Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Five o five, a fifty five k r C DE
talktation efy Wednesday, will.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Vacation call Kenny Loggins because you're in the danger zone.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Perhaps and we're happy Wednesday to you. Brian Thomas right here,
Glad to see dress. Jreckcorry belongs in the Executi Producer
booth and looking forward to of course seven oh five
because on Wednesdays seven o five we could talk to
Jack Athen and the big picture with Jack Athen is
what we call it, and today should be a fun conversation.
Always is brilliant. A history of useful idiots. Can't wait

(01:01):
for that one. Americans for Prosperity donaldil joins the program
at seven thirty, as he is inclined to do on Wednesdays.
At seven thirty one Small step campaign. We'll learn about
what that is and what it means and what we
can do to help, and we'll get an update on
de Wine's vetos. Americans for Prosperity working hard to override
the property tax related vetos from Governor to Wine. Anyhow,

(01:24):
go ahead and try to make some sense out of
Governor to Wine. Good luck on that one. Congressman Thomas
Massey was the return of Congressman Massy eight oh five
or Thomas Massey will talk primat we'll talk prep Repeal
Act and Epstein Transparency Act. Yeah, he's pushing to get
the Epstein files released and exactly working with Representative Rocanna California.

(01:47):
Not exactly a conservative amount of Guy Rocanna. Anyway, they
introduced a bipartisan bill that would require the release of
all the files related to Jeffrey Epstein within thirty days,
and there was a procedural vote the other day on
that one. It got shot down. We'll talk with Congressom
Massy on why he wants those released and what he
believes might be in them. A lot of swirling controversy

(02:08):
about that, so it should be a good conversation with
Congress Massy. Sadly no Judge ended Apolitana today because he
is on vacation. That's okay, we'll get it back in
a week from next Wednesday. Five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three
talko with Pound five fifty on eighteen and T phones.
If you like to hear the direction of the conversation

(02:31):
or have something you want to comment on, please feel
free I talked to yesterday with Nick Gilberts and Capitol
Hill reporter, and I talked a little bit about how
this Biden Autopen issue might actually make its way into
the court. So my suggestion was, you know, at first,
you need a justiciable controversy to be in a court.
So how does one get a case in front of

(02:54):
a court who would then get to determine whether or
not Joe biden executive orders signed by Autopen were actually
legitimate or they can be thrown out. Now, the swirling
controversy is that Joe Biden did not personally approve specific
pardons or commutations, most notably in connection with doctor Anthony

(03:18):
Fauci for example. Now if he had no knowledge of it,
the outo him was used, then you know, obviously you
can make a good argument that the pardon, the waiver,
whatever you want to call it, is invalid. It doesn't
meet the criteria for the presidential pardon. Understood, But how
do you get that in front of a court? Well,
and I suggest that Rand Paul could do it because

(03:39):
he wants to prosecute Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress. Now,
if he brings that back up, which he apparently is
going to do. Then it seems logical and reasonable that
Fauci would hold up his pardon and say, I've got
a peremptory pardon here. I'm free of all the responsibility
liability for anything I did or did not do during
my tenure as the Grand poobab all things medical. And

(04:06):
then the retort will be no, that is in an
invalid pardon, and then you present evidence to the court
on why it isn't valid. There's your mechanism right there.
And Senator Paul now doubling down in his effort to
hold National Institute Allergy and Infectious Diseases Chief Anthony Fauci accountable,
renewing his referral of doctor Fauci to the Department of

(04:28):
Justice that will could result in potential criminal prosecution should
the Department of Justice take up this cause. The release
from the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs earlier
this week Monday specifically detailed this update, which follows the
revelation that Fauci was given a presidential pardon by former
President Joe Biden via auto pen. There's your controversy. It's

(04:54):
unknown if Biden actually authorized the pardon. Then if he didn't,
it maybe invalid. Now this on the heels of the
New York Times revelation that he did not individually review
many of the pardons issued. Question is whether he specifically
authorized that. So we don't know, but that has to
be found out, and it would presumably be found out

(05:15):
during discovery or some other investigation which are currently going
on behind the scenes, looking at emails, looking at discussions,
looking at records times meetings were had when the executive
autopen was used, that kind of thing. So the evidentiary
trail currently being accumulated. Paul's original criminal referral centered around
his accusation that Fauci lied about the National Institute of

(05:38):
Health funding gain of function research in Wuhan. Paul wrote
in a letter in response to my question at the
eleven one hearing, doctor Fauci testified quote the NIH has
not ever and does not now fund gain of funtion
research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology close quote. And

(05:58):
a subsequent hearing and Fauci the criminal implications of ying
to Congress offered him an opportunity to recant his previous statements.
In response, stated that he had quote never lied before
to the Congress close quote end quote did not retract
this statement. July thirteen, twenty three, House Select Committee on
the Coronavirus Pandemic released and emails sent by Fauci in

(06:21):
February of twenty regard a conference call concerning the origins
of COVID nineteen, which included doctor Fauci, doctor Francis Colin,
and several scientific researches. In the email, doctor Fauci acknowledges
concerns that COVID nineteen may have been genetically engineered due
to the fact that gain of function research was occurring

(06:41):
in Wuhan before the pandemic. Doctor Fauci wrote, quote his
words his email, scientists in Wuhan University you are known
to have been working on gain of function experiments to
determine that molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to
human infection and the outbreak originated in Wuhan. Close quote

(07:01):
Now can you reconcile that statement with his lies to
Congress that they were not doing and did not do,
gain of function research. This email was sent a year
before his first testimony. Paul's letter says new information has
revealed that these pardons were executed via autopen with no
documented confirmation that the President personally reviewed or approved each

(07:24):
individual grant of clemency. According to reports, White House staff
authorized the use of autopen to issue the clemency documents.
This raises serious constitutional and legal concerns about the legitimacy
of doctor Fauci's pardon. There's your mechanism. No, if Paul

(07:45):
moves forward, the Department of Justice under the current administration
probably more likely to move forward with criminal allegations against
doctor Fauci for lying to Congress. It is very likely
that we will have a justicial controversy regarding the autopen. Now.
I think it would only involve the decision or maybe

(08:08):
lack thereof, of Biden to pardon Fauci peremptorily. It wouldn't
extend out to all of the other areas of pardons
because we're only talking about doctor Fauci and the pardon
related to doctor Fauci. Now. I don't know how you
get the other auto pen uses in front of a court.

(08:29):
There could be other mechanisms. I grant you that maybe
the Department of Justice on its own goes after some
of these released folks. I don't know, but at least
this one would cause the whole issue to see the
light of day and a court decision. So keep your
popcorn out on that. It should be rather interesting and

(08:52):
how much could be. One of my listeners, Marines keeps
going back and forth about the presidency being stolen, twenty
twenty election was rigged, And we've gone back and forth
on this since the controversy first arose. That would of
course been the twenty twenty election, and she kept suggesting
that it will be overturned, and we've had this continuing

(09:15):
dialogue back and forth, and you know, now she's suggesting
that all these executive actions and other auto pen uses
would result in them being overturned. How can you unring
the bell? Has been my ongoing question of four years
of a presidency that's already coming past. I mean, if
you believe the idea that the election was stolen and

(09:39):
that was proven, let's just say it made it into
the courts or was otherwise proven, that twenty twenty was stolen,
Donald Trump actually won, how do you account for that?
Can you unring the bell of four years of a presidency?
Would you void all legislation that was passed during that?
For example, Inflation Reduction Act, which was nothing but the

(10:00):
new Deal. Can you unring that bell? It's already in place,
It's in law. We've been living with it now since
what twenty twenty one. It's just I just can't see
it ever happening. But insofar as individual pardons are concerned,
if it doesn't meet it doesn't pass the smell test.
If Joe Biden didn't actually sign or authorize the pardon,

(10:25):
then that will be the easy fix. It's as if
it didn't exist. Those people are no longer pardon, their
sentences are no longer commuted. The world can move on,
and we can bring doctor Fauci in court for lying
to Congress. Oh, feel free to call. I got plenty

(10:47):
to talk about this morning, Just a hodgepodge of different
things and the twenty worst jobs to have during the
heat wave that we're experiencing right now. That's one topic
of your conversation which will allow us to springboard over
into the wonderful reality of being a Los Angeles lifeguard.

(11:08):
Your mind will be blown on this one, five sixteen
right now, be right back after these brief words.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Fifty five KRC the talk station. Did you know even
the smallest.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
HEARCD talk station it is five twenty five krs dot
comedy can't listen live. Daniel Davis d dive. Neither he
nor I believe there's gonna anything's gonna come from the
shipments of more missiles and armaments to Ukraine, and the

(11:39):
sanctions probably won't bring Russia to the table. They're list
of demands as well known. Joking with Daniel Davis about
that he drew a poker analogy where you have like
a like a pair of twos in your hand, and
you believe the guy across the table's got at least
two face guards, and you keep betting more and more
and more, endeavoring to bluff that the Ukraine. I said, no,

(12:02):
the analogy is morekin to having a poker hand like that,
except that the cards are up and both sides can
see what the other side's got. Russia has a list
of demands it wants, specific things, that has never wavered
or backed off from what it wants in order to
bring about a settlement of that bloody conflict. Ukraine kind

(12:23):
of living in a state of denial. The armed forces
are reduced in overall numbers. They don't have people to
fire the weapons anymore. They lose more and more land.
They're victims and attacked by these like hundreds and hundreds
of drone strikes Russia's seemingly endless supply of weapons. Anyway,
Just Tracker found a list of the twenty worst jobs

(12:43):
to have during a heat wave. Since we're experiencing a
heat wave, lucky you BEU. Number one my future son
in law, Eric on the roofing repair work you need.
They do great work. I'm not biased. I've been book
for Fast and prolong before Eric joined their employe. But

(13:04):
he's a good kid, knows what he's doing. He's been
the roofing business since his college days. But it sucks
to be a roofer, obviously. I always ask him when
he comes in the house because he stops almost every
day since Fast and Pro Roofing is located in Loveland,
very close to where we live, and he always drops
off through dog Dahlly so we can grand puppy sit.

(13:26):
So how was it out there today? God so roof
for Number one. Construction worker, roadpaver, landscaper, grounds keeper coming.
Number five farm worker long hours and direct sunlight firefighter yes,
warehouse worker in a non climate controlled environment. Delivery driver

(13:48):
with no air conditioning. Does that exist? Garbage collector? You know,
God bless the garbage collector, an opportunity for me to
sing their praises. What would we do without our garbage collectors?
Don't that asphalt wine painter, theme park worker in a costume,
they'd be like a mascot. Yeah, that would suck. Mover

(14:09):
chef in an on air conditioned kitchen, window washer and
a high rise building with the sunlight reflecting off the
glass that apparently is hot mail carrier, amen, bike courier,
roof top, HVAC installer fixing other people's ac and the
blazing sun. Traffic cop, lifeguard no umbrella, and a roadkill

(14:30):
removal technician coming in at number twenty. The lifeguard one, though,
allows me to springboard over into the bat crap and
sandy going on in Los Angeles specifically these salaries, according
to Open the Books watchdog group found the total compensation
for one hundred and thirty four of the county's fifteen
hundred lifeguards seventy point eight million dollars last year. Of

(14:54):
that total, thirty four of the lifeguards. Lifeguards earned three
hundre thousand dollars or more. Lifeguard chief Fernando bug Hu
top earner five hundred and twenty three thousand, three hundred

(15:14):
and fifty one dollars in compensation, a significant increase from
twenty twenty one. When opened the books. To the study
of this finding, ninety eight lifeguards earn at least two
hundred thousand dollars including benefits, base pay, time off, healthcare benefits.
Overtime pay happens to be the major contributor to the
lifeguard's compensation package. Open the Books found that forty five

(15:37):
of the one hundred and thirty four lifeguards collected between
fifty and one hundred and seventy one thousand dollars in
overtime payments alone. That's on top of the already overpaid salary.
A top overtime earner guy named Remy Smith, received one
hundred and seventy one thousand dollars in overtime, earning a

(15:57):
total of four hundred and sixty eight thousand, five hundred
plus dollars in compensation. They also get a generous pension
plan allowing them to retire after thirty years and receive
more than seventy percent of their annual pay. And if
you're making four hundred thousand dollars. That's a healthy pension plan,

(16:20):
wouldn't you say? Compared to the rest of the country,
Like you look at Miami Beach, for example, the average
lifeguard theyre earned sixty five thousand and change annually. Highest
reported salary only ninety six thousand dollars in Miami. And

(16:42):
of course the Los Angeles County ocean lifeguards earn more
than other lifeguards. Lake and pool lifeguards employed by the
cities Parking Recreation Department make a lot less, accord to
open the books, the highest paid pool lifeguard sixty five
thousand dollars fifty three thousand total play plus thirteen thousand

(17:03):
in benefits. Can you imagine that? I mean, I was
a lifeguard at you know, at the club pool. I mean,
I know it's just a swimming pool, but it's really
not that difficult a job. They do save a lot
of people. Apparently, seventy eight nine and fifty one people
across the country were saved, according to the US Life

(17:25):
Saving Association. That's across the entire country. I'm not quite
sure how many times the beach lifeguards in California have
to get out of their chair and stop flirting with
women to rescue someone. But I'll tell you what, I'd
be willing to take that job for five hundred and
thirty twenty three thousand dollars. That's just not right. Five

(17:46):
twenty sixty five K see the talk station local stories
or phone calls. Either way you want to go, be
right back after these words.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Fifty five KRC get into summer without.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Thirty Happy Wednesday, five one three, hit an ET three
talk o time five fifty if give an AT and
T phone, where in the hell's tom this morning? Got
Pat on the line pad, thanks for calling this morning.
Happydesday to you, insane to you, Brian.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
I just wanted to give people, if they think about it.
In the summer, I always try to watch for the
meal man or the meal girls and give them water
because they're walking in they're an unheated or cooled trucks.
And also my Mount Rumky guys, who I dearly love,
I have.

Speaker 7 (18:31):
The best on my street.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
I give them cold water so that you know they
got something to drink in between. So but anyway, if
you can think about it, give them cold water.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
But anyway, Brian, you have a nice day, honey, and
pray for everybody.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Thank you very much. Pat, you do the same, and
thank you for looking out for those people out in
the heat. Yeah, you got to take care of your
fellow man. That's a nice, beautiful gesture. They maybe they
have their own water, but you know what, isn't it.
It's a wonderful thing that someone would be thinking about you.
They care enough for you enough they're going to come
out there and just and maybe you need the water,
but maybe you don't, but you know what, someone offering

(19:10):
it that can really make a day. One little tiny
gesture like that, no skin off your back, but it's
a beautiful thing to do and consider. So look for
life's little miracles wherever you have to find him. Anyhow,
we go over to the local stories here. You got
a woman from Hamilton, Ohio, died on Monday in an
afternoon crash happened to Ripley County, Indiana. Darla Tabor, sixty eight,

(19:33):
from Hamilton, died in the Cincinni area hospital following the wreck,
according to the Indiana State Police. State Police trooper said
Tabor was eastbound on I seventy four lost control of
her Mercury at around two thirty pm. Car went off
the road and overturned. She was taken to the hospital
and pronounced dead by the Hamilton County Corner's Office. While
the wreck's still an investigations, State police say a medical

(19:55):
condition man played a role in the crash. Apparently, this
woman was also not to properly restrained in the in
the vehicle, which likely contributed to the injuries. That's according
to the release from the police buckle up. Missing autistic
child was found dead in Dayton, leading to the rest

(20:16):
of the child's mom and another man in connection with
the case, accorded Daton Police Chief Cameron Afzol. In a
statement on Monday, Chief Avsall said Ashley Johnson and Herschel
creach Baum's biological mom, and a man named Michael Kendrick
booked into the Montgomery County jail and facing several charges.

(20:36):
Records show the Johnson's facing charges of obstruction of justice
and failure to report death, Kendrick facing tampering with evidence
and abuse of a corpse. Chiefs said these are preliminary charges.
Chief said that on Saturday, officers are called in around
three point thirty in the morning to his Xenia Avenue
for reports of a missing child. Investigation unfolded folded later

(20:57):
determined that Creachbaum had been missing for weeks. Chief said
at that point investigation turned into a potential homicide investigation.
It was then determined that Creechbomb was not missing, but
in fact had been dead for weeks. Chief Avsou said
investigators were led a few blocks from Xenia Avenue to
McClure and US thirty five, where the remains were located.

(21:20):
Cause of death still under investigation. Jeyes adults in Ohio
are going to need more driving training to get a
driver's license. WCPO reporting Morgan trou again doing the reporting
on this one. They looked at ten driving schools in
the area. Each one had a price tag more than

(21:41):
four hundred dollars for the classes. That's not a problem
for government, Wine said, the cost of the classes that
you will now have to take are worth it. On Ohio,
sixteen and seventeen year olds have to complete twenty four
hours in a classroom eight with a driving instructor. Must
also complete fifty hours of driving practice monitored by an
adult over twenty one, and now folks over eighteen are

(22:02):
going to have to do the same thing. So under
current law, eighteen year olds and older. All they have
to do is simply apply for a license and don't
have to go through the training requirements. But in this
beginning in September, at the end of September, drivers under
twenty one are now going to be required to complete
the same training that miners do. Governor Win said, we

(22:26):
have so many young people turning eighteen never taking drivers training,
and they go in and ultimately, sometimes after many failures,
pass not acceptable. Now some members in the Ohio Chamber
of Commerce concerned that, well, this is going to be
a difficult thing for eighteen to twenty year olds. They
could be bumped out of the job market. Chamber of Commerce,

(22:47):
as Tony Long said, one of the hardest things for
the workforce is finding adequate transportations, so this adds to that.
So we're trying to fight as much workforce as we can.
You start to thinking about certain industries, these folks that
need summer jobs. You think about restaurants, it's about hospitality,
and I think this is a trickle down kind of
effect on the economy. In other words, you're putting a
roadblock in the way of an eighteen to twenty year

(23:07):
old getting into work. Well, if the eighteen to twenty
year old can't drive a car, it could be a
danger to society. Lord knows, got enough problems on the
roads are already, So I'm not much for mandates, edicts
and dick todds from government. Y'all know that, But has

(23:27):
anybody else noted it seems to be the roadways are
a hell of a lot more dangerous than they used
to be. A fun thirty five fifty five care see
the talk station, stick around more to come, stack as
stupid Unless I get phone calls either way you want
to go, it'say, okay with me, I'll be right back.

my wife who streams the show from her smartphone, and

(25:24):
of course podcasts there. Kevin Farmer. I really enjoyed talking
with Kevin. He's running for SINCEI City Council. What an
contagiously enthusiastic guy. Well you can't help but like him,
Uh say, we want substantially what he was substantively about
what he had to say. Uh, he politics transformed his life.
I think that was rather amazing. A bit of a

(25:45):
troubled youth, but turn things around, doing really well as
an independent businessman and as running as a Republican, which
is unusual in the city of Cincinnati, as a black
man running as a Republican. I've embraced the idea and
encourage more and more folks to consider the conservative side
of the political argument. Over to the local stories, craze

(26:07):
driver in downtown Los Angeles realized it was a bad
idea taking machete to a gunfight. Local news KABC reported
that officers on Sunday morning responded to Figiora Street after
hearing reports of an assault with a deadly weapon. Police said,
the man flashing a huge machete and people at people

(26:28):
and chanting. Once the police showed up, man decided to
charge at the police. They showed some restraint. Witnesses captured
video was showing what happened next. The man got into
a black Dodge Challenger, led the police on a short chase,
then started driving around the officers in a circles and

(26:49):
actually ran into one of the patrol vehicles before coming
to a stop. The guy then got out of the car,
holding the machete and charges toward the police officers. Police
officers did not exercise restraint as the man ran toward them.
Two officers fired their weapons in self defense, bringing the

(27:10):
man down. LAPD Detective Megan Aguilar, speaking with local news
about the incident, revealed the man was sent to the
hospital and he is in critical condition. Quote. He was
still armed with the machete and charged toward officers again,
this time resulting in an officer involved shooting. The suspect
was struck by gunfire taking the local hospital where he's
in critical condition of receiving medical care. She defended the

(27:33):
officer's common sense actions, pointing out how dangerous the suspect's
weapon was. You can only give so many warnings, and
each officer has to make a decision based upon their
training and their experience when they constitute using deadly force
in regards to whether it's a handgun or an edged weapon. Again,
this was a very large machete. The behaviors of the

(27:54):
individual were very aggressive and violent.

Speaker 9 (27:58):
Idiots doing idiot because they're idiots.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Amen to that. Okay, Go to Florida A a guy
there who cops believed was stabbed in a drug dispute,
was in surgery when a nurse discovered a glass crack pipe,

(28:22):
a lighter, and tinfoil containing cocaine. Where do you think
they found it? Joe wrecked them nearly killed him in
his rectum. What the what is described as surprising fine

(28:43):
occurred earlier than went to Saint Petersburg Bay Front Hospital
where Michael O'Neill, forty three, had been transported for a
knifephon court. To the statement, the arrest Affadavid Well in
surgery and r N located the stashed items. After being
hospitalized for his in O'Neill was booked into jail for
cocaine possession, felony and a possession of drug paraphernalia, which

(29:06):
is a misdemeanor. Released from the custody after posting a
fifty five hundred dollars bond. He's pleaded not guilty to
the charges. It wasn't mine. I don't know how it
got there.

Speaker 10 (29:18):
What means?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Can imagine being his lawyer and have to make that
argument in court on his behalf what your honor? My
client has no idea how a glass crackpipe, a lighter
and tinfoil with cocaine in it ended up being lodged
in his rectum. He has been previously convicted at EUI

(29:44):
numerous drug related accounts, including possession of cocaine, shocking, methamphetamine, fentyl,
and narcotics paraphernalia. Pleaded guilty last year to drug possession
after a jail strip search turned up two baggies containing
fentanyl and a crack rocks hidden yes in his ox area.

Batter's Intervention program close quote during a change of plea
hearing it from earlier in the month, Alison Swan agreed
to withdraw her previous not guilty plead and enter domestic
violence diversion program that, if successfully completed, can result in
the dismissal the misdemeanor case. Swan, described as a thirty

(32:11):
nine year old nurse, also ordered to pay eight hundred
and seventy five bucks in costs. Judge at barred Swan
from hav any contact with the forty year old victim,
who Swan filed to divorce a week after the May
third arrest. Defendant is also prohibited from possessing firearms, ammunition,
or controlled substances please say. Swan's wife, who's also a nurse,

(32:36):
was quote making nachos with nacho cheese in the kitchen
close qual at about three am, when Swan told her
she shouldn't be eating this late and made a comment
about her weight. Uh, it's going downhill from there right.
An argument followed. Swan approached her wife, grabbed a handful

(32:58):
of cheesy nachos and shoved them down the back of
the victim's leggings. She also allegedly slammed the victim's head
on the floor and shoved her fingers into either side
of her mouth and hooked them like a fish. That's
a quote from the arrest report. When officers showed up
at Port Saint Lucian resident, they spotted the two yellow

(33:19):
smears resembling nacho cheese on a wall. An examination of
the victims leggings revealed what appeared to be nacho cheese
on the interior backside, consistent with her story. Oh, you
say that ruins the perfectly good nachos. Apparently ruined the
marriage too.

Speaker 11 (33:40):
You know.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Marriage is overrated, you say, Well, that's coming from an
expert on the topic Joe Stackering sects to think I
five care see Barty show. It's worked out okay for me.
I just I have to interject that because my wife
is listening. Man in Florida dead after officials say a
deputy ran him over while he was lying on the

(34:09):
ground in the dark parking lot early Monday morning. Gilcrest
County Sheriff's Office in Florida Highway Patrol said the deputy
was patrolling near the Capital City Bank about one am.
Official said the pedestrian was a forty one year old
from Bronson who was lying in a dark part of
the parking lot. Why are you doing that? I had

(34:31):
no idea. As the deputy drove through the parking lot,
he didn't see the man lying on the ground and
hit him. Nearby residence said homeless people often sleep near
the bank at night. Resident Jeff Johnson quoted a saying
it's hard to believe. It's truly hard to believe that
a man was lying there, passed out and the cop
runs him over. I don't understand that. How did he

(34:52):
do that? Well, it's because the guy's laying in the
middle of a parking lot where he shouldn't be laying
Who he expects somebody to be laying in the middle
of a parking lot in the middle of the night,
He asked.

Speaker 9 (35:04):
Rhetorically, Now, who can argue with that?

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Officials haven't clarified exactly where the parking lot. Where in
the parking lot the pedestrian was hit. Residents have noted
that there are lights in the area. Fishers have yet
to clarified exactly where the parking lot the pedestrian was hit.
That's a repeat sentence in the article strange one other resident.
Things like that don't happen here too often, so I'm

(35:28):
sure he's gonna have to be held accountable. Well, it
would be rather odd if it was a regularly occurring event,
wouldn't it. Florida Highway troopers are investigating the cause of
the crash, and we go to Germany, where customs authorities
recently made a discovery finding about fifteen hundred young tarantulas

(35:55):
in a shipment of sponge cake boxes. Packets should have
a Germany's clowned on airport three weeks ago from Vietnam.
Weighed more than fifteen pounds, and they say had a
noticeable smell, which is what tipped off officials. According to
Josh Ashland, spokesperson for the Clone Customs Office, my colleagues
at the airport are regularly surprised by the contents of
prohibited packages from all over the world, but the fact

(36:16):
they found around fifteen hundred small plastic containers containing young
tarantulas in this package left even the most experienced among
them speechless.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
What wrong with German people?

Speaker 3 (36:29):
What Vietnam? Vietnamese people? I believe came from Vietnam. Many
of the transelor's dad surviving ones placed in professional care.

wait to hear what Jack has to say about that.
Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity, He's on at

(37:50):
about that together. Willlso to get an update on the
efforts to overturn Mike DeWine's vetos related to the property
tax issues in the budget eighth five couple hours from now,
Congressman Thomas Massey talk about the Prime Act, the prep
Repetal Act, and the Epstein Transparency Act. Of course, the
floria of activity related to the efforts to release the

(38:11):
Epstein files. Representative Rocanna out of California, along with Congressman Massy,
introduced a bipartisan bill that will require releasing all files
related to Epstein within thirty days, resolutions that the files
cannot be withheld, delayed, or redacted should they cause embarrassment,
reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including any government official, public

(38:31):
official official, or foreign dignitary. So no hiding behind that
the records must be released. Question is whether there'll be
a bipartisan agreement with that effort. I know they forced
the Floria vote just yesterday and releasing the Epstein files.
It was voted down along party lines twenty eleven to

(38:52):
twenty ten Republicans with the exception of one uniformly against
that effort. This is a separate one, I do believe.
So I don't know what you think about the Epstein files.
I'm starting to kind of believe there's probably much ado
about nothing in the final analysis, which in my mind
suggests you should just go ahead and release them now.

(39:13):
Interestingly enough, timing couldn't be better. Alan Dershowitz wrote an
open letter in the Wall Street Journal the Inside Scoop
on Jeffrey Epstein, subtitled I was his lawyer. I know
things that court orders won't allow me to disclose, And
in this he provides a coherent analysis of why he
really doesn't think anything's there, but ultimately that you and

(39:36):
I should determine whether or not there is anything. He said.
I was Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer. I know the facts, some
of which I can't disclose because it's privileged or subject
to court imposed sealing orders. But what I can disclose
makes several important things clear. Epstein never created a quote
client list close quote. The FBI interviewed alleged victims whose

(39:59):
name who named several clients. These names have been redacted.
They should be disclosed, but the courts have ordered them sealed.
I know who they are. They don't include any current
office holders. We don't know whether the accusations are true.
The courts have also sealed negative information about some of
the accusers to protect them. Neither the Justice Department nor

(40:22):
private defense lawyers are free to disregard court sealing orders.
The media can and should petition the courts for the
release of all names and information so the public can
draw its own conclusions. There also has been speculation about
incriminating videos taken by hidden cameras in Epstein's guest bedrooms.

(40:43):
There are videotapes, but they are of public areas of
his Palm Beach, Florida home, Epstein reported the theft of
money in a licensed firearm from a drawer in his
living room. So the police have sought a video camera.
I Alan Derschwitz am not aware of video cameras in
guest bedrooms. Open records show an acquaintance between Epstein and

(41:06):
mister Trump many years ago. That relationship ended when Trump
reportedly banned Epstein from marl Lago, long before becoming president.
I have seen nothing that would suggest anything improper or
even questionable by mister Trump. It's clear from the evidence
that Epstein committed suicide. What isn't clear is whether he
was assisted by jail personnel. That seems likely to me

(41:31):
based on the evidence of allegedly broken cameras, transfer of
his cellmate, and the absence of guards during relevant time periods.
That's interesting, isn't it. I have absolutely no doubt that
Epstein never worked for any intelligence agency. This is one
of the more interesting components I know. A Tucker Carlson
has claimed that maybe he was a most sad operative,

(41:54):
So he's trying to Drschwitz, trying to burst that bubble.
If he had work for an intelligen legence agency, he
would surely have told me and his other lawyers, who
would have used that information to get him a better deal. Parenthetical,
he wasn't satisfied with the so called sweetheart deal he got,
which required him to spend one and a half years

(42:14):
in a local jail and register as a sex offender.
Close Brent my Alan Dershwood sources in Israel have confirmed
to me that he had no connection to Israeli intelligence.
That false story reportedly pedaled by Tucker Carlson probably emanated
from credible allegations that Robert Maxwell, who died in nineteen

(42:35):
ninety one, the father of Epstein's former girlfriend is Lane Maxwell,
worked with the Masade. That's how the I guess dots
were connected to suggest that somehow, she, Islane Maxwell, or
perhaps my Epstein had worked with the Masad. It's a
plausible explanation for that from Dershwood's Conspiracy stories attract reader's,

(42:59):
viewers and listeners. They are also fodder for political attacks.
The Epstein cases generated more than a share of such theories,
and there is nothing more annoying to gossipmongers than when
stubborn facts or the absence of facts, gets in the
way of juicy theory. Sorry to disappoint you, but there
is really nothing much to see here. We are and
what's already been disclosed again Alan Drshchwitzeityer attorney for Epstein

(43:23):
at some point now obviously plausible explanations for everything. But
in the final analysis, what does he really conclude that
you and I should be able to evaluate this for ourselves.
We have been lied to over and over and over again.
You don't have to go very far to remember the
lies against Donald Trump. I mean, they are just so
blatant and obvious. Whole Russian collusion is just one of

(43:45):
a multitude of lies that we were told by our
elected officials and people behind the scenes in the deep state.
We have no longer any trust in these previously trustworthy institutions,
the FBI, the Department of Justice, weaponization of those departments
to go after Trump and others that were aligned with
Trump's interest. I mean, this is why the conservative side

(44:07):
of the Ledger, this is why everyone's screaming and clamoring
to give us these Epstein files, Because Donald Trump and
others on that side of the Ledger have been claiming
for a long time some of the conspiracy theories that
epps are that Dershowitz addressed in his points this morning.
Many times it's on my desk referring to the so

(44:30):
called client list. We heard that from Bonding in Wait
a second, how can you say that and then come
back later and say there is no client list. Obviously
we're gonna have some concerns. It's right there, so go
ahead and give us the damn information. I'm not talking
about videos of child porn. Nobody wants to see that.

(44:52):
If you do want to see it, then you need
some serious help. And I hope you end up in
jail if you're viewing that kind of thing. But in
so far as people who interactions with Epstein, I mean,
this is reality, you know, lifestyles of the rich and famous.
Sometimes you're gonna get good pressed and sometimes you're gonna
get bad. You'll have an opportunity to explain yourself. And
if there's nothing, there's no there there, then there's no

(45:14):
there there. You have nothing to worry about. But there
are so many victims who've been alluded to and identified
the young girls that Epstein abused and that others abused
that has been often reported. We are aware of at
least the allegations. Where are the prosecutions for that? We're

(45:38):
entitled to see justice on behalf of those young ladies,
are we not? So let's just put a stake in
the heart of this whole thing. Let's just go ahead
and give us the information subject to whatever you know
restrictions that are gonna be subject to, and then we
can move away from this. Would you be happy with that?

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Six nineteen to fifty goot KERCD talk station. My friend
Eric was a little worried. I said everything I heard
the files Epstein files include hundreds of hours and thousands
of thousands of pictures of underage children. He said. He's
also heard the concern is that the wording in Rocan
and Thomas Massey's bill makes it a poisoned pill because
it might cause the release of that. No, it does not.

(48:56):
It specifically says permitted with holdings. The AG withhold or
redax segregable portions of the records that include personally identifiable
information of victims or victims, personnel, medical files, anything that
depicts or contains child sexual abuse, materials that woul jeopardize
federal investigator or ongoing prosecution, et cetera, et cetera. So

(49:21):
anything depicting, it depicts, or contains images of death, physical abuse,
or injury of any person, all these can be withheld
under the legislation. So, uh, not a concern there. Actually
they've dealt with that us something completely unrelated. You know me,
no fan of EV's now. I'm a fan of EV's

(49:42):
in a general sense. I don't want to own one.
I don't believe in them. I hate edicts and mandates.
They try to dangle carrot and have incentive to get
you to do something you otherwise wouldn't do. I believe
in the idea of choice. If I can value the
EV and weigh it's against the internal combustion engine car,
and an EV comes out on top because of a
amazing technology, Because I want a car that drives itself

(50:02):
as opposed to one that I drive. Whatever the reason,
then I'll pick it. Choice. Isn't it a beautiful thing?
But because of the Cafe standards and California is getting
a waiver from them and shoving the ridiculous mandates for
electric vehicles by a certain date randomly selected, we all

(50:26):
end up getting pushed in that direction. But no more
new administration, new sheriff in town, and of course eyes
are being opened in the automobile manufacturing world. Why because
internal combustion engines are still available and they're still far
more popular than electric vehicles. So, ignoring California, ignoring Cafe standards,
manufacturers have to give people what they want in order

(50:47):
to maintain profitability. They're losing tons of money on electric
vehicles because no one really wants them. And another domino following,
General Motors has announced plans to expand, not reduce, expand
production of gas powered vehicles and SUVs in Michigan, as

(51:12):
well as manufacturing pickup trucks. Jim said in Stavin yesterday
that it will begin production of the Cadillac Escalate as
well as the Chevrolet Silverado no small ones there and
the Gmcerra light duty pickup trucks at Orion Assembly as
early as twenty twenty seven, in their words, to help
meet continued strong customer demand Escalae producing Arlington, Texas, Silverado

(51:39):
and the Sierra Fort Wayne, Indiana American manufacturers. This move
builds on GM's plan to invest four billion dollars in
US facilities after Trump earlier this year implemented a twenty
five percent tarifun imported vehicle and a twenty five percent

(52:00):
studio of many autoparts imported into the United States. Now
is Trump accomplishing something there? I keep hearing tariff's evil.
But if a way to get around a tariff is
to increase American manufacturing, isn't that something that is a
desired result. That's something he campaigned on and it's actually
working this move. This announcement builds also on the a

(52:28):
GM's gas powered vehicle production now Back in twenty twenty,
once GM CEO Mary Barrow said that the company would
exclusively offer evs by twenty twenty three, citing carbon emissions
for general motors. Our most significant carbon impact comes from
trial pale pipe emissions of the vehicles that we sell.
In our case, it's seventy five percent. That's why it's

(52:49):
so important that we accelerate toward a future in which
every vehicle we sell is zero missions vehicle fast Already yesterday,
that's not the direction they're going. Dane Parker's chief sustainability officer,
also in twenty twenty one, when I Guess green was

(53:10):
all still in vogue, we feel this is going to
be the successful business model in the future. We know
they're hurdles, we know their technology challenges, but we're confident
that with the resources we have and the expertise we have,
that will overcome those challenges, and this will be the
business model that we'll be able to thrive in the future.
And the hype is dwindling, CNBC reported now the hype

(53:38):
is dwindling. Companies again cheering consumer choice. Automakers from Ford Motor,
General Motors, Mercedes, Benz, Volkswagen, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Aston
Martin scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans. Why
you don't want them going back to my T shirt.

ste You hang on a second to get your call next. Jay,
Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Wednesday to you, sir,
y Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 13 (57:12):
Brian, Hey, I heard you talking about the cafe standards
and this has been driving me crazy. The cafe standards
were put into place with the stroke of a pen
during the Carter administration, along with the creation of the
e PA carbon dioxide as a pollutant and all the
discussion about carbon being a pollutant was a stroke of
a pen during the Obama administration. Yep, we are now

(57:34):
into the seventh month of the Trump administration. We celebrated
Leezelden is now the head of the e PA.

Speaker 7 (57:40):
We in Ohio do.

Speaker 13 (57:41):
Have automotive plants recording, including a beautiful Forard plant down
in Sharonville that makes s u V transmissions. And when
is Lee lee Velden going to get the pen out
at the behest of Donald Trump and end the cafe
standards so that we could give an economic boost to
our domestic automakers and be done with it.

Speaker 7 (58:05):
And after he's done.

Speaker 13 (58:06):
With that, shut down the EPA leads out and then
turn off the lights.

Speaker 7 (58:09):
What are we waiting for?

Speaker 13 (58:10):
Are we just going to were we going to carry
this forward into yet another Republican administration or hand it
back to the Democrats.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
It's a legitimate point, Jay, I couldn't agree with you
more on that. And why do we really even need
cafe standards? Those were an effort to force the autobile
industry to increase the miles per gallon in the cars. Right, fine, Okay,
we used to make car I used to have a
seventy three Caprice Classic convertible convertible. I don't think that
thing would even fit in my garage. It was so
long and big and weighed thousands and thousands of pounds.

(58:36):
Do we really need to have cars like that? So
that kind of pushed the industry to start considering alternatives
to the massive vehicles we used to drive. But we
don't need it. Why because people are looking out for
the bottom line. The price of gas lean's gotten so expensive.
You're gonna want to look for a car that gets
better mileage. That's a decision. If you want to buy
a car that gets eight miles to the gown, knock

(58:56):
yourself out. If they want to offer a car that
gets nine miles of the gawn, r moles ago and
let him try to sell it. But we are entitled
to choices. There's no need for a cafe standard. I mean, period,
end the story agreed.

Speaker 13 (59:09):
And the economic impact to the domestic auto producers because
here's think about that. You have to produce small your
ford in your truck company. You have to produce a
fleet of small cars nobody's going to buy, which goes
on the inventory on your books that you have to
write off and give away, or your option to is
go buy carbon offset credits. Take your profit and give
it to Elon Musk and he'll give you carbon offset

(59:31):
credits created by the government as an incentive for Elon
to be able to sell something more than cars. Now
he's selling these carbon offset credits, telling the hell's Ford
and Chevy going to compete or are people with internal.

Speaker 7 (59:42):
Combustion and just going to compete with the eed manufacturers?

Speaker 3 (59:45):
So there shouldn't be there should be credits. There shouldn't
be offset credits. That's a that's economy created a whole cloth.
I mean I kind of draw a parallel between that
and crypto. It's like one day it's there, the next
day it's not. I mean, who gets the benefit of
carbon offsets? And if the idea is really to reduce
the amount of carbon in the environment an atmosphere, how
does paying money stop that from entering the atmosphere? The

(01:00:09):
answer is it doesn't. It just penalized for it.

Speaker 7 (01:00:12):
It's an al Gore idea. It was carrying forward.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
How much is that wearing forward?

Speaker 12 (01:00:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:00:18):
No kidding, so yes.

Speaker 13 (01:00:20):
Between al Gore, Obama and Jimmy Carter, there are three
really bad ideas crushing our domestic auto producers, and it
has lived to Reagan terms.

Speaker 7 (01:00:28):
It's in its second Trump term.

Speaker 13 (01:00:31):
Several Bushah turned the damn thing off and do it
now with leads.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Alvin. I applaud your advice there, Jay, I support it wholeheartedly.
He didn't call looking for an argument this morning. Good
to hear from you, man. Let's see what Steve Scott, Steve,
thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 14 (01:00:48):
Yes, sir, Before I get to what I was calling about,
my favorite is the carbon credits offset. Wall Street Journal
a couple of years ago did a great story on that.
It is land that was never going to be developed
because it's not economically feasible to develop it. And somebody
promises not to develop that land and they allow it.

(01:01:11):
This is the truth. And they allow companies or people
to dump as much carbon in the atmosphere as they
want to by giving them money to not develop this
green space that was never going to be developed. It's
the it does nothing, it's it's the it's the selling

(01:01:31):
of indulgences scam.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
It's scam scam in the world. But not why I called,
you know, honestly, you know, to that point, Stephen, I've
said it many times, and I'm sticking with it because
I firmly believe it. The entire climate change industry, and
it is an industry, is a whole cloth scam.

Speaker 14 (01:01:50):
Well, the reason, the reason they get away with it
is because of what you just said. The entire climate
change industry. Yes, they're pushing. They're pushing man made climate change.
That always gets dropped off of it. Our side is
too inarticulate to say, are you asking about climate change

(01:02:11):
or man made climate change? But our side, again, we've
got some of the most inarticulate people in the world
in the Republican Party. They can't. I mean, I feel
like I could debate people, and I'm you know, I'm
not a trained speaker. I'm not supposed to be in
front of people making a point. I feel like I
could do a better job than they do. But why

(01:02:33):
I called I'm gonna throw a couple of flowers at
you first to build up your ego A long time
ago or I don't know, six months ago, whatever. I
asked you the quirk in a bottle of wine bottle
versus a screw on cap versus a synthetic and you
reached out to Keegan immediately and responded to me. And

(01:02:56):
last week I did it with the Air India crash
and you you actually the next day talked to Jay
Ratliffe about it. Yeah, you said, I had somebody ask
about this. I appreciate you following up on things you
don't need to do that. It says a lot about
your character that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
No, listen, you're curious, and it's there were legitimate questions.
I mean, whether you like wine or not, that's one thing.
But Keithan Corkoran is one of the top tier soier's
in the world. It's an easy question to ask. And
I was curious about the answer to the question too.
So if you're curious and I'm curious, I figured it's
a worthwhile point to follow up on. I was happy
to follow up on the Air India thing because that
got pushed by the wayside with all the other headlines

(01:03:34):
making the news. And so, you know, who better to
ask than Jay Ratliffe. And so I did have you
in mind when I asked him the question. But I'm
happy to do that, and that's part of my job,
you know.

Speaker 14 (01:03:43):
Ten minutes into my phone call, here's why I called
the Epstein list again. Our sides in articulate. My hope
is that Pam Bondy meant to say we did not
find a list, but of course she's says there is
no list. You can say there is no list because

(01:04:05):
possibly it was destroyed. But again, we're too stupid to
be able to be coherent when we make a statement.
And I say we the side that I tend to
vote for. So I think there was a list. That's
how did this guy become a He wasn't a millionaire.
He was a multi multi millionaire worth hundreds of millions

(01:04:25):
of dollars. How to get all this money? He great
boief is he was blackmailing very very wealthy people. And
the story again, thank you for everything you do.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Happy to do it, Steve. I appreciate the compliments and
happy to follow up on things. But in so far
as a list, and we all think like the Little
Black Book, And here's Epstein, you pondering through im pouring
through his little Black book. Oh so, and so I
hooked him up with you know that fourteen year old.
I got the goods on him, I got a video
of him. Whatever, I'm going to use it to extore money. No,
maybe there wasn't maybe it's just people with whom he

(01:04:57):
interacted that he did arrange for and provide ah services
from these abused women. Now you don't have to put
it all in one single list to create a list
or otherwise have a list of people who were involved
in those activities. I mean it's a semantical argument, really,

(01:05:18):
But because of all the swirling controversy, the multitude of
conspiracy theories, how did he get to become so rich?
How is it that he hopknobbed all these wealthy people
and all these well connected people. What's the story on
pedophile Island? The guy was a convicted pedophile, for God's sake.
So there's so much fuel for the conspiracy fire out
there that the only way to put it out is
to just release the damned documents to the extent that

(01:05:41):
don't include child porn. Eric, Yeah, that's in that bill,
the row Conna Thomas Massey resolution. It would end it
and maybe we would all sit back and go, you
know what, after all that discussion, Actually there is no
there there. It was a twisted pervert. They hooked up
with the multimillionaires. Maybe we'll get that that provided by

(01:06:02):
way of explanation, I don't know. I don't know what's
in the documents, but I do know this controversy doesn't
need to be out there. That the very people who
fed the fuel of these conspiracy theories are now the
people that are saying there isn't anything there to release
other than child porn them, And I can release that.
That's really troubling right there. Six forty fifty five krc

the talk station lookstation. Very Happy Wednesday to you. Big
picture with Jack Atherton, subject matter a history of useful
idiots that'll be after the top of the air news.
I love hearing from Jack. Also, Americans for Prosperity Donovan,
and Neil returns as he does every Wednesday, at seven
thirty today, what is the one small Step campaign? Finally,
and also I will get an update on AFP's efforts, along

(01:10:03):
with others' efforts to get Dwin's vetos overridden, most notably
on the ones regarding property tax relief. Small steps but
in the right direction. Why did Dwine veto them after
this had been studied extensively. No one knows. And regarding
the the swirling conspiracy theory is continuing a theme here.

(01:10:25):
But Ron Paul had some interesting words on this. I
think they're very healthy. You don't trust government, right shouldn't?
You should not trust government, this all seeing, all knowing
entity that lords over every aspect of our lives more
and more every single day. I reject that as a concept.
I want to live my life as I see fit

(01:10:47):
without someone telling me how to live it. But Ron
Paul to the point mistrusting government about Epstein and more,
he writes via the Ron Paul Institute, healthy suspicion is good. Ultimately,
last week, the Department of Justice, he writes, announced that
Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a quote client list close

(01:11:07):
quote of prominent individuals who may have broken the law
at Epstein's private island. These individuals could be blackmailed by
Epstein and whatever intelligence agencies were working with him. In February,
in response to the questions about when Epstein client lists
would be made public, Attorney General pan Bondi said that
she had it on her desk and would soon release it.
She now says she meant she had a file related

(01:11:28):
to Epstein, not the Epstein client list. The Justice Department
also claimed it did a full investigation of the circumstances
surrounded Epstein's death and can definitively say that Epstein committed suicide,
even though an autopsy paid for by Epstein's brother concluded
that Epstein was likely murdered. The Justice Department's announcement last
week was met with outrage, much of it coming from

(01:11:51):
some of the president's most prominent allies like Tucker Carlson,
Megan Kelly, and Bennie Johnson. The willingness of so many
Trump allies to openly criticize the Epstein announcement and other
actions like the bombing of Iran is a positive development.
Advancing liberty requires that more people refuse to automatically trust
government officials, whether concerning Epstein's wars, the economy, or other

(01:12:14):
important matters. Widespread questioning of government presents an opportunity for
the liberty movement. Those who understand the philosophy, history, and
economics of liberty can explain that is not just that
some government officials lie. Instead, all governments lie, and the
more important issue, the bigger the lie, the fact that

(01:12:36):
the modern state is built on a series of lies,
including and he provides a nice list, that the moral
prohibitions against murder and theft do not apply to the government.
See that's where I chime in. I'm not in favor
of the death penalty. I don't believe any government, corruptor otherwise,
should be able to take a life, because quite often

(01:12:56):
they are corrupt and they screw up anyway. Second point,
that government regulations protect consumers, workers, and small businesses from
greedy corporations. That the best way to help the poorest
through government bureaucracies, not private charities. That government bureaucrats know
it child's educational needs better than do the child's parents.

(01:13:17):
That the US government has justified in intervening in countries
around the world because the US is an exceptional force
for justice and liberty, and its crusade for global democracy
is worth the ending of many innocent lives. That the
government has the moral authority to override personal health and
lifestyle choices such as whether to drink raw milk for
our own good, That foreign aid takes money from wealthy

(01:13:40):
Americans to give to poor people in other countries, and goos,
that a government created central bank can print the way
to prosperity while prosperity while enabling welfare to welfare state
without causing a boom bust business cycle, and continuously reducing
the average American standard of living through eroding the dollars
purchasing power. Amen on that one, that gun control, mass surveillance,

(01:14:05):
and airport harassment keep us safe. And finally, that the
government is the source of our rights, so government can
restrict or modify our rights at will. Exposing such lies
is key for restoring liberty. The good news is that
the more mistrust of government grows, the easier it will
be to find people receptive to our message. Ron Paul, exactly,

(01:14:34):
I admit to being jaded and cynical. I felt like
I have been lied to so many times by this
point in my life that there is no foundation for trust.
Who knows more about you, your life, your living situation,
your family, your values, your morals, your ethics, your religion,
your family than you.

Speaker 12 (01:14:55):
Do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
You think anybody in Washington, d C. Knows a whit
about you. No, You're just one sign fits all, like
everything else, and they will stuff you into some program
or allocate you to some corner of a pie chart
or some vent vent diagram and treat you uniformly poorly
along with everybody else. Reject that as a concept, fight

(01:15:20):
for your own liberty and enjoy it while it still
was around. We're gonna hear from of course, Jack out

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
Fifty five krc V talkstations.

Speaker 15 (01:15:41):
This report is.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
It's seven five here a fifty five r CUNED talk station.
Love this time of the week. We get the brilliance
of Jack added in with the Big Picture. Jack adthan
welcome back to the morning show, my friend. Always enjoy
hearing from you.

Speaker 11 (01:16:08):
Thanks for having me pel. We always talk politics and
history because one of the great things about politics is
that it's given work to a group of people who
otherwise don't have many options. I'm talking about idiots. Politics
throughout history has taken idiots and given them the chance
to be useful idiots. One if history's first useful idiots

(01:16:33):
was a guy named Affelotti's. He was a real person,
if you may remember him from the movie three hundred
What about three hundred Spartans standing up to the Persians.
My wife loved that movie because the Spartan warriors have something.
I've never had a.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
Six pack six pack save here Jack.

Speaker 14 (01:16:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:16:55):
Never still worth me because every once in a while
I still work on that. Anyway, Ethelots sold out his
fellow Spartans and showed the Persians had to sneak up
on them through a mountain pass. The movie portrayed him
as being a misshapen misfit, eaten up with resentment. That's
a key word, and that's been the model for a

(01:17:17):
lot of useful idiots.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:17:19):
The Russian writer Dostoyevsky Zero Smerdyakov just thinking about Smurderkoff
and brothers Karamantzov, As you just said that, I was
thinking of another novel, The Possessed, Oh yeah, group of Nihilists.
The novel is also sometimes called the Devils or Demons.
The Possessed depicts a group of nihilists, people who believe

(01:17:41):
morality is a sham, the society should be torn down.
Some of these nihilists are bums, some are morons, some
are scholars. They're all useful idiots. A real life useful
idiot helped bring the Nazis to power, a Dutch communist,
Marinus Vandaluby. This beauty was unemployed, nearly blind, mentally challenged,

(01:18:07):
and he burned down the parliament in Berlin, the Reichstag
in nineteen thirty three. Vandaluby insisted he acted alone, but Hitler,
who may have set up Vandaluby, insisted he was part
of a communist conspiracy to destroy the Weimar Republic. That
claim helped Hitler get elected democratically and then turn Germany's

(01:18:29):
democracy into a dictatorship. Turning from history to the attacks
who're experiencing almost every day right now, Look closely at
the mounth shots of the terrorists who ambushed the Ice facility.
In Alvarado, Texas, shooting a police officer in the neck. Angry,
resentful misfits, apparently used by people with money, by handlers

(01:18:53):
who funded their travel, their uniforms, and their weapons. We
can see the month shots of these murders idiots, but
we cannot see the phases of thousands of students, faculty
rabble rousers on so called elite college campuses. Because these
useful idiots often wear masks, the same masks that Democrats

(01:19:15):
condemn when they're worn by ice agents who don't want
to be identified by drug cartels and other enemies of
America because they have families. Useful idiots increasingly have become
the tools of America's enemies because these idiots they don't
want to work. Brian, they accuse Republicans of being killers,

(01:19:36):
of destroying Medicaid because the Big Beautiful Bill requires that
in order to receive free i mean paid for by taxpayers, healthcare,
able bodied younger adults without dependents must work or volunteer
or just receive training to work for a whole twenty

(01:19:56):
hours a week. That's what the idiots call tyranny in fairness,
Democrats call maga. Republicans useful idiots. They say MAGA is
being hoodwinked by Donald Trump. But folks, Trump is not
lying to his supporters. He really did secure the border
from drug dealers, human traffickers, illegal workers who undercut wages.

(01:20:20):
Trump really is bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. Look
at his high tech conference yesterday in Pennsylvania. I hope
we get one of those soon. He really is bringing peace.
Useful idiots are not supporters as someone you just don't
happen to like. They're supporters of someone who are some
party that's how to destroy them. When men and women

(01:20:44):
on assembly lines support Democrats, they're backing a party that
ships their jobs overseas. When Jewish students on Ivy League
campuses support Palestine from the river to the sea, they
are supporting the genocide of Jews. Idiots who consider themselves
smart think they'll escape punishment. That trader Eflatti's thought the

(01:21:07):
Persians would protect him. Guess what they didn't. Labor union
bosses think they'll keep their jobs even after members lose theirs,
although some bosses are now getting the message. Teamsters president
Shwan O'Brien did not endorse Trump, but he spoke at
last year's Republican Convention amid reports that truckloads of teamsters

(01:21:29):
were turning Maga. Sean O'Brien is not a useful idiot. Finally,
I suspect the majority of communists, nihilists, and other useful
idiots now turning America into a war zone simply do
not want to work as their grandparents did. They reject capitalism,
They reject families. They are squalling infants who want to

(01:21:52):
be nursed all through life at the breast of big government,
including Kami Mamdani, New York Democrat mayoral candidate, who is
a useful idiot, even though he wants to be on top.
He wants to run big government. The armed attack on
that ice facility came all the rest of us were
celebrating America's independence on July fourth. Our founders, Brian were

(01:22:17):
not nihilists. They were farmers, lawyers, business people, and even
before July fourth, seventeen seventy six, they had a long
tradition of self governments, starting with the Plymouth Charter and
New England town halls. They laid the foundation for a
nation where all can be free, even useful idiots, as

(01:22:40):
long as they follow the law.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
What are you saying, oh, so you conclude it on
a point that I wanted to make as long as
they follow law. The useful idiots harness this whole idea
of taking money and criticized the capitalist system and rail
against it constantly, you know, screaming for the day when
we're going to have this socials. You tell you failing
to appreciate that the capitalist system creates the very dollars

(01:23:05):
that they're after, the dollars that they want redistributed to
the poor and needy, the people who don't want to work.
As you point out, I mean, absent capitalism, those dollars
wouldn't even be there. Look at all the other socialist
countries and the failed reality of what bring what socialism
brings about Jack, which is sloth and lethargy. Why lift
a finger and engage in extra effort at work if

(01:23:26):
you're not going to be compensated better than the guy
next to you, from each according to the ability, to
each according to his need is a recipe for economic
disaster and collapse, along with all the other programs of
those evil capitalist dollars of fund like medicare you know,
are medicaid. It's backcrap insane. They harness greed and envy

(01:23:46):
and they justify it to create a concept of what
I call legalized theft. And I've said it many times.
You know, the income tax itself, it's slavery, jack. You
got to pay federal income tax dollars based on your
earnings that is that is created by your labor, That
is taking your labored What I mean, isn't that the

(01:24:06):
very definition of slaveries taking from you and not compensating
you for something, just outright stealing it from you based
upon a law. It's Marxism, it is.

Speaker 11 (01:24:16):
We've turned it around on the people who are actually
out there working. Yeah, and you know that's what they believe.
Their tactics are very interesting too. I think the aim
of most of these useful idiots is to incite authorities
into overreacting. They want to see police, yeah, federal agents
shoot someone, yes dead. Even better, they'd love to see

(01:24:38):
Donald Trump declear some kind of martial law. So we
just have to use lawful force and the force of law,
even if it grinds slowly. Look how many Supreme Court
decisions are going Trump's way, from deportations to firing federal
workers and so much else we can act lawfully because
we know eighty percent of the country opposes anarchy, opposes

(01:25:02):
these new ultra left democrats. And Trump's real aim is
to make so many Americans so successful they won't have
the patience to support young, able bodied losers.

Speaker 3 (01:25:16):
Yeah. Well, and that's one of the pinnacles of Marxism
is an impoverished middle class. You need an impoverished middle
class to rise up and go after the oppressors. If
you have a very comfortable middle class, which is what
we all strive for, they're not interested in overthrowing government jack.
They're comfortable, they're happy, and they go about their daily
lives and enjoy the freedoms and liberties that we still enjoy,

(01:25:36):
all though quickly eroding. They are. I mean, that's a
tenet of Marxism. And you're right, the better Donald Trump makes.

Speaker 11 (01:25:43):
Often said that's why these Marxist revolutions from one hundred
and one hundred and fifty years ago, they started not
in Germany as marx expected, not in England. They started
in Russia, and then in China, and then in Cuban
and Venezuela and places where people don't have much hope
because they're Notolis don't have a decent constitution.

Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
And you think about Russia and what gave rise to
the revolution. They were under the thumb of a tzar
that didn't treat the people very well. The tsar's army
would trample people, they would raid villages, and they would
you know, I mean this, there was already a built
in resentment for the state that welcomed then communism because
of that oppressive you know that that that police state

(01:26:22):
they lived under, people were generally against it. In the
United States, the police aren't viewed as enemies to the
large swath of American people. People enjoy the police department.
They want safe, comfortable neighborhoods they can walk in. And
that's why it doesn't happen here these these when when
police do attack, I mean, they're like they're clamoring for
another George Floyd. I mean, they blew that so far

(01:26:44):
out of proportion, But look, it gave rise to several
years worth of street riots and activism. One guy. That's
what they want. They want a poster child to go
after the state. But thankfully we live in a country
where there aren't that many poster children out there, and
we have a built in a preciation for law enforcement
and law and order generally speaking.

Speaker 11 (01:27:04):
See some things that are right in front of you
and try to make you think that they're happening all
the time. Yeah, but how many police shootings have we
had of innocent people since George Floyd? How many school
shootings have we had? As these things, these terrible things
that should never be forgotten, but as they received in time,
we realize that they're outliers. What's not an outlier is

(01:27:26):
police protect us. We go to work, we make money.
This country thrives, so true, Jack.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
And then the other component is, and you mentioned it,
the funding of these radicals, these useful idiots. You can
get a lot of television coverage if you show up
and protest something that's there are not that many out
there that are willing to engage in the protests, but
the visuals created create a perception that those folks represent

(01:27:55):
the majority of the population, most notably when you've got
social media to back up and push that narrative. And
you've also got foreign foes out there in the world,
China's of the world that also perpetuate the division in
our country and foment that idea. I mean, it's I mean,
the odds aren't stacked against us from what the average
guy in the street believes and embraces by way of

(01:28:18):
politics or relative to the perception of the police department.
But when you've got that spotlight focused on the crazies
out there, these useful idiots, it really does give them
a perception or gives people the perception that they are
the ones that have the majority opinion, and that's just
so far from the truth.

Speaker 11 (01:28:35):
After practicing law the way you did. My first experience
of TV behind the camera actually came when I was
visiting college campuses in nineteen sixty nine, oh And I
went to one and I saw that there were a
bunch of people sitting on a lawn, and I noticed
that there were signs on the lawn next to them.

Speaker 3 (01:28:53):
A TV crew showed up.

Speaker 11 (01:28:55):
They all got up and they started yelling and screen
and brandishing this and that was the demonstration that was
shown that night on TV.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
I'm sure it was probably the lead story. Jack Adden,
always making outstanding points. I love when you come on
the program. I'll look forward to next Wednesday in another
edition of The Big Picture. God bless you and of
course your better half thanks for everything you do, Brian,
Thank you man. You really add to the show a lot.
I truly mean that. Seven nineteen right now at fifty
five K see the talk station. I love when people

(01:29:26):
save money, and I love saving money. And I saved
the heaplow of money because I had the last several
of my CT scans at Affordable Imaging Services and I
got good news because on Monday I went and saw
my cancer doctor. My last CT scan from Affordable Imaging
Services showed my lymph notes got smaller, and that was
wonderful news because I thought it was gonna have to

(01:29:46):
go back in treatment. So nope, kicking it off. We're
gonna we're in maintenance mode. But CT scan. Everybody's gonna
have to get a CT scan, an ultra sound and
MRI and echo cartogram at some point. It's gonna cost
you thousands of dollars. At a hospital imaging department. You
probably pay extra for the board's certified radiologist report. None
of the images here, not one is above. I think
the most expensive one is like six hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah,

(01:30:10):
not thousands, because the CT scan at the hospital will
cost you five grand. I paid six hundred because I
needed a contrast four to fifty without a contrast and
include that price includes the board. Certified radiologists report MRIs
could be thirty five hundred at hospital, How about four
hundred and ninety five without a contrast At Affordable Imaging Services.
It's that way across the board, same kind of equipment,

Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
It is seven twenty three fifty five KR se the
talk station. Coming up next segment the return of Donovan
and Eil from Americans for Prosperity. We're going to talk
about the one Small Step campaign. Maybe you and I
can help out on that one, plus an update on
our efforts to get Towine to override the vetos or
to get our elected officials and Columbus to override Diwine's
vetos related to the property text steps. I don't know

(01:32:26):
why he picked those and why he didn't veto the
six hundred million dollars going to the Browns. Yeah, anyway,
real quick here, I I met you know, you heard
me maybe comment when I was doing my affordable imaging
services commercial the CT scan I just had most recently,
I guess several weeks ago. But I've finally gotten to
see my doctor. My love nodes are smaller, which is great.

(01:32:47):
I do have lymphoma. I've given people updates on my cancer,
and I only bring it up to raise awareness about cancer.
I truly appreciate all the prayers and the kind words
people have passed along to me. But I only bring
this up right now because the only thing I've changed,
and I don't know if this was the reason my
lymph notes got smaller because they were growing. The only

(01:33:09):
thing I've changed since last October is my diet. That's it.
And I'd read many articles and you can find them
yourself there. There are lots and lots of published articles
and studies out there about the connection between sugar and cancer. Now,
I had never seen one saying if you reduce your
sugar or reduce your sugar intake, it can help with lymphoma,
but it does help with solid cancers. And if you

(01:33:31):
eliminate sugar for your diet, apparently cancer absolutely craves, feeds
off of and loves the stuff. So I have eliminated
almost completely added sugar in my diet. Now I do
get some sugars in the form of fruit, but those
are harder to digest, and that's a critical point here.
You want something it's more difficult to digest, not processed sugars,

(01:33:53):
which I guess cancer grabs onto immediately. But if you're
interested in all your way of living, not that I'm like,
I could point to a lot of directions where I
don't necessarily live a healthy life. But since last October,
the elimination of sugar in my diet and an elimination
of a lot of the carbs has really helped me.

(01:34:15):
I feel a lot better than I did. I lost
twenty pounds just by doing those two things, and after
a little while you don't even think about it anymore.
Don't buy the stuff when you're at the grocery store.
It's not in the house for you to eat and
maybe you'll get a corollary benefit. So if you're dealing
with cancer, why not consider that as a path. So
I've got nothing else again to point to for the

(01:34:36):
reason why they got smaller. I'm not a cancer expert.
I just know that I'm dealing with it and it
was great news for me because I don't have to
have treatment now. So just a thought, just a thought,
and thanks again for all the kind words out there
over the years, because this has been an issue for
me now for more than five or six years, seven

Fifty five KRC The Talk Station seven thirty fifty five
cars de Talk Station. Happy Wednesday. It's that time of
the week we talk with Americans for Prosperity. Donovan and
Eil Donovan, Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
My friend it's always a pleasure having you on.

Speaker 7 (01:36:21):
Hey, happy to be here with you.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
So one small step for a man, one giantle for mankind,
it's time for a one small step campaign. Let's talk
about this. You've launched this new campaign. What's it all about, Donovan.

Speaker 16 (01:36:35):
Well, as we say, every giant leap begins with one
small step, and we've actually had our one Small Step
campaign for a number of months now, but we're sort
of kicking it off with renewed vigor and they run
up to next year's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the United States. And we've set out a challenge we're
launching today that is every AFP chapter, every state in

(01:36:55):
the country, we're gonna be looking to mobilize two hundred
and fifty thousands actions, two hundred and fifty thousand small steps,
if you will, to make a difference in the run
up to next July fourth, America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
It's a big cary on Dasis School, Brian, but it's
one that we think we're well positioned to do and
we think can help reignite the American dream for so

(01:37:16):
many folks from coast to Coast.

Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
Well, you point out, and I saw the study myself.
It's a sad reality, the reality that the Gallup poll
showing only fifty eight percent of US adults are proud
to be Americans. I mean, I think we've this is
an important campaign. I truly embrace what you're doing here
because I think we've lost our sense of reality relativity.

(01:37:38):
People don't pay attention to how terrible things are in
other countries, so they more fully appreciate the freedoms and
liberties that are well quick while quickly eroding, we still
enjoy here in America. We've lost sight of something that
I think is so truly and fundamentally important. It's like
basically embodied in the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 16 (01:37:55):
Oh absolutely, and you know we see it a lot, right,
you have that we run into that pol malaise, Right,
folks who say, well, my voice isn't going to make
a difference.

Speaker 3 (01:38:03):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 16 (01:38:03):
You know if I go out and knock that door,
is that really going to have an impact? If I
even go vote Brian, is that gonna Does that tip
the scales of power in Washington and set things on
the right direction? And so we combat that every day.
But you know, part of the campaign, and our folks
who who've developed this and come up with some of
the messaging and some of the promotional materials will be.

Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
Rolling out around.

Speaker 16 (01:38:23):
This's got a phenomenal job I think of tapping into
that American spirit, and no one better than Neil Armstrong
to start with. That's who you know why we're launching
it this week is because he go in that phrase right,
one small step for mankind one or one small step
from one giant leap for mankind. I butchered it totally, Brian.
But the point there is we all know.

Speaker 7 (01:38:42):
It, and it still it.

Speaker 16 (01:38:45):
You know, it fires up this sense of the American
spirit and the folks who say it, who hear it,
and that's what we're wanting to tap into with this campaign.

Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
Actually, I maybe find fault with that one as an
analogy because although you know, we the United States of
EA did send a manto the moon and he did
land on the moon, he did jump and walk on
the moon first is a major accomplidation. That was a
large government program funded by taxpayer dollars, Donovan, But.

Speaker 16 (01:39:11):
It was a lot of Americans who came together, you know,
I think where we tapped into that vision is you know,
as a country, right, we united around that idea, And
it's hard to kind of point to in recent history
some ideas whereas Americans we've just sort of.

Speaker 7 (01:39:27):
Collectively united around them. Right.

Speaker 16 (01:39:29):
We find ourselves divided and separated on so many issues.
But I think if we can kind of get ourselves
together around these and I think we're going to be
highlighting some of those different ideas and where we see
these these opportunities for Americans to come together and sort
of reignite those founding principles that our country started upon

(01:39:51):
two hundred and fifty years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:39:53):
Well, and I appreciate that. One of the things you're
going to be doing with this one Small Step campaign
is spotlighting America can visionaries, inventors, the entrepreneurs that took
the challenge and and you know, bid off some potential
downside risk and got around the challenges they face and
created something of really significant value for well the population

(01:40:18):
at generally speaking. You know, inventors, for example, they create
something that's wonderful, you know, maybe a vaccine or a
cure for something, or you know, somebody created the Internet
at one point. How transformational was that? But I hope
that at some point in an AFP and I know
you're giving your goals and your mission statement, you will
be focusing on this. But what drove these people to

(01:40:38):
do that? And I would point out, and you know,
on the heels of Jack Avan in my conversation, that
is the opportunity for wealth to make something that people
want to make, something that will go out into the world,
that people will buy. So you become wealthy and then
you can employ other people and keep this great American
dream going, I mean, and share that by employing people.
And that's one of the great things about you know, capitalism.

Speaker 16 (01:41:01):
Oh absolutely, And it's what has made our country so
exceptional for the years.

Speaker 7 (01:41:04):
It's that it's existed, right, It's.

Speaker 16 (01:41:08):
That idea that you know, folks have an idea at
a core level. They want to make something better for society.
They see a problem and when they solve that problem,
they create wealth. They create opportunity, not just for themselves
in their families, which is a marvelous thing, but they
do it for the people in their community.

Speaker 7 (01:41:25):
Right.

Speaker 16 (01:41:25):
The jobs, the opportunity that they create then creates more opportunity.
It's this these cycles of mutual benefit.

Speaker 7 (01:41:32):
Brian.

Speaker 16 (01:41:32):
The opportunity that comes from a nation that, at its
core principles believes that life, liberty in.

Speaker 7 (01:41:39):
The pursuit of happiness is what it's all about.

Speaker 16 (01:41:42):
And those those founding principles that are articulated in the
Decoration of Attendance and our nation's constitutions or our founding documents,
that's what enables those folks, those innovators, those entrepreneurs, those
job creators to do what they do and has made
us a country exceptionalism for so many years.

Speaker 3 (01:42:02):
Yeah, but you know, Donovan, it's just not fair that
someone makes money. It's not fair in spite of the
fact that all their labor, all their effort, and all
their trials and and and quite often multiple failures after
failure after failure, they keep driving toward it, and then
they accomplish something and somebody else wants to stick their
hand in the pocket of the entrepreneur and take it

(01:42:22):
from them, just because find that's so effective.

Speaker 7 (01:42:26):
It well, and.

Speaker 16 (01:42:28):
That's part of what we're going to do, right. I
think we're gonna be work through this campaign. We're going
to do a good job, I hope of talking about
the history, talking about the foundational principles that our organization
and bodies and that makes our nation great. But through that,
you know we're act. We're an organization of action. We're
not just going to spend a year providing a history lesson.
We're going to be challenging folks to take action along

(01:42:50):
the way, right because, as you know, we know that
for those freedom and liberties are are fleeting, and we
have so much red tape and regulation in this kind
and in this state, we have so much taxation, right,
government coming in taking money out of one person's pocket
and trying to put it in someone else's. It makes
it hard for entrepreneurs, innovators, creators to be successful, let

(01:43:13):
alone hardworking blue collar americ Ohioans.

Speaker 7 (01:43:16):
Right.

Speaker 16 (01:43:16):
And so we're going to be using this campaign as
additionally as an opportunity to talk about those issues, those
areas for reform, the ways we move Ahio from middle
of the Midwest to number one in the nation and
AFP Ohio we get the forefront of that conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:43:29):
Uh the website, take one small step dot com any
calls to action from my listeners beyond heading over to
the website and checking.

Speaker 16 (01:43:37):
It out, well, head over the website, sol that information
out and when our team members reach out to you
to take action and get involved, to take your one
small step take them up on it. From calling your
state representatives to tell them to override the governor's misguided vetos. Yeah,
joining us at the state House. Take that small step,
whatever it is, it makes an impact and it makes
a difference. So we need two hundred and fifty thousand

(01:43:58):
of them here in the state of Ohio.

Speaker 3 (01:44:00):
I know my listeners will heed the challenge. Take one
small step dot com, get in touch with the website
and help by doing just one small effort in that direction.
Donald Neneo, speaking of veto overrides, I'm going to bring
you back in the next segment to talk about where
we are on that and what else we can do
to assist in the effort to provide as some measure
of property tax relief, as small as it may be.
I'll take whatever we can get. Seven thirty eight right now,

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KR scene the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:46:23):
It is seven forty three to fifty five Krcity talk
station Brian Thomas with Americans for Prosperities Donovan and Eil Donovan.
You alluded to it. Call to action, us calling our
representatives and exposed senators in Columbus and telling them to
override Mike dwaines Vito's at least related to the three
property texts relief provisions that were in the bill that
he vitaed. Anything beyond that and where where do you

(01:46:46):
stand on that? If you had interactions with the representatives
or senators to find out where they are on overriding
the veto.

Speaker 16 (01:46:53):
Yeah, we've been That's sort of what we've been doing
right now is having a lot of conversations with numbers
of the General Assembly, particularly state representatives.

Speaker 7 (01:47:00):
Is the way that the veto override.

Speaker 16 (01:47:01):
Process works is it has to originate in the chamber
where the bill came out of and so because the
budget starts in the House House built ninety seven, the
House has to take the first action and do the
first round of veto overrides.

Speaker 7 (01:47:13):
Then it goes to the Senate.

Speaker 16 (01:47:14):
And really, honestly, the House is where the challenge lies
because it takes sixty votes.

Speaker 7 (01:47:19):
You have sixty votes. Republicans have a sixty.

Speaker 16 (01:47:22):
Five member majority in the House, and so while that
gives you a five vote buffer, there's still a handful
of folks right who might be out of town or
sick or whatever. Unknown reason decide they don't want to
vote on this thing or want to play games. And
so it is an important sort of rallying effort, and

(01:47:42):
there's an opportunity for grassroots to have an outsized impact,
which is what our team's doing in events and rallying
folks up in telephone town hall is one of the
things we've been hosting around the state this week.

Speaker 3 (01:47:52):
Good is there any opposition to the provisions? I mean,
they were in there to start with, and I still
can't for likely figure out why my to one and
veto them, considering they were the subject matter of a
full year's worth of research and and and study.

Speaker 16 (01:48:08):
Yeah, and talking to some folks, I think what I've
heard is Dwine sort of didn't expect the backlash that
has come from this. And that's what most folks who've
been paying attention to what's going on in Columbus have said,
is like these were things that were.

Speaker 7 (01:48:20):
Well at it. Literally, I'm not being facetious here.

Speaker 16 (01:48:24):
Hundreds of hours of public testimony, yeah, from organizations left
right and center, citizens, local government officials, representatives all talking
about these issues, and the four pieces of property touch
form and these by the way, Brian aren't the kinds
of things that are you know, going to deliver major
transformation over bullets.

Speaker 3 (01:48:44):
They're like baby steps. The measures that may help provide
at least provide some flexibility to maybe get bring about
some property tax relief. Maybe they won't, but at least
they provide some flexibility to provide that relief.

Speaker 16 (01:48:57):
Absolutely, and so they're they're meaningful, but they are they're
not controversial. These are things that have been discussed and
it's about really resetting the equation. And that's what the
state legislature can do on this property tax crisis is
create a structure that puts the taxpayers back in the
dominant position. Where right now the thirty nine hundred political

(01:49:19):
subdivisions and they're tens of thousands of lobbyists across the
state of Ohio are in the dominant position. They have
the advantage over the taxpayer right now. They don't want
to change that. At the legislature through the budget, was
going to change some of the rules, and the governor
to wine vetoed some of those changes that would have
been to the benefit of the property taxpayer here in
the state of Ohio is the same. That's why we're

(01:49:40):
so happy to see July twenty first, the House comeback
for a veto override session.

Speaker 3 (01:49:45):
And okay, so on one side, the budget passed with
the provision, so one would logically think there'll be enough
votes to override the vetos. So that's one effort we
need to engage in, because, of course, as you mentioned,
needs sixty people to do it. Are Democrats against those?
I mean, listen, it doesn't matter what political stripe you are.
Your property tax bill has gone through the roof, So
if it's going to maybe provide some benefit, it will

(01:50:06):
provide benefit to Democrats as well as Republicans. I mean,
I suppose I was just going to think. The only
thing that I would think that who would be arguing
against it is maybe the teachers unions because somehow it
might impact the amount of money that the schools get.
But beyond that, is there any organized effort to oppose
the vetos?

Speaker 16 (01:50:26):
Well, that's what Yeah, you're you're spot on there, Brian.
The largest outside voices on this issue are teachers unions
and the organizations that represent all these political subdivisions, the schools,
the school board officials, the townships, the villages, the cities,
all that. But here's The interesting thing, well, policy can

(01:50:49):
be good. We know how this plays out. There's politics
always at play here. Yeah, and so the Democrat minority
has while they understand the property tax issue and they
I think which support should support these issues these items
because they've been part of those conversations, politics is at
play right Beyond that, we see this play out on

(01:51:10):
the federal level. We even got Republicans, Brian who use
this as an opportunity to'll try to leverage or parlay
influence or power at the quite frankly at the costs
of the property tax payer here in the state of Ohio.
And so, just like we see on the federal level
with Lisa Mkowski and others who play games on recisions
packages that should be slammed dunks for Republicans exact spending restraint,

(01:51:32):
we've got Republicans in Ohio too who try to play
those similar games and disrupt an opportunity to really one
let Governor de Wine know he's wrong in his vetos,
but two begin to deliver some relief for Ohioans when
it comes to their property tax bills.

Speaker 3 (01:51:50):
Yeah. Well, that's why we get a get on the
phone and write letters or otherwise contact our elected officials
in Columbus. Donald O'Neil, the question still looming large for
me out there, why in the hell did the Wine
veto those provisions? I mean, his lot, his argument for
doing it is it needs to be studied, and he's
put together this focus group to study on it. That's
what was happening last year. That's how they came up
with all the various suggestions. I guess three or four

(01:52:12):
of which actually made it into the legislation. I don't.
I just don't get it, Donovan, I guess I never will.
But then again, Mike de Wine has remained a mystery
to me for a lot of reasons. Donald and Neil,

Speaker 3 (01:54:45):
It is seven fifty four fifty five KRC the talk
station Sadly no judgment an Apolitano today. Judge was off
on vacation this week next week, so we won't hear
from him next week either, but we'll hear from him
the following week. Cos and Thomas Messi will be joining
the program. After the top of the our news we
will be talking with Congress som Massey about maybe I'll

(01:55:06):
ask him about the MAGA pack that's going after him
for well, for reasons unknown to me, Congressomassy sticks to
his principles. You knew damn well how he was going
to vote and why he was going to vote the
way he votes, and he's he's a strict construction as
constitutional as the foundation. It's the highest law of the Lamb,
and he sticks to it. You're going to vote for
a bill that's going to increase our deficit by five

(01:55:26):
trillion dollars. It's crazy, I get it. But at least
we have Massy to keep those discussions alive because without him,
you know, you don't have the discussion. So that will
be we will definitely be talking about the Prime Act,
prep Repeal Act, what are those? Plus the Epstein Transparency
Act he is pushing for the release of those documents,

(01:55:47):
and why not, let's just get it over with. If
there's no there there, let us see the documents and
draw our own conclusions, and we'll move on from this
pesky topic which is feeding more and more conspiracy theories
every single day, and justify it. So fifty six to
fifty five krs the talk station to stick around for
Congressman Massy still be called the Twelve Day War. I

(01:56:09):

Had a very happy Wednesday to you. A little less
happy because no Judge ennited to Polatana considering he's on
vacation this weekend next week. But we still get usually
the hour of Power. My favorite hour radio is when
we get Congressman Thomas Massy followed by the Politana. I'll
take half of the dynamic duel. Welcome back to the
fifty five carsee Morning show Congressman Thomas Massy, I love

(01:56:52):
having you on the show.

Speaker 12 (01:56:55):
Well, Brian, have stirred it up in DC. You've heapped
me on it a good time.

Speaker 3 (01:57:00):
Well you started up. I guess you incurred the wrath
of Donald Trump. I've seen the ad the running against
you and attacking you. It's obviously a very distorted perception
of where you stand and your values in your principles.
But is it a campaign as an election year, because
it's sure season seems like when you watch television in
the evening.

Speaker 12 (01:57:21):
Oh man, I you know they try to do these
TV ads and put me with the squad. Yeah, but
they've they replaced one of the squad with the Ayatola.
So I tell Rashida to leave. She's been bumped from
my TV ad Ayatola. But they're just so ridiculous and

(01:57:42):
so over the top. But here's the thing, I hope
your listeners remember. Dogs don't bark at parked cars. The reason. Look,
I wasn't the only one to vote against a big,
beautiful bill, but I'm the only one they're running ads
against because I'm I can mobilize people in Congress. I

(01:58:02):
can build coalitions and that's what I did yesterday. I
put in a bill that will force the release of
the Epstein files. Yeah, this is legislation, and I used
a method that I learned from the Rules Committee and
some people there about how to do a discharge petition. Now,

(01:58:28):
this is going to get a little bit wonky, but
you know, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson's not
going to bring a bill to release the Epstein files
to the floor. If he was going to do that,
he would.

Speaker 3 (01:58:37):
Have done it a year ago, right, I guess.

Speaker 12 (01:58:39):
So there's something called a discharge petition where you can,
if you can get two hundred and eighteen signatures, you
can bypass the Speaker and the committee chairman and bring
a bill straight to the floor. And normally you have
to wait thirty seven days for that to ripen before
you can start collecting signatures. But I figured out a

(01:59:00):
way to do it in seven days. So in seven
legislative days, you'all are going to find out who wants
the Epstein files released and who doesn't among the four
hundred and thirty five members of Congress, because they can
either sign this petition to bring the bill to the
floor or not sign it.

Speaker 3 (01:59:18):
Well, it's I guess the big question looming in the
room is why wouldn't you release them?

Speaker 7 (01:59:24):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:59:24):
If you take the administration at their word, there's nothing there.
The only thing in the assortment of documents is a
bunch of downloaded child porn which they won't release, thank god,
and they can't. But beyond that, we've been listening for
years and years the screams and cries about the Epstein
client list, the bribery, the extortion, the sexual abuse of miners,

(01:59:45):
that it seems to be fairly well documented. There's got
to be something there, So why wouldn't you just release
it now? Maybe it'll be a big bubble burst for
all the conspiracy theorists out there, But fine, let the
bubbles burst. Here's the documents we told you, and there's
nothing here. Or alternatively, let us draw our own conclusions
about those who interacted with Epstein. Were entitled to.

Speaker 12 (02:00:05):
Have that, yes, and my legislation is carefully crafted to
protect the victims, yes, and to prevent the release of
you know, child pornography. Yes, it's got an exemption for that.
Just don't give us that information. But one thing they're
not allowed to redact is embarrassing information. You specifically put

(02:00:28):
that in there. And the victims, you know, they're victims
speaking out, they want justice. Yeah, the American people were
guaranteed transparency. I mean, this was part of the election.
It's part of what we all voted for to drain
the swamp. And so that's what my resolution will do.
It'll fulfill that promise. And uh, you know, I you know,

(02:00:52):
my personal opinion is he probably wasn't, you know, reporting
to a cubicle at some intelligence agency, and he probably
wasn't on a W two paying you know, withholding on
on his salary from an intelligence agency. But I think
that he was wrapped up in a collection of information

(02:01:14):
about high profile individuals. Was there blackmail involved, I don't know,
but I certainly think that he was part of this.
He was probably associated with Massad, the Israeli intelligence agency.
And you know, we've got proof of that. There are
court records back when they first declined to really prosecute him,

(02:01:37):
they said in the in the court records that he
was associated with intelligence collection.

Speaker 3 (02:01:44):
Yeah. His one of his former attorneys, Alan Dersheritz, wrote
a piece for The Wall Street Journal that showed up
in Today's Journal inside Scoop on Jeffrey Epstein, and he
addresses each of these arguments, and he said, I have
absolutely no doubt that Epstein never worked for any intelligen
If he had, he would have surely told me this,
and his other lawyer and his other lawyers who would

(02:02:04):
have used that information to get him a better deal.
Apparently the one and a half years he agreed to
serve in a local jail did not resonate well with Epstein,
So having information along those lines would have been presented
to the court. Perhaps, I don't know, but that's the
argument that Dershowitz made. But it's either true or it's not,
and we should be able to know that. What the

(02:02:25):
hell do you make, Congressman Massey of Trump now make
arguing that this is along the lines of Russian collusion
of these documents and these these arguments and these conspiracy
theories were whole cloth made up, because that flies in
the face of a lot of things that he said
prior to now. It just doesn't make any sense to me, because,
of course, he says that knowing full well that something

(02:02:46):
like what you're doing, which is passed potentially passing a
bill to get these documents out there, that could end
up flying if his face flying in his face.

Speaker 12 (02:02:56):
Well, let's get the documents out there in this vetom,
you know, Yeah, give them the light of day, and
if they were made up, we can figure out how
they were made up, Who made it up exactly. We've
got the tools that are disposable disposal, The DJ and
the FBI are there, So let's get it all out there.
Just to say that there's no more files and then

(02:03:18):
to say that it's made up, see takes the question, wait,
what what's made up that you're not sharing?

Speaker 3 (02:03:24):
Right? Yeah, that came out of nowhere for me. I
just I didn't understand why he even made that as
an argument, and I don't think it helps his case
at all.

Speaker 12 (02:03:34):
You can go back and find you know, the Deputy
Director Dan Bongino talking about these files. You can go back.
You can you can find Donald Trump's children talking about
these files during the election. You can find the vice
president talking about these files even more recently, and even
the Attorney General Pam Bondi talking about these files. Let's

(02:03:57):
just get it out there and let the public decide.
And you know, I'm sure there are some things they're
still going to try to hold on to. But my provision,
my legislation has the force of law, and so people
are saying, oh, well, they'll use this or that to
keep from giving it to you, And we do grant
them certain exceptions. If there's something in there that would

(02:04:20):
compromise our national security, Okay, don't disclose that. But everything else,
it's this resolution which brings forward legislation has the force
of law.

Speaker 3 (02:04:34):
Well, it's going to be interesting to see how the
vote comes out. I know you're pushing forward this with
the backing of Representative ro Kanna, no conservative heed Democrat
from California, so you can call it bipartisan legislation, and
I think it's appropriate label for it. Do you get
a sense of where folks are in terms of how
they're going to vote on this, Congressman Massy, Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:04:54):
So let me give you the timeline here. Rocanna and
I introduced this together. He's my cospond on this. I'm
the lead. I can control the timing of it. But
Roe is sort of pison and on grod among the
Democrats a lot of times too. But he assures me
that he thinks most of the Democrats will sign on

(02:05:15):
to this discharge petition to get the vote, And this
morning I talked with Marjorie Taylor Green and she signed
up this morning. Now, Jesus close as you can get
to the President and Maga, she talks to President every week,
and so she signed onto it. That's a big step.
I think. You know, all it takes is every Democrat

(02:05:38):
plus four Republicans, and there's two of us already, so
I think it's going to get a vote. Here's but
here's what's going to happen the leadership once once I
start getting momentum on this, they want to probably deprive
me of the victory, so they may introduce their own

(02:05:58):
legislation or take some other action to try to pre
empty what I'm doing. And by the way, it'll be
seven legislative days before anybody can actually sign the discharge petition.
They can co sponsor my resolution to bring up the bill,
but to force it around the speaker, it takes the
seven days to legislative days to get to that point.

(02:06:19):
So it might we might go into the August recess
without two hundred and eighteen signatures. But that'll be a
great time for people to contact their congressmen and tell
them when they get back in September signed the Dagon
Discharge petition to get the Epstein files out.

Speaker 3 (02:06:36):
Amen. And you know, I think the best thing could
happen of all this, we find out there is no
there there. We put a stake in the heart of
all the conspiracy theories and we move on with our lives,
not having to talk about it anymore. But as long
as the documents are withheld, it's not going away. Congress Massy,
applaud your efforts. Let's pause and bring it back. We'll
talk about Prime Act. We'll talk about PREP Act, a
couple of really important pieces of legislation. More with congressom

Speaker 3 (02:08:58):
As a nineteen to fifty five KR seed talks Happy Wednesday.
Congressman Thomas Massey on the line, Let's pivot over what
you call medical malpractice martial law. This relates to something
called the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness the PREP Act.
This one looks really tasty, Congressman MESSI let my listeners
know all about this.

Speaker 12 (02:09:18):
Yeah, so a lot of people know that vaccine manufacturers
have been shielded for decades from liability. But what they're
not fully aware of is there's an even worse law
that shields everybody from liability during a pandemic. If the
President declares a pandemic, as he did in during COVID,

(02:09:38):
but we've still got like multiple pandemics, they never undeclare
the pandemic right, So what happens, for instance, during COVID
is not only are the vaccine manufacturers not liable for
harm they cause to know their users or citizens, neither
are the people who make the masks. So if you

(02:10:02):
somebody made a mask that had cancer particles on it
and you inhaled those the particles for six months, too bad.
They're covered by the prep BacT. The prep BacT says
that during a pandemic declared by the president, nobody who
makes anything to deal with the pandemic can be sued

(02:10:22):
even if they cause harm to people.

Speaker 3 (02:10:24):
So a completely negligently manufactured product like a tinted mask,
there's still immune from product liability under the Under the
urgency use.

Speaker 12 (02:10:38):
The only way they can be liable is if you
can prove they did it on PERF with the intent
to harm right. So the problem, Look, I don't like lawsuits,
but they do keep corporations sort of in check. There's
this incentive not to you know, harm people if you're

(02:11:00):
going to have to pay for it becomes if it
becomes unprofitable, right because ultimately that's what corporations are driven
by his profits and making a dollar. So you need
to have this these these injury laws for better or worse,
and it's actually for better, and almost all of them

(02:11:21):
are state laws. So here's why I call it the
PREP BacT medical Malpractice martial law. It's a federal law
that says none of the state laws apply. And I
think it's a violation of the tenth Amendment. There's nowhere
in the Constitution that lets the federal government say that
all state laws dealing with liability are null and void.

(02:11:45):
Because when the founder set up this country, they intended
liability issues to be at the state level, and that's
where they are. So anyways, my bill would repeal the
PREP Act. It's been around since two thousand, thousand and five.
We got along just fine before two thousand and five,
and I mean, it's just crazy the way that the

(02:12:08):
PREP Pact has been employed by corporations to shield themselves
from the dangers and harms they've caused individuals.

Speaker 3 (02:12:16):
I would state the obvious on this one, Congress from
sc you were going to invite the full force and
weight of the billions of dollars the pharmaceutical companies have
in opposition to this effort, and I know they carry
a lot of weight among elected officials in DC.

Speaker 12 (02:12:31):
Well, now you know one of the reasons. Again, you're
seeing one point eight million dollars of negative ads being
run against me in the Cincinnati market a year before
the election. They're trying to tune me up. They're trying
to put me in my place, and I'm sorry. My
place is protecting the citizens of the fourth District of Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (02:12:52):
So this would be a retroactive repeal the emergency authorization
for the COVID vaccine. Yes, wow, wow, you're in for
a hell of a congressome mess, what hell of a fight.

Speaker 12 (02:13:05):
The COVID vaccine would still have immunity under the vaccine law. Well,
some of the COVID vaccine, by the way, is covered
by the vaccine law, and some of it wasn't. Once
they got it on the schedule, it was covered okay,
but the prep BAC covered it for a while, and
so I've also co sponsored a bill by Paul Gossar

(02:13:26):
to get rid of the vaccine immunity thing. But uh,
you've got things like prim Dezi beer, for instance, which
caused kidney failure and he killed a lot of people.
It was over prescribed, killed a lot of healthy people
who would have recovered from COVID without it, that would
be subject to liability.

Speaker 3 (02:13:47):
Well, it'll be interesting. I have my popcorn out waiting
to see how this one unfolds. And like I said,
big farm is going to throw millions and millions of
dollars in opposition to you. Keep fighting a good fight
on that one. Let's move over to the prime at
You've been working on this one for a while. I
know you're a self sufficient farmer yourself, and you raise
your own cattle and you have it slaughtered and appreciate

(02:14:09):
the uh, the opportunity to enjoy some of that beef
thanks to my your your your your gift to my
son when he was out of your place. But what's
the prime act and does it have any chance of
moving through?

Speaker 12 (02:14:19):
By the way, your son helped me slaughter.

Speaker 2 (02:14:21):
Chickens that's right, he did.

Speaker 12 (02:14:23):
Yeah, we should have. We should have. The beef are
a little too hard to handle myself, so I did
take the into the processor. Thanks for saving the tastiest
part for last, Bryan. The Prime Act. So I'm reintroducing
this bill and it's you know, it's urgently needed. I
just look this fact up. US heard inventory of cols

(02:14:45):
the United States is lower than it's been in seventy
three years.

Speaker 3 (02:14:50):
Yeah, nineteen fifty.

Speaker 12 (02:14:52):
Yeah. So and why is that reason? Because it's harder
and harder and harder for farmers to make a profit.
All of the branchers, the profits are being made by
the four processors, two of them are four and owned
that process all the meat in the United States, practically
all the meat. And so what the Prime Act does

(02:15:13):
is it says that as long as you're complying with
state law and local health authorities, and you're not crossing
state lines, that you don't need the USDA to come
in and send a full time inspector with their own
office and their own bathroom in your small mom and
pop facility in order to process meat for your friends

(02:15:35):
and family and neighbors in the community. And I've got
some exciting news. Not only am I reintroducing the Prime Act,
which would allow it to be sold in local restaurants,
in local grocery stores, but I've got a pilot program
for the Prime Act that's in the base text of
the Farm Bill. I convinced the Chairman to last Congress

(02:15:57):
to allow this, and so it actually passed through the
Ag Committee and was in the BaseX of the Farm Bill. Unfortunately,
the Farm Bill did not pass. They haven't brought it up.
But if the Farm Bill passes, we've got a pilot
program for the Prime Act. Now, it wouldn't allow you
to sell it in restaurants or grocery stores, but it

(02:16:18):
would allow you to sell beef by the cut. This
is the key, beef by the cut and pork by
the cut from a local process or directly to consumers.
Right now, you have to buy half the cow to
do this.

Speaker 3 (02:16:31):
Yeah, isn't it crazy how micromanaged we are? And you know,
if it wasn't for one single Supreme Court case, the
federal government would have no control over things that aren't
involving interstate commerce. I mean, it's Wickered versus Philburn, where
they said anything that impacts commerce in the United States,
like grazing your own beef that impacts the available beef
herds generally speaking, ergo, the federal government can come in

(02:16:54):
and regulate it. That's a preposterous bastardization of the reality
of the constitution. This prime act involves beef that is
not sent out of state, locally processed, locally raised, locally grown,
locally slaughtered, and sold within the state. So you're not
even engaged in interstate commerce.

Speaker 12 (02:17:13):
Correct, So you know this is the what is it
the Revenge of Wickered v film?

Speaker 3 (02:17:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:17:22):
What Mike Lee calls it.

Speaker 12 (02:17:24):
I can't remember who was the defendant. There was it Philburn? Anyway?

Speaker 3 (02:17:31):
Yeah, growth growing weak on his own property. If I
recall correctly, then he was only using it for his
own home consumption, the ultimate independent farmer doing an independent
thing and not selling it, just using it for his
own consumption. And that opened the door for nationwide regulations
which have just gotten Oh my god, how out of
control has that case created for our growing, ever growing

(02:17:54):
federal government bureaucracy.

Speaker 12 (02:17:57):
It was Pandora's box. But we can put this back
back in the box for beef, pork, and lamb, and
most importantly, create a path to profitability for farmers instead
of getting out of the cattle business, they'll get into
cattle business and for consumers to buy good, locally raised beef.
And by the way, it's gonna get expensive you don't

(02:18:21):
start doing things like this. There's no amount of money
you can subsidize the beef industry with that's going to
make up for the prices that are coming. It's already
twenty dollars a pound at Kroger's I've seen. And what's happening, Brian,
is people when you know, when you have a calf,
it can be a heifer, it can be a bull,
and a bull usually becomes a steer and goes into

(02:18:42):
the meat part side of it, and a heifer is
sometimes put into meat and sometimes saves to be a
cow to raise more other cows. Well, the heifers are
getting processed right now as beef, like almost all of them,
so the the inventory of cows is decreasing. So it's
a self perpetuating thing. Cattle, you know, running cycles, but

(02:19:03):
we're an extremely long, extremely deep cycle where people are
selling their broodstock into the meat industry, which is just
gonna make prices more expensive. We got to get the
Primac Pass. That's why I'm introducing it again.

Speaker 3 (02:19:16):
Well, and I imagine if somebody like RFK Junior is
on your side on this, has pushed for local food,
you know, healthy raised foods, organic foods. I mean, if
you're buying it from your next door neighbor farmer, I
think you can put a lot of trust in that
because that farmer wants a good product out there so
he can support himself. This makes great sense. I hope
you wont.

Speaker 12 (02:19:36):
Yeah. I've talked to Bobby Kennedy about this. He loves it.
I wish he were the head of the USDA.

Speaker 3 (02:19:42):
Yeah, I know, but.

Speaker 12 (02:19:45):
And he's doing good work over there. Of all the
people battling the swamp, I think he's the one who's
made it to the deepest part of the swamp. It's
still not gone.

Speaker 3 (02:19:53):
Under Congressman Thomas Massey, great ideas, of course, as always
is the case, from Congressom MASSI appreciate your willingness to
come on the program and share your time with my
listeners and me. It's an enjoyable conversation and pointing out
that you're always doing the right thing for the American people.
Congress from Messy, thank.

Speaker 12 (02:20:09):
You, Brian, I'm sorry we're gonna miss the judge. He
could weigh in on Wickord v. Silbury.

Speaker 2 (02:20:14):
He could.

Speaker 3 (02:20:15):
We've talked about that many times over the years. We'll
get him up in a couple of weeks until our
next conversation. Best to healthy you and your family, my friend.

Throw me a curveball in a positive way. I look
up and then walk in the studio. Lynn Arnold, who's
really really a big supporter of the Northern Kentucky Young
Marines outstanding organization. Followed by my friend Joe Montgomery. And
there are a couple lucky man, Joe, is you got
kick your coverage? Brother Joe Montgomery from the Patriots Landing.

(02:21:58):
I've had him on many times and they brought his
son in Jake, Jake Good to have you in the studio, man,
do you work with with with Joe at Patriots Landing
doing the projects?

Speaker 9 (02:22:07):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 3 (02:22:09):
See. I didn't know the answer to that question before
I asked it, but I knew I was safe asking
it because I figured your dad got you involved in that.
What a great organization it is, Patriots Landing dot orger
is where you find them online. It's just this super
organization there for the benefit of veterans and actually veterans
families too, as I learned, it goes beyond veterans. You
have a woman whose husband served and she now is

(02:22:31):
working the uh the scroll saw at at the woodshop.

Speaker 9 (02:22:34):
Good memory, yep, goody. She's uh.

Speaker 17 (02:22:36):
We have nicknames for everybody, and we're in between Goodie
two shoes and Goodie something.

Speaker 9 (02:22:40):
I don't we haven't figured it out yet.

Speaker 17 (02:22:41):
But wonderful woman who lost her husband and it took
her about a year, yeah, coming in and showing interest
and just processing the death of her husband, who was
an Army veteran. Yeah, and she's in now twice a week, smiling,
and you know, she she we talk, you know, and
she talks to months about and she's still, of course
very lonely and a lot of the things that you

(02:23:03):
know a widower is going through. But it's it's it's
amazing to see the transformation, but.

Speaker 3 (02:23:11):
See and that's an illustration of the type of transformation
that like everyone who's who's involved with Patriot Landing goes through.
I mean, it's I don't want to call it fraternity
because I don't want to sort of negated, but it's
it's analogous to that. It's a collection of folks who
have a lot of things in common, most notably serviced
in the American military, and a lot of people who
serve struggle with, you know, issues emotional and otherwise. You

(02:23:33):
got a gang of folks right there that share your
interest and have an understanding your background, and you're all
like friends, I mean your friends. Oh yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:23:40):
Friendly camaraderie is the word. A matter of fact, Lynn
and Jake and I were just reviewing some information I
partnered last week with a veter known small business out
of Richmond, Kentucky. Luke Thomas is his name, you know,
it's pro Tactics and he's a marketing social media fella. Yeah,
and we just love love of supporting other small veteran

(02:24:02):
known nonprofits, nonprofit excuse me, businesses, businesses. But he sent us,
he sent me an email. We've talked for about two weeks,
and he sent me an email this morning about a
little bit of messaging, not rebranding, but messaging. And he
sent me three or four paragraphs, and I was just
blown away. Lynn was surprised that I was as conducive
to you know, a little bit of change and this

(02:24:24):
and that, but just some of the wording. He talked
about camaraderie and saw dust and healing and faith, and.

Speaker 9 (02:24:30):
It was amazing.

Speaker 17 (02:24:31):
So we're we're we're right now going to be repositioning
our message a little bit with Luke's guidance, an Army veteran,
and it's just so much fun.

Speaker 3 (02:24:40):
Ryan. Well, and you started this organization as a tribute
to your father, yes, sir, and I just an amazing
story on that. And you've grown the woodshops gotten larger,
You're making more and more products. And I'll recommend my
listeners as I always do, support the organization by one
of the gorgeous products they make, all patriotic themed. Although
you do have the the Cross religious team because you

(02:25:01):
are a religious based, yes base Christian faith based, so
you've got offerings there.

Speaker 9 (02:25:07):
Whatever that means to each individual exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:25:10):
There's no box, no, And if there's a faith box,
if there's a veteran out there, the ones to help
out in the wood shop, you're not gonna check his
card at the door before he walks in.

Speaker 9 (02:25:18):
Where's your God cards?

Speaker 12 (02:25:20):
Yeah? I know.

Speaker 3 (02:25:20):
Okay, see then we're gonna we're gonna dispense with that
notion right now. But they're they're operating, they operate everything,
and you can visit them, and I'll encourage you to
do that. I know a lot of people like to
go to the the the Arc, the Nose Arc, and
that exhibit is just right down the street from you
guys too.

Speaker 17 (02:25:35):
Right right around the corner, and we and we get
visitors from all over the country.

Speaker 9 (02:25:39):
It's an interesting phenomenon.

Speaker 17 (02:25:41):
And you and mine may have talked about this before,
but a lot of times people feel they have to
travel to see cools things. I gotta go to Gatlinburg,
I gotta go to Branson. I have to I have
to go three or four hundred miles to see something cool.
It's a phenomenon, it's a it's a real thing. Yeah,
when we have regardless of your faith. Again, we talked
about this. The ARC is an incredible facility just from

(02:26:01):
its woodworking and it's it's building and it's structure, and yes,
everything has offered. And then there's us right around the corner,
which we get all the time. Oh my gosh, I
didn't know this was here. This is so wonderful what
you're doing, and we get it from people all over
the country.

Speaker 3 (02:26:14):
So it's a two for you. Get a bus tour
going down to the Ark, he gets zip around the
corner and heading over to the Patriots Landing and check
out what you guys are doing.

Speaker 9 (02:26:20):
Every time, Yes, sir, and.

Speaker 3 (02:26:21):
I'll bet you sell a few things to those folks
that come by to visit too.

Speaker 17 (02:26:24):
I can honestly say, uh, and that's not one of
my favorite comments, you know, to be honest with you,
I don't like that one. But in the two and
a half three years we've been open, I've had one
person come into our facility and not purchase something, So
you know, and it's not that you know, it's not
in a sense of guilt. We want to support ours

(02:26:46):
guys well and everything that is made by the veterans there.
Their name is on it, so you have this connection.
There's a veteran out there. I got his name. It's
on the back of this cross I have. It's on
the back of the the nine flag, which is made
with the little nine millimere spent shell casings.

Speaker 3 (02:27:01):
I think that's the coolest thing. I've got one of those.
You got the bourbon barrel flag. Now, that's probably the
spad out of my of my screened in porch. I
sit next to it every single day, So I think
about you guys, so and I just I just get
so excited talking about your organization because you know, I
try to do what I can for the American veteran.
You're doing it every single day and so successfully. And
I like the idea that you're doing this outreach, like

(02:27:24):
to spread the word. One hand washes another. Your organization
for veterans, other organizations out there for veterans. You share
the wealth, you share the information, and of course all
of it better fits the American veterans.

Speaker 17 (02:27:34):
And it's really just it's just just a snowball. Yeah,
just talking to you regularly, It's just it's just the
snowball is getting very large. And speaking of signing things though,
it's a pretty good transition. But that's that's the first
thing I think that has my signature on it.

Speaker 3 (02:27:50):
This out of the shop. This is what he's talking
about in my hot little hand here. Patriots Landing straight
Bourbon whiskey. Last time you were on, you let people
know that this is going to be a for sale
very limited quantities. How many total bottles exist on the planet?

Speaker 17 (02:28:05):
Eighty eight And that's that's pressure memory, Yes, sir, yes, sir,
past age eighty eight lost pops very suddenly at eighty eight.
That's Jake's Papaul, who was a proud marine. And uh
we made eighty eight of them. And uh I have
number one, I know you do, and now you have
number two.

Speaker 3 (02:28:21):
I am so honored. I really true. What are you
thinking about that label? I love it, man, I like
you know.

Speaker 17 (02:28:28):
The only thing is I'm not going to drink this now.
I know you know me well enough to know that
I can't draw a straight line with a rulers. So
who do you think designed that beautiful label? I'm going
to go with Lynn.

Speaker 3 (02:28:38):
You would be cracked. I said, you out kicked your coverage.
Will Patriots Landing dot org folks, I think there's just
a few bottles left, right, A couple of bottles act
now or you're going to regret it and I again,
I'll just have this sitting up on my shelf, and
honor of patriots landing as a fun token. Uh, and
certainly appreciation for having bottle number two. Now, let's talk

(02:28:59):
to Lynn. Let's put it over. We're just going to
go along in this segment because I want to get
an update on what's going with the Northern Kentucky Young Marines.
What an outstanding organization. You've got the best kids in
that group. They are so polite, they are so wonderful
to talk to, they are so confident in themselves. It's
just an outstanding organization.

Speaker 9 (02:29:17):
It gives us all hope for the future as well.

Speaker 3 (02:29:19):
It really does. And your daughter's a shining example of
what comes to Let my listeners remind my listeners about
your daughter and where what she's up to right now.

Speaker 15 (02:29:27):
My daughter was the national Young Marine of the Year
back in twenty thirteen fourteen. Then she got an appointment
to the US Coast Guard Academy, where she graduated as
the top military cadet. Some things came along that ended
up she did not commission but she went to work
for Lockheed Martin. Oh wow, graduated with a wonderful degree.
I'm sure stry working for Lockey Martin. Worked for them

(02:29:47):
for five years and now she's a civilian for the
Navy up in DC. She travels all over the country,
all over the world.

Speaker 3 (02:29:54):
Man, time has flown. M I remember when she was
just this tall and when she first had her in here.
That is absolutely wonderful And what are just an amazing
young lady she is, but just one of the multitude
of Northern Kentucky Young Marines. And it's a hell of
a great program. Do you think of off hand? Can
do you near the website that I can let my listeners.

Speaker 15 (02:30:15):
Know NKY Young Marines dot com.

Speaker 3 (02:30:17):
NKY Young Marines dot com. Now, do you need to
live in Northern Kentucky to be a member of commute
across the bridge?

Speaker 15 (02:30:24):
Yes, we allow outsiders. We have kids from Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana. Actually, one of our families is so dedicated
to it their third child, isn't it right now? And
they come two hours each way for every drill or
parade or whatever we do.

Speaker 3 (02:30:38):
That is a testament to the program right there, And
let my listeners know what their young people will experience
if they get involved in the program.

Speaker 9 (02:30:46):
So the minimum age is eight.

Speaker 15 (02:30:48):
They just have to be eight by the start of
recruit training, which is you know, in quotes boot camp
for our young Marines. You have to go through a
recruit training, pass the tests, and then you graduate to
be a young Marine typically seven eight weeks later. It's
Saturday based, it's weekend based. But they will learn military
American history, they learn how to march, they learn military jargon.

(02:31:10):
They increase their health standards. Obviously, we work on pt
and healthy drug free lifestyles. We have guest speakers in.
We work on life skills and field skills anything. I mean,
your listeners, if somebody wants to come teach our kids,
you know, we teach you know how to change a
tires safely on the side of the road, or how
to shoot arrows or you know, proper stands for shooting

(02:31:31):
positions or fishing, setting up shelters, whatever it is, we
love it.

Speaker 3 (02:31:37):
It's it's don't want a new gate from the Kentucky
Young Rings. It sounds a lot like the skills you learned,
maybe like a scouting camp or a scouting kind of thing, right.

Speaker 9 (02:31:45):
Valuable scouts on steroids.

Speaker 3 (02:31:47):
Two scouts on steroids. It's better than boy scouts, you
got to say. I'll say, it's standards and levels and
expectations and all of that.

Speaker 15 (02:31:57):
And then they earn their rank and they can earn
trips and opportunit unities. Obviously they meet great people. But
like we have one right now in Rhode Island at
Drill and Ceremonies School, learning from you know, Marine Corps
drill instructors how to properly march and call cadence and
do color guard and fold a flag. And then we
have another, our senior Abby Smith, who you've had on
the show. She's out in the Grand Tetons on a

(02:32:19):
wilderness adventure, out there hiking and you know who knows
kayaking or repelling.

Speaker 8 (02:32:23):
I have no idea what she's doing.

Speaker 7 (02:32:24):

you're going to be amazed at how what this is
a transformational kind of organization.

Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (02:32:44):
I mean, you're turning these young people into true patriots, good.

Speaker 15 (02:32:47):
Kids into great leaders is the.

Speaker 3 (02:32:48):
Our motto, and that is the key to success in life.
