donald Trump claimed you
wanted to do. Then he gets elected, He won the
popular vote, he won all the swing states. I guess
people liked what he was saying and was promising to do.

(40:33):
Willing to overlook all the problems and downsides that we've
been had, you know, just constantly in our ears for
years and years. No, we're going to put all that aside.
We're going to take him with all his wards because
what he is offering is well good for the American people.
And I did anybody ever figure out what Kamala Harris

(40:55):
was offering? I'm still confused. Then again, most of what
came out of her mouth was rather confusing word salad
sandwiches or word salads. So but bring them account on

to those live podcasts at fifty five KRECEE dot com.

(41:38):
All right, so let's talk about inroads. First they said no,
and then they immediately turned around and said yes. Donald
Trump announced he's pausing tariffs on Mexico for thirty days.
President Claudia Scheinbaum in Mexico agreed to immediately send ten
thousand soldiers to the southern border to help prevent drug trafficking.
Ten thousand troops in return for the one month's stay

(42:02):
on on the tariffs. Made the announcement on social media
yesterday morning, twelve hours before the tariffs were set to
take effect. Trump and Scheinbaum spoke on the phone yesterday
and agreed that Mexico will do more to combat drug
trafficking here in the United States and step up efforts
to block the flow of those drugs into our country.
And I guess in return, Donald Trump has agreed to

(42:24):
help stop the flow of firearms into Mexico. I suppose
if you're overwhelmed dealing with people trying to come into
the country illegally, it's a little difficult to navigate and
control the issues of what's flowing in from our country
into THEIRS illegally. Shinebaum also set officials with the US
and Mexico. We're beginning talks on wider trade and security issues.

(42:46):
So this is the beginning of a longer set of
discussions between the two countries. Trump confirmed on social media.
He said the conversation was, and his words, very friendly.
I spoke with President Claudia Scheinbaum of Mexico. It was
a very friendly conversation where she agreed to immediately supply
ten thousand Mexican soldiers on the borders separating Mexico in

(43:08):
the United States. They will specifically designate it to stop
the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into our country.
We further agreed to immediately pause in the anticipated terrors
for a month period, during which we will have negotiations
headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubo, Treasury Secretary of
Scott descent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik, along with

(43:30):
high level representatives in Mexico. He said, look forward to
participating those negotiations with President Steinbaum, and we will attempt
to achieve a deal between our two countries. Huh, well,
how about that. It didn't take long. Did you feel
the sting of a twenty five percent increase on tequila? No,
it didn't happen. And I'm not saying this is done

(43:54):
and over with. I'm not saying this deal won't cave
and fall apart based upon something that happens during the negotiations,
but it certainly bore quick fruit go north to Canada also,
who initially said no and was going to retaliate it
with comparable tariffs. Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, at least
for the moment, also cave the Trump's demands a crackdown

(44:17):
on fentanyl trafficking as well as reinforce the Canadian US border.
Judea announced on his own ex post yesterday in the afternoon,
I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada
is implementing our one point three billion border plan, reinforcing
the border with new choppers, technology personnel, enhanced coordination with

(44:42):
our American partners, increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl.
H He continued, saying that nearly ten thousand frontline personnel
are and will be working on protecting the border. He
also is appointing a fent are. I don't know how
much fruit that's going to bear, but hey, having someone

(45:03):
in charge of the fentanyl flow not a bad thing.
It's a step in the right direction. It's also a
nice thing to know that they're cooperating. I mean, we've
always viewed Canada as a friendly, positive neighbor. You know,
many people often refer to it as the fifty first state.
Donald Trump's been doing a lot of that lately, getting
them in a little bit of trouble. But they're always friends.
Why wouldn't they cooperate with us prior to the Trump administration.

(45:28):
It's just beyond me how. I guess they just conceding
to the Biden administration's open border policies. If you don't
want cooperation here on the United States side, well you
don't get it from Canada. You have to ask or
in this particular case, you have to threaten them with tariffs,

(45:48):
said Trudeau. Added that the cartels will be designated as terrorists,
which is what we've just recently done, also saying the
US border will be under twenty four to seven watch
and Canada US Joint Strikeforce will be launched to combat
organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. He said, I have

(46:11):
also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl.
We'll be backing it with a two hundred million dollars
proposed tariffs will be paused for at least thirty days
while we work together. It worked well, what more can

(46:37):
you say? El Salvador, and we can claim this one's
a victory. It's a rather weird proposal from l Salvador's president,
Naib mcayley. He has offered to take in all illegal
immigrants into his country, at least those are the ones
that have been have committed crimes and of any nationality.
If they're facing deportation from the United States, he said,

(47:00):
he'll book them into his country's prison system in exchange
for payment. So we have offered the United States of
America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.
We are willing to take in only convicted criminals, including
convicted US citizens, into our mega prison in exchange for

(47:25):
a fee. The f he would be relatively low for
the US, but significant for US, making our entire prison
system sustainable. That's a rather odd offer, isn't it. Marco Rubia,
Salvadorian President, has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary,

(47:46):
he said it twice, migratory agreement anywhere in the world.
Speaking of the reporters, Rubia said, we can send them
and we will put them in his jails. And he's
also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently
in custody and serving their sentences in the United States,
even though they are US citizens or legal residents. However,

(48:08):
it is not legal to deport US citizens to a
foreign country, so kind of overstepping is authority there. US
officials said the Troupe administration has no plans to deport
American citizens, but did note the significance of the l
Salvadorian President's offered. It could, potentially, they say, be an

(48:33):
option for Venezuelan gang members who've been convicted in the
United States and Venezuela ultimately refuses to accept them, although
Venezuela's already conceded that they will accept migrants deporter from
our country who are of Venezuelan and that was yet
another concession Donald Trump got Salvadoran presidency would also take
back all Salvadorian MS thirteen gang members in the United

(48:56):
States illegally, and promised to accept and in car sate
criminal illegal aliens from any country, especially those affiliated with
Venezuela as trade the Aragua gang. Wow. I guess I'm
just kind of wondering what kind of human rights the

(49:16):
venas are the El Salvadorian prison detainees have. Does anyone
think this this mega prism, as he described it as
like a great place to actually be imprisoned or incarcerated.
I don't know. Midnight Express the movie comes to mind

AY twenty one on a Tuesday Tomorrow, first Wednesday of
the month, Listener to lunch Little Miami Brewing Company in Milford.
Great place to go, and I hope to see you
there and someone who I think is coming he said
he was going to be there if he can accept
the challenge. Welcome back, my submarine friend, Cribbage Mike. Always
great to hear from you.

Speaker 11 (52:25):
Well, sure, yes, sir, we'll be there, cribbage board in tow.
You can bet on it.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Awesome. Always enjoy that wonderful end of the lunch.

Speaker 11 (52:34):
And as you mentioned time and time again, the fellowship
is the best and probably the number one thing that
I totally look forward to each month. Oh yeah, but
a very close second. There are so many locations that
you and your staff have picked that I probably never
would have even thought to go to. And this is
another classic example, the Little Miami Brewing Company. The first

(52:55):
time I went was at listener Lunch My Life, and
I have been back several times since because there's nothing
better than sitting out there in their outdoor venue along
the river on a spring or summer or even a
fall afternoon. And my go to is those made order pizzas.
They're they're the best. Yeah, and I'm already got one
on the plan for tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
I'm sure you do. And they are tasty, so maybe
maybe won't be able to sit outside tomorrow it's going
to be thirty yeah, yeah, yesterday though, I'll look at
you out there from inside the venue in a way
that ue there you go.

Speaker 11 (53:28):
I guess my theme for today is the Democrats still
just don't get it. We've had multiple examples since the election,
whether it be from the media or other d n
C type people. But I don't know if you've got
a chance to see it. But this past weekend they
had the d n C chair National Convention where they
elected the new DNC Chair and all their sub committees.

(53:51):
And a perfect example just in the last segment when
you listed all the substantive things that have occurred just
in the past two weeks, and I couldn't help but
notice with Ptex at the border yesterday, he has now
tied in one week, he has now tied Kamala Harris
for a number of border visits that she did in
four years.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
That's an interesting statistic when you think about it, Mike.

Speaker 11 (54:13):
So, they had their convention right outside at National Harbor,
right outside DC there big MGM Casino, and I swear
it replicated the bar Wars at Stars Starsar I seen
at Star Wars.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
The first one, which was renumbered later in the I
don't follow Star Wars, and I haven't for years and years.
I saw the original and that was the original, right, yes,
nineteen seventy six or whatever. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 11 (54:39):
So they've had their losses, they've had four months to
lick their wounds, and still the hard hitting journalist from MSNBC,
Jonathan kpe Part was the was the moderator, and he
had these fifteen people that are running for the chair.
First question, right out of the box, he wanted to
show a hands to how many people thought misogyny and
racism played u a large factor in the fact that

(55:01):
Kamala Air everybody raised her hand. Even though the lights
were dim in the audience, you could see every handler's up.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
How do you account for the I mean the significant,
not not majority numbers, but very significant numbers of Black
people who voted for Donald Trump, a lot more than
anybody expected, I imagine, And for the large number of
women who voted for Donald Trump. How do they explain
those folks away? And then there was a sizable number

(55:28):
of the Hispanic community that voted for Trump. I mean,
what what gives? Can't they see the statistics themselves.

Speaker 11 (55:36):
They just can't face reality because most of their stuff
is in hypothesis, you know, you know, it comes to
crashing down, you know, whether it be global warming, you know,
it just falls apart because there's nothing there there. And
then when they actually had this individual come to the
podium and they set up their bylaws for electing all
of their you know, sub chairs and committee members. There

(55:59):
was a by l that it had to be equal
number of male, female, and non binary people that made
up these different sub chairs. But what it was all
said and done, they elected a wait, white straight guy
as their new DNC chair. So yeah, and then just
keep it up, because if we keep doing what we're doing,
and like I said, nobody's got a crystal ball. The
last two weeks have been great. But if they just

(56:20):
if they want that's what they want to hang their
hat on, things are looking pretty good in twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Six, and I'm sure that panel will certainly be comprised
of the best and the brightest. They did they articulate
anything that they're planning on running on is not specifically
not yet, so they get the.

Speaker 11 (56:39):
Team they play line dancing. They had one of the
candidates get up and it was almost like watching American Idol.
You know, she sang her her what she was going
to bring to the DNC, She sang it.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Oh, okay, there you go, hitting the ground running. They
are well, they get in the back room and then
they can try to figuregure out what they can offer
the American people that the American people actually want. And
I think that's the biggest challenge. And I've heard talking
head after talking head on the right and most most
notably the left, basically acknowledging that they do not have

(57:14):
a going forward strategy. Their backbench is a little light
on talent that might draw votes. There's a huge problem
from them on that. I mean, what are they going
to run Gavin Newsom? I mean.

Speaker 5 (57:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Yeah, I don't know if.

Speaker 11 (57:30):
Josh Shapiro's even gonna want to want to even dip
that toe back in. I think that had a lot
of reason to do. Why you want to know part
of that VP ticket.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Yeah, Well, it's certainly an interesting time to be involved
in politics here in America, There's no question about it. Well,
we can at least enjoy this while it lasts, Mike,
and we are seeing some tremendous accomplishments that will benefit
to I think I provide a benefit to all people
here in the country. All it's that populist movement that
Trump is embraced, and I think we're going to see

(58:02):
some really good things. At least I'm trying to be
optimistic about that. It's been so long since I felt
even the slightest bit of optimism for the United States.
So thankfully it seems to have been stopped in its
tracks and we're moving back to what I would argue
is common sense. Thank you, Mike. I look forward to
seeing you tomorrow. Listener lunch little Miami Brewery. Everybody's invited,
and yeah, he's right. The fellowship is fantastic. You'll probably

(58:25):
meet people that you will become friends with. It's an
easy audience to serve, easy group of people to sit
down with. Just grab a seat, sit down at the
table with some folks you don't even know. Ask first,
but I'm sure you'll be invited to join the join lunch.
And you need to call cover since you've medical insurance
for less money and better coverage. Less money, better coverage.

(58:45):
And I implore small businesses and I know several small
businesses that do not pay for any part of their
employees' medical insurance. You know, you small business owner who
don't do that, you need to talk to Cover since
you might be able to improve your business this bottom line,
while also getting great coverage for your employees that they
can actually afford, including dollar one coverage. John Rouhman and

(59:07):
the team at Cover, since he does this every single
day and you can call him any time of the year,
get the process started to analyze where you are, what
point in life you are, what you need versus what
you probably have that really don't need that you're still
paying for, and come up with a better plan. Because
they work with a couple of one hundred different insurance companies,
have access to thousands of insurance policies, they create and

(59:28):
customize a package of insurance to best suit your needs.
It's tailor made to you and you'd end up saving
money while having this better coverage. And I know it
sounds hard to believe, which is why I say put
them to the test. It's no obligation. You've been initiating
the conversation and talking with them about it and letting
them calculate and cook the books and put together the
package and then you can say wow, oh wow, wow,

(59:50):
why didn't I do this sooner? Jeff will chime in
here any moment on email, reminding me how much he
loved what was he was able to do for his
employees at his business. He also got dental coverage through
he just kep. He keeps going back to the well
with cover since he just worked out so well for him,
So to initiate the conversation. It only takes some time.
There's no obligation to you. Five one three eight hundred

About it, who dot the.

Speaker 13 (01:02:08):
Yeah. And then and then they elected a white guy
as a leader. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
And then the isn't the coach here that that that
anti gun guy, David Hogg?

Speaker 13 (01:02:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
Yeah, well he's like the anti gun version of Greta Thunberg,
right anyhow, Yeah, great team they got. There is anybody
complaining about the white guys taking over? I was kind
of wondering. Criticism usually is a loving that the Republicans
side of the ledger quite often whatever happened to thee

(01:02:39):
I in so far as the heads of the leadership's concerned.
Mister Tuba, Welcome to the morning show, sir, and a
very happy Tuesday to you, sir.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Good morning. This is simply an observation, no solution or anything.
And bear in mind it is adolescent thinking. The Democrats
have convinced themselves that are the cool kids, and sometimes
they have convinced a goodly amount of the American public
of same, but not last November fifth, thank god. And

(01:03:12):
they've also managed to convince people that Republicans are generic parents.
And that's simply an observation. And I will simply say,
do not vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
I look forward to mister t he's great. He's think
he I think he tube is the Happy Birthday messaged
like more than three hundred people a year. So but
a real, real nice guy he is. And yeah, I
don't think they're the cool kids, you know. I mean
when when you look into these polls, and it's been
widely observed in the aftermath of the November election that

(01:03:51):
the polls didn't quite suggest Donald Trump was going to
do as well as he actually did. And I think
there was a lot of people out there in the
poll that concluded, if you like, for example, me, if
a polster called my number, I'm not inclined to participate
in a poll. I don't care if the pole is

(01:04:11):
going to take me only thirty seconds of my life,
or quite often they go on for quite a few minutes.
I don't want to spend the time of the poster online.
And with all the anti Trump banter and screaming and yelling,
you know, a lot of people were reluctant to even
admit that they were supporters of Trump. Oh you're one
of those evil Orange man people. You on these trumpord people.
They don't want to put up with that, so they

(01:04:32):
politely hung up or hung up without being polite, or
just refuse to answer the question, or maybe even lied
to give the impression that they were not Trump supporters.
So it ends up skewing the results. I mean, these
poles do rely on you being honest when you're answering
the question. So and yes, I do cite poles from
time to time quite often. I find them interesting, and

(01:04:53):
I don't believe all of them are completely broken, and
they do reveal trends. But you know, much of the
shock of the Democrats. You wake up on the day
after the election, you find out Donald Trump won the
popular vote when the polls suggested that may not happen.
So you know, there is common sense out there. I

(01:05:15):
truly believe this was an election about common sense. And
the Demos have gone so far off the rails in
terms of leaning over that far left fringe corner of
their party that they got caught up in it too,
that echo chamber. That's why they're in a state of
Denisle right now. They only talk amongst themselves. They don't
get an alternative point of view, and I guess they have,

(01:05:37):
you know, less of a profound appreciation for freedom and
liberty and maybe keeping the money that they earn in
their paychecks rather than have it liberated by the federal
government who goes and spends it on outlandish and crazy things.
I mean the list of those outlandish and crazy things.
I mean, if you got that out to the general public,
I think the vast majority of people have, regardless of

(01:05:58):
political stripes, to be like what I went to work
to pay for this? Why exactly we're building borders or
we're building walls in other countries to help other countries
with border security, yet ignoring our own shrimp on treadmill
like it needed that one again. Yeah, you paid for
that study, and you also created a dangerous, deadly pandemic

(01:06:20):
in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That was compliments to
your taxpayer dollars as well. Wonderful. How's that return on
investment working out for you? Six thirty eight right now?
Fifty five ks DE talk station. Here's one with a
great return on investment. Nice segue, Brian A USA installation,
the best ROI of any product out there, only ninety
nine dollars a month interest free. You probably will save

(01:06:41):
more than that with the energy savings on your now
heating bill air conditioning. Same thing HVAC systems running. You
save money with the premium foam and the xterior walls
of your home. Foam manufacturer right here in the state
of Ohio, and literally thousands and thousands of homes have
gotten the foam treatment from the USA and puts a
smile on their face. And the only regret most people

(01:07:02):
have is that I wish I'd had done this sooner.
Maybe you just moved in a new place. If it's
an older home, though, you need the foam in that
and that empty cavity that is the xterior walls. They
will insulate the attic as well, and you'll notice the
immediate comfort improvement. And you'll get that money savings every month,
so much money savings that the federal government is dangling
a carrot of incentive at you. And I know I

(01:07:23):
don't like these things, but right there it is, take
advantage of it if you want or not. Twelve hundred dollars.
Twelve hundred dollars is like getting a check for twelve
hundred dollars with the energy tax credit when you're doing
your taxes next year. So that's something to look forward
to when you're doing taxes next year. Five one three
three eight one three six two six five one three
three eight one foam. It is a free quote. If

(01:07:44):
there's nothing in the xterior walls, you get a free quote.
And if you have some insulation in the exterior walls,
that inspection will reveal whether or not the USA foam
will provide you with a benefit, and if it won't,
they won't recommend you do it. Learn more online check

and a very happy Tuesday to you.

Speaker 14 (01:09:17):
Good morning, Brian, Thank you so much. I love when
you enlighten us with your data in numbers, especially now
because they're just coming out like Niagara Falls from the
Dose group, which is so exciting. At the waste of
our government, I thought I would share about the Department
of Education, since they're the next one to be dismantled.

(01:09:38):
They have this was I think twenty twenty three. They
have forty four hundred employees and a yearly budget of
two hundred and sixty eight billion.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Dollars geez wheez, right billion with a b wow you.

Speaker 12 (01:09:55):
Love a bee.

Speaker 14 (01:09:56):
Yep. And we all know that it's not making its
way to the children, so.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
No, no, no, it's making its way in the form
of mandated and edict policies.

Speaker 14 (01:10:08):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Well, fortunately with the end of DEI, IM my understanding
is they let go it was I don't know, was
it Sixty of the DEI employees over the Department of
Education have been told not to show up to work,
So I call that progress. At least maybe maybe forty
three hundred or so left to go after. I know

(01:10:31):
Trump wants to shut it down, but because it was
created by legislation, he may have a bit of a
challenge doing that.

Speaker 14 (01:10:38):
Yeah, I was reading that the transition might be kind
of moving, you know, the jobs and authority or whatever
from the Department of Education to other things. I don't know,
it's going to be interesting. It's like waking up and
watching that exciting thriller every single day.

Speaker 10 (01:10:56):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
What's going to happen next?

Speaker 5 (01:11:00):
What's he gonna do next?

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
Yeah, and you know the other statistic I thought it's
on that Jamie, and I think this reflects some measure
I don't want to be harsh and say ignorance, but
it's the perfect word to will apply to it, some
measure of ignorance on the part of the American people
to know exactly what the Department of Education does or
doesn't really do, because like sixty six percent of the
folks polled and here I go back to a poll

(01:11:23):
and I don't know, they may have pulled this figure
out of nowhere or a sphincter, but sixty six percent
of the people don't believe in eradicating the Department of Education.
I don't know why why would you want Washington DC
level control over your local school districts. They all aren't
run the same they all don't experience the same kind
of challenges and difficulties. And this should be a massive

(01:11:44):
amount of flexibility for school districts to deal with the
problems and challenges that they face. And that should be
up to parents and educators locally to deal with, not
some edict from on high so progress anyway, Jamie, I
know your popcorn's out waiting for the waiting for the
next big announcement from the Trump administration. Man that guy
has just gotten so much done is I think this

(01:12:09):
is what is price. It's mind blowing, I think to
folks on this side of the political ledger to see
how much he's been able to accomplish after four years
of Joe Biden really not doing anything at all. Yes, okay,
we'll give him credit for the Green New Deal aka
Inflation Reduction Act, which pumped trillions of dollars in an
already overinflated economy, dealing and causing creation of a problem

(01:12:31):
of inflation by watering down more of the United States
Fiat currency. Thanks a lot, I appreciate that, But beyond that,
nothing of consequence of substance and nothing of value. Yeah,
so admit to painting with a broadbrush on that last statement. There,
uh six forty seven fifty five k se de talk station,

(01:12:52):
Jimmy Care Fireplace and Stove. You got to get in
touch with them, and they do a wonderful job. Jimmy
Care Fireplace and Stove does sayfety And that's so critical
when it comes to your safety. You need to think
about your fireplace. When's the last time you had it inspected?
Even gas fireplaces can have problems. Ask cribbage. Mike had
called earlier this morning they found out I think it

(01:13:13):
was his great grandkids stuffed toys up the flu and
they kind of caught on fire and were a little
bit charred after the smoke started building out into the room.
That's a bit of a problem. Yeah, well they fixed
it and did a great job, and he was raving
about the customer service and you will too. Been locally
on and operated since nineteen eighty eight. They enjoy an
A plus with a better business bureau. So regardless of
what kind of work done they do it if it

(01:13:33):
relates to free standing stoves in fireplace inserts, wood waste
pellet stoves, you know, regular chimneys, doesn't matter what kind.
Have it inspected. You could have water damage going up there.
If you had a prior chimney fire, your lining is
probably cracked. They do relining, tuck pointing, and they've got
a wonderful showroom chok full of pretty much everything I

(01:13:56):
just mentioned in terms of fireplace inserts and stoves. Kated
at four thirteen Wards Corner Road. They got a special
special going on right now too, complete chimney inspection and
everything for a very low price. So act while it's

Brigham Gowan joining the program off the top of the
art news. He's got a whole lot to go over
with him in studio, which I really appreciate him stopping
on in. And here here's an idea what your taxpayers
are paying for. And you know, I know you're familiar
with the concept of non governmental organizations, and boy don't

(01:15:52):
they come out of the woodwork when we've got immigration
problems in our country with immigrants pouring over across the border.
They all need services. They all need to be housed,
they all need to be sheltered, they need to be placed,
they need to be moved. Here, I'm an NGO. I
have my handout. Give me federal government dollars earned by
the American taxpayers, and I'll take those to accomplish my mission.
Here's one for you. The Acacia Center for Justice from Washington,

(01:16:14):
d C. Described as one of the largest federal immigration contractors,
overseeing a seven hundred and sixty nine million dollar program.
They're an agency that provides lawyers for unaccompanied alien children
at aults and immigration court hearings and deportation proceedings, and

(01:16:36):
they're on a mission. They've been around since twenty twenty two.
They argue that quote, no immigrant should be detained, not
a one. And of course no immigrant includes those that
have criminal records or otherwise have been lawbreakers in their
home country, maybe released from prisons in their own country

(01:16:57):
for horrific sacts like child molestation or something, but none
of them should be detained. They say electric electronic surveillance
tracking systems must be abolished, and they claim that the
use of local law enforcement for immigration purposes must be dismantled.
There's a lot of local law enforcement agencies that don't

(01:17:18):
mind whatsoever it helping up the federal government since that's
a two way street. The Feds quite often help local
government deal with its finding crimes locally, and that's a
two way street. Learn that from the FOP. President can
fabr the other day. It maintains this organization that the
immigration detention of deport system deportation system is in their words,
intentionally designed to exploit, exclude, criminalize, detain and deport people

(01:17:44):
deemed to be undeserving of inclusion in our national fabric,
particularly black and brown people. Now, how is it they
single out black and brown people? I mean, I've been
read article after article after article. People come into our
country from the four corners of the world, ending up
on the southern border, including Chinese. Do you think they
are being racist and excluding the Chinese? Joe in report

(01:18:12):
last June, this Acacia Center recommended that the Executive Office
for Immigration review, the Department of Justice subagency that handles
immigration cases, implement and again their words gender affirming language
in immigration court, demanding that immigration lawyers and judges used

(01:18:33):
correct pronouns for illegal aliens, and said that repeated conduct
that fails to affirm gender identity for non citizens as
a violation of federal anti discrimination laws. This is just
batcrap insanity, folks. Senior analysts of the Capital Research Center
watchdog group that launched the Doge files, had this to say,

(01:18:58):
Pat Parker Thayer, speaking for the group, it will be
absurd for the government to continue funding a soft on crime,
open borders activist group that has openly stated its intention
to work against the incoming administration. Yeah, well, fortunately the
administration froze funding for at least some of this center's programs.

(01:19:19):
Is part of the broader freezing spent across most agencies,
although I know that freezing spend's been held up by court.
But working against our own best interest. It's apparently a
spin off of something called the Vera Institute for Justice,
which is a Brooklyn based nonprofit that has called too
ready defund police departments, abolish immigration enforcement agencies, among other things.

(01:19:48):
So you go to work, they take your money and
they fund organizations. And this isn't the only one. Federal
money flows to an organization that actively undermines the safety
and secut security of America with policies that are so
far out in left field that you know, oh, that's right.
Donald Trump won the election for a large part because

(01:20:09):
of this border nightmare that Joe Biden created and the
work of groups like a CASIA Center. Bring mccowon up

can stick around us.

Very happy to day to you back in studio where

name is also about energy policy, and he was just

(01:21:09):

Brigham accowan, it's always a pleasure to have you in
the studio, and you can find Hudson Institute online at
Hudson dot org.

Speaker 15 (01:21:24):
So you just told me off air you were a
helicopter pilot. Yeah, fixed wing and rotary wing. Things started
and you fly it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):
And you flew out of DC just shortly before the collision.

Speaker 15 (01:21:35):
Oh I did, very sad. I've actually flown that exact
same route in a Navy H sixty we call him
see hawks, Army calls in black hawks, same same That's
very congested airspace. And yeah, I left DC about thirty
forty five minutes before that horrible crash and oh my lord,

(01:21:56):
different American CRJ and learned about it upon landing back
here in Cincinnati last week.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Terrible kind of I bet you had a strange feeling
fall over you when you realize how close you were
to you know, maybe having been impacted by it, or
heaven forbid, having been in the airplane that got run
into by the helicopter.

Speaker 15 (01:22:16):
Yeah, it's really tragic. And you know, Brian, through twenty
plus years of military flying, I've come close a couple
of times in different ways. You know, it's this big sky,
little airplane theory. You know, they come together despite all
this airspace. It's like attractive magnets. But DC is one
of the most congested airspaces around the country, and at

(01:22:40):
Washington Reagan International Airport, they keep expanding it more and
more flights because every congressman wants a direct flight home. Frankly,
there are too many airplanes coming in and out of there.
The FAA is underfunded, the air traffic controllers overworked. Were
three thousand plus short of those.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
That's one of the things that really really concerned me
to find out after the accident how understaffed we are
with their tratic controllers.

Speaker 15 (01:23:08):
Yeah, we really are. And it dates back to two
twenty twenty and COVID and then they just didn't ramp
back up. And attrition is pretty high depending on what
sector you're working. New York Area has a sixty percent
wash out rate within three years. And some of it's
rankly cultural. It's intentional. Really, yeah, you know, the unions

(01:23:29):
run the contracts. By the way, they just extended their
collective bargaining agreement for five years right before Biden left office.
You know, many good working, hard working controllers. Maybe some
of them are listening to the program. But there are
a couple places around the country where there are problems
and they have sick outs. They hey, Brian, you call

(01:23:50):
out sick, I'll take your shift, I'll get over time
and then I'll reciprocate later. And you bring too many
new controllers in and they don't last very long. So
we got to fix these things. And the infrastructure it's old,
it's broken down. We have flooding in the basements of
some of these places. We have communications going down. The

(01:24:12):
notice to Airman went down the other day. That caused
a big problem. Of course, the Biden administration renamed that
to some gender neutral term I can't remember, but expect
that to come back.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
Well that's you know, I always expressed my disdain generally
for flying, just for a multitude of reasons, none of
which ever really had anything to do with safety. It
wasn't like I didn't want to get on an airplane
because I was worried about a terrorist, But I just
didn't like being on an airplane because you're stuck in there.
You got to get there a couple hours advance, and
with the luggage issues and the body cavity search from

(01:24:45):
the TSA and you know, all that stuff, it's just
makes flying a truly unenjoyable experience for me. But now
with all this talk and all the revelations that have
shown up after this horrific collision, now I feel I'm
concerned for my safety that coupled with doors flying off
of Boeing aircraft, you know.

Speaker 15 (01:25:04):
I think and Sean Dusky, the Secretary of Transportation, who
I know and I've had the opportunity to work with,
is a great person. And you know, he just put
out an email to the DOT team, I think two
days ago, it said, you know, hey, folks, this is tragic.
Here's the deal. If everything is a priority, nothing's a priority.

(01:25:24):
We're a safety organization. We're not an environmental organization. We're
not a DEI organization.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
It's like the military, same thing.

Speaker 15 (01:25:32):
Yeah, let's get back to our core mission. And if
you are competent, if you are trainable, if you are smart,
we want you to work here. But stop the madness
and we're gonna stop celebrating every you know, thing that
comes up every different week and concentrate on safety and
moving people around the country. We have to do both

(01:25:52):
of those two things, move people safely period.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
Now, I would argue, or at least I have the impression,
given the that safety and people's lives are at stake
when you're doing your job as an air traffic controller,
that that will be a high stress job. Yeah, is it?
Is it? I mean, is it perceived by most people?
Do they feel high stress? Is that one of the
reasons perhaps for the burnout rate? Or is there something

(01:26:16):
more nefarious as you seem to suggest earlier.

Speaker 15 (01:26:18):
Well, I think you know, there are a lot of
different things.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
There are.

Speaker 15 (01:26:21):
There's a culture there somewhat brought on by the high
stress that people face. So it really depends on where
you are right, if you're working New York Center or
you know, approach that's very different from you know, hanging
out at a county airport in India. Right, yeah, but
you know, we have to change the way we're doing business.

(01:26:43):
We still have floppy drives. And I don't mean the
I don't mean the five and a quarter you know,
hard drives. I mean the big floppy drives that look
like records. They still have those for some of the
computer systems.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
It is are you kidding?

Speaker 13 (01:27:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
I know that's first generation kind of floppy drive.

Speaker 15 (01:27:03):
It really is. And so when the system goes down,
you know how we can be the most technologically advanced
country in the world and yet some not all, but
some of our systems are so antiquated. And this administration
is going to address that. They're going to fix this
because it's unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
It is what is it run on MS DOS?

Speaker 15 (01:27:25):
I want to say, it's it's either Cobra or Cobalt
or one of those things that you know from forty
years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Can people even still know how to program a work
on those? And there's legacy systems. Quite often you lose
the skill sets necessary to even you know, band aid
fix them if they require it, you.

Speaker 15 (01:27:43):
Do, and when anybody who works it or as an
executive a company will tell you too. Once you have
a legacy system that can't be patched, you have a
wide open door to cybercriminals and everything else, right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
Adder Dave Hadder talks about that every week. It's like
when they phased out Microsoft XL, they are no longer
going to be offering security patches. Nefarious characters out there
in the world know that idiots still are using that
old operating system. They figure out all kinds of holes
that still exist in them because they're not being patched.
Welcome to a cyber attack.

Speaker 15 (01:28:14):
Yes, So you know there's a lot to be done
across the board, and that's just one part of government. Also,
you know it usually takes years for the NTSB and
others to come up with what happened. We've been promised
answers in thirty days, so we'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:28:27):
Yeah, we will. Well, thank you for your service to
our country. I learned something about you every time you
come on the program Helicopter Pilot for the Navy and
again Charge Conversations. You can find his podcast regularly before
we and I want to we'll do another break coming
up here. We only have a minute left, so I
wanted to ask you because he is also in addition
to everything else he does, he's a professor at Miami University,

(01:28:49):
which we brought up. And you'll be teaching graduate level
energy policy at Miami University this coming up.

Speaker 15 (01:28:56):
Yes, we just started last week. It's a grad and
senior energy policy capstone. I'm really excited to be teaching
it again. And the class maxed out again, which I
guess is a good thing. Maybe it just means it's
a good thing. Maybe it just means I'm an easy
greater Brian.

Speaker 8 (01:29:13):
I don't know. We'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
I don't think that's probably the case. I think you
have the level of you have an expectation for a
level of excellence, and there's some superior students at Miami University,
and most notably when you get to the graduate level,
and of course like that, you're surrounded by some intelligent
kids or young people or well compared to me. Anyway.
But before we break here, I wanted you to repeat

(01:29:35):
for my listeners what you have encountered since the November
election during your teaching at Miami University.

Speaker 15 (01:29:41):
Yeah, it's amazing how many students come out, and I
realized that many more of them are conservatives. And look
from my perspective, and I tell all of the students
say is I don't really care what you believe in
This class is about grading how you can articulate it,
and how you can back up your argument.

Speaker 10 (01:29:59):
Right.

Speaker 15 (01:30:00):
You want to be left, great, be left, You want
to be right, be right. But I've seen more and
more people come out and say, you know, hey, you
know this green energy thing doesn't work, and that's a
new one.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
Well, and it's not that they weren't in the classroom before.
It's just that they didn't want to get shouted down
by a bunch of Greta thunbergs. I mean, the messaging
has always been there. And I talked about this earlier.
I think a lot of the polling reflected that maybe
Trump wasn't going to do quite as good as he
ultimately did against Kamala Harris. Because you know, somebody calls
me up and asks me a polling questions, I'm not

(01:30:33):
going to answer. I'm just like now, I don't want
to participate and hang out. Many people lied and said
they didn't like Trump and actually did. But there were
a lot of pro Trump supporters out in the world
who just kept their mouths shuts for fear of getting
you know, demonized lambast or otherwise yelled at by the
crazies and social media.

Speaker 10 (01:30:50):
Amen.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
They're out there, and apparently they're in college as well.
Mart Briga McDonald from Hudson Institute. We'll talk about his testimony.
He's off the DC to talk energy policy. We'll talk.
We'll learn from him what the subject matter will be,
in which direction he thinks we should go after I
mentioned affordable imaging, because well, hospital imaging departments are really, really,

(01:31:12):
really expensive. Can I emphasize that enough? I mean, the
idea of paying five thousand dollars for a CT scan,
it's just unconsortable to me when I know you can
go to Affordable Imaging Services and get a CT scan
for four hundred and fifty bucks. Yet same kind of
CT scan equipment, same thing with the MRI, the echo cardiogram, ultrasounds,
all of it is similar or comparable to the hospital

(01:31:33):
imaging equipment. Every low price for the images that Affordable
Imaging comes with the Board Certified Radiologists report, which you
and your physician will both get within forty eight hours.
I've already had scans there. I've got another one scheduled
in April from an xCT scan to see which direction
my cancer is going. And I'll keep my fingers crossed.
But the last time I was there, my doctor had
no issue with the image or the report, just had

(01:31:56):
a problem with the outcome. That's all, but not five
one thousand dollars four point fifty and if you get
a contrast six hundred. The MRI is most expensive. When
you can get there with a contrast, it's still only
six hundred and forty five bucks, and you could be
out of pocket thirty five hundred maybe four thousand at
the hospital. So you have a choice. Don't go to
the hospital limitging department. Go to affordable limiting services and

(01:32:17):
save heap loads of money, especially folks that don't have insurance.
It's not that you can avoid not and not get
the scan. These things can be life saving five one
three seven five three eight thousand five one three seven
five three eight thousand. To learn more, go to Affordable

Speaker 15 (01:34:06):
It is the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and I'll
be testifying in front of the subcommittee on energy.

Speaker 5 (01:34:14):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:34:15):
Want this to be across the board kind of discussion
about energy policy.

Speaker 15 (01:34:19):
Yes, it will be, and I'm kind of looking forward
to it. We'll be talking about, you know, our current
energy policy coming out of four years of the Biden administration,
and then looking at what we expect to see President
Trump do by way of energy, and what are the
pros and cons of different approaches to energy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:39):
All right, Well, my conclusion, and I note from your
summary page of the notes and things, but I've also
heard this, next to raw materials and the cost of labor,
energy the third most expensive cost driver. Now it seems
to me to be I don't know, necessarily low hanging

(01:35:00):
fruit in light of all the opposition to any energy
policies by the left. But if you really want to
lower inflation, lower the cost of diesel, you know, I
mean everything in our country gets shipped by a semi
tractor trailer truck running on diesel fuel, unless you're on
a short haul trip in California, in which case you
have an electric one. But the power from that probably

(01:35:21):
is coming from some form of carbon anyway. But you
could easily remedy some of the price problems that we
are facing by lowering the cost of shipping, which would
be lowering the cost of energy related to shipping absolutely.

Speaker 15 (01:35:36):
And Trump's plan is to unleash commerce across the country.
And you do that by having cheap energy prices, solid infrastructure,
and lower fewer regulations because you you know, right, rising
tide lifts all boats. We've heard that before. And the

(01:35:58):
economy is the driver that makes us all have a
better quality of life. Brian, And energy and the infrastructure
and the transportation component to that, they're all they're all
three sides, three sides of.

Speaker 16 (01:36:14):
The same coin.

Speaker 15 (01:36:14):
Can you say that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (01:36:20):
If you want to make it sound accurate anyway, I
think I already got what you were talking about. But
you're right on regulations. So when I think about, for example,
the cafe standards, which ultimately forced people to end up
driving something they don't want or and also tremendously drive
up the cost of you an internal combustion engine, you know,
not only do you have cafe standards, but you also

(01:36:41):
have all these safety standards and mandates and obligations on
all the bells and whistles you got to put into cars.
And is there even a single affordable car out in
the world these days? I mean, I think of folks
on life's margins and they want a job or they've
got a job. There was a woman locally that the
help squad helped out. She spent three hours a day
on a bus, yeah, to get back and forth through

(01:37:02):
a job. They got her a car, They solved for problems. Yeah,
you know, there's a lot of truth to that.

Speaker 15 (01:37:09):
And inflation inside, right, we spent too much money, We've
printed too much money, got it exactly. That's a big
driver of inflation. But another driver for in vehicle inflation
and insurance inflation are these evs because we're all paying
even though you're like, I'm not buying an EV, well,
you're still helping subsidize an EV. Ford Blue lost them

(01:37:31):
over a billion dollars last year. You think that Ford
one fifty internal combustion and truck didn't cost you more
because of that?

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
Absolutely, you got to find profit somewhere, and you find
profit in the products that people demand and buy. And
there is no profit in those evs.

Speaker 15 (01:37:46):
There isn't. Right now now, I will say, you know,
Tesla's come out with revised model threes, and why is
the price has gone down. They've made them less complicated,
They're using different battery technology. You know, works around town.
You want to buy one, great, you've got a uh,
you've got a charger at home. Great for the rest
of us, though the Biden administration pushing this on us,

(01:38:07):
by the way, in the Inflation Reduction Act, right well,
well named uh, I supposed to put all these chargers
out around the country and they've done none of that.

Speaker 1 (01:38:18):
We've got like eight yes, and there was like five
billion dollars or something along those lines, and they put
in Yeah, they put eight wow. I you know, gosh
to a neighborhood near us, sometimes centuries from now, so.

Speaker 15 (01:38:32):
Thank goodness, the previous administration was not very competent delivering this.
But we have to make between two and four trillion
dollars to build out an electrical infrastructure system for charging cars.
And if we're going to be serious, and part of
my testimony tomorrow is, look, let's just assume everybody agrees

(01:38:53):
that we need to reduce our carbon footprint. We don't agree,
but let's say let's just assume we do. Then the
government should be an as to how you do that.
If you can put a different fuel in your regular engine, fine,
why do we have to electrify everything? Why is the
government telling us what we can buy and what we
can't buy instead of saying, guys, here's the problem. We

(01:39:15):
don't know the right answer. But look, we've got brilliant
people all over the country. We want to get from
point A to B. You guys in the private sector
figure it out. That's what the government should be doing.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
And agreed, and you know, even maybe a little bit
further diving down the rattle that this is if you
live in an area that gets most of its power
primarily generated from you know, natural gas or coal, perhaps
then you're really not impacting the carbon output into the

(01:39:49):
world when you're driving an EV because the power that's
generating the electricity is coming from a carbon producing source.

Speaker 15 (01:39:56):
Absolutely correct.

Speaker 1 (01:39:58):
Isn't there a physics react react sort of a physics
component of that, Like you're not going to achieve greater
energy from the plant to the charging station. I mean,
it's gonna be one of those it's a wash type deals.

Speaker 13 (01:40:12):
It is.

Speaker 15 (01:40:12):
It absolutely is. And you know, we have actually reduced
greenhouse gas emissions more than any other country by simply
switching from a coal fired power plant to a natural
gas fired power plant. And a lot of people don't
understand that, whether you use coal, gas, oil, nuclear power,

(01:40:34):
we're heating water. We're heating water to then make electricity. Now,
the natural gas plants we use, in some cases gas
turbine engines that you can click a mouse button and
throttle it up or back, which is the most efficient,
and we should be building more of that, and we
should be building more nuclear. But to your point, for

(01:40:56):
all of the coal that Europe in the US has replied,
China has more than offset that. This year alone, China's
talking between forty and sixty gigawatts of new coal power.

Speaker 1 (01:41:10):
So okay, let's continue to cut our throat in the
face of the Chinese Communist parties aspirations. More with Briga

Thomas with energy expert Briga McGown from the Hudson Ensuit.
He will be testifying in Washington, d C. On energy
policy tomorrow and obviously above above board, strategy, above board.
And I just casually mentioned, you know, you always hear
about gas, hear about coal production, hear about nuclear production,

(01:43:48):
although I'm hoping we'll get some and you can comment
on that. But the idea of a geothermal uh, you know,
the Earth is a great heat exchanger, and I've got
a you know, sort of I guess a mini version
of a geothermal system. You know, tubes run on one
hundred and fifty feet down into the ground and start
you're starting at fifty five degrees. Then it's not as

(01:44:08):
much of an uphill battle to cool the air or
warm it as the case may be. And the energy
bills are often very very low by comparison to the
traditional system. So and I know that if they drill
a hole deep enough, you know, the Earth's core is molten.
And I'm not sure you have to go all the
way down to the Earth's core, but you get to
a certain point, which is an achievable depth. It's pretty

(01:44:30):
damn hot. I just it seems so simple that you
could run a line down there. The water would heat
up and boil like you talked about, and create steam,
which would generate free electricity.

Speaker 13 (01:44:39):
Right.

Speaker 15 (01:44:40):
Yeah, Iceland uses that. There's some places with volcanic activity
where the lava is closer to the surface that you
can do and yeah, you know interesting, isn't it.

Speaker 13 (01:44:49):
That?

Speaker 15 (01:44:50):
Gee, that's let me think that's carbon free. Yeah, why
aren't people talking about that, Brian?

Speaker 1 (01:44:57):
I mean, it's mind boggling. We're off pursuing hydrogen technology
and all these different, you know, very complicated things, but
the simplistic thing of really, you know, you put a
pipe into the and I know it's more complicated to this.
I'm not a scientist and I don't play I don't
play one on radio. But there's that massive amount of heat,

(01:45:19):
and yes, it is close to the surface in a
lot of places on the Earth. Hell, there's active volcanoes
out in Hawaii, right.

Speaker 15 (01:45:26):
Yeah, yeah, there are. I mean, you know, geothermal for
industrial applications what we call industrial heat applications are possible.
I know up at Miami University they use geothermal as
well and have cut their bills substantially. And again, they
used to have a coal fired power plant actually at Miami,
and they don't any longer, and they've added on to

(01:45:46):
it every year. In a couple of places around the world,
people are putting geothermal under the streets and kind of
giving it to an entire neighborhood, right, And it can
help a lot. There are a lot and I think
that that's really the issue is with AI and data centers.
We need a lot more energy than we currently produce.

(01:46:07):
We're having trouble getting it built because of some of
these I'm going to call them silly environmental and process
laws where we can't get anything done and then the
loser sues and it's tied up for another seven to
ten years. We've got to get back to a country
of building things. And I know this president wants to
get stuff built. He's a developer, he likes building stuff.

(01:46:29):
And we've got to simplify what we're doing and get
back to that core mission. Because America used to be doers.
We used to be builders and whether that's energy, whether
that's infrastructure, where that's roads, highways, whatever, we need to
get back to that.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Yeah, and the more abundant and inexpense of the energy is,
the more likely it is we can achieve these goals.
And everybody listening, audience knows what's coming. I want to
hear about nuclear power because it seems to be the

Brigham's in all the above kind of guy and all
the above suggests. Of course, among other things, we talked
about nuclear power, which it drives me out of my mind,
considering everybody's all worried about carbon output. Nuclear power doesn't

(01:49:34):
put any carbon. And know these are no longer three
mile island type nuclear plants. We have moved. We are
decades past that new technologies exist, closed loop systems that
don't require cooling towers, and as you pointed out to
me off the break, no problem with waste anymore.

Speaker 15 (01:49:53):
With nuclear plants, great, we can recycle they spent uranium
and pretty much put it back into operation. Nuclear fission,
which is what we use, releases exponential amounts of energy
over a fairly small footprint for a you know, a plant.

(01:50:17):
And we have the capability to make large ones like
we've like we always have, as well as to make
a SMR smaller modular or a small modular reactor SMR,
and even microreactors.

Speaker 1 (01:50:30):
Mean like the ones on my friend's submarine and the
ones that are used to powered battleships and have been
for the last fifty years brig them.

Speaker 15 (01:50:37):
Yeah, yeah about that aircraft care. All of our submarines
have been nuclear powered since sixties. Yeah, maybe late fifties,
late fifties. Somebody will call in and say, what they're
a Michael chime in on that. But yeah, and right,
I mean, this is not new and they're run by
eighteen to twenty one year olds, you got that, right,
And they're the smartest people in the navy, by the way,

(01:50:59):
you know, I'm an ava guy, not a submarine, or
don't call him. Some mariners they get upset.

Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
I know, I found that out too, I got corrected,
so I haven't made that mistake.

Speaker 15 (01:51:08):
Yeah, we can release large amounts of energy that over
the lifetime is one of the most cost effective way
per kilowatt hour. But the government gets in our own
way because our regulations are still antiquated. Yeah, we're still
assuming we're building a three mile island and it takes

(01:51:29):
you know, the joke is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the
NRC has spent its entire life as an agency avoiding
permitting anything that's got to change. That's got to change,
and behind the scenes you won't hear much about this.
But fusion. There is a space race on to develop
fusion power. China's doing it, We're doing it. And that

(01:51:51):
is the power of the sun. A sustainable combustion never
ending that creates more energy than it uses. That's the
holy grail. It's always been fifty years away, but we'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:52:05):
Can you imagine that it's almost It acts in defiance
and the laws of physics. I mean, you go to
the concept that energy matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
How do you end up getting more energy out of
something than anyway? Again, no scientists am I, but I've
been hearing about that technology for illus since I was
a little kid. Are we close at all? Do you

(01:52:27):
have any insight into how far are we from being
able to harness that type of technology.

Speaker 15 (01:52:32):
There are many startup companies in the US trying to
figure this out, and unlike other energy where you share
all of this technology, they're being very they're holding everything
very close to the vest right because well profit and
you know the Chinese will just steal it. And so
we have several different reactor designs. One of them is

(01:52:53):
called the Tokamak reactor. Don't ask me why to figure
out how to do this, and right we can only
sustain a chain reaction for anywhere from a few seconds
to a record I'm told, but I haven't verified this
independently as a thousand seconds, and then you have to
tear the whole thing down and rebuild it. So wow,

(01:53:14):
we're not quite there yet, I would say. But there
are a couple people that plan on small commercial versions
of fusion as early as the end of this decade,
well real.

Speaker 1 (01:53:25):
Quickly before we take another break and bringing back for
one more in terms of the size of the nuclear plants,
and obviously, as you pointed out, they come in all
shapes and sizes, but they're much more compact than they
used to be. Artificial intelligence needs just a ton of electricity,
and it seems to me that it's going to be
one of the easiest ways for us to actually get

(01:53:46):
this for our own use, because all the big players
in AI are talking nuclear technology, building their own plants
on their own facilities. Could one of these smaller, say
submarine or aircraft carrier size react or actually run an
entire artificial intelligence facility or it require something bigger than that.

Speaker 15 (01:54:05):
No, it sure could. I mean, you know, you could
plug a submarine and empower a city of three hundred
and fifty thousand people.

Speaker 1 (01:54:10):
There you go. Yeah, that's just See. Every time I
hear things like that, it just really irks me that

That our threat is pain, whether it's in your knee,

been to the doctor steroid injections. Yeah, I've been down

Institute teaching Energy policy at Miami University with a bunch

you wanted to make about fusion and embrace yourself for
these fun facts. Folks. Now, we're not quite there yet
with fusion, but it looks like, you know, someday, maybe

(01:57:10):
within our lifetime, we can harness this technology. But give
them a little comparison way by way of comparing it
to nuclear power and then coal.

Speaker 15 (01:57:19):
Sure, well, fusion is generates four times the amount of
power that fission produces, so it's a lot more fun,
four times nuclear power, four times more than nuclear power,
you know, bang for the buck, and four million times
more energy than burning oil or coal.

Speaker 1 (01:57:40):
Four million Brian. That is just mind boggling.

Speaker 5 (01:57:43):
Isn't that a lot?

Speaker 11 (01:57:44):
Now?

Speaker 15 (01:57:45):
The trouble is, of course, uh, you know, the high
temperatures required to make it, and that's that's really one
of the impediments right now. But by the way, it
doesn't really produce radioactive material. After you shut the thing
down within a very short period of time, there's nothing left.
There's no radioactive material or what there is closest to
it can be. The half life is so short it

(01:58:08):
doesn't require all the safety precautions that regular fission reactors require, all.

Speaker 1 (01:58:13):
Right, And in terms of regular fission the stuff that
we can do and can accomplish right now because that's
what the French are using for their electricity, and so
many other places are building nuclear reactors. Where do we
get the nuclear material from to run the reactor? Brig them?

Speaker 15 (01:58:27):
Yeah, you know, this is amazing. We used to produce
all of our nuclear fuel from Paduca, Kentucky and Piked
in Ohio, not too far from where I grew up.
And after the Cold War ended, we shut down that
production because we took Russian fuel and down blended it.
It was highly enriched uranium, nuclear bomb type material.

Speaker 1 (01:58:49):
This is post Soviet Union, falling.

Speaker 5 (01:58:50):
Post Soviet Union, and that was a good plan.

Speaker 15 (01:58:53):
You know, they said, please come take our stuff because
we can't guarantee the safety, and we said, sure, we'll
do that, but that decimated the domestic industry. We get
our nuclear material from Russia. Canada wants to provide it
for us, and they mine uranium. Once we get through
our little family food fight with those guys, you know,

(01:59:14):
and I do like the Canadians. They want a closer
They even talked about an energy union in economic union
with the US. They would like to do this, and
I think, you know, Trump has his reasons for doing
what he's doing, and it appears to be paying off.
So while people are hysterical about what's going on with
Mexico and Canada, just you know, hold your fire. It's

(01:59:37):
all going to be fine.

Speaker 1 (01:59:38):
Well, And it only took like twelve hours to put
things in short order, getting the tariff shut down and
Donald Trump getting some of his way with regard to
the border security and trying to shut down fentanyl from
flowing into our country.

Speaker 15 (01:59:49):
Yeah, and that's really what it's about. It's about securing
the board, it's about fentanyl. It's about the drug trade
back and forth. It's about illicit money coming back and forth.
And you know, is it unorthodox? Yes, from a diplomatic perspective.
Is it the nicest way to treat your neighbors? Maybe not,
But you know, he's a disruptor, and when you hire

(02:00:11):
a disruptor, they disrupt things. That's the whole point, and
that's what leads to breakthroughs. Quite honestly.

Speaker 1 (02:00:16):
Well, and none of this should shock anybody because he
ran on doing it. Yeah, I mean he was talking
about terriffs in the last year and a half. I
mean it's like, oh my god, he put tariff's and
like what he said he was going to right, And
if I were into Europe, I'd be getting ready. Yeah,
they're already rumblings from the European Union about counter tariffs.
So it may be a great mechanism to get the

(02:00:38):
ball rolling on further discussions, which it seems to have
done here with Mexico and Canada. So let's keep our
popcorn out. So far, it's born for it.

Speaker 15 (02:00:47):
There is a method to the madness.

Speaker 1 (02:00:49):
There certainly is. Brig him a gown again. Hudson dot

Then never thanks to the College Jim, have a great week, Bob,
Bob Price, Welcome to the fifty five Karsse Morning Show.
It's a pleasure to have you on. Bright Bart b
R E I T B A R T bookmark at
Breitbart dot com where you'll find Bob is the Texas
Border Associate Editor. Bob Good, have you on the program again.

Speaker 12 (02:01:50):
Hey, great to be here. Good talking to you again.
So what a couple of weeks that's been.

Speaker 1 (02:01:54):
A oh my god, a couple of weeks to see
a couple of days, I mean it, no sooner was
the dry on the declaration that we're going to impose
tariffs on Canada and Mexico. After a couple of telephone conversations,
guess what they're not. We got a thirty day pause.
The presidents of both countries have agreed to help with
ten thousand of their own military personnel plus allocation of

(02:02:15):
funds and resources. That was pretty damn impressive.

Speaker 12 (02:02:19):
Well, what these foreign leaders are doing, the president of Columbia,
the president of Mexico, the Prime minister of Canada. They're
realizing that when the President of the United States says something,
it's going to happen. As because of that, they are
responding as negotiation should work in a way that gets
through the United States the results that we're looking for,

(02:02:39):
which is securing our borders, getting these criminal aliens out
of the country and stopping the fentanyl trafficking from coming
in here and killing hundreds of thousands of people in
the United States.

Speaker 1 (02:02:50):
Bob, since you've been firing, you have literally been following
the border issues for a couple I guess decades. Now,
do you have you come to some conclusion if there's
some sort of nefarious intent or unstated intent by allowing
literally tens of thousands and millions of people into our
country when we were not prepared to deal with them

(02:03:13):
coming into our country in such a fast pace. Schools overwhelmed,
cities overwhelmed, resources used up. But this was seemingly a
natural result of an intended policy. Am I missing something here?
Is this global population redistribution?

Speaker 2 (02:03:30):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (02:03:31):
I mean, I'm hard pressed to find out how in
this could be in any way, shape or form good
for the American country and citizenry.

Speaker 12 (02:03:39):
Well, it has not been good for the American people,
and even liberals mayors like Eric Adams in New York
have finally figured this out thanks to Governor Greg Abbott
and his action of bussing migrants up to New York
City and other sanctuary cities. And so, yes, it was
an intentional decision. President Joe Biden on the day he
took office wiped out every single policy, the successful policy

(02:04:01):
that Donald Trump had put in place that resulted in
the most secure border in decades, and turned it into
the most unsecured border ever, you know, with eleven million
people crossing the border during his tenure. And so now
President Trump has the task of finding these people and

(02:04:22):
removing them and getting them back out, starting with the
criminals first. But you know, if you're here illegally, and
in many cases, we have documentation on these now thanks
to Joe Biden, so we're going to find them and
take them out of the country.

Speaker 1 (02:04:37):
So why would they want this to happen to us
given the problems that seemingly insurmountable challenges they have brought
to our country in terms of again, like just look
at just one of them, like education, I mean, individual
young people who do not speak English are being placed
into classrooms require their own special language teacher, which is
obviously comes at a great expense, but also lodge it

(02:05:00):
is understood that it's holding back other kids from learning
given the resources that are allocated to these new students.

Speaker 12 (02:05:08):
Well, remember when Barack Obama took office, his stated intention
was to fundamentally change the United States, and he started
some of these programs of bringing in more and more
migrants across the border. President Trump tried to reverse that
and was very successful in reversing that policy. And then
Joe Biden and his team Kamala Harris and Alejandro Majorcus,

(02:05:33):
they put it on steroids.

Speaker 10 (02:05:34):
And literally brought in.

Speaker 12 (02:05:37):
People that created all of these problems that you just said.
It's not just education. Look at the cost of housing
that's going the availability of low income housing that just disappeared,
the depression of wages, and because of the mass input
into the workforce, and the cost of our healthcare system,
the cost our education system, the cost and are prison systems.

(02:05:58):
All of these things are negatively impacting the taxpayers of
the United States.

Speaker 10 (02:06:02):
And now we're going to fix that with President Trump
in office.

Speaker 1 (02:06:06):
Well, and don't you kind of get the impression that
they didn't get the result they were hoping for. And
I don't know what it's going to be like fast
forward ten years from now, and I don't know how
they're going to resolve the questions of whether these folks
can be naturalized or otherwise being granted citizenships, which may
very well come with a voting right. But look at
all of the people who rebelled against these illegal immigrants

(02:06:28):
taking over the communities typically really die hard blue Democrats,
many people in the black and Hispanic communities who the
left was convinced that all these new immigrants being welcome
in our country were going to be great voting blocks
for them. It didn't quite happen.

Speaker 10 (02:06:43):
Well.

Speaker 12 (02:06:43):
One of the things that changed some of that was
the violence of the trend de Ragua Venezuelan and President
Gang that President Trump has now declared to be a
foreign terrorist organization. So it really started negatively impacting these people.
When people's children schools were taken over to become or centers,

(02:07:06):
detention centers for these migrants up in these cities, people
just got sed up with it. Now, the mayors of
Denver in Chicago haven't gotten the message from their voters yet,
But the next election, I think they probably will.

Speaker 1 (02:07:20):
Exactly, I haven't gotten the memo yet. It's crazy in
what strikes you think, how do you think the Democrats
are going to treat this on a going forward basis?
Considering the obviously devastating loss they suffered. Trump won the
popular vote, for God's sake, they seem to be in
a complete state of disarray in terms of what policies
they're going to be embracing or not well.

Speaker 12 (02:07:40):
And when you look at the popular vote in California
and in New York and many of these other blue states,
President Trump made significant gains in those He didn't win
those states, but he did make huge gains there. And
now when you look at the reckless policies of California
Governor Newsom, Mayor bas in Los Angeles, with these fires

(02:08:03):
and everything, people are set up with it. They're realizing
that this just does not work. Every major city that
has catastrophic problems all have one thing in common, and
that is Democrat leadership.

Speaker 1 (02:08:14):
Now one of the struggles Mexico's had for a long time,
I think, and it continues to this day as I
look at this Fox News article about Mexican drug hotels
now ordering their members to target border patrol agents with
Kami Kazi drones and other explosives. The gangs run Mexico
in large part. I mean, any politician that goes out

(02:08:35):
seeking reform or runs against or runs against a for
a crackdown on gangs usually finds themselves dead.

Speaker 10 (02:08:43):
Well.

Speaker 12 (02:08:43):
And we did see the border patrol the cartels in
Tamilpas in Mexico opening fire on border patrol agents about
ten days ago. You know, it's very dangerous along the border.
Our intelligent sources don't believe at this point that they
are going to use drones against the border patrol because
of the escalation effect that that would have yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(02:09:08):
But you see a Secretary of Defense headset now saying
that military strikes, unilateral military strikes by the United States
into Mexico are on the table. And so if I
was one of these cartel leaders, I'd be paying attention
to what the president is doing over in the Middle
East and maybe get my head down a little bit.

Speaker 1 (02:09:27):
Well, don't you think, I mean, would we actually order
strikes without the approval of the Mexican government, Because you know,
one might presume or perceive that to be an act
of war, even if you are going after evil gangs,
you have launched a missile strike or a military strike
in our sovereign nation. I kind of if I was
in a president of any given country, I might have
a big issue with that, unless, of course, it provides

(02:09:50):
a convenient opportunity to get rid of evil cartels that
might otherwise put an end of my life if I
crack down on them.

Speaker 10 (02:09:57):
Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 12 (02:09:58):
The United States takes action and sovereign countries all across
the world when we deem it for the safety and
security of the citizens of the United States. Over one
hundred thousand people have been murdered by these drug cartels
and the Chinese government and their cooperation of sending the
precursor chemicals over for the fennanol, and so those are

(02:10:18):
acts of war against the United States. The United States
has every right to respond to that. And yes, it
would be an act of war against these foreign terrorist organizations,
and they are in control of much of the country,
and you know, we just can't sit by and idly
let that happen.

Speaker 1 (02:10:37):
Bob Price is the Brightbard News editor and border expert. Now,
since you mentioned the Chinese and the precursor chemicals, which
I think come almost exclusively from China, I've always viewed
that their lack of cooperation and willingness to crack down
on manufacturers that they know of in their own country
shipping these things out of the country. You know how

(02:10:58):
tight the Chinese Communist Party is over data and what's
going on. They know damn well exactly who these characters
and these actors are, and they could stop it from
happening if they chose to. I've always viewed the invasion
of fentanyl and the quantities of fentanyl as a subtle
act of war by the Chinese against the United States.

Speaker 12 (02:11:16):
Well, and if you look at the operation numbers coming
across the borders of the United States. Massive numbers of
Chinese young military age men have been crossing during the
last four years into the country.

Speaker 10 (02:11:28):
Yeah, again, that's one of those things.

Speaker 12 (02:11:31):
Everything that happens in China, China knows about Those people
aren't coming up with that fifty to one hundred thousand
dollars fee to pay the cartels out of their own
pocket from what they were doing in China.

Speaker 10 (02:11:42):
So there's a reason why they're here, and we need
to be prepared for that.

Speaker 1 (02:11:47):
Aim into that, Bob Price, It's been a real pleasure
having you back in the fifty five krs the Morning Show.
Keep up the great work at Breitbart. Will certainly be

(02:12:20):
Your car is getting ready to go out of warranty,
take it to Foreign Exchange before that happens, and have
them identify all the things that can be fixed under
warranty before you lose out on that freebie. But when
it comes to having to pay for it, the point
is you don't pay as much at Foreign Exchange as
you do with the dealer, and we're talking really some

always a pleasure to have you on the show.

Speaker 9 (02:13:22):
Always great to be here, Brian, looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (02:13:25):
Another day, another missile strike. It's depending on which article
you read. Russian missile strike attack kills four in Kharkiv,
and there's another one says five killed, twenty four hospitalized,
and the missile striker and Kharkiv again the fog of war.
You never can't quite get a clue on how many
people have been injured or killed or died. But another day,
another missile strike. What's is the landscape changing since we

(02:13:49):
talked last tesday, Daniel? Are we still where we were?

Speaker 9 (02:13:54):
Well, there hasn't been a whole lot of ground action.
There's just continue with the creeping a east or westward
movement by the Russian forces that that hasn't stopped UH,
but Russia seems to be spending a lot more time
hitting these these missile strikes deeper into the Ukraine heartland,
especially in the UH the the Kharkiv area as you

(02:14:16):
mentioned there, going after energy and and UH electric production facilities,
which keeps on limiting their economic capacity to sustain the war.
But there's also been a recent upturn, uh upturn in
the use of specific drones deep inside of Ukraine, and
that's been a bit of a change and we'll we'll
have to wait to see what it portends. But they've

(02:14:37):
been using a lot of these fiber optic drones deep
inside behind the lines, which either implies that the range
of these things has been significantly increased or that there
are Russian partisans operating behind the lines in larger numbers,
and especially in two specific areas around the koupiansk Uh
and in the Sumi region of Ukraine. UH, it's just

(02:14:58):
been devastating issues and one drone after another. And if
you're not familiar with these fiber optic cables, they can't
be jammed, so if they fly, they will kill something.
And so far the Ukraine doesn't have an answer to it,
and the Russians are starting to use more and more
of them. And if you weaken the lines behind the lines,
then that means that at some point you're gonna weaken
the fabric up at the front line.

Speaker 1 (02:15:20):
Are you talking about something along the lines of it
used to be the tow missiles.

Speaker 9 (02:15:24):
They had a yes, exactly the same Yeah, told me so,
which has a tiny of like a hair fiber optic
cable or the missile flew into it.

Speaker 1 (02:15:33):
Will.

Speaker 9 (02:15:33):
Now they've used it the same technology.

Speaker 1 (02:15:34):
In the drones. Wow, because obviously, at least in the
early days I think those came out well, like in
the eighties or something like that. I mean there they
were limited in terms of the distance because of course
the limitations of having a fiber optic cable connected to
the missile. That's exactly right.

Speaker 9 (02:15:51):
Yeah, you have to have a spool that it unspools
as it flies, and you can barely see it. I
mean you can obviously you can see it when you're
on there, but you know, I mean even ten feet
away you have a hard time seeing it is that thin.
But it's enough to get the signals so that the
thing can be driving on target and you literally have
something like HD video on the on the drivers i

(02:16:11):
mean on the operators handle and obviously you know, you
have some issues obviously can't fly around trees because then
it gets tangled up, but you can get it on target.
It's been very just devastating effective in the Sumi region
especially now, are these and I'm sure everything has some
sort of military target benefit like power plants and that

(02:16:32):
I get all day long, But when you're hitting buildings
with these where they just civilians are there, and coupled
with the point that it's further and further inland within
the interior of Ukraine, are these designed to be more
of psychological winds, like you know, posing the the real
genuine existential threat for the Ukrainians that Oh my god,

(02:16:55):
the Russians really are advancing.

Speaker 1 (02:16:57):
Look how far in they got with that most recent
and missiles strake.

Speaker 9 (02:17:02):
I don't think so, because Russia has a relatively I mean,
they've ramped up production, but it's still comparatively limited, and
so these things are very valuable and they don't just
spend them for I think psychological effect very oftentimes at
least what the Russians are claiming, and there does seem
to be some justification for it that some of these
buildings they hit, or where the Ukraine side is housing

(02:17:25):
troops or where they were in some cases recently there's
been Western trainers and some of these Western people who
have been fighting for Ukraine have been stationed where they
think they've been safe in the rear to have this,
you know, civilian buildings be used to house these people,
and all of a sudden, Russia is saying yeah, and
actually nothing's safe. And by the way, that's also another

(02:17:46):
product of the growing number of Russian partisans on the
Russia on the Ukraine side of the line of contact.
And as I had on a show last week with
a former NATO officer out of Switzerland, he said that
there is growing belief that there could be a rise
of an actual partisan conflict in some of the rear

(02:18:07):
cities like Odessa, like Kharkips City, and then other these
areas in between, like where some of these missile strikes
are coming. So that's a big problem for the Ukraine side,
and they've actually conducted a thousand raids to try to
find some of these, but it's starting.

Speaker 1 (02:18:20):
To be a real problem in the rear well. If
that is a growing concern and more and more folks
are moving over and embracing sort of the Russian side
of the equation, that presents a major intelligence problem for
the Ukrainians because someone's going to ferret out to the
Russians where these soldiers are hiding.

Speaker 9 (02:18:37):
Well, clearly that's exactly what's going on right now. That's
the only way you can get these even the drone
strikes with the fiber optic tables deep behind Ukraine lines.
Almost the only way you can do that is either
have partisans tell you where they are, or you are
the partisans themselves are operating the drones.

Speaker 1 (02:18:54):
So it's you're right, it's a real problem. Well, also
a corollary problem you and I talked, and I have
talked about before in the past, but I've just seen,
you know, since our last conversation more reports Ukraine soldiers
deserting their posts.

Speaker 9 (02:19:09):
Yeah, and there's a new category also that was also
revealed in since you and I have talked last, is
that there are in the quote was hundreds of thousands
of Ukrainian men just refusing to fight. So when they say, hey,
like we want to conduct this this defensive counter attack
here against the Russians in the in the po Krowsk area,
actually over the last twelve hours, many of them are

(02:19:31):
just refusing. They're saying, no, We're just not going to go.
So it's just a compounding problem because listen, I mean,
how are you going to be motivated to risk your
life on an attack when you can see on your
own news feed that Trump is aggressively trying to figure
out how he's gonna end this war. Is You're going
to take the you know, as payment, the rare earth
minerals from the Ukraine side and all that. So you

(02:19:53):
see to get ready to talk to Vladimir Putin. You
know that the war is effectively over. You're just figured
out how it's going to end. You don't want to
be one of the last wants to die for award.
It's already over and we're seeing the results of that
on the battlefield.

Speaker 1 (02:20:04):
Well, and isn't it an interesting reality that Donald Trump
and the United States alone might have that impact. What
about all of the other countries who have been pushing this,
I mean, Britain was pushing arming Ukraine and the rest
of the NATO country are the ones that were being
so alarmist about the encroachment by the Russians and they're

(02:20:24):
going to be in our back door and oh my god,
this is an existential threat to the existence of the
European Union or whatever. And you and I have pointed
out that that's just it's not within the realm of possibility.
At least you and I perceive it to be that way.
But where's everybody else? I'm sort of asking, well.

Speaker 9 (02:20:41):
This I also yesterday afternoon you had to Keir Starmer
meet with not just Deltenberg, Mark Rutta, the new NATO
Secretary General, and they're still talking like it's the second
or third month of the war. Yes, we're gonna uk said,
we're going to give more support, ammunition, training, and everything
else to Ukraine twenty five then in any other year

(02:21:01):
of the war so far. And it just boggles my mind.
What are you trying to accomplish when you have Donald
Trump sitting there saying we're doing the exact opposite, trying
to wind it down, and you're talking about send it
up now. If his thought is well, we'll just do
this to keep the pressure on Putin so that he'll
make a better deal, I mean, that train left the
station a long time ago. That's not gonna happen. There's

(02:21:23):
no pressure you can bring to Putin that's gonna bear,
or it would already have been done. And yet we
seem disconnected at the highest levels in Europe, even from
what Trump's doing much less battlefield reality.

Speaker 1 (02:21:34):
Well, on the heels of our moments ago discussion about
how the Ukrainian soldiers aren't even fighting and they can't
replenish the front line troops. Who in the hell are
they going to apply this training to, Daniel? I mean,
who are you gonna train?

Speaker 9 (02:21:49):
That's exactly the disconnect I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (02:21:52):
Oh my well, pivoting over Tulsea Gabbert, Cash, Mattel, Where
are you on these and good, bad, indifferent? How are
we looking on this?

Speaker 9 (02:22:00):
Yeah, Tulsa Gabbert in particular, is in my view, the
best cabinet level pick that Trump has made, bar none,
and I mean all of them. And she's also facing
the most fierce resistance of any of them, precisely because
she's the most qualified, meaning that she will actually faithfully
do the job, which she said in her inner statements

(02:22:22):
that she's gonna faithfully tell the president what the intelligence
assessments actually are, meaning she's not gonna sway it and
bend it because of a perceived bias that she wants
or that the you know, the establishment in Washington, which
almost always reflectively wants whatever the d and I says
to the President to be Yeah, we have to use

(02:22:44):
military force here, that's what's happened quite frankly most of
the time in the past, and what the the industry
in Washington really wants, and so they have just brought
out the knives against her. It doesn't look like it's
going to succeed. There's been a couple of key senators
and just in the last twelve or twenty or eighteen
hours that have come out and said publicly out of

(02:23:04):
the intel community, they're going to vote for her, because
it's just it's an eight to nine vote just to
get her out of committee, to get her into the
overall Senate vote, which apparently is supposed to happen today.
If she gets through that, and then I think that
it's likely that she's going to be confirmed. But it's
going to be a tight one. But it's one that
I think Trump will benefit from more than any other.

Speaker 1 (02:23:25):
So what I'm hearing is then she is not someone
like we've had before, married to the military industrial complex
and seeking to perpetuate it.

Speaker 9 (02:23:34):
She is an arms length distance from them because she
doesn't want to be swayed by that. Her whole career,
I mean, she took all kinds of heat from the
Democratic Party because also she is not anybody's tool. She's
not anybody's puppet, as she said before, and that got
her kicked out of the Democratic Party. She was a
rising star in the Democratic Party, but she was also

(02:23:55):
an honest broker. And they don't want an honest broker.
They want somebody who was going to play the game. Well,
there's on the Republican side a similar kind of constituency.
They want someone who's good, but only if they can
control them, and she can't be controlled, and so that
scares a lot of them, so they don't want her
in there. And that's why we need her in there,
because she'll just tell the truth, even if it's if

(02:24:16):
the truth is the intelligence says we need to use
military force, she'll tell him that. But if it says no,
this won't succeed, and the intelligence says that this is
not a good place to go, she'll tell.

Speaker 1 (02:24:25):
Him that too. That's what we need in that position,
all right. And pivoting over to cash Betel.

Speaker 9 (02:24:32):
Honestly, I don't have a lot of knowledge about him.
I I've got limited bandwidth and I just haven't been
able to focus much.

Speaker 1 (02:24:38):
On that when I took Youel, that's quite all right,
and I just got out on the heels of a
conversation about our southern border and Pete Hegzeth is considering
maybe launching military strikes against the cartels in Mexico, And
you know, being the constitutionalist, I am uh and I
understand the value of easily eradicating evil actors in the world.

(02:24:59):
But you know, if an evil actor is in my
country and some other country decides to start launching missiles
into my country, as good intentions as that may be,
I might view it as an act of war. What's
your take on doing that? Because we've you know, we've
blown up targets literally in the four corners of the
world with rockets and just sort of random attacks out

(02:25:20):
of nowhere. I've always been sort of suspicious of our
ability to actually do that. Well.

Speaker 9 (02:25:27):
Our ability to actually take out a target anywhere in
the world is substantial.

Speaker 1 (02:25:32):
Yes, and we can.

Speaker 9 (02:25:33):
We have the capabilities, We have the technical capabilities, intelligence
capabilities and all that.

Speaker 10 (02:25:38):
But I am with you on this one.

Speaker 9 (02:25:39):
And I know that there's a lot of different views
on Some of my close friends and colleagues have different
views than I do. But I am a staunch defender
of defending the border. Let's defend our border, let's prevent
anybody from coming in. If we have nefarious actors, we
should use law enforcement or military whatever to take out
that threat to our country in our country. But going

(02:26:00):
into another country, I think is a legal issue. It's
an international rules based situation because exactly what you said,
I don't ever want a president where some China, Russia,
any other country can say, well, there was a bad
actor of ours in your country, so we just took
them out. We don't want that and we would never
tolerate it.

Speaker 1 (02:26:19):
So I don't think that.

Speaker 9 (02:26:20):
I think that we should not do that tier.

Speaker 1 (02:26:22):
But there's a.

Speaker 9 (02:26:22):
Bigger issue to me. You go after the cartails, you
make it a war in the cartels, they will bring
the war back to you. And as bad as a
lot of the stuff is right now, it's not been
open warfare. And just look in Mexico what the cartels
can do when they get mad and they start trying
to strike back.

Speaker 1 (02:26:38):
We don't want that to happen on our soil. Well,
and lord knows what the open borders we've been dealing with,
and the ten to fifteen million people, a lot of
whom were members of various gangs. They're firmly entrenched in
our country. They could start launching terrorist attacks, and you know,
I can see the reprisals coming, and it does indeed
concern me. Daniel Davis Deep Dive find them on line.

Congressman Brad Weinster, Hey, Brad, good to have you back.
On the show. My friend, it's good to be with you, Brian.

Speaker 13 (02:28:50):
Can you hear me all right? Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:28:51):
Loud and clear? Well louden career to what do we
owe the pleasure of a phone call from you today?

Speaker 2 (02:28:55):
Sir?

Speaker 13 (02:28:57):
Well, I'm driving up I seventy one and the Columbus
and was listening to you, of course, and you were
talking about the fentanyl and China, and I just thought
i'd chair so my experiences with the Chinese concerning fentanyl.
I go back about eight nine years ago. I was
in China and amongst our many conversations with their leadership,

(02:29:20):
I said, you know, there's a lot we can do
in health together health, but you sending fentanyl into people's
homes in the United States, You've really got to stop it.

Speaker 11 (02:29:32):
It's got to stop.

Speaker 1 (02:29:33):
And you know, lo and behold.

Speaker 13 (02:29:35):
In twenty nineteen they put a ban on that, but
they never stopped selling the precursors. And then about two
years ago the ambassador, the Chinese ambassador to the United
States reached out and said, oh, I'm going to come
to Ohio and I'd like to, you know, make some
rounds members of Congress see if there's some things.

Speaker 11 (02:29:54):
That Ohio and China can do together.

Speaker 13 (02:29:57):
Well, it turned out the only two people that they
wanted to talk who from Ohio or me and Mike Turner,
And we're both on the Intelligence Committee. So one of
the things he said to me was, yeah, figure that out.
One of the things he said to me was, Hey,
we don't like getting blamed for fentanyl, and I just
looked at him. I said, we'll stop doing it, and

(02:30:20):
he goes, well, we're just selling a legal product. I said,
I understand that. I understand that. I said, well, how
about we team up on that. You want to know
what we can do together. We can work with you
on tracking the precursors and let's see exactly where they
go and if they're going in the wrong hands, maybe
we can prevent that. Maybe we can even work with
the Mexican government on that. Well, then he just only

(02:30:42):
wanted to talk about Taiwan. I just thought i'd share
that story that, Well, we know exactly what they're doing.
It's part of their whole aggressive initiative.

Speaker 1 (02:30:52):
Yeah, it is an element of this ongoing It's sort
of a version of the Cold War we're having. It's
a modern Cold War attacked hacking into our systems putting
to various software in places that could spell gloom and
doom for us, like if they shut our power grid
down or our water and they obviously have demonstrated the
ability to do that, so that that's just sort of

(02:31:13):
a weight and see until they flip the switch kind
of thing. But in the meantime, you know, I am
thoroughly convinced Congress with windsorrip that they are behind a
lot of this global warming, global climate change propaganda because
if they keep perpetuating it and keep crazies like Greta
Thunberg thinking that we shouldn't have, you know, abundant, inexpensive

(02:31:35):
nuclear power to solve our problems because it won't bother
the globe, that they end up gaining a strategic advantage
over us. We're cutting our own throats. They know it.
And meanwhile they continue to build more and more power plants.
And we just talked about that with Brigham A. Outen
this morning on the program, and here we are we
continue to do it. Another element is send the precursor

(02:31:56):
chemicals to Mexico and or Canada so they can be
manufactured in defense Noel which will come into the United
States and reap all kinds of havoc on armed communities.
It's just little things here and there, and it all
adds up.

Speaker 13 (02:32:08):
Yeah, it's death by a thousand fin tricks, right, and
you know in this case, there's one hundred thousand plus
Americans between eighteen and forty five dying every year for
the last four years or so. Yeah, I mean, this
is our next generation there, and they're it's not your

(02:32:29):
drug addict of the sixties or something like that. You
have a lot of people taking things innocently and dying
they think they're taking something else. I mean, it's it's
very calculated, very devious, and you know what they hope.
But the cartel's hope is you get addicted and keep
coming back to them. But if one or two die
along the way, well that's okay. And China's all in

(02:32:52):
favor of that because it's a cancer on American society
and it weakens us in so many ways, makes it
harder for us to have a military if people eighteen
to forty five are dying, So you know, they know
what they're doing. They know what they're doing, and let's see,
hopefully these tariffs are going to make a difference.

Speaker 1 (02:33:10):
Yeah, I suppose it is one thing we can hope for,
so easy for them to stop these shipments. And from
my understanding is Congress retired Congress from Winstrom, they are
the former. There are legitimate medical or scientific reasons that
these precursors can be used for legitimate purposes. The problem

(02:33:32):
is they're not, and so they're ending up in the
hands of drug manufacturers as opposed to elsewhere. If I
if I got that right, otherwise, why are they even
making the precursors?

Speaker 13 (02:33:43):
Yeah, apparently these precursors go into a lot of products
that we use every day. But I will say another
thing too, about fentanyl itself. We're talking about illicit fentanyl
because fentanel, used appropriately at the right dose in anesthesia
is very very effective, especially for short surgical cases. You know,

(02:34:05):
I did a lot of short surgical cases, you know,
one two hours and as opposed to eight, nine, ten hours,
it's very effective. It has a short half leg, it's
in and out of the system quickly. But believe me,
it's nowhere near the dose that people are getting in
these illegal.

Speaker 1 (02:34:22):
Drugs, right And it's really kind of hard to fathom
if we have one hundred thousand plus people dying of
fentyl overdoses every year. How many people does that translate
to that are addicted to it and using it on
a regular basis. It's a frightening thought.

Speaker 14 (02:34:37):
You got it.

Speaker 1 (02:34:38):
You got it, Brad Weinstrup. You know you always have
the hotline number. You can always feel free to call it.
And then you know, from the bottom of my heart,
I can't thank you for listening to the Morning show
on your way up to Columbus. You got anything really
important going on up there?

Speaker 13 (02:34:51):
Well, yeah, I'm gonna start doing some work for a
company called Battel, which I have known pretty well, especially
with my time on the Intelligence Committee. They do bioscience
and biotech and most of their work is for Department
of Defense.

Speaker 8 (02:35:09):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (02:35:10):
And I'm going to be working with them a little
bit as a consultant and I'm looking forward to it.
I've known him for a while and I'm glad they
reached out to me to want to spend some time
with them.

Speaker 11 (02:35:22):
And That's where I'm headed right now.

Speaker 1 (02:35:24):
Well, considering your servicing the American military, couple with your
medical background, it sounds like an ideal fit. So on
behalf of all the listening audience and me. We wish
you the best of luck in that position. I hope
it goes well for you.

Speaker 13 (02:35:34):
Hey, thanks Brian, it'll be good.
