Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Folks, we are uncovering truth here Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton today at noon, which will result in lib tears
like fifty five k r C the talk station, five

(00:21):
oh five, fifty five k r C the talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
You want to say, I'm gonna sniff you after this meeting.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I gonna miss him when he's gone. Joe starting off
on the right foot, appreciate that one very happy Wednesday,
the right I was here, hosted the fifty five Cassy
Morning Show and of course man with his finger on
the various sound bites. Joe Strecker, executive producer of the
fifty five Carricity Morning Show. Appreciate what Joe does and

(01:08):
I'd appreciate seeing you today. We're gonna be a listener.
Launches another reminder High Green Breweries brent Wood brew Pub
right off for Ragan and went and really easy to
get to if it's somewhere near where you are, but
don't have to worry about navigating the roads. Looks like
they got most things taken care of. Although I saw
a local article maybe get to at the bottom of
the Iron or bottom of the Iron local news residents

(01:31):
of Mount Adam is not real thrilled the fact that
they're not plowing the streets up there. Feel sorry for
everybody up there. But the argument from the city is that, well,
there's no place to put the snow in the narrow street,
the dead end streets, you know, people parking on the streets.
Of course, if you can't get the trucks down and
plow the snow, and if there's so much snow on

(01:53):
the ground that it piles up and there's no place
to pile it up, then that's where you face the problem.
So at least in my experience driving yesterday and today,
most of the roads that I was on pretty passable,
no issues whatsoever. And of course the expressways uh look
dry as well as snow free this morning at least
seventy one. That's the only one I can comment on.

(02:15):
So regardless, please be careful out there. Coming up at
fifty five KREC Morning Show an edition to your phone calls.
You know I love hearing from you, so don't hesitate
to call if you got a comment, some story you
want to talk about. Five one, three, seven, four nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
talk found five fifty on your at and t phones.
It's Wednesday, it's a new year, but that doesn't mean
the year has changed. We got the big picture with

(02:36):
Jack Avid, and he's going to be on at seven
oh five the subject rocking like it's seventeen eighty nine.
He is quite the historian, Jack advident, brilliant man. Love
his commentary and I really enjoy his friendship and love
having him on the fifty five Carcee Morning Show. Be
around at seven oh five for that. If you can't
fifty five care see dot com is a place. And

(02:58):
I am still the side myself, and I guess not
so much disbelief, but but just sad disappointment. After my
conversation with retired Congressman brad Winstrop yesterday the COVID nineteen
report released five hundred plus pages worth, and just how
we were duped and lied to and all what I

(03:20):
would call the nefarious actions of our government working with
these camaras and and and gain of function research and
hiding it from from really anybody had had any regulatory oversight.
And it the lies from doctor Fauci, and it just
on and on and on, and the and the motivations

(03:41):
and the reasons Chinese didn't want to, you know, look
like they were doing anything nefarious. It would be bad
for international press and people would look down and those
the Chinese Communist Party. But the fact that they're working
on these bio weapons and the way they modify these viruses,
that they can literally modify a virus to attack someone

(04:03):
based upon their genetics. And this is where you got
to get really freaked out, because there have been a
lot of hacks of you know, the the very like
twenty three in me. I don't know why that one
immediately comes to mind. There are other you know, ancestral
you know, we'll test your genetics and tell you where
you fall into the you know, the categories in terms
of you know, what ethnicities or rasis or where your

(04:27):
ancestors came from. But that's your DNA, man, And if
they got the DNA, then they can certainly modify some
virus to attack you specifically. Which is exactly how they
modify that, well, not exactly. Don't know. I'm not a doctor,
and I don't play one on TV or radio, but
in all my conversations with OHC over the years, the

(04:49):
way they modify these cancer treatments, they are using your
specific type of cancer by extracting the you know, the
DNA or replicating it in a lab and using your
bodies own biologics to create a bespoke cancer treatment. It's
a genetic thing. It's based upon your DNA, and it

(05:11):
attacks the cancer and it kills. It's wildly successful and
more and more options for folks out there struggling with
cancer along these lines. Well, it's the same kind of thing,
you know, if you had Adolf Hitler, as I got
an interesting article from Byron York I want to read

(05:31):
here in a moment. But if you're Adolf Hitler and
you're running the Chinese Communist Party, think of a Chinese
Adolf Hitler. If you can imagine that, and you're interested
in exterminating the Jews, that is a specific genetic marker.
You could create one of these in a lab that
would kill Jewish people. Pick another ethnicity, go ahead. Does

(05:53):
it matter one way or another for the idea that
these things are out there, and that these evil Joseph
Mengela like pipes squirreled away in some laboratory creating whole
cloth nightmare scenario type viruses that could be unleashed, whether
intentionally or inadvertently just because they're tinkering with them. But

(06:17):
if you get a chance to hear Congress with Winsor,
I strongly encourage her. I think it's well worth maybe
the hour of time it'll take. He was on for
one full hour plus a half, started at six point thirty,
and we continue the conversation throughout the seven o'clock hour.
Time Wise, it doesn't add up to an hour and
a half. But it's I don't know, and you know,
we barely I would argue, barely scratch the surface on that.

(06:42):
He encouraged people to go ahead, get the document and
read it. It's all broken down by topic. You can
move it directly to whatever particular topic you're looking for.
It's got footnotes, it's got quotes, it's got the original
emails and back and forth behind the scenes where these officials,
these so called officials were, I mean intentionally, I think

(07:03):
you're breaking the law when you go outside of the
parameters of government, and when you're doing government work, you're
supposed to do it on government US servers and use
the government's email. That way, you and I, someday down
the road can be you know, sort of mindful of
and look at and understand what was going on compliments
of the United States taxpayer dollar. But in their efforts

(07:24):
to hide what they were doing, they moved off and
they went over and started using Gmail accounts just for
the purpose so they could delete it and they wouldn't
be subject to a FOIA request. Now, as an attorney,
I would argue, you know, freedom of Information Act request
that would include anything related to the subject matter of
the Freedom of Information Act requests, whether it's on a

(07:46):
government you know, approved required email server, or it's behind
the scenes, if it all deals with the same subject matter.
From my standpoint, and this may have been litigated, but
from my standpoint, if you're using a private email over
Hillary Clinton, you know you should have to produce that
as well, but you have to have knowledge that it's
even being used in the first place. You can just

(08:09):
deny it and say no, there's nothing else, okay. So anyway,
I just I want to say, it was kind of
feeling like I was walking around in a daze after
that conversation. So check it out. To the extent you
had any confidence or faith in your lords and masters
in the federal government up until now, probably those hopes

(08:31):
and those faiths will be dashed to some degree. I
didn't think my my cynicism and my skepticism about those
in DC and elsewhere working on our taxpayer dollars could
really drop much lower than it already had been. But well,

(08:52):
going back to the conversation with Brad Winster, yeah, they
did pretty significantly. So fifty five cares dot com for that. Also,
Daniel Davis Deep Dive. We took a look at the
pathetic reality what's going on between Ukraine and Russia, which
is typically a subject matter for him and Oliver Lane,
the brightbart London News editor, really just I expose on

(09:14):
another level frightening, frightening reality of all these lone wolf
terrorists out there, like the fill in the black sec
non compliant word guy drove the truck through the New
Orleans crowd. You know, if you take the government at
its word. I know, on the heels of what I
just said, but let's just assume for the sake of discussion,

(09:35):
like so many more of these incidents that have been
happening around the globe, there was just some random due
that had been influenced and sort of converted to some
radical ideology. Most of them all far leftists seeking to
shut down the wheels of capitalism and industry with their actions.
You mentioned the cable cutting that went on which totally

(09:59):
sh down the train system in France ahead of the
Olympic Games, which flew under a lot of people's radars.
He said, all you need is a bolt cutter, boom,
it's shut down. But that they aren't coordinated. You always
wonder how, you know, well, how come the FBI didn't
have this guy on his radar? How well you know
there's so much, millions and gazillions of terabytes of data

(10:20):
to flow around every single day. I find it hard
to believe that they really think they can get ahead
of and predict a crime. They've done it. But if
you're a dude and you're just sitting in your basement
reading Internet propaganda and you get radicalized and you're angry
and you want to do something about it, you don't

(10:40):
need to work with someone else. It's really easy. We
learn from Oliver yesterday, it's really easy to eat to
derail a train. And in fact, you know, going back
to the Anarchist Cookbook, there has so much information out
there for modern times on how to sabotage things like railroads.

(11:01):
It's all out there, and considering Facebook's new position on disinformation,
maybe there'll be even more of it out there. And
it didn't seem to me that there's really any way
for us to do anything about it. You got to
be vigilant, you got to be prepared, you got to
be in a position to defend yourself, and of course
be in a position to help out your fellow man

(11:22):
to the extent one of these incidents happened, but I
don't know. Rather, I opened a couple of segments there
yesterday on the Morning Show, so check it out. And
of course the big story this morning the raging wildfires
out in California. It's and I'm going to get the
statistic wrong, but he said, like the fires with the

(11:44):
wind and the dry conditions, they're expanding it but two
or three football fields a minute in terms of the
consumption of or the expansion of the fire, very very
very dry conditions and high winds. They're expecting winds gus

(12:05):
fifty eighty miles power and up to a one hundred
miles per hour around this fire. And from all reports
that I've read so far this morning, two hundred and
fifty firefighters so they're gonna need a lot more firefighters.
And also heard one account the water was not working.
There was no pressure for the firefighters to put out

(12:25):
the fires. So chaos absolutely, so prayers at minimums send
prayers and thoughts and love. And I'm sure that there's
going to be some fundraising going on. Even though I
know you don't like Los Angeles and the liberal idiots
that run the show out there, they are our fellow
Americans and they are worthy of any assistance we might

(12:46):
be able to give them. And even though they live,
some of them in Malibu, it's terrible tragedy. I see
Steves on thun Steam. I'm out of time. I got it.
I'll take your call right out of the gate if
you don't want to hold on just a minute. It's
five seventeen right now, fifty five k see talk station.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Fifty five KRC. Run a business and not thinking down.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Nine first warning weather forecasts mostly bud. The day to
day flour has remained possible. I have twenty four overnight
live three twenty two with mostly sunny skies tomorrow. Look
forward to seeing the sun five degrees overnight and cloudy
day on Friday, snow begins late morning and continues into
the night. Expect about one to three inches maybe four

(13:27):
high have thirty on Friday. Right now it's twenty one degrees.
If it's about car CD talk station here it is.
Let's say, Jay, you better queue of Los Angeles' burning
is already got it. You knew you did, just had
to check.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
Monday. Dain shout time for time down, dreaming up.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Web night.

Speaker 7 (14:18):
Candles.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
So many nights.

Speaker 7 (14:24):
We've been the time.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Quite literally. Five on three eight hundred two three found
by fifty on eighteen d phone Steve, Thanks so much
for holding over the brake. I appreciate your calling this book.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
Good morning. First thing answers a pick up on its
side on the overpass of.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Oh no, and uh slow lane.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
All the information you were talking about spend out the
whole time by other real resources. Yeah, it gets more
from what he taught, it gets worse. I worked at
a major hospital during the scandemic, and in the paperwork
they had hidden at the fact that then Jackson would
call could call it Marty heart problems and all the
stuff Black Claus and all the stuff it's out there,

(15:15):
and nobody paid attention, and they worried about football and basketball.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well, you know, now the other components need is there
was a lot of it out there, and I was
hearing Congress and Winster talk about all the findings and
all the conclusions they reached, and it's every single one
of them used to be a conspiracy theory peddled by
right wing nutcases. Remember back in twenty twenty, when when
Meta was still censoring information and denying this, and.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
And and and.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Just people were being made fun of, including doctor Fetchi
for suggesting ivermectin white might work, and oh lo and behold,
all the stuff that people were talking about there was
deemed conspiracy theory. Nut job stuff was the truth.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
But that's the thing is is one thing they could
maybe look at is to spend all news agencies broadcasts
a federal license because they hit the truth, pull their licenses,
examine their stuff, which is effect mostly liberal news. That's
one thing Trump could do.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Well just well, consider this list you hiding the truth,
That's one thing. And I would you know, throw a
red flag and and and and and suggest that maybe
you're on the right track on that. But I think
the vast majority of these news agencies were just blank
and lazy. They just repeated what someone else told them.

(16:34):
They didn't look for the truth.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
Look on look on YouTube compilation of news and uh
they say the same thing. Yeah, there's one of them.
So it's a script of act, right. I think it
comes out through the AP AP puts it out by whoever.
And that's what That's what everybody's script they follow every day.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's lazy, that's not that's not doing your own research.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
Well, that's that's people. That's not journalists. They're they're paid
to out a product. If you don't put out the product,
then when I pay you. So it just like the
doctors got fifty to seventy dollars a shot they administered
during COVID. They won't tell you that you have to
research that stuff. They had a financial gain in doing it.
I was front and center and saw it all. I

(17:16):
heard conversations because I went everywhere in maintenance. They knew,
they talked about it, and they regretted doing it. I
was there. I heard it.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah. Well, I'm not sure if pulling the plug on
licenses will do anything, but you know what I'm hoping
to suggestions at this point, Steve, I'm so sad and
disappointed at our elected officials, and more the bureaucracy behind
the scenes for pedaling this nonsense, and more fundamentally the
fact that US tax dollars went to tinker with this

(17:47):
unbelievably horrific Again Mangla like exercise, messing around with the
UH with these viruses and making them more susceptible for
humans to get.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
The first the first thing Rested did when they went
in Ukraine was went through the biolabins were funded by
US government. That was another part of brust the news.

Speaker 8 (18:07):
But once there's a lot of news out there because
they were all China. So do you know where heritage
and all the DNA when you look back, look up
your background, do you know where that information is sent
to if he processes that.

Speaker 6 (18:21):
Look into it. Don't believe me, I tell people, don't
believe me, read about it.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
No, I'll listen. I'll take that on face value. China's
got its its fingers in literally everything that is on
a computer. I'm just I've just written that off a
long time ago. Plus there's already been acknowledgements from I
can't remember which DNA company that they were hacked and
it was all stolen Chinese Communist Party at work. You
know what.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
Better, Like you said, what better way to uh target
certain cultures or people? Exactly if you already got their
dmdday people paid money, didn't have that happen to them,
like they're paying for taxes for Ukraine or all this
stuff that's happening. The Democrats just awarded a medal Toosoros
and Hillary at the same time.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
I know, I talked about that the other day. I
was just my mind was blown by that. Nobody's done
more to undermine the interest of the United States of
America than George Soris, and here he is getting the
nation's highest civilian award. I mean, you know, well, there's
a new sheriff in town, will be sworn in in
a couple of weeks here, and hopefully the tide will
turn to some degree. Trying to remain optimistic about that.

(19:24):
But look at everybody, look at it. Look at I mean,
all these billionaires who were so in the bag for
the Biden administration, who wanted Kamala Harris to win and
and were manipulating the information that we were allowed to
get and what we were able to see through their
various platforms. They're all changing their tune magically. I wonder
if Trump being elected overwhelmingly had anything to do with

(19:47):
this sudden shift of position and ideology. H maybe I
think they all realize that once Trump gets in and
if he allows these you know, committees and panels to
do their work and unfettered and get it's these organizations
who've been hiding intentionally refusing to hand over information that
these select committees and panels have been asking for now

(20:09):
for years. They have to start doing it. They're all
going to be exposed for the well we'll call them
just collectively mass murderers, that they are incompetent. Absolutely, Hopefully
we're in for a good old fashioned house cleaning. My
friend five twenty eight fifty five care C DE talk station,
heyn amsure, Gary's on the phone, gets your calling a
moment here, Hang on a second. I'll mention QC connects

(20:30):
who's maybe twenty twenty five is a year and you
can live without pain? That's right. Natural biologics from your
own body is what QC kinetics concentrates and uses, puts
them right there where the pain is. Knee pain, hit pain,
shoulder pain, that kind of thing, arthritis pain. QC kinetics.
It's ortho biologic treatments. They actually have treated tens of

(20:50):
thousands of people and well it's worked. So if you're
using steroids and getting the shots and maybe pain medications,
and you're doctors already mentioned surgery, you're like, hmmm, isn't
there something else I can turn to? Yeah, call for
a free consultation, find out if QC kinetics and do
something for you. It's easy to do. So make this

(21:12):
year the year without paying five one three eight four
seven zero zero one nine five one three eighty four
seven zero zero one nine. That's five one three eight
four seven zero zero one nine.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Fifty five KRC thirty one.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Happy Wednesday. Listener to lunch op Seed, High Green Brewery,
Brentwood Group Up. Listen to lunch first for twenty twenty five.
Go to phones were quick. I got new Campsure Gary
on the line. Hey Gary, how you doing today?

Speaker 9 (21:37):
Good morning, Brian. I thought i'd strengthened your belief in
government a little bit more. Okay, Yeah, the first band round,
I heard about this about Afghanistan. They got from Blink
and that we were sending checks for ten million dollars
a week to the Taliban in Afghanistan after the withdrawal.
So that's been what three years, two years, and now

(22:02):
I'm starting I read an article in depth. Now they're
starting to say that, well, it was more like forty
million a week to.

Speaker 10 (22:10):
Eighty million a week.

Speaker 11 (22:11):
And there was actually where we did clerical errors. They
sent them two hundred and fifty million a.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Week, those pesty clerical errors.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
But dog gone it.

Speaker 11 (22:22):
I just hate when that happens, you know, and you
think about this and the deficit, and we're.

Speaker 10 (22:30):
Not going to make it like this. We're not. It's
just our grandkids are not going to make it this way,
you know.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Well, I see the writing has been on the wall
for that for quite some time. I mean again, we're
with the CBO just recently released its report on it.
We're going to burn through an additional two point one
trillion additional deficit debt dollars every year for the next
ten years, and it goes on beyond that. It's just
the CBO doesn't calculate anything out beyond ten years for
reasons unknown to me. But I mean that's a bleak

(22:59):
picture right there. We're already paying nine hundred billion dollars
annually to service the debt.

Speaker 11 (23:05):
I mean, can you imagine what that figure comes up
with the Government's got a good solution if we just
get on the digital dollar everything.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
Oh god, hey you can just add zero. Yeah, that
that'll work. Jeez, that's the stuff nightmares and rita Right there,
my friend.

Speaker 11 (23:22):
I was just saying they had one nightmare on top
of another. It's I want to wake up.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah you know I did too. I've commented many times
over the years. I feel like I woke up in
some other worldly unstable planet circular remulac and some salvag
or Dolli version of the country I was born in. Yeah,
it's uh, it's frightening stuff. So appreciate you doubling down
this morning, Gary, making me feel even better.

Speaker 11 (23:49):
Hey, no problem, man, you.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
You do the same, You do the same anyhow, I
get one of the local stories in here. Since I
based software company pay Corp being acquired by Rochester, New
York based Paychecks Court announcement from the company Paychecks Paychecks
like pay Corps human capital management company providing technology and
software services for businesses. Pay Corps for itself specializes in

(24:13):
payroll and talent software is currently obviously the name has
the naming rights over at former Paul Brown Stadium court
announcement from Paychecks yesterday they are set to acquire pay
corps all cash transaction four point one billion with a
B dollars. They say the agreement's already been approved by
the boards of directors for both companies. According to Raoul

(24:37):
Villar Junior's CEO of Paycorn, press release, we believe this
transaction will create a great outcome from our clients and
key stakeholders, and we were very excited to be joining
paychecks for the next phase of our journey. We're confident
that our customers will benefit from the shared expertise, resources
and innovation. Okay. Conference call with Wall Street analysts yesterday,
Paycheck's officials told investors to expect eighty million in cost

(25:01):
savings from the merger of both companies. They didn't offer
any detail on whether jobs will be lost from those
cost savings, but if I was a betting man, that's
what I would guess. It's five thirty five right now,
if you five k see the talk station covers sincey
and I'm pulling up my email from Jeff Jeff. Good
morning Jeff and the crew at Marcon who are enjoying

(25:22):
the benefits of better medical insurance coverage from thank you
John Rowman and the team that covers since he read
it yesterday, they're just so happy, he said, you go
ahead use me cover since he's been a smashing success,
he said. He said, we just went to Kroger, got
a couple of scripts, got a couple for his wife. Zero.

(25:43):
He said he had to recheck it to make sure.
He didn't believe his own eyes. He said, my other
employees have had similar experiences. Should have made this switch
long ago. Well, he took my advice. And it's simple.
It doesn't bind you or obligate you to do anything.
Merely call the team it covers since or initiate the
conversation by filling out a form online it covers since

(26:03):
he dot com. Whether you're an individual and you're paying
way too much, you think you're paying too much for
medical insurance, or you're a small group like the crew
at mark On. It's mind blowing what the team that
covers since he can do. And the cool thing about
it is, again, you don't have to pay for this service.
They are your broker. They work with hundreds of insurance companies,
thousands of medical insurance policies which allows them to individually

(26:26):
and they will look at each of your employees or
you specifically where you are in your life, what you
needs are that kind of thing. To prefer a package
of various different policies. Well, to take the sting out
of medical coverage, you pay less money. Some people saving
sixty percent with better coverage and dollar one coverage. So
put them to the test. Get in touch with them

(26:48):
five one three eight hundred call five one three eight
hundred two to two five five again online. You can
fill the form out at cover since he dot com.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
Fifty five krc.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Wow twenty twenty four. Come up at five forty one
fifty care c detalk station, looking up at the phones
five with three seven fifty five two three talking man.
I hope I'm seeing today and hopefully beating in our
monthly cribbage game, Cribbage Mike, my submarine or friend. Welcome back, Good.

Speaker 10 (27:14):
Morning, my friend. And actually, with the temperature being what
it is, I'll finally be able to wear my birthday
present from my lovely bride last year. It's my Cribbage
Mike hoodie sweatshirt. So I'm giving you fair warning right now.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
We're definitely gonna have to get a picture of us
together with you wearing that.

Speaker 10 (27:33):
Hey, the first day that I'm a slope, the next
day I'm a snow cloud driver will be the first.
And I am not blaming the snow cloud drivers whatsoever.
I'm putting this right at the feet of the administrators
of the managers of the City of Cincinnati. I commute
in from Amelia down to the casino downtown and Monday
morning at three am, when I got down there, I
couldmute on roads that are covered by Pierce Township, O

(27:54):
Dot and Kentucky. As soon as I got across that
big Mac bridge, it was like it was once again
in a third world country. And those the roads down
there are just and we're not talking side streets, we're
talking Reading Road and Gilbert Avenue. They had not they
could not have been touched, or if they did, it
was right when the snow started. And it's times like this,
and granted, like you always said, it's not about the

(28:14):
shiny things, it's the basic services that the city needs
to provide. The casino was coming up on our twelfth anniversary,
so that's one hundred and forty four months over somewhere
between eleven and thirteen hundred employees playing city tax. But
even more so, of all the revenue that the four
casinos send a Columbus, fifty four percent of that gets
divided amongst the eighty eight counties, but five percent of

(28:37):
that goes to the actual host cities, obviously Cincinnati being
one Columbus Toledo in Cleveland. So I would love to
let Adam Kaylor and Todds In's er loos on a
road City of Cincinnati doge to find out where are
those millions of dollars over the past twelve years.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I applaud that suggestion. That would be wonderful. There own
Viva Grammar Swimming and Elon Musk. That would be fantastic,
and they would do a great job if they only
had access to the records that they would need to
look into the expenditures. Sadly, I doubt the City of
Cincinnati would comply with that.

Speaker 10 (29:11):
No.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Sure, well, I'm glad you're able to make it into work,
and they did. A lot of people show up at
the hard Rock to get some free coffee on Monday.

Speaker 10 (29:20):
We had our regulars, and a lot of those were
the overnighters from Sunday but yeah, some people just need
their fix and God bless them.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah. Well, I appreciate the call Cribbage Mike. I agree
with your suggestion, and I'll look forward to getting my
butt kicked the cribbage today at listener lunch. If you
want to meet cribbage Mike, show up at High Green
Brentwood Brewpub today for a listener lunch. I'll see in
a few hours there. Buddy. Over to local stories here,
two men found We're going to do an early I

(29:50):
heard media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe segment here. Two men
found dead inside the landing gear compartment of a Jet
Blue airplane in South Florida after a flat arrive from
New York's City. Happened late Monday. The discovery made at
Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport during a routine post flight
maintenance inspection. That's the court of the statement from the company.

(30:10):
At this time. They said the identities and the individuals
in the circumstances surrounding how they accessed the aircraft were
made under investigation definitely with the Broward County Sheriff's Office
showed up at eleven thirty pm and pronounced both of
them dead. At the scene. Identities again unknown. BSS spokesperson
Carrie Codd said the deceased were both men. God told

(30:31):
reporters the news conference certainly is heartbreaking in a very
tragic situation. I guess on some level Broward County Medical
Examiner's Office going to be doing the autopies to figure
out the cause of death. I would say it's probably
high altitude, frozen conditions and lack of oxygen just going
on in a limb on that one. Aircraft originated from Kingston, Jamaica,

(30:52):
before stopping off of JFK Salt Lake City International Airport
JFK again then Fort Lauderdale. Not clear where the people
got onto the aircraft. That also remains under investigation. THESO
deputies and medical examiners could be seen outside the airport
investigating the deaths. The airport said there are no impacts
to operations due to the incident. Let me strongly suggest

(31:16):
don't do that. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Yeah, chimneycare,
fireplace and stove, definitely do that. Ah, Yes, it's cold
on I bet you built the fire in the fireplace,
or at least in my situation, thanks to the Chimneycare
Fireplace and stove. Pressed the button on the remote which

(31:39):
operates the fireplace, adjusts the flames automatically, the lights. It's
this awesome. I love that thing and I've got that
because my inspection Chimneycare Fireplace and stove inspection I had
actually as the owner came over, Jeff Keifer. He's a
hell of a great guy. Been doing this since nineteen
eighty eight. But my old builder special fireplace insert was

(32:01):
a fire hazard. It didn't allow proper venting the heat
built up behind it, and that present a bit of
a problem. So out went the old in the new
beautiful fireplace insert. Absolutely love it. We're going back quite
a few years though, but it's just an awesome thing
to use, very convenient.

Speaker 12 (32:16):
Now.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
If you're a wood burner, you gotta worry about chrioslap
build up in your fireplace, chimney flu so have them inspected.
It starts with a video camera inspection to the extent
it needs to be swept, Certified chimney sweeps will take
care of it. You need tuck pointing done, cap and
damper replacement. I'm saying literally, anything related to the concept
of a fire in some sort of firebox. Whether it's
a free standing stove or a selfie wood waste pellet stove,

(32:39):
it's the chimney Care fireplace and stove. Call for that inspection.
It's for your own good. And as I always point out,

among other things. Just said save that for the overnight show.

(33:23):
Uh there's a reason I just made that statement. We'll
just move on, though. We go to Los Angeles where
a man was trying to get home from a Phoenix
metro area gut himself well in a bit of a problem.
He took a weaymo to the airport and as described
in the article, weimo's are autonomous vehicle. So you know,
it's like a lift or an uber. You know, you
work the Waymo app and it shows up with no

(33:43):
driver and it takes to your destination. Mike Johns posts
the video he filmed while in this autonomous vehicle in Scottsdale, Arizona. Okay,
why is this happening to me? On a Monday? He said,
I'm in a Weimo car and this car is just
going in circles. Yeah, I was just driving around the

(34:03):
parking lot. He couldn't get out, it wouldn't stop. So
in the video of the car could be heard connecting
to Waymo's support for assistance. Customer support agent can be
heard telling John's I received notification that your car might
be experiencing some routing issue. He responded, I've got a
flight to catch. Why is this thing going in a circle.

(34:23):
I'm getting dizzy, and then explains to the agent and
he has a seatbelt on and he can't get out
of the car. He said, has this been hacked? What's
going on? I feel like I'm in the movies. Is
somebody playing a joke on me? It's incident at see,
I gotta deal with the random comments of Joe Strecker

(34:44):
big Ben Parliament going back to European vacation for those
not in and out anyway. It happened December ninth. WIMO
told Fox Business that they did a subsequent software update
to address the issue. Oh good, email said John's delayed
by about five minutes. Vehicle was able to take him
to his destination after the writers' support team successfully stopped

(35:07):
the car from circling. I don't know if I don't
want to continue on that journey anyway. John shared the
video on social media. He wrote, Ramo's customer service he
is automated and run by AI. WEIMO said the attempted
to contact and left the voicemail for follow up. John's
also not charged for the Waymo trip. Oh wasn't that
nice of them? He said? From now on, he said,

(35:28):
he's going to keep it old fashioned and just lift
or uber from now on. Let's see here we go
to Sarasota, Florida, where a police said a woman tried
to flirt her way out of a DUI arrest, all

(35:49):
of course captured on body camera footage. Twenty two year
old Sophia Ross, according to officers, pulled over in November
after stopping at green lights and striking several curbs. Her
interactions with the Sarasota Police shown on the body camera.
Police said Ross was moving slowly, slurring her words, and

(36:10):
acting lethargic after she got out of the vehicle, and
the report says Ross admitted to the officer she'd been
drinking at a bar before being pulled over. Police said
Ross was acting unusually and attempted to kiss the officer
during the traffic stop. Arrested charge of DUI. According to
the report, fright one may argue it's worth a shot.

(36:36):
And m Cooley, mother of Michael Eddington's slain wife, her
name Sidney Palmer. Sidney Palmer shot to death by Michael
Eddington last year in Kansas during a domestics dispute, tore
into her son in law at his sentencing. They believe
it was last week anyway, recent sentencing, telling him she

(36:59):
loved you and detailing the ways that he tormented Palmer's
family after her murder. With disturbing acts, Cooley said her
first conversation with the murderer Eddington after Palmer's death, she said,
the first thing you asked me for is the PlayStation?

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Well, what the hell?

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Here's your PlayStation, she told Eddington put in the video
game console on a bench close to where she was
sitting in court. Twenty five year old Palmer, fighting with
Edkin on July third, before her death, allegedly threw a
four point zero four ounce concrete figure at his head.
Corney police quote, I could see he had a bump

(37:41):
on his forehead corner, the responding officer in the incident report.
Eddington's response. He shot her with a nine millimeter pistol,
he said during his sentencing. During I can't believe he
only got five years for this second degree murder, he said.
I understand I did something wrong well, but he went on,

(38:01):
I do not feel I'm a threat to society anyway.
Maximum sentence according to the reporting here, along with thirty
six months of probation on top of the sixty one
months in prison. He's also going to be barred from
possessing firearms on a going forward basis. In addition to
asking for his PlayStation, you want to cut up the
award on this one. Eddington also disgusted Palmer's family with

(38:24):
an alleged decision to get remarried at the house he
shared with Palmer with the wedding ceremony, allegedly going inside
the home.

Your dreams have come.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
True, according to Slaveon woman's mother. According to her, Eddington
also known to allegedly litter and throw cigarettes out at
her grave site, doubling down on the qualifications for the
Biggest Douche Universe award. Got planned to talk about the

If you did not get a chance to listen to
Congressman a Form, sorry, retired Congressman Brad Winster go over
some of the more interesting and frightening points of the
COVID nineteen report that they brought out scary stuff. And

(41:05):
of course we had a conversation about the doctors being
told they can't do certain things in terms of the
practice of medicine. Oh, we've got a vaccine, now, no,
you can't go off label and use other things. Ivermectin
was one of them. And lo behold, we fast forward
to today we find out that actually that kind of
thing did work. There were other treatment methodologies. You didn't
need the vaccine. The vaccine didn't stop you from getting COVID,

(41:27):
and it didn't stop you from spreading it. And of
course we've now found out all the problems associated with
people who've got the vaccine, you know, the heart problems
and blood clotting and period issues for women, the mental stycle.
That kind of thing frightening stuff, and of course even
more frightening the fact that they were tinkering with these
viruses to make them more susceptible to being contracted by
human beings. It's just And remember all of this was

(41:51):
suppressed on social media. Oh look, Mark Zuckerberg's coming out
now and telling the world that, well, we're not going
to do that anymore. Quote. After Trump first got elected
in twenty sixteen, the legacy media wrote NonStop about how
misinformation was a threat to democracy. This is Zuckerberg. We
tried in good faith to address these concerns without becoming
the arbiters of truth. But fact checkers have just been

(42:15):
too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they created,
especially in the US. The funny thing about this is
one of the subcontracted agencies responsible for doing the fact
checking is responding to Mark Zuckerberg's comment about them being
too politically biased by fact checking themselves and denying it.

(42:39):
What political bias disappointed here? Mark Zuckerberg accused the organizations
and met as US third party fact checking program to
be too being too politically biased. So enjoy the circular
pleasure fest that's going on talking about that. And I
thought it was another a really great point made by

(43:01):
the New York Post editorial board. I don't do the
whole thing, but he said, listen, he can't heap all
the blame on faceless, nameless fact checkers headline don't let
Facebook off the hook for its pro censorship pass so
easily his own execs, with the ones deciding to ban
Donald Trump and cowts out of the FBI and other

(43:22):
forces within the Biden administration, the Justice Department specifically, which
pressured the company to silence accounts that posted content that
ran a foul of the democrats agenda, among which the
New York Posts reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop. You couldn't
get that through if you posted that article. When it
came out, nobody would see it. That was your fact

(43:46):
checkers taking it off, even though our own FBI behind
the scenes knew damn well that that Hunter Biden laptop
was absolutely authentic. And then they roll out those fifty
one intelligence agents to lie to you. And they knew
they lied to you when they signed their name to
that letter suggesting it was Russian disinformation. This is why

(44:06):
I'm so disappointed. Even they have more jaded cynicism toward
anybody elected capacity and of course the administrative state. Behind
the scenes, they write Zuck maybe a free speech warrior. Now,
back on twenty twenty, Facebook bragged about slapping fifty million
COVID related posts with a warning label, including posts suggesting

(44:27):
the virus was man made, a theory now back by
mountains of evidence, including the report that Congressman Weinster went
through yesterday on The Morning Show. In fact, right up
until Zuckerberg began feeling the heat from Congress over Facebook's
content moderation standards, it was treating censorship as a public good.
It wasn't suppressing free speech. It was just preventing misinformation

(44:50):
from spreading and keeping people safe from harmful conduct. So, anyway,
interesting observations that than this. Does anybody remember when Donald
Trump was a fascist?

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Remember hearing that.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Where did all the fascism talk go? Headline a op
ed piece byron Yorke found this at town Hall, and
just keep this kind of thing in mind. On Monday,
journalist Glenn Greenwall Sorry asked on X is there a
single person in DC or media acting as if literal

(45:34):
Adolf Hitler is about to assume power in two weeks
in order to end American democracy, install fascism, and create
a white supremacist dictatorship. Is it possible? Of those who
said this for years never believed it. You can answer
that for yourself. What the fact is the Donald Trump
transitions turning out to be quite normal, President of acts,

(45:54):
busy hammering out policy proposals, staffing his administration. Democrats are,
of course criticizing Trump I promising to give us some
give some of his nominees a hard time in confirmation hearings.
But that is the sort of thing one always sees
in transitions from one party to the other. What is
absent is the kind of ugly, fevered, frenzy, over the
top rhetoric about Trump that characterized the campaign. Remember Vice

(46:19):
President Kamala Harris called Trump of fascists. The former chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called Trump of fascists.
Media talkers such as Joe Scarborough Mike Brazinski called Trump
of fascist. Journalists and academics called Trump of fascists. For example,
headlines from the New York are quote, what does it
mean that Donald Trump is a fascist? Close quote the
Atlantic headline trump is speaking like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.

(46:44):
For a while, it seemed like everyone on the left,
with the podcast, TV show, ex Account, etc. Called Trump
of fascist. Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden became the
focus of nearly non stop discussion about fascism and Nazism
and the run up to the event, it was ly
commonplace for media commentators to compare the rally to the
infamous Nazi rally held at the Garden in nineteen thirty

(47:07):
nine Hillary Clinton Democratic candidate Trump defeated in twenty sixteen.
History remembers that told CNN that Trump would be quote
actually re enacting the Madison Square Garden rally in nineteen
thirty nine close quote. The fascist talk got so crazy
that ABC News conducted a poll asking voters whether the

(47:28):
twenty twenty four candidates were fascists. The result was forty
four percent of registered voters said Trump was a fascist,
eighteen percent Harris was a fascist, and five percent said
both were. Only thirty two percent of those survey gave
the obviously correct answer, which was that neither was a fascist.

(47:48):
And if you are still clinging to the notion that
any one of them was or is read the definition
of fascism, please in retrospect. Perhaps that was the moment
the poll was released on October twenty fifth, when the
fascist talk jumped the shark. If a large majority of

(48:09):
American voters called the major party candidate's fascist, and a
combined sixty seven percent said Trump, Harris or both were.
Then the concept of fascism has lost any meaning. It
was just talk. Maybe that's why the talk seemed to
disappear so quickly after the election, when Trump won not

(48:29):
only the electoral vote but the popular vote as well,
many looked back on the fascist moment of just a
week earlier and asked what was that all about. It
was about defeating Trump, of course, and when it didn't work,
it became an embarrassment, certainly for the most fervent fascism
talkers after the election. In just weeks after calling the

(48:53):
Madison Square Garden rally a Nazi like, Scarborough and Brazinski
traveled Tomorrow Lago for an audience with Trump. Afterward, they
said they wanted to, in their words, restart communications with
the incoming president as if he were a normal political
leader and not the fascis they said he was. Such
turnabouts were why Greenwald could look around and note that

(49:16):
nobody in official Washington is acting as if all those
dire predictions have come true. Instead, it's mostly business as usual.
Politicians and media figures are debating whether there should be
one big bill or two, whether tariff should apply to
this or that product, what border security measure will be
most effective. No one is acting as if literal Adolf

(49:39):
Hitler is about to assume power in two weeks in
order to end American democracy, install fascism, and create a
white supremacist dictatorship. Again, that's quotes from those idiots on
the left. The damage the fascist moment did to our
political discours is hard to measure at this point. Maybe
it will become clearer later, but we know that many

(50:00):
in media, government and academic circles hurt their own reputations
by losing their heads over trump My emphasis. They also
demonstrated the limits of their own influence. On Monday, radio
host Hugh hew had asked Trump about the effect the
election has had on the most dedicated anti Trump voices

(50:22):
in the media. Trump answered, I think they're disrespected. I
think they're not taken so seriously. They were totally opposed
to me. They were opposed to me at levels never
seen before, and I won Fire and York. Excellent points.

(50:44):
Keep that in mind when you're inclined to read the
parroting repeat. Going back to the caller in the last
hour the parroting repeated state comments over and over again.
I know every one of my listeners has seen the
various montages. You know, it was like, remember, gravita was
the word somebody's put out a talking point paper and
the next thing, you know, every talking head in the

(51:05):
mainstream media was talking about gravitas. It was Al Gore,
he's got gravitas?

Speaker 11 (51:10):
What?

Speaker 3 (51:11):
But literally, it's like every single time some issue comes up,
they're talking points are handed out by some Again I
struggle with the sec compliance at these moments, by some
person in the know, some you know, highly influential, high
place source, probably within the given administration. It goes out

(51:33):
to the mainstream media and they don't bother to do
their own research. They just read what's been handed to
them as it's the gospel, and they repeat it. And
you go from one channel to another, you're hearing the
same damn thing that's not reporting and of course is editorializing.
But they haven't looked behind the veneer of the statements
that they've been handed They just say them. And of

(51:54):
course somebody had it on a memo calling Donald Trump
a fascists, and they glombed onto that. It's no wonder
why many of these organizations are failing, And isn't it
interesting now that you know in the aftermath of Trump's selection,
Zuckerberg decides he's going to get rid of the so
called fact checkers. He's not the only one going down
that road six eighteen. If five cares these talks, they

(52:19):
should have got a couple of callers online looking forward
to talking to both of you guys. If I went

Speaker 15 (53:53):
Yes, sir, First of all, kudos to you and Joe.
I mean the show when the two of you are
together is amazing. It's amazing what somebody behind the scenes does.
I won't say to prop up, but to help support
the enhanced face of the There you go, Well, you
might get a phrasing on that, so you got to

(54:13):
watch out on that.

The word carry.

Speaker 15 (54:19):
Well, you know he yeah, you know, I don't. I
don't know maybe, so I mean.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
You know what, I will concede that idiot.

Speaker 15 (54:30):
And I'll tell you what I missed that. I missed you.
I mean, you're the voice. But I was so happy
you had your two weeks off and you were so
refreshed on Monday. I mean you could just hear it
in your voice. It was such a difference. So you
got to take your vacations, even though we miss you
and your your Your replacements are decent, but they're not.
They're not. It's your show. It's not you know whatever.

(54:52):
They do their best.

Speaker 16 (54:53):
But uh, just on.

Speaker 15 (54:55):
Trump and what the possibility is.

Speaker 10 (54:58):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (55:00):
I always thought the United States should take advantage of
the Western hemisphere to elevate everybody.

Speaker 16 (55:10):
I love that.

Speaker 15 (55:10):
My wife doesn't call it North and South America. It's
the Americas, and we should, in a European Union type way,
try to develop relationships with our neighbors. That would lift
everybody up and including the United States. So I've always thought,

(55:31):
I mean, our drug manufacturing should all be in Central America,
not in China. We could do so many things that
would make sense. But let me we just talk, you know.
Obviously the acquisition of Canada is just talk. Nothing seriously well,
but but it helped push the socialist prime minister out
of out of his position.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
The Terff conversations absolutely, the terroriffs that Trump was talking
about brought about by the former administration, I mean that
it had an obvious impact. I mean, the reality of
Trump being elected is I mean, it's crystal clear how
much of an impact it's that.

Speaker 15 (56:09):
But let's look at Greenland, and I've got cousins that
live in Denmark. My dad was Danish. I've been there
a couple of times. They're wonderful people, but they have
a different mindset. They have a socialist mindset. They can't
help it. It's ingrained in them. So when I go there,
I stay in their houses and it's just a different

(56:29):
way of thinking. But for the Danish Prime minister to
be indignant that Trump would suggest this, the United States
Virgin Islands were the Danish West Indies. They were purchased
from Denmark by the United States. So before you become
completely indignant that the United States would purchase any of

(56:53):
your territories overseas, you might want to look in your
history and see that you have sold them to the US.

Speaker 14 (56:59):
In the past.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
That's exactly true. But I mean the point being, they're
entitled to a say in the matter. And if they
chose to sell Greenland Lewis. You know, it's not like
Donald Trump's going to send the US military forces in
there to take it away.

Speaker 15 (57:12):
Absolutely, But if if, if you would look one hundred
years in the future, look at Alaska purchased from Russia. Yeah,
I mean, we don't need to stop acquiring territory. I
mean that would be monumental what that would do as
far as changing the world, you know, and you think, oh,
who cares about that? Just I mean, it could really

(57:35):
flip the world upside down in a very favorable way
to the United States. But I'm just glad he thinks
outside the box and he's not just you know, hey,
what's the blueprint? How do Okay, I'm president. What are
we supposed to do?

Speaker 17 (57:50):
Now?

Speaker 15 (57:50):
Oh, here's the here's the template. We'll give you the
one that the last guy had, and we'll just erase
the D and put an R on it. And so
at least you get somebody that thinks and does things differently.
And let's let's see what happens. And I'm excited about it.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
Well, you know what, why not engage in the conversation.
You know, you're not threatening anybody like you're just talking
about it, So see what happens. But to your point,
you mentioned the philosophy of the Norwegian socialism and going
back to your comment, but I wish we could all
work together so to COLLECTI we'd like the EU. That's
one of the problems with South America as this thing
from North America. There's a lot of socialism in South America.

(58:30):
There's a lot of corruption and a lot of corrupt governments.
Mexico is a prime example. They're practically, if not exclusively,
run by drug cartels that nobody has the wherewithal, or
ability or stamina to go after because well every politician
who tries gets murdered. So you have struggles with dealing
with sort of rogue nations. It makes it difficult to

(58:52):
play nicely together. But I don't mind it. I don't
disagree with the concept. It's just, you know, the reality is,
it's like buying Greenland. You got to have both sides
at the table that are interested in having a conversation
with you about it. Great to hear from you, Steven,
Thanks so much for the kind words at six twenty eight.
Right now, Bobby your next Mike after Bobby, if you
want to hold on just for a minute. I do

(59:13):
want to mention affordable medical affordable imaging services because I
don't want you to pay too much for an MRI,
CT scan, echo cardiogram or ultrasound. Now, I don't expect
you know, a lot of bells and whistles at affordable
imaging services. It's you know, it's a lean run operation,
but it's professionals operating the same kind of equipment to hospitals,
use same kind of MRI machines, et scan whatever they do,

(59:35):
the echo cardiograms, on ultrasounds, and it's just a mere
fraction of what the imaging departments at hospitals charge. They
charge thousands for any one of these, and you'll get
separate bills for contrasts and separate bills for the radiologists
report at Affordable Imaging Services. You know my favorite example
MRI that could set you back thirty five hundred four

(59:57):
thousand dollars at a hospital. If you get a contract MRI,
it's six hundred and forty five bucks. If you don't
need the contrast, it's only four hundred and ninety five bucks.
The price includes the radiologist report. I had a CT
scan gun there. My doctor was fine with it. Yep,
got the images. Look your cancer's back. Didn't like the news,
but you know it works and I saved a heapload

Let's start with Bobby, who's been kind enough to hoole Bobby,
Welcome to the program. Could hear from you today?

Speaker 16 (01:01:45):
Happy hump day, my brother. You had an awful good
crew at covered for you for the last two weeks.
You know, a lot of backup quarterbacks, two touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
They did real good. I'm glad. I really appreciate Kevin

a lot of comfort so I can sleep in and
not worry about it. Bobby.

Speaker 16 (01:02:06):
One thing I had about up in Columbus. You know,
our governor hasn't made a decision yet for JD's post,
but one thing that he's looking into, with support from
the rhino elitist out of Columbus, is COVID Queen Amy
to run for governor.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
Huh, well, I've already heard that John Houston has been
tapped to take the JD Van spot.

Speaker 16 (01:02:31):
Well, when they went down there to kiss the ring
that day, they were summoned. They didn't go on their own.
They were summoned to come down to Florida to go
ahead and listen to the you know speech.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
I understand, Bobby, I know where you're coming from in
your position. Does not shock me knowing you as I do. Great,
Happy New Year team, My brother always a pleasure man.
Who's next, Mike? Thankfully held Mike, thanks for holding on
the phone there. Welcome to the program by.

Speaker 10 (01:03:00):
Brian Real quick time about the Presidential Medal of Freedom
he gave out this past weekend.

Speaker 11 (01:03:06):
Oh geez, how do you.

Speaker 10 (01:03:07):
Watched him or not?

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
I saw the list were really good.

Speaker 16 (01:03:11):
It was like Michael J.

Speaker 6 (01:03:12):
Fox and because everything he's done and Bono.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
And yeah, overshadowed by the fact that George Soros got
one and.

Speaker 16 (01:03:20):
Hillary got one.

Speaker 6 (01:03:21):
And I'm like, for what there's a payoff?

Speaker 10 (01:03:23):
Is what those were?

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Apparently, so, I don't know, maybe some shiny object that
George Sore is gonna hang on the wall of his office.
I don't know, But I mean, you talk about the
medal of the metal being given to those who support
the interest and ideals of the United States of America
or otherwise engage in philanthropic activity globally, George Soros did
more to undermine the interest of the United States of
America than any human being on the planet. I think

(01:03:47):
so well Biden administration will be remembered for that, and
I think that's one of the reasons why so many
people are so disappointed with Biden. He got a new
gallop pole shows he comes in just ahead of Richard
Nick's and in terms of being the worst president in
the United States history six thirty five Pee if you
don't mind holding on, I will take your call when
we return. Getting back on schedule here, I want to

(01:04:09):
mention Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning Zimmer HVAC. It's cold
out there, and you know you don't want to get
stuck with a furnace that's gone belly up. And it
happens twenty four hour day, a seven dy week emergency
service brought to you by Zimmer third generation. They've been
around for more than seventy five years, keeping houses nice
and warm in the wintertime and nice and cool in
the summer. And if you haven't eat a new unit,

(01:04:30):
they got a deal going on with a carrier unit,
so they are official dealers of carrier Carrier invented air conditioning.
Of course they do heating as well. So get in
touch with my friends. It's Zimmer. Easy to schedule appointment.
You can do it one in two ways. Go Zimmer

he gave you the link and how to get the report.
You can just search for it online and read it

(01:05:35):
for yourself. It's broken down, it's got footnotes, it's got quotes,
it's got all the information upon which they reach their conclusions.
So it's real. It's not misinformation or disinformation. So just
you know, brace yourself to be extraordinarily disappointed and disenchanted
at your government. Sadly to say, Pete, thanks for holding
over the break there, Welcome to the Morning Show. Good

(01:05:57):
to hear from you today.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
Thanks Brian, welcome, thank you.

Speaker 19 (01:06:02):
On the subject of Greenland, I saw an interview of
one of the residents, and they love America and they
don't like being under a monarchy, and they were saying
that they've.

Speaker 10 (01:06:15):
Been just bleeding them.

Speaker 20 (01:06:17):
They steal all these sources and don't give them any freedom.
And there's a possibility that a vast majority of the
residents may want.

Speaker 5 (01:06:27):
To become Americans. You know, people fight to get across
the board of the Americans. It's possible they could all
just become Americans with a snap of a finger, and
they could possibly declare independence from Denmark and then just
really join.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
Do a Fidel Castro, start waging a girl of warfare
from the mountains of Greenland against the against the government
that controls them, something like, oh, I don't know the
colonists did against the British government when our country was founded.

Speaker 20 (01:07:00):
It's possible we could actually lend them a copy of
our declaration of independence, yeah to them, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Or maybe maybe just sell them some of those at
cam rockets, those ones that shoot hundreds and hundreds of
miles to I don't know, wage war. I have no idea,
you know, I don't think the war be a peaceful
I know, I've just pulled Jade's feet. I'm just going
as I'm going as far as I can. In terms

(01:07:29):
of what could be done. Yeah, I mean they, I
guess they should have a right to declare themselves free.
But you know, Puerto Rico's had the option to become
states before. I mean, that's an issue. We've had other territories.

Speaker 16 (01:07:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
I don't know, maybe guamal revolt against the United States
control over it and go its own way. But lots
of options and possibilities. I'm not taking the whole concept
that seriously. Right now, Denmark is entitled to its own opinion.
But if it decides it wants to sell greenland to us,
and they said, down at the table and negotiate a
price that is perfectly above board. It's been done tons

(01:08:04):
of times before in the world's history, with various different countries,
including the United States. And we'll see, we'll see. I'm
not holding my breath that it will happen, though, Let's
just put it that way. Pete, good to hear from you.
Let's see what Todd's got this morning. Todd, thanks for
calling a Happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 10 (01:08:20):
Happy here right back at you.

Speaker 21 (01:08:23):
Yes, Well, for the past several years i've been when
I've driven in Cincinnati, I've noticed that they've added a
lot of features to the streets, like these speed humps
and these kickouts, and yeah, changing four lanes to two lanes.
I was always wondering how that might affect the efficiency
of snowy movement.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
Someone literally sent me a Facebook instant message yesterday about that, Todd,
and I didn't get a chance to dive on into it,
but look at it this way. We've heard many, many
reports from various listeners, and also I read in the
paper this morning they aren't shoveling Mount Adams because there's
no place to put the snow apparently. But Mike called

(01:09:02):
this morning and he travels from Amelia. It's to the
hard Rock Casino. That's where he works. He's in security there,
and he went through all these different neighborhoods and different
types of roads and they were all shoveled, or at
least there were efforts made to keep them clear. And
he said, as soon as he got to the city limits,
it's like none of the streets were touched. And that
thought you just brought up popped into my head. Maybe

(01:09:24):
they can't shovel the roads in downtown Cincinnati anymore because
of the speed bumps they put up everywhere. I don't know.
I'm sure they thought about that before they put them in,
but God knows. It certainly is a failure of not
the guys running the plows, but the administration and health
the orders were allocated, or at least in terms of
what streets should be plowed and which had to sit

(01:09:46):
by the wayside. Funny though it is, todd I guess
I'd like to see how that works in practice. Get
a video out somebody had their cell phone camera out
next time they decide to plow the streets and stand
next to one of those speed humps at six four
twenty five. You can feel free to call Love to
hear from you. In the meantime, get in touch with
Prestige and Tiers for kitchen remodeling. You'd be working with
John Ryan. I and Prestige Interiors are one in the same.

(01:10:09):
And he's a as I say, he's a real sweet guy,
nice guy to work with. And if you're going to
spend and you know, if you do a gut rehab
of a kitchen like we did. It isn't an overnight job,
and be spending a lot of time with John from
initial design to final installation, and you will enjoy working
with him. Very efficient, he gets the job done right,
rides herd over the cruise, make sure everything's done in

(01:10:31):
an orderly fashion, and he will deliver on your dream
kitchen doesn't have to be a whole gut rehab like
we did. You can do a simple project simpler anyway,
cabinets and countertops, but if you want some great, great
ideas for flow and function, and he's the man to
work with. He's been doing kitchens for way north of
thirty years, almost exclusively, so give him a call. A

(01:10:53):
plus with a better business field, you'll like work with him,
like I said, find him online, see some of the

(01:11:32):
so hope to see you there. Let us see here,
let's go to the phones. Joe, thanks for calling this morning,
and happy Wednesday to you, sir.

Speaker 14 (01:11:40):
Good morning. Part of the issues, we're seven hundred million
in the hole.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
Who in seven hundred million? Where'd you get that number?
I wish we were riding number number.

Speaker 14 (01:11:53):
Can actually be looked up on your statistics for Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
Oh well see you didn't. You didn't identify which entity.
I thought for a moment you were referring to the
federal government, in which case I'd say, gee, I wish
we were only seven hundred million in the hall.

Speaker 14 (01:12:09):
Yeah, that would be nice. Yeah, a thirty six trillion.
But yeah, when you sell the railroad for a million
dollars and you could have got thirteen million or twenty
six million.

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
It was actually a billion.

Speaker 14 (01:12:23):
Sadly they didn't make a good deal.

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
Well, yeah, I was completely against the sale the railroad.
I thoroughly expect them to engage in all kinds of
financial shenanigans now that they're getting the interest off that
it was supposed to be only for infrastructure that already existed.
But if you build something now with the other pile
of money that doesn't come from the interest generated off
of the at one point five billion or whatever was invested,

(01:12:49):
that becomes an existing project, in which case, like, for example,
let's just say they took the taxpayer money and build
a new leg of the streetcar now it exists, in
which case they could take the money from the investment
and start using it to fund the streetcar. I don't know.
Bottom line, bad idea, bad idea, and history will confirm

(01:13:09):
my conclusion on that, and I think.

Speaker 14 (01:13:12):
I approve. I mean, part of the issue is you
have all these people with their pet projects they want
to get done, yeah, but yet they don't think about
anything as far as maintaining anything exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
This has been an ongoing discussion. Every single calendar year
that rolls by, they get further and further behind their
necessary obligations, which are for example, road maintenance. I mean,
it is appalling Democrats have been running Cincinnati for forty years.
Who is to blame for this, it's the Democrat administration.
After Democrat administration, they aren't interested in taking care of

(01:13:47):
what we own already. They're interested in providing the public
with something they can say, I did that, Look, I
helped bring whatever, the streetcar or whatever. Yeah, they're in lines.

Speaker 14 (01:13:58):
That's the projects. Their pet projects are always some white
elephant that is about as useful as you know, a
screen window on the sub But I mean part of
the issue is you have to maintain what you have already.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
Well, yes, and by them failing to make it's like
the broken windows theory, which seems to be, you know,
have some a lot of merit, take care of the things,
fix the broken windows, get rid of the graffiti, make
the neighborhood look a little bit better, and people treat
it better and have more interest in moving there. The
problem is more and more people move out of the
City of Cincinnati because it's decaying and falling apart. So

(01:14:37):
they're brilliant ideas well, what we need to do is
we need a brand new fill in the blank. That
way more people will want to live here, and you know,
like for example, over the Rhine they gentrified it, They
made it a far more expensive place to live. They
moved out the poorer residents who lived and thrived in
that area, much to their sagarn, and created this, you know,

(01:14:57):
sort of I don't know, urban hipster paradise. I'm not
sure that they're getting a return on their investment as
far as that goes, I really don't. I have no idea.
I do know that if you're going to drive to
get to over the Rhine, you're going to go across
some really, really crappy roads that are falling apart and
make maybe observe other failures of the city and the
administration to take care of things, and it probably will

(01:15:20):
seem less appealing once you get there. And then there's
the whole crime element that you got to deal with
as well. Yeah, failure, failure, failure, failure. Anyway, Lake and
Riley Act. I didn't get to this one yet. It
passed the House Representatives yesterday, lacln Riley Act finally, and
it's the second time it passed Chucky Schumer. It passed

(01:15:41):
last year bipartisan. It was two fifty one to one
seventy last year, but Chucky Schumer wouldn't take it up well.
This time it passed two sixty four to one fifty nine.
Forty eight Democrats joining with all the Republicans have passed it.
Named after the nursing student that was killed by that
illegal immigrant while jogging at Universe Georgia, this Lake and

(01:16:02):
Riley Act will require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal
immigrants found guilty of theft related crimes. That also would
allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for
harm caused to the citizens because of illegal immigration. So
some progress is being made and apparently the Senate is

(01:16:23):
poised to vote on the bill this week. Interesting comment
by House Majority Leader Steve's Police is the Lake and
Raley Act, sponsored by Representative by Collins, holds a Biden
administration accountable for their role in these tragedies plural because,
of course, Lake and Riley isn't the only illegal immigrant tragedy.
Befall us through their own border policies, requires detention of

(01:16:44):
illegal aliens to commit theft and mandates ice to take
them into custody, and allows the states to sue the
federal government on behalf of their citizens for not enforcing
the border laws, particularly in the case of parole. So
progress being made and more and more folks are falling
into line in terms of the effort to tighten the
border security, including Massachusetts Democrat Governor Marra Healy. She previously

(01:17:12):
vowed to fight against immigration enforcement, having a bit of
a change of heart now she's talking to Boston Public
Radio yesterday. In just the last two years of my administration,
we did see an increase in the numbers at the
shelters because of Congress's failure to fix the border. Now
it wasn't Joe Biden's unringing the bell of Trump's efforts

(01:17:34):
to steal the border. It was Congress's failure. And she
also laid the failure of the bill that they had
in front of him at Donald Trump's feet, even though
he wasn't in elected capacity. That bill would have continued
a massive influx of illegal immigrants into our country. It
facilitated it. It's one of the reasons it got shot
down anyway, she said, I mean, that's what happened. We

(01:17:55):
saw an increased numbers in Donald Trump killed that bill
years ago. He ran on fixing the border. He has
the opportunity now with the House and Senate and being
in charge of the administration. I hope he does. Former
sanctuary city praiser, I mean she said in November. In November,
her state police would absolutely not her words, be cooperating

(01:18:20):
with the deportation efforts by the incoming Trump administration. Wow,
what a difference a month and a half can make,
isn't it. Six fifty six ifty five krc DE Talk Station.

Speaker 7 (01:19:26):
We haven't suck since Christmas and I missed you in
shoe we all did. Yeah, why Kal did you get
to see the Trump press conference.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
Yesterday, I will admit that I did not.

Speaker 7 (01:19:38):
Oh, you got to go back and watch that, just
as people have to listen to your conversation yesterday with
Brad wensorm cheese that was incredible. Well, at this press conference,
instead of Biden's mumbling and stumbling, Donald Trump burston like
an eight hundred pound gorilla threatening armageddon named Gaza if

(01:20:00):
hostages are not released, even offering to take over the
country that makes my beloved Hallmark movies, Oh Canada.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
But folks, I keep laughing at that one.

Speaker 10 (01:20:11):
Jack.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
You know, I think the Canadian people and government there
will have a say in which direction that goes, much
in the same way the folks in Denmark will have
a say over whether we acquire Greenland. But you know,
I don't have any problem with sitting down and having
a conversation with them about it.

Speaker 7 (01:20:30):
Well, I don't know about that conversation, folks. Trump is
not trying to swallow up Canada. Who needs two senators
from that place. Look, Trump's original US Mexico Canada Trade
Deal us NCAA is coming up for renewal, and Trump's
demanding a better deal. This is how he gets it.

(01:20:53):
Negotiations are not always pretty, watch Shark Tank, especially since Mark,
like Jeff Bezos and now Mark Zuckerberg are crawling back
to Trump. So at least until the Democrats come back
if we fail to unify, let's not be distracted. Trump
twenty twenty five is not seeking to be a dictator

(01:21:17):
a fascist.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
That was Joe Biden in.

Speaker 7 (01:21:20):
Twenty twenty one. Trump and the whole Maga movement really
represent a return to seventeen eighty nine. That was the
year Constitution kicked in and George Washington became our first president.
Because seventeen eighty nine gave the world something entirely new,

(01:21:40):
not another top down, big government run by a king
and aristocrats and a permanent bureaucracy, but instead a bottom
up government, a populist government run by we the people,
a government that was designed to stay as small as
possible thanks to the original Doje blueprint, our Constitution with

(01:22:03):
its limited powers, decentralization, checks and balances, and most of all,
what the founders called the self evident truth that what's
more important than any government are the god given rights
and responsibilities of individuals. When Donald Trump promises to make
America great again, he means going back to what our

(01:22:25):
founders intended, a place where ordinary citizens have the same
rights as so called elites insiders, because our country was
started by outsiders. Unless your ancestors pretended to be Indian
chiefs like Elizabeth Warrens, they probably came here to escape
big government persecution. We can never forget the slaves brought

(01:22:48):
here against their will, against all humanity. But starting with
the Pilgrims, hundreds of millions of other people came here
voluntarily seeking freedom and opportunity to become Americans, not to
remain Irish or Chinese or any other victim group. Thanks
to the freedom and free markets they found, the initially

(01:23:10):
bankrupt the United States of America soon prospered so much
Brian that da da da da. There was money to
be made off of government itself, government jobs, giving donors,
government contracts, stop stock tips, insider trading like the kind
that made the Pelosis multimillionaires. And of course, let's not

(01:23:33):
forget good old fashioned bribes from foreign governments, a great
tradition carried on by the Biden crime family. Pelosi and
Biden made fortunes off of government. Donald Trump lost a
fortune and nearly lost his freedom and his life beyond that.

(01:23:53):
Authoritarians those who believe government has all the answers. Authoritarians
have always exploited crises, real or imagined, as an excuse
to supersize government permanently. Think of the Great Depression, then
World War II, and then all the needless, endless wars
like the one Biden triggered in Ukraine through weakness and

(01:24:17):
anti American energy policy. That policy boosted the price of
Russian oil and gas, and that finance Putin's invasion. Trump
is about to end that war and inflation by lowering
energy prices in America and around the globe. Or how
about another losing war, the sixty year old War on

(01:24:39):
Poverty one hundred and twenty six programs spread across fourteen
government departments and agencies, but of cost taxpayers more than
all of our wars combined. That would be worth it, Brian,
if it worked. But Democrat policies have destroyed generations of
families that became addicted acrosschen to government crubs. Worst of all,

(01:25:03):
under Biden, as you discussed yesterday with Brad, government used
COVID as an excuse to become not just authoritarian but totalitarian.
Closing down the entire economy, piling on debt with wasteful spending,
shutting schools, censoring with the help of our new friends

(01:25:24):
Bezos and Zuckerberg, and imprisoning political opponents. But finally, Brian,
it's not just government and not just Democrats. Establishment Republicans
have always stood up for American big business. Remember what's
good for General Motors is good for the USA, okay,
But multinational big business stopped standing up for Americans. Establishment

(01:25:50):
politicians of both parties incentivized them to move their plants
to Mexico, to Canada, to communists China, and at the
same time, the Uni party establishment refused to secure our borders.
For years, the establishment Wall Street journal called for this
five word constitutional amendment. Nobody ever believes it when I

(01:26:13):
remind them there shall be open borders. That's what they wanted, folks.
Donald Trump will prove once again, and even more forcefully
this time, that we can put America's first while shrinking government.
And not just here in America. Populism is spreading, as

(01:26:33):
we've discussed, from Argentina to Italy, soon France and Germany,
and you'll see even Canada. After that poodle Trudeau leaves office.
Populist leaders around the world are marching with fifes and
drums under the banner of glorious seventeen eighty nine, making

(01:26:55):
twenty twenty five a very happy new year to you
and yours.

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
Hey, I love the optimism. I certainly could you need
an injection of optimism after that conversation with weinstrip what
you mentioned yesterday, because that's frightening stuff. When your own
government is working against your own best interests, it does
tend to burst one's bubble of support for the concept.
Because the concept, as you started out, isn't the concept

(01:27:21):
that this country was founded on. You said rights and responsibilities,
and I underlined the word responsibilities. Yes, the Framers had
enshrined our rights God given pointed out in the document
limited government. It's in the constitution. Somehow that limited government
concept has been washed away through Supreme Court precedents and

(01:27:42):
like Wickered versus phil Burn, and interstate commerce interpretations and
the crises that you mentioned. Of course, my favorite crisis,
and I think the biggest scam perpetrated on the globe
since the dawn of mankind, is this whole idea that
global climate change. Think of all the policies, all the money,
all the changes in our lifestyle, the idea that they're

(01:28:03):
looking to ban a gas stove because oh, well, global warming.
I mean, you know, if you look at the California
wildfires that are raging right now, I'd love to get
some calculation and how much carbon got put in the
air and how much it negated Every effort that we
have been over backwards and paid for with government subsidies
to eliminate carbon from the environment. It probably got completely
negated overnight. But responsibility, It's as if if you think

(01:28:28):
about the immigrants that came here, the settlers, when you
go back, the hardships that they faced. This was not
an easy place to start out in. You had to
have responsibility. You had to take on a just a huge,
huge burden to establish yourself here. But oh look lo
and behold the project work wonderfully. Can you imagine? And

(01:28:51):
I just kind of I'm just waxing a little bit,
a little bit long winded here, Jack, But we have
this open borders and everyone wants to come here. And
it seems to me, just perhaps like the Great Society programs,
it didn't stop poverty. Don't you think that many of
them are incentivized to come here because they know they're
gonna get free stuff and things, complements the American tax payers.

(01:29:12):
I mean, they know they're going to get a shelter,
they know they're gonna get fed, they know they're gonna
get free schooling and education. Just by walking across the border.
They aren't exercising responsibility. They're not acting on their own
and achieving something. They're just taking. And that's really the
most heartbreaking thing about it. That doesn't that doesn't serve
an individual to just be hooked up to an ubilical

(01:29:33):
court of free stuff and things. It sets them up
for long term life failure. As you suggested, how many
families and many lives have been ruined by the Great
Society programs of LBJ.

Speaker 7 (01:29:45):
Well, that's exactly it, Brian. When people say, well, why
shouldn't we have open borders you have in seventeen eighty nine, Well,
as we've discussed in Milton Friedman has written, you didn't
have a welfare state back right. People had to come
here and down trees and build up businesses and do
all the rest. Look what we've got to do right

(01:30:06):
now is hammer this message home and more importantly, much
more importantly than anything I can do. We've got to act.
We cannot have prima donnas. I'm not naming names who
think for themselves than they should. That's what we elect
people to do. But at this point we have to
make sure that we carry through Trump's clear agenda, securing

(01:30:28):
the border, tapping down inflation with more energy, peace through strength,
all the rest. None of that is going to get
done if we can't find unity. The only way that
Democrats ever get back in power is if we screw up,
and we can't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
Amen to that, Jack, And you know that's one of
the reasons why I think there was very little reluctance
to re establishing Johnson as the leader of the Speaker
of the House. You know, it would have been a
foolish exercise, I think, And I've got kind or some
messy coming on in the next hour to explain why
he was a no on it. But the idea to
hit the ground running with a dispute and a fight

(01:31:08):
would not have been a good thing. Optics would have
been terrible. It would have gotten us off on the
wrong foot. It would have suggested that the Republicans aren't unified.
In their efforts to achieve these very important goals that
you mentioned. So, you know, let's put that nonsense aside.
Let's just get forward, get the legislation out there, and
start doing something on behalf of the American people.

Speaker 7 (01:31:27):
So and Brian, nobody else want at the job. What
we've got to do is not try to find some
Republican who's willing to lead us. We have to turn
more Democrats into Republicans. It can be done. Think of
somebody like Jeff Van Drew in New Jersey. Yeah, we
could turn these people with success. Trump is absolutely right.

(01:31:50):
Success is not only going to be his best revenge.
It's going to make our party big enough that we
don't have to worry about losing one or two votes.
We've got to fill those seats that were vacated by
thanks to Trump, and he's right, but we have to
fill them quickly, at least Stephonic at Gates. We have
to make sure, by the way, one last thing, national

(01:32:11):
conservative media. Of course, I'm not talking about you, you
do your job, but the Fox News Channel and others,
they have to provide platforms for congressional candidates in swing
districts so that we don't have the same old, same
old people coming on all the time talking about low
hanging fruit. We have to show who these people are

(01:32:32):
and then maybe somebody like the great Orlando Sanza could
have gotten elected here.

Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
Indeed, well real quickly before we part company today, Jack
Adaden and always enjoy these conversations someone who I never
thought I would think anything of, who I thought was
a complete idiot and embarrassment fetterman. I mean, he actually
is starting to make sense a little bit too. When
you get somebody like him on board, agreeing with some
of the Trump esque type platforms and bucking his own party.

(01:32:59):
I mean, I think that's an illustration of the type
of Democrat that realize that, you know what, I have
been too quiet about this far left, woke DEI crap
that my party has clung to and has been fighting
for since Biden got elected, or going back to Obama.
I should have been louder, I should have been more
opposed to it. It's not what the American people want,

(01:33:20):
as demonstrated by Trump's election in November, and I think
many of them have got the message. So we can
only keep our fingers crossed that that is the case
at its best.

Speaker 7 (01:33:31):
I love Fetterman, and the people of Pennsylvania, as people
generally are, are not crazy, No they're not. But we
got to make sure that maybe we can bring Fetterman
over it to the Republican Party, to the Populist Party.

Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
Let's try, Let's try. It is worth the effort, Jack Atherton,
Every Wednesday here in the fifty five Carssey Morning Show
the Big Pictures what we call it rocket it like
at seventeen eighty nine, Jack, God bless you. Happy New
Year to you in your better half, and I'll look
forward to talking with you regularly and hopefully running into
you more often in this calendar year, I hope. So
take care of my friends. Seven twenty right now, if

(01:34:06):
you have care, see any talk station. Phone lines will

Cullen Electric Andrew Cullen is a great guy and he
has assembled a wonderful team of electricians. I would like
to call him a well oiled machine. Going back to

(01:34:27):
my experience for the canlights. And I know I bring
that up all the time, but it just it was
awesome to watch Lily the electrician right hurt over. That
crew got everything done and just virtually no time. They're efficient,
the price is always right. The electric work a do
for you, regardless of how big or small. The project
always comes with a ten year wiring warranty. And it's
a customer service, absolutely superior. The respectful you, the respectful

(01:34:52):
of your home, and they do great work. What more
could you ask a plus with a better business peer,
And for all the foregoing reasons, that's a well deserved
a plus. So give Colin Electric a call you'd be
glad you did. Family in and operated since nineteen ninety nine.
They are very proud of their honest reputation. And Andrew

looking forward to seeing the listener lunch folks there and
having some wonderful fellowship and that's what it's all about,
plus enjoying a cold beer and some great food. Fingers
cross on that. Anyway, everybody's invited, uh over to local stories.
You feel free to call. I'd love to hear from you.

(01:35:56):
And again, a just I've been reminding people all morning
if you didn't get a chance to listen to break
Winstrip yesterday on that whole COVID report, what an eye opener,
you know. And it's kind of funny when you look
back to twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, we're going
knee deep in COVID and all the lockdowns that Jack
just mentioned and the problems that we faced and the
suppression of information. You know, Mark Zuckerberg's all on board

(01:36:18):
with opening up the platform.

Speaker 10 (01:36:19):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
Yeah, oh no, we're not going to suppress information. We're
gonna get rid of the fact checkers. Okay, gee, isn't
it amazing when you hear what the report that Winstrip
was summarizing on the Morning show available for your own reading.
Go ahead and look for it online. It's easy to find.
It's been well laid out. It's easy to fix a
particular subject matter if you want to go direct to it.

(01:36:41):
But it is north of five hundred pages, well researched,
but confirming all those things that the well, i'll say,
the left, the mainstream media, and the likes of Facebook,
and you know, the suppressors, those who are listening to
the folks from the Justice Department in the office in

(01:37:02):
the building telling them what they can and can't say
that all those so called conspiracy theories, actually we're right,
they were right, you know, people calling you tinfoil hat
wearing kind of folks. And turns out, you know, you

(01:37:23):
can say I told you so. It's it's pretty amazing stuff. Frightening,
but amazing. Question. Going over the local stories here now,
pay Corps is being acquired by Rochester, New York based
pay Checks that's the name of the company from Rochester,

(01:37:43):
and they may announcement yesterday they're paying four point one
billion dollars all cash transaction to acquire pay Corps, so
pay checks similar to pay Corp human capital management company
that provides technology and software services for business pay Corps,
specifically in payroll and talent software. And of course, the

(01:38:04):
current naming rights sponsor of pay Corpse Stadium formerly Paul
Brown Stadium, which is what I still call it.

Speaker 9 (01:38:11):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:38:13):
I've been going back and forth with my friend Mike
on this one. Will the name pay course Stadium be
changed to Paychecks Stadium? And the more I thought about it,
the more I thought, you know, that has sort of
a negative ring to it, because every time I look
at pay Corps Stadium fka Paul Brown Stadium, I think

(01:38:34):
of the taxpayer dollars who built that monstrosity for a
private company that privately owns the Cincinnati Bengels. So if
they call it paycheck Stadium, doesn't this sort of suggest
the paychecks the America or the Hamilton County taxpayer is
actually putting into the pockets of the Brown family, And
not that he doesn't deserve it necessarily. I mean, come on,
let's face and say what you want about Joe Burrow.

(01:38:56):
He is a hell of a quarterback. Five hundred million dollars.
That's a lot of paychecks too, isn't it. So we'll
just stick back with our feed up and our popcorn
out and figure out what they're going to do on
that one. And anyway, Paychecks is acquiring pay Corps. According
to the pay Corp CEO in a statement Rau Vallard Junior,

(01:39:16):
we believe this transaction will create a great outcome for
our clients and key stakeholders. We're very excited about joining
paychecks the next phase of our journey, confident that our
customers will benefit from the shared expertise, resources, and innovation.
Both companies have to drive even greater people in business performance.
Now I would be sweating bullets a little bit if

(01:39:37):
I was an employee of either one of those companies, because,
according to the reporting from Felicia Jordan and Dan Munkover
at CPO, Paycheck's officials have told investors to expect eighty
million dollars in cost savings from the merger of both companies,
Yet they offered no details on whether jobs will be
lost from those cost savings. Let me strongly suggest they will.

(01:40:00):
For example, the folks in the in the in the
individual legal departments I know pay Course got one. I'm
sure paychecks has one. When you have overlapping legal departments,
quite often there are more lawyers in the legal departments
than are necessary to accomplish the work that lands on
their desk. So anyhow, I'm sure there will be some
restructuring in order to bring about the savings that they mentioned.

(01:40:22):
But just one of the local stories going on. And
I got Mike on the phone. Hey, Mike, thanks for
calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to.

Speaker 16 (01:40:29):
You, Happy Wednesday to you too, Brian, what's on your mind?

Speaker 22 (01:40:36):
The COVID report thing that you were talking with yesterday
with brad Winstrop. One thing that everybody talks about or
is in the report is Anthony Palchan. His you know,
dealings and I don't know, leadership if you want to

(01:40:57):
call it that behind all of this stuff. Yeah, wonderful
things that was brought up. I don't remember if it
was mister Winstrip or somebody else previously, but his involvement
with AZT back in the eighties and the AIDS thing.
He was instrumental in pushing that over any other drug

(01:41:19):
or any other cocktail. And uh, it's I mean, the
whole I don't know mentality of US versus them, and
you know the government way or no way. Yeah, quite evidence.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Well, and you know we didn't have a conversation about
AIDS with one strip. I don't recall discussing AIDS or anything. Yeah,
it's just but you know, it speaks to the point
that the Congressman brought up because I brought up iver
met and there were people either are spreading the word
I remin can work. You know, it's it's you know,
it's a proven therapy and you just use it off label,

(01:41:57):
don't take a horse dose, as Congressman point it out.
But in certain applications, physicians had formerly before COVID, the
liberty to you know, do off label try things on
behalf of their patients. And if your physician, you know,
analyze your symptoms and believe that that could provide you
with some relief, then that was fine for him to

(01:42:18):
do off label use, and people do it all the time.
You give the patient warnings about the potential downsides, the
risks associated with it. Maybe the physician might face some
outpractice liability if he's doing something that's way off base,
but you at least had the flexibility as a physician
to portry different treatment methodologies. They said no. They told
pharmacies not even to fill ivermectin prescriptions. They told physicians

(01:42:42):
absolutely not. Physicians has once you're pointed out, were afraid
of losing their medical license for trying some alternative approach.
Then just forcing people to get that mRNA jab that
they were shoving down everybody's throat. I mean, it's just crazy.

Speaker 22 (01:43:00):
And keeping that in mind, I watched a movie the
other day, the Dallas Buyers Club, and knowing that Fauci
was behind the government pushing AZT, it was the exact
same playbook, you should take AZT or nothing else will do,
and they were really clamping down on anybody trying any

(01:43:20):
other alternative therapy for AIDS in HIV. Yeah, it's just
you know, looking through that.

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
Lens, it was like, wow, well he's been around for
how many decades now, had quite a few working the
same playbook year after year after year, and apparently responsible
for funding some pretty dangerous research. Keep that cash, bigot
flowing from the federal government in terms of grant money.

(01:43:49):
Great to hear from you today, Mike. Thank you very much,
and I'm glad you're able to listen to Congress from
winnsdrip and else serves another springboard for those who didn't
get to hear it. It's worth a listen seven thirty

to call five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two three talk and get in
touch with Emory Federal Credit Union. Just go to EMORYFCU

(01:44:10):
I say that all the time because it is, and
I can do some my own comparisons to the big bank.
I do have an account of a big bank. I
will not name the name, but Emery's better, customer service better,
the rates are better. And right now, I'm not going
to get twenty five bucks for referring you to become
a member at Emory. But you if you're a member
at Emory and you refer your friends, your relatives, your neighbors,

(01:44:32):
spread the word about the benefits of banking with Emory.
Not only will you get twenty five bucks, the person
who becomes a member at Emory Federal Credit Union will
also I mean free money to get better banking.

Speaker 16 (01:44:43):
Hey, why not?

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
So spread the word about the benefits of banking with
Emory or a little extra cash and help your loved

the program. How you doing, Brian, I'm doing pretty good.

Speaker 11 (01:46:30):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:46:30):
I'm depressed over you know, my complete loss of faith
in government generally speaking, but you know, otherwise.

Speaker 14 (01:46:38):
I'm kind of over at that.

Speaker 23 (01:46:39):
At this point, I think I'm beyond depression. I'm just
I'm just poed. So hey, I wanted to give you
a heads up. I'm reading a book that was written
by RFK Junior on on doctor Fauci.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 23 (01:46:57):
I will when I finish it, I'll call you back.
But my mind was blown in the first chapter and
it and RFK has heavily documented everything. I mean, the
first chapter had like three pages of endnotes of of
document documentation.

Speaker 15 (01:47:15):
That he cited. But if half of what.

Speaker 23 (01:47:20):
R FK wrote and that book is true, Fauci should
be in jail. It is just it's I mean, it
is Chicago style corruption.

Speaker 21 (01:47:29):
It's so bad.

Speaker 3 (01:47:30):
So but yeah, RFK wrote that.

Speaker 23 (01:47:33):
So I just I wanted to give you a heads
up case you wanted to.

Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
Check it out off the top of your head. Well,
do you know what the name of the book is.

Speaker 23 (01:47:41):
I think it's the real, the real Anthony Fauci.

Speaker 3 (01:47:44):
Okay, well it should be easy to find. Just look
up RFK JR. I guess on Amazon or something. You'll
run right into the book because they do. They do
listen by authors. So I appreciate the heads up on that.
And of course what you're suggesting is in line with
what wins True talked about yesterday after this report came
out and the reports out there and available for all

(01:48:04):
to read. He does sound like an extraordinarily corrupt guy
and a threat to humanity in terms of you know
what they unleashed on the globe. I mean, he's just
merely approving this gain of function research. And I know
people say, oh, there's all these labs all over the place.
We got labs ourselves, and there's labs over in this
country or Ukraine head labs. I mean, there shouldn't be

(01:48:25):
any of that stuff. Can we learn any lessons from
World War One? With mustard gas and the carnage and
the evil that that chemical warfare unleashed on humanity. It's
just absolutely it is the most unethical, horrific kind of
thing possible. Not that any kind of warfare, you know,
can arguably ethical. You're entitled to defend yourself, I understand that,

(01:48:47):
but there are limits to what is what is appropriate.
And messing around with viruses that will you know, glom
on to any certain person or type of people, which
is exactly what that type of war work is about.
You could literally, and I pointed this out bro in
the program, you could you could create a virus that
would kill like Adolf Hitler if he had this technology.

(01:49:09):
He could have created a virus that would have infected
every Jewish person that got breathed on with it, and
they all would have died. That's the horror of this.
This is what they're working on with tax payer dollars.
Scary appreciated, Kyle, Yeah, let me give me an update
when you're done with the book, and maybe my listeners
can check that out themselves. Appreciate the reading recommendation, have

(01:49:31):
a good one. My friend seven forty five right now
at fifty five krs the talk station USA insallation the
ultimate no brainer. Ask Jeff, Jeff, my friend who I
think has supported every sponsor on the fifty five carsse
morning shows, talking with Steve from the USA about the
effectiveness of the foam the highest r value in the market.
You have an older home or old home that doesn't

(01:49:53):
have any insulation ers under insulated, you can actually have
a better insulated home using USA's premium phone than the
new homes they're building with new insulation in them. That
speaks volumes. The point being you're gonna have far more
comfortable home, you're gonna be able to deal with the
winter temperatures, and you're not gonna pay as much on
your energy bill. It's a substantial savings, and some people have,

(01:50:15):
you know, at ninety nine dollars a month interest free,
it does not shock me at all that the savings
on the energy bill cover the monthly cost of the phone.
Next thing you know, it's paid off. My buddy Jeff said,
another fantastic product made the house more comfortable and much quieter.
There's two benefits right there. He didn't mention the energy savings,
but I know he had great energy savings that was

(01:50:36):
paid off in very short order. So get in touch
with USA Insulation. They'll do a free inspection to find
out if you are under insulated, or if you have
an older home before mid seventies. There's nothing in that
space in the wall there. Fill it with that premium
phone made right here in the state of Ohio. Thousands
and thousands of homeowners have made the right choice and
done this, and their only regret. I wish I'd have

(01:50:57):
done it sooner. So act now. I have ninety nine

happier because after the top of our news Congress with Massy,
we'll talk government spending, we'll talk reconciliation, we'll talk about
his speaker vote, Jode Jannitapolitano killing the Constitution at GITMO.
That'll have it at eight thirty. The meantime, I'm going
to go over to the phone here and get Janet's phone.
Call Janet, Happy Wednesday, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (01:52:31):
Good morning, Brian. You know this is a violation of
the Nuremberg Code. We've gone through this when you experiment
on people without their fully informed consent, and I said, fully,
you can't do that with vaccines. And the game of
function was a military, uh you know thing to be

(01:52:52):
able to use chemical warfare, biochemical warfare on your enemies.
They turn out on us, have experiment on us or
wherever it came from. It came from the lab and
Level four lab. But there was a lot of back
and forth emails Ran Paul exposed doctor Ram Paul by Fauci.

(01:53:12):
They had knowledge of this. Oh yeah, you know, we're
left with a spike protein invading our DNA through the
mr NA.

Speaker 3 (01:53:21):
Yeah, yeah, that was I guess a lot of what
the special committee that Congress from Winstrop was working on
and we talked about yesterday. They all they confirmed all
of what you're saying as well. It's all well document.
Just search for it online, five hundred plus pages, it's
got footnotes, it's got quotes, it's got the behind the
scenes email. Hell, they quit using government email service so
they could avoid Freedom of Information Act requests related to

(01:53:44):
this research. Talk about nefarious, I mean that was an
intentional act done to keep the information away from the
American public, which was.

Speaker 12 (01:53:53):
Not fully informed consent. Because we're telling patients, go ahead,
we need you need to take it. The spike proteins
wrapped in a nano article will dissipate out of your
body in two to three days tops.

Speaker 3 (01:54:03):
But it's not.

Speaker 12 (01:54:04):
It hasn't, and there's long COVID you know in some
people I agree, I am that racket with the drug companies.
It's like a mafia racket. Little Fauci is like no
different than the mafia.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
Yeah, but beyond the money component the racket. I know
there's a lot of you know, something called conspiracy theories,
but a lot of conversation around hmm, maybe this is
beyond just making the pharmaceuticals billions of dollars because of
all the negative health effects that apparently they were aware
of when they rolled this Emergency Use authorization drug out

(01:54:40):
to the American people. And a lot of people are
struggling and suffering as a consequence of it. We find,
you know, young people with heart disease. Now, now, how
in the hell did that happen?

Speaker 12 (01:54:49):
Alcarditis was known in young people, They knew that, and
they hid that. The European studies the whole thing was
population reduction of the elderly. So you're telling again we
lost a million in America on purpose, I think, and
they locked them down in nursing homes. We have the
new peace of legislation in Ohio. Never left alone, I believe,

(01:55:13):
is what it is, which is heinous, heinous to leave
elderly trapped literally locked down.

Speaker 20 (01:55:20):
That is uh, that's a violet.

Speaker 4 (01:55:22):
You couldn't do that.

Speaker 12 (01:55:23):
If you did that in your home, you tried to
keep somebody from leaving, you'd be in violation of I
forget what they call it, but there's the it's illegal
elder abuse.

Speaker 3 (01:55:34):
Well look what they did in New York. I mean,
you have the worst COVID COVID killed so few people.
Beyond ones with comorbid conditions and being elderly and having
other medical problems, they were the most likely to succumb
to having the disease. What do they do, oh, idea,
packed them all into the same effectively, the same room,

(01:55:55):
the same building. Of course, COVID is going to spread
through the nursing home, and you got all of them
piled up up on each other in there. So yeah,
there's nothing good in any of this. The more we learn,
the more we find out, well, we've been duped, we've
been lied to, and the reasons for it, the motivations
for it, I hope will become at some juncture crystal clear,

(01:56:16):
But as of right now we're still left to speculate
to a large degree. But the proof is all around us.
The damage that has been done is obvious. We have
statistics on the damage that has been done. We know
the number of people that died, We know about all
the ill effects and downside risks of the COVID nineteen vaccine.
Couple with the fact you know it didn't work. I mean,

(01:56:37):
it's the other thing that really pisses me off about this.
They forced people under thread of losing their job, being
thrown out of the military, losing your situation to take
a vaccine that doesn't prevent you from getting the illness
in the first place and doesn't stop you from spreading it.
What blanket point is there? And they force it on everybody,

(01:56:58):
even people who had zero, virtually zero chance of succumbing
to the disease. If you're going to mandate for somebody,
and I don't believe in mandates, but at least line
the people up with the comorbid conditions and say, listen, an,
it ain't gonna stop you from getting it, but it's
probably gonna lessen the symptoms. That's the best we can
offer you. And because you are in a category of
humanity that may very well die, this is what we've got.

(01:57:22):
And by the way, we're not gonna let you try
anything else. That's the other just amazing thing about this.
Doctors weren't allowed to be diagnosticians in practice medicine and
try other therapies. They were told, specifically, basically under threat
of losing their medical license, that this is it. Give
them the jab, period and the story, and when you do,
we'll pay it for it. I just can't believe we're

(01:57:44):
that this happened anyway. Thank you to Mike and Marsha.
The name of the book that my call will referred to,
It's the Real Anthony Fauci subtitle Bill Gates, Big Pharma
and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health by
Robert F. Kennedy Junior. He's a real pot stir or
that guy. So I'm kind of excited for that guy

(01:58:04):
having some role in the administration. Stick around, We're gonna
be talking with Congressman Thomas Massey after the news your voice,
thank you for telling MC call your country.

Speaker 12 (01:58:14):
Thanks refreshing.

Speaker 10 (01:58:15):
He's here every day.

Speaker 3 (01:58:16):
Fifty five krs the talk station. This reporting sponsored voices,
So glad we have you heard daily. You're the only
voice of reason on the radio. Is fifty five krs
the talk station eight oh five fifty five k see
the talk station. Brian Thomas wishing you're one a very
happy Wednesday, and you're listening right now. You got to

(01:58:39):
be a happy person because welcome back and a very
happy New Year to one of the few ones we've
got that we can count on. Congressman Thomas Massey, Welcome back,
my friend. It is always a distinct pleasure to have
you on the fifty five KRS Morning Show.

Speaker 10 (01:58:52):
Happy New Year, Brian to you and your listeners.

Speaker 3 (01:58:55):
So you're optimistic for this year? Hit the ground running.

Speaker 10 (01:58:58):
I am optimistic. I think we can get some stuff done.
It's a big it's a big opportunity, and I hope
we don't screw it up. Mike, Republicans often do. Well,
I know that's the case.

Speaker 3 (01:59:12):
Let's just start with the speaker vote, because you know,
I know you were not a Johnson guy, and I've
got other listeners who hate the guy for whatever reason.
But I think, optically speaking, to start out with a
speaker fight that might have been drug out and delayed
things and sort of made the Republican Party look like
they weren't unified to do to get something accomplished, probably

(01:59:35):
would have you know, I think in order poorly to
the Republicans and helped the Democrats on some level, if
for nothing more than they could make fun of the
Republican Party for not being unified or presenting a unified front.
What's your what's your reaction to that analysis?

Speaker 10 (01:59:51):
Well, I went back and forth with Nuke Gingridge on this,
and you know, one thing that you noticed is nobody
is saying Mike Johnson is a good spe a great speaker,
a capable speaker.

Speaker 3 (02:00:02):
True.

Speaker 10 (02:00:02):
I don't want to disparage him at this point because
he is our speaker. But I would to say that
the decision process, the argument that people were making, is
the argument that you made, which is, let's just get
this behind us, let's get on track, let's start moving forward.
I think in analogies, I think it's if you make
an analogy to buying a car, It's like, listen, vacation

(02:00:26):
starts tomorrow. We got to start this family vacation. We
know this car here on this lot leaks. Well, it's
got a bad piston ring. It doesn't start unless you
hit the starter with the hammer. But let's buy this
car so we can start our vacation tomorrow. Or we're
gonna buy. We need a house. We need a roof
over our head. We know this house leaks, the roof leaks,

(02:00:47):
the foundation is crumbling, the door seals are rotten. But
give me those mortgage papers. Let's sign notes. It's like
it's a question or an argument of expediency that was made.
I think it's going to come back and bite us
in the butt. Okay, and we can talk about the
places where I think he'll get it right in the
places where people are going to be disappointed.

Speaker 3 (02:01:09):
Well, and you anticipated exactly where I was going with that,
all right, so you know we got the leaky roof House.
How is Johnson going to potentially sabotage or otherwise undermine
something that the Republicans might want to accomplish. How are
things going in your mind? What scenario will things prove

(02:01:29):
to be the sort of I told you so a
moment for Congressman Thomas Massey on this choice.

Speaker 10 (02:01:37):
And by the way, if you go back before Christmas,
pretty much ninety percent of people agreed with me that
we should have a different speaker. It was when Trump
endorsed him that you know, okay, now let's get behind him. Okay,
there there are only a couple pieces of legislation that
are going to matter in the next year and frankly

(02:01:58):
maybe for the next two years. When I talked to
President Trump personally after the election, this was about ten
days after election, I said, I think you got about
six months a runway to get this agenda done. And
he agreed. And the way we're going to get things
done is in a bill called reconciliation. But there's also
another bill called the omnibus that's going to come up

(02:02:19):
as well. One of these bills is likely going to
pass with only Republican votes. That's a reconciliation bill. The
other bill, the omnibus, is likely going to be a
repeat of what we've seen before, where you get a
uniparty vote for that, and I'm worried that the Speaker
is going to give away the store in that omnibus bill. Now,

(02:02:42):
the debt limit has to be increased at some point
as well to fund all of these things they're talking about.
Where do you put that debt limit increase? They're probably
going to almost certainly going to put it in the
reconciliation bill that's going to pass with all Republican votes.
So you kind of get two omnibus bills that are

(02:03:02):
coming up. Think of the reconciliation bill as an omnibus bill,
and then there's going to be the typical omnibus bill. Well,
one of those is a Republican omnibus and the other
one is a uniparty omnibus. And in the reconciliation that's
where you're going to get Trump's agenda but the swamp
is really going to try and get some I'm afraid,

(02:03:22):
going to get some junk in there. And they're also
probably going to bust the budget in there unless some
of us hold their feet to the fire on that one.
Let me explain. So, the reconciliation bill is going to
have the tax cuts that we did under Trump the
first time that unfortunately expire after a certain period of time.

(02:03:44):
It's going to have border security in it. Those are
I think the two main things you can count on
having in there. The question is how do you pay
for those things, things like work requirements for able body
people on welfare. It seems like a no brainer, right Brian,
But we still don't have those imposed on the states.

(02:04:04):
They've got so much wiggle room that they basically don't
have them in most states. And if you would do that,
then you could say, oh, we're going to save this
much money in the federal budget and we can offset
those tax cuts that are coming up. And then there's
little things in the minutia like this thing called State
and local tax deduction. The people from New York, the

(02:04:25):
Republicans from New York and some from Virginia and some
of these high tax states, they think they should be
able to offset their state and local taxes off their
federal tax bill. My question to them is, why should
you pay any less for our military defense that we
do in Kentucky or Ohio just because your local taxes
are high in New York. The answer is they shouldn't.

(02:04:48):
But they're going to be an argument over that. Anyways,
that all goes in reconciliation. And the question is are
we going to increase the debt at the same time
that we're raising the debt limit? Blake, I'm sorry, increase
the deficit at the same time that we're raising the
debt limit, because that's going to be in reconciliation. So
there's this. You know, I'm going to listening sessions today individually.

Speaker 11 (02:05:13):
With the Whip.

Speaker 10 (02:05:14):
I'll be meeting with him, and then we're going to
have a larger meeting, which is a larger group of
people with the Speaker later today talking about this reconciliation bill. Meanwhile,
nobody wants to talk about this omnibus bill because the
government funding for the things we appropriate, like military, NASA,
roads and bridges, all of that stuff comes up in March.

(02:05:35):
I know, you've got to break somewhere into there.

Speaker 3 (02:05:36):
We got a couple of minutes. So I was waiting
for you to bring up regular order. Aren't there supposed
to be twelve appropriations bill? And now that we have
Republicans and control of the House, the Senate, and the
executive branch, couldn't we get back to doing twelve separate
appropriations bill as is required and as part of the
job description everybody elected official up there.

Speaker 10 (02:05:56):
You know that sounds wonderful, Brian.

Speaker 15 (02:05:58):
That has gone out the window.

Speaker 10 (02:06:01):
There will be no attempt at regular order. They're putting
pennies in the fuse box. And now you know, and
you know in some to some degree, it's a fair
thing for them to want to do on reconciliation. Let
me let me tell you why. This is how the
Democrats got the so called Inflation Reduction Act passed. They

(02:06:21):
did it on reconciliation. I should have pointed this out
in the beginning. If you do something under something called
if you do legislation under something called reconciliation, you only
need fifty one votes in the Senate, And that is
why you can pass it with all Republican votes and
get Republican agenda items in it and so that's why

(02:06:43):
they're going to create this bill that has everything in
it together. It's so you can pass it through the
Senate with fifty one votes instead of sixty votes. Now,
to your point, on the omnibus bill that funds roads
and bridges, NASA defense, all of those things, that should
be twelve separate bills, But that deadline's coming up in March.

(02:07:05):
And by the way, if we do another CR in March,
there's still the massive provision that I got negotiated in
there a year and a half ago that says if
you go past April thirtieth on a continuing resolution, all
of those appropriation line items get cut one percent. So
I'm kind of secretly hoping for another CR instead of
an omnibus. But what we should do is twelve separate bills.

(02:07:29):
I can guarantee you we're not going to do that
between now and March, and then when March comes along,
they're going to say we've got to do this omnibus bill.
And President Trump wisely does not want the debt limit
deal in the omnibus. He wants it in reconciliation, because
when you put it in reconciliation, you're negotiating with Republicans.

(02:07:51):
You put it in the omnibus, you're going to be
negotiating with the uniparty, which.

Speaker 3 (02:07:58):
That yeah, I understand, I understand, but I guess I
have to understand on some level. Clearly spending is the problem,
and there's no accountability in government. I mean there's none.
I you know, make an argument one way or the other,
but in the final analysis, you get a defense bill.
They can't pass Audit's time after time after time. They

(02:08:19):
have no idea where the money's going. We're talking nine
hundred billion dollars and it can't be accounted for. Is
there any way Trump can help on this? Put pressure
on people. This is a new day. We need to
cut spending and quit funding these ridiculous projects and look
across the table at Republicans who should be in favor
of fiscal responsibility and try to hold them accountable out

(02:08:41):
loud on acts, account or truth social media. I mean,
doing press conferences and pointing out the bad actors that
keep insisting on things like writing off their state taxes
so that because they have a state with high taxes.
I mean, you know, embarrassment can work, can it?

Speaker 10 (02:08:58):
Well, that's how dogs go work.

Speaker 3 (02:09:00):
Hoeu.

Speaker 10 (02:09:01):
I mean, and I've talked of the bake personally. He
and I sat down one on one and I told him,
you've got to get in this reconciliation bill because if
you're not in that, they're just going to pay lift
service to doge right. And uh, by the way, after
the break, let's talk about what I'm trying to get
in reconciliation that will fundamentally change the structural government and

(02:09:22):
restore constitutional balance. Right. But in the meantime, yeah, we
should cut spending. Our worst enemies are some of these
Republicans up here. I know that they they say, we
want a ten percent increase in the military budget. We're
willing to give the Democrats ten percent increase and everything else.
And so we get a ten percent increase across the

(02:09:43):
board on all of these things, including the social programs,
that that's going to happen. Take it to the bank.
That is going to happen in this omnibus bill. Now,
if you had a speaker who didn't want to play
that game, who wasn't beholding to the military industrial complex,
it's he's demonstrated over and over, then that wouldn't have
to be the case.

Speaker 3 (02:10:03):
But that's this is where we are, all right, We'll
bring Congress from Massy back and we'll get Massey's reconciliation
wish list plaus form over at eight sixteen. Right now
for the five KCD talk station, I get to mention
my favorite folks. That will be Wendy and Jeff at
twenty two three on round forty two between Mason eleven,
the best gun shop store indoor firing range. They are
awesome at everything they do. The price is always great

(02:10:26):
at twenty two three, very competitive pricing, and I got
my Christmas present from twenty two to three. Now proud
owner of forty five to seventy lever Action Marlin, which
is a riot to shoot. But thanks to Wendy, they
didn't have one in stock. They had one in stock
in the next day. That's how long it took her
to get one for me. So it was like great,
got my Christmas present taken care of. And I know
a lot of my listeners went out there and maybe

(02:10:47):
took advantage of gift cards membership. They've got all kinds
of training classes from the I've never picked up a
gun but want to learn how class all the way
through experienced shooter classes, outstanding folks, teachers, instructors, They have
a gunsmith. They have a massive selection of both handguns
and long guns, and of course ammunition and all kinds
of accessories. It's one stop shopping and count on me.

(02:11:09):
You'll be glad you're doing business with the people at
twenty two three. Friendly staff there treat you like family
and help you out and making your choices. So I'll
go to twenty two three dot com to learn more.
That's the number twenty two follow by the word three
spelled out, twenty two three dot com located on Route
forty two between Mason and Lebanon.

Speaker 4 (02:11:26):
This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 3 (02:11:30):
The music we listen to all our power radio. We
got Congressom Massi on the phone right now, and follow by,
of course, Judge Annonopolitano, and I know he's probably listening
right now. Congressman Massy big fan of yours, and I
know you like him, and we all kind of think
like mindedly in terms of our libertarian perspective on things.
All right, back over to the reconciliation. What are Congressmom

(02:11:51):
Massy's wishless when it comes to the reconciliation?

Speaker 10 (02:11:54):
Okay, if somebody just joined us over the break, let
me summarize what I said before. There's two big trains
leaving the station here in Congress. One is reconciliation that
only needs fifty one votes to pass the Senate. The
other is this omnibus bill that you're typically used to
that needs sixty votes to pass the Senate. The reconciliation

(02:12:15):
bill is going to be all Republicans. We got to
get it done with all Republicans. They need my vote
for that. The omnibus bill, they don't need my vote
because that's going to be a uniparty bill, and they're
gonna it's like a magician. They're going to tell you,
look at this hand, it's got reconciliation in it. Meanwhile
they're going to do that omnibus bill with the other hand,
and you're not supposed to watch that. Pay no attention

(02:12:36):
to that man behind that curtain. Okay, so reconciliation, what
can we have done? Well, the first thing we should
do is undo all the crap the Democrats put in
their reconciliation bill. And this is where you're going to
find out which Republicans, although there won't be separate votes,
so you won't know which Republicans behind the scenes are
secretly trying to keep provisions of the Democrats so called

(02:12:59):
Inflation Reduction Act. We can get rid of all of
those provisions in our reconciliation bill. But I watch mark
my word, they're not going to do it.

Speaker 3 (02:13:08):
Well, why won't we know who they are?

Speaker 10 (02:13:11):
Because there won't be separate votes on it. This is all, man,
This is all happening behind the scenes.

Speaker 3 (02:13:16):
I know behind I guess my point being behind the scenes,
some fill in the blank with the negative reference comment
Republican is saying no, no, no, no, we can't do that. Well,
out that person. I mean, this is what I'm saying.
That's why shame them. Tell Donald Trump that this. Yeah,
I want to use FCC non compliant language when we're

(02:13:37):
referring to people like that. But that's where I say,
shame them. Bring them out into the light show the
American people. Who the people are that really aren't Republicans
and are looking forward to the financial collapse of the
United States of America.

Speaker 10 (02:13:52):
Well, I gotta work with these guys, Brian. So behind
the scenes, here's what I'm trying to get in the
reconciliation package. Okay, I would love to get rid of
the Democrats reconciliation package. But I know most of that's
not gonna get gone be gone, but put some of
They are going to put things like no tax on tips,

(02:14:14):
which was one of Trump's you know provisions, it's actually
my bill. Okay, so I'm all for it. We'll put
that in there, no tax on tips. There'll be extending
you know, the tax cuts that all American families benefited from.
If you pay taxes, that'll be in there. But I
think we should put other things in there.

Speaker 8 (02:14:33):
Now.

Speaker 10 (02:14:33):
My wish list would include in the Department of Education.
You know, if we're going to think, let's think big.
We should get things like the Prime Act. We should
get rid of Daylight Savings time and I don't care
whether you go to the hour before or the hour behind.
Get rid of changing the clocks twice a year. That's ridiculous,
and Trump wants to do that. You could put that

(02:14:55):
in reconciliation. But here's the big one that I'm working
on behind the scenes. This comes out of my committee,
the Judiciary Committee. I've been talking to Senator Mike Lee
about this. We all know it needs to get done.
It would fundamentally change the structure of government and it
would be stuck in there forever. For the good of
the American people, it would restore the war our government's

(02:15:15):
supposed to work, and that is get the Rains Act
in the Reconciliation Package, the Rains Act for the new listeners.
He says that if the executive branch makes some kind
of rule that has a large economic impact on the country,
it has to come back to Congress and we have
to vote on it because we are the lawmaking body.

(02:15:36):
We are the authority according to the Constitution. But we've
let the executive branch run wild make all these rules.
The ATF they're banning things. There's no constitutional basis for it.
But if we had this provision the Rains Act in there.
For instance, when they banned the shoulder stocks, you know stocks,

(02:15:57):
and all the other stuff they try to ban. They're
trying to change the definition of firearm receivers so they
can ban more stuff, regulate more stuff. That would have
to come back to Congress. All of those things is
stuff the EPA does that would have to come back
to Congress. When they're try to declare CO two at pollutant,
then we vote is it a pollutant? And people said, well,
aren't you going to have more lobbyists in Congress trying

(02:16:19):
to get congressmen to influence congressmen. Guess what, Brian the lobbyist.
Most of them have left Congress. They're over the executive branch,
lobbying bureaucrats who aren't accountable to voters. Sure, bring those
lobbyists back to Congress where they're trying to lobby people
who at least have to stand in front of the
American public every two years and be up for election

(02:16:40):
where they're accountable to the people.

Speaker 3 (02:16:42):
All Right, anyway that brings out makes perfect sense. It
sounds logical, reasonable. The accountability lands back in your life.
You have control over the regulatory expanding and overreaching regulatory branch.
It saves you five, six, eight, ten years worth of
fighting it in court to get to the Supreme Court.
Who will say the same thing that you're saying the
basically are the Republicans who are against that?

Speaker 10 (02:17:06):
Yeah, they're going to be people in Trump's administration who
will be against it. Now, I don't think Trump himself
would be against it, because he understood he wants a legacy.
Because it really does constrain the power of the executive
branch and puts more power in the legislative branch. On
the campaign trail, you know, there were candidate Ron DeSantis

(02:17:30):
committed to the Rains Act, but I didn't hear President
Trump commit to the Rains Act. Although I do think
he would be in favor of it, because he and
some of his brighter staff would be in favor of it.
They're going to be people working for President Trump who
don't want the Rains Act because the regulations of the
executive in need of scrutiny. That's what RAIN stands for,

(02:17:52):
and it gives the it you know, now the President
could it doesn't take away his power to undo regulations
that haven't put place. In my opinion, or maybe we
need to make that explicit in the Rains Act language
that we're trying to get into reconciliation. But I want
the people listening to your show right now to know

(02:18:13):
that behind the scenes, I'm trying to get some big
stuff in reconciliation, and one of those things is the
Rains Act, and I'm working with Senators and other members
of Congress to do that, and it's a behind the
scenes battle.

Speaker 3 (02:18:26):
Well, I wish you all the best on that one.
I will look forward to hearing from you in terms
of the progress you're making or not, as the case
may be. And bring me a list of names. I
want names. I want to be able to out these people.
I want to be able to embarrass them. I want
to help the American people get in touch with those
who are standing in the way of some sanity and
raining in the entire regular stories regulatory state, which is

(02:18:50):
basically liberty reducing. And that's the bottom line for me.
Congressman Thomas Massey, always a distinct pleasure. Keep fighting a
good fight, and I'll look forward to hopefully some great
success during this administration.

Speaker 3 (02:22:34):
Well, yeah, starting the year, starting the year off on

Speaker 11 (02:22:39):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:22:40):
All right, well anyhow, welcome back in a happy new year.
I cannot how many years have we been at this year, Honor.
It's just time flies by so quickly. But it's been
like a decade, hasn't it.

Speaker 17 (02:22:54):
Yes, yes, it does seem that way.

Speaker 3 (02:22:56):
My dear friend, always makes the week more special to
have you on show. So I can't thank you enough
for spending time with my listeners and me every Wednesday
at this time. And of course i'm you know, I'm
in a great position here to get the advance copy
of your column coming out tonight at midnight. Killing the
Constitution at GITMO. We've talked about GETMO quite a few
times and the trampling on constitutional rights and the idea

(02:23:20):
that torturing people is of course inappropriate, and all the
whys and warforce. But as I understand, the administration released
eleven of the GETMO detainees after twenty years of incarceration.
They got like fifteen left, including college Sheik Muhammad. Were
these the ones that are still there? Were they the

(02:23:41):
ones that were subject to that plea deal they pulled
the plug on last minute?

Speaker 16 (02:23:46):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
Yes, and the plea deal.

Speaker 17 (02:23:49):
This is interesting Brian, You'll appreciate it as an attorney,
and people generally familiar with the system will Normally, these
plea deals are instigated by the defendants because they want
to reduce their exposure to jail time or in this case,
they want to avoid the death penalty. This plea deal

(02:24:12):
was instigated by the prosecutors. This is the second full
team of prosecutor. Prosecutors rotate in and out. That's the
problem with the military at tribunals. Military assignments change every
three or four years. There is no human being in
the College Sheik Muhammad case today who was in it

(02:24:32):
when it was started, except for a couple of the
defense lawyers and College Sheik Muhammad himself were on judge
number five and complete change of prosecutorial team number two.
The judges rotate through every four years. The prosecutors rotate
in and out. The prosecutorial team is huge. Full disclosure.
I was consulted by the or. I consulted the first

(02:24:56):
prosecutorial team because the gen all the chief prosecutor, Mark
Martin's was and is a friend of mine, and we
spent the day discussing their civil liberties issues. I was
in a room with ten other people. None of those
people is in the case today. Okay, so you've got
a completely different set of prosecutors. They look at the

(02:25:17):
evidence of torture and say, A, we can't defend this,
or we will lose our licenses to practice law. B. Therefore,
we're not going to use any evidence obtained from the torture. Therefore,
C we're going to initiate settlement negotiations.

Speaker 16 (02:25:37):
They do it.

Speaker 17 (02:25:37):
The judge says fine.

Speaker 10 (02:25:38):
The judges Judge.

Speaker 17 (02:25:39):
Number five, in order for him to try the case,
he has to read, hang on to your chair, forty
thousand pages of documents and transcripts accumulated by Judges one
through four.

Speaker 3 (02:25:56):
Everybody has an interest in settling this.

Speaker 17 (02:25:58):
They agree away settlement which takes the death penalty off
the table, which takes Florence, Colorado America Supermax two hundred
and fifty feet below the service of the Earth off
the table, which requires a guilty plea under oath standard
and federal court, but at which the judge, the prosecutors,

(02:26:18):
and lawyers for the victims can interrogate College Sheik Muhammad,
and if he doesn't answer truthfully, he can be prosecuted
for perjury. That plea deal is signed off on by
the judge, the prosecutors of the defense attorneys, the defendant himself,
and the General in the Pentagon in charge of all

(02:26:39):
of these prosecutions, herself a former chief of the Military
Court of Appeals. When Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense,
finds out about this, and I'm not going to go
along with it, I want them exposed to the death penalty.
He then orders the military prosecutors who instigated the settlement,
who crafted the settlement, who got the judge to accept it,

(02:27:03):
to ask the judge to change his mind. Judge said, sorry,
this is a contract. It's a deal to reduce to writing.
Everybody signed it. That was appealed to the Military Court
of Appeals last week. The Military Court of Appeals upheld
the plea agreement. Next week that plea will take place.
So that's where we are now. It involves two other people.

(02:27:25):
And by the way, they get a much nicer place
to live at Gittmo. Nobody would want to live at Gitmo,
but it's a hell of a lot nicer than two
hundred and fifty feet below the surface of the earth
in Florence, Colorado.

Speaker 3 (02:27:40):
Well, I guess that has to be viewed. I mean
by I think a rational reasonable person as a good outcome,
because well.

Speaker 2 (02:27:49):
In good outcome because of the.

Speaker 17 (02:27:56):
Damage done to the judicial systemation of this Devil's Island,
and by the torture. If college Sheik Muhammad had not
been tortured, and if the prosecutors didn't have this problem
of torture about which I've written extensively, and you and
I have spoken extensively, and if this were just a
simple prosecution in the Southern District of New York, he

(02:28:18):
would either have been executed by now or in Florence,
Colorado for the rest of us life, or acquitted and
sent home. He wouldn't have been on trial for twenty
years and on judge number five.

Speaker 3 (02:28:33):
And yeah, that actually is amazing. And I presume that
the new batch of prosecutors that come in for the
fourth time or however many also would have had to
go through forty thousand pages of transcripts and evidence and information, yes,
in order for them to come to the crips. That's correct.

Speaker 17 (02:28:48):
You mentioned the eleven people that Biden let go under
cover of darkness. I don't blame him for doing undercover
of darkness. They were there for twenty years. They were
all torture. None of them was charged with a single offense.

Speaker 3 (02:29:04):
And see that's what I was.

Speaker 17 (02:29:05):
Incarcerated, confined, tortured in jail for twenty years, not charged
with a crime, not prosecuted.

Speaker 2 (02:29:14):
This is America.

Speaker 3 (02:29:15):
It shouldn't be happening to anyone. I agree with you
wholeheartedly on that. I mean, it's one of those there,
but for the grace of God go I I mean,
we locked up Japanese citizens of the United States and
internment camps back of World War Two. I still can't
believe that happened. But it's a historical fact. So you
really do have to take this very seriously, regardless of
how you feel about any of the guys that got
let go. But in terms of let's just focus real

(02:29:38):
quickly on colleague Saik Muhammad. Do you have any concept
of what evidence would remain that would be able to
be presented to the jury once you pull out the
torture testament to the stuff that would be inadmissible in
any court of law in the United States. Is there
still sufficient evidence of criminality such as you could get

(02:29:59):
proof beyond a re it will doubt that the guy
was guilty of something worthy of incarceration or possibly even
the death penalty. You know, it's hard to say.

Speaker 17 (02:30:08):
Because so many people have been tortured in this case,
including the witnesses that the government has cut deals with
preparing to testify against him. There must be some evidence.
The problem is, here's what the prosecutors told the judge

(02:30:29):
when they said, not only can we not defend torture,
but we're concerned about the reaction around the world when
the world learns what the American government did to him.
Because once we introduce any evidence involving or arguably derived

(02:30:49):
from torture, he can then put his psychiatrists on the stand,
who will testify to what the government did to them.
They tortured him one hundred and eighty three times that
we know of. Some of the records and most of
the videotapes were destroyed by the CIA, so it is
difficult to say. This is why you'd have to read
the forty thousand pages to decide which evidence was derived

(02:31:14):
from torture and which evidence was not.

Speaker 3 (02:31:17):
Well and I know that that decision has.

Speaker 17 (02:31:19):
Even been made yet by any of the four judges,
and it certainly hasn't been made by this new judge,
who as far as I know, hasn't read the forty
thousand pages yet.

Speaker 3 (02:31:27):
Well, and since college Chig Muhammad as well as the
others are represented by counsel, I feel fairly confident by
them being willing to enter into this plea deal that
they do believe there is sufficient presentable evidence that their
client could get convicted, so this is a better deal.
Maybe that's why they made the recommendation, but we're all
left to speculate at this point. But in so far
as the other guys that were released under cover of darkness,

(02:31:48):
no charges ever brought against them, even after being incarcerated
in twenty years, I would imagine they didn't have sufficient
evidence of criminality in those cases.

Speaker 17 (02:31:58):
Yes, yeah, you know, I've been harshly critical of George W. Bush,
and I'm unrelenting the whole concept of let's go to Cuba.
The federal laws don't apply, the Constitution doesn't imply, and
best of all, this pesky federal judges can interfere with you.
Five out of five cases the Supreme Court said no, no, no, no,

(02:32:19):
and no federal laws apply. The Constitution applies, and federal
courts have jurisdiction oh, let's create our own system. Military
men will vote in favor of execution immediately and they
won't be offended by torture. Well, and the one jury trial,
one jury trial that occurred there, the military men on

(02:32:40):
the jury were so repulsed by the torture they voted
unanimously to convict and then voted eight to one for clemency. Well, well,
that's the mess that Bush and company created. God forbid

(02:33:01):
any of this should become a precedent. Seven hundred and
eighty prisoners at its height, five hundred million dollars a
year to operate. There's now fifteen prisoners remaining and a
thousand guards.

Speaker 3 (02:33:18):
My word, Judge Jenninapolitano spelling it out like it is,
got it? It's do we have to start the new
year with this?

Speaker 6 (02:33:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (02:33:29):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (02:33:30):
You know, the topics haven't exactly been enlightening or fun
or uplifting and so far as the conversations have been
having during the week anyhow, So can you continue with me?
But you got to talk about it. People need to
be aware of this. It's extremely important and I'm glad
you have the wherewithal in the backbone to bring this
to the American people's attention. It's important, all right, New year,

(02:33:53):
new judging freedom. Who's on today?

Speaker 17 (02:33:56):
Kyle Lambs alone, Aaron Mante, Phil Geraldi, the Secrets Sir,
the CIA agent who told George W. Bush personally in
the Oval Office that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons
of mass instruction and Bush threw him out. And Professor
Jeffrey Sachs, a leading light of peace, whose speech at

(02:34:16):
the Oxford Union in Great Britain shortly before Christmas was
just posted on truth Social buy Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (02:34:24):

things like that. And we've got you to talk to
every Wednesday. Looking forward to the next Wednesday. Already you're
