Speaker 1 (00:07):
Five o five a fifty five k r C the
talk station ses that'd be Tuesday vacation.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'm the dude, may.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
You may be. I'm Brian Thomas, back from a four
day vacation, four day long week and really enjoyed it.
And thank you to uh Well, Gary, Jeff Walker, and
Dan Carroll for covering for me on Friday and Monday, respectively.
I hope you enjoyed that. And of course you can
head on over to fifty five car seed dot com
and check it out if you can't get a chance
to listen. A lot podcast page coming up at fifty
five Carce Morning Show. Jeez, I got the whole thing

(00:51):
backload at eight o'clock hour. I don't have a single
guest until eight oh five, and then I got like
nine of them along with a warning from Streker when
I woke up this morning on text, got to be
painfully aware that the eight o'clock hours packed, so don't
screw around. So I will endeavor not to screw around. Joe,
just be kind of cool if one of those could

(01:13):
have been of the seven o'clock hour. But whatever, inside
scoop at Brightbart News, it is Tuesday. Bry Barton News
Border News Director Brandon Darby are going to be doing
an Empower Youth seminar tonight seven pm. Poweruamerica dot Org
for that. Got a lot of immigration news in the
stack this morning. Daniel Davis steved I have plenty to
talk about with Daniel Davis, retired lieutenant colonel, usually talking

(01:34):
about war, but we've got this Security Council, the UN
Security Council actually embracing the Donald Trump proposal, with China
and Russia not vetoing it. What let's see here. France
President of Manuel Macron has agreed over the next decade
to allow Ukraine to purchase, which is an interesting word.

(01:58):
Does Ukraine even have an economy anymore? Anyway, purchase around
one hundred fighter jets along with their associated weapons again
over the next decade, suggesting that maybe this might have
some measure of leverage for negotiating peace. I doubt it,
just my initial reaction anyway, And of course Ukrainians still
demanding Tomahawk mischills as the Russian forces intensify and take

(02:22):
over more Land. Topics to deal with with Daniel Davis
at eight thirty, followed by eight forty Dan Claire Communications
director for Disabled American Veterans finding jobs for disabled vets.
You can do that, and finally asked the expert. We
got John Roman from cover since he at the tail
end of the program, stuffed into the last five minutes,
and if I don't have a well welled eight o'clock hour,

(02:46):
John may not get any time. Which is the challenge
five one, three, seven, nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred
and eighty two to three talk pound fight fifty on
at and T phones. I'd never been to a bourbon
distillery tour, and I know you don't care, but I
thought it was rather interesting if you're looking for something
to do. Obviously, the bourbon trail is just right in
the Greater Cincinati backyard and had a really cool It

(03:07):
was cool. Not a huge bourbon guy, you know, kind
of developing my bourbon taste, but just seeing the distillery.
We went to Castle and Key Distillery, and the story
behind that place is just absolutely amazing. The number of
years of the different ownerships over the time, the fact
that it was bought in the early it was around
twenty fourteen, so the place hasn't been fully up in

(03:29):
operational for that long. It was a dilapidated twenty four
building complex that had previously operated as a distillery. All
of the building's roofs had been deteriorated and they were gone,
so waters coming in all over the place. Kudzeus go
to run the whole thing. Some visionary decided he was
going to turn it back into a distillery, and wow,
what an amazing business turnaround. It's one of the top

(03:53):
distillery tours I think in the world, if I remember
the notes correctly from our private tour, was really exceptional,
and props to my friends. We all went. It was
three couples, just had a really amazing time. I say
that because it was an interesting manufacturing process, and the

(04:15):
love and the labor that goes into manufacturing that bourbon,
and the amount of time it has to sit around
before you can even sell it is it's just really remarkable.
So consider doing that if you like seeing manufacturing operations
generally speaking, even if you're not a Bourbon fan. Like
I said, it's right there. It took us an hour
and a half to get to Frankfurt. So there you
have it. Over to the General Trump rallying the Security

(04:36):
Council on Gaza. This is really an interesting development. Maybe
the United Nations isn't as useless as it so often shows.
They write on Monday, Security Council endorsed President Trump's twenty
point piece plan for Gaza, ratifying for the first time
the requirements that Hamas disarm and that Gaza be demilitarized.
Not exactly a big popular thing for the Hamas folks,

(04:58):
but this is where they've been back into the court
or the resolution pass thirteen to nothing, Russia and China abstained.
Maybe worthy the US jaunt the Security Council would come
at a price of bending the peace plans terms for
Hamas or adding anti Israeli terms e g. Wood Francis,
Emmanuel Macrone, elbow his way to the deal's implementation with

(05:20):
Russia and China, transform the Trump initiative to another UN
peacekeeping boondoggle. Nope, not this time, and credit goes to
Trump and you, Ambassador Mike Wallas, apparently for flexing US
diplomatic muscle, which, at least the Journal credits were the
only reason that this text, which detracts nothing from the
original Trump twenty points, could get through. Waltz calls it

(05:41):
the most pro Israel Security Council resolution in decades, comically
noting by the Journal that's a low bar. But consider
the point. This resolution doesn't pretend there is currently a
Palestinian state. It doesn't demand a risky Israeli withdrawal from
the WESTBND in East Jerusalem at the expulsion of every

(06:02):
Jew living there. It doesn't prejudice negotiations by specifying final
borders on nineteen sixty seven lines. And it doesn't condition
progress in Gods on the creation of a Palestinian state,
which it treats instead as a highly contingent event of
its own. Hmm, what does that mean? The resolution, like

(06:24):
Trump's twenty point plan, says, if the Palestinian authority undergoes
a stringent course of reform and deradicalization laid out by
Trump in his first term quote, the conditions may finally
be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self
determination and statehood. In other words, the time to talk

(06:46):
about statehood is when such a state would cease to
be a mortal threat to Israel. You know, I'm just
kind of reminded of the Abraham Pieterer gorge. Why don't
we all try to play along nicely together for our
own benefit? You know, the world's moving forward. We could
all be this massive economic powerhouse. We just quit shooting
at each other. Resolution authorizes Israel's presence in Gaza in

(07:11):
a Gaza buffer zone more and more correctly, and conditions
the Palestinian authorities administration of Gaza until it can securely
and effectively take back control of Gaza. It should be
understood as a requirement that the Palestinian authority be capable
of restraining a moss and wanted by the people of
Gaza it isn't currently, rather than parachuted in and imposed

(07:32):
upon them. It all sounds sensible, and it doesn't sound
like the UN, which in September was saying the exact
opposite via a non binding General Assembly resolution. That was
when pressure on Israel is at its peak, but no longer.
Monday Bloomberg headline declared Israel is a market's favorite. Germany
also lifted its partial arms embargo. Israel defense firms are

(07:56):
racking up record deals to export abroad. Yes, no longer
any embargoes or sanctions against Israel. Everybody started to play
along nicely again. The way to tell the UN has
done something out of character is that Hamas has issued
a statement condemning the resolution, in particular Harmasa announced quote.
The Palestinian factions also stress their rejection of any clause

(08:19):
related to disarming Gaza. They're not on board Israel leader
Benjamin that Nowho and mister Trump are no longer the
only ones insisting on that. In other words, the disarming
by not disarming amasa's in continuing breach of the agreement,
holding up the reconstruction of Gaza and the rest. Now

(08:41):
the end with the question is what Trump is willing
to do about it if phase two of his plan
isn't working. They suggested in the Bravery to call it quits,
as the peace processors of old never could. But it's
a great development. I would think I have zero faith
in the UN. I'm on record a million times wondering
why the hell we continue to involve ourselves with it

(09:02):
when it seems to be merely an arm of propping
up terrorist organizations like Hamas. Certainly no friend of the
United States. I mean, if you think of all the
third world countries and how the UN is made up
a little bit jealous of our success, just as Scooch,
there is that out there in the world. But I
haven't in my lifetime, I really haven't seen the UN

(09:23):
accomplished much at all. And noting the number of genocides
that have gone on in the world, I think about
President Bill Clinton in the genocide in Africa, and oh
my god, I really wish I could have done something
about the three hundred thousand people slaughtered. And I always
ask back then, where in the hell is the UN.
Aren't they supposed to be in a position to do
something about these challenges in the world. Nope, always seem
to fail us. But they are more than willing to

(09:44):
take our check to keep the place open and running.
So we'll see if this holds. But you know, in
terms of foreign policy, you can hate Donald Trump all
day long. And I am still taking a standoff approach
on this nonsense going on with us in Venezuela. Considering
there's been no congressional action, no authorization to use the
military force. Is he getting into a war without a

(10:06):
declaration of war? All that bothers me and concerns me
by way of foreign policy. But in so far as
Middle East foreign policy is concerned, and if it may
not be perfect, but I would argue with significant progress.
First term demonstrated that with the Abraham Accords, and the second
term is demonstrating that as well. So keep your fingers
crossed and you're in my lifetime. We may very well

(10:29):
see some sort of resolved peace in the Middle East. Yeah.
I know that's a big, big, big ask, but maybe
at least we're in a position to be somewhat optimistic
about it given these current developments five sixteen. Right now,
feel free to call. I don't have anything in particular
to dive on into coming up to do you with
the stack of stupid local stories? Oh look, speed bumps
on Glenway Avenue right outside of Price Hill, Chilli west side, Jim,

(10:51):
what do you think about that?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
It is buch. Is this new of Buckingham Cut Corporation's
trast which is described as the largest project in over
the line? Is this what connected communities is all about?
Got asking for a friend? Jay's up next? Hang on, Jay,
I'd be right with you after these brief words.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station SHY five.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Twenty on a Tuesday. You my head, it's Monday. Just
a little extra brain fog considering e four day weekend. Anyhow,
it's going to the phones five on three seven two
three Talk Jay, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Tuesday, Hey.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Happy Tuesday, Brian, welcome back. Thanks, Hey, Hey, I wrapped
up my numbers. Being a numbers guy, I was trying
to call in every day and give everybody the update
on how much money we theoretically could have saved during
the shutdown. And the point is how little this government
has impacted your day in, day out whenever it's shut down,
which I think is the best way to pay off

(11:52):
the national debt. Is we can't trust them to show
up and not spend money, so just shut it down
and don't spend any money.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Theoretically.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
The way I come up with this real quick is
I take the one point seven trillion dollars per year,
which is discretionary spending out of a seven trillion dollar budget.
By that by three sixty five gives you dollars per day,
and then I multiplied that times forty three days of
the shutdown. It came up with two hundred billion dollars,
which is a lot of money. Now, one of the

(12:21):
things I would one of the things I would do
is to try to put it into a frame of references.
I would try to figure out, like, you know, how
much is the Department of Education's annual budget, which I
think was around two hundred billion dollars, So you know,
we could maybe like fund the whole Department of Education.
I was shocked to find as I was looking at
the budget for each one of these federal departments with

(12:43):
unelected bureaucrafts, HHS is one point eight trillion dollars per
year on a seven trillion dollar federal budget.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's insanity.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Which so what that means is we saved two hundred
billion dollars on discretionary spend during the shutdown. We would
have to do that a thousand times, be shut down
forty three thousand days in order to pay for one
year of HHS budget, And which tells me and tells
all the listeners, we don't pay off this debt until

(13:16):
we get AHHS under control, and because it's about a
third of the total federal government. So that's one point.
The other quick point I want to make is I
heard Speaker Johnson yesterday talk about that now that the
shutdown is done, we can get air traffic controllers and
ice and on our armed services and the US farmers paid,

(13:38):
and I thought, wait a second, I think he said
the quiet part out loud as they say, are we
just now to consider that US farmers are are are
are federal workers.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
We have we arrived where the US.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Farmer is no longer part of the free market economy,
and they are pumped in with federal workers.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
I guess during the way that the farm budget is
managed and the mandates on you know, corn production rather
than you know, something else, the edicts and the limitations
they place on farmers. I mean, it's a very difficult
industry to run. But I guess I'm wondering when he
said paid, what specifically was he referring to. Was this
a subsidy or because contextually speaking, no, I didn't think

(14:22):
the American farmers were receiving paychecks from the federal government
to the extent they're dealing with their tax issues or
getting subsidies or you know. I guess I'm kind of
in dark on that concept, Jay, I'll be quite frank
with you.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, I think he meant subsidies. But whenever he's talking
armed services, federal workers, air traffic controller, federal workers, TSA,
federal workers, and then he threw the farmers in there,
which breaks my heart for the farmers. But I think
it is the truth that without these federal subsidies, I
think that is the largest part, unfortunately, of the US

(14:58):
farmers paycheck is coming out of the federal government. And
I think Speaker Johnson put it out there in the
public with this comment yesterday.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
I guess some kind of one, you know, considering that
food is probably one of the most important things that
is manufactured, grown, or otherwise produced. We all have to eat,
right there is a built in demand that is literally
never going to go away. So upon what twisted logic
is it that the American farmer has to survive by
the with the government largest considering everyone in the world

(15:30):
wants the products. I know it's a simplistic way of
viewing it, but why has it gotten so fouled up
that these edicts and mandates and regulations are so inextricably
intertwined with the American farmer. I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Here's what I heard. Here's what I heard years ago
was that after the dust ball, like nineteen seventy, the
dust ball was about thirty forty years in the rear
view mirror, and there was starting to be some talk
in the federal government about why are we continuing to.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
Have this farm bill?

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Farmers are back on their feet, And then there was
an unholy alliance. If you notice, the farm bill is
also linked with food stamp funding. Rural politicians made a
deal with urban politicians that we're going to put these
two things together, and therefore our constituents in the cities
will get the food stamps. Your constituents in the country

(16:17):
will get their farm bill. And that's why, if you
take a look at the funding mechanism, those two things
are linked together hard. And as Rush Limbaugh said years ago,
I think during the Clinton administration, the US farmer at
some point, knowing when the farm bill got really big,
he said, the federal government just turned the US farmers
into the largest welfare recipient in.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
The United States.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Now, the way to fix this is get the government
out of farming, free up the farmers to set their
own prices, and turn them loose into the free market economy.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Well, in a world where we had smaller farmers and
not these massive corporate farms, you know, that might very
well work. But now these corporate farms are have massive,
massive lobbying abilities, and you know, and this is how
government works. Always isn't it. Jay. The bigger the entity,
the more power they wield over our elected officials, and
the more the more leverage they have. And so you know,

(17:13):
you got your your your tysons and your connagers or
whoever out there are the giant corporate farmers. You know,
we're not talking about a multitude of small farmers anymore.
So the landscape has changed since the earlier days, you know,
say post dust bowl. Anyway, Sorry, Jay, I look Joe's
screaming clock in my earn and he's right, Yeah, lots

(17:34):
of un package there, Jay, I don't disagree with what
you're saying. It's just another reflection of how government gets
in the mix and starts screwing things up, and what
government solution has ever really ultimately panned out. I've got
article after article about the fraud, wasted abuse, and the
food stamp program alone right in front of me. And
when you talk to numbers that you're talking about, I
were talking billions in billions stolen from food program, but

(17:57):
when compared to the overall expenditures of government, ultimately doesn't
add to i'mount to a whole lot, even though we
want to get rid of fraud waste and abuse five
twenty six. Right now, stick around more to talk about
I love phone calls. Out of that, we're going to
dive into local stories. Either way, we go be.

Speaker 8 (18:09):
Right back fifty five KRC your one stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Happy Tuesday to you Thursdays. I heart media aviation expert
Jay ratlve. He has been on hiatus because of his
Bell's policy palsy diagnosis and struggling with that. But apparently
he issued an optimistic statement yesterday on social media saying
looks like he's back. He'll be up and running this week,
and so I got my fingers crossed and thank you
to every one of the listening audience who offered Jay

(18:33):
ratl of support and prayers and everything. He seems like
he's on the right track, so it obviously helped that
further a DEO, it'll tiber to see what Tom wants. Tom,
Welcome to the Morning Show. It's always pleasure hearing from you,
my friend.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
Yeah, good morning, Welcome back to you, Welcome back to Joe,
your replacements today. Admirable job, but it's just not the
same with you guys not around. Well, thank you Bill Blad.
You guys are back. I hope you enjoyed your time off,
great time, and even though you maybe have a little
lingering brain fog, hopefully you got you got rested up

(19:05):
really well.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I did, Thank you good. I don't know if the
brain fog is from sleeping in and being a different schedule,
or maybe the bourbon that I drank over the weekend
at the combination.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
Of Yeah, the alcohol does come into play sometimes, doesn't
it lingering effects? So, uh, you guys are talking about
about money. Uh, Jay with all his research he does,
and and I can't speak for everybody, but I know
I greatly appreciate.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
Whenever Jay's on, I get informed things that I didn't know.
I I get to learn. So that's great. I appreciate it.
But you know, money, money, money, money, that's it. If
it ain't about the money, it's about the money. And
it's basically that I've said this many times and and
it bears repeating because all of this politics, and this

(19:57):
is both sides of the aisle, all of this po
stuff is about how can we get our hands on
more money? And and uh what what we just need
to keep in mind is that that the listeners and
and and you could talk to your families and friends.
That is your money that they are getting that you know,
they are forcing you to pay taxes, and then they

(20:18):
are coming up with every conceivable way for you to
pay taxes and for them to get as much money
out of out of you as they can. And and
the bluery your state is, the more money you're paying.
And and uh, it's just it's insanity because it's never
enough for them, and they keep coming up with causes,
and they keep coming up with with figures that are

(20:40):
just how did you come up with that many hundreds
of billions of dollars that you need to do that?
And it's it is, it is completely out of control.
You could argue that there there's really no there's really
no putting this animal back into cage. It's it's just
it's insanity. And so I just again strongly encourage people.

(21:02):
You know, I'm not a fan of everything that the
Republicans do. They have their own greed that they deal
with and they push on us and they take more
money from us and stuff like that. And we were
talking about the you know, the Speaker Johnson making sure
the farmers get money. There's no reason for us to
subsidize the farmer. The way we're supposed to subsidize the

(21:23):
farmers is buy their product. Isn't that the way this
is supposed to Well.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
That was a puzzling thing about what Jay's comment was
that this was an exchange. Snap was in exchange for
the farmers to get their farm bill. Well, SNAP is
us the American taxpayer putting money on a card so
that people can buy food, which directly directly helps the
American farmer because they're buying food. If you want to
put an extra restriction on it, say you have to

(21:47):
buy American food for example. I mean not that I'm
advocating for that necessarily. I don't think foodstams should be
able to pay for sodas and sugary non nutritious items.
But you know, let's say you have to buy products
that benefits the American farmer. Theoretic like just let it
fester run in your head and see if that might work.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Right.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
Well, so, so it's like we're we're paying money for
staff and then we're also giving money to the farmers. Well,
the question, I could what are we doing to the
farmers to where we need to subsidize them so much?
Because it's not like you know, we do have health
insurance companies with this, with all with this health bills
and you know, the alleged of Affordable Care Act and

(22:25):
all that, and we watch these health ashurance companies just
get richer and richer and and and all that. Well,
that's not happening to farmers now, you know far Well,
of course, the conglomerates aren't getting bigger, but the mom
and pop farmers and the smaller farmers they're they're going away.
So we're obviously we're getting our hands. And when I
say we, the government's getting their hands and stuff that

(22:47):
they got no business being in. I agree with Jay.
Let's let these people figure it out and at the
price of their own stuff, and and uh, based on
the market. And of course, you know we got Democrats
in there and all their stupid, crazy ideas, and it
just it runs the gamut of how ridiculous it is.
So don't vote Democrats. Have a great day.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Thanks Tom, You do the same. Yeah, if you think
your energy bill is bad, why do you think that is?
Demand keeps increasing, artificial intelligence facilities keep coming online, more
and more energy needed, and not enough production out there. Why, well,
you know the reason, global warming we deprive ourselves of
an efficient means of producing electricity, falling behind when you

(23:32):
compare ourselves to China and its rapid expansion and inability
to keep up with It's also growing demands for power.
We still chase our tails searching for a carbon neutral world,
which is a joke. I've got some great stories on
that coming up. We can dive on into it as
one particularly excellent article by Victor Davis Hansen which talks
about this, but amid other articles talking about more Americans

(23:55):
falling behind on the utility bills. Germany is a great
illustration of the failure climate policies, and now it's going
to require government subsidies for manufacturing industries to even afford
to be able to pay their energy bills. That means
the German taxpayer is eating this chart, this ridiculous additional
amount for power generation based upon global warming and using

(24:16):
windmills and solar panels rather than efficient productions like nuclear
and of course coal facilities natural gas. There are others
out there. They did this to themselves, so there's enough
time we can stop it in its tracks. But you
got to just get rid of that stupid religion you
bought into five thirty six fifty five KRC detalk station.
This is fifty five KRC and iHeart it is forty

(24:41):
fast approach in five forty one Here fifty five KRC
detalk station. Very happy Tuesday till you, Brian Thomas. Glad
to be back well kind of you know how it is.
It's nice being off work, but it's nice to be
able to come back to work anyhow. Calls are always
welcome here in the Morning Show, although we do have
a stack as stupid uh three seven four fifty two
three pound FI fifty on eight and t fence. Don't

(25:01):
forget your fifty five KRC dot com. The link there
you can stream the audio directly from the website to
get your iHeartMedia app, which is awesome. Appreciate everyone streaming
the audio. We have some great numbers. Joe, we got
to pat ourselves on the back here in the Morning Show.
You see the latest quarterly results. You don't get those,
well I have to ford them to you. So pat

(25:22):
yourself on the back. Joe Strecker for producing the program.
But it really is a wonderful thing. And I can't
thank you enough for streaming the audio or listening to
the terrestrial. That's great too. Anyway, over to the stack. Hey,
let's start in Florida, where we have an enraged girlfriend
who's been arrested and now facing multiple charges after attacking
her boyfriend because he sent some other woman five dollars.

(25:47):
Hey man, brother, thirty four year old Danielle Banks now
in custody on a seventy five thousand dollars bond. Clearly
this didn't take place in Hamilton County in front of
Judge Silverstein charge to the aggravated battery in the moreau
Coatti Sheriff's office. She became upset after discovering her boyfriend
had spent a five dollar payment or sent rather a
five dollar payment to another woman via a mobile app.

(26:09):
And here's a disturbing sentence from the article. She found
this payment when she was going through her boyfriend's phone.
What is that a rule in your relationship that you're
allowed to look at your partner's phone information? Now, I
wouldn't have a problem if my wife wanted to do it.

(26:30):
I guess I just kind of scratched my head and wonder,
why in the hell would she be interested in who
I'm talking to or what text I'm sending you know,
thirty three plus years of marriage in thirty seven years
of a relationship tends to go a long wait for
that trust factor anyway, that's disturbing to me. Corner of
the Lass report, Banks confronted her boyfriend after she found
this charge, calling him multiple derogatory names that's in quote,

(26:54):
and taking the situation to the next level by hitting
him multiple times in the face. Police found it a
shirt was torn stained with blood. After hitting him, she
allegedly retrieved a knife from the kitchen and threw it
at her boyfriend's head, cutting his face. After that, Banks
reportedly fled the scene, fled their shared home, or boyfriend
called nine to one one, telling dispatch that she had

(27:15):
stabbed him in the face. Apparently, US Border drol agent
followed Banks in an unmarked car until she stopped at
a nearby apartment. Sheriff's deputies and then arrived on the
scene and detained Banks, who attempted to hide inside her vehicle.
I could luck with that, Joe. How do you hide
inside your vehicle when it's surrounded by sheriff's deputy camouflaws shirt.

(27:41):
During questioning, she claims she threw a plate into the sink,
suggesting the police that a shard from that broken plate
caused the industry injury and not a knife. After telling
police this, she then invoked her right to remain silent.
Thank you. Liam. Boyfriend declyde to provide a written statement
and did not allow deputies to retrieve the knife from
the home, stating that the property was not his treated

(28:03):
by first responders, and left with his brother.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Dad.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Joe, you hit the nail on the head on that.
You might want to rethink that relationship, okay. Motorists told
police that he was busy attempting to urinate into a
Budweiser can when he accidentally ran into another vehicle on
a Montana roadway. Oh, how could you tell the difference
between the contents of an unopened Budweiser can and what

(28:32):
he put into it? Joe, excellent point made.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Who can argue with that?

Speaker 1 (28:36):
No one? Joe Strecker made the point improbable cause affidata
James Howard fifty three driving his Chevy Suburban in Missoui
on a Missola roadway when he slammed into the rear
of Volkswagen carrying two passengers. Highway patrol officer arrived at
the crash scene reported seeing Howard with a quote large
Budweiser beer can in his right hand, which he moved

(28:57):
into the center console court and police. Howard handed over
the beer can when asked, and when asked and said
it contained urine and not beer. Further explained that he
rear into the vehicle because he was attempting to urinate
into the beer can while driving. How hard is it? Well,
I made it more difficult, didn't it. Joe Volkswagen driver
told cops he was a stop light after exiting the

(29:19):
Unit Expressway when he saw lights approaching in his rearview
mirror and told his girlfriend a brace for impact. Howard,
who claimed to have consumed only one beer, reportedly smelled
of alcohol, his speech was slow and slurred, and his
pants were wet with urine. Cord to the rest Dabbadevid,
Howard stated that he had not more than a couple
of d wise and was not supposed to be driving.

(29:47):
Howard told a police quote as close as I can
make it in the quote, I'm going to jail for
a f wording long time. Well, at least he was
aware of his situation and please check if his driver's
history showed that his license had been suspended early in
the month that he had four four prior impaired driving convictions,
postcrafts and toxalizer tests registered as blood alcohol concentration at

(30:08):
more than three times the legal limit. How many budwiseres
would you have to drink Joe to get three times
the legal limit? Tree Fitty. They'll be three hundred and
fifty arrested for aggravated UI fellnally, reckless driving, driving with
a suspended license, both misdemeanors being held in the county
jail in little of a ten thousand dollars bond five

reminding you fifty five CARCA dot com. Remember the Steinholding Championship,

inaugural National Steinholding Championships taking place right here in Cincinnati,

November twenty second. Go there and have fun. Get yourself
a T shirt. See don't you wish you had a
T shirt from the first Super Bowl? This is going
to be bigger than the Super Bowl. At some point
in time. Maybe not anyway. Democratic Representative Brad Sherman. Oh,
this is back to the stack of stupid. In case
you didn't get that note, firing back after photos went

(31:13):
viral showing him viewing explicit images on a tablet while
on an airplane. Why are you doing? Seventy one year
old California congressman had their images posted on X this
past Friday, showing him with his mouth open scrolling through
photos of women in their underwear. As of Saturday evening,

(31:36):
see this is why it sucks being a public official
twelve point four million viewers as of Saturday. I'd love
to see an update on that one, Joe. I bet
it's doubled since then. He denied the allegations. The spokespostion
for the congressman told Fox News Digital and others that
the pictures appeared because of his algorithm on X. I know, hey, Joe,

(31:57):
how is an algorithm created? Isn't it? Because the gathers
up content that you previously viewed and then shows you
things that it thinks you once based upon your prior
clicks and likes an interests. Right, That's why this makes
no sense. Spokesmansten for Sherman said this was nothing more
than scrolling through Twitter, and unfortunately Elon Musk has ruined
the Twitter algorithm to give people content that they don't

(32:20):
ask for or subscribe to. Whatever. Thank you. Liam Sherman
also said that the images were heard on his X
feet under the quote for you close quote section of X,
which apparently is a page showing recommended content. This was
on Twitter. These pictures came up on for you, he
said to punch Bowl News, adding he had viewed a

(32:41):
variety of posts during his flight. Quote. If you have
to fly across the country, you look at a lot
of stuff on your tablet. If I see a picture
of a woman, might I look at it longer than
a sunset? Yeah? Thanks to the algorithm. Yeah, it's Elon
Musk's fault, Joe, he thought. He said whether he thought

(33:03):
the content was appropriate to you on a plane? He said,
quote is it pornography? I don't think Elon Musk thinks
so is it appropriate?

Speaker 4 (33:13):
No?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
So he finally got to the ask no question, and
he answered, no, it's not appropriate, even though he was
doing it. Donald Trump had a respond Donald Trump Junior
rather single viral post Yike's triple Question or a triple
exclamation point, and in response to that one, Sherman posted

(33:35):
an edited version of the video showing his iPad screen
replaced with the words repeat released the Epstein files, to
which I'm sure Donald Trump Junior said, well, my dad
said he's already gonna do that, so you can just
wait till maybe today Tuesday for those Epstein files to
be ordered released. I'm not sure what Sherman got out
of that one.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Me.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Isn't there a sense of self awareness? You're in an airplane,
you're an elected official, people know who you are, and
you're scrolling through neudie picks or even scantly clad women picks.
Wait till you get to your hotel room or home.
Simple advice. Women of Washington State's been accused of killing

(34:25):
a man after putting fentanyl in his drink at a
hotel casino. Thirty four year old Raylan Benzi facing charges
including murder, controlled substance homicide, placing poison or other harmful
substances in a drink, robbery, and theft. Court documents. Sy
officers with the Cowlitz Tribe Police Department sent to the
Illani Casino hotel for reported death finding thirty eight year

(34:48):
old man deaded a hotel room identified as Arsland, just
as Arslan mononim. Victim only had one legal name. Court
of the documents, police believe that Benzi gave the man
a deadly dose of fentanyl in his drink, then stole
from him. She was arrested the end of October. During
police interview, she said she described she decided to give

(35:10):
Arsland fentanyl because she forgot to bring, in her words,
the date rape drug do what Hells, the one that
she usually used to put men to sleep before robbing them.
Text messages from Benzi to friends who reportedly detailed her
plans the drug and rob the victim of his casino winnings.

most notably this. You know, we're speaking about how expensive

everything has gotten and that's a number one concern politically
for all politicians. Affordabile. Well, who created the lack of
affordability and energy? Hmmm, ig, I wonder and you know

from my forty eight break enjoyed myself recommending everyone to
try a bourbon tour sometime. We had a really great time.

(36:41):
The only one we went to was Castle and Key
and was just outstanding. So not even a huge bourbon guy,
am I Just the whole process that this the neat
creation of that facility over years, the number of hands
it's changed, the fact that it was completely dilapidated and
falling in on top of itself. When the most recent
investor came in and turned it around. It is gorgeous
and a really beautiful day. We were blessed. So to

(37:02):
my friends and to my wife, thank you for the
absolutely fantastic weekend. Of course, to you and Gary, Jeff
Walker and Dan Carroll for covering for me while I

At eight oh five, beginning with a bright Bart inside

Bart Border News director Brandon Darby, who's going to be
doing an empower You seminar tonight beginning at seven pm.
Remember a power Youoamerica dot org. Log in and make
sure you register before the seminar begins. Going to be
a great seminar. We get some of the details again
at eight to five, follow by the Daniel Davis Deep Dive.
Lots of developments I talked about in the last hour
of the Security Council. Un Security Council has been totally

(37:46):
rallied and they are all on board with Donald Trump's
proposal to deal with Amas, the war between Israel and
Hamas and disarming Hamas as a predicate to moving forward
and doing anything. Just a boiled down summary of that one,
which I consider a huge victory considering China and Russia
do have a veto power resolution past thirteen oh China

(38:07):
Russia ubstained. That's amazing amount of leverage, considering there's nothing
in that that it can be remotely considered pro Hamas,
and that it is well, at least the Journal's description
of it, the most pro Israeli resolution that has come
out of the UN in like well forever. So also

(38:27):
have Daniel Davis talking about Emanuel Macrone promising to send
one hundred fighter jets Ukraine and of course Ukraine continues
to clamor for Tomahawk missiles. He's a pretty bleak opinion
of Ukraine status in that war, and I kind of
share that opinion with Daniel Davis, will get him at
the bottom of the eight o'clock hour, Dan Claire Communications
direct our Communications Office for the Disabled American Veterans about

(38:49):
finding jobs for disabled vets. That's a great cause right there.
We'll talk with Dan at eight forty and then we'll
get a last segment with Cover since he's John Ruhlman,
who will be our end the expert, and he'll have
great advice. I think for Medicare folks getting on its
open enrollment, your plan is being offered by your employer
right now, critical time to talk with the folks that Cover,

(39:10):
since he strongly encourage you doing that. Anyhow, over to
Victor David Hanson, and I was talking about the climate
change reality, and you know, it just makes me feel
good that I have been what I believe to be
right on this whole carbon dioxide global warming crap that
we've been fed and it's all coming home to roost,
not in a good way for the global warming believers.

(39:33):
And he writes it. For decades, the monolithic and sacriscaink
international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations, in particular,
spent trillions of dollars over the past half century to
subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing
carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like diversity,

(39:53):
equity and inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into
every aspect of Western culture from the corporate boreroom to
the university campus and pondered that for a moment, what
a coordinated effort that was. If you question whether man
made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather
than natural often centuries long cycles of heating and cooling

(40:17):
of the planet, like me, one was labeled a climate crank.
Brian Thomas climate crank. Everything from declining fertility to forest
fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change, but the causes
of both democratic demographic crises fertility rate and charred landscapes
were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that

(40:39):
saw child rearing as too expensive and time consuming and
underscore misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting. Yet reality has
caught up with the near religious climate change cult. And
I'll take away that near word from Victor David Hanson's
analysis it's a religious cult. One point one. The left

(41:04):
wing tech billionaires, exemplified by former climate change zell at
Bill Gates, have become apostates of the green movement. Well,
I guess they have because to follow the green movement
means their money making machine artificial intelligence is going to
go nowhere, and China will dominate them. They appreciate, for
the sake of their own business interest that they can't
cling to this religious climate change cult because it's going

(41:26):
to ruin them financially. Does that make sense, of course
it does. Now they do not warm of a planet
threatened by too much man made heat, but rather by
two little man made killo wattage. They believe artificial intelligence
will prove as transformative as the industrial revolution, but to
win the artificial intelligence revolution will require a vast increases

(41:47):
in electricity production of up to a staggering one hundred
gigawatts a year of additional capacity. Such enormous demand to
build the equivalent of one hundred huge power plants every
year is far beyond the ability of renewables alone. Instead,
the only solution is in all of the above strategy,
building more nuclear, natural gas, clean colar. And then there's

(42:10):
the wind and solar generation plants, which can go along
with the rest, because we of course need constant energy
production to back up the sporadic wind and solar generation.
To Ascendant China's two, this is in point number two.
Ascendant China's massive arms build up and its bullying belt
and road imperialism have finally put international climate accords into question.

(42:35):
Even the environmentalist King Karl sixteenth Gustava Sweden recently let
it slip that he's trouble by why Europe sabotaged its
own economy by shutting down its formerly efficient nuclear and
fossil fuel plants, reminding the world that the European Union
nations contribute only six percent of the planet's carbon emissions.

(42:57):
West finally realizes that a cent China has been playing
it for years by funding green propaganda abroad. Again. I
was so happy he made the point, because he's got
more credibility than I do. I've been pointing this out forever.
Who dominates social media, who dominates everything online, who's has
bought farms of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of computers,

(43:18):
generating this propaganda and feeding it to you because you
well don't question it in the sanity behind it, or
maybe you don't have sufficient information. Here, here's a hockey
stick study. We're right, you believe this. Don't believe your
own eyes and ears on everything else that's been pointed out,
which may turn to different reasons for the so called
climate crisis. I'm sorry, I'm interjecting my own thoughts. Apologies

(43:39):
to Victor David Hanson back to him. Indeed, be Beijing
guilt tripped Europe in the United States on global waring
warming well, it exported billions of dollars of cheap wind
and solar generation products, often below in its own cost
of production. Meanwhile, China plows ahead building two or three
colon nuclear generation plants per month. Under the propagandistic banner

(44:04):
of climate change. China hopes that its Western competitors invest
in inefficient and high priced renewable energy. Meanwhile, its own
expanding fossil fuel and nuclear industries ensure that it will
enjoy global price advantages in both trade and armament. It
benefits China for you to believe in this religion. Three,

(44:28):
the global climate crisis shakedown has become shameless. Huh. Formerly
third world nations now demand from the West hundreds of
billions of dollars in so called climate reparations for carbon
emissions released decades ago. Yes, the West burned oil, oil,
and gas, but it also provided the rest of the
world with carbon fueled cars, factories, and modern consumer goods.

(44:50):
Green critics fail to concede that almost all global technology
and modern industrial products come from either the West or
westernizing copycats. Zero point four. Energy production is that the
nexus of conflict and can mean life or death for nations.
To the degree of the United States and its allies
produce lots of natural gas and oil, they can protect

(45:13):
the West from crippling embargoes and cutoffs from anti Western
energy producers. During the Ukraine War, America exported liquefied natural
gas to Europe, not solar panels or turbine blades, and
it will be increasingly essential to keep europe afloat as
Russia turns off its exports. Bigot when oil and gas
are affordable thanks to the fossil fuel production of Western

(45:35):
nations than illiberal and bellicose oil exporting countries like Iran
and Russia have less money to spend on aggressive wars
or subsidizing their global terrorists. Five point five. Science is
not fossilized in amber, but dynamic and changing. Increasingly. Climatologists

(45:57):
are no longer afraid of being bully by global green skulds.
They point out that while accurate temperature recording is only
a couple of one hundred a couple of centuries old,
the planet has been here for over four billion years,
and it reveals plenty of evidence of natural climate volatility.
Extreme heat and cold spells lasted in nature for centuries

(46:21):
undid so long before humans appeared little more than three
hundred thousand years ago. There's that pesky fun fact. So
the public is sick of pseudoscientific activists pedaling their doom
and gloom wares of their own particular and profitable agendas.
Ela green gurus often buy seaside estates Barack Obama while
warning of devastating tidal waves to come. They fly in

(46:45):
carbon spewing private jets while ordering the poor to turn
down their air conditioners. In some carbon is dead, Long
Live carbon victor David Hanson some fun facts poorting his points.
Lots of information out about the cost of electricity, and
we all know the reason behind its increase in price

dight two to three talk nun five fifty on eighteen
and T phone QN You see kinetics pain you got
at six twenty one to fifty five kr CD talk station. Yeah.

(47:28):
Further to the energy issue, situation here in Germany's. This
is you know, there are so many parallels between what
Germany's doing right now and so far as dealing with
its energy crisis, a self created crisis. You know, government
creates crises by turning off the legitimate, reliable spigot of
efficient power and makes you use a windmill, and then
the prices go up, and there's the intermittent power, there
are brownouts. It's costing the industries. Basically, their entire industry

(47:52):
is fleeing because the price has gotten so expensive. Enter
a government solution. This is so much like Obamacare and
the COVID nineteen subsidies. So Germany has now agreed to
subsidize electricity for at least heavy industry, which means they're
capping prices per kilowatt hour in order to save the
industrial base from basically leaving because of the energy costs

(48:14):
are so damn expensive in Europe, they pay double what
we pay here double and they don't have to. They're
surrounded by an abundance of you know, carbon based energy production.
They used to have nukes with the only with the
exception of France, who saw that would be stupid to
cut off their noses by their face, Germany got rid
of all theirs. Germany's power market as happens to be

(48:37):
the largest in Europe, and they pointed out that since
twenty twenty two, the energy crisis, then power prices have
remained volatile, spiking again this fall is renewable generation faltered
and gas fired output surged to its highest level since
twenty twenty one. Wait a minute, I thought we were
supposed to get rid of that evil carbon produced energy.

(48:57):
Low wind speeds, weak hydro output and grid bottomnecks force
Germany to burn more natural gas and coal to stabilize supply.
The operative word being stabilized, because you need stable electricity
for a factory to actor or to be able to
build automobiles for example. Industry groups are you ready, here
we go, Come on. Obamacare subsidies shut down parallels. Industry

(49:23):
groups say these temporary subsidies temporary essential to prevent production
from shifting overseas, Critics pointing out in only papers over
deeper structural problems in this case with energy production, aging,
infrastructure permitting, and unreliable renewable output. In the case of Obamacare,
of course, the fact that it just doesn't work premiums

(49:47):
keep going up because the number of claims being paid
under Obamacare, the premiums don't cover it. Enter an increase
in premium. Let's cover up the increase in premium by
offering it well for free. We'll give everybody a tax subsidy. Know,
the premium didn't go away, it just landed in the
American taxpayer's pocket to pay. And that what of when

(50:07):
the subsidies end. To this point, Berlin hopes the three
year relief period brought about by these subsidies will buy
time to extend grid capacity and add flexible generation. Analysts
those saying unless those projects materialize quickly, the country's got
to be facing another round of industrial contraction by the

(50:27):
decades and when there's six when these subsidies end. So
it's temporary, and it probably will allow some of these
elected officials to say, no, no, no, it's all under control.
The industry is getting all these subsidies. So then I
feel in the pain from the stupid energy generation of
policies we pursued. So let's just kick back and not
add flexible generation in the form of nuke's, coal, natural gas.

(50:51):
Let's just let the windmills work while the subsidies rain,
and our deficits go bigger and bigger and bigger. It's Obamacare.
And instead of the belief that you know, the extension
of these subsidies would buy us time during COVID, so
we'll get through COVID and everybody everything will go back
to status quo. The Democrat strategy was not to change

(51:12):
Obamacare fundamentally alter how it works so it becomes more
affordable on its own. It was, of course, these subsidies.
The subsidies were set to expire. COVID's expired. They haven't
come up with a solution to fix the problem. Naturally,
they want to extend the subsidies, masking the insanity that

(51:32):
Obamacare is. Terry's on the phone, Terry, hang on if
you don't mind. It's six twenty fund a Tuesday, A
happy one to you. Five one, three, seven, four nine
fifty eight hundred eighty two three talk tun five to
fifty on AT and T phones. Thanks to Terry who
held over the Breakterr, I appreciate you holding. Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Hey, good morning. Well we were talking about the the
oil and how Terry is funding. But you remember when
sawed Lusseain used oil as a terrorist weapon and spewed
out about a hundred and ten years worth of oil.
Didn't affect the weather much at all because drifted, you know,
to the east, and when you look up the weather

(52:09):
patterns they really didn't change.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Probably not. And you know, there's all kinds of volcanoes
that blow up every year, and those belch out more
carbon dioxide and more pollutants than anything we can do
to negate that from the atmosphere. But yeah, you're right,
Terry Little. I remember that lit them all on fire
was kind of stupid and acting environmental disaster, But I
don't remember anyone complaining about global warming as a consequence
of that.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Terry to you, well, no, that's that's what when they
were talking about. I had college classes, you know, here
and there I had to take when I was on
active duty. And then I asked the professor, I said,
what about the oil well fire study? What oil fires
long than Kuwait? One hundred and ten years worth of
oil went up in the air. That should be an indicator.
Did you follow it?

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Did we?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
I said, I don't see any temperature changes or anything else.
What you allude to, you know.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
Terry, you stumbled another issue here that I think is
worthy of elaborating on. And let me thank you for
your service to our country. But since you did serve
the American militaries all over the globe, how much carbon
do side? Do you think America's military belches out annually?
How much carbon dioxide and global warming pollutants are emitted
as a consequence of Russia and Ukraine fighting each other,

(53:17):
or Russia and the Hamas fighting each other. We could
go on and on and on, couldn't we? But I've
never heard of global warming alarmist talk about that at all.
Nor do I hear from Democrats, like for example, who
are interested in continuing to fund Ukraine and fight Russia.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Yeah, but they don't ever want to talk about the
Democratic president that gave rise to our nuclear navy, and
that was Jimmy Carter.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
That's a good point too, nuclear navy that's been working. Actually,
I've had nuclear ships in the in the water since
late nineteen fifties and not a single accident.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Terry.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
It's amazing, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Yeah, Like I said, go to President Jimmy Carter. He
believed in nuclear power because he worked on it his
whole military career.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Yeah, well, all right, he hadn't.

Speaker 10 (53:55):
Great the points.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Terry always welcome to call the show with great points.
You can feel free to call it as well. What
do you think of this, since I grew up on
the West Side and I'm painfully familiar with this area
that the City of Cincinnati is now deciding to now
is installing center turn lane bumps Glenaway Avenue between Ralph
and Gurley, described as part of a pilot program to

(54:17):
address uns saved drivers over in West Price Hill. The
bumps seven feet wide three inches tall, apparently designed in
this particular case to keep live drivers in their lanes
rather than using the center turn lane to weave in
and out of traffic. So you have idiots, so you're
going to be slowed down there and anyplace else. They
put these in because idiots, rather than wait in line

(54:39):
for their turn to reach the intersection and drive through
or take a left or right, are going around you
using the center lane and then jumping back in front
of you. Wilissa McVeigh, Department of Transportation Engineering, said city
senior planner. We've been hearing from folks on the West
Price Hill that there are some wild drivers that have

(55:01):
been using the turn lane on Glenways a way to
sort of pass slower and weave in and out of traffic,
and this was making residents feel really unsafe. Welcome to
speed bumps on Gloomway Avenue. Apparently, according to her, drivers
going over these bumps at anything above fifteen miles per
hour will, in her words, feel it kind of like

(55:25):
literally driving at any speed up and down sunset for
the past twenty years. Man facing several charges after he
led police on a pursuit and a stolen car, ending
in a crash to cause serious injuries to another driver.
Twenty year old Derek Banks charged with failure to comply
receiving stolen property in Flordia's assault after he allegedly pointed
a gun at a Springfield police officer over Saturday night

(55:47):
while driving a vehicle from Green Hills, then began to
flee police, heading north on Ice seventy five before getting
on State Route one twenty three to Franklin. In Franklin,
he crashed into a van from behind at the intersection
is sixth and Maine, causing serious injuries to the woman
in the van. Stay Patrol Middletown's and Middletown said Banks
also crashed into a Middletown police cruiser head on held

(56:13):
on a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond. Troopers
said he will face additional charges depending on the conditions
of the woman he crashed into. Family of the bystanders
said that she is in the hospital with severe broken bones.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Thanks to Gary, Jeff Walker, and Dan Carroll for covering
for me last Friday and yesterday, respectively. Appreciate them doing
that so I could take a couple of days off.
And I always appreciate hearing from west Side Jim. West
Side Jim kind of expected maybe to hear from you.
Is this in concert? Does this relate to the story
that I read about the speed arms on Glenway Avenue?
My friend?

Speaker 11 (56:54):
Hey, Yeah, Brian, good morning Ice pleasure that one that
I test, That's what I text you about day. Yeah,
there's four or five of these, I can't remember. I've
counted them a couple of times, but they're not the
standard speed humps, the ones that you see in the
middle of the street, and they mark hump on them
are wider and higher than what these are. These they

(57:17):
dug up the street in the middle lane. Of course
what you read not to be repetitious, but they're black top,
and what they do is they put a little yellow
arrow on it. Gone both ways, but they're smaller and
if you logistically drive in between, you can hit these.

(57:39):
You can still go sixty miles an hour and not
hit these humps. Now, if you look at the humps,
the old speed humps on the edges, they're all racked
up because I guess the trucks during the winter tore
these things up on the ends. So I guess they've
kind of learned their lesson go ahead.

Speaker 8 (57:59):
I'm sorry, no, no, I.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Just was responding, hm. I wasn't aware that they deteriorated
that way. I had a question though, for you, because
when I saw that you were calling, and I did
joke around, I guess Sunset is finally being repaved.

Speaker 11 (58:12):
That's what Kevin Aldred said.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Yeah, okay, so let's assume that is the case. But
let me ask you this, considering how terrible that street
has been for so many years, that you really you
really can't speed on it, or you do so at
your own peril and the resulting risk of maybe damaging
a rim or having to have your car realigned. Wouldn't
it be easier rather than dealing with these speeders and
these idiots are driving around the roads and then put

(58:35):
speed bumps in. Why don't just let all the roads
fall apart like Sunset to the point where you can't speed.

Speaker 11 (58:40):
On them, or you could dig them up instead of
repairing them and put the rose holes.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
In dirt roads. Well, and that would be more aligned
with have to Have Pearvall's idea about greening the city.
And he's not interested in having you know, well unless
you're you're you're with this new contrast project project the
largest and over the Rhne. He's not interested in allowing
you to build housing with garages in it, right, He's
not interested in parking lots because his goal is to

(59:09):
get rid of the cars and have since any to
be this walking community. So maybe that is the direction
to go for a have to Have provo. Just don't compare
the red.

Speaker 11 (59:18):
That's ridiculous too. But I'll keep you up on Sunset
with pictures and so forth on the production of it.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
But no those.

Speaker 11 (59:26):
I don't think that those new so called speed humps
are going to stop these crazies, man, I mean, you
wouldn't believe it. You got to constantly look. If you're
going to turn into let's say, Price Heal Chili, they're
a shot, and you do what you're supposed to do.
You drive down the street and then when you want
to turn in there about maybe fifty seventy five feet
you put your turn signal on, which most people don't

(59:47):
know what that thing and what a turn signal is. Yeah,
and then you get in that lane and turn in there.
And these people are nuts. I mean, they don't like
sitting in line. And the city ca this problem because
of putting in speed humps farther down, so all the
traffic backs up, and they don't want to sit there

(01:00:08):
and wait and guarantee you.

Speaker 7 (01:00:12):
Or higher.

Speaker 11 (01:00:13):
These people do not have insurance and so forth, because
you can tell by the cars and they're all beat up.
And yeah, I'm I'm stereotyping them, but I don't want
to get hit by one of these clowns. I mean,
I don't want to have to pay my own insurance
out of this thing to fix my car.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Well, obviously this is apparently and you know, I was
kind of questioning whether this was that serious a problem
that they had to put these things in in an
effort to stop it. And I understand they're looking for solutions, Jim,
but you're confirming that it is as bad, if not worse,
than I've read about. I didn't realize this was such
a big problem. And if that is a place where
there's massive numbers of traffic violations and might I underscore

(01:00:53):
extremely dangerous ones as you describe it, why isn't there
a better police presence there? That'll be like shooting fishing
a barrow in terms of issuing citations.

Speaker 11 (01:01:03):
Well, there's a lot of cops. Especially when a gun run,
you'll see six to eight cop cars go flying down
and they use that center lane. So I don't know
what's going to happen with that, with the fire trucks,
the ambulances and the police cars. When there's an emergency
and then the traffic's all backed up, they're going to
have to use that lane with all the speed humps
in it too. And not that I'm gonna get off

(01:01:26):
my grass kind of a guy, but these these speed humps,
I don't think we're that necessary to the business owners
up there, and I talked to a couple of them.
They liked the idea of these going in because of
the fact of people flying by unless they can't get
into their businesses.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
No, I get that. I just if it's that big
of a problem, I mean, if you had a regular
police cruiser there just for the purpose of issuing citations
for these idiots, that wouldn't that stop that from happening.
Greater police presidents, less crime. I mean, I don't unders
stay in the allocation of police resources in these complicated
times we have. But again, you generate revenue for the city,

(01:02:05):
why don't they jack up the price for that type
of traffic offense to make it something really, really really expensive,
you know, like five hundred dollars for trying to pass
in the center lane might stop people from doing it
if they started issuing more citations of folks. I don't know,
it just seems like I just I'm just shocked that
it's that bad of a problem.

Speaker 11 (01:02:23):
Well, I agree with you, Ryan, but all of a sudden,
they're going to go to court, and you know what
happens when they go to court and you get some
liberal judge up there that's going to think that we're
going on the oppressed type of a person, and they're
going to think that, well, that's only a traffic citation.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Well wait a minute, are do only the oppressed commit
traffic violations like that?

Speaker 5 (01:02:43):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
I'm sorry, I think that's.

Speaker 11 (01:02:46):
To you that the majority of the people that are
doing this, especially in Price Hill, are the oppressed type
of a person. I mean, if you just look inside
the car and see the lady that is going to
Walmart up here with twelve kids in the car and
there's all kind of garbage and stuff in the car. Yes, yeah,
there is a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I am. I am because I know people like that
a fluid like let's say, white guys with a short
temper who refuse to abide by the rules because they
don't think it applies to them and are busy to
go on their merry way to get their stuff done
because it's more important than following the law. If there's
a lot of people out there that I would not,
in any way, shape or form called disadvantaged.

Speaker 11 (01:03:28):
Well, you know, getting back to the speed humps, I
agree with you, But getting back to those speed humps,
I just don't know how the trucks in the winter
are going to handle these things either, because if they
were tearing up the corner edges of the concrete ones,
what are they going to do with blacktop? I mean
when you take one of those blades down. Yeah, yeah,
one of those trucks, they're going to hit these blacktop

(01:03:49):
and they're gonna be out there repairing these things constantly
because it's only blacktop. I watched them do this. They
dug up, they put bricks down underneath the blacktop, and
then they just put black top.

Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
On the top.

Speaker 11 (01:04:00):
There's no like three bar and stuff like that in there.
I watched him do this for a week. I mean,
got a horrible life.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Well way, don't you think that the powers that be
that come up with these solutions would anticipate that at
some point we're gonna get snowed on and that a
snow plow with that massive blade is going to have
to go over them, that they have engineered them in
such a way that that's not going to happen, or
maybe it might giving them too much credit for advanced planning, Jim.

Speaker 11 (01:04:29):
Yeah, that's that's it, right, Yeah, Okay, you're talking about
the city. Brian you're talking about the city of Cincinnati.
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
That's called a low slow softball, and you just effectively
hit it out of the park. Thank you, Westside Jim.
I love your brother anyway.

Speaker 11 (01:04:43):
Thanks Brian, Take care.

(01:05:06):
at eight forty and eight to fifty with cover since
he's John Rohlman packing them in on the eight o'clock hour.
A further Local News didn't get to this, but I'm
kind of scratching my head, and let me start by
saying this, this project, I think is a good project.
I love the city of Cincinnati. I like when private
developers can choose their own path. I like when developments
get approved, and this one seems to answer a lot

(01:05:27):
of people's questions about housing. Although it does not have
anything to do with affordable housing, and yet here we
go Buckingham Companies now have opened this building. It's called
contrast Otr. And thank you to Brian Panelapp of since
a business career for passing along the info on this
sixty five million dollar development. He points out it faced
nine years of community opposition. What's it got. It's got

(01:05:52):
a lot of apartments, two hundred and seventy six apartments.
It's eleven square feet of ground floor commercial space along
the streetcar line. It's on the north side of Liberty
between Elm and Central Parkway, and it's huge. What does
it gut in it thirteen hundred and seventy four dollars apartments.

(01:06:15):
Studio apartments start at thirteen seventy seventy four. So if
you want to jump up to a single back a
full bedroom, I think it's a little bit more money
than that. Notably so I mentioned studio. It started in
a monthly rent of thirteen seventy four. One bedroom start
at fifteen hundred dollars, and then you get your two

(01:06:35):
and three bedroom units, the largest of which coming into
thirteen hundred and ninety eight square feet. Hey, Joe, how's
this sound for monthly rent four thousand, nine hundred and
seven dollars four nine hundred and seven. And I think
about that, what that would translate into a monthly mortgage

(01:06:56):
payment where you would actually be building up equity over time.
That is renting an apartment the right way to go.
I mean, we were talking a couple of days ago,
a week ago or so, about these fifty year mortgages,
and you know whatever I mean, I view a fifty
year mortgages maybe a bad thing. You're going to be
settled with mortgage debt the rest of your life. No,
you can refinance. Mortgage rates or interest rates are invariably

(01:07:18):
going to go down at some point. You can lock
into a lower interest rate in a shorter term, but
you get equity in return, unlike an apartment where you
were saddled with rent every single month forever without any
equity built in. So there's you know, an argument that
you can make about that. Hey, look it's got parking
one hundred and ninety four parking spaces for one hundred
and ninety four of the two hundred and seventy five
or two undred and seventy six apartments, So they have that,

(01:07:44):
and does anybody know if this is consistent with the
connected communities that have to have. Pearlvoll has shoved down
all the all the neighborhoods, you know, throats.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
That.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
I'm happy though that private company they're keeping the property,
they're gonna own it, they're gonna manage it, they're gonna
run it, and they're gonna make profit off of it.
Isn't that the way it's supposed to work? So six
fifty six, fifty five KRCD Talk Station were to talk
about in the seven o'clock hour, and I certainly would
love to hear from you, So feel free to call
me right back after these words and news.

Speaker 10 (01:08:17):
Today's top headlines coming.

Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
Up Groups Peace fifty five krc.

Speaker 10 (01:08:23):
The talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
It's seven oh six at fifty five KRCD Talk Station.
By the time. It's back from four days thanks again
to Garret, Jeff Walker and Dan Carah were covering for
me a couple days. I was off really hit a
wonderful weekend, and I'm strongly encouraging you. If you've never
gone on a bourbon tour, go on one. It's really neat,
even if you don't drink bourbon. Fun times and I'll
give props to the Castle and Key Distillery read out
side of Frank for great place. So if you've never

(01:09:03):
been on one, that's one I can strongly recommend. It
was really a cool time. Get a wonderful, wonderful time
doing that. Going over to the phones five on three
seven two three talk count Fay fifty on AT and
T phones. Going to start with Corey, Jim hang on
and get you next. Corey, thanks for calling this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:09:20):
Good morning Brian and calling today from Crawfordville, Indiana.

Speaker 11 (01:09:24):
All right, listening to the apps black.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Always, thank you very much, appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (01:09:31):
Wellt's solution the speeding problems.

Speaker 6 (01:09:33):
We can always ban Dodge chargers and Nissan Maximus.

Speaker 11 (01:09:37):
That might do it.

Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
I don't know, but here's the thought that charge I.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Could possibly let's lit the chargers in the maximums. How
did you pick those two cars out of all the
cars out in the world.

Speaker 6 (01:09:52):
It seems like those some type of cars that like
to uh drive radically and might be beat up.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
All right, all right to that. The solution is not
speed bumps. The solution is to put everyone behind the
wheel of a buick because apparently you can't even reach
the speed limited to it, So go ahead, Cory, that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:10:11):
But one other thing I can see in the future
coming with all the technology, very very possible, as if
you have your phone and you're driving, use your GPS.
Your phone can tell you what the speed limit is
in that area you're driving. I can see in the
future the cars only allowing you to go what the
speed limit is on the road you're driving on.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. And with Big Brother, with Big
Brother watching, insurance companies are going to hook up to
your car as well by the data find out if
you are a speeder or you're not a speeder, and
then you're got premium is going to be adjusted real time. Accordingly,
that's a mechanism to get people to slow down if
you're going to be paying for it every single time
and they're going to know about a real time that
you're speeding or violating the law, I can see that coming.

(01:10:52):
But you know, I got to tell you. We have
a Kia tell you rides a couple of years old.
We just bought it recently, so we've got to use car.
It's got this the post speed limen built into the electronics,
so it's on a pop up screen. It says thirty
five mile per hour zone. So there's no denying how
fast you were. Your your speed limit is what your
speed limit is in the car, So that's already arrived.

(01:11:14):
Well appreciate Corey. So it's chargers in the silence. Jim,
welcome to the program. Thanks for call this morning. Happy Tuesday,
Still morning, Brian.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
I just have to chuckle about these high interest rates.
I lived during a quarter inflation boom, and when I
moved to the company moved me to Phillip from Harrisburg,
PA and eighty four, they gave me a really good deal.
I got a twelve percent interest in rate because the

(01:11:45):
company moved me and I was paying like they were
thirteen in Harrisburg. Yeah, so six point five as well.
That would have been great back then.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
But you know it would have and you know I listen, Jim,
I have said many many times. The first house my
wife and I I bought in Oak Park, Illinois, we
were up in Chicago. Decided we want to have place
for him for the purpose of building equity. We bought down,
bought down with three points. We had three points. We
paid to get down to eight and an eighth on

(01:12:14):
a seven to twenty three balloon, not even a thirty
year fixed mortgage. It was eight in a eight, so
you know, three points in what we negotiated. So the
seller paid the points. We paid more than the house
was worth to get the three points, so because we
didn't have that kind of money in our pocket. But
it all worked out. But still we bought eight in
an eighth on a seven to twenty three balloon. So
you know, I see six percent interest rates on a

(01:12:35):
thirty year fix and I'm like, well, you know what,
I would have jumped all over that in our first house.
I mean it was actually a great that's an impossible
rate back then, nineteen ninety fun. So yeah, so it
is so Jim, is your point kind of like suck
it up, buttercup kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
It's like, oh, this is I mean, I'm sorry, but
the idiots got the first race down. There's zero at overnight.
The FED was insane. That's what's caused all this in
place that we're playing side prices for, is it? And
we weren't charging proper interest rates at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Well in six percent, it's not a.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
Bad interest rate.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Now now that's not And you talk about the sub
primaries where people that got out of bankruptcy. Yesterday we
were able to get four hundred thousand dollars loans. Today
you had a real problem on your hands. That is terrible,
terrible actuarial work. You want to find out if someone
can't afford the loan that you're giving them, and none
of that was done at all during the bubble, and
of course it burst. But then again, I will give

(01:13:36):
a nod to people who are saying yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well,
you know, suck at a buttercup. But there's very few
houses available. That's the problem. This laws of supplying the
man have kicked in the market. Forces are a lot
different in the real estate market than they were ten, fifteen,
twenty thirty years ago, obviously post COVID, and then we
have an influx of twenty thirty million illegal immigrants in
this country. While they may not be able to purchase

(01:13:57):
a home, they need a place to stay. That has
a ripple effect. You know, everybody's got to find a
place to stay. So what's out there and available is
not nearly as much because the population has also gone
up over that period of time. So it's not as
simple as just saying, you know, if the interest rates
were lower, people could afford to buy a house. Now,
I think if the interest rates were lower, there'll be

(01:14:18):
more people out in the market looking for a house,
and all the available stock, as limited as it is,
laws of supply and demand would mean the price of
houses would just go up. More more people could afford
to buy at a certain rate will be out into
the market, and then that would have a ripple effect
of causing those otherwise maybe affordable houses to go up
in price. It's crazy what's going on. What we need

(01:14:38):
is more housing stock and that's the key, So getting
builders out there to build houses that are considered quote
unquote affordable, not as much profit margin in those lots
of people with the ability to buy are looking for
higher end homes, even if smaller, much higher end in

(01:14:59):
terms of a manag nobody's out there building your basic
you know, two hundred thousand dollars square or two hundred
thousand dollars home at you know, for twelve hundred square
feet they're building you know, three thousand, four thousand, five
thousand square foot. You know, sometimes you get into that
mick mansion area, which I've never understood, but you know,
you do what you want with your money anyway, Very

(01:15:19):
complicated reality going on, very see here seven four nine
fifty eight hundred eight two three talk pound five fifty
on eighteen t Fondes looks like today's day. I haven't
even mentioned it this morning because the bubbles seem to
be burst on this whole Jeffrey Epstein file release thing
over the weekend. When Donald Trump said finally on Sunday, well,
it looks like one hundred plus Republicans in Congress are

(01:15:40):
ready to defy me, so uh, go ahead, release him,
it was truth social late Sunday walked back his opposition.
He said House Republicans should vote to release the files,
quote because we have nothing to hide. I'm all for it,
he said, after well campaigning to release them and then
walking back his promised to release them, saying we don't

(01:16:01):
need to release them. There's nothing there there, which caused
more problems I think among the Republicans than Democrats. Democrats
have kind of been crazy on this whole issue. They
had these files, and they had the Biden administration, they
had control. They could have released them a long time ago.
They didn't do it then, and that was back when
Donald Trump was clamoring to release them. So I really
am curious to know what the hell changed after the

(01:16:22):
election to make him change his mind in the first place,
and make all the Democrats change their mind and now
adopt this position. It's really important to release the Epstein files.
So I got my popcorn out, and it's going to
happen as early as today. Last year, I guess earlier
this year, even FBI director said, after an exhausted review
of the case file, no basis to revisit the disclosure exists.

(01:16:46):
In other words, there's no reason to let them go. Hmm.
If you can reconcile that change of position from Trump's
side of the equation, understand it, and I disagree with
you know, him shifting gears and trying to stop them
from being released. Maybe there is nothing there. Maybe there

(01:17:09):
is The one looming question that's burning around all this
is where are the prosecutions for the women who have
come forward, identified themselves and claimed they were molested by
this guy and others that hung around with them. Does
that bear a political stripe? Interesting justice for those people
I mean, are those that worked with Epstein, whether or

(01:17:31):
not they were engaged with sexual conduct. Those that worked
with him, texted him even somewhile on the floor of
Congress seeking advice during Q and as. Why would you
do that? That's a great question. I want to know
the answer to that. How was it Epstein wielded so
much power and that he was the go to guy
for well consultations along those lines and relationship counselor too.

(01:17:53):
There's a bunch of articles about that, people seeking out
Jeffrey Epstein to talk to him about the women that
they were suing. Weird is that the reason that Donald
Trump changed his mind? All these powerful, influential people giving
him a phone call, whispering in his ear, maybe even
sending him a text saying, please, Dear God, my name's
in there. I don't want to be involved. I don't

(01:18:14):
want to have to explain this to my wife or
husband as the case, maybe let's just put the lid
on this now. Being in Trump's position, I wouldn't bow
to that kind of pressure. I'm already on record demanding
that they be released. So everybody's got questions swirling around this, Why,
what change, what happened? And ultimately what's in there? And

(01:18:36):
hopefully nothing It w be just the passing distraction. Story,
and maybe that's what it was designed to be. All along,
I'm still left with more questions than I've got seven
sixteen Right now, Paul, you're gonna be next if you
don't mind him brief hold here, I want to mention
USA installation. This is it. You're running out of time.

(01:18:57):
Get the USA phone installed talkstation seven twenty one and
fifty five krsity talk station. Feel free to call me
any number of directions. We can go with the top
of your conversation to what Paul's got here five one, three,
seven two three talk Paul, Thanks for calling this morning.
Happy Tuesday to you.

Speaker 6 (01:19:16):
Oh thank you, Brian. I just wanted to let you
know the whole thing with this Epstein deal. His mom
said in a note, said go ahead and release the files.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
Mom.

Speaker 6 (01:19:27):
Yeah, so reference to seventies Welcome Back Cotter. Oh but
I'm a little older than you, so that's no.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
I remember watching Welcome Back Conner. Just I didn't get
the mom reference. I just just wondering get act with this.
Someone had changed Trump's mind, right, I mean the first
first off, the first time someone had to change it
hit from his position. Let's release the files. I am
campaigning on, get these files out there, let's expose these evildoers.

(01:19:54):
And then all of a sudden, next next minute, it's no,
we don't need them, nothing to release, nothing to see here.
We've looked, we've been through them. We don't need and
I'm like, wait a second, And now he's changed his
mind again. At least we can point to this time
he had to change his mind because all the Republicans
were lined up to go ahead and vote these things
out in the public. For all the reasons I was
talking about in the last segment. You can't hide behind it.
There's no explaining Trump's change this out.

Speaker 6 (01:20:18):
It absolutely needs out. Get it, get it out, Let
the chips fall, you know, and they're gonna go where
they're gonna go. And that's just the way it's gotta be.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:20:28):
But the housing thing, uh, as I remember again being
a little older than you used to be, when somebody
bought a house or part of the reason was affordable
was it had single car garages if any. Yep, bedrooms
were eight foot by ten foot, except the master, which

(01:20:51):
might be ten by fourteen. Yeah, it didn't have a dishwasher,
it didn't have central air, it was just there. This
were not the kind of homes that anybody would even
want today.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
Well, our attitudes have changed because we've become so damn
wealthy and used to all the amenities. You are dead on, right.
I think of my grandfather, my mom's father and mother.
They lived in a very small, very modest house on
Cooper Drive in Lexington, Kentucky, probably twelve hundred square feet
if you had a couple of bedrooms on the first floor.
My mom's very tiny. You're right, You accurately described it.

(01:21:29):
Twelve by ten basically, and she didn't really live there
much because she was older when they bought the house,
but that was designated her bedroom. Then they had the
master bedroom again, you're right, maybe fourteen by fifteen, and
that was it except for the upstairs, which they had
converted into a single, three bedroom bedroom. Right, all three
beds that my uncles slept on, twin beds, single beds upstairs.

(01:21:50):
That's how you lived. I never remember being unhappy. I
never remember looking down my nose at the place when
I went and visited. It was an awesome place. It
was grandma and Grandpa's. And could you live in a
place that absolutely square foot wise, no problem? You could
have ac and amenities. You think about Frank Lloyd right,
Usonian builds back in the fifties, those are about eleven twelve,
thirteen hundred and fourteen hundred square feet, very minimalist, although

(01:22:13):
beautiful on their own right. Architecturally speaking, you could go
with something like that a lot, and that would be
less money to heat and air condition too, right, Paul.

Speaker 6 (01:22:21):
Oh, absolutely loft his ceilings.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
No, it's the same thing as cars. I think of
this car that we have now to tell you ride
just got it a couple of years old. It's got
more things on it that you can shake a stick at.
I mean, Lord almighty, the technology built into this thing.
They even told me I didn't want to buy the
extended warranty for the computer system, and the guy tries
to give me the hard sell. If you got to
replace a computer system, it's more money than than then

(01:22:45):
replacing the entire engine. So did I need all that stuff?
Did I go out shopping for all that stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:22:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
But there it was got all the things that we
do need, the size we need for our house and
dealing with the dogs and everything else, and so you
got all that extra stuff bundled with it. But was it.
Is it really necessary? Do I need a backup camera?
I'm capable. I've been driving my entire life. I can
live with that a backup camera. Apparently they're mandatory in
all cars. Now, well, there you go, cost of driving

(01:23:12):
the car's gone up, and then moving away from homes
and just looking at global warming and all these crazy ideas. No,
you can't have gas hookups anymore. Every appliance you have
must be energy certified, you know, and running electricity. You're
not allowed to have any difference in appliance. It's just
edicts and mandates and these higher expectations.

Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
We have.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
Lots of reasons, and I think you're right on that point.
Seven twenty five fifty five Carcit talk station Prestige interiors
for seeing the talk station seven thirty years fifty five
krs the talk station Happy Tuesday. Yeah, Michael, you're right.
He's just talking about cars and all the features they
have to have on them.

Speaker 11 (01:23:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
I love abs breaks, for example, I feel safer on
the road because you have abs in your car mandated now.
But he said, don't forget they have high intensity lights.
He's the ones that blind the crap out of you.
He said, we survived on sealed beams growing up, and
he also put it out that they cost a lot

(01:24:12):
of money to fix. Yeah, that's true, we did survive,
but I put it out just barely. I do not
like the blinding effect of those lights either. But man,
I'm telling you, you can sure see a hell of a
lot better mixed driving at night that much safe or
more safe. So I know the arguments in favor of
all these mandates on automobiles and what they must include,
but that has really really impacted affordability dramatically. So all right,

(01:24:41):
let us see here back to some local stories. This
is a weird thing. Metro busses aren't going down to
Government Square as often as they used to, and nobody
knew about this number. Government Square the highlight and the
hotbed of all the youths beating each other up in
congregation and unruly behavior and just general a lot of
criminal activit. That's where the buses are all drop off everybody.

(01:25:02):
That's where they congregate. Apparently kids from different schools don't
get along with each other. They like to fight. So
that's the genesis of the problems. So what do you
do to fix it? Some suggested more law enforcement. Well,
Metro's decided to detour eight of ten buses from the
Government Square stop downtown. It's been going on for a
while and mayor have to have Purvoll apparently is behind this.

(01:25:24):
Thank you Patricia Gallagher Newberry of the enquire for letting
me know about this. More than two hundred Metro buses
are now skipping trips two or away from Fifth and
Walnut and now picking up and dropping off riders at
the two impacted routes a few blocks away. Apparently a

(01:25:46):
lot of people didn't know about this. Pervoll caught out
Metro at a mid October press conference Metro's Government Square location.
He said, in his words, the hub that is bringing
a lot of the criminal element into in a concentrate
away into these specific areas. So after some shootings on
Fountain Square in mid October left a couple people with

(01:26:07):
minor wounds, Purvoll said fourteenth on the fourteenth of the
press event last month, rerouting buses absolutely has to be
a part of the conversation. Metro in response that it
would be considering ways to improve safety at Government Square,
but didn't respond to the Enquires then questions about whether
it would reroute buses, but emails obtained by the Enquirre
via public records request, which they had to comply with,

(01:26:29):
showed that it's already pulled two hundred and thirty nine
buses every day away from Government Square. Pervoll wrote to
Metro CEO earlier in October the City of Cincinnati's directing
Soda to temporarily reduce the number of routes at the
corner of Fifth and Walnut within forty eight hours, citing

(01:26:49):
ongoing events in the urban core and saying the city
needed time to develop improvements in the area. And they
said they'd comply within twenty four hours, and apparently they did.
H accordance with your directive, Metro has created a plan
to reduce the number of buses serving Area D that's

(01:27:11):
one side of that Government Square, by approximately seventy nine percent.
And here's a weird thing I didn't quite understand, And
maybe somebody out there is smarter than me. Now the
reporting suggests Perval ask Metro to look at its public
safety presence at Fountain Square and Government Square with particular

(01:27:32):
attention to illegal drug activity. That's a quote apparently from
AFT have provol And then they report that Metro spends
more than one million dollars a year to hire Cincinnati
Police Department officers to monitor Government Square and other transit centers.
Metro spokesperson Bradley Mason, speaking of the inquire against it,

(01:27:52):
said it spends another two hundred thousand dollars plus to
support the city's three to one one system for folks
to report non emergency complaints. Pause for a minute. The
since a police department has its own budget, Right, Government
Square is part of the greater Cincinnati area. Right, isn't
that part of the area that the Sin Sint Police

(01:28:15):
Department should be patrolling? And if so, why would Metro
be spending more than a million dollars a year to
hire Sinceint Police Department officers to monitor that area. So
we have a government funded service, the police being funded
additionally by Metro, which is government funded. Well, as long

(01:28:42):
as you include the fairs that they collect, it's partially
government funded. So I don't understand that. I really don't
And if you can explain it to me, police feel
and feel free to give me a call. But bottom
line is a lot of people are finding out that
they're not going to the destination they thought they were going,
they're getting dropped off several blocks away, some of them
complaining that the lack of people and humanity in the
area at dark hours makes them feel very, very afraid.

(01:29:05):
Seven thirty five fifty five KR See the talk station
happened yesterday. I saw a part of the proceeding station
at seven forty on a Tuesday five hundred y two
three talk. Just remind remember the Steinholding Championships on the
twenty second coming up quickly. It's the super Bowl, the
first ever super Bowl of Steinholding, right here in the

(01:29:28):
city of Cincinnati. We're keeping it. They got a contract
to keep it here for the next five or six years.
Then we're going to be in competition. So, uh, you
weren't there for the very first super Bowl? My dad was.
He got a pennant from that. He got a pennant
from every super Bowl he went to, and he only
missed a handful of them over the years. But you
can be there at the first one, at least in
so far as the National Steinholding Championship is concerned. It's

(01:29:49):
right there at fifty five cars dot com all the details.
This morning. We're talking a lot about affordability. I mentioned
the energy crisis, you know, us inflicting that wound on ourself,
and everybody's waking up to the reality that no, we
can't go. It's impossible. Data centers, China competition. They've duped
us into and bamboodle us into this believing this religion
that they're making money off of. This is like one

(01:30:09):
of the worst Christian you know, fundamentalist minister setups of
all time. You got the big, dynamic guy that has
these millions and millions of people that are sending him
money every day, and the next thing you know, you
find out, well, he's corrupt, he's screwing around, he's a
terrible human being, but he builked you out of all
the money. His message is what you were drawn to.

(01:30:31):
You didn't know what was going on, was what was
happening with the money, but you thought it was going
to go to for you know, higher purposes. China has
duped you, much like that evil person, convincing you that
we need to buy all of their products because you
evil Western countries are killing the planet with your pollution
by our windmills. We'll sell them at a loss, but
we'll get you addicted to them, and we will busily

(01:30:53):
build our own power infrastructure made off on legitimate, reliable
sources like nuclear and coal and natural gas. Ahah, that's
baked in to the equation. So we're all waking up
to that now. So that article I read earlier on
that and even got the housing crisis and everything else

(01:31:14):
dealing with affordability. And that's the big political topic these
days is affordability. And William mcgarrn wrote about this just
the other day. At first he he provides a definition
of Hutzbaugh, which that quality enshrined in a man who,
having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the
mercy of the court because he's an orphan. No, that's start.

(01:31:37):
Today in Washington, we have a new example of hootsba
coming from the form of Democrats who spent years making
life more expensive for Americans and who propose fixes that
reflect the same government first thinking that made things unaffordable
in the first place. Does anybody really believe the answer
that ails to what ails us is more government spending
or yet another government program. And this is something I

(01:31:58):
mentioned before. You got to obombacare with the subsidies, right,
it's not affordable. It's following apart we subsidize to hide
the true cost of it, and we create an extension
of the subsidies because oh my god, COVID we have
to you know, wave the premium on it. And then
they want to extend them even more because well, it's
a train wreck. I mentioned in the context of Germany.
Germany goes full on green renewable energy, closes its nuclear pants,

(01:32:20):
and now it plants and is now a subsidizing industry.
So government, meaning the taxpayers, are now funding the electricity
bills of industry. Oh, it's only for a few years
until we get back on track and create more reliable
energy sources. But yeah, they thought that they were going
to reelect it and extend these subsidies into forever under Obamacare.
Didn't work out that well. Will the Germans build a

(01:32:42):
new infrastructure over the next three years of these subsidies.
Probably not. But that's a government solution to a problem
that government created. This should be an opportunity for President
Trump and Republicans mcgirn, right, so they could point out
that most of the time Democratic proposals to make things
affordable simply shift who gets stuck with a bill? Where

(01:33:02):
were the Democrats now hollering about affordability during the first
four years, when President Biden was spending regulating an otherwise
expanding government in ways that priced the American dream out
of reach for millions. Good question. William. Take one example,
when Biden entered the Oval office in twenty twenty one,
the median age of first time home buyers with thirty three.
Now it's a record forty for most families. That means

(01:33:24):
they can't even think about buying a home until their
children are grown. Democrats have an answer, but it's wrong socialism.
Joe Strecker observed that he thinks Mayor aftab Perval is
sitting behind his desk watching mom Donnie in New York
seek to have price controls on rent. You know, the

(01:33:46):
old rent control. Hm. Let's see if it works there.
They will take this brand new development at Liberty and
Walnut and make those fifteen thous or fifteen hundred dollars
a month affordable homes. Well, let's turn them down to
seven hundred and fifty. We'll see if the developer likes that. Sorry,
Democrats have an answer, socialism, He says, it wasn't that

(01:34:07):
long ago. The Bertie Sanders with a gadfly from Vermont.
But with the Democrats, Socialist of America Zoron Mamdami's decisive
election as mayor of New York and fellow socialist Katie
Wilson triumphant in Seattle, these socialists are threatened to transform
the Democratic Party in their image. On Sunday Fox News,
a Democratic former Chief Council a House Judiciary Committee Julian

(01:34:28):
Epstein summed up where the party is. He said, the
problem with the Democratic Party is that all the energy
and charisma is with the socialist left. The moderates are
a dying breed right now. Moderates have no leverage, they
have no organized principles, they have no ideas, and that's
why the party is going increasingly left. That's a Democrat

(01:34:51):
problem right now. Republicans have their own challenges. For one thing,
no one is going to confuse mister Trump with Adam Smith.
With The country today needs is less go government, lower taxes,
and lighter regulations to unleash the creative energies of the
American people. Instead of a so bold an agenda, Republicans
offer better management, which isn't enough management in the form

(01:35:14):
of faring out fraud, waste, and abuse. For example, I
will interject Trump has an incredible achievements and has pushed
to get America back to work, but he hasn't hesitated
to intervene in the economy, notably imposing tariffs. Last week,
he was compelled to roll back duties on more than
two hundred agricultural products, including coffee and beef, because they
were proving counterproductive. It makes for a confusing message. The

(01:35:35):
classic free market approach is to recognize that government's job
is to create the conditions for Americans to better themselves.
The government ensures a sound currency, the rule of law,
in space for people to use their talents in the marketplace.
We elect Republicans are we at least we used to
not because they better manage the economy because they know
it is hubrious to assume that the smart people with

(01:35:58):
political power can pick winners and losers and what is
the right and what the right price should be. Look
at the three markets that affect American families the most, education, housing,
and healthcare. It'd be hard to find markets that have
had as much government involvement as these, and what a
disaster that has been, especially in the democratic stronghold of
America's big cities, take Obamacare please. When Congress was considering

(01:36:23):
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Active, Americans heard reassurances
that even its most ardent defenders couldn't believe. Remember how
Obamacare would be bend the cost curve, ie, slow the
rate of growth. How about if you liked your health
care plan, you can keep it. How the bill wouldn't
add a dime to the deficit.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:36:42):
None of that turned out to be true. So here
we are fifteen years later, in Congress is debating on
whether expanded subsidies sold to the public as a temporary
measure during COVID should expire. That's a conversation that Germans
will be having about energy in three years. Americans are
better off now than they were under Joe Biden, but
their lingers an unease over whether the American dream is

(01:37:02):
really back. Americans aren't going to like being told they
are better off if they don't feel it in their
own families. Good points William Good points seven forty eight,
confusion of free market seven fifty two. If you give
out KRC detalk station, Happy Tuesday. So government problem or

(01:37:25):
government solutions come with a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse.
Sort of continuing the theme here this morning, and I
had a couple of articles about how many billions of
dollars are stolen from SNAP, about twelve billion annually. People
that are on it that should not be on it,
People are enrolled in multiple programs that should not be well.
Guess what Donald Trump administration's got a great idea, according
to Agricultural Secretary Brook Rollins yesterday saying, the administration is

(01:37:47):
going to require all participants in SNAP to reapply for benefits.
This for the purpose of preventing fraud. And why wouldn't
you want this? And think about being an elected official.
They take your tax dollars from you, Republicans, Democrats, independents alike, socialists,
everybody takes your money from you. Don't you think that
you're deserving of a fiduciary obligation from them with how

(01:38:09):
your money is managed? And that they everyone, all political stripes,
has an obligation to ferret out fraud, waste and abuse.
Isn't this something we can grab our hands around uniformly
and say, you're right? The law says this person or
this group of people or this category of people apply
or can apply and qualify for it. And if you're
not within that group, you don't qualify, and you're not
allowed to get it. Simple right. Forty million Americans on

(01:38:34):
the SNAP program and apparently a lot of fraud wasted abuse.
So children states to share data on recipients right after
taking office in February, but only twenty nine states agreed
to do that. Limited data already revealed significant misuse. One
hundred and eighty six thousand dead individuals five hundred thousand

(01:38:58):
people receiving SNAP fits in the states that took advantage
of looking at their data against the federal data that
previously was not available. The Biden administration made it impossible
to get this data. Ask yourself why. Data from the
Department of Agriculture indicate more than two hundred and twenty
six thousand fraudulent benefit claims in more than six hundred

(01:39:21):
and ninety one thousand fraudulent transactions were approved. This relates
to SNAP households that did not authorize or not authorized.
There's also card skimming and card cloning and other forms
of electronic theft that are out there in the world,
and they say organized. You know, foreign nationals are taking
advantage of the holes in our system that are taking

(01:39:44):
money out of the mouths of those who are really
in need of it. So apparently, according to the ag
Secretary of the Trump administration, is removed about seven hundred
thousand people from SNAP. They've also rest of one hundred
and eighteen people in connection with this fraud, but that

(01:40:05):
this fraud exists. And I go back to the Biden
administration by way, by contrast to the Trump administration, they
had the resources, the means, and the ability to crack
down on fraud, wasting abuse. These are people who are
not allowed to be on it or otherwise criminal elements,
and people who've registered from multiple different programs in multiple states.

(01:40:28):
Why would any politician not want to go after this
at minimum in an effort to bolster their own credibility.
I fought for a SNAP. I fought against the shutdown
because people were not getting the food that they needed.
But you know what, I refuse to allow the SNAP
to be raided by a bunch of criminals and by
people who are you know, builking the system. That sounds

(01:40:49):
like a message the demostrats should should embrace rather than
cover up. Seven fifty six right now, fifty five K

Always love this time of the weekend, the fifty five
KRC Morning Show. It's time to get what we call

always start out the segment, bookmark this site. You'd be
glad you did. I rely on it every single day
for the morning show. Outstanding Reporting b or E t
baart dot com where you're gonna read some of the
stuff that Brandon Darby rights. Brandon Darby has been with

(01:41:43):
bright Bart since twenty ten and he focuses on human
trafficking and cartel violence down at our southern border and
involved with a project along with some other folks called
the Cartel Chronicles, which allows well residents of Mexico citizen
journalists that are anonymous to speak out about the reality
of what's going on. Why do they have to be
anonymous because the cartels will kill you, like they have

(01:42:06):
so many people and politicians anybody else that dares speak
out against them. Brandon Darby, Welcome to the Morning Show.
It's a real pleasure to have you on today. You're
doing an empower You seminar. That's a log in from
home convenience seminar for my listeners. Empower You America dot
Org begins at seven pm. It's good to have you
on the program, and congratulations on the great work you've done.
I guess you pissed off a lot of cartel members.

Speaker 5 (01:42:26):
Brandon, Yes, thank you for having me on. I'm glad
to be here, very happy to be here having my coffee.
I'm in Texas right now, so we're about an hour
behind you having coffee. I'm just very happy to be
here to share with your listeners what's going on. And yeah,

(01:42:47):
we're having an empower You seminar tonight at seven pm
and we are going to talk about how our project started,
that our project does, and our project as a model
for ways of dealing with problems in the world or

(01:43:07):
in our country that seem insurmountable, because that's what we've done,
is we've taken on a group of people who routinely
killed journalists, kill everyone who challenges them, and we found
a way to successfully challenge them and get Americans caring
about this issue, caring about them. And now they're having

(01:43:28):
a very difficult time operating because of the fact that
they're getting exposed.

Speaker 1 (01:43:35):
Well, I guess I'm kind of curious to know. Listen,
I've been hearing about cartels in Mexico for a long
time now, most notably back in let's say, when I
was in high school in the eighties and nineties, you
heard about the cartels in South America. Columbia for example,
immediately comes to mind. We got some big names in
the cartel world have come up. But is this a

(01:43:56):
more recent phenomenon of these cartels in Mexico.

Speaker 5 (01:44:01):
Well, the basic gist of it is that when there
was always a cartel in Mexico, right, there was one
specific large cartel, And what basically happened was the US
went after cartels in Colombia, and so the Columbian said, Hey,
we don't really want to fight with the US government

(01:44:23):
any longer, and then this cartel in Mexico said, hey,
why don't you just sell us the cocaine and we'll
be the ones getting it into the United States. We'll
take the risk, we'll take the heat, but will take
a lot of the profits. So the Columbian said, okay,
that sounds great. So in the process of that, the
one major cartel in Mexico got really out of hand

(01:44:46):
killed a usde agent, and Kiki came rain and tortured
him ruthlessly, and the US went after that cartel. That
cartel decentralized, and once it decentralized, all of those factions
started to fight each other basically, and here we are today.
So it's been a huge mess. That's the important thing

(01:45:07):
for people to know. And I'm sure a lot of
listeners do know this or have heard it, but many
facets of Mexico's government are controlled by these cartels, and
that poses a pretty significant problem for US security because
you have our neighbor to the south where their government

(01:45:29):
is primarily controlled by these paramilitary, transnational criminal organizations that
we call cartels, and that poses unique challenges to our
security and our safety, and not to mention just what
it does to our loved ones who struggle with addictions
and what have you. But just overall, it poses some

(01:45:51):
major problems for US. It poses major security threats when
you look at China constantly trying to influence that government
ago and have relationships with these transnational criminal organizations. You know,
China's constantly getting these major infrastructure contracts in Mexico. China

(01:46:13):
is competing with US, yes, for influence in Mexico. That's
a problem for US, right.

Speaker 1 (01:46:18):
And I presume that that also involves China working with
the cartels who apparently are largely in charge. I think
of the politicians, members of law enforcement, judges, they can't.
If I was in their position, I'd be scared, live
in daylight to be scared, I'd be all the time.
To the extent I want to do something to make
my neighborhood better. I want to go after the law.
I want to engage in law enforcement, go after these

(01:46:40):
cartels and prosecute them, convict them, whatever I can do.
But the minute I raise a voice along those lines,
I'm next on the hit list, right.

Speaker 5 (01:46:48):
That's right, And their families get murdered. There's a segment
and they say plateo, O plomo and as do you
want silver or do you want lead? We can make
you rich, or we can kill you and all of
your loved ones. And so most people choose to just
accept the money and do what the various cartels in
the region want.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
Them to do.

Speaker 5 (01:47:07):
But we found a very unique formula, like a recipe
for really sticking it to these cartels that's worked. And
what we realized is that these cartels don't want attention.
And if people begin to shower attention, shower attention upon them,

(01:47:28):
what happens is the US gets upset, then Mexico gets embarrassed,
and then Mexico starts trying to address them, right, Mexico
starts sending in the military and what have you. So
what we've done is systematically go after various partel leaders,
publish their photos, show who they really are and what

(01:47:48):
they're doing, and then that ultimately leads to their capture
or at least to their death. And you know, obviously
there's a lot of work to do, but a lot
of work been done. There's a lot of cartel bosses
who are in US custody now who would not have
been without our reporting. And there's a lot who are
dead who would not have been without our reporting, and

(01:48:10):
we're very proud of that, this recipe, because people in
Mexico really can't speak out against them openly without getting murdered.
But what we found, we took a gamble and we thought, Okay,
we're us journalists, We're connected, right, we're brighte Bart, and
we think that these guys are not going to want
the heat of killing us. We think that we will

(01:48:33):
get away with saying what we want to say where
people in Mexico can't. And it turns out so far,
god forbid, you know that changes. But so far they
have not killed me. So it's been very successful. And
you know, a lot of news outlets probably would want
to do that, but their insurance won't let them, or

(01:48:55):
their bosses won't let them because of the risk involved.
But thankfully we worked for Bright and Breitbart is used
to walking toward the fire, and Breitbart's used to take
in these bold chances, and they allowed us to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:49:07):
Oh, Brandon, without question. And I have to give Breitbart
all the props in the world for being one of
the first, if not the first, to bring the open
border reality to everyone's attention. You were there, you were
on the border, m account of other places. You witnessed,
you videoed, you photographed, you interview, the influx of humanity.
It just was overwhelming and everyone meanwhile, I was trying
to deny that that was happening. Oh, there's nothing going

(01:49:29):
on down there, but he's logging Brightbard are like, Nope,
there it is right there. I can see with my
own eyes and read with my own eyes. I mean,
it's You're a powerful force out there. And I guess,
I guess, how is this going to help the Mexican government?
I our being, I'm wondering, is this going to turn
into like a Venezuela situation? Because we're moving more and
more military hardware into Venezuela, obviously an epicenter of fentanyl

(01:49:51):
and a lot of other drugs that are flowing out.
But is this the direction we're going with Mexico or
our relations with the Mexican government decent enough that we
can actually effectuate working with them to bring about some
change and get rid of these guys.

Speaker 5 (01:50:07):
Well, okay, so in Mexico everything is for sale. It
is true that bad guys, to put it simply right,
bad guys can buy their freedom, and bad guys can
buy their way out of trouble. But it is also
true that good guys can buy trouble for the bad guys, right,

(01:50:29):
it just depends on who's the highest bidder, and that's
where I think the US goes with this. You have
to remember Mexico is full of a lot of good people,
like most places in the world, and there are a
lot of good people in Mexico who want to see change.
You know, Mexico is listed as not a failed state,
but a fragile state, meaning that it's teetering. It's teetering.

(01:50:53):
You know. They have thirty two states in Mexico, and
out of the thirty two states, more than half of
them are actually under the physical control of these transnational
criminal organizations. So the central government doesn't even have control
over its territory. Right. These cartels do. Various cartels do,

(01:51:15):
and people need to understand that. Like in the US,
we can call nine one one if there's a bad
guy somewhere, then ultimately the US marshals or the FBI
or the DEA or can go and get this bad guy.
But in Mexico, when there's a bad guy they want
to get in over half of their states, they can't
just send a few agents to go and arrest them.

(01:51:35):
They have to send in their marines, they have to
send in armored divisions to go and get these bad
guys because they have heavy weaponry. They have drones, they
have Russian made rpges, they have surface to air missiles.
In some cases, these are little militaries within a greater country.

(01:51:56):
So realizing all of that, you just have an Okay,
there are people that the who the US can work
with in Mexico, in Mexico's government to get things done
and to get bad guys. But usually when it's done,
it's done without the knowledge of the you know, the
overall government, right it's done with with people. It's usually

(01:52:18):
through the intelligence to me, the.

Speaker 1 (01:52:19):
Back channel communication, the government backchannel communications right right now, government.

Speaker 5 (01:52:25):
But not the government as a whole, because the government
as a whole, even its current Secretary of Defense in Mexico,
is heavily connected to one particular cartel Boston No Minshaw.
And so what do you do in that situation? What
you do is you work with you know, you don't
really need US troops on the ground or boots on

(01:52:45):
the ground. You just work with people in Mexico who
who want to work with you, and you do it around,
you know, behind the back of other people in Mexico.
So that's what's going on. That's where this goes in Mexico.
I don't think Mexico turns into Venezuela if we're vigilant,
but it could if we're not. It could if we

(01:53:05):
leave it alone. It could if we continue to let
it fester as we did for you know, you have
to remember, prior to twenty fifteen, maybe twenty sixteen, the
Democratic Party line was that there's nothing going on here
on the border, right, everything's cool, Status quo is okay,
And clearly that's not the case as we all now see.

Speaker 1 (01:53:27):
Well, going back very briefly, that is China, I understand,
trying to trying to get a foothold literally everywhere around
the globe, doing great inroads in Africa. It's for their benefit,
trying to substitute America's influence for theirs. I'm just kind
of curious as we part company today, Brandon, is are
the China is chrying to enjoying the benefits of working

(01:53:49):
with these evil cartels or do they have a similar
interest like we would in getting rid of them, To
their benefit. In other words, all the Chinese helped us
get rid of the cartels, We love them, and you're
welcome to our country. Which direction is this going, Brandon.

Speaker 5 (01:54:04):
Well, I think that China is getting revenge on the
West for that happened historically without theium in their country.
You know, if you have a government like China that
controls every facet, monitors every facet within their society, every
facet of production, every facet of shipping, yet they're shipping

(01:54:24):
all of the precursor chemicals with Mexican cartels to make
sentidel and that's amphetamine, then then you would have to
say that the central government of China knows exactly that
they are shipping these precursors to Mexican cartels.

Speaker 1 (01:54:41):
It's a weapon of war. It's a weapon of war.

Speaker 5 (01:54:43):
Yeah, yes, it's degrading us. And that's what China's attempting
to do.

Speaker 1 (01:54:48):
Brandon Darby. Uh will if Donald Trump successfully negotiations and
negotiates an agreement with China where they agree to help
stop the flow of these precursor chemicals. Let's assume the
impossible happens that in and of itself, wild go a
long way to eradicate the cartels in Mexico. I would hope.

Speaker 5 (01:55:05):
Temporarily it would until I mean, you have to remember
at this point these beasts are so entranched. Yes, they
would just starting to produce their own pretersors.

Speaker 1 (01:55:16):
Fair enough, you could see that right on the horizon there.
Brandon Darby join him tonight. It begins at seven pm.
Empower Youamerica dot org. The site is currently not down.
We had some disruption here locally and we think it's
been impacted like by that. But register before seven pm.
Log in from home. That's the only place you can
do it. There's no empower you live seminar going on,
and you can hear the whole all these wonderful stories

(01:55:37):
from the cartel chronicles, and you can thank Brandon Darby
and the team at Breitbart for helping out the American
or the Mexican folks and getting rid of these drugs
and of course helping America at the same time. Brandon,
keep up the great work man. I'm really impressed of
what you've been able to do there and it's fascinating reading.
Thank you, my pleasure, Brandon Darby eight twenty one for
you see the talk station A twenty three the fifty

(01:56:03):
five krc B talk station. I'm just quick to draw
some parallels between although it is not the hanging people
from bridges kind of violence that the cartel's unleash upon
people who disagree with them, but there seems to be
an overwhelming component of that here in the United States
as well. Again not necessarily as violent, but if you're

(01:56:24):
an elected official, maybe you're on the bench, you're sitting
there as a judge, maybe you're just on social media.
I don't know, but there's a lot of anger and
a lot of unleashing of vitriol and vile against people
for what they do in their job as an elected official,
as a judge for example. Of course, we all know
the anger that was unleashed against law enforcement in this country.

(01:56:46):
There are some politicians who do not believe in traditional
methods of law enforcement. One of the reasons may be
that they're getting a lot of pressure from these radical
leftists in the form of threats of violence. We know
all about them, You've read about them. It's been going
on for a long time. But it's a frightening thing
to think that our elected officials doing what they believe
to be right for the betterment of all the you know,

(01:57:08):
the United States, it's citizenry. They're constituents that they might
capitulate to some evil actor out there because they're concerned
about their own safety, their own well being. You know,
there are crazies out there to try to assassinate politicians.
Has that happened recently, Joe, you remember when that happened recently?
You know, renowned officials, folks that are outstanding in terms

(01:57:32):
of their political philosophy. And I don't recall any either,
but you know, it is kind of a concern that
might exist out there in the world. Daniel Davis Deep
Dive coming up next. We talk a little bit about
this Wow security u n goes with Trump and the
Security Council. Also, will Ukraine be getting one hundred fighter
jets from America?

Speaker 10 (01:57:50):
AMM fifty five krc the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:57:54):
A twenty eight fifty five KRCD talk station. It's that
time of the week, apploytment listening Daniel Davis Deep Dive.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis as a podcast called The
Daniel Davis Deep Dive. You can find out wherever you
get your podcasts, and we are blessed to have him
on the fifty five Casee Morning Show every Tuesday at
this time to talk about stuff and things, usually in
the area of war and military activity. Welcome back, sir.

(01:58:15):
It is a pleasure to have you on the fifty
five Cassey Morning Show, my friend.

Speaker 8 (01:58:18):
Always a pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having
me back.

Speaker 1 (01:58:21):
What is and let's start. I know you don't know
what I want to start with, so here you go,
Daniel Davis. I know you're capable of fielding your question
from out in the world. The situation of the UN
Security Council a thirteen to vote for President Trump's twenty
point peace plan for Gaza, and call it what you will,
but as I read this, and as I understand it,

(01:58:43):
no recognition of a Palestinian state, the requirement that hamas
disarming the Gaza demilitarized as a first step. And if
you get to that part, then maybe we'll move on
to what they'll call phase two. But for the most part,
I found it interesting that the UN even approved this,
and that Russia and or China didn't veto it, which
they could have done. They abstained. So we have a

(01:59:04):
thirteen to ozero vote, which I can't remember the last
time a pro US military strategy or US policy was
fully embraced and not just shot down out right. Now,
you can correct me on my history, my recollection, Daniel Davis,
But what's your reaction to at least the UN approving this,
because normally I find them to be a completely worth
its organization.

Speaker 9 (01:59:26):
Well, just look int terms of what actually happened. There
was the Trump's twenty point piece plan form the foundation
of this agreement, and there is actually point number seventeen.
There is a provision that leads to the eventual Palestinian state.
So at least aspirationally is part of the deal, and

(01:59:46):
aspiration is far from a concrete action plan. So I
we'll see how that works out. But the first issue
is the fact that this was Trump's plan and it
was agreed to a while all these parties.

Speaker 8 (01:59:59):
However, it's always you know some howevers.

Speaker 9 (02:00:02):
Here you have the opposition in the Israeli cabinet led
by a guy named Lieberman. You have Smotrich and some
of these others definitely against it, like vehemently against it.
They think that it's a betrayal of of Israel, that
it lays the foundation, especially because of this international Stabilization Force,

(02:00:23):
it's supposed to come in and provide peace, et cetera.
They're like that, that's gonna lay the foundation for our
insecurity in the future. Then you have the Hamas side,
and they just categorically rejected it. They said, no, we
don't agree with this because it doesn't give enough benefits
and freedoms to the and guarantees for the palaestinating people,
et cetera. Everybody seems to like it, accept the Israelis
in the in the Hamas side, So I'm not sure

(02:00:45):
what to make of that. That's not entirely optimistic. But
at least relatively speaking, the ceasefire is holding the casually
count in the in the Gaza Strip, as opposed to
the West Bank, where by the way, violence is spiking
to to almost all time high levels.

Speaker 10 (02:01:02):
And let's not lose sight of that fact.

Speaker 9 (02:01:04):
But at least in the Gaza Strip, things are relatively holding,
and as long as there's one more day without violence
or limited violence in it to one more day, there's
a chance that we can bring permanent.

Speaker 10 (02:01:15):
Peace to the situation.

Speaker 9 (02:01:16):
But we are way far from this turning into peace.
This is just as you just pointed out. This is
relatively This is kind of like phase one and a half,
and now we have to do the hard part of
phase two and we'll see how it goes from there.

Speaker 1 (02:01:28):
In terms of disarming, you know, getting I understand the concept,
how does one bring that about? Obviously very complicated, especially
when Hamas does not want to disarm. It's the only
mechanism they have to contain or maintain any control or power.
But yeah, I guess it depends what the Palestinian people
want by way of leadership. Of course the physical space gaza.
But how if they could achieve disarmament, would that come about?

(02:01:52):
Giving Hamas's resistance.

Speaker 9 (02:01:55):
It's going to be incredibly difficult, and you're gonna have
to have the participation in operation of the Palestinian people.
And listen, this is one of the areas I've several
times under your show here talking about how I've been
upset at the Israeli side because they have used a
lot of violence against the people and they have not
been straightforward with what they said and what they did, etc.

(02:02:16):
But I'll tell you right now, the Hummas they have
to be put lots of pressure has to be put
on them, and primarily I think by the Arab coalition
and the Arab countries in there, because the longer they
drag their feet, and if they actually say, well, we're
not going to accept this, they have no leverage. All
they can do is just be persistent and forget about

(02:02:37):
trying to do anything that brings the war to an
end and then bring more firepower on the people of Palestine.
So they have nothing to gain except for as continuation
of the war. And I really hope that both the
Palestinian people and the Arabs in the area bring pressure
on them to do exactly what it is. There's nothing
for them to gain and everything for the Palestinian people
to gain by them doing what they're supposed to.

Speaker 10 (02:03:00):
We'll see if it turns out that way.

Speaker 8 (02:03:01):
But that's the biggest impediment in the near term.

Speaker 1 (02:03:03):
Yeah, I mean, it's I want to draw a parallel
to say something along the lines of will the Abraham
Accords have gotten people to sort of put down their
fighting words and agree to work together for a collective
peace in the agreement in the region that coalition of
I hope ever growing Arab countries that's the pressure that
can help bring to bear on Hamas in the area.

(02:03:24):
I mean, is that kind of a working coalition that
can do that.

Speaker 9 (02:03:28):
It is, But we also bear in mind that especially
the kingpin of this, the Saudi Arabia, they want they're
willing to do that, but they also have pressure on
the Israeli side because they said, listen, we'll expand the
Abraham Accords and we'll talk more peace on that, but
you have to at least provide a viable path to
a Palestinian statehood or freedom, and of course Israel doesn't

(02:03:49):
want to do that. They've been just categorically opposed. That's
one of the things that the Israeli side is most
opposed to in this UN deal because it has the
aspiration toward that. And then you know, how much pressure
is you that's going to bring on Israel to abide
by their portion? How much will Saddi Rabi, who's meeting
with Trump today by the way, how much pressure will
they put on the Hamas.

Speaker 10 (02:04:08):
Side to do what they're supposed to do.

Speaker 9 (02:04:10):
So lots of people want peace, and so the matter
of how much pressure they're going to put on the
two sides to bring this all together.

Speaker 1 (02:04:18):
So who would be the ones arming Hamas on a
going forward basis given that you know, Iran's economy seems
to be collapsing, They're going to have to move the
capital because of lack of water. Of course, the sanctions,
international pressure. I'm just where are they going to continue
to get their hardware?

Speaker 9 (02:04:34):
Oh yeah, that listen, as long as there's money involved
and the hatred of Israel, that weapons will be found,
There'll be there's ways they can get smuggled in. You
just can't stop everything, and people are motivated, they will find.

Speaker 10 (02:04:47):
A way to get things done.

Speaker 9 (02:04:48):
So, uh, there's enough people that hate Israel around the world,
and there's there's money and weapons are going to find
their way in there one way or the other.

Speaker 1 (02:04:57):
Point point while taking understood, just needed to be on
the record on that real quick. Here Manuel Macrone planning
on sending one hundred fighter jets to Zelenski over the
next ten years. Ukrainians still demanding more Tomahawks. That this
is the same conversation you haven't heaven for weeks, Daniel Davis.
Is ain't gonna help anything, is it?

Speaker 9 (02:05:15):
No, it is And I actually made that point on
my show this week already that this is an extension
of the things that we're doing that don't help because
we've had the you know, it's gonna be the attackings,
the long range, and it was gonna be the storm shadow,
then it was gonna be the F sixteen's that's what
was good, and none of them made any difference here
and now talking about just a different kind of jet,

(02:05:36):
that's not the problem. That's not where Israel, that's not
where the Ukraine side's problems are.

Speaker 8 (02:05:43):
In fact, it was a great piece on I think it.

Speaker 9 (02:05:46):
Was last Friday by Julian Rupke, a German journalist who's
been covering this war from the beginning, one of the best,
most accurate, definitely pro Ukraine, but he's also accurate in
most of his stuff, and he had a piece where
he just, let's call this what it is.

Speaker 10 (02:06:02):
Ukraine is on a path to a strategic defeat.

Speaker 9 (02:06:04):
They will not win if they keep going in they
self delusion, both Ukraine government and their military and the
Western people. And one of the things he pointed out
was you're not doing the things that actually matter on
the battlefield. He said, send in like millions of drones,
not these big high tech weapons systems. That that's not
where the fots won are lost on the battlefield. It's

(02:06:24):
with the drone situation, and he said, Russia has a
huge advantage and it's growing, and we're we're tinkering around
with jets over ten years. I know, come on, man,
that's humiliating and it's embarrassing, and it's just helping for
Ukraine to lose.

Speaker 1 (02:06:39):
I'm sorry I laugh over that point, but that's I
really literally laugh when I saw that over ten years,
because it goes back to the reality of it's every
missile system there is. There's a finite amount in a
limited number of places they can go in the world,
and a seemingly unlimited demand for all this hardware.

Speaker 9 (02:06:54):
You know, so and you know you know how long
it's going to take to train these pilots up. You
remember when we all authorized the F sixteens, when Biden did,
it was like somewhere around nine months or maybe even
longer before they could get their pilots trained up on
the F sixteen. Now you've got to start a whole
new one. Unless something's been going on behind the scenes
that we don't know about. You're talking about multiple months
just to get them to get in the cockpit effectively

(02:07:16):
and then operate the weapons systems there.

Speaker 10 (02:07:18):
So this is just ridiculous in.

Speaker 1 (02:07:20):
My view, cold harsh reality, as we always expect from
Daniel Davis, retiling Colonel Daniel Davis. Find him where you
find your podcast, look for the Daniel Davis Deep Dive
Love the conversation. Someday we're gonna have some great positive
news toward peace, Daniel, and I'm waiting for that day. Yeah,
wait for it next Tuesday maybe, ed. We'll keep our
fingers crossed. Much love, Brother Will Helly. Eight week My Friend,

How can my veteran friends out listening audience and their
families get in connection with this?

Speaker 12 (02:08:21):
Yeah, absolutely, Dav. We're nationally headquarter local organization. These job
fares we pair up with recruit military. We do about
ninety eighty year. These are job fares for spouses, for
military members, transitioning military members, veterans. We've found veterans who
want or we've found companies who want to hire veterans,

(02:08:43):
and we're focused on lining them up with veterans. Our
next career fair is November twenty fifth, so a week
from today, you have time to sharpen up your resume
and check it out online at jobs dot dav dot org.

Speaker 1 (02:08:55):
Jobs dot dav dot org. Joe's going to hook that
website out of my blog tape blog page fifty five
krec dot com. So great opportunity, and thank you to
all those companies out there who recognize how great veterans are.
They do a great work, they think out of the box,
they're problem solvers, and they're hard workers. So you can't
say enough about hiring the American veteran. What's the Patriot

(02:09:16):
boot Camp all about?

Speaker 12 (02:09:20):
This is a great program too. That has enjoyed a
lot of success because of our support from local Cincinnati
and Tri State area CEOs, marketers, people like that. This
is a two and a half day experience that helps
veterans become job creators and benefits providers. It's a fantastic event.
We've got founders coming in. They have all these great

different kinds of companies. We line them up with mentors,
line them up with classes, experiences, and just kind of
give them the building blocks they need to succeed as

Well, I know you welcome all the assistants you can get.
How can interested entrepreneurs and maybe local business leaders who
really want to help the America veterans and give back
to the veteran military community, how can they get involved?

Speaker 7 (02:10:05):
Well?

Speaker 12 (02:10:05):
Absolutely, I mean first things first, hire a veteran if
you know, if you if you have room in your

Speaker 1 (02:10:45):
Dan Claire, who chief Communications Officer and Outreach Officer for
the DAV without. Obviously you're very interested in big on
helping veterans get jobs. What else does the DAV offer
to give caregivers, veterans needing transportation, others who need assistance
with benefits? What else are you there for?

Speaker 12 (02:11:02):
I mean absolutely where Their benefits are a big part
of what we do here at our office, our national
headquarters and Erlanger. If you know a veteran who needs
assistance with their benefits, we have veterans who have gone
down that path before themselves. They act as attorneys in
fact and help represent veterans, make demystify that VA bureaucracy
to some extent, and help expedite justice for those folks.

(02:11:25):
Caregivers is a great new program the DAV has. Everyone
knows someone who is a caregiver and whether you're a
veteran who is a caregiver or you know someone who's
a caregiver for a veteran. That could be a parent,
that could be a spouse, that could be children. We
want to get those folks involved at davcaregivers dot org.
That's a free service to the DAV offers. It's concierge

(02:11:46):
level services connecting people with resources with what they need
to keep their veteran in the home longer or their
loved one in the home longer, and ensure that they
have a high quality of life while they're doing that.

Speaker 1 (02:11:58):
And nobody understands these specific needs of the American veterans
like the DAV. So Dan Claire, I cannot thank you
enough for helping my veteran friends and the listening audience
get jobs at the job fair. This Patriot boot camp
for the entrepreneurs who will hire veterans because they know
it's the right thing to do, because they're going to
get a great employee out of it, and you're gonna
land an American veteran in a job. It's a wonderful

(02:12:18):
thing you're doing. Dan, I appreciate it. Thank you for
coming on the program, and again all this information. Joe
Strekker will add to my blog page fifty five caresee
dot com so we can get folks jobs. Dan, thank
you for your time and what you're doing for the
American veterans.

Speaker 11 (02:12:31):
Thank you.

Speaker 12 (02:12:32):
Brian Todd Cassini says, Hi, God bless you guys.

Speaker 1 (02:12:34):
AH tell him, I said hi right back College actually
a lifetime, lifetime friend. I went on vacation with Dodd
when I was about six years old and his dad
was my pediatrician. When friends ever since that's that's hilarious.
You got a connection with him eight forty six. Right now,
folks stick around. Coming up next, we're gonna hear from
cover since he's Dan Roulman. Are John Roman rather about
better way to get medical insurance? It's that time of year.

(02:12:57):
We'll give you some helpful tips. Coming up next. Krc
hey forty nine, I think about ARCD talk station. Let's
ask an expert. What a better time to have John
Roman from cover since he in the studio to talk about, well,
premium shock. It's open rollment time and apparently John, the
folks reaching out to you are getting blown away at

(02:13:20):
the premium increases. Welcome back, my friend, good at talking
him pass along some great advice. We'll do a speed
round here on what we need to help my listeners with.

Speaker 13 (02:13:27):
Absolutely. I mean, you hit the nail on the head, Brian.
I mean right now, the scariest thing for anyone purchasing
their own health insurance is if you're on a marketplace plan,
you have to be checking your premiums for twenty twenty six.
You have to know that the fact that the tax
credits for a lot of Americans is going are going away.
You know, we've been helping a lot of of course

(02:13:48):
your listeners that we we've marked with you guys for
years now. But the biggest thing is we have people
calling in Brian and we're talking about insurance premiums going
from you know, six seven hundred bucks a month to
two thousand and twenty four hundred. I mean, people are
losing money right now, twenty twenty four hundred dollars monthly.

Speaker 1 (02:14:08):
And that is plus or plus the out of pocket
of ten thousand and five hundred.

Speaker 13 (02:14:14):
Ten thousand, six hundred per person. You know, you know,
twenty one thousand, two hundred for a family on a
marketplace this year plus two thousand a month in premium
plus two thousand that's not insurance. Now it's and again
is this this doesn't affect everyone. I mean they're staying
in Obamacare. They're affecting three to four million people this

(02:14:35):
year that are losing tax credits. So we're seeing so
many people that will start making a tough decision to
go without insurance. But that's because they don't know about
what you do. They don't know what we do a
cover sinci.

Speaker 1 (02:14:45):
You know, I had a conversation with Brian James on Money,
Money about you the other day. I said, listen, there's
a whole world of private insurance out there. You don't
need to go to Obamacare. You get John the team
to analyze where you are and look at one of
the different options out there, come up with something that's
affordable for you but also actually provides you medical insurance
coverage for your claims. Well, you didn't have a fituciary
obligation like but he has effectually essentially a fiduciary obligation because,

(02:15:09):
I mean, you know your business model. You're trying to
help people get the best possible product out there for
the least amount of money. I mean, I don't anyway,
the fact that the private market exists. Many people don't know.
So someone's out there, you know, having to change their
underwear because they just found out they got a two
thousand dollars insurance payment. There's a world of insurance opportunities

(02:15:30):
beyond Obamacare. Oh absolutely.

Speaker 13 (02:15:33):
I mean, they're driving this home to us, right, They're
shoving this product down our throat, and most Americans don't
need to be there. Yeah, if your income's low enough,
I mean, you can qualify for a tax credit, pick
it up. But you know the restrictions on this, I
mean the fact that if you're buying a plan here
in Cincinnati, Brian, you can't even go to Dayton and
get treatment the other component, right, you know, And is

(02:15:55):
that worth the price that you're gonna pay for a
luxury vehicle like Ibsolutely not, I mean, and then twenty
thousand dollars to use it, So it doesn't it doesn't
make sense.

Speaker 1 (02:16:05):
Tell of a luxury vehicle it is dollars.

Speaker 13 (02:16:09):
And then twenty thousand dollars to take it out, all right,
So it doesn't make sense to so many listeners, and
that's why they have to shop the private market. And
that's a big proponent of what we do is help
every single person, whatever their situation is. Hey, if it
makes sense to stay on the marketplace, we're going to
leave you there. But more than often than not, it's
showing you the alternatives. And guys, these are forty to

(02:16:29):
sixty percent cheaper than what's going on right now.

Speaker 1 (02:16:32):
Right and you know this is asked the expert. It's

call five one three eight hundred two two five five.
That'll get that done. But what I mean, what are
the biggest concerns right now for someone sitting out there
contemplating their employer plan or getting ready to go on medicare?
What what are the giant concerns you have for them

(02:16:54):
that if you've got to pick a couple out of
the air that you need to warn my listeners about.

Speaker 13 (02:16:58):
I mean another one with with medicare, we're still in
that open enrollment right now, so for twenty twenty six,
you have to make sure your plan is credible if
you're over sixty five, all right. Being that way, there's
a certain thresholds of income and how the how everything's
populated as far as you're out of pocket expenses for Medicare.
If you are not in that segment where your income

(02:17:20):
is considered I mean sorry, your plan is considered creditable.
You could be faced with penalties moving forward, which is,
you know, ten percent a year in your Medicare Part
B premiums and one percent a month on your Part
D premiums, and those penalties last year the rest of
your life. So make sure your plan is credible for
twenty twenty six. And if it's not, look at Medicare.
I mean a lot of people, to be honest with you,

(02:17:41):
when I help them look at that retirement side and
opting to stay on Medicare, I mean, you know, staying
around their group health with work, We're going to Medicare.
Medicare actually is cheaper, and on top of that, the
coverage can be a lot better than where you're at
right now. You group mentioned that before. I just always
find that hard to believe. That's a big thing. And
then of course, you know, look at those individual We
have some of your listeners that are retiring early. They're

(02:18:03):
in their sixties or late fifties, and they're going, Hey, John,
I'm calling you because I want to see if I
can retire, give us a call.

Speaker 1 (02:18:08):
We can show you what those options look like.

Speaker 13 (02:18:10):
You'd be surprised how many people have gone to retirement
now that we've been able to help because we show
them what that transition looks like. They come from group
insurance and help them bridge that gap between now and medicare.

Speaker 1 (02:18:21):
And how much does it cost for my listeners to
take advantage of the services you're offering, John, I guess.

Speaker 13 (02:18:26):
You know consideringly. We're not a fiduciary, but we operate
like that, Brian, And at our costs are zero. We
charge nothing for you to call in and show you
what those options look like. There's no surcharge, nothing that
we charge you for any of our services.

Speaker 1 (02:18:38):
And it's always like to point out, if you're working
with John on the team, if you have a claims
problem down the road, once they get you under some
insurance policy, they'll handle the problem for you. Don't have
to call the company that to me is worth its
weight in gold, right there. Eight hundred call five one
three eight hundred two two five five cover atsincy dot com.
Pay attention, folks, very short window of opportunity here to
get the answers to the questions. It might save you hundreds,

(02:19:00):
if not thousands of dollars, so make sure you taking that. Hey,
anybody looking out for you but yourself, so John and
the team it covers, since it will certainly help you
to that end. John, thanks for what you do for
