55KRC Thursday Show - Congressman Davidson, Steve Goodin, Jay Ratliff

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Five o five. If you about k r C DE
talk station Fridays.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Will.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Why is everyone so stupid? Yeah? I wish you could
play the whole quote on that one. Good morning, Brian
Thomas right here. Glad to be glad to see Dr
Strecker in the production booth, Rey Blogs, and glad to
see Congressman Warren Davidson is going to join the program
this morning. I always enjoy having Congressman Davidson on the show.
Seven oh five. For the Congressman, we'll talk about the

(00:50):
Trump Recisions Package vote. We will talk about giving more
weapons to Ukraine. Any possibility that's going to do any good?
Some say, most say no, absolutely not. Did he sign
under the Massy Epstein bill. Talked to Congress from Massy
yesterday about that a bill to just well, let everybody
have the Epstein documents. Why not Donald Trump screaming and

(01:11):
yelling about it, seeing everybody's falling for some sort of
conspiracy on the heels of many Republicans for years, claiming
that there was a whole bunch going on behind the
scenes and that we need to find out about it.
I don't think it bothered, hurts anything to let us
have the documents and move on with our lives. And
Congress from Massy's bill protects the child pornography from going
out any of the sensitive information. There's exceptions to what

(01:33):
needs to be produced in there. Anyway, I made a
sound argument for you yesterday at least I thought you
can pull the podcast up at fifty five cares dot
com if you didn't have an opportunity to listen to
Congressman Thomas Massey yesterday live.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
One of my favorite folks, Steve Gooden from Porter Wright,
our legal expert. We will talk to Steve, not just
about him running from Cincinnai City councilor to the Charter Committee,
which he is. And I think you'd be a great
opportunity for the city in the Cincinnati moving a different direction,
a better direction. Vote Steve Gooden. But on the legal
discussions we'll have with Steve. If it's proven Biden's people

(02:09):
use the auto pen, and of course using the auto
pen without the express approval of and behest of President
Biden at the time, are his pardons and executive orders
null and void? And I raise that specter in the
context of how do you get it before the court.
And it seems that at least from my perspective right now.

(02:31):
There could be other legal challenges out there in the
world that I'm not aware of, But from a theoretical standpoint,
I thought Senator ran Paul had the best opportunity to
do it by going after and trying to prosecute Anthony Fauci,
who was given a preemptory pardon. Doctor Fauci is exempting
free from all liability and connection with his work and
his role in the Biden administration goes back years all

(02:55):
swirrels around gain of function research, and Senator ran Paul
seems to have him dead to rights on his claimed
that Fauci lied to Congress. You've got emails saying Wuhan
Institute of Rology was doing gain of function research, an
email from doctor Fauci prior to several years prior to
him testifying, and he goes in front of the committee

(03:16):
and he testifies that no, there was no gain of
function research being done at the will On Instudi of Rology.
I mean, obviously, poll are opposite statements from the same
guy entered Joe Biden's pardon or was it Joe Biden's
pardon which doctor Fauci of course will wave around in
any effort to prosecute him. I'm free from prosecution. I've

(03:37):
been given a preemptory pardon by the Biden administration. You
can't go after me. At which time Senator Paul can
say no, that pardon is null and void. That presents
the legal argument before a court. An evidentiary issue becomes
important in that particular case, So one opportunity to get
in front of a court. I don't know how a
court would rule. This is completely uncharted waters, and as

(04:02):
far as the evidence concerned, it's going to be difficult
to show one way or another. Joe Biden could pop
his head up and say, I specifically approve that I
told them that. While that was not documented elsewhere in
the emails or other communications, it would be Joe Biden's
word against anybody else's. But the other people to whom
he communicated the approval for the use of the autopen
they'd have to testify as well. Did they get that

(04:23):
specific instruction? Did Joe Biden specifically know that doctor Fauci
was getting a peremptory pardon? Did he order that peremptory
pardon to be signed by Autopen? Right now, all we
have our questions swirling about, which is why you need
the evidence. So it's going to be interesting. Steve good
will elaborate on that much better than I can. I'm
sure Jay Ratliff. It is Thursday, Jay Ratliffe. Passenger punches

(04:49):
United gate agent, knocking the gate agent unconscious. Delta Airline
lands the plane using artificial intelligence to establish more of
its ticket price I Delta Airlines plans on using AI
to establish more of its ticket prices for the purpose
of maximizing profits. Of course, the initial Air India crash

(05:10):
report is out, and it raises even more questions. An
interesting op ed on that by Homan Jenkins Junior in
The Wall Street Journal, which dovetails interestingly to the artificial
intelligence use, but also an ongoing discussion we've had with
Jay Ratliff over the years, do we need pilotless airplanes?

(05:31):
And a rather disturbing account of quite a few of
the air disasters that have happened by Homan Jenkins. Now
he points out, in so far as the initial investigation,
the initial report on the Air India crash contains no
detailed timeline of actions, no verbatim cockpit transcript. Rather, they

(05:53):
did release information that the fuel supply switches for the
planes to engines were manu turned off about one second apart,
and of course seconds after the plane left the runway.
And in the Wall Street Journal they have a separate
article showing how these switches work. I mean, you have
to pull them out and push them down, so there's

(06:15):
there's several little actions you have to take to get
these switches to go into the off position. You just
can't bump into them, and I'm glad they're designed that way.
So they were turned off one second apart, and without
identifying who was speaking to whom in the cockpit, the
report says, the voice recording one of the pilots is

(06:37):
heard asking the other why did he cut off the
fuel supply switches. The other pilot responded that he did
not cut off the fuel supply switches, and Holman's upines rights,
it's impossible wherever the Indian investigators weren't aware of the

(06:57):
certain history here. And this is where the disturbing stuff
comes in, making me not want to fly even more
than I don't want to fly anyway. It's been twenty
five years since the Egyptian government rejected a US finding
that the crash of Egypt Are in ninety ninety off
a long Island was deliberate by its pilot, described as

(07:18):
an active mass murder that killed two hudred and seventeen people.
Aviation expert William Langwishing later wrote on that one the
feeling in Egypt was that all Arabs runner attack. In
other words, we don't want to say that it was
intentional conduct on the part of the pilot, even though
we kind of know it was, because we don't want
the microscope of global opinion to focus on some crazy

(07:43):
cockpit Arab guy. Likewise, he writes, Indonesia issued no finding
about a nineteen ninety nine silk Are seven thirty seven
crash that the US National Transportation Safety Board called pilot suicide.
China Eastern Flight fifty seven thirty five no finding by

(08:04):
the Chinese government, despite leaked evidence showing the twenty twenty
two crash was intentional. The notorious disappearance of MH three
seventy and twenty fourteen no conclusion from the Malaysian government
in a report left out that left out evidence that
the pilot had practiced on his home computer, departing from
the flight plan in nearly identical fashion. Exhausting his fuel

(08:28):
and crashing into the sea. Well, it's a little tasty
piece of evidence you might expect to be in the
final report, is it? I just reading those in a row,
you go to these crazy people that are intentionally they're
committing suicide and murder at the same time. By contrast,

(08:49):
French and German authorities concluded very quickly that the twenty
fifteen crash of German Wings flight ninety five twenty five
was a deliberate act by its first officer. That's regarding
Air France four forty seven, A three thirty smashed into

(09:09):
the South Atlantic at high speed in two thousand and nine.
The crew blame for that one. Likewise, US and French
investigators in the separate reports in twenty twenty two took
lead investigator Ethiopia a task for pretending away the critical
role of pilot error in the twenty nineteen crash of
Ethiopian Airlines Boeing seven thirty seven. Max. Now, reading those

(09:32):
all in a row, and I know they happened over
a period of decades, does it kind of give you
some concern? Live in a world filled with folks that
have mental health problems. I don't want my pilot to
be one of those folks. But that's when he pivots

(09:53):
over to maybe some solutions for this. If our investigators
are trying to protect their flags and their country and
from people analyzing it through the lens of race or something,
we're not going to get the truth of the facts
on this. So Holand's asked what sort of rhetorically, I guess,
does it even make sense to keep trying and eventually

(10:14):
failing to place two highly skilled pilots in the cockpit
when the job consists of letting the plane fly itself
while they're expensively acquired to maintain skills simply atrophy. And
why is the potential for active control from the ground
not being pursued, as well as the full advantages of
satellite based navigation and continuous data transfer to make it impossible.

(10:35):
Mysteries like the Malaysian Airlines disappearance, remember the Malaysia flight.
They didn't even know where in the hell it crashed
into the ocean. They couldn't find it. There was no
radar or there was no connectivity over the swath of
ocean where that plane disappeared. And that always struck me
as odd in a day of modern technology like this,
you'd think that these planes would be tracked twenty four

(10:56):
to seven every moment that they're in the air. It's
legitimate question to ask many points that should should. It
seem strange that the driverless car will likely be commonplace
before the public is invited to the necessary conversation about
the pilotless airliner. Never mind that vehicles on the ground

(11:16):
deal with dense traffic second by second, radical changes in
direction and speed, and infinitely more opportunities for a collision.
Those are all very valid points, But also, autobiles don't
hold two hundred three hundred plus people at the same time.
They're not going hundreds of miles an hour. At least
they shouldn't be. Airbus and Boeing have been done by

(11:39):
aviation fans for LED's lack of technological verve in producing
replacements for the seven, thirty seventh and A three twenties.
Yet he writes silence reigns of the most important question
whether the next generation jet should continue to be designed
around a pilot and a pilot's snail like information absorption.

(12:02):
Did the air crash Airfrance and Ethiopian crashes perfectly airworthy
planes destroyed after minor indicator failures forced apparently befuddled pilots
to take over flying by hand. It says perhaps an
AI voice might have explained to each the readings that
they were badly misinterpreting, might have an unciated a simple
airmanship solution, largely consistent instruction, instructing the pilots to stop

(12:26):
doing the wrong thing. You think about the that seven
thirty seven Max crash where they changed the software. It
didn't bother explaining to pilots how to react to the plane.
When this software kicked in, the pilots ad the exact
opposite of what they were supposed to do under those circumstances,
and we lost two jets full of people. Artificial intelligence
it's everywhere these days. Is that an option? Could we

(12:49):
not have artificial intelligence screening at the pilots to do
what they're supposed to do when the software shows that
something is going wrong. That sounds like a reasonable solution.
So anyway, food for thought on that one. I am,
and I'm in agreement with Jay Ratlers prior conclusions that
a pilotless airplane does not sound comfortable, at least in

(13:15):
so far you know, psychologically speaking. Are computers better can
they do the job better than humans who are obviously
prone to not just error, but to becoming to turning
batcrap insane and desirous of killing themselves and other people
because of some psychological problem they got going on in
the world. Maybe it's something to learn from all this.

peycor Stadium. It's gonna cost you a whole lot more
than you really expected to get to that in a minute.
Don't go away.

This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Used to the humidity. I guess just shio five twenty
three on a Friday, A happy one too. Four hundred
and seventy million dollar renovation plan. That's right. Hamilton County's
contribution for the pay Corpse Stadium capped at three hundred
and fifty million dollars. Dan Monk covered WCPO and the

(14:23):
CPO team crunched the numbers on this and they're reporting
that well, well, hold on, it could end up costing
the county. Hamilton County w the Hamilton County taxpayer more
than one point one billion over twenty one years for
a stadium. The proposed new lease that was released calls

(14:45):
for the county to pay up to one hundred thirty
and thirty four million for the capital repairs. And then
here where the fun part comes in. Because we don't
have the money laying around in a pile, the county's going
to issue bonds to pay for its three hundred and
fifty million dollar contribution. Bonds mean interest payments. Interest payments
mean you're gonna pay a lot more than the borrowed money. Right, Uh, Thomas,

(15:07):
you'r mann'splaining, And according to wcpo's number crunchers, that's a
two hundred and ten million dollars in new interest expense
over fifteen years, bringing that total to five hundred and
sixty million dollars. Finally, they kind of reversed an earlier stance,

(15:28):
agreeing now to cover stadium operating expenses on the same
terms as the old terrible poorly negotiated one side of
the table wins the Bengals lease, which they say could
add up to four hundred and eighteen million additional dollars
for the Hamilton County taxpayers to pay Bengals in the NFL,

(15:54):
contributing one hundred and twenty million dollars toward the renovation
project and up to up to forty five million to
more rent if the deal ends up being extended for
twenty one years. But in the end, apparently the county
is going to be covering eighty seven percent of total
expenses the team covering thirteen CPO interviewed Joe Cobbs, professor

(16:14):
and chair at Sports Business Program at North Kentucky University,
who also reviewed their analysis at their request. He said,
I'm not in the negotiation. One of the challenges in
the county side is it doesn't seem like they're willing
to risk losing the Bengals and any negotiation. If you're
not willing to walk away from it, Dan, you have
pretty limited power, which I guess is why we collectively

(16:37):
are going to end up on the hook for about
one point one billion dollars. Is it worth it? You
probably know where I come down on that piece of

Oh look back to normal, Tom, Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
I almost feel like I should apologize when I missed
the day. I mean, the guy at worked yesterday, Like,
where the hell were you? This small like, what do
you mean, Well, you know, I do have a life.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Other than calling in appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Anyway, Good morning, Jimmy, I'll see you a little bit. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
I wanted to talk about this whole uh fear mongering
on the left about brown people and how they should
all be afraid and Trump's coming after you and Iace

(18:28):
is coming after you and all that garbage, and it's
exactly what it is. It's garbage. It's just a little
left trying to make something out of nothing. And you know,
you're it's like it's like if you're driving down the road,
if you're doing the speed limit, you got nothing to
worry about it. If you see a cop, you don't
got to slam on your bracelet, do ormy doing the
speed limit, you're fine.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
You know.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
If you're in the country legally, you're documented or your
natural citizen or whatever, then you got nothing to worry about.
If they come and ask you and check you. Hey,
you know understand what they're trying to clean up a mess.
You know, it's the way it is. You know, we
all get caught up, even even if even if white
males get caught up in some crap every once in

(19:11):
a while where we got it like, all right, here's
my ide, here's who I am, and uh you know,
this is why I'm here. Everything's okay, you know. Yeah,
uh so that's fine. You know, you you're faithful that
the uh the the powers that be or are are
trying to be diligent about who's in the country or
you know, who's it. Well, maybe you're working in a
security secured building or something. Wouldn't you want security to

(19:34):
check and make sure that the only people are supposed
to be there or there? I mean, it's it's just
common sense. This fear monitoring is just it's ridiculous. It's
a total waste of silence. And it's all coming from
the left. So don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
A gay appreciate it, Tom, And is it? Is it
brown people specifically that they're they're they're they're claiming or
being targeted. The last time I heard, there were you know,
ten to twenty million people that came across the previously
open border into the Bide administration. Two million known godaways.
I don't think they've ever been identified by ethnicity, and

(20:09):
I know that well. I don't believe traditionally Chinese people
are not considered brown people. And we do know the
twenty to thirty thousand million military age Chinese men came
across the southern border. I don't believe they fall into
that category. And of course I am certain that there
are illegal immigrants who across the border who have a

(20:29):
white colored skin, and maybe some Ukrainians struck over the border.
I think Russians predominantly, although not exclusively. You can't pay
with a broad wash when it comes to a country's
you know, the view, the visual look of any given
human being in any given country. Since we have a well,
and particularly here in the United States, sort of a

(20:49):
melting pot reality going on. We have people of all
shapes and colors and stripes and religions and ethnicities and everything.
So I believe it a bit racist to suggest that
our ice officials are only going after people of color. Now,
they're going after people who are here illegally, most notably
the ones that have committed crimes here illegally, regardless of

(21:10):
the color of their skin. Just frustrating, very frustrating. Anyway,
crazy story here locally, getting the local stories. A road
rage incident turned into a lot more Clima County Sheriff's
Office reporting that a man decided to follow the other
driver in this road range incident to her home. Thirty

(21:30):
year old Seth Schloter at a Wayne township, now facing
numerous charges. His first encounter with the victim July eleventh
on State Route seven to twenty seven near Stonewak Park.
Dam Witnesses said he stopped his vehicle, which his children
were in, which is another weird layer on this on

(21:52):
the road, and a woman honked her vehicle's horn and
drove around him. Right, No big deal, just walk away, right.
Joe Schluder, though, followed the woman to her home on
Lair Road, confronted a man at the home on the
front porch while his fearful wife ran behind the house.
I guess the man confronted was the husband trying to

(22:14):
de escalate the situation with this crazy guy. The Sheriff's
office said the man went to get his wife from
behind the home. Schluter, though, then decided to get his kids,
all of whom five years old or younger, out of
his vehicle and go into the victim's home while the
husband and wife were still out back. While in the home,

(22:34):
he damaged it and when the homeowners found him in
their house. The thirty year old the husband apparently, I'm sorry, no,
the Schluter guy hit the husband in the face. According
to Claremont Sheriff's Office report, Chief Deputy Mike White from
Clemont County Sheriff's Department. When they came back from behind
the residence, he entered the home and at that point

(22:55):
the mail inside ended up striking him. Schluder then grabbed
his kids and fled the scene. Round five point thirty
pm July eleventh, Clamaut County Sheriff's Office said deputies respond
to the lair Rode home and started investigating. They located
Schluoter following an arrangement with his following an arrangement with

(23:17):
his wife, and took him into custody at a convenience
store on State Route seven twenty seven. He wouldn't make
a statement corner Sheriff's Office. Schlooter now facing the following
charges aggravated battery, aggravated menacing, assault, burglary, endangering children, and
operating a mownor vehicle while under the influence. Yeah, the

(23:40):
little voice, the common sense and reason is the first
thing that shut down when you're liquored up shoulder held
without bon According to the climat County Sheriff's Office, man
shot himself in the emergency department lobby of Saint Elizabeth
Comington Hospital. Happened on July sixth, team police report. Officers

(24:01):
respond to the hospital for report of a man with
a gun two thirty in the morning. According to the
statement from the officers, within seconds of the officer's arrival,
the man turned the weapon on himself and died by suicide.
No one else harmed. Cases were diverted away from the
hospital for several hours, but operations returned to normal by
quarter to eight in the morning. Two What the hell

stack and stupid bluff the headline Ada County, we got
a boys the Idaho where the Ada County Sheriff's office
knows security cameras don't always give them oscar worthy footage.
It's written, but the behavior they are investigating decidedly not
a joke. Detectives looking into several reports involving a suspect

(26:55):
on what has been described as a peg style electric
dirt bike. Person approaches women and slaps or grabs them
on the buttocks as he passes by in Since Curve
between June eighteenth and July third and the South Boise area.

(27:16):
Suspect described as white guy wearing dark clothing often all black,
and gloves been seen wearing a ski mask resembling either
the call of duty ghost skull or a venom style design,
neither of which I know what looked like. So not

(27:36):
a call duty guy, and I don't know what a
venom looks like. Looks like Spider Man. Joe says, Okay,
black instead of red. Apparently he's the RECIDI of his
butt squeezer. They're asking for help. They're asking for help
from the public. They have any information to give the
detective a shout kind of I figure most people in

my listening audience would have no connection with Poise, Idaho.
Just saying that, although I welcome listeners from Boise if
you want to tune in. Florida man facing charges for
trying to poison his ex girlfriend with bleach. Here's the
County Sheriff's office says, Edwin Gooseman, twenty three years old,
arrested in charge with felony poisoning ves get to say

(28:23):
was attempting to poison his ex girlfriend by putting bleach
in her vodka bottle and cosmetics. Body camera video shared
by the Sheriff's Office shows deputies questioning the ex girlfriend
and her family about the situation. Woman can be heard
telling deputies he my ex boyfriend put bleach into the

(28:44):
Teeto's bottle that I had, and my uncle nearly took
a shot out of me, almost swallowed it, but he
realized there was bleach in there. Ex girlfriend can be
seen showing the vodka bottle in question to the deputy.
She said she poured it out, but it still smelled
like et bleach. Woman explained the deputies that she and

(29:04):
Gooseman had just broken up and when she got off work,
she went to pick up her things, but Goozman had
already put all of her items in the driveway. According
to the Sheriff's office, Gooseman also admitted to using the
bleach in his ex's skin care products. In the Sheriff's
office post, their quota of saying, this is not how

(29:26):
you break up idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Sleep. Really,
it's just so puzzling to me to just like to
every day go through this decond stupid and realize the
epics stupidity of people and their refusal to just let go.

(29:47):
You broke up, it's over. Walk away, forget about them,
don't go visit them, don't go driving around their street,
don't pull up in their driveway, don't put bleach in
their food and and their cosmetics. God Almighty, how difficult
a concept. Yes, walk the hell away. You got the
rest of your life ahead of you. You're gonna dwell
in the past on what is over and done with? Boohoo?

(30:08):
Well is me? The world's an imperfect place. Relationships sometimes
don't work out. God Almighty. Sorry, had to get that
out of my system. Don't know why I put me
over the edge of this morning. But it's always always
baffling to me, something not baffling, something always that I

(30:29):
embraced saving money. And actually, when you save heap loads
of money and I'm gonna tell you how you can
do that, it puts a big smile on my face.
I like saving thousands of dollars if you got two
things in front of you. They're exactly the same, except
one just looks prettier than the other. But they perform
the same function, they provide the same result. One costs

(30:49):
you four thousand dollars more than the other one, and
you gotta get it done. I'm talking about imaging, echo, cardigram, MRI,
ST scan, ultrasound. We all have to get them. It's
been through Affordable Imaging Services images a whole bunch of times.
They always are fine. My doctor has never had a
problem with them. It's the same equipment hospitals use. It
just costs a fraction of the hospital price is going

got out to Seattle. Seattle judge ordered a popular beach

(33:25):
now closed because of public sex and nudity ongoing King
Kennedy Spirit Court Judge Samuel Chung gave the city Seattle
two weeks to handle the ongoing inappropriate behavior at Denny
Blaine Park, commonly known as a Newdiest Spot. It's been

(33:46):
that way for like fifty years and apparently according to
the reporting Daily Mail, Martha Williams, popular among the LGBTQ community,
says it's not specificallysated by Seattle Parks and Recreation as
a clothing optional park, but apparently it's been dominated by

(34:07):
clothing optional people. Residents in the area of the park
reported an escalation of what they describe as aggressive sexual
behaviors over the past several years, so they organized a
group called Danny Blaine Park for All to try to
address the challenges of people engaging in lude behavior. So
part of the lawsuit that the group filed, they provided
video evidence of people pleasuring themselves openly in the park.

(34:32):
Dear what the hell? In an open letter of the
community detailing some of the troubling incidents, including a man
exposing himself to a female neighbor while making sexually aggressive remarks.
And here's an interesting one, Joe maybe setting a record
in the video showing another nude man pleasuring himself on

(34:52):
the hood of his car for over six hours. How
long is the penalty in NHL? Joe? And in like
three minutes or something like that the most it's five.
My friends in the listening audience, to our fans of

(35:13):
slapshot know exactly where I'm going with that one. Anyway.
Four of public masturbation incidents occurred in a single week
this March, according to the open letter of the community,
has been plagued my ongoing trespassing, indecent exposures, and what
they describe as menacing behavior. Judge ruled it sexual behavior
and nudity at the park constitutes a public nuisance. In
his preliminary injunction issued on Monday, spokesperson for the group

(35:36):
the Eat Any Plane Park for All who said, at minimum,
we need the law upheld, giving us a give us
a city an opportunity for fourteen days to get a
plan together. So that's what the judge is asking for.
These sexual misconducts, lout activity, masturbation, and public sex acts
need to stop. However the city wants to do that,
that's up to them, they said. They said they brought

(35:59):
the lawsuit out of exasperation. They apparently exhausted every possibility
of trying to get the city to step in and
handle the issue. But it's not clear now how they're
going to address the problem. Mayor Bruce Harrald, we recognize
the historical significance of that park. I've also made it
clear that some of the unacceptable behaviors, some of the
lewd behaviors, there's no place for that in any park.

(36:20):
We'll see what the city attorney's office how they proceed.
Nudity considered generally speaking legal in Seattle, but according to
the judge, nudity must be addressed as part of the
city's planning to combat nuisances at the park. Now there's

(36:41):
an opposing group, of course, that is in favor of
I guess the nudity Denny Blaine Park for all. They
claim that the judge is rolling erroneously links harassment and
other misconducts to the general nude usage of the park.

(37:02):
In their statement is that an enormously overwhelming majority of
nude usage of the beach by thousands of satellites each year,
is friendly, legal, and positive. Our aim is to ensure
the case and the city's response focuses solely on actual
criminal activity, public masturbation, and sexual harassment, which cannot be
conflated with mere nudity. They also claim that non sexual

(37:26):
nudity is protected free expression expression under the First Amendment. Well,
we'll let Judge Chung and the city work that one out.

Love Steve Gooden with the Law Firm. Reporter right does
great legal analysis here on the Morning Show, breaking things

(38:59):
down and easily understandable terms conditions. If it's proven Biden's
people use the auto pen without his specific authority and authorization,
are his pardons and executive orders null and void. This
is a bridge that has not been crossed before, so
speculations to some degree on the part of Steve Gooden,
and I will also talk about his run for Cincinny
City Council as a charter right and I wish him

(39:21):
all the best in the world on that he would
be a great councilman. He was in that role at
one point, didn't get elected though after he was appointed,
but a demonstrably good man and smart man. Jay Ratliffe,
iHeart media aviation expert, joining us to talk about a
passenger punching a United Airlines gate agent knocking him unconscious

(39:42):
artificial intelligence. Delta Airline is going to be using it
to maximize profits. The initial India air crash report is
out mentioned that in the last hour raising more questions
than providing answers and finally hub delays. Let just go
back to that Holman Jenkins Junior article about all the
planes that have been intentionally crashed by crazy pilots, suicide

(40:03):
and murder flights. Just when you read one after another,
you kind of get well, it freaks me out. Anyway,
a lot of control in the hands of a pilot.
Question whether modern technology should be incorporated into modern aircraft
that would allow perhaps remote control operation from the ground.
I like the idea of having sort of a universal
tracking system, so we know, and planes disappear, we don't

(40:25):
know where they crashed, that we might have some understanding
of where they did disappear and where they crashed. Anyhow,
let us see here Senate passed the you know, it's
nine billion dollars. It's a drop in the water. I
don't understand whether this is such a big deal when
we're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars being spent

(40:47):
by federal government. But the Senate did pass the plan
to cancel nine billion dollars in federal funding for foreign
aid programs. In public media, this a lot of the
Doge type of recommendations. Fifty one, forty eight vote to
thirty this morning. They were up at two thirty this morning,
and of course along party lines, and of course Republicans

(41:08):
Susan Collins and main Lisa Murkowski of Alaska jumping on
board with the Democrats in opposition to the bill, which
has almost become the norm these days. Now it's going
over the House must pass by Friday or the executive
branch is supposed to release the funding. So we got
a bit of a deadline there. Republican senators apparently defeated
a bunch of revisions that the Democrats sought. Some Republicans

(41:30):
wanted to restore funding to cuts identified by Trump's Department
of Government Efficiency Report. Effectively, the bill asked lawmakers to
claw back funding previously doled out, including seven point nine
billion dollars from foreign aid programs. And they've identified previously
some of these foreign aid programs, and when you read them,

(41:52):
you're like, wait, we actually this money was actually approved previously.
How could that possibly happen? Much like everything else DOGE
is identified, Like wait a minute, we're paying for that.
It's almost as if you're put in a room and
you're asked to do a creative writing project and come
up with the most batcrap insane program that you can
absolutely think of in your wildest imagination. And that's the

(42:15):
kind of programs we actually allocated money for. No It's
not going to be the end of the world when
this money does not go out into the world. Plan
also is going to rescind one point one billion dollars
from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Oh my god, We're
all going to die. How is it? The United States
of America, with the First Amendment right and a free
exercise right is funding media. Corporation of Public Broadcasting created

(42:42):
under the Johnson administration back in nineteen sixty seven. Johnson
had a statement issue at the time it was approved.
It will get to part of its support from our government,
but it will be carefully guarded from government or from
party control. It will be free, and it will be independent,
and it will be long to all of our people. Right.

(43:03):
But the people that run public broadcasting as this quote
unquote seemingly independent agency free of government control, they know
where the money's coming from. They're peddling a big government
narrative because they know they're Well, if we don't con
pedal the big government narrative where funding is going to
get cut off. Look, the funding is being cut off, huh,
not going to harm them. They get most of the
vast majority of their money from donations from corporations and

(43:26):
you the people anyway you think the end of the
world was coming. Of course, Republicans have long criticized MPRE
and PBS because of its liberal bias. Anyhow, Murkowski and Collins,
the ones that voted with the Democrats, couldn't salvage most
of the funding, although they tried it. An amendment they

(43:51):
proposed which would reduce the cuts to the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting from one point billion down to eight point
three million, shot down forty seven to fifty one. Of course,
Murkowski Collins the only Republicans voting yes on that amendment.
Senate majority of Leader John Thune said the Senate was
doing it's part to cut Waiste out of the budget,

(44:12):
calling it a small but important step toward fiscal sanity.
I'll agree with him. It's small, it's symbolic. At least,
it's a cut, putting some flesh on the bones of
how much this cut amounts to nine billion in cuts
one tenth of one percent of the roughly seven trillion

(44:36):
dollar federal budget annual federal budget, which seven trillion is
not enough. They always go into the hole and put
us further in debt to cover the nut on all
the additional spending they engage in, including spending that was
cut yesterday by the Senate or will be cut if
the House passes it. Vast majority of that spending social Security, Medicare,

(44:58):
and related health programs, as well as the trillion dollars
interest on the growing debt that we hold now. They
did reach an agreement earlier to save four hundred million
dollars for funding for the pepfar HIV AIDS relief program
and funding from Eternal Health. Malaria and tuberculosis also will

(45:22):
be explicitly protected by new language, according to people familiar
with the verbiage and the language in the Senate proposal.
So all this angst and concern over a mere nine
billion dollars just unbelievable and kind of a related point

(45:58):
over the State Department where they're trying to cut the agency.
After the Supreme Court gave the green light for the
trub administration to cut jobs, State Department officials set out
to trim the agency what they call the biggest reorganization
since the Cold War. It took them months to try
to figure out the total number of people that even
work in the State Department. One senior State Department official

(46:20):
speaking with reporters and a briefing, it took us three
months to get a list of the people that actually
work in the building. They couldn't tell you how many
people work there. Official said, it's sort of scary as
a taxpayer, as a public servant to think that we
don't even know how many employees we have. This is
a national security agency, you know, who are these people?

(46:42):
Great rhetorical question. Apparently we're going to trimp about three
thousand people from the State Department. Half already took a
voluntary buy out, the other half given reduction enforced riff notices,
meaning you're fired. The idea, official said, was to put
a maximum of twelve clearances on any piece of paper,

(47:07):
meaning documents would have to go through twelve layers approval
instead of the ready forty to fifty layers that they
currently have to go through now. Departments apparently had dozens
of different offices handling human resources, and when a new
employee was hired, they were accepting fax records on their
past work with other agencies. Official said, it's crazy that

(47:30):
an apartment that tasked with so many critical diplomatic national
security functions with a fifty dollars a fifty billion dollar
plus budget is running its affairs this way. Official said.
Some of these regional offices with this sort of functional
Civil liberties, civil society, Bureaus of Democracy, human rights, labor, population, refugees,

(47:54):
and migration each had their own regional offices. In addition
to the country desk regional bureau, every independent bureau and
office had its own executive director, its own HR department,
its own payments. We were making payments out of like
sixty plus different offices. Apparently, the officials shuttered a diplomat's

(48:18):
in resident program, determining it to be, in their words,
a cushy jobs or cushy job. Official said, State Department
employees are getting paid to go hang out at Georgetown
and sort of recruit for the foreign Service without any
sort of metrics or accountability. Unbelievable. Critics warning the cuts

(48:44):
of the diplomatic cor could damage US presence globally and
seed soft power to China. However, one official replied saying, hey,
a climate change office is not countering China. Amen, that
office was not doing that was countering China or serving
the national interest. China has overtaken the US and a
number of those countries. So I would argue growth that

(49:07):
the State Department has not coincided with growth of outcomes
for American taxpayers. Right Eric wants to know have they
ever done a mandatory fire drill at that building? Don't
you need a roster? I'm gonna go with no, and
you should, but apparently they didn't six sixteen. Right now,

Chuck ingramon fifty five KROS the talk station. It is
six twenty one here fifty five care Sey Dog Station.
I'm very happy Thursday to you. One of the topics
talking about was Steve Gooden. Can the pardons and executors
become null and void if it's determined bout Joe Biden
didn't have any connection to him, good question to ask him.

(52:04):
I'm looking forward to having Steve to talk about that
coming up in the eight o'clock hour on the heels
of what happened just yesterday. Anthony Bernhal don't know if
you know who that person is, described as Jill Biden's
work husband. He was an aide to Jill Biden during
the Biden administration. He refused to answer questions yesterday from

(52:26):
how House lawmakers that are investigating the cover up of
Biden's mental decline. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right to
us avoid self incrimination. Number two in the long list
of people who are going to be doing this. Nothing
to see here subpoena to appear in part of the
House investigation into biden aides who covered up his mental
decline and who also may have actually acted as the

(52:50):
president he, along with Jill Biden, making decisions that the
President was supposed to be making oversight. Government Reform Committee
Chairman James Comer called it, well, unfortunately, that was quick.
This is the second witness that we brought in via
subpoena for a deposition that has pleaded the Fifth and
they've stated they're not going to answer any questions before

(53:11):
the interview. Commerce told reporters the committee wanted to understand
who authorized the use of the auto pen. They've been
arguing that some pardons and executive order as signed by
the autopenans that of Biden could be void. Again. Steve
Gooden on that topic later in the program, He said,
we want to understand why it was used so many times?
Why was it used when Joe Biden was even in
the White House. Did Joe Biden know who is using

(53:32):
the auto pen? He asked good questions questions you can't
get the answer to. When people assert their Fifth Amendment
right to be free of self incrimination? How could an
assistant to Jill Biden face criminal prosecution? Maybe we should
ask Steve Gooden about that as well. What crime are

(53:53):
they fearful of? Is it a crime to not tell
the American public that Joe Biden was in a mental
taym Is it a crime? I guess it would be
forgery to sign Joe Biden's name when Joe Biden didn't
specifically approve it. I guess maybe that's what it would
hinge on Comer asked him specifically, was mister Biden fit

(54:18):
to exercise the duties of the president and did any
unelected official or family member exercise the duties of the presidency,
Commerce said, We're going to continue our investigation. I think
the American people are concerned. They're concerned that there were
people making decisions in the White House are not only unelected,
but no one to this day knows who they were.

(54:42):
These are the puppet masters that you and I have
been talking about now for years and years. Who are
the puppet masters? Who's the one actually deciding things? Clearly
it wasn't Joe Biden. Representative Brian Byron Donald's Florida Republican
in the room for the interview, said, the two witnesses
hiding behind the Fifth Amendment, it's not just shocking, it's stunning,
and it demonstrates the level of corruption that was going

(55:02):
on in that administration. The chairman is being nice. I
don't have to be this corruption at the highest level,
because if you cannot say, answer a simple question about
Joe Biden's capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was
not in charge of his administration. Now, I know what
the law says about that. You know, you can't assume
or conclude that assertion of the Fifth Amendment is an

(55:23):
admission that you did something wrong. But under these circumstances,
most notably the doctor who asserted his Fifth Amendment right.
They had what was that guy's name? Doctor Kevin O'Connor
asked simple questions that seemed to implicate no one and
seemed to be related to nothing that would involve criminal
allegations of resulting against Doctor Kevin O'Connor still asserted his

(55:44):
Fifth Amendment right questions unrelated to the physician patient relationship.
I might point out because he hid behind that as well,
I can't talk about that physician patient relationship, and argument
that I would say is null and void because Joe
Biden authorized the release of his medical records to the public.
Medical records which did not include any reference to a

(56:05):
cognitive exam done by the aforementioned doctor. That was a
suspicious absence. But since he gave us all the other
informations blood pressures, fine, this is that's fine. How could
he assert the physician patient relationship? No idea. But that
was the corollary objection to answering the questions. One was

(56:25):
fifth Amendment. When I asked how the investigation has got
to proceed if the witnesses continue invoking their Fifth Amendment right,
comer said that there were other options on the table
didn't elaborate on what those options might be. One of
them would be to give them immunity from prosecution. Ah,
because if you give them immunity from prosecution, they cannot

(56:47):
assert their Fifth Amendment right to be free well of
incriminating themselves. Sorry, sucks to be you. You're not in charge.
You're not in jeopardy of getting charged with anything. See
this document. You're immune, So open up your mouth and
answer the damn questions. I'd be willing to go down

In big companies, and I've facilitated this process many times

they have to constantly balance supply and demand. The old

much resources in the business, too many people, too much equipment,

(01:01:54):
too much inventory. In order to keep profit where it
needs to be and to keep your business viable, you
need to start shedding resources if you're out of balance
for too long. If sales picks up, you better start
hiring people bringing on extra capital in order to keep
profits where they're going to be. Long otherwise you're going

(01:02:15):
to be on time. Delivery is going to go down.
Customers are going to get late, they're going to get frustrated.
They're going to fix your supply demand problem with you,
but for you. But the common theme is that there's
a profit motive in place in the government.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
There is none exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:02:31):
So matter of fact, their problem is I got to
spend all this money this year in order for me
to go back next year.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
And half for more.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
Yes, that is a fact, Jack.

Speaker 7 (01:02:40):
Yes, So controls over hiring and controls over who's working
and are even showing up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
As you could think about this.

Speaker 7 (01:02:50):
It's probably lack and almost non existent. So let's go
back to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. So when bad
ideas that stick around for one hundred years, or like
yesterday's call, let's see cafe standards or carbon emissions or
carbon offset credits, thank you Al Gore, when those come around,

(01:03:12):
those have to be pulled out by the route. But
here we go with the Republican victory is we're going
to trim one half of one percent from the Corporation
of Public Broadcasting versus end it, and then we'll cut
a magga cake and to my friend Rick.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Who said that I had to run for Central Committee.

Speaker 7 (01:03:31):
Yeah, I'll show up and after one ticket for Central
Committee please. And you know Central Committee has only been
around since nineteen eighty two. All my life, I wondered,
who are the shadow people behind the scenes that trot
six bad candidates out on stage and tell us snoring
a primary, pick one of these central by any of
those you know who it is, Central Committee.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
Central Committee. Yeah, well that's I mean, that's a Rick's
point in saying you should run for Central Committe because
you wouldn't do that.

Speaker 7 (01:03:58):
Well, the only thing I'd want to do with Central
Committee is shut it down. It's another bad idea that's
been around since nineteen eighty two. How about we let
the people decide everybody can run for a primary and
let the voters decide instead of you know, some bureaucrat
with the Republican Party, very deep in the bowels and
unnamed and nobody knows who they are.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
They decide for all of us Ohioans.

Speaker 5 (01:04:19):
Well, there six Republicans, choose one.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Yeah, they decide who's going to be endorsed to run.
But that doesn't mean you can't run, just means you're
not going to get the endorsement of the Republican Party.

Speaker 7 (01:04:28):
Eleven million people in Ohio and they're going to they're
the vetting crew that's going to get it down to
six and we don't know who they are. We're going
to turn that kind of power over to Central Committee.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
I understand your criticisms, but you know, we live in
a population that rarely even shows up to vote, let
alone pays enough tention to politics to separate the wheat
from the chaff in terms of the candidates are running
for office. I mean again, I'm not arguing with your point.
We should all be more politically engaged and make more
positive and inappropriate choices when it comes to who we're

(01:04:58):
going to vote for and who we want as candidate.
But I mean someone I guess their position is, well,
someone's got to do the laboring or of you know,
vetting these people, and that's how you end up. What
did we go ahead?

Speaker 7 (01:05:08):
What did we do prior to eighty two? Something was broken?
Or here's my here's my here's my concern. This is
like central planning, This is us moving towards communism. Oh
I was been around for a long time and nothing
was broken till nineteen eighty two. Whenever Central Committee got born.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
Was it a good idea?

Speaker 7 (01:05:25):
Was there somebody put their finger on exactly what was
the need to bring Central Committee around?

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
Well, if Rick's out there in the audience, maybe he
can provide a written response. He usually challenges in. Yeah,
he usually chimes in. He actually has called in before.
So Rick, if you're out there, feel free to call
in and address some of Jay's questions, questions and concerns

Shuh I six forty one fifty goot KRCDE talk station,
Donaldshman Davidson after the top of the er news, looking
forward to having him back on. Got some good folks
in office, and thanks to the voters who elected Congressman
Davidson's doing a fine job. Congressman ascy on yesterday, if
you didn't get a chance to listen, I highly recommend
the podcast on that talked about the Epstein Bill asking
to release all the Epstein documents, and it's certainly irking

(01:08:29):
Donald Trump, who compares this as he calls it a hoax,
Jeffrey Epstein hoax, blasting people who are claiming that there's
something there. Donald Trump pivoting away from prior well statements
related to Jeffrey Epstein. Anyway, it's not as bad as

(01:08:50):
you see. I regularly point out that you see these
protests in the street, they're just a small slice of humanity.
So when you got people attacking ice agents, that is
not the dominant position in the American people. Most of
the American people are in face of getting rid of
most notably the criminal illegal elements in this country. But
then you see protesters in the street and you're like,
wait a second, have I missed the bandwagon on this?
And it's not just ice protests, it's really any kind

(01:09:11):
of protest left wingers mostly you know, you got George
George Floyd type protest, Black Lives Matter type protests, your
anti file type protests. And where are all these people
coming from? It's been widely reported many of them are
paid protesters and people they didn't left denies that, no, no, no,
these are not paid people.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Actually it's a cottage business. Found this out with this
article I saw in Fox News. The CEO of an
advocacy group, CEO and founder of Crowds on Demand, Adam Stewart.
Swart is his name. The company is called Crowds on Demand.

(01:09:53):
Obviously a little bit of inside of what they do.
They pay protesters, they organize them and have them show
up when you write them a check. Now, apparently there's
a there's some protests that are supposed to be taking
place today organized by a group called Good Trouble Lives
on Today's Day. Although Adam Swartz said not interested in

(01:10:14):
helping out so much so that he was willing to
turn down a contract that would have been worth about
twenty million dollars had he helped them recruit people to
show up in protest in return for payment. He said,
interest align with the organizers of July seventeenth movement have
approached us, and in fact we rejected an offer that

(01:10:35):
probably is worth around twenty million dollars. These protests are
apparently planned to protest against Trump. They call us off
a peaceful and non violent protests and social change organization.
This Good Trouble lives on planning to oppose Trump and
what they call on their website quote the most brazen

(01:10:57):
rollback of civil rights in generation. Close quote. I'll leave
it to you to decide what exactly they're talking about, Joe,
do you feel like your civil rights have been taken
away from you? Every Day Right protests planning today on
the fifth anniversary of the death of former Representative John
Lewis of Georgia Democrat, described as a civil rights leader

(01:11:20):
who routinely referred to protests as good trouble. Now, I
doubt this organization. The CEO Swartz organization Crowds on Demand
is the only organization providing these services out there. I
would love to see a list of how many companies
or organizations there are that do provide fake protesters when

(01:11:40):
you write them a check. And how many people that
have to be paid to show up at any given
protests really truly embrace what they're protesting rather than just
view it as an opportunity for some easy money. You mean,
all I gotta do is stand around with a sign.
You're gonna give me what fifteen twenty bucks an hour,
But I'll sign up for that. I don't care. Give
me a sign, whatever it says, I'll take the money.

(01:12:01):
I'm not doing anything. Let me just get up out
of my parents' basement and show up. Oh, you provide
transportation too, making it even easier. Now. This CEO's Swart
guy regarding crowds on demand company based in California specializing
in providing on demand crowds for protests, rejected the offer
because they didn't think the protest like the ones Good

(01:12:23):
Trouble Lives on would be effective. He's actually got some
concern over the effectiveness of the protest. He's protecting his
crowds on demand business reputation. We don't want to be
affiliated with something that's not going to bear fruit, Soart said,
I mean, this is a nationwide thing.

Speaker 8 (01:12:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
It's not to say I would have made twenty million
dollars personally, but the value of the contract would have
been worth around that amount nationwide organize huge demonstrations around
the country. But personally, I just don't think it's affected effective.
So it's not I'm not trying to call myself virtuous
for rejecting it. What I am saying is I'm saying

(01:13:01):
I'm rejecting it not because I don't want to take
the business, but because, frankly, this is going to be ineffective.
It's not going to make us, It's going to make
rather us all look bad. So again, his company's business
reputation has been kept in mind here. But do you
think he could have actually paid enough people to show
up twenty million dollars worth of checks going out? I'm

(01:13:22):
guarantee you he would. He would gotten some slice of
that action, a pretty sizeable amount of money, but just
the fact that it exists. Going back to my point,
so you see a whole bunch of people protesting. Did anybody,
let me ask you this rhetorical question, did anybody in
my listening audience who showed up at a Trump rally

(01:13:45):
get paid to go there. People would show up hours
in advance, standing around the corner waiting in line to
get into a Trump event. I don't think they were
getting a check. Donald Trump, of course, won the popular
vote and the Electoral College vote last November. Remember that.
Of course, that's because a majority of the people voted

(01:14:07):
for him and the policies and platforms he ran on,
including enforcing immigration laws. Enter ice queue. The protesters paid
for by maybe crowds on demand or one of the
other organizations. I can only presume exists out there that
hire people to do work that nobody really wants to do.
By way of making a political statement alone. Six forty

That's where traffic's being diverted off of a highway Upove Jeffersonville,
chucking from N fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
Six efty two if you have PAIRCD talk station wildly curious,
I remain about this crowds on demand company, and one
had looked it up. Yeah, it's crowdsodemand dot com advocacy
programs higher crowds and manager events with crowds on demand.
So you get your artificial intelligence generated explanation about what
the hell is crowds on demand? How much is they?

(01:16:46):
Do they pay per hour? Here's what they say. They say.
Crowds on Demand a company that provides actors and demonstrators
for various events, charges varying hourly rates depending on the
type of service. For basic tasks like staffing and telephone
banks or letter writing campaigns. Rates can range from twenty
five dollars to thirty dollars per hour. This according to

(01:17:07):
information gleaned from the San Diego Union Tribunes reporting on
this company, they say had more complex events like protests
or flash mobs. How did that group just magically appear?

Speaker 7 (01:17:20):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
Maybe crowds on demand put them there. Higher rates are charged,
potentially reaching one hundred and fifty to five hundred dollars
per day depending on the length of the event. Examples
they cite of crowds on demand pricing for your fake protester,
basic task again, telephone banks, letter writing twenty five to
thirty per hour, one hundred and fifty to five hundred
on these protests or flash mobs. One hundred dollars per

(01:17:42):
hour for some events, according to the San Diego Tribune,
one hundred bucks an hour. Joe, would you show up
someplace with a sign for one hundred dollars an hour?
Where's the line start? Fake paparazzi six hundred dollars for
a specific event. That's current of information from an entityl

(01:18:05):
called Pointer. They gleaned it from week long political demonstrations.
Ten thousand dollars. Something called prolonged protest campaign can cast
you between twenty five and fifty thousand dollars. Crowds for
marketing or pr stunts fifteen dollars per person per hour,
fifty dollars per person per gig. All right, they say

(01:18:29):
factors that influence the pricing of the type of the event,
whether it's stage demonstration, duration of the event, location, and
cost of living. I guess that various city by city
based upon how much how expensive it is to protest
there or buy like food as well as lodging. I
suppose with the multi day event they got to cover
that as well, plus the skill and experience of the participant,

(01:18:51):
pointing out that highly specialized or experienced actors may command
higher rates. So you're being lied to. It's an optical thing.
It's staged. It's not real. And I always point out
even if a T shirt that says it, great ideas
or good ideas do not require force, They do not

(01:19:13):
require coercion, they do not require being bribed. Great ideas
have a way of attracting people simply because it's a
great idea. But if you got to pay somebody to
show up, because no one's going to show up, maybe
it's a bad idea you're embracing. And you got to
commend the guy who started the pro the company though, right,

(01:19:39):
that's a true capitalist right there. Six point fifty five
fifty five k se DE talk station. One of the
good ones will be on next Congressman Warren Davidson coming
back for the top of the air news. We'll talk
to Recision Package Voue. We'll talk about weapons going to Ukraine,
Massy's proposed build, release all the Epstein files, and lower
courts on universal injunctions, those topics with Congressman Davidson in

(01:20:00):
the next hour. I'm sure hope you can stick around
for that from a full rundown and the biggest tad
lines there's minutes away at the top of the hour.
I'm giving you a fact now the Americans should know.
Fifty five krs the talk station, this reporter seven oh five,

(01:20:28):
that's Thursday. By the time is always please when Congressman
Warren Davidson joins the fifty five CARC Morning show, talk
with us, talk we all of us about what's going
on in Washington, DC. Welcome back, Congressman Davidson. It's a
pleasure having you on my program.

Speaker 9 (01:20:44):
Brian, It's always an honor, thanks for talking with me.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Kind of exciting times being an elected official. Right now
on the Republican side of the Ledger, A lot is
getting done. That's the understatement of a fi year man.
I'm Tony Trump has been able to accomplish more and
you along with Trump's initiatives what he campaigned on a
lot which is being accomplished. It's just it's so fast
and so furious. I personally have never witnessed anything like this,

(01:21:07):
and all the time I've been looking, you know, studying
politics was like junior year in high school. What's your
take on just the the pace at which we're going here.

Speaker 9 (01:21:16):
Look, Congress is having a hard time moving at the
speed of Trump. Trump's getting after it every day. I mean,
the team he's put together is doing amazing things, and
you know, the results are tremendous. I mean, you know,
maybe the best line of the year was at the
State of the Union when he said, you know, for
the for border security, it turns out all we needed
was a different president. We still haven't passed a really
good border security law, but with the Big beautiful Bill,

(01:21:40):
we gave lots of funding so that they can keep
the pace they're going at and frankly intensify the efforts.
So we're going to have a secure border. And with
a secure border, that I give us a lot of
options on how do we deal with the rest of
these problems. And you know, I'm excited about that. I'm
excited about our strong, focused military. I just met with
the Secretary of the Army this week. We're working on,

(01:22:00):
you know, getting the military laser focus readiness wise, I
mean cutting out the bloat and waste. I mean, I'm
talking about bureaucratic inefficiencies we've known about for decades. And
because Congress generally just does omnibus bills and just you know,
status quo, keep it going, they don't really do the
major reforms. And they're getting after it in the executive branch.
Hopefully Congress will move somewhere alongs in line with that

(01:22:25):
and we'll get some of those reforms documented into law.
But the pace is exciting well.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
And it's good that the Supreme Court green lighted people
getting fired. I just had to laugh, although part of
me wanted to cry. It took them four months to
figure out actually the number of people that even worked
in the state department. They didn't even know.

Speaker 9 (01:22:45):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's mind blowing. I mean the
Security Army. I was talking to them. Thirty thousand people
work in just the procurement part. These are civilian employees,
not soldiers, civilian employees, thirty thousand just buying stuff for
the army. And I'm like, well, how's that compare with
Walmart or Amazon. He's like, well, yeah, like five thousand,
Like they buy everything in the world, all over the planet, right,

(01:23:05):
but yeah, like five thousand people can do it. Thirty
thousand for the army. So you know, they've got, you know,
ambitious goals to shrink that and bring the technology up
to speed. Part of the reason that some of this
stuff is so broken. I mean, X small business with
quick books has probably got more tech than a lot
of our government agencies in terms of just accounting controls.
You know, who authorized this spending? Did you really receive

(01:23:28):
the part that you're about to pay for things like
that that you just kind of take for granted that
they're in place. There's a reason they can't pass a
quote audit and provide accountability there. The other thing is
this idea of the audit that they're doing it's like,
you know, they're not focused on details like that. You
get all these you know, big accounting firms coming in
and they want to go, well, how do you value

(01:23:50):
the nuclear waste. You're like, yeah, we get some nuclear waste.
We're not putting a price on it. I mean, we're
just we're just trying to find out what to do
with it. And they're flag in stuf like that, and
we're like, no, No, where did the money go that
we sent to Ukraine?

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
Exactly? Things like that exactly Well, and that's one of
the things that I was so impressed by, although underwhelmed
at the total amount of fraud, waste, and abuse that
was out in the world. But when Doge looked at
USAID and we find out the American taxpayer is working
and going to work every day to make money for
income taxes. To find out that it's going to like

(01:24:24):
Sesame Street in Israel or Afghanistan or something, I mean,
the list of absurd and insane programs, it's mind boggling,
and it's angering to folks like me and other people
who pay attention to this. It's the same question who
authorized the funding of this ridiculous program and what did
the non governmental organization who said they were going to

(01:24:44):
fix whatever problem was identified actually do with the money.
There seems to be no follow up or accounting along
those lines.

Speaker 10 (01:24:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:24:52):
And I mean even if you look at structural problems,
like you know, huh okay, we believe we should have
a housing safety net, but you know, where's the money
going for some of these projects actually keep funding it
and they always say, we just need more money. But
then when you dig in, you're like, in DC DC
public Housing, only fifty percent of the housing units are
even livable. You're like, well, you get a maintenanceant repair budget,
it would it gets spent every year. Why aren't the

(01:25:13):
places fixed? Did you spend the money fixing the place? Well,
it gave it to the contractor, Yeah, but did they
fix the place? You know stuff that's crazy, and it's no,
it isn't getting fixed. That's why you have half of
the housing units that the people are paying for not livable.
They can't even use them.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Well, and as to yesterday, the nine billion dollar federal
funding reduction for foreign aid programs that went through the Senate,
it's going to be back to the House. What was
the one stumbling block funding for HIV AIDS research or
programs out in the world. How's the House going to
take the minor changes from the Senate on this one? Yeah,
I mean we're disappointed. I mean, good grief.

Speaker 9 (01:25:53):
You get to give a haircut to nine point four billion,
which you know is zero point one percent of spending.
I mean, you know that's there. Why are bond prices higher? Well,
because they know nobody's gonna cut spending. We're we're riding
this sucker on into the crash site, it seems, and
you know, we we identify ways to save.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
Money, it would be popular with the public.

Speaker 9 (01:26:14):
We I mean, only because jd Vance cast the tiebreaking vote,
could we defund NPR and you know stuff like that.
I mean, MPR needs a billion dollars to spew propaganda
for anti American propaganda, often, but certainly you know, anti
anybody right of the center of the Democratic Party. They're
pushing far left the agenda every day. And they've got

(01:26:36):
lots of donors and plenty of advertisers, and you know,
regular people that just donate to local PBS stations, you
know who I admit to have some good programming. I
like some of their programming. But if you look at
the Macro agenda. It's his way left of center, and
they don't need tax dollars to do it. But only
because jd Vance cast the tiebreaking vote, could they do that?
We're going to vote on it, I think later today.

(01:26:57):
I mean, they have to go to rules committee here
probably as we speak, and I think we're supposed to
start a debate on the floor on defense appropriations again
at nine. We did a little bit of it overnight
last night.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
Well, it seems can you make defense appropriations, you know,
contingent upon actually being able to pass an audit? I mean,
it seems doesn't seem like a big ask, But you know,
I am convinced, like nothing else that there's a whole
lot of fraud, waste, that abuse in a trillion dollar
military budget. This is not to say I don't believe
in building ships and keeping up with the Chinese Communist
Party or whoever defending America's interests both at home and abroad.

(01:27:32):
But like you said, where's the money actually going? Is
it accomplishing anything or has it been misspent or otherwise stolen?

Speaker 9 (01:27:42):
Yeah, I mean that was one of the topics talking
with the Secretary of the Army. Is you know, the
state of the audit, because I've you know, got this
amendment that I offer, which is, you know, any year
that they can't pass an audit, you get to eliminate
ten percent of the general in general. You know, they
got too many generals. But you have to hold somebody accountable.
And okay, we believe you need the money because we
want to be strong and focused and have the best

(01:28:03):
equipment in the world. Even when you do it. One
of the things I'm going to speak on is this
whole thing called a latoral class you know ship. Oh sure,
the inland waterways and everything else. These things are non
usable for the purpose. Over half of them aren't even
seaworthy right now, and they want to keep funding the program.
And instead of just saying, look, man, we're just throwing
bad money, throwing good money after bad here, and it's

(01:28:26):
just sort of the sunk cost ballacy. Well, you know,
we've already spent this much. We have to No, it's
not fixable. Stop well, and I just.

Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
Have to throw this out because the nature of warfare
has obviously changed dramatically, as illustrated by the you know,
the the Israel and the Iranian strikes and of course
you got Russia, Ukraine, it's full on drone. I mean,
you don't need multi billion dollar aircraft to accomplish the
goal that a you know, several thousand dollars drone can accomplish.

(01:28:57):
So are we going to move away from funding you know,
these billion dollar manned aircraft in favor of allocating more
resources and money to drone type technology.

Speaker 9 (01:29:06):
Well, hopefully we're shifting the focus. I mean we're working
on it. I mean our shipbuilding state of shipbuilding in
the country is probably one of the biggest issues. Just
keeping up with ammunitions is a challenge for the supply chain.
You know, to be candid, we shipped a lot of
them to other war zones and we need to replenish ours.
Part of it was some of those were older. But
then you get, well, okay, what's the rate that we

(01:29:27):
can produce new stuff, and that again through the procurer process,
isn't keeping pace with what we would like and what
we what we want to build out for a future
surge capability if we ever really needed to, you know,
we wouldn't say I was ever one of the biggest
fans of Donald Rumsfeld, but he had a decent saying
I kind of co opted about the supply chain is
you know, you go to war with the supply chain

(01:29:48):
you have, not with the supply chain you wish you had,
right And we're trying to fix that. And that's a
big part of what Trump's doing with tariffs. It's a
big part about, you know, what we're doing with the
Defense Production Act, and it is trying to get the
whole country focused instead of just used to spending money
on giant programs and not caring about the outcome.

Speaker 1 (01:30:06):
We'll continue to Congressman Moar and Davidson pivoting over from
that specificular focus on our defense spending two giving weapons
to Ukraine, among other topics. Stick around me right back
seven fifteen fifty five krs to the talk station and
a strong recommendation to get in touch with John Ryan
and pressed these interior so to your kitchen remodeling project
he did ours. We love what he was able to
do with us. We went with a big project, the

(01:30:26):
whole gut, the whole thing taken out and started from scratch,
which was ideal for us because he was able to
transform the space into something that had far better flow
and even more space. It sounds impossible with a fixed
size room, but he did it. And we love what
John accomplished. He's there with you from initial design to
final installations. Been doing kitchens almost exclusively for about thirty

(01:30:48):
five years. You'll love working with him. He's a really
nice guy and he's the guy you have to deal with.
You don't have to worry about anybody else. John will

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
Chuck Ingramont fifty five KROC the talk station seven nineteen
year fifty five KERRC the talk station. By the time
of speaking with Congressman Warren Davidson, pivoting over to arms
going to Ukraine. Trump's kind of been on again, off
again on this, and most recently he said he's going
to provide some additional weapons to Ukraine, notably some Patriot
missiles as well as ammunition. They are in desperate need

(01:32:24):
of that kind of thing, but the running out of
people to actually operate it. Their military is getting decimated.
Russia keeps making advances. And you know, patriot missile costs
what four million dollars apiece. We only manufacture collectively, like
six hundred of them per year. The system that is
required to fire them off and everything related to it
is more than a billion dollars. And you've got six

(01:32:46):
hundred plus drones flying into any given target area at
a time. You can knock those down with Patriot missiles.
The cost benefit analysis just collapses in the face of
how cheap drones are. Congressman Davidson, where are you on
arm shipments to Ukraine?

Speaker 8 (01:33:00):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
And where we stand on that? Because Russia they're unwavering
in their position. They have a list of demands and
they have not moved away from them. I don't know
threatening them with fifty days to do this or that.
I don't think Peutin's going to lift a finger to
do anything. He knows what he wants and he's not
wavering because he's winning.

Speaker 9 (01:33:17):
Yeah, I mean, you point out, like, what's going to
change Putin's mind? Look, the great thing is Donald Trump
came into office with a very clear objective. He wants peace.
He doesn't care precisely where lines are drawn. He doesn't
care about a lot of the details. But he wants
people is he said, I want people to stop dying,
and he's like, what's wrong with that? Stop dying? And

(01:33:38):
there there there is a massive loss of life on
both yes, the Ukrainian military and the Russian military. But
if you look at Ukraine, they've been decimated with their
population base. They're doing, you know, really indefensible things to
get more bodies to go out to the front and push,
pushing people out into into the combat zone. And look,

(01:34:00):
they're trying to save and defend their country. You understand it.
It's a terrible war, but they're also not rationally negotiating.
So Trump's done a lot to get Zelenski there. But
in the meantime, you know, the weakness no matter how
much money you have, no matter how many munitions you have,
you still need manpower. And the critical weakness for Ukraine

(01:34:20):
as this has gone on and on and on is manpower.
So when they had manpower early, they weren't rational in
their negotiating position. So you know, I hope they haven't
missed a moment to get a better piece than what
they're going to wind up with. But you know, this
is part of how bad Biden was. I mean, I
never voted for a dime to go to Ukraine because
they would never define what are you trying to accomplish?

(01:34:42):
And then they would say crazy things like well work
regime change in Russia and war crimes tribunals for Putin.
I'm not saying that would be a completely unjust outcome,
but Ukraine isn't going to accomplish that no matter how
manys we send them. That's World War three, you know,
And I'm out on World War three if we can
avoid it, right, and uh, there's a complete disconnect here

(01:35:04):
with a lot of the resources under the Bide administration,
Trump has really still got it right and saying, look,
this also isn't our war to fight or fund, so
we'll sell NATO member countries the weapons and the sort
of caveat there is. I mean, we fund over half
of NATO, so you know, in a way, yes, our
dollars are still going to it. But he's trying to

(01:35:24):
get an outcome, and I hope he does, but you know,
the I think the odds are long at this point
of getting put In to the negotiating table. If anyone
could do it, I think Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
Can't Yeah, well it's gonna it's going to require Zelonsky
to relent. I mean that just seems obvious because the
longer this goes on and the more he refuses to
negotiate and back off on what he ultimately thinks he wants,
which is like the Russia completely leaving the borders of Ukraine,
which is never going to happen. This is just going
to continue in Russia's position, and from the bargaining standpoint,

(01:35:53):
he's just going to get stronger. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:35:55):
Then that's what's happened is you know the moments I
mean really are honestly, the Biden administration scuttled it. If
you look at the you know, the German German ambassador
outed this and how widely reported it back in back
in uh you know, spring summer of twenty two, you know,
months after the war started. Uh you know that the

(01:36:17):
Biden team scuttled any negotiation for peace. I mean, so
let's get that point, was ready to reach a piece
with Russia. So since then he's been emboldened by all
the NATO countries and then the you know the war path.
First people that are like no, no, we'll keep cutting
you unlimited checks and at some level. I'm not sure
all those checks made it to the front, but there there.

(01:36:40):
To your point, a lot of innovation has come out
of this war. The United States has learned a ton.
The drone developments come a long way, and you have
you have lightweight drones with you know, vision systems, UH,
some of which can be controlled not one drone by
one operator, but little swarms of these things, and they
can target vehicle, they could target humans, they can discriminate

(01:37:02):
amongst targets, and they're they're they're getting pretty good at
the supply chain for for small, very effective drones, so
they're there, they are multiplying their combat power and over time,
I think the drones have done a lot to uh
to dissuade Russia and the Russian troops on the battlefield,
and they're definitely out competing on the supply chain because

(01:37:24):
they've got Western civilization essentially funneling the supply chain UH
and Russia has got you know, China, which is you know,
pretty big industrial base obviously, but the level of innovation
isn't matching the drums. I mean, we've picked up battlefield
drums and you know, held them in our hands. For
the small ones and looked at them in other ways
for for bigger ones and looking at you know, what's

(01:37:45):
the state of play for technology on either side, and uh,
you know, look there's some encouraging things there. Any wars
tragic and pieces of better outcome. So hopefully we resolve it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:56):
Amen to that, And something I talked about yesterday with
Congress from Massive joined the program his bill to get
the Epstein files released, subject to limitations like no, no
child porn or victim identities will be released, so there's
some caveats, and then to protect the more warriams worrisome
elements of what we know they have, which is a
bunch of child porn that he downloaded. But beyond that,
a lot of questions, a lot of conspiracies swirling out there,

(01:38:18):
and they only seem to be fed more by Trump's
position now that there's nothing there that this is somehow
Russian collusion or Russian hoax along the lines of the
Steele dossier. That seems to be a position change for
the president. But Massey's trying to fast track this bill
to get those documents released. Where are you, Congressman Davidson,
relative to that subject matter?

Speaker 9 (01:38:37):
Well, more than public information Normally when there's a prosecution,
they will simply say I can't talk about an ongoing investigation,
and you don't see all the details, right right, So
more than a list or more than details that frankly,
I don't want made public because I don't want them
to go away from being able to be used in
a trial. I want to know when someone other than
Julaanne Maxwell's going to jail, what's the state of the

(01:38:58):
prosecutions is what I want to know. But I do
find it troubling when you know, Pam Bondi comes out
and says, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah,
you remember the binders and the files that you were
had on your desk, like what So the messaging on
this has just been atrocious, and I think that's the part,
like what the heck are you talking about? And unfortunately,

(01:39:20):
when you look at the public statements that the president's made,
normally he's on message boom boom boom. So you know,
the one thing I know about President Trump, though, I mean,
one of the things that's defined him is promises made,
promises kept. So I'm certainly hopeful that we're going to
see this promise kept and where it's really going to
be accountability for the people that were trafficking kids and

(01:39:41):
the clients that were you.

Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
Know, amazing, yeah, and yeah exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:39:48):
I mean someone, someone, someone was actually doing the other
side of this, not just the victims. And so we
want those people prosecuted and and the people.

Speaker 10 (01:39:57):
Are right to do that.

Speaker 9 (01:39:57):
And look, if if we can't do that, I mean
we need an entirely we need a constitutional convention because
this system isn't working. I mean that's pretty basic right there,
Like you have to have accountability for people that are
doing stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
Like that, yes, you do. And of course it fuels
the fire of conspiracy theories like how many members of
Congress are involved? And are there elected officials? Are their
corporate CEOs that were involved in this? Just swirling, swirling
questions and again fueled by the now statement that there's
no there there. Congressman Warren Davidson, appreciate your time you're
willing to spend with my listeners and me on the
Morning Show. Look forward to having you back on and

(01:40:33):
keep up the great work.

two thirty in the morning, Covington police showed up report
of a man with a gun. According to the statement
from the police department, within seconds of the officer's arrival,
the man turned the weapon on himself and died by suicide.
Thank god, nobody else was harmed. Cases had to be

(01:44:12):
Corney you See Health officials and the statement they released,
the public safety teams received reports of an armed person
in the Clifton Medical campus. After those reports, the campus
placed on brief lockdown as the investigation was conducted. According
to de Dubois, resident u See Health, they were shutting
things down by the time I got upstairs. You wouldn't
think of it happened to you. You know what I'm saying.
You wouldn't think you'd be at a place like that

(01:44:33):
at that moment. Employee of the neighboring Barrett buildings that
they were instructed to move patients away from the windows
while the authorities campus the area. Eventually, officials said that
a weapon was found on the property in the area
determined to be safe since a police department said no
arrests were made in connection with the incident and if
the campus has returned to normal operations. Here's a real

(01:44:55):
weird one road rage incident got a little out of control.
Claremont County Sheriff's Office said Seth Schilter, thirty years old
from Wayne Township, now facing numerous charges. He encountered the
victim July eleventh on State Route seven. Twenty seven year
Stone Lick Park witness said shooter stopped his vehicle. He

(01:45:15):
had his children in it, all of them five are
under stopped the vehicle on the road and a woman
honked her car horn and drove around him. There's your encounter.
He then followed that woman to her home on Lair Road.
He confronted a man at the home. It was her
husband on the front porch while his wife ran behind
the house. That was the woman he was after. Claarmont

(01:45:37):
County Sheriff's officer said, trying to de escalate the situation
with Schulter, The Sheriff's office said, the man went to
get his wife from behind the home. That's when Schuilter
decided to get his kids out of the car five
years old or younger and go into this woman's home
while the husband and wife were still out back. He
damaged the inside of the home. When the homeowners found

(01:45:58):
him in their house, the husband hit the man in
the face. Sarafa's Chief Deputy Mike White said when he
came back from behind the residents, he entered the home
and that point the mail inside ended up striking him.
Childer grabbed his kids, fled the scene, and ended up
getting arrested. They located him following in an arrangement with

(01:46:20):
the guy's wife and took him into custody the convenience
store along State Route seven twenty seven, being charged with
aggravated burglary, aggravated menacing, assault, burglary, and endangering children. And
here's the answer to the question why operating a motor
vehicle while under the influence held without bond corner to

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
You hear me?

Speaker 1 (01:49:07):
I can hear you?

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
Yeah, Okay, I got my hearing agent. I can't tell.

Speaker 1 (01:49:13):
I'll call you a Central Committee Rick, you had comment
Jay had made a comment the other day and he
called back this morning and you had said, you know,
Jay's the kind of guy we need on Central Committee
because he's complaining about the poor choice of candidates, the
rhinos that are selected and always running the bad people
and this continues over and over again. At least a
broad brushway of summarizing his statements. You sent me an
email saying he needs to join Central Committee so he

(01:49:34):
can have a say and getting better candidates. And his
retort this morning was why do we even have Central Committee?
Aren't we capable of making these choices ourselves? And isn't
this just another power play and grab that puts the
power in the hands of a small select group of people.

Speaker 10 (01:49:50):
Well, I think a lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
People misunderstand what Central Committee is. It's it's basically just
a pack a political action committee like any other political
action committee that endorses and supports candidates because they don't
want to get their policy and actor. The only difference
between the central parties and parties Central Committee Republican Party

(01:50:14):
Central Committee is that the membership is open to the
public and they are elected by the grassroots. They get
one delegate I call them delegates, one delegate from each neighborhood.
They call it a precinct, and they sit on the committee.
They vet candidates, and then they endorse them. That's all
they do. They can't get they can't, you.

Speaker 1 (01:50:37):
Know, elect this guy.

Speaker 2 (01:50:38):
It's still up to the voters. In the primary, and
so they get bombarded with mailers and phone calls from
all the packs, including us. We put out our little
voter guide, they put out theirs. Everybody is trying to
influence us. In fact that anybody, anybody and everybody that

(01:50:58):
talks about policy candidates is a pack, whether they call
it that or not, whether it fits the legal definition
or not. Like newspapers, bloggers, you know, you name it, podcasts,
everybody that mentions a candidate or a policy is a pack,
and we have to compete in that. We have to

(01:51:19):
you know, just like in military combat, you have to run,
you have to charge to the sound of the guns.
That's where the battle is. And so like we can
wish it was some other way, we can wish it was,
you know, that people would just everybody would come out
and vote and we'd all vote end mass and decide
who was going to be what. But the battle is
in this advertising space where if you want to call

(01:51:42):
it an endorsement, that's that's all an endorsement is. Is
that is an ad.

Speaker 1 (01:51:48):
Any questions about that, no understand, but I guess it
has I guess centric he has more credibility because it
is representative the will of the people, because people vote
for the members of the Central Committee, unlike a political
action committee, which just has its handout for money, which
they put in a big pile and then fund whatever
issue is that that political action committee is focused on.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
In fact, more importantly is the membership of those packs.
But all the packs you know where Blue twenty two
came from and all the rest, Yeah, you cannot join
those packs. You can send them money.

Speaker 1 (01:52:21):
You'll take it, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:52:23):
If you want to be a member of the board,
the voting board, you know, they'll just show you the door.

Speaker 1 (01:52:30):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:52:30):
Central Committee is the only pack that you can actually
become a member of. It's open to the public. Nurse
one one member, one delegate per neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (01:52:41):
They call it a praising right. Well, I can give
you some hint. I was going to say, I guess
that's what lends Central Committee more credibility than your traditional pack, which,
doubling down to what you said, does not offer opportunities
to be on a board, does not provide you with
really at opportunity to steer the messaging from the pack
asking you for a handout and for money.

Speaker 2 (01:53:03):
Correct, now, I can I've been doing this since the
late seventies, and I can remember when you know, a
lot of people say, you know, at least now we
have light at the end of the tunnel. Well, when
I got started, there was no tunnel, and it took
a long time for us to even become close to
being a majority on any of these Central Committees around

(01:53:25):
the country. But I can give you you just had
Warren Davidson on. You know why he's our congressman, a
congressman of far in Butler County instead of John Banner
is because of the Butler County Central Committee was going
to endorse Warren Davidson. Banner got a window of it
and decided not to run. He said, oh, I got

(01:53:46):
better things to do with my time.

Speaker 1 (01:53:48):
Yeah, making money off the weed industry.

Speaker 2 (01:53:53):
And Bernie Marino when we had our endorsement meeting down
here in Claimworont County, we had our endorsement meeting. First
he came down, was like a field of seven candidates.
He won our endorsement on the first ballot. And that's
because we spent decades, you know, teaching people about Central

(01:54:14):
Committee and getting them on the committee so that they
could be there on that one day every two years
when the endorsements are made, and so we've seen real
impact all across the country, not just here in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (01:54:29):
Well, you've done a good job of getting sound people
to become and get elected to Central Committee too, And
I think part of Jay's problem is that that isn't
always the case depending upon where you're looking, and that's
how you end up with some four choices for candidates,
but they're in that addresses your problem. Well, if you
think you're a better person selecting people and endorsing people
and vetting people, then get on Central Committee and have
a say on it. Rick, Hero and I.

Speaker 2 (01:54:51):
One of the things all we try to do is
recruit normal people, just normal people.

Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
That's just like a jury. I understand, I get it. Rick,
Thanks for calling in supporting your concept and I still
say it's a sound idea. If you want to get
really involved and have us say in the matter, get
elected to Central Committee. Thank you, Rick for all your
hard work over the years. Seven forty seven And how

to stay on hold. Steve, Sorry had to carry over
that break, but I appreciate you holding. Welcome to the

(01:56:22):
Morning Show, not a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:56:24):
He is interesting. I enjoy the back and forth.

Speaker 4 (01:56:27):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:56:28):
It was informative, it was. And Bainer got in the
weed business after being against it when he was in office.
The same way Rob Portman was against gay marriage until
it turned out his son came to him, and when
came out of the closet and was gay, then he's
for it. So he didn't care if your son or
my son was gay, but when it directly affected him,

(01:56:50):
then then he changed his tune, which is somebody that's
not a leader in a leadership position. Not what I'm
calling about. But stuff like that ticks me off to
no end. Yeah, because they're they're absolute useless people. Absolutely,
So I don't have any roosters out here. The neighbors
now that I'm on the deck and the water's trickling

(01:57:12):
in the fountain. The neighbor behind me, they've got a
lot of land. They have two horses. I give them
apples all the time, because you know, Kroger's got to
give away fruits and veggies, and we always buy apples.
And these horses they don't make any noise, but they
come right to the corner of my yard and just
absolutely stare at me. And it breaks your heart.

Speaker 10 (01:57:33):
If you don't have one.

Speaker 3 (01:57:34):
So we always have them and it's a fun thing
to do. The reason I'm calling I talked to a
guy in my church or retired Delta pilot, and I
asked him, I said, do you guys I was talking
about not so much the air India, but I remembered
Egypt Air. I remember the German airline where the co
pilot locked the pilot out and crashed the airpoint. I said,

(01:57:56):
did you guys do any recurring psychological training evaluations anything?
And he said no, And I said, so it's kind
of like firefighters when they have to do the physical
to get the job and then they're a firefighter for
twenty years and they're very heavy and they couldn't they
couldn't pass the physical test again, no recurring training on that.

(01:58:17):
He goes, it's like that, he said. They counted on.
Like if you flew with somebody in the cockpit and
you thought they were a bit off, you would tell Delta, hey,
I'd rather not fly with this person again. They seem,
you know whatever. And I guess if the person got
a couple of reports on them, maybe they would pull

(01:58:39):
them in. But they just count on co workers identifying
somebody with the problems for what it's worth, but maybe
some recurring psychological evaluations would be good. I want pilots
in the cockpit. I do not want to not have
somebody there. And if somebody on the ground is controlling

(01:59:03):
the airplane, they could have a problem too. And in fact,
they wouldn't kill themselves. They could just murder a bunch
of people without committing suicide.

Speaker 1 (01:59:10):
So that is true. But you know, Holman Jenkins Junior's
article in the in the Journal today addresses all of
the ones where they're appeared to have been very intentional
murders suicide slash murders from pilots who went through a
whole bunch of illustrations on this. You mentioned one of them,
but he suggested maybe there we can incorporate technology. Artificial
intelligence might be able to yell at the pilot like

(01:59:31):
don't do that if they're doing something like on the
Boeing seven thirty seven max. If they failed to instruct
pilots how after the software change. So you know, there
are some technological advances that wouldn't require human intervention that
might provide an extra measure of safety. But I share
your concerns about the pilotless airplane. That's one of the
things he talked about in his articles, like, well, we've
got driverless cars and there's far more opportunities for someone

(01:59:53):
to you know, you know, circumstances where you're involved in
so much more traffic and so many more opportunities to
get into an accident. But we driverless cars, seems logical
that we might be able to have a pilotless airplane. Again,
that's not a road I want to go down yet,
but I do embrace the idea of maybe incorporating some
automatic technology. And his other comment about having some sort
of system where we know where all the planes are

(02:00:16):
all the time. That Malaysian airline was a big red
flag because there's no tracking ability out in the middle
of the ocean where it ultimately crashed. So anyhow, we'll
talk about that with Jay Ratliff coming up at the
bottom of the next hour. Hope you can stick around
for that, But first the man Steve Gooden, our legal
expert on Biden's auto pen use as well as his

(02:00:36):
run for SINCEI City Council. I hope you can stick
around for that. Hus happens fast, Stay up to date,
at the top of the hour. Not going to be complicated.
It's going to go very fast. Fifty five krs the
talks your summer backpack of information.

Speaker 10 (02:00:52):
I love how they just cover everything.

Speaker 1 (02:00:54):
Fifty five krz the talkstation eight to five. Fifty five
krc DE Talk Station right time. You're really excited when
I came into the morning, so I found out my
next guest, Steve Gooden from the law firm of Porter Wright,
was going to join the program to kind of break
down this auto pen use and whether or not Biden
authorized the use or people were using it on his

(02:01:16):
without his knowledge. Steve Gooden from Porter Right, Welcome back
to the program, my friend. It's a pleasure having you
on today. Likewise, you're boring, Brian, and we'll get to
the we'll get to it the next subject matter. But congratulations.
I heard you are running as a charter right for
since a city council in the upcoming election. I thought
that was a great development, sir. I know you've been
in that role before and I wish you all the best.
But we'll touch touch upon the details of that and

(02:01:38):
why you're running next. But let's start with the auto pen.
There's obviously a lot of concern going around. Joe Biden's
cognitive deterioration was known by everybody, and it was a
big cover up. I don't think anybody can argue against that,
although Summer in a state of denial. But how the
use of the auto pen I mean, he pardoned or
commuted the sentence of literally thousands of people. And as

(02:02:02):
it's been reported by the New York Times, the lists changed.
My takeaway from the reporting on that was he set
a set of criteria for people who could qualify to
be pardoned, like you know, they're in jail for crack
cocaine or whatever, and if you met that that sort
of checklist, then you were added to the list. But
those lists changed from time to time. He did not

(02:02:25):
personally approve of all the people on any given list,
and the and the list and the pardons were sent over.
The autopen was used, and it appears as though Joe
Biden authorized it, But question mark, if he didn't specifically
authorize it, does that render the pardon null and void?
Where are we on this, Steve Gooden?

Speaker 8 (02:02:44):
Well, you know, Brian, it is. It is a thorny
legal issue that has really not come up ever in
this way really before because the autopin is a relatively
new thing. I mean, Biden is really the first president
in modern times for whom the cognitive decline was a
serious issue. Now, people did raise it in the later
days of the Reagan tern, but of course he didn't

(02:03:06):
do these mass pardons on the way out the door,
so that issue specifically did not come up. And really,
auto pins really have only existed, you know, for the
last like, you know, thirty forty years, really in a
way that we're meaningfully used. All we know is this
the Constitution says, and you know this as a lawyer,
how important the word shall can be. It shall sign,

(02:03:27):
the president shall sign. Now, this issue has never been
to the Supreme Court. There have just been a little
legal precedent dealing with autopin use by governors where state
courts have found that auto pins as long as there's
some evidence that the criteria was directed by the governor,

(02:03:48):
that an autopin signature can be okay, it could be
an actual delegation of authority. There needs to be some
evidence that they were aware of it. So really it
does boiled down to what did Biden know and when
did he know it? Now, our problem. The problem here
that the Trump people and James Comer in Congress, who
was also trying to review and actually have hold hearings

(02:04:09):
on this matter, what they're going to probably run into
is the twenty fifth Amendment, which really is the only
constitutional mechanism to challenge the president's line state and potential
dementia and things of that nature. It's pretty clear from
the limited case law around the twenty fifth Amendment that
it's not retroactive. Was really means that the frankly, Congress

(02:04:31):
should have gone after Biden's mental state while he was
still in office, and they might have been able to
make some hay out of it. There's a very specific
procedure for removing the president under the twenty fifth Amendment,
and I swear you know it may well have been there.

Speaker 10 (02:04:44):
We now know.

Speaker 8 (02:04:45):
I mean, the most untenable part of this for the
general public is that Biden all but admitted publicly that
he was not physically or mentally able to campaign for
a second term, but insisted on serving out the rest
of this time, which will always raise you know, giant questions,
just common sense questions to the public. But I mean, look,

(02:05:07):
he partnered forty two I've got for what I found
in the New York Times four two hundred and eighty
five individuals plusted a mass parton for for folks with
certain marijuana offenses in federal prison, and they still can't
tell exactly how many people were pardoned there. So he
in all likelihood pardon more people than any president in history,
including his own son, at the very you know, at

(02:05:29):
the very end. So it's it's going to be a
tough one to History is going to be very hard
on him. Whether we can unravel it now is a
big question.

Speaker 10 (02:05:37):
Mark.

Speaker 1 (02:05:38):
Well, I guess the idea of getting a justiciaal controversy.
My theory is in getting us in front for a
court to rule on whether or not any given pardon
was invalid. A great opportunity exists with Ron Paul going
after doctor Anthony Fauci or Paul rather. Fauci was given
a peremptory pardon, and I don't even know if that's legal.

(02:05:58):
Maybe you can you can comment on the concept of
a peremptory pardon. But you know, if you go after
Fauci and you say you lied to Congress, which is
a crime, he could be prosecuted for that. Department of
Justice takes up the case, his defense will be immediately
to hold up the pardon and say, you can't go
after me for this some subject to a pardon, at
which time you could try to enter into evidence or

(02:06:18):
discover whether or not Biden actually specifically authorized that peremptory pardon,
and then it will become an issue for the court.
I mean, have I got that writer? Is that a
possible avenue to get this in front of a court?

Speaker 8 (02:06:30):
Well, I think that's a possible avenue as well as
the retroactive pardon for uncharged conduct against Sunner Biden. Yeah,
I mean, these are things that are highly unusual. Usually. Typically,
you know, the way the pardon has always worked is
if you have been convicted of a federal effect, the
president can either pardon you or grant clemency, which is
kind of a lesser form of wiping it off your record,

(02:06:52):
but it's not a true pardon. So there's always it's
always dont with things that have actually happened, the idea
that there might have been some mistake in the process,
or there were selective prosecution, or the person has truly
turned their life around and rehabilitated themselves. And it was
like an error they made and youth and most presidents
have a very you know, robust process for applying for

(02:07:14):
a pardon, and it's you know, and it's a big deal.
The idea of pardoning someone, you know, prospectively or retroactively
for conduct that hasn't even been charged. We're in new
territory there, and I think Rand Paul's absolutely right. If
there's going to be any challenge here, that's where it
would be. I will say though, that we haven't dug
into this a little bit. This cold concept of.

Speaker 1 (02:07:36):
This has been.

Speaker 8 (02:07:39):
Of kind of deferring to presidents on bending the pardon power.
Really does go back to Jimmy Carter. You know, the
Constitution really says nothing about mass pardons, and he was
the first guy who did a mass pardon of most
of the folks who had gone to Canada who had
dodged the draft in Vietnam. He did not appear give

(02:08:00):
any individualized consideration to those folks as would be required
under the constitution. No one challenged it, and those partons
went through. But then actually Trump, in fairness, did something
very similar with the January sixth dependence. It looks like
he partoned about sixteen hundreds of those folks just based
purely on the fact that they had been arrested that day.
So we've been kind of the courts have been sitting
on their hands and letting the presidents sort of expand

(02:08:23):
the power. But that doesn't mean it's right, and it
doesn't mean it's not right for a challenge.

Speaker 1 (02:08:27):
But the challenge requires standing. And that's why I kind
of leaned over toward Rand Paul's going after Fauci, because
there is something there. We do have very very straightforward
evidence that you know, statements of Fauci. He admitted in
his own emails that they were doing gain of function
research in Wuhan, and then he testifies in front of
Congress that they want were not doing gain of function

(02:08:47):
research in Wuhan. So you've got to teed up for
a justiciable controversy. But in the case of let's say
the Vietnam Broad Vietnam Power pardon or the January sixth,
who could challenge that, I mean, who would have standing
to go in a court and say, no, this is
not lawful, this is beyond the power of the president
to do.

Speaker 8 (02:09:07):
No. I think I think he hit the nail on
the head really really nobody. I mean, being upset about
something from a political standpoint or a moral standpoint, you know,
doesn't as you know, doesn't give you legal standing to
go into court.

Speaker 1 (02:09:20):
You know.

Speaker 8 (02:09:20):
Ram Paul, you know, was a member of Congress, and
I think there's pretty clear evidence that Fauci lied to
Congress on multiple occasions.

Speaker 1 (02:09:28):
I mean, that is a felony.

Speaker 8 (02:09:30):
And uh, and I presumed when I read that he
was being pardoned prospectively the idea was to cut off
any potential liability about whether he lied to Congress, I mean,
and and I guess and also to the American people
as a as sort of a predicate to that. So, yeah,
if Ram Paul is really going to push it, he
would be as a sitting member of Congress to one

(02:09:51):
person who might have some legal standing to actually challenge
a pardon and go underneath the hood and see what
really happened. Uh, and to bring some people really before
Congress to justify about what happened. I will note that Comber,
congress Man Comber is sort of going that direction. But
there have been some pretty early indications that the Biden
people are going to be fighting back in a pretty

(02:10:12):
big way. Including you know, I think there've been an
effort already to setina. One of Biden's doctors, guess who
was also basically saying, Okay, these conversations are protected. Yeah,
you know, HIPPA and other privileges. So I think they're
really going.

Speaker 1 (02:10:26):
To put up a fight.

Speaker 8 (02:10:26):
But I think they're you know, I think there is something.

Speaker 1 (02:10:29):
There well, skating on thin eyes. I mean my retort
to that, now, it's certainly the fifth member to be
free of criminal conviction does not cover that doctor for
a variety of different questions they asked. But in so
far as the physician patient privilege is concerned, isn't that
wave when Biden had his records released, when the physician
did the the review of the president and came out
to the general world and said, look, although I didn't

(02:10:51):
do a cognitive exam, everything else is great. His blood
pressure is fine, he's healthy. We got no problem. I mean,
that's a waiver, right there, is it not?

Speaker 8 (02:11:00):
It could be argued that way. I mean typically, I mean,
what what what Biden really did was, or what the
Biden administration did. I'm not even connesced he did this,
But whoever was pulling the strings cherry picked a lot
of things from his medical exam to kind of create
the impression that, you know, that everything was flying cognitively.
But then, of course, you know, there was the debate

(02:11:20):
where it was kind of out there all the world
to see which which undercut that totally. So I mean,
that being said, it's really hard to say. I mean,
there is such a thing as waiver. He would be
opening the door. If it were a traditional piece of litigation,
cherry picking that information absolutely would constitute a waiver. But
you know, in this setting, it's really hard to say.

(02:11:42):
But it definitely was done with with an attempt to
sort of mislead and create a false impression. As we
all saw at that debate that night.

Speaker 1 (02:11:51):
Steve Gooden, moving from taking his lawyer hatting off and
putting on his candidate hat, Steve Gooden forced sin say,
City Council, we're going to hold Steve over and find
out why he's running, what he's all about. One more
segment with the incomparable Steve good In eight sixteen. Right now, first,
a real positive word for a beautiful, positive place, and
yes people are buried there, but it's an opportunity to
just contemplate life and I'm talking about Gate of Heaven

(02:12:12):
Cemetery located at Montgomery Ronald Montgomery Road. Beautiful, beautiful place,
and it's a place to honor life on sacred ground.
That's what it's all about. It's from birth through life,
s milestones passing onto eternal life. Gate of Heaven recognizes
and reveres the sacredness of every phase of the human journey.
That's why it's so beautiful that they want you to
go and contemplate the beauty of life sitting their landscape, surroundings,

(02:12:34):
beautiful walking paths, gorgeous gorgeous trees and flowers. So stop
on end and exhale and relax, pray, heal, meditate. Everybody's
welcome to do so at Gate of Heaven Cemetery. To
learn more, head on over to the website, which is
gateof Heaven dot org. Fifty five krc the talk station

(02:12:54):
seven A twenty rather fifty five KRCD talk station Brian
Thomas or Steve Gooden. I appreciate his legal analysis as
always thoughtful and insightful. It is moving over. You're going
to start, you're going to run for Since a city council,
I saw the charter committee endorse you and four other
folks to run for the election. So far, I think
twelve people already qualify, which means they've handed in their signatures.

(02:13:16):
You need five hundred signatures. Eight of them are currently incumbents.
Victoria Parks is not going to be re running, and
so there are some other candidates out there. You are
now among them. First, let's start with have you got
your signatures yet? Are you in the process of gathering
the signatures? Give until August twenty first to do that.

Speaker 8 (02:13:35):
That's right, I don't have my signatures completed now. We're
actually working on that. That's coming together very quickly time, man.
You know, we have been very gratified by the support
that we've received there, and that seems to be that's
the easy part, frankly, and the enjoyable part is great
going out and talking to people and getting those so
not done, but we'll have those funs shut within the

(02:13:57):
next week or so.

Speaker 1 (02:13:57):
All right. When you took over Jeff pass through seat,
we all know the story behind Jeff Pastor, but you
were appointed to his seat. You serve from twenty twenty
to twenty twenty two as an appointed Republican, and yet
you are endorsed by the Charter Committee. So you're running
as a Charter Right. Remind my listeners what the Charter
Committee or the Charter Rights stand for. And then how
is it you chose to run under that moniker?

Speaker 8 (02:14:20):
Well, well, you know, the Charter Party is the oldest
municipal third party in the country. It was formed in
nineteen twenty four to fight back really against one party rule.

Speaker 1 (02:14:31):
At the time. You had Boss Cox and yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:14:34):
Back when this was a very republican city and his
group and he ran the city with an iron fist,
and there was corruption, Our infrastructure was crumbling, there was
crime everywhere. Every member of council was one party. I
don't know if that sounds familiar to anybody, but let's
going on right now. The Charter Party has over the years,

(02:14:56):
you know, has run some incredible candidates. Everyone from Ted
Airy was the first a American mayor in the late fifties,
you know, up through you know, folks like Kevin Flynn,
Devin Barbel. It's always been the kind of common sense,
good government party that doesn't get involved in national issues,
focuses solely on municipal issues, public safety, infrastructure, and the

(02:15:16):
things that people are really crying out for now and Charter.
I've always been involved with the Charter Party for the
last twenty years. They've endorsed me every time i've run.
It's kind of taken a back seat in the last
couple of cycles because of the emphasis, even in local
elections on national issues. But our feeling this year was
that this is the time when purely Cincinnati issues have

(02:15:39):
come to the forefront. The folks that are running sat
Hall right now, from the administration to the mayor to
the city council members, they think they're running San Francisco,
and they're not. They're running Cincinnati. And really a lot
of the folks involved in the Charter movement are what
we used to call blue dog democrats. They're common sense democrats.
They're people who just just can't take it anymore. They're

(02:16:00):
sick about the spiraling crime rates and over the run
in downtown and in most of our neighborhoods. They're sick
about this connected communities nonsense, which is just a total
attack on single family home ownership. They're sick about the
state of the roads, and they're really just sick about
City Hall not listening. So this is we feel this
is the time to bring the Charter party back and

(02:16:22):
to just absolutely pull the focus back on the common
sense Cincinnati specific issues, fixing our police staffing problem, fixing
our police morale problem, fixing our fire department, and putting
the money we do have into things that people care about,
like public safety and fixing our roads.

Speaker 1 (02:16:40):
Well, it all sounds great to me, Steve Gooden, and
I know you stand for logic and reason and you
will be an outstanding addition to Sin Sai City Council.
We'll have you on more to talk about your race
when you get everything up and running. Obviously you're going
to get your five hundred signatures, There's no question in
my mind about that. So when you get a website
up and running, you need help, need contributions, need people
dorm door knocking. You come on the five Cadcy Morning

(02:17:00):
Show will spread the word on that.

Speaker 8 (02:17:03):
Thank you so much, Brandon. Look, I can't tell you
what it means for you to take the time to
talk about these city issues. A lot of people had
given up on the city right now, and they should not.
There is a common sense coalition emerging here with both
parties to try to take this back. So thank you
so much.

Speaker 2 (02:17:19):
For this.

Speaker 1 (02:17:20):
Oh listen, man, it's my pleasure. I mean when I
see representative government fail as epically as city council and
the mayor has failed the citizens of the City of Cincinnati.
Most notably, they screwed everybody, everybody, foisting connected communities on
an every neighborhood. And then look what they did the
Hyde Park. They gave this well connected developer a waiver
for the very program they foisted on everybody, so they

(02:17:41):
could completely transform the dynamic of High Park Square in
the face of the vast majority of folks that live
in Hyde Parks opposition to that. I mean, that's a
failure of representative government period.

Speaker 8 (02:17:53):
It was a disgrace, yes, and those folks are very
fired up. Those are people who had voted for and
supported this council when you study the last election results,
who I think are going to take a very very
different approach right now. I mean, this group is as
simple as this, This group they're bad at government. It's
that simple.

Speaker 1 (02:18:12):
Amen to that, Let's get Steve good and elected and
improve government in City of Cincinnati. Steve, You're always welcome
here in the Morning show, and I cannot thank you
enough for your thoughtful legal analysis anytime, Brian, thank you
so much. Thanks brother. You find him at Porterwrite dot com.

Hey thirty even about KRC the talk station. Friday Eve,
It is that time of week I always look forward to.
I heard me The aviation expert Jay Ratlow joins the
program of talk Aviation issues. Of course, that's his area
of expertise that in stock trading. Nice couple of days
you had there. He always lets me tell out that
he makes, which cracks me up. You doing a good job, Jay, Well, I.

Speaker 11 (02:19:54):
Just see it's a bit it's patients that I teach
my students. If you can just be patient, the opportunities
are there. And you know, my students sometimes will send
me an email, Jay, only made six percent here, and they're.

Speaker 2 (02:20:04):
Ticked, and I'm like, what you'll do would take to
make six.

Speaker 10 (02:20:07):
Percent using anything else? Anywhere else?

Speaker 8 (02:20:10):
Though?

Speaker 11 (02:20:10):
Yeah, Sometimes when your expectations are high, you have you
know a little bit you two tip. It's like you
you know you've got high expectations of yourself, and you know,
anything less than that you don't find totally satisfactory. I
spend a lot of time reminding my students that you
know when you're doing what other people consider impossible. Yeah,
I appreciate every win because those smaller.

Speaker 10 (02:20:31):
Gains that up.

Speaker 1 (02:20:31):
Good point, Jay, good point. I always appreciate your optimism too.
Let us start if you don't mind what's going out
order here, because the Air India crash has got all
the rage, we get this initial report that suggests the
one of the two pilots turned the fuel switches off.
There are switches in the airplane which allow you to
cut the fuel to the engines. Now you may want
to explain the reason why those even exist, but there's

(02:20:54):
it's I guess fairly well confirmed that the flight data
recorder indicates that those switches were turned off shortly after takeoff.
One of the pilots asked the other one why he
did that, and he claimed he did not do that.
There was an effort to turn the switches back on,
but by then it was too late. What this I mean?
It's sounding intentional, Jay, And this wouldn't be the first
intentional murder slash suicide that's happened on aircraft before it

(02:21:19):
would not.

Speaker 11 (02:21:20):
Be And obviously we're talking about the initial report that
was just a few weeks after the accident itself, and
the final report.

Speaker 10 (02:21:29):
Is a good twelve months or so down the road.

Speaker 11 (02:21:32):
But the fuel control switches, there are times when you
do need to cut the fuel flow to a specific
engine if.

Speaker 10 (02:21:40):
You're having problems with it.

Speaker 11 (02:21:42):
And there's two switches and they's spring controlled, spring loaded,
I guess is a better way to phrase it.

Speaker 10 (02:21:48):
And you just grab it and you pull it straight.

Speaker 11 (02:21:50):
Out and then over a little thing in the middle
and then drop it back into place again with the
assistance of the spring, so you can't.

Speaker 1 (02:21:56):
Bump it off. That's I mean. The point is, yeah,
it requires is a specific mechanical action that pulling out component.

Speaker 10 (02:22:03):
Right, And there's two black boxes.

Speaker 11 (02:22:05):
The flight data recorder is what investigators were able to
glean the information from That said, shortly after rotation, in
other words, just as the wheels left the runway is
when they were put into the off position, and you
can hear that on the cockpit voice recorder, which is
just not the voices, but you could hear the click

(02:22:28):
of each one of those being put in or repositioned
one after the other, and because of the location, there
would be something you would do one at a time.
Left to right is typically how the flight crew would
do it, but hero is a situation where you don't
know why it took place. Now, a lot of times,

(02:22:48):
as a matter of procedure, if you're flying the airplane,
when you get to the gate, one of the last
things you'll do is cut the fuel to the engines.
It's just a precautionary measure. Stop the float to the
aircraft engine, just part of the protocol. There might be
times in flight where you've got a problem with an
engine and you need to cut one or even both

(02:23:08):
off at a specific time, but Brian, you.

Speaker 10 (02:23:11):
Never do it right after takeoffs.

Speaker 11 (02:23:13):
And they were in the off position reportedly from this
initial report for about ten seconds before they were put back.
One of the engines started to respond, but sixty second
flight they didn't have nearly enough time. But the Wall
Street Journal reported that the pilot that apparently did it

(02:23:33):
is considered to be the captain. Now, I know a
lot of times the thought was, okay, could have been
this junior first officer, But you know, the junior first
officer was one that was flying the airplane. His hands
were full. You've got the captain that was monitoring, because
the pilot and command at that point in time of
the aircraft was the first officer, and apparently it was

(02:23:55):
him that looked to the captain and said, why do
you turn those offs, to which he responded he did not. Now,
could it be something where he did something where he was.

Speaker 10 (02:24:04):
Thinking something else?

Speaker 11 (02:24:05):
Typically not, because when that procedure happens, it's a it's
a it's a process where you say you're about to
do it, the other pilot uh, you know, confirms, and
then the action is done. The fingers put on the
switch and again it's communicated, you know, cutting power to
engine two done. It's a back and forth thing where

(02:24:27):
you don't have one pilot acting on their own. It's
a team effort in everything. So sadly, this latest revelation
and the one from the initial report could suggest that
we could go through this entire year long investigation.

Speaker 10 (02:24:43):
And not really have a good idea of why it happened.
But we know what took place, but the why aspect
of it not.

Speaker 11 (02:24:50):
Now, this is going to be something that you can
hear a lot of people talking about why we need
a cameras in the cockpit, which pilots are dead set against.

Speaker 10 (02:24:59):
I think that they be there.

Speaker 11 (02:25:00):
They're in trains and buses and all these other kinds
of things everywhere, So don't I don't you know, I
don't agree with that at all. But the other thing
that is going to be pushing here is, oh, here
we go, Jay, yet another crash, another loss of life
due to pilot air And isn't it time that we
have more automation in the cockpit? Yea, that we can

(02:25:21):
have fewer pilots. And even though I'm against the idea,
it's a fair argument to have.

Speaker 1 (02:25:28):
Well, yeah, and you know, Holman Jenkins made that argument today.
He just brought up the concept. But we wouldn't have
to completely remove the pilots to incorporate automation. One of
the suggestions he had was, why not have you know,
ground based ability to take over control of the flight. Well,
that doesn't eliminate human error, but how about artificial intelligence?
You know, like the seven thirty seven Max software upgrade
that they didn't bother telling pilots about to have AI.

(02:25:50):
Scream at the pilots you're doing it? Wrong, or do
this rather than what you're doing, or stop what you
are doing. I mean that seems like an easy extension
of the intelligence we already had.

Speaker 11 (02:26:00):
Now well, and it's there because you know, when Air
India flight took off, there was a lot of people
saying that the flaps weren't in the proper sets for takeoff.

Speaker 10 (02:26:10):
And I'm thinking, well, then.

Speaker 11 (02:26:11):
You're ignoring a very loud screeching sound in the cockpit
because that aircraft is going to tell you the flaps
are not set for takeoff as you're starting to roll.
So that's something that we already have. So we've got
the automation, the protective systems within the cockpit and avi
onyx that we have as a package on a lot

(02:26:33):
of different aspects of the operation. You don't have the
landing gear down as you approach the ground and alarm sounds.
All these things are there to help the pilots who
may have a lot of things going on to remember
to do specific things, but something like that, you know,
to not you know, plus the engines are humming and
you at that point of rotation, they're mum room.

Speaker 10 (02:26:56):
I mean they've got that.

Speaker 11 (02:26:57):
Deep rumble and you cut the power on those you're
immediately going to know it because they're going to start
to spool down, So that in itself is an audio
alert that something's wrong. So we have some of that
stuff built in that's there, But you know, if somebody's intent,
I don't care. If the ground does have the capability

(02:27:17):
to take over, there's always going to be a way
on board for the aircraft crew members to override it
if there's something else that's going ongoing that maybe isn't
initially detected. So there's a lot of questions here, and
we're gonna have to wait and see where things go.

Speaker 10 (02:27:34):
They're looking into the.

Speaker 11 (02:27:34):
Mental health of the pilots, and a lot of pilot
union people have talked to and I have students that
are commercial pilots are saying, you know, let's be very
slow as we rush the judgment here.

Speaker 10 (02:27:44):
And I certainly agree that we need to do that,
but it does not look good.

Speaker 11 (02:27:50):
And the way you honor the lives of people that
were lost is okay. If it was a mechanical situation,
let's fix it and move on. When it involves possible
mental health, that's.

Speaker 1 (02:28:00):
A totally different post.

Speaker 10 (02:28:02):
And then you're looking at your crew members when they
get on like okay, are you okay to fly today?
And that's an unsettling thought.

Speaker 1 (02:28:10):
It is certainly an unsettling thought. And maybe when something
like that outside of the ability of a non medical
professional to clearly assess. Let's bring Jay Ratliffe back out
more to talk about including idiots doing idiot things because
they're idiots. It's eight thirty nine right now. If you
have kc DE talk station fifty five KRC, did you pass?
I heard me the aviation expert Jay Radboff moving away

(02:28:33):
real quick here before we pass on air Andy. I
just got to ask it because it came up earlier
in the conversations this morning with listeners. Do they ever
do any follow up mental health screenings of pilots like
throughout their career, like hey, every year you got to
come in and do a psych check or something like that.

Speaker 11 (02:28:47):
Now we have the overall fitness part of it, the
mental health aspect is encouraged, but unless it's depending on
an airline and something, I'm not a way where most
of the time it is not there as needed. And
fortunately there's a lot of pilots that take advantage of that.
And you know why, pilots would be considered immune from

(02:29:09):
all the things that impact all of us and all
these other different professions.

Speaker 10 (02:29:13):
I mean, obviously those men and women go through a lot.

Speaker 11 (02:29:16):
So yeah, it's there for them as they need and
fortunate a lot of people take advantage.

Speaker 1 (02:29:22):
Of it, all right, And why would someone punch a
United Airlines gate agent Jay Ratliffe.

Speaker 11 (02:29:28):
Well, normally alcohol is involved. This was at the Washington
and A Dallas Airport. You had a delayed flight, and
anytime you have a really delayed flight, you know people
are going to be spending time relaxing alcohol. And there
was a man that came up. He started yelling at
the gate agent. He actually took his boarding passes that
I refused to fly, tore it up, and then storm back.

Speaker 10 (02:29:51):
To the ticket counter demanded another one. Well, but the.

Speaker 11 (02:29:53):
Captain is aware of some of this, it's ongoing. So
the captain you know, shows up and pulls up the
the passenger off to the side and says, you're not
flying on this airplane. I mean, it's just we'll help
you on another flight, but you're not gonna be on
my aircraft. Well, the guy gets mad and walks over
to the gate agent and punches him and knocks the
gate agent out. Well, the passengers arrested off he goes.

(02:30:17):
He could have faced ten years in prison, two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars fine, as these always are, it's
flea dealed down where I think he had to pay
fifteen thousand to the gate agent he knocked out. He
will face the fine from the FAA, be banned from
flying United Airlines ever again. But you know he can
fly Delta tomorrow, Yes, the next day, all these other

(02:30:39):
US carriers. A man who's proven to be a threat
to fellow passengers and other crew members, perhaps it's allowed
to fly. And I just I think that's wrong. Now,
if it's a situation where they get in an argument, disagreement,
you know, blah blah. Okay, I get that, we don't
want to ban somebody like that. To me, here's a

(02:31:00):
very clear case. You can't put them on the terror
watch list, but a clear case of where okay, you've
lost your flying privileges, which is what it is. It
is for a year, for two years something where there's
some significance with regards to consequences, and Brian, it just
doesn't exist because airlines aren't willing to create something like

(02:31:23):
that because it's at a cost for them to create
that kind of database, manage that database to keep these
individuals off the fly.

Speaker 1 (02:31:30):
All right, well, I guess Delta Airlines is looking to
maximize profits. Now they're going to be using artificial intelligence
to do that. Jay Ratliff will come back and tell
us how that's going to work. Plus hub delays one

Hey forty eighth and five krc DE talk station Happy

one more here with I art media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe,
Artificial intelligence creeping in everywhere and og, there's a pesky
profit motive over Delta Airlines. How are they using AI
to maximize their profits?

Speaker 11 (02:33:32):
Jay, Well, you know, most of the time, and for decades,
airlines abuse what we call a static pricing model for
their pricing and their seats. So so x percentage at
this low price, and then a slightly lower percent at
a higher price, and it goes from there and as
each one's ticked off the available seats, the fare goes up. Well,
Delta has been using over the last several years artificial

(02:33:55):
intelligence as a way to kind of boost their profits.
Now they're saying, we're doing this because it gives the
customer the price they're willing to pay. So it's they're
saying it's a good thing for consumers. Now, this is
also the same airline that was caught charging more for
a single traveler than for a couple traveling on the

(02:34:16):
same route, so sometimes up to seventy percent more So,
am I going to necessarily believe that this increase in
AI pricing is for my benefit? No, it's it's for
profit and Delta right now is planning as much as
twenty percent of their fares to be based on artificial
intelligence pricing. And obviously Delta right now is leading the

(02:34:39):
pack with regards to the revenue their performance. They're just
a very very well ran airline and they will be
setting the pace for other airlines because they'll follow this
as well. So artificial intelligence as it's in its infancy,
if you will, and a lot of aspects and businesses.
It's the exact same thing here where airlines can use

(02:34:59):
this a for pricing, they're certainly using it for customer
service where they have artificial intelligence responding to people as
they have various questions and things. And it's back to
the more technology we have, the cheaper it will be
for us because we do not have to worry about
employee costs and benefits and all the things that go

(02:35:19):
with that. And yeah, they're running in this direction as
fast as they can. So but I love Delta, they
are my carrier of choice, But I am not going
to believe artificial intelligence that being put in place for.

Speaker 10 (02:35:31):
My benefit of pricing.

Speaker 1 (02:35:33):
That's a safe bet.

Speaker 8 (02:35:34):
Jay.

Speaker 1 (02:35:35):
Now, I guess the AI will probably be performing some
sort of actuarial analysis in order to determine pricing, Like
I guess, they could figure out which flights to which
destination typically have more business travelers and those are the
ones that are willing to pay the most money for
a ticket, as opposed to like maybe holiday destinations where
people have the luxury to plan a year in advance
for their flight.

Speaker 11 (02:35:56):
And it can also look back to what Jay's paid
on previous tickets, so it's already got an idea of
what is comfortable for me and what is not. So
with that kind of mindset, the thought is, well, you know,
Jay and Sherry paid this for this trip on this day,
So even though the actual fare could be maybe lower,

(02:36:16):
you know, wow, it's out there.

Speaker 10 (02:36:18):
I mean, the possibilities are endless.

Speaker 1 (02:36:21):
Oh without question where they.

Speaker 11 (02:36:23):
Could go with this, And if they're going to base
it on individuals, then what they're telling me is, Jay,
we're going to look at your spending habits, we're going
to look at your travel preferences. We're gonna blah blah
blah blah blah, and that's the package that you're going
to be presented. No, I want to be able to
look across the way and you know, see what's the
best fair that I can give, schedule those types of things.
But we all have different travel patterns and as a result,

(02:36:47):
sometimes it's how you pay for your ticket, or how
far in advance you make your reservation, or do you
fly one way around trip more often than that. I mean,
there's so many factors that go into you know, the
the behind the scenes logistics, if you will, of someone's travel.

Speaker 10 (02:37:04):
Yeah, habits that a lot of.

Speaker 11 (02:37:06):
This stuff can be fed into this artificial intelligence that
can better match me for what I'm looking for, which, sadly,
I think my opinion could cause me sometimes to overpay
for something I shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (02:37:18):
Well exactly, And I suppose that the scenario you painted
where they're using AI on an individual passenger basis, I
could be sitting in the room right next to you
on my computer. I have a different travel in an
airline usage. I've paid less or more than you. I
could plug the same flight, same day, departure, same flight,
and end up with a higher price ticket than you,

(02:37:39):
even though we're doing it at the same time, in
the same room.

Speaker 10 (02:37:42):
On the same flight, same days. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:37:44):
Yep, ah wow, which can also be the case because
a lot of times people will contact me and said, Jay,
you know, I found a flight to this country for
this price.

Speaker 10 (02:37:53):
What do you think.

Speaker 11 (02:37:54):
I'm thinking, Oh, it's probably gone by now because a
lot of times those prices, there might be three seats
when you check availability, and it's there because you have
last seat availability on most of the online systems you're
using with the airline, and yeah there is only one
seat left or two seats left or whatever. So it's
grab it as you can. So I'm used to people

(02:38:15):
paying different fares. What I'm not used to is the
computer looking at me saying here's Jay's travel history and
matching something with that that may not be my best interest.

Speaker 8 (02:38:26):
Now.

Speaker 10 (02:38:27):
You know, Delta again does a lot of things, right.
They make a ton of money.

Speaker 11 (02:38:31):
They recently had some good news on earnings and some
of their future outlook and things, and they're kind of
the exception to the rule right now within the transportation field.

Speaker 10 (02:38:40):
So if Delta does this, look.

Speaker 11 (02:38:42):
For other airlines, Oh yeah, well a hamstring running in
that direction to get there.

Speaker 1 (02:38:46):
Both the Domino's fault. All right. For those who are
flying today, what's it look like in terms of air
travel and hubblaze.

Speaker 11 (02:38:52):
We've had a good morning, which means if you catch
that first light out in the morning as I like
to do, off to a good start. But a lot
of the rain is headed towards Ball is going to
give us issues. And of course the Gulf coast is
getting soaked today. But from a hub stand point, we
should be okay. But those afternoon aggravating pop up thunderstorms
could happen anywhere, which could cause some problems with Brian.

(02:39:13):
All in all, it's going to be a pretty good
day to fly, but a day of turbulence. If you
are going to be flying nothing dangerous, just keep your
seat belt about you so that you just don't kiss
the ceiling when you.

Speaker 10 (02:39:23):
Weren't expecting it.

Speaker 1 (02:39:24):
Amen to that day, Ratliff, thank you as always for
your time with my listeners and me every Thursday. I'll
look forward to next Thursday and another discussion and between
now and then, as always you and your better half
that's the health and enjoy you the rest of your week.

Speaker 10 (02:39:36):
I'll keep up the good work, my friend.

Speaker 8 (02:39:37):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:39:37):
Thanks brother. Always a pleasure eight fifty five fifty five
kre Steve Talks Stations. What a pleasure having Congressman Warren
Davidson on the program, we talked about the Recisions package,
We talked about Ukraine and giving them weapons. We talked
about defense spending and is he behind Thomas Messi's effort
