Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
At fifty five k r C the talk stations every Wednesday, says, yeah,

(00:33):
well the dude may abide, I quite often do not.
And Brian Thomas, host of the Drive fifty five KRC Mornings,
you appreciate you tuning in this morning. I hope you
can stick around all morning. Got some good guests lined
up thanks to executive producer Joe Strekker, who lines up casts.
It being Wednesday, of course, the UH always looking forward
to talking with Jack add and we'll do that at
seven o five as we do every Wednesday. The big

(00:53):
picture with Jack Atherden's and the brilliance of Jack Otherden
just amazing his sight. Today Jack will be discussing big
pharma lobbyists on the heels of Trump's executive order to
try to rein in the cost of prescription drugs most
Favored Nation status, meaning if some other country is buying

(01:14):
them for less money than that's the price that we're
going to pay for them. How that's going to play out.
I presume that the pharmaceutical industry is going to file
a lawsuit or someone's going to file lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
But you know.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
The brilliance of just doing that, and I've been sort
of saying out loud, what are the Democrats going to
say in response to that? And the only argument that
I've heard against that particular move by the Trump administration
is that it's going to stop innovation. That the fact
that you and I are shouldering the burden of well
providing massive profits to the pharmaceutical industry allows them to

(01:50):
do research and development, which, of course it does. Profit
funds research and development, just like lower taxes on business
and industry, and they, you know, put money back in
the business and industry and hire more people. And I'm
in favor of that reality. But in the global reality
of pharmaceuticals, isn't it sort of strange that you and
I are paying like ten times more for one drug

(02:13):
than maybe Canada is How is it that Canada gets
their pharmaceuticals for a lot less money. That's because the evil,
wealthy American people are paying so much more for the pharmaceuticals.
Also a lot of government involvement, of course, Medicare, Medicaid
pricing structures, and it's just it's a complicated web of insanity.

(02:38):
So I'm not sure what Jack's going to be where
Jack's going to be on this, but it's going to
be an interesting conversation, of course, it always is. His
commentary is just remarkable. So seven oh five for Jack,
follow by Donovan O'Neil for Americans for Prosperity. I don't
know how you feel about this one. It's a The
discussion is about protecting private property rights, and we'll be

(03:02):
discussing with Donovan House built one oh nine and Center
Built one o four here in the state of Ohio,
which argues that Ohioan should be free to use their
property without unnecessary government interference regarding restrictions on short term rentals,
which AFP argues red tape rather than reason regulation. These

(03:25):
two bills, they claim, help restore the principle that individuals,
not government, should control how the properties use, which as
a little old libertarian I truly believe. But when it
comes to your neighborhood, and I presume this deals with
sort of short term rentals like Airbnb, which have caused
problems for many people many neighborhoods. You get one neighbor

(03:47):
who's renting their house out of a regular basis Airbnb, and
you get these different influx of people not residents in
your neighborhood, maybe not caring about you or the noise
issues and maybe speeding in a residential neighborhood. Bottom line,
no affiliation or connection with your neighborhood. And I know

(04:10):
that a lot of neighborhoods have had problems with this
kind of thing going on. So what level of control
can your neighborhood offer with regard to these rentals. So
it's I fully appreciate the concerns that exist with neighbors
and their problems with regular rentals of homes and apartments,

(04:33):
but I also as a believer in free proper property
rights and your ability to control what goes on in
your property, kind of running headlong into each other on
this one. So I'll be interested in seeing what donovd
Neil has to say about that. Maybe you've got something
to say about it, or where do you stand on it?
Feel free to call on any topic. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three

(04:53):
Taco with ton Fi fifty on AT and T phones.
That's at seven thirty with Donovan Yay for the eight
o'clock hour. I love when Congressman Massy comes on before
Judge Ennedapouloton of Congressman Massy on reconciliation and out of
control spending, which the Republicans don't seem to have any
concern whatsoever about. It's like Speaker Johnson coming out against
this massive reconciliation bill because it doesn't cut enough. We're

(05:16):
still spending at COVID nineteen levels. Why and this whole
argument about the met Oh my god, cutch the medicaid cuts,
the medicaid. Why is an able bodied adult man hooked
up in the biblical court of medicaid when he could
be working and I'm just picking on men women same thing?

(05:37):
Why is that? Why do we justify that. I thought
this was a a sort of a program of last
resort for folks on life's margins, and I don't have
any problem necessary with that conceptually, but it's been expanded to,
you know, coddle and embrace people who refuse to get
off their butts and go out and work. There are

(05:58):
plenty of jobs out there. Talk regularly about the trades.
Oh my god. There's so many career opportunities, not just jobs.
Career opportunities. You don't have to go to a four
year college and get indoctrinated into the left wing ideology.
No trade school, and a lot of them are paid
for that you can earn while you learn construction, HVAC, electricians, plumbers.

(06:28):
I mean, you can go down the whole list. Those
are in high demand and they're decent salaries that you
can support a family on. Why are you hooked up
to the bubiblical court of government in your medicaid program
when you are capable of learning a trade jeez, And
you think the world is coming to an end when
the Republicans are at least taking some steps to require
a work obligation, hell, even community service will work under

(06:52):
the current proposals coming to of the Republicans in DC,
which you know, say what you want. At least it
requires someone to not sit there in front of the
tube or the laptop or the game console and go
out and participate in society. What a minimum requirement to
get you? And I mean we, the American taxpayers, paying

(07:14):
for your medical coverage through a massive, bloated government program
that's on margin, it's on a well struggling financially like
all the social welfare safety net programs are anyway. So
congressomassi on that and so much more in the Reconciliation
and the out of control spending, free speech related bills,

(07:35):
the deep fake porn ability to vote it against, and
he says, let's get out of the World Trade Organization.
Those with congressom Massi at eight oh five, follow by
Judge Ennen of Poultana. What if freedom is suspended? He's
talking about habeas corpus and Trump's the rumblings that Trump
may suspend the rid of habeas corpus, which is something
I'm against. You know, habeas corpus the government arrests you

(08:01):
and puts you in jail. A rind of habeas corpus
requires the government to show up and present evidence on
exactly why you are being held. What are the charges,
what are the facts that require this person to be
locked up? It seems basic and simplistic. Of course, our
founding fathers had to deal with that when the Brits
were rounding people up and locking them up for no

(08:25):
reason whatsoever under the law. It's an important component in our
constitution and the idea that you would suspend it for
whatever reason it requires congressional action from my standpoint, and
I think that's the judge's position as well. But you know,
this is one of those areas where Trump maybe goes
a little bit too far. I think it's, you know,
akin to this, Why would you accept the Katari jet

(08:47):
knowing full well that it's going to provide massive ammunition
for your political foes to talk about giving gifts and
you know the favors. And I know the Trump administration
has a good argument said no, no, no, I'm not
taking it being given to the Department of the Defense
or whatever. But why go down that road, Why bother
four hundred million dollar jet? Why take it? Cutter is

(09:10):
not exactly a buddy buddy friend of ours either, so
you know, they're just areas that It's almost like he
wants to invite this, this argument, this and presented the
left with some opportunity to scream and wail and gnash teeth.
I say, don't don't give him that. It's not worth it.
And I think the RID is just saying out loud
that we're considering behind the scenes, we're looking into the

(09:32):
suspension of the rid of Habeas corpus. It's such a
valuable and important component of our law. It's part of
the fabric of our society. I think of you know,
Kafka's the trial if you've never read it. It's nightmarish.
You know, guys, just is drugged through a legal system
without ever being told why he is being drugged through
the legal system. That's the point of habeas corpus. You

(09:57):
people out there that are upset about the Jason six
protesters being locked up and held without bail, you know,
it's a form of it. At least though the government
can say, here, we have evidence that this person committed
a crime. Now, whether it was worthy of them being
held without bail, that's a different discussion, But at least
they had to show that there was evidence that a

(10:18):
crime had been committed. So I anyhow, that one just
rubbed me the wrong way. And I'm not against Trump,
the Trump administration. I think we're getting some valuable we're
reaping some valuable progress as a consequence of his reelection.
But I don't know why they tread into these very

(10:40):
delicate areas where there's probably little likelihood, and I at
least with Habus corpus, that they would be on firm
legal ground and creating an uproar among a lot of
people within the population just doesn't seem to be a
worthy endeavor. My standpoint may not be yours. Feel free
to disagree. Give me a call if you like. Five one, three, seven,

(11:01):
nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight to
two three. Talk and maybe pause, exhale, Engage in some contemplation,
some meditation, engage in prayer. Great place to do that
Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Montgomery. It is absolutely a gorgeous place.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Time for your colonoscopy on a Wednesday, Happy.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Wednesday to you. Feel free to call five one three
seven fifty five eight hundred eighty two to three talk
or a pound five fifty on eighteen T phones. Reminder
fifty five Carcy dot com get the podcast page and
I recommend you reading Decivilizing of America. It's a column
I read yesterday. It's a it's a a editorial by
Victor Davis Hansen, and it is it's a real eye opener,

(12:39):
kind of talks about all the areas in our society
that have been eroded by these left wing ideologies, and
obviously it's all designed to undermine the solidity, the strength,
the unity of the American people, generally speaking, watering down
this and eroding that. A real eye opener again, Decivilizing
of America. The columns link right there. Thank you Joe

(13:00):
Tricker for adding that. Also the Inside Scoop with Bradley J.
We talked yesterday with Bradley J. From Breitbart, Daniel Davis
deep dive on the current situation uk are between Ukraine
and Russia as well as Pakistan and India, so some
good stuff over there. I enjoyed the show yesterday. I
hope you did too. Going back to the the the

(13:20):
Reconciliation Bill, which we'll be talking about with Congressman Massy
coming up at eight oh five. And I love this.
It's a Wall Street Journal article talking about the details
of the mega bill, the big beautiful bill. I laugh
every time I read that. It's always referred to. It's
like when you talked to you about Elon Musk and

(13:43):
billionaire Elon Musk, big beautiful bill, then you go into
the details because Trump referred to it as that. Anyway,
with regard to the Medicaid cuts cuts, it's truly just
a work requirement. Dozens of protesters, many in wheelchairs, crowd
of the hallways outside of the House Energy and Commerce
committed to protest per post cuts to the Medicaid program. Wheelchairs.

(14:07):
Don't think that they're gonna be caught up in the
cuts if you're in a wheelchair because you're disabled. They're
not talking about a work requirement for folks who are disabled,
mothers with really young children. And I mean, anyhow, but dozens,
oh my god, the world's coming on glued. Dozens showed up.
You can get dozens of people to show up for

(14:28):
literally anything. You can launch a GoFundMe site for literally anything,
even a murderer. Republicans have proposed raining in the program,
establishing work requirements and more frequent eligibility checks. That's like
to get rid of fraud, waste, and abuse. We're not
gonna do it once a year, these eligibility checks, We're

(14:49):
gonna do them twice a year. Is that really a
problem for people? Doesn't that show a measure of greater
responsibility for your taxpayer dollars that we're going to check
up on the eligibility of these particular Medicaid recipients. Doesn't
it further strengthen the program for those who are truly
in need of Medicaid by well chucking people off Medicaid

(15:12):
who are no longer eligible. And you're going to protest that.
The proposals are trying to reduce Medicaid spending by six
hundred and twenty five billion over ten years. Some have
warned the perils of cutting healthcare spending too deeply, potentially

(15:36):
costing them the majority in the twenty twenty six midterms.
It's written, see and that's where the problem is with.
Too many people in elected capacity are worried about keeping
their phony, blooney jobs and not doing what's right for
the American people. Others are saying it's missing a prime
opportunity to write the country's fiscal ship. And that's the
category I'm in.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
It's chip Roy. He pointed out the provision requiring Medicaid
eligibility checks every six months doesn't even take effect in
the proposal until twenty twenty nine, after Trump's out of office.
Not exactly an exhibition of may I be indelicate? Stones
is it? Well, we'll just eligibility Why not start it

(16:20):
next year or even this year? What's the problem with that?
Now we're gonna have a kick in at twenty twenty nine.
Jip Roy also complained the tax credits for producing energy
for renewable sources such as wind and solar power, which
they are endeavoring to cut, which I applaud would be
phased out instead of eliminated right off the bat. Again,

(16:42):
why do you take so long to implement something that
we are clamoring for, at least on the Republican side
of the ledger And I think many independents, these green boondoggles,
these Green New Deal programs, doing nothing but lining the
pockets of well connected gris. Green energy suppliers are people

(17:02):
affiliated are associated with green energy. I mean go back.
I mean all the way to the Bomba administration with
all these hand picked companies like Solender and A one
twenty three I think was the name of it, and
they went bankrupt. They got huge fat infusions of taxpayer
cash and then disappeared overnight. Man, they lack spines. Like

(17:30):
I said yesterday, rip the band aid off, get it done,
get it done right now, and save us from ourselves.
We are a sinking ship from a fiscal perspective, and
the Republicans do not show any spine or backbone in
this sort of piecemeal halfway phasing in or kicking it

(17:53):
down the road quote unquote cuts to government spending five
twenty five ffty five cars to detalk station. I got
my lawnmower back yesterday. Bud Herbert delivered it. It's fully serviced.
The thing look brand new. And I'm telling you, I
cut the grass yesterday after it got returned, and it
just it's an amazing when you have your blade sharp.
And it actually adjusted the idle too, so it idles

(18:16):
a little bit higher, so it had a little more
cutting capacity. Anyway, Service Bud Herbert services everything they sell.
What they sell is only the finest lawn equipment out there.
This is fifth generation family and a operator. The name
is on the building Bud Herbert Motors. You're dealing with
a Herbert family member. When you call them, they will

(18:36):
get you in the right piece of lawn equipment. Whether
you're looking for like a compact utility tractor, you want
a big farm tractor, they got those two. Maybe you
want a push more like mine. Honda professional level powered
walk behind mower. Didn't qualify that because my mom thinks
that I was telling people I had one of those
old school rotary motors that didn't power. No, it's a

(18:57):
Honda powered professional quality push mower. Love that thing. It
works like a workhorse, and they told me it was
the last one I ever need to buy my entire life.
That's quality right there and again neat service from time
to time. I had the oil chains of blade sharpens
and they honed that. They posh that thing up. It
looks like very new, so it'll be delivered to your door.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
A series of events. The most important event.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
It's five thirty any very happy Wednesday to you five
one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
eight two to three talk found five fifty on the
AT and T phones. Regular listeners might expect me to
be taking a phone call right now from Tom, who's
disappeared again. Someone do a welfare check over at Tom's house.

(20:06):
He was calling regularly again after having a shift change,
and he's disappeared on us again. I'm not quite sure
what's going on. That's okay, you can call enjoy hearing
from the listeners, regardless. I do have local stories to
go on in And of course this has been a
topic of discussion among sports fans and baseball enthusiasts and

(20:27):
for a long time, and people with a concern over ethics.
ME major League Baseball removed Pete Rose, as well as
sixteen under sixteen other dead individuals from the permanently ineligible list.
That happened yesterday. According to Commissioner Rob Manford in the announcement,
of course, Pete Rose died last September. He was eighty three.

(20:51):
Never did make it in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
In this removal from the permanently disabled Ineligible list doesn't
necessarily mean he's going to be admitted, but according to
the Hall of Fames Board of Directors, which adopted a
rule that those on MLB permanently Ineligible list could never
be considered for election into the Hall, the Hall announced
yesterday after he was removed from the permanently ineligible list

(21:15):
that Rose, as well as the other individuals who are reinstated,
are now eligible for consideration, which I think is pretty
much a lock that Pete Rose will be in the
Baseball Hall of Fame. And why wouldn't he be one
of the greatest players ever to have played the game,
and no one can deny that all time leader hits,
so I guess the discussion is over. According to the

(21:39):
announcement for the commission. In my view, once an individual
has passed away. The purposes of Rule twenty one i e.
No gambling in baseball have been served. Obviously, a person
no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the
integrity of the game. Moreover, and it's hard to conceive
of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one
that lasts a life lifetime with no reprieve. I guess

(22:03):
I can accept that man. Did Pete Rose want to
be in the Hall of Fame when he was alive? God,
it's like all he would ever talk about.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Troubling video going around social media led to the arrest
of a twenty eight year old woman, Caitlyn Conklin, charged
with cruelty to animals and domestic violence. According to Butlokinti
Sheriff's Office, Joe, we may have a local award to
give out this morning. Twenty eight year old arrested after
the Sheriff's office said they were made aware of a
disturbing video posted on social media showing the woman, Caitlin Conklin,

(22:35):
punching her boyfriend and qualifying her for our award this
morning choking a dog. The dog is heard in the
video struggling to breathe Conklin, also in the complaint, forcefully
threw the dog to the ground. Sheriff's deputies went to
the home of Buena Avenue in Lemon Township to investigate

(22:57):
the video. After talking with this woman and her boyfriend,
the Sheriff's office so the twenty eight year old was arrested.
This type of behavior is unacceptable. That's an announcement for
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. We take both domestic violence
and animal cruelty fairly seriously and will always pursue charges
when the evidence supports it.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
Feris the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies.
There's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
the pinnacle of douche dum good going due.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Your dreams have come true.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
I'm a dog fan. Rodney Hitton Junior, you know him,
pleaded not guilty yesterday to new charges that include the
possiblity of the death penalty. He's accused of intentionally crashing
his car and killing Hamilon County Shriff's Deputy Larry Henderson.
May he rest in peace. One day after an unnamed
since a police officer fatally shot his eighteen year old
son Ryan Hinton. Rodney Hitton Junior arigned yesterday new charges

(24:00):
of aggravated murder, which includes the possibility of death penalty
corner of the court documents. Judge set Rodney Hinton Junior's
triality for February next year. He will continue to be
held without bond. His attorney, Clyde Bennett five thirty five
fifty five Care see the talk station, feel free to call,
and feel free to get your imaging done at Affordable

(24:22):
Imaging Services. Because you have a freedom of choice when
it comes to medical care, you can go wherever you want.
Your doctor's going to issue a prescription for an echo cardiogram,
an MRIs CT scan, or an ultrasound, and the doctor
is going to suggest you go to the hospital imaging department,
where an echo cardiogram may be delayed because of backlog
three weeks to a month. It's your heart. You want
to get right in because you're worried. Your doctor's apparently

(24:44):
worried enough you need an echo cardiogram. Get right in
at Affordable Imaging Services and not pay thirty five hundred dollars.
You'll only pay five hundred if you don't need an
enhancement eight hundred with an enhancement, massive savings of money.
It's the same thing across the board. MRIs cost you
maybe the same amount of money thirty five hundred dollars,
perhaps more, and none of these will probably include the

(25:04):
radiologist report. You'll hit a separate line item and bill
for that. All the images that Affordable Imaging services come
with the board certified Radiologist report. I've had multiple CT
scans done there, none of them a problem for my doctor,
no problem. It's the same kind of equipment with medical
professionals operating in and a board certified radiologist report improved
concluded with it. So I didn't pay five grand. I

(25:26):
need a contrast, so it is six hundred dollars four
fifty if you don't need a contrast for that CT scan.
All of them a fraction. There's very low overhead there,
so don't expect a bunch of bells and whistles. But again,
same kind of equipment and medical professionals who operated, who've
been doing this for decades. Online Affordable Medimaging dot com.

from the Woodland Hills neighborhood, unnamed driver caught literally with
her pants down, according to local news. Amazon officials in
his statement said, we are deeply disturbed by the unacceptable
behavior the delivery driver and apologize to the customers involved.
We immediately identified the driver and they are no longer

(28:14):
delivering off behalf of Amazon. Well, this is one picture
of one woman they are no longer delivering. Do you

Talk about societaled the evolution. Let us see here we

(29:17):

shoot a stranger at Wendy's restaurant after he picked a
fight with her over her dog. Just dog apparently got
off its leash. Court to police. Carrington Bagwell, twenty three,
arrested following an investigation of the January shooting, Louisville Metro
Police Department said in a statement on Facebook. Local CBS

(29:37):
affiliate reported that during her arraignment on Tuesday, her charges
were upgraded a second degree complicity assault and first degree assault.
Please say, Bagwell instructed forty one year old Gary Ross,
who was arrested in May first week of May, to
accompany her to a Wendy's in Louisville in January and
shoot a stranger with whom she had recently argued over

suspect fled the scene before officers arrived. Court documents stated
that conflict began earlier in the day when an argument
rupted between Bagwell and the victim. Documents said Bagwell's dog
got loose, and as she tried to regain control of

(30:46):
the dog, she and the alleged victim had a verbal argument.
Bagwell then went home told Ross the co defended about
the incident. Both returned to the Wendy's together, allegedly to
confront the other man about the fight. Reportedly that Bagwell
allegedly encouraged Ross to shoot the man. Court to local

(31:06):
newscaure it is and how about just walk away move
on with your life. Yeah, you had a confrontation with
the guy about your dog being awf a leash. Okay,

Happy Wednesday to you returning to the stack. Stupid. My
dad passed away. My mom had his wedding ring refashioned
into a heart. It's a beautiful, beautiful piece of jewelry
that she has and remembrance to my father. Rather than

(32:51):
burying it with him, Dad was cremated. Cemetery worker in
Indiana allegedly dug up a grave site to retrieve and
earn that was buried with a gold ring inside. Why
are you doing that? Telling police he couldn't stop thinking
about it. Seth Davidson, twenty four years old, found covered
in dirt from head to toe. That's quoted because it's

(33:13):
in the arrest report. After pulling off the alleged grave
heist at Oaklahm Memorial Cemetery in Fisher's, officer with the
Fisher's Police Department observed a suspicious vehicle in the area
and stopped to investigate. Davidson emerged from a nearby wooded
area moments later. Corn to the police report release, the

(33:35):
officer spotted a shotgun and paraphernalia in plain view. While
the officer was investigating the vehicle, Seth Davidson emerged covered
in dirt from head to toe and confirmed that he
in fact owned the vehicle. Davidson allegedly told police he
worked at Oaklawn, where he recently buried and earned on
its property with a gold ring inside of it which
he wanted to pawn off corner to the release of

(33:58):
the police he confessed that he couldn't stop thinking about
the ring, prompting him to dig it up and pawn it.
Upon noticing the offices approaching his vehicle, Davidson hid the
ring behind a dumpster. Davidson then allegedly guided officers to
the ring and also directed them to the grave that
he had dug up fresh dirt indicated recent disturbance. Accord
to the press release, Oaklawn confirmed to the two detectives

(34:22):
that Davidson was in fact an employee and that the
only disturbed one grave site that really matters family of
the deceased, was notified by police. He's now facing charges
of cemetery mischief, criminal trespass, and theft cemetery mischief. That's
a crime and Indiana apparently, yes, exactly, Joe, imagine that

(34:49):
covers quite a bit of activities. How does one define mischief?
Florida man caught lining in bed with his sleeping ex
girlfriend after breaking into her home through a dog door,
which he also exited through after being punched in the
nose by the victim with an elbow. Here's the details.

(35:12):
Twenty six year old Kaylei and Ross facing burglary with
assault charges for the alleged break in Escamia County, Florida.
Corner the rest report, which has been reviewed by a
Long Crime which published the article. Authority say Ross was
caught by the victim after she woke up in her
room to find him lying in the bed next to her. Creepy.

(35:33):
He allegedly attacked the woman after she told him to leave,
prompting her to throw the elbow, hitting him in the
nose the corner of the Sheriff's office release. Rest report
says the victim stated she woke up in her room
to see her ex boyfriend kayle And Ross lying in
the bed next to her. The victim stood up, turned
the room light on the victim Anne Ross had a
short conversation that ended with the victim telling Ross to leave.

(35:55):
Ross refused, grabbed the victim by her wrist, and threw
her on the bed. Ross allegedly got on top of
the woman as and she began to struggle, elbow him
in the process. Ross then left the residence the same
way he entered, through the large dog door at the
front of the entrance. Yeah, well, I mean he did,

(36:15):
but a little too late from that ex boyfriend. Listen, buddy,
you broke up all right. Let's move on again, going
back to moving all of your life. You're not with
her anymore, Geez Louise. People in relationships. Victim appeared to
be upset about the situation. Court of the report told
police she wanted to press charges. Police called to the scene,
they didn't couldn't find Ross. Initially, a Toyota registered in

spotted driving away in the vehicle a short time later,
later eventually found and taken into custody, being held in

and we have for quite some time now. The Big
Picture with Jack Adviden that's coming up at seven oh five.
Jack Atherton will be addressing the big Pharma lobbyist is

(37:55):
of course, in the wake of Donald Trump's executive order
Most Favored Nation staff for pharmaceuticals, again out loud asking
the question, how is it that Canada can get pharmaceuticals
for so much less money than we here in the
United States pay. It's a good question. Why are we
subsidizing research and development here on our shoulders alone, where
the rest of the world gets the benefit of lower

(38:16):
cost pharmaceuticals. And the statistics on pharmaceuticals we're kind of
mind blowing a right the other day that on average
five hundred and forty bucks a month or something like that.
It's like, really, that's a hell of a lot of money. Yeah,
a lot of people are on meds. Donald and Neil
Americans for prosperity and protecting private property rights. This is

(38:36):
a connection I believe with airbnb type rentals and Donald
and Neil and Americans for prosperity, fighting for property rights
and your ability to well use your property as you determine,
which I get and agree with to a large degree.
But then there's that compounding factor. Well, if you live
in a neighborhood and you got one of those airbnbs
right next door, you may be having problems with them.

(38:57):
And folks that short term rentals don't necessarily give up
wit about the rest of the neighborhood. Quite often they're
on vacation, they're partying, they're having a great time, which
can be a little bit disturbing if you're trying to
get us go to sleep at night. So I feel
like I'm sitting on the fence and that kind of issue.
So I'm looking forward to having Donovan articulate why AFP

(39:18):
has come out loud in favor of the House incentive
bills that are floating around regarding those issues. Congressman Thomas Massey,
I love when he precedes Judge Anena paltanous Well, two
of my favorite folks. Congressman Massy on reconciliation and out
of control spending. Of course, we got some of the
details now about the mega bill that they're proposing. Speaker

(39:41):
Johnson wants them to phase it in and do in
multiple steps, and he's against the larger bill because it
just doesn't cut enough. And he's right, and I'm sure
Congressman Massy's on my side of the equation and Speaker
Johnson side of the equation with regard to the very
limited nature of the cuts that are in this bill,
and it is reconciliation doesn't require a Senate majority, which

(40:03):
makes it much easier to get through as long as
you have well unanimity among the Republicans, and they're really
struggling to get that because you got the Republicans in
high tax states that are pushing for a much higher
salt threshold. Right now it's at thirty thousand dollars, up
from the current ten thousand dollars, and that's just not

(40:24):
quite good enough for the residents of the state of
New York, at least in terms of their representatives. You know,
you're the ones that have epics insane high taxes. I mean,
this is the American taxpayer bailing out you and sort of,
you know, taking away the pain that high tax states

(40:45):
residents feel when they can deduct those massive taxes from
their federal income tax when doing their tax returns. I mean,
you should feel the pain and you should go a
different direction when it comes to elected officials who are
ones that are responsible for jacking your taxes up. Anyway,
we'll hear from the congressman on that, also free speech
related bills and his argument to get out of the

(41:08):
World Trade or a trade organization. And then of course
it's Wednesday. Judge Nitapolitana, what if freedom is suspended? Talking
about habeas corpus and the Trump administration suggesting suspending the
rid of habeas corpus, an idea that is not popular
with the morning show host meet. All right, so what

(41:29):
do we got? Well, let's move over to some positive developments,
at least if you're on the side of deporting illegal
immigrant gang members. I know Trump's been struggling in the
course because every time he has issues an executive order
or does any literally anything, the ACLU or other organizations
NGO's running to court to try to stop them. And
that's what happened with his efforts to use the Alien

(41:52):
Enemies Act to deport members of the Train di Aragua gang.
Does anybody want them in the country. Well, according to
a recent judicial opinion, Trump can use the Elliot Enemies
Act to deport members of that gang. According to the
federal judge ruling yesterday, which broke with some of the

(42:15):
other court judges who've ruled on this going the opposite direction.
In this case, US District Judge Stephanie Haynes, who happens
to be a Trump appointee in Pennsylvania, determine the President
can remove individuals affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations under the AEA,
but required the administration to provide the detained migrants with

(42:38):
twenty one days notice in both English and Spanish before
deportation can occur. So you've got to give him to
fair notice. Forty three page opinion that her unflagging obligation
is to apply the law as written quote. Having done
its job, the court now leaves it to the political
branches of the government, ultimately to the people who elected

(42:59):
those individuals, to decide whether the laws and those executing
them continue to reflect their will. Well, that is representative government.
Trump previously designated the Trade into Agua gang as a
foreign terrorist organization, which allows him, in his opinion, to
invoke the AEA because they're invading it permits deportations during

(43:23):
an invasion or predatory incursion by a foreign power. Now,
this law has only been used during wartime Previously, Trump
invoked it in March to expel more than one hundred
of these gang members, sending them down to El Salvador.
In this case, it is the ACLU who filed multiple
lawsuits challenging the use of this law, and apparently when

(43:44):
that will be urging the Supreme Court to resolve the
matter nationwide because this ruling conflicts with prior rulings from Texas,
New York, and Colorado. Now, this judge refrained from weighing
in on whether gang members specifically fall under the AEA's jurisdiction,
limiting a rule to Trump's authority to act against the
designated terrorist groups. It lifts a temporary block that she

(44:07):
previously issued last month, saying the Court recognizes that it
may need to conduct further analysis and consider additional issues
related to the specific notice in the future. In other words,
if you don't provide prior notice, someone is going to
end up in court arguing that you didn't provide the
twenty one DEDs notice required in the order. So yeah,
there may be further court proceedings, but we'll let that
happen if it happens, so she's just acknowledging that. So

(44:30):
now we have a split decisions across the jurisdictions, which
of course invites the Supreme Court to analyze this issue
and determine completely whether or not the AEA can apply
to gangs. Remains me seen and in further judicial actions.
We have a federal judge, oh look, a Trump appointing

(44:52):
now authorizing the IRS to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement
locate illegal aliens in the United States by providing the
ICE agents with tax information. Apparently last month, the IRS
and ICE finalized the deal that would allow ICE agents
to request tax information on illegal aliens the agency is

(45:14):
looking to locate and deport. Under the terms of the deal,
ICE can submit a request to the IRS for this
information and help find them, and from there IRS officials
can hand over the information on illegal aliens now left
winging non governmental organizations. This is kind of where the
lawsuits come from. In this case, a variety of them

(45:37):
sue the Treasury Department to get the IRS ICE deal
blocked by a district court.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
It didn't work.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
The US District Judge Dabney Frederick on Monday ruled that
the IRS ice deal does not violate the IRS Code,
denying their request for a preliminary injunction. Quote. At its core,
the case presents a narrow legal issue. Does the memorandum
of understanding between the IRS DHS violate the Internal Revenue Code?
It does not. And I've kind of cracking up over

(46:07):
that one. If you're in the country illegally, under what
circumstances would the IRS have information about you? Are you
filing tax returns? Maybe it's one of those Social Security
numbers that have been stolen, because well, we had a
whole bunch of them in the ranks that were still active.

(46:27):
Maybe they're being used by people living in the country
illegally who are employed with the stolen tax number. I
don't know. I just got to ask that question out loud,
because I don't know. I really quick fathom under what
circumstances the IRS would have information about illegal aliens living
in the country. Ponder that one and answer the question

(46:48):
if you can, but feel free to call me without
further ado. Let's talk about odor. Eggs have great products
made right here in the Greater Cincinnati area, and they
have been for more than twenty five years. The products

That's right. If oto exit does not eliminate the odor
that you're trying to get rid of when you use
it as directed, then they give you your money back.

(47:09):
I mean that's a strong guarantee, especially when you're talk
about odors, smoke, mold, mildew, human odors, pet oders, skunk spray,
up and down the line. Odor Exit products have been
working for again twenty five years, and congratulations on the

the area yesterday. You can get the podcast of that
if you choose to have me read it to you.
But the Decivilizing of America, it's a great op ed

(49:20):
piece by Victor Davis Hanson and really an eye opener
about the well literal decivilization of America and a whole
bunch of different areas. It's sort of a it's just
a thoughtful brief analysis of the erosion of the fabric
of America that's unfolding before our very eyes. And one
of the reasons this open borders that that Joe Biden

(49:42):
encouraged a without question, an intentional effort to undermine the
value system and everything that we believe in as Americans.
Just scary stuff going on out in the World's go
to the phones before we move on. Bobby's on theline. Hey, Bobby,
thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 12 (50:00):
The Happy hump Day, my brother, Flagging family. You're always
going to have freedom. Don't forget your firearms. Actually, given
my friend, the last few days, we've had a lot
of individuals don't understand why the rhetoric of a lot

(50:20):
of the left is doing. You know Crockett from down
in Dallas. But one is a good one is old
David Hogg. I was elected as a vice chair at
the d NC.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Go ahead, Bobby. Anybody who knows this is laughing with
us right now, Bobby, because if you read the DNC,
they are just they don't care at all anyway, Go ahead, Bobby.
I'm sorry to interrupt. I just don't know.

Speaker 12 (50:50):
But that's what this Democratic Party has. They has these
people that want to be loud and bold and screaming
and everything well educated that well, look at Crockett down Dallas.
But David Hall, he was elected as a vice chair
of the DNC election. Yeah, they're kicking him out and
they're polling the election out because they don't like his gandery.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yeah and the.

Speaker 12 (51:16):
Beginning.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
And they claim that the rules were somehow violated or something.
It's the most twisted and contorted argument you could ever
come up with coming from the DNC, because oh my god,
look look what who our party elected. Look who the
majority of the Democratic Party elected. David Hogg, And oh
my god, we're left with this clown. Listen to what
he's saying he's trying to primary out Democrats. He's not

(51:39):
attacking the Republicans. We need to unring this democratic process.
I mean, it's just, oh god, it's like selecting Kamala
Harris to be the presidential nominee without asking the Democratic
part of the Democrat Party who they want to be
the nominee.

Speaker 12 (51:56):
Well, let's threatening the DNC hierarchy. I mean, I still
got to see propositive T shirts?

Speaker 5 (52:02):
Remember those?

Speaker 12 (52:02):
Oh yeah, you know, it's just a comedy show, my friend. Well,
what need to understand? We're in the midst of a
cultural revolution. We are, and they can figure it out.
They can figure it out real easy and be prepared
for the seventy two our window because it's coming.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Well, you know, you say that, and every time you
say it, as time moves on, I'm more and more
inclined to buy into the proposition that it is coming.
And that's exactly what that Decivilizing of America column is
all about for Victor David Hanson, which again is posted
right there on my blog page fifty five Casey dot
com for all read, Yeah, it's a cultural revolution. With

(52:40):
that question, Bobby, appreciate your call. As always let's see
what CJ's got today. CJ, thanks for calling the Morning Show. Welcome,
thank you, and.

Speaker 9 (52:47):
I hope you're having a great morning.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
One thing you can really see with the decivilization of
America and I want to read that article bye. You
see it in every high school, every junior high any
elementary school. If you are a parent and your kids
are watching TikTok or Instagram, their feeds are just full
of high school fights. They are just all over the place.

(53:13):
And the new thing is these kids are attacking teachers
and adults and they're getting zero to no punishment. And
when they do, you get the superintendents out there, as
there is in one school district saying that we don't
support the county or the prosecutor charging battery because the
student attacked or students attacked the adults. There is no

(53:37):
fear amongst the children of this country right now against violence,
and that is a very very dangerous thing because these
people are soon.

Speaker 9 (53:44):
To be adults.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
You are so right on that, and that's another scary component.
If you don't have punishment as one of the pillars
of law enforcement, even in enforcing school disciplinary actions, you
get a bunch of unruly people who realize there's not
going to be any consequences for their violence, and that's
happening more and more every single day. And then of
course the politicians and the powers to be, if they

(54:07):
are left leaning like they seem to be, will go hard,
hard after select groups. This is like you know, a
racist back in the in the in the era of
like Jim Crow laws and lynchings. You know, people will
go after a group of people based on the color
of their skin and not go after other people for
you know, for crimes, and you just have selective prosecution,

(54:32):
and it's twisted. The mentality is insane. But if you
don't enforce the law equally and across all lines, you're
going to have a devolutionist society. We see it in
the classrooms, as you point out, we see it in
the streets. And did anybody get prosecuted for throwing frozen
water bottles and fireworks or blowing up and burning buildings
for the antiphon Black Lives Matter? Folks, I don't recall it,

(54:53):
but they went after the JA six protesters. Weren't both
sides equally responsible for violating the law, and shouldn't both
sides been equally targeted by law enforcement to go after them,
to hold them accountable for their crimes. Now, ah, it's
just mind boggling the punishment. It serves as an illustration

(55:14):
to all members of society that if you break the law,
you will be held accountable. And if you don't tell
these children that what they're doing is going to result
in consequences, then guess what it's gonna get worse. Social
media's only exacerbated the problem. There's a lot of one
upsmanship going on out there. Oh yeah, you think that's bad,

(55:35):
Well check out what I'm gonna do six twenty six
right now. Fifty five cares to the detalk stations. Phone

you call plump type plumbing A plus the better business Vureau,
no service fees and free estimates. So the some pump

(55:56):
problem plump type plumbing to the rescue. You got the
whole idea of your sewer line having problems, which can
be observed with multiple clog drains, poor draining, foul odors,
got that going on, maybe patches of abundant growth in
your lawn, that's probably your sewer line leaking or having

(56:18):
or collapsed. So you know what they do trenchless sewer
line repair. They don't have to dig up your yard
to repair or replace your sewer line. That's a great
thing that they do. They're also the number one installer
of tankless water heaters. Go tankless for energy efficiency, save money,
save space because they're really they're small. They're like the
size of a suitcase compared to your well maybe one

(56:39):
hundred gallon hot water heater the traditional tank heater. Plus
they last a lot longer than the traditional tank. So
it's a lot of great reasons to go with a
tankless water heater. And plump tied to the folks to
install those. So any problem with your plumbing, including the

Jishia six thirty two at fifty five KRCD talk station.
I always credited my listeners for being so unbelievably intelligent
and a stude. And props to Eric, who's maybe answering
the question about what the IRS might have about illegal
immigrants which it can share with Immigrations custom officials. The
individual Taxpayer Identification number, which apparently is issued by the

(58:38):
IRS to foreign individuals who are not eligible for a
Social Security number but need to file taxes. Now, that
does exist, I guess, unlike a Social Security number, which
is issued by the Social Security Administration to US citizens
and those authorized to work in the US. But if
you're in the country illegally, would you apply for and

(59:00):
individual taxpayer identification number? Would you file taxes? Just wondering
under what circumstances you would apply for that. Anyhow, apparently
they've got those. Thank you Eric for passing it along
in Local Stories, and thank you Todd Zinzer Citizen Watchdog.
You should definitely listen to his podcast if you're worried

(59:22):
and concerned about matters in the city of Cincinnati. He's
doing all the reporting that local news reporting outlets should
be doing on behalf of the taxpayers of the city
of Cincinnati. Sherry Long, the city manager, issued a memo
to the mayor and the City Council basically a memo
to the general public about potholes. So again, the purpose

(59:43):
of the memos to brought an update on the Department
of Public Services pothole repair efforts. They said the rainstorms
the temperature fluctuations resulted in the reopening of temporary road patches.
I don't have to read the whole memorandum, but she
said the asphalt plants are scheduled to open on April twentieth,
which will allow CLUES crews to implement more sub sustainable
general repairs, maybe fully paving road lays, roadways like sunset. Anyway,

(01:00:11):
they say they're hard at work. Average pothole is filled
and fixed within three days. I don't believe that for
a minute. They are encouraging citizens to be pothole spotters
by reporting pothole locations, which I'm encouraging my listening audience too,
in fact do She writes this helps DPS to perform

(01:00:33):
temporary fixes to ensure safe travel. Potholes can be reported
Joe Bottles can be reported by calling three to one one,
which I think only works if you are within the
limits of the City of Cincinnati geographically three one one,

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Forty fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Wednesday. Well, on
a follow up my comment about those tax numbers, Eric says, well,
under the DACA, illegals were encouraged to get one of
those temporary or individual tax pay identification numbers. I still
question whether you would would if you were in that position.
Would you just because you're encouraged to do it, would
you actually do it? I'm here illegally. Why would I

(01:03:23):
give them a bunch of information about myself? Why would
I file taxes? I'm a lawbreaker. Anyhow, Over to the
phones five one three, seven hundred eight two three talk
interestingly two Tom's on the line. Will go with Tom
one other Tom, I'm not talking to you. Hang on,
I'll get your call after Tom one. Tom, welcome to
the program. Thanks for calling. Morning Brian morning.

Speaker 5 (01:03:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:03:46):
You were talking a few minutes ago about that three
wrong run with Cincinnati. Yeah, I hate to say it.
I have a business right across from one of the
city locations, and uh well, I was very difficult. But
over the last two years I've called every time I
see Apopo, I'll stop, I'll take a picture. I'll send
it to three one one. Within forty eight hours, that

(01:04:09):
thing's filled.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
I am glad to hear that. I obviously I'm jaded
and cynical that the cities of Sincenti's actually doing something
of value for the residents. So I'm pleased to hear
that you've had a positive result of it. Tom. I
find it a little shock the.

Speaker 14 (01:04:22):
Very Yeah, me too.

Speaker 13 (01:04:25):
I was surprised. I said, you know, I'll make this support.
I'll never see these people show up but shut up
every time. Within forty hours the things filled up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Well that's great. Can I just ask you a quick question?
Is is it a major thoroughfare? Is it? Like I
get the impression certain neighborhoods and maybe less used roads
are being ignored, And if they're focusing on roads that
are more heavily traveled, it would make sense. But I'm
just wondering, you know, how heavily traveled is the road
that you're talking about, or roads as the case man.

Speaker 13 (01:04:55):
One of the ones that I've reported have been on
Guest Street between Fraemen and State Street. Ser They're not
terribly heavily travel They're not a major thoroughfare. But can
I see him I call it in?

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Well, you know what.

Speaker 13 (01:05:09):
If you don't. If you don't call it in, it'll
be there for the next five years.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Well, that's for sure. That's why I was telling everybody
to call in about Sunset. It's just it's been that
way for a decade. Tom, thank you for the positive
news for the city of Cincinnati. I welcome that kind
of news. Why I'm so jaded in citeical. I think
I have good reason to be. Tom too, Tom, thanks
for holding on the phone. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 14 (01:05:34):
I'm in favor of a national ID badge and also
workplace raids, where we put the burden on the employer
attire and all these illegals in the country and find
them or whatever. But I think that'd be a good
way to stop.

Speaker 15 (01:05:51):
All this.

Speaker 14 (01:05:53):
Well free money flowing out of the country and taking
resources from US citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
Well fair enough, And I know they do raid companies
that have been turned in for hiring illegal immigrants. I mean,
if you don't, if you're not authorized to work in
the country, you're not supposed to be hired in the
first place. But the problem with that is if the
illegal immigrant obtains documentation which gives them the appearance of
the right to work, then employers aren't held are really

(01:06:20):
don't press the matter. They're not they don't look into it.
They don't contact like Social Security and find out it's like, oh, here,
I have a Social Security Well it's like, it's fine
with me, you're hired. So maybe the owners should be
a little bit stronger on employers to double check and
verify that the information that's being presented is accurate. I mean,
if they're in the country illegally, they don't have a
Social Security number or this temporary work allowance, then they're

(01:06:42):
not supposed to be hired in the first place. And
we you and I both know that a lot of
employers don't care about that, and I'll go ahead and
hire them anyway. Appreciate the call. Five on three sevento
nine fifty one hundred eight hundredy two three talk in
other legal developments. This is interesting a conversation we had
with Judge Ennopolatana, who's going to be on at eight
thirty today talking about these suspension of the rod of
Abas Corpus. We talked about that judge who was arrested

(01:07:06):
for helping an illegal immigrant evade ice. It was a
couple of weeks ago, and the judge was a little
upset about that, saying that judge has no obligation to
cooperate with the federal officials. Now, this judge just indicted
Judge Hannah Dugan, Milwaukee County Circuit judge. She was assigned

(01:07:27):
to preside over the hearing for Eduardo Flores Ruez, a
Mexican national charged with domestic violence. This is back in
April eighteenth. Flores rus had previously been deported in twenty thirteen.
No evidence that he re entered the country illegally, so
illegal immigrant he was and remains. FBI agents had deportation
officers planned to arrest Flores Ruez after the hearing. They

(01:07:51):
knew he was going to be in front of the judge.
They showed up. They were going to tap their feet
and wait around for the hearing to be for the
hearing to conclude, and then arrest him when he was
walking out of the courthouse. However, witnesses said Dugan, the judge,
appeared to be visibly upset and had a confrontational, angry

(01:08:12):
demeanor upon learning that the arrest party was out there
waiting for this guy to walk out of the courtroom,
and they claimed, Dugan escorted Flores Ruas and his lawyers
out of the courtroom through a jury door, which leads
to a non public area in the courthouse after she
quote unquote ordered the team of FBI and deportation officials
to go to the Chief Judge's office. The jury door

(01:08:33):
normally used by defendants only if they are in the
custody of deputies. Another officer, according to the affidated, noted
that Flores Rus and his lawyer on an elevator alerted
the arrest team. Floresru is apprehended after a foot chase
outside the courthouse, which foot chase never would have taken
place had they just had he been just released in

(01:08:54):
the normal court order a course of the hearing process,
which is leaving the courtroom out of the main courtroom doors.
FBI director Cash Matel said investigators believe Dugan intentionally misdirected
federal agents away from Flores Ruez as officers were preparing
to arrest him in the courthouse where the judges work,
so obstruction of justice. This judge was just indicted by

(01:09:16):
a federal grand jury after being arrested and accused of
helping an illegal alien if a Immigration and Customs officials.
Indictment comes after being arrested on April twenty fifth and
suspended from her duties by the Wisconsin Supreme Court after
the arrests. The grand jury reviewed the charges that were
in the complaint determined that enough probable cause existed to

(01:09:40):
continue the case. So she's facing one kind of obstructing
or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency, and
another of concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.
If convicted, she could face up to six years in prison,
schedule for a court appearance on May fifteenth, could face

(01:10:00):
more disciplinary actions against her license and maybe get a
loser license to practice law. She maintains her innocence and
expects to be vindicated in court. Well keep your popcorn
out on that one as well. Six forty seven to
fifty five K see the talk station. Get you car
to FORIGN exchange like I did? Yep, I had a
big service. You know you get the forty thousand, twenty

(01:10:23):
thousand mile maintenance. Anyway, I was at forty thousand mile
maintenance and it was time for a big one which
included spark plug changes, all the air filters, included the
engine filters, break, fluid flush and change, and an oil change.
And that adds up to big bucks. German cars are expensive.
What more can I say? I bought one, but I

(01:10:44):
know I saved a lot of money considering what I
paid for foreign exchange for all that work being done.
If I had taken it to the dealer, my guess
is I probably would have had to pay one thousand
dollars or more over the Foreign Exchange bill because I've
had service done at the dealer before. But don't do
that if you can avoid it, because Foreign Exchange charges less.
What do you get at Foreign Exchange? You get an

(01:11:04):
ASCU certified Master technician, Factory train certified. They have access
to europe manufacturers technical information, even do software updates and programming.
And if you get the run around from your dealer
under warranty, you take it to Foreign Exchange and see
if the dealer's telling you the truth. Because just recently
when I was there picking up my car, they told
me a story about a dealer hont a dealer specifically,

(01:11:25):
this guy was having problems with his under warranty car
and they said, there are no codes, there are no
codes thrown. We can't find anything wrong with it when
we hook it up. Foreign Exchange has the exact same
software the dealers use, and a lo and behold there
were a bunch of codes thrown. So he took the
print out from Foreign Exchange back to the dealer and
guess what it got repaired under warranty. I guess they
were trying to avoid that. This is the kind of

(01:11:46):
thing foreign exchange does. But bottom line is your bottom line.
So if you have a traditionally manufactured imported car Asia
Europe or a Tesla, they'll fix it for less. You'll
leave with a full warranty on parts and service and
a smile on your face. Five one, three, six, four,

Very happy Wednesday to you, Jack adad In after the
top of the air news get the big picture from
Jack having to go at big Pharma lobby today, Jack
Will and Donovan and Eil for Americans for Prosperity about
protecting private property rights we were from Congress from mass
and Judge at Apolitano in the eight o'clock hour, moving
on and again a strong, strong, strong recommendation. Fifty five

(01:12:46):
KRC dot com get the link to the Decivilizing of America,
which is an op ed I read from Victor David
Hanson read it on the program the other day. I
was just really moved by it. May feel a little
upset about the state of the country, but it is
a very revealing article about this sort of this effort
to undermine everything that made America really truly great, and

(01:13:09):
the American family is one of those things. And I
saw this op ed piece, but just really on something
that's going on in Colorado which is rather frightening. The
Colorado State legislature considering bill that will change will chill
parents speech is the Kelly Loving Act. So if your
child gender transitions and you do not affirm their new

(01:13:32):
gender identity, then a judge can consider your non affirmation
to be a form of abuse and use it as
a justification deny you custody of your child. So dead
naming or misgendering your child. This is based upon the
child's perception of who they are, not yours and you know.
The author of this op ed named Julian Adorning, published

(01:13:53):
and Epic Times, made a really good point about free speech.
When it comes to free speech, a good rule of
thumb is the more or weighty the matter is, the
more essential that we be allowed to discuss it and freely.
The higher the stakes to vulnerable lives if we make
the wrong decision, the more essential it is that everyone
should have freedom to share their perspective. More speech is good.

(01:14:14):
This is something I profoundly believe in. Free speech a
powerful vehicle for discovering the truth of a matter because
it allows everyone involved to bring their perspective and their
knowledge to bear on the question. We don't allow parties
to speak freely, we increase the risk of making bad
decisions because the blind spots and cognitive biases of people
who are allowed to speak do not get confronted. That's

(01:14:37):
one of the reasons why I enjoy being hosted the
fifty five Carsy Morning Show. No one can tell me
what to say. I have the right to free speech.
I like to ponder what some in society deemed the imponderable,
Like you can be a girl if you're a guy. No,
you can't. And if my child came home and said,
you know, hey, I'm a girl. Now, my son Jerry,
for example, said I'm a girl. I mean, you know,

(01:14:58):
at his age, he's thirty. Do you think I would
pull any punches while he's an adult. I guess he's
entitled to make his own decision along those lines, but
it wouldn't go unchallenged by dad. But if he's under
the age of eighteen, do you think I would bite
my tongue and not seek to try to drive him
in a different direction? You think I might just keep

(01:15:19):
my mouth shut on the dangers associated with transitional hormones
and gender reassignment surgery. What kind of a parent would
I be? No, Jerry, you can't sew something on or
lop it off and turn it into something it's not.
It's not gonna act the same way. It's not gonna
be the same thing. Your life will be forever disturbed.

(01:15:40):
Ruling perhaps think about the long term implications here. There's
a dozen studies which talk about how this is a
bad idea. Look at the European Union. They have all
turned their back on this. They've deemed this kind of
surgery illegal, unethical, immoral, it's my right as a parent,
and as a parent, you have profound rights, guy, the

(01:16:00):
religious education of your child. They're coming for that next.
I pretty much assure you of that. But this is

next guest, the Big Picture, with our dear friend and
intellectual giant, Jack Elen, And welcome back to the program,
my friend. I love having you on the show.

Speaker 17 (01:17:22):
Oh thanks, pal, just finished the morning routine of kissing
my wife, brushing my teeth, tuning in to hear you,
of course, and taking my mets.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
Yeah, they are miracle drugs.

Speaker 17 (01:17:36):
I take four heart disease and diabetes, and I bet
most of everybody listening is on some medication too. You
were just talking last hour about how much the average
person almost to pay every mind.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
Yeah, I read the figure the other day and I
can't remember which outlet I read it on, and I
don't I didn't that verify to go out into the
world to find out that it was five hundred and
forty bucks incredible a month.

Speaker 17 (01:18:00):
For miracle drugs. But the real miracle, Brian, is that
you and I, as soon as the show is over,
could go on a road trip to Canada and buy
our American made prescriptions for a small fraction of the
price we pay here in America, and the Canadians would
even throw in maple syrup. That's what triggered President Trump's

(01:18:20):
new executive order calling for Big Pharma to charge Americans
not one cent more from medicine than they charge Canada,
with the UK, France, Germany, and Japan, any developed country,
although President Trump does support truly poor country is paying less. Democrats,
of course, oppose Trump because opposing Trump is all they've

(01:18:45):
got exactly. Although he says, some Dems are not trying
to scurry back onto the no longer sinking ship, at
least when it comes to drugs. However, some Republicans, including
one of our favorites, Senator and doctor Rand Paul, are
also grousing about what they call Trump's price controls. They

(01:19:06):
claim he is interfering with free markets. Trouble with that
is the farmer free market is not like their neighborhood
farmers market. Farmers sell their own fresh tomatoes directly to us.
In the big farmer market, there are middlemen and women,
and they seem to own a lot of Rand Paul's colleagues.

(01:19:29):
Over the past twenty years, Big Farmer and medical supply
companies have contributed would you believe this, folks, more than
six billion dollars to us political campaigns for each and
every member of the House and Senate. Big Farmer has
three Washington lobbyists. And if you think every lawmaker has

(01:19:49):
as much integrity as doctor Paul, consider that when he
called for turning door spending recommendations into law, Hall was
opposed by twenty six Republican Senators, including his good old
Kentucky colleague, Miss McConnell. Opposing Big Pharma is a lot

(01:20:11):
more urgent than continuing to pay for transgender comic books
in Peru. That's a real thing, but so is this.
Twenty percent of Americans cannot afford their prescriptions, and according
to the head of the FDA, doctor Martin McCarey, two
thirds of all bankruptcies are now triggered by unpaid medical bills.

(01:20:32):
Big Farmer's lobbying already distwarts the free market far more
than Trump's call the equalized prices, so America pays what
everybody else pays. As for government interference, remember that the
federal government is already a direct customer thanks to Medicare
and Medicaid. Washington is Big Farmer's biggest customer. Trump wants

(01:20:57):
to use that bargaining power that leverage to benefit both
government and private purchasers by making America a most favored
nation country. Other developed countries demand lower prices because they
say they have socialized medicine, and they have no wiggle room.
They tell Big Pharma take it or leave it. Pharma
can afford to discount prices elsewhere because the American lawmakers

(01:21:21):
they had bought let them get.

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
Away with murder. Exactly now, Brian.

Speaker 17 (01:21:26):
I understand that pharmaceutical companies deserve to make a profit,
a whopping profit, particularly on new drugs. They have paid
a fortune to research and develop drugs that often are
on a short patent. But that does not justify, in
my opinion, wholesale discrimination against Americans. If Big Pharma feels

(01:21:46):
it's not earning enough, let them go out and raise
prices in Canada, Europe and Japan even things out as
for R and D research and development. Don't you think,
my friend, there will always be an incentive to make
a fortune off the next Viagra.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
I was just thinking of Viagra when you were going
down that road.

Speaker 17 (01:22:08):
You think too much about Viagara, Brian.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
They made billions and billions of dollars. You know a
lot of guys out of the world. I guessed it
is like, ah, the magic cure.

Speaker 17 (01:22:19):
Yes, I'm not going to discover this because I don't
want the Canadians to have to pay give me a
break beyond that, and guess the other cavalot they come
up with? Government they say, and private foundations won't fund
cancer research. They will And when a cure for cancer,
Alzheimer's or anything else is finally found Americans should not

(01:22:42):
be overcharged, folks. One of the biggest threats to our
health and well being is big pharma, along with big tech,
big military contractors, teachers, unions, and all the other special
interests in Washington that buy our lawman makers just assure
as China bought the bidens. That's the real problem. So

(01:23:05):
what can we do about that long term? Even though
it violates strict libertarian principles, I think we must enact
campaign finance reform and enforce it. Also outlaw sweetheart deals
for retiring lawmakers, the fabled revolving door, and pass other
safeguards against corruption. Most important, I support term limits for

(01:23:29):
the House and Senate. Takes away some of your freedom
to vote for the same guy ninety times, But I
think we have to do it. All of that, however,
is going to take time, and none of it may
be doable. And that's why this is something we can do.
Each and every one of us can lobby our own lawmakers.

(01:23:49):
You don't have to be a multinational corporation to call
a politician's office, especially a politician in your own state
in district, barrage them with emails, organize something like remember this.
Maybe you were part of it, the peaceful Tea Party
rallies of two thousand and nine, which worked until the
corrupt irs shut them down. And if you still have

(01:24:13):
a representative who refuses to represent your own interests, support
twenty twenty six primary challengers, and you've got to start
doing that right now. Volunteer and contribute however you can look.
Bottom line, we rage against Mexican cartels and China pushing fentanyl,

(01:24:35):
yet our own lawmakers and their paymasters are often the
worst drug dealers. Maybe Donald Trump can bring down the
cost of weight loss drugs, but it's going to take
all of us to put Washington's fat cats on a diet.
So what do you say, my now, skinny counselor you
look great?

Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
Thanks man, I appreciate it. It's amazing what cutting sugar and
carbs out of your diet can do. But what a
concept it is. Yeah, don't need a zampic. I just
need to pay closer attention to what's going into my body.
You know, I again, you know it's it's kind of
funny you mentioned, you know, libertarian principles, and how what
your suggestions do run counter to that sort of freedom

(01:25:16):
you know, we do have the choice to elect different people.
We choose quite often to return the same people to
the elected office. They have name recognition. Very few people
show up to vote. I think it is the biggest
problem with with that, or more people or we'd have
a seior higher rotation or higher you know, participation rate
among challengers for example. But it's like the discussion that's

(01:25:38):
coming up with Donald and at the bottom of now
or protecting private property rights, you know, the ability of
someone to be free to use their home as an
airbnb and I think the AFP is supportive of that.
And while I do believe in my rights to you know,
use my property as I see fit, I also know
what neighbors are or what neighborhoods are facing, and the

(01:25:58):
challenges they face is a consequence of that freedom, and
how their lives have been interrupted regularly by unruly and
disrespectful airbnb renters. So you know these it's difficult to
cling to a libertarian philosophy when you realize there are
challenges associated with it. So it's kind of with that background,
I hear what you're saying, and I want to embrace it,

(01:26:20):
but part of me says no, no, no, that eradicates
our freedom. And I get it.

Speaker 17 (01:26:27):
You know, we rail against judges and Democrats who support
judges who say the Constitution is a living document. However,
you know, sometimes you do have to, you know, wake
up and smell the coffee. That's not part of my
morning routine. I just kiss my wife and brush my teeth.
But yes, you have to smell the coffee. And the Founders,

(01:26:47):
and I don't mean to make a fetish of the Founders,
but they never impose term limits for two reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
I believe.

Speaker 17 (01:26:54):
One is that everybody who served in government back in
those days wanted to get back to his arm or
his law practice or business, and they weren't interested in
spending all their time in Washington, right and the Founders
never expected our government to grow into a behemoth, into
a leviathan, which is what it is right now. So
you know, we look, we passed a constitutional amendment involving

(01:27:18):
the president. I don't know that we could do it
for the lawmakers, but you know what we can do
is demand that people who say they're going to run
for office will take themselves back home after a limited
number of terms. There are people who claim that some
of them never actually do it, but you know, we
can hold their feet to the fire to voluntarily term

(01:27:41):
limit themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
Well, you know what, you know why the founding fathers
didn't have to write in term limits is because being
in government was not a vehicle to become a multi millionaire.
I mean, you were stuck with a very low salary.
You were taken away from what actually made you money.
Probably you brought your small farm or whatever you were
doing when you got elected. You went there to serve
the good of the American people, and it wasn't this

(01:28:05):
lucrative destination. Now it's like, oh my god.

Speaker 17 (01:28:08):
The other side of the coin, Brian, is you got
people who knew how to make a living. They going
to Washington so that they could help. Now we've got
people like Chuck Schumer who right out of Harvard went into.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
Government exactly exactly and then became a professional politician and
ended up making millions and millions of dollars off of it.
I mean, look at you. Well, actually, Joe Biden was
apparently a financial colossal failure. He fifty years in government
and he is now scrambling to try to make a
buck because he can't afford his lifestyle. But that's his problem.
But you know, you look at Nancy Pelosi, who literally

(01:28:41):
has tens of millions of dollars. She only made one
hundred and seventy five K a year or whatever her
salary was. How is that possible? Well, back back deals,
you know, and heading insider information trading in the stock
market based upon information that if you or I traded on,
we'd be thrown in jail.

Speaker 17 (01:28:59):
Yeah, and says I didn't do any trading. It's my
husbandly P who was in real estate, not a stock
market guru. And yet look at his portfolio, the history
of his portfolio.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
It creates an awful video. But I'm sure they engaged
in pillow talk, if you know what I mean. You know, oh, honey,
by the way, you might want to pick this particular stock,
I didn't trade it my husband.

is a great product, you know. It's I've been clinging
to this notion that you know, you can make money
in the market, but sometimes you lose money in the market.
You never lose money with USA's premium phone. Every single month.

(01:30:18):
If you're using your HVA system, you're going to save
money proper thing to insulate your home. It makes your
home more comfortable, but ultimately, your bottom line is the
bottom line. And with USA Insallation's premium foam in the
exterior walls of an under insulated or uninsulated home is
going to make a world of difference. The product pays
for itself and it's only ninety nine dollars a month
interest free. I mean, consider notching your belt buckle a

(01:30:39):
little bit tighter. Don't go out to dinner one time
this month. You've got the cost of the insulation covered
and you'll probably make it back with the energy savings.
Many people are saving more than the ninety nine dollars
a month interest free on their energy bill. The stuff works.
It's a return on investment that's guaranteed from the people
at USA Insulation. So are you underlated? Do you know

(01:31:00):
we'll call for the free inspection if you know your
house doesn't have any insulation built before the mid seventies,
you're burning up in the summer fighting that uphill battle.
Give them a call, free quote and act. While at

Coming up on seven to twenty three. Here fifty five
KR see talk station mix it up with Donald and Neil.
Americans for Prosperity. In the next segment, protecting private property rights,
got a couple of bills that are being considered, or
at least a House and Senate bill companion type of
thing u HB one oh nine and SB one oh
four about private property use. Arbitrary restrictions on short term

(01:32:51):
rentals is what AFP is calling it. And again that
kind of I struggle with that one. I've heard some
horror stories about neighborhoods that have airbnbs in it renting
their houses out and how things can kind of go askew.
But then again, if I owned a place like a
second home, which I don't think I would ever consider owning,
it will be nice to be able to rent it
out as a supplement of a supplemental form of income. Anyhow,

(01:33:15):
we'll see what Donald's got to say about that. And
as far as Jack goes and the price fixing component
that is arguable in Donald Trump's efforts, you know, most
favored nation status with pharmaceuticals. Now, think about that. The
point he made the point in that European Union countries
and socialized medicine countries make the argument to the pharmaceutical companies, no,
we can't afford to pay that much for filling the

(01:33:37):
black price for these pharmaceutical products because we have socialized
medicine and we only have a finite amount of money,
so they're able to use that argument to negotiate a
lower payment than what you and I are paying. And
it's a complicated mix here in the United States with
how pharmaceuticals run, with pharmacy benefit managers stuck in the
middle taking heap loads of money and jacking up the prices,

(01:33:59):
and pharmaceutics are more expensive, so we can eliminate those,
but that shoulders the burden of profit on the American population. Oh,
because we're socialist with medicine, we can't afford to pay that.
And the pharmaceutical company agrees to that. I mean, they're
on the other side of the table in negotiation. They

(01:34:20):
could say, well, sorry, sucks to be you. I guess
you're not going to have it available for your people.
You're gonna have to step up to the plate and
pay more. And that's I suppose the argument that's going
to be made if this sticks, If what Donald Trump
has done sticks, let's spread the burden around globally, so
you and I in the United States aren't shouldered with
the burden of all their profit. Not that I'm against profit,

(01:34:42):
but I think he's absolutely right. Pharmaceutical industry is not
going to turn its back on research and development because
somewhere out there there is a disease state or a
problem out that exists in the sufficient population numbers in
the world that's going to drive them for research and
development because the next the next thing they're going to
do is create a drug that solves the problem that
people are going to break down the doors to buy.
Which is why I laughed about my egra. See, they'll

(01:35:07):
focus on fixing that problem, but they won't invest millions
and billions of dollars into figuring out how to solve
pediatric brain cancer. And that's a fact, Jack. That's why
I'm fan of the cure starts now, because there's those
private dollars being gathered together to try to find a
cure for something that impacts the small percentage of the
population and is so rapidly developing and causes death so

(01:35:30):
quickly that the pharmaceutical industry won't bother to try to
solve the problem. There's not enough profit in it. Coming

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
Seven thirty here fifty five KR CD talk station Happy Wednesday.
Always look forward to talking to Donovan and Neil for
Americans for Prosperity. Donovan, Welcome back to the fifty five
KRC Morning Show. It's good to have you on as always, Brian.
Always a pleasure to be with you midweek. I'm gonna
struggle with this one a little, just a little bit.
My libertarian philosophy and principles agrees with you wholeheartedly on

(01:38:09):
your support for House Built one o nine and Center
Bill one O four, which you'll explain to my listeners
here momentarily. But you know, I live in a neighborhood
and I would be really unhappy if one of my
neighbors started renting out their home on a regular basis
to as an airbnb to guests coming in and out
and flowing in and out. I know some neighborhoods have
had problems. The guests quite often can be disrespectful. Maybe

(01:38:32):
they're on vacation, they're in a party atmosphere. So on
a Tuesday night at midnight they're out in the backyard
drinking beer with music going on, that kind of thing,
And some neighborhoods say, you know, no, that's not what
we are looking for in our neighborhood. So you got
your neighborhood collectives sitting down and creating rules. You've got
a homeowners association, and so they try to ban these
things from happening. But that limits the freedom of a

(01:38:55):
property owner to see to do what with their property
what they see fit. So I'm kind of struggling with
the balance of these things. What specifically does House built
one O nine and center built on one of four
propose for the entire state of Ohio in terms of
this this this short term rental market.

Speaker 16 (01:39:15):
Donovan, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And the concerns you share to
Brian are what a lot of folks, legislators, folks around
Cap Square here frequently get it. What this legislation would
do though, is well, we'll be back up. One thing
the state does well when we talk about regulations and
red takes. I've been on your show and we talk
about that a lot. Yeah, we talk about regulations. One

(01:39:36):
thing the state of Ohio where states in general can
do well and where their proper role in serving regulations
exist is creating a clear concise framework for how an
industry can operate. And so when we look at the
short term rental industry, one of the things that the
state has failed to do in recent years is airbnbs

(01:39:57):
or verbos have emerged, is create a clear framework that
these can exist within. And so what you've ended up
with is where we are today, where you have a
patchwork quilt of different rules and regulations depending on the city,
community or locality, with different fees, different zoning requirements. And
so when an individual wants to exert their very simple

(01:40:22):
constitutional right of using their property as they wish, in
this case renting it out through a platform like Airbnb,
this legislation would make it clear that in the state
of Ohio you can do that, and here are the
handful of rules and requirements that have to be put
into place in order to do that, while protecting individual
property owners from local governments political subdivisions that might say, hey,

(01:40:47):
we're going to create an exorbitant fee. We may not
be able to band it out right going and create
an exorbitant fee.

Speaker 5 (01:40:52):
Centegle one oh nine.

Speaker 16 (01:40:53):
This legislation from Sander Brenner would keep local political subdivisions
from being able to do that. When it comes to
the concerns around new sense or noise. Right, But what
we point to is those laws already exist on the books,
and creating new exorbitant fees or red tape or more
regulations or outright telling an individual what they can and

(01:41:14):
can't do with their own property, we think folks need
to enforce those existing laws that already are on the
books to address when those situations arise.

Speaker 2 (01:41:27):
Well, you know, I guess someone's out there making any argument. Well,
you know, it's like we always we favor local government
because one size doesn't fit all. I hate to being
told what to do by people in d C who
have no connection with my local community. City Council's City
of Cincinnati impose the Connected Communities these zoning rules on
all of the neighborhoods in the City of Cincinnati, and

(01:41:48):
in spite of the fact that some of those neighborhoods
didn't want it, some did. They imposed their will on
Hyde Park in terms of zoning by allowing a variance
from the Connected Communities program. In spite of the fact
that the will of the citizen there was to say
no to the So you know, local control is I
think favored by most people, and so that your township
is different from the other township. If you don't like it,

(01:42:08):
maybe vote those towns trustees out of office and put
it in a new batch of trustees. Or if your
neighborhood homeowners association, you know, reflects the will of the neighborhood,
at least it's supposed to, that's what the neighborhood wants.
So I struggle with that, just you know, conceptually, what
is the extent or to what degree does house built

(01:42:29):
one of nine centerple want to four control that kind
of thing. So let's let's talk about, you know, the
specifics of it, the general terms and conditions that are
going to be in place in Ohio. The's pass. We'll
bring Donovan O'Neil for Americans for Prosperity back to talk
about that. After I mentioned the Chimneycare fireplace is stove.
You got a Woodmarning fireplace, take advantage of the spring
special going on right now for only one hundred and

(01:42:49):
sixty nine dollars and ninety nine cents plus tax. Of course,
the Chimneycare fireplaces still will come out thoroughly inspector your
chimney to do a video camera inspection. You got a
certified chimney sweep that'll sweep it. Everything will be safe
and ready for you to hit the ground running when
the cold temperatures come back. It's a great thing to do.
You don't want a chimney fire, and that's what happens
when you had a kreosop build up from the wood burners.

(01:43:10):
So if you have a stove or a fireplace that's woodburning,
it's a great time to get it taken care of
when you're not using it. Of course, everyone can benefit
from a free exterior evaluation. Got a chimney, have it evaluated.
They'll come out to your place for free and make
sure you don't have any water damage issues going on
which you could be experiencing right now and not even
know about it. Of course, that comes included with woodburning

(01:43:30):
sweep and evaluation, but for non woodburners you still could
have problems. Take advantage. It's free, schedule the appointment a plus.

On Ando going through the uh oh, the pros and
cons of that. Pardon me, Donovan and my listening audience.
House Bill one on nine cent four designed to limit
the ability well to free up more like the ability

(01:45:10):
to provide you with the opportunity of short term rental
Airbnb kind of concept now and I get your argument.
So moving aside in a way from the whys and
the whreforce whether local is better than a whole one
size fits all approach for the state of Ohio. To
what extent do these bills control short term rentals? What
are the specifics on it, and how much flexibility do

(01:45:32):
they continue to allow for local communities to control some
aspect of short term rentals.

Speaker 16 (01:45:38):
Yeah, what it would do is it would prohit what
would preempt local governments from outright prohibiting short term rentals.
Folks would be able to hear in the state of
Ohio go on a platform like Airbnb or Verbo and
list their property or a room within their property for

(01:45:58):
guests who want to visit and have that local experience.
It would it would preempt folks. One of the ways
local governments have done this in other states have created
a lottery system, so it says only a certain number
of people each year can list their property.

Speaker 5 (01:46:13):
It would say, no.

Speaker 16 (01:46:15):
You can't, you can't come over the creative lottery mechanism
to prohibit these. You can't use zoning laws, you can't
restrict the number of units. One of the things we find,
and you look at some of the testimony, dozens of
pieces of testimony, there are few folks in there who
talk about how they've taken a few different dilapidated properties,
they've invested in them and built their own small local

(01:46:36):
business right providing short term rentals in communities around Ohio.
And so say you can't, you can't limit the amount
of you know, properties that someone can have in that way,
and also cap the licensing fee to catch and what
I think makes sense for local, local and state government

(01:46:56):
here is one of the problems that exists is it's
not clear who's responsible for collecting the taxes on these right,
and so what it would require is that if they're
going to at the state sort of the bargain here,
I think if you will is that the state's going
to create this clear regulatory framework that these short term
rentals can exist. The responsibility is going to be on

(01:47:18):
the platform to make sure they collect the taxes that
the state has for lodging, right. And so what this
will do is it will help while creating a clear
and concise framework, it will also help generate revenue where
right now, because of the patchwork nature of this industry
in the state of Ohio, it's unclear who's responsible and

(01:47:40):
oftentimes those tax revenues go uncollected. So this will help
not creating new taxes, right Brian, but just saying, hey,
the Airbnb and verbos of the world have to collect
those taxes when they book these properties on.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
Behalf of the hosts, Okay.

Speaker 16 (01:47:54):
And so it helps generate tax revenue while also creating
a standard across.

Speaker 2 (01:47:59):
The state of Ohio for this industry to exist. All right,
So it would be an analogous to Amazon collecting whatever
local tax applies when you make a purchase.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
That's a great way to look at it, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
Okay, Yeah, I can understand that because the taxes are there,
it's a law that you have to pay them. Quite
often people don't do it, you know, But isn't it
also it's income to the home owner when they get
rental from an Airbnb, so that is also income tax
that they would have to report, Yes, and.

Speaker 16 (01:48:30):
That I think we continue to remain on the homeowner
and however they're set up and operating, and their relationship
with their state, local, and federal tax tax agent.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
So are there any restrictions that there would be allowed here?
I mean it sounds to me like it would be
unlimited in nature here. So anybody who owns property could
go to Airbnb and put their house on there and rented, period,
end of story.

Speaker 16 (01:49:01):
Well, and that's the idea, right. This is something that
exists long before even the finding of our country, right,
Brian is folks, before you had the Marriotts and the
holiday ends and the Hiatts of the world, people would
create INDs, right, or they would provide portions of their
housing to travelers. And what we're finding right is, rather

(01:49:22):
than having you know, folks just listening on a Craigslist
or somebody knowing somebody like you would in the olden days,
you have a safe platform like Airbnb where folks can
go and there are rules to be a host and
to be a renter on that platform, right, and then
individuals know that when there, when they're doing that transaction,

(01:49:43):
they're protected and part of that Airbnb network. And so
I think where our opponents come down on this in
a lot of ways is they just don't like what
people do in their own backyard.

Speaker 15 (01:49:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
It's a nimbia as a argument, But at the end of.

Speaker 16 (01:49:56):
The day, you know, if you invest in a property
and you're you've taken it from being a dilapidated property
in a very nice you know what used to be
a really nice part of town, and you're trying to
bring that make it up and coming, that's where these
airbnbs often occur. They invest in there, how this property,
and they want to use that property to get some
return on that investment by listing on an Airbnb.

Speaker 2 (01:50:19):
Yeah, yeah, I hear all that, and I understand that.
But you know, it's like when you buy any given neighborhood,
if there exists a homeowners association, you're going in eyes
wide open, and to own a home there. You are
part of the homeowners association, You're obligated to pay a
homeland's association fee, and you're subject to whatever rules the
Homeowners Association has in place much in the same way.
If you buy in any given neighborhood, you are subject

(01:50:40):
to zoning restrictions, and there may be restrictions on the
type of architectural style you can have, like in the
City of Cincinnati. Apparently from going forward basis so, I mean,
I just I wonder where the line is, where's that?
Where is that where we approve of these type of
restrictions whatever they may be in some areas, but we

(01:51:01):
don't in others.

Speaker 16 (01:51:04):
Yeah, I'm not sure that's a good question on the
Homeowners Association. I'll have to check with Senator Brenner on
that and get back to you around that if you
don't want to follow up there, because I think so,
I'm not sure how it deals with some of those
I know, the largest concern that comes from folks, right
is noise safety and nuisance concerns. Those right, It does
not preempt those, right. So if you've got someone out

(01:51:26):
there at midnight blast in music or jumping off of
the second floor like it's a National Lampoon's movie, right
for not that that's still illegal. That's still something that
you know, right, the local municipality can can oversee you.

Speaker 2 (01:51:41):
Right, But I think the neighborhood, you usually don't have
that going on your neighborhood because if you're living there,
you're not likely to engage in that kind of activity
because you're in the pissing off your neighbors and you
make a bad neighbor and then you're that guy. So
this sort of relationship effect, and I know someone out
there is going, yeah, well you should hear my neighbor.
We deal with them all the time, and I know
there's always people like that and you can call the

(01:52:01):
cops on them, but there's a certain element of that
sort of the neighborhood feel, the fact that you're always
going to be living next to that person, so you're
not likely to engage in that kind of activity. That's
not the case with renters. They don't care who lives
next door. I'm here, I'm paying for it, I'm going
to do whatever the hell I want. So it just
increases the likelihood that that that happening.

Speaker 16 (01:52:22):
Sure, sure, well, I think that's I mean, I think
that's a risk that comes with this. But I think
the larger argument of defending defending somebody's ability to have
their property and do what they wish with their property
outweighs that potential. Albeit I'm sure everyone has a story
where they could point to. At the end of the day, though,

(01:52:45):
we have the right to life liberty and property right, life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness. And that's what this legislation does,
is it defends that right for you or I are
one of our neighbors to rent our property out and
do so in a safe, regulated environment where we can
have the confidence of being able to do that and
not being preempted by a local city council member who

(01:53:10):
just doesn't like this industry fair enough.

Speaker 2 (01:53:13):
It just it raises some interesting, you know, worthy of
exchange topics. Normally you and I are on exactly the
same page. I'm just throwing out these U this sort
of against my natural inclination to be completely on board
with you. Just the practical realities of having a neighbor
that is constantly renting their house out to strangers every
single day, and I know that poses some some challenges

(01:53:35):
for folks along my my my lines which really do
believe in my right to do with my property what
I what I believe to do, what I'm entitled to do.

Happy Wednesday to got Jay ratlift tomorrow. Always look for
to Heaven our iHeartMedia Aviation expert on the program, closing
out the show on almost always a positive note, except
for work airport. Coming up at the top of the
our news, Congressman Thomas Massey returns love talking to the Congressman,

(01:57:05):
Let's talk about reconciliation. Out of control spending and that
is the biggest problem in what's going on up there
right now. I see there's some great elements within this
reconciliation bill, some things that you and I would really embrace, like,
for example, the hysteria that's coming from the left on
cuts to Medicaid. I mean simply requiring a grown adult,
a non disabled grown human being, maybe someone in their

(01:57:30):
thirties who is on public assistance in the form of
medicaid when they can work. Able bodied Americans in the
prime of their work life are not working, and it's
a terrible thing to say no. You must at least
endeavor to work. You must at least commit twenty hours
a week for community service if you don't bother getting

(01:57:52):
job training. I mean, there's so many opportunities out there,
and I pointed out earlier in the program, I mean
the trades. A week doesn't go by when they're in
an article about how many people are needed in the trades,
and there are work while you learn opportunities out there.
So rather being hooked up to the biblical court of
government having me and the rest of the American taxpayer

(01:58:13):
pay for your medical bills, why not participate Plumbers, electricians,
at construction work, welders. I mean, there's a number of
trades out there that there are career career opportunities, not
just jobs, not minimum wage, but careers. There are some

(01:58:35):
junior high school students I saw this Wall Street Journal
article out there in the trades. What they do is
they like they're in shop class. There are recruiters that
come into high schools now and get these kids hooked
up with their company and hire them right out of
high school. There's a whole bunch of kids coming right
out of high school starting out at seventy eighty thousand
dollars a year. What is wrong with requiring someone to

(01:58:58):
step up to the plate and say no, you at
least gotta try. There's nothing wrong with you. It's not
like we're you know, we got ten to fifteen percent
unemployment out there. There aren't any jobs available and you think
the world was coming to an end with That's just
one component of the reconciliation process. But oh, there were

(01:59:19):
protesters up in the Capitol the other day. That was hilarious.
Wall Street General reported dozens of protesters, many in wheelchairs.
The folks in wheelchairs aren't in a position where they're
gonna lose their opera, their their medicaid, and talking about
able bodied adults with the work requirement. We'll hear from
Congress Fomassi on that, a whole bunch of other topics,
and then Judge Editor Politano on the rumblings behind the

(01:59:40):
scenes about the administration maybe suspending the rid of habeas corpus.
That'll be after the news. I hope you can stick
around us.

It's eight oh five five kr CD Talk Station. Happy Wednesday,
Extra Special Wednesday the Hour Power Here with my next guest,
Congress from Massi follow by Judge Ennena Paulatana. Welcome back,
Congress from Massi. And thank you to the voters and
the Commonwealth of Kentucky for electing you over and over again.
It's always good talking with you.

Speaker 15 (02:00:29):
Well, it's great talking with you. It's a little gloomy
here at the Capitol today. I'm in DC and we're
getting ready to do the work of the people.

Speaker 6 (02:00:38):
Although I'm not sure it's going to be good work.

Speaker 2 (02:00:41):
Well, I have been calling it, and you can feel
free to disagree with me. Our spending problem as an
existential threat to our existence as a country. The way
we rack up money and spend money, we are digging
ourselves into a hole that we can never climb out of.
The debt service on the national debts already a trillion
dollars annually that is going to continue to erode the
ability of government to fund and spend on literally everything else.

(02:01:03):
Each and every year it gets worse and worse. But
we're on a trajectory to continue that downward slide. What
is with I mean, Republicans have control here, and all
I keep reading about is well moderate Republicans, Republicans in
questionable jurisdicity. They're worried about getting re elected, so they're
afraid to cut this or that. Are they're afraid to
get rid of the Green New Deal program because it's

(02:01:24):
in their in the backyard. Hey man, isn't it time
to rip the band aid off and quit worrying about
your funny, blowny job and do what's right for the
future of America.

Speaker 15 (02:01:31):
Congressman Massy, it is time to rip the band aid off. Look,
there's no bright line between freedom and socialism. It's kind
of a fuzzy line, okay, And I think you measure
it in terms of how much does your federal government?
How much are your GDP does your federal government spend
every year? If your government's taking away, you know, thirty

(02:01:53):
percent the federal government, I'm.

Speaker 6 (02:01:54):
Not even talking about state and local.

Speaker 15 (02:01:56):
If the federal government's taking away thirty percent of your
money and reallocating that, we consider that socialism. That's about
where most of the European countries have been for several decades,
and we've been at about twenty percent of GDP. That's
been our federal spending. But what happened during COVID is
we popped up to thirty percent for a couple of years,

(02:02:16):
one year under Trump and one year under Biden.

Speaker 6 (02:02:19):
I mean, these are.

Speaker 15 (02:02:20):
Socialist levels of federal spending. And the problem is it
sort of stretched the balloon during COVID and it never
went back to its original size. For three or four years,
we've been at twenty three percent of GDP is our
federal spending. So you said, you know, use the word
slipping slowly in decline or whatever. I think we are

(02:02:41):
slipping into socialism because our level of spending, the amount
of money we take from people and reallocate to other
people and businesses is twenty three percent at the.

Speaker 6 (02:02:51):
Federal level alone.

Speaker 15 (02:02:53):
When you roll in state and local, you're getting up
close to forty percent depending on what state you live in,
Which gets me to another point. In this big beautiful
bill here. You know, normally I would say, look, if
they put a bill in front of me that cuts taxes,
I'm going to vote for that. Because and then hopefully

(02:03:15):
we'll get a bill that cuts spending later on. And
that's been sort of myom for the first decade in Congress.
The problem is they never give you the bill that
cuts spending. We're not voting on Doge, the Recisions Package.
We were supposed to vote on that, and they quietly
canceled all those votes. And so what I'm facing right

(02:03:39):
now is this big, beautiful bill up here.

Speaker 6 (02:03:41):
It's got tax cuts.

Speaker 15 (02:03:42):
It's a grab bag of goodies for everybody, particularly the
blue state Republicans that you just talked about that are
crying about their next election. They want their deduction for
their house, the taxes on their houses to go from
ten thousand dollars to thirty thousand dollars. If you yeah,
the state and local tax. If you heard the word salt,

(02:04:03):
that's an acronym for state and local tax. Can you
deduct it from your federal taxes? Well you you can
right now up to ten thousand dollars. But you know
there's some big houses in New York where the property
taxes in California where you know, they're literally robbing them blind.
In New York and California, they wanted local taxes to

(02:04:24):
be so high. So the Republicans there are saying, well,
we shouldn't have to pay as much federal tax as
the people in Kentucky or Ohio since we got such
a big local tax.

Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
Well that's their fault.

Speaker 6 (02:04:35):
It is their fault.

Speaker 15 (02:04:36):
And my question is why should somebody in Kentucky pay
a bigger portion of their income for the national defense
to fund the national defense than somebody in New York does.
Just because the governor or the local officials in New
York are taxing the crap out of you or California,
you shouldn't pay different.

Speaker 6 (02:04:54):
We should all be paying for the national defense.

Speaker 15 (02:04:56):
You shouldn't get out of that obligation because you live
in a high tax blue state. But you've got Republicans
up here arguing that they should get that deduction that's
been put in this big, beautiful bill.

Speaker 6 (02:05:08):
So there's a grab bag of goodies in here. There's
tax cuts for everybody.

Speaker 15 (02:05:12):
Normally, I'm for any tax cut that we can get.
The problem is there's only one mechanism that's left to
us now that they're not doing the recisions, the only
other mechanism to cut spending.

Speaker 6 (02:05:25):
With only fifty one votes, in the Senate is the
big beautiful bill.

Speaker 15 (02:05:29):
It's called Reconciliation Bill. And they're not cutting spending. They
are increasing spending. Now, is it things I would spend
money on? Yeah, the military, the wall, there's some you
a dome, they're saying, a golden dome for the United States.
My question is why don't we have that already. We've
been funding it overseas. Not things. These aren't things that

(02:05:53):
I'm against. The problem is you cannot increase spending and
cut taxes without affecting our bond rating on the debt
we already have. So not only are they going to
bring in new debt. That's and this big beautiful bill
adds three trillion dollars of new debt to what was
already going to be fifty trillion dollars of debt ten

(02:06:15):
years from now, will be at fifty two to fifty
three trillion ten years from now. If this bill passes,
where we cut taxes and increased spending, but not only
does it do that, it's going to send a signal
to the bond markets and sovereign wealth funds from other
countries that we're not serious about attacking our school issues
or addressing them, and they're going to say, you know what,

(02:06:38):
four percent, five percent, that's not enough. We're going to
need six percent if we're going to buy your debt.
So you're going to take the legacy debt we have.
And as you so aptly you know, estimated a trillion
dollars of interest in the last year payments, that's going
to go to one and a half trillion or something

(02:06:59):
pretty soon.

Speaker 2 (02:07:00):
Well, and at some point you know that it's going
to result in the collapse of the THEA currency because
we're gonna get to the point where we can't afford
to pay that that service. I mean correct, That's the
trajectory we are on right now. It's like they're fiddling
while Rome is burning. It's like, well, screw it, it's
on fire. There's nothing we can do. We ma as
well have a party and go on to spending spree.

Speaker 6 (02:07:18):
And here's another thing.

Speaker 15 (02:07:21):
People say, oh, I agree with Massia on everything except
some of his foreign policy, and he should be voting
on these sanctions and he doesn't vote for sanctions.

Speaker 6 (02:07:29):
Guess what, folks, those sanctions are.

Speaker 15 (02:07:32):
Every time we tell another country that you can't trade
in US dollars, we're actually.

Speaker 6 (02:07:37):
Damaging quite a.

Speaker 15 (02:07:39):
Quite a nice little scam the US government's got, which
is when we print money, as long as Iran and
Russia are using US dollars, they have to hold US
dollars and we dilute them with inflation. Now, when we
tell them you can't use US dollars to transact in
a global economy, we are basic taking ourselves further and

(02:08:02):
further away from being the standard, the worldwide standard for currencies.
And then we don't get to do this trick where
we print money every year to pay our debt service
that they bought, okay, and and dilute their holdings because
they're no longer holding US dollars. So that's the other
thing that's coming up, Brian, is not not only will

(02:08:23):
they say we don't want to buy your debt and
then the price.

Speaker 6 (02:08:25):
Will go up because there'll be fewer bidders for our debt.

Speaker 15 (02:08:28):
They're they're going to say, we're, well, you didn't let
us hold us dollars. We're going to go to bricks
or one of these other, you know, international standards for currency,
and we don't need the dollar, and then quit holding dollars.
We can't dilute their holdings and we and you know,
print our way out of this problem.

Speaker 6 (02:08:46):
Not that not that I'm saying that's a good thing.

Speaker 15 (02:08:48):
I'm just explaining how it works right now and why
it hasn't collapsed already.

Speaker 2 (02:08:52):
Right well, I mean this is something that every politician
elected official, I think probably understands to some degree, although
we do have some moreroons in Congress who think, you know,
Guam can capsize. But that's what bothers me so much about.
You know, Okay, everybody needs to cut but me in
my state, and you know, I have corn farmers. Therefore,
I want the ethanol subs that to remain in place,

(02:09:14):
which is burning food in our engines, which is just dumb.
I mean, we don't need to burn ethanol in our cars.
It's not environmentally correct. All the pollutants that go out
into the world because of the farming industry generally speaking,
I think probably negate any plausible benefit. But we have
petroleum that we can refine into gasoline. This isn't like

(02:09:35):
we need a substitute for gasoline because we've run out
of petroleum. It's just an outright subsidy of the farmers
and it's forcing on us something we probably wouldn't embrace
if we had free market choices. But there they are
in Republican states demanding the ethanol subsidy remain.

Speaker 15 (02:09:51):
When you dedicate hundreds of thousands of acres in your
state to growing corn for ethanol, you were raising the
least price of that land that somebody would use to
grow some other kind of food, or diverting corn that
would go into the food supply into some other thing,
and you're raising the price of it.

Speaker 6 (02:10:09):
That's why farmers like ethanol. It raises the price of corn.

Speaker 15 (02:10:14):
The problem is it's not a natural market demand for that.
There's a certain amount of ethanol that you can put
into gas lane to improve the nock grating, but once
you get past a certain amount.

Speaker 6 (02:10:27):
And oh, by the way, it reduces your gas mode,
it does.

Speaker 15 (02:10:30):
It burns out your rubber diaphragms and your chainsaw carbon.

Speaker 2 (02:10:34):
Yeah, you can't use it as those small engine like
for a two cycle for example.

Speaker 15 (02:10:40):
Yeah, what if the cost of all that was known
ethotol would be an even worse deal.

Speaker 6 (02:10:46):
But we shouldn't be subsidizing. And you're right.

Speaker 15 (02:10:49):
I was going to protest earlier when you said you
got these blue state Republicans who want this or that.
You got some red state Republicans you do want those
ethanol subsidies. And they're from Iowa and Wisconsin and Minnesota.
I mean, they're my colleagues, and they get very squeaky
when somebody tes to take those ethanol subsidies away in

(02:11:13):
this But we should, Yeah, we should repeal all the
all the energy subsidies go back to free market.

Speaker 6 (02:11:19):
The thing, you know, the thing that Trump is doing
that it's.

Speaker 15 (02:11:22):
Really helping the economy, is to reduce regulations and let
the free market, you know, provide for our energy needs.

Speaker 2 (02:11:29):
Well, let the free market. And you know that's another
reason all of the the Green New Deal programs should
be repealed. Any subsidies going to a battery farm, wind farm,
solar panel farm, whatever it happens to be, should be repealed, period,
end of story. They're not in the market demand. If
if if the market demanded them, there would be business
and industry out there willing to create and build them

(02:11:51):
because people want them. This is something that's been foisted
on us.

Speaker 15 (02:11:55):
I've had two groups of lobbyists and they represent people
in Kentucky, which is why I let them in my office. Okay,
two different companies who because of Biden's and AOC's Green
New Deal when they got it codified into the Inflation
Reduction Act, which is irony and ironic.

Speaker 6 (02:12:14):
It didn't reduce inflation.

Speaker 15 (02:12:16):
But because they said we're going to subsidize these battery plants,
people made business decisions to expand in Ohio and Kentucky
and Indiana. And so I've got people from Kentucky, two
different companies. I'm not going to call them out who
come to my office and say, you know, we want
to see those battery subsidies remain. We made business decisions,

(02:12:41):
and my thought is you should make business decisions based
on things that make financial sense, not because of some
government subsidies. And this is the risk you run when
you think Joe Biden's going to get a second term,
so you double down on the on the nonsense.

Speaker 5 (02:13:00):
Oh look, you made a few business decisions. Sucks to
be you.

Speaker 2 (02:14:41):
See the talk station A twenty one about KRC City
talk station. By time was the Congressman Thomas Massy going
over the reconciliation Processor. Congress Massy, I guess I got
to ask you the direct question, so I know the
House can can cannot afford to lose many people to
a no vote on this. It's going to get shot
down flames given the margins, and I guess Speaker Johnson

(02:15:03):
is against it. He came out with an op ed
open letter to the public about why he's not in
favor because it doesn't cut enough. And I agree with
him on that.

Speaker 6 (02:15:10):
Are you a no, I'm not Speaker Ron Johnson, Ron.

Speaker 2 (02:15:13):
Senator Ron j Senator, Senator Johnson. I apologize for that,
but easy mistake to make.

Speaker 6 (02:15:19):
But Speaker Johnson's all in on the on this thing.

Speaker 15 (02:15:22):
Okay, Yeah, it's Ron Johnson, the Senator, and they don't,
like you said, they don't have much margin over there.
I don't think Rand Paul's going to vote for it
because it also increases that.

Speaker 6 (02:15:33):
Limit by four trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:15:35):
Yeah, so where are you on it? I'm a no
right now. That's kind of the way I figured, but
I had to ask the question directly, so the tentative No.

Speaker 15 (02:15:44):
There were we voted on two things already. That first
vote was a framework, a budget framework. It wasn't this bill.
It just set up the conditions for this bill. And
there were no guarantees that was going to reduce the deficit.
So I was the only Republican no. And I said
that the Freedom Caucus got half pregnant because they all
voted for that framework, saying it's going to get better

(02:16:07):
and denying that they were pregnant when they voted for
that thing. Then the Senate sent over a framework that
was even worse. Now they were told it would get better,
but it got worse in the Senate, as things usually do,
and they said, Okay, we'll vote for it this time,
but we really mean it this time.

Speaker 6 (02:16:24):
This thing better reduced the deficit.

Speaker 15 (02:16:26):
So they got three quarters pregnant when they voted for
the second framework, and it was myself and Victoria Sparts
were the only nos on that. And now this is here.
The chickens are coming home to roost. This is the
final bill. And I think you've got conservatives who are
really torn. I think they're fully pregnant at this point.
I think they're going to have to vote for this

(02:16:49):
because they're worried about the president and other things. They
don't want to go to their voters and say this
is irresponsible. Because here's the thing, Brian, this has new
money for a wall. Do you want to go back
home and have somebody run against you and say.

Speaker 6 (02:17:06):
He voted against the big, beautiful bill. They have money
for the wall.

Speaker 2 (02:17:10):
But as Donald Trump's demonstrated, we don't need any more
wall to stop the influx of humanity from coming across
the border. He flipped the switch and it's stopped.

Speaker 6 (02:17:19):
And I know I'm not I'm not going to weigh
in on that. I mean, but it's done a great job.

Speaker 2 (02:17:24):
But it's a mere fraction of what's in this bill
in terms of correct It doesn't.

Speaker 6 (02:17:28):
In the teav ads.

Speaker 15 (02:17:30):
That's right, but you don't get to you don't get
to defend the there's going to be tv ads.

Speaker 6 (02:17:35):
And so I know what they're going through. I've been
through it before.

Speaker 15 (02:17:38):
Look, every bill you vote against, every omnibus bill you
vote against, probably has a pay raise for soldiers in it.
And so they run ads back home saying you voted
against the pay raise for soldiers. They don't tell you
the rest of the bill is bankrupting the country and
that you would have gladly given a pay raise to
soldiers if it had been a separate vote or you know,
on a separate bill. And so there's so much stuff

(02:18:03):
in this big, beautiful bill that I think people are good,
stuff that people are afraid and if they vote against
it because it's fiscally irresponsible. I mean, this is the
most fiscally irresponsible thing you can do, Brian. It is
to increase spending by hundreds of billions of dollars and
cut taxes by trillions of dollars over the next ten years.

Speaker 6 (02:18:26):
It is not fiscally responsible.

Speaker 2 (02:18:28):
Well, that's why I say, rip the band aid off
and suck it up. If they run against you on
these little tiny fractions of part of the bill and
they're successful at it, fine, they're successful at it. But
the meantime, you did the right thing on behalf of
the American people and save the country from itself, which
is a bunch of politicians who are worried about having
a single issue add impacting the potential for them to

(02:18:50):
get re elected. I mean, it's the writing on the
walls there.

Speaker 6 (02:18:54):
But here's my take. Voters are adults.

Speaker 15 (02:18:58):
I think if you have an adult conversation with your
voters and explain all of your votes like I try
to do, and tell people what's really in these bills,
that they will send you back to Congress because you've
developed a level of trust.

Speaker 6 (02:19:15):
And that is what I am trying to do here.

Speaker 15 (02:19:18):
I'm on your show explaining why this is this is
irresponsible a force to vote on. And I'll take a
lot of heat for being no. I'll take a lot
of heat from all sides, but I can't in good
conscience drive this country off a fiscal ledge into the ravine.

Speaker 2 (02:19:40):
There you go and that's why you keep getting re elected.

to the judge Cincinnati loves you, Chuck Ingram on fifty

Speaker 2 (02:22:33):
Thirty one KRCD talk station on the heels of Congress
of MESSI making this my favorite hour of radio whenever
we get him back to back, Judge Ednapolitan and welcome back.
And I guess most of Cincinnati is appreciative of your
efforts to get Pete Rose.

Speaker 17 (02:22:48):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 19 (02:22:49):
It's it's very funny. And Ingram couldn't possibly meil on this.
And by the way, good morning, Brian's a pleasure to
be here. I have been a fan of Pete Rose
since there was a kid. I met him many times
at Fox and I did talk to Rob Manfred real
name MANFREDI to Rob Manfred about this.

Speaker 9 (02:23:08):
This is about five or.

Speaker 19 (02:23:09):
Six years ago, and he looked at me and he said, Ah,
the time might come, Judge, the time might come, but
I can't do anything about it.

Speaker 9 (02:23:16):
Now Pete was still alive. I don't take any credit for.

Speaker 19 (02:23:19):
It, but I take great joy in it that the
sport fans, not only in Cincinnati but everywhere and history
will recognize his unparalleled achievements in baseball.

Speaker 9 (02:23:34):
Unparalleled.

Speaker 2 (02:23:35):
You know, it's interesting.

Speaker 9 (02:23:36):
Greater than Demaggio. Now that my father in heaven.

Speaker 19 (02:23:39):
Will send a lightning bolt at me for saying this,
But the greatest achievement in baseball Pete Rose and his
number of.

Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
Hits unquestionable point. You cannot say he wasn't the greatest,
or he wasn't one of the absolute all time greats
of baseball period in the story the stats to prove
it out. I guess I struggle with this one. I
always have because as a believer in the rules and
in law, as you do, the cardinal rule of baseball
is you don't bet on baseball. And he lied through

(02:24:07):
his teeth for years and years, insisting that he did
not do it. When he did. I used to work
for the defense attorney, criminal defense attorney who represented the
guy that ultimately blew the whistle on him, a guy
that was placing bets on behalf of Pete Rose, who
as a law clerk I knew advance of everybody that
he was doing it. And he kept flying, and this
whole concept of him lying year after year of year,
and then finally had been yeah, I bet on baseball,

(02:24:29):
but I didn't bet on the Reds, And finally, yeah,
I bet on the Reds, but I never bet against
him that moving position in an effort to try to
get himself off the permanently band list so he could
get into the Baseball Hall of Fame, which isn't guaranteed
even though he's been removed. But that to me was
the sticking point. You knew the rule going in, you
knew what happened to the Black Sox and what happened
to those players, and yet you did it anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:24:51):
So I don't know.

Speaker 19 (02:24:56):
It's the Baseball Hall of Fame, it's not the College
of card We're not saying that only mother.

Speaker 9 (02:25:02):
Teresa can enter the whole family.

Speaker 19 (02:25:03):
I know, should they have taken the heavyweight championship away
from Muhammad Ali because he dives the draft?

Speaker 9 (02:25:09):
In my opinion, of course not.

Speaker 2 (02:25:10):
Well, that isn't a cardinal rule of boxing, though, I mean, again,
this was a This is a baseball rule since the
Black Sox events back in the early nineteen hundreds when
they threw the series. So you know, you knew.

Speaker 9 (02:25:22):
That's pretty that's pretty serious.

Speaker 19 (02:25:25):
But if crime is harmed, nobody was harmed by what
Pete did.

Speaker 2 (02:25:30):
That I do not have an argument with. And I
know I'm probably a minority in this town, most notably.
But I've been on record year after year and I've
gotten I've engaged with debates with people over it, so
we don't need to dwell on it. You're happy, I'm
many people in Cincinnati are extraordinarily happy, and that's aokay
with me.

Speaker 9 (02:25:47):
Yes, I mean I was.

Speaker 19 (02:25:48):
I was at Yankee Stadium when the Reds played the
Yankees in the World Series.

Speaker 9 (02:25:54):
I don't remember what year this was.

Speaker 19 (02:25:56):
Pete Rose was playing third base Mickey Rivers, who was
so fair he could get to first before anybody could
throw the ball from third. Pete Rose picks up a
little dribbler and shakes the ball at Mickey's face like,
I'm so good, Mickey, I'm not even gonna throw the
ball until you're halfway to first from and he caught
him out.

Speaker 2 (02:26:17):
Yeah, there's some great stories and everybody. I remember the
Big Red Machine like it was yesterday, because that was
the heyday of baseball here in the city Cincinnati. But
I must note they also removed from the permanently banned
list all of the Black Sox players too, including Shoeless
Jackson or whatever his name was. So I saw the
Shoeless Joe from Hannibal Mo. You know it.

Speaker 5 (02:26:37):
You know Yankees all right, pivoting over.

Speaker 2 (02:26:41):
As I always point out, I'm a lucky man for
getting a copy of your column ahead of time. It
comes out tonight at midnight. What if freedom is suspended?
A lot of rhetorical questions built into the column, But
I appreciate it because suspension of the root of habeas
corpus is an amazingly serious, serious thing. If you remove
habeas corpus, we're all thrown to Franz cop is the trial.

(02:27:01):
We could be held without even knowing why we are
being held. And that is a profound injustice.

Speaker 9 (02:27:07):
Correct, It's a profound injustice.

Speaker 19 (02:27:10):
It's a violation of your natural right to fairness from
the government, and it's an express violation of the Constitution.

Speaker 9 (02:27:16):
So haneas corpus, for.

Speaker 19 (02:27:18):
Those dwelling on the Latin is the principle by which
anyone detained by the government, whether it's for spitting on
the sidewalk or a mass murder, can require the party
doing the detaining to bring you to court and justify
the detention, so you know the charges against you, and

(02:27:39):
so a judge is satisfied that there is it's a
real charge, it's not fanciful, and there's serious evidence against you.
Without the right to habeas corpus, we're back to the
divine right of kings, who would lock up whoever they
want it. Although even these British monarchs are recognized hateus
corpus because it's in Magna Carta, which we signed in

(02:28:00):
twelve fifteen. But without habeas corpus, we have that Franz
Kafka situation where people can be arrested without trial and
just sitting in a jail celle, not knowing what the
charges are against them, no independent judge reviewing it.

Speaker 9 (02:28:17):
Who and under what circumstances can suspend habris corpus.

Speaker 19 (02:28:21):
What's been suspended three times by American presidents, and all
three times the Court said, wait a minute, only Congress
can do it, and only Congress can do it when
there's invasion or rebellion. That's in the Constitution itself. So
when Lincoln did it, he was forced to have Congress

(02:28:44):
authorize it. Then he tried to employ it in the
North where there was no invasion or rebellion.

Speaker 9 (02:28:52):
Then he was assassinated.

Speaker 19 (02:28:54):
Then the case made its way to the Supreme Court
and they invalidated FDR used it to incarcerate Japanese Americans
in one of the lowest.

Speaker 9 (02:29:02):
Points in Supreme Court history.

Speaker 19 (02:29:03):
The court went, along with its subsequent courts, have reversed
that ruling. A subsequent Congress condemned it and compensated all
the Japanese Americans who were detained.

Speaker 9 (02:29:14):
George W.

Speaker 19 (02:29:15):
Bush attempted to do it right after nine to eleven,
saying we were invaded. Whereupon the lawyer's challenging this said,
your honor, I was in Federal Court in Lower Manhattan
on nine to twelve, the day after nine to eleven,
so the courts are able to sit. Therefore, there was
no invasion or rebellion, and the Supreme Court invalidated it.

(02:29:40):
This is very very dangerous talk in a very very
dangerous area.

Speaker 9 (02:29:44):
If the White House thinks it can do this just
to facilitate the removal of unlawfully present persons in the
United States, well this will spread like wildfire.

Speaker 19 (02:29:56):
This will to transform the country from a democracy to
a anarchy.

Speaker 9 (02:30:00):
If the White House can pick and choose.

Speaker 19 (02:30:02):
Because they're saying they can pick and choose, they're saying
that they're not going to suspend it for everybody, and
they're saying they're only going to suspend it if they
don't like the way judges rule. I mean, that is
simply a reprehensible attitude which defies, defies the president's obligation
to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.

Speaker 2 (02:30:21):
Well, it flies in the face of the purpose of
being able to suspend habeas corpus in the first instance.

Speaker 19 (02:30:27):
So, but I guess when you know, Okay, So Congress
has defined invasion or rebellion as a state of affairs
so calamitous that the courts can't sit, which is why
being in court the day after nine to eleven.

Speaker 9 (02:30:44):
Defeated George W. Bush's use of it.

Speaker 19 (02:30:46):
When FDR suspended Habeas corpus just for Japanese Americans, just
on the West coast, there obviously was.

Speaker 9 (02:30:54):
No invasion or rebellion.

Speaker 19 (02:30:57):
He said he feared an invasion or rebellion, and the
court bought that nonsense.

Speaker 2 (02:31:05):
It was a very low point in America's history. And
you know, if they can do it to the Japanese Americans.
My father had a dear friend, a golfing buddy his
who was a very small child, and he was put
in an internment camp because he was of Japanese descent.
He was born in America.

Speaker 19 (02:31:19):
These people were as American as Fdr, as American as
apple Pie.

Speaker 9 (02:31:23):
Their ancestors came from Japan. It was one of the
greatest acts of racism outside of slavery in American history,
and it was done by the hero of the Liberal Democrats,
Franklin Donna Roosevelt.

Speaker 2 (02:31:37):
Well, and I think it boils down to this. If
the person is is incarcerated, they have the habeas corpus
right they go into court. The government should be able
to present evidence on exactly why they got arrested. He's
a criminal, We have the evidence. This is why we
picked him up and locked him up.

Speaker 19 (02:31:54):
It's a very simple proceeding. It's taken so seriously. You know,
we have this in New Jersey. If you're in the
middle of a trial, you stop the trial to review
the habeas proceeding because you don't want a person to
spend one minute more in jail than.

Speaker 9 (02:32:13):
Is justified under the law.

Speaker 19 (02:32:15):
You immediately address the habeast proceeding. Now, not all judges
do that, but most do, and nearly all will do
it on the same day that they receive the application.
If the government knows that there's no habeas corpus, then
it knows it doesn't.

Speaker 9 (02:32:36):
Need evidence in order to arrest.

Speaker 5 (02:32:38):
That can arrest wherever the.

Speaker 2 (02:32:39):
Hell it wants, right, and that comes down to the
There but for the grace of God go I. Which
is why I'm one hundred percent on your side on
this one, no wavering whatsoever. You got evidence, show it.
There's a reason for me to be picked up and
locked up. Tell the judge exactly why. And you can't
do that. I shouldn't be in a cell, judge. Editor Politano,
appreciate what you do. Man. Thanks for the column and

(02:33:00):
I always enjoy reading it, and I always enjoy your
conversations each and every week.

Speaker 19 (02:33:03):
Oh and by the way, right back at you, Brian
go Pete rose into the.

Speaker 9 (02:33:09):
Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (02:33:10):
And I forgot to tell you. Congressman Thomas mess he
did tell me to tell you, he said hello, So
I'm want to get that out.

Speaker 12 (02:33:15):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (02:33:16):
I love him.

Speaker 19 (02:33:17):

very few others in the Congress are his opposite number.

Speaker 9 (02:33:25):
Also from Kentucky, Senator Ranpaul comes to mind.

Speaker 2 (02:33:28):

Speaker 2 (02:35:00):
Kashi have eight fifty one at fifty five care set
talk station if you want to call, got time for
a phone call, but I wanted to get this in.
I what a reminder of fifty five care sea dot com.
A couple of reasons if you didn't get a chance
to listen to Jack either did and talk about big
pharma lobbyists on the heels of Donald Trump's executive or
of most Favored Nation status for pharmaceutical prices. If somebody

(02:35:20):
else is paying less, then we pay that much less.
And the argument behind that is, you know from the
socialist countries out in the world, they get a much
lower pharmaceutical price because the pharmaceutical companies, I guess, agree
to charge socialist countries less for the pharmaceuticals. Meanwhile, you
and I are shouldering the burden of all the research
and development they claim is going to go away if

(02:35:41):
we aren't charged exorbitant amounts for our pharmaceuticals. I don't
necessarily buy into that at all. Neither did Jack. Jack
of course pointed out if there is money to be
made out in the world with research and development, the
pharmaceutical companies will do it. They do that all the time,
pick and choose where the big demand might be with
the research which they're doing. You know, a lot of
people have this problem, and the joke was viagra. Of

(02:36:06):
course they put money for research and development on that.
And if there's another concept like that out in the
world where a lot of people are going to flock
and beat down the doors to buy the drug, they
are going to fund it, but maybe make the socialist
countries pay more, just because they have finite a number
of dollars. We have a finite number of dollars too,
And in fact, after talking to Congress from Massy podcast

(02:36:27):
fifty five carres he dot com. You know that we
spend far more than the money that they take in
a lot more and thanks to the Republicans being weakned
and afraid of their own constituents or refused to pairaback
government spending. So we're on the same trajectory we've been
on spending at post COVID levels. I mean, the cuts
that they're offering are just nothing by way of how

(02:36:50):
much spending is coming with the current Reconciliation bill, which
is why Congress from Massie explained he's a no vote
on it. Anyhow, fifty five cars he dot com for that.
Another reminder, please if you didn't get a chance to
read it or hear me read it on the radio.
The Decivilizing of America the op ed piece there by
Victor David Hanson or Davis Hanson, it's just I just

(02:37:10):
think it speaks volumes on really the tragic shift we're
going on in the road that we're going down and
here in America. Let's see here continuing a theme of
the Trump administration, Late Lee Zelden, the EPA administrator is
planning to roll back the incentives that automobile manufacturers are
given for a stupid feature. I hate it. It's that

(02:37:34):
start engine start stop system. You know, when you get
to a red light and your engine turns off, and
then when you take your foot off the break, it
turns back on again. Apparently nobody likes that. Now, if
you want to offer it as an option, and I'm
interested in saving a tiny fraction of my of money
for the the mileage that apparently it does impact it It

(02:37:54):
just a tiny bit improves fuel economy by as much
as up to five percent, but you really have to
be undergoing stop and go driving otherwise it's not doing
anything for you. But the automobile manufacturers get climate participation
credits for putting that in, so the EPA doesn't require it,

(02:38:15):
but granted automaker's fuel economy credits for adopting the technology.
So that may go the way of the DODO. Along
with something that Donald Trump previously did, which is getting
rid of the appliance efficiency standards, which I embrace. Now,
do you want to buy a low flow shower head,
for example, if you do buy one, but the APA

(02:38:36):
mandates maximum flow amounts, which quite often are insufficient. So
the Trump administration several days ago moved to rescind Appliant's
efficiency standards, saying they're unnecessary radical Green Agenda policies, water
conservation requirements for fasted showers, bathubs, and toilets to make
bathroom plants is more expensive and less functional, which indeed
they do. How many times have you had to flush

(02:38:58):
a modern toilet more than one to get it to work?
Is that really environmentally beneficial? Why does it take two
hours to wash dishes in the modern dishwasher when previously
it only took about forty five minutes. That's the limited
water that they'll allow in dishwashers. They also cost more
and they don't last as long. So how about making

(02:39:20):
both options available? Do you want a very high efficiency washer?
Do you want one that only uses a gallon of
water or whatever and doesn't have sufficient heating to dry
the dishes? Out here? That options right here. If you
want an old school one that washes your dishes in
virtually no time by comparison, well you can buy that too.
Let the market forces dictate on this and you can

(02:39:40):
choose on your own. So glad to see them moving
in that direction.
