Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The talk station five O five A fifty five k
r C, the talk station eating Still Mageddon, something.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Will Winter is coming.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I asked Joe for the show started. I said, you're
gonna get out the guy. I got the bread and milk.
Sound body goes not got a different one? You know,
winter is coming. I saw an article in New York
Post this morning, empty store shelves from all over the
swath of the country that's going to be hit by
the impending snowstorm. Everybody just looting the stores for all

(00:58):
the bread and milk the stores have stocked. They are
expecting some significant snow about eight inches here in the
greater Cincinnati area. To the north maybe six and to
the south a little bit more about ten inches, phrasing
Joseph Owen, Grand Pendleton Bracken in Kentucky. Folks are looking
at about ten so anyway, Yeah, hurry up and get

(01:22):
to the grocery store and get your bread and milk
anyway while it's still there. Very happy Friday Eve to you.
I always welcome phone calls and I would love to
hear from you. Five point three seven four nine fifty
five eight hundred eighty two to three Taco with top
five fifty on AT and T phone kind of confused
about where to go today. I think I can boil
down the whole Greenland thing. We're not going to war

(01:43):
for over Greenland, and Trump has negotiated some sort of deal.
We don't know the details of it yet, but everyone
seems to have sort of gone to a neutral corner
and cooler heads are prevailing. And the market reacted yesterday
by going back up again in the wake of the
news that we were going to invade Greenland. That's not happening.
I don't know that the trip was necessarily important. Over

(02:06):
the road was necessarily important to go down for Donald Trump.
A lot of people pushing back at a lot of
Americans not real thrilled with the idea of a military
takeover at Greenland. You put me in that camp. I
know how strategic the land mass is. But you know,
there's there's a lot of things at play here, relationships,
long standing ones, you know, the future global world order.

(02:31):
The obvious weird point about this whole thing is we
got a military base there, and apparently a cord to
the treaty that allowed us to have that base there.
I think it was started in nineteen fifty one, we
could build on it. Apparently we could do whatever the
hell we want with Greenland. I may be overstating that
a little bit, but the actual ownership of the property,

(02:52):
I don't know that we needed to disrupt that. But
in any of that, it seems to have all gone swimmingly.
And Trump pulled no punches over in Davos, and he's
having a real go at them, just giving him my
full ear given the European Union generally speaking, a full earful,
most notably about the crazy immigration policy they're dealing with,
and of course one that we're dealing with a little
bit more effectively under the Trump administration. I would argue

(03:12):
that the Biden administration, which obviously got the globalist memo
that we need to water down our culture and water
down all things that make us uniquely American and ergo
uniquely prosperous in this well crazy world we live in,
need to protect that. It was kind of an interesting
thing along those lines. Somali born activists. I get some

(03:38):
comments from her, and boy, look, she's Somali, She's a
woman of color. Can she make statements like this without
being called a racist? Hey, Joe, can a black Somalian,
a former Somalian woman who grew up and had experienced
a severe repression, genital mutilation, among other really horrific tragedies

(04:03):
in her life, and got out of Somali only to
become a critic of Somali and all things Similian. Can
she be called a racist for that? Yes?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Okay? Huh? Is that like that Dave Chappelle Black Klansman skit?
You remember that one? Yeah? Anyhow, maybe your comments on
that one five three seven four two three talk on
five fifty on AT and T phones. So we'll get

(04:35):
to hurt in the moment here. But coming up with
the fifty five Krsey Morning Show, Congressman Warren Davidson seven
oh five with the Congressman, will the government shut down?
On January thirtieth, We're still waiting around for the Epstein files.
Bill and Hillary Clinton trying to finagle themselves out of
a contempt finding. You know what puzzles me about that.
I know that you know that the subpoeno wasition Bill
Hillary Clint. They're supposed to come in and testify. They

(04:56):
refuse to testify, so they're gonna be held in contempt.
And they had a the other day, holding them in
contempt came out of committee. Whether the whole House votes
find him in contempt remains me seen, But I guess
I'm puzzled by the timing on I think they should
be subpoena. If they are subpoena, like you or I
got to go in and testify, have it under transcript
all that. No, we're not doing it behind closed doors.
We're going to do it in a full room with

(05:17):
everybody witnessing and a transcript being that. Fine, have we
gotten all the Epstein files yet? He asked out loud,
knowing the full answer. The question is no, How can
you properly depose? This is coming from a lawyer's perspective,
but anybody can come up with this perspective. It doesn't
require any measure of knowledge of the law. But if
you're going to depose someone over their involvement with some individual,

(05:38):
and there's a whole ton of documents in the background,
and apparently no one at least in the American public
has ever seen before, wouldn't you want those documents maybe
have a look at them before you bring in someone
to testify on the subject matter that may very well
be included in those documents. Yes, the answer is yes.
So I don't understand the rush, but you know who

(05:59):
am I? But you know? Back to Congressman Davidson, where
are the damn documents? And finally he filing in to
represent the eighth district. Yes, And in parenthetical notes on
the fifty five K see morning show run down, Congressman
Warren Davidson. If you're out there listening, you already have
secured Drostrekkers vote one to nothing already, Joe says. Theoretically speaking,

(06:25):
LUs Joe, you figured out a way to actually cast
a vote in advance of the November election. I don't lie.
Listen if you're voting for Congressman Warren Davidson, I don't
care how you cast the vote. See, it's okay if
we on our side of the political ledger commit fraud,
but it's not okay for them, Right. That's the kind
of thinking the Democrats work through. They justify their own
fraud and abuse by saying, well, it's for us, Erico,

(06:48):
we have the moral high ground, and we're allowed to
break the law to advance our positions. Just don't let
those evil Orange Man people do it or whatever. Anyway,
what is this equal timer quest equal time because I
had who want Joe? It was a time when I
was off. So Kevin Gordon interviewed someone from Kentucky, and

(07:13):
now I have to give equal time. Okay, ah, I listen,
this is equal time. Look, Jimmy Kimmel's going to have
to have equal time. Apparently FCC's targeting these left wing
outlets for not giving equal time to GOP guests. Huh
how about that? I was kind of wondering about the
stretch of equal time. They announced yesterday they're providing guidance

(07:34):
to the three broadcast networks, the Big Three, to adhere
to the quote statutory equal opportunities requirement close quotes signing
the Communications Act in nineteen thirty four, including the airing
of late night and daytime talk shows. Under that section
of a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidate for
public office to use its facilities. It shall that's a

(07:56):
shall word provide an equal opportunity to all other legally
qualified candidates for that office. Says There's been a long
standing bonified exception for news programming that wouldn't require equal
time for an opposition candidate, But the FCC now says
it has not been presented with any evidence that the

(08:16):
interview portion of any late night or daytime television show
program on the air presently would qualify for the bonafide
news exemption. Huh, well, that's an interesting development. We've always
honored equal time to the extend it applies to any
given candidate. Here on the Morning Show, nine times out
of ten we don't get a request. So what am

(08:38):
I rambling about the seven thirty guests joining the Morning show?
Congressman Andy Barr Kentucky sixth District running for US Senate
in Kentucky. I see the parenthetical written by my executive
producer Yirdle the Turtles old seat. No fan of Yurdle,

(09:04):
It's not Ram Pulsey, of course not. No one would
confuse Ran Paul with the ordol of the turtle. But
I think it goes without saying. We all know who
you mean when you wrote down Yurdl of the Turtle.
On my rundown eight oh five, Jim lewis building blocks
for Liberty Constitution boot camp going on this weekend in Dayton.
Jim lewis they'll join the program at eight oh five,
and of course it being Friday Eve yay. Finishing out

(09:25):
the morning show with iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe
with a huge list of topics. We'll see if I
can't add on to one, because I always throw them.
I try to always throw them a curveball. Anyhow is
I n Hersey Ali, a rasist, Trump, speaking of the

(09:47):
World Economic Forum in Davos yesterday, declared Western civilization must
defend itself from an existential attack. You know who said
Trump is right, Somali born activist author Ian Hersy Ali.
Look I see a picture of her. She's a woman
of color, and she's Somali.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Not the preferred nomenclature.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Let us see here, Trump said, described as shocking the
politicians and leaders that were gathered in Switzerland. The West
cannot mass import foreign cultures. Quote the situation in Minnesota
reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures
which have failed to ever build a successful society of
their own. We're talking at taking rather people from Somalia,

(10:35):
and Somali is a failed state. It's not a nation.
Got no government, got no police, got no military, got
no nothing. Explosion of prosperity and conclusion and progress that
built the West did not come from our tax cuts.
That ultimately came from our very special culture. This is
the precious inheritance that America and Europe have in common.

(10:58):
We share it. We have to keep strong, keep it strong.
We have to become strong or more successful, more prosperous
than ever. We have to defend that culture and rediscover
the spirit that lifted the West from the depth of
the dark ages to the pinnacle of human achievement. He's
kind of referring loosely to meritocracy and freedoms generally. Oh,

(11:21):
thank you, Keith. It was Clayton Bigsby Joe that was
the Chappelle character the Black Clans member Clayton. Thank you. Keith.
Pre sent me an email in response, is she racist?
Hersy Ali? Speaking of Fox News? I don't think it's

(11:41):
an important thing. I think it's the most important thing.
Trump is right, and I can't think of a better
and more powerful platform than that of the President of
the United States to say, hey, you guys, wake up. Huh.
I think every American and every Europeans should know that
what the President is trying to say is that what Maine,

(12:03):
America and Europe great is there is this unique is
there's this unique culture. If we don't understand that culture,
and if we do not defend it, we risk losing it.
The economy is very important, military is very important, all
these other aspects of government are extremely important. But more
important than all of that is our value system and

(12:25):
it's our heritage in our national identity. Regarding Trump's critique
of the Somali immigrant population's involvement in the Minnesota fraud scandal,
is she racist? Hersy Ali said, I wholeheartedly agree with
the president. The President is right when he says Somalia

(12:48):
hasn't even made it into a nation. Every attempt at
building something, making something out of Somalia has always failed
because of the clan code, little to see, because of Islam,
because of Marxism. We've had all the bad ideologies and
as Somalis, we've run away with them. Hm. She also

(13:14):
said the situation Minnesota exposes what she calls a subversive
agenda in the United States to transform it and to
islamize it or islamize it using American institutions. In the
American vocabulary of civil rights. Here you go. You see

(13:35):
that the Somalis exploit and extract the benefit system. This
is her words, they tell everyone, if you expose this
investigated object to it, stop it. You're a racist, you're
an islamophobe, you're a bigot. If we keep on doing
what we're doing, getting a huge numbers of people from

(13:57):
third world to come and establish themselves in the United
States in European countries and depend on welfare benefits, that is,
to take and take and never contribute, then we're setting
ourselves up not only for failure, we're committing a cultural
and national and political suicide. Hum Now, who can argue

(14:21):
with that. We've got to force them to either assimilate,
refer to the smadel communities, or we've got to give
them that choice and say, if you don't want to
assimilate into American society, then you will be denaturalized. This
isn't a joke, like, oh yeah, it's another day in politics.
It's existential. Hmm. She's also said, you know, JD. Vance

(14:47):
put it this way, it's not what we are fighting against,
but what are we fighting for? What are we fighting
to preserve? If you can't answer that question that, I
think you are lost, and the European leaders are lost,
and I think Keith Donald Trump trying to help them

(15:08):
find their way. Wow, does that make her racist? Joe
says very much so. Oh And notably, as a child
in Somalia, Fox News reporting that she was subjected to
a severe form of genital mutilation, fleeing the country later
in life to escape a forced marriage and serve as

(15:29):
a Dutch lawmaker now based in the United States, using
her platform to advocate for women's rights, not the preferred nomenclature,
critique Islam, and voice support for Western greatness having seen
the other side, comparing it to Western greatness. I guess
she has thoroughly concluded, having experienced the horrors of her

(15:51):
childhood there and seeing the failed realities of Somalia, that
it's a failed state, and know that it's not races
to criticize those that would come here take from us
not just welfare benefits, even if they're legitimately entitled to it,

(16:12):
but also engage in organized crime to steal from us
five twenty one, thirty five k C Detalk station Notably,
that could be any country in the world, filled with
any color person in the world. If it's a fouled state,
people are leaving it because it's a failed state. They
want to come here and they want to hook themselves
up to the midical Court of Government. We can all
be critical of its, notably if they entered our country

(16:33):
illegally and then went on to engage in criminal activity.
Stick around to me right back.

Speaker 4 (16:38):

I went a rambling on that last segment. Already had
a time five one three seven nine, fifty five eight
two three talk found five fifty on AT and T
phones number fifty five Carsea dot com. You try Heart
Media Absolute, you can stream wherever you happen to be.
He get the podcast and I'll have a sort of

(17:50):
extension on the article of the op ed piece I
thought was great yesterday. That's why I read it though,
why the modern Democratic Party is a kleptocracy. You can
either hear me read it or you can read it
for yourself. All the link at fifty five kro see

Stephen Urbeck, who's running for Congress. Those podcasts fifty five
krs dot com give me a ring that or I'm
going to dive into local stories. Either way, you want
to go, We'll go there. I'll be right back. Wait,
don't you hear the story, the plot of the story.

(18:33):
It is nice to feel like I want to smile
and laugh. I spill an ill over the last several
days because of that damn gema treatment. My wife looks
at me. I'm sitting on the couch just Twuly wiped out.
She comes in the room, she goes, can't you even
just try to smile? I said, I just don't have
it in me. I had no feelings of emotion along

(18:55):
the lines of happiness, elation, Thank you Dad, God, rest
you man. But today I feel in a perky mood.
A couple of callers online begin with Jay Jay, thanks
for calling it a Happy Friday Eve to you.

Speaker 5 (19:07):
My friend, Hety, Happy Friday Eve, Brian, praying for you man.
Thanks brother, I have been for a while listeners to do.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Really appreciate it. Yeah, and you don't need to just
focus on me anybody who's dealing with illness or cancer. However,
it happens to be just a general prayer for those
who are are struggling with any kind of major illness.
I don't feel like I'm deserving of an independent specific prayer,
but I'm happy to share any prayers out there with
all those who are struggling with ailments. So thanks though,

(19:35):
I really it really means a lot to meet Jay.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Go ahead, Oh, no problem. He wanted to bring up
that I was listening to Glenn Beck the other day
and they had the Auditor General or the auditor of
the state of Montana on and about They talked to
him about the fraud that he was finding out in Montana,
and it was it was in the millions, not billions

(19:58):
like Ohio Andnnesota, and it was so refreshing to hear
the state auditors say, we're on it, we found it,
we shut it down, we're going after the bad guys,
and we've reached out to federal law enforcement because this
crossed the state line, so we're going after them no
matter where they're at that because it went down into California,

(20:20):
New Mexico and they were uncovering the whole chain, the
whole thing that was going on versus our auditor, Keith Faber,
who was on your program years ago, and his comment was,
it's hard, it's complicated.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
There's eighty eight counties.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
It looks like a whole lot of work, and I
would rather not And what I would tell listeners is
elections to have consequences, So don't just, you know, go
into the voting booth and pull the lever for somebody
like Keith Faber. He does not deserve to be put
back in there. I would say the same thing with
the Attorney General, Dave Yost and a whole lot of

(21:00):
other Republicans that haven't had a seated power that had
to have known what we know that this fraud has
been rampant in the state of Ohio. Again, we came
out last on the CMS last time that there was
the mandatory report came out by law, we were in
last place. So everybody just buckle up what we've been
talking about for years. I don't think Minnesota is going

(21:23):
to be the worst out there. I think likely based
on data, Ohio is going to be the worst out there.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Want to build me up there. I think based on
population numbers alone, plus the idea that California is run
exclusively by Democrats. And I know that's an overstatement, but
primarily I think California is going to be the worst
of the worst when it all comes out.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
But you know it.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Online betting sites probably take a bet on that one.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
Well, I think when I added up to numbers, Brian,
it was Ohio equaled California, New York and a third
state combined on improper payment rates. The last time we
got to look at the mandatory report that by law,
the CMS is supposed to generate.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
All I can say is, hmm, how do they know
what is basically fraudulent? I mean, how are they able
to call up that number if they haven't done the
basic underlying auditing work you referred to earlier. Oh my god,
we have eighty eight kennies. It's too complicated to do.
How does someone arrive at any given figure based upon
well or without actual hard data.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
Well, that's my point.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
The federal government sent out a CMS, has the data
to resend out the report, and Obama told them stop
sending it out. Yeah, now, so, which means to your point,
if somebody knows how to calculate this, then we know
how much fraud has been hanging out there, and and
so why aren't we reacting to it? Because it's money there.

(22:52):
This is this is legalized theft of the state's states,
ripping off the federal government and Democrat and Republican a
law like Mike the Wine has been setting record breaking
budgets for the state of Ohio with the flat population
flat population and Medicaid has been growing thirty five percent
over the past five years with zero population growth.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
How does that happen?

Speaker 5 (23:15):
Because we're stealing from the coffers of the federal government
and people like the Wine thinks that so a okay
because that will fund his his stuff and things that
he wants to get done in his reelection campaign. But anyways,
it was refreshing to hear that that auditor in Montana

(23:35):
and how his response different from Keith Fabers. But I'll
say this in closing is continue to pray for brain,
don't vote Democrat, and don't vote rhino. I really think
the rhinos are the more dangerous than the Democrats. We
know what Democrats are, we still haven't learned what rhinos are.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
They tell you what they're going to do out loud,
and we can reject their politics out of hand because
we don't agree with what they're saying out loud. It's
the rhinos of the problem because they'll abscribe to you know,
supporting a Republican Party platform or at least fiscal responsibility,
limited government, free market, and then go around and of
course take advantage of federal tax money that has easily

(24:14):
taken advantage of I'll grant you that they hide their well,
I guess duplicity. Anyhow, appreciate the call, Jay as always,
and I don't buy the idea that we can't ferret
out this fraud, waste and abuse. We owe it to
the federal government. You owe to the American taxpayers to
not waste the money, to not allow for fraud. And

(24:36):
with artificial intelligence entering the equation and pretty much everywhere,
I find it hard to believe that it's that difficult
to track the data from eighty eight individual counties. Oh,
come on, give me a break, Tom, Hang on your
next five to thirty six right now five kr C
Detalk station fifty five KRC. It's five forty if if

(24:57):
you have CARCD Talk Nation five one three two three
talk Power Fight fifty on AT and T phones. Tom,
thanks for waiting holding over the break there Jay got
in front of you. Is you always take them in
the order in which they received. Welcome back to my friend.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Hey, no problem, as you have said that I don't
own that spot. Uh, I just I usually call in
before everybody else, so no big deal. I like hearing
Joe's or Jay's call. And I like Joe too.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
He's all right, and he's he's decent.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
It's okay. We put up with them around here.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Joe, Joe keeps it going, Bud Joe's on fire today,
or to with that with that phrasing button. So what
what gets me is how all these cultures around the
world bad mouth the United States. They they bash us
as we're so terrible, We're so horrible, you know. Uh,
And yet all these people from these cultures want to

(25:54):
come over here and get all of our money. That's
and as we've said, that's what it's all boils down.
It's all about the money, and people are are forgetting
how we became rich and prosperous. We didn't do it
by stealing from one another. We didn't do it by
the way other cultures run their business. Like the lady

(26:15):
from Somalia is making very clear, we didn't do it
that way. But they want to come in and they, oh,
look at all that money over there.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
We want to get it.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yeah, well it's not yours, but of course they it
all boils down to they convince the voters that they're
so righteous and their cause is so great, and the
voters and enough of them are gullible to buy into
it and believe it.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
No, they're just I think that's less. It's less gullibility
and more the left wing justification for stealing from other
people's earnings. And they justify that because they feed on
this culture of envy and and uh covetousness that many
of us are involved with. You know, somebody else's got
how did they get him? That's not fair?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
You know.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
I remember was a little kid walking around and you know,
be on vacation and see these huge houses on the beasts, Like,
oh my god, I love that live in one of those.
You know, I didn't think it was unfair that someone
had that massive house. And as an adult, I think
I would never ever buy a house on the damn
ocean because it might get subjected to a hurricane or something.
That'd be a dumb place to move. Can I get

(27:23):
insurance on it?

Speaker 6 (27:24):
You know?

Speaker 1 (27:24):
It don't even want a place that big. It changed
out throughout life, but enough time did I ever think
that it was justified that it could take something from
someone that Piculin's got it out of money. They should
be had. What is like inheritance tax. You're gonna get
me off on a tear here, Tom inherent staff. Just
because you die gives the government a justification to take
from you, really, right?

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Why agreed, and the reason why you believe that way, Brian,
is because your mother and your father trained you that way.
They taught you the right way to think. When we
look at what other people have and we look at wow,
I'd like to have that. That is supposed to be
incentive for you to work harder, right, you know, not
figure out a way to steal it from them. That's right,

(28:03):
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
That's in school fear of being poor and not being
able to take care of myself. I was not guaranteed
this job. I had a practice law for eighteen years
before anybody offered me this job. You know, Dad wasn't
going to leave me a companycy company or legacy. I
grew up with a lot of friends who felt like
they had had the golden ring. You know what didn't

(28:26):
work out for him? The parents sold the family business
or it went under. It didn't work out, Plans didn't
go accordingly, I had nothing like that to even think
I could hang my hat on it. You better be
able to defend yourself and work for yourself and think
for yourself, Thomas, or you're gonna end up impoverished. That
was scary, and that reality is set in on me

(28:46):
at a very young age, and.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Not enough people are being taught that. And the Democrat
Party is full bore into giving people excuses on to
why they shouldn't have to try harder. And it's absolutely ridiculous.
They are not only letting people steal their their INCENTIVI
couraging it, encouraging it. So don't vote Democrat. Have a
great day, Bryan, Thank you, Tom.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
It was rather cathartic getting that out of my system again.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Five forty five and five KRC the talk station don't
go away, some stupid or phone calls. Either way we go.
The phone calls may be stupid, I don't mind. Five
fifty fifty five kr CD talk station ready eve for
Congressman war and Davidson at seven oh five equal time
requests granted to Congressman Andy Barr. Guess Kevin Gordon had

(29:33):
Dan Cameron on, so uh, Andy Barr is challenging or
running for the primary I guess and he I guess
asserts that he's better than Dan Cameron asking him questions
at seven thirty, honoring those legitimate equal time requests on
the Morning Show, Jim Lewis Building Blocks for Liberties Jim
Blewis Jim Lewis Constitution boot Camp this weekend in Dayton.
Opportunity for young folks, maybe even older folks, to learn

(29:53):
fundamentals of the Constitution. I heard beat the aviation expert
Jay Ratleff at eight thirty sans phone calls which we
are let's go to the local store or let's go
to the stack and stupid start. In Phoenix, got a
dead guy a dead man after he attempted to confront
another guy about cutting the bathroom line at a Phoenix
area gas station. Fifty two year old Danny Caster died

(30:17):
after being shot January sixteenth, person pulling the trigger, DeAndre Franklin,
twenty five, taking into custody. Slordy said the shooting occurred
about eight am at the Quick Trip store on forty
fourth Please said a riot found Castor lying on the
floor outside the men's bathroom. Taken to the hospital. He died.
Castor shot multiple times in the face, shoulder, and leg.

(30:40):
Witness said he was inside the bathroom waiting in line
for a stall when the confrontation occurred. I know, I know,
Courting Court documents. Witness reported seeing Castor get into the
bathroom line, only to have Franklin bypass it and pull
on the door handles. Castor told Franklin there was a line.
Franklin reportedly responded that he knew that. However, hostility ensued

(31:04):
when Franklin asked Castor, what the expletive are you looking at?
What court of the court documents. Two men began arguing
in the bathroom when Franklin told Castor they should take
it outside. Both walked out. Moments later, a witness who
was still in the bathroom heard gunshots coming from outside
the men's room door. Idiots doing idiot things because their

(31:26):
idios full accord with you on that, Joe. Another witness
told authorities he was waiting for his wife when he
saw Franklin holding a gun at Castor attempting to grab it.
Witness heard two or three more gun shots and attempted
to help cast Her once he realized he was injured.
Witnesses saw Franklin leave the store get into a gray
sedan with a woman and leave. Detailed surveillance video, cord
to the court document, show Franklin pointing a gun at

(31:46):
Castor and firing multiple times, causing him to collapse. Franklin
then ran out of the gas station. I guess they
have all the hard evidence they need Joe. After shooting,
police said, Franklin called his mom and stepfather, telling him
that he got in an argument and shot some one
inside the quick trip. Mother tore him to turn himself in,
so he did. The Next day, Franklin said he was homeless,

(32:07):
went to the gas station to use the bathroom, said
he didn't see the WISM line for the stalls and
was gonna go to the back of the line once
Castor told him. However, Franklin said that he noticed Castor
was staring at him and claimed Castor became hostile. Oh
was he disrespecting him?

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Joe?

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Is that one of these disrespecting me? Kind of stupid murders?
And I hate that you just respecting me? Oh? Shut up? Anyway,
As he walked out of the bathroom, Franklin claimed he
saw Castor following him, fired twice, in his words, to
defend himself. Reportedly said he was scared and didn't know

(32:48):
what to do. Whatever limp okay, where's the beef in
Someone's pants? Adventure? Florida surveillance video obtained by local news
So they should have beef thief stuffing steak and brisket

(33:10):
down his pants in the South Florida supermarket Kosher Kingdom.
Side of the event, store's owner wants to find the suspect.
He says meat prices are continuing to go up. It's
not us that's it's not us that's raising, it's the
whole industry, said Phil Einhorn. Our margins are tiny phrasing,
not tiny. This guy's pants, they write. Einhorn said, they're big,

(33:36):
big pants. I think they're like fay for stealing. They're
blocked at the bottom so it doesn't go through. Is
that the kind of pants Joe Biden wore? Joe video
shows store employee walking by, then the suspects shoving nearly
one hundred dollars Cowboys steak in his pants. He also
stole some wine. Eventually gave the steak back. Einhoord said,

(34:02):
we were shocked. That's why when he gave it back
the one steak, I thought okay, I got it back,
but he stole. And then when we found out there
was this thing in his pants, it was unbelievable. It's
just like shocking. But there's all kinds of material in
this article for you, Joe. What more can I say?

(34:23):
Employees chased the suspect out of the store. According to Einhorn,
they ended up going across the street to the publics.
One of my employees was on break and he saw
the rest of the stuff that he had, brisket wine.
He called the cops and we got everything back. He
ran off after we got the stuff back, and by
the time the cops got here, he was gone. But
they have a good description. They have the video, and
I'm sure he's on foot somewhere.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
Hum hum.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
And then we found out there was this thing in
his pants. It was unbelievable. It's just like shocking.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
Every day he's extremely small.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
F R talk station they said, snow, I gotta get
the run about.

Speaker 6 (35:11):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
White Death. Come a six or six here if you
have krs. The talk station had lots of snow over
the weekend, got that big storm watch shown up on
Saturday last and all the way through Sunday. Uh that
Dayton area is supposed to be about six inches and
south of the city about ten inches, they're saying, And
right here, stuck in the middle of the greatest Cincinnati

(35:36):
area gonna be about eight inches. Gonna do We're gonna
put what to the test? Shoe? Oh the new system.

Speaker 6 (35:47):
Did?

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Are you suggesting for a moment that maybe Mount Atoms
will get plowed? Oh? Don't laugh that hard, Joe, you
might he is doubled over right now. I have a
health episode in there with that. Five Thanks Dad, fifty
five hundred pound five fifty on AT and T phones
eight entity two three talk. I got a couple of
callors online order in which they received we'll get to Jeff. Jeff,

(36:10):
thanks for calling this morning. A very happy Thursday to you.

Speaker 8 (36:13):
Hey, good morning, thanks for working. I was listening to
Tom and I was thinking to myself, does not the
Islamic religion have something akin to the Ten Commendments referencing, Okay,
these people grew up. You got to steal to get stuff,
as opposed to, hey, here's a novel idea, let's go,

(36:33):
let's get a real job.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
No, I think Mark Martinism actually does have that whole
steel component built into it. But anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 8 (36:42):
Well, my question is, does the Islamic religion have anything
akin to the Ten Commandments?

Speaker 6 (36:49):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
No way knowing of that. I am not a theologian,
not even on a Christian level. I don't know. I
don't have any idea. I've never studied Islam. I've never
read the Koran. I have no interest in reading it.
Lots of reading material out there before I get to it.
So can't help you on that one.

Speaker 8 (37:07):
I'd like to hope if you, i'd like to, you know,
somebody that knows a lot more than me, obviously wouldn't
be hard to do, would call in and pontificate on that,
because everything Tom was talking about. If you're, you know,
doing a comparison between meritocracy and whatever they live under,

(37:30):
if that's how they're taught, you know, I don't know.
So if John somebody on that's smarter, that'd be great.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Well okay, and here just let me make an observation.
I made this before. You know, when people clamor for
religion to be taught in schools, and that's not I'm
not advocating for that, and I never have because who
is going to be the person responsible for teaching any
given religion. A lot of my Christian friends like, we
need to be teaching the Ten Commandments, we need to
be okay, okay, who's going to be put in the

(37:57):
front of the room. Is going to be a snake handler,
is going to be Evangelical Christian, is going to be
a Catholic, is going to be a Protestant. I don't know.
There's like one hundred and forty different versions of Christianity,
each with their own sets of rules and doctrine and dogma,
all under the believe in Christ banner, but differing a
multitude of levels. Once you get down below that I
believe in Christ thing. Now, there may very well be

(38:18):
all of these different versions of Islam. Notably, there are
fundamentalist Islam believe that killing people are murdering in the
name of killing infidels is okay and approved and justified,
and you go up and get your seventy two versions.
That's their version of heaven. Some believe in that, at
least that's what I've read. I don't know anybody who
believes along those lines, but Lord knows, who've had enough

(38:40):
terrorist attacks in the name of Islam and Islamic fundamentalism,
going after the infidels to justify that at least that's
some subset of the broader Muslim community. Now I don't
believe it all and believing that Muslims typically tend to
live together and thrive and survive on their own. And
you know that's a okay. I'm not here to try
to convince anybody any given religion. You go ahead and

(39:01):
proselytize and advance your religious culture and then try to
convince people to come over to your side the ledger.
But ultimately, you're probably going to believe in something that's
different than the sum the same sort of something that
someone else believes in because they're in a different group
who has a different viewpoint of generally speaking, Mohammed and Islam.

(39:22):
So sounds like a big moving target, But then again,
when you're talking about religion, it usually is. So that's
all I can do on that one. I appreciate the question, though.
See what CJ's got.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
CJ.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Welcome to the Morning Show. Very happy Thursday to you, Oh.

Speaker 9 (39:38):
Happy Thursday to you as well. A couple of quick things,
you know, before I get into what I'm saying. You
gotta get gassed today even if you don't think you do,
go get it because it's going to go up a
ton because that weather next week looks nasty. But first
and foremost, I'm not the biggest guy with Trump. I
don't necessarily always trust Trump. But Virginia Democrats is week

(40:00):
I proved exactly why you should never vote Democrats. They
immediately went out and put propositions to tax everything under.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
The sun, including the sun.

Speaker 9 (40:09):
And then they go in and to use the old
gen X on californiaication. They decided to unemploy everybody with
all those taxes. But they're gonna make it a whole
lot easier to open up daycares because now you only
need to fill out like four or five questions in
order to open up a daycare in the state of Virginia.

Speaker 6 (40:28):
If this new.

Speaker 9 (40:29):
Bill passes, I'm telling you, these Democrats are wanting. They
are dangerous, not because they think they are smart. They're
just pure reckless and they are so caught up in
their ideology that they're willing to destroy anything and everything
along the way just to watch it burn.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Maybe. I know there's a lot of people on the
left that do want it to burn. Those are your
you know, the AOC types of the world that think
the United States is a vile, evil, irrideemable country born
of original sent therefore needs to be brought down. Other
Democrats are just you know, in this kleptocracy. They benefit
from it personally making millions and millions of dollars in
their nonprofit or as an elected official, sort of insider trading,

(41:09):
as we've seen happen time and time again. But I
guess I'm kind of want to going over to your
Virginia comment House Bill thirteen sixty nine maybe what you're
talking about. Virginia Democratic State Delegate Jessica Anderson, after all
of this fraud's been exposed, has presented a bill. No
state agency responsible for the administration of federal funds shall

(41:30):
impose a requirement on a nonprofit charitable organization providing federal
public benefits to determine, verify, or otherwise require proof of
eligibility to any applicant for such benefit. In other words,
you can't ask them if they're properly eligible. If this
thing goes through, I mean, I'm sorry, I want to
violate the SEC rules in terms of cursing here right now?

(41:53):
Are you blanking out of your mind? This is a
proposal from a Democrat elected official. We don't want you
to determine, verify, or require proof of eligibility. Are you
kidding me? Who says this quiet part out loud? It's
bad enough. We've got to ferret it out and do

(42:14):
investigations and Department of Justice investigations and low and bold,
we find out billions and billions of the work that
you did transformed into taxpayer revenue because they took it
out of your salary. We're taken from you and given
away to fraudsters. And they didn't lift the figer to
stop it. And the more and the more evidence grows

(42:37):
upon this, the more we realize it was facilitated. It
was this sort of wink wink, Yeah, we know what's
going on. We're not gonna do anything because it's got
one hundred thousand smallies here in Minneapolis are gonna cast
votes for us, so we don't want to disrupt their
financial lifeline. At least that's the way it seems to
be going. But if you see this and it is

(42:57):
on full display and they're finding you've heard in the
news more and more. Jay called about it earlier. We
got a problem in Ohio with fraud, wasted abuse. But
there's a problem everywhere when it comes to government money.
There's paycheck protection loans. Oh thank god for that. And
look at all the people who ripped off the federal
tax payers just because I guess there were no provisions

(43:18):
to avoid prevent fraud, wasted abuse and connection with that.
Oh my god, it's COVID. Throw some money at it.
Oh my god. Children know how to leer. We need
a leering center. Throw some money at it. Look, there's
an NGO right there. They're willing to do the work
for us. Hey, open a leering center. We'll throw some
money at it. They might check and see if somebody
was going in there. Turns out they weren't. Do you

(43:45):
have that massive level scandal. That's just one of a
growing number that we're going to find out about thanks
to the Trump administration. Evil orange man. You hate him
for that, my leftist friends, you hate Donald Trump so much.
And if you have a job, let's qualify that. And

(44:06):
if you are paying federal taxpayer dollars, which I can
only assume you are, if you're working, you have a
problem with going after fraud, waste and abuse. You got
to stand there and yell at me, Brian Thomas and
call me a racist because it just happens to be.
It's within the Somalian community of Minnesota. But take out
the Somalian reference and put it in any other collective

(44:28):
group of people who are ripping the government off, regardless
of what color their skins or where they came from.
It doesn't matter. It's stealing. Don't try to trigger me
or make me cowork because you want to scream racism
or something. That's a comical and really really stupid argument.
That's why I read what that Somali born activist said

(44:49):
about Trump. He's right, we need to prevent this from happening.
Does that make her Somali born, generally mutilated, almost forced
into marriage, now activist, having fled the terror and just
awful realities of Somalia, she's allowed to criticize her former country.

(45:11):
Does that make her racist? Go ahead say it. I
could use another good laugh this morning. Crazy Hang on
Corey six sixteen fifty five krc DE talk station. Not
crazy taking care of six twenty two fifty five KRCIT
talk station. Going straight to the phone. It's got a

(45:31):
couple of callers online. Corey was first, Corey, thanks for
calling this morning. Happy Friday Eve.

Speaker 10 (45:37):
Happy Friday Eve, Brian. Having been able to call for
a while, I thought.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
I call in and had the opportunity this morning. My
work schedules changed here.

Speaker 10 (45:43):
Lately, but I wish you had the best of the
health here and get better with what you're going through
and all that good stuff.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
But thanks man. It's it's a small price to pay.
If I go through six months of this crap and
I end up with three days of like brain fog
and stumbling around like an idiot, I'll manage through that.
Maybe it'll get me five more years or emission. So
very small price to pay. But I do appreciate the
well wish is truly Cole.

Speaker 10 (46:08):
I think the Democrat Party relies on the dumbest people to.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Vote for him, useful idiots.

Speaker 10 (46:13):
One of the things this week. I'm sure you've probably
covered it, but the lady went on view some actress
singer said it had grown up in Columbus, Ohio in
nineteen forty nine. Her mother would tell her not to
look in the trees because all the black people hanging. Oh,
the last lynching in Ohio. Yeah, the last lynching was

(46:33):
in nineteen eleven. So she's obviously lying, and I see
a lot of people, you know, reacting to it how
they can't.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
Believe she'd lie like that wouldn't lie.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
Well, the problem is.

Speaker 10 (46:48):
Go ahead, Hey, they don't know any better.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Yeah. No, it's like I'm laughing because I thought of that.
That Commons statement I always use if you read it
on the internet, it's true, said Abraham Lincoln. That's the problem.
People don't have any critical thinking skills. They see something.
It happens to me all the time, man, my conservative friends,
my friends period, doesn't matter whether conservative, liberally or whatever.
They'll send me over some meme posts that they believe
it's real. I'll look at it and immediately go that

(47:14):
doesn't look right, and I'll do my own research and
find out that, no, it isn't right, it's not true.
It's not difficult to do your own research and don't
believe everything you see online. And no, she wasn't surrounded
by a bunch of dead black people hanging from branches
in trees. Might that have happened in a certain important history
in our country. Yeah, but it was so far as
the Highlot history is concerned. Nope, No, I didn't the

(47:38):
view wasn't gonna fact check her anyway. Correct. Joe Strecker,
excellent observation, New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome to the program. Happy Friday.

Speaker 5 (47:45):
Eve.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Hey Brian, how you doing. Hope everybody's feeling better on your.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
End at least?

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Go ahead man, Yeah, anyhow, I'd like to chime in
on what's going on? And Samali are a little maga
issues Minneapolis. It's probably good. It is definitely going on
all over our country. It's it's really bad over in Europe. Yes,

(48:14):
And and what we can see that is that trying
to hearted people or ignorant people, or people who've been indoctrinated,
or people who that have don't have strong faith in God.
There God ah as I see this have either or

(48:35):
people who are in power and are using the Somali
Uh or funneling money or vote. That's all this comes down.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
To, or even or even gart just getting just getting
paid to be angry. They're actors, I mean in many cases,
not all of them. Some of them are useful idiots
and actually believe the blatherer that's coming out of their mouths,
but others are are just allowing the blow that to
come out of their mounts because they were given a
script and a paycheck to do it. Protest over, move

(49:06):
on to the next one. I'm getting paid.

Speaker 6 (49:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
It's very interesting because I work up here with a
bunch of liberals like that. Up in New Hampshire, we're
kind of an outpost of a conservative uh state that's
turning blue. And a lot of our engineers that have
gone to Ivy League countries. We've got about seven or
eight of them. They're all in favor of Mandannie. They're

(49:32):
all in their thirties, none of them are married, and
very and they consider themselves democratic socialists. And I'm trying
to figure out what a democratic socialist is and they
can't even tell me.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Oh, come on, it's just socialist, man. These the democrats.
It's a transition period.

Speaker 6 (49:54):
We vote on it.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
And I'm like that they have no idea that it's
an octymoron to become democrat and a socialist. That's not
even more on saying, because most socialists take away the
power from the people and they make the decisions for you,
whether you like it or not. Well, eventually it goes
to communism. You and I know that, But these kids

(50:16):
that come out of college and have been thoroughly indoctrinated.
And most of our engineers are making about one hundred
and seventy thousand dollars a year, and they're complaining on
top of that because they got their college bill the day,
you know. And it's incredible, it really is incredible how

(50:37):
blind they can be.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
It is, it really is.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
And so I see that they're watching MSNBC going down
trying to bustle of ties to the blue collars, and
you know, that's a losing proposition because I think most
of the blue collars live closer to the economic edge.
And we feel the fire. It's coming our way. You know,

(51:02):
our jobs are being replaced. We hire, you know, more
Spanish and just you know, we've hired, We've hired a
lot of people just for diversity's sake, most of which
they don't stick around after a while because they they're
work ethic and that excludes in white people, their work

(51:22):
young white people, their work ethic really useless. I'm sixty
five years old and I'm working a thirty year old
man job because they can't find somebody who can push
the product down on the floor. Right.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
That's a pervasive problem that has no connection whatsoever with
race or you know, one's religion or anything. It's just
that young people are lazy. I hear that from the
private sector. You know, business owners and managers all the time.
Getting some kid that just show up on time is
a huge challenge for them and it's troubling. But you know,
when you tell everybody that their poop poo does not stink,

(51:58):
and everyone gets a participation trophy and everyone gets in
at least a passing grade of C or above not
doing any work, you tend to create a class or
a generation of people who think they don't need to
perform in order to be rewarded, like in this particular
case with a paycheck. Appreciate it, definitely, New Hampshire. Garret's
always a pleasure hearing from me. I appreciate you tuning

(52:19):
in from that distance six twenty nine right now. If
you five KR see the talk station station six thirty three,
you come to a six thirty four if you have
KRC the talk vation. Let's see here. I got one
local story at least I can get in the short
period of time, since I talked too long in the
last one. Clamar County Sheriff's Office is warning people about

(52:41):
a scam, a scam phone calls from people who claim
to be sheriff's deputies. Quarter to Fox eighteen, thank you
Brady Williams reporting these well informed scammers call and then
claim that people will be arrested unless they pay them. Okay,
we're going to call that a giant, giant red flag
of Barber Streisand did they even have to make an

(53:06):
announcement about this? As troubling to me, but here we go.
Susan Alltop almost became a victim, according to Claremont County
Reporting here seventy two years old, since she received a
suspicious call one day. I went ahead and answered it,
and it's this guy that says he's from the Claremont
County Sheriff's office and that I have two bench warns
because I had filled out the paper that said I

(53:27):
showed up to be on jury duty. She had not
filled out any paperwork, but someone claiming that to be
a deputy was there on the phone telling her that
well that he had a warrant for her arrest. She
said he had details about her addressed accurate details about
the Sheriff's office, and even called from what looked like
a sheriff's phone number. All of that, according to Tech
Friday's Dave Hatter's been over this a million times, is

(53:47):
easily done. Altop said, don't hang up, don't disconnect this call.
It's important because you were under suppression. Altop said, I
don't know what's yes, she is whatever I was under her,
I was being suppressed by it. Help help, I'm being
suppressed exactly. Joe Man in the other phone threatened her

(54:11):
for hours. She said, you know how long this conversation
would last if I was on the phone, Well, I
wouldn't even have picked it up. But click, she said,
all the time he's talking to me on the phone,
he needs explaining. They'll send a car out for me,
and they will cuff me, and they will arrest me
and respond to me. Go ahead. Click. Despite the college protests,

(54:33):
Altop went to the Clermont Kenny Sheriff's Ovious immediately. Real
deputies knew exactly what was happening. Since December, the Clamont
Kenny Sheriff's been warning about this scam. As a reminder,
they say deputies will never demand money, They will never
threaten arrest for failure to immediately pay a fine, and
no law enforcement agency will accept gift cards or electronic
transfers to pay a fine. Isn't that a lesson we

(54:55):
all know by now, No, the IRS doesn't accept an
Apple phone card or whatever. Six thirty six right now
if you have carsee the talk stage. Very Happy Thursday
to Friday. Congressman Warren Davidson at the top of the
air News equal time requests from Congressman Andy Barr. He's
running for US Senate in Kentucky. My friends in the Commonwealth,

(55:17):
stick around for that one. Jim Lewis building blocks for
Liberty Constitution boot camp going on this weekend Dayton. We'll
hear from Jim at eight o five and then fast
forward to eight thirty love talking to iHeartMedia aviation expert
Jay Ratliffe will do just that today, as is typical
on a Thursday. So and I'm gonna remind you again
occasionally I do stand on the shoulders of giants, and
I'm happy to do it because the information provided by
those giants is always are quite often really inspiring to me,

(55:39):
which is why I read the op ed or the yeah,
I guess it was an op ed piece. The Modern
Democratic Party is a Kleptocracy yesterday. You can read it
for yourself on my blog page or hear it on
the blog page if you five car se dot com
a link to this to the article, as well as
basically me reading at the five o'clock hour pivoting over
to Barton Swain yesterday. I believe it's in today's Wall

(56:01):
Street Journal. Democrats a nonprofit problem. Continuing a theme here,
the unfolding debacle in Minneapolis captures an underappreciated fact about
the Democratic Party. It is configured to react in unreasoning
rage to everything President Trump does. The challenge of messaging

(56:22):
how to condemn roundups of illegal immigrants without defending protesters.
Lawlessness is only a symptom of the problem. The problem
itself arises from the byzantine network of activist nonprofits created
and fostered over the past decade and a half by
liberal foundations and progressive billionaires. Democrats A nonprofit problem began

(56:44):
more or less than twenty ten, when a cap and
trade bill died in the Senate. Wealthy foundations and donor
class ideologus, animated by fears of global catastrophe, decided they
couldn't achieve their goals by democratic persuasion, and it had
to create an army of nonprofit groups to wage legal
and political war on the imagined enablers of climate change.

(57:05):
The money soon flowed to other areas, as money does,
Particularly since the pandemic and the George Floyd riots of
twenty twenty, the progressive donor class has spread its largest
to advocacy and activist organizations pushing social justice, immigrant rights,
Palestinian statehood, LGBTQ rights, Indigenous people's rights, and as ever,

(57:27):
climate sustainability. Mackenzie Scott, ex wife of Jeff Bezos, has
given twenty six billion with a B since twenty nineteen.
Other billionaires with left leaning proclivities Michael Bloomberg, Pierre Ahmadyard,
George Soros, Tom Steyer have pumped enormous sums into progressive nonprofits.
A cynical observer might consider mister Trump a gift to

(57:50):
left wing nonprofits. He inspires their ire and gives them
dragons to slay. They might also thank Joe Biden, who's
neglect of the southern border created sufficient political demand for
his successor to remove illegal border crossers. One way or another.
About half of the elector disapproves of the arrest and
deportations carried out by Immigrations and custom enforcement officers. But

(58:13):
the anti ICE protests in Minneapolis aren't primarily or maybe
at all, the spontaneous upbriving uprisings of an outrage citizenry.
Governor Tim Walt in a televised address that sounded like
a narration of crystal knocked quote, they're breaking windows, dragging
pregnant women down the street, just plane grabbing Minnesotas and

(58:36):
shoving them in unmarked vans, kidnapping innocent people with no
warning and no due process. Close quote urging viewers to
record ICE operations on their phones. Ordinary people don't do that,
nor do they park their cars to obstruct law enforcement operations,
or gather outside hotels in the WII hours to chant

(58:57):
and bang drum because those hotels rented room go to
ICE agents. Activists do these things in revealing detail or
a revealing detail which i Bart and Swam credit the
Washington Free Beacon for finding the Sunrise Movement initial cap.
The Sunrise Movement, a group founded to stage disruptive climate protest,

(59:21):
wants a piece of the anti ICE action. Sunrise is
training activists to plague hotels and car rental companies that
do business with ice Open Society foundations. George Soros Organization
parenthetically has given Sunrise two million dollars since twenty nineteen.
The Ford Foundation has given it seven hundred thousand dollars
over the past couple of years. MacArthur Foundation a quarter

(59:42):
of a million dollars in twenty twenty four. Another detail,
this one from Karl Zendmeister's new book, Suite Charity, which
defends the virtues of charitable giving and deplores its polonization
by lefty foundations and billionaires. Quoll The No King's protest,
orchestrated by left wing nonprofits and dozens of cities during

(01:00:02):
the fall of twenty twenty five, were heavily funded by
a variety of activist philanthropies. Mister Zinsmeister Tally's two hundred
and three separate nonprofit protest sponsors. The campus protests since
twenty twenty three, similarly orchestrated by a lattice work of
anti Zionist organizations, many larded with money from left wing foundations,

(01:00:26):
Open Society, Caffine Tides and others. Donor class progressives no
doubt believe they're helping Democrats and hurting mister Trump by
shoveling so much money at left wing nonprofits? Are they
I suspect? Most Democrats who ran for office in twenty
twenty four found that the screaming anti semites crowding the

(01:00:47):
quads of elite colleges didn't make their campaigns easier. Plainly,
the protests complicated Kamala Harris's task of finding a running mate.
Any Democrats seem to think ice rounds ups or a
net political positive, and probably they are, but the protests
are not professional nuisances. Harassing Christian worshipers and cursing at

(01:01:09):
law enforcement agents cancel much of the advantage Democrats might
gain from the raids. These busybodies force their intended Democratic
beneficiaries to stop talking about affordability and healthcare and instead
defend loudmouth lawbreakers and inflame voters with stories of fantastic thuggery.

(01:01:30):
Mister Trump's aggressive policies may invite the protest, but he
may reasonably conclude that he will attract protests. There's no
matter what he does, so why not go for it?
All that moneyman for protests must find things to protest.
This is the world. Wealthy liberals created when they decided
climate change, and later systemic racism and abortion restrictions and

(01:01:53):
Israeli genocide. We're all existential menaces requiring marches and cities
and city and other extra democratic disruptions. It amounts to
a subtler and more effective attack on democracy than anything
mister Trumps attempted Barton swayin excellent point. And I got

(01:02:14):
a story fill in the gaps on that one. Wait,
do you hear about this nonprofit and you get a
little extra window into what that's what's going on out
there against and anti poverty community initiatives. You decide for
yourself what that means. It awarded about one hundred and
fifty eight thousand dollars in the entire county. Year twenty

(01:02:36):
twenty four, she ms Armstrong brought in a salary of
two hundred and fifteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty six bucks.
In addition to that, she took on an additional five
hundred and forty eight dollars in health benefits plan contributions
and deferred compensation according to filing. Again, these are filing documents.

(01:02:57):
Prior year twenty twenty three, the nonprofit awarded a hund
undred and thirty three almost one hundred thirty four thousand grants,
she brought in a salary of one hundred and seventy
almost one hundred seventy one thousand dollars plus forty four
thousand and change in other quote compensation from the organization
and related organizations. Again, according to the tax filings, prior
to that same pattern, Armstrong taking in one hundred and

(01:03:18):
seventy five thousand dollars in compensation plus thirty three thousand
little more in other compensation, the organization doled out one
hundred and sixty one thousand and change in grants. So
a court of the filings ranging from twenty nineteen to
twenty twenty four, in the six years she made just
I have one million dollars as the executive director of

(01:03:38):
the Way Founder Way Founder Wayfounder Foundation, plus an additional
two hundred thousand plus in health benefits and other compensation.
During that whole period of time, this foundation distributed only
seven hundred thousand dollars in grants, and yet during that
same time span, the foundation reported five million, two hundred

(01:04:01):
amost two undred and fifty thousand dollars in revenue contributors
included Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Accord to the
twenty twenty three Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation tax fund,
that group donated twenty thousand dollars to Wayfinder, in their words,
to conduct activities to educate and support black communities. Close
quote well, I guess given the amount of allocated money

(01:04:23):
coming from this Wayfinder organization kind of like a leering center. Yeah,
it exists. It takes in a lot of money, it
just doesn't deliver anything. But notably like most NGO's got
a John Desnya's skepticism, I hear the word anymore. You know,
you could be a nonprofit organization. You can profess to
do all the wondrous great things in the world, and
you can convince some elected official that your organization is

(01:04:46):
worthy of taxpayer dollars. We know that the elected officials
will never follow up on the work that you do.
But just remember the weird, crazy, stupid reality is that
behind that moniker nonprofit organization, it doesn't mean anybody's working
for free. Quite often a great avenue to make a
fat six figure salary. Maybe in some cases more so

(01:05:12):
just one tiny illustration and an illustration of you know,
paid protests. She's the one behind disrupting the free exercise
of religion, which we learn from Judge An and Apollo Tano.
Trump's your free assembly as well as your free speech rights.
Why because the Framers put it first in the First Amendment,

(01:05:35):
Free exercise of Religion six fifty seven Congressman Warren Davidson.
At the top of the hour, News Plus, we'll hear
from Congressman Andy Barr at seven thirty. I sure hope
you can wait for that. Today's top headlines coming up
at the it's seven oh six AIRTRCD talk station Thomas Vision.

(01:06:00):
Your about a very appy Friday, even welcoming back to
the fifty five Karrisee Morning Show and certainly salute and
appreciate his willingness to come on the fifty five Karsse
Morning Show and talk important issues with my audience and me.
Congressman Warren Davidson, Welcome back, sir. It's always great having
you on my program.

Speaker 11 (01:06:16):
Yeah, I always look forward to it. Thanks Brian.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Nice talking with you, Always nice talking to you. And
in reverse order, you filed again to represent the eighth district.
I'm so pleased to see that you're running again, and
I want to let you know right up front, because
Joe put it on my rundown. You already have Joe
Strecker's vote. I don't know how he was able to
cast it. We're not going to even ask that question,
but at least Joe Strecker's voting for your congressman diictionson.

Speaker 11 (01:06:39):
Yeah, I'm make courage.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:06:41):
The sad thing is you lose constituents when they redraw
the map, because I've it's changed a bit since I,
you know, since I first ran, and this is a
third redraw really of it, but it won't take effect
till January third next year, and I hope to be
the guy that gets a chance to keep serving in Congress.
It's obviously very frustrating at time. I think it's obvious

(01:07:04):
to anyone anywhere in the world that this place is broken.
It's a little more broken and differently broken than I
think I thought before I got here. But it is
nice to be here working to make a difference on it,
and I feel like at times it's just one of
some of the most rewarding things I do. And I
will say, you look at it. I know lots of
people are frustrated.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
I think I'm.

Speaker 11 (01:07:26):
Probably slightly less frustrated here because I go, well, you know,
I see what we're doing. But boy, it's exasperating sometimes
to be at a ringside seat and fighting hard to
change something and you just can't change the outcome. The
epitome of that was COVID, So you know, it's like,
this is crazy and you still couldn't stop people from
doing crazy things.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
Well, isn't that true? And lord knows, we've got an
seemingly endless list of craziness that came out of COVID.
And since we are awash in stories of fraud, waste,
and abuse revelations among all these various government programs, I mean,
with the trillions of dollars that were thrown out into
the world, apparently absolutely no one on any political stripe
was watching where the money was went and how it

(01:08:08):
was spent. And I've just discovered something And maybe you
can confirm or maybe reject my thlot or my theory
on this. All that COVID nineteen money in the city
of Cincinnati was one of the recipients of a lot
of it. Now they're struggling with how do they manage
the books and balance a budget in the absence of
COVID money. So my thought was that all this COVID
money left Washington, DC, was thrown out of all these

(01:08:30):
underwater left wing cities New York, Chicago, the other ones
that were struggling with a budget, and they use it
to patch the budget holes that they created.

Speaker 11 (01:08:38):
Am I close, Oh, that's exactly what's going on with Obamacare.
You know, we put Obamacare subsidies in. They're like, oh,
you know, this is terrible, And you're like, well, you
said Obamacare was the greatest thing in the world and
that was going to cure everything. Why do you need
to keep bailing it out. Well, because it's not great,
it's terrible. It's delivered terrible results for the market for

(01:09:01):
the people that have it. I guess there are upsides
of some of the policy changes. I think Republicans, even
some who were skeptics on some of those policies, say yeah, okay,
some of these things have worked for good on policy,
but on the financial structural part of this. Giving the
money to the insurance companies is dumb instead of giving
it to consumers. And you know, again, the more things

(01:09:24):
you subsidize, the worse the rate of inflation. For the
things that get the subsidies. And it's exactly that because
it masks all the inefficiencies and it says, I don't
worry about being inefficient, We'll just throw more money at it.
And we're seeing that all over the place and you
watch look, I will say there's no partisanship when it
comes to getting after scam centers. No one supports these
guys that are scamming centers, seniors in particular. And we

(01:09:48):
shut one that was like fifteen billion dollars down in
Cambodia last year, CAMDI, So you know, yeah, I mean
that's a significant part of Cambodia, is GDP. Right, So
when it comes to things like that, as Democrats, we
see in arm in arm and I'm glad to have
their support for it, but it's the scam center is
like a Somali daycare center. Oh well, you can't go
after that if it's uh, what about you look at healthcare.

(01:10:11):
Illegals supposedly weren't getting Medicaid, but when you shut it down,
you want to audit the records of which illegals are
getting it. And now they're saying we can't share the
Medicaid records with ICE why guy had thought no illegals
were getting it, And it's obvious in many states they
were getting it by design. So it's just a massive
amount of corruption on this stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Well with that question, and you know the other point
on that, it's this fixing the problem of healthcare? Why
is healthcare so expensive? And covering up the cost the
true cost of healthcare by offering subsidies just covers up
the dollar figure revealing how bad it is. Your premium
dollars go up because the cost of paying claims has

(01:10:54):
gone through the roof. Why has the cost of paying
claims gone through the roof? And where are the fixes
and solutions related to that? Just throwing extra federal money
and covering someone's premium. Hell, you want to cover my
auto insurance? Why you're at it? You know that's gone up.
I mean, you want to cover my energy bill that's
gone up primarily because of stupid government policies and chasing
carbon dioxide out of the air. How about subsidizing our

(01:11:17):
energy bills? They have to do it in Germany. I mean,
you know, it's just crazy. The reality is the underlying
problem never gets solved when you mask over it by
throwing money on top of it.

Speaker 11 (01:11:29):
Yeah, I mean, isn't that a sort of analogy for
what's going on with the government right? It just keeps
getting bigger. And I will say, even in Ohio where
we have a balanced budget, when you look at what's
going on with spending at the state, you're like, the
rate of growth of spending here is pretty bad too.
So the spending problem is enormous. And this is why

(01:11:52):
I say, look, your money is being destroyed. You know,
it's nice you look at your house and they get
their appraisal and you're like, oh, well, it's nice that
my house is quote worth more until you get the
Proppery tax bill and all that. But then you look
at the reality. You know, your house didn't and if
you didn't make modifications or anything to it, it didn't
automatically go up by the one hundred thousand dollars. Your

(01:12:16):
money got less valuable over time, and that that unfortunately,
that's part of what's going on with the stock market.
That's why gold is soaring, is the money is being destroyed,
and that that's happening with Dustin's You know, if you
take five trillion out of the economy every year with taxes,
which is roughly what happens. And you jump seven trillion

(01:12:37):
dollars worth of spending in, you're inherently having inflation. You're
pouring more into the system than you're taking out of
this system. And even in a redistribution mindset where oh little,
you know, the left thinks three distributions great.

Speaker 7 (01:12:52):
Right.

Speaker 11 (01:12:53):
Look, if you put it in a ten, you know,
ten gallon drum, and you take five gallons out of
a drum and you pour an in, obviously the levels higher.
And that's what's going on in our economy over and over.
It's destroying the money. And a lot of times people
are arguing over things and blaming rich versus poor, red
versus blue, urban versus rural, pick your thing. But it's

(01:13:17):
really just the money is being destroyed and the people
with assets are less affected by it because you know
your assets are getting inflated.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
Well, I guess I also have to ask, you know,
is it nefarious or stupid? Is a typical question I
asked quite often in contemplating politicians and their actions. This
is such a stark, obvious problem we're facing. Congressman David Send,
thirty eight trillion dollars that we have to pay interest
on annually, the trillion dollars every year before we know

(01:13:49):
to keep our our solvency. It keeps growing under the
Trump administration thus far. I heard just yesterday that we've
grown an additional two trillion dollars or something in the
whole We spent more than two turely. And then we
said we, I mean, this can't end or this can't continue.
And the obvious problem is, you know, country like Venezuela,
a country like Zimbabwe, a company like the Weimar republican Germany.

(01:14:12):
You run the printing press long enough, the currency gets
devalue to the point where it's absolutely worthless. We've heard
tales in the past that people having to build wheelbarrows
full of money to go to the store to get
a load for bread. This is the crash course we're on.
History has proven it, Reality proves it, economy and economics
proves it. So is it the goal to crash the

(01:14:33):
Fiat currency? Is it the goal to basically upend the
entire globe which seems to rely on the American taxpayer
dollar and the United States dollar? Or are they just
stupid Congressman Davidson.

Speaker 11 (01:14:48):
The answer is a little bit of both, right, I thought.
So I'm not saying everyone that goes along with this
even understands it. It's like, you know, not everyone that
supports Marxism really thinks of themselves as a mo Arxists.
You know, they just want a little more free stuff
for a few more people or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
But the reality is.

Speaker 11 (01:15:09):
They're the people engineering it. Absolutely understand it. And that's
why it's so great that Donald Trump goes to Davos
and essentially globalists versus patriots has become the real divide
even across countries. I mean, the Europeans and the Democrats
are essentially the same, and they're running the same op.
They're invading the countries with migrants from the Third World,

(01:15:30):
trying to destroy and undermine the sovereignty of Western civilization. Frankly,
they're trying to undo Western civilization and they want massive deficits.
And when you look at what their messages are, they
want total control with money. They want a central bank,
digeral currency with digital ID. And then for Lord of
the Ring fans that's like the one ring to rule
them all. It's not that you have to have a

(01:15:52):
swat team stacked outside every door, though they're okay doing that.
If you don't use the right pronouns or something. Storming churches.
Imagine storming in a church in the middle of a
worship service and thinking, you're the good guys, and unfortunately
there's still no indictments and still nobody you know, in jail.
But I am encouraged that they say that seems to

(01:16:13):
be underway. So I don't know how slow the wheels
of justice turn, but hopefully before Valentine's Day we've got
a few people in jail. But these are the stark
ideology contrasts. And the money is central to it because
if they get control of the money, you know, they
can filter your transactions, they can condition your own access

(01:16:35):
to your own money. And this is underway in China,
and the Europeans are building a system in working with
the Chinese to do it, that does all the same things.
Digital id will basically build a social credit score and say, well,
you know, the good guys can do these things, but
you know, and that's what they did with Choke Point.

Speaker 6 (01:16:55):
These these uh.

Speaker 11 (01:16:57):
What they called Operation Choke Point. They are debanking people
and these are building out the systems that the radical
radical left wants to impose, and a lot of people
who support some of the left wing policies want to
live in denial and say, oh, that's not happening. Well,
it's maybe your neighbor who's a Democrat isn't doing that.

(01:17:17):
And maybe some of my colleagues aren't even the ones
that are smart and good people but jaded in some
way because hope for these crazy policies. But if you
look at it, they're supporting that. Anyone that's supporting these
globalists is supporting central banksual currency, digital id is supporting

(01:17:37):
this dystopian system that destroys your money and then turns
it into a system for chordersion in control because it's
about power, and they mask it pretty well. But that's
the real answer of socialism and Marxism. It never works
for the people except for the people that are selling it.
It produced a path to power for them because it

(01:17:59):
plays on human envy and it's a condition of the soul.
So I think it's just painful to watch. It's like
I say, your ringside seat. You're trying to fight it
and the stakes are incredibly high, but sometimes you just
can't seem to change it. No Republican ran on saving Obamacare,
but we got seventeen, they're like, oh, we can't let

(01:18:20):
it fail.

Speaker 7 (01:18:21):
What okay? Yeah, all the votes?

Speaker 11 (01:18:26):
You got a voting card too, like police, send reinforcements
in America.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
Plause for a moment, We'll bring Congressman Warren Davidson back.
Find out there's going to be a government shutdown and
shutdown and yeah, I'm waiting for the records too, specifically
the Epstein files anyway, being from fifty five KOC the
talk station. If you have Cassey the talk station, Bryan
Thomas a Congressman Warren Davidson who will be running for
another term, vote for him. He is a great guy.

(01:18:51):
And Congressman Davidson, I guess I have to This has
been frustrating to me. What the hell's going on with
the Epstein files? And I guess the other correlator to
this is why hold Bill, Hillary Clinton and content for
not showing up for deposition when you don't even have
all the documents yet to fully depose them. That's the
lawyer in me asking that question. But either way, there's
a deadline, it's passed, the Epstein file still haven't been produced.
What is going on here? Congressman Davidson, you know.

Speaker 11 (01:19:15):
With respect to Bill and Hillary Clinton, I will give
a shout out to nine Democrats who I don't remember
their names, but they joined Republicans in holding the Clintons
in content. Oh yeah, And that's logically consistent because they
were service poena. They were called to appear before the
committee and they didn't show. And that's the same thing

(01:19:37):
that they charged Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro with and
both of them no prosecuted and went to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
No argument for me that that's exactly the path you
have to take. You have to respect the power of
the subpoena. Although in timing, I would rather as a
lawyer have all of the documents in my possession before
deposing a key witness about the relationship. So it seems
like a it's out of order from my litigation mind perspective.

(01:20:03):
But regardless, the key the problem is that documents haven't
been produced. So what's the story on that one.

Speaker 11 (01:20:10):
Well, they do have a lot of documents, and freely,
they had a whole lot before this dischargedition passed, and
you put a very clear burden on the administration to
disclose everything. And frankly, they're also skirting the law on
the redactions. So what I think is very obvious is
they don't want to disclose all of the facts about Epstein,

(01:20:35):
even when compelled by law to disclose the information. I
could see, well, gee, there's a lot of data. It's
hard to get it all out. Well, it's a whole
lot easier if you're not busy redacting it, which is
also a violation of the law. So the law says
disclosed it, and it doesn't allow you to do the things.
And this goes to the heart of why they weren't

(01:20:56):
prosecuting one. A lot of the victims entered into settlement
agreements because they didn't want to go to trial, and
that's not uncommon even locally when you look at child
sex issues. You want the person who was the victim
not to have to go through all of that process.
So they work it out and they charge them. That
there was a ten counts charged in Hamilton County last

(01:21:19):
year for somebody that years ago, right, So so that
but it does make it hard after the fact to say, well,
now we're going to present it at an open trial
because the testimony that you would need is conditioned to
the settlement agreements. And then setting that aside, Let's say
that never happened. We all know Epstein wasn't self employed, right,

(01:21:43):
I'm not saying he was on payroll, but he was.
He was being he was coordinating his activities with someone.
And when alex Acosta went after him when he was
just attorney in Miami and got a conviction or you know,
for primes, he was told to kind of back off
a little bit because he's intelligence affiliated. Well is that

(01:22:06):
US intelligence? Is that an ally? And what we're seeing
is this administration and continuity with many administrations, isn't going
to allow discovery to take place. And when you go
to open trial, you have to allow discovery, and the
reality they're not going to let that discovery phase happen,

(01:22:26):
including under compulsion of the law. The redactions continue and
that's what's slowing the release down. They're reviewing it so
that they can redact things.

Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
Well, I mean, is there some nefarious motive behind this
because so many of these victims they have come out
and outed themselves, so they're not even asking for some
anonymity to be maintained. So what's going on behind the
scenes that is the nefarious component to this? Because seems
to me because the law says it overwhelmingly bipartisan support

(01:22:55):
to get the damned documents out by December last year
hasn't happened. I mean, I'm just not buying into this
whole redaction thing that they've been sitting on them for
how long?

Speaker 11 (01:23:05):
Yeah, well, I do buy the redactions, as I say,
but there is something nefarious there, because like, look, it's
one thing if someone was involved in some hideous crime
for an intelligence service to use that as blackmail and leverage,
and you know, that's sort of the stuff of movies

(01:23:26):
on the one hand. But the other side is when
I'm talking to an intelligence official about something else, they said, well,
if there was no deviant behavior, there would be no leverage, right,
So you look for these kinds of things so that
you have blackmail and leverage. Well, it's a whole different
thing than when the intelligence service engineers the whole trap
and operates something in particularly when it's something that exploits minors. Yeah,

(01:23:51):
and so it's one thing when you see consenting adults
participating in things that you find morally wrong. But it's
totally different when you're exploiting kids and against their consent,
even as kids. Right now, they were raped and by
the accounts of the victims, and so I think there
has to be justice, and to get that you've got

(01:24:12):
to have facts. But I think, honestly, there are enough
facts right now to say you get to change some
things and people have to be held accountable for it.
And I think that's the sense of outrage that a
lot of people get for whatever reason at times. President
Trump seems to be immune to that, even though he
was pushing it for a long time before he had
the ability to do more on it. And I think

(01:24:35):
that's where a lot of people are like, well, what changed?

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
I mean exactly, I'm one of those last year, I'm
one of those people.

Speaker 7 (01:24:41):
What changed?

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
What changed? Yeah? And those unanswered questions are what driving
people crazy, like me, what the hell is the problem?
Why did you go one eighty? Why are people now
clamoring for them that weren't asking for them earlier when
they could have produced them themselves? The Democrats? Anyway, I
apologize Congressman Davidson. We are at a time I could
talk to you for hours. You know that we'll get
you back on next week, and I sure appreciate your
willingness to come on the program and keep up the

(01:25:03):
great work, sir.

Speaker 11 (01:25:06):
Always an honor, gab bless you and all your listeners.

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
Thank you, sir. Seven twenty nine fifty about Karssee Talks.
Seven thirty three fifty five Kerseed Talk Station. Happy Friday, Eve,
Jim Lewis building blocks for liberty at the top of
the hour, News with the Constitution boot Camp going on
a dayton in the meantime. Welcome to the fifty five
KRSSEE Morning Show. Running for US Senate, currently a member
of the House Representatives, probably serving Kentucky sixth Congressional district

(01:25:29):
since twenty thirteen, Andy Barr. Welcome to the fifty five
Carssee Morning Show. It's pleasure to have you on today.

Speaker 6 (01:25:35):
Good morning, Brian, how are you?

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
I am doing much better today and not going to
go through my health history with you, sir, but it'sufficed
to say to my listeners and no I've been struggling late.
I'm doing great and I feel really good today, so
and I hope you can say the same. What's the motive?
What's the motive to run for Senate, Andy Barr? What's
your primary goal and what do you hope to accomplish?
If you could pick one singular issue that you want
to get fixed or done or accomplished. What would you

(01:26:00):
what would you say? It would be?

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
Well, look, I mean the problem we have in this
country right now is that we've got extreme, far left.

Speaker 7 (01:26:11):
People who want.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
To commit suicide. They want the country to commit suicide,
and they want to do it in a lot of
different ways. They want to open our border to flood
our country with people who disagree with our culture, inundate
our country with poisonous drugs. They want to punish success
by embracing socialism over free enterprise.

Speaker 7 (01:26:35):
They want to use the.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
Fear of climate change to drive an irrational shift away
from reliable energy, which would destroy and undermine our international competitiveness.
And they want to weaken our defense budget. They want
to weaken our military with DEI. They want to rationalize
terrorism and anti semitism and appease China. A lot of

(01:27:00):
issues in there, but it's all fundamentally linked to this
idea that there is a group of people in our
country who want to repudiate everything that makes our country
strong and good. And so I'm running to prevent the suicide.
I'm running to restore the American dream. And as President

(01:27:22):
Trump says make America great again. And that's what we
mean when we say make America great again, we mean
to prevent the suicide and to restore the greatness of
our country. Yeah, that's why I'm running for the United
States Senate.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
Well, and I embrace everything you just said, because there
are so many people out there that really just don't
believe the concept that, oh, they don't want to bring
down America. They just want some fairness. I just need
a little extra money from you to give to that
person over there.

Speaker 7 (01:27:49):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
Ultimately, this is just to bring down the United States
of America. I mean, look what happened to Europe talking
about this carbon dioxide removal phenomenon, this religion that people
have embraced. Look what happened to Europe. They're a cautionary tale.

Speaker 7 (01:28:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
Trump comes in and he wants to undo the energy policy,
and good for him, because clearly, keeping the lights on
when it's going down to minus six degrees over the
weekend is an important thing to have. You can't do
it with windmills and solar panels. And of course if
you try, the price of energy goes through the damn roof.
And the government isn't offering a subsidy to help us
with our energy bills like they are with Obamacare, are

(01:28:24):
they Andy, Well.

Speaker 6 (01:28:26):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
And you know, this religion of sustainability over American competitiveness
is what is going to threaten our ability to compete
with China, our peer competitor. We have a lot of
adversaries out there in the world, but the one thing
you can say about China is they are committed to
winning the race for these technologies of the future, including

(01:28:50):
artificial intelligence and AI is a is a very very
very important technology of the future. And we have to
win the race, and we have to win the race
of every phase of the stack. And at the very
base of that stack is energy. And China is building

(01:29:13):
two new coal power plants a week.

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
They do not care about emissions. They do not the
United States. The United States, we to the extent you care.

Speaker 7 (01:29:25):
About the climate or the environment.

Speaker 6 (01:29:27):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
The answer is the American way, which is innovation, technology, science.
That's how we compete and win. Uh, and and and
solve problems. We don't solve problems with another thousand pages
of regulations. That's not how you solve problems. But that's
how the left wants to do it, and frankly, they

(01:29:48):
use climate as an excuse to grow government and to
control your life. Oh I've been I've been fighting that
my entire my entire term of Congress.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Without question. You take the idea of carbon removal from
the process and you eliminate all of the plans that
they want to run after. It's all the name of
that religion postmor moment, Andy Barr is where you find
them online, it's bar b a r R four Senate
dot com forty If you have kc detalk station and
you find them online, bar b a r R four
Senate dot com. And that is the word for nothing,

(01:30:19):
Number four bar for Senate dot Com. Andy bar in
the program, Uh, trying to get elected in Kentucky for
I guess it's Mitch McConnell's seed correct, Andy.

Speaker 7 (01:30:28):
Well, it's the people of Kentucky seed Well.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Mitch McConnell has has held the seat for forty two years,
and this is the the excuse me, this is the
first time, this is the first time in forty two
years that the seat has been open and there's not
been an incumbent running.

Speaker 7 (01:30:45):
So it's it's an important choice. It's an important.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Choice for the people of Kentucky, uh and for the
future of the country and control of the Senate.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
It clearly is. And I just got to stick to
the energy policy. You you sound or are clearly and
above the of all the above type of strategy. Guy,
You'll do what's practical to give us efficient and reliable energy,
which we definitely need for AI. You know the interesting thing,
I got to pivot over to artificial intelligence. I think
is great for a couple of reasons. One artificial intelligence

(01:31:17):
power needs has opened up the concept of actually using small,
modular reactors which don't produce any carbon if you care
about that your religious fanatics out there, but also produces
an abundance of electricity and with a very small footprint.
These aren't the giant three mile island type reactors anymore.
It's new technology. We're in twenty twenty six now, for

(01:31:39):
God say so, let's wake up to it. So, by
virtue of artificial intelligence, corporate lords and masters, you know,
the Bill Gates of the world, who are clamoring for
this reliable energy source, it sounds to me like we're
going to start getting it. It's been an impediment, but
there's the answer to so many problems and then pivoting
over to the other benefit of AI in spite of
the downsides of it. We can use artificial intelligence to

(01:32:02):
ferret out fraud, waste, and abuse in our government programs,
which seems to loom everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Andy, well, you're exactly right that AI has tremendous promise.
I mean, whoever wins the AI race is going to
shape the global standards that govern AI. Remember that, and
the United States needs to set the standards, not the
authoritarian communist regime in Beijing. And whoever sets the standards

(01:32:31):
will in turn help that country move markets towards its
companies and its norms. Leadership and AI can also produce
faster innovation, greater productivity, higher GDP growth. I was at
an AI kind of summit yesterday in financial services, and
you can see the amazing applications from fraud prevention to

(01:32:54):
improving credit underwriting, to providing faster ways to submit an
insurance claim. There's just amazing efficiencies that can be gained
in our economy. But in the military context, AI can
improve targeting, logistics, surveillance, wargaming, decision support, autonomous systems and

(01:33:16):
believe you me the Chinese Communist Party is applying AI
and some of the most sophisticated AI to their military platforms.
That's why they want to annex Taiwan. Taiwan is an
island democracy, and it's not just about their historical grievances
of the nationalists versus the communists from nineteen forty nine.

(01:33:40):
They want to take over Taiwan because Taiwan, that small
island democracy, produces ninety percent of the world's most advanced semiconductors,
the two to three and animeter semiconductor chips that go
into AI, and so you've got it. In order to
win the race of AI, you've got multiple stacks. You
have to have energy, you have to have semiconductors, you

(01:34:03):
have to have advanced semiconductors. You have to have AI infrastructure,
the data centers. On top of that, you have to
have the models. We have the best models for sure.
In Vidia, for example, produces the chips. But we have
all these companies like you know, claud Anthropic, Chat, GPT,
Open AI.

Speaker 7 (01:34:23):
They have the best models.

Speaker 2 (01:34:25):
But as Jensen Wang says, the CEO of Nvidia China
is nanoseconds behind us in all of this. And then Finally,
the applications, the technology companies that build the apps on
top of the over these models. So in the entire
AI stack, we have to be dominant in order to

(01:34:48):
protect our national security, advance our economic competitiveness. And at
the very base of that, at a very base of
that is energy. And you talked about all of the above. Yes,
we need all of the above, but in order to
run the AI data centers, you have to have firm
baseload power, not intermittent power.

Speaker 4 (01:35:05):
Not.

Speaker 7 (01:35:07):
Speculative power.

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
Yeah, SMRs is definitely part of the mix in terms
of the solution, but we need to go back to baseload,
firm power. The most reliable, affordable energy we know, and
that's fossil energy, including coal. In Kentucky, we're very fortunate
in Kentucky our geology, we have an ocean of coal.
After one hundred and fifteen years of mining coal, we
still have an ocean of coal. My plan for Kentucky,

(01:35:31):
my vision for Kentucky as Kentucky's next US Senator, is
to put our people back to work in mining, in energy,
in manufacturing, and help us build the AI infrastructure of
the future so that yes, Kentucky compete at Kentucky can
compete and win, but also to help Kentucky help the
United States advance our national security and help the United

(01:35:51):
States win the race for AI and these other energy
energy demand technologies the future, including quantum computing and digital
assets as well.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
Well. We need electricity to run the globe. There is
no question about it.

Speaker 6 (01:36:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
The only problem and yes, my tongue is in my cheek,
and you're gonna take a quick break here, but you're
gonna have to lure those former coal miners away from
those green energy jobs that Obama put him in. Remember right,
Continue with the conversation with Andy Barr. He's currently representing
Kentucky's sixth congressional district. He's running for Senate, going to
in his hope, takeover for Mitch McConnell after nine thousand years.

(01:36:31):
B A R R Bar four Senate dot com Real
quick here, you know you're talking about chip manufacturing. My
son follows this artificial intelligence in these industries very closely,
and he had commented to me the other day had
read an article about maybe Taiwan investing in manufacturing here
in the United States. Trump's been around touting all of
the foreign investment that he has brought in the United States. Why,

(01:36:53):
given the threat that China poses a legitimate existential threat
to the Taiwan, these people and this industry, would it
behoove them to just move it over here to a
safe place. Let's start making these vital chips now here.

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
Absolutely, absolutely, we need supply chain resiliency. We've learned that
the hard way, and not only for not only for chips,
but also for the ingredients of pharmaceuticals. Our supply chains
are overly dependent on China. With that and critical minerals.
China dominates over ninety percent of the critical minerals, including
some of the rare earth elements to go into our

(01:37:28):
national security weapons systems. It's extremely dangerous. So there's a
lot of supply chains that we need to move around.
That's why President Trump is so focused on using the
tools of economic staycraft and not just trade, not just tariffs,
but export controls and outbound investment restrictions that I've worked
with this administration on.

Speaker 7 (01:37:49):
I've led on that, and you know, look, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:37:53):
The bottom line, Brian is I wouldn't be running for
this seat if I didn't think I was the best
candidate for the job can tell that I'm very immersed
in you know, restoring you know, American competitiveness through free enterprise,
you know, making sure that we're the global leader in
these technologies in the futures, because we're in a competition,

(01:38:15):
and I'm the only candidate in this race who's actually
helping President Trump right now enact his agenda. There's a
lot of candidates out there who like to talk about
supporting President Trump.

Speaker 7 (01:38:25):
They say they're a Trump guy.

Speaker 6 (01:38:26):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:38:27):
Well, I was the chairman of his campaign in Kentucky
in twenty twenty four in the primary, and the President
has worked with me over the years, and that's a
major difference between me and these other candidates. I'm actually
helping President Trump now in the Congress. And the other
thing is I'm the only candidate in this race with

(01:38:48):
a proven track record of actually advancing conservative policies in
the Congress. There are other candidates with other credentials, but
those credentials don't include the ability to hit the ground
running on day one. I'm doing the job now. I
know the job. I have existing relationships with senators, with
the administration, with cabinet members.

Speaker 7 (01:39:10):
I work with those cabinet members.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
They have my cell phone number, I have theirs, and
we talk about how we can work with this president
to advance the cause that we all share. And then
the last thing I would say is we owe it
to our philosophy to win. And I am a proven
winner in a tough swing district in Kentucky. I represent
the only purple swing district in the state, and the

(01:39:33):
Lexington area is known as the Big Blue Nation. We
say it because of the Kentucky Wildcats, but it's the
Big Blue Nation for another reason too. Politically, Fayett County
in central Kentucky, my home area, voted Obama, Obama, Clinton, Biden,
Kamala Harris, and yet for seven straight elections. Even though

(01:39:56):
I have been battle tested, even though Nancy Pelosi has
thrown millions of dollars to defeat me, even though I
flipped a seat from Democrat to Republican and held it.
I have won over and over again in that tough district.
And the only way a Democrat can win statewide in
Kentucky is to win my district. That's how one of
my opponents, the former Attorney General, was defeated in a

(01:40:20):
statewide election in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 7 (01:40:21):
He lost to our governor.

Speaker 2 (01:40:23):
Our governor, our democratic governor won because he defeated my
opponent by nineteen points in my district. This may sound imodest,
but I'm not going to lose my district. I've won
it seven straight times. I can block their path. So
if you want to take Kentucky off the map, if
you want to defeat the Democrats and those who want

(01:40:43):
to help our country commit suicide. If you want to
stop the suicide, nominate the best, strongest conservative Republican who
is going to help this president, who will win in
the fall.

Speaker 7 (01:40:54):
And you know, the Democrats released.

Speaker 2 (01:40:56):
A poll and the poll showed him December, or that
I am the only Republican candidate with a comfortable double
digit lead over all the Democrats. The other Republican candidates
who have been on your show, who have talked about
running for this seat, they risk putting this seat in danger.
They're either tied with the Democrats and by the way,
not just the Democrats but socialists, they're tied with them,

(01:41:21):
or they have a very uncomfortable single digit lead. I
want to earn the support of Republicans in northern Kentucky,
not just because I can win, but because I would
be the best senator to advance our cause.

Speaker 7 (01:41:37):
But you owe it to your philosophy to win.

Speaker 2 (01:41:40):
And frankly, Republicans should not be worried about Kentucky and
holding the seat in Kentucky in the fall. They need
to be worried about Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire.
We need to take Kentucky off the map so that
this president knows he has a reliable porter and principal

(01:42:02):
conservative in the Senate, all.

Speaker 1 (01:42:04):
Right, and they'll have an opportunity to make that choice
on the Republican side of the ledger is the primary
in March, sir, I apologize for not knowing that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
No, the primary is May nineteenth. May May nineteenth, And
many of your listeners may have never met me or
know about me and my service in Congress because I'm
not in the media market for northern Kentucky.

Speaker 7 (01:42:26):
But listen, it's been a privilege of.

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
A lifetime to fight big government, to support free market
capitalism and free enterprise and cut taxes, cut spending, cut regulation,
forced the government to live within this means. It's been
a privilege to fight for those ideas and those ideals
in the United States Congress for the last several terms,
but it would be an even greater privilege to represent

(01:42:49):
all of Kentucky, including Northern Kentucky, which let's face it,
it is an economic juggernaut for the Commonwealth with CBG
and the logistics up there, and I would be honored
to represent the folks.

Speaker 1 (01:43:02):
Up there getting better every day. Andy Barr find one
line b A R R Bar four Senate dot com,
learn about his issues, where he stands on things, help
him out if you choose too, you got choices to make.
May's coming up fast approaching, Andy Barr, It's been a
great heavy on the morning shows. Good talking with you,
and good luck the film.

Speaker 4 (01:43:18):
I just put up the app fifty five KRZ the talkstation.

Speaker 1 (01:43:25):
At six if you buy KRC the talk station Happy Friday.
He one thing that's for sure. Bottom of the hour,
we're gonna hear from my heart meatyavas expert Jay Rattle.
Have a lot to talk about with Jay, and I
have feelings he's gonna have something to say about the
big snow coming this weekend. Hope today's anyway without further ado,
and it's been too long since we talked. Thank you

(01:43:46):
for your service. To our country. Retired Marine Jim Lewis
one of the men behind Building Blocks for Liberty. He
noticed there is a huge hole in R K through
twelve education system because sadly, we live in the United
States of America and they no longer teach civic, they
no longer teach the constitution, they no longer teach the
reason we've had a revolution against the king and started

(01:44:07):
our own country. Jim Lewis knew that, and that's why
he started Building Blocks for Liberty. Welcome back to Jim.
It's always a pleasure having you on the show.

Speaker 6 (01:44:13):
Well, thank you so much, Brian. I really appreciate y'all
having me back on and I always enjoyed being all
with you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:44:19):
Well, you're doing great work out there in the world
and again filling that massive hole in our education system.
I mean, I just I have to observe that. You know,
we live in the United States of America celebrating two
hundred and fifty glorious years. Not perfect, I will agree,
but making progress better and better every single year of
our existence. And here we are, and we don't have

(01:44:39):
a country, or we live in a country where state
legislative bodies have to pass laws forcing K through twelve
education to actually incorporate civic classes into the curriculum. That's
that's batcrap and saying, Jim Lewis.

Speaker 6 (01:44:54):
That is just sad and it makes you wonder why
they're not teaching.

Speaker 1 (01:44:59):
It because they're not proud of who we are, right,
But we have to, you know, take what we got
and we're moving on with it.

Speaker 6 (01:45:10):
And we work hard work trying to work with kids.
I teach, you know, two days a week at a
Christian homeschool group now you know, and you know, teach
American history and world history to them, and it's really great.
We're now parent. We've really been doing a lot of
work over the last year and we're finally we're we're

(01:45:32):
working with Wright State University now their Civics department, and
we are going to be doing a boot camp up
there next month, and then we're going to also do
one of our we've got liberty lessons. We're going to
be doing one liberty lesson a month at Wright State
University for the rest of the year.

Speaker 1 (01:45:49):
Well, that's like going into isn't that going into like
occupied territory? You're sneaking behind commy lines in order to
teach American political philosophy the way it should be taught.
I mean, how did you get your foot in the
door of a university, Jim Lewis, And of course building blocks,
so liberty is behind the whole idea of the Constitution.
Boot camp. We've got one coming up we're going to
talk about. But I mean, I would like to think

(01:46:10):
that Wright State is one of many down the road universities.
You're going to get this information back in the in
the class.

Speaker 6 (01:46:17):
Yeah, they're they're starting to have a state man data.
Of course, ctimcs that offer an alternative voice to the students,
and so you know, bad bless them. That's getting us
in there now. We've been working with them for the
last ten months on you know, how do we get
into the end of the air. So we're actually going up.

(01:46:40):
You know, we're doing it right on campus. It's going
to be great, well.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
It will be great. And of course I'm thinking that
these are these are young people. They're adults if they're
in college for the most part. You know, I turned
eighteen as a freshman, that you see. But adults, they
should have already had a solid foundation in constitutional history.
And yet they presumably at least everything I've been reading,
they have been indoctrinated in this woke leftist, pro socialist,

(01:47:06):
anti American ideology. It's been steeped into the curriculum for
K through twelve education across this country. So you're facing
perhaps and maybe not a challenge bringing about this very
factual information about what exactly our constitution means.

Speaker 6 (01:47:25):
Yeah, well, the words you said very factual. That's what
really helps us. And you know, we have no fear
of going in there because we're going to present the
truth that's verifiable. Whereas when they start questioning what they've
been told, they're not going to be able to verify it.
So what makes it kind of easy to change minds

(01:47:45):
if they want to have an open mind and actually
want to know do a little checking for themselves.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
Yeah, and I assume, based upon your philosophy of life,
you won't mind any questions in class when you're teaching
this on a college level either.

Speaker 6 (01:47:59):
Love having question good. That's how we brut out.

Speaker 1 (01:48:03):
That is that's where you make your points. Man, you know,
open for them, ask any questions you want. You're on sold,
We're on rock solid ground. That's beautiful, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:48:12):
So exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
You will be expanding this and I'm focusing on this, this,
this broader expansion for Building Blocks for Liberty dot org
because you are a five O one C three nonprofit.
But something tells me you're not the kind of five o'
one c three nonprofit where you, Jim Lewis, are making
half a million dollars a year on the donations the
Building Blocks for Liberty.

Speaker 6 (01:48:33):
Oh I wish No. We've been doing this now for
fifteen years and we've never taken a diamond tay any
of us.

Speaker 1 (01:48:43):
Oh yeah, listening audience, did you hear that.

Speaker 6 (01:48:46):
We live on donations? You know, whatever people donate to us.
That is what enables us to do things, you know,
like go on to Wright State University and have enough
fund so that we can buy books. Because once students
attend attend to our classes, they attend for free, so
we have to put the bill for them. We pay

(01:49:07):
for all their books and everything. So and we don't
mind doing that, but you know, donations, are you really
helpful to help us do that provide booked and materials
to students.

Speaker 1 (01:49:18):
I have learned over the years, I have a very
very generous listening audience when it comes to truly important
and worthy causes, they typically step up to the plate.
So I'm really going to encourage those you are listening
to my voice right now, building blocks for the brother
word for building blocks for Liberty dot org. Help them
out and help them spread the just the unbelievable beauty

(01:49:39):
and awesomeness of the Founding documents in our country and
pivoting over You're going to be doing even doing these
Constitution boot camps since twenty eleven, right, isn't it the
first year you started?

Speaker 6 (01:49:50):
That's correct, twenty elevens when we first started doing them,
and we just keep doing them, and I think they
keep getting better and better. We keep, you know, in
corporate rating information that people want and they need to hear.
So yeah, we're just excited about it. We've got one
coming up this Saturday. It's going to be in Huber Heights.

(01:50:13):
It's Concerned Veterans for America sponsoring it, and yeah, we're
doing one. Then then we've got a Liberty lesson on
the thirty first in Sharonville on the pursuit of Happiness
and answering common misconceptions about the American Founding that's being

(01:50:35):
done by one of our newest members. Mark Barrell's written
two books on these subjects of the Declaration and things
like that. Then we go back up to like I said, Fairborne,
up to Wright State on the twenty first of February
to do a boot camp, and we've got another boot
camp in elevenon on the twenty eighth of March. That's
what we've got scheduled so far. We've got a lot

(01:50:57):
of stuff that were over the next two or three weeks,
We're gonna have a lot of stuff scheduled.

Speaker 1 (01:51:01):
Absolutely, I'm so pleased to hear that that is all
going on, and maybe even more. Jim Lewis pause. I'm
going to bring you back talk a little bit more
about the boot camp, what people are going to, you know,
go in and find out what they're going to get
when they're there, what they're going to learn. But also
I'm gonna press you a little bit on this Pursuit
of Happiness seminar. You're doing building blocks for Liberty dot org.

(01:51:24):
Check it out, get all the information and yeah, hit
that donate button. Jim Lewis pause. Will bring you right
back at eight fourteen right now fifty five K see
talk station. Here's what's happening Green They talk Station Barn.
Tim is talking with Jim Lewis. He's the man, one
of the people behind. He's not taking full credit for
building blocks for liberty to do. Constitution boot camps, next
one taking place Saturday. It's not too late to sign up.

(01:51:45):
Concerned Veterans for America is the sponsor forty four sixty
two Brandt Pike nine am to three pm. You get
more constitution, more US founding documents, history than you can manage.
They're going to teach you how to talk about it,
how to you know, discuss the Constitution, so you're prepared
to engage with people who are ignorant to the beauty
of our United States Constitution. But they're also going to get,

(01:52:07):
for the low low price of thirty bucks to get
into the class, a free lunch as well as copies
of the Federalist papers and the Handbook for We the
People and a Constitution as well.

Speaker 6 (01:52:17):
Right exactly, So get it all?

Speaker 1 (01:52:21):
Okay? And I also you mentioned the word sponsor Concerned
Veterans of American as a sponsor. You're looking for other
organizations to host a Constitution boot camp. I'm checking out
your web page. You got upcoming events. You're soliciting people
out there in the world to get in touch with
you to do a boot camp.

Speaker 6 (01:52:40):
Am I right, Yes, we do. We do. We start
doing that in November for the fall, you know, the
next year, and we continue doing it. And you know,
that's how we got the concerned veterans folks. And you know,
I think we start picking up other groups like that,
church groups and things like that that want us to
come in and you know, put on a class in
their church. You know, we look for locations that are

(01:53:02):
going to be free. You know, we minimize our costs
and everything that we do. And sometimes the groups are
sponsoring us will actually provide the lunch so we don't
have to, you know, pay out our pockets for that too.
So it works out real nice.

Speaker 1 (01:53:17):
That sure does so, church group. And I know from
your materials you even have introductory materials that maybe a parishional,
a parishioner can present to the pastor the church's governing board,
for example, to explain exactly what you want to do.
It kind of greases the skids, get your foot in
the door. And this is all a noble cause. Now
I got to ask you and sort of half jokingly,

(01:53:41):
but more seriously state I don't think these crazy leftists
that are running around screaming at everyone all the time,
I don't think they're capable of happiness. I think it
seems to me if you gave them everything they want,
they would still be angry and mad as hell about something.
But you talked about the seminars on pursuit of happiness
just boiled down. Jim Lewis, what what does that talk about?

(01:54:02):
What do you what do you engage in when you
do when you do those classes?

Speaker 6 (01:54:07):
Well, you know, Mark Burrell does the class and like
I said, he's written two books on the Declaration and
you know the pursuit of happiness that comes from the
Declaration of Independence, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And what Mark does is he basically breaks it down.
You know, what did the founders mean when they said life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You know, he wants

(01:54:29):
to unpack the total, the full meaning from that phrase
and this connection to the freedom we enjoy when we
have these rights protected by government which is supposed to
do so he kind of gets into the whole thing
and says, here's what it is, here's what it means.
And oh, by the way, did you know government's supposed
to protect these rights from us? And explains goes down

(01:54:52):
that road too. So it's really pretty full.

Speaker 1 (01:54:56):
I'm sure it is, and a lot to unpack here.
You will be doing a dive. I mean, I know
they get a copy of the folks who attend the
building blocks classes on constitution boot can't get the Federalist papers.
But those are critical documents when you need when you're
trying to understand the Constitution itself.

Speaker 6 (01:55:15):
Well, you know the Federalist papers, that's you know, your explanation.
Here's what everybody says, Well, what did the founders intend
when they wrote that? Well, look at the Federalist papers.
That's what they were written for, to tell you what
their intentions were. When the Constitution was crafted and constructed
in Philadelphia in seventeen eighty seven, James Madison, you know

(01:55:36):
called the Father of the Constitution, along with Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton,
and John Jay sat down and started answering questions being
asked by folks who came to be known as the
anti Federalists because they were asking questions saying the Constitution
leaves the doors open for this, this, and this, and
they would answer back, no, it doesn't and here's why.
Boom boom boom. So you know, it's kind of like

(01:55:58):
the addendum to a contract. The constitutions a contract, the
Federal's papers, in my views, like that the addendum the
opposing lawyer answering the questions that you know, the other
person's asking about what the contract says. So you've got
to have the federal's papers and you've got to know
how to use them. And that's what we teach is
what are the Federal's papers and how do you use

(01:56:20):
them in connection with the Constitution. We teach that in
this class.

Speaker 1 (01:56:24):
It's like an appendix to the Constitution, so like a
definition or a bibliography that goes along with it, exactly
building blocks Celebrity Constitution boot Camp, it's the informations on
my blog page. But five krec dot com and ideally, Jim,
what's the age group you're you're you're hoping to best
serve by for folks attending the class. I mean, is

(01:56:46):
there a cutoff like I don't want anybody over the
age of twenty or something, or is it all comers?
What's what's your focus? What's your all comers?

Speaker 6 (01:56:55):
All comers, I wouldn't bring kids younger than ten or
twelve because they're.

Speaker 11 (01:57:00):
And get bored.

Speaker 1 (01:57:01):
That fair enough statement managing expectations.

Speaker 6 (01:57:07):
Twelve we're over y'all, come.

Speaker 1 (01:57:09):
Get them on in there. Made it real easy to
do that, Jim. Joe Streker put your information up on
the blog Pagevie you have CARC dot com. Jim Lewis,
you know you always have a spot here in the
morning show. Spread the love about what you are doing
in the interest of American history and American education and
an effort to well protect what we have here which
so many people seem to want to throw out the door.
Jim Lewis, thank you for your service to our country

(01:57:31):
and your ongoing patriotism and service through the building blocks
for Liberty dot org site. Thank you right, always a
pleasure if I'm the talk station. Hey, twenty nine fifty
five KRC the talk station. Very Happy Friday Eve. You
made extra special every Friday or Friday Eve at this
time anyway with iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratlift Jay, welcome

(01:57:53):
back to my friend. It's always great having you on
the show.

Speaker 3 (01:57:56):
Oh the highlight of my day.

Speaker 1 (01:57:57):
Brother let's talk to you. So kind of me to say,
and I've been giving thanks to everyone who's wished me
well having the camp chemo treatments. And actually your post
on Facebook, I know you didn't mention me specifically, but
I knew darn well who you were talking about since
we've talked about that brought a tear to my eye.
All the response you have a lot of people out
in the prayer community answering the challenge man that I'll
give credit to you and all those others who you know,

(01:58:18):
prayed for me in my in my good health, because
I'm pretty much firing on all cylinders today after a
few days of downtime. So it's a small price to pay.

Speaker 12 (01:58:26):
No, but the six hour, six hour treatment, man, I
tell you that that that that's got to be rough,
and you've been through stuff like this before, and it's
you know, I mean, just I mean, how arrogant is
it of us to every day wake up and just
take the day we've been given like it's uh, it's
owed to us, it's it's deserved. It's yeah, I mean,
it's it's a daily gift and you just never know

(01:58:49):
what's going to happen. So many days. At the end
of the day, I pray, thank God today wasn't the
worst day of my life. Thank God nothing happened where
friends or family were suddenly removed out of my life.
I mean, you just just when you look at life
as just a daily gift that I think allows us
to let the small stuff just kind of slide by
without us getting too worked up over it.

Speaker 1 (01:59:09):
Beautiful philosophy, man, beautiful. All right, I'll tell you what
I'm gonna do. I'm not throwing a real curveball at you,
but I am going to change the order of things.
Given we've got Snowmageddon coming in, and assuming that we
do get Snowmageddon, I'm not asking you to predict exactly
where the hub delays will be, but it sounds to
me like we're going to have some travel challenges going
over the weekend. Day.

Speaker 12 (01:59:29):
Well, I can do pretty good with that. I mean,
we know that this massive storm is set to create
a weekend to havoc across the country, and we're already
seeing airlines adjust their flight schedules Accordingly, we're looking at
twenty hours of freezing rain in Dallas, and that's going
to impact American airlines hub that's there, so we're seeing
some big issues there. The mess is expected in Houston

(01:59:49):
and that's a United hub, So we're seeing both of
these airlines cancel flights in advance. And as this storm
spreads across the country, you know through us from Memphis,
it throw us towards the northeast, we're looking at tens
of thousands of flights that are going to be going
to be impacted as well. Airlines have issued a weather
waiver that's for any passenger that's traveling to or through

(02:00:10):
any of these affected areas. If you want to change
your itinerary to travel at a different time, you can
do so absent a change fee. And I think it's
going to be so bad that it's actually going to
be something that's going to spill into Monday morning because
it's going to be a weekend event, and that's going
to prevent some aircraft from reaching their final destination on
Sunday night that makes up the Monday morning originators. So

(02:00:34):
it is going to be again just wall to wall
habit with everything that's going to be going on. And
if it's just snow, I mean airlines can operate in snow,
they just do it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:46):
More slowly.

Speaker 12 (02:00:46):
But when you're talking about three, four or five inches
of ice and those types of things, airlines are going
to cancel the flight because you're not going to put
an aircraft that could a go off a runway, off
of a taxiway, not be able to be under a
complete control on the tarmac. Those kinds of things can
really create a safety issue. Plus innvenience for passengers.

Speaker 1 (02:01:06):
Yeah, well plus lifts.

Speaker 7 (02:01:10):
What does the ice?

Speaker 12 (02:01:12):
You're good to go? And but yeah, you know, the
whole point is that airlines see this storm coming and look,
I'm just glad it wasn't a month ago. Can you imagine,
you know, December twenty third, twenty fourth, we're talking about
this kind of storm, So thankfully it was now. But
airlines do a horrible job at customer service. But I
always have to give them high marks when it comes
to irregular operations and weather related events. They're they're going

(02:01:35):
to make sure that, look, if we need to cancel
this flight, let's do it so we can notify people
at home, so that you know, they don't get to
fight to get to the airport only to find out
the flight's been canceled. And sometimes it's just a matter
of an online reroute. You might be flying American Airlines
through Dallas and it's going to be a mess, and
they may say, well, Chicago's going to be less of
a mess. Let us route you through there. Because January

(02:01:56):
is not known as a busy, heavy travel month, so
is the real they might have some options. So, uh,
you know, American Airlines just rolled out this new app
that if your itinerary is impacted by any sort of
irregular operation, they send you a link. You click on
it and they give you a bunch of options as
far as what you want to do. Take this light,
this light or that flight cancel or if you need

(02:02:17):
to spend the night, here's something to click on to
get your hotel voucher. Oh you need transportation vouchers here
it is click on that. It's immediate, and it's just
great use of their new It's kind of an AI
type of thing, but it's great that Americans putting that
power in the palm of people's hands because in a
storm like this, I'm telling you it's going to come
in handy.

Speaker 1 (02:02:36):
Well, we're almost out of time. We'll just go ahead
and call it early this time because it sounds cool,
but it sounds like a really really bad idea to mean,
flying cars getting ready to launch, and apparently ozempic is
saving the airlines millions or will be anyway more. With
iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Rattlet's stagram.

Speaker 11 (02:02:54):
Fifty five KRC dot com, you're one stop for advertising.

Speaker 1 (02:02:58):
KRZ deep talk to face.

Speaker 3 (02:03:00):
We've ever been in a cockpit before?

Speaker 1 (02:03:01):
And well, of course yay Ratliff. Has I heard media
aviation expert. We get him every Thursday a few segments
talk aviation realities and this now, I initially my reaction
is oh cool. I've been reading about this my entire life.
It looks like flying cars, especially at the low low
price of forty thousand dollars, are getting ready to be delivered,
maybe as early as the second quarter of this year

(02:03:23):
by this new tech company. But you don't have to
be a pilot to fly one. And we're bad enough
out on the roads where we have speed limits and
lane signs and markers and stop signs. What in the
hell is the world going to look like if every Tom,
Dick and Harry has a flying car in their driveway?

Speaker 12 (02:03:41):
Jay, It's gonna be interesting. I mean, this is the
Richter X four. The Richter X four has a list
price of thirty nine thousand nine dollars. That's what they're
saying is gonna be rolled out. It's a single passenger
electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft could use as are.
It's designed to make short range personal flights more accessible,

(02:04:03):
and they're saying more affordable. And the essence is the
top speed of this bad boy's fifty miles an hour,
so you don't have to worry about any top gun maneuvers,
maximum flight time with your electric battery, the payload capacity
to two hundred and twenty pounds, nothing more than that.
And again, as you mentioned, experimental aircraft, meaning the FAA

(02:04:25):
says no pilot license is required. And that's where the
fun or tear begins, depending on how you want to
look at it. Because I mean, we see road rage
every day. I can't imagine. I mean, it's just I
don't see this happening for quite a while.

Speaker 4 (02:04:40):
Now.

Speaker 12 (02:04:40):
What I do see happening is something that the technology
is very very close, and that's these air taxis or
air ubers, where you have a vehicle that lands in
your driveway, you climb in. It's a pre programmed off,
it flies you to your destination and lands. It's a
short range type of thing, but that way, it's pre
programmed specific flight path. Nothing is going to be directing

(02:05:03):
it into power lines, buildings, another vehicle or anything along
those lines. And that's where things are I think headed.

Speaker 3 (02:05:11):
Now.

Speaker 12 (02:05:12):
You know, I'm still waiting for Amazon to deliver my
pizza to the driveway with a drone, So we're not
there yet. So I suspect that it's gonna be wild
for these air taxis, but find there's several steps that
we're moving into that direction, and eventually that's going to
be the case. Airlines like Delta United American, they have
spent just a troum hundreds and hundreds of millions of
dollars investing in this technology for these air uber type things,

(02:05:35):
because they see those as things that will feed their
hubs in places like New York and Dallas and Houston
to bring people from areas around the airport straight to
the airport where you don't have to mess with the
hassle of parking and all the traffic.

Speaker 1 (02:05:50):
Well, I can only see this resulting in immediate legislation
to the extent these things become readily available. There's no
way they're going to let us just fly around without
some kind of rules of regulations and licensing. We'll wait
popcorns out.

Speaker 12 (02:06:06):
Imagine implying to like a Bengals game, and then the
state of people after the game when they're trying to
fly those things, no, thank.

Speaker 1 (02:06:14):
You, especially after a tailgate party.

Speaker 10 (02:06:17):
Exactly my thought.

Speaker 1 (02:06:19):
All right, moving over, I thought this was comical. I
didn't read the article. I just saw your headline. Weight
loss drugs could actually save airlines five and eighty dollars
a year, a little side benefit from the ozempic class drugs.

Speaker 12 (02:06:31):
I guess that's exactly it. There was a study that
was put out by Jeffries, they're a financial services firm,
and they said, look, the four largest airlines American, Delta, Southwest,
United could save collectively that five hundred and eighty million
or more on fuel thanks to those those drug related
you know things that are going just going crazy right now.

(02:06:53):
And they're saying less fuel means lighter passengers, which means
the airlines can use less fuel to get the planes
to their destination and they can make even more money. Now,
the fun part would be if they were going to
reward us we're losing that weight by lowering our fares,
but we both know that's not going to happen. United

(02:07:13):
in Delta just now, they recently both reported their quarterly
profit of more than a billion dollars in a quarter. Now,
I mean, when you think about the history of aviation,
the idea of a making any money in a year
was unbelievable. If you made a billion in a year,
it was historic. And now they're rolling these things out

(02:07:35):
quarterly because the credit card stuff. You and I've talked
about before. But remember, no airline would have made any
money in twenty twenty four absent of their credit card agreement.
So when you see the airlines are making that and
now an extra five hundred and eighty million dollars collectively
on top because we're losing weight, just doesn't seem fair.

Speaker 1 (02:07:55):
I guess the one benefit to the consumer, the larger
among us won't have to buy two seats anymore if
they stick with the ozempeic and lose the weight.

Speaker 12 (02:08:03):
Well, yeah, in airlines continue to kind of amend their
their plus size passenger policy becoming a little bit more
hard to work with, and you know, the airline seats
keep getting smaller. And that's the other thing with wait
and balance on an aircraft. As soon as somebody comes
out with a seat as FAA approved, crash resistant and
all the things we have to have that's lighter than

(02:08:25):
what's being used, airlines is going to use it. Oh yeah,
it may be a whole lot less comfortable, but you know,
if you're only on the plane two three, four hours,
what's the big deal. It's better than a you know,
perhaps a wooden pew at church or a bus seat,
So why not let's throw them in there so you know, Waiting,
balance is everything on this stuff, and I don't know.
We'll see where all it goes.

Speaker 1 (02:08:45):
We will, and coming up to the next segment, we'll
learn if luf ponza's new rules regarding lithium battery are
good and if we will learn something from those those
things freak me out, Jay Ratliff anymore. After all your
stories on those lithium batteries got more other. I got
a a lot of other stories to talk about it.
I don't think we're going to get through all of them.
We'll give it our best. One more with Jay ratlift

(02:09:05):
stick around fifty five the talk station caresee the talk
station Happy Friday, Eve Tomorrow Tech Friday with Dave hat
Or Jack Windsor returns as well. And in the meantime,
I heart me the aviation expert Jay Ratliff bluss to
have them for a full three segments on a Thursday.
And what's with Loftanza. They are dealing with the whole
concept of lithium battery powered devices, which you have brought

(02:09:29):
to my attention more than one occasion, freaking me out.
Those things catch on fire. We all know about that.
But oh lo and behold, what if someone stowed one
away in a baggage compartment down below the plane. You
got a problem on that when they're not supposed to
go there. So how did Luftonza is how is Luftanzo
approaching this new rule?

Speaker 12 (02:09:47):
When you look at some of the YouTube videos and
things that are out there that show how fast these
electronic lithium power devices smolder and ignite, I mean it's
almost instantaneous. So Luthan's is saying for those passengers that
are bringing the power pack devices onto their plane that
you use to charge your devices, one you can't bring

(02:10:07):
any more than two. The second thing is you cannot
use them during the course of the flight.

Speaker 3 (02:10:12):
Three.

Speaker 12 (02:10:13):
They are not to go into the overhead storage compartment.
They're to be under your seat or in the seat
pocket in front of you. The reason for that is
they want them to be visually there so that if
they start to smolder, the passenger will know about it immediately,
they can notify the flight attendant. If it's in the
overhead storage compartment, it could smolder for a period of

(02:10:33):
time and it actually catch fire before anybody's aware of
what's going on. So that's what's Slufonza, which is copying
a lot of what other airlines have been doing. And Brian,
all you've got to do is is google the image
of air Boossan that's BUSAM and you can see what's
left of an airplane that was at the gate when
they were boarding when one of these electronic devices caught

(02:10:55):
on fire. For the most part, the entire top of
the aircraft, the tail is gone. Oh jeez, now that's
from a lithium battery fire at the gate. Thank god
it was at the gate and it wasn't an aircraft
that was in.

Speaker 1 (02:11:07):
The in the air and I'm looking at it right down.

Speaker 12 (02:11:11):
When you see that picture and you know that we
are knowingly being okay with bringing these devices on and
then please pray to God none of these ever reached
the cargo compartment. It just shows how dangerous these things are.
And it's a situation where we continue to say safety
is are number one priority, but we're gonna allow you

(02:11:32):
to bring these things on board. And look, I understand
their phones. I understand that they're tablets. I understand that
they're things that people will not travel without. But when
you recognize the danger of these things represent and how
many times we talk about it, and there's almost one
a week somewhere in the world where these things are happening,
it's just it becomes more and more scary. And I'm

(02:11:52):
just hoping that we can reach the point where, yes,
we can have better on board procedures for making sure
that we've got fire suppression and flight attendants are trained
now to be firefighters so that they can combat these
things so that it doesn't kill everybody on board a flight.
It's also the reason if one of these electronic devices
get stuck in a seat where nobody can reach it,

(02:12:12):
the crew will make an emergency land to get at
the nearest airport. In case it starts to smolder and
catch fire, they can't reach it to put it out.
It's going to spread. And even though you have fire
resistant material throughout the cabin and it's designed that way,
you still have the very real possibility that these things
could be an issue. So it's it's one of those

(02:12:33):
things that you just wonder, you know, how long it's
going to be for somebody's going to get hurt with
these things, and these continue to be one of the
topics that we are forced to talk about.

Speaker 1 (02:12:42):
Well, you know, I've been in situations where you're not
allowed to have a cell phone. You put it in
one of those Faraday bags and you hold that with you,
and that doesn't seem like much of an ask when
you're talking about the massive loss of life that one
of these batteries can cause. You got a device, put
it in the Faraday bag, or put it in the
flame proof bag and maybe if you're using it at
least it'll be out and you'll be able to tell
when it's smoldering, throw it right back in the bag.

(02:13:04):
But all things must be in a fire resistant bag
unless it's being actively used.

Speaker 12 (02:13:08):
Maybe that'd work well anything, but you know, when you
tell people that they can't use their phone, it's like
telling them they need to wear a mask.

Speaker 3 (02:13:15):
It's gonna be tough because.

Speaker 12 (02:13:18):
You know, somebody puts their phone down, the next person
next to them, hey, you need to put your and
that's just gonna have all all this on board stuff
as people try to help police that type of situation. Yes,
it may be to your advance, to your comment, putting
something in the seatback pocket that we can put the
phones into in the event they start to overheat. But
then who's going to pay for those bags to be

(02:13:39):
on the plane? And airlines are into it. I mean,
they're incredibly cheap. They're absolutely not going to so I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:13:46):
It just seems like preventative measures that might save massive
loss of life and end up landing them in a
multi multi million dollar litigation. It seems to me, put
that little money up front, don't pay it to the plane.
Ifs who are dad put on bags or something that's
like putting it.

Speaker 12 (02:14:03):
It's like putting an EpiPen in the onboard medical kit,
which airlines do not do. So many times passengers have
had issues with allergies and they stop breathing and thank God,
a passenger aboard a plane has an EpiPen that is
given to a medical professional that it's administered because you know,
those EpiPens have a shelf life of what eighteen months
or something, I don't know, and airlines are not gonna,

(02:14:23):
you know, spend that much money to put them on
an airplane. Yeah, safety is are number one priority, right,
isn't that what they billion get written down here?

Speaker 1 (02:14:30):
Somewhere billion dollars in one quarter, Jay Ratliff, billion dollars
in a quarter. All right, let's end on what I
think will be a more positive note than than than
then wheels falling off airplanes in Orlando. What about this
sleeper row that's so hot again? Going back to Luftonza, Yeah,
Luthana rolled something out.

Speaker 12 (02:14:48):
It was a couple of years ago, but it's really
starting to catch on. It's a sleeper road in essence,
when you're on a flight. This is the German carrier Lothonsa.
When you're in one of their flights it's eleven hours
or more and you're checking in, you can actually ask
the gate agent, look, I'd like to grab an entire
road to myself so that you can pay for the

(02:15:09):
seats that maybe three or four across. You get them
at a discount and you then have, you know, the
whole road to yourself. It comes with a thin mattress,
a blanket, a pillow. You can lay down to sleep
the whole time if you want, because remember, airline seats
are perishable. Once the door closes, the airlines lose their revenue.
But look, the aircraft's only seventy five percent full. Let's

(02:15:29):
say fourth of those seats unsold. So airlines like, man,
what can we do to raise more money? And they're
really good at this, and they say, well, let's just
sell the whole road to people. And that's what they've
started doing, and it's really catching on now. I still
laugh thinking back of the days when the air you know,
we had fifty five percent load factors and if you
got the whole road to yourself, you could lay down
to sleep without it costing you money. But now they

(02:15:50):
found a way to make even more and this is
really catching on. So for people that we just want
to work and have extra room to put their stuff around,
it's working out well. And but for people that want
to lay down in the sleep that they can do it.
So that's all in Luton's. If you happen to be
on a flight of theirs, it's eleven hours or more, eleven.

Speaker 1 (02:16:07):
Hours or more and probably comes at a premium.

Speaker 12 (02:16:09):
Price, Jay, Well, but not as much as it would
cost to sit in first class and have the lay
down seats. You're going to get a discount here, So
that's how they sell it.

Speaker 7 (02:16:19):
And you know, it's just it's nice.

Speaker 12 (02:16:21):
I mean when you don't have anybody sitting next to
you and you need work or you just want to rest,
or you don't want to get up when they have
to go to the to the down to the laboratory.
That works great too, but you know, yeah, something Look
when Elizabeth Taylor used to fly, she'd buy every seat
in first class and just sit up there by herself.
So I guess it depends on what you want to do.

Speaker 1 (02:16:38):
Yeah, well that's me. Makes Elizabeth Taylor sound like, well,
I'm not even going to say it out loud. We
do have the FCCD.

Speaker 12 (02:16:43):
We've been a very very nice person.

Speaker 1 (02:16:44):
Maybe yeah whatever, Ellie, exclusive don't want to be bothered
with the common people. Jay Ratliff love having you on
board first right, that's right.

Speaker 12 (02:16:55):
Walking by him and talk to them.

Speaker 1 (02:16:56):
Yeah, and the best of luck with your trading week,
my friend and I will look forward to having another
discussion with you next Thursday. Man, best of health and
loved you and your better half.
