at the back of his eyelids right now, isn't he? Yeah, Yes, indeed, yeah, yesterday,

(01:26):
I don't know why I even bothered. I didn't have
I have a list of the live spots I do.
And when I'm supposed to mention a live spot, like
you know, at eight fifteen, you know, talk about Rhino
shield or something, and Joe puts that together and didn't.
He didn't put them together before he left because he
didn't have the list. So Danny does that when Joe's
not here. But anyway, like four o'clock in the morning,

(01:49):
I didn't have that, and I'm like, oh my god,
where am I going to get my spot lists? I
said Joe a text Harry's got in his hand. Thank you, Dan,

(03:15):
Inside Scoop of Bright bart News Ministry of Culture and COO.
John Kahn also happened to be a Nashville singer and songwriter.
He wrote and sang Fighter, which went to the Billboard
Top List number sort to number one, number one. So
there should be an interesting conversation with John Kahan covering

(03:38):
from the inside scoop of Bright Barton News, followed by
the Daniel Davis deep dive. Lord, almighty, what in the
hell is going on? World War three breaking out? We
have Ukrainian military logistics and supplies disrupted by Russian's drone campaign.
We have you an ambassador Mike Waltz recently appointed, talking
about defending every inch of NATO territory. After Russian jets

(04:00):
flew into Estonia, Great I got a whole pack of jets.
Russian MiG thirty one jets flew deep into Estonian airspace,
NATO country. You know, we have a defense agreement with them,
you know, So if there's a if I suppose that
Stony starts launching missiles and shoots down Russian MiGs, then

(04:21):
we probably are going to be in the middle of
a shooting war with Russia. I'm looking forward to seeing
what Daniel Davis has to say about that retired lieutenant
colonel with the war update eight thirty asked the expert,
my dear friend Austin from Foreign Exchange about getting your
car ready for winters. Some really truly helpful hints and
tips to well take care of your car, which is

(04:41):
extraordinarily important anyhow. But I'm bump, bump bump. Let's just
start locally. It's a pretty positive devote from my friends
in Butler County. Apparently they have their act together in
Butler County. Unlike Handl County, we could draw some distinct

(05:01):
differences between Hamilton Butler County. But Butler County Commissioners passed
the new property tax legislation during a special meeting yesterday,
which will save about one hundred dollars per one hundred
thousand dollars home value for those folks who qualify for it,
describing it as a well hit hard by record high
property tax bills over the last few years, Butler County

(05:24):
residents will receive what they called an unprecedented break next year.
I think it's only for a calendar year, So the
commissioners voted yesterday to rollback that as in not collect
half of their inside millage, saving property owners about twelve
and a half million dollars on next year's property tax bills. That,

(05:44):
according to County Auditor Nancy Nicks and the County Commissioners,
the third time in the past five years they have
voted to roll back taxes. They had the luxury of
that in Butler County because of the increasing population and
amazing tax base, something Bill Sitz pointed out in the reporting. Anyway,
we'll get to him in a moment. They also extend

(06:06):
the quote unquote homestead program locally. This will say locally,
that's just in Butler County, saving residential property owners seven
point six million dollars. So anyone currently on the homestead
program and who qualifies based on income, we'll see their
homestead credit doubled, paid for by all taxing districts, which

(06:27):
have to give up a little percentage of their revenue.
So everyone's going to struggle. That gets property tax to
fund whatever it is it funds commission President Don Dixon.
We cannot wait for the state of Ohio to keep talking.
Our taxpayers demand action now. It is extremely important to
Butler County because this is the only way we can
keep people in their homes wait for it. This veiled

(06:50):
threat runs throughout the reporting and the discussion about this rollback.
Only way to keep people in their homes un until
we get a constitutional amendment draft that in circulated that
will force them to give us tax relief. Of course,
that's got to refer to the top property or the
constitutional amendment that repeals all property taxes, which I keep

(07:15):
saying is going to be a Charlie foxtrot of a
nightmare to deal with if we do, in fact four
go property taxes. I'm not against the concept. I hate
property taxes, but the devils in the details. Someone explained
to me how that's going to work anyway. Count of
the auditor talking with Fox nineteen and again credit to

(07:37):
the local reporter. We have local reporting, Thank you Jennifer
Baker and Ken Brown. Anyway, Butler kind of the only
kind in the state who have decided to take advantage
of this option. The option is referring to was provided
in the state budget. One of the things that Governor
de Wine didn't line. Item veto provides a local as
in county homestead option that would double the homestead exemption

(07:59):
in any low income or disabled residents. The one that
disabled and low income residents receive. So you have to
be in that qualifying category for this homestead extension. It's
now doubled. If your county chooses to double it. In
other words, if your county can afford to give up
the tax revenue, then hopefully they will vote to do so.
Butler kind of the first one to apparently exercise this option,

(08:20):
and that's something the county auditor said. Butler kind of
the only county in the state who have decided to
take advantage of this option past June thirty. If most counties,
I'm told are not considering it. Out of nearly six
hundred and seventy seven million dollars county wide in collections,
seven point six million in loss revenue, which is what's
going to happen with this, equals a one point one

(08:41):
percent cut. Also, they're giving up more than three hundred
thousand dollars in revenues to the county's general fund with
this homes homestead decision. Ultimately in a budget of almost
seven hundred million dollars, not a significant amount. Has noted
that they're doing a good job hold the line on

(09:02):
salary increases. They instituted a two year hiring freeze. In
Butler County, they turned back to millage in two twenty
twenty four while having the lowest sales tax rate, the
highest bond rating on their debt, and they paid off
their general fund debt. Congratulations Butler County, setting an example

(09:23):
for the rest of the counties in the state of Ohio.
County auditor said, it's going to be a little bit
of a challenge. We've got to do some work for
the software provider, got to make some changes to the
tax bills. They got to do income verification to make
sure the folks that are qualifying for this actually qualified.
But ultimately, apparently, according to the auditor, not a big

(09:45):
problem regardless. I think providing this relief to those least
able to pay is a solid decision. A lot of
how much our county has pushed for reform, it's important
that we as a county put our money where our
mouth is. Auditor said local homestead option will mean forced
cuts to local taxing districts, including the county's general fund,
all social service agencies, schools, et cetera. Nick said, by

(10:08):
my calculation, it's about one point one percent. Mentioned that four,
which won't be popular for most most districts which receive
money from the property tax. As for the homestead folks,
they're gonna be really happy about it, Nick said. Yet,
these continued property tax increases are unsustainable, and if the
county can provide some relief, it's reasonable to do. So.

(10:29):
What a wonderful thing for an elected official it by
way of position to adopt. Next pointed out, I've been
around since two thousand and seven, but mostly since twenty twenty.
I can tell you Butler County has always been on
the forefront of fighting these outlandish tax increases. Nick said.
I heard this as county treasured. It only escalated when

(10:49):
I became auditor in early twenty twenty three when the
Ohio Tax Commissioner required us to move values up by
you all remember it thirty seven percent. Ohio County lawmakers
have been relentlessly fighting this at the state level, but
have encountered resistance at every step. Here comes to criticisms.

(11:12):
They finally reach consensus with DU twenty twenty five biennial budget,
but then the governor took an ax to any substantive remedies.
Our lawmakers worked to override those vetos, but were unsuccessful.
For the ones that would provide real relief. Here we
go again with the reference with the constitutional amendment to

(11:36):
a limit property taxes looming over the state in twenty
twenty six. I think the legislature and the governor are
finally coming around for reform, and we are hopeful that
legislation will pass the limit the growth of tax bills. However,
that is uncertain. Our county commissioners, namely Commissioner Diction, have
been outspoken and tireless in the need for reform. All right,

(11:59):
all this in the background, and see Governor de wine
Veto's little tax relief was in the budget. Then he
puts together his select panel, which includes Bill Sitz, Pat DeBerry,
and the Ohio Business round Table. They're gonna solve it.
Just wait for it. Now. Bear in mind that a
year's worth of work on property tax relief had already

(12:20):
been done leading up to the twenty twenty five budget.
I guess all those reforms, several of which were included
in the budget, but well, Governor de wine vetoed them.
So we're gonna start from scratch. Hm. So, but the
kind of leaders say this not gonna It won't come

(12:41):
in time to help property owners. This Select Panel. So
we've got to do something now, which is why they
voted yesterday. Did do something, Commissioner Dixon, you cannot expect
this Governor Committee to do anything different than they did
all this year. They are a do nothing group and
they have always put politics first. Ooh, what does Bill Site's,

(13:03):
former House Minority Speaker and member of this select committee
have to say? Mister Dixon would be well advised to
hold his tongue until the panel issues its recommendations. Sites said,
since the majority of our members are county elected officials,
including three commissioners in other Ohio counties, the panels recommendations

(13:25):
will be on time to the Governor's decks next week,
he promised, also pointing out that gee Butler County didn't
like the rest of the counties in Ohio. They have
a growing population, strong property tax base, a lot of
commercial and residential property. Most counties not in the same boat.
Many taxing districts such as townships, don't enjoy as many
revenue sources as counties do, making inside millage of greater

(13:48):
importance to them. Doesn't this all suggest it is a
Charlie foxtrot of a mechanism to collect taxes. Generally speaking,
I guess it's a question of where you live, isn't it,
And that's never the case, Sites said. Legislator vote of

(14:08):
GIN to allow counties to expand the state homestead exemption,
albeit only if done at local expense. See that's why
Butler County's taking it on the chin, to a tune
of one point one percent less revenue for the people
who enjoyed the largest of property taxes. Sites pointed out
the governor did not veto that provision the doubling of

(14:29):
the homestead exemption, so Butler County's treated to what has
apparently decided to do with homestead exemption. Although Sites did
say the Panels recommendations will expand what Butler County's doing
in many ways. Most notably, he said, we are likely,
in other words, they've got the list of proposals, which
is due by the end of the month, which is
fast approaching. We are likely to mandate a cap on

(14:51):
the tax receipts throwing from a periodic reevaluation, such that
whenever the home property values increase at a rate higher
than the eneral rate of inflation, which is the root
cause of the current situation. So that's a little glimmer of
hope right there. Property taxes will not increase beyond the
rate of inflation. That could be welcome relief considering somebody
else might be getting a thirty seven percent increase in

(15:13):
the property tax bills. Fifty five cares of thetalk station.
Jay is on the phone. We'll get your call. Just
a second, J I'll be right back five twenty three
on a Tuesday. Happy one too. You're going to go
straight to the phone's giving you amount of time leapons
the segment. Jay, Thanks for calling this morning. Always a
pleasure hearing from you.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Hey, good morning, Brian. Hey. I'm going to take the
other side of the argument of Charlie Foxtrot. If we
cut the property tax. And here's why this is. This
is not new for a society or a first world country,
if we still are one. Most businesses big businesses, and

(15:53):
I'll call the state of Ohio big business, but many
of them have a process in place where monthly they
sit take a look at what is my demand coming in,
how is it fluctuating, What is my supply people, material,
and what impact is this supply demanding balances?

Speaker 6 (16:12):
I look at into the future, what's.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
That going to have on my revenue, and they make
adjustments and they're forced to do it if you want
to stay in business. Dato Ohio has never or any
government entity has never had to do that, and so
they can do it. It's just what's strange this time
is they're going to be forced to do it instead
of talk about it. And they have plenty of money. Again,

(16:37):
I will point out if you take a look at
our neighbors to the east, Pennsylvania, they have an economy
that is a well one hundred billion bigger than Ohio,
and their annual budget is what we pay for Medicaid
for Medicare, it's forty five billion dollars in Pennsylvania with
a one trillion dollar economy. Ohio has one hundred and

(16:58):
twenty billion dollars with a nine dollar a GDP. So
we have plenty of room to cut. And it starts
with the schools. Schools are seventy percent of your of
your property tax. Take a look at your school and
compare what it is now versus when you were in school,
Like there's now a middle school there didn't used to

(17:19):
be in middle school when I was in school, And
I guess it depends on.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
The size of the school.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Every school has a middle school, Every school has a
brand new building. Every school has the college level of
football field with a jumbo tron, all the electronics as
millions of dollars going into I won't even call it athletics.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
It's a football tax.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
Every one of those.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
You have a the the the the.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Middle school, the high school and elementary school all have
a principal, a vice principal, and now I'm hearing about
a dean of students, and then over top of that
is a superintendent. Amount of overhead in these schools is sickening.
But I'm glad to hear a man, Bill Sykes is
on on the job because he was the guy who

(18:04):
was going to give free school breakfast and lunch, and
because he said, when you think about it, it'll actually
save money. Yeah, this is the guy that they chose
to be a stasks for.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
So you see what you're describing. Looking at just the schools,
is this ridiculous expansion of stuff and things. If I
can just boil it down to that, the expectations for
people on what they want from a school has increased dramatically,
and the same thing with government over time. Look at
how quote unquote limited government used to be. You didn't

(18:34):
have government to turn to for a multitude of things.
Little by little, over time, we kept digging ourselves deeper
in the whole, offering more free stuff and things, more
services from government, more promises to fix things, to solve problems,
or provide handouts and give you know, uplifting help to
those in need. It's all supposed to be temporary and
to get out of a hole, and then it becomes

(18:55):
a permanent program. Look at the funding levels from COVID nineteen.
You got Chucky Schumer to extend that level of funding
when we don't have an a pandemic anymore. Once you
reach a certain level of funding, it doesn't go down,
it just keeps going up. It's time for a little
belt tagening. Look, Butler County is willing to do it
and cut one point one percent, as little as that
may be. But everybody who gets property tax money is

(19:17):
going to have to deal with one point one percent less.
Oh boo, who do you think they can survive? Jay?

Speaker 7 (19:22):
Do you? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (19:24):
It's a rounding error in any real business, one point
one percent is a rounding error where you yawn and
you move on. And furthermore, there was a Supreme Court
decision twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Now explain that to me, Brian, as.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
A lawyer, any training that you had where you where
did you learn that whenever a judgment comes down from
the bench, that you can delay that decision for twenty years?

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (19:50):
Trump, you push your finger on that part of the law.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Trump's the one that ignores the Supreme Court, even though
he actually doesn't. Yeah, it's the state of Ohio who,
for the past couple of decades has ignored the will
of the Supreme Court and finding that the current funding
mechanism for schools is unconstitutional. No, I can't answer that question, Jay,
and I have not encountered a single politician who's been
able to address that at all here in the Morning show.
And I've asked that question a multitude of times over

(20:13):
the years. It's crazy, man.

Speaker 7 (20:15):
Okay, with our Republican Party and don't know it's not.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Don't vote Democratic and be careful about which Republicans you
are voting for.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
No kidding, man, well said.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Appreciated Jays five point twenty eight. If you five caresy
Detalk Station five thirty three on a Tuesday, Happy Tuesday,
going to go straight to the Phones's got a couple
of callers online and a limited amount of time in
the segment in the order in which they received, meaning
Keith is first time. Hang on, Keith, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 8 (20:43):
Hi about your comment about what's going on? Is World
War three getting ready to break out? It's funny you
said that because of a fact that one hundred and
forty countries in the United Nations are saying they're going
to vote on a resolution that there should be a
Palestinian state, Yeah, which which is the modern day equivalent

(21:08):
in revelation about the world turning on Israel, and after
that Armageddon's going to take place. Well, you know, it's
it's just where you said that. It's with that stuff
and also with all the anti Semitism going on in
the world right now on top of this one hundred

(21:30):
and forty country stuff, that's sort of almost like a
scary uh pre saying about maybe armageddon breaking out.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I am now sixty years old, and I have heard
statements to that effect many times in my life. I've
also heard into the world pronouncements many times in my life.
Never have they proven to be true. I understand where
you're coming from. But yeah, I'm I'm I'm in the
camp that is going to err on the side of optimism. Uh,
don't believe that the end times are in front of

(22:01):
us right now. So that's just me, and I'm entitled
to my own belief systems. I choose not to believe
that that is impending because that would make me depressed
all the time. I'd be showered with I'd be gloom
and doom twenty four to seven, And I choose not
to live my life in that direction. So, yeah, we
can observe the craziness going on in the world. We
can guess what that might suggest. But I'm not in

(22:22):
the camp that believes it's the end of times. But
certainly appreciate your observations. Man, everybody's entitled in an opinion
and concern about what we're living through. Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (22:33):
Okay, another thing too, in regards to that, there's old
Middle Eastern profits that say after that, some weird will
happen in the Middle East, either in the Valley of
the Shadow of Death area, the Red Sea, or the
megdo Planes area. After that happens.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I know there's a lot of people that wrote predictions
about the future in the past. Sometimes we rely on
them and sometimes we don't. Usually, with hindsight, we go
back and find a proclamation that seems to line up
with something that actually happened and give them a noster domus,
like pat on the back for saying, Wow, we saw
we had someone who could foresee the future. I don't
believe people can see the future either. So you and

(23:15):
I can disagree on what past pronouncements or even write
it down. Now, predict something, write it down, and then
one hundred years from now, if what you predicted turns true,
then we will call you noster domas. Just the thought.
By forty one on a Tuesday, Happy one to you,
brid Thomas here five one three seven nine fifty five
hundred eight hundred eight two three talk or or pound
five fifty on AT and T phones. I'm going to

(23:37):
go to the phone. See what Tom's got this morning.
I think I know one thing he's got. Welcome back, Tom,
Always a pleasure hearing from you.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Good good morning. And you just can't leave Joe Striker alone,
can you?

Speaker 9 (23:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I can't down down in Florida.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
No, you know, I don't have to leave Maloney's asleep
right now, he doesn't know anything I'm saying about him.
He deserves a vacation. Tom, I will tell you he
deserves a vacation, so you ain't lying. I hope he
is as happy as he can possibly be right now.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
He was telling me something about a pool that has
a bar at the pool.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yes, he told me. I think he sent me a
text yesday get ready to go to the pool bar.
Reminded me of putting bay at the pool bar and
putting bay gross.

Speaker 10 (24:25):
He is.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
He is literally living the dream. So that's great. Good
for him, so uh, not not much gets uh gets
Jay worked up as much as school property town being
used for school right, So the football tax, that's that's great.
And I really appreciate all the all the research he
does and looks into stuff and then comes on and

(24:47):
educates this. I really appreciate that. So uh And and
as far as Keith is concerned, regardless of what you
believe about end times, just work like work today and
keep fighting to like like. It doesn't matter exactly, it
doesn't matter that, keep fighting, keep doing what you gotta do,
keep doing the right thing, and keep spreading the word

(25:09):
or whatever message you think you have.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
Thank you don't give up.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
We don't want to. We don't want to just give up,
even if we knew it was going to be tomorrow.
You know, if you if you're one of those wants us.
You know, we got souls that need to be saved.
We'll get out there and talk to them. You know, Yeah,
let them know what you think.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
That's my That's the same auntitude I have. I mean,
if you knew tomorrow was the end of the d
the end of the world, how would you live today?
Would you be better? Would you be nicer, kinder? Would
you be worried about your afterlife? Your future? You're you're,
you're you're. I mean, is there a heaven? Is there
a hell? You'd be contemplating your eternal existence. You think
it's going to be all over and your party like
it's nineteen ninety nine. I mean, there's a million ways
you can do with it. Thinking of long term future

(25:46):
gets thrown out the door when you think it's all
going to come crashing down on you in a moment's time.
I mean, you give up on fighting anything that relates
to the future. To your point, tom and it's an
excellent point, right.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Uh, as far as this whole party tax thing. And
you know, you give politicians, and I say politicians because
it really doesn't matter what side of the dollar on.
You give politicians access to a big pot of money.
They don't want to give any of them. They even
if they act like they're giving some of it up,
they're finding a way to get more some other way.

(26:21):
And a politician, when they get elected, their most important
job is to get re elected. And how do they
get reelected, Well, they're going to have to spend some
of your money to do that. They're going to have
to make somebody happy by making some project happen, or
somebody is going to get you know, money, extra money
put in their.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Pockets so they can have a rib, so they can
have a rimon cutting ceremony, to expand the size and
the scope of government and the things over which they
must maintain and upkeep with future tax dollars. That's how
we got to where we are today. Tom, You're exactly right,
going back to my point about how do the hell
do the schools get so opulent ostentatious to become like,
you know, country clubs on a high school level. Certainly

(27:01):
colleges have gone way way the hell over the cop
of that country club environment. So yeah, I mean we
could go on on and then the size and the
scope of government collectively because of the point you make, Yeah,
politicians steal. They have to deliver and give you some bright,
shining new object to justify their existence without thinking about
the future and who's going to pay for it.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Right exactly. That's it. And what we need is people
who who who don't care about that kind of thing.
What they care about is making sure you keep more
of your money, and that's that's just very hard to find.
I think vivek Ramaslammy is one of those kind of people.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
I think he is like that. I think that's what
he's about. I believe in when he says stuff like that,
And we got to find more people like that to
work with him because he can't do it all by himself.
Although although our our fearless governor that we have now
feels like he can do everything by himself. I mean,
they're doing nothing. They're doing nothing but putting more money
in the conference so they can do whatever the hell

(27:58):
it is they're doing with it. So yeah, watch out
who you vote for. Don't vote for rhinos play very
close attention, and please don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian,
you go.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
The admonishment has just expanded a little bit. Five forty six.
Right now. If do you have KRCD talk station, your
calls or stack is stupid. Either way we go. It's
okay with me, right back. Five fifty one fifty five
KRCD talk station. Dive into the stack is stupid. This morning,
I'll forget inside scoop at bright Bart News and Daniel
Davis Deep Dive in the eight o'clock hour. Eric Conroy,

(28:31):
GOP candidate for Congress versus Dreig Lambsy at seven oh five.
Calls are always welcome. But let's go to Kingsport, Miami,
where we have a guy who fostered around twenty children
arrested after authorities found child pornography on his phone. He
was getting back from a cruise with his family. He
Jason Allen Miller, forty eight, arrested in charge with transportation

(28:51):
of child pornography and possession of child porn Affidavid and
Federal Court filed says Miller returned to the United States
at Port Miami over the weekend. He was in the
Cayman Islands on a cruise reportedly selected for secondary inspection
by US Customs and Border Protection. They inspected Miller's personal property,

(29:13):
including a Samsung Galaxy cell phone, after Miller provided the
passcode to unlock the device. Some legal expert out there
know if the border patrol folks can demand and require
you to provide the passcode anyway, he did. While searching
the device quote pursuant to Border search authority clothes quote.

(29:34):
I think that quote anticipates my question about the legality
of this. Anyway, officers found several photos of suspected child
sex abuse material in the device's saved Google Photos APT.
Special agent with Homeland Security Investigations reported observing a screenshot
of a folder named quote six yo space rare six

(29:58):
year old. Yeah, that's the same reaction I had Danny,
containing multiple photos of child sexual abuse material. Cord to
the affidavit, Miller admitted to knowing there was child porn
on his device. He was traveling with his pregnant wife
and eight children aged five through twelve, seven of whom

(30:20):
were adopted by Miller and had been previously fostered children
in the Miller households care. As mentioned before, Miller had
fostered around twenty children in his home over the past
seven years. Arrested by the US Marshall Service, booked into
the Broward County Jail. According to the Sheriff's office, we'll
just go ahead and give him honorary mention for the
biggest douche of the universe. Three people identified now charged

(30:44):
after charges spending rather after a coach was shot during
a baseball game court of the Walla County Sheriff's Office.
This is Katie, Texas. They responded to reports of his
shooting near the Amara Park baseball field Sunday afternoon, where

(31:05):
they found a twenty seven year old coach who'd been
shot in the shoulder. Corner of the investigators, three people
were shooting in a nearby pasture in the direction of
the baseball field while a youth game was taking place.
One eleven year old interviewed, I had to legit bear
crawl to my mom on my arms. Coaches Alex Smith

(31:29):
and Corbyn Geisendorf of the Texas Coal help players and
their families to safety after the shots rang out. Video
obtained by local news shows the scene as adults guided
children away from the fields coaches told local news they
heard a faint gun fire at the same complex the
day before, but Sunday shots were much closer, close enough
that a stray round in fact struck a coach. Parents

(31:52):
at the tournament say the incident's raising questions about where
youth sports complexes are situated in whether fields are too
close to areas where hunting or shooting occurs. Think Texas
colt organizations that will be more selective about where the
team plays games and tournaments going forward. WSA three people
accused the shooting of been identified. Charges of deadly conduct

(32:12):
and other offenses are pending. Well. As a responsible shooter,
I would take a good thorough look at my general
environment before it started squeezing off rounds. Is that too
much to ask? Danny? No, it isn't right. I know,
and it's yeah, I know. It's five. That's why it's
in the stick.

Speaker 11 (32:32):
Stupid.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Coming to five afty six fifty five KRCD talk station.
Lots of talk about in the six o'clock hour. You
can feel free to steer the direction of the conversation.
Be right back after the news. It's six o five
the fifty five KRCD talk station. My name is Brian Thomas,
host to the fifty five KRC Morn Show. Appreciate you
tuning in, and I appreciate Danny Gleason covering for the
vacationing and probably sleeping. We've all presumed Joe Strecker, who's

(32:55):
enjoying a little stay in Florida for his rest and relaxation. Joe,
if you are week and I doubt it, I hope
you're having a great time taking your having your time off.
Coming up at the fifty five Casey Morning Show one
hour from now, Eric Conroy, GOP candidate for Congress running
against Great Gang of five Landsman seven oh five. Get
a couple of segments with Eric, and then the inside

(33:16):
scoop at Bright Barton News up at eight five today,
we're gonna hear from John Cohn, described as the Hold
had a bunch of notes on John Minister of Culture.
This is more notes for a guest from Breitbart than

(33:36):
I've ever got. Danny Minister of Culture and coo. He
also is apparently a number one digital Billboard song singer.
Songwriter The song Fighter took him to number one on Billboard,
So I asked Danny to see if he could find
that song. We'd use it for a bumper when he
joins the program, and I got a nod from Danny.
You were successful in that great Danny. So I have

(33:59):
not heard the song before, so we'll get a little
bit of that as we introduced John Connadado five. Then
we're gonna hear from Daniel Davis with a deep dive.
Get the latest on the war updates, got Ukrainian military
logistics and supplies disrupting the Russian Russian drone campaign. Also
have some other rather concerning things, like, for example, u
an ambassador Mike Waltz promising the United States will defend

(34:21):
every inch of NATO territory, this on the heels of
Russian jets flying into Estonia.

Speaker 12 (34:29):
No.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
I don't think end of times aer tomorrow. But when
we start wrestling with a global power, nuclear power like Russia,
who is already aligned with China and some of our
other noted foes, we got a real problem on our
hands in terms of global politics, which that problem is
not going to go away anytime soon anyhow. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk

(34:50):
or pound five fifty on AT and T phones glad
to see things in Ohio looking really good. Two top
Republicans in Ohio endorsing each other. We have John houstaed hmmm.
Senator Houstead is backing v. V Ramaswami. VV Ramaswamy backing
John Housted, So we have a mutual admiration fest going

(35:13):
on here. Vv said, I'm proud to back John Houston
for US Senate. Wonderful and of course we have John
represents Ohio values. He's a common sense leader who I've
known for years. He's a fighter for our families and
our freedom. So carry Ohim's voice to Washington without compromise.
Housted said of vv Vveke has articulated bold ideas for

(35:35):
our state, and I believe his vision for excellence aligns
closely with the priorities of Ohioans that we expect and deserve.
I'm proud to endorse my friend vivike Ramaswami to be
the next governor of the state of Ohio. I feel
pretty if there's anything I feel very strongly about Governor
VvE Ramaswamy, and of course Senator John Houstead will continue
out his term, So that looks good. I'm glad to

(35:57):
see that We're no going to have a lot of infighting,
So anyway, good news on that. Vvike Ramaswamy nabbing the
Teamsters endorsement endorsement last week, which is great, International Brotherhood
of Teamsters endorsing Republican candidate vvike Ramaswami. Hmm. How about
that endorsement from the HIGHO Conference of Teamsters representing more

(36:19):
than fifty thousand workers read voters, part of the broader
international Brotherhood of Teamsters organization. Noteworthy because it's the third
labor group to endorse vv Ramaswami, after previously backing Tim
Ryan for Senate. I don't know why they got that
one anyway. At CORNA Patrick J. Darrow in a press release,

(36:41):
he said, our members want a leader who will fight
with for good paying jobs and strengthen the future for
a house working families. Vveke has demonstrated a commitment to
listening to labor and partnering with us to deliver real results,
and would look forward to working with him. Great, and
it's among a broader shift of unions leaning toward Republican
candidates in getting away from the elitist, snobby, woke liberal democrats.

(37:05):
My words, not theirs. And speaking of that, the teamsters
aren't the only ones. This is an interesting one. New
York Times reported Yester last week described as a devastating
New York Times report release Wednesdays show that of the
thirty states that actually maintained voter straight voter registration records

(37:25):
by political party, Democrats fell behind in all of them
between twenty twenty and twenty four elections. Republicans up four
and a half million voters compared to Democrats. H Democratic
strategies that he Vail interviewed by. I believe it was
the Hill on this one, or maybe New York Times.

(37:46):
I think it should be an alarm for the party.
I think it's a real problem, stating the obvious, mister Vail.
And it's just the latest data point suggesting the party
has lost its way. New York Times data mister Vail
well noted a span of voters, including people of different
races and ages, we're leaving the Democrat Party. Is worry

(38:09):
is that all of these different kinds of voters feel
like the Democratic Party left them, including notably the unions
who've been the big Democrats stronghold for so long. People
of color always leaning Democrat. We know the statistics, More
and more folks are opening their minds and realizing they've
been brainwashed by this message that you ain't like, for example,

(38:30):
Joe Biden, and how insulting was that comment? You ain't
black if you don't vote Democrat. You know if I
was a person of color, I've got two words for you,
Joe Biden. It ain't happy birthday. Don't tell me what
color I am based upon my political affiliation. How racist
is that statement? Anyway? Veil said, they all share the

(38:53):
broader fact that they are working class and not feeling
like we are. The Democrat we talking to them are
actually going to help them, so that needs to be fixed.
Question Mark, how I mean? Not that I'm a position
to feel sorry for the Democrats and the lack of messaging,
but you know they've been on this tear, this woke

(39:13):
liberal far left chunk of the left wing cloth tear
running as socialists, leaving behind a broad swath of their
own party and doing so one of the Democratic strategies.
Speaking with The New York Times, found I said the
report disheartening at a time when Democrats are feeling rudderless

(39:33):
and leaderless and lacking a coherent message. One strategist two
things need to happen for Trump's political movement to fail.
Trump and MAGA popularity plummets, and Democrats brand popularity rises.
He claims the former is happening, meaning to decline in
the popularity of Trump, but not the latter, i e.
The brand's popularity because you don't have a brand or

(39:55):
a message other than the woke far left ideology you
been peddling. Strategy said, you have to have something clear
to offer an alternative vision. The voter registration lag is
directly related to this, because the Democrat brand is flat.
No it's not flat, it's plummeting. Republicans gained four and

(40:16):
a half million additional registered voters to the exclusion of
Democrats who didn't. That is not flat. Went on to say,
it's one of the reasons why the most successful Democrats
in this movement. Here's a funny thing run against both parties,
kind of echoing a sentiment we heard from a Jay

(40:36):
and Tom this morning. You know, not all Republicans are
worthy of your vote either, says Recent polls showed Democrats
view their own party. This week Associated Press Center for
a Public Affairs Research poll. This one was released in July.
I remember talking about this. One in five, only one
in five Democrats that described their party in a positive

(40:59):
light one out of five Democratic super pac Unite the
Country poll which was obtained by The Hill last month
shows voter perceive the Democratic Party as, in their own words,
out of touch, woke and weak and I think weak

(41:26):
and out of touch both relate to the woke problem
that the Democrats have embraced. Wall Street Journal poll out
last month show Democratics' popularity hit the lowest point in
thirty five years. Sixty three percent of voters had an
unfavorable view of the Democrats. Same time, thirty three percent
of those had a favorable review. A little bit underwater
much one major Democratic donor, an unnamed person major Democratic

(41:51):
donor described as a bit more scathing in his maybe
her criticism quote sums it up our party saw, our
leadership sucks, our message sucks. Why would anyone want to
be a Democrat? Boy? That sounds something completely republican, doesn't it.

(42:12):
Concluding statement from the anonymous donor, we're completely out of
touch and finally, in the end, democratic strategy. As Anthony
Coley said, the number of the numbers amount to trust
with voters and a larger problem with the Democratic brand.
Voters have run away from the party for a variety
of reasons, but trust, or the lack of it, tops

(42:33):
the list. Too Many voters just don't trust the Democratic
Party to deliver on issues they care about. Well, I'd
like to know what issues they care about, But more fundamentally,
you lost the trust of your own party. I might observe,
because I know I would feel really angry at my
party if I wanted to be able to be in
a position to vote for who my presidential candidate might be,
and I was deprived of that because the Democratic Party

(42:55):
anointed someone who I believe didn't have a snowball's chance
in hell, ultimately didn't at winning the shot, Kamala Harris.
Whatever happened to the Party of Democracy, there was nothing
democratic about the annointment of Kamala Harris. They just picked her.
She had all the right woke boxes to check, pointing
again to the problems Democrats fine with their own party. So, yeah,

(43:20):
won't you deliver for the benefit of your own party
and find some issues that your own party cares about
that aren't being addressed by Donald Trump? And I got
to say notably, there's a whole lot of folks in
the Democratic camp that are not unhappy with Donald Trump's
efforts on immigration. For example, Bobby's on the phone five
one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred

(43:42):
and eighty two to three Talk pund Fight fifty on
eight and T phones six twenty one fifty five Karise
Detalk station fundable to reach me maybe in a comment
or two five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eight two three Talk cont Fi fifty on
eight and T phones. Got a couple of callers online,
starting with Bobby, who held over the break. Bobby, thanks
for holding, welcome back.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
Good morning, Good morning, my brother. A simple thank you
can express our true feelings to appreciation. You carry that
torture freedom high and right every day, my brother. We
sure appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
I'm glad you appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Bobby.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
It's a pleasure to be in a position that I'm
in to talk about these kind of things. So I
thank you very much for your support. I really do.

Speaker 7 (44:19):
I got one thing to talk about. I like to
go ahead and look at things that the previous administration
did trying to hide things and when they do things bad,
they don't want to talk about it. And also our party,
the right wing, and I guess you could call it
at the Conservatives, they don't want to talk about it either.

(44:40):
But when they last year was when they tried to
circumvent the Possy Cooma Toss Act. And that's exactly what
they did. The Biden administration did a directive September the
twenty seventh, and it was directed of fifty two forty
point oh one. And we're down there in mephis right now,
circumventing possecomo tas.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
You talking about the deployment of the military.

Speaker 7 (45:04):
Oh yes, And if you look at the directive that
Biden administration did September the twenty seventh of last year's
when they implemented it. But it circumvents posse como tas
fifty two forty point oh one directive to the Department
of Defense. It activates the National Guard into the Department
of Defense, and it gives them a lot of directive.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
So, well, did that facilitate Donald Trump sending the National
Guard down and to deal with crime in these various cities.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Oh, so you're saying all the wailing and gnashing of
teeth about Donald Trump doing that is a direct relationship
to what Joe Biden did in changing that. Yes, oh interesting.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
Everything he did is directed fifty two forty point oh one.
What it does is circumventsd posse COMO TAS and it
enables the National Guard. It puts them in direct under
the Department of Defense.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Huh.

Speaker 7 (46:01):
It gives them a wide open I mean, it's wide
open for them to do that. And the Biden minister
excuse me, the Trump Trump administration didn't speak ay sing
about it because it's to their benefit.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Well, yeah, if you.

Speaker 7 (46:16):
Look under that, section three point three gives them in
three point three of this directive, it gets the use
of lethal force.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Hum, well, you know you're in areas where that I
was not familiar with. Bobby, hadn't seen that in connects
with the Biden administration changing law and interge relationship to
what Trump is doing. I guess the Democrats can't bring
that up since that was done into their watch. So
maybe that's why it's not a talking point in the
mainstream media. Would that be appropriate conclusion, Bobby.

Speaker 7 (46:46):
That's exactly I don't want to talk about it. They
tried to circumvent it and try to shove it where
the sun didn't shine toward us. But now they have
to eat it, and they're not going to admit it,
and the Trump administration just will take advan each other
look it up.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Well, okay, you know it's interesting. I'm also, I guess
a little surprised that the Trump administration, in defending its
justification for sending a guard in to help with the crime,
didn't point out that the Biden administration is the one
that set the stage to allow this to happen. Mean
be a pretty decent defense if they'd articulated as you have, Bobby.
And since I'm not familiar with the whole thing, I

(47:22):
am not going to be able to chime in my
personal perceptions of the change in the law that you reference.
But you gave the section you Yeah.

Speaker 7 (47:30):
I'll send you a complete directive. It's fifty two forty
point oh one.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah. I wrote that put into.

Speaker 7 (47:35):
Effect September the twenty seventh, twenty twenty four, a year anniversary.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
I wrote that down to do homework in my spare time. Bobby.
I appreciate it, though. That's why I love my listeners
smarter than I am in many cases, Bobby, take care
cribbage Mike, You're gonna have to hold I do want
to hear from you, my friend, and I'm out of
time in this segment, but I will take your call
right out of the gate and we get back before
local stories. You can also feel free to call It's
six twenty five right now, fifty five cares of Detalk
Station six thirty one fifty five car c DE Talk Station.

(48:02):

Get yourself a yard sign, vote Smithman, help him out
on his campaign, and really really hoping the best for

(48:23):
Christopher and I hope you can join us a listener
lunch along with cribbage Mike. Welcome back to the fifty
five Carsey Morning Show. Am I going to see you
next Wednesday for a cribbage game?

Speaker 6 (48:31):
Mike, most indublly, mister Thomas then and once again, a
happy belated birthday. And I hope we don't play I'm
sixty euros old card now now in our future matches.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Never why would I do that cribbage, Mike. I'd be
asserting my youth status against you.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
Ha ha I, Big Reagan, make it a quote like
that at one debate.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
That's right, that's for good, that's good, good, good good.
Let's say your lad.

Speaker 7 (49:00):
So we.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
Last week Cash Battel went up to Capitol Hill and
spoke in front of the House and Senate judiciary committees,
and for obvious reasons, with the major news with Jimmy
Kimmel and me even more importantly, Charlie Kirk's assassination, some
of the sound bites kind of flew under the radar,
but one is kind of a watershed moment, and I
hope in the future, if it comes up again, that

(49:23):
the Republicans could just play the testimony of Senator Herono
from Hawaii. Now, her first name is Macy and her
nickname is Crazy Macy because what Representative Johnson Guam tipping
Over is to the House, Senator Crazy Macy Herono is
to the Senate. So I think maybe she thought she

(49:46):
had a gotcha moment, but she asked cash Battel the
need for pull ups for FBI recruits and he basically said, well,
when our agent's chase bad guys, I would like to
have them in shape. And then she followed it up,
and the way she was reading it, I think some
staffer because almost halfway through she almost had a moment
herself because she wondered why there was just one standard

(50:09):
for males and females, because she said, as you know,
mister Patel, there's a physiological difference between males and females. Amazing.
A senior senator quoted that on the records.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
How about that? That's one for the books and these
interesting times we live in where the left hand side
of the political ledger wants women and men to compete
together in sports. You know, I was just thinking, you know,
one size fits all might because the wall, as an
FBI agent that you have to scale is one size, right.

Speaker 6 (50:45):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
You know, they don't change the the hurdle height depending
upon the sex. In mid instance, like you having a
crime unfolding right then the wall is sixty high and
it remains six feet high. Can you get over the
damn wall. So it's a physical fitness requirement anyway.

Speaker 6 (51:03):
And I must say, hearing from my shipmates that are
still serving two years after I retired, they implemented females
aboard submarines, and I think our surface compadres did that
back in the eighties. So I think the Navy learned
a lot of lessons. And obviously with the smaller crew,
and there were some trepidations at first. Obviously there were

(51:26):
some birthing and showering requirements that had to be taking
care of. Yeah, like we got inordinate space aboard submarines,
but the first they started out on the Trident submarines,
which are much larger. But I'm here to say, almost
twenty years later, I'm hearing nothing but glowing reports. We
have our first executive officer, and we have our first

(51:47):
female chief of the boat who is the senior enlisted.
And I don't think it'll be too long before we're
going to have our first commanding officers. So kudos to
those shipmates and for keeping keeping the sea lanes open
for democracy. See, they're doing a great job.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
And you know what, I I never never spend any
time in a submarine. I have been in like World
War Two submarines, you know, decommissioned ones at a you know,
like a display. I Memb's Charleston, South Carolina or someplace.
I can't remember where I've been aboard a submarine. Maybe
it was in an interior military display, doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (52:18):
But there's one right up the road next to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
There you go. So wherever it was, I didn't see
a whole lot of space where you could get intimate
without someone being able to walk right by you on
the submarine. I mean, if if I got that pretty
much accurate, Mike, the opportunity, Yes.

Speaker 6 (52:35):
Yeah, and I've heard once again from shipmates still serving.
And to miss Horno's point, the Navy and the Submarine
Force did not lower any standards going through school. What
it takes they would to get your covenant dolphins to
indicate that you are a submarine or nothing.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Has changed, that's good news, and saluted the women who
are serving there now, I would think, Mike, and maybe
in parting company you can just make a quick comment
on this. On an aircraft carrier, you probably could find
some interior space where you could get intimate and not
be seen by others.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
Oh, it was a horrendous problem when I first started it,
and there's no way it totally went away.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
That's kind of what I thought. So the less space
for intimacy, the more likely it's all going to work
out well for everybody.

Speaker 6 (53:22):
The love boat is alive and well.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Thank you, Mike, Thank God bless you for your service
to our country. Man. See it a little in a
week from tomorrow five on three seven fifty five hundred
eight hundred two three talk pound five fifty on AT
and T phones. So twenty two fifty five kir CD
talk station five three seven fifty five hundred eighty two
to three talk or pound five fifty on AT and

(53:44):
T phones. I'mid the multitude of outrageous, outlandish comments in
the way of Charlie Kirk's assassination. One really stuck out
of me. I saw this article yesterday protester at the
Charlie Kirk memorial in Utah Valley University. A protester told
a pregnant attendee at the memorial quote, I hope your

(54:09):
baby dies close quote carrying a sign. It should be public,
it should be quick, it should be televised with red
marks on her sign depicting bloodstains, along with another message
telling attendees too rot in hell. You know, you got
to just wonder where this kind of hatred comes from.

(54:29):
They're attending a service for a man who was, by
all accounts a decent human being. But the idea that
she wants somebody's baby to die, or anyone articulate I
hope your baby dies because the woman is showing up
to remember this man. That's a profound level of hatred.

(54:53):
It's inexplicable from my standpoint, and obviously, at the risk
of running a little bit long, I'm going to do
it anyway. I saw Everett Piper, who wrote an opative piece.
He's a calumnist for The Washington Times, former university president,
radio host, author of Not a Day Care, The Devastating
Consequences of Abandoning the Truth Anyway, author and noted Notable Anyway.

(55:17):
He wrote this opinion piece pointing out in the way
of Charlie Kirks assassination, former President Barack Obama took to
social media to post the following, this is Barack Obama
just recently. Our current president and his aides have a
history of calling political opponents vermin and enemies. I will
say that those extreme views were not in my white House.
I wasn't embracing them, I wasn't empowering them. I wasn't

(55:39):
putting the weight of the United States government behind the
extremist views, to which Everitt Piper responds with an open
letter with all due respects, Sir, you're claiming that you
and your administration did not embrace or empower extreme views
as nonsense. Frankly, millions of Americans find such a statement
to be either one of the most stunning examples of
psychological projection that we've ever seen, simply a shameless, bald

(56:01):
faced lie. I'm going with the latter. Not in your
white House, mister President, you can't be serious. You were
the one who chose to focus on the color of
our skin rather than the content of our character. You
pushed your neo Marxist agenda of equity rather than equality,
of diversity rather than unity, of intersectionality rather than personal responsibility.

(56:21):
It was you, mister Obama, who chose to foment racial
animus and resentment rather than personal forgiveness and reconciliation. It
was you who pitted blacks against whites and whites against blacks.
You're the one who stoked the flames of class conflict.
You're the one who rallied gaze against straits, the working
class against the educated, traditionalists against progressives, and rural voters

(56:42):
against those more urbane. You're the one who chose the
divide when you could have united. You're the one who
mocked us in our God and our guns. You're the
one who fundamentally changed our nation. You bow to Islam
of disparaging Christendom, tore down our country's borders, tore out
our country's soul. You're the one who instantly inferred that
America as evil rather than exceptional. That's your party, mister President,

(57:05):
that calls its opponents fascist, Nazis, racists, and says we're
all full of such s word Yours have tried to
claim half of the electric lacks gray matter. You're the
one who scorned us as rubes and accused us of
supporting genocide. You're the one who claimed that we are
destroying the planet. Your party mocks our religion and boos
our god. It smirks our prayers and refuses to even

(57:26):
honor a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk's widow and children.
Was you who sued Christians for just being Christian? Was
you who used the irs the target Conservatives? It was
your White House that put us on your terrorist watch list.
It was you who stood silent way your Attorney general
label Bible believing moms and Dad's is a security threat.

(57:48):
Yours has the tried the brands. Anyone defending a woman's right
to her own bathroom a science denying loon. You're the
one who sued a bunch of nuns to include anti
aboard of fashion drugs and condoms and their health insurance.
You're the one who tried to force Christian colleges to
establish transgender dorms on our campuses. Who's you, sir, who

(58:09):
elevated criminals like George Floyd and Michael Brown a sainthood
while villainizing our nation's police. Yours is the party that
continues championing defunding law enforcement while justifying violent mobs that pillage, loot,
and destroy our nation's cities from coast to coast. The
list goes on and on. You're part of that is
spent the last ten years calling Donald Trump Hitler. Your

(58:30):
team that continues to suggest that annoying, are that anyone
rather voting for him as a tacit racist, sexist, rape sympathizer, xenophobe,
and homophobe. Yours is the side that calls simple patriotic,
Christian theocratic nationalists. You're the ones who have advocated getting
in the face. That's in quotes. You know, of all
those with whom you disagree, was your FBI director who

(58:53):
openly suggested that we eighty six. As sitting president of
the United States, you're part of the continues to call
all those with whom they disagree a basket of deplorables.
At your last sitting president who boasted that he would
like to take his opponent out quote behind the gym
and beat the hell out of him quote, You've called

(59:14):
us an angry mob. You've constantly accused us of misinformation.
You said our voices are shrill. You've laughed at us,
belittled us, milined us. Please tell me you're kidding when
you say these extreme views were not in your White House.
Spare us your smug platitudes. Mister President. You're the one

(59:35):
who set the stage for all of this, As your
former pastor once said, you are the one who put
the birds in the air, and now the chickens are
coming home to roost. Coming home to roost in the
form of Well Democrats expressing alarm over voters in mass
quantities fleeing to the GOP because hate is not a

(59:56):
message you can campaign. On forty eight, Charlie Kirk tried
to point that out in his day to day life.
It is six point fifty three fifty five kr CE
Detok Station. I hope you're having a decent Tuesday, and
I hope you can stick around. Got some good guests
coming up in the fifty five KOSE Morning Show. After
the top of that, our news Eric Conroy, he is

(01:00:17):
a Republican running for Congress against Greg Gang of five Landsman.
Inside scoop of bright Bart News at eight oh five,
we're gonna be hearing from John Kahn, Minister of Culture.
He's described as I'm interested in what to help that
means anyway. See and also Nashville singer apparently had a
number one hit called Fighter, which we are going to

(01:00:38):
hear in advance of John joining the show at the
eight o'clock hour, and then Daniel Davis, Steve Die with
all the developments going on between Russia, Ukraine, and now
NATO's getting involved. Apparently Russia's intruding into NATO airspace, which,
of course, since we have a defense obligation with our
NATO partners, any attack on any NATO country is going
to bring us into the mix. So you know, a

(01:00:59):
little World War three scenario, just to let you help
you sleep at night. Going back to an earlier caller
who thinks we're right at the end of times, and no,
I am not one who does believe that. And my
good friend Austin from Foreign Exchange will join the program
at the end of that hour to give us some
really sound advice that ask the expert about keep getting
our car prepared for winter times. A lot of things

(01:01:19):
you can do right now, take care of it in
advance of the temperature is dropping, and I think battery
is going to be mentioned. He typically reminds people it's
easy to have your battery check and if it's going
belly up, they'll be able to tell you that in advance,
so you don't end up with a dead battery in
the middle of a frozen parking lot in the middle
of wintertime, which absolutely sucks. So that'll be the eight
o'clock hour with Austin and Foreign Exchange closing it out.

(01:01:39):
Remember Tomorrow's Wednesday, we'll hear from Judge Anapolitano, among other
guests that have already been lined up. So stick around.
We're going to get the message from Eric Conroy after
the top of the air News seven oh five AIRCD

(01:02:00):
talk station. Happy Tuesday. I am so please, Brian Brian Thomas,
host to the fifty five Carsey Morning Show, Welcome to
the fifty five KRCA Morning Show. Hopefully not the last
time we'll hear from him, Eric Conroy. We have choices
coming up in the election. I know the Democrats are
really anxious to take back over the House Representatives next year,
and of course we're not gonna allow him to do that.
Democrats popularity plummeting because they have no message other than

(01:02:23):
hate someone who knows that very well served his country proudly.
Eric Conroy. Welcome to the fifty five Krsey Morning Show,
an alternative to Greg Landsman. It's good having you on
this morning.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Hey, thanks so much for having me.

Speaker 7 (01:02:34):
I really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
Glad to have you on, man, And first off, let
me start by thanking you for your service to our
country after nine to eleven. Well, the all important Elder
High School endorsement, because you're a graduate at Elder. My
friend Cribbage Mike, who served his country proudly on a
submarine for his career, also in Elder High School grad
So there's one vote you've already got. Eric. But after

(01:02:56):
Elder High School you joined the US Air Force Academy
in Colorado, and then you went on to work at
the CIA as a case officer, which is the most
prestigious role, and you did a lot of interesting operations
overseas Afghanistan, pol in Iraq. So well suited for the role,
I would argue, but I want to focus if I can,

(01:03:18):
since you have so much experience with foreign intelligence giving
your CIA role. What's going on right now? Insofar as
I think about Russia Ukraine, but also Russia flying planes
into NATO airspace and some concerns expressed about that. I mean,
I don't want to get to a shooting war with Russia.
Can you make any sense out of the regional conflict?

(01:03:40):
Because I view Ukraine as a lost cause. Russia's outnumbered
the men. The men are all dead from Ukraine. They
don't have any more soldiers, they're short on weaponry. We
don't have enough of our own arsenal to protect our
own interest to continue to supply Ukraine. Are really a
whole lot of other countries out there. What's your take
on all this long wooded way of getting to that point,
Eric Convoy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
No, this was a great question, and thanks for asking it.
I think there's a few things involved here. I think firstly,
this conflict would have never happened. It should have been prevented.
And if we had more of a peace through strength
approach underneath a previous administration which failed us, we would
never be in this predicament. But instead, what we have
is we have this stalemate war which is going really nowhere.

(01:04:24):
And the reason why we have the stalemate war is
because there's a lot of new technologies that have gone
into this war compared to last conflicts, and the armies
just don't know how to handle it right. So it's
been a bogged down stalemate trench warfare that we need
to resolve and it needs the end. And you know,
as someone like myself who did spend some time in
Europe with the CIA when the war in Ukraine was

(01:04:47):
just kicking off, we need to have our European allies
really just pick up the slack a bit, right, Like
this is not nineteen forty six anymore. We should not
be putting the bill for literally all of Europe's security,
and it's time for Europe to pull their weight. So
I think a peace solution with Europe leading the way
and taking care of their backyard is is really where

(01:05:09):
it needs to go. And you know, as of late,
we have seen Russian drones being flown into pulling and
I think we had some flyovers in the Baltic States
as well, right, And this is this is Russia's way
of kind of poking and prodding and seeing what NATO's
reaction would be. And really it's it's I think it's

(01:05:29):
probably a little bit more of a distraction, right. They
want those countries to be distracted to to also come
to the table and super peace. So I'm in your
camp as well. This needs to be resolved and be
resolved peacefully, with the Europeans pulling their weight leading the way.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
Eric Conroy, your answer is a logical one. Yeah, it's
Europe's backyard. Ukraine and its defense does not represent a
challenge for the United States militarily it's not a threat
to us. Whatever happens there, it's not our backyard. But
going back to the point that I mentioned before, which
I've heard time and time again, I have a retired
lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis that comes on the show every

(01:06:05):
Tuesday and talks about our military preparedness and apparently has
information about what we have and what we can produce annually.
And we're not in the great shape when it comes
to military readiness for our own protection. But if that's us,
Europe is a lot farther behind than us. They haven't
been funding or building or even recruiting for militaries since

(01:06:28):
after World War Two. It seems they've been relying on
us the whole time. So they can't pick up the
weight of for example, munitions, arms, etc. To Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
And it will take a little bit of time, I think.
And I think we saw earlier this year when we
saw the Zolenski meeting in the Oval Office, which got
pretty animated with the President and the Vice president. Is
that lose in my opinion, not so much about Ukraine.
It was about sending a message to the Europeans to
get their act together right, because they have really just

(01:07:02):
wrote on our coattails for too long, and we need
to make sure that they are in a good place
to defend themselves. And my argument would be, you know,
Europe is prosperous and modern. They need to handle mostly
the Russia issue and let us focus on Asia and China,
and you know, you can still be great allies. We
can still be friends, we can still coordinate strategy. But

(01:07:23):
from a task management perspective, I think it's reasonable and
fair for the Europeans to get their app together, focus
on Russia and we can focus on Asia and still
be great allies.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Well, you do note that technology has changed dramatically, which
is no shock to anybody, but in a nature of
military warfare, I've been a critic for a long time
because when you look at the Department of Governmental Efficiency DOGE,
and you look at the fact that it's the component
that represents the military budget about a trillion dollars annually,
no one has looked into that. In fact, when they

(01:07:54):
did try to audit the military budget, they couldn't even
audit it because the records are insufficient, which to me
is a giant red flag when you're talking about a
trillion dollars. Since you served in the military. I presume
you have some knowledge and expertise into what we really
truly need. Sadly, every military budget includes a bunch of
anti antique manufacturing old military vehicles. Oh my god, it's

(01:08:16):
in my state, that's where we manufactured. So we're going
to continue to buy things that maybe we don't need.
That needs a really hard look from my perspective. Can
you can you appreciate the concern I have about the
overall cost And don't you think there's a measure of
like maybe fraud waste abuse in the military budget and
would you be inclined to take a deep dive look
at that component of the budget.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
I think you're you're exactly right. And after working in
two large government bureaucracies, in the now Department of War
and in the intelligence community, I can tell you we
do not.

Speaker 7 (01:08:48):
We do not.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
We're not good custodians of the public's money, right, and
there needs to be a harder luck on how it's
spent and where it's spent. And honestly, in some of
these organizations, whether it be Intelliguess COMMIT or the Department
of War, a little bit of downsizing and in streamline
would make the organizations more efficient too, write So these

(01:09:11):
organizations have gotten very bloated after nine to eleven, and
I don't think in a good way. So yeah, I
would be very in for relooking at some of these
funding and froadway, some abuse.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Issues wonderful and the other component for we leave military
Eric and you can find them online at Eric Conroy
dot com. That's his website. There's a donate button up
in the right hand corner, Ick, courage people to do that,
maybe get in touch with them to help out on
the campaign shipbuilding, submarine building. We have gotten so far
behind in that and the Chinese, meanwhile, are churning these

(01:09:43):
the military hardware out almost daily. How do we recapture
ship manufacturing this country. That is not an overnight fix, Eric,
It is not.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
And I think what we've I think what we've seen
in the defense industry is more of a movement toward
our ontotomous drones and smaller ships that can be scattered
more about.

Speaker 7 (01:10:07):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
So, while it kind of does have a very large
shipbuilding capacity, I think the West and NATO in the
US has taken an approach where we can counter that
with more drone warfare. Unique missile systems and other type
of systems that will kind of counter that that shift
building disadvantage. So while that number looks rather jarring and shocking,

(01:10:29):
I think from a tactical point of view, there there
are ways to adjust to it. But that being said, right,
we still need we still need to a bar industrial capacity,
I would argue in the defense industry, and overall, it's
an issue that we need to look at all.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
Right, I tell you what, Eric Conroy dot Com, where
you fine. We're gonna pause, take a break here. We'll
come back and get some of the other issues that
moving away from military. Sorry to dominate the time with military,
but given your service and your experience with the CIA,
I had to go down that road. We'll go down
down other avenues. Eric Conroy a better choice than Greg Landsman.
Paused for a moment, be right back after these words.
Seven eighteen fifty five Krosit Talk station Brian Thomas with

(01:11:10):
first congressional district candidate Eric Conroy running for the seat
that're currently held by Greg Lansman. There has to be
a better alternative, and I think we've stumbled upon them
with Eric Conroy. You can find him online at Ericconroy
dot com and encourage you to help out his campaign. Eric,
if I had to press you on your number one
reason for running, I mean, I'm looking at your campaign
web page. We could walk down all the issues which

(01:11:31):
I think my listening audience, and you and I are
in full agreement on jobs, economy, safe neighborhoods, border security, education,
small business, cryptocurrency, social security. I could go on, But
for you, what is the most critical role as a
congressman that you hope to fulfill?

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:11:50):
For me, I've become very concerned and passionate about the
economic and social future of this region, and I really
think we need a common sense conservative to take it
into the future. For me, you know that the two
issues that I'm very passionate on are the economy and
safe streets.

Speaker 12 (01:12:05):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
I think we need to come up with the right
policies here to attract the attract and keep the right
businesses and professionals in the region. And that kind of
goes hand in hand with safe streets and crime.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:18):
We obviously saw this summer the appalling brawl which actually
happened in my neighborhood Downtown. I'm a downtown resident, and
these issues are hand in hand, right. We can't have
a successful, thriving economy without having the safety issues solved first.
So to me, those two issues are first and foremost.
And the public safety issue is not just a physical

(01:12:40):
safety issue in my mind, but it's an economic development
and success issue as well. So those two issues are
really at the top of my ticket.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Well. From my perspective, one of the critical elements for
economic development is energy security. And I'm a huge fan
of Viva Grama swimming his run for governor here in
Ohio because he as I do very strongly as I
do the concept of approving small modular reactors. They're small,
tiny footprints or like legos. You don't need a separate,

(01:13:09):
different building design for every new reactor you build, so
the regulatory process can be streamlined. Abundance of electricity in
a small space with no carbon gee, it sounds like
the answer to our prayers. Eric, Where are you on
energy policy?

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
Yeah, I think we need to deregulate to keep America
competitive and small modular reactors are a great start to
that too, and also just deregulating and relying a little
bit more on fossil fuels. It's something that we need
to really lean on.

Speaker 6 (01:13:37):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
I was talking to a business owner who runs a
logistics company earlier this summer and I said, hey, you know,
where are you on the EV mandate. It's like, what's
your take on them? And he goes, Eric, it would
destroy our business, right Like, it's not that we're not
into other forms of energy, but you know, we're just
not ready for it, and it would kill our business
from an infrastructure.

Speaker 7 (01:13:57):
And operations point of view.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
So that can deregulate and come up with options that
are productive and efficient, like fossil fuels, then then we
should be about it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
Yeah, I'm of the mind that if it's a good idea,
it does not need an incentive from government. I mean
with EV mandasc California falling into the toilet. Of course,
Europe European Union is going crazy. Porsia just had a
back off on its full EV effort because no one
wants the damn things are going back to internal combustion engines.
So you know, freedom of choice. Let us exercise our choice.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
And you know, I had I had the joke if
I could run my Volkswagen on sauerkraut, I would, But.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
Like I can't write exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
The technology is just not there yet, right right, Well,
you do operate in the realm of reality.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Here, realm of reality, and I think the concept of
choice which the Democrats seem to embrace on some topics
but not a whole lot of others. Education. Where are
you on education? I know you've seen the numbers, the
statistics from the NEAT scores and other testing scores. Our
children are following globally, if not n acshally, way behind, and
it's a precipitous decline over the past several years. Children

(01:15:06):
are not learning in school. What's your answer to that one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
Eric, Yeah, they're not. And I think this goes back
to your other government bureaucracy question as well, as we
need to get the power back into the hands of
teachers and parents that usually know how to spend their
funds the best and how to allocate resources the best.
And what we've seen, unfortunately, is a Department of Education,
both at the national and a little bit at the

(01:15:29):
state level as well, that just really doesn't know how
to allocate resources and implement the right policies. And I
think we need to get that authority back into the
hands of teachers and parents and I think once we
do that, once we decentralize the education issue along with
other issues. I'm a big fan of decentralized government, we'll
start to see a better result. So I think it's

(01:15:50):
back to the basics approach, getting that authority back at
the lowest level to help our kids.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
One of the massive problems of Democrats are struggling with
is they're gone full woke, most notably and the idea
that men should be able to compete in women's sports.
I see on your website you're interested in protecting women's sports.
On the right side of that argument, I would say,
Eric Conroy, yes, And I think.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
What we've seen in general is DEI fatigue, whether that's
men and women's sports or other DEI policies that have
just gone way, way, way too far waywoke, and people
are exhausted by it. And they're not American policies. They're
not efficient policies. And I can tell you I have
a couple, you know, anecdotes from my time both in

(01:16:33):
the CIA and the Air Force, where really we were
catering way too much to DEI to the point that
it affected our national security and operations. So the whole
woke agenda just needs to die, and this is the
right time for it. I think the administration is taking
the right steps to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
Ericconroy dot com. I strongly encourage my listeners to please
visit his website, donate to his campaign, maybe get a
yard sign if you can, and learn about where he
is on the issues. Listen. I can't find a place
to disagree with you on your website or what you've
said today, Eric, and I really am very hopeful for you,
and this may be the year we can get rid
of Greg Landsman and go a different direction, and I
think people are going to welcome that option. Eric Conray,

(01:17:15):
you are welcome on the fifty five KRC Morning Show
to continue to spread your message before next year's election,
and I wish you all the best between now and
the next time we talk and all the way through
next year.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
Hey, thank you so much for your time and look
forward to join you again.

(01:18:10):

no phones. Murder suspect pleaded guilty yesterday to shooting the
father of six children twice in the head. Jeez, how
one kind of common Police Court judge Christopher Dawell sentenced
Anthony Douglas, thirty eight years old, from fourteen to nineteen
years and six months in prison after he pleaded guilty

(01:18:33):
to aggravate a manslaughter and having weapons under disability. Initially
faced aggravated murder and flooding's assault charges after gunning down
Keith James on glen Ridge Place in Avondale October first
of last year. James was pronounced dead of the scene.
Second gunshot to his head was at point blank range.
According to prosecutors, as say, a dispute led to the

(01:18:55):
gunfire and a car found that the scene was involved.
Aggravated murder charge was reduced to involuntary manslaughter with the
permission of the victim's family, something that Charlie Kirk's widow
suggested the other day. She does not want the death penalty,
so you can't have a shall we say, a Christian

(01:19:18):
attitude toward those who have responsible for doing evil to
you of your loved ones for Miami Township police officer
and school resource officer arrested last Friday and charges relating
to a possible inappropriate relationship with a high school student.
This according to the Claimont County Sheriff's Office. They said
Andrew Warren Bob fifty one, a Columbia, Tennessee, taking it

(01:19:41):
to custody, charge with tampering with evan and violating a
protective voter after it was reported to deputies that he
was involved with a former student while working as a
school resource officer at Milford High School. Person who reported
the relationship showed deputies a picture on social media depicting
the two in an inappropriate state. There you go. Several search,

(01:20:03):
warns and requests were conducted during the ensuing investigation, uncovering
evidence that Bob had violated the civil protection order filed
by the student's guardians after learning about the inappropriate relationship.
Sheriff's office also determined that Bob had removed, destroyed, inter
altered evidence after a cell phone was seized during the investigation. However,
the original picture was determined to have been taken after
the student was eighteen years old and Bob was no

(01:20:25):
longer a police officer. Arrested with the assistant of Maury
County Sheriff's Office in Tennessee extradited to Claremont County. According
to Claimont County Sheriff Chris Stratton, no one is above
the law, not even those who once wore a badge.
This former officer betrayed the trust of the public and
the values we swear to uphold. My office will pursue
accountability without fear or favor fifty thousand dollars cash bond

(01:20:47):
at ten percent. He'll be back in court October first
for a preliminary hearing. If you're not doing anything. Manhunt
in its second week after an attempted murder suspect escape
from jail in southern Ohio fled over the Ohio River
into northern Kentucky. FBI is now involved. They announced a

(01:21:08):
ten thousand dollars reward yesterday for information leading the arrest
of Brown County jail inmate Jerry Lee Cooper. Forty eight
year old Cooper was at last check contained in a
large wooded area between Tuckahoe Road and Lee's Creek Road
in Dover. They say he should be considered armed and dangerous.
He's armed with a rifle and presents a major threat

(01:21:30):
to law enforcement. According to the Sheriff's office, they want
to know if you have any information concerning Cooper. Listen.
Ten thousand dollars is available here. Please do not approach him,
they say, contact the Mason County Sheriff's Office the number
six oh six five six four thirty three oh nine
six oh six five sixty four thirty three oh nine.

(01:21:52):
Hopefully get that guy. Got a moment here. Let's go
to the phones. Got Jay on the line. Jay, thanks
for calling this morning. Happy Tuesday, same to you, hey.

Speaker 13 (01:22:01):
You know, for the twenty twenty six elections. I hope
we're not a little early in this, but I'm out
here in Athens County. I moved out here last year,
and I was at an event last night from Bernie
Moreno and he he endorsed his treasure candidate for twenty

(01:22:22):
twenty six. At the event last night, he endorsed Jay Edwards,
who used to be the majority whip in the House,
the youngest majority whip ever, who was term limited out.
So he's kind of been sitting around for a little while.

(01:22:44):
And you know, it's a I've gotten another Edwards family
since I've been out here, and it's a great family.
So it came as a surprise, even the Jay last night.
Oh really But yeah, So you know, I I think
he'd be a good guess for you going forward to
kind of get into a regular basis.

Speaker 1 (01:23:06):
Absolutely, And there's no doubt in my mind that that
Strucker will will. We'll try to arrange to have him
on the show. You know, I'm interested in talking to
all the candidates between now next year, and hopefully we'll
have lots of opportunities to do just that. As far
as the Marino event was concerned, Jay, if I can ask,
was it well attended? Was was he well received? How
to go?

Speaker 7 (01:23:25):
Well?

Speaker 13 (01:23:25):
You got to remember that this is Athens County, so
it's it's totally totally a democratic county. It was, it
was at someone's house, it was. It was well attended
for an event here. They had a lot of Ohio
University young Republican students at the event, and and a
lot of the local Republican star Wars were there. You know,

(01:23:47):
he went out of his way to be at the event,
Bernie did because he was out at the Kirk Memorial,
uh and so he had to fly in and he
had to drive, and he had a lot going on.
So he put a lot of the effort in and

(01:24:07):
Bernie Moraino was a wonderful human. Dan. Yes, Bernie Moraino
is just a great guy, and he put a lot
of effort into just being there for j Well as
he could do is avent.

Speaker 1 (01:24:19):
As you describe Athens, and I can't disagree with you.
You know, it's blue Basically, he has not given up.
He knows that there is an option, even in the
bluest areas of the state of Ohio to make some inroads.
I mean, you know, the Democrats are losing voters left
and right. All the polling reflects that. Even talked about
that earlier this morning, and a lot of people are
waking up to realize that. Well, listen, I'm not this

(01:24:41):
woke DEEI person that seems to be all the Democrats
are standing for. Maybe there's an alternative out there and
a better way to go, So don't give up on
even the bluest areas of the state. I mean, that's
Bernie Moreno right there, proven it. Well, I'm glad to
hear that, and I appreciate you giving me that call, Jay,
And of course we will try to get the candidates
on between now and next November. Plenty of opportunities to
do that here in the morning show seven I big

about kersd taalk stations. Scratch that ten thousand dollars reward.
Danny Gleeson let me know over the break that overnight
they caught the uh fleeing fell on that escaped from
the jail in northern Kentucky, so they got him. That's
good news. Five one, three, seven, eight two three talk.
I was pleased to hear about Eric Conroy, who's running
against Greg Landsman's on energy policy pretty much all the

(01:25:26):
above strategy. He does embrace the small nuclear reactors, and
you kind of wonder what the hell in the world
is going on. You know, when reality flies in the
face of your climate change dreams, you're going to have
to change policies. European Union's learning this mentioned Porsche is
going back to internal combustion engines because no one wants
the evs. Lots of electric vehicle manufacturers struggling. The Chinese

(01:25:48):
are making great inrunds and manufacturing them a lot cheaper
than the Germans can do it, of course, and German
economy is spiraling out of control, mainly because the price
of energy has gone through the roof because they've chase
their green new zero carbon emissions tail for so long.
Real struggles going on, and it's causing more and more
people to rethink the whole idea about this zero carbon

(01:26:11):
world that they claim we need. Personally view it as
a nonsensical proposition. And the Trump administration on my side
because carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It's naturally occurring
reality in our atmosphere, and it makes plants grow. Wall
Street Journal and learned this the other day, and they

(01:26:32):
mention it in California's Great Climate backfire. Oh, California is
backpedaling now. Hmm. Gavin Newsom wants to be president of
the United States of America. His people are outraged over
the price of gasoline. They're right, California's war on fossil
fuel is backfiring in spectacular fashion. Is gasoline prices, imports
of foreign oil, and CO two emissions all increase response.

(01:26:55):
This is a product of their own making. People in
response in Sacramento allow more drilling and dirty or blends
of gasoline in the state. Whatever happened to climate emergency
gas price in California four to sixty five a gallon average,
about a buck fifty more than the national average, refinery
shut downs, declining in state crude productions, or driving the

(01:27:16):
prices even higher. During the nineteen eighties, most of the
oil California is consumed was produced in California. However, long
came the burdens some climate regulations that reduced drilling, resulting
in California producing only twenty three percent of the crude
refineries that they used last year. Almost all of the
rest imported from abroad. Because the state lacks pipelines to

(01:27:41):
carry crude from oil producing states, more imports have increased
CO two emissions and small causing pollutants from tankers docked
in the state's ports. Declining production also making pipelines that
carry crewe to in state refine refinery is less economically viable.
If pipelines shut down, the state would have to import
even more foreign crewed so they don't allow pipelines either.

(01:28:05):
Looming shutdowns of two refineries could also mean the state
has to import more gasoline problem state lacks the infrastructure
to handle more imports. Study by the University of Southern
California in the spring Bhysiness School professor projected that gasoline
prices could go higher than eight dollars a gallon because

(01:28:26):
of this constricted supply, Noting none of this is good
for Governor Gavin Newsom, who is interested in the presidency,
could also weaken support for the state's climate policies. Ah,
there's that pesky problem there. When you make life miserable
for the masses, they start revolting against the policies that
you've been shoving down their throats. See the European Union.

(01:28:47):
As a state energy regulator explained in June. If a
lack of proactive management during this phase of the transition
leads to rising energy prices and less reliable fuel supplies,
that instability could will erode support for continued decarbonization. You
don't say, and thus Sacramento scrambled at the end of

(01:29:09):
this year's legislative session. Legislation passed last weekend would block
lawsuits that challenge zoning changes in Kern County, where the
state's most productive oil fields are located, a lowering regulation
to ensure the ongoing production. There's a concept. Decade litigation
of the state's environmental laws has prevented such zoning changes.

(01:29:32):
The legislation would also let the governor suspend a requirement
for cleaner summer blends of gasoline to protect against what
they call extraordinary gasoline price increases. Energy regulators would also
have to consider allowing the import of gasoline refined in
other states that don't currently meet California specifications. You see,

(01:29:54):
when things get bad for the people, you walk back
your stupid policies, they conclude. Ponder this for a moment.
California's headlong rush to eliminate fossil fuels as resulting in
more smog and pollution, which, unlike CO two emissions, actually
damage human health. News some falsely claims of Trump administration is,

(01:30:19):
in his words, making America smoggy again by rolling back
to by an electric vehicle mandate. Look whose policies really
are making California's air dirtier? Stupid ideas shoved down the
population's throat in the name of what Greta Thunberg. Oops,
looks like we're gonna have to walk that back because
people are getting angry. Seven forty seven Right now fifty

Get the inside scoop off the top of our news
from Bright bart News called by the Daniel Davis Deep Die.
In the meantime, I got a phone call. Let's go
to the phone. So what Dwayne's got this morning? Dwayne,
Thanks for calling and welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
Hey Brian, how are you?

Speaker 9 (01:31:02):
And happy belated birthday?

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
Thanks Dwayne doing great. Hope can say the same.

Speaker 9 (01:31:07):
Hey, I've called in a couple of times we've spoke
about vaccines and the premise behind them is good. However,
the corruption in front of them is bad. September sixteenth,
Nicholas Holtzkert, who works with doctor Peter McCullough with Focal
Points courageous discourse. Okay, he broke that A Danish researcher,

(01:31:31):
Paul Thornson, was arrested in Germany in June. In twenty eleven,
he was indicted in an Atlanta court for embezzling and
stealing one million dollars from CDC to do research on
vaccines which never got done. And he was the one

(01:31:53):
who fabricated the no autism link between vaccines that has
gone on for the last twenty years. So it's a
good article to take a look at. This will be
part one, part two, which i'll call in tomorrow. I'm
driving now, but they just came out with five more

(01:32:14):
studies that are linking aluminum. I'm not sure what the
relation is to tiland all. I haven't had a chance
to research that yet, and I don't know if that's
just a causal relation, which they do in the medical
community all the time. However, the aluminum has been the
big marker and I'll point to something that I found

(01:32:36):
in October of twenty twenty three relating to the guard
of syl vaccine, and I'll have to contin earlier tomorrow,
but it's aluminum is the big link. But I wanted
to let you know that, so maybe if you had time,
you could absolutely take a look at these things.

Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
Dwayne, I hadn't heard aluminum being linked to autism, but
I have heard in the past, over a long period
of time, aluminum related to all time.

Speaker 9 (01:33:02):
Now it's taught Alzheimer's. It's the amyloid plaquing in the brain,
hence the Alzheimer's. Yeah, I spent twenty five years in
the medical profession, so I've been inundated with this for
twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
Well, and that's why I guess I changed theodor a
long time ago to go completely aluminum free kind of
natural deodorant for that reason alone, because my father, of course,
struggled with Alzheimer's and died from it. And I'd like
to hope I could do anything I can to avoid that.
Because the rate of Alzheimer's cases in the United States
has doubled since two thousand. That's scary, absolutely.

Speaker 9 (01:33:35):
And dementia, and they've already pulled out as you start
thermocial or mercury. They pulled that out back in whatever
two thousand and one, two thousand and seven, but they
still have that and blue shots. But they have aluminum
in every single vaccine out there as an ajuctant to

(01:33:56):
supposedly help them function better, even though they know it's
absorbed one hundred percent by the muscle, and it crosses
the blood brain barrier well into your increase in dementia
and so on and so forth, which I don't have
to be study.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
Further, but well, you don't have to be studied further.
And that's one of the bright spots out of the well,
the concern that was raised by the government lying to us,
or at least not giving us the full scope of
the information, maybe related to the COVID vaccine. You know,
everybody's got to take it. You gotta take it. You're
gonna lose your job, you're gonna get fired, blah blah
blah blah blah blahlah. And then we find out later it's
got all kinds of problems. It doesn't stop the spread,
it only limits the you know, uh uh, the severity

(01:34:33):
of the illness, but you're gonna still gonna spread it
to people? And is it worth the risk? We weren't
given the cost benefit analysis option. I want to know
all we can know about vaccines. I want to make
an informed decision and at least all this research. You
may hate RFK Junior, but I'm glad he's shining a
light on this. Go ahead, find studies that debunk what

(01:34:55):
he's saying. Let's have an informed Dare I say, Charlie
kirklight debate about the value of these things, so we
know what we can, what we should and we shouldn't
be putting in our bodies and when is the best
time to do it? Does a newborn need the hepatitis
B vaccine? For example? Seven fifty seven right now inside

bit of the taste of Fighter by the number one
digital Billboard song by my next guest from bright Bart News.
It's that time of the week, the inside scoop with
bright Bart News, which I always start out with, normally
just a traditional bumper song, but that was so important
because my next guest is responsible for writing and singing
the beautiful lyrics to Fighter. Congratulations on achieving number one status.

(01:36:45):
Welcome to the fifty five Case Morning show from Breitbart.
Described as the Minister of Culture and COO, John Conn,
It's great to have you on the show.

Speaker 14 (01:36:54):
Good morning, Thanks so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
Man, you gotta be really proud of that song I
was reading. I read all the lyrics. I pulled him
up online and a really inspirational song. And man, you
picked the perfect moment in time to pen those lyrics,
my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 14 (01:37:09):
It was a pretty uh it was a lightning and
a bottle kind of situation. And I think.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
We released the.

Speaker 14 (01:37:16):
Song at a time where I think our movement needed it,
and people responded to it, and the President responded to it.
So I'm super grateful for it and been writing songs
a long time and didn't expect that one to hit
so hard, But I'm super grateful.

Speaker 1 (01:37:32):
The fact that it hits so hard is a reflection
of the moment in time we're in. And I have
to ask you right out of the gate, I was
going to ask you anyway it I'll advance my question
on this. Do you think this, this Charlie Kirk moment,
this extreme tragedy that has resulted in so many people
showing such an amazing outpouring of love. The number of
chapters that people have submitted for request to open new

(01:37:52):
Turning Point USA chapters, it's just it's like ninety thousand now.
The message that Charlie Kirk had, which was not hate,
which was not which was not racism, which was not misogyny,
which was sitting down and engaging in thoughtful conversation with
your opposition and trying to maintain a cooler temperature, that
is so much what we need right now. With all that,

(01:38:13):
and with this amazing groundswell of support for these the
whole concept behind what Charlie Kirk was all about, is
it going to last? Do you think this is finally
the moment in time where this is going to take
hold and last as a concept, Sir well, I think.

Speaker 14 (01:38:32):
You know, I've thought a lot about that that question
of the last week or so. I hope and pray
that it does. I think that people do get caught
up in the news and they go back to their
old ways. Yes, I think this is an unusual event,
and I think that I think a lot of people
are looking at the difference between the two sides. And

(01:38:53):
I will tell you I just came back from his
memorial and being in that auditorium when you have eighty
thousand people singing the song Gratitude by Brandon Lake and Unison,
and you compare that to how the left protests, you know,
one of theirs well or things that they don't like,
and the juxtaposition of it is on full display. And

(01:39:17):
I think that, you know, when Erica Kirk says the
answer to hey does not hate right, and that many
people are watching, I think I think it's going to
have impact, and I think a lot of people have
to make decisions. And if you're you know, I came
to faith kind of late in life in the last
few years, and one thing I noticed, you know, being there,
you know, I was surprised at how much faith and

(01:39:38):
how much how much like it felt like a revival
being in that in that building. And I was surprised that,
you know, that there was more about faith than there
was about Charlie. And I've thought a lot about that,
and it occurred to me that Charlie was a selfless guy. Charlie,
Charlie was in it for things that were bigger than
himself and and retro you know, thinking about it retrospectively,

(01:40:03):
I think it was a very important thing he did.
I think the message of that of that memorial was
spot on. And I can tell you, yeah, go ahead, no.

Speaker 1 (01:40:14):
I'm just gonna observe that there's so much hatred and
vile and bile coming from the left as they have
nothing to do but scream, yell and really hate. And
one of the reasons that I think the hate comes
from is Charlie Kirk's Christianity. And I keep going back
to the idea, you know, he wanted you to become
a Christian because he wanted to save you. This was

(01:40:34):
a selfless act, his proselytizing. He sees you know your
fate in his mind and his religion, You're going to
suffer a terrible fate, not only in the afterlife, but
just in life generally. There is a message within Christianity
that is uplifting, It is life giving, It is a
message of hope. It is a message of positivity, and
he wants everywhere. He wanted everyone to share in that positivity.

(01:40:57):
So even if you choose to reject the religion as
the message, you can't overlook his motive behind trying to
spread it.

Speaker 14 (01:41:04):
Right, That's that's been a concept, that's all. When I
first discovered faith. In the last few years, I had
many conversations about it, and I was talking to one
of my colleagues who's Christian, and I said, why would
the left want to toxify something with a movement that
at the very least is trying to move towards something good,
something moral, and something sacrificial. And you know, his suggestion

(01:41:29):
was it was for political reasons, because if you toxify religion,
you toxify all the things that come along with it, morality, family,
et cetera. And I will tell you, you know, as
somebody who it hasn't been part of his life every day,
I'm still working on it. I'm still I still find myself.
You know those moments where I go, oh, I got

(01:41:50):
to get back to that where you get off track,
you know. I when I went to the airport yes
when I went to the airport yesterday, I was sitting
next to UH, a veteran, a young veteran. He was
talking to a woman. I could overhear the conversation, and
he said he was telling her that he had to
go to this Charlie Kirk memorial, but he didn't have
any money and he didn't know how he was going

(01:42:13):
to pay for it, and he prayed on it, and
a couple of days later he got a check in
the mill from that class action suit that he didn't
even know was coming. And then I just in what
it did was it reminded me for me, you know
where again where it's not part of your daily ritual

(01:42:35):
sometimes if you're new to it, you know, it's like
any kind of routine, it's like any kind of lifestyle,
you have to practice it. I just shook my head
and go, there's another sign for me personally. And you know,
millions and millions of people saw this memorial and heard
this message, but for me personally, I went down to
the gate I see a man with a Bible verse
on his t shirt. Two minutes later, I see a

(01:42:57):
man with a Bible verse tattooed on his calf, and
just it and it realized for me. And I'm just thinking,
you know, individually, because I know there were so many
people that were moved by it. You know, I got
home and the internet didn't work on the plane, and
I turned on my phone when I landed back here

(01:43:19):
in Nashville and found out my dad was dying. And
I came home to my place, I talked to him.
I told him I loved him, and I put on
Brandon Lake's Gratitude and I realized the magnitude of Charlie's
memorial because I thought, you know, I loved my dad.

(01:43:40):
I felt at peace and that song and where I
had just come from, I went, there's a reason why
they did that, and there's a reason for millions. I
guarantee it, no.

Speaker 1 (01:43:52):
Question about it. And I guess I have to observe.
I think most all people of faith do have their
moments of doubt. I mean, that's that's the struggle with
real religion, you know, is a leap of faith. But
you know, Mother Teresa had her struggles and even Jesus Christ,
my Lord, why hast thou forsake? I mean, we all
have those struggles, but we can get through it. And
I think Charlie Kirk was an excellent illustration of that,

(01:44:12):
you know, undying faith and that commitment. And he, you know,
he's the kind of guy that would help you through
moments of doubt. And you know, and let's face it,
his widow turning the other cheek and forgiving his murderer
his assassin. Was there a more moving moment in that
event that you saw, I.

Speaker 14 (01:44:31):
Don't think so. I think just her presence and her
fortitude and her strength and in the way I mean,
that moment was just beyond belief. And I think that
for people who don't believe, I was thinking how the
left might, you know, or non believers would interpret that
event and what she said, and they would I think
it's so threatening to what they believe that they probably

(01:44:53):
don't even know how to comprehend what she did. But
to other people you know that are yelling at people
in traffic, you know, getting frustrated on a daily basis,
what a reminder, you know, you know, if she can
treat the ultimate act of evil and forgive it. Then
throughout the day we can forgive all these little, uh

(01:45:17):
you know, objections that we have to people or wrongs
that we feel have been committed against us.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
Well, it seems to me that the less hatred of
religion is you know, maybe boiled down to their being
weed to Marxism, which rejected religion outright. I mean, isn't
that one of the reasons Jesus was crucified because God
is above the state that he dared say something was
above the empire, and you know, and that's what Marxists believe.
You you must be beholden to the state. There is

(01:45:44):
no more powerful entity than the state, and you're worshiping
a higher power and believing in a higher power is
an affront to Marxism right now.

Speaker 14 (01:45:53):
I agree with that, and you know, I think that
you know, again, there's there's so many political reasons, like
you just said, to toxify it, and it's very threatening
because you know, if you want to get cynical and
just talk about the politics of it, you know, they again,
if you have structure in your life, and you have

(01:46:14):
and you are behold into something bigger than yourself, my
theory would be that would create more conservative voters, and
I think that's the reason why they're so threatened by it.

Speaker 1 (01:46:25):
I think it is. And I do note that actually
there has been a resurgence in folks Christian beliefs. It's
rather than than waning, which it has been over the
past several decades. More people are turning to faith because
I think they realize they need some faith in their life.
It creates hope at minimum, you know, it makes your

(01:46:45):
life a better thing to have some measure of hope.
That transcends the idiots that we elect to higher office, right, right.

Speaker 14 (01:46:52):
And And also I think it holds us individually to
higher standards.

Speaker 11 (01:46:56):
True, I think right.

Speaker 14 (01:46:58):
And I just think that people throughout the day are
so quick, you know, to embrace frustration, aggression, whatever you
want to call it. And you know, when you have
faith in your life, it stops you and you ask
yourself that question every day what kind of man do
you want to be? What kind of woman do you
want to be?

Speaker 11 (01:47:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:47:17):
When faith in, you know, I catch myself in real
time if I'm frustrated or I'm offended or whatever it is,
I go, wait a minute, this is not this is
not that important. And I think when you're when you're
viewing live through that lens, I think it makes you
a better person.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
I agree with you wholeheartedly. C Oo and Minister of
Culture John Comma, guess that from Breitbart. Book Mark the website.
Please b R E I T B A R T
dot com Breitbart dot com. John, I use your site
every single day in preparation for the morning show, and
I love having bike Guard on the show every week.
I got to ask you before we part company, and
I've enjoyed our conversation and your inspiration. What is it

(01:47:56):
that you do in your role as Minister of Culture.

Speaker 14 (01:48:01):
Well, so my background was in film and music, and
you know, I came from la and was subject to
all those intolerant views in the entertainment industry where I
had to hide it for a long long time. And
you know, I sort of came out of the conservative
closet in an interesting way, kind of publicly. And when

(01:48:24):
Andrew so I was going around to tea party movements,
singing a song called American Heart with a hat and
sunglasses because I didn't want anybody to find out. And
Andrew and I would go to these tea parties, he
would speak and he would introduce me as a conservative who,
you know, to show people throughout the country that there
are conservatives in Hollywood and you know, and so we

(01:48:47):
would go all over the country and he and I
were very very close, and when he passed away, I
just decided that, you know, it was like Larry sold
out of the current CEO and Steve Bannon, who was
with us at the time, that you know, they pulled me.
They said, Andrew always wanted you to be part of
the company, but because you were in the arts, he
didn't quite know, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:49:07):
What to what to do with me.

Speaker 14 (01:49:10):
And so I said, want to you just let me
start helping out and and let's see where it goes.
And thirteen years later, here I am. And I think
Steve may had termed the UH given me the title
of Minister of Culture because I do a lot. I'm
sort of a utility player. I kind of do a
lot of different stuff there and but when it comes

(01:49:32):
to the creative stuff, I think that's where the MC
as I was called, Minister of Culture comes into play.

Speaker 1 (01:49:38):
And proof that there is salvation for people who grew
up in the heart of woke, leftist anti religion California. Yeah,
you can believe it, John Con It has been great
having you on. I'll look forward to another conversation with
you down the road. Keep up the great work and
I'll be looking forward to another number one Billboard hit
from you, sir.

Speaker 14 (01:49:57):
Awesome. Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:49:59):
My pleasure, my listeners pleasure as well. Thank you A
thirty two fifty five CAC City Talk station. Hitting the
ground a little bit later on in with Daniel Davis.
It's that time of the week we get the Daniel
Davis deep dive from the retired lieutenant colonel. Military logistics
and war is what we usually talk about, and oh
my gosh, look on the agenda today, ah war generally speaking.
Welcome back, Daniel Davis, my friend. I love having you

(01:50:21):
on the show.

Speaker 12 (01:50:22):
Always a pleasure to be here. Brian, thanks for having
me back.

Speaker 1 (01:50:25):
And an advanced heads up, we may lose the video
feed just Trecker is being covered by Danny and I
know we're seeing each other now on video, but apparently
we're having a technical difficulty. So if I lose you,
Danny City call you right back. To the extent. Our
conversation isn't over. I just wanted to warn you in
case it happens without further ado. The nature of warfare,
as illustrated by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, has

(01:50:46):
changed dramatically. Drones, I mean on full display and revealing
a real problem. As I saw in quite a few articles.
Used to be the front line was the real bad
place to be. That's where all the bombs were dropped,
That's where all the activity happened. Now with drone warfare,
these drones are going way into Ukraine. They're disrupting supply chains.

(01:51:07):
They're hitting targets that no one ever thought. With the
disruption of supply chains with drones, they got to find
alternative routes to try to get supplies to the front line.
I mean, this is devolving, It's getting even worse and worse,
and drones really are the defining factor in this war.
I think I am i off base on that, Daniel Davis.

Speaker 12 (01:51:26):
Yeah, now they have been for a long time, but
now as you say that, they are evolving into different categories.
I mean we have issues of not just the first
person drone where it's coming after the vehicle that you're in,
or sometimes even though well you know, a personal deal
that this drone is coming after you, and they have
devolved down to that. But now then they've expanded, and

(01:51:48):
there was some in the early stages even to the
depth of the country. Usually it was missile fire. But
then they started getting a few of the drones mixed
in will About a year ago, the Russians started expanding
their production capacity, and then they started firing more and
more of these deeper into the deep part of Ukraine,
especially where there were home depots where the ammunition comes in,

(01:52:11):
where the stuff comes in from NATO, electricity generation, production,
oil facilities, et cetera. Ukraine, by the way, is also
doing the same thing. They're expanding their capability into Russia,
but at a slower quantity. And sometimes you have quality
and quantity. You got to have them both, and if
you don't have both, the side that does is going

(01:52:31):
to prevail. And that's what's going on right here, is that.
Now then there's even what's called the near front UH
and then the tactical rear, the operational rear, and then
the deep rear of the country itself, and literally every
aspect now has its categories of drones and units focused
on just hitting their sector. So literally no place is safe, as.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
You say, well, and considering the status of the war,
and we needn't go over all the downside and the
problem that Ukraine is struggling with right now, man power, resources, munitions,
et cetera. This has got to be extraordinarily demoralizing. With
drones literally being taught, the opportunity and the ability and
the current use of drones literally anywhere in the country.

Speaker 5 (01:53:15):
Well, it is.

Speaker 12 (01:53:16):
And you know, that's one of the reasons why I
keep highlighting periodically that you know, there's a separate issue
for Ukraine side apart from just the battle lines and
the balance of forces between the two sides and you know,
and what happens on the ground, but the psychology and
the potential for PTSD, it just has a slightly new
fear unlocked because in addition to all the things that

(01:53:39):
fighting normally causes inside of people, now then you have
this additional fear of always looking at the sky, being
afraid to get out of the ground for anything, and
that is just deepening on all I'm going to be
blunting the emotional trauma, especially on the Ukraine side, and
the courses applies to the Russian side too. But because
they don't have all of the different levels of the

(01:53:59):
Ukraine side does it of being able to fire deep
into the Russian side at all the different sections, it
doesn't hit the Russians as hard, and of course.

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
They have more people.

Speaker 12 (01:54:08):
So this is a disproportionately negative for the Ukraine side. Well,
I got to imagine any the targets that Ukraine might
want to hit within Russia. It's a lot bigger country
to have to deal with than the find more well
smaller finite space that is Ukraine. I mean, you don't
have an getting way into Russia. I'm sure there's military targets, depots,

(01:54:29):
supply posts all the way into Russia in various locations.
They just don't have the capacity to reach all of
them on the swarm level that Russia is within Ukraine.
And if you even if you had the same land
mass between the two sides, Russia's numbers are just a
whole lot bigger and Ukraine simply can't match those. Because

(01:54:49):
while Russia has a fairly robust air defense system and
they shoot down a significantly larger portion of anything coming
in from the Ukraine side, there's less of it. They
can get a higher percentage of it, so that means
that there's smaller amounts getting through, as you say, over
a much massive, larger geographical area, so that you can't

(01:55:09):
focus and concentrate the fire like the Russians are able
to at all the different levels. I mean, honestly, it's
it's math and it's production capacity, and that's what a
war of attrition is, and that's what Russia is waging
and frankly winning at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:55:22):
Well, since our last conversation last week, Daniel Davis, is
there any aspect of Russia Ukraine negotiations, settlement anything, has
anything changed at all? Are we still at the status
quo that we found ourselves in for so long?

Speaker 12 (01:55:34):
We are still at the disconnected from reality level on
our side. And there was a conference in Kiev, I believe, no,
I'm sorry it was Finland over the weekend on Saturday,
where you had the headliner of David Petraeus and he
went on and he was asked questions by a lot
of people and he is still with the same thing.
He said, actually, and I'm not making this up. He

(01:55:55):
started off by saying in his remarks that Will I'm
actually feeling better about things for Ukraine, that I haven't
quite a wit, and then he went out and laid
about a bunch of reasons which were totally divorced from reality.
It's like not even on the same planet.

Speaker 1 (01:56:07):
And that's where we hit him. Danny's going to get
him on speed dial and we'll see if we can't
continue the balance of this conversation on telephone. Sadly, again,
our zoom feed that we've been using failed us at
this moment in time, so he's going to be trying
to get him back on we get the follow up
of those comments. I also wanted to ask him about
you an ambassador Mike Waltz talking about the defending every

(01:56:30):
engine of NATO territory after Russian jets flew into Estonia.
If we can get that one in so, without further ado,
there's Daniel Davis on the phone. Daniel, you were summing
up the comments that were devoid of reality. Let's finish
that thought before I ask you a question about NATO
territory and Russian in Russian jet intrusions.

Speaker 7 (01:56:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:56:49):
See, they're still thinking, Look, all we need is some
more support. We just need a little bit more time,
We need a little bit more ammunition, and then we
can start bleeding, should drive. That's kind of the gist
of it, and it's like so divorced from what's actually
happening on the ground and the balance of forces, which
continues to deteriorate on the Ukraine side everywhere, from desertions

(01:57:11):
going up five to seven hundred per day by some reports.
Of course, the casualty ratios, you can't force mobilize enough
people to offset the losses, whereas according to the Ukrainian
side information, Russia is still able to produce around thirty
one thousand troops new troops per month.

Speaker 7 (01:57:31):
Which offsets and even the Institute for the.

Speaker 12 (01:57:33):
Study Wars, we can acknowledge that if they don't have
the ability on the Ukraine side to prevent Russia from
producing more troops and now than their tactics on the
Russian side are prioritizing securing their troops so they don't
have as many casualties, so that means they are growing
while the Ukraine side is shrinking. And in that environment

(01:57:54):
you have General Petrea saying I feel better about Ukraine.
It just delies any kind of logic.

Speaker 1 (01:58:00):
I concur with you on that assessment, and real briefly,
I just note that I read an article earlier in
the week that Cuba is supplying supplying troops to the
Russians as well. We had the North Koreans doing some
work for him, and now I guess the Cubans are supplying.
Then that's that's new one on.

Speaker 12 (01:58:16):
Yeah, they are, wouldn't put I wouldn't put a lot
of concern in that though, the mighty Cuban military. I mean,
I know that we have to worry about the invasion.

Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
So yeah, someone need to keep on though, right.

Speaker 1 (01:58:27):
Why not? Well, anyway, real quick here, I saw the
other day you and a messager Mike Waltzho's warning yesterday,
I believe it was US and the Allies would defend
every inch and his words of NATO terry. This after
Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace. Russia has been kind
of liberal with violating internet, our our airspace of late.
Is this Are they really tempting us with World War

(01:58:49):
three here? Or are they just testing us and seeing
how we react? Where's this going?

Speaker 7 (01:58:54):
Yeah, that's a troubling development.

Speaker 12 (01:58:56):
I don't mind telling you. That's been my fear from
day one. Is something either a bad decision, a miscalculation
and error, a mistake something would cause this war to
bleed beyond the borders of Ukraine, which could suck us
all into an absolute unwinnable war which could altio easily
go nuclear. And the fact that Russia is now feeling
more confident to test into the air space a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:59:19):
Now.

Speaker 12 (01:59:19):
Look, a lot of this happened during the Cold War,
so by itself, that's not a big issue. We've got
planes up there, they do too, But the fact that
they're willing to do a little bit more now, I
think is to send a message to the West saying, hey,
don't f with this, because you know, we have the
capacity that you don't have, and so there'll be more
cocky a little bit, and you get cocky, and then

(01:59:42):
when you get on our side, you know, people go,
oh yeah, well I'll show you. That's where you get stupid,
and you have the possibility of having a war that
nobody actually wants, but that we could stumble right into.

Speaker 7 (01:59:53):
Hm.

Speaker 1 (01:59:55):
Okay, well keep that in mind, folks. Yeah, Francis Gary
Powers right, we used to do that during the Cold War.
Daniel Davis Deep Dive find his podcast online. You'd be
glad you did and join us every Tuesday at eight
thirty for another wonderful edition and insightful it always is.
Daniel Davis. God bless you, sir, and thanks for spending
time with my listeners. To me every week, always my pleasure.

Speaker 6 (02:00:16):
For I see you next week.

Speaker 1 (02:00:17):
Take care he forty two right now if Hey forty
nine and fifty five Care CD talk station. Happy Tuesday.
Let's ask an expert and get some great advice for
taking care of our cars as we get closer to winter.
Welcome back to the fifty five Care See morning show.
My dear friend Austin from Foreign Exchange, where I take
my well we eat my collective family takes their traditionally

(02:00:37):
manufactured imported cars. Austin. Great to have you on the
program today, my friend.

Speaker 10 (02:00:43):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (02:00:43):
Brian, Oh, it's always a pleasure. And as we think
about wintertime, I'm going to start with and I always
tell people and I use my favorite illustration of saving
money because the point of Foreign Exchange is full warranty
on parts and service with an a SE certified Master
technician working on your car, great customer service, everything's great,
you just don't pay as much. And since we're talking
about car maintenance and the importance of routine maintenance one thing.

(02:01:06):
But oil change, there's what your dealer said, or there's
what the manufacturer says, and then there's reality. But I
tell my listeners all the time, Austin, I saved like
two hundred dollars when I had my oil changed at
foreign exchange versus the dealer, which is just mind blowing
to me that I save that much money.

Speaker 10 (02:01:26):
Yeah, in some cases you do nowadays, unfortunately, you know,
it's with the prices sometimes being a little more expensive
some of the materials like filters and oil. You know,
I think the most important part of it always isn't
just so much exactly the cost, but it's the value
making sure you are getting the correct weight and correct
oil for the vehicle itself. You know a lot of

(02:01:48):
times you find that that stuff does become a little expensive,
but at the same time you need to do your
due diligence and make sure that it isn't like a
bait and switch type situation where you're trying to extend
your intervals and you have motor oil that cannot do that.
I mean, we see more problems with cars with filters collapsing,
and you know a lot of it seems to be

(02:02:10):
due to the lack of the right oil in the car.

Speaker 1 (02:02:13):
Well, I know you can always count on the right
oil on the right filter at foreign exchange. You've never
let me down on that. But in terms of intervals,
if I follow my manufacturer's intervals, you know, I don't know,
it's like every fifteen thousand or twelve thousand miles or something.
I still come in and see you more like five thousand.
What should we be paying attention to Austin, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:02:32):
We should be in that range. Really, when you go
and you get a little more invasive and look at
what criteria most people meet, you know, sitting in traffic
for a period of time, local driving, you know, a
lot of like not full trips on highways with good
heat cycles. I mean you kind of fall into that
that ten to fifteen thousand mile range should be split
in half. I mean it's just, you know, there's just

(02:02:56):
the longevity of an engine is the livelihood of the oil.
Livelihood of the oil is not these extended intervals. You
find that we have cars that from eighty to one hundred,
especially in European models, there's significant breakdown of the oil,
which then creates significant carbon fludging, things that just don't
promote the longevity, and then that creates major repairs at

(02:03:19):
you know, intervals of eighty thousand miles to one hundred
that just shouldn't be likely in a European vehicle.

Speaker 1 (02:03:26):
Well as people think about wintertime, I know, one of
the big topics we always bring up at wintertime is
your battery dying in the middle of a frozen parking
lot when you're trying to get home from work. It's
easy to have a battery test and I guess my
listener should probably get on that right now. Austin.

Speaker 10 (02:03:41):
Oh, absolutely, And you do run into these situations where
there just isn't a lot of warning. It's kind of
like that situation where you come back out to the
car and it doesn't start. So always definitely having the
battery check before winter. Just again back to the regular
maintenance service. You know, there's service which is soul changes

(02:04:02):
on regular service where it's a comprehensive inspection that you know, looks.

Speaker 1 (02:04:06):
We kind of look at.

Speaker 10 (02:04:07):
These forward thinking type mentality with all my technicians of
you know, what do we expect in a couple of months.
We don't want to see you that frequently but at
the same time, we certainly want to see you in
the situation where we can promote the car being on
the road with any kind of inconveniences, because there's never
a good time for a battery to fail.

Speaker 1 (02:04:26):
On you, not a battery to fail or you know,
you're really great about, you know, bringing to like my
attention as a way of illustration. Like for example, the Honda,
you got out ahead of a lot of problems. You said,
all right, here's what's going to happen down the road.
It's not broken yet, but you've got this problem and
you want to think about it because it's going to
be coming, and so keep it in mind. You're really
really good about going over entire car and raising those things.

(02:04:49):
It's not like you have to have it done now,
it's not an emergency, but at least giving us advanced
notice so we can prepare ourselves.

Speaker 10 (02:04:56):
Oh absolutely, I think that's one of the things that
makes us unique in all so, you know, it's the
relationship about understanding. It's it's it's the people's you know,
it's the owner's car and his money. It's our job
as professionals to give you the insight of when it's
time to spend it, when it's time to avoid a breakdown,
and when it's time to kind of identify threshold stuff.

(02:05:17):
You know, automobiles have threshold type of things, and it's
nothing worse than getting beyond that threshold and then having
a problem that creates secondary problems that then incur more cost.

Speaker 1 (02:05:29):
And one of the things I know you'll check with
a multipoint inspection as we approach winter tires. Tires have
gotten real expensive. People put it off. I mean, it's tires.
It's what keeps you on the road. Please take care
of your tires Austin.

Speaker 10 (02:05:45):
Oh, absolutely, especially yesterday too with the amount of heavy
rain we had in a short period of time.

Speaker 6 (02:05:50):
You know, tires, wiper.

Speaker 10 (02:05:52):
Blades, all of these things that you know are kind
of not so much out of sight, out of mind,
but not frequently looked at. I mean, you know, we
had a pretty decent winner last year. I'm not sure
what this one's gonna hold, but tread depth on tires
is the most important thing.

Speaker 1 (02:06:07):
Just think about wintertime coming, think about taking care of
your car at all times, you know, be forward thinking.
Get into Foreign exchange him to do a multipoint inspection
and they will identify issues you may not even be
aware of and make sure you're safe in the wintertime.
Austin from Foreign Exchange, thank you so much for helping
my family and my listeners over the years. You guys
do such a great job, and I'm pleased to sponsor
