Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Final five. That's g I k r C the Talk
day Show, Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Say, well, it was a vacation.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
I'm the dude man you maybe, but I'm Brian Thomas,
host to the fifty five kr S Morning Show. Appreciate
Gary Jeff Walker covering from me. Yesterday. Just a disastrous
day for me. Yesterday. I was supposed to get that
uh glaucoma thing done Monday afternoon and that provider, I

(00:49):
would argue, misled me. So all I got was a
blank and pressure test two of them and it only
took me two hours sitting in the office for that
and then like no, we're not doing the procedure today.
Like what? Uh? I was furious anyway, So sorry, don't
want to go back down that road. You'll walk away

(01:12):
from the ledge on Monday after I got that news.
Any hell, thank you Garret Jeff Walker. Nonetheless, uh, feel
free to call you. Got something to say, love to
hear from you. Five one, three, seven eight two to
three talko with Pound five fifty on at and t
founds if you are so inclined. Fifty five carecy dot
com for the podcast page and for all the information
posted there, along with your Iheartmediappach. I always recommend getting

(01:34):
a copy of that when you're over there, downloaded and
listen to content wherever you happen to be stream the audio,
even for folks out of the state, which I appreciate.
Got a call from a guy in Cleveland the last
on Monday, which was cool. And of course folks like
New Hampshire, Gary, Mississippi James and folks calling in from
Florida residents former residence of the city still listen to
the fifty five Case Morning Show, and that's it just

(01:56):
warms my heart. Also warming my heart every time I
have a conversation with Jack than coming up at seven
oh five every Wednesday, The Big Picture with Jack Otherden
today a history of the Ivory Tower. That's good, all right,
looking forward to hearing what Jack has to say, because
I'm not quite sure which direction he's gonna go with that,
But then again, I never am. Donovan and Neil Americans
for Prosperity at seven point thirty. They have launched the

(02:19):
Save our Salary campaign here in Ohio and support of
the two point seven five percent flat tax statewide campaign,
calling in Ohio Senate to pass the two point seventy
five flat personal income tax, replacing these states what is
described as outdated and burdened some progressive tax code tax
reform in Ohio. I'll take it. Congressman Warren Davidson. Glad

(02:41):
he's on the program today at seven forty. We'll talk
about the Big Beautiful Bill with Congressman Davidson and ask
him about Trump arrangement syndrome. The bill he sponsored to
have a study done to determine if Trump arrangement syndrome
is a real thing. And I think it actually is,
but really kind of interested in asking the question did

(03:03):
he do this kind of as a is it a
real effort or is he just doing it to I
don't know, stir the pot could be better. It could
be both. Who knows? And the Golden dumb You heard
about that at the top of the hour. Our own
missile defense system. Since we provide them to almost every
other country in the world, we don't have our own.
This seemed kind of strange. In the days of hypersonic

(03:25):
missiles which can be fired from China or Russia and
arrive here on a moment's notice. It's like one of
those things like seven times the speed of sound or something. Anyhow,
shooting one of those down apparently a real challenge. Greg
Raminski Ford regional salesman, or he'll be a manager. He'll
be in studio to talking about the Ford Oval of Honor,

(03:45):
a ceremony that I have been able to participate in
for years which just also warms my heart, honoring American
veterans at Great American Ballpark and it's a big turnout
this year. I'm looking forward to speaking a few words
to the veterans there and of course the festivities that
go along with that. So that'll we'll get the details

(04:07):
from Greg at eight five Judge Jennita Poulatana like any
other Wednesday A thirty with a judge today, government attacks
on private property and Donald Trump's attacks on Congressman Thomas Massey.
So in addition to the subject matter and judge of
Poulatano's column, uh, We're going to wonder and ask why
Donald Trump's having to go at Congressman Massey because the

(04:29):
big beautiful bill is going to increase spending. It's going
to actually maintain biden Air levels of spending, not really
provide the a sufficient cut, well sufficient cuts period, don't
f with medicaid, he said, Donald Trump said, really, okay,
I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but we'll

(04:51):
definitely get an earful from a judge of paulton his
attack on Congressman Massy. Get the details of that shortly.
And Joe japp USS Cincinnati Memorial is taking shape. That's right,
the Conning Tower from the submarine USS Cincinnati. So that'll
be at eight forty five, closing the show out on
a cool thing that's happening locally. Speaking of cool things

(05:13):
happening locally, I guess I don't know. I don't know
how I feel about this. We finally find out the
money that was placed from the sale of the railroad,
which I objected to selling the railroad. We used to
get like thirty five million dollars lease payment. It was
our railroad, We owned it, they leased it from us.
There was no way they could do without it. At

(05:35):
Norfolk Southern anyway, that money was placed in trust has
resulted in a payout without diving into principal, fifty six
million dollars for fiscal year twenty twenty six, which starts
July first, which basically more than double the money the
city brought in for the Norfolk Southern lease payments on
the railroad. Maybe and I told you so, a moment

(05:57):
for those who wanted to sell the railroad. Although I
really have a johnist, I have skepticism on this. Fine.
We're getting more money in, but this freeze counsel up
from the obligation to allocate precious and fewer and fewer
taxpayer dollars to take care of the things they're supposed
to take care of, providing them an opportunity to expand
their woke agenda, which is what they what they keep

(06:18):
continuing to do. Alan Zering, the manager at a director
at UBS, which manages the Railway Trust Fund, said, we
have almost sixty million dollars of income produced in the
trust since its inception. Now that's in spite of the
market challenges that some have faced under the market's gone up,
the market's gone down. We've seem to have bounced back
from the turbulence. So you've regained all of your losses

(06:41):
if you have a four toh one K investment in
spite of the Trump tariffs. So they point out that, yeah,
I said, we are thrilled with both the performance and
the growth of the portfolio, but specifically that we were
secure in the income generation for the city. That again
from Alan's airing. The managing director Council member Jeff Cramerting,

(07:02):
speaking with WCPO reporting on this thank you, Andrew Rowan,
He's chair of the Cincinni Budget and Finance Committee, said
the additional thirty million from the railroad sale and infrastructure
projects is significant, saying, I think citizens are really going
to see an improvement in infrastructure and roads. Number of
our roads are in very bad condition. Oh, that was
really stating the obvious. I expect that to be number

(07:25):
one priority now. Budget document draft that CPO obtained says
at least eighteen point three million of that total fifty
six million, we'll go towards street rehabilitation. That document also
suggests other major proposed expenditures include overhauling Victory Parkway near

(07:47):
Eden Park, the State to Central Complete Street project. Initial
caps on all of that. I don't know what the
details are on that one. Also upgrades to the Dunham
Recreation Center in Westwood. It's a draft document. They say
it could be changed before the budget press conference on Friday.
Also shows millions for the city's fleet garage facility, which

(08:09):
we found out according to Todd Zenders, their citizen watchdog,
speaking here on the fifty five Cartersday Morning show, They've
known for a long time that a whole lot of
the Cincinnati fleet is not working, in need of significant repairs,
millions of dollars worth of repairs and replacement. Grammerting said
about the fleet facility, workers were working in unacceptable conditions,

(08:30):
working in the cold, in the snow, and did not
have a facility that let them maintain the trucks. Really
calling it a big project, he said, and the sale
of the railway really moves that up. What would they
have done without the year return on investment on this one?
Good question mark. So the disbursements from the trust begin

(08:53):
July first. Seth Wall's council member says he's pushing for
the administration to quickly begin implementation of the projects once
the budget is approved. We gotta get this money out.
We gotta start showing the impact, he said. We got
to protect our footabloney jobs, he said. I think the
gap that often falls and where people start to get
cynical like me, is that it's not for another year

(09:16):
or two or two years until you start seeing progress.
We're saying, they're a priority. Now it's time to make
them a priority. Well, hell, how many years have you
been letting the roads and infrastructure fall apart? You haven't
kept up with the minimum requirements in your own budget
year after year after year. Of course, the citizens are
going to get upset about this. What the hell have
you done nothing? It appears my road still is. It

(09:38):
is a state of disarray. Looks like it came from
Gaza sunset. Anyhow, it is Honor Fly Tri State Day.
I got an email from our Facebook message from Curbage
Mike my submarine or friend. He's down there doing the
sendoff ceremony with the eighty eight veterans. I believe it's

(09:58):
eighty eight. That's something that they typically take, which means
tonight CVEG is the place to be nine pm. Park
in the structure if there's a space there, park in
the long term parking, and catch the shuttle. According to
the Honor Flight tri State website, level see a CVG.
Turn immediately to the right past the ticket counters to
the large rotunda with the large murals on the wall.

(10:22):
I just say follow the people because there are always
a huge number of people there and what is just
a great opportunity to take young people to witness patriotism
and salute the American veterans. So worthy endeavor that, and
it's the last one until September. Next honor flight September tenth,

(10:43):
followed by the one October twenty eighth, So good thing
to do. Show up at CVG tonight again nine pm.
Stick around. We've got plenty more to talk about, and
I hope you feel free to call. You can if
you feel free, or you do feel free, you're welcome.
Five one three seven nine fifty five E two three
talk USA Insulation Premium phone. It's the greatest return on investment,

(11:03):
a guaranteed return on investment. You can't say that about
the railroad money because the market could have collapsed and
they wouldn't have gotten a return on investment. But just
a great illustration because USA returns every single day with
the comfort, most notably the day one you get that installed,
you're going to notice the more comfortable home, and on
days and weeks and months whenever you use the HVAC system,

(11:27):
it's going to cost you less money. I guarantee, so
lower energy bills, immediate improvement and comfort. The product will
pay for itself. And it will continue to deliver on
that investment. I don't think there's anything else in the
world you can say that about. And it's only ninety
nine bucks a month interest free. You probably will save
that much on your energy bill. I guess, depending on
your circumstances. I don't want to overstate it, but a

(11:48):
lot of my listeners have let me know they saved
huge amounts of money. So it's just a terrific investment
for your home. If you're under insulated or uninsulated, just
called USA. They'll do a free inspection and provide you
with a free quote. Yeah, twelve hundred dollars energy tax

Dot net fifty five KRC the talk station most.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Here.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
It is your Channel nine first morning weather forecast Today,
mostly cloudy sky is isolated afternoon star showers. They say
most locations will not see rainfall today. Sixty eight for
the high today, down to forty eight overnight with mostly
cloudy skys Tomorrow, mostly cloudy uh few rain sprinkles possible
sixty for the high Thursday night down to forty five

(12:40):

Right now with the five PIRCD talk station five point
twenty on a Wednesday, and a happy one to you
five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five night hundred
eight two three talk go with Top five fifty on
eighteen and t phones. Well, how about some good news

(13:02):
sprinkled into the mixt here. I just checked gas Buddy.
I saw this article about Memorial Day gasoline prices, and
I just filled my tank up the other day. Was
really pleasantly surprised by the price per gallon. It's under
three bucks. I did a gas buddy search for my
zip code four one four h as well as four
five two to two, since any zip code two ninety
nine and a lot of places around where I live.

(13:25):
It's two eighty nine, So pretty amazing drop. And that
was reported gas Buddy talking about yesterday, announcing that the
Forecaster national average price of gasoline threes eight per gallon
on Memorial Day, the cheapest since twenty twenty one, and
after adjusting for inflation, the lowest price that you and

(13:47):
I will pay for gasoline since two thousand and three.
They say it's not expected to be short lived. Prices
of gasoline expected to average around three to zero two
between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and of course with
prices falling below three bucks, which is what we've got
already in our area. How about that, gas Buddy said

(14:07):
in news release yesterday, American road trip culture remains resilient. Indeed,
sixty nine percent of Americans plan on taking a road
trip this summer. National average last summer three fifty eight
per gallon a Memorial Day. They say that the lower
price is a result of increased oil production that has
lowered crude oil prices Brent crude currently sixty five dollars

(14:30):
and change, down from eighty three dollars and seventy one
cents a year ago. They say their calculation that this
year will see the lowest Memorial Day gas prices since
two thousand and three, that excludes twenty twenty one, gasoline
and oil prices went to a huge free fall because of, yes,
the pandemic. So Donald Trump delivering and I'm sure Donald
Trump takes credit for this because his policies are different

(14:52):
than the Biden administration. And do you believe this, it's
being a divide administration. You know, we were all reeling
from the waking up reality that we've been lied to
now for years and years about Joe Biden's cognitive declient,
all the books coming out, all the people you know,
issuing apologies and looking forward. I don't want to talk

(15:13):
about what I lie to you about, says the mainstream media.
We're looking forward now, says every politician who surrounded Joe
Biden for the four years he was in office, refusing
to let us know the realities of it. Turns out
his doctors weren't even bothered testing him for prostate cancer
with a PSA test, was announced yesterday. Former President Joe
Biden's last known prostate cancer blood screening test was twenty fourteen,

(15:39):
that an announcement from his spokesperson. So during his entire
presidency he didn't get a PSA test, most notably at
his age. Hell, I've been getting there for years. They're
not expensive. Apparently, the Biden administration's me a couple of oh, well,
we didn't do a PSA test because it was because
of the expense. Oh, come on, now, he's got an

(16:05):
aggressive form of cancer. And all the doctors that have
been interviewed about this, and these people are knowledgeable about
their area of practice, cancer and prostay cancer, most notably said, Mmm,
this didn't happen overnight. It certain didn't. It certainly didn't
happen since he dropped out of the presidential race, when
up until the moment of that debate everyone was pushing
for him. He probably had to say many of these

(16:27):
doctors for the entire period of time he was president
of the United States of America. Does It remains unclear
if Biden decided to forego the screen for prostate specific
anagen or if his medical team made that decision without
consulting him. I'm sure that Joe Biden, given his cognitive decline,
wasn't even aware. He probably even know what a PSA
test was. Don't you rely on your physicians? Isn't it

(16:50):
best practices? At after age seventy? I think that you
get the PSA test, if not earlier than that. US
Preventative Service Task Force, a government backed volunteer panel of
expert that makes preventative health recommendations advises against PSA screening
from many ages seventy above, based on concerns about false
positive and overtreating low risk forms of disease. Other groups

(17:14):
recommend that men make a decision on whether to consider
screening with their doctors depending on the personal health or
other factors. If you get a false positive, then you
can further investigate it, although false positives are not what happens.
Every time you got a PSA it's gone through the roof.
Your doctor might want to further investigate it. No, we
don't want to bother to an additional medical test, So

(17:35):
just don't do it fly blind. Allow your cancer to
metastasize because well you know, yeah, you just resulting a
whole bunch of stuff that we don't need to do. Really, Ah,
I don't know. It's irked me, as you can tell.

(18:01):
And I I mean, I hate cancer. Cancer sucks, right.
I don't wish any ill will on president or former
President Joe Biden. I wouldn't wish prostate cancer on anybody.
But he's was president of the United States of America,
leader or at least, you know, puppet leader of the

(18:22):
free world. You think his physicians would have looked into
that a little bit five twenty five if I five
krec DE talk station. Let us see here big focus

Five KRC grab your shits you're from five forty nine.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Fout karr se dot com for you. Rightheartmedia at CDG
Airport tonight for nine pm meeting and we welcome home
ceremony for the American veterans returning on unterfly Tristate five
one three two three talk Where in the hell you been? Tom,
Welcome back to the morning show. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Yeah, sorry about that. I had to drop back to
starting it by for a few days and take care
of some uh some some things that needed to be
drafted before some big inspection.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
So that's okay. A little worried about you. I told
people to send out a search party.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Yeah, Well currently if you're if you're ever looking for me,
try somewhere.

Speaker 7 (20:36):
At UC.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Fair enough.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
It's gonna be weird when when I get set somewhere else.
It's gonna be weird. I'm gonna have to struggle with
my car because it's just used to going the same.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Spot every day, so autopilot.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Anyway, But I am definitely looking forward to, uh going
to another job. So anyway, your your last story about
Biden not being tested? Now, does any do you really
believe that a government official was not subject to any
and every test medical tests? I mean, think about you

(21:10):
and I. They go to the doctor, they come up
with all kinds of reasons to test us and screen
us and have us go get blood work for this,
that and the other thing, and and to just keep
reracking it up. And when you were saying something about
it was too expensive, that was that actually one of
the really reasons? Were you just making that up?

Speaker 8 (21:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I did read that.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
I mean, does anyone believe that the government did not
do something because it was too expensive?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
No?

Speaker 5 (21:40):
I mean, seriously, there's no way that story is true.
It can't possibly be true, because that is about That's
about as big of a lion as I have heard
coming from the government. It's too expensive to the government,
nothing is too expensive.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well in the you know, leader of the free world,
I mean, they would spare no expense. I would imagine,
you know, it's going to ethical condition, they're going to
treat it. He's going to get the best possible treatment
that is out there.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
And of all the things that the government spends money on,
I wouldn't have a problem with making sure that the
president of the United States was making was in good
health and making sure you were doing everything you could
to catch things early.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
And all that.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
I got no problem with that. But of course it
further gives us proof that he really wasn't the leader
of the free world. He was, as you said, just
a puppet commander achieved or whatever a puppet achieved or
whatever you want to call it. So more evidence that
this was all a big sham. And you know, you

(22:40):
might want to feel sorry for Joe, Okay, maybe, but
he had a long time, lots of decades of putting
a lot of hard work and effort into being a
career politician and putting himself right where he wanted to
be anyway, so I kind of temper that feeling sorry
for him a little bit either way. Don't vote Democrat.

(23:02):
Have a great day, Brian.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Good to hear back from you. Tom. You two Yeah,
I just like, I don't know, because I guess Democrats
don't want to talk to me. But I would feel betrayed.
I would if it was the Republican Party did that.
I would feel betrayed the lies. If the Republican Party

(23:26):
had control of the mainstream media and they perpetuated lies
over and over and over and over and over again,
and you really didn't really grasp what was going on
because of the lies, I would be a little upset.
It's like, you know, being upset with the Republicans in Columbus.
Here in state of Ohio. Yeah, it's like being upset
with with Michael Wais governor. Do you feel like, you know,

(23:46):
sometimes he isn't operating in the best interest at least
alone in terms of what the Republican Party stands for,
Like elected officials would be willing to give the Cleveland
Brown six hundred million dollars to build their big, beautiful stadium.
Little things like that, and then there's also the old
Larry Householder energy scandal as well, things that go along

(24:07):
those lines. Anyway, let us see here who's running against
Congressman Thomas Massey in twenty twenty six. Of course, after
President Donald Trump told reporters the other day that Grand
Standard Thomas Massey should be voted out of office because
he's against these insane spending levels that will be in
it well maintained at of the Big Beautiful Bill. So

(24:31):
what about he challenge him? Still, early three Democrats and
a Republican have said they will run against Massey. Now,
Massey has won every election since he took office in
twenty twelve, winning him overwhelming the twenty twenty four GOP primary.
He got seventy six percent of the vote. Democrats didn't
even bother running a candidate so staunchly fiscally conservative. Yes,

(24:58):
So here are the challengers Republicans. Nicki Lee Ehington from Taylorsville,
registered nurse, lived in Spencer County more than twenty years.
Her website states where she and her husband raised their
children and their family farm. This is reporting from Jolene
alamandaries from the Enquirer. That's all we got on her,
Nicky Lee Ethington. As far as the Democrats are concerned,

(25:19):
Monica Dean of Crestwood, described as a Navy veteran's single mom,
grew up in northern Ohio, currently lives in Oldham County
northeast of Louisville. That's according to her website. News release
about her candidacy, she said she's running to offer voters
a clear alternative to the extremist politics of incumbent Thomas.
Massey also listed Jesse Russell Brewer of Villa Hills with

(25:42):
no information and Elizabeth A. Mason Hill of Villa Hills.
Both candidates filed petitions, though neither candidate has a website yet,
so big mysteries surrounding who they are and what they
stand for. Question. Well, my friends in the Commonwealth turn
their backs on Congressman Massey because he at least is
thing true to constitutional principles, staying true to fiscal responsibility. No,

(26:05):
thank you dad from beyond five poin thirty five right now,
if you have Kesey the talk station New Hampshire, Gary,
hold on, if you don't mind for a minute here,
I will be happy to take your call before we
get to the stack. Is stupid, and I'm strongly recommending
everybody needs great dentists or a dentist got to take
care of your teeth. That's why I recommend doctors Fred

(26:26):
Peck and doctor Meghan Freu. The Dynamic duo of dentistry
and most notably, cosmetic dentistry. Doctor Fredpeck is nationally renowned
for his just amazing cosmetic dentistry, transformative changing people's lives
for a long long time. He's an accredited Fellow with
the American and Cosmetic Dentistry and only three dentists in
the entire state of Ohio for reached that status. Doctor

(26:47):
Freu is on her way to accreditation, so we get
her fresh perspective. Doctor Fredpeck's years of experience to transform
your life by transforming your smile and as far as
general dentistry goes, I don't think you could find a
better pair for folks who hate the dentist. You're nobody
can hate doctor Meghan Frew. We t you meet her.
She's amazing and I feel that way about doctor Fred

(27:07):
Peck has been my general dentist for more than a decade.

(27:29):
five one three sixty one seventy six sixty six. That's
five one three six two one seventy six sixty six
fifty five KRC. What if you had an extra thousand dollars,
it's five forty one fifty five KRCD talk station go
for you to call five one three, seven four nine
fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk on
five fifty on eight and t phones order in which
they receive beginning with New Hampshire Gary, Gary, welcome back, man.

(27:51):
It's good to hear from you this morning.

Speaker 8 (27:53):
Good to hear from you, Brian. I hope you're feel
feels better from your surgery.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
I didn't get it. I was ranting about that when
I opened the show. I showed up and they actually
only did a pressure test twice, and it took me
two hours to get that. So obviously in sense that
I felt like I was lied to. So I gotta
wait till July. Now, don't don't don't push me close
to that ledge again. Man, I was so upset I

(28:19):
would name them by name.

Speaker 8 (28:22):
Step away from the legs. It's gonna be all right, Yeah,
doctors drive me crazy too. Hey, tell me about the
Joe Biden. You know, everybody's lying on the Democrat side,
And don't get me wrong, did lie on the Republican
side because it's all power. But I think it does

(28:42):
show the corruption of the media and the bias of
the media that they would only lie for one side.
So it doesn't really surprise me because a generation that
would be as pro abortion as one side appears to
be on the Democrat side, that they would chop up
babies and not think anything about it, or at least

(29:05):
they have a moral compass that that's that that that
far off. It doesn't surprise me that they would lie,
they would cheat or kill anything that gets in the
way of all power. That's just the way I feel
about it.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, on a lot of levels, I certainly understand how
you've arrived at that conclusion, my friend.

Speaker 8 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just so disappointed in our country,
you know, I really am. We've lost her way.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
We really have well in many respects, But look at
it this way. Who won the election last fall? Trump
in spite of the overwhelming negative press he's been getting
now for years and years and years the idea that
there even is such a concept as Trump derangement syndrome,
which we'll talk about cores or with the Congressman Davidson
later in the program. He won nonetheless, he won the

(30:00):
popular vote. He's president in spite of all of that.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
No, I get that, I get that. But the thing
is is, I look at Congress and the big beautiful bill.
We haven't cut spending. Everything that's been done in the
last one hundred and thirty days can be undone with
the next AOC presidency with a Democrat Congress and Senates,

(30:25):
because the Congress and Senate still has the senment of
the people and it's more center left. I would call
it ye than there's anything, especially the Senate, you know.
And I really don't think that they're going to cut
any spending or that they're going to put anything permanent
in immigration reform that's going to be meaningful.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'm with you on that. And Ans the Republicans who
capitulate on the idea of even cutting things. And there's
Republicans and these high tax states that are arguing for
that salt increase like up to sixty thousand dollars. I mean,
they have no conservative principles at all, and they're the
ones that are holding this thing up. So it's frustrating, man,

(31:12):
I understand Again. I turned to Columbus and kind of
see the same thing with the Republican Party here in Ohio.
Just just so disappointing. Pete, welcome to the program, Thanks
for calling this morning.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Good morning, Brian. On the subject that combo with Thomas
Massey and Rand Paul, I really admire their conservative values
and I agree with them one hundred percent, but what's
going on? I think that like our country and the
world economically are hanging by a thread, yes, and Trump

(31:47):
is trying to turn that around. Or for freedom and
the Constitution and all this stuff, like Rand Paul every
year comes out with a list of waste fraud use
but can never do anything about it.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
But well that's what that's what does was supposed to
take care.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Of it, right exactly. But my point is is that
for what if they don't get this big beautiful bill through,
which I agree does not cut spending. But if they
don't get it through and the Republicans give the appearance
that they can't govern even though they control all three
francis of government, the midterms put Democrats back in control,

(32:28):
and all of the Republicans will lose all their committee things,
we won't be able to investigate nothing, and they will
completely destroy the balance.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
Of Trump's career.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
And so what I'm saying is they need to give
Trump a chance, get this through, and let him try
to bring all these jobs and companies and business back
and try to grow our way out of this mess
that they got us in. But you can't turn a
ship around in a snap of the fingers. So I
just believe that for one time they need to fight

(33:02):
clip and go with this and give Trump a chance,
because if they don't and we lose midterms, it's going
to completely destroy the rest of trumps.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Well, honestly, on the heels of November, I don't know
how the midterms are such a major concern with the
With the Democrat Party clinging to the far left side
of their platform and and and and and embracing concepts
that most of America hates, I don't know how they
stand a chance of, you know, regaining control of Congress
on the current trajectory. I don't know. Well, I listen

(33:36):
to my popcorns perpetually out Pete Will, let's let the
chips fall where they may. We'll see where things go.

to Toledo, Ohio, where a mechanic has been accused of
killing a man during an argument over car work. Now
convicted of manslaughter court to court records, Fabian Darro appeared
in court this past Monday, where he withdrew his not
guilty plead pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, tampering with evidence,

(35:35):
and having weapons while under disability. Already said Duro turned
himself in October last year, after he shot and killed
a guy named Rashad Ewing argument over work that was
done on a car away Amen brother Grand Jurion dited
Dura in two counts of murder and Flonius assault. He
initially pleaded not guilty last October. Families of Fatibian Duro
and Rashid Ewing all packed into the court room during

(35:58):
the court appearance. Ewing's father said he was an electrician.
He helped a lot of people in the community. We laughed,
we talked about going fishing together. I can't really believe
that this is going on. He was a good young
man and I loved him to death.

Speaker 8 (36:10):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Court documents say Durrow was in the driveway helping a
friend fix a vehicle they were working on. Ewing then
arrived in his car, which he believed Durrow had not
fixed correctly. Dark exchanged word with Ewing before allegedly pulling
out a gun and shooting him twice, at least once
in the head. It's a bit of an overreaction, Joe,

(36:33):
when you think, all right, we go to Florida. Eighteen
year old man in Florida has been arrested for allegedly
killing his eighty one year old roommate, dabbing the victim
more than a hundred times over the weekend, reportedly tell
authorities it was because the elderly man was already dying.
Just Moses Okita taking a custody Sunday charge with one

(36:57):
kind of first degree murder, one kind of tampering with
evidence of the slang of Patrick Benway, whose thorities say
was stabbed one hundred and thirteen times. Paul County Sheriff
Grady Judd in the statement, this was a senseless and
tragic active violence. Our detective friends and combedditant investigators in
Bartown Police Department officers worked diligently to take o'heated custody
and gather evidence to hold him accountable. Ben Benway and Ohita,

(37:23):
we're in living in a group home home being managed
by a place called e T Home Home Care. Oh
He had only moved into the home one day prior
to the stabbing. After being released from a local hospital.
Detectives on the scene interviewed him and allegedly told him
that he did not have any problems with the victim
and described him as a good person. He conferred the

(37:45):
police that he entered Benway's bedroom, who's lying in bed,
stabbed him multiple times. Victim did not physically resist, but
did ask, according to Ohita, why would you want to
do this to me? Before succumbing to his injuries, why
are you doing that? Though i Behuda said he had
no regrets and he wanted to kill him because he
was already dying. Told deputies that after the stabbing of Benway,

(38:07):
he cleaned the murder weapon before putting it back in
the kitchen and allegedly took off his bloodstained clothing and
put him in a laundry basket. Anyhow, man, there's no

(39:12):
a wonderfully patriotic event. He's giving a lot of those,
most notably Vietnam veterans, the well celebration and welcome home

That's the subject Jack could be diving on into Donald

a campaign to support a two point seventy five percent
flat tax for Ohio. Details with Donovan at seven thirty,
followed by Congressman Warren Davidson. Always love having Congressman Davidson
on the program. He'll be talking about the so called

(39:55):
big beautiful bill. His bill for us to fund this
study on Trump derangement syndrome always makes me chuckle when
I think about that. And finally, the Golden Dome. You
may have heard about that, a missile defense shield for
the United States. Just I guess one can speculate and
wonder why we don't have one already, since we pay

(40:17):
for them and send them out to everybody else in
the world. Anyway, Congressman Davidson's thoughts on that again beginning
at seven to forty, followed by eight oh five with
a Greg Raminsky, the Ford regional sales manager, talk about
the Ford Oval honoring American veterans, a great American ballpark,
and I've just been blessed over the years to be
this small participant in that, speaking a few words to

(40:37):
those veterans in the audience who get specifically honored by
the good people at Ford. So Greg on that at
eight five, follow by Judge Ednapolitano. Government attacks on private property,
but he also wants to talk about Donald Trump's attax
on Congressman Massy. We'll get to that in the moment.
Joe japp Uss Cincinnati Memorial is taking shape. That's the

(40:58):
Conning Tower from the submarine USS Cincinnati. So Joe, we'll
explain what's where we are in process on that at
the end of the show five three seven eight two
to three Taco with pound five fifty on AT and
T phones. Speaking of the Big Beautiful Bill closed door meeting,
I guess it was yesterday, Donald Trump urged well the
fiscally responsible conservatives to give up their efforts to cut

(41:21):
Medicaid and also block moderates to drop their drive for
salt relief, saying you need to reunite around this big
beautiful bill. And according to attendees there quote, don't f
around with Medicaid beyond what the is already in the
UH in the terms of conditions of the of the bill,

(41:42):
at least as it exists right now, like a work requirement.
So Trump apparently warned the tax will stating the obvious.
Of course, taxes will increase if they don't get something
done and establish the twenty seventeen tax cuts in this bill.
Though that's the key provision in this he said, what

(42:04):
Republican would vote for that, in other words, vote for
not continuing the tax not raising taxes, he said, because
they wouldn't be Republicans much longer, they would be knocked
out so fast. Really, talking to reporters before the meeting,
claiming the party is in fact united except for what
he called one or two grand standards, and then pointed
out directly Congressman Thomas Massey, who Donald Trump said should

(42:28):
be voted out of office. Post meeting, Trump said there
was great unity in the room, and anybody who didn't
support it as a Republican I would consider to be
a fool. Now, of course they have to maintain unity
because they can only afford a handful of votes to
be lost twenty twenty to twenty thirteen. Majority Democrats, of course,

(42:50):
are united in opposition. Democrat are a Senior White House
officials said Trump made it clear that he's losing patients
with the holdouts that will be the it's pressing for
higher as salt to deductions, and folks like Congress from
Massy or looking at this thing saying spending levels are
digging us into a hole we're never going to be
able to climb out of, which is fact. And speaking

(43:14):
of that, here's the numbers that go along with it.
The Billhouses boys to approve and center, the Senate will
increase rather than the decrease. The Federal Deficit and Debt
Congressional Budget Office in March issue to report about America's
long term fiscal situation. It's not pretty. Current laws remain

(43:35):
generally unchanged current laws. That means that twenty seventeen tax
cuts would expire at the end of the year and
discretionary spending would shrink as a share of gross domestic product.
Under that scenario, the annual budget deficit in twenty thirty
five would remain roughly where it is now, about six
percent of GDP, and we would add add add add

(43:55):
more than twenty trillion dollars to publicly held government debt
between twenty twenty five and twenty thirty five. That would
raise debt as a sheriff gross domestic product from one
hundred percent to one hundred and eighteen percent, which would
be a record. Bill that came before the Budget Committee
on Friday, which was voted down, makes matters even worse.

(44:18):
In a report issue before the meeting, and non Partisan
Committee for Responsible Federal Budget estimated the bill would have
increased the national debt by three point three trillion, more
than the CBO's baseline projection for the next decade, projected
debt to GDP ratio rise from a baseline one hundred
and eighteen percent, which is a figure I just mentioned before.
If everything remains completely unchanged and the tax cuts expire, right,

(44:41):
it would go up to one hundred and twenty five percent.
They say, worse still, if all the gimmickry temporary measures
in the bill were subsequently made permanent, the national debt
would rise to five point two trillion above the baseline projection,
and the debt to GDP ratio would serve to a
hundred than twenty nine percent. There's your downward spiral, folks.

(45:06):
That's why Moody's downgraded US on Friday, citing the government's
persistent faire to adopt measures that would reverse the trend
of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs. Yeah,
the stuff that crazy Thomas Massey is always fighting for

(45:28):
Wall Street general rights. This is more than a green
eyes shade accounting exercise that the CBO report makes clear.
If we don't change course, borrowing costs would likely rise,
slowing private investment and imposing economic costs. Interest payments to
foreign debt holders will expand, decreasing domestic income. Pressure on
federal budget will intensifize. Debt service costs surge, and confidence

(45:49):
of the dollar will fall as the risk of a
fiscal crisis rises and the likelihood that we're not going
to be able to pay the interest on the debt.
Journal further goes on. Let's be clear about what changing
course means. As the US population continues to age, the
cost of Social Security and Medicare is A share GDP
will mount inexorably. Together, these two programs will account for

(46:13):
more than one hundred percent of the increase in federal
spending is A share GDP over the next decade. It's
doubtful that the American people will accept significant cuts in
these programs, which will become the cornerstone of his secure
and dignified retirement. They write, these demographic and political realities
point to the same conclusion that increased revenue will be

(46:35):
needed to secure these programs for the long term. Americans
may be reluctant to see their taxes go up, but
they'll be even less willing to see their Social Security
and Medicare benefits go down. Maybe they say something's got
to be done about this, and something clearly does, which
is why I support Congressman Thomas Massey. You know, he

(46:55):
may be a lightning rod, and he may be the
you know, the this, this mister no guy that he's
painted to be, but he provides a wonderful springboard to
have a conversation that we all must have. Congress Massey
waving his hand, going look look at the blank and deficit,
Look at what we are doing to ourselves, look at
the existential threat, look at the global the view of

(47:18):
our dollar and people's waning interest in it or or
belief in it. If we pull the plug on that,
I'd say the ripple effect would be profound. The whole
world would suffer, wouldn't just be the United States of America.
So yeah, Primary Congress from Massy call him names Donald Trump.

(47:38):
But in the final analysis, at least he's someone who's
willing to say out loud something that we all should
be talking about, most notably the people we elected to Congress.
Quit worrying about midterm elections. Quit worrying about your funny
malowney jobs. Someone's got to save us from ourselves. And
if it's a sacrifice you have to make, make it.
And I honestly do not believe that the Democrats would

(48:00):
prevail in the midterm elections if you did the right thing.
As a percentage of the population, the folks on Medicaid
that would be cut if you engaged in aggressive cuts
don't amount to that many voters. Yes, there'll be a
Democrat talking point, but that will provide a valuable opportunity
for the Republicans on the other side who voted for
some pairing back to make the point that was just

(48:23):
that I just made. If you don't stop this runaway
spending and keep giving us into this bigger and bigger hole,

Justice Department has agreed to pay the family of Ashley Babbitt.

(51:10):
You remember the Air Force veteran who got shot dead
during the Capitol riot, even though she didn't represent a
threat to literally anyone five million dollar payment, and they've
agreed in principle to settle it. The Babbitt's estate fiuled
a thirty million dollar lawsuit last year. She attempted to
climb through a broken window of the barricaded door leading

(51:31):
to the Speaker's lobby inside the Capitol. Didn't represent a
threat to anybody, was not armed, was squeezing through a
tight space, could have been stopped without deadly force. Attorneys
were built the Justice Department of Babbits. The state said
during a court hearing this past Friday that they had
reached this agreement in principle to resolved the case. Video
clips posted online. Yes, you can see them for yourself

(51:54):
and recognize there was no eminent apprehension agreevous bodily harm
that she posed to anybody. It's got her stars and
stripes backpack on Trump flag around her neck, which is
probably why she got shot, stepping up and trying to
go through the waist high opening of an area of
the Capitol that'd be the Speaker's lobby entrance. Then you

(52:16):
hear the gunshot, and that's where she could be seen
falling backwards. Certain a bunch of people rushed to attempt
to lift her back up. She could be seen slumping
back to the ground. Died at Washington Hospital Center. Capitol
Police officers shot her. And here's something that you can
take some stock in. Right, we're talking about all the
lies that have been perpetuated, all the shenanigans by the

(52:39):
various lettered agencies seeking out and going after conservative minded
individuals based on politics only, not because probable cause or
because they're alleged crimes warded as much attention it was
focused on them. This is the Biden administration era we're
talking about here. The police officer who used deadly force

(53:00):
on this woman, who represented and posed no risk to
that police officer was cleared of wrongdoing by the US
Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, which concluded that
he acted in self defense and in defensive members of Congress, which,
as I've been had explained to me by various people,
there was nobody in that room. Basically the members of

(53:22):
Congress had been moved out. Capitol Police themselves also cleared
the officer, shocking no one. United States States Capitol Police
Chief Thomas Mangers sent a message to his department's office
earlier this month after he learned of this proposed settlement,

(53:42):
saying as follows. In twenty twenty one, the DOJ said,
there was no evidence to show that law enforcement broke
the law. This is what. Don't believe your own eyes.
Watch the video and don't believe your own eyes. Show
me where it is that she posed a threat to someone.
She was squeezing through a window for God's sake. Anyway,

(54:05):
the statement went on, after a thorough investigation, it was
determined to be a justified shooting. Yeah, put yourself in
that position. If you shot someone and killed someone under
those circumstances, you're going to be prosecuted. Capitol Police chief,
you said, this settlement sends a chilling message to law

(54:28):
enforcement officers across our nation, especially those who have protective
mission like ours. What the US government paying money to
that family sends a chilling message. When that officer has
already been cleared by the folks who otherwise would have
been prosecuted him, he's got nothing to worry about. Unbelievable.

(54:55):
Like I said, you know, if you're gonna use deadly force,
you better have a reasonable belief that your life is
in jeopardy. That's the requisite prerequisite. For use of deadly force.
And you're gonna tell me with a straight face, well
after watching that video that she presented that level of harm,

(55:17):
that level of fear in you, that you were justified
in killing Ashley Babbitt six twenty five fifty five. Care
see the talk station. I think five million dollars a
small consolation to the family who I'm sure continues to grieve.
Foreign exchange. Get your car fixed for less money. It's

know I saved a heaplow of money over the dealership.
German cars apparently are expensive to maintain, but maintain them
I do, and I love my car and it requires
forty thousand mile maintenance. Like the l cars have some
level of maintenance that's required at each at certain intervals,

(55:59):
and that that's what I was there for. And oil changes.
For years. I've been getting my oil changes. My car
is under warranty at foreign Exchange because I always save
more than two hundred dollars every time it's done. That's
the point of foreign exchange. You get a full warranty

USS Cincinnati Project. Yeah, when I was on active duty,
I believe it was two thousand and two, Joe Japp
at the USS Cincinnati project's infancy, I had the pleasure

(59:07):
of hosting his delegation and showing him around the Submarine
National Museum and the USS nautilust to try and give
them some ideas. So now that after thirty years from
the USS Cincinnatis decommissioning, it's wonderful to see this project
come to fruition and give it to do and everybody
in the tri State can see exactly what was out
there keeping the sea lanes open for democracy.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Yeah, it's an amazing thing. So they had the Conning tower, correct,
the one piece of the submarine is actually going to
be the Conning Tower on display.

Speaker 12 (59:37):
That's going to be the.

Speaker 10 (59:37):
Main center piece. They actually have what we call the
fairwater planes that control the depth that are attached to
the Conning tower. We have the actual rudder, So the
way it's designed, you will actually be able to see
the enormity of the three hundred and six feet that
the submarine took up, as well as another museum and
a lot of stem projects too for high school general

(01:00:00):
public to learn about submarines and engineering.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Well, I think it's a great thing. And yes, Joe
Japp will be on an eight forty five to talk
about the USI Sincenai Memorial. What years would you do
you recall top of your head what years that submarine
was in service? You said, I got decommissioned thirty years ago.

Speaker 10 (01:00:18):
Yes, sir, it was coming right off on getting refueled
and then with the draw down. She was one of
the ones. She was one of the first six Los
Angeles class. She was six ninety three six eighty eight,
so it was decommissioned. I believe in the in the
late nineties. She served for about twelve years, so about
half of its actual life, because most submarines are out
there for thirty years plus. But with the draw down

(01:00:41):
and the Cold War receipts, they decided to go ahead
and decommission her.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Fair enough and nuclear power, right, Mike, Oh, wonderful.

Speaker 10 (01:00:49):
Yes, yes she was not refuelled, even though she only
did twelve But yes, our submarines now that are being
built thirty five years without being refueled. But if I
can get back to on her flight real quick. Yes,
the honor flight is so special in Washington, d C.
But I always enjoy it. I'm not on the flight today, unfortunately,
the may flights because here we are less than a
week away from Memorial Day, and especially those eighty Vietnam

(01:01:12):
vets and the eight Korean War events, because the Korean
War Memorial has been updated listing every killed in action
in the Korean and of course we all know what
the Vietnam War Wall looks like. So this is a
way for these eighty Vietnam veterans if they don't know
somebody on the wall, which I find hard to believe
having been on so many flights for them to pay

(01:01:32):
tribute there. But then we all know for these eighty
eight veterans when they come home tonight, and I highly
urge anybody, especially with school almost being out, you know,
bring your kids over tonight, show them what these people
did to keep our country free.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Amen to that, give them the welcome home they deserved.
It did not get when they returned from Vietnam conflict,
being spit on, not being able to where their uniforms
considered a public It was just a disgrace, a terrible
chapter in American's history. And we can right this ship
tonight at nine pm at CVEG at least for those
eighty eight veterans that are on the flight. Yes, Sir Mike,
I can't thank you enough for your involvement with Honor

(01:02:08):
Flight tri State and you're continued to supporting the American
veteran and of course for your service to our country.
My friend, I'll look forward to I hear from you
all the time, but it doesn't mean we can't thank
you as always for your service. And I'll look forward
to seeing you in June fourth for the next listener lunch.
At least I hope i'll see. It's going to be
at Mad Tree Brewery in Summit Park and Blue Ash
June fourth.

Speaker 5 (01:02:28):
So streak, this streak.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
It is, I can't believe it's too in a row.
Trust me, and no one more than me thinks that
I will not win the next game. But I always
go into it feeling that way because you're because of
your awesome cribbage skills which you developed underwater four months
at a time. Mike. I'll look forward to seeing you soon, brother,

see a few allergy outbreaks there too. It's a moving ceremony,
that welcome home ceremony.

Speaker 13 (01:06:43):
Yeah, we're gonna try and make it tonight. I hope
you can then start to date, but nine be there

I hope you make it, Mike, really do it. If
you do show up, call me up back tomorrow and
tell me what your impressions were. Never hurt anybody being
unimpressed or saying it wasn't worth my while to show

(01:07:09):
up at CVG for the welcome home ceremony anyway on Monday.
Good news to the folks hoping to welp get some
sort of reality dealing with these immigrants that have flooded
our United States thanks to the Biden agenda to do
so intentionally, which we all know now. On Monday, it
was almost unanimous the justices sided with Donald Trump on

(01:07:33):
removing temporary protected status given to migrants from Venezuela. Ruling
allows Trump now to resume plans to deport about three
hundred thousand people who've been given protections by Joe Biden.
Courts order didn't explain any reason for the decision. Only
one Justice, Koateenji Brown Jackson, dissented, but also offered no

(01:07:56):
explanation or reason for her dissent. Iiden issued pro orders
from migrants under the process for Cubans, Haitians, Niggaraguans, and
Venezuelan and that was back in January twenty three, and
he issued extensions ahead of Trump taking office. But the
current administration faced the court challenges to try to shut
down the protections altogether. Now. The attorney representative Venezuelan migrants,

(01:08:18):
a guy whose name I am going to struggle with
alien our Lanantham close Enough, said the Supreme Court order
was the in his words, single largest action in modern
American history. Stripping any group of non citizens of immigration
status uh okay alien. But Joe Biden's order was the

(01:08:40):
single largest action by a president who give them some
form of immigration status in the first place. He did
it unilaterally, in spite of what the laws on the
books are. This ur Laninatham added that Supreme Court authorized
in a two paragraph order with no reasoning is truly shocking.
The humanitarian and economic impact of the Court decision will

(01:09:00):
be felt immediately and will reverberate for generations. Well, I
think that may be a bit of an overstatement. They're
only qualified under this order since January of twenty three.
Do you take steps in reliance on an executive order
when you're going to end up having a hearing where
it might be determined that you do not have the

(01:09:21):
right under any perception to be here in the country
in the first place, which means you entered into this
whole thing eyes wide open, knowing it wasn't a guarantee
that once you got here, you're going to stay here. Now.
US District Judge Edward Chen of the Northern District of
California ruled in March of this year that the government
had not proven any real harm in allowing the migrants

(01:09:42):
to stay in the United States while their legal challenges progressed.
What no real harm? Ask the sanctuary cities and the
other cities that have been dealing with this influx of
illegal immigrants, if they have struggled financially to deal with
the concert quences of all these people showing up in
their backyard, say that qualifies as harm, jen a Barack

(01:10:06):
Obama pointee. So the ruling otherwise would cost billions in
economic activity as well as disrupt the lives of hundreds
of thousands of migrants, with no care or concern over
the disruption of the millions of United States citizens who've
got to pay the tab for the unchecked, unregulated wave
of humanity that came in as a consequence that Donna
are of Joe Biden's order, and we've flipped our society

(01:10:28):
over where you know, it's the inmates controlling the asylum.
No one cares. What about the American taxpayer, or our
rights as citizens in the United States, or the immigrants
who've come before these illegal immigrants who went through the
legal process, taking them a decade to otherwise qualify for
citizenship doing it the right way anyhow, At least you

I got Jim on the line. Jim, thanks for calling.
Welcome to the program.

Speaker 8 (01:12:01):
Good morning, Brian. Yeah. I just think it's a little
bit of poetic justice that Biden has cancer. After all,
if he'd kept these campaign promise and cured cancer, he
wouldn't have it, would he.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
Oh jeez. Yeah, Okay, you can go down that right
if you want. Although I was reminded by one of
my friends in the listening audience with a Facebook message, Eric,
thank you, it wasn't that long ago, And I think
it was Ken Blackwell who posted the meme. Wasn't that
long ago that Democrats were joyous and gleeful over the
fact that rush Limbaugh had been diagnosed. So yeah, I

(01:12:36):
don't know if it's politically correct to wish cancer on anybody.
I certainly wouldn't. But the big story on that one
is this release yesterday. Biden's office said he was last
screened for prostate cancer in twenty fourteen, obviously more than
a decade ago, which I just couldn't believe it, and

(01:13:00):
all the experts were saying, listen, if he's got if
his cancer's metastasized, which it has, then there's there's probably
there's no way that that happened over the last one
hundred two hundred days, and then he probably had cancer
for the whole four years of his term as President
of the United States of America. Don't you think it
would have been prudent to do a PSA test? And

(01:13:20):
I know that they're not one hundred percent reliable, so
sometimes you get a false positive, but you know what,
it could be a real positive which would require you
to take action and engage in treatment. If you don't
bother to find out, the cancer stays there, it grows,
and it metastasizes and ends up in your bones. I'm
just baffled by this. And I read someplace that the

(01:13:41):
White House had claimed that it was because of the
cost they didn't get a PSA test. Now part of
me wants to think that I read that wrong. I
couldn't find the where I read that, but I read
it in two separate locations. I was yesterday when I was,
you know, doing doing work for the program. Are you
out of your blank would you utter those words? It

(01:14:02):
costs too much anyhow, Some suggest that maybe after the
age of seventy you shouldn't get a PASA test. I
don't buy that. For the what I mentioned before. Okay,
you get a false positive, you're going to engage in
some sort of additional exploratory work to find out if
that positive was in fact a correct or it was false.
But at least you look into it, and your leader

(01:14:24):
of the free world. You get the best possible medical
care out there. At least that's what we've always been
led to believe. Not a word, not a single word
real quick here, and I guess they're getting ahead of
the Republican Big beautiful Bill, which I think is supposed
to have a provision in there that for not taxing tips.

(01:14:46):
The US Senate just passed the new bill with tax
deduction for tips worth up to twenty five thousand dollars.
If enacted in law, would also extend a business tax
credits for payroll taxes on tips in beauty and spa
services stipulations in the Senate bill, and employee would with
compensation exceeding one hundred and sixty thousand dollars in the

(01:15:07):
prior tax here would not be eligible to claim the
new tax deduction for tips. The bills limited to cash
tips received by occupations customarily tipped, including like barbering, hair care,
now care, aestatics, body and spa treatments, waiters, waitresses. But
I kind of chuckled when I read that. If I'm

(01:15:31):
in one of those professions and someone gives me a
cash tip, because of course you put it on your
credit card, it's got to go through processing, and of
course it has to be reported. But wouldn't you just
put it in your pocket? Do you really go home
and keep track of all the tips that you got
and then be honest with the irs every year and
report them as income, knowing full well that they're going
to be taxed. I gotta imagine that's not commonly done

(01:15:54):
in this world. Apparently, in the current law, only tips
succeed twenty dollars a month are required to be reported,
and according to the I described as center right Peter G.
Peterson Foundation, no idea who that is. According to Fox
News reporting, though this new bill, if passed one in
the Senate would cost the federal Reserve revenues one hundred

(01:16:16):
and ten billion dollars over ten years, and again I
kind of questioned the basis upon which that's being calculated,
recognizing that at least it's my expectation that the vast
majority of cash chip workers aren't reporting in his income

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
It's the time we get the Big Picture with our
dear friend Jack Athan and Jack Adan. Welcome back to
the fifty five KRSEE Morning Show. It is an honor
and pleasure to have you back on the show. Same here.

Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
Thanks for having me back, Pal, especially during college graduation season,
which we can all celebrate because if Democrats get back
in power, we'll be paying for everybody's student loans. Won't
that be fun?

Speaker 8 (01:17:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
I don't know how that's a winning mesue for them, because,
I mean, a lot fewer people have student loans and
college educations than the vast majority of the American taxpayers
who didn't go down that road or otherwise paid their
loan off. So you end up pissing off a whole
lot of people because there'll be asked to pay for
loans that they didn't incur.

Speaker 6 (01:18:04):
Well, watching the kids who are graduating and getting their
sheepskins got me thinking, where in the world did we
get the idea that Ivory Tower graduates and their professors
ought to be ruling the world.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
Well, here's how it happened.

Speaker 6 (01:18:20):
One of the earliest depictions of an intellectual, I mean
somebody who thinks about abstract ideas, not about how to
farmland or make anything. One of the earliest depictions of
an intellectual was an ancient Greek play called appropriately the Clouds.
It's anti hero was a guy I love, but whom

(01:18:40):
I would never choose to run a country, the philosopher Socrates.
Greek philosophers were already famous for reducing everything to a
single substance. One philosopher said everything was water. Another Heraclitis
that everything is fire, which, since he apparently meant everything

(01:19:01):
is ever changing energy, was pretty much spot on. Socrates
was more interested in ethics, how we should live our lives.
Fellow Athenians still made fun of him, and they wound
up killing him. They did not share our reverence for
Ivory Towers. Athenians charged Socrates with corrupting the young because

(01:19:23):
he didn't have too much reverence for parents or religion,
like a lot of modern intellectuals. How many people in
Paris attacked intellectuals too during the Middle Ages. At the
new University of Paris, some teachers urged students to use
reason to question scripture. Most famous of these professors, Peter Abelard,

(01:19:45):
wound up getting castrated for seducing a girl who was
one of his most brilliant students. College professors, by the way,
priet are still doing this. Oh yeah, one of them
seduced a girl I was dating back in college, so
maybe I'm biased. Thus, you and I were lucky enough
to why to adjust the right girls.

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
Well, sadly it's crept into K through twelve education too, there, Jack,
So we've got that problem on our hands here in
society and that's something.

Speaker 6 (01:20:09):
Yeah, Abialard. Peter Abilard retired to a monastery, and hello,
is that brilliant girl became a nun. Because back then
universities were not founded to produce political leaders. The goal
of Oxford in England was primarily to educate clergy. Same
thing with Harvard when it was founded in eighteen rather

(01:20:31):
sixteen thirty six. It was only later that young gentlemen
were sent to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton to become what
were sarcastically called gentlemen see students. The kids who learned
something practical often went to the land grand colleges established
after the Civil War, which specialized in subjects like agriculture

(01:20:54):
and engineering. And many of our great statesmen did not
go to universities at all, starting with George Washington, who
was a surveyor, and the most brilliant American Benjamin Franklin.
And that included Abraham Lincoln, who learned law not in
law school like you and I, but in a law office,
and he learned a lot more than we did.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
William F.

Speaker 6 (01:21:17):
Buckley Junior famously said that he would sooner be governed
by the first two thousand people. In the Boston Phone
book than by two thousand Harvard professors. Yet, folks, that's
how we're being governed today, not out of the phone book.
One person, you can think, is the only PhD college
president whoever became an American president, Woodrow Wilson. Professor Wilson

(01:21:42):
despised our constitution because it put brakes on the so
called best and brightest leaders like himself. He thought, much
as Catherine Marr, the current head of National Public Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
We've talked about her.

Speaker 6 (01:21:55):
She said, quote a reference for truth keeps us from
getting things done. I always repeat that quote, Brian, because
it reveals everything we need to know about these leftists,
which arell Wilson was followed by Democrats Franklin Roosevelt, Jack Kennedy, kinglg.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Lator.

Speaker 6 (01:22:13):
They both appointed the so called best and brightest university
graduates to run government, and the results were New Deal socialism,
then Great Society programs that have kept poor people in
poverty for sixty years, needless wars, and what Democrats call
conservative oligarchies when the real oligarchs are flying private jets

(01:22:36):
with Bernie Sanders. Donald Trump likes to boast that he's
an ivy leaguer, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's
Wharton School of Business. But Trump really learned about business
from his father's real estate business. Trump learned what it
takes to build a building, not a theoretical construct, what

(01:22:56):
a concept. Think of another rough around the edges got Rodney,
Dangerfield and Back to School. I love that movie, especially
where he's making a monkey out of his very polished
pie in the sky business professors. Yeah, President Trump is
now encouraging students to skip crushing college debt and indoctrination

(01:23:20):
all together unless they go to study something practical and
instead look at trade schools so they can work at
and someday run all the manufacturing and other businesses now
relocating to America. It's in the trades, farming, the military,
law enforcement, medicine, business, other practical fields where we ought

(01:23:43):
to be looking for our leaders, our political leaders, the
same kind of practical people who took a break from
their businesses two hundred and fifty years ago and founded
our country. Because if instead you look up in the clouds,
your leaders may do to you what birds are prone
to do. Sorry about that schatological joke. I hald have

(01:24:06):
send that poop joke to Greg Guttfeld. Anyway, what do
you say, my friend, how can I not agree with you?

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
I mean, it's, you know, in the other component of
college education, and you know, you do get these sort
of egghead philosopher type folks that think they know better
they haven't participated in the actual work world or like again,
I think your dangerfield point is an excellent one. You know,
what about the mob shakedowns, and what about the overhead

(01:24:32):
and you know, lost product and you know, disappearing merchandise
and inventory. You've not accounted for any of those real
world things you encounter. They haven't. They've been in education
their entire life. They get multiple degrees stacked on each other,
and what do they end up doing well? Either going
back into education or become baristas at a Starbuck. Not
to criticize baristas, but I mean, you know, ethnic studies,

(01:24:54):
religious studies, studies in a fine art. They're just so
many degrees out there that you can go into a
deep hole, get indoctrinated, and come out the other side
with no career opportunities that your degree will help support
you find a job in. I mean, I wish that
there was some ethical obligation that universities owed to the

(01:25:16):
people who are signing up for this debt to point
out that, no, if you pursue a degree in philosophy,
you're going to be contemplating your navel. When you graduate.
You'll have something to hang on the wall, but no
one's going to be out there to hire you.

Speaker 6 (01:25:29):
The practical people don't get no respect. But you know, actually,
in Texas, I think it was during Rick Perry's a
time as governor, they instituted a program that evaluated college
graduates in retrospects and looked at which majors were actually
yielding income to their graduates. Yeah, and Texas gauged the

(01:25:51):
amount of state money, tax payer money that it paid
based on whether or not you were ever going to
be able to do something remunerative that would allow you
to be I'm a taxpayer.

Speaker 1 (01:26:02):
At least that's a good exercise. I don't know. I
just wish colleges had an obligation to do that. It's
like they're selling people a bill of goods. Yes, you
can spend four years of your life and go into
debt to pursue a hobby. And that's really what a
lot of degrees are. It's a hobby. You can learn
this kind of thing on the side.

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
We talked Brian, that whole trend started with the best
will in the world after World War Two, people who
had suffered all the way through the depression, who sacrificed
their lives often and by the way, you're going to
do another great job at the stadium for Memorial Day.
You're always terrific. But they came back and one of

(01:26:43):
the things the country thought that it could do for
the survivors was to allow everybody, all the gis to
go to college. So we had, of course the GI bill,
and many people did, and many of them studied something practical,
and there's nothing wrong with the humanities. You and I
both studied humanities too. Got to wind up being able
to make a living. The GI bill, unfortunately, with the

(01:27:05):
colleges in full so became more of a social status thing.
Everybody felt they had to go to college. And that's
never been the case.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
Well, that certainly was the case, you know through my
educational years. I mean, I started college and it's the
fall of nineteen eighty three, and it was expected everybody
around me was going to be going to college. It's
kind of what was well, you were just planning for college.
You're preparing for college, and I ended up getting a
worthless degree myself, Jack evident, although I got it with

(01:27:35):
my eyes wide open, knowing that I was going to
at least apply to law school. So but political science.
It was a hobby of mine, and to this day
I reflect back, what the hell would I have done
had I not gone to law school with a political
science degree. I honestly have no idea, Jack none.

Speaker 6 (01:27:52):
Well, I wouldn't change a thing because we have you.

Speaker 1 (01:27:55):
Oh you're so kind. You are so kind, and I
certainly did learn a lot. It's a litigation attorney for
sixteen years. But I enjoy this more because I get

next to bottom of the are we're gonna hear from
Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity about the Save our
Salary campaign in support of a two point seventy five
percent flat tax here in Ohio. But even if Forbes

(01:32:19):
wrote about this, you can do a general search for
worthless degrees. You know, Forbes does a pretty decent job
general liberal arts with no clear direction philosophy history English,
unless paired with a strong second major, you're not going
to have a job. Most liberal arts programs, they point out,
don't cover the tools modern workplaces run on, like XL SQL,

(01:32:42):
project management platforms, basic marketing, analytics software, real world things
that you need to know. Visual and performing arts degrees,
they point unless you're at Juilliard, are already breaking through
on your own degrees in acting, dance, fine art often
and in debt and disappointment. The industry rewards talent, not diplomas.

(01:33:03):
And of course, with these modern day communications and ability
to post your material online immediately, you don't need agree
for that communications, they say. Once a solid fallback, now
it's lost its edge. Unless integrated with the specialization like
digital marketing, media production, or public relations, you don't get
the technical execution and measurable outcomes. Employers expect and hire

(01:33:25):
based on gender studies, ethnic studies and similar fields. Yes,
they may be important conversations, but marketable degrees, Uh, Nope,
they point out. Those majors lack of clearly defined job
market outside of academia. Right, unless you want to stay
in academi and become a college professor and teach degrees
in gender studies, ethnic studies, and similar fields. To churn

(01:33:48):
out more people who do not have job opportunities. Where
are you going to go? So they rarely provide any
practical training for policy, community organization, or nonprofit leadership roles.
Even general psychology or sociology fascinating, but a bachelor's alone
won't get you far, they write.

Speaker 8 (01:34:09):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
Rather you should turn to a computer science and it nursing.
My wife was a nurse when we met. You always
have a job with nursing. I'm glad to see that's
on here, because it's true. Our end's average eighty two
thousand dollars annually higher pay for specialties in advanced practice roles,
you'll always have an opportunity for employment. So even if
you move on like my wife did, I thankfully she

(01:34:33):
did because I got to meet her in law school
and she did practice and it's still practicing a law
of this very day. You have a fallback degree if
things don't work it out real well in another field,
and you'll save your children's lives. Engineering is still a
great opportunity. Mechanical, civil, electrical, aerospace, stable and essential careers

(01:34:54):
out there and average salaries at least ninety five thousand
dollars a year top earners w into the six figures,
and there's a lot of internships available out there, skilled
trades and technical certifications. There's an unlimited number of opportunities
in the trades out there, which is why I've been
railing on this medicaid. Make folks who are eligible or

(01:35:15):
rather able bodied, in their prime working years and have
no families, make them at least try to get a
job or participate. I mean, if you apply that twenty
hour minimum requirement a week toward a trade job learning experience,
you may end up getting paid while you learn. Many
opportunities out there along those lines, but you'll end up
with a career. You'll be able to unhook your umbilical

(01:35:37):
cord from the federal government. I just don't understand why
anybody wouldn't want to do that. Specialized business degrees apparently
a good idea CPA CFA still sought after, although I
imagine with artificial intelligence that'll start waning. STEM and special
education also recommended by Forbes. Anyway, there are good degrees

(01:35:58):
out there, and there are worthless ones. Let's steer our
children in the right direction and have a hard conversation
with your young wide eyed, optimistic budding guitar Virtuoso seven

Affordable Medical Imaging, save just tons of money by getting

(01:36:21):
your imaging done at Affordable Imaging Services. It's a MEMRI,
a CT scan, ultrasound echo cardiogram, and they can get
you right in now. Talked to my physician just the
other day about getting a scan. I needed an MRI.
I got it yesterday at Affordable Imaging Services. You know
how long it took me to get in one day.
Called on a Monday and ended up there at noon yesterday.

(01:36:41):
They take great care of you. It's low overhead, but
you know what that MRI machine, same kind of thing
the hospital uses, the same as the things. Thing goes
with the CT scans. I've gotten several affordable imaging services
for my cancer. I got one schedule for June. Listen,
it's inexpensive, dramatically so compared to the hospital imaging department.
That CT scan will set you back four hundred and
fifty bucks without a contrary six hundred if you get
a contrast. My MRI started at four ninety five, but

(01:37:04):
I had to pay extra hundred and fifty because I
needed a contrast for that one. So it would have
cost me thirty five hundred dollars or more to a
hospital and I would have had to wait around that's
my doctor said. He goes, Oh my god, they're really
backed up there. Well, I don't want to wait considering
the reason I went in for that MRI. So check

Donald and Neil, welcome back, my friend. Good to hear
from you today, Brian, great to be with you again.
And another great idea to save our Salary Campaign AFPs.

(01:38:04):
Launch this to support a two point seventy five percent
flat tax. That sounds like a step in the right direction. Donovan,
what's this going to mean if it's past Well, yeah,
so you know we've mentioned this on the show before.

Speaker 16 (01:38:15):
Right, Ohio continues to be ranked in the middle of
the pack in a number of policy areas economic competitiveness.
Tax rates are one of those areas where we're thoroughly mediocre.
And we have the opportunity here right to put through
the state budget process. This is what we're doing right now,
to call in the state Senate to get this done,
to move Ohio from a top marginal rate of three

(01:38:36):
point five percent to a flat tax of two point
seventy five percent. It would be the lowest in the region,
It would put us in a competitive foothold, and most importantly,
Brian for the promises these politicians have been making for decades.
Now would get us best position to begin that march
to a zero percent income tax so we can be
like Texas, Tennessee and Florida and reap the benefits of good,

(01:38:57):
sound fiscal conservative policies in this state.

Speaker 1 (01:39:00):
All right, Well, you know there's arguments against this, and
Republicans dominate Columbus across the board, yet they typically don't
do the right thing, at least in terms of traditional
Republican Party platform things, which would mean something like this.
So where's the pushback coming from and what are the
reasons that are articulated for the pushback, Like we can't
afford to cut this to two seventy five. I'm sure

(01:39:23):
somebody's making that argument, Donovan.

Speaker 16 (01:39:25):
Well, that's the nice thing about our opponents on this
issue is their talking points, their tactics haven't changed. The
tactic is, yeah, it's hey, we can't afford this. We've
got all these services we have to provide. It would
be catastrophic to the state. To those folks what I
point out, especially on the state income tax. You know,
your your roads and bridges are already paid for, Brian

(01:39:47):
through your gas tax.

Speaker 1 (01:39:48):
Right, you're lost. Well, I'd like to see the numbers
on that, Donovan O'Neill. How much did they actually take
in in taxes from the gasoline tax which was raised
by the wine if I recall correctly, versus how much
is actually spent out there on the roads of what
they claim the total of projects are cost. Because I

(01:40:09):
know a lot of complaints out in the world about
the situation on our roads out there, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (01:40:15):
But what I do know is they keep working on
this same stretch of highway by my house over and
over and over again every year. So I don't know
where if they just can't get it read the first time,
or what it might be. But that's a fair question,
the effectiveness of it, And I think that's an important
reason why you also want.

Speaker 1 (01:40:29):
A flat tax.

Speaker 16 (01:40:30):
Right, the collection on a flat tax versus a progressive tax,
the compliance not just for the state but for the
taxpayer goes down significantly. Right, if it's one flat rate
two point seventy five percent. You know, if you made
I'm bad at math. I'm notoriously bad at math, Brian, Right,
but you made, you know, one hundred bucks in a
year two dollars and seventy five cents is going to

(01:40:51):
go to Columbus. You don't need a CPA to tell
you that. You just have to do some very simple
fourth grade maybe now seventh grade aid math give our
education quit in this country. But well, it's the very
simple math to figure that out. And so the compliance
costs for individuals, employees, businesses drops, The state gets generally
sees a higher share. We see this on the federal

(01:41:13):
level with the Trump tax cuts. When they simplified the
federal tax code, more money came in. Not because people
were happy to pay more taxes, it was easier to
comply and so that the government the people got a
better share of the money that was needed to be
owed to the government. It's kind of walked crazy, but
it make it works. So that's the idea behind this

(01:41:34):
is simplify the tax code, make Ohio competitive, and really
put us on a path to excellence.

Speaker 1 (01:41:39):
All right, I trust Ohio has a version of the
CBO if they calculated the numbers and the impact on
two point seventy five percent versus I. Honestly, Donovan, I
don't even remember what our current tax rate is in Ohio.

Speaker 16 (01:41:51):
Well, we're down to two brackets two point seventy five, well,
zero percent up to the first twenty six thousand dollars
you earn. After that, you have a two point seventy
five percent rate up to around ninety seven ninety eight
thousand dollars on the income for an individual or a
married filing jointly, and then above that ninety seven or so.

Speaker 1 (01:42:11):
Thousand dollars is a three point five percent rate.

Speaker 16 (01:42:15):
And so this is something right too, that our opponents
will make arguments about in saying, well, this is only
going to benefit the wealthiest of the wealthy, right, the rich,
the rich folks, the twelve billionaires maybe we have living
in Ohio, right, But the reality is, you can very easily,
in a simple family of four, right, a father who's
maybe a police officer and a mother who's a teacher,

(01:42:35):
with a few years of experience, easily get to that
top marginal rate right over ninety seven thousand dollars right,
filing jointly. And so this getting to a flat toc
the two point seven percent truly helps all Ohiolands, especially
those working class middle O Highlands, middle class of Highlands
who are just trying to keep their head above water.

Speaker 1 (01:42:54):
Ye, coming out of four years of bidonomics. Well, and
if it does cost some belf Titan and Columbus, then
that's good. That's all is a good thing. Donov and

go away First, a word for USA installation. Talk about
a guaranteed return on investment. It is a guaranteed return.
Remember at USA's films only ninety nine dollars a month
interest free. You could probably save that much or maybe
even more in your energy bill. When you're using your
HVAC system, you will save money. It'll also make your
home more comfortable every day of the week, all year long,
because while the phone's in there insulating the walls. My

this year. I was just visiting their home over last
weekend and unbelievably comfortable, and I said, you know what
do you give your air conditioning on? He looked at me,
said Nope, don't need it. That's the foam at work
right there. So save huge amounts of money every month.

(01:44:20):
It'll cover the ninety nine bucks a month, or at
least you stand a good opportunity to do that, and
eventually you pay it off, continuing the return on investment
after it's over with savings guaranteed, twelve hundred dollars energy

you back on my friend.

Speaker 12 (01:45:59):
Good morning, Brian.

Speaker 5 (01:46:00):
How are you today?

Speaker 1 (01:46:00):
I'm doing okay. I am no big fan of the
big beautiful bill, though, because everybody's done the number crunching,
including the Congressional Budget Office if you trust them at
their word, but lots of different organizations. We're digging ourselves
further and further and further. This continues. Biden level record
spending and the deficit numbers and the percentage GDP that

(01:46:21):
we're looking at and the very near term are really
I think they present an existential crisis for our country.
Congressman david'son your.

Speaker 12 (01:46:28):
Thoughts, Yeah, very similar. I mean, the Congress we control
is the one we're in right now. We don't even
know who the members of the next Congress will be,
let alone several in the way out in the future.
And that's where this big, beautiful bill cuts. It doesn't
cut now, it doesn't cut this Congress. It promises some
future Congress is going to do the cuts. And we
all know that isn't going to happen. If they follow

(01:46:51):
our example, they will increase spending and promise that a
future Congress will cut spending. And so the play goes
on and on and on, and that's how we're thirty
six strain in debt. This bill passes and becomes law,
and they stay the course, which is optimistic. If they
stayed the course, we'd still wind up with an additional
twenty trillion in debt over the next ten years. So

(01:47:12):
I mean that's you know, why would we vote for that.
That is not the mandate of this election, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:18):
And yet there's Donald Trump saying you all better get
your get in line and embrace this so called big,
beautiful bill. And also, according to attendees of the meeting
the other day, don't f around with medicaid. I mean,
if you don't f around with medicaid, using the president's words,
it's going to collapse. Also, it's like everything else, somebody's
got to tear the band aid off and say, listen,

(01:47:40):
we cannot continue at this spending level. Or your favorite program,
whoever you're talking to, is not going to be funded anymore.
So Security is going to take a cut, Medicaid recipient's
going to take a cut, Medicare is going to be
taking a cut. I mean, that's just the practical reality.

Speaker 12 (01:47:56):
Yeah, I mean, he's to be clear on his medical comments.
He's like, yeah, you can go after fraud, waste, and abuse,
but don't take the bait and let them characterize it
as anything, but you know, fraud, waste and abuse. And
he's like, you know, you guys are talking.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
They don't know what that is.

Speaker 12 (01:48:12):
Talk about fraud, waste and abuse. You know we have
illegal illegals on Medicaid. Well, that's clearly an abuse of medicaid.
You have people that are able bodied, working age adults.
We didn't design medicaid for that. That's an abuse of
the system. Talk about fraud, waste and abuse. You know,
they don't take the bait that you're cutting medican No, no,
we're going after fraud, waste and abuse. And I think

(01:48:33):
everyone's that way. I mean, who would you help out
and say, yeah, man, I'll help you out. I know
you had a hard time. I'm glad to help you.
But by twenty twenty nine, you got to get a job.
I mean, no one's going to do that for even
your own family members. You'll be like, hey, you're going
to start looking.

Speaker 1 (01:48:48):
For a job, right exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:48:49):
I mean, And that was bipartisan when Bill Clinton was there.
We can't even get all the Republicans to stay on
board with that.

Speaker 1 (01:48:55):
And that's what's so frustrating for me in Congressman Davidson
that they are Republicans, like the Republicans in unbelievably high
tax dates New Jersey, New York, California, who are screaming
about increasing that salt deduction to sixty seventy maybe one
hundred plus thousand dollars for a family. It seems to
me that there may have been a resolution with that
taking from ten to forty thousand dollars, but that that

(01:49:15):
in yours to the benefit of the so called rich.
It works as a great talking point for the Democrat.
You know, tax cuts for the rich. Isn't that what
that is?

Speaker 12 (01:49:23):
Well, that's one hundred percent what it is. I mean,
they headed up at one point two means tested up
to seven hundred and fifty one thousand dollars a year,
so you get like your average Ohioan subsidized in New
Yorkers that are making up to seven hundred and fifty
one thousand. I think they got negotiated down to five
hundred thousand a year. So those poor people, you know,
making five hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year will

(01:49:46):
have their you know, deduction for state and local taxes
in New York curbed down a bit. I mean, this
is what we're arguing over within our own party.

Speaker 1 (01:49:55):
Yeah, and then there's Donald Trump attacking somebody who's consistently
at least the one and not to discount you and
the value of what you have to say on the record,
but pointing a finger Thomas Mass. He's saying he should
be voted out of office because he's a holdout, because
there isn't sufficient cuts built into this thing. I mean,
he's at least getting press for pointing out what you

(01:50:16):
and I are talking about right now. And that's Scott
underneath Donald Trump's skin apparently.

Speaker 12 (01:50:22):
Yeah, I mean, look, he's frustrated because he knows that
there's not really a negotiating position with Thomas. Thomas is,
in a way like the lighthouse that's shown us where
we should go. And you know that the reality is
people don't negotiate with lighthouses. They avoid him because that's
where the rocks are. So Thomas is serving an incredibly
valuable purpose. He is pointing the right direction. But the

(01:50:44):
real is, if we don't pass anything, well, then the
status quo is preserved as well. So you know, generally,
I'm like, well, if we can pass something that is
significantly better than what we have now, then I'll vote
for it. And this bill sounds better than what we
have now. There's that are great. I want border security,
I want some of the tax reforms. I think some
of them make a lot of sense. But on balance,

(01:51:07):
this bill in the Congress we're in is not a
good bill. It spends more money than we have. All
the promises of good stuff are way out in the future,
so they're hollow. So you know, if it goes to
the floor today and the form that it went through
rules committee, there's no way I can vote for it.

Speaker 1 (01:51:22):
Well, you anticipated my next question as we run into
the break, and Congressman Warren Davidson, I appreciate where you
are on that. Maybe if there's enough people like you
that stand up, we will get some you know, movement,
movement back and quick reforms and pairing back and hopefully
more more cuts. I'm not holding my breath at this juncture, though.
Let's pause. We'll bring Congressman David's back. We'll talk about

(01:51:43):
Trump derangement, syndrome, and the Golden Dome at seven forty

QC Kinetics and everybody's focused on health and everybody wants
to do do something right and as far as you know,
taking steroids and getting surgery to deal with your hip pain,
your shoulder pain, your knee pain in back. Yeah, you
don't have to go down that road. You have options,
and that option is with QC Kinetics. You may be

(01:52:05):
a good candidate for these regenerative treatments to cellular level treatments.
They concentrate these properties of your own body and place
them exactly where they've belong, right in that joint where
the pain is coming from, healing power which helps restore
your damage tissue. These protocols include potent and powerful cellular
level treatments and QC Kinetics has helped tens of thousands

That's over a five minute delay out of Erlinger into town.
Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:53:44):
Seven forty nine if you've got KIRCD talk station Bright
townins the Congressman Warren Davidson. Every time I re read
about Trump arrangement syndrome, and think about the bill you
proposed to have the NIH study it. It gives me
a chuckle. Congressman Davidson, half of me thought that, well,
maybe he's just you know, putting this out there to
kind of make a point. But do you really are
you serious about this and do you think it's going

(01:54:05):
to go anywhere? Conresman Davidson, Well, look, I do think
it makes the point.

Speaker 12 (01:54:09):
And right as I was introducing it, James Cooney was
out there posting, you know, things he randomly found on
the beach, like eighty six forty.

Speaker 1 (01:54:15):
Seven, you know.

Speaker 12 (01:54:16):
So you know, you look at Comy might be a
candidate for patient zero for Trump Arrangement syndrome. You know,
he was in on the whole Russia collusion hoax and
all these other you know, anti Trump hoaxes that are
out there, and you look at how many people have
just been wrecked. I mean they're walking around bitter and angry.
For a lot of these people, Trump doesn't even know
they exist, but they're wrecking family relationships, long term friendships

(01:54:40):
over this, and it really is something that is affecting people,
and it's it's irrational.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
Yeah, And that's that's a way of summing it up.
It is irrational, and you know, the only social media
presence I have is Facebook, and I reserve my Facebook
comments to really important stuff like saying Happy Friday, posting
a picture of my daughter's chickens on the farm, or
something ocuous like that, because I don't I don't want
to dive into that mess. But there's so many posts
up there that are just just absolutely unhinged when it

(01:55:08):
comes to things things people say and conclude and believe
about Donald Trump. You know, you can easily label a
Trump to arrangement syndrome, call it what it is, or
call it what you will, but it's it's like he,
I don't know, He's just infected their mind. I kind
of joke about it. Donald Trump is living rent free
in so many people's mind, and they don't appreciate that

(01:55:28):
he's's got them all worked up and he's ruining their
lives because well they let him.

Speaker 12 (01:55:34):
Yeah, but there is more to it than what Donald
Trump's doing. There's a definite media and information warfare accounting
into this and and and that's really you know it
is it Is it something that spreads, uh, you know
through the normal biologic conditions. Well no, but it does
affect your brain, psyche and you look at like how
some of the media narratives are reinforced so consistently.

Speaker 1 (01:55:57):
It's very calculated.

Speaker 12 (01:55:58):
I mean, you know, actually, when I was at West Point,
we were talking about information warfare, and that would be
the era. You know, we were thinking about the battlefield. Frankly,
but obviously a lot of other thinkers were saying, no,
this is way beyond what's going to take place in
the battlefield, and they're using essentially warfare tactics, and effectively
politics is sort of like we're only not shooting at

(01:56:20):
each other, right, So information warfare is really well tailored
for the kind of you know, battle that we're doing
here in terms of really a struggle for power in
the country. And so it doesn't matter whether it's true.
We're living in an era where facts really don't seem
to matter. I think I'm suffering fundamental disorder where when
I lay out facts, I think people are going to

(01:56:41):
be persuaded by them.

Speaker 1 (01:56:43):
Well, people have not trained to be are not trained
any more to be critical thinkers. I mean, that's part
of the problem with our education system these days. And
you know the other component of this is nefarious elements
that's going along with this left wing narrative that shows
up in the news that perpetuates this. But also this
is something that are outside of the United States. Our

(01:57:05):
enemies out there, like the Chinese Communist Party continued to
fund and stir the pot. I saw this article the
other day about the cash flowing into anti Ice group
nngos coming from Chinese link government sources. They love to
stir the pot of division in our country, and this
Trump derangement syndrome is one of the multiple levels that
they stir the pot.

Speaker 12 (01:57:27):
Yeah, that's right. I mean, some discord in our country
destabilizes our country. On balance, that's good for rivals like China.
And you know, look at the media, as I call
them the controlled media. They're sharing whatever information they want.
They're acting like so many people around the country believed
that Biden was you know, sharp as attack and totally

(01:57:47):
mentally fit up until the debate and it was like,
oh wow, what happened, And a lot of people saw
through that from the get go. But honestly, I've found
people here on Capitol Hill. One of my staffers was
talking about one of his friends who's a Democrat staffer,
who was really like, man, I can't believe it. I
thought he just kind of had a speech impediment. I
can't believe Jake Tapper's book, and it's like they really

(01:58:11):
are just finding out. So you know, there are people
that whatever the narratives are, and you know, on the
right it happens too. You know, you follow Q or
Info Wars or all this stuff, and they believe everything
that's thrown out and you're not really taking a holistic
view at the information out there. You know, honestly, the
conspiracy theorist betting average getting pretty high.

Speaker 1 (01:58:31):
It really, it really is. And you know, I've been
pointing out Biden's cognitive decline since, I mean for years
and years. That comes to no shock to me that
everybody's finally on board with reality. Connors and Davison before
we part company about a minute, can you just comment
on the Golden Dome. And I'm just kind of shocked
that we don't have something like this already. Well, you

(01:58:52):
go back to.

Speaker 12 (01:58:52):
Reagan and he the idea of Star Wars was out there,
and you know, no one told some of these engineers that,
you know, Star Trek was just sci fi. They're out
there inventing the future. I mean, they're really making all
these kinds of things happen, and what we can do
today with air defense is amazing. And you know, covering
an area as big as the United States a much
bigger challenge than Israel, but you know we're working on

(01:59:14):
the technology. And Donald Trump's named at the Golden Bell.

Speaker 1 (01:59:17):
Fair enough. Congressman Davidson, thanks as always for your service
to our country during military as well as continued service
in your elected capacity. You're always welcome here on the
fifty five Karasy Morning Show. Congressman Warren Davidson. It's been
a real pleasure having you on again always.

Speaker 12 (01:59:31):
Brian, God bless you and your listeners.

Speaker 1 (01:59:33):
Thank you, sir, seven to fifty five fifty five Krcity
Talk Station, and God bless the American Veteran. We're going
to be saluting the American veteran at the Ford Regional,
or rather Ford Oval of Honor at the Great American
Ballpark this weekend. Joining the program after the top of
the our news, Greg Gominski, he is the Ford Regional
sales manager, to give us the details on that. Followed by,
of course, Judge entered Apolitano at eight thirty, and they're
also going to hear about the USS Cincinnati Memorial taking shape.

(01:59:56):
Joe jab probably served his country as a submariner. He'll
be on at eight forty on that topic. I hope
you can stick around. Another update coming up.

Speaker 3 (02:00:04):
The day's top story's at the top of the hour.

Speaker 13 (02:00:06):
Important issues that are facing this country.

Speaker 3 (02:00:09):
On fifty five krs, the talk station This Anywhere, anytime.

Speaker 1 (02:00:15):
Take your info to go. I'm listening through powered.

Speaker 3 (02:00:18):
By fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 6 (02:00:24):
Eight oh six.

Speaker 1 (02:00:25):
Bit about air CD talk station. Happy Wednesday. You know
it's good to be Brian Thomas sometimes, and one of
those times is going to be this Sunday, May twenty
fifth of Great American Ballpark be Ase. I have had
the distinct honor and privilege to be affiliated with the
Ford to Erl of Honor event at the Salute of
the American Veterans at the Great American Ballpark which has
taking place this Sunday, and joining me in the fifty

(02:00:47):
five KRCY Morning Show the Ford Regional sales manager and
he's been involved in this for a lot of years.
Greg Raminski. Greg, thanks for coming to the studio today
to talk about this. Oh, thanks for having me, Brian.
This is an exciting time for us and you'll be
the first person affiliated with Ford to for me to
thank personally for including me. Again, I just speak a
few words, you know, just I thank the veterans for
what they do and just offer my comments and just

(02:01:09):
send people on their way. Man, it's just a it's
a cool event though, yeah, it really is.

Speaker 17 (02:01:14):
It's a great opportunity, and you always do a great
job with some very heartfelt words. I mean, I'd be
a lot of words, but their heartfelt words. I know
that means a lot to the veterans that were there
to recognize well.

Speaker 1 (02:01:22):
And there's some terrific veterans, not that all veterans aren't terrific,
but you someone goes out in the world. I think
Jerry Dinuzio has part of it, former sales agent here
at he's since retired, but he's remained involved. But how
do the veterans that are specifically honored get selected.

Speaker 17 (02:01:39):
It's it's a tough choice, as you can imagine. As
you said, there's so many worthy folks out there. But
our team works with a bunch of veteran organizations and
they find those that are local, that really have a story,
that are that are deserving, and again they all are,
so it's so hard to choose, but they narrow it
down and local locally.

Speaker 1 (02:01:57):
About ten or so veterans each time.

Speaker 17 (02:01:59):
We do this, recognized at the Reds event, which is
it's a great opportunity for everyone involved.

Speaker 1 (02:02:04):
And salute to Ford for this event generally and choosing
to honor the American veteran. How many years has this
been going on?

Speaker 17 (02:02:11):
This started back in twenty eleven on the tenth anniversary
of nine to eleven, and it's grown. It's here locally
at Great American Ballpark with the Reds, but we've also
done it many other places.

Speaker 1 (02:02:22):
Over fifty five ceremonies.

Speaker 17 (02:02:24):
At this point, over five hundred veterans have been recognized
through this program.

Speaker 1 (02:02:27):
Oh my word, five hundred.

Speaker 17 (02:02:30):
Yeah, because you know at the event there's usually ten, yes,
it's usually ten to fifteen or so per and you
can imagine doing the math how many that's been.

Speaker 1 (02:02:37):
And we could.

Speaker 17 (02:02:37):
We'd love to do more, but obviously it's tough to
get this all put together. It takes a lot of work,
but it's a labor of love for many people, including you,
and again thanks for all your contribution.

Speaker 1 (02:02:46):
That's the least I can do. I didn't serve my country.
So I've kind of taken on veterans and the American
military is sort of a personal cause to try to
make up for what I didn't do, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 17 (02:02:58):
No, I get that, and I hear that every every
year in your comments, and I'm in the same boat.
But it's the least we can do, as you'd say.
And it's such a great opportunity to recognize those folks
and give them some love, which they all deserve.

Speaker 1 (02:03:11):
Amen. And this is the honor fly Tries date day
of this. Folks are on their way to DC if
they haven't gotten already, So let me just interject an
opportunity to mind folks. Nine pm at CVG tonight the
welcome home ceremony. It's just something that you should not
miss if you've never been. It's really quite moving. And
of course, the vast majority of the eighty eight veterans
are Vietnam veterans who did not get a welcome home

(02:03:33):
when they came back from their service to our country.
So who's going to be honored this this Sunday.

Speaker 17 (02:03:39):
We've got ten local veterans. I'll go ahead and read
the list. Both Bill Luken, Frank Bailey, Fred Moore, Mike Donnelly,
Walter B. Stitt, Ed Greeves, Ed Radcliffe.

Speaker 1 (02:03:51):
John B. Murray, William J. Ston and William T. Miller
And what branch of the service and are these senior folks,
because it's usually quite a mixed band. It is usually
a variety, and that that is one of the goals.

Speaker 17 (02:04:04):
We have veterans from all branches of the military, all
ranges of experience, some that had just gotten out, some
that have gone through World War Two at times we've had.
So it's it's a great variety and a good opportunity
again to not only recognize the veterans themselves, but they're
families who are in attendance, so you can tell really
appreciate the event and the and the love and.

Speaker 1 (02:04:25):
The spotlight on their folks. So it makes it great well,
and my listeners can show up at the game, I
trust there's still tickets available. Now, they won't be sitting
up in the private space with the veterans, but they
do throughout the game have little different things that go
on that include the honored American veterans.

Speaker 17 (02:04:41):
Correct, we find ways and the Reds do a great job.
The Cincinnati Reds for working the folks in. We'll usually
have one bring the lineup card out to the to
the umpires before the game, and there's opportunities we shine
on them on the jumbo tron to show where they're
sitting and let them wave to the crowd and give
the I'll give them give the crowd an opportunity to

(02:05:02):
thank them and appreciate them as well.

Speaker 4 (02:05:04):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:05:04):
It sounds to me like a lot of family members
for the veterans are going to be there this year.
Because I mentioned Jerry de Newsia every year that I
do this, he offers me a handful of tickets and
he said, Brian, we got a lot of people coming
this year, so you're you're stuck with two normally to
bring the kids or you know, my daughter or fiance
or and we had plans to do that.

Speaker 17 (02:05:22):
Are like, that's okay, that's good news, which is great. Yeah,
it's it's fun when it's a packed house, and it
usually is. It would be great if the rumor a
little bit bigger, as this event has grown, but it's
fun just to pack the pack the space the Hall
of Fame theater and do that event in there with
the veterans and with their families.

Speaker 1 (02:05:37):
Well, and understand that you got something special going on
it for an opportunity if you let my listeners know
that this handshake deal for America. Since you're here, let's
talk about that.

Speaker 17 (02:05:45):
Yeah, it's it's the from America for America campaign America
campaign which we launched a few months ago. It was
supposed to be for a very short period of time.
It allows consumers to get the a planned discount, which
is what employees get. It's truly the same discount that
I get a Ford employee is now passed along to
anyone who comes in and wants to buy a vehicle
across the lineup on most everything. And it's been extended

(02:06:08):
through the fourth of July, so now it goes through
the seventh of July.

Speaker 1 (02:06:12):
And I understand you that EV buyers actually get even
a better deal. Yeah, they get a free home charger,
which is a program weh wow really yeah. Late last
year we launched that and it's worked really really well.
It's it's great, it's super simple.

Speaker 17 (02:06:24):
I know a lot of people that have done it,
and it's it's clock like clockwork, turnkey simple. Oh no
kidding to come out and install the charger in your
garage once you buy the vehicle.

Speaker 1 (02:06:33):
Well, and that you've already been by by doing that
overcome a challenge. I guess a lot of folks that
might be considered it ev Well, if I get one
of those, I'm gonna have to pay to have a
charger correct.

Speaker 17 (02:06:42):
And go through the difficulties of buying one, choosing one,
lining up an electrician.

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
And we do all that for you. How about that?
And so what of the tariffs? Is Ford impacted by
the tariffs in any way, shape or form.

Speaker 17 (02:06:54):
That's it's an ongoing issue. As you can imagine, things
seem to change pretty often. So, yeah, there's been We've
taken a little bit of pricing on a few of
our vehicles. We do make eighty percent of our vehicles
here in the United States, which is great, that's more
than any other manufacturer, but those that we bring in
from other countries have had some tariffs. We have had
a little bit of pricing adjustments going forward on that,

(02:07:15):
but overall the impact hasn't been too bad and fingers crossed.

Speaker 1 (02:07:19):
It won't be. Yeah, I'll keep my fingers crossed for
you too. Huge fan of the Ford Mustang am I
I had on back in two thousand and one, after
nine to eleven, remember all everything went to zero percent
financial because the whole world kind of came to a
screeching halt. And was at that point I said, you
know what, I know that because I looked online there
were two SVT Cobras in the area and I was like,

(02:07:42):
you know what I've always wanted a muscle car. Was
the four point six Leader had I think factory rated
flywheel horsepower three twenty seven, which back then was sizable,
you know, compared to modern figures. The current et Mustang
what is it? Got four to fifty at the flywheel amazing,
and then you go up to like the g T
five hundred or whatever the higher ends it. They're just sick, fast,

(02:08:05):
sick horse power and torque they are. I love the
own one, but uh A big fan of the Mustang.
We can help you out with that. I'm sure I
know some people who know some people, Brian, I bet
you do. As the what the regional sales manager, you
probably find one of those form. Yeah, Mustangs are great,
no matter what year.

Speaker 17 (02:08:20):
Obviously in the sixties up through today is it's amazing
car shows.

Speaker 1 (02:08:23):
It's so fun to go to and see the variety
of Mustangs and the passion behind it, and it's one
of the few that you can still get with a
manual shift. Yes, yeah, there aren't many choices out there
with a male train and going the way of the Dodo.
That's your uh, your millennical what did they call it?
The millennial theft deterrent feature, because nobody out there really
knows how to drive a stick shift anymore. My boys do.
That's one thing they learned early on. Oh yeah, we

(02:08:43):
taught our kids too, yeah, both of them. So yeah,
it's uh love the manual shift. Anyhow, back to this, uh, Sunday,
May twenty fifth. Just what time do things get started?
Because I forgot the start time of the game. The
game I believe is around one.

Speaker 8 (02:08:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:08:59):
Yeah, usually, since we get there early, I don't pay
attention to exactly when the game starts, right, We roll
through everything, do the presentation. Then by the time we
get out, it's about time for the first pitch to happen.
So it should be great. It should be a great afternoon.

Speaker 1 (02:09:10):
Oh well it always is.

Speaker 8 (02:09:12):
So.

Speaker 1 (02:09:12):
Greg Raminski's a guest in studio, Ford Regional sales Manager
and a salute to Ford for the Ford Oval of
Honor event again been going on for years, tenth anniversary.
I can't believe how time is flown. And thanks again
for allowing me to help out just a little bit
with this event. A salute to the American veteran God
bless you and everybody at Ford for doing this. It's
been pleasure having you in, Greg, Thank you, thank you

(02:09:32):
so much. Appreciate all your time, and thanks for having
me in. Anytime, brother, anytime. It's eight fifteen right now.
If you have KCD talk station cover Sincy, you can
get better medical insurance for less money. Yeah, better medical
insurance for less money, insurance that actually covers you know,
upfront money like no out of pocket responsibility. It's because
they work for you, cover since your brokers, and they
work with hundreds of insurance companies with access to thousands

(02:09:56):
of policies. But because they're on your side of the table,
they can go out into the world and find the
best possible combination of different policies, so they have one
policy that'll cover things up front, and you got catastrophic
coverage and all this put them all together. Thirty to
sixty percent savings for couples under sixty five along with Yes,
better coverage. It sounds impossible to believe I know it
because I've I just questioned it every time I talk

(02:10:18):
about it. But I've talked to so many listeners who's
listened to me and take me and taken me up
on my recommendation to just reach out to them. You
don't have any obligation. They'll look at you, where you
are in your life and whether you've got family or not,
that kind of thing, and put a package together. And
trust me, you're gonna be amazed at what they can do.
And heck, probably one of the better things can say.
They well, you're as best play, You're doing the best

(02:10:38):
as you possibly can do. If they look at what
you've got, they'll be honest with You're not going to
try to say something you don't need, So take advantage
of it. It's free and they will not sell your
information to anybody. And again you get to keep them
after the insurance is put in place. Got a claims issue,
you don't call the insurance company, spent a couple hours
on the phone, call cover sincey and they'll take care
of it for you. It's an amazing opperation tinnity to

(02:11:00):
get some help on that as well. Cover sincy dot
com online. Fill the format, get the process started. They'll
get right back with you. Or call them at five
one three eight hundred. Call that's five one three eight
hundred to two, two five to five.

the lateral into Kenwood.

Speaker 1 (02:12:04):
He spent two.

Speaker 11 (02:12:05):
Seventy five a few break lines between Cole Ring and
Hamilton Avenue Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 1 (02:12:13):
Eight nineteen fifty fot KERCD talk Station Happy Wednesdays, coming
up to go down to Polatano. Topic of his column,
government attacks on private property. Says the constitution has failed
us on some levels. But also he did tell me
in an email exchange he wanted to talk about Congressman
Massie and Donald Trump attacking Congressman Massey for again going

(02:12:35):
back to my conversation just in the in the last
hour with Congressman Warren Davidson. Somebody is least speaking the
truth and saying out low what nobody wants to seem
to deal with, which is our over spending in government.
It's just insane. And this big beautiful bill keeps on
pretty much the same trajectory. You know, if they did
nothing the Tump Trump tax cuts expired, they did absolutely nothing.

(02:12:58):
We would gain twenty truillion dollars in additional debt to
what we've already incurred, and the debt service that goes
along with it, just eating into a larger and larger
share of gross domatic domestic product. I mean, we're already
basically one hundred percent of gross domestic product. It could
jump to like one hundred and twenty eight hundred and
twenty eight percent. I think I read in the direction

(02:13:20):
we're going, where are the cuts. We're digging ourselves into
a hole that we will never be able to climb
out of, and it will collapse our economy, and obviously
I think it'll you know, and conspiracy theories out there,
And thank you, Maureen, and I agree with your comment
Congressman Warren Davidson's, she called the best quote of the day.
The conspiracy theorist batting average is getting pretty high. And

(02:13:44):
for someone who firmly believes me that there's a large
swath of the left saying left hand side of the
political ledger that wants to kill our country. Capitalism bad,
Marxism good. And the quickest way to do that is
to stop and prevent us from saving us from ourselves,
and not cut the size and the scope of government
so much so that the Fiat currency collapses on itself.

(02:14:06):
Thinks Zimbabwe, think Venezuela, I think the Weimar Republic. Anybody
else who tried to print themselves into prosperity ends up
dealing with a massive catastrophe. I guess fortunately those particular
countries that have been down that road didn't have that
much of a global impact. But when your currency you're
talking about is the default currency for the whole world,

(02:14:28):
then you're talking about a global catastrophe. Who is going
to continue to buy our tea bills when we keep
going further and further down the road to basically bankruptcy.
Who's going to continue to buy them? When the ability
of us to pay the interest on money that's been
loan to us becomes well less and less or less

(02:14:50):
and less of a possibility and more and more of
a likelihood of default. That's a real challenge. So salutes
the Congress from Massy in spite of the fact that
Donald Trump select that hand selected him to throw barbes
at saying that Representative Thomas Messi should be voted out
of office. Well, he didn't single out Warren Davidson, who
said he's not going to vote for the bill in

(02:15:11):
its current state. So there's at least two they can
They can't afford to lose that many. Then you got
these so called centrist Republicans fighting for Yes, they're unbelievably
high tax states. That salt deduction they've already, I guess,
reached an agreement to take it from ten thousand up
to forty thousand dollars. And who gets the benefit of that. Yeah,

(02:15:35):
this is a great talking point for the Democrats. The rich.
You'll get the benefit of that, tax cuts for the rich.
But a handful of New Jersey, New York, and California
Republicans can put stop this thing in its tracks unless
they get their way and have that salt increased. It's
supposed to be forty thousand dollars now they were looking
for sixty for individual and maybe one hundred and twenty

(02:15:55):
five thousand dollars for family. Really, you live in a
high tax states, you're the one that caused the problem.
Why should you and I in the state of Ohire
any other state out in the Union subsidize their states
and their ridiculous tax burdens. That's the point of Captain
saw to ten grand is to teach those states a lesson,
and maybe you need to vote for different people who
will lower your tax burden and obligation. Obviously, that didn't

(02:16:20):
happen anyway. And the other issue is here in terms
of yes, conspiracy theory is battling. The batting average is
getting pretty high at marine. Thank you for doubling down
on that. The Biden office said he was last screening
for prostate cancer in twenty fourteen. After all the stories
came out. He's got metastasized prostate cancer. That does not

(02:16:41):
happen overnight. You got all kinds of oncologists and physicians
coming on saying, no, you should have had a PSA
fairly regularly, at least annually. It would have revealed this
and that that metastasized cancer does not happen over the
last one hundred to two hundred days. It is very likely,
say many of these learned physicians, that he had this

(02:17:03):
throughout the entire time he was in office. So say
what you will you believe the physician reports came out
of the Biden office. I'm now john this side and
jaded and cynical about that as well. So question mark
why they wouldn't give them a PSA tist if in
fact what they're telling us now is true, and we
have little reason to believe what they're telling us is true,

(02:17:26):
Like he's the sharpest man in the room. Judge Jedena
Pultown are coming up next eight twenty five fifty five
KCD talk station. First, a shout out and a salute
and a strong recommendation to doctors Fred Peck and doctor
Meghan Frew. I haven't seeing doctor Fred Peck for general
dentistry for years and years and years. He's got the
best staff and the best office in terms of state

(02:17:47):
of the art. Everything's there for your benefit, your comfort,
and superior dentistry is what's on the store for you
there with doctors Peck and Frew, and especially with cosmetic dentistry,
the dynamic duo of cosmetic dentistry. They are doctor Meghan
Fhrew's rush perspective on cosmetic dentistry, working on her accreditation
with the American Academy at Cosmetic Dentistry. In doctor Fred
Peck's years of experience, years that qualified him as a

(02:18:09):
Fellow with the American Academy at Cosmetic Dentistry, one of
only three dentists in the whole state of Ohio that's
reached that lofty status. Why because he has transformed here's
your Channel nine first one. He weather forecasts probably not
see a shower today, but there are some possibility of them.
That's kind of what channel I'm saying. Anyway. Cloud's in
the highest sixty eight today, overnight a little forty eight

(02:18:30):
with cloudy skyes, clouds again tomorrow with a few sprinkles
out there. Sixty degrees for the high. Partly cloudy overnight
forty five, but a beautiful day on Friday was sunny.
Sky's in a highest sixty nine, sixty four degrees. Right now,
let's hear from here about traffic from Chuck Ingram, Well

(02:18:53):
maybe not a system misfire, which means we're not gonna
hear from Chuck ingerm for traffic and not here, or
his comments about Judge Enna Pultana, who joins a program
every Wednesday at this time to talk constitution. Usually talk constitution,
but we'll talk about Congressman Thomas Massi today as well
congress Judge Ennena Poulatan And welcome back, my friend. Sorry
about whether or whether or not, or traffic or not.

Speaker 9 (02:19:14):
I'm gonna have a bad day because I didn't get
my jose of him this morning.

Speaker 1 (02:19:20):
I know every once in a while we do have
a system glitch. So we'll blame me our employer, right,
Joe Strecker anyhow, Judge Enna Paulatana.

Speaker 9 (02:19:28):
Any way, good morning, and how are you, Brian.

Speaker 1 (02:19:31):
I'm doing well, you know, in my own personal life.
And my heart is broken with this big, beautiful bill.
As everybody who's bothered to look at the numbers can
point out, including Today's Wall Street Journal, We're on a
downward spile in terms of digging ourselves into a deficit
hole that we can never get out of. Gross domestic
product a debt ratio is north of is heading north

(02:19:53):
of one hundred percent, and it could be under the
current trajectory with this bill that GDP debt, the GDP
ratio would rise from one hundred and eighteen to one
hundred and twenty five percent. This is unsustainable. And one
guy you can always count on to point this out
and draw a line in the sands saying hell no,
is Congressman Thomas Massey. And what does that get? That

(02:20:14):
gets the ire of Donald Trump, who said he should
be voted out of office.

Speaker 9 (02:20:19):
Because he's a grand stander. I guess it takes one
to know one. Thomas Massy is the I'm sorry I
couldn't resist. I know Thomas Massy is the opposite of
a grand stander. He with charm and humor, articulates a
brilliantly articulates a defense of first principles. You don't spend
more money than you take in, otherwise your debts are

(02:20:41):
going to crush you. You don't fight a war unless
national security is threatened. The president doesn't seize power from
the Congress. Your follow the constitution. These are pretty basic
things that rub Washington the wrong way. They rub nearly
all bookings the wrong way. The Democrats just want to

(02:21:02):
oppose anything Trump wants, and they rob the big government
Republican presidents, of which Donald Trump is a paradigmatic example,
the wrong way. I was very, very hurt to hear
him attack Congressman Massy on a personal level. Knowing Congressman
Massy the way you and I do. He slept like

(02:21:23):
a baby last night. It didn't bother him at all.

Speaker 1 (02:21:26):
That is right, And in so far as you know
him being primaried out. They've tried that before in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. Judgent of Politano. It didn't work. He's
got a solid base of supporters. I think probably folks
in the Commonwealth like you and me who really truly
believe in our founding documents and really truly believe in his. Well,

(02:21:49):
it's almost like a religious faith, you know, I know,
and people who know talkers mask you know exactly where
he's going to come down on any issue ahead of time,
before he utters a syllable, because he's solid like a
rocket Gibraltar with his foundational principles, right right.

Speaker 9 (02:22:05):
I mean, the Republicans are just going to drive themselves
into the minority status which they loathe when these chickens
come home to roost. This budget the Trump proposes, and
not nearly all Republicans are in favor of.

Speaker 1 (02:22:22):
It, might not pass this.

Speaker 8 (02:22:23):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:22:24):
There's some that to say, you got to change the
salt cap, and there are others to say if or
will vote against it, and the others will say, if
you do change the salt cap, we'll vote against it.

Speaker 1 (02:22:35):
Thomas Massey of.

Speaker 9 (02:22:36):
Course will vote against that. They can only afford two
more votes against it. But if it passes in anything
near its current form, it adds a trillion dollars to
the debt of the federal government. Right now, the federal
government is spending a trillion a year in interest payments.

(02:22:57):
How much longer is that sustainable? Not much longer. The
federal government's debt has been downgraded. What does that mean
to the average listener. It means that government has to
pay more interest in order to borrow money, meaning it's
got to shell out more cash every quarter, cash that
doesn't have So it's borrowing money to pay interest on

(02:23:21):
borrowed money. Nobody and nothing can exist much longer doing that.

Speaker 1 (02:23:27):
Well, I'm thoroughly convinced. And I mentioned it earlier on
the show, and I've mentioned it before. You know, call
me conspiracy theorist. Honestly, you run. I think that's exactly
what a lot of people on the left wan. They
want a collapse, They want our country to fail. It's
an evil capitalist well quasi capitalists. You can't really call
it capitalists anymore, or more socialists, but it's just an
evil empire. It's born of original sin. It doesn't it

(02:23:48):
isn't worthy of going. And you got a lot of
Marxists on the left hand side of the Ledger that
want to get their revolution in any way, shape or
formn crashing the fiat currency as a way to get there.

Speaker 9 (02:23:58):
Well, what will happen if people buying the government's bonds,
stated differently, lending money to the federal government. What will happen?
The government will collapse of own of its own weight. Yeah,
there are thirty seven trillion dollars in debt. A chunk

(02:24:20):
of it is owned by Japan, a chunk of it
is owned by China, most of it is owned by
American investors. What happened if that debt is just canceled
because the Feds can't pay it back?

Speaker 1 (02:24:31):
Calamity global calamity.

Speaker 8 (02:24:33):
Right.

Speaker 9 (02:24:34):
Thomas Massey warns about this. He not only understands the Constitution,
he understands economics one oh one. I'm sure there are
many Republicans who do understand economics one oh one, but
they don't manifest that understanding when they support legislation like this.
And Mike Johnson, what is he?

Speaker 1 (02:24:54):
Just a clerk?

Speaker 9 (02:24:55):
Whatever Donald Trump wants, he does. The guy is number
three line for the presidency. He's just a good little
goody two shoes that does whatever the big guy in
the White House tells him to do.

Speaker 7 (02:25:08):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:25:08):
I think he called in Trump because he was not
successful in hurting the cats that are the Republican Party
in DC. Right now and get him to come up
to some agreement on this. And I had Congressman Warren
Davidson on the program in the last hour, your honor,
and he said he's not going to vote for it
for all the reasons that you and I are talking
about right now. If it exists in its current format
it comes up for a vote.

Speaker 9 (02:25:28):
Wow, Well they need one more opposition and then a collapses.
But by the way, the Senate has already said, you
send this over here. We're not sending it back. It's
going to be changed radically by the time we get
finished with it. So Trump boasts that his tax cuts
will remain permanent, but he refuses to examine the other

(02:25:53):
side of the ledger, which is the money the government
has to pay for an interest.

Speaker 3 (02:25:57):
For all the borrowing.

Speaker 1 (02:25:58):
Yeah, does the government ever tire debt? No, it just
rolls it over.

Speaker 9 (02:26:02):
We are still paying debts incurred by Woodrow Wilson to
fund World War One.

Speaker 1 (02:26:10):
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 9 (02:26:11):
Not one hundred years ago?

Speaker 1 (02:26:12):
And I remember Ronald Reagan warning about this back when
our deficit was our debt was billions of dollars. You know,
we can't sustain it at this level. And not a
finger lifted since then forward, or even in prior administration,
as you point out, going back to Woodrow Wilson. Anyhow,
existential threat, I think is a fair way of summarizing
that reality, which is why you know, I may personally
be fine, but I'm weeping for the status of our

(02:26:35):
country right now and pivoting over Oh, and.

Speaker 9 (02:26:39):
The Defense Department, Let's give them another one hundred and
fifty billion, because a trillion dollar budget, Pete hegg Seth
really sands meat, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (02:26:51):
No, When they can't pass an audit eight times in
a row, I'm thinking there's got to be a lot
of fraud, waste, and abuse in that trillion dollars or
eight or nine hundred billion whatever it was last year
that they could ferret out and pair back. I mean,
I love the American military, and I salute our American
veterans and appreciate them for signing on the dotted line
and serving our country. But you know, there's so much

(02:27:13):
fraud in that, so much waste in that, so many
pet projects in that that are going back to representatives
and senators' home states that are totally unnecessary, that we're
shouldering the burden.

Speaker 9 (02:27:22):
For the Biden. Doj indicted a four star admiral for
a corruption for by using federal dollars to buy all
kinds of things from the military industrial complex that we
didn't need in return for a job after he retires.
He was just convicted the other day. I wonder if

(02:27:44):
that's the tip of the iceberg.

Speaker 1 (02:27:45):
Well, I'm sure it is the tip of the iceberg.
We can all presume or assume that if you choose.
But unless they go after him and start searching for it,
like doing a Doge type of inquiry into the good
defense spending, it's never going to see the light of day.
That's my concern.

Speaker 9 (02:28:01):
I think you're right, Brian, absolutely right. And if you
talk to it, Thomas Massey, tell him his biggest fan
loves him and sticking my neck out given where I
worked during the day to defend.

Speaker 1 (02:28:13):
Him well, and I defended him all morning, your honor,
So I knew you were going to talk about it,
because you let me know in advance. But I was just,
you know, maybe not stealing your thunder, but offering my
two cents with it for all the reasons you and
I just talked about. I mean, I think I think the.

Speaker 9 (02:28:27):
Public sees what's going on, and I think the if
this thing passes, these Republicans will pay a price, and
the price will be there'll be a minority party after
November of twenty six, just eighteen seventeen months from now.

Speaker 1 (02:28:43):
Honestly, I'm reading my t Lee's and we all we
know what opinions are, like the like sphincters, we all
have one. But I don't know necessarily that's the case
because the left has gone or the Democrats have gone
so far over to the I would argue Marxist side
of the equation, the AOC that is the other side
of this.

Speaker 9 (02:29:00):
Is that who do the Democrats have?

Speaker 1 (02:29:03):
Well we'll see. Yeah, well we'll keep our respective boxes
of popcorn out. Judge Enna Politano, I'll strongly encourage my
listeners to read your column which comes out of midnight
Government attacks on private property. Another stellar column from Judge
Nita Politano and a little bit disheartening though, considering that
the Constitution is a demonstrable failure. You end on that note,

(02:29:26):
and we support all the reasons why in the columns.
Looking maybe for a little more optimism from you, your honor,
but yeah, I get.

Speaker 9 (02:29:34):
Trying to be happy Brian, and you know what, it's
a three day weekend coming up. That's in the behaving.

Speaker 1 (02:29:39):
Oh, thank you, we did it. Not about a happy nue.
Look forward to next Wednesday, another conversation, your honor. Have
a wonderful week Back at you, Brian, Thanks my friend.
It's a forty here. If you've got cares to the
talk station, we're gonna hear about the USS Cincinnati memorial
which is coming out to the Voice of America Park
taking shape.

Speaker 8 (02:29:56):
It is.

Speaker 1 (02:29:58):
A sub marin or submarine or rather. Oh, Jab's going
to join the program to talk about the USS Cincinnati
Memorial in the next segment. I hope you can stick.

Speaker 3 (02:30:05):
Around fifty five krc.

Speaker 1 (02:30:10):
A forty six fifty five krc DE talk station. Sadly,
Joe's not been able to get in touch with Joe Jap.
He's been calling, but Joe doesn't answer his phone. And
he was going to be talking about the US sin
same memorial taking shape at the Voice of America Park,
and I can mention it. I do have an article
from Local twelve here. The construction has started. This is

(02:30:32):
really cool. The USS Cincinnati patrolled the oceans of the
world during the Cold War and as my submarine, or
friend Mike, who we also call Cribbage. Mike called this
morning to let me know that was decommissioned thirty years ago.
But they were able to obtain the conning tower and
another couple of bits from the old sub and that's

(02:30:53):
what's going to be on display. But the way they've
got this thing designed, it's really cool. It's sort of
a skeleton of the entire so itself, so you can
get a perspective of how immense this thing was. And
I think it's a fitting tribute for a Cold War
era submarine, which this was to be a Voice of
America park. And if you've never been to the National

(02:31:13):
Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting.

Speaker 8 (02:31:15):
It is.

Speaker 1 (02:31:16):
It's just such a cool thing because that's where, of course,
the Voice of America is broadcast during the Cold War,
and they've got the old room where they used to
do the broadcasting from, and the science behind broadcasting a
signal from that field all the way into the Soviet
Union is truly an amazing thing to witness. It's all

(02:31:38):
the old equipment's there and it's like walking back in time.
But then they show these algorithms and how they would
bounce the signal off the sky so it could land
in any given spot they wanted. It was just the
science behind it was absolutely brilliant. Remember this is the
time of people were sitting there with slide rules in
their hands. So it's like I said, it seems appropriate
to have this memorial there and maybe an opportunity for

(02:32:00):
more folks to get to the National Voice of Voice
of America Broadcast Museum. So following the commission of the submarine,
efforts were made to bring parts but to the tri State,
which is exactly what they've done. So the more will
be one of two dedicated significant weapons in the fight
for global freedom located near the Voice of American Museum.
And I don't know when it's going to open. That's

(02:32:21):
what I was hoping. We would have Joe jap On
to talk about that. Anyhow, let us see here. Phone
lines are open. If you got some of you want
to bring up five one three, seven, four ninety eight
and eight two three talk pound five fifty on AT
and T funds. And since I mentioned that, I just
want to mention yet again it's really important because today
is the honor flight. They've obviously left the CVG. This morning.

(02:32:43):
But you have a great opportunity to feel patriotic and
thank the American veterans are on that flight, eighty eight
of them, I believe eighty of which were Vietnam War veterans,
and they never got to welcome home. But man, I'm
telling you, they put on one hell of an amazing
welcome home ceremony because folks like you show up. Bring
your children if you want to show them patriotism, you

(02:33:04):
want to show them, get them in front of some
veterans and put a big smile on veterans' faces or
maybe even induce an allergy. H Yeah, that happens often.
It's just a cool ceremony. So show up at CVEG
tonight at around nine pm. You might want to get
there a little bit earlier than that so you can
find parking space. It is a very popular event, and
I think that is a great thing that so many

(02:33:24):
people do show up. And going back to the comments
on the politano in these concerns of the Republicans that
they're going to lose the House if they stick to
their principles and pair back the size and scope of government,
and as I pivoted everyone, it's like I'm not quite
sure sure that can happen or that that would happen,

(02:33:45):
because what are the Democrats running on. Who would they
actually get to run against the Republican when all of
them are proposing just batcrap insane things like transgender females
that we men pretend to be women are thinking they're
women participating against women's sports. I mean, this is something
that seems that the whole Democrat Party has completely embraced,

(02:34:07):
and it's really starting to anger a lot of people.
And there have been more and more instances of girls
losing two guys, but this one athlete got a round
of applause. The second place athlete, a female who lost
to a biological male competitor, ran up to the podium
and stood in the number one spot and got a
huge round of applause from the fans that were there

(02:34:28):
to watch the ceremony, and then had to move over
to number two because well, we all knew who got
number one. So we now have a transgender athlete that
dominated the high school softball event in Minnesota, now prompting
a legal challenge against the state for allowing male born
students to participate in female sports. An organization called Female

(02:34:48):
Athletes United filed this law suitent behalf of three high
school girls competing against Marissa Rothenberger, described as a male
born asthet fleet who has won accolades as the starting
pitcher for the Champlain Park High School girls softball team.

(02:35:09):
Court of the Motion found on Monday and US District
Court of Minnesota. Last year, this athlete was awarded first
team All State Athlete honors for girls softball. By awarding
a girls athletic award to a male athlete, Minnesota is
decreasing the opportunities for girls to receive recognition and expanding
opportunities for a male victory. And you know, every week

(02:35:31):
that goes by, we seem to get another story along
these lines. And apparently we know about this particular person
that they has been identified Marissa Rothenburger, because well, he,
she whatever has won some awards. And according to the
original reporting on this court, documents show that the transgender

(02:35:52):
student's mother, Marissa Rothenberger, his mom, successfully to have her
child's name and sex changed at age nine, nine years old,
And that scares the hell out of me. I imagine

(02:36:15):
there was a time in this world when that might
be considered child abuse. To allow a nine year old
to say I am no longer of my own biological sex.
I mean, it sounds like an ideal time for some therapy,
rather than changing the name and giving into the whims
of a nine year old. Anyway. Back in February, the
Department of Education launch a Title nine investigation into Minnesota

(02:36:37):
High School's School league's transgender eligibility policy, prompting Minnesota Attorney
General Keith Elson to sue to stop the Trump administration
from bullying vulnerable children in Minnesota. His words, so you
got the Minnesota Attorney general, and I'm not sure if

(02:36:57):
this represents the will of the Minnesota voters. I know
if I had a daughter playing girls sports, I'd sure
be really pissed off that my attorney general was fighting
to prevent that from happening. Alliance Defending Freedom's legal counsel

(02:37:18):
Suzanne Beecher quoted as saying, by sacrific seeing protection for
female athletes, Minnesota fails to offer girls equal treatment and opportunity,
violating Title nine's provision. Our client, Female Athletes United, is
right to stand up for its members by challenging the
state's discriminatory policy and advocating for true equity in sports,

(02:37:38):
and I agree, and put these girls in danger of
physical issues. You've got their comparative limitations and participation. You
got the benefit of the testosterone flowing around in a
male child. There's no protections in that requires testosterone monitoring
or levels be reduced to a certain amount, and all
that stuff that might equalize the playing field, none of
that exists. Apparently, It's what Doctor Jay's got this morning,

(02:38:01):
Doctor j Welcome to the Morning Show. Final words.

Speaker 7 (02:38:05):
Hey, Brian, I'm sorry, I'm going to change topics. So
everything you said is correct, and it's just insane in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (02:38:10):
What else can you say?

Speaker 7 (02:38:12):
But you have a judge on a few months ago
and you talked about is it's the sixteenth Amendment and
whether if a baby is born in the US there
are an American citizen. I didn't hear at that time.
He addressed the concerns I'm seeing on X that the
actual founders and the people who wrote that amendment said
it was mostly for the slaves, to make sure that

Speaker 1 (02:38:38):
The fourteenth Amendment, I think sixteenth Amendment and land collect
taxes on income that test te sixteenth Amendment.

Speaker 7 (02:38:46):
I of course trust you implicitly on that. And also
there's this newspaper article from the eighteen hundreds that has
been passed around an X that says, supposedly written by
a person who proposed this amendment, that of course it
does not have anything to do with people who are

(02:39:07):
not who are not legally in this country, or not
people not people who are legally in this country. And
he gave some examples of that, and it's much more
far reaching than is in the actual amendment.

Speaker 1 (02:39:18):
Yeah, well, the Supreme Court, I don't know. Supreme Court.
I believe he has already heard arguments on this. I
could be wrong, but it's going to be in front
of them. And I think if you look at, like,
for example, the Brewin decision on the Second Amendment, what
was in place at the time is what should be
applied modern time. So they didn't ban people from owning
cannons back when the Second Amendment came in, so ergo,
that's what the founding fathers embraced and saw. It's been

(02:39:40):
used to allow eighteen year olds to buy firearms under
the Brewined decision. So if you think a lot about it,
along those lines. They probably will look at materials from then,
and they probably will look at the original intent rather
than some subsequent interpretation of it, and go back to
what did the framers intend or what did the folks
intend when they ratified the fourteenth of mend And that's

(02:40:00):
probably where they're going to come down. It's a mystery
