Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Doge digging out.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
They're doing ahow of a job.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
I can't often for the latest.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I call it the Force of super Geniuses.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Fifty five KRZ the talk Station, five O five A
five k r C the Talk Station. Susie Dude, Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Some skin.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
You're fired?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Uh yeah, Actually, maybe it's interesting you chose that sound
by Joe, because that's kind of what I wanted to
watch into is he at the start of the morning
show this morning, and a very happy Tuesday to everyone.
Brian Thomas right here, glad to be glad to see
executive producer Joe Treker where he belongs. And I'm glad
to see a nice right down thanks to judge director's efforts.
Ken Cobra, FLP President returns of the program at six thirty. Question,

(01:05):
what's up with these judges issuing low or un recognizance
bonds to violent and dangerous purpse legitimate question? Sense a
problem for the community. I know that, so Ken Cober
on that topic at six thirty. What we're calling today,
I guess a special big picture With Jack add and
giving the UN vote. The other day, the US sided

(01:27):
with Russia and voting against the resolution that ultimately would
mean nothing. You know, it's it's you know, it's like
a resolution of the SINCEI City Council condemning Israel or
supporting Palestine are like, you know, what impact does that
have on the world? Nothing? What impact does anything the
UN has, anything the UN does have on the world,
probably nothing. And in a case of a resolution like that,

(01:48):
it just is a statement and a statement of disagreement
because not everybody agrees to them. So people are really
upset and they think that this is some sort of
collusion with between Trump and Putin. And I don't know,
question is Trump colluding with Putin? That's the subject matter
of The Big Picture, with Jack Allidan coming up at
seven oh five, the Vake Ramaswamy He's going to be

(02:10):
joining the program at eight five in lieu of the
Breitbart Big the Breitbart Inside Scoop, which is fine substitution
considering you just announced formally yesterday evening he is running
for governor of the state of Ohio. Got a little
bit of a challenge from much from Yost and somebody
else whose name I can't even remember. We'll just throw

(02:32):
her in the also ran category no offense. But as
of right now, the best of my understanding, the Vake
is ahead of Yost in the polling. Some consider Yost
to be in the Mike Dwine camp, which among my
listening audience is not a good place to be. But
you draw your own conclusions. We'll hear what he has

(02:54):
to say and what he's looking forward to in terms
of the direction of the state of Ohio big on education.
I love hearing that transforming education system. He says he's
not going to turn his back on public schools, but
he is going to try to reform them. He wants
merit based teacher pay and I'm kind of questioning the
metrics on that, and I'm gonna have to ask him
about that. Fine conceptually, love the idea, the better the teacher,

(03:14):
the more pay they get. But how do you gauge
how good a teacher is. That's there's some sort of
layering and complexity that you have to look into on
that how it's going to unfold. But that he is
for school education choice, certainly love that idea. He wants
to bring a turn Ohio into an economic powerhouse. So

(03:38):
lots of good ideas generally speaking. So he'll join the
program at eight h five and then we will get
Daniel Davis on for the deep dive. Is finally going
to be an end of the Russian Ukraine conflict. Going
back to the Jack add in a big picture about
Trump colluding with Peutin And honestly, as I step back
from the issues we've got with Russia and I can't
defend them invading Ukraine, we could, you know, look inwardly

(04:02):
and question why we invaded you know, Iraq and uh Afghanistan,
and uh, well we just you know, you get the
thought exercise. But in the final analysis, when when was
it that that modern Russia, post Soviet Russia became this

(04:23):
evil empire? And you know, there are a lot of
evil countries that we do a lot of trading with, oh,
China and others are elsewhere around the globe. Not exactly
a great records when it comes to human rights and
abuses and civil rights and liberties, and but we still
managed to get along with them. Okay, the world I

(04:44):
think would be a better place if we were able
to cooperate with Russia rather than you know, basically engage
in a an arms race with them. We'll see what
Jack has to say about that. So five, and then
also Daniel Davis at eight thirty five on three seven

(05:05):
four nine fifty eight two three Talk Time five fifty
on AT and T FIM going back to the SoundBite,
you're fired real quickly. Here there's a new Harris Caps
Harvard Caps Harris pull out polling. I understand, but overwhelmingly
people like the idea of having an agency that's focusing
on ensuring government efficiency and eliminating waste from the federal government.

(05:28):
And conceptually, who could be against that? Very small percentage
of folks. Actually seventy two percent of registered voters support
that kind of agency. So basically doge nine out of
ten Republicans, two thirds of Independence, six out of ten
Democrats even posters on bipotters and support on a few
general questions about government expenditures and waste, which means both

(05:50):
parties can get around this concept and shouldn't they. Two
thirds of respondent said the current level of debt for
the federal government is unsustainable. That just means one third
of them aren't aware of how the what reality is
it is unsustainable. Just don't even bother listen to a politician,
go to the Congressional Budget Office or any other you know.

(06:11):
Neutral Switzerland like agency entity, and they'll all say the
same thing, and it's actually entitlement expenditures, not the other
expenditures outside of entitlements medicare, medicaid and social security. So
those are the drivers behind our unsustainability, and someone at
some point is finally going to have to sacrifice their

(06:33):
future political career and change the dynamic to save us
from ourselves. Eighty three percent said government should reduce its
expenditures rather than raise taxes to lower budget defice deficits,
you know, cut spending. In other words, three quarters more
than three quarters of respondent said a full examination of
all government expenditures should be undertaken rather than not interfering

(06:54):
with the current contracts and expenditures. Good, and you know
they're getting ready to do the Defense Apartment, which is
a great thing. I love this this headline elon must
doge sending shockwaves through Pentagon X DoD insider says, but
he in the article you will observe, he says, Yeah,

(07:14):
there is a ton of fraud, waste, and abuse in
the eight hundred plus billion dollar annual expenditure towards the
America's military. So yeah, let's go into that one too.
Seven out of ten in this survey said government expenditures
are filled with waste, fraud, and inefficiency, including at least
three quarters of Republicans, independence and even fifty eight percent
of Democrats. So, look, we have something to rally around.

(07:38):
Pivoting over. Here's one area of fraud, waste, and abuse, stupidity,
and the efforts to defend it. For some reason, apparently
federal employees are are untouchable. The reality that some are
getting fired or let go is, oh my god, the
world's coming to an end. These people have families and lives,

(08:00):
and oh my god, what are you doing? Washington Post
criticizing the efforts of a federal government that California's use
Sementy National Park. The Trump administration fired the only locksmith
on staff on Friday. He was the sole employee with
the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors

(08:23):
from locked restrooms. That's a quote. And they're supposed to
be serious about this, and we're supposed to believe that
this guy's sick, maybe goes on vacation. Then the visitors
that get locked in restrooms and how in the hell
often does that happen? Are not going to be able
to get out. Because nobody else has institutional knowledge of
how to unlock a bathroom. They can't hire a local

(08:47):
locksmith to do the job on a temporary basis, or
just call one up on an as needed basis. Nobody
else knows how to open a lock bathroom and usementy
National Park. This guy can't be fired. That's the argument
they're making. Elsewhere in that article, they say the firing
of one thousand Park Service probationary employees quote is what

(09:12):
some are calling a Valentine's Day massacre. Huh. Also Nazi
like Virginia State Delegate Joshua Cole claimed on Friday, I claimed,
he claimed in Friday's Richmond Hearing that his constituents are
with in the congressional district that has the highest concentration

(09:33):
of federal workers in the state. You represent Fredericksburg, right
there next to Alexandria, more federal workers, I guess by
concentration than anyplace else. I must say that I have
seen so many different people on social media rather excited
about these dogs cuts, rather excited about these job losses,

(09:53):
Cole said, And that reminds me of a quote from
a long time ago. At first they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Jewish. Then
they came for the trade unionist and I didn't speak
up because I wasn't a trade unist. And then when
they came for me, there was no one to speak
up because everyone had been taken. So this is akin

(10:14):
to the rounding up of Jews. Then, huh, whatever? I know, Liam,
and he had all boils down to the loss of
money that he foresees coming in the future. He said, well,
back when COVID hit and obviously the shutdown of the government, said,
the difference between now and then is we had extra
money coming in. Yeah, you did, didn't you, Because Joe

(10:37):
Biden started getting the check book out and passing trillions
of dollars of cash infusions, basically to rescue cities from
themselves who had become so indebted that they had no
way to get out. See, that's what I believe was
the cover for all that COVID money going out. But
that's just me, he said, this time, we're actually going
to be losing money over this situation. I'm very interested

(10:58):
in how the loss of that money and fetal income
is going to impact our communities talk to the eastern
Kentucky coal miner communities. Yeah, of course. House Minority leader
there Todd Gilbert had something to say, comparing the loss

(11:19):
of some government jobs to the Holocaust is an insult
to the memory of the millions who were slaughtered by
the Nazi regime, stating the obvious on that one. And oh, look, Joe,
did you notice the line of protesters up outside of
the building this morning protesting starbucks layoff of more than
one thousand workers. They're everywhere, aren't they. Oh my god,

(11:43):
it's the Holocaust. Starbucks said, will be laying off eleven
hundred corporate employees and not be filling hundreds of open roles.
Part of the new chief executive Brian Nichols f it's
to streamline operations. Well, we're he said yesterday. The cuts

(12:09):
would remove corporate layers and duplications and would help the
coffee company become more focused. We believe it's a necessary
change to position Starbucks for future success.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Anybody my listening audience ever been through a corporate restructuring. Yeah,
a lot of people will lose jobs in a corporate restructure.
You won't see a word written in a paper, and
the only reason I think they wrote this one is
because it's well Starbucks. They say these layouts are a
one of the largest rounds of cuts in Starbucks history.

(12:48):
Back in twenty eighteen, they laid out five percent of
the global workforce, that was three hundred and fifty people.
Why the streamline operations make the company more efficient, make
it more profitable. And of course at the app aftermath
of the one thy or eleven hundred employee a layoff
announcement on yesterday, Starbucks shares went up. Why because the

(13:09):
company will be more efficient and ergo more profitable. Oh
and look at this. Unlike the opportunity the Trump administration
provided to those employees who would take a voluntary well retirement,
they get paid through September and not have to report
to work, so it's like they still have a job
all the way through September. Starbucks said it would be

(13:31):
the employees that were affected by this. Laid off workers
would receive pay and benefits at least until May. Tewod
that's why there's all those protesters outside Joe. How dare
Starbucks do this? Yeah, like the Nazis five eighteen fifty

(13:53):
five ker c Detalk stations. Stick around more to come
and I would enjoy hearing from you. If you want
to call up five one, three, seven, four, nine, five,
five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talks. It
is time and pardon me. Wow, I came out of
nowhere for the channel nine first one. Ah see if

(14:15):
I wait long enough, I want to see partly sunny
day to day mild fifty six. It actually says not
cold on the weather forecast Joe overnight LOA thirty five
with partly cloudy sky's Wednesday partly cloudist slight chance rang

(14:37):
better chance at night high A sixty two. Let us
see loa forty overnight and on Thursday partly cloudy day
with a slow should be dry high A fifty A
lot of extraneous information in the news or in the
weather report this morning forty six degrees right now for
five KCD talk station. That's why Joe says he always

(14:59):
used to re maybe it could you know, you could
be editor of the of the weather report before it
gets to me. You could have a look at it
and uh or I could just read it ahead of
time and strike out the superfluous information. If I went
three seven, four nine fifty eight two three talk related
to nothing I've talked about this morning, but I thought
this was rather preposterous and a little indication how bad

(15:22):
things are in terms of crime. We know about San
Francisco and the decriminalization of shoplifting, what that brought the
hell that that brought up the state of California and
other cities in California. You go to Brooklyn where what
is described as a crime battered McDonald's now is going
to prohibit or they're currently is now prohibiting anybody under

(15:42):
the age of twenty from entering without a parent or
a proper identification. They keep it locked.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
They've got a couple of security guards up front carting people.
Nineteen year old manager Amber Hussein talk with The New
York Post, which provided the reporting on this, says that
a group of juveniles had that had swarmed into the
restaurant after school, assaulted a security guard and shattered a
glass door, one of a multitude of crimes. Get a
load of this. The location has prompted three hundred and

(16:15):
twenty four nine to one one calls in the last
three years alone, and apparently it's been a hotspot for
crime for more than a dozen years back in twenty eleven,
one incident captured, of course on video. Two punks ambushed
an eighteen year old as he walked in and shot
him multiple times. They feel sorry for that kid that

(16:36):
got shot, but apparently the victim himself had five robbery arrests,
but he dodged death in that shooting incident. According to
the manager Husseins observations over the year working there, if
you visited during after school hours, upwards of twenty teens
would come in, trash the store, hurl ice at patients

(16:58):
or patrons rather uber drivers of their bags of food,
and fill the restaurant with marijuana smoke. Now they're barring
entry to children and teenagers through the age of nineteen
who are not accompanied by a parent with a proper
ID So I guess they card the parents so they
know who to hold accountable. Apparently after this it was

(17:19):
implemented a post which is doing the reporting again saw
a group of excluded teens standing outside the door shaking
their fists in anger. Now staff with two security guards
at a time barring unsupervised teenagers, which of course has
to drive the price of food up. Now you got
two more salaried people there for the purpose of providing

(17:42):
some form of protection for the people who dare walking
into the McDonald's insanity. Five five kc DE talk station,
local stories coming up, alternative the lead. You can call,
which would be great. Otherwise I'll be right back. We
can stick around fifty five krc dot com. Let's see here,

(18:10):
Maybe a little light rain this morning, say it should
be moving out by six am. I did not encounter any,
but of course I'm only one area. Partly sunny day
high on fifty six. Overnight a thirty five with clouds
sixty two to the high tomorrow with a slight chance
of rain set a better chance overnight or in the evening.
So you got rain overnight storm possibly after seven pm,

(18:32):
low of forty degrees, and then come Thursday it's going
to be partly cloudy and a high a fifty. Right now,
it's forty seven degrees at five KRCD talk station at
five kr SEA dot com. Get your dose of Christopher
Smitheman this smither vent. If you didn't get a chance
to listen, did that conversation with Jennifer crows Gross followed

(18:57):
up by the prior conversation I had with Keith faberback
in January of two thousand and three about Medicaid fraud,
made some progress and identifying fraud, waste and abuse. And
Jennifer Gross's on the sub committee assigned to that project,
and it sounds like she has held been for leather
to get rid of it because as we kind of
learn through the conversations, probably about ten billion dollars is

(19:19):
being wasted. And someone called observe by Jay, my listener,
who's been paying very close and attention to this issue.
He always calls in when we talk about it. An
excellent concept. And think about the vic Gramaswamy being really
focused on education reform. If we clawed back or otherwise
didn't send out into the ether ten billion dollars, we

(19:43):
could all get massive property tax relief. Just apply that
and pay for the schools through that way. That way
we could comply with the Supreme Court decision of twenty
plus years ago saying our current funding mechanism for schools
is unconstitutional, yet nothing has ever been done about it.
Maybe if we use the money that didn't go out
the door and fraud, wasted abuse from medicaid, then we
could fund the schools and you and I would get

(20:04):
a massive relief from property tax. Here's a bill you
weren't expecting. Going to local stories, thank you to Sam
harassmal Witz reporting from WCPO. Residents in the Cincinnati's Linwood neighborhood,
and I'm sure they're not the only neighborhood a bit
stunned because they have to pay to fix the sidewalks.

(20:29):
Many sidewalks are covered in X markings from the City
of Cincinnati meeting those blocks must be replaced every X
you see along the neighborhood. Here on this street and
this street over. If they haven't already, they're going to
get some kind of bill. According to Linwood resident interviewed
Matt Sittak talking to WCPO, he was given a bill.
Are you ready for more than twenty one hundred dollars

(20:50):
by the city to repair the sidewalks by May twenty third? Yeah,
out of nowhere, here's a two thousand dollars bill. You
weren't what you weren't planning on. And he, of course
said that two thousands of dollars a lot of money,
you know. City of Cincinnati Sidewalk Safety Program apparently explains
what sidewalk inspectors are looking for to avoid anyone being

(21:13):
injured due to damaged sidewalks. City spokesperson said, the sidewalks
are evaluated by the Sidewalk Condemnation Guidelines. You didn't know
we had those. They can be found online. Go ahead
use the search engine Cincinnati Sidewalk Condemnation Guidelines. Court to
the website, the X markings are blocks the homeowner is

(21:34):
responsible for. There may be a C marking on some
of the damaged sidewalks, which means those aren't charged to
the resident. The city is responsible for him. Court to
the website the City of Cincinnati. Per the Cincinnati Municipal Code,
the property owner is responsible for maintaining the sidewalk adjacent
to their property. Some exceptions, for example, if the sidewalk

(21:55):
is adjacent to a corner lot in a residential area.
If a resident receives one of these bills, they have
three options ready hire a licensed residential street contractor. City
provides a list of those on the website. Replace the
sidewalk yourself, which is only an option if you have
a proper city license. Joe, you still you keep your

(22:17):
license for repairing sidewalks current you have to do a
continuing edgend education courses annually to keep that thing current
every year. Or you can hire a city contractor to
complete the project. Yeah, it doesn't say union though, but
I do sense the word in there. Joe website reports

(22:43):
of a city contractor can either complete the repairs of
the resident chooses that option, or if the project is
not completed by the deadline, bill can either be paid
by the due date or have the balance collected with
your property tax. God Almighty. New develops in the criminal

(23:10):
cases against the four suspects charge of connection with the
fire that damaged the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge and shut
down southbound ice for seventy one for months. Hamlin County
Common Police prosecute. A court judge Leslie Giz announced yesterday
the two men charge was setting the blaze. Terry Styles
of Arlington Heights, thirty nine years old twenty three year
old Zachary Stump of Owensville, both competent to stand trial.

(23:33):
Each man charged with three counts of aggravated arson and
one kind of arson. They pleaded not guilty, could serve
up the four decades in prison if convicted. Styles lawyer
Monday said she plans a file of plea on behalf
of not the on behalf of the not guilty by
reason of insanity. Of the two suspects, James Hamilton, twenty
six and twenty four year old Keelan Hall of Arlington Heights,

(23:57):
expected to be assigned trial dates. Both are keeping their
current not guilty please according to their attorneys. If convicted,
Hamilton Hall could each face a maximum sentence of six
years in prison. They're accused of giving misleading information to investigators.
Now this is terrible. Community agencies across Boone County have

(24:18):
formed a task force after five juveniles died by suicide
within the school district since just November, effort to bring
resources and a plan of action for those struggling with
suicidal ideation. I guess. Spokesperson for the Boone County Suicide
Response Team, Elaine Zenner, speaking with Fox nineteen, said, you know,
the loss of one loss is too many. Five is

(24:39):
a call to action. It's time for us to come together.
Coroner's office confirmed the five juvenile desks by suicide within
the Boone County School District since November of last year.
In response, parent advocate, school officials, and local police departments,
health officials and more are coming together to form the
Boone County Suicide Response Team with the goal of helping
youths and teams experiencing mental health challenges. You know, I

(25:03):
blame social media a lot on this, and it's easy
for me to do that. There's a lot of reasons
someone might, you know, think suicide is the right option.
But it's another thing I observe about the fake Gramaswamy,
he wants to ban cell phones and smart devices from
schools completely in the entire state. I think that will
be a great step in the direction of better education

(25:26):
and less social media influence, which obviously is having a
profound effect on our young people. Just my two cents
for what they're worth. Stupid coming up. Alternatively, you can
call feel Free. I'll be right back.

Ingram on fifty five kr SE the talk station.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Five forty fifty five K see talk station Happy Tuesday
five point three seven four nine fifty five hundred eight
hundred eight two to three talk here. Christopher Smithmans ran
from yesterday in the podcast pay fifty five kr seed
dot com. No, men should not be competing against women.
He's got a daughter and he's very, very very adamant
about that. Over to the phones we go, Mississippi. James,

(27:00):
Welcome back, my friend. Always good to hear from you.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Hey, good morning, doctor Brian. You know yesterday I want
to piggyback on Dan Hill, and I agree with him
one hundred percent. You know, the priority was to separate the.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Two groups on the bridge, the armed people. Let's remind
our listeners, both sides had guns, long guns and handguns,
and that could have been a shooting situation. That was
Dan's point. At least nobody got killed, and the first
priority of the police was to separate those two and
keep them from shooting each other.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
I agree within one percent on that. That's the first thing.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
Now, after they got separated and Whack went back down
by the Lochland School where that was the opportunity to
get names and Id's all right now to me never
been a police officer, I was a firefighter worked along
with the police officer. And that seemed like, uh, police

(28:01):
worked one oh one to get Id's a name in case.
I've heard him say that many times, I need some
might be from you in case something come up. I
need to reduce my report. So that seemed like police
worked one oh one. Now he may call it Monday
morning quarterback. I'm just looking at it on another end,

(28:22):
So you know, it sounded like some of his bias
is coming out on that. But we agree, no one
got shot. Your kudos to Lachland, Evendale, Hamilton County, whoever
was there. They de escalated, they defused it.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
Now after that, names should have been taken. Well, I
just didn't case.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I don't know. I can't sit here and say that
they weren't taken. I mean there's no I haven't read
any reporting that said nope, the police did not bother
to take names. But I haven't also seen that their
police got names. I don't know that that's even something
any of our locals reporters would be even thinking about doing,
you know, a question that they would even think to ask.

(29:03):
I literally do not know whether or not names were taken,
or a dresses were taken, or IDs were asked for
nothing about that. I mean, everybody's focused so much on
the racism that was going on and the fact that
these two groups both showed up armed, which is the
biggest part of the story. So the minutia behind the scenes,
I can't speak to that at all. I have no

(29:24):
problem with what you're saying.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
About you speaking to it. You know, I understand your position.
It ain't important that Brian can speak to it. It's important.
Did it happen.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
But no, I mean Mississippi, James, you're speaking to it
as well. Do you know whether or not names were taken? No,
I don't, right, that's my point. So I mean, you
can be critical of them if they didn't perhaps, But
I haven't heard anyone say names were not taken or
names were taken. And I don't even know what police
protocol is under those circumstances. Honestly, James, I'm not a

(29:55):
police officer either, so you know it may be a
valid point.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
I've been on the scene a lot of time with
the police officers. I've heard that question asked, Okay, you
know in situation not like that that was that was
different for this day and age. Yeah, you know, and
they handle it, so get an officer kudos, say nobody attacked,
they defuse it, de escalated. That's what I'm all about.

(30:24):
But after that, you know, we don't want to see
bias coming in and just let it be, because I've
seen too many times that they asked, well, we need
our DA just to see in case we have to
do our report, if we need to get back with
you to ask you some questions.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Sure, I'm just yeah, like for example, like For example,
if some citizen comes up two days three days after
it and says, I have a video here showing one
of them beating somebody over the head with a sign
or something, then you'd be right, Well, we've got the
names of the people who are involved. We can follow
up on that. So I get your point. But see

(31:01):
it's a valid point, James. I'm not arguing with the point.
I'm just saying, maybe they did get names in the
absence of information positive or negative. You raise a valid issue.
You hope that they did, and they should have if
they didn't. But I'm just going to leave it out
there for others to contemplate, and maybe someone in law

(31:22):
enforcement that was involved in the incident can call up
and say, no, we got names, or no we didn't,
but here's why we didn't. I appreciate the fundamental point
you're making them. I don't think you need call looking
for an argument, James. But you're just saying maybe that
should have happened, or that should have happened. Five forty

Five fifty to fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Tuesday
over the sack is Stupid. Georgia man has been sent
in to twenty years in federal prison after pleading guilty
to planting a bomb that's severely damaged a woman's home.
Stephen Glosser, thirty eight, of Savannah, pleaded guilty to stalking
in the use of been explosive to commit another felony offense,

(33:13):
according to press release from the US Attorney's Office in
Southern Georgia Southern District of Georgia, there's more to it.
You must also pay a half a million plus dollars
in restitution to the two victims also served three years
of supervised release. According to the US Attorney, the level
of malevel and violence in this case is astounding, and
it's truly fortunate that there were no deaths as a

(33:33):
result of the horrific crime. The successful prosecution is a
credit to the outstanding investigative work of the ATF and
our state and local law enforcement partners. A courd to
officers January thirteenth of twenty three in explosion extensively damaged
a home so powerful according to the authorities. It blew
bricks off the residents and made a two by two

(33:54):
foot crater in the concrete driveway. A woman and child
were in the resident are in the residence at the time,
both uninjured. Glocester and a co conspiracer, Caleb Kinsey, thirty four,
rusted about a month after the explosion. Glossar had met
the woman through a dating app and the two had
a casual relationship that ended at court of the District Attorney.

(34:14):
Glocester and Kent Yes and Gloucester and Kinsey plotted to
quote create a plan to kill, intimidate, harass, or injure
close quote the victim. Why are you doing that? No idea?
They plan to acquire and shoot arrows into the woman's
front door, and buy and release a large python into
the victim's home that would feaze the victim's daughter. Also

(34:40):
planned to mail dog feces and dead rats to her
home and scalp her do what the hells that's in
the guilty fleet. Glocester found the woman's residence using Internet
searches on a cell phone based on an image of
the victim that he previously shared with Glossar. Kinsey purchased
exploding targets online. The two use the material to construct
a bomb that blew up the victims home. Afterward, Glosster

(35:03):
hired a cleaning service the high traces of the bomb
making materials at his residence. She's wheeze idiots doing idiot
things because the idiot oh, I can one up them almost.
You can think about this one next time you go
grocery shopping. A New Hampshire woman was arrested after police

(35:26):
said food at a store was contaminated with urine. According
to investigator's twenty three year old Kelly Tedford tainted produce
at the Monon Knock Food co Op with her own urine. Dear,
what the hell keen? Police said Tedford recorded herself performing

(35:49):
the act multiple times and even posted the video online.
Co op lost fifteen hundred dollars of merchandise and cleaning
costs issued a recall for contaminated items bought from the
bulk department between February tenth and February fifteenth, including red Kinwah,
white Queenwa, tricolored Kinwa. He's got a thing about that?

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Or is it?

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Kinwa? Never could figure that one out, organic corn meal
polenta coconut shreds and raw walnuts. They had the PLU numbers,
the purchase numbers on any one of those. Anyone may
have purchased any of these products can reach out to
the store for information on refunds. Oops, too late, we

(36:33):
had that for dinner last night. Arrested Friday, charge with
croinal mischief. Police st it appears that this was not
the first time she has contaminated items on the surface
with urine. They found videos dating back to twenty twenty
one and believe similar incidents have occurred in Keen and
surrounding communities. So, yeah, what that polenta you bought at

(36:54):
the store back in old calendar year twenty twenty two. Sorry,
I guess it sucks to be you. There's some sick
people in the world. Let's see.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Here you go.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Entire police force of an Alabama city was placed on
leave after five officers, including the police chief and one
of the spouses, were indicted by a grand jury and
arrested on multiple charges. Hansville Mayor Jim Sawyer announced last
Thursday that the employees of the city's police department were
being placed on administrative leave. Coleman County Sheriff's office taken

(37:32):
over Mayor. Announcement came a day after five Hansville Police officers,
including the chief, were indicted by a Coleman County grand
jury and arrested on multiple charges because of the death
of a forty nine year old Christopher Willingham. He was
a nine to one to one dispatcher found in his
office dead. Autopsy determined he died a drug overdose, specifically

(37:53):
from the quote combined toxic effects of fentanyl, gabba, penton azipam, amphetamine,
curris prodal, and metho carbamol. What happened, the jury determined
at William's death was the direct result of negligence and
disregard for life by the police department. Comen County District

(38:16):
Attorney said the evidence room was not secure and was
routinely accessed by individuals who were not authorized to do so. Specifically,
the room had a large hole in the wall. The
room was frequently used by individuals to access evidence through
that hole. Prasing Joe Wow, multiple counts, tampering with evidence,

(38:43):
using office for personal gain, computer tampering, failure to report
ethics crimes, tampering with evidence. It's just all kinds of charges.
Grand jury also recommended to handsfol of police department be
immediately disbanded, calling it more of a criminal organization than
law enforcement agency. On the mayor's decision to put the
entire police force on leave, Hansville City Council had to

(39:04):
meet to discuss the future of the department. That's where
the drugs are. Five fifty six fifty five kr C

on what's up with judges issuing lower on recognizance bonds

(40:15):
to violent and dangerous perpetrators. Well, fast forward an hour
A special big picture with Jack Adviton. Is Trump colluding
with Pewtin? I'm sure that relates to this ongoing negotiations
he's having directly with Peutin with the absence of the
Ukrainian president. And of course you can comment, I'm sure

(40:35):
on the UN resolution that we didn't participate in, and
I just have to regardless how you feel about whether
we voted with Russia or against Russia, and we did
vote with Russia and saying no to the resolution, it's
a resolution, doesn't mean anything, just like most of what
the UN does. Hate the freaking UN it, you know,
the in terms of us just sort of approach. The

(40:55):
idea of getting together is a fine approach, but it
just becomes nothing but a drain on massive resources and
a big protection mechanism for a bunch of terrorist organizations
around the world. Anyhow, sorry, I always have to interject
some negative comment about the UN. The Vake Ramaswamy he'll
be joining the program at eight oh five in lieu
of the bright bark inside scoop. But I'm happy to

(41:17):
have him. He announced formally yesterday, and he's already got
the endorsement of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I know JD.
Vans is Vice President, but the current circumstances, it seems
more like Elon Musk. Anyway, Daniel Davis deep dive on
Russia Ukraine? Is there finally going to be an end
to that bloody conflict? And speaking of JD Vance, I

(41:41):
know this is a story that's near and dear to
many of my listeners. Hearts, because this young child has
been denied a heart transplant because she didn't get the
COVID nineteen vaccine. President JD Vance now stepping in to
help his twelve year old relative. He is a distant
relative related Advance to her adoptive brother, Jacob Dial, who's
married to the Vice president's half sister, Chelsea. Go ahead,

(42:04):
and you try to work the math on that one. Anyway.
Adeline Deal born in China, adopted when she was four,
diagnosed at birth with two rare heart conditions Epstein's anomaly
and wolf Parkinson White syndrome. Jade Vance got winto this again,
distant relative he's I guess it's been circulating on social media,
but I was made aware of it a couple of

(42:25):
days ago. And we're trying to dig in and trying
to help obviously as much as possible. It is a
distant relative, but somebody I care about, so we're trying
to figure get exactly what's going on. Jenny Deal mom
praised Vance's comments helping her daughter or commitment to helping
her daughter and hope the Trump administration would push Congress
to pass a bill to protect unvaccinated Americans from discrimination

(42:47):
in hospitals. And there's more on that. She's received on
and off treatment since arriving in America at CINCINNTI Children's Hospital.
Been going there for nearly a decade, and the family
had hoped that the hospital would perform the trans plan.
Family told by the hospital's doctors that she would not
be placed on the transplant waiting list until she got
vaccinated against COVID and the flu. Joe, didn't they get

(43:11):
the flu vaccine wrong this year? I believe they did
so get vaccinated for something that's not circulating. Ponder that now,
since a children's first parts that it requires transplant patients
to be vaccinated because they need to take the anti
rejection immuni suppress and drugs for the rest of their lives,
making them more vulnerable. So ponder this. So, after doing

(43:35):
the transplant, assuming she got the requisite yet possibly unnecessary vaccines,
are they going to make sure she gets them the
rest of her life because every year there's a new
flu variant. Every year they come up with a new
flu vaccine. Just asking, but probably not because the family
described as non denominational Christians don't have any plans of

(43:56):
giving their daughter a vaccine because they say it goes
against the religious beliefs, which they're entitled to her own
religious beliefs. Regardless of what you think.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
We do.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Live in a country where we have the free exercise
of religion, and there are a lot of folks out
there that don't believe in vaccines. Christian scientists, I think
are like that. They don't believe in medical intervention, divining
it it violates God's will. You know, if something happens
to you, that's God's plan for you, and I guess
you just deal with it, kind of like what we
did before modern medicine. But apparently one doctor on her

(44:26):
transplant team did sign off on the girls surgery even
though she wasn't vaccinated known that about that, but other
people on the team and apparently all members on the
team have to sign on the approval, but several other
members of the team did not approve it, so she
has been denied the opportunity. Recent checkups said she was

(44:50):
deemed stable, but they always have concerns that her condition
could worsen. Now, a bill was introduced on Valentine's Day
by a representative Aaron Hochen publican out of Indiana, which
is where I believe this childhood comes from and lives,
as well as Mike Ruley in Ohio. It's called the
COVID nineteen Vaccination Non Discrimination Acted when sure Americans who

(45:12):
are refused transplants cannot be refused a transplant over their
personal religious medical decisions quote from a representative coach and
denying a child a life saving transplant over a COVID
nineteen vaccine is not science, it's cruelty. Hospitals exist to
save lives, not implos medical mandates on vulnerable patients. Families

(45:34):
deserve the freedom to make the best medical decision for
their loved ones without fear of being blacklisted from life
saving care. This bill will put an end to this
unjust practice. And remember, what do we learn? Children not
usually succumb to the vaccine. And I know she's a
in the comorbid category. See may want intigate that argument,

(45:56):
but generally speaking, COVID not a risk for young people.
So let's take her out of that category given her
corbid condition. Question, does the COVID nineteen vaccine prevent you
from getting COVID nineteen? What have we learned? No, it

(46:18):
also doesn't stop you from spreading it. But I don't
think that's a concern here. In any event, maybe that
bill might pass. And I bring this up one because
I just find it so alarming that that's what's going
on over at Children's. And you know, I praise what
his children have done over the years, and the benefits

(46:40):
of my family has been blessed with with the wonderful
medical professionals at Children's Hospital. This is not an indictment
of them, but it's an indictment of the policy. But
now wait for it, were a moment in time away
from maybe having to go through this again. Experts, it's

(47:00):
a current US outbreak of the bird flu is unlikely
to end without intervention because further mutations of the virus
is likely. New variant of H five and one bird
flu is spilled over into dairy cows, apparently in Nevada
and Arizona, and they're theorizing about how the virus is

(47:21):
spread and leading to questions about containing the ongoing outbreaks,
which apparently not going to be able to do. One
influence of virologists and co director at the Center for
Transmission of Airborne Pathogens at Emery School of Medicine. They've
got one of those, Sima black Dawala, speaking with The Guardian.
It's endemic now in cows. There is no way this

(47:41):
is going to get contained on its own, notice my
emphasis on the words on its own. Current outbreak they
say is unlikely to end without intervention and needs close
attention from the Trump administration. Hmmm. Also pointing out bird
flu continues is happening against the backdrop of the worst

(48:01):
flu season fifteen years. Don't know how the two are connected,
but maybe they are. So you've got bird flu they
found it in rats, that's getting in cows more regularly. Now,
So what does that mean that Means Health and Human
Services announced on Friday, and it was giving approximately five
hundred and ninety million dollars to Moderna to produce an

(48:25):
mr NA vaccine against bird flu and other influenza strains
with pandemic potential. You knew it was coming your taxpayer dollars,
complements of HHS's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. They
say the goal is to get funding ahead of the

(48:45):
H five N one avian influenza strains currently circulating wild birds, poultry, cows,
and sometimes human infections, mostly farm workers up. They're working
on it. Question whether we will don't know that. I

(49:07):
don't want to say fall for it, because I don't
know what this H five and one does the humans.
By all accounts, I think only one person has died
from it. Said it like red eyes, watery eyes. I
don't know if it's deadly. I pray to God that
it doesn't become, you know, a pandemic. I pray to
God it isn't something that is any worse than a
regular flu. But after going through this nonsense with the

(49:32):
COVID nineteen and the firings and the closures and the
dictatorial control over every aspect of our lives, the denial
of people an opportunity to go to church, which might
have been good for people living through a pandemic. I
just wonder whether the American public, if that happens, will abide.
What say, you can do something about joint pain? Though

(49:56):
I hear from listeners a lot about this QC Kinetics
mercials that I'm doing, and you know my view of life,
and I don't have arthritic praying, thank God. But you
know what, if I did, I certainly would contact the
folks at QC Kinetics because I would try to avoid

love to hear from you. It's off, it's on, it's off,
and maybe it's on again. Maybe this time it's actually
gonna happen. I'm talking about the Keystone Pipeline. Donald Trump
yesterday is now calling for the companies to start building it,

(52:26):
come back to America and get it built now. He
was quoted as saying, so, I know they were treated
very badly by sleepy Joe Biden, but the Trump administration
is very different. Easy approvals, almost immediate start. If not them,
meaning the company that was originally building it, perhaps another
pipeline company. We want the Keystone XL pipeline built.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
This project started back in twenty ten, President Obama pulled
the plug on it before it was finished. Trump put
it back in place during his first term. Obviously there's
been litigation, but all the contracts will. Litigation allowed it
to move forward. TC Energy operated Excel pipeline ultimately gave
up on the project in June of twenty one because
Biden pulled the plug on it, canceling the federal permits.

(53:11):
A federal judge in twenty twenty three threw out legal
challenge from nearly two dozen states asking the court to
reinstate the pipeline's permits, so they got the green light.
It was originally scheduled to be completed in early twenty
twenty three. Eight hundred and thirty thousand barrels accrued from
Canada to the US also projected to create thousands of jobs.

(53:38):
A lot of union jobs too, maybe one of the
reasons the union's voted for President Donald Trump. Biden administration
Department of Energy in twenty twenty two, under the Biden
administration published a report that the Keystone Excel project would
have created between sixteen thousand and fifty nine thousand jobs
and would have had a positive economic impact between three

(54:00):
point four and nine point six billion dollars. I see
no bad news in that Biden administration Department of Energy report.
Can you imagine, and of course, ultimately the pipeline's better
for the environment because, as I pointed out, and everybody knows,
Canada hasn't stopped getting the oil out of the ground.
You just got to ship it by railroad car, which

(54:23):
last time I checked, still run on diesel fuel, belching
out tons of smoke and carbon into the atmosphere. You
put it through a pipeline, it doesn't do that. And
look all the jobs that it would create. God, it's amazing.
So all the above energy strategy under this administration may

(54:44):
result in the pipeline getting start again. Jason Isaac's CEO
of the American Energy Institute Quota, this thing, restarting the
Keystone EXOL pipeline alignes with Trump's agenda to lower food
and energy costs by bolstering North American energy infrastructure and
reducing reliance on costly import there's a thought and pivoting

(55:05):
it over to green energy, which is the only reasons.
I guess that's an argument for not building it. But again,
if the oil is coming out of the ground, it's
going to get burned. The world still has run on
lots of crude. You may recall back in January, the
Vista Energy battery storage facility in Monterey County. It caught fire.

(55:27):
Guess what it happened again and alert urged residents to
close windows and doors as fire crews were fighting the blaze.
Why toxic fumes coming from batteries on fire. Last month

(55:47):
it led to an evacuation of residents in the county.
Alerted that the community of unknown hazards posed by the smoke.
And there's all kinds of nastiness that comes out of
these things catching on fire. So the EPA EPA is
now my honitoring the air again sampling for heavy metals
among other toxic chemicals. I don't know how closing your

(56:08):
doors and windows actually helps a situation, but that's what's
going on. Close your doors and windows because the air
from the outside what can't get into your house. If
you believe that I have a bridge, I want to
sell you. Coming up next, Ken cob or FOP president,
to talk about low or no bonds for dangerous purpse
that's going on in here in Hamilton County. First word

(56:30):
for my good friend Peter Shabria Keilor Williams, seven Hills,
outstanding human being. He is just a brilliant brilliant man,
and that brilliance has gathered together and as have been
a magnet for the best real estate talent in the
greater Cincinnati area. And they're offering all kinds of programs
that nobody else is doing. But my fundamental point on
this is if you retain the Shabri Group of Keler Williams,

(56:50):
you're going to get quality real estate agents, whether you
either're a buyer's agent for you or a seller's agent.
And my favorite program they offer is get out of
Dodge program. It's not what it is. But if you
just want to skip the hassle of traditional sales process,
which I know because I've been through it more my
wife than me, because I moved down here and started
working at the new job. I left her with the

(57:11):
task of keeping the house clean and ready and in
order and getting the dogs out while other people showed
up to look at the house. You know, it's a headache,
it's a hassle. Don't have to do that. Skip the
hassle of traditional process. Get in touch with the SBRI group.
Within forty eight hours of them seeing your home, they
will have a cash offer for you. You can close
as quickly as fourteen days after that. So if you

(57:33):
have a property you want to unload quickly, you don't
want to deal with a headache and hassle of showing it.
Called the Shebri group today go to seven zero eight
three thousand dot com or call five one three seven

remember SBRI c Cha b RS group and use your

Six thirty fifty five KRC Detalk station A Happy Tuesday
extra special because we get Ken Cover, FOP President for
the CINCINNT Police Department, six chapter sixty nine, Ken Kober,
Welcome back to the morning show.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Now this topic low or no bond for some pretty
significant offenses. Do the police officers react to this? I mean,
are there Do they get upset when someone's let out
on un recognizance when they have been oh, I don't know,
arrested for carrying concealed weapons and properly handing a firearm,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Is this something that

(59:26):
you know you sort of take personally?

Speaker 9 (59:30):
Oh well, there's no doubt the frustration of having an
armed encounter with a suspect, and I wanted to find
out that they get an O or bond is something
that I constantly get calls out. And as we saw
last week, as I started getting calls, I figured out
real quick which judge was in roomy. And it makes
complete sense because we let everybody out. The reign of
terror for Judge Silverstein has finally ended. She's not in Romayne.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
It this week?

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Oh this week, but what of next week?

Speaker 9 (59:59):
Well, thank god, it's only about they do a rotation,
so all the municipal court judges have to do a
week at a time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
So luckily we only have for about four times a year.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Okay, but she's the biggest offender in terms of low
or no bond and at least in terms of your
perception of how the judges handle bond situations.

Speaker 9 (01:00:18):
By far, by far the worst. And you know, in
twenty twenty two, Issue one was passed by the voters
that said judges will consider public safety when issuing bail,
and it's something she just refuses to do. And apparently
she just snubs her nose to the voters of Ohio.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
I mean, I guess you're not a lawyer, and I
don't know what the procedures are, but it seems to
me that someone might subject her to sort of an
ethical review or a caller on the carpet for not
paying attention to what the law requires. I know, this
all enters in the realm of subjectivity. You're sitting on
the bench and you've got to decide what the bond's
going to be set in. But you know, look like,

(01:00:53):
for example, this Andre Thomas person trafficking and drugs, multiple
counts of trafficking drugs, possession drugs, multiple counts, champering with evidence, vandalism.
I mean all these during one particular incident. That sounds
like a person who is a threat to society.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Without a doubt. I mean, we saw it last week.

Speaker 9 (01:01:13):
I mean there were people that were convicted falons for
carrying guns, convicted of violent felonies, felonious assault, shootings, things
like that, that get rearrested after having been convicted, only
to get our bonds and released right back down.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Of the community.

Speaker 9 (01:01:27):
It's something that's certainly creating a massive danger to the
residents and the citizens the visitors of Hamilton County.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Yeah, a recidivist, that's someone who did not learn a
lesson from the criminal justice system, which is if you
commit crimes, you're going to face some punishment. Clearly, there
wasn't enough punishment there and they aren't facing any repercussions,
so there's no disincentive. Screw it, I'm gonna go back
out and start dealing drugs again.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Yeah, without a doubt.

Speaker 9 (01:01:52):
I mean the most egregious one, or one of the
more egregious ones, I'll say, was an eighteen year old
who was caught a gun. He's not under disability because
he had previously been convicted, but now he's eighteen. He
got an O R bond but was held on a
parole holder, so they took him over to eight twenty
four Broadway Juvenile Court to answer to this parole holder,

(01:02:14):
only to be unhandcuffed, and then when he realized that
he was going to be held, he escaped from a
twenty four Broadway. Thankfully, Thankfully he was rearrested. But this
is this is what's going on in Hamilton County with
certain judges, and it's got to stop.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
We'll take the case of Frederic Weisch, released on his
own recognizance. Count A carrying a concealed weapon, County improperly
handling firearms in a motor vehicle count see having weapons
while under disability count the failed to comply with an
order or signal of the police officer, so uncooperative on
top of everything else, out on his own recognizance.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Yeah, there was another one I posted last week.

Speaker 9 (01:02:54):
A guy that's a convicted felon from federal gun and
drug charges did a federal sentence guy back out. He
was another one that was stopped, ran from the police.
He was drunk, head cocaine, had another gun, and we'll
just give these people o our bonds.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Well, I'm glad you're bringing this to the public's attention
because obviously elections have consequences, and this was a bad consequence.
Do you know when this judge is up for re election?

Speaker 9 (01:03:22):
Unfortunately not till twenty twenty nine. Oh no, because there
are six year terms with the municipal court. And that's
why I actually had posted on our social media page
that it was the district that she has includes Anderson Township,
New Town, Norwood in Fairfax. Those are the folks that
are responsible for getting her into this office.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Anderson Township. Hmm, that's rather interesting. Wonder what Andrew pappas
former trustee has to say about that. Well, it's it.
We're at a break, so let's bring you back and
we'll have a little bit further conversation about this because
it's frustrating. But it doesn't seem as though there's anything
else we can do about it other than keep raising
awareness about this. We'll see if there's opportunities for us

(01:04:05):
to do this pause, we'll bring Ken Cobra back Fop
President Ken Cover. It's six thirty five fifty five KRC
detalk station. That'll give me an opportunity to mention my
favorite auto repair shop, Foreign Exchange, west Chester location. My
friend Austin has assembled an amazing team of ASE certified
Master technicians. They can work on any type of traditionally

(01:04:25):
imported manufactured car, like from Europe or Asia. You got
an exotic car, take it to Foreign Exchange. You got
a run of the mill car, take it to Foreign
Exchange and you'll get it fixed. You'll get a full
warranty on both parts and service, and you won't pay
as much as the dealer and quite often a substantial savings.
I regularly mentioned my oil change, so here I'm doing
it again. A simple oil change for my car at

(01:04:47):
the dealer is like four hundred and fifty bucks. I
get the same oil and the same filter at Foreign
Exchange for a little over two hundred bucks. I call
that a significant saving. It's like half or more than half.
So why Lord knows why they charge so much of
the dealer. But you don't have to get down that road.
And car repairs have gotten more and more expensive, just

(01:05:08):
like everything inflationary, plessure pressure's, supply chain issues. It's just
going to cost you a heat blow. So don't get
down that road. Go to the road that leads to
Foreign Exchange Westchester location. That's Tylersville Road off seventy five.
Go east off that exit two streets. It's I mean
like an eighth of a mile. If hanging right on
Kingland Drive and you run right into that wonderful shop,
they'll treat you great. They're wonderful people. They're very friendly.

(01:05:31):
If you want to talk to the mechanic, you have
the opportunity to do that at Foreign Exchange, unlike the dealer,
where you have to deal with the service manager exclusively.
So get a full warranty on parts and service. Put
a smile on your face for not having to pay
as much five one three six four four twenty six

and Kyle's shock INGRAMOM fifty five KR see the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
Brig Thomas here with FLP President Ken Coble for this
to say, police, we're talking about the low or zero
bond un recognizance bond, and the problem seems to lie
in the lap of Municipal Court Judge Samantha Silverstein, who
we had a couple of demonstral illustrations of someone who
should have had a much higher bond, absolutely representing a

(01:07:17):
danger to society which they are required to consider, and
apparently she's not. Now is she defying or running against
I guess fundamentally, are the prosecutors asking for a higher
bond and she's just denying that? Or are has the
change of the prosecutor's office under now Connie Pillage not

(01:07:40):
pushing for higher bonds?

Speaker 9 (01:07:43):
No, I mean they're still asking for bonds. She's made
up her mind and when she ran, she ran on
being this social justice bail reform person. So it's no
surprise that she's holding true to what she said that
she was going to do. So you go in there
in front of her in room May and she'll say, well,
how much money is it? How much money do you
have to be able to get out today? And if

(01:08:03):
you say I don't have any money, then she goes,
we'll just give you no our bond.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Okay, right. I don't know how that represents social justice,
my friend. This is someone who has committed a crime,
and especially notably the recidivus, those who have already been
before a judge and been convicted on crimes. They have
demonstrably illustrated that they are criminals engaging in criminal behavior,

(01:08:29):
and the justice system has any impact on them. Because
they continue to do it, they represent a threat to
the very community that she thinks she's serving through social justice.

Speaker 9 (01:08:40):
That's what your listeners have to understand. I'm not complaining
about somebody that picks up a theft charge or a
dy you not that those aren't, you know, crimes, not
that those aren't things that you should be put forward.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
But I'm talking about the.

Speaker 9 (01:08:52):
People that are the worst of the worst, the people
that are committing violent crimes over and over and over again.
Those are the ones that need to be held and
make them as they're going to make a bond, make
them heave an investment. Yeah, so that way we know
they're going to come back to court, and that's just
not being done.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
Well, you know, under Prosecutor Melissa Powers, she rallied against
this all the time. She was outspoken on the subject.
She was reported in the paper she would post things
on her Facebook social media showing these ridiculous low to
no bond situations with very dangerous people. Does Connie Pilach
have any say on this? Has she uttered a syllable
about this? What you and I perceive to be problem?

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
I have not heard her say anything public about this.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Well, I know she's busy protesting in front of Tesla Joe.
I know that she's got more important things on her plate.
I suppose, wow, I mean, other than just bringing this
to our attention, is really is there anything we can
do about it? If she's so defiant and refuses to
follow Ohio law on this matter, I guess we're just

(01:09:57):
kind of stuck, aren't we.

Speaker 9 (01:10:00):
Well, the only solution to this, if there really were
to be a solution, it's kind of There's two options.
One is for the public to file complaints with the
Supreme Court, because that's ultimately who would hear these things?

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Are they going to do anything about it?

Speaker 9 (01:10:14):
It depends I think it's likely not just because judges
are given a certain not a latitude. But the only
true answer to be able to get rid of this
would be an attempt to have somebody you know, create
a coalition and have her recalled. I know it's been
done out West with mayors and other elected positions, but
that's really the only recourse it would be to have

(01:10:34):
her recalled.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
Well, that sounds like an outstanding idea under the circumstances,
because these are not one off things. This same judge
time and time and time again does exactly what we're
talking about here this morning, so we have a long
record of it, and I think that might justify a
recall petition. So maybe someone that the listening audience can
spearhead that and we might get some justice and some

(01:10:58):
safety for our communities, because clearly communities are in jeopardy
when folks like this are let out without bond, without
a stake in the action, and with no incentive to
stop their criminal activities. Well, I wish it was better
news from you today, but but often we have to
deliver the bad in order to bring about change, and
you've done that for my listening audience today. Ken, real
quick here I had a caller earlier moving over to

(01:11:19):
that Evendale situation. I hate to put you on the spot,
but under what circumstances would have been And I don't
know if names were taken down, but one of my
callers earlier this morning seemed to suggest it would have
been a good idea for the police to gather up
names and identification to know who these people were. I
don't know, maybe some evidence of a crime. I pop
up later someone had video footage of someone maybe hitting

(01:11:40):
somebody on the head. Is can you do that if
you're not aware or have a reasonable, articulable suspicion of
a crime or probable cause? Are you still allowed to
ask for and get someone's name and write it down.

Speaker 9 (01:11:53):
Well, you can ask, but they don't have to give
it to you unless you're investigating a crime. And I
know that this is a very heated topic.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
It is.

Speaker 9 (01:11:59):
I don't blame them the things that going on that
was absolutely ridiculous, but I do know that the police's
main objective in that situation, especially when you're dealing with
people that are armed, is to make sure no big
gets shot. Right, So their main objective is to make
sure that the people that are causing this confrontation as
well as the people that are you know, highly charged
about this and emotionally charged, and I get it. Is

(01:12:21):
to make sure that this ends peacefully. That's the main objective.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
Yeah, And he did acknowledge that and give you probs for,
you know, de escalating. That was most the best of
a result that could have happened that day under the circumstances.
So I was just merely inquiring because I didn't I
don't know one way or the other, under what circumstances
you can get their names. You point out that they
don't have to give it unless there's a crime being investigated.
So maybe that you tried, not you specifically, maybe the

(01:12:45):
police tried and we're denied. But there was no reporting
one way or another on even whether that effort was
engaged in. So we were just merely speculating about the circumstances.
But I appreciate you addressing it and clearing the air
for can for us, Ken Coober, keep up the great
work and God bless us. Since a police department, you
least have great support among my listening audience for the
work that you're doing keeping communities safe and of course

(01:13:07):
bringing this ridiculous bond situation to everyone's attention.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):

a happy Tuesday.

Speaker 10 (01:15:41):
Thanks Bryan, good morning. Two kind of random comments. One,
My husband and I were at the vak's announcement last night.
It was amazing. His wife also spoke. You can just
tell they're just an authentic, energized couple that is going
to bring really really good things to Ohio.

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
That was very.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
Exciting and brilliant both of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, resumes
are just insane. It's like, you know, having an Elon
Musk type of person running for government the state of Ohio.
That both of them are just absolutely off the charts geniuses.

Speaker 10 (01:16:20):
Yeah, what a blessing it is for us to be
potentially claiming him. My other comment is, you were talking
about Children's Hospital, and I think a lot of people
feel like what you said about your family receiving you know,
amazing care, and my family has as well, But it
doesn't take away from from the things that they're doing

(01:16:43):
that are that are awful, you know, including the transgender
and hormone blockers. And so it's like this facade is
out there and they can't be touched because they're so
wonderful and gives such wonderful care. But on the flip side,
they're doing the opposite.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Well, I can't deny that, but I suppose, you know,
when it comes to that gender reassignment stuff, and I
firmly do not believe in that. I mean, the idea
of a young person who has not enough life experience
to make these life literally life changing decisions, would be
recommended to go through this by some physician whose obligation

(01:17:22):
under the Hipocratic oath is to do no harm. I mean,
there are a lot of people who've gone through gender
transition that regretted it, like there's no tomorrow. I mean,
they're out there screaming and yelling, but please do not
do this. I was young, I was uninformed, I was
steered in that direction by physicians. They have an obvious
profit motive to do that, right, I mean that and
loan should taint the whole thing. But you know what

(01:17:47):
I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (01:17:48):
Yeah, And I don't know if anybody, your callers or
your listeners rather know about the story in Texas, who
has the largest children's hospital, they had a doctor to
come out and being a whistleblow because they were saying
that they had stopped all of the gender care and
they hadn't. And he actually had charges, bogus charges brought

(01:18:11):
against him about some kind of data breach, which actually
those charges were dropped a few weeks ago. But I mean,
I think, you know, like like you were talking about
Melissa Powers being defiant, I think these hospitals are are
going to be defiant with this as these new laws
come down, and it's going to take somebody braids to
step out and speak against it that's within the system.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
Well, or a prosecutor if they're violating the law by
engaging in these gender transitions for people under the age
of whatever the law in any given state says, then
they could be prosecuted for doing it. It only takes
one person to come out and say no, they're doing
it to me, or some family to step up and
say no, they recommended to send us over to the
gender transition department, and I guess they're still doing it
and then be subjected to the state law. There's hope

(01:18:59):
built into the equation right there, and I just like
to think that hopefully in some near future point, some
point in the near future will reflect back on this
like other European countries have, that this is not proper,
that this is not something that is positive for young people,

(01:19:20):
that counseling is the direction to go, and that's what
was the norm for so long. If someone was of
the mind that they were actually the opposite sex, then
they would sit them down on the psychiatrist's couch or
the psychologist's couch or the counselor's couch, and they'd walk
through that and talk to them about the reality of life.

(01:19:43):
And that merely by cutting something off or sewing something on,
if you go all the way down that path, it
simply does not change your biological reality. You merely have
a physical outward physical change, and that you will not
get the enjoyment of let's just say it out loud,
sex enjoyment with a false you know, genital there are

(01:20:08):
multiple complications that go along with it. It's just not
the same. I can accept someone of that mindset. I
mentioned previously dated and anorexic girl a long time ago,
and you know, that's just what she was. And you
know she looked in the mirror and believed that there
was a fat person right there. That's what she saw.

(01:20:31):
That's a reality, even though she wasn't. So that's where
we need. We will live with people like that. We
like to hope for the better, and we like to
hope the counseling and education and training can work them
through these problems. But you know, if you want to
be a go through life believing that you are someone else,

(01:20:52):
I have no problem with that. My problem is it's
the harm that it's doing two really young people get
through eighteen years of life at least before you make
a life altering decision like that. Don't take that decision
making out of the hands of parents. Parents need to
be thoroughly engaged in this process. They're there to protect

(01:21:16):
their young person, and maybe some people out my listening
to audience no One, someone who's been this way and said,
you know, no what, actually I'm not peer pressure pushed
them into making this this change. Yes I'm actually a
woman when no, no, no no, I outgrew that. That's
the thing. The more life experience you have, the more

(01:21:38):
you can practically evaluate situations and make informed decisions on
your own.

Behalf.

Fifty five KRC the Talk Station and very happy Tuesday
to you. Extra special as always of this time we
get to hear from our good friend, brilliant historian, lawyer,
former anchorman and author, Jack Atherton. Always a pleasure to
have you on my program, Jack, and enjoyed having you
and your beautiful wife Ames over for dinner this past

(01:22:23):
Saturday night.

Speaker 11 (01:22:24):
Wasn't that fun?

Speaker 6 (01:22:25):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:22:26):
Agree Weather, I'm feeling great today because as Francis. President
Macrome just said at the White House we could be
on the verge of lasting peace in Ukraine thanks to
Donald Trump. That's what macrohme said. Maybe, just maybe, Brian,
the rest of the world doesn't want Trump to get
credit for that. So the UN chose yesterday to condemn Russia,

(01:22:50):
a resolution the US opposed, along with Israel, which has
been condemned by the UN itself more than one hundred
and ninety times. Actually, eighteen nations supposed yesterday's resolution, and
the news isn't telling you this. Sixty five nations abstained.
Yet all we hear about is Trump. But Brian, who cares.

(01:23:13):
The last time the anti American UN seem relevant to
me was when I was a kid collecting coins for
UNISEF at Halloween.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
Did you do that too?

Speaker 9 (01:23:24):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
I did not participate it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
You always hated the UN?

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 11 (01:23:29):
Look, what does matter is that after Trump reaches a deal,
Europe now wants to place peacekeeping forces inside Ukraine like
the ones we've had in South Korea for seventy years.
And instead of giving Ukraine a blank check to continue
with three year bloody stalemate, Trump wants the US to
invest in Ukraine's rare earth minerals to give us a

(01:23:52):
stake in a peaceful future. So peace at last, not
for Democrats. Voters have rejected every single one of their policies,
from open borders to inflationary waste. Democrats are now replaying
their greatest hit, Russia. Russia, Russia, the lie that Donald

(01:24:13):
Trump is colluding with Vladimir Putin. That lie led to
a two year probe by Special Council Robert Muller that
uncovered nothing because there was nothing to uncover, and the
Russia lie led to a failed impeachment that exposed our
own intelligence agencies, including the corrupt FBI. Yet Democrats are

(01:24:36):
trotting out Russia once again because Donald Trump wants to
end the slaughter in Ukraine and pressure both Zelensky and
Putin to accept reality. Brian, what is that reality? We
do history, friends, So let's go back to World War II.
At the end of the war, Franklin Roosevelt at the

(01:24:57):
Yolta Conference gave Stalin a free pass to annex eastern Europe.
Three hundred million people lived behind the Iron Curtain for
the next fifty years, including Ukrainians. Harry Truman finally stood
up to Stalin, and the Cold War turned scorching hot
for American soldiers in Korea and Vietnam. The Cold War

(01:25:21):
only ended when Ronald Reagan ramped up to torrence in
Europe with medium range ballistic missiles and a Strategic Defense
Initiative SDI, which Democrats attacked. Reagan's peaceful deterrence led to
something no one expected to see in our lifetime, the
collapse of the Soviet Union. One consequence of that collapse

(01:25:44):
was that Ukraine became the world's third biggest nuclear power,
thanks to weapons that the USSR left behind after nineteen
ninety one. You didn't mess with Ukraine until Bill Clinton
and Russia to defend Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine's surrendering
their nukes.

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
Where did that lead?

Speaker 11 (01:26:07):
In twenty fourteen, Vladimir Putin seized Ukraine's key port Crimea,
and Barack Obama, in response sent Ukraine blankets. Wait, it
gets worse. In twenty twenty two, Joe Biden said he
could live with Russia launching quote a minor incursion. Biden
appeared to be inviting Putin to seize Ukraine's eastern pro

(01:26:31):
Russian territories. What's called the Dunbass region that Putin now
controls Now Biden had already declared war, not on Russia,
not on anything. On Trump's energy independence that drove up
the value of Putin's oil and natural gas. Sky high
energy prices financed Putin's invasion, as well as Iran's funding

(01:26:54):
off hamas Hesbola and Huthi terrorists. Neither Putin nor the
Ayatola's inspected Biden because they had seen the cowardly way
he betrayed our allies and our soldiers in Afghanistan. The
upshot is that Putin not only invaded eastern Ukraine, he
tried taking Kiev and the entire country. Biden responded by

(01:27:15):
giving Ukraine just enough arms and money to keep this
war going indefinitely, all to the benefit of America's bloated
military industrial complex. This Brian is what Trump inherited. A
million casualties, a country that looks like Hiroshima, and no
end in sight to the fighting. So Trump is now

(01:27:39):
working to once again bring down the price of oil
and gas. You talked before about the Keystone Excel pipeline
that Obama and Biden tried to end, Well, Trump is
going to bring it back. That will choke off Putin's revenue. Meantime,
the quickest and most human way to end this war
is to do let's go way. We should do what

(01:28:01):
Teddy Roosevelt did during the Russian Japanese War in nineteen
oh five. Negotiate a deal, not a perfect deal. There
is no perfect deal to be had. Zelenski wants not
only the land that Biden surrendered, he also wants the
port that Obama surrendered. You can't blame him, but look,
Putin is a villain, but he is the villain now

(01:28:25):
holding most of the cards because in a war of attrition,
Putin can keep sacrificing his vastly bigger armed forces, not
to mention Korean forces that are joining him, and Putin
can threaten a nuclear attack. Putin is demanding to keep
those eastern territories that are pro Russian. Is this fair No,

(01:28:45):
But as Jimmy Carter said, life is not fair. Heroic
Ukraine cannot get all at once without the US going
to war, a world war with Russia. So in this stalemate,
Trump is trying to save lives on both sides, and
he wants American taxpayers to quit financing a ruinous war

(01:29:05):
that never would have started had Trump remained president in
twenty twenty one. Putin did not seize a single acre
of land during Trump's first term. One last thing, Brian,
the left is now squealing about Zelensky being insulted because
Trump talked to Putin first, folks. That's the way Trump operates.

(01:29:27):
He's not looking to copy Vietnam's Paris peace talks, where
it took months to decide on the shape of the
table and we still wound up evacuating from Saigon in helicopters. Yes,
Trump knows Putin started this war after getting a green
light from Biden. The reality now is that Trump is
looking for concessions that both sides can live with. Peace

(01:29:51):
is in side, Brian, Let's not be blinded by never Trumper's.

Speaker 1 (01:29:55):
Yeah, excellent analysis, Jack, And as always, you do a
wonderful job incorporating history to get to the point you're making.
It's just a brilliant, brilliant thing you do, and my
listeners thoroughly appreciate it, as do I, and can I
ask you wasn't one of the reasons the Soviet Union
collapse is because it was so economically backward, and because,
of course the structure of the country and the political

(01:30:17):
philosophy of the country, but also backward in so many
other ways. But because they couldn't keep up with the
arms race, they couldn't keep up with the militarization of
the NATO countries. He mentioned about Ronald Reagan placing the
strategic missiles there and that that led to their economic collapse.

Speaker 11 (01:30:35):
Look what's going on right now. Trump is pushing the
NATO countries to come up to their two percent obligation
on military spending, and many of them have, including France.
Trump now wants them to go up to five percent
to help pay for this war and the peacekeeping and
all the rest. What is Russia pay at this point
ten percent? And of course China is paying even more

(01:30:57):
than that. Yeah, they tried to keep up with us.
Why Ronald Reagan was brilliant enough to realize, let's start
a whole different kind of defense that Russia will feel
threatened by. But what was not threatening SDI what the
Democrats called Star Wars, was a defense mechanism like Israel's
Iron Dome. But Russia couldn't keep up with that, and

(01:31:17):
they had all kinds of other problems. Their economy was
a mess. It was you waited online six hours to
get a pair of shoes that didn't fit well.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
And I also noticed there was a headline and can't
recall which news outlet. I wouldn't have printed it if
it wasn't at least a justifiable, reliable news outlet. But next,
German Chancellor of Frederick Murray, harshly criticized as Trump and
must says NATO could be finished soon, calls for quote
independent European defense capabilities. And I'm thinking to myself, you know,

(01:31:48):
part of my comment about Russia going bankrupt basically and
falling because of the arms race. We spend eight hundred
and fifty billion dollars a year on arms and that's
breaking our bank literally. Now if this maybe, I don't
think we're necessarily going to break with NATO. But if
they are going to start arming themselves and creating their
own defense capabilities, isn't that something they should have been

(01:32:10):
doing all along? They've been kicking back and let us
become the police force of the world and spending the
money that they would otherwise spend on their own defense
on their own countries elsewhere.

Speaker 11 (01:32:20):
The price that we paid for winning World War Two
is that we consider the rest of the world to
be dependent on us. We're the greatest nation in the
history of the world, and one of the greatest moments
in our history. We've often talked about this was the
Marshall Plan in Europe and the reconstruction of Japan after
we help them come up with a democratic constitution. Yes,

(01:32:41):
Europe is no longer a dependent body of land. They're
no longer at the EU or NATO needing to feed
off of the United States to hide behind us for
their protection. Absolutely, does that mean that we break with NATO.
Macrone wasn't talking about that. I mean, it was a
LoveFest yesterday with it was so Yeah, it's not gonna happen.

(01:33:03):
But by all means Europe should be paid for more
of this defense. After all, the money that Europe is
saving by not spending on defense is going toward socialism.
Who needs to subsidize that?

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
I know, Well, the socialists need the subsidization because socialism
doesn't work.

Speaker 11 (01:33:23):
Our democrats, I mean, that's what they want us to
spend all of our money on, and the money that
we haven't had for decades.

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
Well, and one more point I think I need to
make is in terms of energy policy. I mean, Europe's
kneecapped itself. They pursued this green agenda for so long
they've cut off all of their own resources. They refuse
to tap into resources. They think they can rely on
windmills and solar panels. Germany most notably doesn't have any
of its own power, which means they have to rely

(01:33:53):
on what energy bought from Russia. As I understand it,
let's see here that help of.

Speaker 11 (01:34:00):
The reasons that World War two started was that Hitler
was looking for coal. But mers is not as bad
as Angelo and Mercyl. Oh, now what they've had since then.
He is somewhat conservative. He is having a partner up
with even more conservative people, and he's talking about ending
the illegal immigration and looking for energy independence, and by

(01:34:20):
all means, let him spend some money to defend himself.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Jack Edenan is always just such a joy and pleasure,
and to have you on the program every week again,
appreciate your thoughtful analysis, very insightful it always is. So
you're welcome on the show anytime. And of course thanks
again for coming over to the house for dinner. We
just had such a wonderful time the conversation with you

Daniel Davis Deep Dive at eight thirty. He also will
be talking about an end of the Russia Ukraine conflict

(01:36:09):
and the other other component of IS And I know
Jack alluded to it, but Trump's talking with Putin not
just about trying to end the conflict, which is a
really important thing, but engaging and getting involved economically with
the United States and Russia because they've got stuff we want.
Russia obviously wants to improve its economy. I think they'd
be happy to sell stuff they've got to us to

(01:36:32):
improve their economy, and that would allow us to get
access to Russia's natural resources, you know, rare earth minerals
and whatever else they have, and not have to rely
on China for such things. And maybe an improvement of
relations between Russia and the United States might tear away
Russia from its you know, cuddling up to China. And

(01:36:52):
of course the situation Ukraine between Russia and Ukraine, with
US being the lead agitator by providing all the weapons
of Ukraine them into each other's arms. We've seen that
relationship develop over the years, because you know, you go
back to the Cold War era, so the Chinese and
the Russians didn't play along nicely at all. And I
think that may have been mixed one of the reasons.
And here I am speculating, but it seems logical that

(01:37:15):
that may have been one of the reasons Nixon reached
out to and opened up trade with China. That obviously
had a delitious effect on Russia. And of course our
effort was hopefully that they would ultimately become a capitalist
nation rather than the communist regime that they are by
improving their lives and their economy through freer trade, their

(01:37:36):
lives would improve, and maybe they would get away from communism.
Clearly that's not what happened, gentlemen, square happened. But if
we could engage in open trade with Russia, I think
that would near to everyone's benefit. He's also trying to
negotiate a similar agreement with Ukraine. Ukraine's got natural resources
that we want, we would obviously have to extract them

(01:37:58):
and buy them. I don't think we're going to get
him for free. So seemingly valuable infusion of industry and
capital into Ukraine through whatever's going to happen to have
to happen to in order to extract these precious resources.
That sounds to me like something would help Ukraine build.
And the other thing we can't lose sight of, and

(01:38:19):
it's something we talk about with Daniel Davis all the time.
You know, the folks in Crimea, they're pro Russia. And
of course, as Jack was talking, I was thinking about
all those counties in southern Illinois that want to break
away and join Indiana, or the giant chunk of California
that wants to break away and form its own safe
They're held hostage by an administration and a state whose

(01:38:43):
policies they have utter disdain for. So I try to
be objective on this, but the Democrats really just it's
sort of turned into the reverse of the way we
were with the Soviet Union. Democrats always objected everything Reagan
did in defiance of the Soviet Union, and you know,

(01:39:08):
we always looked at them as these capitulation and oh
my god, you're caving to the Soviet Union. So now
we're the flip side. Now, world's a weird place, you know,
passage of a couple of decades just flips things on
top of its head. But I'm trying to be, you know,
sort of neutral in my analysis on all this, and
it just seems to me, in the grand scheme of things,
if we weren't in an arms race with the Russians

(01:39:30):
as well as the Chinese, that might inhar to our
benefits substantially as well. And Russia apparently has a lot
of uranium. There's another thing. We got quite a few

Jay Jay, thanks for calling today, welcome, Hey.

Speaker 12 (01:42:01):
Thanks Brian. He wanted to notify the listeners that there
is a piece of legislation SB one oh nine that
is co sponsored by Bill Blessing, so called Republican down
in near Cincinnati. And this is this is for free
breakfast and lunch for all public schools. What's amazing is

(01:42:23):
the price tag on free these days is three hundred
million dollars. And I knew inflation was bad, but when
free goes to three hundred million, uh, that's a lot.
And this is at a time when everybody's property taxes.
Remember seventy percent of your property taxes school tax is
Bill Blessing and people like him continue to put three
hundred million trunk at a time into school, your property

(01:42:46):
tax are going to keep going up. And this is
also you know, he's kind of needs to read the room.
This is also the time when the when Doe is
taking a look at federal programs like for EBT cards
and finding out that the number one thing being purchased
with EBT on the rest of our tax dollars. Is
I believe soft drinks.

Speaker 1 (01:43:06):
Soft drinks, yes, which I think is at abomination.

Speaker 12 (01:43:10):
Yeah, so maybe Bill Blessing a Republican rhino. Whoever inflicted
us with him, listeners, would you please call him? And
remember Thomas mass He said one time that a normal
week he'll get one email. So I'm going to ask
that we get at least ten. But let's shoot for
one hundred people to light up Bill Blessing's inbox. And also,

(01:43:33):
whoever your state senator is, Min's Steve Wilson, and I
sent him a message and would love to have Steve
Wilson come on or Bill Blessing. I would love to
have Bill Blessing come on explain to the listening audience
how it is he thinks that we can afford this
because he thought it was just a perfect idea.

Speaker 1 (01:43:48):
I appreciate your calls very much, Jay, You're always on
top of things, and yeah, I'll echo your recommendations. The
best thing to do is get in touch with your
elected official on so many issues. Because Jay's right, hardly
hear from anybody. They get ten calls on one subject
matter of a week. That's like a statistical sampling of
how the constituents feel and they do take it seriously

(01:44:10):
from time to time. Becky, Welcome to the Morning Show.
Thanks for calling. Good Morning Morning, Becky.

Speaker 11 (01:44:19):
Hi.

Speaker 13 (01:44:20):
I wanted to give a perspective about unrecognizance bond. Several
years ago. I worked for Hampton County at the Justice
Center and it was my job to be sure our
people got.

Speaker 10 (01:44:30):
Back to court.

Speaker 13 (01:44:32):
And the system that was used then was based on
the VIA scale and it was all about the likelihood
of somebody returning to court and the safety of the community.
We need to get back to that today. There was
a wonderful tool that was used by those of us
in pre trial services and we went through and you
had to reach a certain.

Speaker 10 (01:44:52):
Score to qualify for o R.

Speaker 13 (01:44:55):
If the judge chose to give your even if you
didn't qualify, then our agency, my job was to try
to keep you out of trouble and get you back
to court.

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
Well, and that sounds like what the current law requires.
If you represent a potential flight risk, that's a factor
they're supposed to take into consideration when establishing the bond rate.
But also community safety is something that most of the
liberal judges were ignoring, but that's now been codified into
law that they're entitled to and should take into consideration
the safety of the community when considering what.

Speaker 2 (01:45:27):
The bond is.

Speaker 1 (01:45:29):
So get it correct. Going back to the old ways
are the best ways sometimes, right, Becky.

Speaker 13 (01:45:35):
Yes, I agree. Figure out what to do about these
Maverick judges who are taking this into their own hands.

Speaker 1 (01:45:42):
Well, and you know there may be ethics violations or
judicial canon violations that judge I guess at soular esteem
might be subjected to, or as someone suggested earlier, perhaps
a recall petition because apparently she's the biggest offender when
it comes to letting very very dangerous people out on
unrecognizance bonds or very very low bonds. Thank you very

(01:46:02):
much for the callback. I appreciate you listening in, chiming in, Jeff,
I want to talk to you, but you're gonna have
to take a hold here for a moment if you
don't mind. It's seven thirty six and I want to
strongly recommended Bud Herbert Motors and Butt Herbert Motors. They
are the absolute best. You know, it's the multi generation.
You're gonna be working with the Herbert family members and
you know, Bud Herbert Motors old motto was, you know,

(01:46:24):
the most expensive tool or piece of lawn equipment you're
gonna buys is a cheap one. And that's true because
they're not gonna last. You don't want that to happen.
Last lawnmore. I bought, of course, from Bud Herbert Motors
after a terrible experience at the box store where you're
not gonna be working with an owner. You're not gonna
be working with someone with all the knowledge and experience
that they have the best customer service in the business.

(01:46:44):
You're gonna be working with some regular, run of the
mill employee. And that's not to be criticizing that employee,
but you want to work with the right folks, and
the folks that sell the finest lawn equipment out there.
Get ready for spring. You hit the ground running fifth
generation family and operating but Herbert Motors, Butter Motors commas
where you find them online. They handle the best equipment,
John Deere, x Mark, huge line of steel power equipment,

(01:47:06):
and Honda, of course, which is what I bought. And
I was told by the Herberts the last lawnmower you'll
ever have to buy. So I got decades ahead of
me pushing that thing around the yard. Not that I'm
looking forward to it, but it's nice to know that
I got a quality piece of equipment and they service
everything they sell. Come out to my place once a year,
sharpen the blade, change the oil, and keep it in

welcome back, my friends. Always great hearing from you.

Speaker 14 (01:49:00):
Good morning, Brian, you are a true you and Joe
are a true patriot.

Speaker 1 (01:49:03):
Ashould say, thanks, man, I always appreciate hearing that.

Speaker 14 (01:49:07):
Yeah, you'll have to well it's not an important thing,
but you'll have to ask Evec if he if he's
ever looked into the street car.

Speaker 1 (01:49:16):
So anyway, well, he's a native of Cincinnati. I'm sure
he knows all about it. And knowing him the way
I know him from his writings and his speeches and
his philosophy. Probably not a fan.

Speaker 15 (01:49:31):
Right right.

Speaker 14 (01:49:32):
Well, what I was whatting to talk to you about,
was you hit the nail right on the head with
just one of the many reasons this last war was
so horrible, not just everybody making money off of it.
But you know, when you can't trust Pudin of course,
but he made a lot of common sense things when

(01:49:53):
he talked to Tucker, because he said that, you know,
after the Cold War, they were all expecting us to
accept them with open arms and thus make a ton
of money. I mean, he said, there was no reason
for all of these leaders in the Communist Party to

(01:50:17):
do all the peace talk type stuff that they did
after the Cold War, and also to have us send
over our FBI, our logistics people, all these people that
help them get their country back on to a more
of a democratic situation, and then we all just pulled

(01:50:40):
out for some reason. I don't think you or I
or anybody else was told why. And he said, you know,
even you know, he just didn't understand why they didn't
become our next big friends like we seem to always
do in history. Whenever we defeat an enemy, we turn
them into a friend.

Speaker 16 (01:50:59):
And he made it sound like we needed a bad
guy and we couldn't live without a bad guy, and
at that time, China wasn't.

Speaker 6 (01:51:10):
The biggest bad guy.

Speaker 14 (01:51:12):
So I just think that there's a lot of things
I don't think we've been told as American citizens about
this latest war, especially you know, I'm not I'm not
a big Putin fan, but still he is a leader
of a country. He has to do certain things to
stay in power. And if we continually break our word

(01:51:34):
to them, like yeah, well we'll we'll add yet another
country to NATO, We'll add another country to NATRO, even
though we tell him when he meets with us that
we're not going to do that. And you know, I
just think that there's a lot of things that we
don't know, and I hope that the Trump administration can
bring that to light and let us know why this

(01:51:56):
this last war, besides money, would is really fought and
why we're not working so much harder to make Russia
into that economic friend that both of us could benefit
from and even Ukraine tip benefit. I mean, the United
States can really do a lot for a country, and

(01:52:17):
if we're not doing that. I kind of wonder why
we're not.

Speaker 1 (01:52:21):
Yeah, I agree with you completely, and you know it's
not just one sided. You know, if we engaged in
better relations with them, we would benefit economically and they
would benefit economically. It's certainly a excuse me, get ready
to sneeze. It's a two way street. And if everybody
stands to gain on this, and then we can put
aside the whole idea of armed conflict because we have

(01:52:44):
a cozier relationship, then the world will be a better
place for that as well. Absolutely, And you know, think
about the European Union, if if if Trump, think about that,
if Trump can negotiate an economic stalemate or relationship with
Russia and this stupid, stupid conflict that's raging right now,
then nature wouldn't have to worry so much about, oh

(01:53:05):
my god, the evil Russians invading, and then the world
could collectively turn its had an attention toward China, who's
growing militarily and economically and has designs on basically the
entire world. See what's going on in the South China Sea,
and talk to someone who lives in Taiwan. Right, I agree, Well,
excellent thoughts there, Jeff, and I appreciate you chiming in,

(01:53:26):
because that's the way I'm feeling more and more every day.
This whole idea that we're still fighting the Cold War
with the Soviet Union is a manufactured concept. And again,
Pewtin's not a great guy. I mean, he's murdered some
of some of the people that around him. He's well
known for that. But you know, I mean he's he's
basically the dictator of the country we live and work with,
and and and trade with a whole lot of countries

(01:53:47):
who have similar political setups in relations and and and
you know, dictatorial realities. I mean, Biden was working, you know,
hand in hand with the Venezuelans for God's sake. So
why why wasn't that wrong? You just pick and choose
who are bad guys are? I want to focus on
the real bad guy, and that right now seems Beijiji
in Ping in China, notably for all of the hacking

(01:54:10):
they've done, they're stealing of our military secrets and other secrets,
industrial secrets. They're growing military strength, their threats against Taiwan,
who is an independent nation. Yes, I said that out loud,
so on and on and on and on. We could go. Thanks,
I appreciate that. Jeff five one, three, seven, four nine

talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. All right,

to this particular hospital because that's the one that owns
my practice. That's why they send you there. Honestly, where
you'll pay thirty five hundred dollars for an echo cardigram.
It's coming out of your pocket, new counter year, new deductible.

(01:54:52):
Maybe you got to you gotta cope or something. It's
a cope off of thirty five hundred dollars. You get
a separate bill for the Board certified radiologist for report
with you and your doctor. Bulb, well, at least your
doctor needs it. And then you say to or so
wait MSS. I heard Thomas talk about affordable imaging services.
Where an echo cardiogram's five hundred bucks, it's only eight
hundred with an enhancement. I'm going to take that option

(01:55:13):
because I know it's the same equipment hospitals use. I
know I shouldn't expect much by way of overhead, but
that's what's bringing about these great savings. So I get
my image done there by medical professionals who've been doing
this for forty years. I get a board certified radiologist
support within forty eight hours, along with my doctor getting one,
and that's included in the price eight hundred with an
enhancement five hundred without. That's an acculo cardogram, and the

(01:55:35):
same thing goes a mere fraction of a hospital imaging
department prices for MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, lung screenings and
cardiac scoring. When it comes to your medical health and
your medical decision making, it's in your hands. You have
a choice. Here's the number five one three seven five

Dan Grahmasim returns of the Morning Show. I think the
last time I talked to him was for his book Woke, Inc.
And he's a rather prolific writer. He's written some outstanding books.

(01:57:33):
The man is absolutely brilliant, and he wants to turn
the state of Ohio around. He wants to make an
economic powerhouse. He has some great ideas about education reform,
school choice. He is in favor of school choice and
been asking him about maybe bringing back classical education, which
is such a wonderful, wonderful mechanism of getting young people
educated and giving them logical, critical thinking skills. I think

(01:57:56):
he's an advocate for getting rid of cell phones in
the schools. What a brilliant idea that is. You know,
we had that story this morning about five suicides in
one school district. Just broke my heart and one woman
just had she had facebooked me she has a lot
of it maybe had to do with bullying. You've got
actual bullying, face to face bullying, which I think every
human being has faced at some point in their education period.

(01:58:19):
But once again, you go back to social media and
it's like a twenty four to seven possibility, you know,
teachers cannot monitor the social media exchanges and the text
exchanges between the children, most notably an off hours. But
if you take away eight hours worth of that and
get their attention focused back on education, I think that

(01:58:41):
could bring around some profound changes for the positive. We
could create a state of well educated children. And that's
the recipe. It's a simple recipe. You want to be
a magnet state. You want to be a Texas or
a Florida and one of these states that really is
just way above in terms of bringing in all all
those dissatisfied folks that are fleeing the likes of Illinois

(01:59:04):
and New York and California because of the lunacy. You
have to create a great economic environment. You've got to
create a low regulatory burden, and you have to have
an education system the parents are drawn to. And I
think you'll have some outstanding ideas about that, and we
get an opportunity to talk about them coming up after

(01:59:24):
the top of the our news, so stick around for that,
and of course at eight thirty, as we do every Tuesday,
the Daniel Davis deep Tive further conversations about maybe an
end of the Russia Ukraine conflict. That'll be at a thirty.
I hope you can stick around covering Trump's first one
hundred days every day, every.

A very, very happy and special Tuesday. Brian Thomas, So
the fifty five Cassey Morning Show couldn't be more excited
than I am right now. Happy to welcome for the

(02:00:04):
first time. Actually at the first time, we talked about
his book Woking, but he has announced his intention to
be Ohio's next governor. Fivek Ramaswamy, Welcome to the fifty
five Cassey Morning Show. Distinct pleasure to have you on
the program today, sir, Thanks for having me. Brian. Good
to talk to you again, and it's great to just
I want to congratulate you. Right after your nets, you
immediately got the endorsement of President Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (02:00:27):
Thank you. It was an honor to receive his endorsement.
He and I have worked together over the last year
and I'm so proud of what he's doing for the country,
and in my view, he's making America great again. He's
reviving our conviction in America. We need a leader here
at home who's going to revive our conviction in Ohio.
And I'm going to be honored hopefully to serve as
our next governor and to take our state to the

(02:00:49):
next level.

Speaker 1 (02:00:50):
Well, considering what I know you've identified as your campaign platform,
economic excellence and building Ohio as a state with educational excellentce,
you seem to have the recipe for success down I've seen,
I know you know about people fleeing California, New York,
and Illinois to other states that have a better business environment.

(02:01:11):
Typically it's Texas and Florida identified. But you want to
make Ohio a even better magnet, and it seems to
me the recipe for that low taxes, reduction to regulatory burden,
and of course the quality education that you plan for.
And if we could start with that, because I'm a
huge fan of your ideas on education, most notably school

(02:01:32):
choice and improving vocational opportunities as well.

Speaker 4 (02:01:38):
Absolutely, I mean you stated my platform directly, that's exactly
the core agenda for the state. There's just one key
element to that I would add, Brian, is that I
also want to be a governor who makes sure that
our public schools are equipped to compete with the best
of those alternatives. I'm going to push for harder school
choice with our public schools. I'm going to implement marya

(02:02:00):
based pay for every teacher, principal, administrator, and superintendent, because
to be clear, the best teachers actually.

Speaker 1 (02:02:08):
Deserve to be paid much more than they are.

Speaker 4 (02:02:11):
But that means we have to actually rationalize the waste
of expenditures elsewhere in our education system. It's not just
throwing more money at our public schools, it's how that
money is spent. Other basic common sense reforms like finally
getting the cell.

Speaker 2 (02:02:25):
Phones out of our classes.

Speaker 4 (02:02:27):
Yeah, bringing back physical education at a younger age, and
the presidential Fitness test, which we'll bring back physical health,
it's mental health.

Speaker 1 (02:02:36):
It's civic health.

Speaker 4 (02:02:37):
To Brian is, We're going to bring back civic education
that teaches our kids to be proud of our state
rather than ashamed of it.

Speaker 1 (02:02:45):
And one of the things I'm.

Speaker 4 (02:02:46):
Particularly passionate about is every high school senior who graduates
from Ohio Public High School is going to have to
pass the same Civics test that every legal immigrant has
to pass in order to become am citizen in the country,
and so anyway, these are basic changes where we can
lead the country, and I'm excited that we're going to
take our state to the next level.

Speaker 1 (02:03:06):
I love that it sounds to me like you're a
proponent of as I am, a classical education.

Speaker 4 (02:03:12):
Yes, I think that you can't be proud of a
country that you don't know the history of. And I
do think that young people, I think all of us
in some sense are hungering for purpose and meaning and identity.
And I do think that filling that void with the
real thing, not the fake stuff, but the real thing,
is actually what's going to give us our true fulfillment individual, family, nation,

(02:03:36):
and God beat race, gender, sexuality, and climate if we
have the courage to stand for it.

Speaker 1 (02:03:42):
And at the same time, I.

Speaker 4 (02:03:43):
Was clear, I'm opening last night, and I'll deliver the
same message in Toledo, where I'm headed right now. I'll
deliver the same message in strongsviol where I'm head, and
deny it that. My message to every Democrat in the
state and every independent in this state is that we
may not agree on one hundred percent of issues. And
that's okay. Diversity of thoughts the beautiful thing in Ohio.
But if you care about economic excellence in this state,

(02:04:07):
if you care about educational excellence in this state, if
you care about your kids having the same shot at
the American dream that this state in this country gave
to me, and we're actually on the same team as
the way I look at it. Give a seat at
the table in this movement. Let's take our state to
the next level. And I want to work together with
everybody doing, not just constitutional conservatives like you and I,

(02:04:29):
which of course that's important. We're not going to compromise
on our principles, but we're going to work with everybody
in this state to lift us up economically and to
give our kids the world class education that I believe
is their birthright in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (02:04:44):
Well, I certainly enjoy hearing what you're saying, and you're right.
You know, rising tide lifts all ships. Doesn't matter what
your political stripe is. You got a better business environment,
better educational environment, every single human being in the state
will benefit to flipping over to I just I'm reacting
to your idea of merit based compensation for teachers, which
of course is a great concept. You know, if you

(02:05:05):
live in a meritocracy, the better you are. The brighter
you are, the harder you work, the more likely it
is you're going to make more money. And that's just
the proven recipe all from the beginning of time. How
do you do you judge the merits? Though? How is what?

Speaker 2 (02:05:18):
Is the great question?

Speaker 1 (02:05:20):
Yeah, go ahead, that's a.

Speaker 4 (02:05:22):
Great question, and there's a good conversation to have. The
way I believe it should be judged as a starting point, okay,
is objective results. There you have test scores and other
results combined with the assessment of parents. And I think
the conversation to be had of whether you add some
element of peer review as well, where the way the
teacher works within the context of the school with their

(02:05:44):
other peers is also at least an input. But you
have then objective metrics, parental assessment, peer assessments, and most importantly,
objective assessments of the success of our students.

Speaker 1 (02:05:55):
To be clear, that's what this is all about.

Speaker 4 (02:05:58):
Seventy five percent of eighth graders right now are not
proficient in math innal standards. We have kids in other
countries where English isn't even their first language doing better
on English proficiency than our own students right here, Brian,
I think that's not acceptable to me. So we got
to measure how we're improving on those metrics, from the

(02:06:19):
inner city of Cincinnati to Cleveland to Appalasia, the whole
state to actually give our kids. We owe it to
the next generation. I'm a father of two sons myself,
and I care about passing that American dream on to
my kids and their generation, and we're going to do
that here in Ohio in a way that sets a
model for the rest of the country. And one thing

(02:06:40):
I want to say about this is we do have
an issue where many kids who grow up in this
state end up leaving to pursue opportunities in other states.
I want them to stay here and pursue the American
dream in Ohio because it is the best place for
them to make that decision, close to their parents and
to their grandparents. Keeping the generational families in this state,

(02:07:02):
because that's the place where they have the best educational
and economic opportunities. That's where I want to lead us.

Speaker 1 (02:07:08):
Well. One of the stumbling blocks and the elephant of
the room on all of your wonderful and logical and
reasonable ideas about education happens to be the Teachers Union,
and they they exist for their own benefit, not for
the benefit of students. I just have to generally speak.
But that seems to be the case. And how are
you going to cope with them and their uh and
and and and deal with the opposition you're most certainly

(02:07:31):
going to face from the teachers union. Look the way
I said it.

Speaker 4 (02:07:35):
I was crystal clear last night in both my speeches,
and I'll say it again today. I don't want to
pick a fight with the teachers unions. Frankly, I don't
want to pick a fight with anybody. But I'm not
going to back down from one either. I'm going to
do whatever is required to stand for the achievement.

Speaker 1 (02:07:54):
Of our students.

Speaker 4 (02:07:56):
And let me be crystal clear, as I said earlier,
the best teachers deserve to be compensated better than they are.
Right now, I think of missus Kinney, this teacher of
mine in sixth grade who lit a fire under my feet.
She changed my life. He helped me see potential in
myself that I hadn't seen. That was at the public
schools in Princeton outside Cincinnati, at Realis Roberty Lucas Intermediate

(02:08:16):
School with a magnet program.

Speaker 1 (02:08:17):
The family is closed now.

Speaker 4 (02:08:19):
As Kinny is somebody who I reflected on last night
in my speech. She unfortunately died a couple of years
ago in a tragic accident. But I'd be thanking her
today if she were alive. And I will tell you this,
I want more teachers like her. But that's not an
anti public school teacher message. That is a pro teacher message.
But any obstacle that stands in the way, if that's

(02:08:41):
the union for anybody else, we're going to deal with
that to do what's right for our students with strength.

Speaker 1 (02:08:48):
Well, you are an obviously wildly successful entrepreneur. You built
a stil aerospace right here in Cincinnati. In spite of
the regulatory and challenges you face in the state of
Ohio at least still currently, you were able to do it.
So I highlight that and illustrated because in spite of
the obstacles which shouldn't be there in the state of
Ohio for business advancement, you're able to do it. But

(02:09:10):
you know where the skeletons are, you know where the
problems lie, and you know where the reforms need to
be made.

Speaker 4 (02:09:17):
Well, thank you for that. I mean, just to be crystical,
we launched the event at Ctail Aerospace last night, and
as a great founder and a great family that invited
us in so saying, but no, that's close to home
where I grew up. So I grew up. My first
house that I grew up until I was five is
a few minutes away from there. So you know, I
could see the commonality that being said. I've built successful businesses.

(02:09:38):
I was across biotech, across financial services, across other industries,
and I understand what it takes to have success. It
means that you're able to pursue your own vision and
serve your customers and serve the people for whom you
exist without the government or bureaucracy standing in your way.
And that's my vision for Ohio. I want this to

(02:09:59):
be the most most competitive state in the country to
start and grow a new business, for young families to
flock to to raise your kids in. Are we headed
in the right direction? I think we actually are headed
in the right direction. This is in California. We don't
need a U turn. But what we do need to
do is we need to step on the gas without
holding back. We don't need to be shooting to be

(02:10:21):
a good state in the Midwest. We just shoot to
be the best state in the country to actually lead
economically and educationally. And I don't think that that's unrealistic
if you look at the last century. Really, even at
the turn of the last Industrial Revolution, Ohio led the
way in the nation. We were the economic powerhouse of America.
And I think if Silicon Valley led the way in

(02:10:43):
the last ten years, I think it should be the
Ohio River Valley over the next ten years. And so
that's the ambition I want to bring to leading this state,
ambition for every ohioan ambition to lift up the lives
of every kid in this state. It's a moment for
a modern Northwest ordinance is the way I look at this.
We're at conservative state. We deserved to be governed accordingly.

(02:11:07):
And that's not going to lose US elections, Brian. It's
going to win US elections because it'll put more money
in people's pockets, lift up more people in this state
from poverty. It'll revive civic pride and self confidence in
our young people. And I don't care whether you're a
Democrat or Republican, black or white, man or woman, urban

(02:11:28):
or rural. If you care about economic excellence, and educational excellence.

Speaker 1 (02:11:32):
In this state.

Speaker 4 (02:11:33):
And we got to seek for you at the table
in this movement. And I want to work with everybody
to take the state to the next level. And dare
I say unite this state in a landslide victory next year.
That's what I'm shooting for at this point.

Speaker 1 (02:11:45):
Well, I understand you also are in favor of work
requirements for Medicaid and welfare. We have a bit of
a problem in this state with Medicaid one of the
worst in the country in terms of fraud, waste, and abuse.
And I found out recently talked to Representative Jennifer gross
To just a few days ago, and they did a
recent analysis, a statistical sampling and found out that twenty

(02:12:07):
six percent of the Medicaid payments go to individuals that
do not even live in our state, which translates to
like ten billion dollars. Mister Ramswami, that might help solve
the school funding problem. We're already operating under an unconstitutional
structure for funding schools. If we could claw back that
or not send it out of the state, apply that
to education, we might get some relief on our property taxes,

(02:12:31):
which are killing so many people in this area.

Speaker 4 (02:12:34):
So look, I want to give a shout out to
Jennifer Growth. She has been outstanding on this issue of
medicaid and spotlighting areas for savings. So she's doing a
fantastic job. She was actually at our event last night
as well. I'm grateful for her supporting Butler County. But
I will tell you we need to now do something
about it as well, and to me part of the solution.

(02:12:55):
First of all, we should make sure that there aren't
recipients who, literally, as you're mentioning out state or other
places where it's just error, should not be receiving money
that wasn't intended for them. But even more broadly, as
a policy measure, that's just an implementation failure. As a
policy measure, work requirements for medicaid and welfare are not
only reasonable, they're necessary. They're necessary not just as a

(02:13:18):
budgetary matter, but even for the recipients. That's not compassion.
To increase somebody's dependence on the government.

Speaker 1 (02:13:25):
That is cruelty.

Speaker 4 (02:13:27):
That is a form of cruelty. And I think the
true form of compassion is helping somebody not with the handout,
but a handoff in their time of need, to give
them a bridge to self sustain themselves on their own
two feet. That's the American way, and so I do
think that even well intentioned folks who say that, well,
are these work requirements to aggressive? To be clear, they're

(02:13:49):
not work requirements. We're talking about are age eighteen to
fifty four. If you're able bodied, if you don't have kids,
then you're talking about twenty hours a week of work,
king or at least trying to find work. I think
it's really reasonable. That's where the federal standards are today.
Ohio should not be seeking an exemption from that or
a waiver from that. We should be embracing it and

(02:14:10):
leading the country to say that we embrace hard work.
We're going to end the war on work in this state,
by the way, Brian, at a time when we do
have a shortage of workers, why are we paying people
and incentivizing them not to work. That doesn't make any sense.
That goes back to the other point we were making
about making Ohio the best place to start and grow business.

(02:14:33):
If we have a more plentiful work population, population of
workers who aren't being paid by the federal government, by
the state government to stay home, that helps them too.
So it's a pro American message, it's a pro Ohio message.
At times, I do believe in speaking the hard truths,
even when they're tough. Think about that educational achievement crisis.

(02:14:53):
It doesn't land well on people's ears to hear that
seventy five percent of kids aren't proficient in math, but
you got to see the problem clearly in order to
fix it. Doesn't land on some well, some people's ears
to say we got to attach work requirements to Medicaid
and welfare. But actually, when you explain, if people understand,
even good Democrats understand where you're coming from. I'll give

(02:15:14):
you another one of those, Brian, which is a little
bit controversial, but I'll go there because I think it's
important when we think about ending the wave of crime
and rising poverty and homelessness in cities. In our cities,
I think we need to think about and we will
bring back the psychiatric hospitals that were shuttered in decades past,
because right now our jails are the top form of

(02:15:36):
mental health care in our state, and that doesn't make
any sense either to some of these solutions. I'm confident
that if we explain it to the people, even to
Democrats who may have a different opinion today, I believe
we're going to be able to bring them along with
respect and with open dialogue. And I think that culture
of mutual respect is the way I'm going to lead our.

Speaker 1 (02:15:55):
State with that, Grandma Swimmy. It's just a distinct pleasure
to hear such logic and reas and I wish you
all the best in your efforts become governor the next
of the state of Ohio. I hope to someday call
you Governor Ramis when we talk after that moment in time.
But just I just have to observe this that work
requirement when there's so many trade jobs available twenty hours

(02:16:16):
a week. If you can work in the trade, you
can earn while you learn as an apprentice. Put that
opportunity in front of someone, say listen, you're not going
to get this benefit, but look, here's a great opportunity
if you have a career and a sustainable life and
a good salary. It just makes so much sense.

Speaker 4 (02:16:34):
Yes, it does, which is a far bigger benefit.

Speaker 1 (02:16:36):
So you're right to say it.

Speaker 4 (02:16:37):
It is.

Speaker 1 (02:16:37):
Well. I look forward to having you on any time
you like on the program Sir. I'm inspired by your words,
and I wish you all the best on the campaign trail.
Anytime on the fifty five Caressey Morning Show you want
you're you have an opportunity.

Speaker 4 (02:16:50):
Sir, I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (02:17:24):
So do I.

Speaker 1 (02:17:24):
And interesting times with Trump negotiating with Putin over a
resolution of this war, and it seems to me for
some reason, it's got the left all bent out of shape,
and I don't know why, because in addition to negotiating
with Putin on some sort of resolution, he's also trying
to open up economic cooperation for the benefit of both countries.

(02:17:48):
And what I observe here if you put down this
whole idea that Vladimir Putin is the same thing as
the Soviet Union. And I know he doesn't have clean hands,
but we work and trade with a lot of countries
who don't have clean hands, right, I mean, we're picking
and choosing who is good and who's bad. And i'd
point to the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party.
We trade with them all the time, and they are
our outstanding number one enemy in the world. So putting

(02:18:11):
that aside, though, if we could negotiate some sort of
economic cooperation along with this and along with resolving the conflict,
and I know you want to talk about that, but
that would, I would argue, have the result of benefiting
both countries economically. We can stop worrying about getting into
a shooting war with the Soviet or with the Russians.

(02:18:32):
Here I slipped with the Russians. You know, NATO wouldn't
have to concern itself with being invaded by Vladimir Putin,
and it might tear the getting cozier relationship between Russia
and China away, So we got all focus on the
real enemy, which is China. I don't know I'm just
I know, I'm kind of sort of on a stream
of consciousness on this, but I don't see this discussion

(02:18:55):
as a bad thing in any way. Your reactions, sir,
well my initial reactions.

Speaker 15 (02:19:00):
I don't know how much you like your job, but
if you wanted to quit and go work as a
deputy Secretary of State, I would endorse you're a person
to go and do that, because, man, I would love
that kind of view up at the Secretary of State,
because that you're absolutely nailing all the things that are
important to the United States.

Speaker 1 (02:19:16):
I mean, that's what Trump ran on. He ran on
wanted to be the America First.

Speaker 15 (02:19:20):
He actually signed that into an executive order that his
foreign policy would be America First. And he's doing exactly
what he said he was going to do, and so far,
all of those things you mentioned are good for the
United States. And I guess to answer your question about
you know why this is and why there's so much
reticence and resistance from the Europeans especially, Yeah, it's because

(02:19:41):
we've tied all of this action over the last three
years to our credibility as an alliance and even to
the essence.

Speaker 1 (02:19:49):
Of who we are.

Speaker 15 (02:19:50):
We said and I actually did this on my show
yesterday a little bit kind of running through the history
of the last three years and in just a few minutes.
But basically we said that Russia had to lose, Ukraine
had to win at the outset of the war, and
then everything to that extent was said throughout the rest
of it. And many still say to this day they
cannot conceive of not winning, even if it comes to

(02:20:13):
the expense of benefits to our country, as you pointed out,
And so far it looks like Trump is willing to
just blow off all that pressure.

Speaker 1 (02:20:20):
To do what makes sense. Well, the alliance that we're
talking about here was built on a post World War
two Europe that needed to be rebuilt, but also then
immediately began to be fearful of the Soviet Union and
their communist ways. I mean FDR sold out all those
Eastern European countries at Yalta. They became a part of
the Iron Curtain, their lives became miserable. Postfall of the

(02:20:42):
Soviet Union, many of them became more prosperous, I mean Ukraine,
for example, breadbasket of Europe at least at one point
until this war showed up. So they were in a
better position. I just don't know understand why again this
animosity in this that we have over Russia now them invading.

Speaker 15 (02:21:03):
Yeah, I'll tell you though, on that point there, it's
important because there's another benefit that happened prior to February
twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, and that was that Europe
was significantly benefiting from Russian oil and gas because it
was coming in at a very low price, which benefited
all of Europe and all of their economy and everything
was predicated on low inputs, low cost of inputs, so

(02:21:25):
that they could have cost of outputs, they could have
higher profits and all that kind of thing. We have
absolutely shot ourselves in the foot and maybe even one
knee by keeping these sanctions on Russia, because it's harmed
us a lot more than it has them. And listen,
all of this, all of this, one hundred percent, came
from our absolute overt insistence on putting NATO into Ukraine,

(02:21:48):
something that would never keep anybody in Europe safer. All
that would do is exactly what it did is raised
the tensions, increase the chance of something bad happening where
we could.

Speaker 1 (02:21:57):
End up in a war, and it didn't do anything
destroy Ukraine.

Speaker 15 (02:22:01):
That is I think going to be one of the
biggest blights on the West and on the previous administration
that history can put on us.

Speaker 1 (02:22:07):
Yeah, country filled with land mines in a post war situation.
It's just just a terrible thought when you come when
it comes down to it. And I drew a parallel.
I just kind of bounced this off your head earlier
in the program. I said, you know, if you look
like Crimea, for example, the vast majority of folks there
were pro Russia. They didn't have any problem with the
Russians taking them over. I said, you know, it's a

(02:22:27):
lot like those multiple counties in Illinois that want to
become part of Indiana or half of the state of
California that wants to break off and separate itself from
the insane leftists that currently run the country. You know,
we're not going to get Crimea back. And if you
ask the Crimeans, they probably would say, we don't want
to go back percent.

Speaker 15 (02:22:48):
And it's not just that they're pro Russian, they're ethnic Russian.
I mean they are historically Russian. And in fact, I
may get the year wrong in this. I think it
was something about nineteen fifty they were part of Russia,
they were part of the Soviet Union, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (02:23:01):
And then I think it was the Krushiev don't hold
me to that.

Speaker 15 (02:23:05):
It was on one of the Soviet premiers just designated
it to Ukraine, which didn't really cause much of us
stir at the time because it was.

Speaker 1 (02:23:12):
All within the USSR.

Speaker 15 (02:23:13):
But the historically they have been Russian, and they ethnically
are still Russian.

Speaker 1 (02:23:18):
And they voted. You don't even have to ask them because.

Speaker 15 (02:23:20):
They told you what their own voice with this plea
to decide that they overwhelmed the I think ninety five
percent voted to be in Russian and all of them
Russians and Ukrainian Crimeans consider themselves to be Russians today,
So that's that's never coming back. And that's the case
with the majority of the area that is under Russia
control today in terms of ethnic Russians that are in there,

(02:23:41):
and it's even on the other side of the line
up to the Danepa River, still significant portions are ethnic Russians.
When that outcome is kind of what a lot of
people are wondering where these negotiations are going, because a
great many of those people want to go to Russia
as well well.

Speaker 1 (02:23:56):
Trump talking directly with Putin to the exclusion of Lensky
that seems to rubbed them the wrong way. He's also, though,
negotiating with the President of Ukraine Zelenski, to deal with
economic relationships with them, because they have stuff that we
would like to buy, and if we buy it, then
that benefits them economically. So there seems to be an
air of positivity associated with it. In a post war environment,

(02:24:22):
how do you think Trump is dealing with the war component?
He can talk with Peutin all day long about economic relationships,
but settling the war, how do you think he's going
to approach that and what announcement do you think is
going to come from that, if any.

Speaker 15 (02:24:36):
Yeah, that's going to be the really difficult part, which
is kind of shrouded in mystery so far. I'm sure
that's intentional, because I'm sure there's lots of discussions about.

Speaker 1 (02:24:45):
Where the line is going to be.

Speaker 15 (02:24:47):
Is it going to be on the current line of
contact between the two Is it going to be on
the administrative borders of the fort oblasted Russia annexed in
twenty twenty two, Because right now, a subsiizable portion of
all three of the southern provinces are still under Ukrainian control,
and for that to be the line, which Russians say
that is their minimum standard, Ukraine would have to withdraw

(02:25:07):
from there and abandon those areas through negotiations, not being
forced out by war.

Speaker 1 (02:25:13):
That's what I advocate.

Speaker 15 (02:25:14):
I think that's the best thing that could happen, because
the alternative is that Russia doesn't agree to the current
line of contact and they continue marching forward with their
armed forces until they seize territory by forced RUMs, which
means more Ukrainians would die. The line's going to be
over there, in my view, one way or the other,
either by negotiations where a lot of Ukraines have to
suffer the embarrassment but are alive to withdraw out, or

(02:25:37):
they'll take it and those people will be dead. And
so I think that it's that stark of an option
right now, and it's unknown right now what Trump's going
to agree to.

Speaker 1 (02:25:45):
Do you think there's an economic component that would benefit
Ukraine in that type of resolution, like, hey, okay, we're
willing to concede the territory, but Russia, you got to
do something for us maybe providing energy or other resources. Again,
if you have free trade between those two countries after
you resolve your differences, it can only benefit both countries.
Is there a dangling carrot in there for Ukraine that

(02:26:06):
can make a concession.

Speaker 15 (02:26:09):
You would have to have Russia make a concession from
a position of strength that they don't have to make.
They don't have to offer almost anything, because Russia is
willing to pay the price of losing more their soldiers,
extending the war and the cost to go along with that,
in order to secure this what they view as their
minimum security requirements on their border. That's the real crux

(02:26:30):
of all this is that Putin is not looking at
the getting the war over with. He's looking at the
long term security on his western border and why they
went to war in the first place. If he thinks
the current line of contact won't provide him that long
term security, he won't agree to it, and he doesn't
have to, And if Trump doesn't, Russia will just keep fighting.

Speaker 1 (02:26:47):
And that's the problem is that Russia has leverage that
we don't have.

Speaker 15 (02:26:51):
But to your question about the economics, Ukraine, whatever is
going to be left of it will one hundred percent
benefit economically because Europe is standing by already and that
was in Trump's meeting with Macron yesterday. They're standing by
to have all kinds of post war development and you know,
taking care of things that were destroyed, et cetera. So
there's a lot of benefit for the Ukraine's not the

(02:27:13):
least of which nobody else would have to die.

Speaker 1 (02:27:16):
Now if this treaty, if a treaty resolution land concessions,
that Russia gets what they want. There's all this talk
about peacekeeping forces being kept in Ukraine. Do you think
there's really a necessary element of a peacekeeping force. If
Russia ultimately gets back or gets its Russian components out

(02:27:37):
of Ukraine, a new line is drawn. Is there any
further risk of Russia saying that'screw it, We're going to
go for the whole thing.

Speaker 15 (02:27:45):
I mean, if they want to do that, they already
have the force in place right now and they can
just do it. There's reports out this morning that in
the Russian media and the Russian military media that what
Zelensky had said last week was one hundred and fifty
thousand formation of Russian forces that actually closer to two
hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (02:28:03):
That's not in contact.

Speaker 15 (02:28:05):
It's in addition to everything that's about seven hundred thousand
on the line of contact.

Speaker 1 (02:28:08):
Right now Russian forces.

Speaker 15 (02:28:10):
There's another two hundred thousand, which by the way, is bigger,
probably by a factor of two than the one that
invaded Ukraine in the first place.

Speaker 1 (02:28:17):
That's the size we're talking about. It's not engaged anywhere.

Speaker 15 (02:28:20):
It is positioned to where it can go into a
number of different places if negotiations apparently break down, so
they can do it right now. But I think that
they want to get things done diplomatically as long as
they can get what they think is their security going forward.

Speaker 1 (02:28:35):
And that's really what it all comes down to, all right,
As we've parted, coming to today, Daniel Davis, I just
always thoroughly enjoy these conversations. Do you see this a
negotiated resolution happening in the near term, you know, like
weeks as opposed to six months or another year.

Speaker 15 (02:28:54):
Well, Trump yesterday, as press conference, said out loud that
he thinks that Zelensky could be here either this week
or next week to sign a deal for the minerals,
and then he said the war itself could be wrapped
up within a few weeks. He had his National Security
advisor earlier that morning yesterday said he could be done
as quickly as a week or two. So he's definitely

(02:29:15):
thinking that this is in the end game right now.
And then the question is going to be is Zelenski
you gonna accept it? Because I'm thinking that Trump is
getting to the position to where he's going to say
to Zelenski, you either accept this deal or good luck
to you, and you're up trying to figure it out
on your own because we're coming to an end.

Speaker 1 (02:29:30):
I think that's what Trump's setting up. Fair enough. This
has been another Daniel Davis deep dive. I've always looked
forward to it. I'm already looking forward to another one
next Tuesday. Daniel. Have a wonderful week, sir, and thanks
