Speaker 1 (00:07):
Fack o five fifty five k r c B talk
station Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Some say will.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
A vacation problem and that's the way the news go.
Indeed it does. Bryan Tima is right here, back from
a day off. I'm struggling with the old chemo and
problems associated with Thank you, damn Carol, if you're out there,
God bless you, sirf for covering for me yesterday. I
understand it did a good job, although I was sound
asleep pretty much slept all day total, just out of

(00:49):
its zone. So let me give it a rip this morning,
give it a shot. Your help would be is appreciated.
Five one three, seven hundred two to three talk pound
five fifty on eight and t phone needed help arrives
at seven o five. The Big Picture with Jack Adan
it is Wednesday, meaning we get to hear from Jack
add in today's topic, a history of meritocracy, followed by

(01:11):
Donald and Neil from Americans for Prosperity. Government funding deadline
coming up. On January thirtieth, I saw the Congress unveiled
at one point two trillion dollars spending bill, and of
course the leftists are all screaming about funding for ice.
See what you want about ice. They are bringing about
results in so far as rounding up gang members. I

(01:31):
saw the Department of Homeland Security announced it's seven thousand
gang members got arrested last calendar year. That's a good thing,
isn't it? Isn't it? Go ahead and protest the gang
members being arrested nationwide walkout yesterday. No, I was not
involved with the nationwide walkout. Did anybody quit their job

(01:52):
yesterday or walk out of their job at two o'clock
to protest Trump's like first full year back in office,
You can get a bunch of people to participate in
pretty much anything. Did it do any good? Anyway? Donald
on the government funding and running out January thirtieth and
question mark energy reform. Judge Nnenapolotan in the American police

(02:14):
state has arrived. He says a little upset about, well,
the Constitution, how it was written, what it's designed to protect,
and the way it has been treated of late. So
I do definitely want to go into a conversation with
him about the free exercise of religion. You know, we
had these protesters go into a Minneapolis church. Inside the church,

(02:35):
I think Don Lemon was part of that whoever he
is anywhere. Let's see here. I do believe that's private property.
We have the free exercise of religion, which was being impeded.
We do have the freedom of assembly. I just kind
of wonder how this all shakes out. Can you just

(02:56):
walk into a religious building where they're conducting religious services
and starts spouting off and screaming at people and disrupting
people's free exercise of religion, asking for a friend. We'll
go over that with Judge Jennenapolatano, follow by Steven Ierback,
Doctor Stephen Irback. He's running for Congress District one. We
hear from him at detail end of the program at

(03:18):
eight forty five. So again, feel free to give me
a call if you've got something to say. I'd love
to hear it. And I'm gonna dive right into an
op ed piece which sums up the state of the
reality kind of given a sageza Eterna. Not quite sure where,
but I found it over on zero head. If you
go over to zero Hedge, it's a pretty reliable news site.

(03:38):
You cannot deny the reality of what this man discusses
talking about NGOs. And here I have a corollary article
which puts a little uh you know, a connection with it.
Here the new the Labor Department filings that have been
released just the other day. National Education Association the NEA,

(03:58):
which is the nation's large teachers union, has been giving
away millions of your tax payer dollars to far left
political outlets, you know, TIDES foundation kind of stuff, and
it's all far left organizations. Says that it's the exposure

(04:23):
aligns with a broader pattern of leftist infiltration in education,
and of course they have and they are revides a
little you know, just here's one more NGO non governmental organization.
These these TIDES foundation types of organizations out in the
world getting tax payer dollars from you and I to
undermine us. So over the op at piece architecture of

(04:47):
plunder why the modern Democratic Party is a kleptocracy, and
it is in a luxual kind of polite political discourse,
we are told that kleptocracy is a phenomenon reserve for
the decaying regimes of the Third world. But an a
republic where dictators and gold braided epilets stuff suitcases with
casts while other people starve. This is a comforting fiction.

(05:08):
It allows American mind to believe that corruption is something
that happens over there, in places without marble capitals or
Ivy League economists. But this definition is archaic, fails to
capture the sophistication of the modern predator's state. A true
kleptocracy in the twenty first century does not require a
dictator with a Swiss Bank account. It requires a bureaucracy

(05:31):
with a grant making authority. It does not steal with
a gun, It steals with regulations. Modern Democrat Party is
not merely a political coalition. It is a syndicalist engine
of wealth extraction. It's of all beyond the crude graft
of Tammany Hall, where votes were bought with turkeys and beer,
into a highly complex NGO industrial complex that launders public

(05:57):
treasury funds in a private political power. They are not governing,
They are looting, and they've built a moral fortress around
their theft, so that to question the robbery is to
be branded a heretic thika. Chucky Schumer talking about undoing
all of the Doge cutches cuts. By way of background,

(06:18):
the modern coleptocrat does not break the law. He rights
the law to make his theft mandatory. To understand this,
we must strip away of a year of public service
and look at the mechanics of the machine. We must
observe how the managerial elite has perfected a system where
the decline of American middle class is not an accident
of history, but the direct mathematical result of their enrichment. First,

(06:46):
the nonprofit industrial complex, the laundromat, he calls it, the
genius of the democratic cliptocracy, allies in its ability to
make the taxpayer fund their own political subjugation. In a
traditional bribery scheme, a corporation gives money to a politician
for a favor. This is illegal and risky. The modern
democrat machine is professionalized this by inserting a middleman, the

(07:08):
non governmental organization NGO. Consider the flow of money. The
federal government, under democratic stewardship, allocates billions in grants to
quote community organizations or quote activist groups and nonprofits, ostensibly
for public welfare, voter education, green initiatives, or social justice programs.

(07:31):
These entities are staffed almost exclusively by partisan operatives. The
funds stripped of their public designation because they wanted. The
NGOs are then used to build voter rolls organized protests
and push radical policy agendas that benefit the party that
wrote the check. There's a closed loop of money laundering. Laundering.

(07:51):
You pay the taxes the bureaucrats you did not elect,
send that money to an activist group you do not support.
That activist group uses your money to campaign for the bureaucrats. Boss.
Sounds like City of Cincinnati a little bit, doesn't it.
This is why the left fiercely defends the blooded administrative state.
Is not because they love efficiency. It's because the bureaucracy

(08:12):
is their bank. Every new agency created is a new
revenue stream for their client class. The Teachers' Union Full
and the are the archetype of this model. They compel
dues from members, follow those dues almost exclusively to Democrat campaigns,
and in return, the party ensures the unions maintain monopoly

(08:32):
on education, free from the competition of school choice. Its
protection racket disguised as a labor movement. The quote Ford
and Aid close quote Grift operates on the same frequency
when billions are sent overseas to nebulous democracy building initiatives.
We must ask who are the contractors, who are the consultants,

(08:56):
who sits on the board of NGOs administering this aid invariable,
we find that children's siblings and donors of the party elites,
they are not exporting democracy, they're importing kickbacks. If part one,
that foregoing part about the laundromat is about stealing tax money,
part two it is about stealing market share, classic definition

(09:18):
of fascism at the merger of state and corporate power.
The modern Democrat Party has achieved this synthesis under a
banner of saving the planet and equity. Primary rep weapon
here is the regulatory squeeze. When the government mandates green
energy transitions or environmental social government scores, They're not saving

(09:39):
the polar bears, They're destroying small and medium sized competitors
who cannot afford compliance, while subsidizing the massive conglomerates that can.
Look at the Green New Deal infrastructure some mechanism to
transfer wealth from the productive energy sector oil gas, nuclear,
industrial industries that actually power civilization to these speculatives of

(10:00):
green sector industries that exist only because of government subsidies.
Who owns the solar startups and wind farms, the same
donor class that dines in Martha's vineyard. They use power
of the state to crush cheap, reliable energy, forcing working
class to pay higher prices, which effectively funnels wealth from
the poor who pay for the energy, to the rich

(10:23):
to collect the subsidies. This is why they despise the
free market. The free market is unpredictable. The cleptor crack
hates unpredictability. They want guaranteed returns. By using the regulatory
agencies to pick winners and losers, they ensure that their
portfolios outperform the s and p by margins that would
make a hedge fund manager blush when the Speaker of

(10:45):
the House can trade stocks and industries she regulates and
beat the market with supernatural consistently. See we're not looking
at public service, look at in insider trading legalized by
the very people committing it. Concept of stakeholder capital is
the final nail on the coffin of free enterprise. It points,
or posits rather that corporations are not responsible to shareholders,

(11:08):
but to stakeholders, a nebulous term that effectively means political activists.
It allows the party to extort corporations, adopt our cultural agenda,
hire our consultants, donate odd to our causes, or face
the wrath of the regulatory state. It's a shakedown, pure
and simple. Over to Part three. The most cunning trick

(11:30):
of the modern kleptocrat is to use is the use
of woke ideology is a distraction whether looting the treasury
and rigging the economy. They needs smoke screen to keep
the populace fighting each other rather than looking at the
bank vault. Identity politics is that smoke screen. By obsessively
focusing on race, gender, and sexuality, the democrat elite creates

(11:52):
a permanent state of cultural warfare. It servest strategic purposes. First,
it fragments the working class. That's preventing unified coalition that
might challenge their economic dominance. If the white mechanic and
the black truck driver at each other's throats over privilege,
they will not notice that the private equity firm has

(12:12):
bought their houses and the government has devalued their wages. Second,
it provides a moral shield for their corruption. When you
accuse them of theft, they accuse you of bigotry. That
sound familiar to you. When you point out their policies
have decimated the inner city, they call you a racist.
They wrap their greed in a language of compassion, They're

(12:33):
not destroying the energy grid to enrich their donors. They're
doing it to save the climate. They're not censoring the
Internet to protect their narratives, They're doing it to stop
hate speech. This moral blackmails the hallmark of the Machiavelian ruler.
They claim the mantle of the oppressed while living like kings.

(12:54):
They lecture the populace on privilege from inside gated communities
funded by the very systems of inequality claim to fight.
The result is a hollowed out nation. The infrastructure crumbles
while billions are spent on consultants. The borders are erased
to import a dependent underclass that reinforces their political hegemony.
The currency is debased to pay for their patronage networks.

(13:19):
We are witnessing the iron law of oligarchy in its
final terminal phase. The Democrat Party is no longer a
party to people. It's a party the managers, the academics,
and the bureaucrats and the subsidized corporate elite. They've constructed
a system where they can be wrong about everything the economy,
foreign policy, crime in the border, and yet never lose
power and never lose money. To call them colectocrats, is

(13:45):
not an insult. It's a precise taxonomic classification. They've privatize
the state for their own benefit. They've turned the concept
of public good into a private revenue stream. The first
step in dismantling this machines to see it for what
it is. Do not listen to their moralizing, watch their hands,
watch where the money goes, and realize that the chaos,

(14:10):
the decline, and the division we see around us are
not accidents. They're the overhead costs of their business model.
I thought that was well done. Just shy a five
twenty fifty five KR see de Talk Stations stick around.
Got more to talk about w KRC since in that

(14:33):
five twenty three year fifty five car see Happy Wednesday
eighty two to three talk. I like fifty on H
and E T phones. Sorry I had to take off
work yesterday, missed out on some good discussions. Bright Bart
Inside scoop of Bradley Jay, the Daniel Davis deep Dive,
the War for Greenland. I'm still struggling over that one

(14:53):
and the aftermath. If you had an opportunity, Sarah, you
want about Gerard Baker. He's an opt a columnist Wall
Street Journal. A look back at the war that is
about to begin, and he sort of offers a I
don't want to say comical, because there's nothing really comical
about it, but it starts off with historians differ about

(15:14):
the real origins of World War three, and he does this.
You know, the US easily won the Battle of twenty
twenty six of Greenland, but the consequence has proved convulsive
for all. And he just talks about some of the
realities of US going after Greenland. Now we all know
what opinions are like, we've all got one, and he's
entitled to one. But a lot of food for thought

(15:36):
in this article. And how is it a good thing
NATO going to fall apart reciprocal sanctions, the impact of
the sanctions Donald Trump is placing on European Union countries
who are resisting this, the so called bazooka response from
the European Union NATO, what we have a NATO? And
this is all said and done, And then, of course

(15:58):
the odd reality of what he concluded with, which I thought,
I've been saying this for a long time. If you
think about what the future might have in store, and
you wonder about the geopolitical realities of everything, that's going on.
I step back, really, really far and kind of ponder this.

(16:20):
China will be handling Asia, East Asia, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines,
the European Union will go to the Russians all of
Western Europe, and of course in this hemisphere we'll get
the Americas, and that'll be the division of power in

(16:41):
the future. That's kind of what he says, a tripartite
character that replaced the American dominated global order with the
condominium of Russia, China and the US dominant in the
respective regions. Still will always have Greenland, he reflects back
on the future of the War of Greenland, which we

(17:04):
would win, but is it really to our strategic and
in our long term benefit considering the damage to the
relationships that it might cause. I don't know. New World order,
it's crazy five twenty six right now. If you have
k City talk station, phone calls are always preferred, but
I will get into the local stories if we don't
go with phone calls, be right back fifty five the

(17:25):
talk station Wednesday, and a happy one too. Next listener,
Lunch February fourth, rons Rous that's the place to be
ron Zerus February fourth, Hope hope see you there. I'm
really looking forward to getting back to Ronz Roust five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
to three taco with Ton five fifty on your AT

(17:45):
and T phones. Let's see what Tom's got this morning, town, Tom,
thanks for calling as always. Welcome back, my friend.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, welcome back to you. Glad you're back, and I
hope you're feeling better. It sounds like you're doing a
little better.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Uh, I am feeling a little better. I do still
have the brain fog, but it's not as pronounced as
it was on Monday.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Man.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I was I didn't even know what I was saying
on Monday, Bill, Like my wife said, Oh, you sounded fine,
Like I, I couldn't tell you what It just came
out of my mouth two seconds after it came out
of my mouth. That's how weird my brain was functioning.
So whatever it's, it's in the books. It's out there
somewhere for all to listen to, and I'm not going
to go back and listen to it.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's kind of it's kind of like one of those
long days after work and you get home and you
you realize I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
How I got home, Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I know I drove home, but you know, sometimes it's
just muscle reflex.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
So yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Anyway, and as usual, Dan did a did a fantastic
job filling in. And of course that's all because of
the great Joe Strucker.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Guts.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Enough yes, enough kudos out there. So your off at
that off edge you read this morning. Fantastic, That's what
I thought. That that is right in the wheelhouse of
what we've been talking about. That is the heart of
the matter. It's all about the money. And uh yeah uh.
People that are wondering, uh, you know, whether an organization
is helpful or not, look at the end result. So

(19:09):
you brought up the teachers union. Now, I would think
that most of us could agree that one of the
most underpaid group of people in this country are school teachers.
And you have you have a massive union, and you
have people are constantly out there screaming about you know,
how teachers are being you know, underpaid and all that.

(19:31):
And yet this this union takes these millions and billions
of dollars and donates it. Now, you know, the union
I'm in isn't a whole lot better. But you know that. Yeah,
the teachers union is the one you hear the most about. Well, teachers,
you wonder where's all your money going?

Speaker 1 (19:49):
What?

Speaker 3 (19:49):
You know, maybe you should start asking why are you
giving so much of my money away?

Speaker 5 (19:53):
What?

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Why aren't you letting me keep more of that money.
Why are you taking it out of my check or
or supporting politicians who take more out of my check?
What's going on here? The end result is what matters,
and the end result is they're stealing your money. And
you know, before I go any further, there are Republicans
and people who call themselves Republicans who are all in

(20:15):
favor of this whole process, so let's not leave them out.
But it is clearly a Democrat party thing where they
write all these rules and regulations and put bureaucracies in power.
And the sole purpose of this is to take more
of your money and give it to people who have
not earned it. That's what it all boils down to.

(20:38):
So when you when it comes time to think about
who you're going to vote for, pay attention to that.
That's probably the most important thing that government does to
affect you, and don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom, It's always a
pleasure hearing from you five one, three, seven, eight, two
to three talk pay fifty On AT and T phones,
you can dive over and get a local story or
two in Oh. Congratulations formerly the operative word leading it off.
Formerly Greater Cincinnati's second largest private business, Rilla Dine Incorporated

(21:11):
Relianine Incorporated has moved to Houston, Texas, effective January first.
They're described as a distributor of petroleum products. Previously based
in Kenwood, they announced that in December they'd be moving
their head offices to Texas. They say to be closer
to its largest employee, base key suppliers and international distribution operations. Okay,

(21:34):
four billion dollars in sales in twenty twenty four, four
thousand nationwide workers, and again number two on Deloitte Cincinnati
Top one hundred list, the list of the largest privately
held companies by revenue. They didn't say how many jobs
to be affected by moving to Texas. Joe, why do
you think they chose Texas? Do you think lower taxes?

(21:58):
You think that might have a better business environment, especially
given that they're in the petroleum business. I can't imagine
a better state for them to go and no longer
in Hamilton County. What if that had a factor I
had anything to do with it anyway, the creation of
a multiple mergers and ventures and acquisitions. Anyway, big company

(22:22):
no longer here at to the growing list of companies
that have relocated to Texas for I believe well my
listeners know are a long list of very clear reasons.
Five point thirty five fifty five KRCD Talk Station. Don't
imagine anything has to do with proximity the distributors, but
I'll let them go ahead and make that statement stick

(22:43):
around more to talk. Actually, stack is stupid coming up?
Why not? Or phot costs? Either way, I'd be right back.
Fifty five KARC dot com. This is doctor Jesse Mills
host Deep Talk Station. It is five forty fifty five
karasit Talk Station. All right, Tomas sign back and thank

(23:07):
you to Dan Carol for covering for me yesterday. Just
trying to clear out the chemo fog from my brain
and feel a little bit better about it today. So
once it clears out and then I'll have to go
through this again at the beginning of next month. Oh,
joy of joys. Anyway beats the alternative. Yeah, feel free
to give me a call. I remember fifty five cars
dot Comedy. Can't listen long? Get the podcast there. We're

(23:28):
gonna have some good ones on today The Big Picture
with Jack added in the history of meritocracy his subject
matter for today. Donald O'Neil on the government funding deadline
that's fast approaching into this month energy reform as well.
Judge Eddinapolitano. The American police state has arrived, says the judge.
And doctor Stephen Erback, who's running for Congress and District one.

(23:49):
We'll talk to doctor Erbak at A forty five anytime
you want to call and we'll talk to you too,
or I will talk to you here. Ah, what is
wrong with people? Legitimate question and let's let's hone in.
We're going to mace. Arizona police from multiple agencies had

(24:09):
to show up at a large fight which tapped into
sports complex and Mesa during a youth football event over
the weekend. Why are you doing that? Don't have any idea.
It's competitiveness, apparently, Joe. After one pm, officers showed up
to reports of a large fight of the Arizona Athletic
Grounds in Mesa. Masa Police said off duty officers reported

(24:32):
that one hundred people were fighting at one of the fields.
Because so many people involved, the officers requested backup from
multiple agencies and do emphasize that with good reason. Wait
to hear what someone had to say about it. In total,
thirty seven Mesa, twenty two Gilbert, eight Queen Creek officers,
so we have three different departments plus three Maricopa County

(24:55):
Sheriff's deputies had to show up at the scene. The
arith please see please said there was a youth tournament
and during one of the games, a fight broke out
between about ten players from each team, and then parents
and spectators got involved. After forty five minutes or roughly,

(25:16):
officer had cleared the fields. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and
nobody was arrested. Interestingly enough, one parent who witnessed the
fight said that it wasn't a rare occurrence, saying to
the reporter, it's not the first time. Most of the time,
it's usually just the parents to be honest with the
older kids, like my son is not in high school,

(25:37):
but the high school kids are the ones that usually
fight on the seven on seven tournaments. I don't know
what that means anyway. Another parent Andrew Platt, Oh, football,
thank you, Joe said. The competitive the competitiveness of sports,
our club sports is crazy out there. Parents are competitive,
children are competitive. To me, it was just a matter

(25:58):
of time before somebody got into an all intercation. That
was my first thought. Wow, it finally happened. What does
competitive have to do with beating the crap out of
each other over what children are doing on a playing field?

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Jeez.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Doctor Brooke Chulette, specialized specialists in sports psychiatry, had this
to say. I think over time parents are putting more
and more pressure on their kids. What is the ultimate
goal here? She asked? Are we doing this because we
love this sport, because we're trying to better ourselves as humans?
And we just have to go back to the why

(26:41):
good question? Why the hell are you there? All the
remaining games were canceled for the rest of the day,
of course they were, and one of the organizers of
the tournament, so the fight only involved a few people,
not one hundred, like police said. And that's the point
I went back to earlier. Why in God's name did

(27:04):
basically one hundred police officers have to show up? Thirty
seven MASAW officers, twenty two Gilbert officers, eight Queen Creek officers,
the Maricopa County County Sheriff's deputies. If there was nothing
to see there and it really wasn't that big of
a deal, why in God's name did so many members
of law enforcement have to show up? And why would
any parents start beating the crap out of a fellow
parent because of what their children are doing? Is that

(27:30):
unsportsmanlike conduct? Joe? I mean, can we just pretty much well, Aeries,
the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies,
there's no bigger douche than you. That's you. You've reached
the top, the pinnacle of douche. The good point, Joe,
go in dou your dreams have come true. And Joe

(27:55):
pointed out to me, and it's something I've given a
lot of thought of over the years. You know your
child is not going to be a professional player of sports.
Statistically speaking, the odds are against your child. Sorry to
be the bar or bad news, but it's just a reality.

(28:18):
It is five fifty here fifty five kr CIT talk station,
A very happy ones say to you, Brian Thomas back.
But for the most part, anyway, Ah, I love Strecker,
and he puts together the stack is stupid, and they're
quite often. I'll bring my own stack of stupid articles
in and I put them with Joe Strecker's selected stack
of stupid articles. And every once in a while, Joe
intentionally puts an article in the stack of stupid that

(28:40):
I can't read. He would never do that, right, You
love it. You insist that I am literally Ron Burgundy,
that I will literally read anything that's put in front
of my face, as if I don't know the words
that are coming out of my mouth when they're coming
out of my mouth. No, the exception of Monday, that
might have been the case. You might have gotten away
with it on Monday, Joe. But I like to think,

(29:03):
thank you Eric for giving me props on my muscle
memory able to do that even though I didn't even
know what it was saying on Monday headline the article
that I can't go through. You can find it for yourself.
The sex position men hate, but women say makes them

(29:25):
feel sexy and confident. What dust off your comma suture, folks,
And I'll let you do your own research on that one. No,
it's the sex position that men hate Joe, but women
say makes them feel sexy and confident. So I don't
think that is an appropriate sound effect given what it

(29:46):
is traditionally used for here on the fifty five Krecen
Morning Show, at which point I will put the brakes
on any further conversation along these lines, pivoting over how
hard is it they start a new year? Can stop it?
Art of the year means more people will going to
the gym and apparently picking up spreading germs. Yeah, I know.

(30:09):
New research found bacteria lurking under fingernails long after the
end of a workout. Fingernail swab. Yeah, giving you information
you probably don't even want to know. Is ignorance bliss
on a topic like this Joe fingernails? Yeah, probably remember
COVID when people were washing their fruit and washing their

(30:30):
their their cans of like green beans they bought at
the store. And yeah, okay, how about scrubbing your fingernails.
That's probably a step above in something that might actually
do you good. Accord to this research, fingernail swabs from
individuals who had completed an hour long workout showed bacterial
levels up to ten times dirtier than the average toilet

(30:52):
seat what e. Germs including uh Staphylococcus, enterocucas, basillas, E Coli,
which can cause s cain infections, rashes and more, stem
from using the same equipment in sweaty mats as hundreds
of other gym goers. No, they don't wash those after
you leave. Even if your fingernails look clean after training,

(31:14):
it could still be harboring more than fifteen thousand quality
forming units per swab levels that exceed an airplane tray table.
Jay Rattliffe, are you out there? You know how gross
that is? They didn't do a comparison to the bathroom
in an airport or on an airplane, though, okay, leaving

(31:37):
equipment dirty, finish the sweaty studing an exercise bench before
we move to your next exercise. Give the bench and
any other equipment a quick clean up. That, says experts.
Not only do the microscopic microbes left behind thrive in warm,
sweaty environments, they can also linger on services for hours.
Personal trainer Lee Mitchell said you should always disinfect equipment

(31:59):
before and after use with sprays and wives, so after that,
wait two minutes for the cleansing to properly kill the bacteria.
According to a physical occupational therapy manager at Barloor College
of Medicine, Melanie McNeil, well, it's a tempting to wipe
away sweat from your face or eyes throughout the session
of working out. Resist the urge, they say. It's also

(32:20):
true if you're trying to avoid a cold after someone's
sneezes or costs on you, as this can spread germs faster,
exposing them to your ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Keep
a clean towel, handy, he said. Each touch can transfer
germs directly from your hands as sensitive areas. Hmmm. Also
bad news. Lending or borrowing towels, gloves or water bottles
a bad idea for germs because they helps you, no idea.

(32:45):
It also reminds me of the community cup. You remember that, Joe,
the Catholic Church. I know, it was just Catholic Church.
They would share the communion cup. You would hand it
to the next person and drink out of it because,
like I guess, Jesus came down and white away the
bacteria that was festering from the herpes that was on
the lips of the mouth of the person that was
in front of you. Yeah, painting a pretty graphic picture.

(33:09):
Perhaps unnecessarily, but this all seems so obvious to me.
See here leaving fingernails long perfect hiding spot for bacteria,
So don't do that. Trimming your nails and cleaning under
the cuticles regularly with a small brush can stop the
germs from growing and spreading. And there's that key. How
about washing your hands key tip pro tip prevent colds

(33:30):
and infections. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water
for at least twenty seconds. Sounds like on the low
endem that be what necessary, But there you have it. No,
does that legitimize my excuse for not working out? Yes,
Joe says Joe. You don't have a club membership either,
do you? You don't know what I'm talking about. Okay,

(33:52):
It's all in the name of our respective good health.
That's why we don't work out. Five ifty six Here
at fifty five kre CEE talk station, Brian Thomas welcoming
phone calls for you have a common anything Feel free?
Five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
and eighty two to three talk found five fifty on
AT and T phones. Judging UH based upon my typical

(34:14):
eight cylinder analogy. I got a couple more cylinders back
compared to Monday, and I appreciate Dan Carroll covering for
me yesterday and when I was struggling with that weird
brain fog thing, you know it cancer sucks and the
treatments for cancer beneficial, Yes, but they suck too, I guess,
not as bad as the cancer itself though, So coming
up in an hour the Big Picture with Jack added
in a history of meritocracy, and I was thinking about

(34:36):
the op ed piece I read in the first hour
and another one that I want to dive on into.
It is kind of a corollary, you know, these non
governmental organizations, you know, taking our American taxpayer dollars at
the behest of Democrats, throwing it out into the world
and then undermining everything that you and I might stand for,
including the concept of meritocracy. Was this not and did
this country not prove the ultimate of government? Are we

(35:01):
not a standout in the world the history of the
entire world in terms of economic ability and output? Meritocracy
is what drove that for years and years and years,
the idea that you have merit and you can apply
that your own skills and your trades for your benefit.
The motivation is usually a selfish one. Yes, we want
to make money, we want to profit from it. But

(35:22):
when we start making money, we start putting out a
good or service at the rest of the world wants.
Because we are brilliant and came up with an idea.
That's not me saying that for myself. It's just an observation. Gee,
Bill Gates created this. Look what happened. He is a
multi billionaire now and how many people does he employ?
How many other millionaires do you think he made as

(35:42):
a consequence of his inventions are going around the whole
get away from artificial intelligence or computer based and programming
and software again into anything else. We reward success and
a capitalist world where you're not told what you have
to buy. We select the best from among what's out there,

(36:07):
and we reward those who offer the best goods and services.
The harder you work, the more likely is you're going
to succeed. That's ingrained. It's something that we could call
in American culture, and I know it's been whittled away,
most notably because our school systems preach socialism. They preach

(36:30):
that we are inherently unfair and that there have been
a lot of people who've been not had a seat
at the table in spite of their merit. Because we're
inherently fill in the blank, racist usually comes to mind.
It's an easy one for the left to call you
a racist because they don't really ever have to prove
anything that justifies the accusation. And what really irks me

(36:53):
is that so many people cower in the face of
that allegation. I mean, if you know yourself, if you
know you're not racist, then just stay end up to
that crap. If you are, they may very well have
evidence to prove that you're a racist. That's your struggle.
I don't have any problem with that. But as I

(37:14):
was thinking about the flood of illegal immigrants coming into
our country and the obvious problems that has created, there's
something so nefarious about this. Obviously, the European Union could
have been a poster child for the United States, but
I think that's what they all wanted. They wanted to
flood the European Union, and it's traditional and they're not

(37:35):
as meritocracy based as we are, certainly not as capitalist
as we are, far more socialists than we are. But
they did have a culture the French could at least
arguably say they had a history and a culture. Look
at our art, look at our food, look at our architecture. Germany,
you one time could say the same thing. A lot

(37:56):
of other European Union countries. They've been around a lot
longer than us. We're coming at two fit fifty. How
do we survive and surpass all of the of the
other countries in this world in two hudred and fifty
short years? Free markets, capitalism, free speech and merit? And
what do you think this influx of people who have

(38:16):
no connection with that? Regardless of what the color of
the skin is, it does not matter. It is a
mindset in philosophy, a culture that they bring wherever they
came from, bring with them, flooding our country to twenty million,
ten million, pick a figure. The same thing that had
been happening in the European Union happened at light speed

(38:38):
of the Biden administration. The borders were wide open compared
to the Obama administration. Even Obama at least deported a
whole bunch of illegal immigrants. So diy Clinton, Soda Bush?
So did I mean we could go down the line?
Never riots in the streets never protests. Going back to
the article about the NGOs, and look what we have
seen in Minnesota. Yes, it is involved with his Somali community.

(39:04):
So what it doesn't make you racist to call out fraud,
to call out criminal activity. Nothing to see here, nothing
to you just being a racist because that person's skin
color is different than yours. Oh, I got two words
for you, and it ain't happy birthday. That's the American
taxpayer dollars at work right there. So this not only

(39:29):
it's just this concern and I know everybody's got the
concern about voting, and there's this frightening, frightening article. Peter
Schweizer's written a new book and he always hits it
out of the park, The Invisible Coup, How American elites
and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon. He points
out how Chinese leads of using birth tourism for years

(39:50):
and years and years. That's going to result in about
one million Chinese with US citizenships. Not that they have
lived here, they are born here, gaining them immediate US
citizenship because of birthright citizenship. Then they go back to
their home country, the Chinese Communist Party govern country that
they live in. They learn in they are educated in
only to be shipped back here in the United States
where they can vote fully indoctrinated in a Chinese Communist

(40:15):
Party philosophy, not American education, as crappy as it may be,
and is indoctrination filled. You think your own kids' schools
are indoctrination camps, and they are well if they're public
schools anyway, compared to a Chinese Communist Party education system,
and you'll see that we are pikers by comparison. That

(40:35):
is a method of undermining, undermining our voting system. But
I look at it less about undermining voting than just
undermining this ethic that we all used to be used
to embrace, it used to have Merit is what gets
you places, you know, working hard to achieve your best self,

(40:57):
applying yourself, not getting hands a participation trophy just because
you showed up, but getting one because your team won.
Failing a class because you didn't study or learn the
necessary material. That was a thing not that long ago.

(41:22):
I did get a D in German. Yeah, I'll admit it,
a D one of my worst grades, not something I'm
proud of. I typically was an ab type student. So
much for the value of that MENSA membership. Huh. No,
there have been classes that I did poorly, and I
remember when I was in college, I dropped out of

(41:42):
econ one oh one when the very last day of class.
Why did I do that? I had a deer in
the headlight's fear overtaking the exam. I was not prepared.
I dropped the ball. I embarrassingly went up to the
professional last day of class and sheepishly said, can I
drop that class? In other words, without penalty, without anything

(42:03):
happening to me, because quite often they wouldn't let you
do that. I got lucky. That would have been terrible
on my report card. Yeah, but I've struggled with failure
and I endeavor not to have that happen again. But
this influx of people with no skills sets no connection

(42:25):
with meritocracy, no connection with the freedoms and liberties that
we enjoy, no understanding of what it's like to even
live in a country with the freedoms and liberties. Hell,
I mean even the European Union. You can't utter words
that hear. You could say all day long, they'll lock
you up. It's one of the reasons I kind of
question marked the whole idea of our ongoing relationship with
NATO the European Union, because they seem to be going

(42:46):
full on Chinese Communist Party way of living life, controlling
your speech. Huh, the Polton is going to speak about
that coming up at eight third area at eight thirty.
But bringing around and and and and and infusing this
culture with people who are not here legally. You don't

(43:10):
tell me that wasn't a concerted effort, that that wasn't intentional,
that it wasn't meant to drive us into this global,
homogeneous sort of the socialist world that it seems that
our global leaders are pushing for. We're living the reality

(43:32):
of it that we have throngs of people who would
attack our ICE agents for endeavoring to enforce the law.
And again, going back to the statistics, the vast majority
of people who are being picked up by ICE or
otherwise having their lives interfered with are outright dangerous criminals.

(43:58):
We live in a country now where elected officials in
the United States, senators, politicians, governors, representatives, mayors are protecting
evil people, not just random people who've been working here
for ten years. And maybe a couple of those folks
get caught up in the mix. I don't know, but

(44:19):
that there are a few people who might get caught
up in the mix. And if they're here legitimately, they
have no reason to be arrested or otherwise deported. They're
entitled due process and they won't be slow, painful process maybe,
but hey, at least you got due process on your side.
And in terms of kicking people out of the country,
you have the law on your side. Federal law says
they enter the country illegally. And also, I'm sorry, it

(44:41):
sucks to be you. If you commit violent criminal acts convicted,
you're serving your time. Hey, subject to a detention order
that will kick you kicked out of the country. That's
why ICE agents want to hang out in prisons, because
wealth state officials want to let them back out into
the streets. I mean, how screwed up is that? I'm

(45:07):
just puzzled by all of this. And again, going back
to some of the comments I made earlier. I think
it was Monday, maybe even the week before, but maybe
regularly over the course of ever, how long is this
really a winning strategy for Democrats? Is this what the
American people want? Yes, thousands of people walked out of
their job at two o'clock yesterday because Evil Orange Man

(45:30):
has celebrated his first year in office. There's a country
of three hundred and fifty million people. Do thousands of
collective total people across this great land of ours amount
to really anything by way of a political movement? Are
those people really employed that they took to the streets
at two pm? They actually walked out of their paying
job to protest Evil Orange Man? Or maybe they just

(45:53):
got paid to show up because well, they're on the
umbilical court of an NGO that's got taxpayer dollars funding it. Eh,
could be. I just struggle that this is something real
that somehow an overwhelming majority of Americans think men can

(46:14):
participate against women in sports, That somehow an overwhelming majority
of Americans think that ice doing their work and trying
to get bad people out of the neighborhood is a
bad thing. That there's a vast majority of American voters
who think that we shouldn't ferret out fraud wasted abuse
of the American taxpayer dollars in illustrations like Minneapolis, where

(46:37):
yes it was the Somali community knee deep in corruption,
but it could have been anybody that we want to
protect that six nineteen fifty five K City Talk station,
Mississippi James, appreciate you. Baron with me. I will grab
your call the minute. Who come back after I mentioned

(46:58):
you in this Mississippi James is on the line. James,
welcome back, my friend, and happy Wednesday to you, sir.

Speaker 6 (47:04):
Yes, sir, come in peace, love everybody, and there's nothing
you can do about it.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Appreciate its mind.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Now, you know Martin Luther king day, and you know
a lot of stuff was sanitized, and that may be
a good thing to sanitize, because I'm hearing, you know,
what he stood for by peoples that probably was mad
with him at the time and the group that helped
kill them, you know. But now we're hearing this sanitized

(47:33):
version what he was good, what he meant for and
stood for. And I say that's okay. Now I want
to speak to the Christians, anybody that believed their Christian,
confessed to be a Christian acting like the Christians. Less
sanitize Christianity and go back and look at it where
it came from, where we can say it came from.

(47:56):
None of us would never know the beginning. We just
get in were we fit in. But the way I
look at it, you know, the Bible is black history
from the region that it came from. It's black history. Yes,
it got colonized, it got whitewashed, white supremacy, white racism.

(48:20):
You know, it led to all that. But if we
get back to what the Bible is about, peace, love
and blessing, we'll do a lot better. And I'm speaking
of an afrocentric mindset. You know where it take a
village to raise a child. Now you get in a
eurocentric mindset, it's about power, money and control. These two

(48:45):
really don't match up. They don't line up. Yeah, you
can push it down people's throat, but you're take it
away from the true purpose that I think of God.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Well, you know, you could be a zen Buddhist and
cast off possessions because your possession will own you and
they will make you miserable. And you can leave an
aesthetic life and have nothing and wander and beg for
rice and be perfectly happy. That is not a lifestyle
I personally would choose. Mississippi James, I view life differently.
I want a little bit more comfort than that. I

(49:18):
just want to have, you know, a freedom that my
personal growth perhaps wealth that I personally have accumulated through
my personal work, and I truly enjoy that. I can,
you know, help my family, I can help others. My
worth allows me to help charity and spread a Christian
mission if I'm inclined to do that. I mean, it's

(49:41):
like the global warming mess. I mean, if you're cleaning
up the environment. You can't clean up an environment if
people are starving and don't even have running water. I mean,
one thing has to precede another. No one's going to
care about the globe if they can't even flush a
toilet in their own neighborhood. So you've got to have
money and earnings and something that might be see by
some to be evil in order to get to this

(50:02):
glorious place where we're all sort of living in a Kumbai. Y'ah.
I love you, and let's work for each other kind
of world that Christianity suggests we should be living in.

Speaker 6 (50:12):
Now. I agree with seven to eighty percent of what
you say. It just now, seven eighty percent, ten minutes,
seven to eighty percent, But you're only saying fifty percent
of what need to be said, and you frame it
in a way that benefits your concept. But if you

(50:33):
open up your mind, it's right. Yeah, if you open
up your mind and look at you know, I use
this six'. NINE i may have said it to.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
You, yeah, yeah many, times many. Times depends on how
you're looking at. It is this six or is it a?
Nine depends on your. Perception, Yeah but what AM I
what AM i missing out? On and what obligation DO
i have to advocate for SOMETHING i don't believe? IN i,
Mean i'm advocating for.

Speaker 6 (50:53):
In, control, money, power in, control.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
All of which can be used for. Good it depends
on the individual who is wielding them any power, control
whether they use it for, evil nefarious, purposes or they
want to do good by way of the. World that's my.
Point you need the flexibility to achieve, money, paying, fame
and power. Whatever you need the ability to do that
in in a structured socialist or communist, government a dictatorial,

(51:19):
government you don't even get the flexibility to do. That
i'm willing to give someone the benefit of the. Doubt
in a free society where they can use their merit
and their capitalism and the money that they earn to do.
Good let them do. That give them a. Shot see
where it turns. Out and there are, people of, course
like The epsteins of the, world who acquire, money, power
and fame and fortune and do it for nefarious. Purposes

(51:40):
we should be holding them out as the evil reality
of the freedom that we're. Allowed but don't take away
my freedom and the name is simply because some abuse.
It i'd certainly rather live here than in some dictatorial
country where they decide WHAT i can say and WHAT
i cannot. Say, so, Yes, JAMES i will. ACKNOWLEDGE i.

(52:00):
WILL i do actually leave out a certain percentage of
the advocacy that you are, pushing and that's fine Because
i'm a different, advocate and that's why we have phone calls,
here so you can point that. Out But i'll readily.
ACKNOWLEDGE i don't view it as my role on the
fifty FIVE Krce morning showed as the host who provide

(52:21):
some sort of neutral like proper news reporting on every
single PHILOSOPHY i. HAVE i will acknowledge my personal philosophy
may have some. Faults may and we owe it to
all of ourselves to ferret out the, faults to identify
those who would abuse the, system to identify those who

(52:42):
would corrupt and use their wealth or their power for
nefarious purposes and hold them out as the, downside but
don't wipe away the upside that we all around the
entire globe in joy as a consequence of our system of,
government because we're pretty much keeping the whole breaking world

(53:03):
afloat six point thirty right, now if you BIVE krcd
talk station and feel free to call you may, disagree
and that's, AOKAY i don't. Mind i'll be right back
AFTER i Mentioned Zimmer simmer heating and air. Conditioning they
are great at what they, do which is a six thirty.
Five if ABOUT krcd talk station went, down rambling wors

(53:26):
hestor the its consequence Of james, CALLING i love hearing From.
Mississippi james is kind of keeping it real with the
WAY i view. Life and oh look there it is
after the walkout yesterday because Evil orange man celebrating one
year being sworn in an, office all we gotta quit
work or walk out of. Work one of the most
leftist sites On facebook That i'm aware, Of Greater Cincinnati,
politics hosting The cincinnati stands With Minneapolis Ice out For

(53:53):
good rally marching solidarity support their strike taking to place
free At City hall head on down eight to One Plum.
Street maybe a remember of Socialist alternative that's one of
the groups sponsoring.

Speaker 7 (54:07):
This.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Hmmm you notice the trend there with the groups that
are sponsoring this kind of. Thing, hey you might want
to pay attention to who's behind this support The minneapolis
To STRIKE dm for your organization slash union to endorse
this march and a familiar caster character is when it

(54:28):
comes to those sponsoring this. March, yeah far leftist unions
and organizations all well funded by these THAT i go
back to the ARTICLE i read in the five O'clock,
hour which is now posted on my blog page fifty
five carecy dot. Com non governmental organizations wealthy socialist. Billionaires

(54:52):
so check that out if you even get a chance
to read. It all, right hear me read. It just
read it for. Yourself why the Modern Democratic party is a?
Kleptocracy be paying attention that kind of? Thing are all NGOs?
BAD i would going back to my point With, james
not necessarily do you want to throw out the entire
concept of funding non government organizations because we've found out

(55:13):
a lot of them are left leaning and do not
do the work that they have been hired to. Do,
no let's just get rid of the ones that are,
corrupt the ones that are using the money that they
get from The american taxpayer to fund political organizations and political.
Operations that is not the work of The american taxpayer,
dollar and we should do all we can to stop

(55:34):
that from. Happening NOTICE i didn't pay with the broad
rush and say get rid of all, allocations Because i'm
sure there are decent non government, organis non government organizations
out there in the world that are actually doing something
that they were hired to. Do six thirty seven right,
now fifty Five krcdtalk, Station Chimneycare. Fireplacesto that's the. Folks
you need to call for Your saty talk station if

(55:58):
you HAVE krcd talk, today shouldn't gon mp over the
phones there just a second and Get mike's calm my,
submarine your friend kribbage. My BUT i was thinking about
these nationwide, walkouts the one that drew thousands in the
streets yesterday to celebrate or to Protest trump's Innaugur asian of,
course the one that's protesting out in front of a
city hall On, friday the local organization in support of
lawlessness In? Minneapolis isn't it like a Reverse Atlas? Shrugged

(56:22):
for those who have Read einran's Book Atlass, shrug that
was the, wealthy the, rich the, competent those who'd previously
exhibit merit and provided goods and services to the people
who wanted that and became ultimately. Successful, well they got
quit sick of getting their stuff taken from. Them and
Like Margaret thatcher, said the problem is. Socialism eventually you

(56:45):
run out of other people's. Money so if all of
the other side of the political, ledger all of those
who provide and and and employ and hire and benefit
society at large or, large if they all walked, out
you got An Atlas shrug. Situation then what would this
socialists live?

Speaker 6 (57:00):
On?

Speaker 1 (57:03):
Huh where would these NGOs get their? Money you, know
the government can't print. It you, know it's that it's
a proven fallacy that the government can print its way
to with. Prosperity because that, worked everybody else in the
world would have already gotten the. Message but the message
of history is that if you print yourself into, prosperity
at least you endeavor to do, so your currency collapses

(57:25):
and everyone ends up in absolute, Misery so just an
interesting WAY i thought of looking at. It, Cribbage, Mike
welcome to The Morning. Show thanks for calling my. Friends
good to hear from.

Speaker 7 (57:38):
You welcome, Back. BRIAN i pray for you and everyone
that is fighting cancer as valiantly as you, are and
Then god bless all of.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
You AND i apologize to everybody for sounding Like i'm
whining about. IT i only talk about my cancer in
the context of making sure people are. Aware you know
what you could have, it if you've got night, sweats
talk to your doctor about. It i'm only looking out
for your best. Interest. Man you know that's all there
is to.

Speaker 7 (58:04):
It, Absolutely BUT i was out there and you know
better than most that early detection is so. Key if
not an annual or a semi, annual just basic, checkup
like you, say if you start seeing, symptoms get to the.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
Doctor, yeah and it could be something really weird that
happened to me and that resulted in a cancer. Diagnosis
and my weird problem THAT i had had nothing to
do with. Cancer so take care of, yourself that's. All
that's all it's.

Speaker 7 (58:31):
ABOUT a shifting gears this morning as a downtown worker.
MYSELF i want to publicly thank every man and woman
that has putting on THAT cpd uniform this, morning or
one that is just coming off their shift from being
out there last, night because they continually take gut punch
after gut, punch whether it be from City hall and

(58:53):
all these cash buyouts to resolve cases that clearly some
of them should be litigated. Out but yesterday was another
perfect example of what went on over The Hamilton County.
Courthouse so you have the whole hinted. Tragedy it is a.
Tragedy we have two people that are no longer with,
us a decorated deputy sheriff Mister henderson and young Mister

(59:16):
hinton who very unwisely pointed a gun and an. Officer
so the other three have now taken pleat. Deals two
were set set up. Yesterday all charges were dropped with
the exception of. Obstruction that's what they pled out. To
so young mister eighteen year Old grigsby is going to
get two years of intensive. Probation, NOW i guess that's

(59:40):
an ankle monitor on both. ANKLES i don't know what
intensive probation.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Is it's like double secret, probation like.

Speaker 7 (59:46):
Absolutely and then Mister, bullocks who has an extensive juvenile
record which was incredibly redacted before the news last, night
nineteen years, old two prior car. Thefts he's going to
get ten. Months the other third stooge is going to
be in front Of Judge Katie. CASH i haven't heard
that name mentioned, before but she's the one that officiated

(01:00:08):
yesterday's ceremony and she's going to see Mister austin on
second Of, february who is also only going to be
charged with. Obstruction so the weapons, charged the stolen, vehicle
the everything else that was out, there that's all. Dropped
AND i was under the, impression you, know you always
hear the example if you're the getaway driver at a

(01:00:28):
bankruptpy and someone shot and, killed the price of poker goes. Up,
yes how is that not applicable in this, case.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Especially in the city that screams all day long about gun.
Violence you, know the quickest remedy to dealing with gun
violence is to prosecute people who use firearms and the
commission of crimes to the fullest extent of the. Law
word might get around that you're not going to get
a free, pass which you typically get In Hamilton county
if you use a, gun and.

Speaker 7 (01:00:53):
There were a best of my, RECOLLECTION i believe there
was another gun other than the one that Mister hinton
had in his, possession either at the scene or in
that stolen.

Speaker 6 (01:01:03):
Car and you, Know i'm not.

Speaker 7 (01:01:05):
A gun over, myself but something tells me that in
eighteen and a nineteen year old should not be having.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
HANDCUFFS i think that is the state of The, lawlike
so once.

Speaker 7 (01:01:15):
Again here they're putting on that uniform out there protecting
me and other downtown workers and everybody else within the
city Of, cincinnati and this is what they. Got i'd
love to hear Ken kober's reaction or maybe some other,
Me steve goodenor as some other lawyer as far as
why NOW i realized eighteen nineteen years, Old i'm sure
they were just getting ready to turn their life. Around

(01:01:37):
i'd love to be able to pull up Their Cincinnati
Public school more than likely education attendance, records since that's
been in the media.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Here, yeah not p forty seven.

Speaker 7 (01:01:46):
Percent you, KNOW i think what they call it aggravated.
Exactly but let's see what their academic record was like
that led them to this life of. Crime in the
young ages of eighteen and nineteen years.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Old it may be illustrative to answering the question, There,
mike thank you so, much. SIR i appreciate. It i'll
look forward to senior listener lunch At ron's roost on
the fourth Of. February man a mister curvage game In
january six forty. Eight right now coming up with six forty. Nine,
first let me mention fast and pro roofing before we
get back to calls or other subject. Matter And Jack

(01:02:19):
atherton after the top of the our news the talk
station it is six point fifty three fifty FIVE kercd talk.
STATION a history of. Meritocracy jack added in after the
top of the our. News but that is a subject,
matter follow By donald And. Neil americans For prosperity government
funding deadline coming up Of january. Thirtieth, well they have
government funded also energy. Reform but it leaves me to

(01:02:44):
this is a comical revelation AND i feel so sorry
For germany being just overwhelmed with his green. Nonsense soone
said they drove their economy into the. Toilet German Chancellor
Frederick merge made the admission that shutting down The german
nuclear power reactors, was in his, wards a severe strategic.
Mistake you, said to have acceptable market, prices that will

(01:03:09):
be something you can afford His german. People to have
acceptable market prices for energy, production, again we would have
to permanently subsidize energy prices from the federal. Budget we
can't do this in the long. Run, well no, Kidding
so as you can't subsidize an insurance premium into, oblivion

(01:03:31):
masking the cost of healthcare below it by well taking
away the right of the citizen to actually see the
cost of the premiums were the government not involved with.
It sorry for interjecting, that he. Said so we are
now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire.
WORLD i know of no other country that makes things
so expensive and difficult As. Germany, wow what are they.

(01:03:54):
Doing they're soliciting bids to build eight gigawatts of taking
a pace from The Chinese Communist party playbook new gas
fired power plants with the goal of heavy of online
by twenty thirty. One apparently another four gigawatts of capacity
for lower carbon energy sources or gas plants that can
switch to hydrogen more. Quickly, notice it's not switching over

(01:04:17):
to a windmill or a solar. Panel largest contributing economy
in The European, union the backbone of The european economic,
Model germany's economy not. Anymore so you know you can
tell them all day. Long, hey by the, way in
your energy, philosophy which, is let somebody else extract those

(01:04:39):
evil carbon so we can burn. Them let's buy it
from The russians while you're trying to fund an opposition
war against The. RUSSIANS i, Mean germany apparently has sent
more money To russia during The Ukraine war than The
ukraine via gas. Purchases well at least only figuring it

(01:05:01):
out six fifty, Six jack add in a history Of.
Meritocracy that'll be next. Up we can stick around today's
tough headlines coming up at the.

Speaker 5 (01:05:10):
Time So.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
No five five care Cit Talk. STATION a very Happy
wednesday to. You always made it ex special for, me
AND i know so many of my listening audience feels
the same, way considering the emails and the MESSAGES i
get About Jack. Atherton it's time for The Big picture
With Jack aviden taking place Every wednesday at seven oh.
Five you're on the fifty five Carc Morning. Show welcome,
back my. Friend it is a distinct pleasure as always

(01:05:33):
to have you on the, show.

Speaker 8 (01:05:34):
Sir thanks, pal and, folks if you didn't hear the
beginning of today's, SHOW i would urge you to go
back and listen to the podcast Because, BRIAN i agree
with everything you said about meritocracy and would like to
continue that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Conversation you're the from a different. Angle you were the springboard.
MAN i didn't have any idea which direction you were
going to. Go it just said history of meritocracy is subject.
Matter BUT i thought it kind of provided a springboard
for the. Commentary SO i appreciate, that AND i guess
based of all what you just, SAID i didn't interfere
with your your analysis on this. Way so let's take
it down your. Road, Well i'm.

Speaker 8 (01:06:13):
Never going to tell you my topics again because you
can't match what you, said so could?

Speaker 6 (01:06:18):
We this?

Speaker 8 (01:06:18):
Morning give a shout out to folks who don't get no.
Respect i'm talking about workers at The bureau Of Motor.
Vehicles there's a punchline there for comedians Like. Rodney they are, lazy.
Starlaningcompetence we wait an hour to call your number and
then refuse to renew your license without twenty forms OF.

(01:06:38):
Id But, brian that's not my. Experience In hamilton and
Now Butler, Counties i've encountered nothing but, helpful smiling faces
AS bmv clerks gently remind me not to drive without
my mister mcgoogle. Glasses i'm a big fan of most
government workers, generally but only when those workers are doing

(01:07:00):
necessary work and know what they're. Doing this is not
always the. Case some government workers are so clueless or
so arrogant and even, corrupt you wonder how they ever got. Hired,
actually people have been wondering for thousands of. Years you,
know we get into history takes someone many of us

(01:07:21):
know only from fortune. Cookies. Confucius he was a big
Booster brian of government, meritocracy in, fact, merit not, nepotism not,
cronyism affirmative action or. Quotas merit was a cornerstone of his.
Philosophy confucius lived about five hundred years before. Christ china

(01:07:42):
at that time was torn by, invasions civil, wars and social.
Disorder So confucius for most of his life tried teaching
rulers how to be, virtuous even when they Were confucius
knew a state could not rely on a single, ruler
much less of rulers kids and. Grandkids Governments confucius knew

(01:08:02):
needed competent, bureaucracy and to ensure that he called for,
rigorous standardized civil service. Examinations that common sense requirement became
the basis Of chinese governments for more than two thousand.
Years meritocracy ensured good government and also paved the way
for social. Mobility Unlike, england and as you were talking

(01:08:26):
about Before, france you didn't need to be an aristocrat
to move up In. China and that's still. True you
may not want to, admit but it's. True in Communist
china there is social. Mobility, however When confucius made his
pupils read classic books and then think for, themselves Red
china today requires a slavish devotion to party, orthodoxy which

(01:08:50):
explains Why beijing is better at stealing technology than unleashing
free market. Innovation, still we In america are in no
position to set near As jijungping and his party, hacks
because how good Is america today at foster in, meritocracy
much less. Virtue the problems start at our so called

(01:09:12):
elite universities which don't so much educate as. Credential washington's governing, Class, Harvard,
yale and the rest have always accepted legacy students whose
parents or grandparents went, there especially if they built a.
Building but to make sure socially undesirable students did not
outnumber legacy, kids these elite schools began imposing negative, quotas

(01:09:37):
limiting the acceptance Of, Asians, jews and students from other
high performing groups high Performing brian not because of their
race or, ethnicity but because their, parents mothers and. Fathers
what a concept demand. Excellence but for the last fifteen
years or, so As marxism has dominated those elite, schools

(01:09:58):
we've seen a different kind of quota there and, elsewhere woke.
Quotas students whose performance is subpar on standardized tests nevertheless
get accepted on the basis of, race, ethnicity gender, identity
or whatever other sort of victimhood they can come up,
with all in the name of, diversity equity and, inclusion

(01:10:20):
and not just underprivileged. KIDS dei also waves through applicants from,
prosperous even prominent. FAMILIES i won't name some of these
BECAUSE i want to embarrass the children they get in
as long as they fit the. Quota what's, worse what's,
unforgivable is the progressives pushing affirmative action refused to help

(01:10:42):
truly underprivileged. Kids Take. Baltimore In, baltimore more than ninety
percent of students at many public schools cannot read or
do math at grade, level and at more than a
dozen schools In, baltimore there's not a single student there
who can do the proficiency. Test most Big american cities
no longer Follow. Confucius, instead these, leftists including teacher, unions

(01:11:08):
oppose standardized. Tests they oppose even giving. Them they hand
uneducated students of all races and ethnicities a high school diploma.
Congratulations than when universities accept these so called, graduates they are.
Allowed they're even encouraged to pursue fully undemanding majors so

(01:11:29):
they can get hired by government and woke. Companies Under Joe,
biden almost all the hiring in his monthly employment reports
that was done by. Government Under Donald, trump none of
it is. Meantime illiterate students who don't LAND dei, jobs
they receive free, food, housing medical, care and all the

(01:11:51):
other welfare promised By obama's life Of, julia a life
totally dependent on big. Government that's the, deal. Folks, democrats
the uneducated but credentialed get government. Jobs uncredentialed victims get socialist.
Benefits the only real job either group has to do

(01:12:11):
is Vote. Democrat But, brian here's some good. News The
confucian ideal of advancement based on merit has now been
embraced by The United States Supreme, court or has. It
in a twenty twenty three split, decision a majority of
the justices held that affirmative action At harvard and other

(01:12:32):
schools violated the rights of other. Applicants harvard's, response so?
What harvard immediately announced that it would rely on a
loophole in that, decision a loophole big enough to drive
a mack truck, through assuming anybody At harvard could drive
a mack truck because our old Favorite Chief Justice John,
roberts to the surprise of absolutely, nobody also, wrote AND

(01:12:56):
i quote nothing in this opinion should be construed as
prohibiting universities from considering an applicant's discussion of how race
affected his or her life via through, discrimination, inspiration or
otherwise end quote that consideration of race is still enough

(01:13:16):
to get you Into harvard if you're full full enough
to centric kids. There the wider, issue, friends goes far
beyond school, admissions what came to be called the spoils,
system the doling out of federal jobs and contracts that
goes back two hundred years to the founders of The Democrat,
Party Andrew jackson And Martin Van. Buren Then republicans took

(01:13:40):
care of their cronies too and kept growing government until
Under Donald trump the cutting of wasteful jobs By Elon
MUSK'S doge and now each individual federal. Agency those cuts
and Attrition brian have trimmed about nine percent of the
federal workforce and. Counting, still let's not kid. Ourselves washington

(01:14:04):
remains anything but a meritocracy of competent, bureaucrats not to
mention politicians doing necessary. Work and if voters Elect democrats
again For congress this year and even more unthinkable for
presidents in twenty twenty, eight they are, Incompetence, corruption and
communism will put an end to this country as we

(01:14:24):
have known. It in some we can follow the lead Of,
confucius or we can heed his prediction about, bloated corrupt.
GOVERNMENT i translate from The chinese that's the way the cookie.
Crumbles what do you, say my meritorious.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
FRIEND i appreciate, it AND i am always blown. Away jack,
evident when you mentioned the failure rate and the inability
of young people graduating from high, school you mentioned a
couple of cities that's going, on and it's happening all
over the country that cannot perform mathematics on a basic,

(01:15:02):
level or cannot read on a basic. Level what in
the hell were they doing FROM k through? Twelve what?
POSSIBLE i, mean it's it's mind. Boggling AND i go back,
AGAIN i peep Pondering. Jack you know THAT i look
at something as crazy as these policies that democrats are.
Pushing you, know men can play against women in sports
or any of the other, ones and wonder whether really

(01:15:25):
The american people agree with or buy into what they are, pushing,
or for, example in the subject matter of, education Which
i'm trying to pivot over to right, now the idea
of flexibility of. Choice you, know you'll get, teachers unions
and people rallying in the streets and support of the
exact institutions that have literally and objectively failed our, children

(01:15:49):
and yet the teachers' unions fight against tooth and nail
against any opportunity for younger people to benefit by just
giving their parents a choice on the school that they go,
to HM. M might my child have a better opportunity
to to read and perform mathematics at that school over,
there not run by the teachers'? Union mind you then
going to the public. Schools at Least i've got a.
Choice if you want to send your kids to public,

(01:16:10):
school exercise the. Choice what is wrong with the idea of?
Choice if you've got demonstrable failure within your whatever, city
happen to be in public, schools they don't have a,
choice then you're stuck. There you cannot. Escape and the
product of not being able to escape, is, well your

(01:16:31):
kid's going to be left to a lifetime of either
working as a dei hire or a dependent on the.
GOVERNMENT i just, MEAN i, mean someone tell me That i'm,
right and someone tell me that no school choice is
widely accepted and understood and embraced because it gives people
at least some flexibility to get their children a decent.
Education not that it's necessarily going to, happen but at

(01:16:54):
least it creates an. Opportunity Jack, WELL i.

Speaker 8 (01:16:59):
Think you're absolutely. Right and you, know as people may
remember from reading The legend Of Sleepy, hollow the school,
teacher the Master Ichabod, crane was hired by the parents
and he would move from house to, house living, there
and they knew what he was up. To two hundred
and fifty years, ago our newborn country was a meritocracy

(01:17:19):
because we had no. Choice right The Continental congress was,
broke almost powerless and therefore. Small to make, money you
had to be a farmer or a fur, trader a,
craftsman a. Merchant you could not make money in. Politics
so politics was all about public service until the country
grew and government gained power to confer everything from railroad

(01:17:44):
easements to military, contracts anything that government. Controlled that's why
the answer doing competence And minnesota style corruption in pocketing
taxpayer funds is to have the smallest government, possible which
is exactly what our constantution provides when we're true to.
It But, brian COULD i mention one other thing THAT
i forgot to bring up about what's going on in the.

(01:18:06):
Schools there is another problem with affirmative, action the burden,
you as a recipient of affirmative, action have to carry
all your. Life in nineteen ninety, one when a, Conservative
Clarence thomas was nominated to THE Us Supreme, Court New
York times Columnist Maureen, dowd as liberal as you, get

(01:18:26):
claimed he was accepted by An Ivy league law, school
and he got federal jobs and ultimately That Supreme court
nomination only thanks to affirmative. Action he was otherwise, incompetent she. Said,
today if you were to suggest the same things about
that Genius Katanji Brown, Jackson, wow liberals would brand you a.

(01:18:47):
Racist beyond the double, Standard, Brian this shows that affirmative
action leads critics of anyone on the left or the
right open to questions about whether they are really qualified
to be, lawyers, doctor, pilots any job that requires demonstrable.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Skills it's an excellent, point Jack, ada excellent as. Always
you Know Katanji, brown she's The Kamala harris of The
Supreme court, bench and it's an, absolute outright. Embarrassment, well, Well,
brian we're not saying she. Drinks oh, no that's. True
ALTHOUGH i don't know it would go a long way

(01:19:24):
to explaining some of the questions she's been engaged in
recently among those folks litigating in front of her in
The Supreme. Court jack, added you are, correct. Sir it's
the big picture as, always and it's always. BRILLIANT i
can't thank you, Enough jack for just improving the content
on this program dramatically every time you come. On it's
just just a great thing to have you on and

(01:19:44):
to spread your message to my listening audience and give
people some serious food for. Thought i'm already looking forward
to Next wednesday and another talk with, you my. FRIEND
i hope you have a wonderful week and the best
of love and health to you and your better. Aft
Tell AAMESLAND i, SAID i thank you you too. Well thanks.
Brother i'm twenty nine fifty about kersee de talk. Station.
Donald i'm in Any american, friends imas here in always

(01:20:06):
looking talking and looking forward to talking To americans for,
prosperity helping you and me do the necessary steps to
bring about some sort of logical and reasonable reform which
will benefit All. Americans welcome back FROM, Afp donovan And.
Neil it's great having you back on the. Show Sir,
brian always great to be with, you and, yeah sort
of springing from my comment A german Chancellor merge now

(01:20:27):
finally admitting that it was stupid and suicidal to try
to go full on carbon. Neutral look what they're. Doing
they're building eight gigawatts of new gas fired power. Plants
hopefully they'll get them online by twenty thirty. One this
is county your twenty twenty. SIX i guess they have
regulations that standing the way of a fishing production of
new energy there. Too but maybe we can bring about

(01:20:48):
some efficiencies and reductions in the regulatory burden here in
The United, states because who can deny that our energy
demands are growing and that we can't rely on the
sun and the wind to provide us our ever growing energy.
Demands donovan, O'Neill, well, YEAH i think.

Speaker 9 (01:21:03):
What we're seeing is a, shift not just around the,
world but most importantly here In, america with a where
returning the page from having a scarcity approach to energy
policy making to an abundance approach to energy policy. Making
what that, Means, brian is is we're gonna unleash energy.
Abundance we're gonna instead of saying there's only so much
of the pie to go. Around we're gonna build a bigger.

Speaker 6 (01:21:24):
Pie.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
Uh this scarcity model was built on a. Lie it
was a product of making energy intentionally, scarce not because
we were running out of the opportunity to build it
or create. It. Right, oh, Absolutely, okay, YEAH i want
to make sure we were clear on that concept because
it's something that really just pisses me. Off you cut

(01:21:48):
your own throat economically in the name of All this
is the religion we're going, After. Donovan isn't it carbon?
Dioxide evil plant? Food we need to get rid of.
It this is. It finally we're all coming out and
waking up to the idea that we've been sold a
bill of.

Speaker 9 (01:22:02):
Goods that's, right, well and in talking with lawmakers about,
this it's baffling to.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Me you.

Speaker 9 (01:22:09):
Know then there's number them that put these provisions of
the place or direct to the regulators to do.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
It but a lot of this has been you, know
those those.

Speaker 9 (01:22:17):
In the, shadows regulators and controllers LIKE, pgm who have
pushed that idea right and, said, hey we don't want new,
nuclear we don't want new, coal we don't want new gas,
powered we want wind and solar and when.

Speaker 6 (01:22:30):
It's just not adding.

Speaker 9 (01:22:31):
Up it's where we find ourselves in this situation, today
high energy, costs low, availability and questions about grid.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
Stability, YEAH i, mean Thanks, Mertz Chancellor. Mertz to have
acceptable market prices i. E what you AND i can, Afford,
donovan for energy, Production, again we would have to permanently
subsidize energy prices from the federal. Budget we can't do
this in the long. Run at least he's speaking reality, Now,
donovan and maybe the pgams of the world were all

(01:23:00):
itching and get you with excitement about putting up windmill
farms and solar panels because they got all kinds of
cash love from the federal government incentivized.

Speaker 6 (01:23:08):
To do just.

Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
That, well, yeah money.

Speaker 9 (01:23:12):
Aside the difference here is between renewable energy sources and
reliable energy. Sources at the end of the, day what
we want our reliable Sources right when it gets to
negative ten degrees In, ohio like we have happened from
time to time in the, winter we need to know
that that energy can.

Speaker 5 (01:23:29):
Be, dispatched generated, quickly and dispatched.

Speaker 9 (01:23:31):
Efficiently that doesn't happen in cloudy cold days where with slip,
panels or you, know even in frigid weather with, wind
it comes from, nuclear, coal natural. Gas it really comes
from a diverse array of. Energy but we need these
reliable sources to provide that, dependable affordable energy that so

(01:23:52):
many people need to heat their homes in the winter
and cool them in the.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
Summer, yeah and the whole thing ABOUT pgam. Puzzles, yes
they're on that green energy tract and they don't seem
to be doing. Anything and politicians up in The northeast
tend to Be blue, states and for whatever, reason they're
against the idea of, efficient, quick reliable energy production just
BECAUSE i don't, know is it the cult of global
warming that they're convinced, on or is it some of

(01:24:15):
the nefarious purpose that they're up. TO i don't, Know
but the idea that that region keeps drawing more and
MORE ai data, Centers like why would you hook yourself
up to the ubilical court of unreliable energy knowing full
well that there are other places in this country that provide,
constant easily reliable energy. Sources so put it over there

(01:24:36):
and not up, there if you know WHAT i.

Speaker 9 (01:24:37):
Mean, Yeah well we just Saw, ACTUALLY i don't know
if you saw, THIS i know you're a big nuclear, Fan. Bryan,
Yes vistra just announced partnerships with our with data Centers
meta to do some additional private investment in nuclear here In.
OHIO i think that's the key to really unlocking this. Stuff,
right as we get the permitting reform, done get the red,

(01:25:00):
tape the regulators out of the, way we allow private,
companies billion dollar companies right like, Mat amazon and others
who are also draining love of this energy to be
able to invest in in, strong, dependable reliable energy like.
Nuclear that's how we not only maintain our ability to
have these data centers as a national security interest here

(01:25:20):
in The United, states but we also help bring down
the cost of energy by getting a more private investment
into the energy.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
Sector a, man and maybe The Speed act might be
something transformative to permit us to get in that area
or to do just. That we're going to hear about
some of the details of The Speed, act WHICH afp
is calling on lawmakers to embrace more With Donovan, neil
plus a word or two about the government funding deadline fast.
Approaching on the thirtieth at seven forty fifty FIVE Krcd

(01:25:51):
talk Station Brian thomas here With donovan And, Neil americans
were prospered if we do, this everyone stay beginning at
seven thirty talking energy. Policy, Well, donovan it sounds like
we have met the me and they are, us at
least the giant swath of, us those being the elected
officials who intentionally cut our throats and deprive us of,
inexpensive easily deployable energy in the name of. Whatever obviously

(01:26:12):
it has a nefarious element, totally So i'm sticking with
my view of. That but there is The Speed, act
WHICH afp describes as a game. Changer what is The Speed?
Act and do we have an option to actually get
this through well and passed out.

Speaker 9 (01:26:25):
Of congress the lower, Chamber and it's over at the
sitting with The senate right, now and we see an
opportunity with This january thirtieth funding. Deadline they've got to
get the rest of their regular order bills done or
pass The Continuing. Resolution we think they can get this
included in that marathon sprint To january. Thirtieth and what
it would, Do, brian for your listener's, benefit is would

(01:26:46):
really modernize the federal permitting. Process we already did this
at the state, level And i've been on your show
a few times talking about. It with a piece of
legislation Called House bill. Fifteen The Speed, act to, me
does a lot of the similar, things but just at
the federal, level modernizing the MODERNIZING, nepa setting deadlines for
federal agencies to make permitting decisions as well as limiting,

(01:27:08):
scope among other. Things and that limiting, SCOPE i think
is important because you get these over zealous, regulators, right
these folks who think they're going to change the world
by broad interpretations of congressional authorization when what their job really, is,
Right congress makes the, laws the executive branch enforces those,

(01:27:28):
laws and they're not supposed to go beyond. That even
with modern reforms Like chevron and regulatory reforms Like Grains,
act we see these oversualous regulators get a little outside
of their. Lane The Speed act would help limit that
scope to really what the proximity caused by the project
rather than THESE throughd or fourth or fifth order issues

(01:27:54):
that they kind of construe as reasons for not allowing
energy projects or other product looks to.

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
Proceed, well are these, unnamed, unknown unelected regulators behind the
scenes that are making life so complicated for us to
have the energy that we know we could easily. PRODUCE
i mentioned smile modular Reactors, Again are they political? IDELOGS i,
mean or that they have some sort of nefarious intent behind?
Them do they want to deprive us of the greatness

(01:28:21):
that we can achieve even more so with abundant? ENERGY i,
mean what's their? Deal donovan, mean do.

Speaker 7 (01:28:28):
We know.

Speaker 9 (01:28:31):
Does anyone fully understand the mind of a?

Speaker 6 (01:28:33):
Bureaucrat, No but.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
You're pointing out illustrates the reality we've been dealing with
such a long, time absent To chevron decisions and others
which have endeavored to pair back this liberal viewpoint that
all these unelected officials have behind the scenes that they
once given any subject, matter they can put out a
regulation that rules over something so broad it was never
contemplated By, congress and yet they've been doing it. FOREVER i,

(01:28:58):
mean what is their? MOTIVATION i Guess i'm really struggling
with that because it always ends up working on very
poorly for us as a. Nation see the current energy
crisis we're. Facing, Well i'll.

Speaker 9 (01:29:11):
Get a little philosophical here of but to the SOUL
i think outlined it in his conflict of visions book
right where there's a constrained and an unconstrained vision that people.
Hold we as, conservatives but in fact our, nation our
Founding fallows held a constrained vision for our. Nation and
that's not in a bad.

Speaker 6 (01:29:31):
Way.

Speaker 9 (01:29:31):
Right The declaration Of independence gives Us i'm, sorry The
constitution gives us those those negative, rights that ability that
this is the things that the government can, do and
the rest are retained by the. People right where the
unconstrained viewpoint, says you, know the ends justify the. Means in, short,
right the rest of it be. Damned the idea is
that you, know you give me enough power AND i

(01:29:54):
can solve the problems of the world.

Speaker 6 (01:29:57):
That, far that's the.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Dilemma if all they were trying to solve the problems
of the. WORLD i, mean go back To germany. Again
they cut their own. Throats they made it unaffordable to produce,
energy the same Thing Barack obama was his. PLAN i
used this line all the time because he said it
over and over. Again the price of gasoline will necessarily.
Increase why do laws of supply and? Demand, nope because

(01:30:20):
we're making it. Harder is that solving a, Problem, Donovan,
NO i think it's making the existing problem that much. Worse,
Yeah and we.

Speaker 9 (01:30:31):
See it play, out whether it's in the energy sector
where we got to five dollars a gallon prices In.
OHIO i think it was close to five dollars year In.
Ohio during The biden, administration healthcare costs that we've talked
about on your show many times skyrocketing again not To
republicans in, action but in Fact democrats, actions voting consistently
to increase subsidies and march us down this path of

(01:30:54):
Perpetual obamacare that's making everything more, affordable from painkiller tail
and alls to TO x rays for your kid's broken.

Speaker 6 (01:31:02):
Arm it's.

Speaker 9 (01:31:03):
Insane and these, policies, right it's this idea that out Of,
washington D. C they know better than the people In.
Ohio it's the classic trust the experts OF covid, line,
Right and we see this and that's what's made energy so.
Expensive but, Fortunately, brian let's bring it back to the
sunshine and rainbows here that is very much in front
of us right, now and as an, opportunity The Speed.
Act congress has got it, done The, senate The house Of,

(01:31:25):
representatives has got it. Done The senate is holding on
to it and can do this. Thing it's a priority
of the leadership team there The republican. Majority President trump
one of his first actions as president nearly nearly a year,
ago now got to his administration to work and identifying these.
Problems The Speed act would help codify a lot of

(01:31:45):
those problems that The trump administration identified and, said we
Want congress to remove the authority from the executive branch
to unlead so. This by doing, that we can unleash
energy abundance in this.

Speaker 4 (01:31:54):
Country all, Right.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):

do you care about yourself? Enough how about your? Family

(01:34:21):
you have been struggling with this. One i'm coming to
my wife's gonna kill me for this. One this little weird.
Pivot my daughter And erica getting married in the end Of.
June we're looking forward to the. Wedding paulatt is rolling
her eyes right.

Speaker 6 (01:34:35):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Now paula AND i took off and we just got
married in the hotel. Lobby The Ritz carlton down In, Naples.
Florida we told everybody we were getting. Married we didn't
want to have a big, wedding didn't wanty to make the,
cut didn't want to make the. Call now you're not,
invited you're. Invited destination weddings are kind of a pain
for your loved one because they've got to fly somewhere
to go somewhere to actually see. You so it's a complicating.
Factor in the final, analysis we, said we're getting married

(01:34:59):
and know you're not. Invited thirty three plus years, later
we're still. Married tried to work on a similar deal
with my daughter and she was all in favor of,
it helping him out on one area rather than spending
a lot of money on a. Wedding but, no we're
having a. Wedding guess who's paying for. It it's not
gonna be a very big. One we're gonna have it

(01:35:20):
on the. Farm her far met her And eric's far,
met so it's going to be a good. Time AND
i kept raising this whole idea about we weren't supposed
to have a. Wedding why are we looking at the
facts and figures about having a? Wedding and my wife reminded, Me,
brian the people that will be coming grew up Or

(01:35:42):
lauren grew up with. Them they know, her they love,
her and the same. Site the same thing goes For
eric's friends and. Family they want to be there and see.
It it's for, them perhaps more so than For eric And.
Lauren AND i thought about, that AND i, thought you know,
What she's, Right SO i kept my mouth shut from
that point, forward except for now When i'm just trying

(01:36:03):
to explain. It but you, see taking care of, yourself
it's for, them that's the. Point and THEN i get
to know and feel love from people who LIKE i

Joe strecker add the link to that op ed piece
on my blog page fifty five careseea dot. Com it's
a real eye. Opener AND i don't know Who Segezza
eterna is author of this op ed, piece but just
knocking it out of the park on the reality of
NGOs and how you AND i are really just getting

choosing it five, one, three, seven, four nine fifty five,
hundred eight hundred and eight two to three talk found

(01:39:06):
five fifty on at AND t. Found you have a
comments bringing From donald o'neils comments about energy policy in
this country and This Speed, act which sounds like it
will be a wonderful thing for. Us so get in
touch with your senator and be YOUR us senators and
tell them to pass The Speed act and bring us
some much needed relief in terms of bringing more energy
online in this. Country coming up bottom of the, hour It's,

(01:39:27):
wednesday Meaning Judge Ennena paulton is going to join the program.
Today The american Police state has, arrived and Doctor Stephen,
erbek who's running For congress And district, one he'll join
the program at eight forty. Five NOW i would another op.
Ed it's important, again just, again going back To German
Chancellor mrs admitting that they dropped the blank and. BALL i,

(01:39:52):
mean who couldn't see that? Coming their energy policy. Problems
the biggest economy in the entire Year union and it's
falling to its knees because they've artificially journed up the
price of. Energy and oddly, ENOUGH i, mean how do
you make sense and this happens all the, time how

(01:40:14):
do you make sense Of germany professing, this you, know
clean energy and, go we are so. Perfect we are
doing everything we can to keep plant food out of the.
Environment oh and, yeah that price of energy is going,
up but it's. Okay government subsidies are there to soften
the blow or at least cover up the reality of.
It and he admits the other day, that, sorry we

(01:40:36):
can't do that in the long. Run that's just not
a recipe for, success no. Kidding so what are they
doing the bringing on more energy? Plants, yeah gas fired,
plants waking up to the reality that they need. It
so apparently global alarmism goes the way of THE dodo
when reality proves that what you are doing is literally
killing your, economy making life life miserable for your. People

(01:41:01):
and then There's David. STROM i found this over on Hot. Air,
oops they were worn and they did it, anyway kind
of put an exclamation point in this commentary this. Morning
this seems to happen all the, time because well it,
does he. Writes liberals leap into an acting a policy
that is so obviously, wrong get warned that the policy

(01:41:25):
is so obviously, wrong and after some period of time
they are forced to admit that the policy was obviously,
wrong and nobody pays a, price meaning they for pushing
their policies don't pay a. Price, instead they either get
forgiveness or even praise for reversing, course a course that
they chose in the first. Place in the, meantime incalculable

(01:41:47):
damage is. Done, well we were trying to do the right.
Thing they're countless. Examples remember kids are resilient when they
shut down our, schools defund the. Police if you only
make nice With, iran they will disarm and the ever
popular more money will end. Homelessness back over To germany And,

(01:42:09):
Germany Angelo, markle normally rights center, politician lurched far left
in the mid twenty. Teens she opened her borders to
rapists and famously closed all Of germany's nuclear power plants
and chose to put all her energy eggs into The
russian gas, basket despite warnings From trump and others that
both policies were a terrible. Mistake, well after a decade a,

(01:42:31):
disaster the Current german chancellor is walking waking up to
the fact that, well, gee maybe that was a bad
idea after. All no. Duh When trump warned The germans
that are relying On russian gas was terrible strategic, mistake
The germans quite literally laughed at. Him they were the
strategic geniuses And trump was a. Buffoon germans always have

(01:42:52):
a strong anti nuclear, movement of, course and the establishment
jumped at the chance to get rid of nuclear After.
Fukushima The russian gas decision is pure, madness but the
sophisticates Of, europe of, course knew better than the Brash.
Americans americans are so, stupid And Orange americans are the

(01:43:13):
most stupid of. All. Right in the intervening, Decade germany
has gone from an industrial superpower to one that is
deep industrializing with the economy and. Shambles they shut down
their last nuclear plant in twenty twenty, three which removed
four gigawatts of, reliable low cost based load. Energy Chancellor
Friedrich merks has now admitted this shutdown was a strategic,

(01:43:35):
mistake Calling germany's energy transition the most expensive in the.
World country turned to intimate and wind and solar backed
by gas imports and emergency coal, restarts and the obvious consequences.
Followed electricity prices, surged grid reliability, weakened and fossil fuel

(01:43:55):
use actually. Increased, yeah every single consequence of their decision
to make an energy transition was not just, predictable but
predicted by people far smarter than these environmentalist, Wackos and
that these policies have accomplished is simultaneously making the economy

(01:44:15):
much worse and burning the cash necessary to improve the
efficiency that, will in the long term accomplish many of
the goals they claim to want to. REACH i will
interject my own personal. Thoughts nuclear energy doesn't produce carbon.
Dioxide oh my, god small footprint producers in abundance of,
power they shut theirs. Down David. Right so my point

(01:44:38):
is not so much That germany made a, mistake of
course they, did but rather this pattern of a pattern
of liberal policies that are predictably disastrous when implemented with
all of the people involved remaining in. Power liberals point
to intentions as if in the long, run intentions. Matter

(01:45:02):
Neville chamberlain had good intentions. Too he wanted to avoid
a disastrous, war and, frankly his policy was more plausibly
likely to succeed than defunding the. Police it was the
least conceivable That hitler could be, appeased and That churchill is.
Wrong there is no universe in which defunding the police

(01:45:23):
would not make things, worse, or for that, matter destroying
nuclear power plants and relying On russian gas for. Power,
see every TIME i read, THAT i just want to
buckle out and just double over in. Laughter, yeah they did,
that and even buy More russian gas than they had
been given The ukrainians a military. Aid i've read that

(01:45:45):
fun fact earlier this morning as. WELL i, mean even
if that isn't, true they are feeding and Fueling russia's
ability to maintain some sort of army or weapons production or,
whatever because they aren't selling the gas at a. Loss.
DUH i, mean let that thought exercise work through your.
Head germany's over there just screaming their heads off while

(01:46:08):
With france and a bunch of Other European union. Countries
but we Need americans to help. Out we Need american missile,
power we Need american, military we Need American American, American,
American American american. Mayor, yeah you also need The american
military to protect your own damn. Borders and why do
we Need american military over there because of The. Russians

(01:46:28):
i've made this point About Chinese Communist. Party why the
hell do we trade so much for? Them why are
we inextricably intertwined with the Success china is. Having it
wasn't that way during The Soviet. Union we cut them
off and we did not trade with. Them did it
worked out to our? Advantage do you see The Soviet
union around? Anymore where the breadlines they, Had, yeah they

(01:46:50):
drove themselves into the, toilet and we didn't help. Them
we just didn't play fair with. Them most people don't know,
This but even Now i'm going back to the op
Ed germany has sent more money To russia during The
Ukraine war than To ukraine through gas. Purchases that was
the FACT i was trying to. FIND i thought it

(01:47:11):
was from another article notes From David strom's. Piece when
it comes to public, policy stated intentions are utterly. Irrelevant
what matters is whether things are made better or. Worse
so listen to that inner voice when you, think wait a,
second that can't be. RIGHT i brought it up in
the context Of Jack edvan in this comment about. Meritocracy

(01:47:35):
why would any family reject the concept of school choice
when the public schools in so many cities have not
delivered on the promise of. Education so many people are
graduating without even a basic ability to read or. Write
they went through SCHOOL k through twelve and they can't
manage college level. Material they have to take remedial math

(01:47:57):
and reading in order to participate in college where they're
paying what fifty six one hundred thousand dollars a year
for an education that they should have GOTTEN k through.
Twelve you don't want a choice away from that. Anybody
AND i try to jump into the mind of one
of these hardcore lefters who think that school choice is
a bad. Ideo oh my, god we're gonna end the

(01:48:17):
public school. System what are you getting from the public school?
System and advocates like me for school choice are not
telling you that we need to eradicate the school of public.
Schools maybe a good, idea but that's not. Me but
just the simple notion that you would have a choice
to send your kids someplace, else choose the public school
if you want. To i'm not trying to take it
away from. YOU i just want the playing field out

(01:48:40):
there to improve, it to include choices where your kids
are actually going to be held to a high risk
level of, responsibility a higher level of merit where they
will not move into the next grade unless they were
able to master the material in whatever grade they're curly.
In this is not to do a disservice to that.
Child oh my, god But johnny will feel bad he
can't move along with his. Peers, Well johnny should have studied.
Harder oh you're so. MEAN i Think, johnny upon, reflection

(01:49:09):
will be happy that he had to do the fourth
grade or the fifth, grader would have a grade over
again because it allowed him to succeed when he advanced
to the next grade level and not fail and fall
even further. Behind how can anybody be against? That get

(01:49:30):
throwing the whole idea of letting men play against women in.
Sports it's not. Fair it's not fair for the. Women
get a full on ran From Christopher smithman On monday about.

Speaker 4 (01:49:43):
THAT i, MEAN.

Speaker 1 (01:49:48):
I i'm just frustrated to the point of just boiling
over on these AND i just again going back to
Something i've been bringing up a lot. Lately AM i so?
Wrong AM i on the wrong side of my belief?
Systems in this? Regard do that Many americans really not

(01:50:09):
want options for their children in terms of their? Schools
do that Many american families with daughters really really want
their daughters to have to compete with? Men are there
that many people out in the world that really think
that plant food is killing us and that de industrialization

(01:50:33):
and cutting our own throats economically is a good? Thing
And i'm probably more of a minority opinion on that,
one since you've all been brainwashed into the religion of
global or climate. Change but you'll never be able to
convince me the carbon, dioxide as minimalist as it is
in our environment and a thing that keeps plants alive
is somehow bad for. Us there is a quite nefarious

(01:50:57):
element to. That and then the whole idea of round up.
Here i'll end with this one Because i'm already way
over AND i, Apologize. Joe the idea that it's bad
to remove people who have no lawful right to live
in our, country that have demonstrated themselves to be a
threat to our society by committing heinous. Crimes are all

(01:51:18):
those rioters in the street Of, minneapolis really desirous of keeping,
criminals child rapists and, murderers gang members who infiltrate our,
society and pedal drugs that are literally killing thousands and
thousands of people. Annually more people diet oh drug overdose

(01:51:42):
in this country than think, about Like, vietnam slightly less
than sixty Thousand americans, dead double that in drug. Deaths
are we really fighting to keep the peddlers of those
drugs in our? Country is that what we want one
as a? COUNTRY a twenty fifty FIVE krc the talk,

(01:52:05):
Station Judgement polton is coming. UP i hope you stick.
Around this is fifty FIVE karc An iHeartRadio.

Speaker 10 (01:52:11):
Station get ready For iHeartRadio icons With John Mellencamp.

Speaker 1 (01:52:16):
Gingram fifty FIVE karc the talk. Station it is eight
twenty three fifty FIVE krs the talk. Stations stick. Around
Judge Jennita polatana's kind a word or two about The
american police. State i'm sure he is maybe kind of

(01:52:41):
rub some people the wrong, way but that's. Okay LIKE i,
SAID i always enjoy hearing From judge Of. Polaitano food for,
Thought get this juices, flowing come up with legitimate legal
reasons why he's either right or. Wrong AND i don't
mind the contrary opinion here on the fifty FIVE Krc Morning.
Show ninety nine percent of the, Time i'm usually with
him being a little l liberty area THAT i. AM
i believe in freedom and, liberty things like, choice things

(01:53:04):
like choice becomes to our energy policies and of course our. Schools,
anyhow five two three Talk pound five fifty ON at
AND t. Phones i'm not quite sure WHERE i want to.
GO i gotta talk to him about the the the ice,

(01:53:24):
raids AND i think this might be an interesting conversation
going back to the leftists who disrupted The minneapolis worship
service over this past, weekend apparently Targeted Pete Heggs Death's,
washington d. C church as. Well we have the right
to free exercise or religion. Right we have the freedom of. Assembly,

(01:53:45):
yeah we have the right to free, speech and we
have private property. Rights AND i just kind of wonder
how you parse through protesters breaking into a religious service
and whether that is appropriate under any. CIRCUMSTANCES i think
moral and, Ethically i'm going to go with. NO i
also observe that if the protesters kicked in the front
door of a mosque and interrupted THE i mom while

(01:54:10):
doing A muslim religious, ceremony then probably you would get
outraged from the. Left nobody cares about The christians. Anymore
but doesn't a church have the right to control its
own property and its own. Environment doesn't the church have
the right to the free exercise of religion unimpeded by
protesters just kicking the door in essentially and disrupting that.
PROCESS i, mean IF i look at The First, AMENDMENT

(01:54:32):
i would think so So judge Of Paul kano on
that topic generally, speaking and a lot. More plus Doctor
Steven urbeck who's running For Congress district number. One, steve
he's going to join the program at eight forty. FIVE
i hope you can stick around to be right back

Next Chuck ingram on fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:55:37):
A thirty two to fifty ONE krcd talk. Station what
is it with going on With Judge. Napolatana our video
feed has, frozen suggesting that he's not hearing. ME i
didn't see a reaction of the comments A Chuck, ingram
so realize that that video is not. Working Joe chrucker
is busily trying to get him on the telephone so

(01:55:58):
we can actually have a conversation about The american police state. Arriving, So,
joe did you successfully Reach Judge. Ennapolitano, yes He Judgent.
Polaitano apologize to the technical. Difficulties this is two weeks
in a Row, man welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:56:13):
Back, no there are grandpons out there that do not
want you and me to see each.

Speaker 1 (01:56:18):
Other that is, true but we still get to, converse
and that's good enough for me because what you have to,
say the words are what's. Important ALTHOUGH i do like
to see your visage on the video. SCREEN i hope
you and your your your loved ones are all. Well Judgent,
politano welcome back to The Morning. Show we do the right.
Thing we have a freedom of, assembly we have free,
exercise we have the right to free, speech of, course

(01:56:42):
and we've got people ON i GUESS i would argue
both sides of the political ledger seeking to curb and
uh uh and take away our right to free. Speech
your take on This the column which comes out tonight
a mid That i'm happy to get an early copy of.
It The american police state has, Arrived Judge.

Speaker 2 (01:56:58):
Napolitano, well there are many aspects to, this but the
column just devotes itself to the freedom of speech, aspect
whereby the government is attempting to chill the free speech
that it hates and. Fears detectives showing up at a

(01:57:21):
lady's house because she accuses one of The president's favorite
members Of congress and hypocrisy a statement that is not,
violent absolutely protected speech and is none of the business
of the police. Whatsoever reporters home being raided by THE,
fbi not because they're reported did anything, wrong but because

(01:57:44):
the government wants her cell phone because she's communicating with
whistleblowers about the, government many of them about THE fbi,
itself and of course efforts to threaten the governor Of,
minnesota of Whom i'm not a, fan and the mayor
Of minneapolis a Liberal. Democrat but these people have the

(01:58:07):
same free speech rights as the rest of. Us you
are correct when you talk about rights. Clashing so when
freedom of worship flashes with free, speech which. Prevails now
here's a great. QUESTION i used to ask law, students

(01:58:27):
what's the first right protected in The First. Amendment every
hand goes up.

Speaker 5 (01:58:31):
And, says free, Speech no free exercise? Right, correct the
free exercise of. Religion this is what the courts would
do if they are splitting hairs when free speech and
free exercise, clash free exercise. Prevails so whatever happened in
that church the other day was absolutely wrong and criminal

(01:58:56):
for those people to enter the church to disrupt The
if you don't like the pastor because you, believe accurately or,
not that he's really an ice agent who can say
what you want about him in such a, manner, time,
place and manner as not to interfere with a religious
service going. On that's not what. Happened they disrupted the religious.

(01:59:19):
SERVICE i don't know if those people were arrested or.

Speaker 1 (01:59:21):
Not, RIGHT i understand THE dj is contemplating charges involving
something called The Face, act But i'm just glad you
definitely cleared that up for, me, because, AGAIN i, say
WHEN i responded to your email with passing along the,
Article i'm, thinking, Hmm we've got freedom of, assembly we've
got free, speech we've got free, exercise and then also
the right to the private property. ELEMENT i don't think

(01:59:42):
churches are considered public. Property the church still has control
over the property upon which it has the, service.

Speaker 6 (01:59:50):
Well the.

Speaker 5 (01:59:51):
CHURCH i don't know the law In, minneapolis but since
it is a liberal state Like New, Jersey i'm going
to guess the law as. COMPARABLE a church is a public,
accommodation so you do not have to be an adherent
to go, there but that does not give you the
authority to disrupt what goes on, there because your right

(02:00:16):
to disrupt is subordinate to the right of those gathered
there to worship as they see. Fit can you stand
outside and chant your opposition of what's being said? Inside
of course you, can but not in such a manner
as to interfere.

Speaker 6 (02:00:33):
With what's going on.

Speaker 5 (02:00:34):
Inside you, know it's the fascinating history. Here to give
me thirty. Seconds The Faith act is federal access access
to clinic. Entrances so in the early, nineties the Late
Senator Edward kennedy proposed legislation that would guarantee women access

(02:00:54):
to abortion. Clinics the only way he could get it
passed was that he threw in a, paragraph they're protecting
access to. Churches so if you look this thing, up
you'll find it under. Abortion it protects close abortion clinics
in churches in the same. Satch this is real.

Speaker 8 (02:01:18):
Only In.

Speaker 1 (02:01:19):
America that is really actually, comical.

Speaker 5 (02:01:23):
All.

Speaker 1 (02:01:24):
Right so you have perhaps criminal, activity perhaps bringing the
law by doing, that this sort of thing religious service
from being done in the name of protesting what's going In.
Minneapolis what of impeding a federal law enforcement officer doing
his or her. Job now you have on one hand
your argument for free, speech WHICH i. Embrace you, know
if the governor wants to say, something if the mayor

(02:01:44):
wants to say something he doesn't believe in ice he
thinks they should be, defunded they're entitled to that political.
Opinion they may suffer as a consequence of embracing, it
or it may help them out in the long. Run
but if you actually heed their, advice they are suggesting
that people should engage in disruption OF ice doing its.
Job so this seems immaterial to whether or not you
think there should be laws on the books ALLOWING ice

(02:02:05):
to enforce immigration, laws whether the immigration laws themselves are
appropriate or. Accurate but if they are engaged in legitimate
federal law, enforcement then it is a crime to interfere with,
them is it.

Speaker 5 (02:02:16):
Not but the crime is not committed by the, Speaker,
no the crime committed by the person who does the.
Interference you may argue that silently standing with your arms
folded in front of AN ice vehicle is a classic civil.
Disobedience it is because it's not. Violent you pay a

(02:02:37):
price for that civil, disobedience and that price is either
either a ticket obstructing the road getting out of the,
street or a prosecution for.

Speaker 6 (02:02:53):
Obstructing.

Speaker 5 (02:02:53):
Justice but the speaker who calls for, it you, know
the Case brandenburger happens not far from where you are.
Now the speaker who calls for this is absolutely. Protected
SO i don't know where the fens are going to
go subpoenaing the mayor and the. Governor first of, all
you don't subpoena the defendant in a criminal case of

(02:03:17):
dragging before the grand jury investigating. Him so maybe they've
subpoena their cell phones or their office. Records it's hard
for me to believe it's a subpoena for. Testimony, secondly
their speech is absolutely protected as long as there is.
Time you know the law as well AS i may
be better time for more speech to challenge. It so

(02:03:40):
if If Tim waltz Or Jacob price says go block
those ice, monsters as long as there's time For Pam
bondy Or christy noans to, say don't block the ice.
Monsters they're enforcing federal law and we will arrest you
if you block, them then the speech is. Protected if
there's no, time it's hard to. Believe but if there's

(02:04:02):
no time for countervailing, speech then the speech can be.

Speaker 1 (02:04:05):
Prosecuted, Now i'm not suggesting the necessarily have probable cause
for the, subpoenas but taking that to the next. Level
if these elected officials or even anyone out in the
world coordinates and encourages criminal activity on a coordinated. Basis
in other, WORDS i want you minions to go out
there and obstruct. ICE i want you to go out
there and block. ROADS i want you to go out.

(02:04:25):
There and they coordinated and fund it and even provide
goods and resources to help them accomplish that. Goal are
they not engaged in WHAT i would argue is subject
TO rico organized?

Speaker 2 (02:04:35):
Crime, WELL rico requires the accumulation of some of some.
WEALTH i, mean the lynchpin Of rico is to see
its wealth from. People BUT i don't think you need
to go TO. Rico if let's.

Speaker 5 (02:04:52):
Say the city handed out two by fours and gave
these demonstrators two by fours and they're standing in the
streets with the two by fours and they use them
to block the ice, vehicles, well then whoever handed out
the two by fours has engaged in a criminal conspiracy
to obstruct.

Speaker 6 (02:05:09):
Justice that is not.

Speaker 5 (02:05:11):
Speech if the city, says on the other, end go
stand in the street and make ice in their, keep
that speech is. Protected so speech plus is the issue
here depends on what the plus is.

Speaker 6 (02:05:24):
It.

Speaker 1 (02:05:24):
Does, indeed Judg Edital pulton judging, freedom is this podcast

(02:07:13):
and they'll have conversations with. People so my listening audits

in a candidate that wants some help on the streets
in the, Meantime, steven what you're a doctor of your, dentist,
right it's just a fourth. Generation you're really following with
the family. Practice there no doubt it's a good.

Speaker 4 (02:07:32):
THING i like, It.

Speaker 10 (02:07:32):
Brian and you know four generations of dentistry Downtown. Mason
my great grandfather started a practice in nineteen twenty. Six
so this year we've got one hundred years in our
business and we do have about ten or fifteen patients
have seen all four. Generations so our joke, is if
they got their, teeth we must be doing something.

Speaker 1 (02:07:49):
Right there you. GO i love that. Motto, now in
so far as your motive for running For, congress what's
pushing you in that, direction because that's not a road
i'd go. Down i'll be honest with, You, Steve, well
you're spot.

Speaker 10 (02:08:01):
ON i had a patient in a few weeks back
and he, said you, Know, steve you are going from
the second most disliked profession to.

Speaker 4 (02:08:07):
The first most dislike, profession from dentistry to. Politics AND i,
said thank you for the.

Speaker 10 (02:08:11):
Encouragement BUT i had a time back in college At
Ohio STATE i had the opportunity to intern On Capitol,
hill and that really was an eye opening.

Speaker 4 (02:08:18):
Experience he gave me that knowledge.

Speaker 10 (02:08:20):
Of how our federal government, works but also that passion
for policy and for public. Service and SO i stayed
involved with the dental associations and, pushed you, know for,
advocates for patients and for consumers of dentistry and all
the rest and our. Profession we went To washington in
twenty eighteen and worked on the opioid issue through The
Support patients in The act of twenty, eighteen and what
that did was kind of, decreased you, know increased the

(02:08:42):
regulations on opioid addictions because twenty, seventeen you, Know Southwest
ohio has hit really, hard and so we dropped those
regulations down where you, know on, average people were getting
seven days at prescriptions and navigating, three which is a
lot less likely that they would get hooked on opiates
and lead to you, know fentanyl addictions and the, rest.

Speaker 1 (02:09:00):
No question about. It, sadly a lot of people are
turning to the ones they find on the, streets which
are usually counterfeit contained fentanyl and will likely kill. You
so don't go down that road, Either, steve if you
had to choose a, topic AND i know you're into you,
know family, values affordable health, care clearly have an interest
in healthcare. Giving you're a, doctor our, dentists savor, communities
protecting the, country and housing, affordability all the issues right

(02:09:23):
there on your. Website if you had to pick a
reason your primary motivation for wanting to run For district
one In, congress what would it.

Speaker 10 (02:09:30):
Be it's to get back to, work dignified work in strong.
Families that's what we need in this. Country that's what's
built this. Country AND i feel, like you, know from the,
left you have a full attack on. That and As,
republicans that's what we need to be the party. Of
we need to stick up for the you, know the
young families that are trying to buy a, house get
ahead and live That american. Dream and my family AND
i we've been blessed to live that dream AND i

(02:09:51):
want that opportunity for, Others, Brian but we need the
leaders In. Washington they can deliver real, results and that
starts with small business. Owners that starts with people who
have been out, there who've done real, things who have
families and understand what's going. On in the first district you,
know through this, Process i've had the chance to speak
with thousands of voters across the first, district And i'm
starting to get a feel for what it is that's
important to. Them SO i looked At President, trump and you,

(02:10:12):
know the things that he got reelected. On the three
promises THAT i, Saw we're closing the southern. Border they
were addressing the crime and the cities and the Great
american cities we've, got and then tamping down the inflation
you know that was caused by The biden. Administration so you,
Know i'm big on the. ECONOMY i think we need
to breon shore jobs in Southwest. Ohio you look back
to the manufacturing base that Was ohio and the last

(02:10:33):
turn of the last century With Longworth hall and the
railway centers, there ak steel up In.

Speaker 4 (02:10:38):
MIDDLETOWN i, mean these are really good.

Speaker 10 (02:10:40):
Paying stable jobs for you, know middle Class americans that
led into That american. Dream and so we can bring
back to semiconductor, jobs we can bring back the pharmaceutical,
industries and that helps us with our national security purpose.

Speaker 4 (02:10:51):
There So i'm big on the.

Speaker 10 (02:10:52):
Economy i'm big on young families and getting people back into.

Speaker 1 (02:10:56):
Work and one of my favorite TOPICS i mentioned several
times this, morning BUT ip bring it, up the idea
of a quality. EDUCATION i believe in, flexibility AND i
struggle with the idea that there are families out there
with school age, children Say ky through, twelve that reject
the idea of choice when it comes to where their
children can go to. SCHOOL i cannot believe that that

(02:11:17):
is a popular. Concept what are you hearing when you're
out in the world asking about education and what potential
education reforms you have in, Mind, steve.

Speaker 10 (02:11:26):
That's spot, On. BRIAN i, mean you, KNOW i was
educated in public. SCHOOLS i went To mason all the way.
Through BUT i think it's really a different.

Speaker 4 (02:11:31):
TIME i, MEAN i have a young.

Speaker 10 (02:11:33):
Daughter she just turned, one and so she'll be school
aged soon enough BEFORE i know. It and me and
my wife AND i Are, catholic and we want her
to share those. Values and, so you, know you have
to have avenues for, people you, know families like ours
and other families who want to.

Speaker 4 (02:11:45):
Send their kids to.

Speaker 10 (02:11:46):
Schools they can use the money that they're, paying you,
know through tax fair dollars towards their kids'. Education and,
so you, Know i'm a big proponent of school, choice
AND i hear that a lot of folks are concerned
with the education that their kids are getting in the
public school. System and or you, know the kind of
indc a nation that's coming from the left there that
you know previously wasn't the case WHEN i grew.

Speaker 1 (02:12:03):
Up And Steve Irbek erbek For congress is where you
find them, Online erbek For congress Dot Com energy. Policy,
OBVIOUSLY i was talking To americans For Prosperities donovan earlier
about energy, policy The Speed, act and ways that we
can streamline the the energy generation and you, know maybe
fix our power line. Problems we have constantly increasing, demand

(02:12:24):
yet a bureaucracy that, refuses seemingly intentionally to allow us
access to, abundant reliable energy. Sources where are you on energy,
policy Mister, Irbek, well that's.

Speaker 10 (02:12:35):
RIGHT i mean you look At ohio and that's you,
know it's one of the large nation natural gas producers
in the, country and we have to you, know deregulate
what The abiden of The abiden administration threw up in
constant regulation that really hurt oil companies and exploration and
all the.

Speaker 4 (02:12:49):
Rest we need to open up those lands where we
do have that.

Speaker 10 (02:12:52):
PRODUCTION i really am kind of a free market capitalist
at heart and think the government should stay out, of you,
know the business of you, know the, economy and, LETS
i think people get back to doing their job because
that's what small business owners and big businesses do.

Speaker 4 (02:13:04):
Best it's drop prices for. Consumers and, so you, know
we've got to make sure that.

Speaker 10 (02:13:08):
These ev manmates and all those things that were, pushed you,
know in that administration really are cut back so that
the free market can get ahead of things.

Speaker 1 (02:13:15):
Well and the other issue that's really festering out there
given the well the interest rates, currently but they're dropping
down and they aren't nearly as bad as they were
when my wife AND i bought our first. House but
putting that, ASIDE i knew similar your energy policy viewpoints
are similar to your policies that encourage affordable, housing like responsible,
development reducing unnecessary, regulations and expanding housing, supply which comes

(02:13:39):
when you reduce unnecessary. Regulations AND i think about, this
AND i talk about your energy your housing. POLICY i
think About. California they have all those wildfires out, there
but they haven't even put out any permits to. Build
if they could find the, builders they're not making it
easy to. Build that's a nefarious, thing which standing in
the way of affordable. Housing not That california was really
ever Affordable steve.

Speaker 4 (02:14:00):
One hundred.

Speaker 10 (02:14:01):
PERCENT i, mean you, know the tough part is that
you need to cut these red tape regulations that have
stopped builders from being able to. BUILD i, mean back
in the, day you could afford to buy a, house
send your kids to, school sometimes on a single, job
on a single, income when you know a significant other
could raise the. Children and these, days for my, generation
that's becoming ever. Harder and what that does is it
delays family, formation that delays child. BEARING i, mean you know,

(02:14:23):
this but it's hard to raise four kids in.

Speaker 4 (02:14:25):
A one bedroom, apartment, Right.

Speaker 10 (02:14:26):
Brian so the hope is that we can get out,
there make the housing stock a lot bigger for this
next generation and also allow them that next shot at
The american. Dream for most, folks housing is you, know
their primary. Investment it's a buy in to The american.

Speaker 1 (02:14:40):
