Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
All right, here we go one more day, Dan Carroll
and for Brian Thomas fifty five krc DE Talk station.
What a week it has been. Huh what a week?
Blown right by Thursday already. And then I believe Kevin
Gordon will be in this chair tomorrow morning because I
cannot be. So that's a it's a beautiful thing. And

(00:40):
uh so glad to be here with the great Brian
Thomas audience. What do we have going on today? What
are we going to talk about today? I was getting
ready for the show yesterday afternoon and into the evening hours,
and I was thinking to myself, you know, there's so
much stuff that I had during the course of the
week that I'm just gonna put all my leftovers together

(01:02):
and that could be a whole show, right there, a
whole show of leftovers. Then I start looking at the news,
then I see what's going on, and I don't know.
I've got some leftovers ready to go. I don't know
if the leftovers are going to make it. I mean,
I really don't. The full court press that is coming

(01:25):
out on the White House or from the White House
on this MS thirteen dude, the Maryland Father as the
as the media likes to refer to him is like
nothing I've ever seen. You know, they had they had
the mother of Rachel Morin at the White House press

(01:48):
briefing yesterday. So at the very least, there cannot be
reporters from the mainstream media, the Associated the Associated Press,
you know, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC. There cannot be reporters
from these outlets that claim they don't know or they

(02:12):
they simply missed it, because the mom of Rachel Morn
got up there and just gave a gut wrenching testimony.
Sean McMahon is working on turning some of that audio
around right now and we'll have that a little bit later.
But of course the major networks ignored it completely last night.

(02:35):
But she went in there and and talked about the
illegal that was just earlier this week, convicted, convicted of
raping and brutally murdering her daughter. And then she comes
and testifies, and this is all part and parcel of this.
You know, the Maryland father who was sent to El

(02:57):
Salvadoran is in a prison now and the Department of Justice,
the White House is putting out every bit of evidence
that possibly can to show that this dude is an
MS thirteen gang banger. And now you have this this
federal judge who is, to my way of thinking, completely

(03:21):
out of control. And of course that's all the headlines,
that's all the networks want to talk about. Is this
federal judge, the one that ordered the airplane to turn
around in mid air and bring those alleged MS MS
thirteen gang members back to the United States.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
And the.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
You know, the White House said up, you know, I'm sorry,
too late, already in international waters. Nothing we can do
about it. So now he's got his panties in a
bunch and he's you know, talking about all this and
going to hire I guess he's going to hire his
own lawyer or is going to launch his own investigation

(04:08):
and hold them all in contempt and get testimony under
oath and all this other stuff. And I'm still hearing
from the national media that the White House is saying
they've imported all these guys they were in the day,
saying they were in the country illegally doing illegal things

(04:31):
without any evidence. You know that I have been harping
on this for so long. Now when you get the
national media attacking the president or attacking the White House,
and they never did it with Biden. They never did
it with Barack Obama. It's always with the Trump administration,

(04:55):
sometimes with the Bush administration. But they love to throw
that in there that you know, the White House said
this without any evidence. So you know, now these reporters,
instead of going out and talking about you know what
the White House is saying, they have to inject it.

(05:17):
And it's it's simply when they when they do that,
that's not objective reporting. It is simply a way for
them to inject their opinion into the piece. Yeah, it's
it's not good enough to go out there and and say,

(05:40):
you know, the White House said X, Y and Z,
but when you have to include the caveat but didn't
present any evidence. Well, how many times did Barack Obama
go out and say something? How many times did other presidents?
What about the Joe Biden administration? You know, I'm I'm

(06:03):
looking at all this stuff that was released by Pam
BONDI all this stuff that came out from the White House.
I mean, document after document after document. You know, now
there's now there's police reports that this dude was abusing
his wife. Uh, I mean, the guy was a and
I'm going to get into all the details a little

(06:24):
bit later, but this whole, this whole notion that you
can as an objective reporter include this little caveat without
any evidence. Now, that's that that is opinion making right there.

(06:45):
They don't you don't you're reporting. Fox News used to
have a great line when they when they first started,
and Shepherd Smith used to say it all the time.
And I really, you know, whatever you think of Shepherd
Smith and his his political leanings, I thought Shepherd Smith

(07:07):
was just terrific at delivering the news and the line
that he used to use all the time, and then
this sort of thinking I think got away from him
at the end. But he used to say, we report,
you decide, and I thought that was a great line.
I used to even you know, that was back in

(07:29):
my TV days when that line was probably at the
height of its popularity, and I used to use that
line all the time around around the newsroom that I
worked in. You know, we report, you decide. And I
think that that that recognizes so many times that you

(07:51):
go out as a journalist, as a as a reporter,
you try and cover the story the best you can,
You try to bring in and look, especially in local
TV news, if you get a piece on the air
that lasts for a minute and thirty seconds, you're doing

(08:11):
pretty good. At least when I was in the business.
The producers who stack the shows, who put the shows together,
are under so much pressure to have the story count.
Got to get you know, got to get that story
count up, because so much of it is consultant driven.

(08:35):
And you've got consultants who are constantly telling you, oh,
you've got it. It's got to be fast paced, it's
got to be quick. You got you got to have
you know, this zoomy little graphic over here, got to
have all these different elements. You gotta squeeze it all
in because you know, you can't have an edit that
lasts longer than you know what, you know, a static

(08:56):
shot that lasts longer than three or four seconds, because
people will lose interest. You know, all these consultants driven
things are not driven to improve content. They're not you
know there the consultants are not there to try and
improve the product or make it any more meaningful or

(09:22):
more in depth. No, the consultants are there to put
eyeballs on your TV station. And so if you look
at local news, especially on the TV side. It is
all it is. It gets more and more difficult to
distinguish one channel from the other. They all take commercial

(09:45):
breaks at the same time. They all stack their shows
the same way. If you turn on Channel five and
they're doing the weather, flip over to Channel nine, chances
are they're doing the weather. Flip over to Fox nineteen,
chances are they're doing the weather or the traffic trafficking weather. Together.
We do it here, we you know, we you know,

(10:06):
we have our consultants too, tell us how to know
when to take breaks and all the other stuff. But again,
you know, journalism has has acquiesced a lot too to
the consultants driven and I think when you know, there

(10:28):
was a time when we we sort of gone away
from all that from what the consultants said, and our
numbers were the best they were they ever were, at
least that's my experience. Five point fifteen. Got to get
to a little break here and we will talk about
the weather coming up and tell you what's going to
be on the show today. I got a couple of
great guests and a lot of stuff I want to

(10:48):
get to, so I hope you can hang around for
it one more day, Dan Carroll and for Brian Thomas
on fifty five KRC de talk station.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Fifty five KRS the talk station. Sean McMahon is running
the big board in the fifty five KRC command center.
My buddy' Zeke Arkumen is going to be here at
Let me see what time did I book him for?
I think seven thirty seven thirty z Karkman is a
guy that is all over social media and if you

(11:29):
look him up on I follow him on X. I
don't have all the other you know, Sean, what is
what are some of the Instagram? I guess it's pretty
big right now? Right all the young people on Instagram,
aren't they? I think sometimes I wish I wasn't. He's
a young guy. He's a hold on a second little

(11:54):
drink of water. But Zeke Arkham is a prolific poster
social media and he goes after everyone, and so it'll
be great to get his take on what's happening on
the passing scene. Then Jim Faff from the Conservative Caucus
is going to be here. We'll talk a little politics

(12:15):
with him and see what he's got going on. They've
got an event coming up in rod Bolgoyevitch Blago is
going to be the keynote speaker at an event they
have comeing up at the DRAC Hotel in Oakbrook, Illinois.
So that'll be great. So we'll talk to him and
get his take on things that are happening around around

(12:38):
the country. The New York Post is just having a
field day with Letitia James and they they went and
tried to ask her some questions yesterday, and she did
the old pull out the cell phone and fake like
you're on the cell phone. They were shouting questions at her.
You know, of course they know where she lives. And

(13:00):
when she came out of the out of you know,
her place of residence. I don't know if you call
it a an apartment, I don't know. I guess I
guess she owns the building there. But they were asking
her questions and she was standing there and had the
had the phone up to her face and acted like

(13:21):
she was involved in such an important conversation she had
to completely ignore the reporters. Then apparently she went to
a some political rally and gave a real stem winder
of a speech. I saw. I saw the I saw
some of the video on that, and I was looking
at it, and I thought it was an older speech,

(13:42):
but I guess it turns out it was a piece
that she did yesterday. I would have brought some of
that in today, But I was thinking, there's no way
she could have been making this speech calling out the
Trump administration, talking about how she's ready to go, you know,
standing up for democracy, you know, the calling on her
peeps to have her back and all this kind of stuff,

(14:04):
you know, acting all indignant. But the New York Post
is all over this. They sent a reporter in Norfolk, Virginia.
The New York Attorney. Attorney General Latitia James listed a
Virginia home more than three hundred miles from her office
in New York City as her principal residence and official

(14:27):
public documents obtained by the Post, and those documents are
all over the place because Pam Bondi released a bunch
of them, or not Pam Bondy, but whoever. And I
forget the individual who it was referred this case. But
the Post has the documents, and they went to Norfolk

(14:51):
and they're looking at the property records there and Latisia.
James granted power of attorney to her niece, Chemise Thompson
Thompson Harris in August of twenty three, authorizing the purchase
of the Virginia property got a mortgage for two hundred
nineteen thousand dollars. In the document, James attested, I hereby

(15:14):
declare I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.
The document was witnessed by First Deputy Attorney General Jenner
for Levy, New York State Secretary, and notarized. The three bedroom,
two bathroom house is now home to a woman and
her daughter who moved in just a few months ago.

(15:35):
According to people in the neighborhood and people in a neighborhood,
we're talking to the post and they said they've never
seen her. People in a neighborhood have a pretty good
idea who's there on a daily basis. But when it

(15:56):
comes to Latitia James, nutt never seen her. Uh And
and and they alsoy they've they've got a picture of
the house very lovely.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
They've got a picture of Letitia James pretending to be
on the phone as she left her home in Brooklyn,
which is quite a distance away from Norfolk, Virginia. They've
got here's the specific power of attorney purchase of real estate,
you know, known know all men, by these President, that

(16:29):
the undersigned Letitia A. James does hereby constitute and appoint
Chemise Thompson Harrison of the City of Norfolk, Virginia as
her attorney in fact, for her in name place instead
to undertake and do all acts necessary to complete the
purchase of the property. And it gives the address in
in Norfolk, Virginia. And one of you know, one of

(16:53):
the provisions under the heading there is I hereby declare
I intend to a pie this property as my principal residence.
And it's got the date that was signed, got the
big Letitia A. James, a very bold signature, by the way,
it's got her signature on it. And so uh, she

(17:18):
she claimed that she was going to live there and
apparently doesn't live there. Is that mortgage fraud? Is you know?
Is this sort of what she railed against Donald Trump

(17:38):
about our buddy Zeke Arkham is there in the in
the belly of the beast. He lives in New York,
so he's, uh, he's there, he's experiencing all this firsthand,
and we'll see how all this plays in New York
and get his opinion on that as we continue on
till nine o'clock this morning, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,

(18:00):
fifty five krc DE Talk Station fifty five KRC fifty
five krc DE Talk Stations, Patchie Frog. I don't know
why I was seeing frost and fog and it came

(18:20):
out like frog. That's pretty good. How about how about
a little local news here? And this one is one
that popped up yesterday and it has to do with
county corners in the state of Ohio. And I don't
know if I like this idea at all, but five
differing this piece on WCPO. Five different county corners in

(18:43):
the Greater Cincinnati region have signed a letter to Ohio
lawmakers opposing the current state budget bill, which they say
contains language that would change their position from an elected
one to an appointed one. Letter was designed by Butler
County Corda Corner, Lisa Mannix Corner, Brian Treyon and Claremont

(19:06):
County Laksimi Somarco Here in Hamilton County, Highland County Corner
Jeff Berry and the Crownty Corner in Warren County Russell Upgrove.
The state budget bill would, according to the letter, change
the position of County Corner from an elected one to

(19:28):
one appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The office
County Corner, a position elected by the people, serves as
a vital check against institutional overreach by ensuring that cause
and manner of death determinations and forensic investigations are conducted
impartially and without undue influence. Reads the letter, Eliminating this

(19:52):
role removes a layer of democratic oversight and risks consolidating
investigative power and less accountable, potentially politicized hands. And I
have to say I agree with them. I've reached out
to a couple of different lawmakers I know, and we'll
see if they respond to me this morning and maybe

(20:14):
come on the show and talk about I've already done
a couple of different interviews talking about this state budget,
and this issue did not come up. I did not
know it was in there. The corners say. The lawmakers
are burying the proposal within the state budget bill, House
Bill ninety six, which is thousands pages long. The corners

(20:36):
who signed the letter also say Ohio lawmakers wrote the
language into the bill without communicating at all with individually
elected corners or the Ohio State Corners Association. For the
life of me, I can't figure out why there's someone
in Columbus or a group in Columbus who thinks that

(20:58):
this is a good idea. They were never in town halls,
no voter discussions to talk about this particular issue. The
letter urges lawmakers to reject the current House Built ninety
six language that would eliminate the coroner's elected position. There

(21:18):
is going to be a press conference on April twenty
second at the Hamilton County Coroner's office to further discuss
the issue. So, yeah, this was a surprising development that
came out yesterday afternoon. I know Cunningham had the sheriff
on who doesn't really like the idea. I don't like

(21:41):
the idea either. I think the corner needs to be
beholden to the people of the county that he or
she serves, and not be beholden to a group of
commissioners or other elected officials. And they say they're saying
straight out there can be times when politics gets in

(22:04):
the way, and I don't know, I'm not on the
face of it. I'm not crazy about that idea. Let's
see Northern Kentucky attorney sentence for stealing two hundred and
sixty five thousand dollars from families. Northern Kentucky attorney. This
is on channel WCPO, not WCPO with WLWT and TULL.

(22:30):
The attorney stole hundreds of thousands of dollars and then vanished.
The sentence came down in the Campbell County courtroom. Jennifer
Zachius Miller sentenced to six years in prison on one
count of theft, in five years on another. The two
run Concurrently, she was also ordered by Judge Dan Zala
to pay restitution for the entire amount that was stolen.

(22:55):
Miller pleaded guilty to stealing a total of more than
two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars from two fansies.
When the families found out the money was gone, Miller
went missing for days and was finally arrested at the
Red River Gorge, stealing an inheritance from a grieving family
while taking advantage of the position to trust. I can't
think of anything more egregious, callous, and shameful, said Melinda Lemons,

(23:18):
who spoke out in court on behalf of one victim's family.
The ordeal has been like living in a nightmare. Lemon
says she does not believe Miller will pay the money back.
So apparently this individual steals the money, goes to the

(23:39):
Red River Gorge and then winds up getting that you know,
whether she got arrested. That's terrible. And then finally we
have this for special recognition here uh former social worker
who worked with notable companies and organizations around Greater Cincinnati
is headed to prison. Michael LESCo, thirty four, sentenced to

(24:02):
twenty five years in prison for raping children. The west
Chester man previously pleaded guilty to six counts of rape
one count of gross sexual imposition inside the pack courtroom
on Wednesday, the pain was palpable. Karner will catch up
to you if it already hasn't. You're a monster. You

(24:22):
picked the wrong family to pry upon or prey upon,
said one of the relatives of the two victims. Another
one said, no time or money would ever give me
my innocence back. Do you rob me and my innocence?
On paper, Lesco's resume looked impressive. He was a social worker,

(24:43):
mentor counselor and volunteer. He ran life counseling out of
his Westchester home, previously managed social services that you see
health before being let go and John McMahon, I think
that deserves some special recognition.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
Could you hit that please, PERI is the biggest douche
of the universe, in all the galaxies. There's no bigger
douche than you. You've reached the job, the pinnacle of
douche them good going, du Your dreams have come.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
True, you know. And how many times do we see
this when you've got these individuals who are accused of
sexually abusing young people, and they're in positions like this,
you know, counselor youth services. Maybe they're at a church
or something like that. So I'm glad this guy's getting

(25:43):
what's coming to him, twenty five years in prison for
raping children. And I'm sure that will hopefully not be
a very pleasant experience for thirty four year old mister
LESCo fifty five KRC DE Talk Station fifty five KRC

(26:11):
fifty five KRC detak station by forty three on this
Thursday morning, I hope your week is going just swell.
One more day before the weekend, and Kevin Gordon's going
to be in here tomorrow morning, so that'll be big
for you. Let's go to the phones and Bobby j
is calling in this morning, and Bobby Jay, how are
you this morning?

Speaker 6 (26:30):
I'm doing great, my friend, Dan, A special thank you.
Can't express our true feelings of appreciation. You're carrying that
torture freedom high and bright every day.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
I think that I do what I can, Car, I
do what I can Brother, especially for this audience. This
audience is such a great and loyal audience that it is.
I'm humbled to be here any chance I get.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
Well, everybody has their own opinion. I'm no different, but
I just want to try to reiterate the point that
we are in a cultural revolution. These individuals on the
left have a said ideology that you're not going to break,
So figure out a way that you can go ahead,
and let's just say piss them all with at least

(27:13):
amount of effort, and just smile at it when you
do it. Well in my opinion for the day.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, Bobby Jay, I appreciate that, and you have yourself
a great day, sir. Thank you. All right, there you go,
Bobby Jay always appreciate him dialing us up and what
he said. What he said is right. And I don't
know if after what the White House did yesterday that
Democrats are going to be willing to die on the

(27:40):
hill of this, this MS thirteen dude who got a
shipped down to El Salvador. I mean, the I think
there is You know, I remember when Adam Schiff used
to be on TV all the time, and you remember
it well too, when he used to about Donald Trump

(28:01):
and the Russian collusion. All there is ample evidence, all
kinds of evidence out there suggesting that Trump was in
collusion with the Russians. Well, you want to talk about
ample evidence, there is ample evidence that this deported MS
thirteen gang member, kilmar Abrego Garcia was a gang banger.

(28:27):
And one of the things that they're talking about is
in Tricia McLachlan. I think I've got a cut from her.
She's an assistant at Department of Homeland Security, but she's
talking about how this guy when when he was arrested,
he had rolls of cash and drugs arrested with other
members of MS thirteen. Two judges have found that he
is indeed an MS thirteen gang member and that finding

(28:49):
has not been disputed, and that when he was arrested
he was effectively wearing an MS thirteen uniform and that
comes from Department of Homeland Security. But now, you know,
none of that is good for the national media. None
of that is good enough for the you know a

(29:09):
lot of lallmakers, a lot of Democrats in this country.
And again, I don't know if this is going to
be hill they're willing to die on. But we'll see
what happens today. In the face of all this stuff
that came out yesterday, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty
five KRCD Talk Station, fifty five KRCD Talk Station. One

(29:42):
of the things that President Trump did yesterday was teaming
up with DOGE to deny federal housing and jobs and
benefits to illegal aliens, which I think is a good idea.
There's also a poll that came out. Let me see
if I can find that showing that, you know, most
Americans do not want illegal aliens voting in US elections.

(30:07):
Is there really anyone who can argue with that? Newly
released rats musc and polls shows voters overwhelmingly support preventing
non citizens from participating in US elections. The key word
here is prevent, because the law already says only US
citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections, but in

(30:27):
numerous cases, non citizens have fraudulently cast ballots, throwing our
results off and destabilizing trust in the election system. Just
this month, Logan Washburn, an elections correspondent at Federalist, reported
on fifteen likely non citizens who voted in Michigan. May

(30:47):
seem like a small number, but this is one case
among many, and that is enough to sway a close election.
The easy fix is to require everyone registering to vote
to prove to provide proof of United States citizenship. This
is the simple goal of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility

(31:09):
the SAVE Act, which was recently passed in the House
and must now clear the Senate. The SAVE Act, sponsored
by Chip Roy of Texas, requires in person voter registration
and documentation proving US citizenship by showing a real ID
US passport, military ID, birth certificate, or other forms of ID.

(31:33):
A national telephone survey and online survey of one thousand
and forty eight likely voters. How important the ras mustn't asked?
How important is it to prevent illegal immigrants from voting
in US elections seventy five percent, overwhelming overwhelming majority said
it's very important, and to my way of thinking, that

(31:56):
number should be closer to one hundred percent. CJ is
on the line. Day, How are you this morning?

Speaker 7 (32:02):
I'm going to excellent yourself.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
All right, Cee Day? What's up?

Speaker 3 (32:05):
You know?

Speaker 7 (32:06):
Yesterday I was driving to work and I noticed gas
prices went through the roof all not through the roof,
but they went up quite a bit yesterday. And so
doing some reading and some research, there is a major
earthquake that happened yesterday. And Adam Smith wins the game
because California has done so much damage to this country
politically through their environmental policies that they're not only having

(32:28):
one refinery closed this year, they are having a second
one close a year from now, and that is going
to be close to twenty percent of their gasoline supply,
which is going to reduce the national gasoline supply as well.
And until we understand and realize how dangerous these environmental
policies are, that it is actually part of the plan,

(32:50):
it is not the consequence that it is going to
be a continual effort across this country, and it will
be the issue that may prevent the typical mid term
election bounce from the minority party, because I don't care
how many people are showing up to an AOC of it.
If you're paying six dollars a gallon of gas and

(33:11):
it's all due to some crazy California.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Communists, which I'm a ninth generation.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
Californian myself, it is going to sway this country to
stay on the right.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Well, CJ, I think you you know, you make a
good point about gas prices. Although I got I think
I got gas yesterday and I think it was I
want to say it was two seventy six where I
got gas, So I don't know where you got gas,
but I would be surprised if it's much higher than
that anywhere around the tri States. Maybe I.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
Went from two eighty three eighty five or two eighty five,
I'm sorry, at three nineteen overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Well then it sounds to me like you just hit
the wrong place at the wrong time. But CJ, I
appreciate the update on that. Got to run. We got
news coming up at the top of the hour here
on fifty five KRC, the talk station I always appreciate

(34:26):
Sean McMahon rolling out the Van Allen checking off your
Thursday morning, six oh five, two days after tax Day.
It's so far in the rear view miror now we
just need to forget about that. But it's Dan Carrolyn
for Brian Thomas on the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Always glad to be here. I'm glad you are here

(34:48):
as well. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand.
I just gave the wrong number fifty five. That slipped
out a couple of times this week. Five three, seven,
five hundred. Uh, you do that. You can call Tom
Brenneman down the hall. He'll be glad to take your call.
What do we have going on? So, Gail King, it

(35:13):
has been answering some questions about her her flight, her
mission in the Jeff Bezos rocket went up to space
and all that. You say, you probably you know, we
talked about it on the day that it happened. And
and look again, I've been a fan of space flight
since the earl. In my earliest days. I can remember,

(35:35):
you know, Kennedy kicked off the you know, we got
to go to the Moon, and you know, I was
I think that was before I was born actually when
he said that, But you know, I was a kid
growing up and watching the Space Race. I remember that
that July night when watching the TV and he had

(35:58):
Walter Konkrete and talking about, you know, we've got live
pictures from the Moon, Neil Armstrong walking on the Moon
all that. So that I've always been a big fan
of spaceflight, and I have no problem at all with
these women taking off and you know, these space cadets
going up in the space. Katie Perry, Gail King, all

(36:20):
these others is referred to as girl bosses, and Gail
King just as she's just not happy with the way
this is all being portrayed. And my buddy Curtis Hauk
over it Newsblusters did a look at this and talked
about how much time CBS spent covering this flight. So

(36:46):
he writes on Monday, this past Monday, CBS Morning co
host Gail King took off on Blue Origins mission NS
thirty one for what was from liftoff to touchdown back
to Earth ten minutes and fourteen seconds from liftoff to
touching back down to Earth ten minutes fourteen seconds from

(37:11):
its February twenty seventh announcement. Through recaps on Tuesday, CBS
Morning News spent roughly two hundred and fifteen minutes, that's
three hours, thirty five minutes trumpeting King and her all
female crew, nearly twenty one times more than the actual
duration on board the rocket owned by Jeff Bezos. NewsBusters

(37:36):
examined all forty one episodes of CBS Morning A CBS
Saturday Morning between the unveiling February twenty seventh through Tuesday,
March fifteenth to examine all mentions alluding to or segments
related to King's adventure. Of those fourteen days, nineteen of
them included references to King going from where are going

(37:59):
to where a few humans have had the fortune to go.
For this study, we excluded all episodes of CBS Sunday Morning.
Given this function as a news magazine, CBS Morning Plus
has it only airs on five CBS owned and operated
stations and the CBS streaming platform, so you know there

(38:19):
had to be coverage on those outlets as well. The
most coverage came on launch day, with a whopping forties
two minutes and forty eight seconds in the regular two hours,
and then another forty eight minutes since twenty five seconds
in the special third hour. So I mean it's I mean,
this has been you. If you're watching the CBS Morning News,

(38:45):
you have not been able to turn it on without
knowing that Gail King was going to go into space
and ever since they've been back. Now, look, I think
I think a lot of Americans have looked at this
and said, Okay, that's great girls, thank you very much.

(39:05):
But I guess I guess she wants you know, I
guess that you know, the coverage that you got on
that is not good enough. And here she was talking
about I think this was with the TV show Extra
and here she was talking about it and Sean mcmanhon,
let's hear cut number one. Please.

Speaker 8 (39:23):
I don't like that people are calling it a ride.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
A ride.

Speaker 8 (39:26):
You know, you never see a man, a male astronaut
who's going up in space and they said, oh, we
took a ride. We actually duplicated the route that Alan
Shepherd did. That's why it's called this particular capsule is
called the New Shepherd. We duplicated that route, that route.
No one said he took that ride. It's always referred
to as a flight or a journey. So I feel

(39:48):
that that's a little disrespectful to what the mission was
and what the work that Blue Origin does does. We
use space technology all the time, whether it's your GPS,
whether it's your satellite. That doesn't just happen every time
a flight goes up. They get some type of information.
Two of the astronauts, I still have a hard time
calling myself an astronaut.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
So there's Gail King and look here's me. My point is,
you went up in the space. It takes it. There's
no question in my mind. It takes a certain amount
of courage to climb into that rocket and launch yourself
up in the space, whether it's the edge of space,

(40:29):
you know, the upper stratosphere or whatever you want to
call it. To do that take there is a certain
amount of and I am giving that to these ladies
all day long. But don't make it out to be
something more than it actually was. What science are the
American people or the people around the world going to

(40:50):
benefit from that you conducted on board that flight, not
the ride. The flight and by the way, calling it
a ride, uh, the USA today is calling it a ride.
Here's the headline. Could you take a space ride or
could you take a ride to space? What to know
about the Blue Origin after the celebrity space flight, and

(41:12):
of course they you know, they were all talking about
and how great it was for women across the world
and all that. Do you know how much, Sean, do
you know how much a ticket is to write on
the Blue Origin, the the Jeff Bezos space launch. I'd
have to imagine hundreds of thousands to the first tickets
sold for twenty eight million dollars even close, Yeah, twenty
eight million. So what are the chances that the ordinary

(41:34):
people are going to get to go on the the
you know, the the take a ride in.

Speaker 9 (41:37):
The space I think I could save the course of
like ten lifetimes.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
No, so the average person is not going to be
nearly as lucky as Gail King. And I don't know
how she has room to complain about. And then she
goes on to talk about how well we did the
same route as Alan Shepherd. Well you know what, No,
you didn't. Alan Shepherd, whose first mission ushered in the

(42:06):
age of American human spaceflight, also became the first space
traveler to manually control the orientation of the craft. Okay,
so Alan Shepherd actually had controls in his spacecraft to
manually control and control the orientation of the spacecraft. Yuri Gagarin,

(42:32):
who was the first person into space, a Russian cosmonaut,
that flight was largely automated. That's the way the Russians
did it. So the other part is she talks about
how they recreated the exact same route that Shepherd flew. Well,
that's not true either. On his suburber orbital flight in

(42:54):
the Freedom seven capsule, Alan Shepherd reached an altitude of
one hundred and sixteen miles. This flight was on May fifth,
nineteen sixty one. It made him the first American in space. Now,
the Blue Origin took a similar route, but it's not

(43:16):
the exact same as according to Gail King. Let's see
the mission called NS thirty one included Lauren Sanchez, who's
engaged to Bezos. Also the new Shepherd rocket. Then you've
got the names of these other ladies who went up there.
Let's see the sixty foot tall rocket topped with the

(43:39):
They call it the gum drop shaped crew capsule. And
I think there's a lot of other commentary that the
capsule looks like, you know, the rocket looks like something
else when you take a look at it. But so
that was the capsule. And then I played the sound
of the women on board the the ship and I

(44:01):
don't know, I don't know where these you know, these
scientific experiments took place. But maybe they'll fill us in
on that one of these days. But this capsule went
to the sixty two mile high internationally recognized boundary of space,
sixty two miles. So Alan Shepherd went up one hundred

(44:21):
and sixteen miles. They went sixty two miles. That's almost double,
almost double what the women did. Alan Shepherd had controls
in his space cap Are there any controls at all
inside the Blue Origin? So if someone says it's a ride,

(44:44):
it pretty much is a ride. You're Yeah, there's a
lot of discussion going on. You know, were they crew
members or were they passengers? You're sitting in there. You know,
when you ride on a big jet airplane and you
fly from one end of the country to the other.
Are you going for a ride or are you a
crew member? Do you have any controls? What's you can control?

(45:06):
The what can you control on an airplane? Sean mcmah,
You can control what the the little thing where the
you know, where the air comes out. And the light
you can blow air on yourself. There's a light you
can control if you sit by the window. Yeah, you
got the little shade that goes up and down. The
last time I was on an airplane, there used to
be a little buttons on the side of the handle,

(45:27):
and you could recline the seat a little bit. That
option has gone from the last the least few times
I flew there was there was no reclining of the
seat whatsoever. So that's gone. And you can put your
luggage in the overhead bind Those are not really controls
of the of the craft. So Gail King, please spare

(45:50):
us the the indignation because people, you know, look, talk
about your spaceflight all you want, Just don't make it
out to be something more than it was. I am
not questioning your courage. I am not questioning the courage
of any of these other women. I'm not questioning how
wonderful and exhilarating would be what I if I was

(46:13):
able to find someone to pay my twenty eight million
dollars so I could take a ride on that, I
certainly would. You know, William Shatner went up in the
Blue Origin. He didn't try to make it You know
he wasn't, and he came back and he was still
you know, we didn't trying to make it sound like
he was doing things that that Captain Kirk did when

(46:34):
he was zooming around on the Starship Enterprise. So Gail King,
don't make it more than it was. That's all I'm saying.
Not trying to belittle your or your accomplishment at all,
but don't tell me you did the same route as
Alan Shepherd and that you were a crew member as

(46:58):
opposed to taking a ride passenger. If it was a
guy that went up there, we'd be talking about the
exact same way. And if he tried to make it
out to be more than it was, I'd probably have
a lot more harsh criticism than I do for you.
Six eighteen late for a break, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
fifty five krc DE talk.

Speaker 10 (47:20):
Station, fifty five krc Can I get meg a million?

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Fifty five krc DE talk station one more day for
Dan Carrolyn for Brian Thomas, Kevin Gordon since here tomorrow,
so we'll all be listening together to that. Let's go
back to the phones, and William is on the line,
and William here on fifty five KRC. How's it going,
Thank you.

Speaker 11 (47:51):
Sir, good morning, Thank you for taking my call. And
I've just got a few points. I mean, here, okay,
what was the purpose of these women? I just got
three questions. What was these women's purpose.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
To go up there?

Speaker 11 (48:07):
They were up there for eleven minutes I heard, and
what did they do? I mean, and what was the
whole purpose of it? It looked like these women, with
all due respect, I don't understand, and I hope taxpayer
money wasn't involved in this. It was symbolism without any substance.

(48:30):
These women going up into a spaceship. It looks like
a penis What are they doing?

Speaker 2 (48:36):
What I mean?

Speaker 1 (48:38):
You know, hold on, hold on one second, son McMahon.
Do you still have the sound that I played on
I believe it was either Monday or Tuesday of when
the women were up there in the space capsule. Yeah,
let me see it, let me see you can hear it.
I actually, yeah, I actually played the sound of them
when they were in the space capsule and I was
I was listening and I did this. I believe it

(49:00):
was on Tuesday. But I did the story and I
talked about there was an interview that took place with
May Jemison, who was one of the one of the
well not the first female. I believe she was the
first black woman in space. And whoever was doing the
interview with her talked about how they were going to

(49:21):
conduct scientific experiments on board this flight. And I'm and
I'm thinking to myself, look, the whole thing lasted less
than eleven minutes from takeoff to landing, less than eleven minutes.
I don't know of very many scientific experiments that you
can that you can do in that span of time.
So you asked what they did up there. Sean McMahon

(49:43):
has found the SoundBite of what the women recorded themselves
doing once they once they got to weightlessness. And William
listened to this, and will he be able to hear
this on the phone when Okay listen to this. This
is this is their recording of what they did when
it was time to unstrap and be weightlessness, for the

(50:05):
amount of time that they were weightless. And here it
is hit.

Speaker 12 (50:08):
That got it one two, three, mirror tmr's in space.

Speaker 13 (50:23):
He's Okay's land up there. Flynn, I got you, I
got youa Flynn gotcha?

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Oh oh, the moon.

Speaker 10 (50:41):
You guys, I will have to tell you.

Speaker 7 (50:43):
Look at the moon.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
That's amazing. Wow, look at the blue line.

Speaker 12 (50:49):
My gosh, oh my god.

Speaker 13 (50:55):
Okay, how it's time to take out.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 11 (51:09):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
All right, So William, there you go and you can
decide for yourself. That was actually.

Speaker 11 (51:19):
One last question. The taxpayer money paid for this symbolism
with any stuff?

Speaker 1 (51:26):
I do not believe there was any taxpayer money involved.
All these women who went up are extremely wealthy, extremely rich,
and uh, you know, Jeff Bezos' girlfriend was the one
who drove it. So I believe CBS footed the bill
for Gail King and and maybe Bezos paid for these
other two individuals. Who are you know, I guess they

(51:50):
claim there's some sort of scientist or something. But Katie
Perry's got enough money so she can afford it. I
don't think there was any taxpayer dollars that that were
involved in it, thank god. But you know you heard
you heard the sound from inside the capsule. So, as
I talked about earlier this morning, we report you decide.
You decide what was the benefit for all humankind that

(52:13):
these women dared the voyage to the edge of space
on fifty five KRC, the talk station. Fifty five KRC,
the talk station.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
There was a meeting last night between Cincinnati Public Schools,
the Board of Education, and the City of Cincinnati's Healthy
Neighborhoods Committee, and one of the things they talked about
was youth sports and you sports supposed to be a
safe place for kids to have fun, to compete. Multiple
games last year were disrupted by gun violence, whether it

(52:53):
was Cincinnati police responding to a shooting that injured too
at a peewee football game or CPS changing several football
game kickoffs due to community violence. Safety at you sports
felt uncertain for many. There were almost two hundred kids
still there at a time when shots went off. Most
of these kids were extremely traumatized that Peterson Mingo, a

(53:18):
community activist. Wednesday's meeting, council member Scotti Johnson said adults
betting thousands of dollars on games was the root cause
of much of this violence. Yeah. I had kids who
were involved in U sports and we went to and
we traveled all over the place to go to games,

(53:40):
whether it was soccer or football, or swimming or what
other sports did they did some baseball I don't remember
any wagering going on at any point, but apparently that's
a thing now. It has been a thing Wednesday's meeting,

(54:01):
Scotti Johnson said adults betting thousands of dollars well the
root cause of the violence. You cannot have youth football.
This is a quote from Scotti Johnson. You cannot have
youth football games where there are three, four or five
thousand dollars bets taking place. He said, people are dying
for a lot less money. Who in their right mind

(54:27):
goes out and bets that kind of jack on a
on a little kid football game. I mean, if you've
got that kind of money to throw around, I would
think that that would be money, that would be entertainment.
I don't know how you can can rely. I mean, look,
betting on college football is hard enough. Bettan on pro

(54:50):
football hard enough. How do you bet on little kid football?
Sean McMahon, would you ever put place a wager on
little kid footb No? No, I don't think so. Johnson
claims that betting is also the reason Cincinnati police no
longer patrol youth football games. Now, that doesn't make any

(55:12):
sense to me, And I don't know if I would
have seen this yesterday. I certainly would have asked Ken
Cobra about it. He said. So the reality and the
difficult conversation when it comes to our young people, are
this community stop betting on our children? Johnson said, because
that really is what has taken place, and that is

(55:33):
why Cincinnati police have stepped away. If I had a
chance to talk to Scotti Johnson, I would certainly question that.
I don't know why Cincinnati police would step away just
because there's wagering going on in the stands and it's apparently,
according to Scotti Johnson, led to some of the shootings

(55:55):
and violence that we saw last year. Yeah. You look,
if you're a parent out there and you've got a
little kid involved in youth football, you don't need to
be wagering on the you know, maybe it's a you know,
a form of entertainment, I don't know, but you don't
need to be betting on it. And then certainly, uh,

(56:16):
you know, having shots fired because someone lost a bet
on a little kid football game. To talk about things
that are ridiculous, and that's one of them right there.
Six thirty six on fifty five KRC, the talk station
fifty five k the talk station. It's official fifty five

(56:44):
KRCD talk station, Dan Carroll for Bryan Thomas. And I
think it was yesterday, maybe around this time. Then I
had a caller and the caller was talking about the
n g o s and these nonprofits and you know,
the the money that was going out of all this
stuff that's been uncovered by And so I was getting
ready for the show today and I was looking at
the europe Post and found this piece written by Glenn Reynolds,

(57:07):
and he lays it out pretty well in this piece,
how democrats use NGOs to end run voters and starts
like this. I'm often darkly amused by common examples of
inherently false nomenclature jumbo shrimp, government ethics, unbiased news coverage,

(57:28):
and one of our society's biggest falsehoods in a name,
non governmental organizations. Until recently, these groups have been widely
seen as international idealized versions of domestic nonprofits. We thought
of them as do good organizations set up by people
who really care about the environment, about poor people, about children,

(57:50):
about freedom. We imagine they raise money, help the downtrod,
send out press releases, and engage in other private activities
to promote the causes they favor. They're not government entities,
we thought the very name says that, but a species
of private charity whose good intentions deserve the benefit of

(58:12):
any doubt. Perhaps some NGOs do operate in that way,
but as we've learned recently, partly as the result of
the Department of Government efficiency, many non governmental entities are
really just fronts for government activities that Americans would never
stand for if Washington attempted them directly. For example, America's

(58:37):
border crisis was funded in large part by President Joe
Biden's government, which sent large sums of money in the
form of grants and or grants to various NGOs that
helped train migrants how to get into the United States
and how to claim asylum once they arrived, helped the

(59:00):
illegal immigrants with expenses on the way, and provided legal
resources and more than twenty two billion dollars worth of
assistance for them, including cash for cars, home loans, and
businesses startups once they got in. This was US taxpayer

(59:20):
money laundered through independent organizations that served to promote goals
contrary to US law but consistent with the policy preferences
of the Biden administration under President Trump, this funding has
been halted, and unsurprisingly, the flow hold on saying yeah,

(59:45):
so this funding has been halted, and unsurprisingly the flow
of illegal immigrants did too. Likewise, the weird wave of
sudden global enthusiasm for trans rights and novel ideas about
gender turns out to have been largely funded by the
US government through USAID grants. USAID. I remember all the

(01:00:06):
talk about USAID when that first surface. Federally funded mngos
spent millions on everything from a transgender opera in Colombia
to a campaign promoting being LGBTQ in the Caribbean to
an lgbt community center in Bratslavia, Slovakia. As data expert
Jenny's Pounds puts it, over the last few months, we've

(01:00:29):
come to a realization that should have landed much harder.
NGOs weren't just adjacent to government. They were tools of
the government, the parallel government, specifically doing things that Washington
bureaucrats knew fool well they could not easily do themselves.
The big surprise is that we are so surprised that

(01:00:52):
this has been going on. The Lack of accountability also
made NGOs a perfect conduit for funneling money to Washington insiders.
It's been a profitable cycle. Politicians fund agencies, agencies make
grants to NGOs, NGOs hire politicians wives and offsprings, and

(01:01:14):
sometimes the politicians themselves once they've left office. Senator Sheldon
white House, Democrat Rhode Island, for example, voted to award
fourteen point two million dollars to Ocean Conservancy since two
thousand and eight. The NGO, in turn, paid his wife,
Sandral Whitehouse and her form two point seven million dollars

(01:01:39):
for consulting work. So see, this is what I was
talking about yesterday, you know, in the grand scheme of things,
fourteen point two million dollars going from the federal government
to the Ocean Conservancy. Yes, I mean, it's not even
a drop in the bucket, it's not even scratching the surface.

(01:02:02):
But when that money funnels down to the wife of
someone like Senator Sheldon white House and her firm, her
consulting firm gets paid two point seven million dollars for
consulting work, well, then all of a sudden that turns
into a nice fat number, doesn't it. No wonder the
Washington establishment went crazy when Trump and Doge started cutting

(01:02:24):
off such funds. It was striking to see how many
NGOs folded their tents almost immediately when Trump shut down USAIDS,
sprawling and largely unmonitored grant making activities. And THENNGO that
can't function without government money is anything but non governmental.

(01:02:45):
That is a that is a profundanity. As Rush Limbaugh
used to say, An NGO that can't function without government
money is anything but non governmental. And that's part of
a global pattern. So this is just an excellent piece

(01:03:05):
that lays out exactly what I was trying to tell
the caller the other day about how these things work.
And it's odd how this money always finds its way
into the hands of people who are friendly with politicians
on Capitol Hill, people who are related family members, and

(01:03:28):
that money, again, it's money laundring. It goes out, some
of it gets used for the intended purpose, and usually
it's not much, and it comes back in. And the
Clintons have been way ahead of the curve on this
for decades now decades, and everyone else was in on
the grift too, And at least Trump brought it to

(01:03:51):
a stop, at least for now. Six forty seven fifty
five krc We got Mic on the line. We'll hear
what Mike has to say about youth gambling. Are gambling
on you sports? After this fifty five KRCD Talk Station

(01:04:11):
fifty five KRCD Talk Station six fifty one on this
Thursday morning, my final morning's this week, sitting in for
Brian Thomas, and let's go to the phones, and Mike
is online and Mike, you're on fifty five KRC.

Speaker 14 (01:04:26):
I got to count about the people gambling on you sport. Yeah,
I wonder how much just stems back to all the
like draft Kings and all that they've gotten people so
addicted to gambling.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
They'll gamble on anything. I mean, I would have to
go ahead.

Speaker 14 (01:04:45):
They tempt you it there and they're like, hey, you
bet five dollars, We'll give you another two hundred bucks
a bet, And I mean they it's so much out
there in your face anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
It's it's gotten ridiculous. I don't know. I look at
it and I remember when I first heard about this.
I'm thinking, you know, maybe this is just a few
dads who are looking for a way to generate a
little more Look going to a kid's football game, if
you're a parent, it's a big deal if your kid is,

(01:05:14):
you know, eight nine or ten years old and they're
playing in a youth football game. Outside of that, they
really don't generate all that much excitement. So maybe maybe
there's some dads or some parents who need field and
need to generate a little more excitement. I would think
that if you're betting, you know, doing like real sports gambling,
if you're betting on the Masters, or you're betting on

(01:05:34):
football or college basketball, whatever the case may be, I
would think that's sort of a different mindset, a different
level of betting than when you go to a little kid,
you know, a pee wee football game, and you got
little kids who are running around the field like that.
I mean you, I mean, really, do you ever know
what you're going to get out of a out of
a you know, kids who are eight, nine or ten

(01:05:55):
years old playing football or are really engaging in any sport.
I mean, they're pretty much out there just running around
and having fun. At least that's what, you know, what
the premise ought to be. We lost Mike Sean. You
didn't hang up on him, did you, I know, he
just sort of he just sort of faded out.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
There.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
All right, Well, well we certainly appreciate that. What else
do we have going on? What else? What else do
we have going on? Let's see, let's see we talked
about Gail King and her launching into space. Oh, the
city of Chicago, Cinco de Mayo was coming up, sewn.
Do you ever do anything for Cinco de Mayo.

Speaker 9 (01:06:33):
Oh, it's my brother's birthday that day, birthday, So that's
that's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Then, I mean you put on a sombrero, you know,
and go out and have a few Margarita's stuff like that.
Definitely Margarita's. Yeah, I love I love me and Margarita.
How can you not? I certainly I like the fee
Do you like that? I like the Frozen ones?

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Those are really good. Yeah, I do like the Frozen ones.
But in Chicago, the annual Cinco de Mayo parade on
the South Side has been canceled this year organ is
or citing concerns over increased federal immigration enforcement operations. So
I guess they I guess what is going on in Chicago. Look,

(01:07:11):
if you're in the country legally, if you are here
and in good standing, you don't have anything to fear.
This is the kind of stuff that just raises uh,
you know, unnecessary, unnecessary concern, unnecessary Uh, you know, it's

(01:07:31):
just it's just the whole thing is unnecessary anxiety. The
announcement comes amid growing anxiety within the city's undocumented population. Okay,
if you're undocumed. Look, if you're undocumented, you should have
a lot more, a lot more bigger fish to fry
than whether or not you're going to go to a
Sinko to Mayo parade. Would it makes sense for Tom

(01:07:56):
Homan and his his crews to be out there during
the Sinko to my I think it would. Might they
be able to identify some people who are in the
country illegal? Quite possibly, yes, But don't you know, don't
cancel the parade for those people who want to legitimately
have a good time that day. Look, if Chicago's undocumented

(01:08:20):
population is that robust, then you know Tom Homan and
his folks need to get in there and get busy.
Six fifty six fifty five krs. The talk station fifty

five KRC Detalk Station seven O five on this Thursday
morning is rocking and rolling all the way through this week.
Only one more day and then we have a great weekend.
I hope you're all having a great week so far.
And looks like it could be a little stormy this weekend,
so we had the forecast coming up in a little bit.
This senator from Maryland Chris van Holland Jesse Waters calls

(01:09:12):
him Chris van Halen, which I find slightly amusing. But
he decided to go down to El Salvador, and for
some reason, he is in love with this Abrego Garcia.
Some reason he's in love with this dude. And I know,
I guess he figured who was ever giving this guy

(01:09:33):
advice is giving him some bad advice, and he's a fool.
He's a moron for taking this advice and making such
a big deal about going down to El Salvador and
acting as if he's going to bust this dude out
of prison. He got down there and then he I mean,
he sent videos himself in the airport, video of himself

(01:09:54):
when he landed, video of himself driving to whatever city
he drove to, said he was going to meet with
these very important leaders of El Salvador, then go to
the prison and bring this guy home. Got to bring
this guy home. Well, first of all, he's in the
country illegally, and the Assistant Secretary of State, Trician McLaughlin

(01:10:18):
was on ABC News and again, this is what I
love about the Trump this Trump administration. They are not
hiding from any of this stuff, anything that gets thrown
up against them. They are going out and confronting every
single issue and they certainly are not hiding from this.
But Assistant Secretary Trisia McLaughlin was on ABC News and

(01:10:39):
really laid it out for him about what is going
on with this dude, and this is what it sounded like.
Sean McMahon Cutt number two.

Speaker 15 (01:10:46):
Please, he is a member of MS thirteen. I don't
think you'd want to be his neighbor. Jai, I sure one,
And I don't think many Americans watching would want to
be this individual's neighbor. He's been involved in human trafficking,
he's been involved in labor trafficking, and he should not
in this country. So whether he's in a now salvatory,
in jail or US detention facility, I am so very glad,

(01:11:06):
as are millions of Americans that he is off of
US streets because remember Jay, who is MS thirteen. They maim,
they rape, they kill Americans for sport and the American
people are done with it, they said. So on November fifth, four.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
They maime, they rape, they kill us citizens, and these
are the people. This is the individual that this Senator
Van Holland wants to bring back to the United States.
Wants to pretend as though the Trump administration is guilty
of some egregious crime for sending this guy down to

(01:11:44):
El Salvador. And so the White House is pretty much
having a full court press on this dude. And they
shot back putting out all the evidence they have that
this guy is a mess of their teen gang member
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, twenty nine years old, El Salvadorian national.

(01:12:09):
So the notion that, you know, the Van Holland wants
to bring him home to Maryland is completely false because
the guys from El Salvador, so he is home, entered
the United States illegally when he was sixteen, and now
he is the local you know, the current caused leb

(01:12:30):
for the for the Democrat Party. So Van Holland went
down there, tried to get him out of prison. The
prison said nababa, nah, you're not coming in. You're not
meeting with this guy, and you're not making us look
like fools. We are not. They are not sending him back.
The White House put out all kinds of stuff about

(01:12:51):
this dude. Let's see, let's see what I do with this.
The media would love for you to believe that this
is the media, darling. They would love for you to
believe that, you know, the Trump administration is in the
wrong for sending this guy down there. You know, they've

(01:13:13):
released all the documentation, they have all you know, these
different judges that have found this guy to be an
MS thirteen gang member, and they I don't know how
much more documentation you can put out there. But of
course the media want to say that there's no evidence
that this guy is a gang member at all. When

(01:13:33):
Garcia was arrested in March of twenty nineteen, he was
with some of his homies found to be in possession
of marijuana, discarded several other items at the scene. There
are two small plastic bottles containing marijuana located at the scene.
He was arrested with two other members of MS thirteen,
and their names are provided here. Fourth individual, who was unnamed,

(01:13:57):
was also interviewed. Members of the Prince George's County Gang
Unit MS thirteen Intelligence squad have encountered these other individuals
multiple times, and they really they go chapter in verse
and then at the White House yesterday there was gut

(01:14:18):
wrenching testimony from Rachel Marin's mother. Now, Rachel Marin is
a woman and her mother lives in Maryland, so she
is a constituent of this Senator Van Holland, and she
was talking about just the horrific circumstances that surrounded her daughters.

(01:14:42):
But it wasn't good enough for NBC or any of
the coverage from any of the major networks. According to NewsBusters,
the legacy media continues their advocacy on behalf of this
guy kill mar Abrego Garcia, the MS thirteen gangster who

(01:15:07):
was deported to El Salvador. They ran about twelve seconds
worth a coverage on this, and this is what at
least the intro to the piece sounded like, this is
Tom Lamas, who's the anchor, and this is how they
address this situation. Let's hear cut number three.

Speaker 16 (01:15:29):
There are several breaking developments tonight on the president's mass
deportation plans and the way they're being carried out from
courtrooms to the streets, including this one near Boston. We're
seeing dramatic tactics from ICE agents making a rest.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
So they're talking about dramatic tactics of ICE agents. And
when he talks about the courtroom, there's video from looks
like there's a guy who gets off an elevator it
looks like and is running from ICE agents and they
tackle the dude to catch up to them. And there
was some other video they had of some windows being
busted out of a car. So this so we're, you know,

(01:16:06):
again NBC trying to put fear into people that these
ICE agents through out of control. But when it came
to covering Patty moren here's what that coverage sounded like.
Let's hear cut number four.

Speaker 6 (01:16:19):
Lly today the White House highlighting the story of Patty Morin,
whose daughter Rachel was killed by an undocumented immigrant.

Speaker 8 (01:16:26):
These are the kind of criminals President Trump wants to
remove from our country.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
And that was it. That was it. And here is
the same woman speaking to Senator twenty five KRCD talk
station seven nineteen. My buddy's eke garam Arkham coming up

(01:16:54):
at the bottom of the hour. In the meantime, let's
go back to the phones and too Sweetish checking.

Speaker 17 (01:16:58):
In Hey, good morning, dad.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Sweet good to hear your voice this morning.

Speaker 17 (01:17:01):
How are you pretty good? I got a theory on
the gambling in the Little league.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Let's hear it.

Speaker 17 (01:17:07):
Some of the street hustlers dan or financing some of
these teams, okay, and they're trying to recruit, recruit, I mean,
you know, get some of the investment back, and they're
trying to win championships for bragging rights. That's what I
hear is going on in the street because they can't
get expensive for equipment, trips, et cetera. So that's what

(01:17:30):
a gamlean, that's what enticing his gampling.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
Are these the youth football leagues? Are they are they?
Are they legitimate? I mean, if if they're being.

Speaker 17 (01:17:40):
Funday, yep, yeah, game'll be in a whole bit. But
you got to get the funny, Well, sure you do.
And so you know, the equipment can be very expensive,
and and and the street hustler he's the one that's
investing in these teams.

Speaker 1 (01:17:53):
So instead of these kids going out and selling the
candy bars and mattresses and stuff.

Speaker 17 (01:17:58):
Like that, some of that goes on to but some
of them just don't have the true financial vacking, so
that the street uster will put his money up.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
So are they wagering against parents or the kids? You know,
he got the parents from one team wagering against the
kids from the other team. How does that? How does
that on?

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Yep?

Speaker 17 (01:18:15):
Yep, yep, that's the second what's going on? And some
of those little teams be dominating, So you know it's
right for for gambling, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
Would you would you wager that kind of money on
a nine year old playing football?

Speaker 17 (01:18:28):
New but you know the guy that the owners sort
of speak, he will because he's spending thousands of dollars
and you want to get it back.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
So is this like, is this like a whole subculture
that I would.

Speaker 17 (01:18:43):
Say so yep, yep, for sure, yep, an no doubt
about it there. That's my theory. That's what it looks
like to me.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
That's what I hear is there is there some some
real talent? Are they Are they trying to latch onto
these kids maybe for future earnings, you know, maybe when
the hook up with some of the nil money when
they get to college and and and maybe even beyond that.

Speaker 17 (01:19:04):
Is that like a long time you can discount that
it was a kid that he was he was a
pretty tired of the kid. He just committed suicide here recently.
And he had some talent young kid, he's nice five,
big kid, but he got caught up to the stuff
and committed suicide here, originally very talented football player. Yeah,

(01:19:25):
I mean that's it's a culture for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
I don't know, that's it to my way of thinking.
If you've got little kids who are playing sports, this
is really is it's an abomination. It's an adulteration. I mean,
these sorts of things should not be happening when it
especially when they involve little kids. You got the kids
out there try trying to have fun, trying to learn
a little something, and you know, you got adults who

(01:19:50):
are you know, gambling and putting all this kind of
you know, putting all these kind of extra things on
on the on these little kids, the precious What about
is that? Is that falling on the coaches? Is you know,
it's one thing, you know, when when my kid was
playing little kid football, I used to have the coach

(01:20:12):
tell me, uh, the coach told me that you know
that that you look at every parent. We were at
a like, you know, a year end event, and he
sees he came up to me and said, you're the
only parent who never called me during the course of
the season and talked about, Hey, my kid needs to
play tight end, or my kid needs to you know,
be the you know, be the running back or the
quarterback or whatever. And and so I can only imagine

(01:20:35):
you know, you know, you got the coaches that I
dealt with, we're dealing with that kind of pressure. But
when you're talking about this kind of money changeing hands,
that seems to me like it it's a whole different
level of pressure for those who are called in the
coaching and the administration of and all the rest of
that stuff.

Speaker 17 (01:20:50):
And you got some of the street halls who are coaches,
so that gives them even the more sent up to
one again to get that money back.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
You know, what kind of breaking rights can you have
if you you've got little.

Speaker 17 (01:21:01):
We we we we we we We're the king of
the Kings. We win a championship here in the heart,
That's that's what it's all about. I just up here
from what I what I hear on the streets.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
Man, Yeah, you're probably a little bit closer to it
than I am. But too sweet. Always great to hear you, Yes.

Speaker 17 (01:21:19):
You have to give me some coverage. But did you
read the Kevin Olwich article last Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Regarding Tom Brenneman. Yes, I did. Was the radio station
deciding to bring him on? But what what what he
talked about was? Uh he mentioned the the Trump administration
unrelenting attack on the l g B t Q community
and nonsense. And I know a lot of people in

(01:21:47):
this community. I know a lot of people who you know,
in that community who support this president and his policies,
and they don't want to be associated with, you know,
the mutilation of children, the under affirming this and and
all that nonsense, and the transgender issues and all the
rest of it. So you know, that is what largely

(01:22:09):
Trump is looking at to call this an all out assault.
The only thing that they really got me on that
is I would like to see him provide some evidence
to that, and I really don't think that he'd be
able to.

Speaker 17 (01:22:21):
Did he give you the impression that he was disappointed
at alw Herding?

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
I don't know. I would like to think that he
was leaving that decision up to the up to the readers. Obviously,
he you know one he was the way I read
that was. There was a letter that was published a
couple of days before Aldrich wrote that piece, and the
letter essentially said the same thing that the letter was.

(01:22:52):
The letter writer was saying that they shouldn't have hired
him because of, you know, these past transgressions. But you know,
the way Aldrich lated it out there was that, you know,
Brenneman apparently declared that, you know, he's a he's a
staunch supporter of Trump, and then tied that in with
Trump's unrelenting attack on the LGBT community. So he was

(01:23:15):
sort of questioning the sincerity that Brennanman has had when
it comes to, you know, apologizing for you know, whatever
behavior he was guilty of.

Speaker 17 (01:23:25):
Well, I think if you listen to Kevin, he's clearly
a bleeding on leftist.

Speaker 1 (01:23:29):
Well that that may be true, But you know, I
I've had him on the show a couple of times,
and we've always had some honest discussions, and I certainly
hope that'll continue in the future. But Too Sweet, we
got to run. I appreciate the call, appreciate you check
it in brother, all right, take care? Too Sweet. Always
good to hear his voice. Seven twenty six on fifty
five KRC The Talk Station fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.

(01:23:50):
A Minute of Hope is brought to you by the
Lendard R see the Talk station seven thirty on this
Thursday morning, Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas. One more day,
Kevin Gordon'll be here tomorrow morning, and I get to

(01:24:10):
welcome in one of my one of my all time
favorite guests, Zeke Arkham is a prolific poster on different
types of social media. I follow him on X but
I would, I would imagine or recommend that you follow
him just on any social media outlet you possibly can.
And Zeke Arkham, it is great to have you back
on the radio fifty five KRC. How are you this morning?

(01:24:33):
Thanks for getting up early. By the way, You're welcome,
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
How are you, my friend? I'm good to have me
on again.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
I'm good. It's it's always great to have you on.
And I see now you're calling yourself a professional roaster.
I love that because I say someone gets in your crosshairs,
they're going to get it pretty good. You know a
lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
People tell me don't see the trols. I've seed them.
Just be as the entertainment for me. You know, if
you if you come at me, I'm gonna Mickey pay
for it. And I pretty much got a queen record,
so I like doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
It is it is amazing to me how many people
choose to come after you, and they do so to
their regret, I think eventually, And I'm gonna get to
that probably here in a little bit. But let me
ask you. You're in the You're in the belly of
the beast. You're there in New York. And Letitia James
that this story that that broke late I guess it

(01:25:32):
was Tuesday night and during the day yesterday and continues
on into today about she may have falsified this documentation
when it comes to getting mortgage loans pretty much the
exact same thing that she went after President Trump for.
How is all this playing in New York? I would
imagine that this is a pretty big story in your

(01:25:54):
neck of the woods.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Well, thankfully, I'm on Long Island, which is which is
a lot more red than New York City, which thank god,
because I'm running out of places to move to. But
you know, listen that old adage, if you come out
after the king, you better not miss and she missed.
They all did, and Trumps president and I have no

(01:26:18):
problem with him now going okay, well, let's let's turn
the lens back on you. Now, let's see what you've
got going on. And it terms you know, she's she
lived in a glasshouse, and she threw stones, and now
some stones are getting thrown back at her. And I
can't wait to see how this develops. You know, I
wanted to see her have to answer now. I want

(01:26:40):
to see her after a paint a test for what
she's got going on. So, you know, she she missed,
the whole Democrat Party missed. You know, we all knew
this was a bogus trial to begin with when she
went after him from oligo, and there's been absolutely nothing
of substance that's come out of that. And I want
to see how this hole shapes out and if if

(01:27:04):
she's if she was caught with her hand in the
cookie jar, I want to see her pay for it. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
Yeah. The New York Post is having a field day
with this. How how much fun is it to uh
to to get up every morning and and and find
out what the cover of the New York Post is
going to be? Because they are just uh, I mean,
they are covering this like nobody's business.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
The Post isn't is a newspaper around here in New
York that uh they lean right, but they get a
lot of things wrong. But uh, you know, listen, they
their covers are unbeaten, you know, so they're they're they're
pretty good with it. And to see her on the
cover and she's looking she's got that look in her eye,

(01:27:47):
you know, she's got that uh what I call the
crying Jordan's face going on, because just her look is
just like, oh no, what's going on here? You know.
So I'm happy to see it. And like I said,
you know, if this leads to a trial for her,
that leads to her having to answer for what she's
done the videos, if this is turnabout in fair play,

(01:28:08):
like she said, no one is above the low. So
I'm all ford, let's see. I want to see how
this develops.

Speaker 1 (01:28:13):
Yeah. The the other story we've been talking about this
morning is this Senator Van Holland, Chris van Holland went
down to El Salvador, you know, pretended that he was
going to go down there and meet with the leaders
of Al Salvador, go into this prison and get this
you know, this kil maar Armando Garcia out of prison

(01:28:34):
and bring him back, bring him back home, he says
to to Marylyn. And and you were commenting on your
social media that you thought it was pretty ridiculous that
this is the hill that Democrats are choosing to die on. Well,
you know, when it comes to illegals being in this
country and this guy being an MS thirteen gang member,

(01:28:55):
it is it just it It seems to me like
it's the biggest blind spot that I've ever seen the
Democrats looking at this, that that they want the you know,
this guy is representative, representative and emblematic of just the
most horrific and horrendous things that could be brought upon
American citizens. And yet they're going down and reaching into

(01:29:17):
the muck and the meyer and they want to bring
this guy back and hold him up as an example
of everything that's wrong with the Trump administration.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
I mean, this is a typical Democrat response to anything
Trump does. Right, they're going after a gang member, a
bona fide gang member, MS thirteen gang member. You know,
the last I checked MS thirteen, they're not exactly good people.

Speaker 1 (01:29:45):
You know, they don't have to say that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
Yeah, it's not like there goal to join MEMB their team.
You know, they're like, well, what acts of benevolence have
you committed? You know, what, what volunteer work have you
done in order to get into at thirteen? You know
they're not they're not you know, opening up soup kitchens
across El Salvador exactly. So the fact that the Democrats,
you know, this, this this, this uh elected official went

(01:30:13):
to El Salvador, Like, you know, I'm going to make
this my mission to go up to the l Salvadorian
government and return with this man so he can lead
a productive blacks across America. No, this is this is
the hell you're dying on. This is what you want
to do now. This is how you choose to spend
taxpayer money because you didn't use your own money to
get down there.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
You you choose to spend taxpayer money to go to
another nation to try to demand this person's release. This
guy was a horrible person, and but this is typical
of Democrats. This is a TDS level that they're at now,
and they just make themselves look bad. You know. For me,
I'm all for you know, let's let's get that approval
rating for the Democrats down a couple more notches.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
So let you don't want to stoping from digging and
just let them. Let them keep digging. They're they're you know,
they're going the way we want them to go, So
why stand in their way if they're going to do that? Zeke,
let me ask you a hold on real quick. We
got to get to a quick break here in a
little uh weather update, and we will continue on the
other side with my buddy Zeke Arkham on fifty five KRC.

Speaker 10 (01:31:17):
The talk stays fifty five KRC.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
Hello, fifty five KRC, the talk station, continuing our conversation
with my buddy Zeke Arkham and Uh. Zeke Arkham. Let
me ask you this. One of the things you've been
commenting on a lot, is this case involving Camarado Carmelo,
Anthony uh and Austin Metcalf. First of all, how did

(01:31:44):
this case reach the celebrity status that it has in
your opinion? And then this news that came out yesterday
that this family has raised so much money on I
guess go fundme that that they are now living in
in a house, renting a house in a gated community.
They've got a brand new car. What kind of signaling

(01:32:06):
is this it's going on from this family to I guess,
I guess their supporters. What what's up with this case?

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
I legitimately have no idea, Dan, I wish I could
tell you, but I'm just seeing a lot of ugliness
coming out of it from both sides, From all sides. Honestly,
You've got black folks who are raising this person as
some sort of pariah, you know, on their behalf, saying
that this is you know, this is the hill they
want to die on, so to speak. You've got the

(01:32:37):
right meaning people who are now trying to raise this
as as their person now. And and you know, it's
just it's going back and forth, and there's a lot
of other us coming out of it. I don't know
what the facts are. I'm hearing different things about when
the house was leased, when the when the car was brought.

(01:32:58):
So I'm I'm sort of taking a stance now. Well
I'm gonna take back and I'm gonna wait for the
sax to come out, because you know, I want to
see exactly what happened. I wanted to see exactly what
the testimony is. I want to see exactly you know,
just what the story is, what the whole story is.
But I stand by what I said when I said
judges shouldn't be activists, And I don't know if bail

(01:33:22):
should ever be lowered, especially when you have a dead body.
You know, you have someone who brought a weapon to
a track meet and used it. Whether he was a
good kid before that or not, you know, he still
brought a weapon to a track meet. And you know,
if it was a shoving match, if it was if
it was a fight that happened, you still have someone

(01:33:43):
who died. You still have a kid who didn't get
to get home with his parents. So you know, I
don't think the judge should have lord bale. I don't,
you know. But uh, you know, like I said, let's
see what happens with this, and let's see what the
whole story is before we all start getting emotional about it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
Yeah, and if if you look at the media, at
least as I look at the media coverage on this,
it certainly is apparent to me would.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
Higher part to demonize Austin Metcalf. You know, they they've
been handling Carmelo Anthony from what I've seen with kid gloves.
But like I said, You've got dness for me from
both sides because this is this has definitely been a
racially charged event. I made the point on another interview

(01:34:28):
where I said, but the biggest tragedy of all is
that if both kids have been black, this, this wouldn't
been covered. This just would have been another This just
would have been another incident that happens. So I mean,
you're looking at, you know, two families now whose lives
will be changed for the rest of their lives now,

(01:34:49):
and you're looking at two students who their lives will
be changed. And you're looking at one student who he's
not gonna have life. You know, you're looking at another
student who is going to pay the consequences for what
he did. And he made a bad decision one day
and he's gonna pay for it. So you know, like
I said, I want I want to see how the
trial holds out. I want to see what stats come out.

(01:35:10):
I want to see what happens. And but you know,
I say that both sides, this is not the hill
to die on. This is not the hill now to
get out, you know, the worst to put the worst
of of of our representation, of our representation and our
representatives in front. So you know, like I said, just
let's see what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
Yeah, the one thing you post about quite frequently is
is your daughter and the way you are trying to
raise her and bring her up and you know, have
the have the values that you have and the things
that you want to be instilled in her. And it's
amazing to me how much constant criticism that people have
because of the way you talk about It's obviously obviously

(01:35:51):
how much you love her and care about her, but
it's amazing to me the amount of criticism that people
have when you talk about the things that you think
that are important and the way that she ought to
be brought up. I just I just you know, again,
where do people get off thinking that they have, uh,
you know, some some some right of way to come

(01:36:13):
at you for talking about the way you want to
raise your daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:36:18):
Well, that's that's why you know what I probably say it. Yes,
I am indoctrinating my daughter. It's not it's not the
teacher's job at her school to indoctrinate her. It's not
the teacher's job at her school to try to, you know,
move her in one direction or another. No, I'm her parents,
between my wife and I to to raise her up

(01:36:39):
the way we think she should be brought up, raise
her up with our values. Yes, I'm one hundred percent
saying that. Absolutely, that's that's what we're doing. You know.
We we have a chance to send her to a
Christian academy and their values reflect ours. And yes, we're
going to do everything we can just try to get
her into the school because we like to brought up

(01:37:00):
a certain way. And when people go, well, you know,
you're doctoring her. Yeah, well yeah, that that's our job
as parents, you know, it's not is that our job
to just kind of just leave her out there and
be wild. No, we want her to to reflect what
we what we what we uh, what we follow. So
you know, I say, under shamedly, yeah, yeah, I'm one

(01:37:22):
hundred percent doing that. And if you have a problem
with that, there is literally nothing you can do about it.
So cry more.

Speaker 1 (01:37:28):
Well, yeah, you're you're leading by example and uh and
I think that, uh, you know, that's probably one of
the very best things you can do. And uh, if
more people were following you and looking at what you did,
I think, you know this, the world in general would
be a better place. So Zeke, if people want to
follow you, I know I'm following you on X. Where
else can people find you on? On social media?

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
You can find me at Zeke Arkham z E E
k A r k H A m over on X
and over on Instagram and I invade the TikTok world
just like Trump did. But I'm over there as real
Zeke Oukham, so yeah, you can find me. I'm branching
out into a third social media site. So yeah, that's

(01:38:13):
all my social media.

Speaker 1 (01:38:14):
Real Zeke Arkham on the TikTok. Zeke, I appreciate the
time as always, man. Always great to have you on.

five KRC the talk.

Speaker 1 (01:39:36):
Station fifty five krc DE Talk Station, Dan Carroll till
nine this morning. My buddy Jim fab from the Conservative
Caucus coming up after the news at the top of
the hour, and I read earlier a piece about a

(01:39:58):
little breakdown of the way the NGOs were and found
another piece while I was getting ready for the show
today ABOUTI DEI research in universities, and it was written
by Casey Ryan at the at the Dally Caller and
Casey Ryan writes with President Trump and his administration cutting

(01:40:20):
federal funding from major universities for promoting diversity, equality inclusion initiatives,
and allowing anti semitism in some Americans, especially students, may
be concerned with how this affects their education. Despite their concerns,
the situation is not as dire as it appears. Impacted
universities have not exactly been clear or completely honest about

(01:40:41):
the grants that they lost. Trump administration at first pause
four hundred million in federal funding from Columbia last month.
That was followed in April by the administration pausing over
a billion to Cornell, seven hundred and ninety million to
Northwestern University, five hundred and ten million to Brown. The
US Department of Health and Human Services says data publicly

(01:41:02):
available on many of the grants that were eliminated. These
terminated grants exposed just how wasteful the universities were with
taxpayer dollars. Columbia University, for example, wasted nearly forty seven
thousand dollars on personal healthcare networks of transgender and gender
diverse adults after gender affirming surgery, over a million dollars

(01:41:26):
for the university's new Anga Center for Climate Justice, Health
Equity and Community well Being. Again, can anyone explain to
me what any of that means? Climate justice, health equity
and community well being in East Africa, So it's not
even the United States thing. But we spent a million
dollars on that and gave it to Columbia University in

(01:41:50):
East Africa. That's where that center is. Four hundred thousand
dollars to study pride to enhance cancer screening guidelines for
transgender users of gender affirming hormones. These are just a
few of more than the one hundred and sixty terminated
grants listed for Colombia, with a majority based on DEI

(01:42:14):
and radical gender ideology research. But Brown University was just
as bad. Brown University spent nearly one point three million
on examining health comorbidities healthcare utilization disparities among older transgender
and cisgender adults in the United States. I mean, if
that sounds like mumbo jumbo to you, it's because it

(01:42:35):
is seven hundred thousand dollars on intervention to enhance prep
persistence among African American men who have sex with men
and three hundred and fifty thousand dollars on making universal
free of charge anti retroviral therapy for sexual and gender
minority youth in Brazil. Again, more mumbo jumbo, more money laundering,

(01:43:01):
and it goes on and on and on and the again.
This is the kind of stuff that the Trump administration
is saying no to. And we were talking about Harvard
yesterday with their fifty four billion dollar endowment, and they're
complaining about the money that Trumpet administration is withholding from
them because they want to continue to allow anti Semitism

(01:43:26):
to run wild on their campus. Seven fifty five at

The final hour of the fifty five KRC morning show,
Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas, thank you so much
for being here. I'm glad to be here, and Kevin
Gordon will be here tomorrow morning, bright in early five am,
so make sure you are dialed in for that time
to bring in my next guest. Jim faff is the uh,
the main man at the Conservative Caucus. What exactly is

(01:44:15):
your title there, Jim, I had it right there on
the tip of my tongue. But you're like the president
or the you know, the grand Pooba or something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:44:23):
Right, Well, I am the grand Pooba. I'm the president,
and for those Spanish speakers, that's el President and chief
chief bottle washer, right exactly. There's not a dirty bottle
in the place outstanding.

Speaker 1 (01:44:37):
But Jim, it's great, it's great to have you on.
Let me ask you a question this Judge Boseburg. In
your opinion, is this guy a little bit out of
control with you know, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:44:50):
I was gonna say he's entirely out of control. I mean,
you're you know, I'm sure lawyers like to argue about
these things, but when you're when you're talking about a
case with such prominence, where the Supreme Court so fully
rejected your ideas and you have the audacity to do this,

(01:45:11):
it's and it's you're and against the politician. I mean,
it's one thing that you've got some corporate leader, uh
does something wins an appellate court, but there was really
technically something that we're trying to get by with and
whatever you can There are a lot of ways that
you can skin this cap, but that ain't one of them.
When you've got a political situation.

Speaker 1 (01:45:29):
Like this, it's then the Supreme Court also say that
this was not his Uh, he didn't have standing here,
that it was out of his jurisdiction, and that he shouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:45:42):
Yeah, that's exactly right. But see, this is how lawfair works.
You go into technicalities because you have some other deep
motive behind you. The Bible hates this stuff. God hates
this stuff. This is called tipping the scales, you know,
and and have having false balances. That's exactly what Bosberg

(01:46:03):
is doing. It's literally, it's literally a spiritual judgment on
a nation that we countenance this sort of thing, and
we've we've got to actually go against it.

Speaker 1 (01:46:12):
Yeah. I heard a news reporter as I was on
my way into the station this morning, and they were
talking about this Boseburg thing, and and the reporter for
the network was saying that the Trump administration supported all
these you know, all these alleged gang members, all these
MS thirteen gang members to El Salvador without any evidence

(01:46:35):
that they were in the country illegally. What do you
what do you make of that. When you hear news reporters,
alleged news reporters use that term without any evidence, without
presenting any evidence, what does that say to you?

Speaker 4 (01:46:49):
When you hear that, It says to me that it's
entirely political. It says to me that they're not at
all even judging the situation for what it actually is,
and that there's no fairness or truth related to anything
that they think. You know, the wanton disregard for reality

(01:47:10):
and truth in the media and in our course, as
far as it goes with Bozberg and many others, is
a stain upon the way that this country was founded
an imperfect but good people who sought to create a
system that would be fair and honest and then allow people,

(01:47:34):
for whatever good bad are and different decisions that they
made for them to pay the price for that on
their own. But no, we have we're twisting things entirely.
This is literally even well beyond the kind of propagandistic
efforts that you would get out of out of the
Russian media during the Cold War. I mean, just the

(01:47:56):
outrage you knew that they were lying all the time,
you could hear it. They would formulate it in words
that seemed to connect with truth in some way, but
you knew that it was absolutely false.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
And I mean, it's amazing when we.

Speaker 4 (01:48:12):
Watch the once in disregard for truth. Thank goodness, we're
we can now define women so we can get back
to that truth again. But other than that, these people
are outrageous.

Speaker 1 (01:48:24):
Yeah. I was talking earlier this week about and the
media it constantly makes a big deal about Bernie Sanders
and the oligachy tour that he is on, and he's
warning about oligarchy at every turn, and I guess he's
paling around with a Casio Cortes and she's raising millions
of dollars and that's you know, I mean, here we are,

(01:48:44):
we haven't even been in the second Trump administration for
three months yet, and we're supposed to turn our attention
to what's going to happen in twenty twenty eight. Do
we as conservatives have any real reason to be concerned
about Bernie Sanders or a Casio Cortez going around and
pumping up these crowds and you know, with bass Trump
and all the other stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:49:07):
Well, at the moment, no, because Democrats have such low
numbers in the polls, it seems to indicate that the
message is not penetrating. So at the moment, it's not
so bad. But I'll tell you what my worry is.
It's not AOC and Bernie Sanders. My worry is Republicans

(01:49:28):
in Congress. It's like, get off your duff guys, and
go ahead and just pass the Trump agenda, Like just
go for broke.

Speaker 1 (01:49:35):
Just do it one time.

Speaker 4 (01:49:36):
Maybe let's do what everyone wanted us to do, and
then just let's just see how that plays out. And
Republicans have been and not all Republicans in Congress, but
most of them right across the river there we have
a really good one, Thomas Massey. But some of these
guys don't want to do what the American people are
telling them they'd like to do. And this is why
Republicans are so weak in the eyes of people over time,

(01:50:02):
because they throw that away. But this is a supreme
opportunity to give the American people what they're begging for,
what they're yearning for.

Speaker 2 (01:50:10):
This was a mass.

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
Don't don't forget this this and this is a massive
realignment in the electorate this last time around. You had
middle class people, you had union people, you had young
people all going with Donald Trump voting for him and
giving him a majority. Now, let's just understand what a

(01:50:32):
Hispanic too, a biggest movement in Hispanic community. Let's let's
just take a close look at what that really means
and what those people are really concerned about. They're not
concerned about what Bernie Sanders and ALC is talking about.
They're not sitting around saying, I hope Elon Musk doesn't
have my Social Security number, which he doesn't have. They're
don't sitting around worried that Doge wants to cut government services.

(01:50:54):
They're tired of paying for government services. So just take
the message, guys and get the win. But Bernie Sanders
and AFC know they've lost that base and so they're
desperately doing anything they can to get it. So far,
it's not penetrating beyond their ability to get some crowds.

Speaker 1 (01:51:09):
Yeah, I mean, but when you touched on something that
I think is really important, and it has long been
a frustration of mine and others who are conservative that
I know of, but that in Congress, when it comes
time for the rubber to hit the road, so many
that we rely on in Congress to carry out the
agenda wind up sitting on their hands. And when you look,

(01:51:31):
you know, when I look at everything that's going on
with the Trump administration this time around, I can't figure
out why they are choosing to act that way. You know,
we just passed another continuing resolution. You know Trump wants this,
you know, the big beautiful budget resolution bill with all
the different stuff in it. And you know there are

(01:51:51):
things happening in Congress to delay this procedurally and otherwise.
And I don't know why they act like this time
and time and time again, especially this time around, when
it seems there's so much momentum in their favor.

Speaker 4 (01:52:04):
Well, never underestimate how invested a certain group of Republicans
in Congress are to everything that's been going on prior
to this year. That this is a really bad system.
I lived in it for eight nine years with and I.
You know, we had all the lobbyists come to our offices,
the two guys I work for, and then and sometimes

(01:52:27):
then after a while you stop.

Speaker 2 (01:52:28):
Having them coming.

Speaker 4 (01:52:29):
These people are invested in a system that is on
cruise control, where they know that they can go grab
up money here and grab up money there. And I'm
not just talking about the lobbies. So I'm talking to
the people they represent. Like, we've got a system where
major corporations, particularly in the food industry is just a

(01:52:50):
one recent example has been discussed. You know that you've
got big corporations there that do not want to have
any competition from small actors that they've sick cessfully driven
out of their markets. That happens in many industries, banking
and many other places too. It's called regulatory capture where
the corporations really are running what the regulations are through

(01:53:11):
these efforts. And they're Republicans who have been bought into
this system. So that's one of the corrupting factors. And
as you and I have talked about before, I know
I've brought this up with you. I concern myself that
these people who are not independently wealthy that get elected
to Congress because they just want to do something good.
They get that one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars
a year paycheck, and if they ever lose an election,

(01:53:34):
then they got to literally start all over in their
careers because it's really that all consuming and overwhelming of
job to do. You can give no attention to your career.
Why you're a congressman. So they're scared about what will
happen if they lose, and they're setting up that three
hundred and four hundred thousand dollars a year lobbying job literally,
and there's about a third of people that roll off
of Congress that go into jobs like this. And this

(01:53:57):
is the other thing. So you don't want to vote
wrong because you at that lobbying firm.

Speaker 1 (01:54:01):
To hire you at.

Speaker 4 (01:54:02):
They're of other things too.

Speaker 1 (01:54:04):
What's gonna happen on the other side, Jim Faffs, stay
right there. We got to work in a quick break
and we will continue on with Jim faff on the
other side of this on fifty five KRC the talk stations.
Then I first wanting weather forecast, clear skys this morning,
mostly sunny today, some scouted showers later on a high
sixty five, partley cloudy over night, every night little fifty

(01:54:25):

a high of seventy nine. It is forty at fifty

Locklub North Bend fourth seventy one, running heavy from Grand

delay between Florence and downtown. Chuck Ingram on fifty five

(01:54:58):
KRC Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (01:55:09):
Fifty five KRZ eight twenty on this Thursday morning, Dan
Carroll in for Brian Thomas. We continue our conversation with
Jim Paff of the Conservative Caucus, and Jim a couple
of polls that I'm looking at here. One is an
Erasmussen poll shows voters overwhelmingly support the idea of illegal
aliens not voting in US elections. And then I look

(01:55:32):
at this other poll that shows Trump's approval rating at
fifty four percent, now the highest since he's been in office,
since he was sworn in back in January. And as
I see it, I see a direct correlation between these
two things. That Trump ran on an agenda, he is
doing everything he can to enact that agenda, and the
American people so far at this point, approve of just

(01:55:55):
about everything that's been going on.

Speaker 4 (01:56:00):
There is no disconnection between the American people and Donald Trump.
That had built up so politically emotionally in the mindset
of the American people. Donald Trump really still resonates with people.
And by the way, it's anything politics, as you know,

(01:56:21):
can change overnight. Things can go bad at any time.
But when politicians who get elected by us do what
we ask them to do, they respond positively. And fortunately
for Republicans in Congress so far, they see Donald Trump
performing because if they were paying close attention to what
Republicans were doing in Congress, they might have a different opinion.

(01:56:46):
And we've had that many times, like we got that
with other Republican presidents. George W. Bush in my mind,
really you know, he was able to get re elected
great fine, but by the end of his term, people
were so disgusted for the war, over the way that
even the economy was running. They rejected him in two
thousand and six because of this, by giving Democrats Congress.

(01:57:10):
If Republicans are in Congress are not careful and they've
not been absolutely horrible, I want to give him credit
for that. They got the nominee through and they're still
pushing some of those through that linger the House has
actually been better in the Senate in a way, but
if they don't really press this agenda and potify what
Donald Trump is doing, they may have a tough run

(01:57:33):
next year. Now that seems hard to believe because the
other polls are that Democrats are at twenty one percent
approval rating, you know, but Republicans are only a little
bit above that at thirty nine percent. So this is
a precarious political tightrope that these politicians walk, and they
need to do what the Americans want them to do,
what Americans want.

Speaker 2 (01:57:52):
Them to do.

Speaker 1 (01:57:53):
Yeah, but when they to my way of thinking, it's
pretty easy to look at the example that Trump is
setting that whatever the issue is, you don't run from it,
you don't hide from it. He puts out his people.
I mean every weekend, I see jd Vance, I see
Scott Descent, I see Lutnik, I see Pam BONDI I
see Christy Nome of Homeland Security. I see them on

(01:58:15):
all the Sunday shows. And it doesn't matter ABC, NBC, CBS,
They're on all the Sunday shows, CNN, all the rest
of it. Every time that you turn around, you've got
Marco Rubio who is schooling, absolutely schooling the media on
different issues. And so don't run from it, don't hide
from you know something that the media doesn't like and

(01:58:37):
they want to throw it back in your face. Own it,
double down on it. Explain to the American people what
your position is and why you're doing what you are doing.
I don't know why it is so hard for you know,
when we talk about those in Congress, to look at
the example that Trump is setting, and all you have
to do is follow that example, and I think the
results will speak for themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:58:59):
Well, actually it will.

Speaker 4 (01:59:00):
And this speaks to the leadership of Donald Trump. Though ultimately,
because none of you know who a president chooses in
their cabinet, even for their vice president. Although I'm a
big fan of Jada Vance, those people aren't really the
ones that directly got elected. I mean Jade Vance maybe
slightly more. But Donald Trump has been through the gauntlet

(01:59:20):
and he's been fearless about facing that gauntlet. And it's
proof and it took no little time for it to
be overwhelming in an electoral sense. Actually I think it
was overwhelming in twenty twenty, but we won't readjudicate that.
But the American people appreciate leadership when it's done in
a way that is not corrupt and tried to twist them.

(01:59:43):
The American people pick up when politicians are trying to
put their arms behind their back and make them say uncle.
Donald Trump doesn't do that to the American people. He
respects the American people, and he did that by picking
great people. This time. He learned everything that he needed
to learn first his first administration, and he applied that
and more in this one. That's why you're seeing that now.

(02:00:07):
Republicans need to learn from the leadership aspect of Donald
Trump and the fearlessness and courage aspect of Donald Trump,
because the American people will run with you if you'll
run with them. And even though you had the entire
bureaucracy in three letter agencies and lawfair coming against him,
he was still running with the American people. They rewarded

(02:00:30):
him at the polls, and they'll reward any politician at
the polls that will do what they're wanting and understand
it well.

Speaker 1 (02:00:36):
Well, Jim, as usual, our time flies right by before
I let you go, though. You have an event coming
up on April twenty third that features Rod Magloyovitch of
all people, and tell us about that event and if
people want to find out about it. What do they
do about that?

Speaker 4 (02:00:54):
Well, it's up in Chicago at the Drake Oakbrook on
April twenty third. As you say, Boivin, who's just a
passionate supporter of Donald Trump and a friend of mine.
We just have him speaking in Chicago right his.

Speaker 1 (02:01:08):
Townsor that's right.

Speaker 4 (02:01:11):
But we've also got George Papadopolis will be there as
well too, who's also a good friend. And then some
folks locally have been fighting against this trans bathroom and
locker room issue that have just made amazing progress. And
so we're gonna we're celebrating freedom. The people can go
to Theconservativecaucus dot org if they have some interest in

(02:01:32):
that or our organization, and of course if they just
want to be effective in their community on boots on
the ground action just to overturn this what stupid politicians do,
they can go to the Conservative Caucus dot org and
just sign up at the top right there, get involved,
and we've got lots of training and so forth available
to people if they want to figure out how to
be effective where they are at all.

Speaker 1 (02:01:53):
Right, Jim Faff, so great talking to you and always
great having you, and I always appreciate the time, my friend,
and uh, take care of yourself and hopefully we'll get
to do it again before too long.

Speaker 4 (02:02:03):
Thanks Dan, you're a good friend. Appreciate it all right.

get I get my times mixed up, but I've had
that guy on a number of times and he's just
just terrific, and I want to thank him for his
time this morning. Always great to have him on. Gavin
some who will no doubt run for president and probably
this next election cycle, has spent another two point eight

(02:04:08):
billion dollars to bail out the Medicaid program medical which
he opened up to all the illegals and you know,
all the if you're illegal, come to California, free medical care.
Two point eight billion. Newsom had requested another loan of
three point four billion to cover the program's six point
two billion dollar deficit six point two billion dollars. The

(02:04:35):
new funding will cover only medical expenses for fifteen million beneficiaries,
including one point six million illegals, until June, so this
is a short term band aid for what's happening in California.
The number of illegals living in California is estimated to
be about three million, according to Department of Homeland Security,

(02:05:00):
suggesting that over half were receiving free health care. Additionally,
the cost of covering them has increased from a projected
six billion dollars to eight point four billion for fiscal
twenty four to twenty five. The cost will fall slightly
for the next fiscal year to seven point four. Trump's

(02:05:22):
deportations could also significantly reduce that cost. So there you go.
The Trumpster is helping out our friends in California getting
some of the illegals out of there. Newsom has previously
boasted the deep blue state could provide healthcare for everyone,
regardless of their immigration status. With these new investments, California

(02:05:44):
will become the first st aid to achieve universal access
to health care coverage. Hecent We're investing California's historic surplus
to accomplish transformative changes we've long dream of. Really health
care for every illegal that enters the state, and just
I mean, I talk about these things that the newsom

(02:06:06):
does when I get the chance, because I just want
people to remember that that when this guy runs for president,
which I have no doubt that he will, we will
be inundated by national media telling us how great, you know,
how young, how vibrant this guy is talking about how

(02:06:26):
all the great things he did for California. I mean,
to my way of thinking, this is right up there
with Kamala Harris bragging about providing free sex change operations
for inmates in the California penal system. How well did
that work for her? Not very well at all. Eight
thirty six fifty five KRC, the talk.

Speaker 10 (02:06:48):
Station, fifty five KRC.

Speaker 1 (02:06:55):
Fifty five KRC the talk STATIONNAKE forty, got Marine on
the line. I want to hear from Maureen wants to
talk about DEI universities, and I just want to finish
up the piece I was reading earlier, talking about Brown
and Northwestern and these Ivy League schools. But the piece
I was reading is in the Daily Caller written by

(02:07:18):
Casey Ryan, and Casey Ryan writes about deis depressing as
it sounds DEI programs are to be expected these days
from Ivy League universities. They were captured by left wing
ideologies decades ago. But what is surprising is the number
of grants that Trump administration has also eliminated from universities

(02:07:38):
in red states. In one example, the University of Mississippi
spent thirty five thousand dollars on cross sex steroid therapy
and cardiovascular risk in the transgender female. The University of
Arkansas spent two million dollars to study universal basic income
and structural racism in the South. University of Central Florida

(02:08:01):
spent four hundred and ten thousand dollars to research facilitators
of and barriers to healthcare utilization among racially and ethnically
diverse transgender and gender non binary young adults. Anyone want
to sean you want to try and diagram that sentence?

(02:08:23):
I mean, you listen to these things? I mean just
and the word again, the only word I can come
up with on this is mumbo jumbo. They want to
research Let me try this one more time. They want
to research facilitators of and barriers to healthcare utilization among
racially and ethnically diverse transgender and gender non binary young adults.

(02:08:45):
Emery University spent one point seven million building community and
research engagement among sexual and gender minority older adults at
risk for Alzheimer's and related dementias. Nevada Las Vegas spend
six on a fifty grand studying Alzheimer's disease and older
transgend I mean all this transgender, this transgender that it

(02:09:08):
is beyond ridiculous. And there are a number of corporations
that have ditched these programs. Universities have too, and now
at the funding being called off, hopefully we are seeing
the last throws of this ridiculous idea. Hi, Maureen, you're
on fifty five KRC. How are you this morning?

Speaker 3 (02:09:27):
A good thing? Thanks for taking my call. In relation
to the DEI, there was a segment on Fox News
about a couple of weeks ago, and it was entitled
Vanderbilt Medical Centers hiding DEI resources behind password protected web page.
And there's a nonprofit conservative group called Consumer Research and
they unveiled a campaign and it's titled again, what is

(02:09:50):
Vanderbilt Medical Center hiding? And it says that they are
frantically trying to conceal its radical policies by password protecting
and deleting web pages, highlighting its commitment to DEI in
climate activism. And I have a personal experience with Vanderbilt University.
A very close relative who was in her fifth year

(02:10:11):
at Vanderbilt. She was required to get the vaccine even
though she had been hospitalized at Vanderbilt University for anaphylaxis.
And she has a hyper immune response to you know,
certain things, very highly allergic, and so we fought for
her to not get this vaccine through a medical exempt Vanderbilt.
They wouldn't send any information from her medical records in

(02:10:35):
that regard, I couldn't use it to fight the vaccine.
While her individual doctor said, oh you know, I will
send a letter. She sent a letter, they still denied it.
I fought it to the nail. I won that battle.
I won't go into detail how I want it, but
she lives healthy to this day because of being able
to fight that. But anyway, it's interesting because when it

(02:10:57):
came time for her graduation, the guests speaks at graduation
with Anthony Fauci. So I looked into the board. Yeah yeah,
So interestingly enough, I have a little bits abound to
pick even though she's got a great education. But they
are hiding the DEI passwords, you know, through a protective password.

Speaker 1 (02:11:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:11:19):
Well, and Kennedy Junior is looking into it, you know what,
we're investigation.

Speaker 1 (02:11:24):
That does not surprise me at all. I mean, even
though I don't have a lot of knowledge specifically about
this particular issue. But it was a couple of years
ago that Vanderbilt University was exposed for all these transgender
surgeries that they were doing on children. And I remember
seeing the video of the head of the hospital there

(02:11:45):
telling the doctors that if you disagree with this and
you need to go find another place to work. And
the only thing they were concerned about was the money
that they were bringing in. You know, these these surgeries
on kids, which thankfully are being brought to a grinding
halt here in the United States. But these surgeries and
these therapies on kids turned them into lifelong patients. And

(02:12:09):
the you know, the the university was just just I mean,
they really they did it to themselves because the video
of the conference they were having, what these doctors got
out and they were talking about the money they can earn,
how much they can charge the patients, and that the
doctors need to get on board with this if they
want to continue working there.

Speaker 10 (02:12:29):
Oh, I have not heard that, go back.

Speaker 1 (02:12:32):
And look it up.

Speaker 2 (02:12:33):
It was.

Speaker 1 (02:12:34):
I think it was. It was a huge milestone and
a turning point for the you know, for the for
you know, the beginning of the end of this transgender
nonsense that we got so deeply involved with here in
the United States. But Maureen, I appreciate you listen, and
I appreciate the phone call this morning.

Speaker 3 (02:12:53):
Thanks Dan.

Speaker 1 (02:12:54):
All right, thank you very much, Mareen. Eight forty six.
We'll get to a quick break on fifty five KRC,
The Talks fifty five the talk station. Get ready for
fifty five KRC, the talk station, getting ready to wrap

(02:13:17):
things up. I'm Dan Carroll. Thank you so much for
being here. Sean McMahon, thank you for everything. And it's
been a fun week. Kevin Gordon gets to sit here tomorrow,
so I always love my chance to be here at
fifty five KRC. Sean McMahon, have you seen Bill Belichick's girlfriend. Yeah,
she's like my age, she's your age, twenty four years old.
He's going to be going to frat parties at UNC.

(02:13:40):
He's a head coach now, yeah, at North Carolina. Did
you know. Her name is Jordan Hudson. She's twenty four
years old. She is going to be competing in the
Miss USA pageant next month in Portland, Maine.

Speaker 9 (02:13:56):
Man, how about Belichick's got himself? Said yeah and all.
So in the competition is an individual named Isabelle Saint Cyr,
a twenty four year old male who identifies as female,
is also set to compete in the Miss Main USA
pageant at the same time. So you've got the real woman,

(02:14:18):
Belichick's girlfriend against this dude who claims to.

Speaker 1 (02:14:21):
Be a woman. Says he's a little nervous going to
compete in the beauty pageant. He says, did not in
competition make a political statement. I'm just to win it
because I love pageants and I just happened to be trans,
and so we're going to see I guess say. You know,
I've heard tell of trans individuals winning these competitions before.

(02:14:45):
But you know, Bill Belichick made a big splash during
one of the events last year where he showed up
I think it was the SB Awards, and he showed
up with his girlfriend who was just a few years
his junior. He's running around with her. She's going to
be in the miss Main competition. There are some photos

(02:15:07):
I found this piece on Breitbart. There are some photos
of this individual that she'll be competing against. And if
she doesn't beat or at least finish ahead of this
other dude, then something in Maine is very seriously wrong.
And so God bless Bill Belichick. And if he can

(02:15:29):
get it done hanging out with her, I say more
power to him. Maybe one of my favorite stories that
I saw this week, a homeless guy in California goes
into a liquor store. Sounds like the beginning of a
bad joke, but he goes into the liquor store, gets
a scratch off ticket and hits the jackpot. Guy was

(02:15:51):
so excited, jumping up and down. He says, is this real?
So the manager of the store grabs a ticket, takes
it over to the machine, and he says, dude, he says,
you hit the jackpot, and the guy's jumping up and down,
jumping up and down. He says, he says, I just
want one hundred thousand dollars and the guy says, no, bro,

(02:16:11):
you want a million dollars. Hit for a million. Homeless guy,
hit for a million dollars. He says, guess what, I'm
not homeless anymore. They had to go to Fresno to
to cash the ticket, and the guy who owns a
liquor store said, I'm going to drive you there. And
he said, you know, he's telling the guy, look, you

(02:16:33):
got to look out for this thing. You got to
take care of this ticket. He said, I'm going to
drive you there. The lottery winner says he plans to
purchase a home, a car, invest some of it, put
some savings aside. A spokesperson for the California Lottery, of
course about you know, if it's a million dollars, you
can you can figure about half of that is going

(02:16:53):
to be gone in taxes. But the spokesperson for the
lottery says there's a very thorough vetting process before warding
the prize money. They want to ensure that they are
giving it to the right person, which in this case,
I don't know how it can be mistaken. The guy
scratches off the ticket right there in front of the
store owner the manager. They say it can take months

(02:17:15):
and according to CNN, involves an interview with the winner
to check and see if the person knows that state
any money and a few other factors. How about that
So California. Great story there, homeless dude hits a million
dollar winner and says, guess what, I'm not homeless anymore.
That is it for me. Thank you so much for listening,

(02:17:36):
Have a great Thursday, a great Friday, and a great weekend,
and we will see you on down the road. Sean McMahon,
thank you for everything this week and until next time,
take care of yourself and we will see you down
the road. On fifty five KRCV talkstation
