Speaker 1 (00:09):
Five O five a fifty five k RC detalk Nation Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Say it's call Kenny Loggins because you're in the danger zone.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, maybe it is Tuesday stating in the abbey is
in a very happy one to you. Baron Thomas right here,
Glad to be the phone number if you like to
call on. Maybe you got something to talk about five
one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred
eight to two three talk or a pound five fifty
on AT and T phones. And remember fifty five KRC
dot com. You get the smooth event when you can't
listen to it. Justice or privilege having to go at

(00:55):
PG sitting Fell's pardon by Donald Trump nothing about to
my denard, I think he was suggesting a race, maybe
playing a part of that. Although it does help to
have well connected lawyers that are friends with Donald Trump.
I suppose illustrating perhaps the sad reality that money can
buy freedom when it comes to pardons. Anyway, So Smitheman

(01:20):
yesterday podcast aty five care see dot com. Jeff Pastor too.
In addition to my innard, don't overlook Jeff Pastor. Although
you know I didn't say anything out loud, but m
PG was convicted trials peers, you got a reasonable doubt,
pay to play. Here's some money, and I will I
will give you votes and I will deliver votes plural,
not just mine, but others if you give me money.

(01:42):
Not as clear as the pastor and Tamia Dennard who
basically just out loud said give me money. Especially I
think it was Tomya Denard. I mean she was just
shaking people down, so start and that's dark differences. But
if you go back and look at the circumstances, it

(02:03):
was a little bit more difficult to prove the sit
and fell charges than it was the pastor. And to
mind in our charges just my perception, you can make
hold a different one. But Smithman was on fire about
that yesterday, as he typically is. That's why I enjoy
having him on the program. On the program today, let's

(02:23):
look at the rundown. COLONL William done with a book,
Gunfighter's Rule, story of a boy dust to become a
United States Marine after the death of his father. Overcame
multiple adversities to achieve his dream of becoming a pilot.
During decades the service to our nation. We faced additional
challenges following his life story. You will see the trials
and tribulations of a family destroyed by tragedies, disillusionment by

(02:45):
the institution, and a battle against an internal adversary. Gunfighter's rule,
a story of resilience and determination should be an different
interesting conversation based upon the brief summary I just read
you take place at seven point forty with Colonel William
Dunn inside Scoop. It is Tuesday, Every Tuesday day to

(03:05):
five Today bright Bart News Finance and Economics editor and
co author of bright Bart Business Digest, John Carney returns,
is the economy good or bad? Sort of a conversation
I had yesterday with Brian James Money Monday. A bunch
of different headlines, all of which seemed gloomy and doomy,
markets trending down, people's concerns over inflation, et cetera, et cetera,

(03:28):
et cetera. John Carney's point, it depends on where you
get your news. Certain headlines Bright Bar Business Dies, for example,
recovering the legal architect of Trump's tariff policies not having
that much of an impact. Core inflation falls to the
lowest rate in four years. That's one of the things
to talking about with Brian James yesterday. People are sort

(03:48):
of getting used to the price increases that we felt
several years ago. Currently inflation holding it around two point
three percent annually, price of eggs down sixty one percent
since Trump took office. There's an interesting one and US
consumer shakeoff gloom confidency's biggest boost in four years.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Those are some headlines which have just everything's bright and
rosy pivot over to someplace like, oh, I don't know,
Politico for example, you'd think the world is coming to
a screeching halt and we're all going to die. So
echo chamber. It's a problem for a lot of people,
both on the conservative and liberal side. Daniel Davis deep

(04:28):
dive and boy don't we have a lot to talk
about with Daniel Davis considering you know, and a lot
of parallels have been drawn between what I thought was
a brilliant, unbelievable accomplishment by the Israeli military forces when
they planted those explosive devices in all of the Hamas

(04:50):
communications and then blew them all up. They wiped out
a whole bunch of members of a moss in one
fell swoop. How they accomplished that man that is just amazing.
How did the Ukrainians accomplish getting all those drones within
miles of the Russian military installations and caused billions of
dollars worth of damage to the Russians aircraft. And when

(05:14):
you read the accounts of that they shipped them in.
They had these special cars that they were loaded on
and they were remote controlled from Ukraine where they elevated
the roofs of these vehicles and to reveal where the
drones were stored, sort of hidden beneath a panel, drones launched,
go in and blow up all the military aircraft. They

(05:35):
said they were planning that for eighteen months and kind
of got the same story from the Israeli defense forces
planning that incendiary or explosive devices and the cell phones,
walkie talkies or whatever Hamas was using and blowing those
people up. Advanced military planning, and of course many commenting
on the changing dynamic of warfare just given the fact

(05:57):
that we've got drones. Now you got a two billion
dollar aircraft sitting on the air on a runway, you
can't exactly cover that thing up. Sending a swarm of
drones that are a couple of hundred bucks apiece and
it's gone. But making this point about the iron dome
missile system, you know, with ams shooting rockets into Israel

(06:19):
on a regular basis, at least they had been. Every
time you shoot off one of those iron dome missiles,
you've got well millions of dollars flying through the sky
to try to knock out a couple one hundred dollars drone.
Now I'm simplifying matters, but the cost difference is dramatic,
and the prevalence of drones all over the place, more

(06:40):
and more people getting them. And oh look, Iran has
enriched enough uranium to make three nuclear weapons in the
past three months. Another headline I read, and some are
already saying Iran's already got a nuclear weapon. It's not progress.

(07:01):
I hate to use the word progress. It just seems
Can I use the word inevitable, Joe inimitable? Anyway? You
heard Top of the Air news they got enough signatures.
Previously announced on the morning show, the Hyde Park development
described as controversial is going to be on the November ballot.

(07:22):
We get a chance. Well, we the residents of the
city of Cincinnati. I can't include myself among them, although
I would love to vote on this one. More than
eighteen thousand signatures collected thirteen four hundred and thirty four
certified they only needed two and fifty one. City of
Cincinnati gets the vote on the variance to the zoning

(07:43):
rules that the city Council foisted upon my friends in
Hyde Park in spite of the overwhelming anger expressed by
Hyde Park residents about the transformation of their neighborhood against
their will. Shraam CPO reporting in April, city council greenlit

(08:03):
a zoning change required for the controversial development that would
re imagine Hyde Park's historic square. Reimagine. I suppose you
can use that word anyway. Jeff Levine Levin perhaps partner Strauss.
I'm Troy. He was an attorney for the neighborhood Council,

(08:26):
and he helped plan the circulation of the petitions to
get people to sign to get this on the Vallid
quoted as saying in an interview with WCPO, the collection
of four and fifteen signatures in just three weeks with
seventy three percent vialidity rate is unprecedented in Cincinnati and
a clear testament to the city's widespread opposition to this

(08:49):
dramatic zoning overhaul, while noting that the preservation of hyde
Park Square is paramount and that's what the Hyde Park
residents are interested in preserving the square. At least one
may presume that I love this statement from Jeff. The
broader theme is whether deep pocketed developers can snub community

(09:12):
collaboration and impose their will against the wishes of the
communities throughout the city. As a result of our vigil
and efforts, voters, we now have the opportunity to decide
both issues this November. Yeah, and that's what really irked
most people. Hyde Park made its position clear. We don't
want it. We're not against development, we're not against welcoming

(09:35):
new businesses, we're not against you know, new things being built.
We just don't want this monstrous hotel that is looming
over the hyde Park Square. And if you see photographs
of it, or actually depictions of it, some rendered in
an artificial way in the form of photographs, others just
the actual design. With this structure looming over the square,

(09:57):
it looks awful. I mean, that's a subject active statement.
I will acknowledge that, but I think I'm sharing the
thoughts and opinions of many people in High Park. We
don't want that damn thing here. So that is some
questions swirling around whether Cincinnati City councilor we'll just vote
to repeal the variance to the zoning laws. Doesn't look

(10:18):
like they will. They're going to let the voters decide this,
at least that's what I've gleaned from the reporting and
the interviewing and the comments so encouraged by Scott Warptman
or at the Inquirer interviewing some of the city council

(10:40):
members speaking with the Enquirer. We'll start with Jeff cameronon
I expect it to go on the ballot, one of
seven city councilors who did vote for the ordinary ordinance,
and he did say congratulations of the High Park for
going out and getting the sutures. Let's see what the
voters decide. So not necessarily inclined to vote to repeal
the varians. Council member Mika Owens asked for that she

(11:10):
supported repealing the ordinance, had the following to say, somebody
wrote huh with three question marks after this statement, that
will be me. We are leaving all options open during
tough decisions. I have centered myself in my values. The
Hyde Park development required me to do it critically centering

(11:34):
values and around accessible housing for all, support for small businesses,
and more spaces for the people of our city to
gather in community. Close quote did you get that, Joe?
Is this about housing for it's a day of a hotel.

(11:56):
Maybe they're going to plan on housing illegal immigrants. That's
a possibility, isn't it have to have provoll Oh, look
the word huh question mark. Regardless of the outcome, we
will need to work towards building a neighborhood and a
Cincinnati that embraces growth, supports residents, and encourages access for

(12:20):
folks of all backgrounds. I'm optimistic that all parties here
share those goals. Thank you, Joe. The bubbling bongers stupidity
is exactly exactly what I was thinking was going on here.

(12:43):
One of the city council members who did vote against
the proposal, Vice Mayor jan Michelle lemon Kearney, so the
work on petition gatherers impresses her, but she doesn't think
the city Council will repeal it.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
That would be a real slap in the face to
the people of Cincinnati. What the repeal. Well, is it
a slap in the face because they did the laboring
or of going around gathering enough signatures to get it
on the ballot, and then you repeal it. I'm not
quite sure contextually what she means. She went on, that's
what the system is for, so they organized, they gathered

(13:18):
all those signatures. I hear over eighteen thousand signatures. That's
phenomenal work. So maybe contextually that is what she's saying.
You guys went out, you did all the work. We're
getting it on the ballot. You'll have your say. And
since she voted against the proposal at the outset, maybe
she hopes that the petition will bear fruit and the
proposal will be shot down. And I sure hope that's

(13:40):
what happens. I love the showing of support. I love
the fact that the people got off their butts and
went out there and said, hell, no, you did not
listen to us. What is the purpose of representative government
if you're not representing your own constituents. You're doing something
the polar opposite of what they want. You're transforming the
neighborhood against the will of the people who live there.

(14:03):
Why are you doing this? You do have the power.
The broader theme is whether deep pocketed developers can snub

(14:24):
community collaboration and pose their will against the wishes of
the communities throughout the city. Amen Jeff Levine, partner at
Strauss and Troy, who represented the Hyde Park folks in
their efforts. Five nineteen fifty five KRSIT talk station and
feel free to call five one, three, seven, four nine
fifty two three talk tons five fifty on AT and
T Funds. That'd be right back.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station fifteen.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Jenlemen, First morning. While the forecast hazy with sunshine, at
least it's consistent with yesterday's forecast high eighty six, a
few clouds of a night pleasant sixty seven. Tomorrow's high
eighty seven with hazy skies remaining and humidity slowly rising,

(15:11):
slight rain chance over Wednesday night storms and showers develop
in the West. I don't know which west they mean
geographically sixty seven the overnight low California, and on Thursday,
better chance of showers and storms return eighty for the
high on Thursday. Shoe, what my temperature disappeared again? What

(15:34):
is it? It's not cooperating fifty six. No, it says fifty six,
not sixty. Joe, you're watching channel nineteen and I'm watching
the computer that the iHeart Media company provided me with
the link to that stupid weather thing that always disappears.

(15:54):
I'll let my listeners decide which is a more reliable forecast.
We're within it few degrees of each other. I think
they call that the margin of error. Houseover sec Committee
James Comer said, if the evidence proved Joe Biden did
not have any knowledge of the executive voters that were

(16:15):
signing his name via the auto pen, they could be
completely invalidated in court. That will remain to be seen,
but they have this oversight committee. They've already demanded testimony
from the White House physician doctor Kevin O'Connor, director of
Domestic Policy Council near at Tanden, former Assistant to the
President and senior advisor of the First Lady Joe Biden,
Anthony Bernhall, former assistant to the President, Deputy Chief of

(16:36):
Staff Annie Tomasini, former Special Assistant to the President, Deputy
Director of Oval Office Operations, Ashley Williams. According to Caermon
chairman Comber quote, the cover up of Biden's obvious mental
decline is a historic scandal. The American people deserve to
know when this decline began, how far it progressed, and
who was making critical decisions on his behalf. Key executive

(16:59):
actions signed by auto pens, such as sweeping pardons of
the Biden crime family, must be examined considering President Biden's
diminished capacity. We're calling on President Biden's physician former advisors
to participate in transcribed interviews so we can begin to
uncover the truth. In the last Congress, the Biden White
House blocked these individuals from providing testament of the Oversight

(17:20):
Committee as part of the effort to cover up Biden's
declining health. Any continued obstruction will be met with swift
and decisive action. The American people demand transparency and accountability. Now,
did Biden even know the orders were being signed? Comer

(17:40):
had this to say on over the weekend, when you
talk about using the autopen to sign these executive orders,
these executive orders were meant to Trump proof this White House.
And if we can find information that would lead us
to believe that Joe Biden had no knowledge of these
executive orders being signed in his name, but I think
the Trump administration could get them thrown out in court,
and then Trump would be able to execute his agenda

(18:01):
a whole lot easier without all the Trump proofing that
happened within the Auto Pen at the end of the
Biden administration. Well, I mean, there was an interview with
Joe Biden who was being told we were talking to
him about the blocking of the gas leave singing. Biden said,
I didn't do that, or words to that effect, or

(18:22):
maybe it was a question did I do that. He
clearly was not aware of a very, very profound executive
order in so far as American energy policy is concerned,
and he couldn't even remember it. That's a giant red flag.
So it'll be interesting. I'm very curious to know. And
we're going to have to keep our popcorn out for

(18:43):
a long time on this one, folks. I know a
lot of people have a lot of concerns and questions
swirling about whether these auto pen executive orders can be
undone by a court. I don't know that they've ever
ruled on something like that before. I mean, can you
think of a time in America's history other than the
Woodrow Wilson administration when you've had a president that's been
totally incapacitated and incapacitated and yet issued dozens and dozens

(19:08):
of executive orders while in that condition. Don't think that's
happened before. This is unbelievably an unbelievable, rather huge scandal.
Five twenty seven. Right now if you have car City
Talk station, got the local stories coming up, including a
breaking story from this morning, Yes, another shooting, be right
back fifty five KRC the talk station. What's the best

(19:32):
place to reach new customers? Jen and I says the
following got a hazy sky's sunshine in a high of
eighty six today, overnight low sixty seven and a few
pounds hazy again tomorrow, but warmer and more humid eighty
seven for the high, slight chance of rain overnight sixty
seven for the low, and a better chance of showers
than storms on Thursday with a high of eighty fifty

(19:54):
six degrees Right now fifty five ker C DE Talk
Stations five point thirty on a Tuesday, Happy Tuesday to
you tomorrow a listener, lunch man Tree, It's Summit Park
up to see you there, five two to three, Talk
and see what Tom's got this morning, Tom, Welcome to
the show, and a happy Tuesday to you, sir.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah, good morning. It's it's starting to feel like uh,
Central Florida. I just left yesterday. I was down there
for a long weekend, played a little golf. I went
to h Arnold Palmer's place, Bayhill place. I have no
business being. But way wait there packed a little white

(20:33):
ball around for a little while.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Good for you.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
Yeah, I want to talk about this whole I've been
wanting to chime in about this whole thing with the
the Joe Biden scandal, which we we we all beat
to death before the election, and just like, look, it's
obvious this guy is cognitively apparent, doesn't know what he
where he is sometimes all that good of stuff. But

(20:59):
the park that's kind of coming out now is the
whole thing with the media and the way you have
people in the media. I'm not even gonna mention the
guy's name at that at that three letter network where
he's put his put out a book about it, and
it's like, oh, I didn't see this stuff, and they
kept this information from me to these people. Everybody knew

(21:22):
what was going on. You knew what was going on,
and now you're trying to sell a book to talk
about it. Come on, you're trying to stay relevant. You're ridiculous.
You look stupid.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
I think I think. I think what he's trying to
do is cover for his own lack of reporting on it.
You know, he investigates after the whole thing's over with,
after Trump's win, after Biden's moved on, uh, and then
starts talking to people who were in Biden's inner circle
about the time he was president, and they all revealed that, Yeah,
the guy lost his mind. He was backcrap, insane, he

(21:57):
had no idea, he wasn't in charge. So now he's
documenting what the people around him knew and yet did
not reveal to the American public. Eric Oh, Jake Tapper,
the guy you won't name, wasn't able to report on
it because no one was talking about it. Now we
all know that's a bunch of crap.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Come on, it wasn't wasn't able to report on it,
didn't didn't want to report on.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
I know that. That's why I said it's a bunch
of crap. Tom, I'm just telling you it's sort of
he's trying to cover his own but by revealing what
the people in the inner circle knew at the time,
and yet did not pass along to the American public,
so guys like himself couldn't release it to the American public.
So I know it's a bunch of crap, but you
know he's trying to cover his own butt and make

(22:38):
some money on the scandal.

Speaker 6 (22:42):
I find the whole thing to be more proof of
how far wacko the left is, how how people are
so blinded by their by their political ideology. Whatever issue
it is that that you have that you're very passionate about.
What there's nothing wrong but having a particular issue that

(23:02):
you're passionate about, but you can't let it blind you
from seeing the obvious and stating the obvious and understanding
the obvious. You can't let it do that to you.
Now you're basically you turned into a political shill and
an idiot that'll vote however they want you to vote,
no matter how much you're trying to destroy the country.

(23:23):
It's and you got people on the right doing the.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Same crat So don't vote me wrong.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
But the worst side of it is a Democrat, So
don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Have a great game, right.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Good to hear from you, Tom, kind of miss your
calls when you were out. You feel free to call
yourself in the meantime. This is actually this one should
be in the stack of stupid local stories. Fox nineteen
reporting kids and young adults across the nation partaking in
a new TikTok trend described it as not only illegal,

(23:55):
but potentially dangerous. And I'll take the word potentially out
of there. Definitely dangerous. And it's come to Florence, Kentucky,
where police are actively investigating incidents. It's a spin on
the ding dong ditch. You know where you ring your
neighbor's doorbell when you're about two years or four years
old or whatever, and you run away, probably seven or
eight years old anyway, and accept of ring. Except instead

(24:16):
of ringing the doorbell, people are kicking in doors. Police
Rode online. We urge all parents and guardians to be
aware their children's whereabouts and activities during the evening of
nighttime hours well. An admonishment should apply across the board
for all things at all times. What may seem like
a harmless prank to the those involved can be extremely

(24:37):
alarming to residents. Being awoken at three am by someone
forcefully kicking in a front door could lead a homeowner
to believe a break in is occurring, potentially prompting them
to take defensive action. Yeah. Interviewed by Fox nineteen, Sherry
sowders that her home was hit by this TikTok trend

(24:59):
Memorial Day weekend. Woke up at eleven thirty pm thinking
she heard an explosion, fat checking your cameras and seeing
a kid kicking in her door, causing one hundreds of
dollars of damage. She said her son followed the kids
responsible for kicking her garage door to their home. She
went to the kid's house hoping to talk with the
parents and eventually called the police, and the parents didn't

(25:21):
come outside. Said that because you cannot see the kids'
faces in the doorbell, the police has not been able
to press any charges, any information regard to these engines incidents,
or have video footage. Florence Police wants you to give

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Just shy of five on a Tuesday and hope having
a good one. Try to make it so over the
stack of stupid. Well, we're in Florida for this one,
as this tradition. Please searching for a Florida man who
stuffed a six and fifty dollars ferret into his shorts

(27:24):
and smuggled the stolen weasel out of a Petland store
phrasing the ferret high supported police curd. Last Tuesday, Jacksonville, Florida,
security cameras captured the male suspect as he quote browsed
the ferret section of the store and fondles the ferret
for quite some time phrasing quote. Man then shoved the

(27:47):
ferret into his pants and left the Petland store, phrasing
As he left the business, he held quote the crotch
area of his shorts to support the ferret as he
walked past all points of sale without paying clothes quote
what when they noted that the suspect was fleeing with

(28:08):
the ferret. Petland manager gave Chase unable to get the
license of the man's vehicle, which was described in the
report as a white work van with multiple ladders along
the top. As this tradition, you've seen pictures of Frank Zappa. Well,
his mustache is very Zappa asked, except it's a lot

(28:32):
longer on both sides of his mouth. A unique long
mustache is according to the report, wearing blue under armor
shirt and shorts with a Navy logo. Automated facial recognition
system didn't identify the suspect, but the surveillance image is
so clear they claim it's likely going to result in
the apprehension of the ferret bandit. Are you just happy

(28:56):
to see me? Or is that a ferret in your
shorts doing idiot things? Because they're idiots? Man who admittedly wow,
are you kidding me? Man who admitted is sexually gratifying
himself with a pool float. That's I'm just getting deliberate
penalty so we could.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
Get into the penalty box all by himself.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
You're right, Joe, this is kind of a trend, just
that we get one of these every summer, so you
know what the setup is. Admittedly gratifying himself with a
pool float as pleaded guilty to months long burglary spree
that netted him dozens of inflatable what they describe as
partners phrasing corner to court records and a deal with

(29:41):
Florida prosecutors. Christopher monnin forty one, admitted to theft and
burglary charges on the eve of his scheduled criminal trial
in Brevard County. They say, well, such, fellow, and the
convictions carry stiff maximum prison terms phrasing, But thank you, Jim,
that was the setup. You got it not does plea

(30:02):
deal resulting in a downward departure in part because he
requires specialized treatment for a mental disorder that is unrelated
to substance abuse or addiction a court accord to the
court filing, which noted the defendant was amenable to treatment.
Is there a DSM diagnosis for this kind of Behaviorron

(30:24):
judge sentenced him to two years of community control, an
intensive form of probation that compares to house arrests. He
will then be placed on standard probation for eight additional years,
also fined eight hundred and forty dollars and had to
spend eight months in the county jail before being released
on bond. The case, which dragged on for years, began
following the one thirty a m suspicious persian arrest by

(30:47):
the Palm Beach County Department Officer. Police spotted mon And
riding a bicycle carrying a white garbage bag full of
what he identified as deflated pool floats. What since Palm
Bay had been, in the words of the report, plagued
with burglaries in which the suspect cuts the screen or otherwise
then as the victim's backpool area and steals only pool floats. Bonan,

(31:10):
identified as the prime suspect, lived in Palm Bay, where
police received more than a dozen separate reports about pool
float burglaries. During questioning, he reportedly admitted to burglarizing several
residents and swiping many floats. Directed investigators to a vacant
house across the street from his Palm Betray, Palm Bay residence,

(31:31):
where he stole or stored the stolen floats. Detail police
support reveals cops found about seventy five of the floats
in his house, including a lounge care with chair with
cup holders, a duck float, watermelon float float shaped like
a piece of bacon. He also had stolen a Shaqel
O'Neill branded shack inflatable lounger do.

Speaker 10 (31:55):
What the hell?

Mona reportedly told police that he sexually gratifies himself with

loitering and prowing, and violating probation each of his prior
burglary convictions dating back to two thousand and seven, of
all of the theft of pool floats. When he was
arrested in twenty seventeen for loitering and prowing, he was

stack is Stupid, Carl, Thanks for calling this morning. Welcome
to the program.

Speaker 15 (36:40):
Hey Brian, I love the stack of stupid. I've got
one for you. I don't know if you covered this.
This has to do with the aids up in the
Mayor's office in the city of Boston. Yeah, about a
month or so ago, one female aide who happens to
be a generation ze. She's dating another female another male

(37:01):
aide there in the city of Boston, and she thinks
he's cheating on her. So she goes and gets a
date with the guy's boss. And there's a hotel room involved. Well,
she tells the guy about it, and as you can
might imagine, things don't go well. The police are called

(37:23):
and the police make arrests for domestic violence, and the
human resources department fires both of them. However, the fellow
who's running against the mayor up there says, well, what
about the boss, you know, shouldn't he be subject to
some discipline? So that office up there is something else.

(37:45):
I don't know if you remember a year or so ago,
the mayor through a holiday party for the staff who
were people of color. The Caucasian people were not invitable.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Oh yeah, I remember reading about that one. Yeah, the
same office, yeah office.

Speaker 15 (38:01):
And the only reason why, you know, the Caucasian people
found out about it was one of the aides made
a mistake and sent the Caucasian people invitations.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
To right, I do remember that well.

Speaker 15 (38:14):
And then in one of the small towns up there,
there was a situation where the police ended up shooting
the ex fire chief to death outside a bar. And
that's nothing to be joked about. But you should have
seen the press conference on that one with them him
hauling around trying to explain that one.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Yeah, I'm puzzling over the idea that you're going to
deal with your relationship problem by dating the boss of
your boyfriend. Got major issues there that I don't think
counseling can resolve. Appreciate the call, Carl. Let's go to
Seattle where the police are investigating after man was shot

(38:51):
in the leg during an argument over a phone cord.
Thank you, Joseph. He was responded to parts of a
shooting two am Southamford Street. When they arrived, they found
a man who had been shot in the leg. Officers
treated him at the scene, applied to tourniquet, taking the
medical center with non life threatening injuries. Police learn the

(39:12):
suspect had the victim's phone cord and wouldn't give it back,
after which confrontation ensued and the victim ended up getting shot.
Please search for the suspect couldn't find him. No information
about whether the chord was found. Phrasing meant what was

(39:33):
meant to be a solemn ceremony for Westphalia's one thousand,
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary turned into a scandal, shocking Christians.
This in Germany at the Padderborn Cathedral, described as one
of Germany's best known churches became the stage for a
controversial performance during the official state ceremony. What happened Semi

(39:56):
nude dancers performed a routine involving pluck chicken carcasses wrapped
in diapers, while a song titled Flesh is Flesh German
Fleisch ist Fleisch played to the background. Most there just
described this as an unmistakably mockery of the Eucharist and

(40:18):
the dignity of Christian worship. The scene, staged in a
church built for the glory of God, sparked widespread outrage
among Catholics. Within hours, nearly twenty thousand people signed a
petition to manic a public apology for what they described
as a desecration of the Powderborn Cathedral. Petition condemned the
act as a mockery of the central contents of the

(40:39):
Christian faith and violation of a sacred space. Organizes point
the finger directly at Archbishop Udo Marcus Benz, who they
accused of failing and his duty to safeguard both the
cathedral and the church's moral authority. Archdiz has released a
statement expressing regret that religious feelings were hurt, claiming that
this had never been intended, Yet that's done little to

(41:03):
quell the indignation from any Catholics episode, not on an
isolated incident, but a symbol of the broader trend in
which the sacred is increasingly pushed aside in the name
of so called artistic freedom. All right, all of which
may be true, What in the hell is supposed to
be conveyed by way of messaging with plucked chicken carcasses

(41:25):
wrapped in diapers? What's wrong with German people? Well, at
least some of them anyway, Joe, I'm left completely perplexed
by that. You think the south Park movie comes into
Can it play on that or just that one episode

(43:15):
oh five, The Inside Scoop with Bright Barton News, the
Return of John Carney. Bright Barton News and Finance economics editor,
is the economy good or bad? And it depends on
where you get your news. It's kind of the thought
process I went through yesterday with money mondays Brian James,
since he had a whole slew of topics which all
spelled gloom and doom for the economy. But then when

(43:35):
you look at the actual numbers, things are actually not
that bad, at least compared to several years ago when
we had, you know, almost double digit inflation. So things
have cooled off I think two point three percent year
over which is about in line with what the Fed
looks for in terms of inflation manageable. It is the
deep dive with Daniel Davis, and boy don't we have

(43:55):
a lot to go over with Daniel Davis, retired Lieutenant colonel.
Every Tuesday at eight thirty, of course, we'll get an
update on the situation between Russia and Ukraine. And I'm
still just totally amazed at what Ukraine was able to
accomplish with that drone strike. Just the planning behind it
is amazing. They worked on it for eighteen months, and
the idea that they were able to smuggle that many
drones pretty deep into Russia, like four thousand kilometers into

(44:19):
Russia is just really an accomplishment and compared, in my mind,
compared to the Israeli defense forces issuing explosive laden communication
devices to the Hamas folks, just still wondering how they
were able to accomplish that. Anyway, I always interested in
hearing from you as well. Five three, seven, four nine

(44:40):
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three dog
pound five fifty on AT and T phones and fifty
five caresee dot com when you can't listen to Christopher
Smith in vent his spleen and he did vent yesterday.
Check out that podcast. So we had some local immigration
busts the other day, just a handful of them. Several
of them had criminal convictions or criminal activity associated with him.

(45:05):
Some of the residents a little upset about it. It looked
like the local news reached out and found only people
who did not agree with the rest of these illegal immigrants.
Sort of biased reporting. I won't name names, but something
that I've been worried about, and I know a lot
of my listening audience have been worried about. Tom Home
and borders are issued at warning yesterday, This of course

(45:28):
on the heels of that Colorado illegal immigrant, Mohammed Sabrey,
throwing molotov cocktails at people, and I still can't get
over the fact that one of them was a Holocaust survivor.
All they were doing was rallying to try to get

(45:48):
the hostages freed from the Hamas captors. Anyway, moving aside
from that, he expressed and actually he said he's convinced
that we hear in the United States will suffer a
major terrorist attack consequence of the open borders that existed
under Biden administration. He said it's coming regarding the possibility

(46:16):
of a nine to eleven style attack conducted by migrants
who had lobally snuck across the border. Widely reported about
two million got away migrants border patrol agents never apprehended
during the prior administration's concerns more home and more than
the drugs smuggling and sex trafficking it took place on

(46:36):
the US Mexico boundary. Speaking with Fox News, he argued
that Biden administration was granting work permits to unvetted migrants,
obviously a reference to that Colorado terrorist Mohammed Sabre. These
two million known godaways scares the hell out of me.
He said, I'm convinced something's coming unless we can find them.

(47:00):
Hulma noted it was alarming to him that millions, and
this is actually a really good point, millions of migrants
went to great and expensive lengths to avoid detection. When
the Biden administration was quickly releasing illegal border crosses in
the United States, he said, why did two million illegal
aliens pay more to get away? They could have paid

(47:20):
half of what they paid across the border, turn themselves
into border patrol agents, get released that same day, get
a free airline ticket to the city of their choice,
get a free hotel room, get three meals a day,
plus free medical care, and work authorization. Two million people
paid more to get away. They didn't want to be vetted,
they didn't want to be fingerprinted. Why that's rhetorical question

(47:44):
is this scares the hell out of me? And I've
been doing this for forty years. It should have scared
the hell out of every American. And what the Biden
administration did, calling those guidaways, in his words, the biggest
national security vulnerability this country has ever and also predicting
the United States will be grappling with the effects of
the Biden's border policies for the next ten years. I

(48:07):
think considering the number tens rather optimistic. If you added
up all the border the illegal immigrants, mostly criminals, that
the Biden administration is currently rounding up and put them
all together in one big room, would be just a
mere fraction of the believe to be ten to twenty
million that entered the country, two million of which are
the known godaways. And of course, every day we have

(48:33):
a criminal case or a criminal incident involving an illegal immigrant, rapes, murders,
physical attacks, molotov cocktail attacks on innocent people seeking a
better life, for the people who've been captive by the hamas,

(48:54):
I've been worried about, you know, terrorist cells entering the
country and just waiting, biding their time to a more
appropriate and what they deem to be in appropriate time
to launch an attack. And I think that's exactly what
Tom Homman's referring to. US Customs Enforcement announced they connect
to the largest immigration enforcement yes yet this in Massachusetts

(49:16):
and the Greater Boston area. They got fourteen hundred and
sixty one illegal immigrants. Over half of those arrested, seven
hundred and ninety had criminal convictions or charges two hundred
and seventy seven had final orders of removal slash deportation orders.

(49:39):
Operations Boston Acting Field Officer Director Patricia Hyde said, make
no mistake, every person that we arrested was breaking our
immigration laws, but most of these individuals had significant criminality.
These are criminal offenders who victimized innocent people and traumatized
entire communities. Murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, sex predators, and members
of violent transnational criminal gangs. Some are convicted of iolent

(50:04):
crimes in the United States, others were wanted for criminality
in their native countries. All made the mistake of attempting
to subvert justice by hiding out in Massachusetts, and was
noted that hundreds of the arrested targets had been released
by sanctuary jurisdictions in Massachusetts in cases where ICE detainers

(50:24):
were ignored. Sound familiar. You've got a guy in jail
that's got an ICE detainer, and yet we have in
one case, a judge facilitating a guy with an ICE
detainer while ICE is standing out in the hallway waiting
to pick him up because he just got there with
his court proceeding fared him out the back door actively

(50:47):
engaging in depriving ICE of the opportunity to well, maybe
deport him, but at least arrest him because he's got
a detainer out. These are folks in maybe I don't
know if it's an elected capacity in that particular state
where that judge is, but people in positions of authority
who are actively engaged in preventing immigrations and customs from

(51:12):
enforcing laws on the books, and in some cases criminal
illegal aliens. I weep for America said this operation also

(51:35):
included the rest of the so called collaterals that be
illegal aliens who weren't in ICE's priority list but were
with people they were in fact targeting, and ICE has
been repeatedly warning that sanctuary policies will lead to these
collateral arrests. If you've got the guy who's the criminal,
and if you don't want people who aren't engaged in
criminal activity yet nonetheless are illegal aliens, you want to

(51:57):
keep ICE from having to go to where that criminal is.
You want to hold them in custody until ICE can
pick that one singular person up, as opposed to them
being released and going home and hanging out with the
family who may be here illegally but haven't conducted anything criminal,
which is where all the big major concern is coming from.
We're breaking up families, We're deporting people who haven't done
anything wrong. Well, you know, you can make an argument

(52:20):
about that whether they did anything wrong by coming into
our country without permission, a victimless crime unless you look
at the monetary toll it's taken on our country. But
by harboring them or facilitating their release into society, you

(52:40):
are ultimately going to cause ICE to pick up a
lot more people because they typically are living among other
illegal immigrants. You got to go out into the community
to make the arrest of these criminal aliens on the
streets rather than having them transferred from the local jurisdic
at jail. I mean, duh, that's just just frustrating. And

(53:10):
you know, at least I know that I'm on the
right side of the Ledger on this one, because all
the polling indicates at least the one area where Trump
has got good numbers. You can look all across the
economy and this, that and the other thing teriff policies,
and you know, he's underwater here, he's underwater there. But
when it comes to enforcing illegal immigration and when it
comes to enforcing the border and border security, and when

(53:31):
it comes to removing criminals from our country who are
not supposed to be here in the first place, most
of us say he's doing a good job. It's the

It's six twenty one to five kc DE talk station.
Before I get to the phone, jays on the line,
I note along the same lines. According to Texas State
Representative David Spiller, they just passed a bill that will
mandate all Texas sheriffs who operator, contact or contract writer
out of a county jail to enter into an agreement

(56:29):
with ICE, which provides training and access to immigration databases,
enabling deputies to perform limited immigration law enforcement. Bottom line is,
you gotta cooperate with ICE, so no releasing of these
detainer folks out of the jails. Local sheriff's departments will
be cooperating with ICE officials to make sure they're transferred

(56:50):
into the immigrations and Customs enforcement hands, which sounds me
like the logical thing to do. Jay, thanks for calling
this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 18 (57:01):
Hey, good morning, Brian. As you're talking, you know, just
it's a constant reminder that the biggest national security threat
to Red States is Blue States and the Democrat Party
more specifically. And I can't help but think that the
founders when they got together in a room and said, Okay,
we're going to put together a system of government that
maximizes individual freedom and protect God given rights, I don't.

Speaker 7 (57:25):
Think that I think that they would be shocked to.

Speaker 18 (57:27):
Find out that we never got back in the room
again and said okay, let's let's see how things are going,
what's working, what's not working, Because if we had, we
would find and discover that again, the biggest national security
threat to the Red States and the biggest risk to
our personal freedoms are Blue states and the Democrat Party platform.

(57:51):
And if you go back in time and say, you know,
the Chinese didn't know how to launch satellites into space
until Bill Clinton gave them supercomputers. Obama took over health
care and along with carbon dioxide and carbon emissions, and
shut down the energy Joe Biden let millions of immigrants
illegal immigrants, and that are now going to propose a

(58:13):
terrorist threat.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
And I agree with you.

Speaker 18 (58:15):
I think it could be longer than ten years. I
think it's going to be a generation or more that
we're going to be We're going to be turning into
we've turned into one of these countries where we're going
to be fighting terrorism at every front. I like the
discussion about a national divorce, which doesn't mean civil war.
It means we part company and we can be as

(58:36):
close to each other as Canada and Mexico. But there
is already a cold civil war in his country. And
our ideas are so different that it is to the
point that if the Red States want to have God
given freedoms protected and they want to follow the Constitution
and we want to have national security, it's not going
to happen when half the federal government is run by
communists ie Democrats. And I wish that, I wish that

(59:00):
to get back on the table, but sadly it seems
like that came in and then.

Speaker 7 (59:04):
It faded away, and I think we're going.

Speaker 18 (59:05):
To pay a heavy price for it. Well, because we
cannot do the right hard thing.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
I mean, I appreciate and hear everything you're saying. The
problem is that too few people pay attention to the
realities of what is happening in this country. They're persuaded
by liberal ideology. They don't put it to a logical
reasoning test. They hear sound bites. They're convinced by social
media and the mainstream media that you know that these

(59:31):
these right wing folks are all a bunch of lunatic,
racist people, and that they're a threat to democracy, without
explaining exactly how it is that folks like you and
I j are somehow a threat to democracy, you know.
And you've got the Internet, which crosses all state and
country lines. There is no borders when it comes to that,
dominated by leftists and leftist ideology and sometimes nefarious actions

(59:54):
by our most dangerous enemies like the Chinese Communist Party,
you know, and people don't take the in their lives
to pay close attention to it on the level that
maybe like you or I do. I mean, I have
to do this for a living. I mean, I've lamented.
There are days when I just get exhausted by reading
what I read in the news. But it's my job
to do it, and it's my job to pay attention

(01:00:14):
and see through the crap that's out there. But most people,
you know, they don't dedicate a moment's time in their
lives even watching something like a thirty minute sound bite
review of the news that you'll get from a half
hour news program in the evening. They don't have time
for that. They got to binge watch Netflix. They got
you know, specialized soccer. They're taking their kids too. They

(01:00:35):
got a life to live. They don't have time for politics.
And so when they hear a meme or they see
a meme rather or they hear a repeated SoundBite over
and over evil Orange Man, they just sort of adopt
that as a Defaull principle and think that's a dominant philosophy.
And lord knows, nobody wants to buck the system or
not be a part of the masses of the on
the on the right side of the ledger, and so
they join in that in that chorus of lies. You know,

(01:00:58):
I think that's our biggest problem, Jay, It's just willful ignorance.
And then double down on that with the dumbing down
of our children. I read that story the other day
about California is equity grading. You can pass the class
with a twenty one. A twenty one is a D.
I mean, yeah, okay, Well that means you're graduating a

(01:01:19):
kid who doesn't know Jack Squad about anything. That's an
ignorant person, that is a useful idiot that can be
easily manipulated by whatever evil forces are out in the world. Yeah,
one hundred percent.

Speaker 6 (01:01:34):
Agreed, Brian.

Speaker 18 (01:01:35):
And this is where I think that leadership in the
Republican Party and the Conservative movement.

Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
There's thirty six red states.

Speaker 18 (01:01:42):
Being let around by the nose by fourteen blue states.
Enough is enough, So the people that are in power,
make your case, stand up and speak to the American people.
Lay it out in black and white. You've got more
than enough facts over from Jimmy Carter on back to
Woodrow Wilson. Lay out your case and start the move
to get this national divorce done. But it takes some

(01:02:02):
leadership as well. So I don't disagree with you the
grassroots that we're a country of blissful ignorance. But the
people that are in power, every Republican, every Conservative, they
see it every damn day. Well, what their colleagues on
the other side of the aisle are doing. So do something,
Do something bold instead of the half step measures where
the left takes this eighty miles an hour to the

(01:02:25):
left and when Republicans get in power they can slow
it down to twenty miles per hour to the left.
Seems like the best we can hope for. So I'm
looking for more bold action. And I think that they would.
I think those Blue states, if they had to implement
their own ideas on their own dime, it wouldn't take
but two or three years before they would come crawling
back asking to get back into the voluntary union.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
Of fifty states.

Speaker 18 (01:02:45):
If that's what we still have, and I'm not sure
it is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Well, and you say on your own dime that I
have to turn to Republicans and the so called big
beautiful bill capitulating and increasing salt deductions of forty grand
because that just benefits those Blue states that are so
heavy TAXI that they want to write off those extra taxes,
which helps support the nonsense that they voted these people
in office and pass legislation and overwhelm the social welfare

(01:03:11):
and everything else. All these these leftist policies. All we
need to help this. We need to build that. Okay,
we're going to increase attacks and increase the tax well,
I get to write it off, meaning the Red States
are going to cover the freight for the outrageous taxes
and policies that we've implemented here in our Blue states.
Republicans they did that. I mean ten thousand. You may
think ten thousands too much, but forty thousand they were

(01:03:32):
looking for one hundred thousand dollars just to write off
their own states taxes. That's a supplement from the Republican states.
The Red states with lower taxation put it shouldering the
burden on the entire American public. It's just wrong. So
we've got Republicans to deal with too, Jay, And I'm
sure you could probably name a handful. I know I can.
It's a growing threat. I appreciate your thoughts, Jay, Always

are right there, really easy to get to. That's where

(01:04:16):
Austin and the SE certified Master technicians will be working
on your car. You'll get a full warranty on parts
in service. And the reason you would go there as
opposed to the dealer is because you're not gonna pay
as much and you'll have a lot of money saved
by going to Foreign Exchange. Plus, I argue the customer
service there is superior to the dealer. I don't have
anything against the dealer where I bought my car, but
I go to Foreign Exchange when it comes to service.

(01:04:37):
That's been the case for I think at least ten years,
and I'd love to be able to add up all
the money I've saved over those ten years compared to
the dealer. But I know it's a lot. And again

And at what point does anyone ask the tough question
is there any degree of elder abuse here? Because it
had to be worse behind the scenes. I think we
you saw the best of him. And Kinra has been
seth molten on with Bill Maher over the weekend saying
part of the reason for the cover up of Biden's
mental fitness is because Democrats feared being honest would help
Donald Trump. We also found out over the weekend, and

(01:05:33):
this doesn't surprise me because we were calling it out
at the time. Remember they would not go to East Palestine,
you know, they were too busy. And now we find
out that Biden Whitehouse insisted families were saved publicly, but
they found that it was toxic and could cause cancer
and warned of a cancer cluster, and they weren't telling
the people of East Palestine.

I embrace and appreciate because you know what, if this
state went to hell in a hand basket like California,
I would like so many Californians, New Yorkers and others
leave the state for a better environment. The only problem
is that a lot of those leftists leave their state

(01:09:13):
because it sucks, and then bring their stupid ideas to
the states that they moved to and end up changing
those states into suck states. Scary phenomenon happening right in
front of her very eyes. George got a break if
you don't mind holding for a moment. I'll be happy
to take your call, and I'm looking forward to it.
First though, a way to save massive money. Ask my
friend Jeff always sends me an email when I mentioned

(01:09:35):
Affordable Imaging Services because Jeff saved three thousand, one hundred
dollars when you got a CT scan there much in
the same way I save that kind of money I've had.
I think this is my third coming up this month
at Affordable Imaging Services. It's four point fifty without a
contrast six hundred fifth. You might pay five grand at
a hospital for a CT scan. It'll they'll make you

(01:09:57):
wait around a long time. I had the MRI I
fairly recently at Affordable Imaging Services and I was told
by my doctor, Man, they're really backed up over at
the hospitals. I don't want to go there anyway. He goes, Oh, no,
I know you do commercials for affordable I'll just call
on the script there. I got it called in. I
was there the next day getting my MRI. It was
a little over six hundred dollars because I needed a contrast.

(01:10:18):
If you don't need to contrast, four hundred and ninety
five bucks Echo Cardigram thirty five hundred dollars at a hospital,
perhaps five hundred without an enhancement, eight hundred with an enhancement.
Affordable Imaging Services. Every image comes with a board certified
radiologist report. Never had a complaint for my various doctors
who have reviewed those. It's the same equipment, medical professionals
who've been at this for years and years and years

(01:10:39):
operating the equipment. So why not save a lot of money?

Love to hear from you. You've got a comment. I've

much for holding over the break here. Sorry couldn't get
your call in the last segment. Welcome to the program, Borning.

Speaker 21 (01:12:17):
Brian, and I was thinking that when the Bounders broke
the constitution, they have the Senate appointed by the state
legislatures for a reason, and that reason was for them
to represent the state's victors, not the people victress. And

(01:12:40):
when they changed that, how senators do is worry about
getting re elected as opposed to protecting the states, particularly
the red states for the blue states.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
PROBA, Yeah, there is that. Well, remember the original the
original argument of the Constitution was do we have a really,
really ober powerful federal centralized government or do we allow
the states to have some measure of control and authority
over their own destiny? And you know, we have a

(01:13:14):
constitutional republic here. The states are supposed to be in
control for the large part, but gradually, over time federal
power has increased more and more. And I think one
of the most evil, nefarious things that allowed the federal
government to increase its power and control is income tax.
Because they take the tax from us, they unilaterally decide
how much money they're going to take from our paychecks

(01:13:36):
to fill their coffers, and then when we need money,
we want some of our money back. It comes back
with what strings attached, which allows the federal government to
control the states. That's what happened with the highway money
here in Ohio. We wanted to keep the drinking age
at nineteen for young people to have beer. Hell, they
can be shipped off to war. But no, no, no, no.
Unless you change a drinking age at twenty one, you're
not going to get federal money. Well, we capitulated, didn't we.

(01:13:59):
And that's the story that has been the an issue
for decades and decades and decades. Now it's nefarious from
my standpoint, but it's a reality.

Speaker 21 (01:14:13):
Well, I'm seventy years old and I'm headed to work
this morning. I work my forty five fifty five hours
a week. Can they take my money and give it
to people I don't even like.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
Yes, they do, yes, they and they take a.

Speaker 21 (01:14:32):
Big jump because I have nothing to claim but me.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Well, you are not alone in your complaints and criticisms.
I saw an article and I actually printed out how
the eighty percent of the US population supports twenty percent
who choose not to work even though they're capable of work.
There are people in this country, and you know it
is I'm just I feel like I'm man'splaining here. They're capable.

(01:15:00):
This is the issue with Medicaid. Why are you getting
public assistance that was designed and created to help folks
with disabilities and people truly on life's margins, People with
cognitive problems people who are incapable of performing labor on
any level, allowing folks that are in that category to

(01:15:25):
just well rip off the American taxpayer. From my standpoint,
there should be an obligation to participate if you're able
to do it. And I'll make a plug for the
trades again, there are so many job opportunities out there
for folks who know. Don't need a college education. All

(01:15:45):
you need is training and if you're able body, you're
able to perform in the trades, you can earn. Why
you learn, watch the journeyman works. See how he hammers
the shingle into the roof. Can you do that? Yeah?
Next thing you know, you're a roofer with a decent salary.

(01:16:12):
And it's across the board with all the trades. How
could you argue against that? I mean, Jony Ernst is
in a town hall. You they get an earfool from
people some believe to be paid activists. Jury's out on that.
Constituent question ERNs about the reconciliation bill, arguing that the

(01:16:32):
proposed cuts seem neither compassionate nor fiscally responsible. Audience applauded
to this woman, especially concerns about the bills proposed cuts
to snap benefits of Medicaid spending. Ernst, for her part,
said those who would lose Medicaid were not currently eligible
for Medicaid. You're arguing when you're arguing about illegals that

(01:16:53):
are receiving Medicaid benefits, she said, one point four million.
They're not They're not eligible, so they will be coming
off off what audience member heard shouting people are gonna die.
We are not going to we are all going to die.
We're not all going to die. Actually, her comment was
more of a it's like death and taxis. She said, well,

(01:17:15):
we are all going to die. Some people, boode, listen
to me when I say She said that we are
going to focus on those that are most vulnerable. If
you don't want to listen, that's fine. But what I'm
doing is going through and telling you that those that

(01:17:37):
are not eligible, those that are working and have benefits elsewhere,
those should receive the benefits elsewhere. Leave those dollars for
those that are eligible for Medicaid. Meaning if you're able
body and you're capable of working, you're really not eligible
for Medicaid in the first instance. How is it that
we expanded this program to include people who are able
bodied six forty seven fifty five k s. The talk

(01:18:03):
station cover Sensey another exact. I did get my email
from Jeff after I mentioned Affordable Imaging Services another service
he and he went full on with Cover Sinsey. He's
got a small business and he was not happy with
the insurance benefits. It was expensive and it didn't he
had the big out of pocket expense and out of

(01:18:25):
pocket liability. And I was talking about small businesses. You
really should reach out to John Room and the team
at Cover Sincy because of your employees maybe aren't making
a whole lot of money and therefore they're not willing
to pay an insurance printing when they got to shovel
out nine thousand dollars up front before the insurance even
kicks in. An ideal call is to Cover Sincy where
John can get your people insured with you know, even

(01:18:46):
including dollar one coverage. He is your broker and he
literally and his team literally talked to each and every
one of the employees because everybody's in a different place
in life. They work with hundreds of insurance companies, thousands
of different policies. Because they are your broker, they're not
working for those companies. They'll put together a package of

(01:19:07):
insurance that does provide great coverage for a lot less money,
so you can save heaploads of money. And then after
the medical insurance is put and he went out and
he went back for vision and dental as well. His
employees are extremely happy, and I've heard from him many times.
Just one person, one small business owner who's got great
results with cover Sensing. If you're in another state, he

(01:19:29):
can help you. They're nationwide. I know it's cover Sinsy,
which suggests it's just the greater Cincinnati area, but no,
they're everywhere and they do a great job. For example,
couples under sixty five saving thirty to sixty percent with
better coverage. Yeah, that's kind of how what happens all
the time. Is there any obligation to you know, all

Speaker 7 (01:21:05):
Welcome Hi Brian.

Speaker 22 (01:21:07):
My husband, and I met you at the iHeart Christmas
party this year.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Oh, and.

Speaker 22 (01:21:13):
I wanted to tell you that I had a daughter
who worked as an executive with Ernest and Julia Gallo,
and she had a great office on Court Street, up
on the fourth floor, and in that same building was
a disability office, and there was a guard who worked
at the front door to make sure that everybody was
up and up when they came into the office building.

(01:21:35):
And he told us that he saw people come in
that building on walkers and crutches and they would go
up to the disability office and apply there or get
their checks or whatever, and then he would see them
come down on the elevator and they were walking out.

Speaker 7 (01:21:53):
They just made it look like they had disability to.

Speaker 22 (01:21:57):
You know, get money, and then after they did, they
just walked on out the building.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
Well I.

Speaker 7 (01:22:04):
Happened.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Yeah, it doesn't shock me a bit. If there's a
way to build the system, somebody's going to learn to
build the system. But that's one of the reasons in
the Big Beautiful Bill, which I hate the name of,
they have an eligibility check twice a year as opposed
to one. Now, I don't know if that can change
the dynamic of what you're describing, because the eligibility check
is going to take place at that office, and they're
going to show up with their walkers or their wheelchairs

(01:22:27):
or their crutches and perform a similar act, but at
least it'll be a double check. Maybe surprise visits to
the home might be in order, although the amount of
bureaucracy and the number of people that would be required
to check up on people and the veracity of what
they're saying about their disability would be overwhelming and a
huge cost in and of itself. So, you know, people

(01:22:48):
are just willing to rip the system off. I mean
how people within government are rip ripping the system off.
I saw that story the other day about a sixty
million dollars. I believe it was Snap fraud by someone
that worked for SNAP. I think that was the right agency.
So yeah, lack of ethics, morality, criminal behavior generally speaking,

(01:23:10):
I mean, it's rampant, it's everywhere. But if the government's involved,
you can rest assure Marcy that they're not going to
be good about checking up on things. Why let's go
back to the factor where the money comes from. Their
organizations exist because they don't have to make money. They're
not accountable to the American taxpayer. They just take the
money and spend it inefficiently quite often, as a department

(01:23:30):
of a government efficiency pointed out time and time and
time and time again, they aren't accountable. Any business out
there that operated by the the federal government would be
out of business. But because they automatically get the money
for the American taxpayer. And oddly enough, in spite of
the trillions of dollars they take away from us every year,

(01:23:51):
it's still not enough. And they spend more than a
trillion dollars and aer training and a half dollars every
single year beyond what they take in. I mean, the
system is designed to fall apart. That's why I keep
talking about the existential thread of government spending. You can't
run the printing press forever see history. It's been tried before,

(01:24:15):
and it's never worked, and the results are always catastrophic.

Happy to day one hour from now. The insight'shub be
bright Bart News today the return of John Carney, who's
the bright part news. Financial Economic Sedator. Is the economy
good or bad? Depends on where you get your news.
It's the kind I put it out yesterday we're talking
with Dave Wariam's taxpayer Protection Lines. I was joking before
we talk with him, he had all these articles lined up,
they suggesting everything was all gloom and doom and not really.

(01:25:26):
So there's a lot of positive news out there in
terms of the economy, and inflation is down, and of
course wild oil is going up a little bit. I
just saw get that price of the pump under three bucks.
When's the last time you saw that? So you know,
look for the positives. Egg prices are down sixty percent,
so you know, it's just there's there's some good out there.
It just depends on where you get in your news

(01:25:47):
and what your perceptions are. And sometimes perceptions don't mirror reality.
And that's you know, springing from the argument or the
discussion we're having the prior hour. If you're not paying
attention closer to what's going on, like what's in that
quote unquote big beautiful bill, you'd think that all these
people are going to be starving to death and in
the streets the Republicans evil, they are going to cut

(01:26:08):
everybody out. Oh my god, the world's going to end.
And that's not what that bill does. It's that work requirement.
It's only twenty hours a week, eighty hours a month

It should be an interesting conversation given the materials I
have on the book, and over the break I found

(01:26:54):
the article. I was referring to written by Antonio Grisefo
came out yesterday, how the bottom twenty percent lives on
your taxes. Let just go ahead and read it. Despite
Democrats claims about the rich not paying their fair share,
that's that class warfare thing I might interject at class warfare.
You know, this is a pure Marxist concept in philosophy.

(01:27:16):
You know, the evil rich, the evil rich. You know
you're It plays on covetousness, greed, it plays on envy.
Is how Marxism is embraced as a concept by so
many people. You shouldn't have more than someone else. Well,
that just eradicates the entire work ethic and systems fail

(01:27:37):
when you do that again see history. It's like running
the printing press and you think you can, you know,
just keep things going alive and well, just by printing
more and more dollars. And know that just creates inflationary reality.
You can't keep up with. Next thing, you know, the
currency is valueless. Venezuela Zimbabwe if I'm our republic anyway.
Despite Democrats claims about the rich not paying their fair share,

(01:28:00):
status shows the top twenty percent of earners pay more
than sixty five percent of all federal income tax the
bottom twenty percent pay effectively nothing, receiving more and benefits
than they are paying in taxes. According to data from
the Congressional Budget Office and the US Census Bureau, the
bottom twenty percent of US income orders households in the
lowest income quintile receive a significant portion, often the majority,

(01:28:24):
of their income from government transfers, Medicaid, SNAP, housing subsidies,
refederal tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit. Roughly
eighty percent of Americans are taxpayers, while the remaining twenty
percent are net consumers. To put it in simple terms,
taxpayers eat what they kill, while tax consumers live off
what others have hunted. They rely on the labor and

(01:28:45):
productivity of the working class to sustain their standard of living.
Although liberals often portray welfare recipients as disabled or unable
to work, the reality is that most could work but
choose not to. Congressional Budget Office sixty percent of working
age adults in the welfare dependent population did not work

(01:29:06):
at all during the year, and many were not officially
classified as disabled. Among recipients of SNAP alone, roughly twenty
percent are classified as able bodied adults without dependence. Data
from the Census Bureau and the Department of Health and
Human Services show that roughly forty to fifty percent of
these individuals are able bodied adults of working age, and

(01:29:26):
yet they have somehow managed to gain the system and
continue receiving benefits. In other words, not qualified, and yet
they still receive them. The controversy over the Big Beautiful
Bill was, as usual misrepresented. The media frame that his
cruel cuts as if benefits were being stripped of some
old crippled woman born with her heart on the outside,

(01:29:48):
raising several mixed raced children. A ten percent cut, for example,
is always portrayed as meeting a disabled or aged person
living on two thousand a month is now going to
be getting eighteen hundred dollars. But that's generally not what
a budget cut means most cases. It simply means the
bar is being raised to qualify for benefits so that

(01:30:09):
the healthy, working, aged people are encouraged to go back
to work. And proof of this is that Democrats are
always quick to say with the new cuts, twelve million
people could lose their benefits. Yes, that's exactly what a
cut is supposed to do. Reduce the total number of
people on benefits not necessarily reduce payments to those who
truly need them, as is so often the case in

(01:30:33):
politics between the two parties, terms need to be defined.
Most people agree that those who truly need help should
get it, include me among them. We just want to
narrow the definition of who qualifies Democrats. Por trade benefits
is a temporary lifeline, but in reality they often create
long term dependence. States routinely report challenges and getting these

(01:30:55):
individuals into job training or employment programs. Meanwhile, many recipients
get more in refundable tax credits than they owe, along
with a wide range of benefits from both federal and
state programs, including snap, Medicaid, Section eight, housing utility subsidies,
and child tax credits. With the rent, medical care, food,
and other expenses covered without working, they have little incentive

(01:31:16):
to put in the effort that would disqualify them from
receiving free money. Compounding the issue, many of the households
receiving benefits some suffer rather from chronic social breakdown, according
to the US Census Bureau. And I've had so many
experts and authors and politicians and police department officials and

(01:31:39):
lord across the spectrum of the World point out this,
more than seventy percent of children in low income or
inner city communities are raised in fatherless homes. These children
face dramatically worse outcomes across the board. The National Fatherhood
Initiative reports that children without fathers are four times more
likely to live in poverty, trice, is likely to drop
out of school, and more likely to engage in criminal

(01:32:01):
activity or be incarcerated. Studies from the Brooking Institute and
Pew Charitable Trust further show that welfare dependency is often
passed down through generations. The child whose parents receive public
assistance is significantly significantly more likely to end up on
welfare themselves, and the probability increases further if both parents

(01:32:23):
and grandparents are lived on benefits. In some communities, families
are now entering their fourth generation of government dependence, with
no expectation or cultural pressure to exit the welfare system,
and the left either denies that any of this is true,
or worse, believes it's a good thing. And that's where
the nefarious component comes in. Going back to the education system,

(01:32:49):
if you're not teaching a child the learning skills necessary
for an independent life, if you are passing children into
the next grade, they do not have the base level
skills for that particular grade that they're being passed through.
If you're passing children and providing a diploma at high
school for someone who has gotten across the board d's
by only getting twenty percent of the material correct, if

(01:33:13):
you're allowing them to skip a school, if you're not
doing a skip school legit. Literally, this was from California
the other day. I was just my mind was blown
by this recent development, this equitable grading system they put
in place in certain schools in the California education system,
where you don't need to show up a class, you
don't need to do homework, there are no additional tests.

(01:33:35):
There is one final exam at each semester or quarter
or whatever they're on that you can take over and
over and over again until such time you get at
least twenty percent right and get a d that as
a child that I'm certain is more likely to be
a dependent on government. So that's an unbelievably nefarious element

(01:33:59):
going on right there. And dependence on government, of course
benefits one party more than the other. Now, there are
certain Republicans out in the world which I laid blame
on for not being more true to the pure republican
philosophies and sticking to core principles like we need to
assist people to help them get out of the system,

(01:34:21):
not create dependence on this system. So called big beautiful
bill with at least a work requirement getting people out
into the world and having them participate on some level
to help them release themselves from dependence on government. But
if you get people into the system who then complain

(01:34:42):
about the level of taxation and complain about the fact that, well,
how come that guy's not pulling his weight, Democrats would
lose some of their elected offices, wouldn't they. So in
order to stay in power, many of these leftists, often Marxists,

(01:35:05):
i might point out, want a dependent class. They want
people voting money into their own pocket. You know, that's
my old comment. The fool is the one that's not
looking out for his or her own best interests. Well,
if you think it's in your best interest to get
free stuff and things from governments, they don't have to
get up out of bed in the morning and head
off to work like so many of so many other

(01:35:26):
of us do, then you're going to vote for the
person who's going to continue down that path, the one
who's promising you more stuff and free things from government,
none of which is truly free. And for those class
warriors out there that think all the richer evil people,
without the top twenty percent of earners in this country,

(01:35:48):
there will be sixty five percent less federal income taxes
being taken in by the federal government which supports these programs.
You know, I don't make this stuff up. I just
observe it for what it is. And you know, oh,

(01:36:09):
you're the evil guy. You're the one that wants people
to starve in the street. No, absolutely not. I want
people to appreciate the beauty of work, the fulfilling reality
of employment, sometimes not always pleasant, joy of getting up

(01:36:31):
and going to work, but the reward that work itself
provides you, the dignity of work, the freedom and liberation
you can get from work, the idea that you don't
have to vote for some chucklehead to put food on

Seven twenty two. If you have krcity talk station. Several
callers online start with Jeff, Jeff, thanks for calling this morning.
Welcome to the program.

Speaker 7 (01:39:02):
Ryan, good morning. I have one real quick question. Why
is it not criminally negligent for a school system to
pass people that don't come to school and they can't read,
and they can't write in the grading system that they have.
I mean, it's basically saying screw you, America, and especially

(01:39:23):
for the kid. I'll hang up, and I appreciate your answer.

Speaker 1 (01:39:26):
I appreciate it, Jeff, because there's no law on the
books which obligates us to require a child to reach
a certain level of functionality in school in order to
be passed along to the next grade. And go ahead
and try to propose a law like that, I'm sure
you'd get a sizable population of our elected officials who
would reject the notion that teachers should be required to

(01:39:49):
ensure that children are at their level before they're passed along.
It seems a question of logic and reason. There's a
lot of people out there. Oh my god, you can't
hold Johnny back. That would all his feelings would be heard.
It would be uncomfortable for him having to repeat the grade. Hey, listen,
I went to school with people who had to repeat
a grade. I don't recall ever looking down on them.

(01:40:10):
I don't recall ever even giving it a thought, but
to the extent they continued on with their education and
moved on and successfully completed the next grade level after
giving this, the other one is shot the second time.
They're probably happy that they were held back, because that's
just a problem that gets more and more profound as

(01:40:30):
you move on. It's the basic building blocks. If you
don't have a foundation, you don't have a house to
be sitting on top of it. Mississippi, James, welcome to
the show, my friend. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 3 (01:40:42):
Come in peace, love everybody, and there's nothing you can
do about it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
I love the message, James. Let's on your mind today?

Speaker 4 (01:40:50):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
You were speaking of the echo chamber, and that describes
it so well and depends on where you get your
news from, sir. And I'm a person and I listen
on both sides and say, hey, that makes sense. So
the way you just described it, it may one hundred
percent truth, you know, as far as the budget cut,

(01:41:12):
what it means and whatnot. And then you know, you
listen at the other side and they compassionate about what
they mean and the logic they use. So you sit
there and you still subjected to your own experience, you know,
and like you say, where you get your information from
your eed co chamber, you're listening in a vacuum. Nobody's

(01:41:36):
one hundred percent right. But you can frame it at
any different any given time and be, you know, in
a snapshot. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, you
take a snapshot, But how do we get this larger
as far as society? And maybe we can't, but we
gotta spread this logic out.

Speaker 1 (01:41:57):
Well, you're allowed. Then you can come to a different
political conclusion. The facts are like, for example, what I
just read, I didn't make the figures up, you know,
I mean, I've read this over and over again. The
IRS says, the Congrecial Budget Office says, the US Census
Bureau says, all these organizations that but both sides of
the political ledger rely on. These are statistics about who

(01:42:18):
pays taxes and who doesn't. Now you can argue that
it doesn't matter that the bottom twenty percent that can
work should still be able to get these benefits for
whatever reason political. Otherwise you could be a Marxist and say, well,
from each accordion's ability to each court is me these
folks don't have the ability to work. And you can
make that argument. I would deny that that's the truth.

(01:42:40):
And we could argue about that, but we could come
to different end conclusions based upon the same information. You know,
I don't expect a Marxist to embrace what I stand for,
which is libertarian philosophy. Little well, you know, but there
are Marxists out in the world who think that you
aren't You shouldn't make more than someone else. Even if
you work harder and create something like you're the Bill

(01:43:02):
Gates of the world. You come out with the greatest
products in sliced bread, they believe you still shouldn't be
able to work. The community owns your intellectual labor. The
community owns your physical labor. It's part of the collective.
I reject that completely as a political philosophy, and I
couldn't argue with the Marxist about it because they firmly

(01:43:22):
believe that we all live for each other, and we
all own each other's stuff and things, and that no
one should have more. So there's two sides of the
argument and two different end games and conclusions, but based
upon the same data that exists. So I know where
you're coming from, and I hear you. But when the

(01:43:44):
echo chamber of the world with Internet, you can just
cling to far right leaning sites and only get that
and not even have a comprehension or understanding of what
the far left sites and news information has by way
of their philosophy. And if they do that same thing,
that means both sides are ignorant of what the other
people are thinking, so they can't even engage in a responsible,

(01:44:07):
coherent debate on the topic. So look forward to seeing
at lunch tomorrow missus Mississippi, James. I hope you and
your beautiful bride can make it. Jeff, if you don't
mind hold on, I'll be happy to take your call,

fifty on eighteen teeth Funds, just like Jeff did. Jeff,
Welcome to the program thanks to a holder with the
break there.

Speaker 23 (01:46:26):
Hey you knowing every morning, Bryan. I actually just wanted
a kind of a comment on your what you.

Speaker 24 (01:46:33):
Were talking about with kids, you know, being passed, uh
mind technically pot yeah, uh Like I have a daughter
who's actually in that situation, still in elementary.

Speaker 16 (01:46:45):
School, perfect grade the whole way through that they won't
pass them on to the next grade unless they passed
the state test.

Speaker 23 (01:46:52):
Which is very similar to the Department of Education.

Speaker 21 (01:46:56):
But the tests are out a computer.

Speaker 23 (01:46:58):
They do not allow the kid to go back and
change an answer. So I've got a batary who can
hate anything if you did it to her on a
paper test, but you can't pass it on a computer
test because when she realized made a wrong choice, you
can't go back and take this.

Speaker 1 (01:47:14):
Huh, Well, that sounds unfair, And I mean, I'll support
you in your criticism of that, because you know, having
done tests many times over my life, I have gone
back and rethought about something, erase the answer, and then
put a different answer in. I think I even did
that in a bar exam. So if you're I mean,

(01:47:38):
you are locked in and you cannot alter it during
the one testing period and the other the other thing
I found a fault I found with a California grating system.
Not only would they give you a D for a
twenty percent passing, you're allowed to take the test as
many times as you need and to ultimately pass it.
Something tells me you might learn something. And even Timothy
pointed out, and this is an email. If you only

(01:47:58):
need to pass you twenty percent to and if it's
multiple choice, there's a probability that even a guest will
result in a twenty percent outcome, meaning you don't know anything.
So yeah, that does not seem fair or appropriate to me. Now,
I would much rather be able to go back and
change my response. After you think about something, you're like,

(01:48:19):
oh wait a second, I remember now, so valid point.
Valid point. Let us see here a couple of local
stories anyway, here's one from this morning. Joe found this
one out right after the show opened.

(01:49:02):
Multiple shell casings found outside the home. Shot spotter, which
is that gun detective system that lets the police know
about gunfire, detected as many as fourteen shots fired, accord
to the captain. No suspect information currently available. No one's

Rocky Freedom. Welcome to the program to talk about your book,
Gunfighters Rule, and thank you for your service. Retired current
William Burner done.

Speaker 25 (01:53:03):
Well, Hey, Bryan, thanks for having me. And I really
appreciate that, uh that that update there, So that sounded great.

Speaker 1 (01:53:10):
It's you, man, it's you. You lived it.

Speaker 4 (01:53:13):
I appreciate it. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:53:15):
I gotta ask it before we get to talking about
Gunfighters Rule and the story you've got there. Where did
you get Berner from as the as the nickname.

Speaker 4 (01:53:24):
Well, let's let's let's just put it here we go.
That's gonna that's gonna cost you a beer to get
that whole all right.

Speaker 1 (01:53:32):
I got a check, I got a stack of challenge coins, Colonel,
so I'll I'll be sure and have one in my
pocket next time we sit down catch you off guard?
Maybe all right, I appreciate that. Now gunfighters rule. Obviously,
you lived a life, you were in combat, you flew.
What kind of helicopter did you fly? Was it a
viper or a venom?

Speaker 25 (01:53:50):
Or it was a whiskey cobra, whisky cobra, the venom
and the vipers. I got some time in the Huey's
and uh, the four belated over came out right as
I was getting.

Speaker 4 (01:54:02):
Ready to retire.

Speaker 25 (01:54:02):
I got a bunch of simulator time, but I never
actually got the fly to four B lady cover.

Speaker 1 (01:54:06):
Okay, So you you, obviously, or at least I presumably
you saw combat.

Speaker 25 (01:54:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, I saw combat uh many times, primarily
as a Ford Air controller during o F one and
then as a squadron commander of the gunfighters in o
F six eight. So I've got got quite a bit
of time on the ground over in Iraq for four
combat deployments to Iraq, uh, And I did a combat

(01:54:35):
deployment to Mogadishu, but I didn't I didn't return fire.

Speaker 4 (01:54:39):
They shot at us. We never saw whatever it's coming from.

Speaker 25 (01:54:41):
So a little bit of combat all over, but uh,
you know, a lot of a lot of my brothers.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
And sister did a lot more than me. So well,
I understand you. Most folks that serve their country honorably
always tell the story of the other guys and how
much more the other people did. And I'm certain that's
a bit of being humble on your part. So is
this is the gunfighters rule? Is it your story or
is it a work of of Is it fictional account?

(01:55:09):
Because you know, as I read the notes, it tells
the story of a boy destined to become the United
States Marine, which sounds like it could be either fact
or fiction. Is this your story?

Speaker 4 (01:55:18):
Oh, it's my story for sure, all right. Now.

Speaker 25 (01:55:23):
I started out a young, young lad with my father
and mother were Air Force veterans, and my dad was
in the Air Force. And when I was a young kid,
my dad started talking about how awesome these marines were,
even though he was in the Air Force, he loved it.

Speaker 4 (01:55:37):
And our neighbor was a marine. I had a cousin
was a marine, and uh, well.

Speaker 25 (01:55:41):
You know, long story short, my dad passed away when
I was very young, and I talk about that in
the book with some strange things happened during that time.
And then when I turned seventeen, I joined the Marine Corps.
That's amazing to get my mom to sign off. And
there's a story about that there too, because at first
she said, she said, no, Marines are crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:56:03):
You're never going to the Marine Corps.

Speaker 1 (01:56:06):
That's great. Now I have to ask you. You you
mentioned you were shot at, And of course, if you're
in combat in a helicopter, I've always wondered because to me,
that would be a pants soiling experience because you're in
this this obviously visible aircraft overhead. And since we live
in times with modern warfare and heat seeking rockets and

(01:56:29):
shoulder fired missiles and things like that, how do you
cope with that situation? And what do you do to
avoid getting hit?

Speaker 4 (01:56:39):
Well, you just flaw your tactics. And it's interesting.

Speaker 25 (01:56:44):
And I'll say this for myself and most of the
cover plots I've talked to, No one's worried about themself
getting shot down. You're worried about your women getting shot
down or the guys.

Speaker 4 (01:56:53):
On the ground. And that's the stress.

Speaker 25 (01:56:56):
And I remember we used to we used to escort
trucks and you're driving, you know, you're flying cobras overhead
and you're escorting trucks and one time a truck hit
an ID and blew up. The feeling of that is
insurmountable because you're helpless. And so one day, and we
talk about this in the book, a truck hits an

(01:57:17):
I d and we find a guy that we call
him the trigger man, and we find him and I'm
rolling in to shoot him, and I can see him
playing this day from a code boar about three hundred feet.
He surrounds himself with the women and children literally, so
we don't shoot. That was a tough day, and we
talk a little bit. It's called uh, it's called gunfighter

(01:57:38):
Village in the book.

Speaker 4 (01:57:40):
That is uh.

Speaker 25 (01:57:41):
You know, if I talked the Marines that were with
me on that day, we still get stressed out about it.
But but we got everybody out. Uh nobody, Well I
shouldn't say that. Nobody on our side. There's two sides
of this river. Nobody on our side of the river
got killed. But in the other side, or army brothers,

(01:58:02):
they took a beaten and lost lost some soldiers pretty
pretty terribly.

Speaker 1 (01:58:06):
Oh it's a shame, and you got to live with
that the rest of your life. Now I hear I'm
reading that you mentioned a family destroyed by tragedies as
well as disillusionment, disillusionment by the institution. Can you put
a little flesh on the bones of that without revealing
too much. It's in the book because I know my
listen is going to just eat this up.

Speaker 4 (01:58:29):
Well, so you know, think I'm eleven years old. My
dad dies. Right the following year, our house burns down.
Oh my god, not all the way down, but it
burns up so bad.

Speaker 25 (01:58:42):
We had to move That was coming off my mother,
who early on in her life had had a stroke,
a very terrible stroke. So she had a stroke. My
dad died, house burns up, we got to move out,
and then my mother ultimate. We end up moving into
a great house. We end up losing that house because

(01:59:04):
she she couldn't afford it. So a bunch of tragedy there,
and you know, some stuff growing up that we learned.
And then you know, I love the Marine Corps. I
love the Marine Corps. When you read the book, people
will understand exactly what I'm talking about. There are some
things that happen within our beautiful corps that are not great.
And like when I joined the Marine Corps when I

(01:59:27):
was seventeen. I was going to be a marine recon.
That's what I was promised. And when I'm at boot
camp and I talk about this in the book, they
call out done supply and they said, well hold on,
hold on, there's a mistake. And my start and instructor
he looked at me in the eyes a great great
Svandi goes, your recruiter lied to you, and and.

Speaker 3 (01:59:48):
He did, he did.

Speaker 4 (01:59:51):
I came back. I went to see him. He goes,
I lied to you. You're a marine who cares. And
he was right. And so that's the weird thing. But
I love the Marine Corps. You know.

Speaker 25 (02:00:00):
It's like I won't allow anyone that's not a marine
to talk bad about the Marine Corps. But the Marines
know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (02:00:08):
We are we are a cult, and we are a tribe.

Speaker 25 (02:00:12):
But not everybody in the tribe is as perfect if
you will, and I'm not perfect, we all all of us.
I don't know a single marine that hasn't made a
mistake to where they could have been, you know, their
career could have ended. I don't know one, including some
of my friends that have risen to very high general
officer ranks. Every one of us have made a mistake
that we could have been fired relieved.

Speaker 1 (02:00:33):
You know, you just never know, And I guess from
what I've talked. I've talked to many, many folks who've
served or actually currently served, and I have a lot
of listeners in my audience who are part of the
broader military family, if I can characterize it that way.
And one of the things that's come through regularly is
that after being discharged from the military, you're going to

(02:00:55):
civilian life. And one of the problems that retired military
face they missed the camaraderie. It sounds me like you
thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie of the Marines. And how did
you adjust to post military life in the absence of,
you know, your brothers, if I may put it that way.

Speaker 4 (02:01:12):
Well, that's a great question.

Speaker 25 (02:01:14):
So I opened a company with two other retired Marines,
and we support Davy, Marine Corps, Army Air Force all
over the world.

Speaker 4 (02:01:21):
That's how I like cope with it.

Speaker 25 (02:01:24):
But yeah, so I get to spend some time with Marines,
not every week, but definitely a couple of times a month.
And I will tell you this, here's the big difference
when you transition in for any veterans out there, you
probably will agree.

Speaker 4 (02:01:39):
Anyone getting ready to.

Speaker 25 (02:01:40):
Retire or get out think about this is that you know,
when you're a sergeant in the Marine Corps or a
colonel in the Marine Corps and you tell us a
bordinate to do something.

Speaker 4 (02:01:50):
They're gonna do it. Period.

Speaker 25 (02:01:53):
They may blow up a truck to get it done.
They may, you know, whatever it takes, we'll get it done.
It's not necessarily always that way in the civilian world.

Speaker 26 (02:02:05):
Really, yeah, right, oh, if it were only that way,
if it were only that way, you know, it's like,
you know, I'll ask somebody to do something right, which
is a big difference.

Speaker 4 (02:02:21):
Right in the Marine Corps. You don't ask.

Speaker 25 (02:02:23):
You tell, hey, devil dog, I need you to go
take care of this, and they do it. And one
of the things I talk about that in the book,
And I asked the Marine lieutenant to go blow something
up one day and he's sure as heck, did it.

Speaker 4 (02:02:36):
Not the way I was thinking he was gonna do it,
but he did it.

Speaker 25 (02:02:39):
And I it's funny because I talk about that. I
did a brief one day to a one hundred and
sixty north from Grumman executives on how military leadership applies
in the civilian world. And what's interesting about that is
what you know, in the civilian world, you may this

(02:03:00):
phrase do whatever it takes, right, you do never never
want to tell a marine that if you tell a
marine do whatever it takes, they will do whatever it takes.

Speaker 1 (02:03:13):
So you gotta define parameters.

Speaker 25 (02:03:16):
You got to put some forevers on it, because you know,
and I look back when I was a young Marine
lance corporal that was carte blanche, do whatever it takes,
devil dog. I'd be like, yes, sir, I get a
big happy smile on my face, and I'd go blow
up the world to get something done. And I tell
you what, those my brothers and sisters that are still
in we'll do that. They they chomp at the bit

(02:03:39):
when you say do whatever it takes.

Speaker 1 (02:03:41):
That's great, well, and that's what creates the sort of
the out of the box thinking that military members of
the military are known for. That's why I think that's
one of the reasons why they're fully appreciated and recognized
by many employers as great employees. They take charge, they
figure things out, and they do what they're told. You know,
maybe within some defined parameters out here in the civilian world.

(02:04:04):
But they're great at getting things.

Speaker 4 (02:04:06):
Done well they are.

Speaker 25 (02:04:09):
And the other thing that is beneficial is that I
was a Marine Cobra pilot. My first job and my
squadron as a lieutenant was the legal officer. I have
no legal background, but my job was to advise my
commander on legal issues in our squadron. As a brand
new first lieutenant cover pilot. One of my next jobs

(02:04:31):
was ordnance officer. I had to learn about all the
not I knew all the ordinance on the aircraft. I
had to learn and be with my Marines and they
showed me how to load it and all the rules
and regulations. And then you know, that's so whatever job
you get, it doesn't matter. The CEO says, hey, you
are now the logistics officer.

Speaker 4 (02:04:52):
That's what you go do. And so it makes military men.

Speaker 25 (02:04:56):
And women very, very diverse, and they I have to
learn quickly how to be an expert.

Speaker 1 (02:05:04):

R E I T B A r T dot com
Book Market. Like I always say, we start out this

(02:06:42):
segment book market, you'd be glad you did, because you
don't want to live in an echo chamber. You're going
to get some really good reporting and some reporting that's
well done and isn't tainted with the left wing liberal bias.
Like it's terrible out there. We're all gonna die. Joining
us to talk about that. John Carneie return of On Carnegie,
bright Bart News finance and economics editor as well as

(02:07:03):
co author of the Breitbart Business Digest. John, Welcome back
to the fifty five Carcene Morning Show. It's a pleasure
to have you back on.

Speaker 7 (02:07:10):
Yeah, thanks for having me.

Speaker 16 (02:07:11):
And we are all going to die.

Speaker 1 (02:07:14):
Just not yet, right, It's death and taxes, right, John, that's.

Speaker 7 (02:07:21):
Right, you know, well, but maybe a little less taxes
and you know, maybe we'll get to live a little bit.

Speaker 4 (02:07:26):
Longer we can.

Speaker 1 (02:07:27):
Let's hope for that. But you know, as I we
talk quite a bit about the echo chamber, and many
people live in their own echo chamber, I think notably politicians.
We talk about the DC swamp, and something happens to
people when they get elected and move off to Washington,
d C. Their collective psyche is somehow removed somewhat from reality.
But in this modern age where we can pick and
choose which news outlets we want to get our news from,

(02:07:50):
some people choose to dwell on the left leaning sites
and never leave them. Some people choose to dwell on
the right leaning sites and never leave them. And you
truly get a completely different perspective depending on what you're
reading and where you're reading it. And so generally speaking,
our topic today is the economy, good or bad. Now,

(02:08:10):
I just want ahead to pull up gasbuddy dot com
and I'm pleased to see that the average price of
regular gas, at least in my neighborhood is now down
to two dollars and seventy nine cents, and it wasn't
that long ago that I was paying north of three,
if not even four dollars, And I'm sure you remember that,
and maybe even worse where you live, John, But that's
a great one. That's something that we all have to

(02:08:32):
deal and cope with, and that's a sign that the
economy is doing better. At least that price has come down.
And I know the price of eggs has come down
because I read about it at Breitbart, down sixty one
percent since Trump took office. We don't have runaway inflation anymore.
I think the report was that core inflation is the
lowest in four years. All of this sounds like positive news, John.

Speaker 7 (02:08:54):
It is positive news. This is we just went through
the lowest Memorial Day weekend gas prices other than not
counting twenty twenty when we were locked down and people
weren't really traveling much, but in decades it was. And
gas prices probably this summer are going to average around

(02:09:16):
three dollars a gallon where you are. It's already cheaper
than that. It's going to get cheaper than that. I mean,
it's been a while since some of us saw a
two at the beginning of the gap price, which is
you know, quite thrilling and frankly good for the economy
because remember, every dollar that we're not pumping into our
gas tank is a dollar that you could spend taking

(02:09:38):
your family out to dinner, going on vacation, but you know,
spending on back to school clothes. So it actually acts
as a tax cut for the economy. People have more
money in their pockets or to save. Frankly, you know,
they're not just spending it to get to work to
drive their cars. So this is a really good thing

(02:09:58):
for the economy. And what we're seeing throughout the economic
numbers is that the economy is actually doing quite well.
The Atlanta Fed's GDP now estimate, which is you know,
it changes a lot over the course of a quarter,
but it tries to look at the most recent economic
data and says, if this is how if the economy

(02:10:19):
looks exactly how it does right now through the rest
of the quarter, what would that mean. It has us
growing at three point eight percent. Now, I don't think
we're going to grow at three point eight percent in
this April through June period, but we are growing pretty
fast and the economy is doing very well, which again

(02:10:41):
you wouldn't know looking at a lot of the headlines
elsewhere because there is a lot of doom and gloom
out there, but I don't and that has depressed consumer sentiment.
But I don't think that'll last because, as I've said
a number of times, you can't really fool people about
the economy because they see it in their paychecks, they
see it in their neighbors. They know when people have jobs.

(02:11:02):
So the truth will out when it comes to the economy.

Speaker 1 (02:11:04):
So let me ask you in this fashion, is the
gloom and doom reporting that I see regularly because for
this job, John, I got to look at everything. I
look at left wing sites, I look at right wing sites,
I look at everything in the middle, so I kind
of get a clear picture of where the bad news
is coming from. Is this a phenomenon of like Trump

(02:11:24):
derangement syndrome? We cannot say a positive thing because Donald
Trump might get credit for it.

Speaker 7 (02:11:31):
It is what's really funny. So I read everything there
is that comes out about the economy because that's my job,
and I can see where the way this manifests itself
is that when there is good news, it is spun
in the worst way. Yes, when we got good news

(02:11:51):
on inflation. There were headlines that said inflation is low,
but that probably won't last for law right. In other words,
you know, they ignore the actual good data and try
to lead with the scary prediction. It doesn't really make sense,
but it's definitely out there, this pushing the gloom narrative.

Speaker 1 (02:12:10):
Yeah, and you know it's funny because I have a
financial planner on the program every week to talk about
you know, financial planning and you know the things that
impact our long term outlooks. And you know, you're always
pointing out, yeah, it's this way now, but it will change.
The markets go up, the markets go down. That's inevitable.
So enjoy it while it lasts, because yes, the inflation

(02:12:30):
will change in one direction or another. It may very
well get better to leave that part out, you know, it's.

Speaker 7 (02:12:38):
Yes, And look, I think that there probably will be
some prices. I've said this before. Tariffs will affect some prices.
It'll push some prices up, but it will most likely
result in other prices being lower. So it won't result
in the kind of inflation that we just lived through,

(02:13:00):
which was month after month all prices more or less
going up. We won't see that this time. We may
see some things that are directly affected by teriffs, those
prices go up. But remember most of the things people
buy in America are services, first of all, not affected
by tariffs, and second are domestically produced goods. Your eggs,

(02:13:23):
for instance, most of your groceries. Yes, avocados, a lot
of them are imported, but a lot of what we
buy is not actually imported, won't be affected by tariffs.
Only some of it will go up in price and
other things will come down, so I don't expect some
sort of big inflation from the tariffs.

Speaker 1 (02:13:42):
Well, and going back to the price of fuel, obviously
the price of diesel also has dropped, and that's what
we pay for in terms of delivering all the goods
and the goods in our country to the supermarkets and elsewhere.
So maybe some of the potential increases from terrafts might
be off said by lower transportation costs, so we won't

(02:14:02):
feel it as badly.

Speaker 4 (02:14:04):
I think that's right.

Speaker 7 (02:14:05):
We'll have lower transportation costs and lower energy costs to
produce things, because as you said, you know, when you
order something online it gets delivered by a truck that
you have to fill that up with guesst. But even
further out in the economy, a lot of things have
to be shipped either by rail or by truck to

(02:14:26):
a factory to be processed into a good that we make,
and so when you bring down the cost of fuel,
it actually does have a ripple effect through the economy
that can actually have a deflationary effect, and I think
we're going to see that counter balancing this inflationary effect.
One of the things that the re election of Donald

(02:14:49):
Trump has done is reassure people that, yes, when we
have Democrats in office, they will probably try to crack
down on possible fuels. But we're not on a one
way track, right. This war against fossil fuels is not inevitable.
It's not just going to happen in one direction. We
can push back and do energy abundance. And I think

(02:15:11):
that's very reassuring to anybody who wants to, for instance,
either go to work in the field of drilling or extracting,
or be a chemical engineer in these fields. Those are
all threatened occupation, yes, much less being an investor in
those fields who wants to invest in something the President
is saying he's going to wipe out in the next

(02:15:33):
ten years.

Speaker 4 (02:15:34):
Nobody.

Speaker 7 (02:15:35):
Instead, now people can feel a little bit more reassured
that we're not going to allow the government to wipe
out oil natural gas.

Speaker 1 (02:15:45):
Well, we've also got cautionary tails out in the world
which are causing people to maybe take some pause over
pursuing this so called green energy production. And we had
the whole issue in Spain and Portugal with the outage
of the power plants that who relied I guess like
seventy five percent on solar. They had a major disruption
because solar is not isn't easily controlled because of the

(02:16:06):
you know, sun like ebbs and flows, but that if
you don't have backup energy production gas coal, nuclear, the
lights are going to go out, and no one likes
that when they're stuck on an elevator, most notably.

Speaker 7 (02:16:20):
Right, So you absolutely, you know it's fine to supplement
oil natural gas with solar panels, you know, water, wind,
that's great, but again those are not reliable. You know,
the weather changes, the climate changes, so you can't count

(02:16:42):
on it to be there when you need it. At
the very least, you need an underlying infrastructure that's going
to based on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future. So
they were trying to push us ahead to a future
that we actually don't have the technology for you we
cannot be reliant solar power, for instance, and we won't be.

(02:17:04):
But the problem is when they were trying so hard
to push this, they were trying to make it so
that people would invest less in fossil fuels. And when
you invest less than fossil fuels, you're extracting less of it,
which pushes up the price. So even though they claimed
that they weren't trying to raise the price in gasoline
and oil and natural guess.

Speaker 3 (02:17:26):
Of course they were.

Speaker 7 (02:17:27):
Of course it was very intentional. They wanted it to
be more expensive.

Speaker 1 (02:17:30):
Well, Barack Obama famous quote the price of gas will
necessarily go up, and didn't he predict the future accurately?
I mean, that was the idea, you know, And I
have a t shirt that says, you know, great ideas
do not require force. And this green energy crap is
being is being forced upon an economy that is not
demanding it, either through incentives or just outright bands and

(02:17:54):
refusals to allow drilling or whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:17:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:17:56):
Extraction goes on by the permitting requirements to get a
modular nuclear plant build. All the impediments that are thrown
in the way by government force you to go into
a direction you don't want to go, and that's that's
going to cause problems with the price of gasoline, which
it did intentionally, right, And.

Speaker 7 (02:18:15):
We also said that to follow through on that theme,
they were trying to force the car companies to make
far more electric vehicles. Yeah, the car companies discovered is
that their demand just isn't there. People don't want People
will buy hybrids, but the demand for a pure electric
car is not there. The market has rejected this. It's

(02:18:37):
a niche market. It's fine, there will always be a
small segment, but it doesn't fit the lifestyles of many
people across America. So they were trying that. They were
trying to rate and raise the price of extraction. Basically
banned pipelines. Yeah, if you can't have pipelines, you can't
get oil to a refinery. There's no point in even

(02:18:57):
taking it out of the ground. It's almost impossible to
build a new refinery. Fortunately, there was recently last week
a new Supreme Court decision that actually may be pairing
back some of the environmentalist interference exactly in the US
and that could be very helpful.

Speaker 1 (02:19:15):
It is you don't have to look at the downstream
changes at what others downstream will do in connection with
whatever project is being as an environmental review.

Speaker 7 (02:19:25):
I believe that was I don't even like to call
it downstream changes. It was really imaginary changes. Somebody could
come up with some way that this could be the
pollution in the future. You couldn't build it, right, so
you wanted literally, in the case that was settled by
the court decided by the court, somebody wanted to build
a railroad, right, and somebody said, well, if you build

(02:19:46):
the railroad there, somebody might drill for oil nearby, because
you'll have a railroad that they could ship the oil on,
and that would cause more And when you burn that oil,
it would put carbon in the air, which may cause
global climate change, which therefore kid I mean.

Speaker 3 (02:20:00):
And then then you have to do it.

Speaker 1 (02:20:01):
You have to do the environment You have to do
an environmental study for a project that hasn't even been
suggested yet. I mean, that's the absurdity of it. And
then that project obviously would yield further downstream environmental studies
for fictitious projects that someone came up within their head.
The idea that we lived in that world up until
the Supreme Court decision came out just boggles my mind, John,

(02:20:23):
it really does.

Speaker 4 (02:20:26):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:20:26):
And one of the most amazing things is that decision
was nearly unanimous. It was just because one of the
judges didn't participate in it ato, so even the liberal
judges agreed that it had gone way too far. And
to me, it's actually kind of amazing that we weren't
having a bigger discussion about this. Congress actually should have
acted even earlier. They should have been rekealing this law

(02:20:51):
because it was crazy that it took the courts to
say we shouldn't have this.

Speaker 1 (02:20:55):
How many topics could we say that prior sentence? Congress
should have How many topics could we talk about Congress
should have acted?

Keep up the great work, my friend. I'll look forward

Speaker 4 (02:21:19):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (02:21:20):
Always a pleasure. It's a twenty right now at fifty
five krc DE talk station, and I get to mention
plumb type plumbing. It's always plumbing done right. They are
outstanding plumbers. They know this, They've done projects at my home.
They're always a well oiled machine and no service fee,
a free estimate Better Business Bureau rating of A plus.
Why because they'd have great customer service and the price

(02:21:41):
is always right and they know you deserve better and
deliver on that. Get a tankless water here the Tri
State's number one tankless installer that's plumb tight, Save save money,
save a lot of space, size of it like a
suitcase hanging on the wall, Get rid of that giant tank,
and have unlimited hot water. Some listener mentioned to me
he has four daughters, and he said, yeah, I got

(02:22:02):
to get one of those tankles. He said, we're always
running out of hot water. Last longer than tanks two
ten to fifteen years for traditional tank. These tankless last
north of twenty years. So you got all kinds of
reasons to call plump type plumbing for a tankless water heater.
They'll also fix your some pump. They will repair your
sewer line without having to dig. That's right. Trenchless sewer

Davis Deep dive coming up to the next segment. Of course,
we'll be talking about Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine really pulling
off a major coup with that drone attack. I'm still
quite impressed by that. We'll see if Daniel David thinks
it's going to change the dynamic of the war assault
Wall Street Journal article suggesting the Ukraine can win. Really

(02:24:02):
don't think he's going to draw the same conclusion. But
congratulations of Hyde Park. It's going to be on the ballot.
They got all the signatures they need and then some.
And Cincinnati Inquiry interviewed some of the council members asking them,
are you just going to go ahead and take away
the zoning change that you allowed to have these well
connected developers build this monstrosity in Hyde Park and withdraw

(02:24:26):
the zoning ordinance So it looks like no. Jeff Camberdon
Council in Camberton said, I expected to be on the ballot.
Jemish Vice Mayor Jahn Michelle Leman Kearney said that she
thinks that will be insulting to the people of Cincinnati
who gathered all this signature. At least that's the impression
I got from her statement. That will be a real
slap in the face to the people of Cincinnati. That's

(02:24:46):
what the system is for, so they organized, they gathered
all those signatures. That's phenomenal work. And she's one of
the no's on the zoning change, that's for her part.
Councilmember Mika Owens had this to say, and I have
no idea what it means. We are leaving all options
open during tough decisions. I have centered myself in my values.

(02:25:08):
The Hyde Park development required me to do it critically,
centering values around accessible housing for all, support for small business,
and more spaces for the people of our city to
gather in community. They building a giant hotel there. Anyway

(02:25:30):
you draw your own conclusion. She was, of course a
yes on the zoning change, So congratulations the Hyde Park
and I hope the voters back you up because this
impacts all neighborhoods in some way, shape or form. Coming
up the Deep Dive with Daniel Davis. Hope you can
stick around fifty five KRC the talk station the Simply
Money Minute twenty nine to fifty five KRC DE Talk

(02:25:52):
Station Tuesday. At this time we always do the Deep
Dive with retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, talk military strategy.
You talk about Ukraine and Russia. Nothing to talk about today,
is there, Daniel, Welcome back, my friend. Yeah, so little
has been having it up. There is just We're gonna
have to work hard, but I bet.

Speaker 4 (02:26:09):
We can do it.

Speaker 1 (02:26:09):
I bet we can. You know, the we obviously are
going to be talking about this. This surprising and what
I perceived to be phenomenally successful drone attack. The parallel
I've drawn, and I know I'm not the only one
that drew it. It reminded me a lot of the
Israelis blowing up. All the members of Hamas with the
cell phones and the communication devices, well organized, planned in

(02:26:34):
advanced and unbelievably well timed and successful. We had the
same kind of thing. I mean, they from all reports,
they planned this for the last eighteen months. They were
able to secretly shuttle in these drones and these you know,
prepared shelters that with the roofs that popped off on
remote control. The drones launched in close proximity to the targets.

(02:26:56):
And for what I understand is for a couple of
hundred dollar drone multiplied by a large factor, they were
able to do about seven billion dollars in damage the
Russian aircraft. That's pretty darn impressive. But does it mean
that Ukraine will win the war? Headline and the Wall
Street Journal op edps by Bernard Henry Levy drone attack

(02:27:17):
shows why Ukraine will win this war. And something suggests
to me that you're not going to agree with mister
Levy on that one.

Speaker 27 (02:27:26):
Oh man, No, I definitely hadn't seen that one. We'll
definitely go look forward after we get off the air here. Yeah,
but that is that is sheer fantasy. But let's let's
first of all focus on what happened, because you said
and by all accounts, and I'm certainly in agreement, this
was a spectacularly executed operation on its own right, because
it was done for such a long period of time,

(02:27:48):
it was done with the cooperation of many at least soapar.
It's been reported actual Russian citizens as well, people they recruited,
et cetera, got to turn and to help Russia inside
knowing what they were doing, uh, and then to keep
it all secret that long, and.

Speaker 1 (02:28:05):
Then to have it on multiple locations.

Speaker 27 (02:28:06):
Hence the name spider web because it was all these
different links to get together, and then to have the sophistication,
the technological savvy to to be able to get through
any kind of attempt to block signals, for example from
the Russian side, to have it without being intercepted so
that Russia didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 1 (02:28:23):
All that together was just really really successful.

Speaker 27 (02:28:27):
But then we have to get to the to the
consequence of it, and other than being a real uh,
you know, bloody eye or black eye for for Putin,
it's not going to have any impact on the front
line and the war that's going on were by the
way overnight, Russia also continues to have significant progress going

(02:28:49):
forward in the Sumi region. No one wants to talk
about that on the Ukraine side because they want to
bask in the glory of this. But the bottom line
is what has this gain you? And so far I've
seen that it has. It has angered the Russian side,
It has made more of the senior people in the Kremlin.
And by the way, there's lots of reports that there
is a lot of debate within the upper echelon of

(02:29:10):
the Russian Kremlin and their leadership that they want to
respond much much stronger than Putin does.

Speaker 1 (02:29:17):
Putin still apparently is looking for some kind of you know, non.

Speaker 27 (02:29:22):
Provocative, it's not going to escalate better phrase, it's not
going to escalate it and get the NATO drawn in.

Speaker 1 (02:29:28):
But it's also strong enough.

Speaker 27 (02:29:29):
And apparently they haven't come to a conclusion because they
haven't said almost anything about it. But yeah, it ain't
gonna win the war for the Ukraine side, no matter
what anybody wants.

Speaker 1 (02:29:37):
Yeah, I actually fully expected an almost immediate retaliation. I
don't know if you read the same thing I've read
where you get your sources, but they had a massed
about fifty thousand additional troops on the border there, the
Russians did. I figured that they would just be unleashed
into Ukraine and add to the already established zones that
Russia is controlling right now.

Speaker 27 (02:29:57):
Well, you know what we've seen though, is that Russi
SIA is very strategically minded and patient, and they have
been from the outset, and they have done things that
issue near term setbacks in order to get something big
later on. For example, in the Hiirson area, they willingly
withdrew all their forces across the Dnepa River and surrendered

(02:30:19):
all that territory to the Ukraine side because they calculated
that they couldn't hold it, knowing that it would be
a huge media victory for the other side and they
would get the territory, but it would preserve combat power
for later on, and it played out that way. Is
that helped Russia win the Battle of Back later on.
This place here, those troops have been there already. They're
already part of this northern offensive that Russia has probably

(02:30:40):
already started. So they're not gonna, you know, rush into
a new fight here. It's different than the slow pace
they have because they want to preserve their troops and
maximize the firepower to inflict casualties on the Ukraine side.
So they're not going to change that. The only thing
that might come is maybe some big expect tacking missile

(02:31:01):
strikes into strategic targets where they haven't hit before. Maybe
in a Russnik missile, you know, something that literally no
one can stop at this point.

Speaker 1 (02:31:10):
But there may not be any of that either.

Speaker 27 (02:31:11):
In fact, one of Putin's former advisors was went on
the air almost immediately on a Western show and said
that he didn't think there would be any because he said, look,
this is like the one hundredth time at Russian airbase
has been attacked in the last two years. It's just
the first time it's had this kind of success. So
it's embarrassment, but it's not going to keep the take
their eye off the ball of what they're doing. Well,

(02:31:33):
that could be how it's going to work out.

Speaker 1 (02:31:35):
The broader implications of the success of this attack kind
of have me worried. First off, I guess we have
to view this through the lens of how this illustrates
the changing dynamic of warfare, much in the same way
usage of drones over the past military conflicts we've been
in since drones have been used sort of reduce the

(02:31:56):
need for manned aircraft. I mean, if you can send
a million dollar drone in with no man in it
and it can successfully complete a bombing operation, that's a
lot better you see your resources than sending in a
multi billion dollar F thirty five that's got a pilot
in it that you got to worry about saving their lives.
So that's one component. But this has me a little

(02:32:16):
more worried from a domestic standpoint. A lot of concerns
about China grabbing up all this land around our military bases.
And I think it will be pretty damn easy in
a country is free and as wide as our country
for them to oh maybe get a whole giant drone
fleet and launch it whenever the hell they damn well please,
like for example, when the lights go out the day
they invade Taiwan. Yeah, I mean, it's not just China.

Speaker 27 (02:32:39):
And by the way, you don't even have to own
any land, as Russia just demonstrated. You just take point
truck and it just nick. Russia is a lot more
restrictive than the US in terms of movement, though it's
actually much more open than people think, and you saw
the results of it there. But of course here you
can literally drive anywhere in our country. And I actually

(02:33:00):
worry not as much about China, though that certainly is
a big one on the front of the list. But
you know, something like we talk about getting into a
conflict with the cartails in Russia. In Mexico, we talked
about sending in the special forces, like there's never going
to be any consequence. But now we see that the
opportunity here is so easy to do in so low cost.

(02:33:21):
I fear that others may see what happened here and
draw obvious conclusions. So I think that it's kind of
like the genies out of the bottle here, and man,
we better be figured out some kind of defense against
this stuff as.

Speaker 1 (02:33:33):
Best we can. Right now. Well, we saw that nutjob
throw a Milotov cocktails, obviously for political reasons he hates
the Jews and wants to kill all of them or
something looney Tunes like that. But also in the context
of comments from the border security folks about the two
million Godaways that we had no interaction. We don't know
who they are, we don't know what they represent. Are

(02:33:55):
they political? Are they perhaps cells that have formed and
are just waiting for the or to launch any particular
given attack. I mean, that's a real problem for our
country in a going forward basis.

Speaker 27 (02:34:06):
Yes, it always That's one of the reasons I've always
been such an advocate, no matter who's in the White House,
that we need to have our secure borders. I've always
said to whatever your immigration policy is, y'all figure that out.
And whatever the Congress and the system of governments or
whatever we agree to, whether everybody likes it or not,
and they definitely won't, it doesn't matter. But whatever the
law is, abide by it and enforce it so that

(02:34:29):
we keep ourselves safe, so that whatever the decisions are,
we don't get anybody in like you're talking now, where
we don't even know who they are. And that's just
an existing and a prevailing vulnerability of our country that we.

Speaker 1 (02:34:40):
Still have to some degree to this day. All right,
and let's turn briefly back to Ukraine for we part
coming today, Daniel Davis. They still have a shortage of
manpower that has not solved. The problem hasn't been solved
in the week since we've talked last week. So that's
the ongoing issue for Ukraine. I mean, successful drone strikes
are not They've got to keep guys on the front

(02:35:01):
lines and they have to have the hardware and equipment
to be able to fight with the remaining people they have.

Speaker 27 (02:35:06):
Well, yeah, and that's why the headline like the one
you sided in the Wall Street Journal is embarrassing and
just humiliating because it doesn't even talk about what's actually
going on the front line, which I mentioned in the
Sumi area.

Speaker 1 (02:35:17):
It's continuing to going forward.

Speaker 27 (02:35:19):
Another point to make on this big strike here is
that the consequence of that also have to be considered.

Speaker 1 (02:35:25):
In Russia.

Speaker 27 (02:35:26):
A lot of them are calling this their pearl harbor moment,
that you know, they got this strike and whatever. And
then there's in the news I saw this morning before
coming on your show is one of the writers in
one of the op eds of a military review in
Russia said, this has been our pearl harbor. Now it's
time for our midway. So they do want some kind
of a big strike in return. And as we've pointed

(02:35:47):
out on your show many times, and you just addressed here,
the man power in balance alone plus all the weapons,
ammunition and everything else, is still irrevocably and decisively on
the Russian side. These formations on the front are going
to continue on no matter what happened five thousand kilometers
from the front.

Speaker 1 (02:36:06):
Any hope of them sitting down. It sounds like every
time we hear that they're gonna sit down and have
some sort of talk to resolve this. It never does
happen or nothing becomes of it. Russia can tell you, you.

Speaker 27 (02:36:17):
Know, Brian, one of the most puzzling and maddening things
about this situation is they had the second face to
face meeting between Russia and Ukraine yesterday and his Denbul
both sides entered by giving positions that were further apart
than they were the previous time that they both knew
the other side would categorically reject. And that's exactly the
way it turned out, because in the bottom line is

(02:36:39):
neither side wants to negotiated settlement. And that sounds odd
because you would think that the Ukraine's side does because
they claim they do. The Russian side they claim they do.
But you see that the Russians is like saying, yeah,
if you agree to all these draconian terms, will stop
fighting today, which means they have to withdraw from the
territories where they still have some troops, you know, de militarization, denoification,

(02:37:03):
all these things they won't do, or we said, we'll
just keep fighting and they Nabenzia. Their Uman Security Council
uh An ambassador specifically said that at the UN Security
Council a couple of days ago. But on the Ukraine side,
you're like, wait a minute, you don't have anything to
gain by this. If the negotiations fail, the offensive will
continue on. And yet they sabotaged this so that there

(02:37:24):
was no way the Russians would agree to it. And
so we have to really ask, and it's an open question,
what is the Ukraine in the Western European side trying
to get done?

Speaker 4 (02:37:32):
Here?

Speaker 1 (02:37:34):
A real quick question, because I know we're out of time.
If let's say, you know, uh, a miracle occurred in
Ukraine said okay, okay, okay, uh, we'll agree to de militarize,
who would preside over who would do the oversight that
would provide sufficient, you know, satisfaction for the Russians that
they did in fact de militarize that a UN function

(02:37:54):
is that an ATO function is a function of the
Russians looking over it. The I guess I'm just curious
to how that would work functionally.

Speaker 27 (02:38:01):
Russia actually has addressed part of that question by saying
it needs to be neutral observers, not NATO, not Russia,
but like the Ossee or even other entities from like
maybe the Global South or something like that. So they
actually have some working level issue on that. But it's
not gonna be US and NATO. It's not gonna be
you know, Russia and Belarus, et cetera. But I mean,

(02:38:24):
I hope we get to the point to where we
have to worry about that, that the fighting stops.

Speaker 1 (02:38:28):
Actually doesn't sound like we're e anywhere near it right now.

Time to ask our experts. D from US installation back
in the fifty five Heresy Morning Show. Welcome back, Steve,
my friend. I want to start off by thanking you.

Speaker 16 (02:40:06):
Oh my pleasure always Brian. Always look forward to talking
with you and your listeners as well.

Speaker 4 (02:40:12):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:40:12):
I'm thanking you on behind, not just for showing up,
but for thanking you for I know, we paid for
it as a housewarming gift for my daughter. We're over
visiting them on Sunday and the house was just amazingly comfortable,
nice and cool, and uh, Eric, her fiance said, we
don't have the air conditioning on, and I said really,
he said, we only turned the We only use the

(02:40:34):
air conditioning one time so far, and the only reason
they ever they turned it on that time was just
to see if it worked. So the foam is working
a great for them. No energy bill for the HVAC
for my daughter and her fiance, you know.

Speaker 16 (02:40:51):
And I really never thought about it, Brian, but it's
so true that with these cooler nights, if you know,
you close the house up a bit, whatever that temperature
was at night, it stays right in there with.

Speaker 1 (02:41:03):
That phone, it does.

Speaker 16 (02:41:05):
And I would imagine you wouldn't have to cool your
home and these type of temperature.

Speaker 1 (02:41:09):
So they don't know how much money a month they're
saving with their air conditioning because they haven't had to
run it. But whatever it is, whatever they would have
had to pay, that's their savings. And it's thanks to
USA's premium phone. And speaking of energy bills, look, everybody's
got their energy bill going up. I saw an article
today con Edison, which services four million customers, talking about

(02:41:30):
bill's skyrocketing. They get this capacity charge average customers at
least going up ten percent going forward to maybe even more.
And I know Duke's got their rates have gone up.
I mean this is where the concept of that return
on investment comes in. We can all invest in the
market only to see it disappear from time to time,
and we get all worried. But you know, you're saving

(02:41:51):
money guaranteed every month if you're using your HVAC system,
and the savings is substantial, so that return on investment
never goes away.

Speaker 16 (02:42:01):
I couldn't stand any better myself, Brian, Now I did
here or not articles news stations talking about thirty percent
increase in the trist state area. So now you're getting
into some serious, serious increases here, and really it becomes
not affordable. So you really should try. And you know,

(02:42:23):
we got the ninety nine dollars a month in right
three plan. I mean, geez, at thirty percent increases, I've
got to be able to save every bit of that
ninety nine considering.

Speaker 4 (02:42:35):
These rate increases.

Speaker 1 (02:42:37):
And there's that's the point right there. And I got
a guy mark out in a Facebook instant messages he said,
I can attest to that too, So it's working out
well for him. Everybody's everybody's happy with it. You know,
I've never had a listener do anything but say, gosh,
darn it. You know, it always works. It's either a
compliment about that. I'm glad I called Steve outhead and
phone my home. It's much more comfortable. I did save

(02:42:59):
a heap on my energy you bill, and it's usually
followed by I wish I had done it sooner.

Speaker 7 (02:43:07):
Why you do hear that a lot?

Speaker 16 (02:43:08):
Because you know, being around forty years, you know, we
get the people that wait, wait, wait, wait. Then it
gets to the point where they either see me too
much or they hear me on the radio to it
and say, oh, let's call the guy out.

Speaker 4 (02:43:21):
Yeah, what a.

Speaker 16 (02:43:22):
Sensible, common sense investment.

Speaker 1 (02:43:24):
It's just that simple.

Speaker 16 (02:43:26):
There's no other appreciative forever too.

Speaker 4 (02:43:30):
This is the thing with this phone.

Speaker 16 (02:43:32):
We're not talking settling, we're not talking going anywhere. It's
staying right put, it's phoned in place, and at once
you're paid, it just keeps on giving.

Speaker 1 (02:43:44):
Yeah, And for those who are concerned here the phone
is fixed in the walls, but you can still run
wiring through it, like if you had an outlet installed
or so much to wiring work done down the road,
you can. It actually does allow for that, so there
is some give in there for future projects. So that's
not an issue. And you know, we talked about under
insulated and uninsulated, so modern homes, I guess don't necessarily

(02:44:08):
need it because modern insulation has a much higher R value.
My daughter's houses and illustration had R twelve I think,
and it was old because it was late seventies built.
They were under insulated, so the foam went in with that.
And as I mentioned over the years, homes built before
the mid seventies have nothing, so there's empty space and
they're fill it with the highest our value foam on
the market, and that's what you sell, and it's made

(02:44:30):
right here in Ohio. But how do you determine if
someone is under insulated? And I know you'll do that
for free with a free inspection of free quote.

Speaker 24 (02:44:39):
Sure, we have many.

Speaker 20 (02:44:40):
Ways to do things.

Speaker 16 (02:44:40):
Once you call us out there, we'll do our.

Speaker 7 (02:44:42):
General inspections and determine.

Speaker 4 (02:44:45):
Where your needs are.

Speaker 16 (02:44:46):
But the reality is anymore I'd say probably sixty seventy
percent of my homes that we are insulating have some
type of fiberglass in them. Malls, you know, prior to
the eighties. You know, we're getting the eighties, the nineties,
and oddly enough, we're getting people that just don't feel

(02:45:08):
in the year two thousand bills where they didn't feel
that it was done properly for them by the builders.

Speaker 3 (02:45:15):
Oh yeah, they're they're.

Speaker 16 (02:45:16):
Wanting me to get in there and squeeze somewhere, squeeze
the fom in there, and try and tighten and tighten
the thing up, and quite honestly, we we get good results.
So it just goes to show how good this fall
and how efficient of filling the gaps and cracks, and
with a tremendously high our value, even even a half

(02:45:39):
fill the wall with fall mixed with the other. Oh
my god, what a difference that.

Speaker 14 (02:45:43):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:45:44):
That's the point that I never thought of, because you know,
I've always joke about our house the builders special, and
we've had to make a lot of changes over the
years to get it up to the Thomas standards. But
I I you know, if that insulation that was put
on the wall by the builder isn't going all the
way up to the roofline, for example, You're gonna have
some cold air seeping in there. So that's an excellent point.

(02:46:05):
Plus then there's that critter thing because if you put
the foam in the walls, the critters can't get in,
so you know, the mice don't eat it. The mice
and whatever other critters are out in the world can't
get through it. So you just improved your home from
that way too. Just a minor extra benefit from the phone.

Speaker 4 (02:46:24):
Well, I'll tell you.

Speaker 16 (02:46:25):
One other thing that a lot of people don't equate
to it. It makes your home a lot more healthier
to insulate it because you're filling. You know, none of
the dust is.

Speaker 18 (02:46:36):
Floating through the walls, the cracks, the gaps.

Speaker 16 (02:46:40):
Through the cam lights. You know, you got all that
dust and all them all whatever gets in there, it's
gonna have piltray, you know. I know people they say, hey,
we got dusts.

Speaker 7 (02:46:50):
Every day, we got a dust.

Speaker 16 (02:46:52):
Well, hey, let me fold them walls and you're not
gonna have that problem anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:46:57):

of reasons. Steve, It's always good, great having you on
