55KRC Wednesday Show - Jack Atherton, Ken Kober, Jason Williams, Judge Napolitano, Mike McNamara

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Five o five. If the five can receive the talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Happy Wednesday, call Kenny Loggins because you're in the danger zone.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, I think we are. Brian Thomas right here wishing
everybody happy Wednesday, middle of the week, mid falk and
halfway there to the weekend, looking forward to it already
and of course looking forward to seven oh five. Everyone's
in the seven oh five The Big Picture with Jack
addan Z brilliant of Jack Atherton revealed today Jack is

(00:54):
going to answer the question does Islam require jihad? Well,
that's curveball from me from Jack Heathden. We get to
learn together what Jacks where Jack's going on that? When
that again seven oh five. Ken cobra ffp President joins us.
Talking about the police officer cleared in the Hinting case,
Hamilon County Prosecutor County Pillage didn't refer to a grand jury,

(01:18):
much of the chagrin of Ryan Hinton's family, but said
the shooting was in fact justified body camera footage's release.
Hinton had a gun he ran from police officers. Police
showed the video to Hinton's father, which led him to
running over and killing a sheriff's deputy, which had no

(01:39):
connection whatsoever to Ryan Hinton getting gun down by the
police for having a gun and threatening the lives of
the people and the community at large. Anyway, details on
that plus Ken Cobra on that topic at seven thirty.
Jason Wilson, since I inquire Bengals lease is up on
June thirtieth, what is going on with the agotiations. We'll

(02:00):
find out from Jason, because I have no idea what's
going on. I haven't really seen anything about that. Judge
Ennena Paulitano on Trump, War and the Constitution. He's on
the same page as I am, on the same page
as Congress from Massi and others. Donald Trump. It's kind
of interesting because we talk about it right now, well,
at least in a moment. What Israel needs and what

(02:26):
we need to use to stop Iran from developing a
nuclear weapon is our bunker busting bombs. The thirty thousand
dollars MOP or thirty thousand pound MOP bomb, which requires
a B two stealth bomber or something of that size
to deliver. Israel doesn't have the capacity to do that.

(02:46):
Learn that yesterday from Daniel Davis. To win a deep dive,
I recommend listening to that podcast, good conversation with Daniel Davis.
Since Israel can't deliver that ordinance, we would have to
do it, and by all accounts, that could penetrate and
blow up the centrifuges located at the Fordham Nuclear plant

(03:06):
if we don't get involved. I don't know how they're
going to get to that. Although the Israelis are wily people.
They might be able to figure out a different way.
I don't know, send in special forces or troops, who knows.
But therein lies the challenge what Trump needs to do
in order to stop or blow up that facility. He

(03:28):
needs Congressional approval to do. We're not at war with
Iran and as of yet, although they're threatening it, if
we get involved, Iran is threatening to go after our
military bases or the United States generally. If they were
to do that initially and go after the United States
military bases or US here domestically, then we might have

(03:49):
a predicate to get members of Congress to say, yes,
let's declare war on Iran and get this over with.
So layers of complications. There's that pesky constitution that we
must deal with, and sometimes it can be pesky but
it's the supreme law of the land. Michael McNamara is
going to join the program at eight forty five From
Trauma to Joy, Life changing lessons that fellow US Marines

(04:13):
taught me after traumatic events occurred in my life, Lessons
that applied to anyone. It's a how to book about
living a great life after trauma enters your life. And
it's more broadly than the US military service and the
trauma that one fate might face is a consequence of
being in combat. But apparently no matter what the traumatic
experience you experience in your life and what you've been through,

(04:35):
there is a path from trauma to joy for you.
And that's the premise of the book. Michael McNamara at
eight forty five on that very important topic. So looking
forward to them on the program. Also looking forward to
hearing from you. You know, I'd like to hear from
folks five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two three dog pound five fifty on
eighteen and t phone now pivoting over headline in the

(04:57):
Wall Street Journal op ed piece, and you know, it
posed some important points. But the background of this is
that pesky Constitution is Iran is Trump's deterrence moment. Joe
briden presidency began to decline. Today he abandoned Afghanistan to
the Taliban. American deterrence collapse US enemies saw at the
moment to strike in Ukraine in the Middle East. Donald

(05:19):
Trump now has an opportunity to reverse mister Biden's Afghan
legacy and restore deterrence if he helps Israel destroy Iran's
nuclear program. Knows the focus is on Donald Trump. I
think this should be a broader focus on members of
Congress are elected officials. These are strategic strikes as the

(05:40):
stakes as the US president contemplates whether you assist Israel
in bombing Iran's nuclear site. Losing the war was still
restraining the dismaement of the nuclear program. Iron's leadership are
hoping that mister Trump will come to the rescue with
more delaying diplomacy. Now Ron may want that. And you
know it didn't take yesterday's conversation about how close nuclear

(06:09):
Iran is to developing enough of this material to actually
create a bomb. Every I mean, I've seen it in
countless articles in the last twenty four hours. Briga McGowan
was on yesterday on energy policy with the Hudson Institute,
and he excellent boiled down in point, you know you
need eighty percent enriched uranium. They're at sixty percent already,

(06:32):
which of course runs right over Iran's argument that it's
for civilian nuclear power generation, which apparently you only need
three or four percent enriched uranium to run a nuclear
power plan. So his point is there are probably a
couple of days from eighty percent in Richmond. And I
have read that in countless different places since he uttered

(06:52):
those words yesterday, so I'm sure he's on the right
track on that. And that's apparently what's going on that
Fortum nuclear facility that's buried deep onunderground, which would require
one of our bunker busting bombs, which Ira or Israel
is incapable right now of delivering anyhow Yet, as mister

(07:15):
Trump said many times, Iran can end the Israeli sold
by Green to roll up its nuclear program, Dismantlis and
Richmond capacity under international supervision, destroyer as centrifugures, and allow
for unhindered future inspections. Simple solution isn't it's refusal. It
is so even is at risk losing much of its
non nuclear military power and top commanders, which is what
Israel's taken care of right now. Shows the regime wants

(07:39):
a nuclear weapon more than it wants peace. I think
that is probably true. See, if rom would just roll
over in the nuclear program, it could keep all of
its rockets, and it could continue to fund the who
thies and all the other you know, terrorist organizations out
there that it funds. It could continue to launch its
own rockets in Israel. You know, if they wanted to

(08:01):
invite the Israeli response for doing something like that, it
could conventional weapons, but it wants a bomb. The world
is watching closely to see how Let's look back to
the journal to see how mister Trump responds, especially the
hard men in Moscow and Beijing, who, by contrast to

(08:23):
the law in the United States of America, can do
to whatever they damn well, please Jijin paying Vladimir Putin
do not need the consent of the masses or their
elected officials to engage in acts of war. They're dictators, right,
That's not the system of government we have. Back to

(08:49):
the journal, does he Trump help a close ally remove
a global threat to peace and diminish a member of
the axis of US adversaries, or does he listen to
the voices of American appeasement on the left and right
who fear any use of force more than they fear
nuclear armed radical regime. Well, I don't know that that's

(09:09):
necessarily the case. Why not put it to a vote,
which is what the Constitution requires? More properly phrased Wall
Street Journal, Do we do our elected officials help a
close ally remove a global threat to peace? Or do

(09:30):
we and are elected officials listen to the voices of
American appeasement on the left and right who fear the
use of force more than a nuclear arm radical regime.
Now I'm sure they are members of Congress who would
rather have Iran go ahead and move forward to get
a bomb eleon Omar, for example. But I'm sure many
members of Congress don't want to go in that direction,

(09:53):
and I think they're required to go on record to
approve or disapprove. Some argue that since Israel is doing
so well, there's no need for the US to join
the fight. But as capable and creative as Israel is,
it lacks the firepower to destroy all of Iron's nuclear
sites from the air. United Nations Nuclear Watchdogs says Israel

(10:14):
has severely damaged the underground of Richmond facility and the
tans that still leaves Fidah buried underneath the mountain. Destroying
the Richmond and Florida would take America's deep penetrating bombs
and the bombers to deliver them. That's the point here.
Others fear that aiding Israel will invite Iran's retaliation against

(10:34):
US troops and expand the war, something that the Supreme
Leader Ayatola Ali Kamani has already said several times in
the last twenty four hours he would do if the
US joins in the battle, we will unleash our rockets
and our military strength on military basis and the United
States were at large. Whether or not you take that

(10:56):
threat seriously, at least he's made it, but it's on
us getting involved. That's what Iran has threatened to do
if Israel attacked. So far, it hasn't done anything yet.

(11:17):
Iran knows that such an attack would invite a far
more fearsome US response than bombs dropped as nuclear sites.
Of course, you can get an authorization for use of
military force, probably more than a declaration of war. Out
of Congress. If Iran were to attack US military basis,
much like we were attacked in nine to eleven and
in other places, it served as a predicate for US

(11:37):
to go in and use military force. There's sort of
a gray area in there. Constitutionally speaking, for a constitutional purist,
it's like, well, wait a second, there is nothing like
There is no mention of an authorization a use of
military force in the Constitution. It says declaration of war.
And I know the Commander in chief has emergency powers
and he can exercise that on a short term basis.

(11:59):
But if we are were embroiled in a conflict requiring
an emergency action by the president, the United States of
America would then require and move forward with congressional action
and declaration of war. It's not that complicated a process
to go through. The isolation ists say bombing Iron will
be another nation building exercise, but no one is talking

(12:20):
about sending American ground troops. An Israeli ground incursion is
more likely if the US doesn't bomb Floordohs during the
nuclear sites, could end the war sooner and at less
cost in lives on both sides. A point that I
don't disagree with. It's the process that I have a
problem with general rights. The Biden president is instructive here

(12:45):
and not merely on Afghanistan. As Russia invaded Ukraine, in
Iran's hoothy proxies attacked US ships in the Red Sea,
mister Biden's strategists shrank from a robust response because they
feared escalation. In practice, this meant Russia in Iran control
when and how to escalate. Mister Trump can't possibly want
to box himself into that corner. I agree with that point.

(13:08):
Ironor its proxies could unleash terrorism against Americans, but that's
nothing new. They've been doing it for decades, going back
to the nineteen eighty three bombing of the marine barracks
in Lebanon and Kobar Towers in Saudi Arabia nineteen ninety six.
The one time in the last twenty five years when
Iran restrained itself was after the US invasion of Iraq
that toppled Saddam Husain. The Moullas feared they were next.

(13:32):
At least that was predicated on an authorization to use
the military force. As shaky a ground as that was
on and under the predicate that they had weapons of
mass destruction, which we found out later wasn't the case.
All of which means that this is a crucial deterrence
moments for the Trump administration as much for Israel. The

(13:54):
world takes the measure. It takes a measure of every
new president, even one like mister Trump who has served before.
He campaigned for reelection as a peacemaker, and US adversaries
were looking to see what that means for how mister
Trump will respond to pressure and strategic threats. If the
US won't help one of its strongest, most loyal allies

(14:17):
finish the job in eliminating Iron's nuclear threat in uncontested airspace,
the message to China will be that there's no chance
the US will defend Taiwan. But you see that paragraph.
If the US won't help, Going back to my point,
that would be more than just Donald Trump in his

(14:40):
executive authority as commander in chief of the US military.
If the US won't help, if our elected officials won't help,
if Congress will not authorize some use of military force,
then that message would be projected, wouldn't it. But our
elected officials would then be on record and we would
know where they sit and where they stand on this,

(15:02):
And I would argue that the vast majority of them
don't want to go on record. They want to just
put their heads in the sand and go ahead and
let Donald Trump do what he wants in so far
as military action is concerned, And you might want that.
I mean, I honestly, you know, in my heart of hearts,
it'll be nice if we might send one of those
thirty thousand pound bunker busting mop bombs into the four

(15:25):
to nuclear facility, blow up the centrifuges, and send her
on back into the nineteenth century when it comes to
the nuclear power development. Wouldn't that make the word a
more stable play since their batcrap crazy? Yeah, but I'm
a still believer in the process. Therein lies the challenge.

Congressman Mansy introduced bipartisan legislation seeking to rein in the

(16:52):
Trump power. When it comes to our position with this war,
and he says that he says the truth, and again,
you know this, you the wrong way. I'm not against
blowing up the facility. I just want it done appropriately.
I don't want some crazy president. I mean, take Trump

(17:13):
out of office and put somebody else in there, someone
from the left. Put a Joe Biden there and an incompetent,
doddering fool being manipulated by puppet masters behind the scenes
who have no accountability in the American public. Do you
want them controlling the situation unrestrained by Congress and without
congressional authorization. He said, this is not our war, but
if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to

(17:38):
our constitution. I'm introducing a bipartisan War Powers resolution to
mart to prohibit our involvement. I invite all members of
Congress to cosponsor the resolution. So let's say the resolution
gets shot down. Where does that leave us? And I'm
kind of wondering what the legal follow through might be
if Trump were to go ahead and authorize the military

(17:59):
as he has he's able to do because he is
the commander in chief and we drop one of these
mother of all bombs on the Fordham Nuclear facility. You
can't unring that bell. What are you gonna take him?
The court too late for an injunction. I don't want
to see that happening. Create a bit of a crisis

(18:21):
from a constitutional perspective. And dare I suggest, because you
know what would happen, someone would introduce articles of impeachment.
You want to go down that road again? Five twenty

Fifty five KRC station.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
The heighth of summer is upon us. It is five
point thirty on a Wednesday, in a very happy and
pleasant Wednesday to let's go to the phones. Oh look, Tom,
call tell, I'm welcome to the morning show Aways. Good
to hear from me this hour.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Eg, good morning, And it sounds like summer is going
to give us a big old smack in the faces.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
We oh, yeah, a beat, a b slap.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Oh, I cannot eats the worst for me. I can.
I can get out there and and ten degrees below
and I'm not happy about it, but I can at
least do that.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
This heat, yeah, especially with the humidity, you know, it's
it's it's like they say out west, well, it's dry heat,
and there is something that we said for that. But
when we walk out into like it feels like fog
along with ninety plus degrees, man, it just sucks out loud.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah, that's no, that's no blanet.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
This whole situation is uh uh is very concerning on
many levels. Yeah, and obviously my feelings are I wish
we weren't involved in it, or or any conflict or
anything like that. But sometimes you have to deal with
this stuff because he's the foreign uh leaders or countries

(20:03):
or bad actors. UH need someone to stop them. Uh,
it's necessary. But I do agree with you that it
must be a process and we must follow it. It
must be a good, logical, sensible process. So the thing
that's concerning to me, uh, that I that I want
to talk about this morning is the way our leaders

(20:24):
function together and work these things out. And obviously you've
got two sides to this Democrat Republican, Uh, but you've
got these fashions within these sides that are that are
you know, arguing against one another. And it's this whole
thing with with with Massy. Now, don't get me wrong,
I am not using this man of of any bad

(20:48):
intentions or or or anything like that. But I just
don't like the look of of Republicans arguing and fighting
against Republicans and doing stuff like this, you know, out
in public. So I have to believe there was something
behind the scenes first that happened or was said or discussed,
and massive figure he has no choice but to do

(21:08):
something like this. So I'm not I'm not really I
don't have a problem with what he's doing. I just
don't like the look of it because Hey, Republicans, either party,
they need to they need to at least seem to
be united, uh and be as a country to the
rest of the world. We need to appear to be united,

(21:30):
and we are anything but that on the political level.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
No, I understand that.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
But isn't that the broader debate that's brought about by
requiring Congress to actually discuss and and and and negotiate
the merits of whether or not we engage in a conflict.
That discussion is going to have to take place. That's
the point, come Massy is making. Trump cannot just go
unilaterally do this according to our constitution. So if we're

(21:57):
going to get in broiled in a conflict, then you
need to hear from all political perspectives and every representative
and get them on record and have this out loud
negotiation and debate. And yes, there we disagreement over whether
or not we should use our B two's and drop
a giant bomb on the fourtoh base. Is it in
the world's best interest to prevent Iran from getting a

(22:19):
nuclear weapon? I would say it is that we should
have a conversation about the merits of that. We're going
to have to have and we're having it. I mean,
we're sort of having it around the fringes right now.
The focus is on Massey's bill and the Democrats bill.
I think it's Tim Kaine's bill about that exact point,
which is, we wouldn't show it. We shouldn't really even

(22:40):
need a resolution or a bill to have this discussion
because the Constitution specifically requires an Act of Congress to
get involved in war, but we don't even have an
authorization to use the military force. We're gonna have to
have a discussion about that as well. So let's get
it over with before Trump just goes ahead and orders
it done, which he doesn't have the power to do,
which is, I point it out, is going to end

(23:00):
up resulting in an impeachment hearing. I don't want to
go through that again, do you. Right, Well, let's get
it out there.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
I agree with you. I agree that the conversation needs
to be had. It's a matter of how how we're
going about doing it. I don't and again I'm not
saying that Massey's doing anything wrong by this resolution. I
don't know what all the inner workings are and all
that stuff behind the scenes discussions. I would like to
think there was some kind of a discussion, but you know,

(23:29):
multiple attempts to deal with this before it went public
like this, But who knows. I don't want to think
that that Massey is doing this and decided I'm not
even gonna bother trying to have a conversation. Look how
he dealt with me, you know, how he reacted to
how I voted against this or that. So I just
I don't like the whole looks of it. And it's

(23:50):
and it's unfortunately, there's too many of these these elected officials,
and I don't I don't necessarily think this was this
was Massey's position, because he's done too much to prove otherwise.
But too many of these people are only making decisions
and only making public comments based on how they feel
they're going to be seen by the public or whether

(24:10):
they get re elected or not. Well, that's the part
of the spiless crap we need to get rid of,
and we need to make sure we consider it when
it comes to the next elections and who we're going
to put in there.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Okay, now here, here's part of the problem in this discussion.
If you got them all in the room and he said,
can I see a show of hand. Does anybody think
Iran should get a nuclear weapon? I would think that
most of the Democrats and the Republicans would all raise
their hand and say no. But if Donald Trump is
the one that wants to initiate the process of stopping
that from happening, then the Democrats would raise their hand

(24:42):
and say no. Just because Donald Trump thinks it's a
good idea. That is not the discussion we should be having.
What should be having is a discussion about the nuclear
realities of Iran and how close they are to getting
a blank and bomb. But it goes beyond that. This
invites your point, don't vote Democrat. The only reason that
Democrats would say no to that is because, well, Donald

(25:04):
Trump's in favor of that process, right.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
I mean, if we let Trump, let's say we we
are our elected officials, go, let's support our president in
protecting our country and helping protect our our allies and
let him do his thing. That is going to come
off as a huge win for Donald Trump. And unfortunately,
there's there's people in Congress that just cannot stomach that idea.

(25:29):
They lose sight of reason, they lose sight of safety
of the world in our country. Just despite exactly, and
that's ridiculous. So therefore, like you said, don't vote Democrat.
Have a great game, Brian, Thank you too.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Tom. See, Aaron lies the problem. We move away from
the discussion, which is the nuclear capability of Iran and
whether because Israel has launched this attack, we're in a
position now, generally speaking, to achieve that goal. That has
nothing to do with Trump at all, not a bit.

(26:07):
He just happened to be the commander in chief of
the US military. If Joe Biden was in there and
he was advocating for the use of one of these
massive bombs, I would still say the same process applies.
Have Congress decide and give them the authorization to enter
into what could be a protracted war. Although if your
goal is set out front, the only thing we're doing

(26:28):
here is to blow up the ford of nuclear centrifuges
and end it. That'll be it. We're all we're going
to do is stop the nuclear development and the war
is over. There is no war after that. You let
the Iranians go about their business and be their fundamentalist
regime and keep the eye of toll in power. That's
what they want, fine, let them have it. But they
don't have a bomb. But see that's not what the

(26:50):
discussion is going to be. It's gonna be Trump tump

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (27:25):
Back in the eighties, Pat Robertson sent a camera crew
into Iran and he showed where their Maodi, their Muslim
version of the Messiah, is going to come out. And
in order for him to come to save the Muslim
world from the so called Jews and Christians, they had

(27:45):
to bring chaos into the world. It's in their writings
and to do what better way to do that than
to launch all these missiles that everybody and so, and
they have a word in their lexicon that allows them
to lie to Christians and Jews, and so you can't

(28:05):
trust them, right, So we have no choice. We'd better
do something now we're to be too late then on
tacking America and Israel. We are the big Satan obviously
to them, and Israel's a little Satan.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Sure, there's no question, there's no question in my mind.
The belief system maybe calls for that. I'm no theologian,
most notably, I'm no, no, no expert in the Koran
or things Muslim. But yeah, taking all yourself at face value,
if all that's true, and that's exactly what they want
to accomplish, and I thoroughly believe you are right that
they will lie through their teeth, much like the Chinese

(28:43):
Communist Party always does to us, to advance their own
personal best interest. Then Congress should act and say let's
go through with this and let's end it right now,
regime change whatever, and we're gonna go all in, tooth
and nail. We're gonna kill these guys. We're gonna blow
them up to end the nuclear capacity, and we're going
to stop the threat that Iran represents to US and

(29:04):
the rest of the world right now, period and a story.
Then go on record and do it. My only point is,
under our supreme law of the land, the president can't
do it unilaterally. As good of an idea as it
happens to be, that's only my only point. Do I
think it's a bad idea that we do that now,
But consider if it's a different regime, Consider if it

(29:30):
was some other president. Consider if it's a different country
in a different war environment. I mean, we've got into
war with Iraq and under very questionable circumstances, and a
lot of people think that that was a colossal waste
of time, effort, treasure, and life because there were no
weapons of mass destruction. So you know, it's it's it

(29:52):
is complicated, to say the least. But I'm not arguing
with you or what they stand for. I'm only arguing
that this is broader than the presidential authority. And if
members of Congress agree with you, Charlie, then they would
all vote and give Donald Trump the authorization to go
ahead and drop a giant bomb on the Fordham Nuclear

to Florida. During the first five months of the year,
seventy two year old Florida man has placed three thousand,

(32:29):
four hundred calls to nine one one, pushing his five
year total of nine to one one calls to now
sixteen thousand. Why are you doing that? Court investigators who
arrested this what they call recurring caller for allegedly stalking

(32:49):
and neighbor place last week responded to a nine one
wall claiming someone was shooting an AR fifteen in the
roadway outside of seeing Petersburg residence. Officers showed up, they
found out it was a family barbecue with small children
at play. When I asked about the gunplay, numerous neighbors
advised that such event did not occur. Complainant Samuel Lee Thomas,

(33:12):
who no relation thankfully, lives across the street from where
the shooting purportedly happened. Police communications records show that Thomas
this year dialed police six hundred and forty seven times
to make complaints about the neighboring home. He's made allegations
about narcotic sales, firearms, usuage, disorderly conduct, and suspicious activity.
A woman named Aquinatt Peterson, who lives at the targeted property,

(33:37):
told police that the nine to one one calls had
resulted in hundreds of interactions with police, and that Thomas
frequently stops in front of other residents to yell obscenities
at her and her family, concluding it was readily apparent
Thomas was utilizing the police maliciously harrass the Peterson and
her family for no legitimate reasons. Police busted him for
stalking and false reports of a crime, also charged with

(33:57):
resisting arrests for allegedly tussling with officers when they tried
to handcuff him. Can you imagine having that guy's a neighbor.
We'll just go ahead and honor him with the award. Detroit,

in a caravan of multiple sports vehicles that were driving
recklessly in the area stemming from a wedding party heading

on the scene and did not wish to provide any

(35:24):
further information. They say with the aid of a confidential
source who had been providing information to police for more
than a decade. They identified as Rabot as the suspect.
Rabot refused to speak with investigators and was arrested for
reckless discharge of firearm and freed on a one thousand
dollars personal bond. Fifteen hundred bucks a day so you

with minors now nomenclature. According to WXI in local news,
David Finkel of Shelbyville Authority say mid sixties accused of

(36:11):
masquerading as an adult woman and exchanging sexually explicit messages
with several children. Federal investigators identified this guy and possession
of numerous explicit videos and images of children, further alleging
that the suspect attempted to obscure the material using a
hidden folder on his smartphone. Yeah good Luck with That

Welcome back New Hampshire, Gary, Good to hear from you
this morning.

Speaker 9 (40:10):
Good to hear from you. Brian, Hey, you're still gonna
love me, But I have strongly disagree with you. I
see this as no constitutional crisis whatsoever. Trump can go
ahead and do certain say he could go ahead and
strike Iran and as a commander in chief, he can

(40:31):
place the troops anywhere he wants. And if we look
back at our history, both in World War Two, we
had actions that we were taking to aggravate the Japanese
right with the way we we were placing our troops
all around Japan at the time.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
But that's not way war.

Speaker 9 (40:57):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
We haven't troops. I mean, Donald Trump, I guess, could
order troops into Iran ram consider that an invasion and
then launch an attack on military forces, which would then
be a predicate for engaging in war. But engaging in
war as a first action, I say, the constitution requires
some approval. Even if you believe in authorization, you use

(41:18):
the military force at least requires some authority from our
elected officials to do that. I'm talking about use of force,
not placement of troops.

Speaker 9 (41:27):
Well exactly, but you could go ahead and do We've
done this many times before where a president can authorize insurgency,
you know, operation back in the nineteen eighties where we
went into Guahana, right, and then we also have done

(41:48):
it back in several other times with Afghanistan, and that
was not considered a war.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Well, I'm not going to argue that presidents have you know,
launched missile strikes on individuals in countries with whom we
have no declaration of war, and I've never argued that
it was an appropriate thing to do so because of our constitution.
I mean, just because the precedent has been set by
prior violators of the limitations of power on the executive

(42:18):
brands doesn't mean all of them were appropriate. It's just
the stage has been set for this sort of kingly
use of force because well, we just let it happen before,
so we're going to use that as a predicate to
allow it again. I'm just making the same argument I've
made in previous actions along those lines. You know, waging
war requires congressional approval, and that's my point.

Speaker 9 (42:39):
Okay, then let's define what a war is.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Okay, Well, an active military aggression against a foreign power. Well,
if the Canada launched a bomb on the United States,
wouldn't you call that an active war? If Japan blows
up the military base in Hawaii, wouldn't you call that
an active war? Yes? Okay, then you get Congress to
authorize a declaration of war. That's the way it's supposed

(43:06):
to be. We were in Vietnam for how many years
no war was declared Korea, same thing, no war was declared?
Was that appropriate?

Speaker 9 (43:16):
Nonetheless, it was done.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Hey, you see fast and loose. I'm not a fast
and loose like Congress of MASSI when it comes to
the Constitution, the requirements that are set forth therein just
because it was done before, it doesn't make it right.

Speaker 9 (43:33):
Right right, But I think we live in a gray
area here, because the gray area is as commander in chief,
a strike does not necessarily constitute a war.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
It depends on your perception. If you're the recipient of
a strike, it probably does.

Speaker 9 (43:53):
Only to the point to where you might have troops
deployed longer than the war. You know, the Congressional Use
of War Powers Act dictates which is more than sixty
to ninety days.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
But we don't. We don't have one of those yet,
do we see we're talking about theoreticals here. We don't
have a congressional authorization to use the military force to
go against Iran right now.

Speaker 9 (44:16):
No, No, there's a dictate. There's a dictator. It's called
the War's Power Act. It dictates how when the National
Guard gets pulled up and when the reserve gets pulled up,
how many days they have to be pulled up before
they have to get a war Our Powers Act COLD.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Which is supposed to be a temporary measure until Congress acts.
See and even the war even that is constitutionally questionable.
I don't know that's ever been tested in court. So listen,
I understand where you're coming from. I mean, I'm a
realist here. But just because others have done it does

(44:55):
not necessarily mean and I would say it doesn't mean
at all that it is lawful.

Speaker 9 (45:01):
But they're Okay, I agree with what you're saying. But
there is a War Powers Act that dictates who could
be called up, who could be placed, and what powers
can be used. And that is an absolute doctor. And
I've been in the military thirty four years. They taught
it to us all the time.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Fair enough. Appreciate your service to our country too, by
the way, Charlot.

Speaker 9 (45:25):
Oh absolutely, Hey, thank you, Bob.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, I enjoy these debates. See, this is how you
flush things out. But see, that's kind of my point
about Congress. If this is a good idea, and I
think it's probably a good idea, ron's an existential threat
to the entire Middle East, most notably to our friends
in israel I don't want those crazy so and sos
to have a bomb, and if we could we could

(45:49):
prevent that from happening, the world would be a better
and safer place. But you see, it's conversations like this
which are members, are elected officials are supposed to have
when it comes to authorization to use of military force
or declarations of war. We're supposed to have these conversations
out loud and talk about the pros and cons of
them to help our president and guide our president to

(46:10):
make an educated response, not a knee jerk reaction, and
not suggesting it's a knee jerk reaction. I mean, he's
the one that ultimately delayed ira or Israel at least
sixty days. I think he knew damn well they were
going to do this, and that was where he got
that sixty days. Look, we're going to try to sit
down and figure out some way of resolving this and
get them to give up on their nuclear aspirations, which

(46:30):
are quite evident given their enrichment capabilities. But that didn't happen.
Iran basically raised its metaphorical middle finger at the whole process,
and okay, day sixty one, Israel's unleashed and their reaking
havoc all over Iran. Sucks to be the Iranians, but
the Iranians also have a heap load of missiles. We
talked about this yesterday with Daniel Davis Deep Dive. They

(46:52):
could do a dirty bomb. There's a Financial Times article
and they pointed out that listen, you know, Iran could
choose to demonstrate it crude nuclear weapon to try to
shock Israel and ending the war. Possibility could actually set
off a dirty bomb, which uses conventional explos as to
scatter radioactive material. Kind of a scenario experts worry about
would be the use of a ship to detonate the

(47:13):
advice near the Israeli Pourta Haipha. That would be a problem,
wouldn't it radioactive Hipha. General believe TRON would need to
get to ninety percent enrichment, some say eighty to manufacturing
a nuclear weapon. They already have sixty percent. We learned
that yesterday from McGowan, among others. I've read a multitude

(47:34):
of times over the past twenty four hours. Something that
could be done within days, which is something Brigham pointed out.
You know, going from sixty percent to nuclear grade weapons
level doesn't take that long. It's a longer process to
go from you know, the whatever is extracted from the
ground to get it up to say sixty percent. But

(47:54):
once you reach that level, it's easy to enrich it
to the point where you have nuclear weapon capability the
grade uranium. So that apparently is where we are, and
I do believe the Israelis had figured that out and
knew that it was in their best interest to go
ahead and hurry up and start blowing up the Iranians.
Plus those pesky miscals that the Iranians keep exporting to

(48:15):
the terrorists have been posing a problem for Israel for
how many years now. Then there's also the scenario that
they would engage in chemical warfare. There's the scenario that
they might start shooting at US military bases if we
get involved, a genuine reality. Daniel Davis pointed that out
as well. I mean, the Iatola has already threatened that.

(48:35):
Now are we gonna capitulate just because the Iotola threatens
to go after our military basis with his fairly long
range missiles that still remain in the hands of the Iranians.
That's a threat that we're gonna have to cope with
and deal with. I believe that, and it certainly remains
a threat regardless of whether we enter this conflict or
not complicated. Hell, yes, we're talking about war here someplace

(49:04):
where you should not contemplate war or help try to
cope with the realities of global conflict. Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
How's that for a segue? So sorry for Gate of
Heaven Heaven to come on the heels of that, But
it is an absolutely beautiful, beautiful place, and they're honoring
life on sacred ground there. It's more than a cemetery,
a sacred space where the dignity of every person respected,

(49:27):
life is honored from beginning to end, and particularly gorgeous
landscape surroundings are ideal for prayer, reflection, remembrance, meditation, a
nice stroll to get your mind cleared, engage in a
meditative process and live in the moment. These are all
wonderful things that can be accomplished in Gate of Heaven,

This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station our iHeartRadio Music.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
It's six twenty one and fifty five KRC detalk station. Yeah.
Warpowers Resolution nineteen seventy three apparently adopt in response to
Congress's perception that Nixon and Johnson overreached in the Vietnam conflict.
Purpose to ensure that both President and Congress use their
collective judgment when introducing or continuing US armed forces and hostilities.

(50:28):
Requires presidents to notify Congress than forty eight hours of
military action, consult regularly with Congress after deploying armed forces,
and withhold armed forces from remaining in combat for more
than sixty days unless Congress authorizes military action. That's my point.
Congress is going to have to be involved in this.
You know, we need to have a discussion and debate

(50:49):
about the realities of entering into a military conflict. Now,
some might argue they dropping one of these bunker busters
right on that Fortum nuclear facility and then getting the
hell out would be within this forty eight hour period.
You might that may be the only action you have
to take. But usually these things have a tendency to escalate.
When you got the iatol scene, he's going to start

(51:11):
attacking our military bases, then you're looking at a longer
term conflict. What actually happens remains to be seen. But
that's why we have conversations. Linda, thank you so much
for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 11 (51:22):
Good morning.

Speaker 12 (51:24):
My question is, and maybe maybe you can answer.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
It, probably not, probably not.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
Honestly, don't think Trump should be doing this.

Speaker 10 (51:35):
I really don't.

Speaker 13 (51:36):
He's got time.

Speaker 12 (51:37):
We've been told for years they got a nuclear bomb.
I think na Yu is playing him like he did
blush and this would be a Democrats what dream if
he went to war?

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Well it might be right.

Speaker 8 (51:54):
I mean, the politics is a stranger piece legacy media.

Speaker 12 (52:00):
Again, you have to think think about this, these warmongers,
these rhinos in Congress, yes, in the Deep States, that
they're funded, Their campaigns are primarily funded to the military
industrial complex.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
A lot of it is what did do?

Speaker 10 (52:15):
What did Trump do?

Speaker 5 (52:17):
He stopped funding Ukraine?

Speaker 12 (52:19):
They need to get their profit margins backed up, So
let's start some more rhetoric.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
That is one element of it. But on the other side.
You've got the likes of those leftist multi billionaires funding
the leftshire and protests against all things Trump. That was
my point early in.

Speaker 12 (52:38):
The program that we'll get another damn time.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
For me well in the debate, won't be I mean,
this is the thing. When you're talking about this use
of military force and whether or not we should bomb
or not bomb, you're supposed to talk about the idea
and the reality of what it might bring the bombing.
Is it a good thing, is it a bad thing?
What might be accomplished?

Speaker 12 (52:56):
Not who you can do in the place. You can
you know, sanctions, he can get our allies to hold
sactions create Uh, there's no trade, no imports or exports
to Iran with our allies and ourselves. There's plenty of
things he can do first before dropping a bomb and
learning these Democrats laugh their ass off.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Well, it's well, and I guess it has to be
stated out loud. That's about all the Democrats can do.
It's just protests literally, anything Trump does, good or bad.
I would like them to have a conversation about the
propriety and the benefit of bombing or not. I'm gonna
hear him go on record to say whether or not
it's a good idea from a militaristic standpoint, from a

(53:38):
global stability standpoint, from what would happen in Iran if
we did that? What would happen if we didn't do it?
Are there other options, as Linda you're pointing out, maybe
there are other sanctions gonna be imposed to, you know,
bring Iran to its knees. Those all those are all
discussions we have to have. Listen. I don't like war.
I don't want our men and women to die in

(54:00):
a conflict. Period. If we are, it's different.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
I think weird to death here.

Speaker 12 (54:06):
And I'm sorry, it's it's just I mean.

Speaker 6 (54:10):
I'm an old woman, you know.

Speaker 12 (54:12):
I don't want to see these young.

Speaker 5 (54:13):
Kids going to war. Well, and this is ridiculous.

Speaker 12 (54:16):
And I honestly believe that this is one way, because
Trump is being so strong right now, that this is
one way to mess up his campaign plant you know, promises,
And where's that money going to come from if we
go to war?

Speaker 5 (54:32):
Well, I got to come from that corner wall.

Speaker 12 (54:34):
Wow, what a great win.

Speaker 6 (54:36):
For the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Well, I would like to point out also, Linda, we're
out of money.

Speaker 12 (54:42):
Oh probably were, I'm sure we could squeeze some more out.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Oh you know, we'll print some more money to make
things happen. Absolutely, you make valid points, Linda. I'm not
arguing with you necessarily, but see, I want a debate.
I don't want unilateral decision making. That's my point. Now,
the Command INCHIEF needs to be able to react if
we are threatened or attacked. That's a different scenario. We

(55:06):
are not under attack right now. Israel Is they're an ally,
but we are not. And I don't think we have
an obligation, contractual or otherwise to render military assistance to
the Israelis if they are under attack. And let's face it,
they've been under attack now for well since their inception,

(55:28):
and they've done a damn good job defending themselves. It
was a period in time that it was the Sixth
Day War. I mean, hell, they controlled Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza.
I mean they had everything, they gave it back, but
we weren't there. Thanks Linda, eight two three talk now,

(55:49):
I f II fifteene ey teen to fuzz. I think
I slurred a lot of that. Anyway. Let us see
here QC kinetics. If you're a person living in pain,
yet our threat is pain. To remember my dad when
he had so much pain he could he was praying
for the day he could get his knee in hip replacement.
And you may be in that situation talking to your

(56:09):
doctor about surgery after being on steroids and injections and
all that. How about QC Kinetics. You know, they're offering
a free consultation to see if this may be inappropriate
treatment for you, because apparently the Court of the Folks
a QC Kinetics and the medical team there, they have
helped tens of thousands of people in this nation and
a bunch of people locally as well, get well relief
from the pain using your own body's healing powers, well

(56:32):
respected protocols in cute, potent and powerful cellular level treatments,
And they can take your own bodies natural healing regenerative
properties and put them right there where that pain is
to help get to the source of the pain. So
maybe saying goodbye to chronic pain is a possibility for you,
So find out call them up. It's free consultation. Five

You know, you can indict a ham sandwich because they
control the evidence that's presented and they can taint it
or you know, a sway a grand jury in any way,
shape or form they feel because it's a it's a
close behind closed doors, closed proceeding. So that I mean,

(59:18):
I hear what you're saying, but I mean it is
Connie Pillage. I mean she is a leftist and the
idea that maybe a police officer might be held accountable
for a wrongful shooting. That seems to be like right
up her alley, under logical, you know, analysis, but who knows.

Speaker 13 (59:35):
That's what I thought. Also, And as for our overseas confrontation,
why don't people think that they wouldn't take depleted uranium
or the enriched uranium, put them in where there's five
hundred pound missiles and send it run over top of
Teyran or excuse me, or over top of Tel Aviv
or anywhere else.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Well, yeah, that's the point.

Speaker 13 (59:55):
When they when they shoot it down, it's going to
if you're gonna have depleted urane or enriched uranium all
over the city.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Well yeah, I mean it's a point bringing them Accoum
made yesterday. It's a point from the Financial Times that
it just pointed out a moment ago.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
It's it's not a difficult thing to do to use
conventional explosives to blow up sixty percent and rich uranium
and turn the whole place into a glowing radioactive site.
You kill a lot of people with that.

Speaker 13 (01:00:21):
That's what I'm concerned.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Well, it's a legitimate, it's a very legitimate concern, Bobby,
and I'm sure it's a concern that our military leaders
are talking about. I mean, there are Runians are crazy
and they're back on their heels. I don't think they
really fully expected that they would lose control over their
own airspace. But they still have a lot of missiles
and apparently hypersonic missiles which are making their way into
Tel Aviv. So yeah, it's it's it's a very serious concern,

(01:00:47):
you know. They the one thing, though, you also have
to remember that, you know, it's like anything we do,
the Iranians could invite the wrath of humanity where they
to use nuclear power, even if it's a dirty bomb
on the population generally speaking, whether it's Israelis or anybody

(01:01:07):
else for that matter. I mean, they're already fairly isolated.
Most of the globe is complying with the sanctions that
we've levied on them. The only people that are buying
Iranian oil are the Chinese, and they're getting it at
a substantial discount, and they're one or two bombs away
from Israel to cutting off even that source of revenue.
So they're not in a great position to want to
start launching nuclear dirty bombs on the world, because well,

(01:01:31):
something tells me that they might be inviting an unbelievably
horrific response from a lot of different countries because everybody's
at risk if they do that. I agree with you,
my friends, So hopefully they're sitting down and talking about
the practical realities of something that will be that horrific.

(01:01:53):
Appreciate the call, Bobby, always do a marine hang on

want to mention USA Installation because it's an awesome product.
I mean, it is an outstanding product. You know, go

I'd love to see the frustration on just record space.
When things don't fire, don't blame Joe five two three
thousd See what Moreen's got this morning, Mornen. Thanks for
calling and holding over the break there. Good to hear
from you today.

Speaker 10 (01:03:36):
Hi, good morning, Brian. Thanks for taking my call. Please
do calling in response to your caller a little while
ago about the War Powers.

Speaker 8 (01:03:44):
Act yees Trump.

Speaker 10 (01:03:45):
There are excellent sources of information with people. I read
a book almost a year ago. It's called The Midnight
Writer Rides Again by Derek Johnson and ns. He outlines
the expansion of Trump's war powers during his presidency and
it tells how he transformed his role through executive orders,
and one specifically being one three eight four eight, which

(01:04:07):
outlines external interference in the election procedure. And that brings
up a little bit of a rabbit trail. Here is
cash Btel just signed, Yes, released information. Yeah, to twenty
twenty is not over. They're going to prove that there
was fraudulent activity in that election. But I digress. I'm
going to go back to my War Powers Act information.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Honestly, when I saw you were on the line there,
I kind of thought you might be bringing up cash
Battel and lo and behold, my prediction was true. Although
you're not going to dwell on it, I can I
could let my listeners know about it, but go.

Speaker 10 (01:04:39):
Ahead, I'll make a whole nother call on that more,
but for now, let's cover this. So he did this
through the executive orders and that specific one I just
mentioned one three, eight, four eight, and then also military
regulations and through the use and that's how he was
able to get these war Powers Act. But on December
twentieth of twenty nineteen, he made a signific to get

(01:05:00):
moved to establish Space Force as a new branch of
the military. And then in twenty twenty he declared himself
a wartime president through response to COVID nineteen, so as
because that was because of the possible because of China.
But anyway, so the book is called Midnight Writer writes again.

(01:05:23):
But also there's an article that you can read. It's
like a shortened version of that book, and it's called
Trump's War Powers, How he became a wartime leader and anyway,
so that it will explain so many different things.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
So pursuit to what authority did he make himself a
wartime president because of COVID nineteen, I guess you know,
all of this sounds constitutionally questionable to me. Much in
the same way. You know, many people argue the War
Powers Resolution is unconstitutional because it changes the constitution warpowers
framework that's in the Constitution. So you know, I mean,

(01:05:59):
has any of this ever been tested in cord You know, maybe.
And the fact that you know, Donald Trump exercised extra
powers under COVID played right into the Democrat's hands when
they started locking everything down and telling us what we
could and couldn't do, including gathered together collectively protest, speak
our minds, some of the exercise our First Amendment rights
worshiping that kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (01:06:22):
Well, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 10 (01:06:22):
I'm going to send you the article. It's called Trump's
War Powers, How he became more temperate, and there's a
whole section on COVID nineteen and how it applies. So
it'll tell you everything you need to know, and I'll
send you out. But I want to talk more about
cash Betel's post later tomorrow because there definitely is going
to be a reversal of the twenty twenty election. They're

(01:06:44):
going to be able to prove it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
I how can you unring four years of a presidency
that's over well.

Speaker 10 (01:06:50):
Under continuity of government. The executive orders that he did
find they made him press. Okay, you know how he
wears the hat that says twenty Oh gosh, he's got
the dash forty forty five through forty seven.

Speaker 8 (01:07:07):
What is it?

Speaker 10 (01:07:08):
Yeah, forty five dash forty seven. That means he has
been president through those three presidencies. It's hard to explain,
but Derek Johnson's book Midnight Writer Writes Again explains all
of that.

Speaker 8 (01:07:22):
Also.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Okay, so he has.

Speaker 10 (01:07:24):
Been president during that period of time.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
I know it sounds crazy, but it is crazy because
if he was, if he was president he won the election,
then he wouldn't be president now because we have a
constitutional amendment which limits you to two terms.

Speaker 10 (01:07:37):
Figure that one out'll you'll you'll see, Brian, You'll see
it's going to play out, I promise you.

Speaker 8 (01:07:45):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Does that know it sounds crazy? Does that mean that
I didn't win our bet? And then I'm gonna have
to get the money back from the Alzheimer's Foundation that
you've donated to the money in my that you can
see them on the bet I did.

Speaker 10 (01:07:56):
I did pay that and I'm not going to make
you pay it back because it was a great cause.
But at the time my timing was wrong. I made
the mistake of setting a deadline. Yeah, and that's where
I messed up.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
But you're great. You're great market that'd be good. You're great.
You're always on the cutting edge of what sounds like
conspiracy theories, which in most cases turn out to be accurate.
So I look forward to reading the materials you send along,
and I certainly appreciate you tunning into the program and
keeping me on my does I really do six forty five?

(01:08:29):
She's great? Fifty five cares the detog station, the complication,
layers of complication on unringing Joe Biden's term in office,
or myriad uh. Let me strongly recommend to get your
car in foreign exchange. Traditionally manufactured imported cars. Foreign exchange
the place to go to save money and get better

(01:08:51):
customer service. I would argue, I don't know if there's
possibly better customer service out there at dealerships, but I
know there's better pricing in foreign exchange. You don't sacrifice
anything by way the technical expertise of the of the
technicians working on your car. They are as certified. They
have your manufacturers data and information, including stuff to upgrade software.

(01:09:11):
Love the story about the guy with the Honda, still
under warranty, had a run around at this dealership, took
it into Foreign Exchange. The dealership claimed there were no
codes thrown. Foreign Exchange has the exact same software for
the Honda, hooked it up and lo and behold, it
was filled with codes. He took it back to the
dealer and headed out with them. Foreign Exchange can help

(01:09:31):
you out in that kind of circumstance. S car's under warranty,
you got to get an oil change, save money at
Foreign Exchange like I do. And that's the difference between
Foreign Exchange and the dealers. It's saving money. You get
a full warranty on parts and service from the good
people there, and great customer service. As I mentioned, the
Westchester location is the one I can talk about specifically
because that's where I've been going for a long long time.

Six fifty five KRC my.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Gooty five kr CD talk station the incomparable Jack add
in Big Picture with Jack Alden after the top of
the ur news by ken Co FOB President. The officer
involved in the shooting in the hint In case was
cleared not going in front of the grand jury. Connie
Pillage said she wouldn't be referring it to the grand
jury because she found his actions completely justifiable. Argue amongst yourselves,

(01:10:33):
let's see what cribbage Mike's got. Mike, welcome back my
summer and your friend. Good to hear from you this morning.

Speaker 15 (01:10:39):
Good morning, mister Thomas. Yes, from the evidence that I've seen,
clearly not as much as the DA's office has seen.
I think she and her stayoff arrived to the correct
decision yesterday not to even send it to the grand jury.
And the family has retained counsel to file a civil suit.

Speaker 9 (01:10:57):
Clearly they're right.

Speaker 15 (01:10:58):
But I'm always entertained by the fact that either a
member of the victim's family, which is tragic that the
young man lost his life, but clearly won the attorney
and I know he's representing the family, But when you
hear that phrase that he did.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
Not get justice.

Speaker 15 (01:11:13):
I'm sorry, counselor your client and yours in the estate
of his family, they did get justice for the past
six weeks. Why that officer twisted in turn to see
what his fate was going to be. You may not
have gotten the result you wanted, but he did get justice.
And the fact that the other three are still alive
remains for the fact that he left that car. And

(01:11:36):
you're the gun enthusiast, I'm not, but with a glock
with an extended magazine, dropped that gun, picked it up again.
So the officer and other officers are aware, we have
a terrible weapon in the hand and you have no idea.
And I'm really glad that the DA Pillage said that.
Putting yourself in that officer's mind, the adrenaline, I just

(01:11:56):
cannot imagine, never having been in hand to hand combat
my self. What that what those moments are like?

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Yeah, that that's where reasonable use of deadly force comes in.
Not all deadly force is reasonable. It's circumstance driven. Do
you have in the in the in the mind of
what they used to call reasonable man standard, reasonable person standard?
Is it justifiable to use a deadly force under the
circumstances that you were facing at that time, would a

(01:12:22):
reasonable first in fear for their life or the lives
of those around them to justify the use of deadly force?
Was there eminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm or eminent
apprehension of death? And her answer is yes, looking at
all of the evidence, it was justifiable to use deadly
force because it was reasonable under the circumstances. That's the

(01:12:45):
analysis you go through, and that's the analysis a jury
would go through as well if it went in front
of a jury, And that's what they're going to be
dealing with when they file their civil case. So but
you know, under the circumstances like stolen vehicle, kid comes
out with extended mag glock, I mean, I'd be freaked
out right there, you know. So yeah, that's the conclusion.

(01:13:08):
She reached no reason to send it to the grand
jury because it was reasonable in her mind. Ergo, no
crime was committed. There's no reason to prosecute under the
factual circumstances presented, And that is certainly the prosecutor's discretion.
That is prosecutorial discretion. Is it not prosecutors do not
always prosecute every single instance of a potential crime. Get

(01:13:33):
pulled over by a police officer, it's their discretion to
give you a ticket or not. They don't have to
give it to you, even if they clocked you going
eighty five and a sixty five. Slow it down, man.
So there you have it. Appreciate the call, Mike, certainly
do looking forward to seeing your listener lunch. Yes, the
FBI did reveal ledged Chinese plot. FBI Director Cash Metel

(01:13:56):
hand in Congress and Intelligence report yesterday about concerns over
China mass produce fraudulent American driver's licenses. Ask your underage
teenager about that, because you can get a driver's license
manufactured in China which looks pretty darn real, and apparently
the Chinese Communists Party made a whole bunch of them
and shipped them here into the United States. Cash Betel
handed the information over the Senate Judiciary Community Chairman Chuck Grassley,

(01:14:20):
who'd raised concerns to the FBI that the intelligence had
not been fully vetted, even though he believed there was
evidence of fake licenses being used. Pattel, in a statement,
thanks to the oversight work of the partnership of Chairman Grassley,
the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the People's Bureau.
To that end, we have we have located documents Chairman

(01:14:41):
Grassley requested, which detail alarming allegations related to the twenty
twenty US election. Specifically, these include, among other things, include
allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacturer fake driver's
licenses and ship them into the United States with a
purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail in ballots, allegations which, while substantiated,

(01:15:05):
were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public. Obviously
referring to the Biden administration, he said Cordack Grassley's request
of immediately declassified the material and turned the documents over
to the Chairman for further review. How about that? Going
back to Maureen's point, six fifty six fifty five K

(01:15:27):
see the talk station Jack Allen in after the top
of their news. I sure hope you can stick around
for that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
At the top of the hour.

Speaker 8 (01:15:36):
We're moving very quickly.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
Fifty five KRC the talk station. This report is sponsored
by Rep.

Speaker 9 (01:15:43):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
This is not fun.

Speaker 11 (01:15:45):
The biggest new development in the war to keep it
run from getting nuclear weapons, as President Trump's call for
unconditional surrender and his warning now that with a route
Ron perhaps days away from nuclear capacity, our military may
actively help Israel destroy the enormous enrichment site deep in

(01:16:08):
a mountain at four doh because Israel doesn't have the
bunker busting bombs and B two bombers to do it themselves.
That's alarming a lot of people, as we've heard on
your show so far this morning, including America First MAGA supporters.
They're asking why a president who's trying to cut deals

(01:16:28):
with the rest of the Middle East is so dead
set on defanging Iran with military force, maybe at the
cost of American lives. True, everybody would concede. Iran since
nineteen seventy nine has been calling to us. The Great
Satan holds rallies chanting death to America. Its proxies attack

(01:16:48):
American interests and even kill US service personnel. But don't
all Middle East Muslims hate America. Isn't jihad, which means
the fight against infidels, a key tenet of Islam.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
No, let me say that again.

Speaker 11 (01:17:07):
I think history shows the answer is no, especially now
in twenty twenty five, it runs murderers. Perhaps suicidal theocracy
is an outlier and one that must be reigned in,
if not overthrown by whom and with what authorization? Those
are other questions. Should America be directly involved without Congress

(01:17:31):
declaring war or at least authorizing force under the nineteen
seventy three War Powers Resolution. It's an act, but they
call it the resolution. You began discussing that, and you'll
be talking about it, I'm sure with Judd Nepaul Azano,
who knows so much more than I do. May I
just tease the fact that ever since President George Washington

(01:17:54):
made war on Native Americans in the Northwest Territory here
in Ohio without Congress declaring war, that question has been
hotly debated. Also the fact that we've had no declaration
of war anywhere since World War II, including Korea and Vietnam.
Not to mention that the controversial nineteen seventy three resolution

(01:18:17):
or Act requires consultation, as you said, not an initial
vote in Congress. But putting all that aside for the moment, Brian,
what about Iran? Is it just another Islamic nation or
does Iran now pose a different kind of threat. Let's
look at the history as we always do. Two thousand

(01:18:40):
years after Moses, six hundred years after Christ, both of
whom are revered by Muslims as prophets. Their own prophet,
Mohammad preached religious toleration, though late in life he did
become a military leader. After Muhammad's death, in one of
history's most incredible campaigns, Muslims conquered North Africa, then the

(01:19:03):
Iberian Peninsula, and Islam then would have spread throughout Europe
had it not been turned back in France. Still Islamic Moors,
they held on to Spain and under Moorish rural Iberia
for centuries, flourished as a mecca for learning, the arts
and religious toleration. Muslims and Jews lived harmoniously until Ferdinand

(01:19:28):
and Isabella. In the same year they launched Columbus fourteen
ninety two, they conquered the Moors and ignited the Spanish Inquisition. Yes,
it was real, not just Monty Python that forced Muslims
and Jews to convert, or be exiled or be burned
at the stake. Beyond Spain. For two hundred years before

(01:19:52):
the Inquisition, Christians and Muslims had fought a series of
crusades for control of the Holy Land. Yet those these
eight different wars were the exceptions in history. A beautiful
German play about the third Crusade called Nathan the Wise,
showed how a Muslim sultan, a Christian knight, and a

(01:20:13):
Jewish merchant bridged their religious divide. Now it's true, folks,
some Muslim fanatics have arisen over the centuries. In Victorian times,
for instance, a leader in Sudan who claimed to be
the Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah, declared a militant Muslim state.
Jumping to our own time, twenty fourteen, a radical group ISIS,

(01:20:39):
the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, proclaimed a radical
caliphate under the leadership of Abu Bakar al Baghdadi until
President Trump, within months of taking office the first time,
defeated ISIS and killed Baghdadi. But what about the Muslim
state we're all focused on right now, the Islamic Republic

(01:21:01):
of Iran had did jihadists militant jihadists take power there?
It all goes back to nineteen fifty three, when America
and Great Britain supported a coup against an elected Iranian
prime minister who was accused of being a communist and
threatening Western interests meaning oil, that may or may not

(01:21:25):
have been justified. We can't debate that coup now, but
the upshot was that Eisenhower and his administration made a
us ally of the Shah, a king, and Democrats have
been apologizing for that ever since. So in nineteen seventy nine,
President Carter through his support behind an exiled Iranian cleric,

(01:21:47):
the Iyatola Holmany. Carter called Homeny a saint. That predecessor
of the current Iyatola Hamani had been living outside Paris
until Ramian College students, just as stupid and shortsighted as
today as Americans, student radicals helped overthrow the Shah. With

(01:22:09):
Jimmy Carter's blessing, Homani turned Iran into a militant, intolerant theocracy.
He seized sixty six US hostages and held them for
four hundred and forty four days until the day Ronald
Reagan succeeded Carter. Because the Iatola feared Reagan as he
never feared Jimmy and Brian. It's not just in Iran

(01:22:31):
that Democrats supported radical Islamists Barak Hussein Obama, as a
child attended an Islamic school in Indonesia, the home of
his stepfather. Obama later joined a Christian church in Chicago,
but a church with a pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, preached
that an Obama took office in two thousand and nine,

(01:22:52):
he not only apologized for America having supported the Shah
in Iran during the so called Arabs that year, Obama
refused support for one million Iranian protesters risking their lives
in the streets to overthrow the Ayatola. Instead, this is

(01:23:15):
hard to believe even now. Instead, Obama backed the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt, with our president cheering on those radicals
overthrew another US ally, President Hosny Mobarik. Why well, Mabarak's
predecessor and War Saddad, who really was a saint, had

(01:23:40):
made peace with Israel. For that Saddad was assassinated. Egypt
under Mabarak maintained the peace, and the Muslim Brotherhood wanted
none of that. After seizing power, they became as oppressive
and jihadist as the Mullahs in Iran until thank Heaven.
Against Obama's wishes, the Egyptian people themselves rose up against

(01:24:06):
their new Jahadist regime and restored Mabarik to power. He
was far from perfect Brian, but Mabarik remained a US ally.
He kept the peace with Israel, and his successor, President Alcesi,
today remains a US ally. Even more remarkable, Donald Trump,

(01:24:27):
in his first term did not just wipe out ices
that would have been enough and strengthened ties to Israel
by recognizing Jerusalem as its capital. Trump changed the entire
course of history in the Middle East by brokering the
Abraham Accords. These trade and development agreements bypassed the intransigent Palestinians,

(01:24:49):
who for decades have refused all peace proposals, including a remarkable,
remarkably generous proposal that was made under the Clinton administration.
Your supporters in America remind us every day the Palestinians
want Israel wiped out from the river to the sea.
So Trump said enough of this, and he dealt directly

(01:25:12):
with Israel's Muslim neighbors, showing them what peace could mean
for the region and the entire world. However, during the
criminally corrupt and inept Biden presidency, the Palestinians again seized
headlines with the hideous October seventh, twenty twenty three rapes, massacres,

(01:25:33):
and hostage taking, which continues. Amas terrorists running Gaza got
their funding from Iran. Iran could afford to fund Ramas
because the Biden administration lifted Trump's sanctions and raised the
price of Iran's oil by declaring war on US oil
and gas. Sky high inflationary world oil prices also paid

(01:25:58):
for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. So, my friends, to sum up,
Islam over the centuries has wavered between tolerance and militancy,
as did Christianity, especially during the Reformation with its wars
between Catholics and Protestants. But today the Middle East is

(01:26:19):
changing thanks to new leadership and thanks to Donald Trump. However,
the locus of religious intolerance and terror is jahadiest Iran.
That's why President Trump is right. Iran under the Iatolas
can never have nuclear weapons. Still, Trump is leading the
door open, or he has been until now, perhaps to

(01:26:41):
a peace deal that could preserve Iran's theocracy. If that's
what the Iranian people want, I hope they won't, Brian.
I pray that Iranians, the great Persian people, will rebel
the way Egyptians did against the Muslim brotherhood under Obama
Americans did two hundred and fifty years ago, and that

(01:27:03):
they will return to a peaceful, pluralistic future, no modis,
no kalus, no iatolus, instead an Iranian governments that lets
us all live in peace.

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
What do you saying? What a wonderful summation of thousands
of years of reality there, Jack, I just have to
applaud you, and you know the big question that pops
up in my mind? And maybe you have an answer
to this? What was with Obama and the Biden administration's

(01:27:37):
appeasement and what one could argue outright support for these
fundamentalist radicals? To what end did it benefit anyone in
the globe? Why were they interested in in what amounts
to support for that nonsense? Yeah? Is it hatred for America?

(01:27:57):
I'm just left puzzling. Is it part of the mean?
One could argue, based upon his upbringing, that perhaps Obama
is a fundamentalist Muslim and saw eye to eye with
this jihadist radicalism. He never out loud said anything like that,
but certainly his conducts seemed to demonstrate it. But to
what end? Jack?

Speaker 11 (01:28:18):
I think the answer to everything you've said is yes,
and perhaps something more, with America's working base, which, as
we've discussed many times, used to be the base of
the Democratic Party moving to the Republicans, because the Republicans
are making sure that jobs won't continue to be shipped overseas,

(01:28:39):
primarily to China, that those jobs instead will be returned
to America, so that we have a growing middle class
of all races, ethnicities, sexes, and orientations, the only thing
that we can possibly rely on to keep the country going.

Speaker 8 (01:28:53):
Along with of course closed borders.

Speaker 11 (01:28:55):
With the Democrats having lost that base, they have to
go to to radical bunch of people, many of whom
have billions of dollars. We've talked about that too, Steve Jobs,
Widow and all the rest, and that has turned them
into a far left party, more far left then most
of the leftist parties in Europe, in Britain, I mean,

(01:29:18):
America itself now is really an outlier like Iran Democrats
at this point, remember what they're focused on. At this point,
Brian is giving somebody a nomination and of course taking
Congress in twenty twenty six, which they may be able
to do if we can't get our act together. We've
talked about that many times, and we'll move on for
the moment. But first the Democrat candidates, the wannabes, have

(01:29:43):
to get that nomination and they have to outdo each
other in being leftist, radical, America hating all the rest.
When I say America hating, they would say, no, we
don't hate America, we just want to change it. The
thing a lot of lives say when they first get married,
I love you, I just want to change you. Yeah,
but what makes America America is you will always discuss

(01:30:03):
with Judge Neapolitano and will again at a twenty five
so that we have a constitution which recognizes the god
given rights of individuals and recognizes also prerogatives for the states,
and prescribes to some extent. It's somewhat vague how we
can project our force overseas. All of this is being

(01:30:26):
hotly debated, and I don't have any clear answer to that.
But again an answer to everything you said, yes, Barack
Obama was a special case. I mean, he is a
very mixed up man. Dreams of his father, who was,
you know, an anti American radical from Kenya, dreams of
his stepfather from Indonesia, and whatever he learned at that school,

(01:30:46):
which may have been a Wahabist school that's not entirely clear,
meaning a very radical jihadist school. Dreams from Frank Marshall Davis,
the Communist American leader.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
I was waiting for that to come in. Yeah, Mark
why Oh.

Speaker 11 (01:31:01):
And Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayrris and all the rest.
I mean, now I'm sounding like Sean Hannitby with the
whole list.

Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
Yeah, but there's a multitude of them. But you know,
it's weird that so many these these multi multi billionaires,
the Soros of the world, the Gates, that they are
so anti American leftists, when that's exactly where their wealth
came from. Without the America's freedom and might and ability
and opportunity, they would just be regular run of the
mill working class, from each according to disability, to each

(01:31:29):
according to his need, kind of stiffs in the Marxist
Marxist world that they so desired. It's just it's crazy
to me.

Speaker 6 (01:31:35):
Jack.

Speaker 11 (01:31:37):
One thing that people might want to go back and
listen to your podcasts that I have a podcast stage
too with a Big Picture with Jack Atherton thanks to
Joe Strecker. Yeah, is the one where we talk about
universities and how they came to be so Marxist and
they had been a breathing ground for a lot of
this as well. There are a number of factors, but
what's clear is that the Democratic Party is not to

(01:32:00):
be trusted.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Amen, jack Aden and brilliant as always. I wish we
could at seven thirty fifty five carscy De Talk Station
a very happy Wednesday to one hour from now Judge
Annapolitano on the Trump, the war and the Constitution the meantime,
Welcome back to the fifty five Caarasity Morning Show. It's
also a players to have Ken cob or FOP President
for the CINCINNT Police Department, on to talk about matters

(01:32:22):
relating to the police. Ken, welcome back. It's good to
have you on this morning.

Speaker 8 (01:32:26):
Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
Local development in the eighteen year old Ryan Hinton who
was shot after fleeing a stolen vehicle with a firearm
in his hand. Hamilin County Prosecutor County Pillage said yesterday
it was justified and I know the Clinton family or
Hinton family rathers does not agree with that, but prosecutorial
discretion apparently she looked at all the evidence and said, yeah,

(01:32:49):
it was reasonable for him to fire on Hinton because
he was carrying a firearm and was waving it around
at him. Your response to this, I presume you were
pleased with the outcome, without a doubt.

Speaker 8 (01:33:00):
I mean, this was something that we fully expected was coming.
I wish it would have been sooner. But I also
understand that, you know, Prosecutor Pillach is new at her job,
and you know, I'm glad that she took the time
to look at all the evidence and came to the
same conclusion. I think everybody else was going to.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
Well, she had things to like attend to protest over
the weekend, so you know, you got to give her
some time to get her politics out. You're not touching that.
Not a good looks certainly not a good look anyway.
So this, obviously the my understanding is the officer is
back on the job. Never been named, and I was

(01:33:35):
pleased that they didn't name him because we all know
in this modern world, with doc seeing and attacks on
members of you know, elected officials and others, that this
officer certainly could have faced a lot of that. So
the officer is back at work, is that correct, that's correct.
I talked to the officer.

Speaker 8 (01:33:54):
Probably three times this week about some of these things
that are going on. Back to work doing well. I
think this is probably going to be a step in
the right direction to be able to kind of be
able to move on with the rest of their career
in life.

Speaker 1 (01:34:08):
And this kind of thing. I suppose it's impossible for
anyone who has not been involved in a situation where
their life is in jeopardy, where someone is standing who
obviously is at least at least by all evidence, appears
to have been engaged in criminal conduct. To start, they
were in a stolen vehicle and they were fleeing the

(01:34:30):
law enforcement officers who and you correct me if I'm wrong,
we're ordering them to stop, halt, don't run away. The
adrenaline flow, the rush and all of that. This use
of deadly force is judged by a reasonableness standard. Is
a person in that position reasonably justified in using deadly

(01:34:50):
force given what they're facing? And you know, I guess
this is one of the dangers of being in law enforcement.
Not only are you faced with this in a high
a percentage of circumstances, I mean, you guys got to
have to worry about this all day long. But when
public outcry and the whole era of defund the police
and the police are a bunch of races. Kind of
a mindset that somebody have out there, You kind of

(01:35:12):
have that going through your head too. I imagine you
like a hesitance that may result in you losing your
own life.

Speaker 8 (01:35:20):
Sure, you know you hit the nail on the head.
It's it's what a reasonable officer would do at that time.
It's not there's nothing that says that, you know, this
person has to have shot at you, has to have done,
you know, pointed a gun at you, all these things,
even though in this case it was clear that's what happened.
People get caught up in that well he was shot
in the back. Well he wasn't shot in the back.

(01:35:40):
But there's nothing that says that a policeman can't shoot
somebody in the back. You know, the law is very
very clear. It's what a reasonable person would do in
that situation. I think any reasonable person if they have
somebody that's running towards them with a gun and points
it at them as they're running by, that is an
absolutely reasonable response is to protect excuse me, to.

Speaker 1 (01:35:59):
Protect particularly a couple, since there were police officers there
too for the purposes of arresting them because they were
in a stolen vehicle. I mean they you know, you
can project onto what they might be thinking, the criminals,
the the the the the people who stole the car.
Oh my god, the police are there. I'm going to
get into trouble and the reaction may be I'm gonna

(01:36:22):
shoot at him, I'm gonna defend myself, I'm gonna try
to get away. I mean, that's all factored into the
whole mix of emotions that you must use a split
second in order to make a determination. It's it's overwhelming,
and I wish more people would contemplate that, well, you're The.

Speaker 8 (01:36:37):
Reality is that the people that are saying that this
isn't justified are the same people that take absolutely no
accountability for anything, no accountability for their actions for anybody
Else's because they're all saying, well, yeah, he was in
a stolen car, and yeah he had a gun, but
and there is no butt. When you run around with
the police with a gun, you should expect that you're

(01:36:59):
going to be shot. It's really that simple.

Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
It's that simple. FLP president can cover hold you over.
We'll talk a couple more minutes after. I make a
quick word or two for my friends at Cover. Since
he who are going to be your friends too, you
reach out to Cover since he with no obligation, No
money is paid, no money's exchanged. Let them look at
where you are in terms of medical insurance and even
dental and vision and come up with a better way.
They're working for you, not in the insurance companies. They

(01:37:23):
work with insurance companies and thousands of different policies under
hundreds of different insurance companies. So they're shopping around to
find the best possible package of insurance for you, and
by doing so they can save you heap loads of money.
And my neighbors Tommy and Nancy took early retirement. They
were on Cobra paying through the nose. He saved them
I think more than five hundred dollars a month. Regularly

(01:37:46):
mentioned my friend Jeff, small business owner. Illustration small businesses,
You know your employees may not even want medical insurance because,
oh my god, I can't afford nine thousand dollars out
of pocket. How about getting better employee retention by providing
them with insurance they can actually afford Cover since he
looks at each person individually, whether they have family and
spousal covered, and that kind of thing. So all of

(01:38:07):
this is tailored to you, the person, and then you
get the benefits of them all throughout the period of
time you're insured through Cover Sincey, because they'll handle claims
issues with you. Because everybody runs into a claim saying
why did I get a bill? I thought I wasn't
supposed to get bill for this. You don't call the
insurance company and spend hours on the phone. You call
cover SINCEY. Let them iron it out for you. John

Seven thirty nine fifty five KRCIT talk station Brian Thomas
with fo KEY President Ken Kober talking about the officer
involved shooting. Ryan Hinton no longer with us, of course,
his father and ended up going in going after a
sheriff's deputy ran him over and killed him. Completely different
scenario though, but Hemilon County prosecutor Countie Pillage said no,
he is cleared of any wrongdoing. He was appropriate in

(01:40:11):
his use of deadly force, so there will be no
nothing going to the grand jury. Are the hint And
family obviously not real thrilled about this? They lawyered up
and they're threatening a civil lawsuit. Check me if I'm wrong, though,
can Kober? Under the current state of the law, officers
are immune from liability in connection with damages or injury
incurred while they were doing their job. Coupled with the

(01:40:33):
prosecutor's recommendation that no crime had been committed, here sounds
to me like they're in a pretty damn shaky ground.
Your reaction to the idea of a civil lawsuit, who
would they go after?

Speaker 8 (01:40:43):
Well, that's the million dollar question is who are you
going to go after? You know, the officer was deemed
by the prosecutor to have acted reasonably. He didn'tviolated any
policies or procedures, so underqualified immunity. When an officer acts
reasonably and they follow the law, they're immune from any liability.
I don't. Maybe they're going to sue the city and
hope that the city settles them. Settles like they do

(01:41:03):
with just about everything else.

Speaker 1 (01:41:05):
Well, that will be a shame, be almost an admission
of liability by the city that they shouldn't. They should
fight that. That's what our taxpayer dollars are there for.
It was reported in I guess Fox nineteen's Mary Labas
reported and it doesn't matter where the information came home.
But apparently in addition to announcing this possible loss, that
the lawyer said that he has access to information that,

(01:41:27):
in his words, has not been made public regarding the
officers who are at the scene of the shooting that day.
Didn't go into any detail about what that information is.
I don't suppose you have any concept or idea what
they're talking about. But if there were other officers there
who were not involved in the shooting, what difference does
it make what they have regarding those officers.

Speaker 8 (01:41:49):
Yeah, well, it's funny because if he had this information
that's secret, why would they have not turned it over
to the prosecutor's office for them to examine.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
Ooh, good point.

Speaker 8 (01:41:57):
So, yeah, I don't buy any that smoke mirrors that
they're trying to put out to the public now.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
Since the Jenna public unrest over the whole thing, which
I suppose may very well happen in these shaky times
in which we live, so update on police morale, it
looked like the city council was planning on doing what
I believe you were calling for, is getting some lateral
hires in to deal with the waxing numbers of or

(01:42:25):
waning numbers of police officers on the cincint Police Force
last time we talked. I mean, it's kind of frightening
how few officers are actually out on patrol given the
current contingent.

Speaker 8 (01:42:36):
Yeah, I mean, just lateral class that the city's apparently
going to pass in their budget is certainly a step
in the right direction, you know, but this is something
that's likely going to have to be done every year,
coupled with our traditional academy to be able to get
our numbers back to where they need to be.

Speaker 1 (01:42:51):
I saw that they were doing three academies over the
next several years at fifty at fifty per academy. But
given the attrition rate that you brought up here in
the morning show, that's going to kind of probably keep
you at static levels unless they do get a sufficient
number of lateral classes exactly.

Speaker 8 (01:43:08):
And you know, in these lateral classes are officers that
are already trained. They're experienced officers that you can do
an abbreviate academy and then be able to come in
and be able to make a meaningful impact, you know,
the first day they get out there, because they're they're
not new, they are experienced officers. And it's something that
that's what we're going to have to do if they're
going to if they're really serious about getting us back

(01:43:29):
to what our compliment is, the only way to do
that is to have multiple classes in the same year.
Otherwise we're not going to get back to our numbers.
We're just going to keep falling.

Speaker 1 (01:43:38):
Well, and I mentioned this this anti police sentiment that
was all the rage there a few years ago. You
got the impression that everybody in every neighborhood hated the
police department. What do you hear from your officers who
are out on patrol. Do they feel as though they
have community support for their presence?

Speaker 8 (01:43:56):
I think by and large you had the community that
wants the police there, you really do. You got the
vocal minority that doesn't matter what the police are going
to do, they're going to hate them. They're going to
say they did the wrong thing. But when you go
to these communities and you see, you know, the average
working class person that's in these communities, they want the

(01:44:16):
police there. They know the police are there to make
them safer so they can live in their community. But
like I said, it's it's a vocal minority that want
to stand up and criticize the police. We're always going
to have that, but when you get into these actual
communities that the support is there, well, you.

Speaker 1 (01:44:32):
Know, and I and much in the same way, I
criticize CINCINNTI Council and the mayor for not more actively
supporting the Cincinnati Police Department in law enforcement generally speaking.
And it's not that they're against them, of course, they're
voting for dollars for new classes, they're voting for lateral hires.
That suggests some support, but not a whole lot of
people paying attention to line items and budgets, but there's

(01:44:53):
sort of silence on the whole out loud regular support
of the police department really kind of irks me. And
I think, you know, since police given where morale is,
at least from where I'm led it's led to believe
it is. They could certainly use that type of active engagement.
I would like to think that, you know, these communities
out there would rebel against the anti police sentiment and
would more out loud express support for the police. Now

(01:45:15):
that you're hearing it and feeling that when patrolling these
communities is a wonderful thing. And I'm glad to know
that those who are are who reject the police or
think they're bad are the minority out there. But you know,
out loud support is a completely different element, and I
think that would go a long way to helping the
ININCINNT police accomplish its job and patrolling and keeping our
streets safe.

Speaker 8 (01:45:36):
No hit, you hit the nail on the head. You
know you can, you can walk, you know, out out
in the community and have somebody shake your hand and
say listen, not everybody feels a way that you're hearing
on social media whatever. Out you know, they shake your
hand and say, we support the police, but you're right.
The other part of that is having city leaders standing
up earth and outwardly saying look, we support the police,
we support what they're doing and that's that means probably

(01:46:00):
just as much, if not more than it does hearing
it from so many community.

Speaker 1 (01:46:04):
Yeah, how about a tweet or some social media posts
from council members of the mayor talking about exactly that
they've got elevated to a level of attention. Plus it
will be widely reported because again the silence it seems
to be deafening. FOP President Ken Cober, God bless you
and the work that you and the since Police Department do.
I appreciate you coming in the morning show and sharing
your thoughts and comments on these events as they unfold.

negotiations as early as twenty thirty five about the need
for a new NFL stadium. Okay, anyhow, turning to Chicago
and moving away from really everything we've been talking about

(01:49:33):
this morning, that this is rather interesting. Mayor Brandon Johnson
in Chicago voicing concerns on Monday about potential federal TRUTH
deployment to his city. Potential that's an operative word in
that sentence, because Trump has not yet deployed the National
Guard anywhere in Chicago. He's anticipating it, though, because there's
a sanctuary city, and of course Donald Trump has said

(01:49:55):
they're going to be sending in ICE to sanctuary city
sanctuary cities who will not assist ICE in doing its job,
but much must, by virtue of federal law, allow ICE
into its neighborhoods to do their job enforcing federal law.
He was speaking of a new conference responding reports of

(01:50:15):
these federal plans to escalate ICE enforcement there, calling the
idea a threat to civil liberties and local governance. It's
not impacting your local governance. It's just their day of
doing the federally required job, mister Johnson, he said, it's
just another example of his animus towards working people. Now
pause and comment on that one for a moment. Working

(01:50:38):
Chicagoans who took to the street and protested the embrace
of illegal immigrants taking over their communities and using up
scarce taxpayer dollars to fund their housing and to fund
their schooling and to provide them with free meals and
stuff and things. Sanctuary City is animus towards working people.
Working operative word that means suggest anyway paying taxes, he said.

(01:51:06):
I think it's important that the president respects the Constitution. Well,
you too. That's the federal law we're talking about in
terms of immigration enforcement. It's also getting dangerous criminal elements
off the street, which local prosecutors should be very interested
in doing. And if they're not interested in doing that,
we're talking federal law here, so federal workers, ICE agents

(01:51:27):
specifically will be going in and doing that job. He said.
If you're asking me whether this president will work with
city leaders, it's clear he's not interested in doing that
what about city leaders working with a federal government. You've
prioritized illegal immigrants over your own people. He went on

(01:51:49):
to say, we will continue to resist, whether it's in
the courts, in the streets, or through public policy. We're
going to stand up for working people. And again I
find his arguments, given the circumstances and situations in Chicago

(01:52:09):
as well as these other sanctuary cities, a little bit
difficult to swallow or even understand. And what will happen
if they resist in the streets like they did in
Los Angeles, picking up chunks of concrete and throwing it

(01:52:31):
at ICE agents, destroying federal property. That's when Trump may
very well send the National Guard in. Why not to
enforce local laws, not to enforce the laws of the
state of Illinois, but to protect federal workers and property.

(01:52:52):
That's the point of bringing them into Los Angeles, and
it would be the point of bringing them in Chicago.
So Mayor don't tell people to take to the streets
and attack ICE agents. Tell people to resist ICE agents
and get in the way of them doing their job.
Then you won't have to worry about the National Card
being brought in. Problem solved seven fifty fifty five krs

back to the morning show.

Speaker 8 (01:54:07):
Brian.

Speaker 15 (01:54:07):
Always enjoy joining you and love the KARC listeners. And
every time Joe message me, hey can you come on?

Speaker 1 (01:54:15):
I'm there man, I'm glad. I'm glad you're there, and
I'm glad you're following this because this is this is crazy.
You know, most of my listeners probably agree, as do
most people that understand. The Cincinnati lease agreement recorded as
one of the worst, if not the worst, in the
entire world of football professional football. And so the lease

(01:54:35):
is set to expire. And my understanding is if they
don't work out terms for an ongoing lease agreement, regardless
of how long the terms is, and I guess that's
one of the things they have to discuss. How long
will the terms be for the new lease agreement? The
Bengals can just extend the terms of the current agreement
into your increments. Have I got that part right anyway?

Speaker 13 (01:54:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:54:59):
Yeah, they could extend it in two year increments up
to ten years, so five there's a lot of numbers
going there, but five two year extensions. So yeah, essentially,
so this current lease could go up to ten more years.
I don't think that there's I'm not getting any sensors,

(01:55:21):
any any any indication, and that's what's on the table,
and I do I do since potentially a two year extension,
the first of what could be five two year extensions
could be on the table, but I don't know some
of the some of the things that are you know,
kind of coming out of the county and some of

(01:55:43):
the public records that the Inquirer obtained I seem to
indicate that, you know, certainly there is an effort on
both sides to get something done beyond just extending this
current lease.

Speaker 1 (01:55:56):
Well, theoretically, I guess right now they haven't come up
with an agreement on a new lease. Of course, the
county officials hopefully are trying to argue for better terms
of conditions than we've gotten under the current lease. I'm
sure the Bengals are scrapping and fighting for a bunch
of stuff that they want. So that's where the negotiations
are going on. If if they're not done by the deadline,

(01:56:19):
which is June thirtieth, for a new lease, and the
Bengals exercise their right to extend the current one, is
it still a possibility they could continue working on a
new agreement during that two year period and sort of
put that in place while that extension is on.

Speaker 4 (01:56:37):
Oh yeah, they can.

Speaker 15 (01:56:39):
They can continue to do that at any time. Okay,
this is as far as I understand it. I'm just
talking to people that you know, they can at any
point beyond really at anytime now, Like you know, it's
really not much different than where you would be at
now that you could then be working on an extension

(01:57:00):
beyond that extension. So you know, you mentioned the top
top there, you know, sticking point. It's just something that's
kind of gotten buried a little bit in the news
or just even in the discussion about about the stadium lease.
Is you know, so many people, we all want to
know the money, the money, the money, how much money,

(01:57:21):
well almost equally is important because it is you know,
the money's involved.

Speaker 1 (01:57:27):
Is the amount of years.

Speaker 15 (01:57:29):
And so is it ten years, is it fifteen years,
is it twenty years, is it even more? And you know,
and then how much money in that ten year period
are you going to willing to give? Like if that
makes sense in that like you're not going to pay
eight So there's eight hundred and thirty million dollars worth
of whatever upgrades and bells and whistles that they say

(01:57:50):
or I hate the thing needed to be done to
that stadium. But you know, are you if you're not
going to spend eight hundred and thirty million, if they're
only going to do it ten year extension, but you
might if they're going to do it twenty. And so
that's where the years and the money all come together there,
and so people don't talk a lot about the years,

(01:58:11):
but the years are very important here.

Speaker 1 (01:58:13):
Excellent point. Well, and I saw one of the reports
from the inquiry the parties will in good faith commenced
negotiations as early as twenty thirty five. That's ten years
about the need for a new NFL stadium. And I
must choked when I read those words out loud. I'm think,
oh my god, we're going to go through this again
another ten years. We're going to knock down pay Corps

(01:58:34):
and build a brand new it'll be what ten billion
dollar facility at that point. I mean, I scratch my
head over that concept, Jason, I really do. I just
I struggle with public dollars paying for sports stadiums in
the first instance, but the idea of that place would
be actually considered obsolete in ten years. I mean, there's
nothing wrong with it right now.

Speaker 15 (01:58:55):
Ay Man, everything you just said, Brother Brian, I am
one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (01:58:59):
With you on this, and you know, I got to
be honest with you.

Speaker 15 (01:59:03):
I'm a little surprised that there hasn't been more of
a push or more talk from the Bengals side anyway
of a new stadium this time around, because you have
seen that in Nashville with the Tennessee Titans. You know
that there's a great example there of I mean that
that's a stadium that I think it opened to just

(01:59:23):
a year ahead of Paycorp stadiums to sort of out
of that same generation of stadiums. And they're building a
new stadium there in Nashville two billion dollars, I believe,
And so I'm a little surprised that, especially with an
eight hundred and thirty million dollars price tag, that there
wasn't more of a push from the Bengals, even from

(01:59:46):
I don't know Bengals supporters or that you know chatter
anyway about oh, you know, why don't they just build
a new stadium. Frankly, if that would have been the case,
would have been highly critical of it and highly critical
of the state inner a thirty million which is what

(02:00:07):
over double what the original cost of the stadium costs
to build. So yeah, that doesn't surprise me that in
ten years there would be talk of wanting to build
a new stadium. And so then there you if you
factor that in Brian, that also is like, you know,
you're gonna pump one eight hundred and thirty million dollars

(02:00:29):
into this stadium for the next ten years, only to
turn around in ten years and be chattering or talking
about looking at building a new stadium. I find that
hard to believe. I find it more as an either
or kind of thing. And it's the the you know,
you know, put band aids on things and fix some

(02:00:50):
of the you know, the leaky faucets and all that
over the next ten years, and then you look at
a new stadium. But I cannot see spend an eight
inner and thirty million dollars do whatever to this stadium
and then turn around in ten years and say, oh, well,
let's go to the new stadium. That's just that's just
flat out it's already physically irresponsible as it is, and

(02:01:10):
that's just flat out ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (02:01:12):
Well, unless you can declare something functionally obsolete, there's no
argument in favor of a new stadium. And I don't
think anybody can call Payhorse Stadium functionally obsolete. You know,
if it's if they maintained it in its current status.
Fix the pipes, you know, fix the concrete, whatever needs
to be maintained. It'll still operate as a sports stadium.
You can play football in ten years from now, twenty

(02:01:33):
years from now. So anyhow, we're not we're not in disagreement,
and we're at least in a court on that concept.
And for a while they were talking about it, and
I'm sure this lease agreement has to contemplate whether any
money is going to come from the Ohio state taxpayers.
It looked like the peers as though the Cleveland Browns
got six hundred million, there was some widely circulated comments
about maybe we would get three hundred and fifty million,

(02:01:55):
or at least they asked for three hundred or three
hundred and fifty million from the state. Is there any
update on that, whether that even remains a possibility. I
think since the budget's been done at least I thought
it was done in Columbus, that it's not under the
rama consideration this.

Speaker 4 (02:02:08):
Year, not this year.

Speaker 15 (02:02:11):
I certainly think the state will give the Bengals money,
and that that's the debate now, is what pot will
that come from or potentially come from. I know Senator
Bill Blessing, is you know, plush for there to be
a legislation that Hamilton County could do a cigarette tax.
I've got my opinions on that. I think even though

(02:02:32):
that's I guess could be considered a user fee. If
you look in Cleveland, then I would encourage listeners to
do that, do a little research on what they call
the syntax in Cleveland. That's on alcohol and tobacco in
Cuyahoga County, and that helps pay for the Guardians, the Browns,
and the Cavs, stadiums and arena and all. At the

(02:02:54):
end of the day, that all just generates thirteen million
dollars a year. And I think just that's of course
a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (02:02:59):
But may if you think.

Speaker 15 (02:03:01):
About here, this will just be I believe the say
a cigarette tax, and they don't have another state up
there where people can go. There's a bigger population, and
so you're looking at you would just put this tax
in and it's not going to really move the needle,
and so you get another tax. I don't care who
that tax is on. I'm of the mind that there

(02:03:21):
should be no more, no absolutely no more, no matter
where it comes from. Hamilton County tax levee on Hamilton
County tax payers.

Speaker 13 (02:03:30):
Well not the state once good.

Speaker 1 (02:03:32):
No, I just gonna say, you know, sin is in
the eye of the beholder. And I don't know why
we always, you know, we heap the burden of paying
for a lot of things on certain products. It's like,
as soon as a new product comes on the market,
like vaping, that's immediately deemed something that's worthy of an
additional tax just because it's new. But then again, gee,
how about I walk over to northern Kentucky and buy

(02:03:54):
my smokes there, you know?

Speaker 5 (02:03:56):
Duh?

Speaker 15 (02:03:57):
Well, I mean, yeah, I think, you know, I mean
there's a lot. I just at the end of the day,
I don't think it would be worth it, and.

Speaker 8 (02:04:05):
I just it.

Speaker 15 (02:04:07):
Look, the bigger picture of that too, is that it
would be yet another viewed it's kind of another sort
of bailout for the Bengals. Yeah, and uh, at some point,
like you got to get the burden off the Hamilton
County taxpayer. And I don't care. Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 8 (02:04:23):
I'm not a.

Speaker 15 (02:04:23):
Smoker, do you know, smokeless tobacco or anything like so
I wouldn't be paying that tax, but I don't care,
Like in terms of just getting the burden off of
off of the county, off of Hamilton County, that Hamilton
County has carried its more, way, way, way more than
its fair share on this stadium with an ongoing sales tax,

(02:04:44):
and there should absolutely be no more sales tax, any
kind of tax put on the citizens, the voters, the
taxpayers of Hamilton County. And now if they want to,
if they want, they're exploring, you know, taxing sports betting
across the state and then using some of that to
help with arenas and stadiums and cities across the Ohio.

Speaker 9 (02:05:06):
You know.

Speaker 15 (02:05:08):
That that's one Like, if that's the state wide tax
on on sports gaming that goes to things that are
across the state, I'm I'm I'm a lot with you, Brian,
Like I'm of the mind, like I don't I think
we already spend way too much money tax money on
stadiums and arenas. It's just way out of whack and
it's way out of proportion. But if that's something that

(02:05:30):
is going to continue to happen, you've got to look
at revenue streams like that, and they're looking at what
the unclaimed property or unclaimed money pot of money as
a potential like okay, but then again, you know there's
all these arguments, like you know, we could go down
the yeah, the basic the you know, the basic route

(02:05:51):
of I mean how many how many roads and highways
and bridges.

Speaker 4 (02:05:55):
Do we drive on?

Speaker 15 (02:05:56):
There's potholes, and there's bridges that are usually mentioned functionally
obsolete speaking of and how many bridges in the state
in this area alone or functionally obsolete? Yeah, if you're
looking at that pot of money of unclaimed money in
the state, which is what three billion dollars or something, well,
why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you look at doing it
on like things that you know, actually really helped the
general citizen ry, or.

Speaker 1 (02:06:17):
Property tax relief. I don't know if you got the word, Jason,
property tax have gone through the roof. I mean, there's
always there's a pot of money, and there's a million
people who want to get their hands in the cookie jar.
And this takes us always back to this is a
privately owned sports franchise. That is, last time I checked,
they are profitable, aren't they? Jason? Does the Bengals make
money for the Bengal family? I mean the Brown family.

Speaker 15 (02:06:40):
Hey, look, Brian. When this sales tax was passed in
ninety six the mid nineties, the Bengals were valued by
four just short of two hundred million dollars. They're now
valued at four billion dollars. Okays a matter of thirty years,
how much the valueuation of that franchise has gone up. Well,

(02:07:03):
that that's the significant, significant jump. And then certainly a big,
a big, a significant chunk of that money. And what
the money that the franchise has made has been off
of the stadium deal. And so don't don't No one
should be fooled by the fact. Yes, the NFL is
the Golden Goose, it's it's crazy popular, it is a

(02:07:24):
money printing machine. It's going to continue to be a
money printing machine. The TV revenue is just insane. So, yes,
there's a lot of money that's come from the NFL
on football side of this, but there's no doubt about
that a chunk of that money has come also from
the good tax payers of Hamilton County.

Speaker 1 (02:07:45):
Well, in this this agreement that we're currently operating on,
is the reason that that property or that that sales
tax is still in place. We were promised sales tax
relief a long time ago. Is part of the reason
that we voted for it, and yet it remains, and
the reason it remains because all the obligations we as
the Hamilon Kenny taxpayers have under the terms of conditions
of the current lease agreement, which sucks.

Speaker 13 (02:08:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (02:08:09):
No, I mean we were promised a property tax rollback
every single year of this deal and it's I don't
know how many. I don't have it in front of me.
But what was the last time when Alisha Revee first
came into office? So I think the last was at
twenty twenty two, Maybe we got one and I don't

(02:08:30):
think we've had one twenty twenty one, but I don't
think we've had one since, right, And I haven't heard
any buzz whether that's going to happen again. I could
be wrong on that, and it's happened. I knew it
got a lot of news back when Alisha Revee made
a big deal out of it, because it hadn't happened
for a long time, and that was when all the
COVID money was coming in and the county was kind

(02:08:52):
of flushed with money, and there was talk of from
the administration side that no, we're not going to give
a prep property tax roll back on this and a
Lisha Resee really led the way on getting on getting
that property tax rollback. And I haven't heard anything about
it since, so it may have happened, it just hasn't

(02:09:12):
gotten a headlines or anything. But you that's something that
should be happening.

Speaker 8 (02:09:17):
That was a promise.

Speaker 15 (02:09:18):
Now, it wasn't a it wasn't an iron clad promise,
legal legal promise, but yeah, that was a promise made
by the politicians at the time, and you know, I
think it should be followed through on a very at
the at the very least.

Speaker 1 (02:09:35):
Well tea leaf reading. I'm going with the Bengals exercise
or extension because the terms of conditions they have now
are wonderful. They're not wanting to put in any more
than one hundred and twenty million that they offered up front,
and they won a lot of improvements to the ten
of one hundred and eighty three million, one hundred and
thirty million, which I suppose under the current conditions they're
entitled to, which seems crazy. Oh, Jase, I know you're

(02:09:55):
going to follow this close to Jason Williams, Thank you
so much for spending time with my listeners mean day
on this topic. I'll look forward to having you back
on the program again real soon, hopefully with some good news.

Speaker 15 (02:10:05):
Hey, Brian, you and I both love talking about this.
I'm always happy to join you anytime and chat it up.
And it's as we say in the media world, the
stadium thing is the gift that keeps on giving.

Speaker 1 (02:10:18):
It is provides for good copies. Since Cincinnati dot Com
you'll find Jason what he writes about take care of
my Friend. It's eight twenty two, fifty five care City
Talk Station judgment Topolitano coming up.

Speaker 3 (02:10:30):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (02:10:34):
Our are you heard radio music Festival.

Speaker 8 (02:10:39):
Here?

Speaker 1 (02:10:39):
It is your Channel I one first morning weather forecast.
It's gonna be mostly cloudy day and very human. They're saying,
got isolated storms between noon and five, severe storms between
six pm and midnight. Today's high eighty six Overnight mostly
cloudy skys. You could see a few showers that will
drop the sixty nine degrees a little more cooler tomorrow
with the high of eighty degrees. Not as humid as

(02:10:59):
well well, but still some isolated showers of storms of
possibility over Thursday night, clear skies for the most part,
sixty four for the low Friday a partly flotty day,
and the heat rolls in. We'll go up to eighty
seven and look at it nineties over the weekend through Monday,
seventy four degrees. Right now, time for a traffic update,
Chuck Ingram, No, we're not going to do that. Why

(02:11:20):
because Judge edit a Politano isn't there. Joe sent him
the link. We've got the column. He even responded to
Joe's email with the link. So normally I'm looking at
him on zoom and sadly enough, Judge and Polaitano not there. Anyway,
I can still tell you what he wanted to talk about.
Trump war in the Constitution, So in the absence of
the Polatano, I can give you an advance reading of

(02:11:42):
the column. As the United States become a president Trump
recently condemned, Can the president fight any war he wishes?
Can Congress fund any war it chooses? Are their constitutional
and legal requirements that must be met before war is waged?
These questions should be central to debate over the US
involvement in Ukraine, Gaza, in Iran. Sadly, there has been
no great debate mainstream media or mouthing what CIA is

(02:12:06):
telling them, and only a few websites and podcasts are
challenging the government's reckless, immoral, and illegal, unconstitutional wars. And
I talked about this all morning. Here's the backstory. All
power in the federal government comes from the Constitution and
from no other source. Congress is restrained by the Constitution
and by treaties to which the US is a party.

(02:12:28):
Congress cannot legally declare a war on Russia, Gaza, or
Iran since there are no militarily grounded reasons for doing so.
Russia poses no threat to American national security, persons or property,
nor do Gaza or Iran. Moreover, US is no treaty
with Ukraine or Israel that triggers an American military obligation.

(02:12:49):
Under the Constitution, only Congress can declare war on a
nation or group. Last time it did so was to
initiate America's involvement in World War Two. The Congress has
given away a limited authority to presidents and permitted them
to fight undeclared wars, such as the War Power Resolution
of nineteen seventy three. In President George W. Bush's invasion

(02:13:10):
of Afghanistan in Iraq, which were done under an authorization
for use of military force. Congress has not only not
declared war on Russia or Gaza or Iran, and it
has not authorized use of American forces in those countries.
Yet it has given the President a blank check and
authorized him to spend it on military equipment for Ukraine

(02:13:30):
and Israel. However it sees fit. President Donald Trump came
into the office promising to end America's forever wars. Instead,
the United States continues to fund a war his predecessors
entered into a Ukraine, the goal of which was to
eliminate Russian troops from Ukraine and Crimea and Russian President
Vladimir Putin from office. None of these objectives is realistically obtainable.

(02:13:52):
In Gaza, the Israeli goal has been to remove by
death or force all Palestinians from their ancestral land. That goal,
which is morally reprehensible militarily unfeasible, has produced more than
fifty five thousand civilian deaths, none of this to the
benefit of the United States. In Iran, the President lulled
the Iranians in believing that the United States was seriously
negotiating with them, while the US intelligence assets planned and

(02:14:14):
helped execute the Israeli attack on Tehran last week, some
of which murdered the negotiators. Does Iran, which US and
intelligence Israeli intelligence have concluded has no nuclear weapons, as
Israel does the slightest threat to the US national security
the judge right, it does not. We don't know how

(02:14:35):
many American intelligence officers are in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, but
we know that they are there. This is something I've
talked about with Daniel Davis before. During Trump's first term
in office, the CIA built twenty facilities for its officers
and agents across the Ukraine. We also know that they're
involved in hostilities. Since much of the US hardware used
against Russia and Gaza in defense of and in defense

(02:14:56):
of Israel requires American know how to operate and maintain.
Are American intelligence officers killing Russian soldiers, gods of civilians
and Iranian officials? The White House prefers not to answer.
Yet none of this has been authorized by Congress. Now
back to the Constitution. The War Powers Resolution, which requires
presidential notification to Congress of the use of American military force,

(02:15:20):
is unconstitutional because it consists of Congress giving away one
of its core functions declaring war. The Supreme Court is
characterized that delegating away of core functions as a volative
of the separation of powers and thus unconstitutional. However, I
got to chime in, there has never been a Supreme
Court case specifically involving the War Powers Resolution doing that,

(02:15:42):
although you can certainly draw these lines from the other
cases to the same conclusion. That's my words back to
neapolitanum or over. The statute only applies to the military,
does not constrain and require reporting the use of intelligence
personnel to fight wars. Nevertheless, Trump has not informed Congress
of his intentions to use American troops violently. Yet he

(02:16:04):
has used the Navy, the Air Force, and the CIA
to attack civilians and gaymen at war crime, and he
has soldiers out of uniform in Ukraine so as to
perpetuate the Biden era deception that American boots are not
there on the ground. Don't be surprised if Trump gives
War Powers Act notice a secretly to the Gang of Eight.

(02:16:26):
Here's a subset of the problem, folks. That's the Congress.
Within the Congress, consisting of the chairs and ranking members
of the House and Intelligence committees, and the Republican and
Democrat leaders of the House and Senate with which the
president legally shares secrets. Just as Congress cannot delegate away
it's war making powers to the president, it can't delegate
him to the Gang of Eight. Oh there he is,

(02:16:51):
Joseph Paulitano.

Speaker 8 (02:16:52):
Are you there?

Speaker 1 (02:16:55):
His image is frozen. The Gang of Eight is anti
antithetical to the government values informing them of whether or
whatever violence the president is up to is done under
oath of secrecy. What kind of democracy operates and kills
in secret? Are you there, your honor?

Speaker 8 (02:17:14):
Yes, I am.

Speaker 16 (02:17:15):
My apologies the internet issues. I kept getting kicked out
by somebody in Cincinnati, not you or a streker doesn't.

Speaker 1 (02:17:25):
And he froze up again. Oh and again, I'm back,
now there is This is crazy. We didn't even run
the Ingram report this morning since you weren't there, so
we would be it would seem out of place if
he introduces you and you didn't show up and respond,

(02:17:47):
so we'll blame the Internet.

Speaker 16 (02:17:49):
I was doing my best to show up, and from
what I was hearing, it sounds like you were reading or.

Speaker 1 (02:17:54):
Paraphrasing complications arise again. I was, if you can hear me,
I was, in fact reading your column. I think we
were going to dress it on the fly. During our communications,
I got through everything except the last basically two paragraphs,
Your honor.

Speaker 13 (02:18:13):
Yeah, well, you know.

Speaker 16 (02:18:16):
It's a fascinating issue. Can the president start a war
on his own? The short answer is no. The long
answer is the list time Congress declared war was December eighth,
nineteen forty one. We have fought about thirty six wars
since then, none of which had been authorized by Congress,
all of which had been paid by Congress. Congress is

(02:18:37):
the culprit here.

Speaker 8 (02:18:38):
It will get damn it.

Speaker 1 (02:18:46):
We're plagued with problems here there we are.

Speaker 16 (02:18:49):
Yeah, my apologies. I can call you on the phone,
or we can give up the ghost until next week.
After I get about thirty words out of my mouth,
I get a sign saying reload.

Speaker 1 (02:19:00):
I'll tell you what. Since we are pretty much out
of our regularly scheduled time, and I got another guest
after you, we'll just we can revisit this topic next week.
It's an extremely important one. And I was really anxious
to hear your comments about the War Powers resolution because
although you are right, the Constitution does not allow giving
away core functions or delegating them. I don't know that

(02:19:21):
that has ever been specifically challenged in court the War
Powers resolution.

Speaker 16 (02:19:26):
It is not And there's only two members of Congress
who understand this, Rand Paul and Thomas Messy.

Speaker 1 (02:19:33):
Well, perhaps someday they will visit that. And I think
you and I know what the logical outcome is given
Supreme Court precedent that it is unconstitutional. Well, Judgement Palaton,
I obviously missed our segment today. We will hit the
ground running next Tuesday, and I'll wish you the happiest
and best of weeks.

Speaker 16 (02:19:48):
Maybe yes, Trekker will let me out of.

Speaker 5 (02:19:52):
It.

a consequence of combat and being in a war. But

(02:20:14):
anyone out there who's struggling with trauma, it's got a
great book to talk about with Michael McNamara that'll be.

Speaker 7 (02:20:19):

fifty five KRCE Morning Show. Michael McNamara. He has initially

(02:20:41):
a degree in economics University of San Francisco, but he
enlisted in the US Marine Corps back in eighty three,
left active duty in ninety four, but then returned to
the Corps in two thousand and four and deployee Iraq
twice in Afghanistan once. Is an infantry soldier, retiring from
the Marine Corps in twenty fifteen. Founder and president of
the Post Traumatic Winning Company LLC, hosted a podcast All

(02:21:03):
Marine Radio since twenty sixteen and began presenting the ideas
connected with his first book, From Trauma to Joy, which
we're here to talk about in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (02:21:14):
Michael McNamara. Welcome to the fifty five KARISEE Morning Show.
The name of the book, From Trauma to Joy, Life
changing lessons that fellow US Marines taught me after traumatic
events occurred in my life, lessons that apply to anyone.
Emphasis on that last part. It's a pleasure to have
you on the program, Michael.

Speaker 5 (02:21:30):
Well, first of all, as the son of a former
manager of the Cincinnati Reds and a guy who worked
on Johnson's party boats in the summer during college, tender bar,
I am happy to be.

Speaker 4 (02:21:43):
Back on the air.

Speaker 5 (02:21:44):
Well, I've never been on the air of the Queen City,
but now it's a pleasure. Brian, thank you very much
for having me. I was going to bring that up
after your bio. I was going to say, also, you
know John McNamara, don't you, the guy that took over
after Sparky Anderson left the Cincinnati Reds, and of course
on that one the party boat too. That's that brings
back memories anyway, Oh my god, you don't even know.

Speaker 1 (02:22:06):
Oh, I can only imagine. I can only imagine. It's
like being a fly on the wall. I suppose being
in that role.

Speaker 5 (02:22:15):
Oh my god, tornado warnings while you're on the river
and there's a party going on. Uhredible, incredible stories.

Speaker 15 (02:22:23):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:22:24):
I bet well you maybe write your second book on that,
But this book I think it's really important. Mental health
has become something that we can all talk about. There's
no longer, at least, there's very little you know, negative
viewpoints or like, you know, get over it kind of attitudes.
These days. We know a lot of people deal with
mental health challenges. But you mentioned trauma. It's entitled the

(02:22:45):
book From Trauma to Joy and point out that approximately
ninety five percent of the US population deals with some
form of trauma. We could be talking about something as
traumatic as losing a loved one for example, right, Well,
and that's what you know.

Speaker 5 (02:23:01):
You know, that's why I don't really care for the
term PTSD because if when you throw that out there,
everybody says, oh, that's that combat thing, right right, or
that's the thing cops in firefighter.

Speaker 1 (02:23:11):
No, no, no, it's an everybody thing.

Speaker 5 (02:23:12):
If you had to tend to somebody who you loved
and hold their hand and watch them die of a
lengthy illness, you're in the same valley of the shadow
of death that I'm in. We just took different paths
to get there. If you've been abused as a child physically, sexually, emotionally, right,
and you've suffered with that your life, guess what you're

(02:23:33):
in that thing too. So the book is about you know,
that is not a death sentence, okay, And the first
place that you should look for an answer is not
in a jar pills, and it's not in forever therapy.

Speaker 1 (02:23:45):
It's inside of you.

Speaker 8 (02:23:47):
And I know this.

Speaker 5 (02:23:48):
And again I'm not a Brian, I'm not a mental
health person. I've been a leader since I was.

Speaker 4 (02:23:52):
A little kid.

Speaker 5 (02:23:53):
And so I started talking about this on my podcast
and then the way the book begins is with a
presentationation I started doing around the world, and that is
I'm going to tell you the truth, true things about
what it is to live a great life after you
go through really difficult things, right, And I don't care
what the difficulty was. And so the great thing that

(02:24:15):
people don't understand about you know, as a marine, is
that our suicide is not linked to combat. It is
linked to child abuse. It is linked to child sexual
abuse and adverse childhood experiences. Because when we went to
the volunteer force, right, we're not so much across section
of America anymore. I would tell you about fifty percent

(02:24:39):
of the people that join the American military right are
trying to get to a better place their peers are
in jail, their dead of drug overdoses or suicide. But
they come from that part of our culture and they're
looking for something better and sometimes they don't find it.
And so you can't understand veteran suicide or military suicide

(02:25:01):
unless you understand.

Speaker 9 (02:25:02):
Who we recruit.

Speaker 5 (02:25:03):
And then what I found out when I started doing
seminarts for everybody was that there was no difference between
what you know, active duty investors talked about as opposed
to the civilians that I met. It was all it
was based on the traumatic events of their life. And
so this stuff applies to anybody. And that's the beautiful
part of it.

Speaker 1 (02:25:23):
Now, I imagine the outline and the steps and the
principles that you set forth in the book have to
start with. I suppose a pretty tremendous amount of introspection,
trying to be an objective observer of your life and
where you are and why you're experiencing this trauma.

Speaker 5 (02:25:45):
Yeah, And I'll tell you what, and that's not hard
for most people, because most people, when you go through
these things, you know, I saw somebody get decapitated in
a training incident, a helicopter crash in nineteen ninety three,
and you know, we were trying to save the three
other guys in the back.

Speaker 1 (02:26:01):
And I have my hands, you know, all over this one.

Speaker 5 (02:26:04):
Young marine and everybody dies, right, And one of my
senior marines came up to me. I was a commanding officer,
but he's one of my senior and listen, guys come
up to me and asked me. About three hours later,
he goes, hey, Suri, He said, how are you doing?
And I said, I don't know. We've been kind of busy.
And he looked at me and he said, you know
you're never going to get over this, right, And I
said what he said?

Speaker 1 (02:26:24):
You'll never get over this?

Speaker 5 (02:26:26):
And I can't use the language I use, but I said, hey,
why don't you get away from me? I don't think
that's what the therapist says to the patient right now,
you can go away. And he looked at me and said, no.

Speaker 1 (02:26:37):
You need to know that.

Speaker 5 (02:26:39):
And I said, who told you that? And he said,
Vietnam guys told me that. And I tell everybody. The
single best piece of advice ever got, although I didn't
understand at the time, was that because when I struggled,
guess whose voice I heard A guy who would who
would have died for me, who looked me in the
face and told me the truth. And once you understand,
you don't get over it that when you struggle, you

(02:27:01):
know what that makes you a normal human being. You
can't go through those experiences without those ghosts coming back.
And the question becomes what do I do when they
come back? Because they will. And now the way the
nation approaches it is we'll give you medications and you
can go to Forever Talk therapy. If you look at

(02:27:21):
the trend lines of that, the nation set a suicide
record what twelve months ago, and the military is setting
suicide records and we're nowhere near a conflict. But that
is our approach to helping these people. And what I
tell people is before you do any of that, read
my book because if you understand, the first thing you're
going to have to do is coexist with it, because

(02:27:43):
it's not going away. The next thing you're going to
have to do is live with some self discipline. When
you struggle, Guess what you should do, not isolate yourself,
not go get drunk.

Speaker 1 (02:27:52):
Right, and which is what marines do.

Speaker 5 (02:27:54):
Right, You should talk to somebody who loves you and
will not judge you and you should stay away from
alcohol and you can do that. Next, stay physically active.
So if you'll do those things, watch how quick your
life changes. Then you got to learn how to meditate.
We merns, We don't like that word. I call it
calming your brain down. You got to learn how to
do some version of that. You got to learn how
to read when you feel anxious or you feel anger,

(02:28:17):
and how to interrupt that cycle. And these little wellness things.
The people that damage your life, you got to put
them at arm's length and keep them there and then
all of a sudden your life calms down. But the
transformational part of this whole thing, Brian, and the beautiful
thing that I learned is you know how many people
around you were struggling. You're going to find this path
out of the valley of the shadow of death, and

(02:28:37):
your life's going to get better. And then you're going
to stick your hand into their darkness and say, hey man,
I know what you're going to You got a minute?
Could I talk to you? And you you'll do that
if you'll help them. At some point, one of them
is going to pick up the phone and call you
and say, hey man, you remember that conversation we had
two months ago. Yeah, you don't know this, but I

(02:28:57):
was getting ready to kill myself that much.

Speaker 1 (02:28:59):
Oh my word.

Speaker 5 (02:29:00):
And when And I'm not saying that hypothetically because we
all know people around us that are struggling. And good
luck sleeping that night, because you will experience the joy
part of this. I call it the grinch moment, when
the Grinch's heart grows through tons when he here's the
who people singing, right, It's that feeling, and that is
what we do with our suffering. We give it meaning.

(02:29:21):
How do we do that? We learn about it, we
learn how to live our we've learned how to become
a better version of ourselves, and then we help others.
And if you'll do that, I guarantee you that you
can transform your life.

Speaker 1 (02:29:35):
Well, I would imagine the conversation serves a multitude of
reasons why it's beneficial. But in so far as saying,
I'm reflecting upon the horror you that you witness and
the idea that your commander said, you're never going to
get over it. That you will remember that incident and
it may trouble you and you may want to blame yourself,

(02:29:55):
but if you deflect your attention away from that and
go back to that sort of concept of meditation, living
in the moment, not going back and retracing old events
over which you have no control, but thinking about something
different and getting your mind away from it. That in
and of itself has to be beneficial.

Speaker 5 (02:30:15):
Well yeah, but I would tell you the big thing
is sometimes you can't control that smells trigger the video
in your head, right yeah, and you're and now you're
you're watching the video and there's no off button and
there's no mute button. And so what you have to
learn is that's normal. That's normal.

Speaker 1 (02:30:33):
And for me, my combat.

Speaker 5 (02:30:35):
Experiences were not the worst experiences of my life.

Speaker 9 (02:30:37):
Right.

Speaker 5 (02:30:38):
My sister's husband murdered her two kids when she told
him she wanted her divorce.

Speaker 1 (02:30:43):
Oh my god, years old and four years old.

Speaker 5 (02:30:45):
Shot him both in the head, right, and then beat.

Speaker 1 (02:30:48):
Her and put the gun in his mouth and killed himself.

Speaker 5 (02:30:50):
Oh so even when I went to combat, even when
I went to combat, And it's important that people hear
that from somebody who spent three years in Iraq and
Afghanistan as an infantry officer, all during the heights of
the fighting. I'm not in that zip code, and there's
people listening to you that were sexually abused as children,
that have had this horrible things happening. They're in my
systems zip code, not in mine. And it's very humbling

(02:31:13):
for a cop or a firefighter to hear me speak
and I look at them and I say, you're not
in that zip code, and you know that. So you
don't have the market cornered on trauma. And so what
I want you to do is open your mind and
learn that there's nothing wrong with you when you struggle
and then it's okay. And the video some days are
going to last longer than it's going to last others.
But if you'll learn how to do these things, what

(02:31:35):
you're gonna do is you're gonna learn how.

Speaker 1 (02:31:36):
To coexist with it.

Speaker 5 (02:31:37):
And that's really the art with your trauma, to understand
there's nothing wrong with you, to understand that you're going
to coexist with it. I mean World War two, that's
once you one hundred years old, ask them about what
they did and they'll tell you in slow motion, high
definition what they did. So it's not like this stuff
leaves you. And that's so it's developing wisdom relative to
this stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:31:58):
