Speaker 1 (00:04):
Five oh five fifty five KRC the talk station Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Some sense.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Will vacation and that's the way.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
The news goes. It is indeed the way the news goes,
whether you like it or not. I've got no control
over it, which is true. And good morning, everybody. Appreciate
you tuning into fifty five KRC Morning Show. You can
reach me if you want to call in and talk
about something. I'm kind of looking at the uh, the
the the general parameters of this agreement we've reached with
the Iranians not really knowing a whole lot about it,

(00:49):
and constantly reminded reviewing all of the articles involved in
this negotiation and this so called signed agreement, the details
have not yet been really so I'm just like, all right, anyway,
we'll get to that shortly U five three seven four
nine fifty five eight hundred and eighty two three talk
pound five fifteen hundred eighteen and defence real quickly. Though

(01:10):
it has resulted, regardless of whatever it means or doesn't mean,
some are calling the Iranians the victors in this some
I think that's the only way you can really come
out on it. But if you're looking for a lower
price of gas, it's already starting to show up. I
just checked the four five one four to zero area code,
which is my general neighborhood out in the Loveland Simms
Township area. If you go to the Meyer or the Thorntons,

(01:32):
you can get gas for three dollars and nineteen cents
a gallon according to the gas Buddy. Anyway, the Kruger's
got it for three fifty three. Fifty three sixty seems
to about to be about the average, and that's obviously
a lot lower, although a lot of areas and a
lot of stations are still showing it right at about
four bucks. So if I had based on all the
zip codes I read in the general Tri State area
northern Kentucky, I checked Covington out. I think Covington's at

(01:57):
three seventy five. Lot of places at right at three
ninety nine, a little bit over four bucks. So you know,
there's some deals to be had out there, but there's
some relief, and it seems to me that, you know,
in my final analysis boiling everything down, Donald Trump wanted
to get any deal he could get in order to
resolve this thing so we could get lower gas prices
before November. The question is will that help? I can

(02:20):
only pray that it does. I mean, if that's how
short sighted we all are, and the price of gasoline
is the definitive point on whether or not you vote
R or D. I think we're in a sorry state
of affairs. That's the only way I can resolve that
in my mind. Okay, I keep going back to this
whole point. You're going to vote for for the bat

(02:41):
crap insanity of the Democrat Party because you're paying about
twenty five, thirty five, maybe fifty cents even a buck
more gallon for a short period of time, and you
gotta remember under But you know, it's kind of funny. Hackeen.
Jeffrey's got his lunch dit to him the other day.
But he was talking on oh some morning show, or

(03:02):
rather a Good Day New York who was when he's
being interviewed by someone named Zanna Sado and Jesus, gas
prices were up under Obama and Biden too, right, didn't
we have gas prices over five bucks? The answer is yes,
you did. Gas Prices reached their highest recorded national average
at five dollars and two cents per gallon under Joe Biden.

(03:24):
So we survived that, and it came down. It came
down a lot. I mean, hell, people were paying less
than three bucks a gallon there for a while. Boy
wasn't that glorious? And it felt like we rolled back
the clock a decade. Gas prices under Trump peaked last
month at over four dollars and fifty cents per gallon
by all reporting. It may have paid more than that,
but it's you know, it's temporary. What you get if

(03:45):
you're voting for the Democrats is permanence. You're never going
to get a permanent low price of gas under apparently
any administrations. It's one of the reasons we had the
Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It's there as an emergency apply for
major disruptions caused by Check one war, natural disasters, and
severe shortages. And I think we've got the severe shortage

(04:06):
part pretty much ironed out, considering we've now decided to
tap into our own resources and not pursuing windmills and
solar panels. We all still need gas, that's right. War
that's obviously a possibility, you know, I know Donald Trump
started this one. It's the progative of the commander in
chief to do it, like it, hate it. Thought it

(04:27):
was going to work out, turned out. Maybe it didn't
turn out to your your expectations. Maybe you think there
was some strategic benefit we gained from in this exercise.
And let's face it, it's not over. I mean, we're
just now entering into a negotiation period. The only thing
that apparently has been resolved here is that we have
entered into a cease fire with the Iranians. And I'm

(04:48):
kind of laughing about that, because how long were we
in a so called cease fire during which missiles are
being chucked back and forth by both parties? Right A
long time. I've been joking about that since the ceasefire
was first declared. So you've got a written piece of
paper now that we haven't seen the terms of which
suggests that that there's a ceasefire, the straight of horror
moves will be open, says Trump. The Iranians still talking

(05:09):
about charging tolls. Yeah, but they don't call it tolls.
It's fees or something. Yeah, okay, or well, thank you
very much. Just label it something else and then it's
no longer a toll, but it's still money being paid
by shipping companies to the Iranians Rudians apparently going to
get their economy open back up too, because part of

(05:30):
this agreement to open the Straight of Horror Moves is, yes,
we lift the blockade on their ports. Welcome to economic activity.
You know, the Straight of Hormor Moves being open benefits
the Irradians too. Let's not lose sight of that. I know,
the whole world's pissed off. And of course we've struck.
We've dealt with some inflationary realities of the straight being closed.
That's a fact. This is the pain that goes along

(05:51):
with the war. And hopefully were all hoping in the
outset that maybe we would get regime change in Irana,
the world being much much much much better place for it.
I guess we tried swinging a miss anyway. So and
I will even double down on something else I've mentioned

(06:12):
a thousand million times, and the high gas prices. It
was the desired result of this whole green thing that
we have gone through that now no one even talks
about anymore. Yeah, right, remember al Gore, Remember Barack Obama,
the price of gas league will necessarily increase. He's letting
you know that their policies going back to my point

(06:32):
about voting for me in November, because gas prices is high.
Their policies were enshrined in law, their carbon offsets, and
there you know the cost of exhaling, and and you
know subsidizing your purchase of an electric vehicle, those of
you who can afford to buy one. Right, all of
that enshrined in law. You can't just walk away from that.

(06:53):
You need a new administration to repeal that kind of thing.
The gas prices will do what the gas prices do
regardless of administration, as long as the markets are open
supply and demand. So we've done a really good job
of increasing supply, and I with the with my I
guess I'm really troubled about the Strategic Petrollum Oil Reserve

(07:13):
because I was critical about Joe Biden doing it for
his political advantage. He lowered, he's released all kinds of
oil from the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve. We are now
at the lowest level we have been, I think since
the thing got filled up in the first place nineteen
eighty three. And why has it been done well? The

(07:34):
Trump administration, like the Biden administration, released the crud in
order to keep the energy costs in check for you,
the American consumer. Now, is it okay that he did it?
When we were I was critical. You can maybe you
weren't personally critical of Joe Biden for doing it, but
I always thought it was for strategic benefit, you know,

(07:54):
will my god, we need to keep that in check
just in case. Well, you know, we have a really
catastrophic event. Biden's argument, Well, you know we had COVID.
Who's to say we don't have another COVID down the road. Well,
right now, the Strategic Petroleum More Reserve only has three
hundred and forty million barrels in it. At its peak,
it had seven hundred million, and the latest drawdown the

(08:15):
third largest on record. So now we're at the lowest
level since eighty three. I don't view that as a
good thing, but it clearly was done to, you know,
soften the blow to you and I. As a consequence
of the shutting down of the Strait of Horror moves.
So the HORM moves straight to be back open. Apparently
by Friday, the boat traffic will keep going back and forth.

(08:36):
The runians, of course, economy will start booming. Our sanctions.
That's a big question mark, swirling question Mark, they got
the negotiate that they got sixty days to do that,
and I think we can argue we should expect an
extension followed by another extension. Anyhow, we'll talk about that
with Daniel Davis. Of course, since it is Tuesday, that

(08:57):
Daniel Davis Deep Dive with retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis
with his analysis of Iran, preceded by the inside scoop
of Breitbart News Today, the return of the International Letter
to Francis Martel, who will also share his take on
the latest from Iran, preceded by at seven thirty Tom Zawastowski,
We the People Convention dot orgs. Tom returns he's going
to be talking about a Higway data centers. It's a

(09:19):
topic that he's been all over, so we'll talk with
him at seven thirty, preceeded by the return of Signal
ninety nine, who's going to give us an earful about
this so called analysis about the police pulling over black
people more than white people. Campaign zero and even one
of the things I saw, and I'll give Fox the
nineteen to Alexis Martin credit for bringing this to my attention.

(09:42):
At the request of the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office
Campaign zero, which is this outside entity that reviewed all
these hundreds of thousands of quote unquote contact cards that
the police were forced to fill out as a consequence
of the collaborative agreement. They're the ones that did at
the outside, but they did that the hest of the
Hamilton County Public Defender's Office. I'm hoping Signal ninety nine

(10:04):
can answer that question, like by what authority can the
Hemlon County Public Defender's Office get some outside empity to
review all this? And what are the Hamlin County Prosecutor's
Office what were they planning on doing with it? I mean,
can you defend a client who's been legitimately pulled over
for some reason like a tail light being broken or
some other traffic offense. If the police are using race

(10:25):
as a reason to pull people over, then there wouldn't
be anything there would there? This is my point. If
you're pulled over and you're issued a citation, right, and
maybe that's the thing that's absent from these contact cards.
Perhaps someone was pulled over but there was no ensuing

(10:46):
citation issued. And if there was no incitation issued, then
why would the Public Defender's Office ever be involved in
it unless the person was going to defend him or
herself in court for the ticket that that person was issued.
So I'm kind of got that spinning around in my head.
Well my head's kind of spin it anyway, but that
just happens anyway. Plenty to talk about with signal ninety nine,

(11:09):
and of course outspoken in terms of her criticism of
well city council, the mayor, the city manager. And guess
what's getting two million dollars in the city budget right
the Farmer Music Center. Screw the roads. I give you

(11:33):
the details on that coming up. That's gonna be a realo.
Maybe we can get her to comment on that and anyway,
she'll be doing in the program at seven oh five again,
feel free to give me a call. I'll be out tomorrow.
Dan Carroll's cover in form me got an event tonight.
I'm gonna be up late. I need sleep in order
to do the show. And you know, even after a
good night's sleep, you can see I can stumble around
doing the show. I'll pep right back after these brief words.
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station by twenty

(11:56):
one one three eight two to three Dog I buy
fifty on eighty and two thousand. Don't forget fifty five
carseea dot com stream the audio directly from the fifty
five carseea dot com web page. Get the iHeartMedia app
wire there so you can listen wherever you happen to be.
Check out Money Money with Brian James, and of course
the Smither event every Monday with Christopher Smithman. And I
appreciate his commentary and his friendship, and I wish he

(12:19):
was on right now to talk about the budget two
million dollars for the Farmer Music Center whichever the thing
was being built. They didn't need the city's money. I
don't know what the hell have to have. Parlvalla was saying,
it was good to get me eight million dollars. Well,
let's make it too. Meanwhile, meanwhile, Countsman Mark Jeffery is
the only one that seems to be a voice of
reason on city council. It's like, dude, what about the

(12:41):
roads currently budget says apparently there's there's enough to repay
seventy lane miles in the current budget. Great, it's supposed
to be one hundred. The target was one hundred. They
don't have enough money. That a thirty million dollar hole
they had to deal with. So I guess thirty lane
miles of roads adding to the existing outside standing list
of lane miles that haven't been addressed over the past

(13:04):
how many years. It's okay, we got another music venue coming.
Let's get to the phones. Jeff, thank you for calling
this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Hey, good morning, Brian. Yeah, speaking of the Farmers Center,
it's gonna be the same size as Riverbend Center. The
only difference is it's going to be a higher elevation.
They had way too many bands complaining about getting flooded
out playing River Bend.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Is that really the problem with Riverbend? Yes, sir, I listen,
that's news to me, and I'm not disagreeing with you.
Maybe that is the reality. But the only time, I
guess I've been to Riverbend quite a few times over
the years. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts in
my life, and I remember a couple of them getting
rained on and yes, laugh at me. But back in
the eighties when Huey Lewis was a thing, we had

(13:56):
a bunch of people that went and it just poured down.
I don't remember the band stopping though, they just kept playing.
I don't remember anything about a flood that kept any
band from playing, So I.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Remember I remember Todd Rudgren, Yeah, playing about Mosquitos.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Mosquitos. Yeah, they're not getting rid of the river, are they, Jeff.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
It'll be the same distance from the river, the higher elevation.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, you got that gorgeous Amphitheater or whatever it is
over in northern Kentucky that the people can go to.
I've seen a couple of bands there that's indoors and
you don't have to worry about flooding there.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
So hey, there's always there's always Ludlow Garage in Clifton.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Amen. That's a comfortable venue too, isn't it Jeff? Yes, sir,
they got the big lounge chaares and you can actually
get a cocktail delivered to your seat at that place,
if I recall correctly. Yes, and the Taft Theater right
of course, Ben Fold's playing tonight.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
You have down there.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yes, Oh, Jeff, you didn't expect to get out on
that road. But thank you for enlightening me. So wait
a minute. The justification then, for a multi million dollar
new music venue is that occasionally flooding prevents music events
from happening at Riverbend. Okay, priorities, folks, priorities. Anyway, rather

(15:24):
than pave the roads in the City of Cincinnati because
of the occasional flooding of River Bend, we need to
build an adjacent massive music venue slightly hired elevation, rather
than pave roads that people use every single damn day
and which usually I would guess in the vast majority

(15:45):
of cases never get flooded out. Does anybody listening to
audience have a road in their neighborhood that is covered
by that is the responsibility of the City of Cincinnati
that has not been paved. Well, thank Councilmember Jefferies for
at least his effort to get it paid. He said,
our roads must be a priority for investment. Cincinnatians are

(16:08):
begging to fix the roads. Close quote council Member Mark Jeffries,
mayor I have to have per of all and the
seven other councilmembers, you know, jam michel lemon Kearney was
the only one that voted against this two million dollars
allocation of Farmer, but she had her designs on some
other project. She wanted to establish a Rise City Fund.

(16:33):
Establish a Rise City Fund. I don't know what that is,
basically for housing and other assistance in the city's most
undeserved neighborhoods. Getting that's a reporting from that's enquire Patrician Newbery.
But see there's add that to the list. We have
a list. I have a list, You have a list,
and seven council members apparently on their list numero uno

(16:53):
at least rather than pay roads, rather than I guess
how housing and other assistants in the city's most undeserved neighborhoods.
Just scratching my head over how much? How many houses
can you build with one point seven million dollars? Yet
go ahead and try to do the math on that
basically nothing. I'm just beside myself. Hey, Joe, twenty five

(17:18):
percent of the registered voters voted, and basically eighty five
to one hundred percent all voted for these chuckleheads. You
know what, I've bet a whole lot of them have
a bad road in their neighborhood of the yard that
they got to drive overall. Well, you know what, here's
the other point, Joe, to mention this to you while
you're driving to see your non flooded concert at the

(17:39):
Farmer Music Center. You can see if you can get
the City of Cincinnati have your car realigned. Five twenty
six fifty five KRC the talk station. Feel free to
give me a call. I'll be back after these brief
words with other local stories.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
Fifty five KARC the Talk Station, Sippy Tuesday five three
seven four nine fifty five hundred eight two three talk
FO five fifty.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
On eighteend phones. Do a lot of local stories here
in front of me. I'm still scratching my head with
a stupid allocation from the City of Cincinnati. Man, somebody
makes sense of that, please, because it was being built anyway.
I'm sorry, Tom, Welcome to the show man. Happy to
hear from you.

Speaker 7 (18:13):
Hey, good morning. Yeah, I know the guy running the JAVA,
running the whole thing out there for I think mess
re construction too. Yeah, it's been well underway for quite
some time. I don't know. I don't know Cincinnati. Is
they wanting to get their name on the side of
the building or something. I don't know, But it doesn't
make sense.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I mean, every all the report, everybody agrees that it
was going to be built even without the City of
Cincinnati's money. Let me read this article. Some council members
like them and like the mayor, called them the money
an investment because they claim it's going to provide admission
and income tax. Well guess what, since it's within the
city of Cincinnati, wouldn't it provide that anyway?

Speaker 7 (18:57):
Duh? Yeah, yeah, sounds it sounds like you need to
find out exactly who's pocket.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Are you suggesting something untoward is going on to I wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
Dare not from this, not from this administration and this council.
Had you come on these guys, they're all these are
They're all always on me, up and up and straightforward
with us.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yes, they can't pay for what they've already bitten off.
They will not maintain an upkeep of some of the
most important infrastructure we've got, like roads, and so they're
going to throw up parent comparatively paltry some two million
dollars which might pave a road or to at this
stupid Well I don't know if the project is stupid,
I'll wait and see, but throw money at it for

(19:42):
no apparent reason out loud. Maybe that does. I think
legitimately calling a question needs to be closer scrutinized what's
going on behind the scenes. Where did this ask originally
of eight million dollars even come from that has been
pared down to two means we're supposed to swallow it
and say, oh, okay, then it's not Hey.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
In political terms, that means we just saved six million dollars.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, we'll call that a victory. They may as well
have said, originally it was thirty million dollars and look
we got it, found it too, all right, whatever, Yay,
we're so lucky.

Speaker 7 (20:16):
Hey, Then I hear you reading the one lady's comes
the one council members' comments saying, I think you're saying undeserved.
Are you trying to say underserved? Or is she really
saying undeserved?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
No, underserved. If I said undeserved, you know, and that
may be leftover chemo. I don't know. I'm looking for
an excuse.

Speaker 7 (20:37):
Just making sure. Well, I have to take some issue
with this because underserved. Now, you drive through drive through
any any city, Okay, I'm out here in Indianapolis, and
my wife and I will go driving through looking for
some restaurant or whatever. You can kind of tell that
you're in a neighborhood where people give a crap about

(20:57):
what their neighborhood looks like. You can you can just see.
I mean we're you know, drive around up here in
Carmel and Fisher, Oh, well up in the north side.
I mean we're car that's that's like, that's.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Like our Indian Hill. Yeah. I was just gonna say
exactly so.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
And I mean, people care, and it's not it's not
that the government of that community is serving them. They
are serving themselves. They they are, they are They give
a crap about what their community looks like. They care
about the parks that they have up there and making
sure things look nice. And then you go in other

(21:32):
areas like, clearly the people here don't give a crap.
And if you're look, if you're going to vote for
these knuckleheads, you call them chuckleheads. We have other terms
we can't use on the air form. If you're going
to vote for these people to stay in power, to
continue to run the city of Cincinnati, event clearly you
do not care about the city of Cincinnati. I don't

(21:54):
know what it is you care about. Maybe it's just yourself.
Maybe you think you're getting something out of this, but
it's not it's not benefiting the city as a whole,
and really, frankly, it's not benefiting you at all, unless
it's just you want to be lazy and just have
stuff given to you being served, you want to be served. No,
the attitude should be what can I do to serve

(22:15):
the community around me? How can we make our community better?
And that that should be the way it thinks underserved, undeserved,
whatever this is. This is bs. You know, figure out
a way where you can serve your community, and you'll
find out the more people that have that attitude, the
better the community will be. And oh and by the way,
the best way you can serve your community is don't

(22:38):
vote Democrat. See you knew?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Oh yeah, all right, But I don't care if the
statement is just exist independent of anything you're talking about, Tom,
I think it's an important message that you convey almost
every single day or in the morning show. And also
welcome the levity that we often engage in when we're talking.
That's why I love hearing from callers, whether we engage
in levity or not get a discussion going, which is

(23:03):
always why I mentioned the fund over five, one, three, seven, four,
nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two
three talk pound five fifty on eight and T funds.
I do have a stack is stupid, although I kind
of feel like we're already treading that water right now,
stick around me right back. This is fifty five KARC
an iHeartRadio station, the detalk station five forty fifty five

(23:23):
KRC Detalk station. Yeah, I'm just stuck with this money
for Farmer Music Center. It is stupid. It is It
qualifies all day long for the stack is stupid. And
you know, I was kind of thinking about Jen Michelle
lemon Kearny, who wanted one point seven million dollars. Rather
than going to Farmer Music Center, she wanted for this
Rise City fund. Apparently there's a big development coming three
hundred apartments with first floor retail space in Burnett Square,

(23:48):
eighty seven million dollar project. Now that sounds me and
I don't know anything about the project, sounds me like
apparently there is already funding for that one, but she
wanted to throw an extra one point seven million dollars
at it. Quote for housing. Of course, that relates to
the Burnett Square project and other assistance in the city's
most underserved Tom neighborhoods. Now do the math on that.

(24:13):
I just Searchzillo dot com for Abindale. There are our
houses available in Abondale on Zilla for fifty thousand dollars.
In our houses in Abvedale that are five hundred thousand dollars.
So there's a big variety of housing in terms of
the range if you're going out to buy. But one
point seven million dollars going to this project. But how

(24:37):
much money is going to housing and how much money
can you sprinkle from whatever remains to provide assistance? And
what does that mean to the most underserved neighborhoods plural?
You got a whole bunch of neighborhoods to choose from.
And I have a question for you. If you know
the answer this, please let me know who ranks neighborhoods

(24:58):
in terms of the most underserved to the most served.
That's a good question. I know the multiple councils from
this one prior all, you know, going full on with
the over the Rhine Urban Hipster project. And because they
wanted to draw people with money and taxable dollars from

(25:21):
paychecks in I don't know what ROI they got on
that one. Anyhow, it's just frustrating, frustrating for me. Anyway, ah,
one of my friend's favorite jokes, and anyway, he's been
going on about Michelle Obama now since Barack Obama Michelle

(25:42):
Obama were president and first Lady. UFC fighter Josh hook
It made what some are describing as a distasteful comment
about former First Lady Michelle Obama during the White House
UFC Freedom to Fifty event, and I'm sorry, I do
not abide on that one. Not I don't get that whatever. Anyway,

(26:07):
postfight remarks, he was grinning and he looked directly in
the television camera and said, and lastly, Michelle Obama is
a man. Am I right, America. My friend's been referring
to here as Big Mike for years and years. I
don't necessarily believe what his perception is or what the

(26:28):
UFC fighter Josh hook Att believes, but there are a
lot of really funny memes out of the world on
that one. Anyway. A German cycling race plunged into chaos
when an elderly woman on a mobility schoolter scooter rode
drove directly into the group of cyclists who were passing by,
and it caused a mass collision. A whole bunch of

(26:48):
competitors flew off their bike, some toppled over. More than
one hundred cyclists across Europe are there for the Starland
Trophy Old Juniors. This happened in Germany on Sunday. Biking
through the countryside, some encountered an unexpected obstacle. This elderly
woman and a scooter. If you can go to New
York Post you can see the video of it. It's unbelievable.

(27:09):
A woman inch the scooter out of the crowd of
spectators right into the pack of cyclists. Some were able
to swerve around her, but one actually got really hit
by hit hit the thing bad smacked into the scooter,
narrowly avoiding the woman who was on it, sent him
somersaulting off his bike. Four of the competitors also fell

(27:30):
down and the crash left them all over the road.
Dutch cyclist Paul Riesmond, the first victim, posted on social
media he was involved in a very nasty looking crash,
but got away with it relatively well, so fortunately he
wasn't too injured. It's just it's a bizarre thing to
behold when you see this person literally pulling out directly
into the lane of traviy.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Don't do this. Twenty eight year old man arrested in
Cape Town International air Airport after South African authorities discovered
one and fifty venomous scorpions hidden inside his suitcases. This
will say the scorpions found concealed him on clothing packed
inside the man's luggage after law enforcement identified and stopped
him as part of a targeted intelligence operation. Suspect taking

(28:14):
to custody after authorities distributed information about him ahead of
his arrival at the airport. Known to authorities, He was
arrested under the Nature and Environmental Ordinance Act for being
in possession of a wild animal. I don't know that
scorpions actually definitionally animals, but you get the idea. The

(28:34):
scorpions were individually packed in plastic wrapping. They didn't reveal
where the shipment was headed or whether the animals were
intended for sale, and which leaves me wondering who in
the hell would want to buy a scorpion in the
first place. Five forty five fifty five KRC the talk station.
More stupid coming up, You're right back, fifty five KRC.
You've got the talk station. It is five point fifty here,

(29:05):
but you about kers detalk station. Make it a happy Tuesday.
He can we have a signal ninety nine talking on
the phone about the well this outside nonprofit group regarding
this insint police department and their alleged racism in traffic stops.
That's at seven oh five. Tom Zawistowski, the Ohio Data
Centers the topic with we the People Conventions Tom Zawis

(29:25):
dawskit seven thirty and of course Bright bart inside scoop
on Iran and Daniel Davis deep dive on Iran as
well in the en o'clock hour. I'm not going to
read the whole article because it goes on a very
very very very long winded narrative with history going back
multiple years. It's a three page article. Fun fact, he
really just read the one paragraph. Do you get the idea?

(29:47):
Homeowner Angela Medina, the mother of a girl that is
the subject matter of this particular article, told police the
girl's father had a drinking problem and he would get
so drunk that he would climb up a ladder to
have sexual intercourse with trees in the yard. Why are
you doing that? We'll never find out you can get

(30:07):
your own research on that one. The evolution to society.
Let's do it number one. Here, two sisters apparently were
arrested rather after allegedly stabbing a restaurant worker because they
got the wrong food order. Just according to police, the
stabbing happened May thirtieth when Brianna and carry Ona Long
got the wrong order at a Detroit restaurant. When they

(30:29):
started arguing with the worker, went behind the counter and
then started assaulting her. Prosecutor said the sisters attempted to
throw hot grease on the worker. One of the sisters
allegedly told the worker quote, I'm going to kill you
close quote well, of course, natural reaction when you get
the wrong food order, right. Rihanna and carry on a
Long allegedly chase the worker in the restaurant while throwing
things at her, among things pots and pans. Worker through

(30:52):
ridings back at the sisters, including mistake here a knife,
the one that was used to stab the worker in
the stomach. Worker got out of the restaurant, ultimately taken
to the local hospital for surgery. Brion and carry on
Along allegedly drove away from the scene, later taken into custody.
In charge with assault with intent to murder, assault with
intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and

(31:14):
assault with a dangerous weapon. At the time, brion Along,
she's going to make a great mother. I'm sure at
nine months pregnant when the alleged stabbing occurred and she
gave birth four days before her arraignment. Of course, during
the arraignment, her defense attorney said, well, uh what, she's

(31:36):
got a baby at home. Brion Along's defense attorney said,
the worker told the sisters that they don't give an
f word about the wrong food order and throw things
at the sisters. Now, I gotta imagine there's a camera
inside this restaurant because they're literally everywhere. So something's going
to tell the tale on that. But even so, brian

(31:57):
Along pointed out to the judge, I'm innocent, but also
put it out again, she has four day old baby
at home. Timings everything. Judge says he was concerned that
a wrong food order led to such an alleged violent assault.
Notable Amen Brianna Long twenty five thousand dollars cash bond.
She's the one with the baby carry on a Long

(32:17):
for her part, a one hundred thousand dollars cash bond. Obviously,
in both cases they were not in front of Judge Silverstein.
Here in Hamilton County, just walk away. That is a
better thing to do. Let's say we go to Lake County, Florida,
where a Claremont man accused of threatening two teenagers with
a meat cleaver and a quote unquote chef style night

(32:39):
why due to frustration by the sound of their go cart,
or to Lake County Sheriff's office, they arrested sixty year
old Richard Carter after respond to a port said he
confronted two teenagers who were working on a go cart
in a neighborhood garage. Rest report points out the teenagers
were revving the engine while turning the carbrettor tuning the
carb writer, and they heard a neighbor cussing them out

(33:02):
their words, they told Deputy's card, became angry, threw a
lawn chair across the driveway, and then yelled at them
to get the F word out of this neighborhood. After
which I guess out came the meat cleaver, na chef
style knife. And finally, another illustration of the evolution of society,
we go to Boston where A fourteen year old is

(33:24):
accused of robbing a children's lemonade stand at gunpoint. Do
what the he ay, A man Joseph Boston police said
about quarter to five on a Wednesday, officers showed up
a radio call for an armed robbery. They got there,
they spoke with the two children who'd been operating in
a lemonade stand, who told them that the suspects made
several passes by the stand before approaching and asking whether

(33:47):
Apple pay would be accepted. Before the victims could respond,
the suspects grabbed the money box. One suspect then pulled
a gun from his waist and ran off. Arrested a
fourteen year old boy charged with two counts of arm
robbery and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm. Wow,

(34:13):
do you know what, Joe? Thank you very much, he
reminded me. Here in the city of Cincinnati, we got
that problem. Lick. Just give him a library card, right, Joe?
Maybe hang out at a rec center. There's a RECs.
Maybe there's no rec centers in Boston. I don't you know,
I think we need an MNGO. We need to fund
an outside organization that will address youth violence, or maybe

(34:36):
just maybe we need to ban guns. Oh, that's right.
It was already unlawful for a fourteen year old to
possess a firearm in the first instance, so maybe that
won't work. Five poin fifty coming up a five fifty
six to fifty five kir city talk station. Feel free
to give me a call plenty to talk about in
the six o'clock it's six and six here fifty five
kir se Detalk station. Brian Thomas here wishing everyone ether

(34:57):
aty Tuesday and inviting phone calls and got something to say.
Three seven, four nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred
and eighty two to three talker pound five fifty on
etat founds over fifty five cars dot com. You can
check out the podcast page and here what Christopher Smithman
had to say the other day inviting you to sign
the petition to give council members, well, oblige I should
more properly rephrase it, oblige council members to chime in

(35:18):
on and approve or approve hiring and firing of police
and fire chiefs by a seven council member majority. All right,
and that seems like a logical thing. And no, it
doesn't do anything to the collaborative agreement. Quit listening to
what Iris Rowley has to say anyhow. So it obviously
is a very common sense way of avoiding the litigation

(35:41):
concerns that we are plagued with. Considering Fire Chief Washington
prior Fire Chief Washington, he's got a lawsuit pending. He's
already been told in court has ruled it he was
wrongfully terminated. So I believe he's just basically sitting around
waiting for a paycheck in the form of a cash
payment settlement. We call that right, Okay, Police Chief d

(36:03):
just teed hers up in maybe a couple of years,
And thank you Christopher Spiderman, who was apparently out there
he was listening to me lament the idiots on city Council,
and I'm sorry, I got it well. With the exception
of Mark Jefferies, he at Lease is concerned about the
city roads. They went ahead and it's the budget has
not yet been approved, but council approved two million dollars
to go to that stupid Farmer Music Center project. And
maybe I shouldn't even call that project stupid. All I

(36:25):
know is fully funded. They didn't need city money to
break around. They started the thing, and that's in Mayor.
I have to have purvol wandering out of the wilderness.
At one point, raises his hand and says, hey, the
City of Cincinnati will throw eight million dollars at that project.
He was looking around, Well, what who asked for that?
Good question? Where did that concept come from? Now early

(36:48):
in the program, Tom called and kind of suggestion, maybe
there's some kind of shenanigans going around there, maybe some
untowored things going on behind the scenes. All I know
is the money and the thing was fully funded and
whatever tax revenue it generates because it's in the City
of Cincinnati's limits. I'm thinking that the city was going
to get whatever, you know, ROI, that the project was

(37:08):
going to produce, you know, the ticket sales revenue, that
kind of thing. So no one denies the reality that
it was fully funded. Right, So why did we just
why did they just vote to go ahead and rather
than put the money toward roads. Thank you council, remember
Jeffries for wanting to do the right thing, because rather
than one hundred miles of road repairs that should have

(37:31):
been in the budget, which is what their plan was.
Now it's only seventy. Maybe you're in one of the
underserved communities that the City of Cincinnati is ignoring, and
you got crumbling roads on your street. But going back
to Christopher Smithman, UH city budget Director, it's a text
that you sent out to Joe this morning. I didn't
see this reported, but I trust Chris at Christopher in

(37:53):
his informational sources. City budget directors set aside nine million
dollars in the twenty twenty seven and budget for future
litigation settlements. Joe forward to two those eleven, Well, that
made be enough to cover Washington's lawsuit. I wonder how
much money they're gonna allocate for Fiji's. They do have

(38:15):
some time litigation wheels adjustice been very slowly, so anyhow,
I'm what can you do but laugh and wonder what
in the hell the residents of the City of Cincinnati
were thinking when one out of four registered one showed
up and voted basically one hundred percent for these clowns. Well,
I won't call Jeffreys a clown because it seems to

(38:35):
be one of the few they has a voice of
reason on sinsay. City Council coming up at seven oh five,
signal ninety nine. Yeah, she always has great things to
say about leadership as well. Uh signals coming on to
talk about this nonprofit study, which someone says on the
rundown is BS not sure if that's her words or
mine or Rustrekers, but city leaders also questioned the methodology

(38:57):
on this quote quote unquote racial bias report that was
produced by a nonprofit entity called Campaign Zero, which I
guess went to work searching through these records at the
behest of the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office, and that's
got me scratching my head. I'm hoping she can answer
the question, like, by what authority and what reason would
the Public Defender's Office push this forward? Anyway? Controversy swirling

(39:18):
around that, a lot of criticism and a lot of ay,
we've got to take a second look at this and
don't take it at face value. Tom's Awastowski had seven
thirty after Signal ninety nine departs. He's got the website
we the People Convention dot org. Today we'll talk with
Tom about data centers here in Ohio with the Inside
Scoop at eight oh five Every Tuesday, Bright Bart International
editor Francis Martel returns will get the latest from him
on Iran as well from Daniel Davis during the deep

(39:41):
dive at eight thirty pivoting over to Iran. Some are
calling it a retreat, and I think that's an appropriate thing,
this cease fire deal with Iran that has just been inked.
I know Donald Trump signed it, and they're waiting for
the Iranians to sign it beyond something like I electronic signature. Anyway,
that scheduled to happen Friday. It's going to open up

(40:02):
the Straight of Horror Moves and we're gonna open up
their ports for them. The blockade will be over. So
they all are suggesting the traffic will begin to flow
very shortly, providing everybody around the globe with some measure
of relief from the Straight being closed. And according to
the Journal points out, there's no denying Trump is retreating
from his main goals because of political pressure here at home,

(40:24):
and finishing the job requires greater military risk. That's a
critical thing that Daniel Davis had been bringing up for
a long time. You know, if we could, we could
have reopened the Straight of Horror Moves by force. That
was never apparently an option. I guess too much risk
at stake American military hardware. Can you imagine what the

(40:47):
expense is if one of our battleships got blown up
or one of our aircraft carrier got blown up, they
got all those minds sprinkled around. That is a huge
risk loss of American life as well as hardware. Wow,
I do not think that. I think that was certainly
built into the calculation. Not even try it. It sounds simple,
but apparently very complex. He also never authorized a land mission,

(41:09):
like some sort of Venezuelan operation to zip in and
seize the enriched uranium. I suspect the reason why. Maybe
we could have navigated from a military standpoint, but how
much time would it take to dig that stuff out
from underneath the rubble it is presently located. So we
didn't do either of those things. And apparently that's not

(41:30):
a risk he was willing to take to try doing
either of those things. So those who say Trump had
no alternative to this retreat ignored the US blockade was
in fact squeezing her on every single day, the blockade
was leaking. So you got some boats making it through,
you and see a daily report like you know, thirty
boats came through and of late maybe one hundred and
fifty boats came through, but there are a thousands floating

(41:51):
around in there, and in fact a military block or
rather the blockade on Iran's port, starving the Iranians of cash.
They basically have very limited flow of oil coming out
of their country, their only source of income. The blockades
are in place for their ports, so they can't really
get it out if they want to. I know there's
rail routs and some pipe roots, but the vast majority
of it is stuck. So they are slowly having major

(42:14):
problems with your economy. How about just leaving the status quo.
Keep the port's blocked, let the Iranians keep the straight
of horror moves closed. We're in the stalemate. Let's see
how long they can last being starved to death. That's
a military option, but it's one that would take us
way past the November elections. And since we're all dealing
with the price of gasoline here, we're getting to end

(42:34):
up voting against our best interests and vote Democrats into
office and basically screw the rest of us for the
rest of our lives. So that's the reason we're moving
into this. So what we got into this agreement, which
no one's seen the details of yet that I can tell.
Ceasefire is extended for another sixty days, and go ahead
and chuckle about that, because haven't we been in a
ceasefire now four months or whatever? And probably this thing

(42:57):
will be renewed many times. So you got to cease
fire if we don't have all the terms of conditions
and they are serious. Everything that's really complex and important,
the nuclear dust, the missile program has Bala and and Lebanon,
just the multitude of issues not resolved by all reporting.
That's what the sixty day period is. We're gonna iron

(43:18):
out the details during this sixty day period. So blockade's
gonna end. Iran apparently is gonna take steps to d
mind the straits on a timetable so traffic can be unrestricted.
How long is that timetable, we don't know. So we're
gonna get lower gasoline prices. And I started the program
pointing out if you got to gasbuddy dot com, prices
have already dropped. And in my neighborhood there's a couple

(43:40):
of places, Thornton's and Meyer. I think you can get
it for three dollars and twenty cents. But Teyran says
Hormuz will not return to the status quo, and it
claims it will charge quote unquote fees, not tolls, mind
you fees right well, entering into the equation. Now the

(44:02):
memorandum of understanding again, has the text has not been released.
Trump says, some of it is a little conceptual. It's
some of the words he used yesterday. A little conceptual
defers most of the matters of the nuclear program more
than to these sixty days of talk, while oil and
other sanctions relief along the way in exchange for diplomatic progress.

(44:24):
So if the ports are reopened and traffic does flow
through this trait of horror moves, I'd score one for
the Iranians on that. Their economy then is reinvigorated. Now,
what will they do with the money, Well, some are
suggesting the Iranians, being the nefarious liars that they are,
will all just start building more weapons and drones and

(44:44):
maybe even restart their nuclear facility. If they have an
economy back, they can do that. It's going to be
their choice. Pushing off the most difficult nuclear issues and
talks with dishonorable people words used by Trump, dishonorable people
who don't deal in good faith. Again his words, Journal
observe that doesn't exactly inspire confidence. If the regime won't

(45:07):
agree to dismantle its nuclear program, now, why would it
do so after weeks of oil experts and exports and
other relief that it will get immediately with the reopening
of the Strait of Hormuz and the reopening of their ports.
That's a legitimate question. Meanwhile, go back to the Journal here.

(45:27):
Allowing oil experts will rescue the regime financially and resuming
sanctioned enforcements won't be easy when Iran can threaten the
deal and the straight in reply. See, that's the long
term problem here. You're not gonna have regime chains. They've
given up on the whole concept. In order to get
this sort of kind of deal going, you're gonna have

(45:49):
to basically give them them their economy back. Now Trump
has promises isn't going to be giving them, you know,
palettes of cash like Obama did, but it will reinvigorate
or reopen their economy. So are we going to pull
out all of our military and just pack it up
and go home. Are we going to be there to
kind of watch and make sure things move forward under

(46:09):
the terms of whatever this this deal suggests we have
to do, and at any given time into the future.
I don't care what the agreement says. Under the current situation,
the Iranians have woken up to the fact that they
can shut the straight of Horror moves any damn time
they please. And that's a tough thing to struggle with,

(46:30):
isn't it. If we can't bomb them out of existence,
which I guess is where we are. If we can't
invade them by land, which is I guess where we are.
If we are incapable at this moment in time, with
all of our military resources packed into the Middle East,
we can't reopen the strait of horror moves because of
the minds and the threat of drones and missiles. Can we,

(46:52):
ever in the future prevent Iran from doing this again?
Question mark six eighteen. Right now, Bill's on the phone, Bill,
hang on, I get you called this the second First.
I want to mention QC kinetic because Bill may be
in pain. I don't know that he is. But talkstation six.
If you have KC DE talk station, you know they're
a quick observation. I gotta propaps to the Wall Street
Terurnfi pointing this one out as well. No Iranian commitments

(47:14):
on its missiles or terror proxies, you know, like hes Bala.
They say that's going to be put off for this
sixty day window to just kind of iron out and
point out this poses a risk to Israel from Hesbala yep,
as well as golf Arab states. It bore the brunt
of the Iranian attacks from missiles.

Speaker 7 (47:30):
We see.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
The iron and irony of this deal is that the
Gulf States will need greater US defense commitments if Iran
is allowed to rebuild its missile arsenal, whether or not
it's allowed to do it, if they go ahead and
do it anyway, you think Hans blicks is going to
be called out of a called up from the miners.
Joe and and and zip in and check things out
and from time to time, let's see what Bill's got. Hey, Bill,

(47:52):
thanks for calling this morning. Happy Tuesday to you. Hello,
Hey Bill, you're on.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Oh thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
Ryan.

Speaker 9 (48:01):
And look we've been This is going to keep going
on until that regime is i eradicated. You can't keep
see we're keep making the same mistake over You're these
people here have a history, and I think I'm a

(48:25):
Trump's supporter, Sir, I am, But I'm telling you he's
falling into the same tracks that Jimmy Carter all.

Speaker 7 (48:34):
The way up through Reagan.

Speaker 9 (48:37):
They're making this. You cannot make a deal with the devil.

Speaker 5 (48:42):
And you can't get along with it.

Speaker 9 (48:45):
You have to take out that regime and listen, it's
going to be repeated to the next president, to the
next one if it's not tooking now. Now, and with
all their respects Trump, but he's making some mistakes here.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
I mean, I'm just.

Speaker 9 (49:07):
Melbury kentuckting, but my god, I can figure out he's
falling in to the same rootine and.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
You didn't. But Bill, let me observe. I don't think
you called it looking for an argument for me, I'm
kind of reaching the same conclusion. But the problem seems
to be the November elections are driving Trump's motivations. So
not just at minimum keep the blockade in place and
let the rest of the world, along with us, with
our high gasoline prices, struggle with the closure of the
Strait of Hormuz. Who can outlast that? I would think

(49:45):
that the Iranians can't. Any other component of this is
why in the hell aren't all literally all the Arab
nations who've been pestered by the Iranian missile attacks just
joining in and saying, you know what, screw this. We
are sick and dumb with your Iranians as well. We
want them out, and this is it's time to go
and maybe engage in a land battle. Come on, Arab troops,

(50:06):
come on, everybody, let's get together. Hey, maybe we can
get the NATO forces. Long instance, they're struggling as a
consequence of the trade of horn moves as well. No,
it looks like status quo. And who thinks with over
sixty day period they're gonna deal with the missile the
terror proxies, the oil exports, Ah, what could go on
and on here, the nuclear dust, the nuclear program. And

(50:26):
you're good. You make a really good point about the devil.
Now your perception is we're dealing with the devil, the
Iranian regime being the devil in this case. And I
don't disagree with that, you know, boiled down a way
of referring to them. But they literally think we're the devil.
I mean literally, do you think they are negotiating good

(50:49):
faith with an entity that they believe to be the
Great Satan. If you sat down and there was a
figure of a devil across from you and you were
negotiating with him, in the back of your mind, be like, well,
screw this guy. You think I'm going to hold up
the terms of conditions with a deal with a devil.
I want them eradicated from the face of the globe,
say the Iranians about us, as well as the Israellies,

(51:12):
So you know that whole religious component cannot be overlooked.
You're right, you leave the regime in place. And I'm
not saying there's a mechanism to deal with the regime
absence some sort of global effort to wipe them off
the face of the earth. Yep, kick the can folks.
That's what seems to be the direction we're going. And
I'm not being critical of Trump necessarily, He's got political

(51:34):
realities to deal with, and I think I blame the
American people for not having the stomach to navigate the
storm of these ridiculous gasoline prices, which again aren't nearly
as bad as they were under Joe Biden, and not
barely as bad as they really would be if the
Democrats got their way about climate change. That's what you're
gonna vote for. Huh right? Six twenty eight, fifty five

Cincinni police departments traffic stops. Tom z Austowski coming up
a one hour on Ohio data centers. He's with We
the People Convention dot Org. In the meantime, over to
some local stories. I find this is rather interesting. FBI
agents sears the office of an Ohio group that allegedly
supports voter registration efforts. They went in and seized documents

(52:38):
and computer files. That's according to a release from the
board member of this organization. A federal agent showed up
at the Cleveland office of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative. You know,
as the man raised my eyebrow and I read something
like that. Anyway, they were there, they questioned staff and
seized documents and records. How do they do that? They

(53:00):
had a search warrant. How do you get a search warrant?
You go to a judge and you present probable cause
that criminal activity is going on. That's how you end
up with the search warrant. Is is criminal activity going on?
I don't know. We'll find out from the FBI when
they either levy charges or walk away from it having
found nothing. Anyway, The organization described as founded in two
thousand and seven, its mission fighting for criminal justice, reform,

(53:25):
racial justice, and expansion of voting rights. Not pause for
a moment. I thought about that expansion of voting rights.
If you are eligible to vote, there is no impediment
to your voting period. Into what realm will we be
expanding voting rights? Something I like to think about. Anyway,

(53:49):
you got to get a search one, as I mentioned, cause,
a criminal activity must exist. The judge has to be
convinced of that, and that's how it's got issued. Some
described as troubled by this. Now you have a choice
when it comes to voting for the governor of the
state of Ohio. Right, viv Ramaswami put aside your racism
and put aside you were perhaps a concern over him

(54:09):
being Hindu. Since we don't live in a theocracy, he
can't make you worship any given religion. He is a
brilliant man, demonstrably successful, and has great ideas to well
recharge the batteries of Ohio and make it one of
the most attractive states in the Union for business luring businesses.
I think that sounds like a great idea. I don't
know what doctor Amyactin suggests, except maybe to shut down
your business. See I got it out of my system.

(54:31):
But going back to doctor Amy Actin quoted in the interview,
any attempts by federal law enforcement to intimidate eligible Ohioans
from registering to vote are unacceptable. Well, I would share
that in the statement. But what does the issued based
on probable Cause search warrant have to do with intimidating
eligible Ohioans from registering? Is the government going after eligible

(54:58):
Ohioans for the purpose of preventing them from registering to vote?
Of course not. I'm sorry that was a stupid statement.
You mentioned pivoting over Shared Brown. You have a choice
in that race too. You got John Houston or you
have Shared Brown. You know who I'm in favor of.
He asked the FBI to make public any and all

(55:18):
activities around these raids. Adding any attempt to intimidate Ohio
voters is wrong and it will not work. Again, in
what way are Ohio voters being intimidated? This is an
outside organization that you just heard their their mission statement.
This has nothing to do with intimidating Ohio voters. Maybe
he has something to do with pursuing criminal activity that
they believe because they have probable cause to believe criminal

(55:41):
activity was going on. Nah see six thirty seven, fifty

this morning? Hey Brian, thanks for calling, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Good morning.

Speaker 10 (56:15):
Hey, uh I got just a couple of different rabbit
holes real quick, uh Iran has something that we don't have.
We've got a republic. We replace over our leaders every
four years, every six years, right, so they they've got
they've got time.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
We don't have time.

Speaker 10 (56:30):
So that's that's that's the biggest thing against us, And
I mean that's that's the biggest thing basically. But the
other two rabbit holes I was going to say, is, uh,
the way we could conquer the time is if we
were not humanitarian. Sha has showed their cards as far
as if we was to go in and do what
Russia has done to Ukraine, It's shown the weakness of

(56:52):
Russia because they can't even take over Ukraine. If we
were to go and do the same thing, we would
have done obliterated Iran, I believe. But we're but we
don't fight like that, you know. We try to save
women and children and save infrastructure as much as we can,
right right. And then one more one more point that
is kind of kind of irrelevant but relevant in the
future possibly is the supposed at one point four billion

(57:12):
people in China, it takes two people to sustain your
to sustain, and it takes three or more to grow
and in nineteen seventy nine, which I don't know how
relevant that is to the Iran deal or the Iran
doing what they've done since nineteen seventy nine. But according
to what's out there, they had nine hundred million people
in China, but supposedly they have one point four billion

(57:33):
people today. But they've had a one child policy since then,
and they just opened it up to two people two
people in twenty fifteen. That the math doesn't math if
they're getting older and they're not replacing themselves, well exactly.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Well, and that's actually interesting, Bran, because that's a global phenomenon,
with the exception of Africa. And I've seen a lot
of studies on this. I mean, nobody's having kids anymore.
I mean it's a real problem. And yeah, I don't
know the population in China is. Of course, they need
to continue to populate their country in order to keep
their economy running. Of course, I have no idea what's
going on with the Iranians, but you know it's a

(58:07):
legitimate point we and of course we could blow up Iran.
I mean you're going to your point about could we win. Yeah,
you know, we've got nuclear weapons to just if they
haven't got the memo yet. And we're the only country
that's ever used one in a war situation we called
World War two, right, nobody's used one again since we
continue to build the hell out of them. I matter
how many thousands of nuclear bombs the world needs, but

(58:28):
we've got more than we can use right mutually assured destruction,
which is exactly why the Iranians want one. It's why
North Korea has one. It's already been widely reported. We
used to worry about Kim jun Er, own er, whatever
the hell leader that they've got going on. These days,
apparently everybody's reported they've got one. And why do you
think they wanted to build one? Because well, those evil

(58:50):
Westerners had their designs on knocking over the communist regime.
Remember the Korean conflict, it's not a war. Remember there
was no declaration of war. There was no authorization used
to military force because it wasn't such a thing back
when we were involving the conflict. The police action, Yeah, no,
question is complicated. But then you go back to why

(59:12):
we don't have time. Your point is well taken, and
it's one of the reasons that Donald Trump I believe
has gone down the same road or a similar path
as Obama. They're trying to draw distinctions between it. But
whatever we've got by now, by way of agreement, which
we haven't seen the terms of doesn't seem to do much.
It certainly does not get rid of the evil Iranian regime,
which has been a thorn on everybody's sides in nineteen
seventy nine. We don't have time because we the American people,

(59:35):
do not have the stomach to deal with the inflationary
reality is brought about by high gasoline prices that that
are a consequence of the war. If we were all
behind it, if this was a nine to eleven moment
or a Pearl Harbor moment, I bet the vast majority
of American people would say, screw the inflation, screw the
high gas prices. Go after these so and sos. Fill

(59:56):
in your favorite sec non compliant words to describe them.
Let's get job done. But we don't. Guess needs a
dollar more than it was a year or two ago,
So we can't do now that right, We got a
November election, and see that, to me is just the
most frustrating part about this whole thing. I understand the

(01:00:17):
complications and the implications. We're really trying to go in
and get the job done. That would cost a lot
of lives, It would cost a lot of hardware. Oh
and there's another problem we've got on our hands. In
addition to the strategic petroleum oil reserve almost being tapped out,
so is our weapons supply billions and billions and billions
of dollars? Is it economically possible? Can we continue to

(01:00:42):
maintain adequate military hardware to protect ourselves in the event
of something consequential coming our way? This is not an
easy thing to solve, and I think that's why we
are where we are. Cease fire open the straight, give
you running an economy back open, so they can sell
their oil and probably rebuild their military hardware and would
be the first order of business. Oh but that's right.

(01:01:04):
During the next sixty days, we're going to be addressing
their rebuilding of their military hardware or not, as the
case may be, just a small item to deal with.
Small also noted that I love this. Differences of interpretation
between US and Running officials appear to remain over the
precise mechanics of the agreement, according to RODDI and State

(01:01:26):
media report suggesting there may yet be work to be
done to ensure all parties are aligned on how the
deal's terms are understood and implemented. Huh, They both sides
to the signed agreement, assuming that's signed on Friday, don't
necessarily have eye to eye understanding of even the terms, like,
for example, differences appear to go into how shipping through

(01:01:49):
the Strait of Hormones will be structured in practice, US
officials describing the arrangement as ensuring no cost transit, while
the running officials and state linked report indicate that Tehran
believes the system will of maritime service fees or structured
transit charges for vessels passing through the waterway. So apparently

(01:02:10):
the Iranians think they're gonna paid for every boat that
goes through. And you know, it's kind of an unfortunate development.
After the war was launched against the Iranians, the strait
got closed, that's when the Iranians started talking about tolls.
They weren't talking about tolls before the bombing started. So
maybe that goes. If you're getting winning lost column kind

(01:02:31):
of things going, you'd probably give the Iranians a win
on that one. We'll see over the next sixty days
how that minor issue is resolved. Six forty eight right
now for five ks the talk station coming up at
the end of the program. End of the show this morning,
at the end of tail hour, we have our asked
the expert, my buddy Austin from Foreign Exchange, which is
the place you should go to get your automobile service.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Why?

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Because you'll save money. If you have a traditionally imported
car Asia, You're or a Tesla, don't go to the dealer.
If it's out of warranty, of course, go to Foreign Exchange.
You can get your car fixed for less. Ask my buddy.
Brent sent me a letter. Austin's going to show up
today at the asked the experts segment to talk about
getting your car service for summer, you go on a
vacation and travel. There's the things you might want to
look out for. But the point of Foreign Exchange existence

(01:03:17):
rather than the dealership is because you have an a
SC certified Master technician working on your car. You walk
out with top quality parts, advanced diagnostics, honest, straightforward pricing,
a full warranty on whatever they're doing for you, and
more money in your pocket. And you know, Brent, save
what four hundred dollars? My buddy sent me the repair
bill for the letter talking about how he got his car.

(01:03:39):
They looked at by the Honda dealership they wanted six
hundred bucks. He's like, this car is old, it's not
worth it. Now I'm going to see what Foreign Exchange says.
They fixed it for less than two hundred I call
that good savings. That's the experience I have every time
I have my oil change. I save more than two
hundred dollars on just an oil change online. Find them
foreign acts dot com. Now Austin is with my choice
location for foreign Exchange. That's Westchester and that's the Tylersville

(01:04:02):
exit off of I seventy five. Just go east until
you see the Knees Chicken sign and turn right on
Kingland Drive right before the knes Chicken. You're gonna be there.
And when you get in tell them. Brian said, Hi,
they'll treat you like family as long as your family
treats you well. Online for an X four in the
letter X dot com fifty five KRC see the talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Six fifty four.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Let's I'm straight to the phones in the moments we
have left in this segment because Todd's on the line. Todd,
thanks for calling today, and happy Tuesday to you, sir.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
Hey, Happy Tuesday, Brian. I'll try and make it quick
because I know, you're up against the top of the
hour news about the Iran situation and about they've got
more time than we do. Well, that's correct. But the
other thing, and I think it's this has been a
problem for decades. We seem to think that everybody else

(01:04:53):
on the world thinks and use says the way we
do right and wait to say, and we think that
they will react the way we do. I mean, we're
moaning and whining about high gas prices right now. In Iran,
they're dealing with, you know, serious damage to infrastructure. Well
they're used to having it a little rougher anyway, So

(01:05:18):
you know, if they got to wait something out, you know, hey,
they weren't really used to it the way we are.
Like if we were to lose our electricity for one day,
you know, the world.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Would come to an end exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
And yeah, and so you know, we inflict some punishment,
which I think is you know, helping our clause. But
you know, they can absorb a little bit more punishment
than we can because they're a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
User used to having it rock and a sizeable parlor
population is our fundamentalist Islamist and they are willing to
struggle and fight off the mighty Great State at their
own personal discomfort. Why because well, they're dealing with Satan,
who's dropping bombs on them. I mean, you make a
great point. You know, we'd be better equipped to handle

(01:06:09):
the increase in gas prices if this was like a
post depression era. Remember in World War Two they had
rationing cards. Can you imagine the outrage in the population
if you were told you were only able to buy
x amount of meat pounds of meat a week. People
would be losing their minds. We don't live in that
warding where We've had it very easy because we are

(01:06:29):
the greatest economy of the world's ever seen. We've got
so much stuff. The city of Cincinnati is willing to
throw two million dollars at a music venue that doesn't
even need the money. Wow, I guess we're a washing
cast in Cincinnati as well. I'm sorry I had to
throw back that back in there. Yeah, and thank you
Michael for sending me the text. You know, they believe
in kron Krohn states is okay to lie to infidels,
which gives you a real sense of security over whether

(01:06:51):
they're going to buy into or commit to and follow
through with any terms that they quote unquote agree to
in this negotiation, which they won't. They've they've been demonstrating
that for years. And they also believe it's okay to
kill murder infants and elderly people and all of that.
Not exactly a moral group of fundamentalists we're dealing with here.

(01:07:11):
But if you try to stick yourself in the hands
of any fundamentalist Jurani and you understand that they believe
we are the embodiment of evil. Coming up in six
fifty seven, it's time to get the news, followed by
Signal ninety nine should be on the phone talking about
this outside study criticizing the Sinsint Police Department for its

(01:07:33):
traffic stops. Don't go away, celebrating two hundred and fifty years.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
So the iHeartRadio one.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
It's seven oh six here fifty five krc DE talk station.
Not gonna wait for it, just gonna go ahead and
jump on in cause Signal ninety nine as returned to
the fifty five cars, same morning show as promised. Now
always start up by recommending if you're on Facebook, and
I know only old geezers like me apparently on Facebook
and wonderful people like Signal ninety nine, which is really
a conglomerate of folks that have inside information about some

(01:08:01):
of the shenanigans that are going, which I like to
call it in since Ay, in the fire Department, the
police department, and of course City City Hall, Cheryl Long,
Iris Rolie and the like Welcome back Signal ninety nine
finder on Facebook and follower. It's great reporting and a
lot of high comedy. I love the post you put
up about being on the Morning show today, Signal ninety
nine with the pineapple. We all know what pineapple is.

(01:08:21):
Good to have you back on.

Speaker 11 (01:08:24):
Good morning, Good to be back.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Yeah, I can say your bat pineapple insane. You have
pineapple for brains. Somebody finally got the idea of what
that actually is. Anyway, it's good to have you back on,
and real quick before we dive on into this alleged
bias that Campaign Zero described as a nonprofit organization who
looked at seventeen years worth of contact cards finding that
the police department apparently is racist in its traffic stops.

(01:08:51):
I note that Christopher Smithman told me the city budget
director set aside nine million dollars in the twenty twenty
seven budget for future litingation settlements. I guess that that
covers Chief Washington, but probably not enough for Police Chief
Fiji your reaction.

Speaker 11 (01:09:09):
I highly doubt it will cover Chief Washington. There are
some other lawsuits that are getting ready to pop and
they know it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
And that's okay. You know why because Farmer Music Center's
getting two million dollars from the City of Cincinnati for
the music center that didn't ask for that money in
the first place, as far as we know. Anyway, Let's
pivot over the operation. This nonprofit called themselves Campaign Zero,
and they released this damning report showing the racial disparity
the number of people being stopped by the CINCINNTI police,

(01:09:37):
and like they even point out, you know, and weirdly
that even in white neighborhoods where white people have the
predominant amount of people, black people were the minority, they
still pulled over more black people than whites. I'll let
you address all this, but I want to start with
the foundation.

Speaker 8 (01:09:53):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
Contact cards. Those are what this organization looked at. And
according to the reporting from various local news media outlets,
four hundred and seventy thousand of these contact cards were
looked for looked at may cover the period two thousand
and nine to twenty twenty five that's relinked at some
point or originally to the collaborative Agreement. Can you just

(01:10:14):
explain to me and my listening audience what is the
point of these contact cards and what type of information
that they that they include, and why they are required
to be created by the police department.

Speaker 11 (01:10:26):
So law enforcement has predominantly used FIR contact cards forever.
It's not just Cincinnati, it's all over the country. It's
it's been a practice that's been used. If you make
contact with somebody, maybe you don't maybe you decide not

(01:10:47):
to cite them for something. Okay, So like even a
park ranger catching somebody in the park doing something suspicious,
you know, they might walk up to them and say, hello, sir,
you know, how are you today? You know your dog's
not on a leash. I'm not going to cite to
you today, but I need to see your ide. They're

(01:11:07):
gonna they're gonna fill out an fi R, They're going
to fill out the contact build an information report. Okay,
a contact card. Basically what that does is, you know,
that gets saved and then later on, if if you
have a problem with this individual. Later you could say, oh, yeah,
we have a couple of different contact cards of this

(01:11:30):
guy in this neighborhood. At the same time, we had
a ration of burglary is going on, So they can
look at that later and say, you know this, this
could be, you know, a suspect. If this could not
be a suspect, this could just be you know, an
informational contact like hey, I'm just giving you a heads

(01:11:52):
up you can't park here, or hey, you know so
typically you'll get a contact card when you know there's
there's is not going to be a citation. They're just
interesting to see what your activity is, okay, and if
you you know, they're using the excuse it was, you know,
even the predominantly white neighborhoods, well, okay, let's talk about that.

(01:12:16):
What's happening. What's happening all over the city, but in
predominantly white neighborhoods as well. You're having vehicles stolen, you're
having handguns stolen out of cars, you're having car windows
broken and things stolen. I mean down at the jail
right now, the porceas the deputies can't even park near
the jail because they don't have protected parking, and they're

(01:12:40):
down there breaking their windows out constantly because they know
that these deputies can't take their handguns into the jail,
so they're hoping to find guns in their cars. I mean,
So it doesn't matter where it's at. The problem is

(01:13:00):
the data slot. The data slot, because first of all,
they went off of a twenty twenty consensus, which is ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
You never do that.

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
You never do that.

Speaker 11 (01:13:12):
You you you don't look at potentially tourism type population
and you you don't add that in, and you don't
use a consensus year. If they if they did a
consensus year this next time, it wouldn't go as favorably

(01:13:33):
for them, would it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Well, explain that to me, what is it? What is
this consensus thing, this consensus year? Why is that not
a reliable document or what is it comprised of? Just
fill in that blank for me in my listening audience.

Speaker 11 (01:13:47):
Well, if you if you look at our at a
twenty twenty consensus year, what was included in the twenty
twenty consensus that wouldn't be included in the next consensus
according to law, you wouldn't illegals that would be counted
on the on the census. First of all, you wouldn't
have it also shouldn't include a tourist population that's in

(01:14:11):
and out of the city. It wouldn't you know, it
wouldn't include events and things of that nature that were
big in twenty twenty. We had a lot of people
in twenty twenty that didn't live in Cincinnati that specifically
came to Cincinnati to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
Protest.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
So it's in Apple's the Oranges comparison. You can't use
that particular document because it doesn't accurately reflect the reality
of what we see day in and day out throughout
a calendar year in the city exactly.

Speaker 11 (01:14:43):
You know, we had a massive year protest that year.
So a lot of the people that were given contact
cards that year didn't even live here. They here to protest,
They came here to write it. Okay, So okay, So
let's let that piece aside and let's focus on the
officers and the supervisors that they picked on in this report.

(01:15:08):
First of all, these are officers and supervisors that are
assigned to violent crime squads. They are assigned to uh SIGI.
You remember what CIGIC stands for.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Now, go ahead and explain.

Speaker 11 (01:15:28):
Okay, they're they're they're they're they're assigned to the gun
crime unit. They're assigned to guns and gangs. They're assigned
to these are they are uh directed patrols into high
violence areas, Okay, high crime aria. So these officers are
going to have more contact with people of color in

(01:15:57):
these areas because they're they're working they're working gangs, they're
working guns, they're working violent crime. So that right there
to just completely wipe this out, that this whole thing
is for nothing. And do you know why the timing
of it is so important that it just came out?

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
Oh, do tell signal ninety nine.

Speaker 11 (01:16:21):
Well, it's a big election year for Cincinnati. So Judge
Carrie Bloom has a has Susan Lucan running against her.
People are sick and tired of these out of controlled juveniles.
They want to vote for a change. They want to
get rid of Carrie Bloom. They want to put a

(01:16:42):
judge in there who wants to re establish law and
order in the juvenile court system. The public defenders do
not want that. The Public Defender's Office loves Judge Carrie
Bloom and Judge silver Steam and Judge Cross and all
these other judges that are political ideology judges. They're social

(01:17:03):
workers in robes, so they can't handle even the thought
of losing Terry Blue.

Speaker 1 (01:17:11):
I see, so you've already answered the question was going
to ask you during this segment. We've got to take
a break here in a moment. But it was the
Hamilton County Public Defender's Office, apparently at least a cord
of the reporting I'm reading for Fox nineteen, that asked
this outside organization to do the survey. At the outset,
I was wondering, why does the Hamilton County Public Defender's
Office one have the authority to even ask for it?

(01:17:33):
And what was their interest in this? There's your answer,
it's politics.

Speaker 11 (01:17:37):
Well at number two, Iris Rowley sits on the commissioning
board of the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
Well, how about that special that's so special? I'm sorry,
I got to say that doesn't surprise me a bit.
Hold on signal ninety now we're going to bring it
back to talk about this a little bit more. And
it just suggests that maybe in these trying times, maybe
a little prayer might be necessary for more people. You know,
you might want to consider that reconnecting with God and
regardless of your de talk station in a sevent twenty

(01:18:09):
here fifty five KRC detalk station trying to make it
happy to today and get over to Facebook and follow
signal ninety nine, you get all the details and information.
She broke down all everything she's mentioning on this program
on the outside nonprofit racial bias report, which makes the
police department look terribly racist in terms of pulling people
over for traffic stops. But it's far more than that,

(01:18:30):
as she pointed out in the last segment, you got
to take into account that, you know, and I don't
like the fact that they identified officers by name. That's
an intimidation tactic, isn't it, Signal ninety nine. I mean,
it seems so obvious, and it seems designed to, well,
you know what, I don't want to be named in
some outside non governmental organizations report as being a bad guy,
even though the only reason I had so many of

(01:18:50):
these individuals on my contact sheet list is because I
have been assigned to one of the more difficult details,
dealing with gang members. So I I find that really troubling.
It's sort of like an anti ice tactic. I mean,
do you do you perceive that as part of the
underlying motivation for mentioning names Signal ninety nine.

Speaker 11 (01:19:09):
Oh absolutely, and that the problem is like the number
one most egregious supervisor on the list didn't have a
single contact card. Okay, these are supervisors, these are sergeants,
these are captains, a couple of which are black. So
they didn't even have contact cards. But they you know,

(01:19:30):
these contacts happened under their watch. So but let's set
that aside for a minute. The point of all of this, okay,
and the timing we're coming into summer. Okay. So if
if we whip up some racial tension and Iris presents
herself as the savior to fix the solution, what does

(01:19:55):
that mean to you?

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
Well, it means that it's like doing a definition epity,
doing the same thing over and over again expecting a
different result. Wasn't she Hasn't she been around for decades
fixing the problem? Has the problem been fixed me as directly?

Speaker 11 (01:20:11):
So if this, if this report is accurate, which is
clearly is not, okay, then Irish Rowley has failed the
city of Cincinnati for over twenty five years. We paid
her million dollars to do something she wasn't able to do.
But now all of a sudden, her and Damon Lynch

(01:20:31):
the third they have a new program they're starting up.
They're going to fix all of it. So, uh that
and that just came right on Q like two days
after the report broke. Now there, you know, are you
non biased? You should? You should instant message me. You
could be part of this new you know, give me
a break. So let's say, let's just go ahead and

(01:20:54):
say what nobody else wants to say. Okay, Uh, violent
crime has an overwhelmingly high number of Black males and
female adult and juvenile that commit violent crime in the city, Okay,

(01:21:14):
much more so than any other race. What they don't say,
what they refuse to say, is that the victims of
these black offenders are predominantly black. So the black communities
are the ones getting hammered the hardest by the black criminals.
Nobody's protecting the black communities. And that's what Iris Rowley

(01:21:37):
is supposed to be doing. She's supposed to be helping
create solutions and black communities to quell violentlont crime, to
keep the juveniles under control, you know, to make the
city come together with the CPD and work together to
fix this problem. There's no they don't want a solution.

(01:22:01):
Do you remember last year when we blew up the
videos of IRIS obstructing and harassing PPD officers?

Speaker 1 (01:22:08):
Oh yeah, absolutely?

Speaker 11 (01:22:11):
Okay? Do you remember we called uh for her termination
of her contract. The FOP was very vocal about that
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:22:19):
Do you you absolutely?

Speaker 11 (01:22:22):
Okay? Well, the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office did a
post we scann with Irish Rowlely. You know what I mean?
What does that tell you?

Speaker 5 (01:22:32):
Well?

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
And I'm glad you you brought back up the Hamilt
County Public Defender's Office and I guess they're concerned over
perhaps the loss of Kerry Bloom, the administrative judge of
in juvenile who is soft on crime. Well just let's
say it that way. And recognizing that, well.

Speaker 11 (01:22:50):
They're terrified that that Christopher McDowell is going to be elected.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Well, yeah, terrified that he's going to be elected to
defeating Kerry the liberal activist person that's ahead of juvenile court. Now,
recognizing and springing from your point that the victims of
these juvenile crimes are typically black people, does that mean
that black people want to be harder and harsher on
crime in the city of Cincinnati, because you need a

(01:23:16):
sizeable black vote if you're going to win an election,
and there are a lot of black people in the
city of Cincinnati, are they going to vote in large
numbers to oust carry Bloom? Is that what they're afraid of?

Speaker 11 (01:23:27):
That is what they are absolutely terrify though, how about that?
You know last November they were worried about losing the
mayor and city council. So you know this year they're
worried about losing some of their judges.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
All right, proving my point that yes, if you live
in a black neighborhood are proominately black neighborhood, you definitely
want law enforcement. You definitely want the evil people out
of the neighborhood. You don't want gangs of youths running
around regardless of the color of their skin. You just
want an end of the crime. Huh. That counters the
narrative we hear from the Irish rollies of the world
all the time, doesn't it?

Speaker 11 (01:24:02):
Yes, it does. And you know it's sad because I
don't know when she sold her soul for the paychecks
that she's getting. But she is not an advocate for
the brack community. She is an advocate for the Black
United Front, and that is completely different.

Speaker 1 (01:24:19):
Or maybe maybe she's an advocate for Iris Rollie. Since
it's been very lucrative to be the fly and the
ointment for so many people in these various neighborhoods, h
are just simply looking for law enforcement.

Speaker 11 (01:24:30):
Oh yeah, and you watched this new program her and
Damon Leinster coming up with. That's going to be very
lucrative too, and we're probably gonna end up paying for
something for.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
That well, and you know where we're going to read
about it on Single ninety nine's Facebook page. Thank you
so much for your time and for breaking this down
from my listening audience and me and I appreciate all
of your efforts on behalf of all of the residents
of the city in Cincinnati. What you are doing is
a noble gesture, and well it seems consistent with what
the vast majority of the people in downtown one. They

(01:25:00):
want law enforcement, they want law and order, and then
you support both of those. Signal ninety nine. Thank you
again for your time and your regular time on Facebook,
and you're reporting and I welcome you back on the
Morning Show anytime you got more scoop for us.

Speaker 11 (01:25:12):
All right, have a great day.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
You do the same, folks, don't go away. Coming up next,
we're gonna hear from Tom's Awastowski. We the People Convention
dot org. It is seven thirty one and fifty five
krs the talk station. Try to have a happy Tuesday.
Coming up out the top of our news inside Scoop
with bright Bart News International Editor Francis Martell. We'll get
the latest from him on Iran, which this isn't looking
good in terms of outcome. Daniel Davis deep dive in
one hour on the same topic. In the meantime, Welcome

(01:25:35):
back to the fifty five Cars Morning Show. You'll find
him online at We the People Convention dot org. His
name Tom's Awastowski. He's got a podcast comes out every week.
It's worth checking out. He's got some great posts on there.
Welcome back, Tom. It's always a pleasure having on the
show man.

Speaker 5 (01:25:49):
It's crazy to be with you, Brian, and I'm glad
to have you back as well. Hope things are going
well on the health. Fun for you. Been thinking and
praying it for you.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
Thank you very much. It means the world to me.
And yeah, I still swimming a little bit, but yeah,
it's fine. I'm done with the treatments and I'm looking
forward to getting a pet scan in a few weeks
and that'll determine whether or not I got to continue
treatments or whatever's going to happen. But I'm I'm very optimistic.
So thanks very much. And hey, before we get to
the data center topic, which I know you wanted to
talk about this morning, it's a great topic. I just

(01:26:16):
need to bring up something on the gubernatorial race. I
very disturbed one of the most influential educators of my life,
just a brilliant man, had a profound impact on my
politics and my view of education. It disturbed me with
a post he put up on Facebook saying he's going
to basically sit out the gubernatorial election. He's no fan
of Amy acting for a million reasons. I can understand that,

(01:26:38):
but apparently just not convinced of Viva Gramaswami. I don't
know if he's a decent guy. It sounded to me
it was more than one of those you know, he's
looking for great and he's willing to throw out good
in the hopes that there's somebody else out there. But
if you sit it out, and you don't go for
someone who is obviously better equipped and has a demonstrable
successful background that could benefit every body in the state

(01:27:00):
of Ohio, you are pretty much guaranteeing Amy acting is
going to get elected. And that's one once one part
of it, and the other part of it is the
posts that I've seen and people who will openly acknowledge
they're not going to vote for vvig because he is
a person of color and or Hindu. And that just
appalls me that anybody in my listening audience would reject
vivig Ramaswami because he he does have the nomination, would

(01:27:23):
reject him because of the color of his skin or
his religion. You know, Tom, can you react to that.
I'm not sure where you are in the gubernatorial race,
but if you want to assure Amy acting as governor
of the state, yeah, and sit it out.

Speaker 5 (01:27:35):
Well, Brian, you're you're you know, you're hitting on some
very serious concerns. I'm concerned, and I've expressed that concern
to the VEC personally anti Rob McCauley and to Alex
the chairman of the party, because this is it's actually
growing that. You know, we heard that last year and
and you know, I confronted some of my Christian friends

(01:27:57):
who would bring it up to me. I said, wait
a minute, you're the guys who are come to me
when some Christian candidate is being talked down because they're
a Christian. And now you're going to tell me that
you won't vote for the Vike because he's Hindu. I mean,
how how hypocritical is that? And it's it doesn't make
any sense, but it is something that we have to

(01:28:18):
understand is real. And these two issues we're going to
talk about today are linked the data center issue. I'm
becoming more and more convinced that the less with funding
from communists China, is using the data center issue to
split our Republican base, because that's exactly what's happening. And

(01:28:38):
I've been pleading with the Veke that you've got to
lead on this issue and that they're connected. It comes
down to this, In my opinion, it comes under this,
You've got to do something. I keep saying, I've been
talking on your show about the suspend the gas tax
to give people a little bit of a break, because

(01:29:00):
the Fox poll that came out a week and a
half ago said the number one issue in Ohio that's
going to determine how they vote is inflation and affordability.
Forty three percent said that was their most important issue. Hey,
how about give us a little relief on the gas
prices to show you actually give a damn and you're
going to take action to.

Speaker 11 (01:29:21):
Help the people.

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
Well I did.

Speaker 7 (01:29:23):
Are they going to do that?

Speaker 5 (01:29:24):
No, they're not doing a damn thing.

Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
Yeah, we can't handle a little bit of pain out
here in America. I'm talking about this a lot this morning.
I started out the morning I got on gas buddy,
and you know, in the area surrounding my neighborhood, there's
actually three dollars and twenty cent gasoline all around town,
three seventy five, So it's no longer four point fifty.
And we did hit a peak, but under Biden it
was five bucks. And how long did that last? Maybe

(01:29:46):
a year it went away. That's a temporary problem. And
question out loud as we parke, as we paused for
a break here, Tom, how in God's name is who
you vote for governor going to have an impact on inflation? Broa. Oddly,
that's a global reality, it's at least a national reality.
I don't know that any one governor's position to do

(01:30:06):
anything except maybe temporarily suspended gasoline tax. Not a huge,
you know, a huge relief on that one. But beyond that,
I think it's certainly out of his hands. I mean,
Trump promised the lower inflation on day one when he
got elected president. That hasn't really worked out because I
think it's out of his control too. You know, Tom,
don't go away. We'll bring you back. We'll talk data centers.
It's seven thirty seven if fifty five KRCD talk station,

(01:30:29):
and I want to strongly recommend the talk station. It
is seven forty one ififty five KRCD talk station. Right,
Thomas to Tom's Alaskassi. We the People Convention dot Org.
Tom pivoting back over to data center is obviously a
very divisive topic. Everybody in the world thinks the world's
going to end. They're not gonna be any electricity left.

(01:30:50):
They're gonna pollute the water, They're gonna use up all
the available water. It's got to be noisy, it's gonna
Lord knows. And I have been concerned from you know,
day one in this whole idea and concept of data
centers started bubbling up that yeah, the Chinese are the
Chinese Communist Party, not the Chinese people. The race, God
bless it, are behind efforts to undermine our moving forward

(01:31:12):
in a direction that the entire world is going to
I paraphrase all this or what you know, qualify by
saying I don't like it. I don't want it to
be a thing. I want to have to you know,
like old days, I want letters to be written and mailed,
so you had three or four days before you got
a letter back. You know, world moved a lot slower.
It was a better place. People were smarter. They used
logic and reason and thinking skills in order to accomplish

(01:31:34):
tasks that AI will do for us. We're going to
be all dumber as a consequence. Let's just get that
out of the area or out of the way. But
it's here, and if somebody doesn't dominate it, like the
United States, then they're going to be potentially nefarious powers
like the Chinese Communist Party that will dominate it and
therefore control the algorithms and the way that stuff operates.
And you know, damn well, you and I are going

(01:31:56):
to end up being used or using a Chinese Communist
Party dominated and not something that we would least have
some control over here, Tom, Tom, if you can hear me,
we can't hear you. I'm not quite sure what happened
right there.

Speaker 5 (01:32:14):
You go, you dropped out, and I didn't. I didn't
hear you for a second. But yeah, so you know
your frustration is real, and we're we're what I'm asking for.
And I think actually I've agreed with Governor Mike DeWine
for the first time in about eight years with he
put out a post about data centers and and and
then Glenn Beck had a really good take on this,

(01:32:36):
and you guys listening. You can find this at Porage
Countyteaparty dot com Portage County Teaparty dot com, where I'm
kind of putting all this Ohio data center stuff in there.
And listen to what Glenn Beck says, because he kind of,
you know, was going off what you were saying. They're
gonna build the data center somewhere, okay, and if it's
the Chinese who build them and not us, we're going

(01:32:59):
to really suffer from that. So we want to control it.

Speaker 11 (01:33:03):
And what Mike de Line was saying is listen.

Speaker 5 (01:33:06):
Local communities, you're in control. They can't just come and
build the data center. They have to cut a deal
with you and so get a good deal. And that's
all I've been saying. I just want to have an
intelligent conversation. And tonight I'm going to be going to
this Shaylersville Township meeting in Northern Ports County that I'm

(01:33:28):
afraid is going to be a circus because the Left
has been talking about busting people in office and everything
to promote no data centers and all this, and Glenn
Beck says, don't say no data centers, say no data
centers unless you protect our water, unless you make your
own power, unless you give us what we want. That's

(01:33:51):
the discussion I want to have tonight in Shaylersville. I
don't know if we're going to get to have that
because of the you know, the less attempt to make
sure they shot us.

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
Down, shout down, and that's the only tactic they have
because when it comes down to logic and reason and
dealing with the issues that they seem to be so
outraged about, which you could negotiate with a data center
that wants to come to your county. I mean, they
would just fail if they had to actually engage in
a discussion, so they scream, miss, you know what this
sounds like yet one more Marxist effort. When you look

(01:34:22):
at all the angry protesters going after ice, going after
police departments, I mean the list is Antifa, for example,
all of them we find that are well funded. Hmm.
I wonder where that funding comes from. Where do people
think that? Why would anybody want to be bussed in
from outside the area, maybe even from outside the state
to deal with an issue that relates to only residents

(01:34:44):
of Portage County.

Speaker 5 (01:34:45):
Huh, that's funny how that works. It is right, and
so so we the people, all of us, you know,
have to have this conversation. You know, you got to
go look for the facts. And again, you know, I've
made the case. At that porgecintyteaparty dot com website, you'll
see a two minute video for me, and then you'll
see slides that they're going to present tonight that answer

(01:35:09):
the bloody questions. So, for instance, that the left is
out there putting stuff on social media that this data
center is going to use two million gallons of water
a week or something like that, and it's gonna use
three thousand gallons of water in a closed system that
looks like the radiator on your car. Hot on it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
Okay, let's elaborate on this. We come back because aun
the time, I know you got more on this one,
and I just have to interject real quick as we
go ahead to break Yeah, are they are they busting
in protesters to go after the golf courses that use
like how many gallons of water on a daily basis?
Don't go away, Tom will continue we the People Convention
dot org, portagekiny teaparty dot com or org. I guess

(01:35:49):
as well, don't go away. We'll be right back with
uh with one more with Tom. So is that Low's
Camps the one you want to talk to mortgage related issues.
You want to buy a house, you want to get
some equity out of your house, anything related to mortgages, financing,
cash out, consolidate bills, reverse mortgages, if you're so inclined
fixed second mortgages. There's a multitude of things that relate
to mortgages, and you are working with the best. You

(01:36:10):
will love working with Susette Low's Camp. She's just this sweet,
very knowledgeable person with like forty years in the mortgage business,
which I say that in fight. It's so hard to
believe she's been around that long. Just a wonderful human
being and quick in terms of turning things around. She
acts very quickly. She'll get an answer to your question.
It's always great rates at a low cost when it
comes to Susette Low's camp, So refinance that higher interest

(01:36:32):
rate mortgage. And I don't know where the interest rates are,
but that's a possibility as well. And if you want
to get with someone quickly call her right now. She
leave a message to get right back with you, or
send her an email so to do the former. It's
five to one three three one three fifty one seventy
six any state in the Union. If you're hearing me,
like Mississippi, James, I know you're in the neighborhood now,
but if you're in Mississippi, you can call her for
your Mississippi related mortgage issues. Five one three three to

(01:36:55):
one three fifty one seventy six Online center email Suzette
dot loscamp which is with a k L O S
E KA MP Sozet dot Low's Camp at CCM dot com.
Fifty five The talkstation getting a little the talk station.

(01:37:18):
It is seven to fifty one I think if I
have care see talkstation Tom Zawastowski. Either people can mention
dot org Portage County for the meeting is gonna be
talking about the data center. They're gonna bus send people
from outside the area to scream about Portage County maybe
getting a data center to try to stop it from happening.
You know, they mentioned the water usage, and of course
you defeated that putting out at the closed loop system.
Maybe they'll use three thousand gallons. But I mentioned golf courses.

(01:37:41):
I looked up Portage County, Ohio. There are ten to
twelve primary golf courses from public to exclusive country clubs
tom in Portage County alone, and according to my Internet search,
the average American golf course uses roughly three hundred and
twelve thousand gallons of water daily for irrigation. No complaining

(01:38:01):
about that.

Speaker 5 (01:38:02):
Fact, yeah, no complaining about that. Right Again, this is
manufactured that. This is what is hard for the average citizen.
Now thinks people actually tell the truth, and they want
to believe quote unquote what they think is the news,
and god forbid, they actually want to believe what they
see on social media. But it's just a fact that

(01:38:23):
the war is between the United States and China. The
rush to win the AI you know, race is between
US and China. And if you listen to the Glenn
Beck piece again, it's Porsche County. Teaparty dot Com is
the website where I'm kind of putting all this together.

Speaker 11 (01:38:40):
You can watch the Glen Neck video.

Speaker 5 (01:38:41):
It's it's nine minutes and thirty seconds. He agrees with
all you guys who are mad about the data centers.
He agrees it shouldn't raise our elector rais, it shouldn't
use our water and all that. But then he says,
you know, you got to make a good deal because
we want to build them. We don't want the Chinese
building them. We want to control our future, not be
controlled by the communist Chinese. I know people are listening

(01:39:05):
to this going come on, you know, China is not
that big of a threat, folks. Just do the research, okay,
And so you have this conversation, educate yourself. Thank you
for you. You know, Brian, this show is so important
because where else are you hearing this discussion? Where else
are you're hearing the other side of the story. I
did a poll in sailors though, Okay about you're getting

(01:39:27):
ready for this meeting to see how bad our situation was.
Eighty seven percent of the people polled said they were
against the data center when they didn't know anything about it,
and the reasons they gave why they were against the
data center, ninety four percent of their reasons were false.
That's what I'm going into tonight. Okay, it's just misinformation

(01:39:48):
and disinformation. But your show and our website and other
people are trying to bring out some facts and some evidence.
And I asked people to look at the facts, not
at the emotion of you know, this is bad, no
to data centers. That's not the right answer. Listen to
the gun back video. Even listen to Mike the line

(01:40:10):
he's at that portgeguyt party dot com as well. He's
got a little piece he says, just make a good deal.
I agree that the money in Shalersville is unbelievable. Nothing
has come to Shalersville in the last twenty years that
will have the financial benefit that this one data center
will have, and that it will double their township budget. See,

(01:40:31):
and that's the question I wanted to end on. How
much revenue is this going to generate for Portage County.
It's not zero sum. It's going to bring in fat
bank for the residents there and they can spend that
money whatever they want, right right.

Speaker 11 (01:40:43):
And it's not they say, oh, it's not creating jobs.

Speaker 5 (01:40:46):
It's such a jobs. It's the property taxes. This place
will pay like thirteen million dollars a year in property
taxes to Portage County. The township budget will double from
four in one thousand to eight hundred thousand. The school
we'll see a fifty percent increase in revenue. Okay, that
isn't coming from your home property taxes. I think that's

(01:41:08):
a good thing. I think that's something we've been fighting for.
And if you do the research in Fair Practice County, Virginia,
which has more data centers than anywhere else in the
United States because of the CIA and people like that,
their property taxes have crashed because that data centers are
paying for everything. They're paying for the schools, they're paying for,

(01:41:29):
the police, the fire, they're paying for everything. Make a
good deal, make the data center pay for everything you
need in your community. That's what the Wine is saying,
that's what Beck is saying, That's what I'm saying, and.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
I agree with you the wholeheartedly. And again this is
not me wanting or embracing the concept of artificial intelligence.
But wake up, folks, it's here. We either get the
benefit of it we give it away to some other country. Period.
End of story.

Speaker 5 (01:41:54):
Tom.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
I appreciate you being around, appreciate what you do. We
either people convention dot org, and I wish you the
best of luck. Actually engage in a substantive debate about
these points with the crazy protesters once you ask them
where they're from, too. That'd be kind of curious to
find out. Ato sixth if anybot Kerr see de talk station.
It's Tuesday, and it's always made a better Tuesday because

(01:42:16):
we get to talk to Breitbart get the inside scoop,
and I always start by recommending Breitbart dot com, b
R E I T B A RT dot com where
you're gonna read what Francis Martel, who is the international editor,
Welcome back to the morning show. Francis. It's always a
pleasure having you on the show.

Speaker 8 (01:42:32):
Thanks so much for having me on.

Speaker 1 (01:42:34):
You know, Francis, maybe you have the inside scoop because
I'm looking high and low in every news site and
organization I can find. Apparently Trump already signed off on
this agreement with the Iranians, and the Iranians either scheduled
to or already have agreed that they're going to sign it,
perhaps on Friday. Uh, do you have any idea what
it says, Francis, because the text of the agreement is
suspiciously absent from media reporting and I really like to

(01:42:57):
know if we're gonna sign something, what's in it?

Speaker 9 (01:42:58):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:42:59):
I mean why that is been released?

Speaker 8 (01:43:02):
H Yeah, because they're going to have a big signing
ceremony on Friday, and so what the White House has
said is that they're going to release the full text
a little bit after that. I think it's really just
to have everyone's attention on Friday and to up the drama.
And it also kind of allows for some leeway if
anything goes wrong between here and Friday. But yes, it's
impressive that actually that the text hasn't leaked on either side, right,

(01:43:26):
the same Iranian state media but also the White House,
we haven't really seen. We've seen, you know, guesses, but
not really anything concrete where someone has looked to the text.

Speaker 1 (01:43:37):
Well, and that's funny because that maybe the only point
of absolute agreement in the United States and the Iranian
officials have right now is to not release the text.

Speaker 6 (01:43:44):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:43:45):
Well, you know what, when you're trying to negotiate with somebody,
always spring from a point of agreement. So at least
we've got that going for us. But the devil seems
to be massively in the details. As it's been widely reported,
the Straight of Horror Moves will be open, and I
guess that involves the Iranian promising to not bomb things,
going through the Strait of Horror moves and removal of
the minds, et cetera, but also us opening up their ports.

(01:44:06):
So if we go there, then everything else needs to
be negotiated over what has been described as a sixty
day period, which be nuclear weapons, the missile program, and
the whole idea of will the Iranians be charged? It's
not tolls anymore, Francis, it's fees. So there's a huge
difference enter the Ministry of Truth in George orwell so,

(01:44:28):
I mean, I guess I'm just struggling to see. This
sounds like an extension of the cease fire that we
apparently have been in with the Iranians for months, although
we do still blow each other up from time to
time ignoring that. But is there really much more than
that other than getting the straight open to provide some
economic relief to the United States and the price of
gas and the rest of the world and everything else

(01:44:49):
we need.

Speaker 8 (01:44:51):
That is the biggest part by far, And the thing
that actually gives me a little hope that this deal
won't be immediately broken is exactly how narrow it is.
The objective of the deal is essentially to remove all
third parties from being involved in this, right, and that
includes countries like China, like South Korea, like India that
have been really hurt economically tremendously by the Straight of

(01:45:15):
Hornmonos situation. So the goal of step one seems to
be stop hurting or involving countries that really have nothing
to do with this, particularly in East Asia, and then
we go from there. And that's what the sixty day
period is about, right, And so I do think that
we can at least hold to that, if only because

(01:45:37):
China has really been the most economically besides they'ran hurt
by the Straight of Hormoo situation. They're Iran's top oil clients.
They purchase a lot of natural gas and other fossil
fuels from the Gulf States. So China has really been
behind the scenes pressuring Iran and not so behind the scenes.
You know, chi Jin thinks personally made a call for

(01:46:00):
the straight of horm moves to open in a phone
call with the Crown Princes of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Vinsalman,
which is the most you know, the most insulting way
that you can sort of tell Iran to do something
is to use Saudi Arabia as the mediator. So China
has been vocally calling for this to stop, and Iran
really can't afford to lose the alliance with China because

(01:46:22):
that's the only country that both is big enough to
buy enough of their oil and also cares does not
care about US sanctions because you know, Russia doesn't care
about US sanctions either.

Speaker 11 (01:46:34):
Prosia has its own oil.

Speaker 8 (01:46:35):
They're not going to buy Iranian oil. So I think
that's really the leverage here that's going to make it
at least make this step work and take us to
a step two where global commerce is inaffected, gas prices
go down.

Speaker 1 (01:46:48):
Well, this sounds to me. I guess I have to
think about it. China and India have very substantial, substantial militaries.
They have a lot of military hardware, bombs and airplanes,
et cetera. If they really wanted this horror moves open,
and they wanted that future without having to pay the
Iranians a toll for every time a boat goes through,
you think they might want to step up and maybe
render a little assistance and just wipe the regime out

(01:47:11):
in order to open it up and not have to
worry about the Straight being closed someday in the future.
Because the Iranians know full well since they've got drones
and these little speedboats, they've been able to fend off
America's biggest military of the United States and prevent them
from opening up the Straight because we don't want to
lose all of our you know, aircraft carriers and alike.
And I get that. So they have a lever over
our heads that they never had before the epic Fury

(01:47:33):
thing even started. What's your take on that sort of analysis, Francis, Well,
you know.

Speaker 8 (01:47:39):
India and China are both allied with Iran through the
Bricks Platform, which is basically an anti American coalition of
rogue states. You know, Russia's in there, but you've also
got actors like Brazil that are kind of you know,
neutral to anti American, and Bricks has essentially been completely
devastated by this war because the UA is also in bricks.

(01:48:01):
So this war was the first time that you had
two bricks countries actively bombing each other, which completely undermines
the point of bricks, which is that we're all going
to unite to destroy the United States and you know,
and American hegemony and all of that. So if things
are already bad enough for bricks, if China and India
started using their militaries actively against Iranian interests, I think

(01:48:23):
that would that would end bricks completely. And so nobody
wants to do that because ultimately, the long term point
of bricks is to have a global currency and to
undermine the United States, and those goals are bigger than
what's happening now. The other issue with those two countries
is they have very large militaries, but they're very large infantries.

(01:48:44):
The Indian navy and the Chinese navy are well behind
the American navy. You know, China's trying to build its
second aircraft carrier and they're you know, it's taking them forever,
and there's all these hurdles to it, and even their
their infantry. To be honest, you know, it's the biggest
one in the world, but they just constantly have problems
with poorly trained and not physically fit soldiers, and they're

(01:49:09):
trying to you know, they put all this work into
their education system to try to get their men to
be more fit so that they can fight in the military.
So they are, you know, two of the most formidable
militaries in the world by far, but they are also
like significantly behind a military like ours, or honestly even

(01:49:30):
like Ukraine's at this point, which has so much real world.

Speaker 1 (01:49:33):
Experience, wonderful response. You know, I've got to contemplate so
much more than just exist on its face. I just
keep thinking, Look, Iran's a thorn on everybody's side, obviously
causing problems for China and India. But China and India
like Iran being a thorn in our side, So they're
willing to deal with the harm caused by the regime
that they're friends with, even though it seems to me
they might have leverage over that regime to just stop

(01:49:55):
it and and and reopen the supplies that are not
going through anyhow a are we getting anything out of this? Ultimately?
Francis Martel from Breitbart, because I know a lot of
people are comparing this to like, Okay, this is just
another Barack Obama type agreement because fundamentally, for the last
since nineteen seventy nine, we can't trust the Iranians. I mean,
they have a religious perception that we are in fact

(01:50:16):
a satan, We are the great evil. They hate us
and want to eradicate us. Is there any reason to
believe that Iranians are going to honor anything that they
agree to in this down the road or are we
just setting ourselves up for a repeat of this at
some future point.

Speaker 8 (01:50:33):
Well, I think they have a lot more to lose
than we do. I think the thing that makes this
deal work and what distinguishes President Trump from President Obama,
is that Trump took out, you know, dozens of Iranian officials,
including the Supreme Leader. It just obliterated the top leadership
of the IRGC and of the Iranian government in general,

(01:50:55):
and at any given moment you could just do that again.
And he's really gone out of his way to kind
of establish his authority as a president who is willing
to make the hard decisions and just straight up kill people,
and has done that with Iran with more than any
other country, starting with Costemp Soleimani during his first term
in twenty twenty. Kasem Soleimani was arguably the world's most

(01:51:19):
dangerous terrorist, was the head of Iran's international terror operations,
and one air strike just took him out. And with that,
you know, the IRGC COUDS force has never really recovered.
It's become largely irrelevant to Iran's military because the mastermind
was taken out. So I think the Iranians know in
the back of their minds as much as they want

(01:51:41):
to push and they have this ultimate goal to destroy Israel,
to destroy the United States. It's a long term goal,
and they can't achieve that goal if Trump keeps killing
off their best minds. So that's what they have to lose.
It's not so much that this deal is going to
give us anything except for obviously better gas prices, and

(01:52:02):
you know, we're not at war, which is nice, but
it's that Iran has too much to lose to say
no to this deal.

Speaker 1 (01:52:07):
And see, that's the kind of leverage we have over
the Iranians, right now, sadly though, the political the politics
seep into this. This seems to be so much about
the November election an Americans' willingness to vote for something
that wouldn't necessarily be in their best interests i e.
Democrats and all that would go along with that, merely
because the price of gasolene's gone up seventy five cents. So,
you know, if we could hold out, if we could

(01:52:29):
suck it up and ignore the pain that we're feeling
at the pump and the other inflationary realities that go
along with it, we could keep the Iranian ports closed
and basically continues starving them to death. And if that
had to go on over time, I think ultimately would
win that battle of attrition.

Speaker 8 (01:52:45):
I agree with that the worst case scenario for us
is that a lot of Americans would suffer economically and
we would have we would get a fully democratic government.
But there is no there's no worst case scenario where
the constitution just ends the you know, the current American
regime is just completely destroyed and we just have a

(01:53:05):
new constitution. Whereas for Iran, the worst case scenario is that, right,
is that the current the status quo, the constitution and
all of the structures of the Raignan government collapse entirely.
And so again they have so much more to lose
than we do. That said, the big fear is here
that Iran is not Venezuela, where you have a group.

(01:53:28):
There's there's one Delsi Rodriguez in there that you can
grab and make interim president and start rebuilding around her.
Everyone is the leadership in Iran is a radical extremist
and there's no viable opposition to replace, right, there's no
you know there there's names that are thrown out there,
but it's people in exile. It's you know, figureheads that

(01:53:51):
look good on cable news but don't have real world
governing experience. And so the power vacuum situation is very real,
and that I think that's what's tying the White House's hands. Well,
we can't just go in there and take everybody out,
although we took out a lot of people, because you
don't want another Libya. You don't want a country with
ninety million people and a bunch of enriched uranium to

(01:54:12):
just have no leadership become paranalists. And that's something that
we have to take into consideration when we look at
the deal and we're like, well, why don't we just
take them all out? Well, you know, we can't just
leave a hole where the Iranian regime used to be.
And that also answers your question of you know, why
doesn't China or India just you know, go along with
taking out the people that are there. It's because we

(01:54:34):
don't know what comes next, right, I mean, they're in
the same boat that we are in that perspective.

Speaker 1 (01:54:39):
Well, and do you think hindsight's twenty twenty? But do
you think we underestimated the value of the religious fundamentalism?
I mean if there were, I mean I have to
suggest to people, if someone asks you to renounce your
faith in Jesus Christ or something, I think you'd be
pretty reluctant to do it, especially if you think the
foe that is being that is asking you to renounce
your faith is like Satan for example. I mean, they're

(01:55:01):
not willing to bend. They're willing to deal with tremendous pain,
economic pain, real pain, loss of infrastructure, whatever, because they
have a profound belief in the religion. It just doesn't
seem to me that they took that into consideration. Again,
if you try to liken it to a situation of Venezuela.
You knock off the leader there. It's not a religious
it's not a theocracy. It's just a guy leading the

(01:55:23):
country who's not there anymore. It's a totally different landscape
with the Iranians, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (01:55:28):
I think that's part of it. But I think the
part that is bigger even than that is personal salvation. Right,
you know what happens to these officials when the regime collapses.
If you look at the Iranian people, the Iranian people
hate their government, They absolutely hate it, and they hated it,
you know six months ago before the government killed thirty

(01:55:50):
to forty five thousand of them because they dare to
have peaceful protests. So there's no stepping down, there's no
ma little exit where you just go to a nice
jail like you hang out with pigd. You're like, they're
they're going to get the Kadafi ending and I think
that's really terrifying to them. And obviously the religious aspect
goes into that, where if you have a disgraceful death,

(01:56:13):
then you know, you don't get to Jana, right, you
don't get to the Islamic version of heaven. You don't
get the glory that comes with jihad if you're just
you know, killed by a mob, especially if there's God
forbid women in the mob. You know, then the that
plays into the survival instincts too. They aren't afraid to die,
but they are afraid to die dishonorably. And we've seen

(01:56:36):
that with many jihadists, from Isis to Hamas to Hasballah.
I mean, I love the stories of you know, the
Isis terrorists who ran away from the all female Kurdish
army because because if they got killed by a woman,
they couldn't go to heaven. So that is definitely part
of you know, part of the situation there and what
pushes their survival.

Speaker 1 (01:56:57):
In religion and the goofy rules that go along with
Francis Martel Brydburn, International Editor, Real quick here before we
part company, I have to ask you what of the
Iranian people does this not leave them basically where they
were if we understand the basic parameters of what might
happen down the road with this agreement because regime is
not changing, So is this a letdown for them?

Speaker 8 (01:57:18):
Well, you know, I don't know what else they would want,
right The alternative to this would be a full American
occupation Marshall Plan Japan style, and I don't think that
was ever happening. We're leaving them with no Ali Kamani,
We're leaving them with the elimination of dozens of their oppressors.
There's a new and greener class of oppressors that are there,

(01:57:41):
So if they want to try overthrowing these guys, I
think it would be easier than the last group that
we took out. So it's not nothing. But I'm sure
there are Armanians who are disappointed, who are hoping that
it would just be the end. But you know, it's
a massive country and that regime has been there for
fifty years, and we don't have We have neither the

(01:58:02):
capability nor the right to just decide to eliminate that regime.
That has to come from the Iranian people. They have
to find a leader, they have to organize around someone
who can run a government properly, and we.

Speaker 1 (01:58:15):
Can't do that for them, and we can't in a
ground war. Seems to be insurmountable challenge because look what
happened in Afghanistan. After decades they have the Russians tried it.
We tried it, and not as many people in as
much real estate, and still didn't seem to accomplish much
over time. Francis Martel leave me with that final thought
as we part company. Thank you so much for your time,
and I'll recommend my listeners week on fifty five KRC

(01:58:35):
the talk station A twenty nine Here fifty five KRCD
Talk station. It's Tuesday. It is that time of week.
We get the alliterative alliterative segment a speak Brian called
the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. You ca get your Daniel
Davis Deeve Dive regularly throughout the week. Wherever you get
your podcasts, we're fortunate to get his sage wisdom in
terms of things military on Tuesdays at this time. Retired

(01:58:56):
Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, Welcome back to the morning show,
sir right.

Speaker 2 (01:59:00):
Always a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:59:02):
Are you gotta say I told you so.

Speaker 11 (01:59:07):
Early?

Speaker 1 (01:59:07):
Now let me get providing the necessary context, because early on,
when people were enthused that this situation with Iran, the war,
the dropping of bombs, you know, the the beheading of
the regime was going to be akin to a Maduro
like operation, and you were saying, Nope, nope, not gonna happen.
He's a religious fundamentalist. It's not gonna happen. This is

(01:59:28):
not a similar operation you regularly and reminded us. It's
the size of two point four times the size of Texas,
lots of real estate there, and they have a lot
of missiles and drone technology, a lot of it that
we don't know about that will allow them to keep
the Straight of Horror Moves closed. Guess what you were right?
Our American military, with all its might, was not able

(01:59:49):
to open the strait of Horror moves on its own.
And I think that speaks volumes to the problems that
you told us about in earlier earlier on in our discussions,
you were right. If we could open the straight of
Horror moves, we would have done so by now. Have
I got that right?

Speaker 5 (02:00:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
Unfortunately, you do have it completely correct. Yeah, if we
could have, we would have done it, And if we
could do it now, we would still do it.

Speaker 6 (02:00:11):
We wouldn't be going after any kind of an agreement
of any nature at all, especially one where we don't
have all the leverage so we get to call the
shots and set the terms, and we.

Speaker 2 (02:00:21):
Just don't have it.

Speaker 6 (02:00:22):
And so Iran is very well aware of the leverage
they have and the inability that we have to take
our profound military power that we have, which is no kidding,
it is substantial, but for this task to try to
take a country and all the things you just mentioned there,
it's just not enough, no matter how much anybody may
wish it to be so.

Speaker 2 (02:00:42):
And so now we're face to face with that stark reality, and.

Speaker 6 (02:00:46):
We're gonna have to deal with something that, Brian, we
just haven't had to deal with in a generation, which
is that we don't just get to call the shots
and somebody else has leverage and we're.

Speaker 2 (02:00:54):
Gonna have to give something to get something.

Speaker 1 (02:00:57):
Well, I think this speaks volumes to about modern warfare,
does it not that a country like Iran, or literally
any country on the planet, how drug cartels use drones.
These drones have been a massive sea change in military operations.
A country like Iran with thousands of drones hidden away
in some small buildings and scattered about, can literally blow

(02:01:19):
up multi billion dollar ships floating around out there in
the straight up horror moves. I mean, that's a fact,
Jack isn't it.

Speaker 6 (02:01:26):
Yeah, And that's even one of the lesser issues here,
because it's not even though that the drones can hide
in buildings in everywhere, it's if they can hide underground.
And because Iran has had the foresight to perceive that
they would at some point being a war with the
United States, they spent the last twenty years building these
underground bunkers. And we just showed a graphic on our

(02:01:48):
show this past week of one specific of these underground
facilities called the yazz Yazd and it's got a graphic
that shows how it's under this huge mountain complex, under
multiple layers of shifting granite formations that have formed course
over millions of years.

Speaker 2 (02:02:06):
Is way below that.

Speaker 6 (02:02:07):
So it is a physical impossibility for even a nuclear
weapon to get at it. And that's where they have
at least thirty of these things that are operationally. According
to US intelligence, you just can't knock them out, especially
you can't just defeat it wrong with airpower loan. It's
a physical impossibility and unforcedly. Brian, part of my frustration
is that was well known ahead of time by our

(02:02:28):
military experts, buyer intelligence, and it just puzzles me why
we went ahead anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:02:33):
That's a legitimate question to ask, and I think another
legitimate question to asking, because you've got great inside resources.
Got to applaud you to that or for that. Donald
Trump has already signed on to this agreement, this MEMORANU
of understanding that's going to set the terms for us
over the next sixty days to literally negotiate the most
difficult components of whatever we can negotiate with Iranians. But
we're gonna apparently open up the straight We're gonna let

(02:02:55):
them use their ports. That part over with. Have you
read the agreement? I can't find it anywhere, Daniel Davis.

Speaker 6 (02:03:03):
Well, it hasn't been agreed or hasn't been rased anywhere
by the US.

Speaker 2 (02:03:06):
That's been the point of frustration.

Speaker 6 (02:03:08):
And I was just looking scanning just before we came
on the air here, and I'm talking about a lot
of President Trump's biggest allies and biggest supporters. There's a
lot of frustration because we keep talking about this deal
he signed that. He keeps telling everybody how it's better
than the Obama deal and it's incredible in all this,
but no details, none whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (02:03:27):
Meanwhile, the uranium side has released. What it says is
the text that both sides signed on.

Speaker 6 (02:03:33):
To an agreed and believe me, it is nothing like
what President pardon me, what President Trump is saying, and
it's got a lot. That's one of the reasons is
supporters are frustrated because they're saying, surely this is not
really the text. It's misinformation, right, because they say, until
you release it.

Speaker 2 (02:03:48):
We don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:03:50):
And this is the problem of it since this was announced,
is that you have the Ranian side with what their
version is, and if their version is rot it is
a profound strategic.

Speaker 2 (02:04:00):
Failure and loss for us.

Speaker 6 (02:04:02):
And it's hard to imagine President Trump signed on one
of those things. And the alternative is is that later
on President Trump says, here's my version, and it's different,
and then we don't have an agreement at all. So
there's gonna be some fireworks. Let me just say, one
way or another, there's gonna be fireworks when President Trump
finally releases what he says is the mutually agreed decision

(02:04:23):
either in a run or on our side, because I
just don't see how those things work together.

Speaker 1 (02:04:28):
Well and the conflicting information we're getting on the Trump
so I we're saying there's not gonna be any tolls.
The Orionians, I think, are calling them fees now, so
we have some manical nonsense going on in there. But
they're going to insist on charging boats to get through.
That's a situation that didn't exist before the bomb started
dropping on Iran. Now I kind of scratched my head
over that. Donald Trump says, We're not nobody's gonna be
paying any fees or tolls or whatever you want protection

(02:04:51):
monies like I like to refer to it. But if
they insist on that, that's gonna be a real game changer.
I can't imagine him agreeing to that. But here's the
question I want to throw in there with that. They
you know, Trump and others keep referring to this window,
the sixty day window to negotiate all these finer, more
problematic points with the Iranians. I am certain, my guess

(02:05:14):
chie Leaf reading, they're gonna that'll be extended because the
devil's in the details, and they well, I'm sorry, we
couldn't hammered it out. Aren't we just trying to get
through the November election with relief on gas prices? Is
this really boiled down to that the American people don't
have the willpower to withstand a longer term battle of attrition.
We keep the ports in Iran shut down and keep
their economy on its knees over the long term, if

(02:05:36):
we could last that out, maybe we could win. Or
I mean that seems by our only option right now
is a long term keep them shut down strategy.

Speaker 6 (02:05:45):
Well, if that's all there was, if it was just
worried about keeping the Iranians side in pain and maybe
eventually they would succumb, that would be one thing, and
you could maybe go on a long term.

Speaker 2 (02:05:56):
We can't handle that.

Speaker 6 (02:05:57):
Our economy cannot handle sixty more days of the straight
up ward moves.

Speaker 2 (02:06:02):
Being closed out.

Speaker 6 (02:06:03):
I forget about it into November or anything longer than that.
And that's what Iran is calculating. They're well aware that
the pain from our blockad is profound. And I've talked
to a number of Iranian sources and every one of
them said, it is no joke.

Speaker 2 (02:06:16):
This is really hurting us.

Speaker 6 (02:06:17):
It's causing inflation, it's causing a lot of unemployment, a
lot of shortages of key like medicines and other kind
of things. They say it is serious, but they say
that we're used to that, we've done it before, we
can do it again. But we calculate you can't. That
the paint on you is too great. And you mentioned
in there about this issue about the charging tolls. I

(02:06:39):
Ran definitely says that's part of the agreement. We will
have the fees as we call them.

Speaker 2 (02:06:44):
The Iranians say that Trump is a greach.

Speaker 6 (02:06:46):
Is sowhere between ten and twelve billion dollars upfront releasing
of frozen funds.

Speaker 2 (02:06:51):
US says, no, we have it.

Speaker 6 (02:06:53):
The Iranian side has said you're going to give us
three hundred billion dollars in reparations.

Speaker 2 (02:06:56):
President Trump says, no, we're not. So those are profet
the incompatible.

Speaker 6 (02:07:02):
And then there's the biggest issue of all, and that's
the Israeli situation, because Israeli people are furious.

Speaker 2 (02:07:10):
Apparently that Yahoo's going.

Speaker 6 (02:07:12):
To be forced to stop operations to withdraw from Lebanon,
which they say is integral to their national security.

Speaker 2 (02:07:18):
And they say, we're not going to abide by that.

Speaker 6 (02:07:21):
If that's the term, because it's our national security. So
how does all this fit together?

Speaker 2 (02:07:25):
Brian?

Speaker 6 (02:07:26):
That's why I say there will be fireworks whenever Trump
finally releases whatever he says are the terms.

Speaker 1 (02:07:32):
Wow, there's so much to take in on that, and
none of it honestly looks very good. I just keep
going back. The price of gasoline obviously is really impacting
the American people aren't willing to deal with just the
increase in price of gasoline. But as you suggest, this
is a global issue that's straight is so vitally important
to the global economy, and maybe there's something to be

(02:07:53):
learned on that down the road. Perhaps in the future
we can do a workaround. Maybe we can get more
pipelines to get the oil out of there in ways
that don't require the strait of horror moves. Because Daniel Davis,
your audience know that at any moment in time, if
somebody rubs them the wrong way or they get whatever
objective they want to achieve, they get to shut it
down again.

Speaker 2 (02:08:13):
Yeah, you've broken the rubicon here.

Speaker 6 (02:08:15):
And this they thought about this, This has been a
concern for forty seven years that they could do this,
but they never did do it because they calculated the
cost would be too high or whatever. But once it
was thrust upon them, that was the only leverage they had.
But now then they've used it and they've seen.

Speaker 2 (02:08:30):
How successful it is and how we can't force it out.

Speaker 6 (02:08:33):
I guarantee you that if they get rubbed the wrong way,
that will be not far from their mind. That will
be like right up front. So we're in a new
age here, and something's gonna have to be different. But
it's going to be many years before we can get
to those workarounds. But we got to get this deal
solved first.

Speaker 1 (02:08:49):
Okay, fair enough, Now the other component I want to
talk with you real briefly about Daniel Davis, the China
and India issue. Now, as I understand it, China has
a vested interest with keeping your Iran regime. The Indians
they're happy with the Irani regime as well, because of
course there are thorns in the United States side. But
they've also they're probably being hit harder than anybody else

(02:09:09):
as I've learned China, for example, with the stoppage of
the flow of oil out of Iran. It seems to me,
why don't they have some vested interest in maybe wiping
out the regime themselves or otherwise convincing the Iranians that
it's important for them to stop this nonsense. So they
can get their oil and we can return to some
regular order.

Speaker 6 (02:09:28):
Well, let me tell you about what the Chinese have done,
because they also have foreseen this possibility, and they had
a massive strategic petroleum reserves. I forget the numbers that
ours are, but theirs are are like five times larger
than ours are. So what they have done is nobody
expected to do. Which is why the lid's been kept
on are somewhere even close to one hundred dollars a

(02:09:48):
barrel since it started. Is because they have started importing
like five million barrels of oil per day less than
they did before, choosing instead to draw down their petroleum reserve.
They had so much because they bought at a very
very low price, so their calculation is, hey, let's just
use that for now instead of paying this higher price
we would get on the open market. Well, that has

(02:10:10):
helped all of us because now then this otherwise like
twenty million barrel to day shortfall that would have happened
has been reduced to about fifteen. And then you have
demand destruction in other places and the some of stuff
going on in India and Indonesia, in South Korea, Japan
where they're already cutting back so all that together has
kind of kept the lid on. But if China decides

(02:10:32):
we're not going to do that anymore, We're not going
to draw that down now, then where everybody has some
huge spike in global oil process because there's just not
enough supply. But there's a limit to how far China
can go on that, as there is these other kinds
of things as well. And so I think that as
I'm reading the Tvas, so to speak, Johina is saying,
all right, we're going to go a pretty good period

(02:10:53):
of time on this, but then there's going to have
to be something done. And I think they have calculated
the damage to American prestiges worth the draw down here
because Trump is out there flapping in the wind and
Shina can actually say, hey, we've been trying to help out.
You know, we're trying to you know, do you guys
have favor here? But that's got a limit and it
won't put pressure on Iran. They'll put pressure on us

(02:11:15):
alone with all these other people that are suffering, like
in Europe, Black and Asia, like in Africa. So I
think that their calculation is it's going to be putting
more pressure.

Speaker 1 (02:11:24):
On us, not less truly appreciate your analysis on this
as I have from well since we've been talking together
on all matters, and you've been prescient on the whole thing,
and I applaud you for your accuracy of information. As
bad as the news is, you've been a cold water
