Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know the practice of law where you hit other
people's money and financial interest and other interests at stake
when you're going to work every day. You know, surgeons
have people's lives in their hands. And well, we talk politics,
we talk human interest, We talk about a whole variety
of things in the fifty five Casey Morning Show, usually
not involving the loss of life. So computer issues can
be overcome. And when did they say they would fix it?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Russ?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
When they get to it, When they get to it,
all right, it's like what, yeah, go ahead test the phones?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Like when would they let us know that the.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Fifty five cars dot com no longer works anymore? Now
it's fifty five casee dot iHeart dot com, which is
where you stream the audio or get your iheartbeatia app
or get the podcast of the conversations turing the fifty
five case Morning Show today coming up. It does work,
though it doesn't it, Russ. Someone just called in and yeah,
thank you whoever the caller was just called it. Thank
you appreciate that you helped us test the system this morning.

(00:52):
We'll see how long it holds up. Bring the mccow
and coming up, our our energy expert bring mccount from
Hudson and stew He'll be on at seven oh five
talking about energy, energy and bring them up be in studio,
follow by as is typically the case on a Tuesday,
Tom Zawastowski from We the People Convention dot org, followed
by as is the case on a Tuesday, The Inside
Scoop a bright Bart News Today, Colin Maydin comes on.

(01:13):
Were talking about current events and a variety of them
are including where's Mitch McConnell. That's a legitimate question, apparently,
and some suggested just the other day that he's praying dead.
Now I get to that in a minute, but I know, jokingly,
you could made the argument that prior to his most
recent health episodes, And I'm not going to be making

(01:35):
fun of Mitch McConnell being in the hospital or in
whatever state he is in, given that his people really
aren't providing any additional information on it.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
No one.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I wouldn't wish poor medical health or health issues on anybody.
But so I'm questioning Mitch McConnell's voting record. That's where
I'm going with the cognitive decline that seems to have
been evidence prior to his entering the hospital. That's all
columnade on at eight h five to follow by the
Daniel Davis A deep dive, and of course this morning
on you Know You're widely reported Trump said there's going

(02:07):
to be a deal with Iran or we'll finish the job.
I don't even know what that means. We are either
going to make a deal or we're going to finish
the job. Okay, I'm reading the quote, and it won't
be tough to finish the job. I'd rather make a
deal because I don't want to affect ninety one million people.

(02:28):
We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We
can knock out their energy supply. They don't have any
money now, we haven't given them any money. And that's
what he had to say about it. Maybe Daniel Davis
can answer the question like, well, if finishing the job
or we can quickly finish the job. I guess one question,

(02:49):
what does that mean? What will we accomplished by knocking
down the bridges and knocking out their power? Is at
the end of it, they still have I guess ninety
one million people and a lot of them armed revolutionary
guards and all boots on the ground going to be required.
Still have their drone factories, and you know, Daniel Davis
has pointed out many times and obviously given the massive

(03:10):
quantities of call them defensive, call them offensive, whatever a
drone happens to be under any given circumstances. They have
a ton of those, as well as other military resources
that haven't been blown up, mobile rocket launchers, any you know,
embedded supply somewhere in some mountain cave, rockets and and
and missiles and the like. So will the straight of

(03:33):
horror moves be open if we blow up the bridges?
Will the nuclear program be ended? I don't know what
that means. And of course, Iran, responding their Supreme National
Security Council, Mohammad Baker zall Kard missing a vow in

(03:54):
there looks like to me anyway, referred to Donald Trump's
that as delusional, saying Iranians are unfamiliar with the language
of threats, So speak to the Iranian people with respect,
otherwise we will respond in another language. Well, how they
talked past each other? Now, this, of course on the

(04:17):
heels of the Kamani funeral. And he got a wonder
they keep that guy on ice for the last several months.
Was he in a freezer somewhere. Are they going to
claim that he didn't decompose even though he was not
EMBALMD and otherwise frozen and therefore he's eligible for sainthood
or something.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Anyway, they just buried the guy over the weekend, and
of course many people observing that the Iranians appeared to
be acting in a very defiant, united and determined way,
at least visably the United States and its position relative
to the war. So talk they are doing, and again
we've seen to be in the state of flock. So
we'll at least get Daniel Davis to comment on that.

(04:56):
So there we have it. That's today Rundown anyway. Mitch
McConnell over to Laura Lumer. Conservative activist Laura Lumer also
along with journalist Desiree Towns and claiming yesterday that Mitch
McConnell's been to Claire braindead. She wrote a Lumer wrote
he an accent record of the senior source that she

(05:19):
was close to the White House McConnell had been to
Claire braindad and was not expected to recover.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
High level source close to the White House tells me
Mitch McConnell is officially braindead.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
He's not coming back.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
And then and so far as Desiree Townsend journalist, she
reposted that post saying that she had heard the same
thing from her own independent sources, also claiming McConnell's Capitol
Police detail was still at the hospital.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I've heard the same thing from my sources for days
at this point at the hospital for which they eventually
decided to cut him off of life support and move
his body. His Capitol police detail is still here as
of three thirty nine pm ET. That was yesterday, so
it was widely reported he went to the hospital of
June fourteenth. Now in response to the statements from Lunar

(06:08):
and Townsend and others swirling around on the internet that
he has brain dead, spokesman for McConnell said, Senior the
Senator continues to improve in the hospital and is working
closely with his staff on quote Kentucky and Senate matters
while the Senate is out of session. Statement went on,
Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he's receiving while

(06:29):
he continues recovering in the hospital. He continues to improve,
He's working close to his staff and I've been okay,
got that fine. So he's remained hospitalized for nearly three weeks,
this after the medical emergency that took him to the
hospital in June fourteenth. Office said last Thursday that the
senator he's eighty four, continues to improve. Office has not

(06:52):
disclosed what prompted McConnell's hospitalization, what treatment he's receiving, or
whether he's expected to return when the Senate reconvenes July thirteenth.
That's recorded reporting from the Associated pressing in the New
York Times. They haven't said why he's hospitalized, so when
they asked yesterday for additional information, given the swirling rumors

(07:12):
going around about him being brain dead or dead or whatever,
the mcconeld spokesperson referred reporters back to the prior statement,
which doesn't provide any information whatsoever why he's been hospitalized
of what his current state is other than this suggestion
that he's recovering and whatever. Working closely on important issues
means so. Originally, NBC News had reported that the dispatch

(07:38):
audio from June fourteen should responders sent to an address
associated with McConnell. The Times reported that later radio traffic
referenced CPR in Progress. Neither reports specifically the electronic reports
from the various EMS units and didn't say anything about
McConnell's specifically, and I don't think they would anyway. McConnell's office, though,

(07:59):
has declined to comment on those emergency communications, despite reports
from multiple news organizations that in fact those are the
communications among the EMS and another personnel. So the intentionally
are seemingly cagy. Nature of mcconnell' spokespeople about where he
is on the spectrum of you know, from I suppose

(08:19):
dead to perfect health has fueled the fire as they
typically do, or as quick as silence typically does in
the modern age in which we live, leading people to
conclude that maybe he's brained dead.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
I would suggest he probably is still with us, but
to what degree remains unknown. Now a problem is Republicans
need his vote to help overcome Democratic opposition. His absence
obviously is a real problem given the narrow majority of
the Senate has and important votes that might come up.

(08:54):
Timing is literally everything, and McConnell has been one of
the thorns in the side for the Republicans and voting
against for example, the save Act. So I'll let you decide,
in the swirling nature of the Internet and rumors that
you might come up with or otherwise create, whether or
not his absence has any connection with his controversial votes,
at least insofar as the save actor is concerned. There

(09:15):
go ahead, Fester on that one five, one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three
talk con Fi fifty on your AT and T found
it's time to engage the computers again, Russ. Let's see
what happens. Don't go away, folks. There is your ten

(09:37):
to nine first morning weather forecast. Partly cloudy sky is
today slight chance of storm just slight eighty six degrees
with the high tonight if you partly cloudy and a
low of sixty eight. Partly cloudy again tomorrow it's body showers.
Look slightly better chance tomorrow. They say eighty six for
the high. Partly cloudy every night, sixty eight and a
dry Thursday with the highest seventy degrees.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Right now it is seventy degrees.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Five.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Care see the talk station.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I didn't get any bumper music this morning, Russ. It's okay, man,
You know he's pleading with the computer screen as if
that's gonna do anything. Yeah, if it had tubes in it,
maybe you could bash on it a little bit and
get it and get it fired. There you go. Somewhere
out in the world. There is a person that is

(10:26):
supposed to fix this. I suggested to Russ maybe he
should contact Punjab or something. Five eight hundred eight two
three talk pound fifty pound five fifty on your at
and t fund. Use all to help. We can get
this morning anyway. Yes, United States lost yesterday to Belgium.
Belgium responded overturn this obviously a reference to Donald Trump

(10:50):
getting the red card removed from a Florien Bowl logan
the American, Uh, your US World Cup player didn't help
him to have flogging back in the on the on
pitch yesterday. I suppose pretty significant defeat there. So Belgian's
having a good day at that. And apparently the European
World Cup fans are learning about American pricing and stadiums.
How about Donald Trump starts screaming at stadiums about their prices.

(11:12):
I know, Walmart just lowered their price of beef like
fifteen percent, apparently at Donald Trump's request. It kind of
rubs me the wrong way. Are we going to rely
on presidential requests in order to get prices? And you
know that doesn't address the underlying problem of the price
of beef. It is the dwindling cattle herd were the
lowest cattle head numbers and since like the nineteen fifties
or something like that. Don't quote me on that, but

(11:33):
it's extraordinarily low, most notably at a time when RFK
junior is suggested we all increase our protein consumption. So
meet on the rise at least in terms of demand
price all the way through the roof.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
You got the.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Screwfly thing going on down there in the southern border.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
That's a problem.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
The price of fertilizer has gone through the roof thanks
to the closing of the straight of Horn Mouz. Obviously,
fertilizer leads to plants growing, which leads to feed. For now,
it's all interconnected and of course a very complicated world.
But Walmart obviously deciding that well, you know, we're gonna
go ahead and eat into our profit margins in order
to well maybe give the American people a little relief,

(12:15):
and they're entitled to do that. So was it because
of Donald Trump's request that the prices got lowered, or
was it because Walmart wanted to prove itself to be
a at least an understanding seller of products, giving us
a little relief there. But I was troubl when Donald
Trump said he was going with the oil companies for

(12:36):
the price of oil, when of course the straight h
Hormves closure led to the global price of oil going up,
that they didn't have any direct control over that, it's
a global commodity. Then he said it was going to
go after the gasoline retailers. You're your local, privately owned,
independent gas station operators. I don't know that they had
any control over it. They can put the price at
whatever they want supply and demand if there's a cheaper

(12:56):
price of gasoline around the corner, and quite often there
is drive there. But is there potentially a Department of
Justice claim for monopolies at stadiums that you and I
paid for? How much is the cost for a beer
over at paycor It's like twelve bucks? Yeah, And as

(13:19):
reporting on this points out, you have a two liter
bottle of cocover at Walmart. Speaking of Walmart's about three
bucks nine dollars for a sixteen ounce bottle of Coca Cola.
Some online person was complaining about seven dollars for a
bottle of water, pivoting over the Walmart price for thirty
two bottles of Dasani water four dollars and ninety eight cents. Yeah,

(13:42):
so you can get basically two thirty two packs at
Designy for the price of one single bottle of water,
especially noting that the heat wave is obviously across the
United States of America. Be a little hot watch one
of these these matches. You might need a bottle of water.
Sucks to be you. I bet they even have about
you bringing in your own beverages, which again goes back

(14:03):
to my point about stadium monopolies. Over at Sofi Stadium
in La, twenty three dollars for barbecue brisket nachos, twenty
bucks for what they call a chopped brisket burrito. Those
are described as hoach Cuisine also reported something called a
Twinkie cheeseburger coming in at twenty two dollars. Let us

(14:27):
see here back into Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, we're charging
nineteen dollars for a single cocktail, twenty seven dollars for
a double also sixteen dollars and fifty cents for a
singular beer one.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
You know, the fans noted though that in.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Spite of the pride, the fact that these prices are
just absolutely unconscionable usurus monopoly pricing, it's not stopping them
from buying ah. And therein lies the beauty of the
inability of you to take in your own beverage or
food into a stadium. They know you're gonna get hungry,

(15:03):
They know you're gonna get thirsty, and they know that
probably some mobbed up service provider that is responsible for
the exclusive contract to provide beverages and food at the
stadium will charge whatever the hell they want. And would
someone please call on to the extent you know this
inside information, what slice of that action? For example, locally

(15:23):
here pay cord did the Brown family get during Bengals games.
They got to get a slice of concessions, right, it's
they got to So where's the iyre The Europeans can
complain about seven dollars water, maybe the folks that are
Bengals fans can complain about comparable pricing throughout the year.

(15:46):
By twenty five right now, fifty five k see the
talk Station five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight
two three, talk on fifty eight and T funks as
we struggle with testy computer problems. This morning should be
interesting anyway, got local stories coming up or phone calls.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Either way we go. That's where we're going to go.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Be right back fifty five the talk station.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Life's financial goals. Don't wait.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
You have a nine first forty one forecast going up
to eighty six degrees today, well, partly cloudy and just
a slight chance of storms overnight, partly cloudy, sixty eight
Tomorrow partly cloudy again, a little bit better chance of
body showers eighty six for.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
The high overnight little sixty eight with partly cloudy sky.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Is on a mostly dry Thursday, seventy degrees then it
is currently seventy fifty five KERCD talk station.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Where's my bumper music? Man?

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Of course?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Well, slow out of the gate, that's all. Is it
taking bribes or something? I refuse to play the bubber
music unless it's FIFA, as I learned from russ Apparently
FIFA demanded that the like the stadium name the name stadium,
the corporate sponsors pony up a whole bunch of additional

(17:23):
jacked even to have their stadium mentioned in play by
play commentary, and most of all of them just raise
their collective middle figure and said no, So they're not
referring to the stadiums by their their corporate name. They're
just referring to them as the what city they happen
to be located in, even if they're not located in
the city that they're referred to. So, yeah, I didn't
I didn't do the same thing. You know, where in

(17:44):
the hell does it say that I got to pay
more to FIFA just because I got two words for you, FIFA,
and it ain't happy birthday. Let's see what Tom's got
this morning. Tom, thanks for calling it a very happy
Tuesday to you.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Capitalism is a great thing, isn't it. Yeah, it is
all these countries that complain about the United States and
all that, and yet they got no problem with jumping
in the game trying to make some money.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, so whatever, whatever, Hey, you know what, I f
have new sympathy. How much did they pay to get
a ticket to the game?

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Right?

Speaker 5 (18:17):
You know?

Speaker 4 (18:18):
I know how much I paid? Zero?

Speaker 1 (18:20):
That's why, you know what, that's why there's no much's
there's not much revolt over the price of the beverages
and fooded stadiums in spite of the fact that the
taxpayer dollars built the damn things. They can charge her
they want, because no one has any sympathy for people
who can afford to go to the games in the
first place.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
That you, I think you pretty much nailed it on
the head right there.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
There's no collective outrage. What do you mean you just
paid one hundred and fifty dollars for a seat over
the Bengals game in the nosebleed section. I don't care
if you can't afford a twelve and a half dollars beer.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Can't gonna feel sorry for you or start up a
go fund Me page for you. Now you're you're the
idiot who's decided to go ahead and pay this right
right for you.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
We common clay, We're just going to go to the
local bar where we have fifteen jumbo tron screens and
can sit and drink, you know, more reasonably priced beers,
hanging out with our friends with better bathroom accommodations and
cheaper food.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Right And it's just that little testy thing called common sense.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Have a better time whatever.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Well, I mean, these people know that there's enough people
out there willing to further money around them. You know,
I go on vacations and do things, and I'm not
saying I'm not willing to spend some money on stuff.
But what I spend my money on is is what
I like and the things I like to enjoy.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
So I agree that's that's.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
The beauty of this country. I'm not going to say
I do everything as cheaply as possible.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, Tommy, it is the nature of capitalism.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
And I'm not suggesting that it's wrong for someone to
decide that they want to go to a Bengals game
or any other games FIFA game if they want, and
spend that kind of money. The only problem is it's
not really that component I suppose as a market force
supplying demand on tickets. So yeah, you got to pay
a thousand dollars for a ticket that might be four
hundred dollars face found, because that's supplying to man. But
once you're out in the stadium, they've taken the supply

(20:09):
and they've interrupted it because they've created a essential monopoly.
There is no competition against the vendors in the stadium.
So you know, I listen, somebody else might make that argue.
I'm just I'm just thrown it out there for you know,
just the sake of just discussion.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yeah, and you and once you're in there, you're kind
of a sort of a captive audience.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, you are.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
You can't you can't just walk across the street, you know,
and get whatever you want to come back in the
stadium with it. Yeah, but you know that. But you
know that when you buy the ticket before you walk in,
you're you're fully aware of the condition. So really, you
got nothing to gripe about that is you are? I mean,
the only way to gripe is this stand. Just don't go,
don't go get the beer, you know or whatever. Just

(20:55):
that's the only way you can make a stand on
something like that. Get drunk, me, That's how capitalism war.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Tom will do that, Tom, But you just get drunk
in the parking lot where they built giant accommodations for
tailgating at taxpayer expense.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Sure there, If that's what you want to do, go
ahead and hopefully you're able to walk all the way
into the ballpark and find your way to your seat,
and uh, you know, that when when that buzz.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Wears off, you know, yeah, that's a problem.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Start to fall.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Problem, just his first world problem. Probably, Yeah, I mean,
I just I always go back to if you're a
taxpayer in a particular state or county or whatever, that
you know that you're you're not only did we help
build this thing with our taxes, but we're continuing to
fund it. Then there should be something written in there

(21:48):
where hey, we get we get something at we get
to go to a game where like the zoo. How
much money goes to the zoo. I think every I
think every handle, the county residence should get at least
one free day at the zoo. You know we're paying
for that, you know, stuff like that. I mean that
would be helpful. But you know, like I said, you
know going in what you're getting, so you really, really

(22:08):
you don't have much to complain about. It's kind of
like people that vote Democrat. You know what you're doing
going in, and you're going to do it anyway, and
you really got nothing to complain about. So best thing
to do is just don't vote Democrat. I have a
great day.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
You do the same, Tom. Yeah, if you don't go
vote you have nothing to complain about that for people
to plan on sitting it out. That's a favorite topic
of miound of lad and I will continue that drum
beat all the way through November. Just letting you know
in advance we'll at least get one local story in
because Christopher Smith have been talked about it yesterday to
the Smith event. Yes, the Cincinni Fire Department Assistant chief

(22:41):
is going to be reinstated. Former Cincinni Fire Department Assistant
Chief Sherman Smith getting a job back. This is a
year after the department first investigated Smith for sharing confidential information.
Spokesman Molly Lair for the City of Cincinnati said he
partially won his arbitration, which I suppose is accurate. Arbitrator
decided to reinstate Smith, but as a district chief instead

(23:03):
of his former assistant chief position. That is a demotion.
Arbitrator said he must be reinstated within the next thirty days.
Department also ordered to rescind his termination, take it out
of his record and convert it to a demotion. And
other than the reinstate statement, he's also got his back
payback as well as benefits from the date of his
termination to the data reinstatement. Smith a thirty year veteran

(23:26):
fire department employee and widely respected, at least from all
the reporting that was done on and spokesman with the
fire department said Smith was under investigation in July twenty five.
Firefighters Local Union forty eight said neither the union nor
Smith was given any details about the nature of that investigation,
and months later he was terminated in November twenty five.
The department did not disclose what the investigation was about

(23:49):
and what may have been discovered. Sounds a lot like
police Chief DJing. Sounds a lot like police chief or
fire Chief Washington. Doesn't it just firing him without any
specific reason. The investigation began in twenty five June twenty five,
when confidential information was shared during a fire command staff
meeting was believed to have been shared with people outside

(24:11):
of the meeting. Smith did confirm to investigators that he
forwarded multiple emails to his wife's email and email to
former Chief Washington that included correspondence with current fire Chief
Frank McKinley Local forty eight president Joe Elliott. Internal investigations
captain ed Wallison. Members of the city's law department also
he forwarded multiple documents, including the results from the Cincinnti

(24:32):
Fire Department climate assessment, investigation, reports from the Law Department,
and results of an open complaint. Now the reports suggest
Smith or assessment told officials he did not view any
of the correspondents or documents as confidential and said no
documents were connected to Washington's ongoing wrongful termination lawsuit against
the city. When interviewed, Smith quoted as saying he shared

(24:53):
them with Washington because he trusted Mike. Washington's judgment also
include and many records smiths forward to his wife's email,
he told investigators, and he did that so he could
access these emails outside of work. And I understand this
firewalls that businesses have put in anyway. Court to the report,
the arbitration reports Smith violated multiple policies, including those regarding

(25:15):
information security, computer operations, and ethical conduct. Arbitrator's decision acknowledged.
In the arbitrator's decision, they did acknowledge the Fire Department
had the right to discipline Smith, but they did not
agree that they should have terminated him, citing his long
storied career with the fire department. Arbitration Ward says while
it had just caused to discipline the grievance. The employer

(25:38):
did not have just caused to discharge him since. A
spokesperson issued a statement saying the arbitrator's decision vindicates the
city's previous previous discipline of Smith for knowingly violating city policies.
Well maybe partially anyway. Spokesperson also said the city is
continuing to review the arbitrator's decision and will determine its

(25:59):
next apps, which I suppose is putting them back in
a job. Five thirty seven fifty five KRC, The talk

of naturism and body positivity. Running Yesterday through Sunday, you

(27:43):
have a full week of nudity. They encourage shedding inhibitions
along with clothes, promoting a natural and liberating lifestyle. Join
the movement by visiting a naturist resort, learning about the community,
or simply embracing self acceptance. There's that community word again,

(28:04):
the community. It's a contextual kind of statement, isn't it.
Welcome to the nudest community. Join in the fun and
you should expect Nude Recreation Week deals. They note that well,
Nude Recreation Week doesn't typically feature retail sells. It is

(28:24):
a prime time for promotions from naturist resorts, wellness retreats,
and outdoor recreation providers. According to the Platform Guide for
Nude Recreation reek over at Instagram, share scenic photos from
nature's friendly locations or body positive messages emphasizing respect and freedom.
TikTok film short tasteful videos promoting body acceptance or showcasing

(28:48):
naturist resort activities and etiquette. Imagine if you were at
a naturist resort, they probably frown on people walking around
with a video camera. I'm just saying that will be
my guest over at a joint discussions on the benefits
of naturism, and share articles on body liberation and community events.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
What is God's Holy name? Are you blathering about? Amen?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
For individuals, visit a local natureist club a resort, simply
enjoy clothing optional time in a private, safe space like
your backyard. Hey, I suppose that depends on the view
from your neighbor's yard into your yard. Okay, focus on
the freedom connecting nature and self acceptance. For creators, you
should produce content that tafe tastily educates about naturism, debunks myths,

(29:35):
or shares personal journeys of body acceptance and liberation. Emphasize respect,
consent and community guidelines. Consent, that's a problem graand Platner
has an issue with Yet and yet again they're shocked
to find out Grand Platner is a bad guy. They
just got the memo. We're gonna get more details on
that later. Let's see here they actually have a full

(29:57):
history of nude recreation reach a Recreation Week, noting that
nude beaches became popular in America in the nineteen sixties
and seventies. You know, businesses you can celebrate Nude Recreation
Week as well, celebrated by promoting body positivity and other
offering experiences that align with the natureist lifestyle. I don't

(30:20):
even know what that is. Wellness centers and spas could
host body acceptance workshops or other discounts. I don't want
to go to a club where a bunch of people
are working out naked, you know, like the squat machine
and all that.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh yeah, Celebrate in your pool. Can't go to a beach,
no problems, stripped down. Go skinny dipping in your own
swimming pool jacuzzi. You can also invite some friends over
to join it. These are not my suggestions, by the way,
Celebrate inside your house if you aren't comfortable being naked
in public considered simply not wearing clothes at home. You
can spend your entire day in your birthday suit without

(30:56):
feeling hot in the summer sun and attend a nudist party.
Flag celebrate Nude Recreation Week in style by attending a
nudist party. It's a great way to meet like minded
people and truly feel comfortable in your own skin.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, well, apologies for the delights books.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
This is going to be an ongoing problem until someone
out in somewhere out in the world it fixes the computers. Yeah, okay,
back to the stack of stupid. Why not we get
one or two stories in the remaining time we've got here.
Given the pauses. Uri Geller remember the shyster that used
to bend spoons back in the day, completely debunking For
whatever reason, he still actually gets pressed and he's in
the stack of stupid this morning, because he is a

(33:16):
generally stupid man, he claimed. The other day he used
supernatural a supernatural alien crystal skull to help England win
the World Cup quarterfinals. Hey, yeah, According to Geller, it
was intergalactic intervention. He's seventy nine, he said. The extraterrestrial

(33:36):
secret weapon he deployed to secure England spot in the
quarterfinal corner finals against Norway, the relic, he said, which
could I love that word, which suggests it could not
could even be of alien origin, was discovered telepathically by
me many years ago, hidden deep inside of Mayan Pyramid.

(33:59):
I plan to harness it's supernatural energies to see England
through the quarterfinals. Look, I am no miracle worker nor profit,
but I will do my best to achieve my goal.
I definitely lifted the curse. Well, congratulations. You don't want
to give England any credit for winning that game, now,
do you?

Speaker 3 (34:15):
He claims.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
He's constantly beaming positive energy and optimistic vibrations. Into the
brain of the England players, acting as a cosmic shield
against the rest of the world. He said, I believe
England can gather an invincible power together with the fans
and go to win. But at the end of the day,
I am only a human being with strong psychic powers. Yeah,

(34:38):
you're also full of yourself and you're insane. Anything for
a buck, I guess it's seventy nine. He doesn't have
a real job. He's got to do something And Okay,
this is terrible, but we'll go ahead and give her
the award in spite of the fact we probably can't
play the award today. Welcome to the biggest duche of
the award winner. Today, we have a toddler who suffered horrific

(34:59):
injuries and to his brain and hearing loss after being
tossed up into the air and dropped onto the ground
by a daycare worker. Documents reveal that the twenty three
month old c K getting playfully swung in his arms
into the air by an employee of the Bay Club

(35:21):
Bay Club Clubhouse in El Segundo, California. Images in the
documents of the toddler well above the alleged employee's had
before she's unable to catch him and both crashed to
the ground. Hid his head during the fall, began hysterically
crying while other adults in the room looked on. This
is in the lawsuit. Of course, fall resulted in traumatic
brain injury, hearing loss for the young boy barely father

(35:45):
dropped off the kid at eight thirty in the morning,
and the day of the incident when they went to
the Manhattan Country Club, where he enjoyed I guess around
a golf I don't know, excited the membership. It's quite
expensive there anyway, the mom received a call from the
Bay Club stating that the child had fallen. It had
since calmed down. Staff members said she didn't think they
needed to pick the child up, but wanted them to

(36:06):
know the incident took place corner of the lawsuit. Fifteen
minutes later, the daycare center callback said this child needed
to be picked up and stated they had not been
able to settle her down.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Or him down.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Big Club gave Kittle the impression that ck the child
had only sustained a minor injury. Right of the face
was badly bruised, right eyes swollen shut, his mouth was swollen.
On arriving home, the child extremely drowsy, lethargic, and irritable.
By eleven thirty, the child checked into the er at
the hospital for evaluation of blunt head trauma. Diagnosed with

(36:36):
traumatic brain injury. Disputing the toddler had only one and
a half feet, requested video of the incident, saw that
their boy was at least six feet in the air
when he fell. That's what the employees had told him. Oh,
he's only a little bit high in the air anyway.
Loss suit of ledges the club is not licensed by
the California Department of Social Services, improperly claims it's exempt

(36:56):
because parents are made on the premises while their children
are supervised, when clearly they are not asking for monetary
damages and accused the Bay Club of negligence, battery, fraud,
and emotional distress.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Who is? Yes, you are?

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Who's taking care of your children? Five fifty seven and
fifty five KRC detalk station. Plenty of eclectic things going
on in a six o'clock hour. Calls would be quite
welcome and uh hey, look, Graham Plattner's a scumbag, shocking
no one to be right back.

Speaker 8 (37:26):
Celebrating two hundred and fifty years of the iHeartRadio wappor
they give or take a few years.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
He basically raped her for them to step up and
go maybe it is bad. If a Republican had said this,
they would say, oh, it's all made up. Hashtag me too,
except for Republicans.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Everybody's worried about the future of Democratic mains. Senator Canada
Graham Plattner. Now what are they going to do with them?
They only have a couple of days and they can
replace him like Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden. Main Resident
Jenny Rasicott. I think that's how you pronounce it, r
ac I coot. She's forty one. Speaking with Politica who
broke the article. Over the course of three interviews, Plattner

(38:15):
forced her to have sex five years ago against her will.
Now Plattner ultimately denied this, of course, he did report
says that that a man Racicott dated right after this
incident occurred. Confirmed she told him about the incident contemporary
ex contemporary community a contemporaneous communication. So it happened five

(38:37):
years ago, and she told people when it happened that
it happened around the time it happened. That's supportive of
her case. Also, apparently she talked to this about with
her therapist about this too independent corroboration emails between her
and her therapist at the time. She alleges this happens,

(38:58):
that's concerning to all the Democrats who had thus far
been supporting this miserable excrement. She said, I remember him
grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me. Allegedly,
she said it took place when Platner was almost blackout drunk. Yeah,

(39:18):
he had previously blamed women who drink too much for
being well molested by men. If I recall roughly what
he said in one of his more disgusting posts that
no one seemed to be bothered by in the Democratic
camp up in Maine, she said, I thought to myself
at the time, this is no longer my choice. She
said in the report that one of the reasons she
did not come forward until now because of the in

(39:40):
her words, huge moral conflict that she had between her
support for Platiner's politics and not supporting him as a person.
I just want the truth out there. I just want
the people to have a whole scope of who he
is as a person. In a statement of Politico Platinum response,
these allegations are troubling, serious and false. Any accusation of

(40:06):
non consensual behavior is categorically untrue.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
It's easy for him to say.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Although he canceled all of his campaign events over the
weekend preceding the release of the Politico reporting about this
woman's allegations, I guess he got advance word that this
was coming out. And oddly enough, it was reported that
one Main resident at least put a post up on Acts,

(40:31):
and I understand one person one statement on Acts, whether
it's true or not, claimed that they received a survey
right before the political article about this was released, asking
about a replacement candidate for Platner. Survey said, you know,
some have suggested the Democrat Brian Bryant would step in
or place Platner on the ballot. Ask respondents to answer

(40:52):
who they'd vote for between Collins and Bryant. Labor union
official about Main's elections and about Main's election laws. No
indication of who was sponsoring the text in the survey,
But they were thinking about it, and now they're really
thinking about it. So he's going to reflect on this.

(41:14):
So regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, he said,
but mindful of the political reality. In other words, the
massive baggage I had already brought to the table threatening
the election by all of my previous conduct. Coupled with
this one, Wow, I guess I better pay attention to
the political reality. We he and the mouse in his

(41:35):
pocket are taking time to reflect on the best path
forward for the state that I love, the people that
I love, the movement I belonged to in the goal
of defeating Susan Collins. He said, those were the goals
when we launched this campaign, and they remain my goals today.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Some had claimed that he canceled the event in one
of the events in Maine because he was not feeling well,
which led to others to speculate about what was going on, Well,
what is going on? People are dumping him like a
bad habit. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's and the Senate
Democrats campaign chair Christin Gillebrand, both in New York, in

(42:18):
a joint statement call the allegations incredibly disturbing, said Platner
needed to step aside immediately to give the party a
chance to select a new candidate. Leadership of the main
Democratic party also called on him to withdraw ooh, they're
piling up pivoting over. Former allies, including Senator Elizabeth warn

(42:38):
Of Massachusetts Representative Roe Conna California, have also said he
should drop out of the race now, in spite of
the fact Conna had rallied with a platinir days after
a woman had accused him of abuse in early June,
and others also described volatile behavior in the relationships. Yeah,
but they weren't Democrats, so they had no credibility. No
hashtag me too for them. I suppose they also ignored

(43:01):
his main tattoo and his online very sophomoric post.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
He was a troll.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
I mean, a grown man documented to be apparently in
his thirties at the time. He's online being an absolute
thirteen year old acting troll. This is the guy you
want to elect as a senator. This is the best
you can bring to the table. My friends in Maine,
it never made any sense to me, and yet that's
who got That's who got voted into the primaries. Going

(43:31):
back to my oft repeated line, you gotta show up
to the primaries and vote, or the small minority that
show up, are gonna elect maybe someone who's crazy and
a demonstrably terrible candidate. Peggy Shaeffer form vice chairman of
the state Democratic Party. I think we're all concerned, even

(43:54):
if this is untrue, even if it's a false allegation,
that this becomes the conversation for the foreseeable future. Where
does his momentum go? How does that impact the rest
of the ticket. This stuff spills downhill? Ah, it's the
ruboff effect. If people aren't going to go in and

(44:15):
vote for Graham Plattner because he's a demonstrably sick, twisted individual,
then they're not going to get up and vote for
all the other Democrat candidates on the main ballot.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
Oo ooh.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Collins and her statement call the allegations appalling, but she
didn't comment on what should happen next. In her words,
it's not up to me to choose the Democratic nominee
for Senate. Yeah, but you'll go out and support him
as loud as you can until something like that. This
hits the fan now, as is widely reported and understood,

(44:46):
a path for Democrats to gain four seats to the
Senate they need to win Maine. Susan Collins the only
GOP senator seeking reelection in the state that did vote
Democrat in the twenty twenty four presidential election. So she
is is described as and is believed to be one
of the most vulnerable Republicans in the Senate. So, you know,

(45:10):
enjoy the shodenfreud of folks. This guy should have never
been considered as a candidate in the first place. And
it just gets worse and worse. But they'll get to
pick whoever they want now. And guess what, Democrats, again,
you're deprived of the choice that you wanted, well, at
least the small percentage that showed up in the primary.
Democrats going to pick whoever the hell they want. And

(45:32):
I guarantee you as sure as I'm sitting here, whoever
they pick far better, at least from a marketing standpoint
than Graham Platner. He was actually a gift, I think
to the Republicans. We'll see how it goes. They've got
some time, I think, would they have to do that
by Monday five three, seven, four nine fifty eight hundred
and eight two three talk time five fifty on your
AT and T phone as we struggle with computer issues.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Our iHeart radio music festivals asideum in the proposed by
the NEA here it is the National Education Association. We'll
call for the impeachment, conviction, of removal of Donald Trump
from US presidency. We the NEA, will call for a
national march on Washington, d C. To removed Trump before
the November twenty six midterm elections and call on unions

(47:49):
and other progressive organizations to join us in taking action
to protect democracy and defend public education. Is that not
a mouthful they threw themselves in. Actually, they've labeled unions
progressive and you can draw your own conclusion on that.
I suppose it depends on which union you're talking to.

(48:09):
But other progressive organizations. Go ahead and go through the
litany of progressive organizations out there. But look any a
throwing its hat right there in the ring with the
rest of them. They say Trump's parties expected to lose
the midterms badly, in attempts to call out his MAGA
mob for another coup attempt like January sixth, to overturn
these results and prevent his prevent paralysis of his authoritarian

(48:31):
agenda by Congress and certain states, noting that this item
meaning the rally and I guess the attendant protesting cannot
be a company accomplished with current staff and resources. Under
the proposed twenty six twenty seven strategic Plan and budget,
it will cost an additional five million, two hundred and

(48:55):
thirty six thousand, one hundred and ninety three dollars. They
didn'tding that, and I don't know how they came up
with that very definite figure anyway, that's the one that's
quoted in the reporting on that new business item twenty
four from the NEA. ANYA President will write a letter
of the United States Congress Congressional Black Caucus introducing ANEA
resolution i'd as sixty two educational reparations and discuss the

(49:23):
enormous impact they would have on Black slash African Americans.
If educational reparations were passed, it would immediately reduce student
loan debt. This is what the rationale is cited, create
equitable funding for historically black college universities and support African
American slash Black students in special education programs. In addition,

(49:43):
it would eliminate property tax based education funding models.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Oh, is that all? Well?

Speaker 1 (49:49):
I'm at least appreciative of them coming out loud and
saying it, yes, progressive and we all know that's what progressive,
Isn't that the cloaked word, the sort of Orwellian word
for socialists these days? M Todd looks like Todd's calling in. Todd,
hang on, I'll tell you happy, very happy to take care.

(50:13):
Actually stay here right now because the computer's not worry Okay, Ross,
that's fine. Put Todd up on the screen, up on
the phone call. We'll see what Dodd's got this morning. Todd,
thanks for calling. Welcome on the Morning show.

Speaker 9 (50:24):
Hey, well, at least the phones are working, thank you.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
We got that.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (50:32):
Anyway, you know, you do start talking about something with
the NEA and they're calling them unions and such. Many
years ago, I had a business deed to be on
the other side of the Berlin Wall when the Berlin
Wall was up, and it was very interesting. We were

(50:52):
talking to a couple quote unquote officials over there and
we asked them about their election process and we said,
you know, you've got a one party system and they said,
oh no, we have many parties here in the old House,
the German Democratic whatever, Communists East Germany. They said, we

(51:15):
have the union, the plumbers union, all their parties were unions,
but all the unions tend to be a member of
the Communist Party. So you know, there's your little model.
I think all the unions will be the voters and
the Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Will be the party.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
You know what, you may be onto something there, you
may be onto something there. And then and add that
to the quote unquote surveillance state that we currently live on.
And you look at the Chinese Communist Party and what
they've been able to use and harness AI and and
modern Internet of Things devices, it's sort of they can
gauge your party loyalty and you'll get a credit score
associated with how loyal you are to all things party related,

(51:59):
and woe betide the person who is not loyal enough.
Your score goes down, and then you were alienated from
access to literally everything. Sorry sucks. You can't get an apartment,
Sorry sucks to you. You're not going to get any
meat this week, or however they allocate food and resources
over there, it all goes into the same basket.

Speaker 9 (52:17):
Well, and then they can control that when it's a
cashless society. Oh yeah, and you know you're relying on
either digital currency or credit cards. But you know, the
solution to that is the same one that could be
the simplest solution for what's going on in Maine. Don't

(52:39):
vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
Appreciate doubling down on Tom's message from this morning, as
we all should. Yeah, there is a Party of Freedom
and then there's a party of well had the direction
of the European Union the Chinese Communist Party. I think
we all know that the differences between the two. We're
going to try first. They work for doctor Fred Pack,
my dentist, well, doctor Fred Peck. He is an outstanding man,

(53:02):
outstanding Dennis and a great He surrounds himself with the
best staff at his practice. It's a wonderful general dentistry practice.
You're never going to find more state of the art
clinic around. And they will treat you well starts when
you walk in the door. Customer service fantastic, making you
feel at ease. I always think about folks who don't
like to go to the dentist. You'll like going to
doctor Fred Peck and the team there. But what's more,
if you have any issues with your smile, cosmetic dentistry

(53:25):
is absolutely doctor Fred Peck's forte, so much so that
dentists will go to doctor Fred Peck for their own
cosmetic dentistry. He's a credited Fellow with the American and
Cosmetic Dentistry, one of less than one hundred in the
entire world. Also a graduate of the Elite Choise Center.
He knows and is an expert at cosmetic dentistry. So
if you're not proud of your smile, you're embarrassed by it,

(53:46):
perhaps he can transform your life. So many people have
enjoyed the amazing work of doctor Fredpeck dot Cosmetic Dentistry

we go to local stories. Christopher Smithman texted me first
thing this morning saying something along the lines of Cincinnati
safe man. Don't forget that. And he was mentioning an
article that he read first thing this morning. And it
happened late last night, about quarter after eleven pm at

(55:23):
the intersection at ninth Street Wauna Streets. We have a
juvenile who was shot. Juvenile showed up at the hospital
suffering from a gunshot wound after this shooting last night.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Thorty said.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
The circumstances leading up to the shooting are under investigation.
They say there is no suspect information available at this time.
Please said, there is no active threat to the public
other than the general criminal threat that exists day in
and day out in downtown Cincinnati. Beyond that one, since
they please, Central Business Section investigating the unit is handling
that investigation.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Comington.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
We've got a former North the Kentucky teacher is going
to be spending years behind bars after pleading guilty to
inappropriate communications with a student. Twenty five year old Mason
Goins Cincinnati sentenced to seven years after pleading guilty to
sexual abuse, sodomy, promoting a sexual performance of a miner,
possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a miner,

(56:16):
and procuring or promoting use of a minor.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
Jeez.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Police arrested him after he was reported to It was
reported to Covington Independent School Administration and the Covington Police
for allegedly having anappropriation and appropriate communications with the student.
Emails sent to family members by the superintendent acknowledged that
this had happened. Well, we would give him the award

(56:43):
if we had the award cued up from the stack
at stupid this morning, Who is watching your children? Six

I get to mention my friend's cover since he John
Rowland the team at cover, since he a better way
to get medical insurance. You know, there is a world
of insurance markets out there, at private markets that do

(57:04):
not have anything to do with Obamacare. And don't have
anything to do with that group policy that your employer
offers you. Yeah, that group policy, you know, sort of
a one size fits all on that one size typically
has a lot of what John Ruhlman describes as holes.
How about plugging those holes up? Those holes mean no coverage.
Maybe one of the problems is the massive out of
pocket liability you have. Well, working with John Roulman and

(57:25):
the team that covers Sincy, they will find you a
better way, or at least confirm that what you've got
is the best out there in terms of what you're
getting in return for your premium payment. But how about
being like a lot of people, couple couples under sixty
five saving thirty to sixty percent off the premium with
better medical coverage, dollar one coverage, the catastrophic coverage you need.

(57:46):
What they do is work out with this private insurance market,
hundreds of insurance companies with thousands of policies. You get
layered policies with cover Sincy. So you use one policy
for the you know, regular checkups and things like that,
and you got a different policy the handles emergence. It
isn't complicated in the final analysis, it's just a better
way to get yourself insured, covering the claims and getting

(58:07):
that dollar one coverage that everybody so desperately wants find
out if they can do it for you. All it
takes is a phone call or filling out a form
on their website. It doesn't cost you any money, no
money at all for them to do this analysis, and
it is a very individualized approach and not looking at
an entire group to looking at you five to one
three eight hundred call five one three eight hundred two

(58:30):

the website which is cover sincey coversincy dot com.

dealing with some significant computer issues.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
At least we're on the air.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Russ, who's covering for Just Record today, mentioned that one
of the other stations in the cluster had rebooted the
pro the system that's not working, and they went off
the air and they have a they're still off the
air there us. Yes they are, so don't reboot the
system because apparently that's not going to work. Let others
go before you on that. We need tech Friday's day

Speaker 2 (59:58):
To three talk.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
And we still going on about the idea that we
need to get off get off our butts and votes
and you know, Josh Garth over to the Hamilton kinded Republican
Party get people out to vote. There was a good
op ed by Glenn Reynolds over the New York Post
on this, and I just I'm reading it because it's
just it puts an exclamation point on how important this
is moving into November. Zorhanman, Dabby and his cohorts are

(01:00:20):
just the first America's communists peerre hitd by the Democratic
Socialists of America are running the same play across the
nation that they've run in New York, even in places
you'd never expect, like Glenn reynolds op ed piece hometown
in eastern Tennessee. Their latest success came to Colorado, where
gen Z socialist melt kirost outtaid fifteen term incumbent Representative

(01:00:42):
Diana de Getty last week in the Democratic primary. There
was another win for a cadre of far left candidates,
many born outside the US, who are much more radical
and much more anti Israel than the Democrats that they're replacing.
Leftist kiros benefit upon the DSAY strategy of here targeting
low turnout primary and local races to pick up seats

(01:01:05):
using a disciplined voter engagement machine. Notice my emphasis on
that disciplined voter engagement machine. Let's get one of those
over at the Republican Party. My libertarian friends, you can
feel free too, anyway, he says, working, as The Post
has reported New York Posts Orhan candidates, one of New
York primaries with single digit percentage of registered voters only

(01:01:28):
seven percent in the case of the Chevalier person who
beat establishment Democrat Representative Adriano Esplot. One election expert JC Polanco,
quoted by the Post, is saying, even some of these
districts nobody votes. It's a very small turnout. The Democratic
Socialists of America, he pointed out, has taken over the
party locally and says the dirty secret, well, not that

(01:01:51):
secret that American democracy is that not many voters actually vote,
especially an election seen as local or minor. Aveelia Chava,
for example, drew thirty three thousand roughly votes for her
house districts.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Just shy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
A five hundred thousand active voters winning with thirty three
thousand votes out of almost five hundred thousand seems crazy,
but it works. Nothing elicted about it. It's just that
generally people don't go vote. You run your campaign under
the system that exists with low turnout. The ability to
mobilize a relatively small number of reliable voters for your
candidate is all that you need deliver a few thousand

(01:02:29):
busloads voter of votes or voters to an otherwise empty
polling place. Ego win and all around the country he
know it's leftist or using a similar strategy, Like he
mentions his hometown in Noxville, Tennessee, this isn't very communist friendly.
But the Democrat Democratic candidate running to replace popular but
term limited County Mayor Glenn Jacobs is bo Hawk, who

(01:02:53):
says is sort of a East Tennessee's Graham Platner, a
beefy guy that calls himself a workingman but is a
left the ideologue in reality. He once traveled to Venezuela
for a march supporting then dictator Nicholas Maduro, where he
spoke with the Anti Imperialist or No Co Tribune and
condemned President Donald Trump's lies about the Bolivian Revolution. Hawk

(01:03:16):
says he was young and dumb, but when he made
that trip it was in twenty twenty, a whopping six
years ago. But now he's mature enough to be mayor.
Oh and then he was misquoted. Maybe he may not win.
While the city of Knoxville is blue, outlying county is
pretty red. But they're trying here, and they're trying everywhere
doing this, and he points out that they may very

(01:03:38):
well pull it off, because I did the math.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
If you could reliably get five hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
People to pull up at the polls, you could win
a lot of local races. If you can get five thousand,
you'd win most of them. To do it, you need
a turnout operation, and the Knox County GOP, like the
Tennessee GOP statewide vibe, doesn't have much of one. The
DSA is building one in Knox County and elsewhere. Again,

(01:04:06):
there's nothing illegal or illicit about targeting low turnout races,
and the dessay is smart about building loyalty. It doesn't
just send people texts about elections or requests for donations
like establishment polls do. Instead, it hosts regular team building
events like beach days, running clubs, scavenger hunts, no ice creams, socials,

(01:04:27):
ha ha, and things of that nature, things that promote
solidarity and make people feel like they're letting down their
letting down their friends if they skip election day. But
if we don't want to be governed by the radical
seven percent, the rest of us had better step up,
make a point of voting in every election and encourage
sane friends and neighbors to do so as well, even
in elections that are timed deliberately so that most people

(01:04:50):
won't bother. Local elections here are scheduled for the first
Thursday in August, of all times, once that all but
guarantee the low turnout that only benefited incumbents whose hangers
on could be counted to show up. Now the leftists
are taking advantage, bringing their own hangers on and more
of them. Short circuit is dangerously effective strategy. Could we

(01:05:14):
should consider ending incumbent boosting low turnout elections altogether? Good suggestion.
In my state, there's a move to set local elections
on the same data state wider national elections, boosting turnout
and diluting the influence of special interest groups. It's an idea,
though right. Plato said the price of ignoring politics is
to be ruled by idiots or evil men. Amen Plato.

(01:05:35):
And you may not be interested in politics, politics is
interested in you. Wherever you live in America, pay attention
while you still can.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Glenn Arolyn Reynolds, E, Professor of Law at University of Tennessee. Uh,
it's sound advice, folks. You see the playbook in front
of you, and it's an effective one. And the only
reason the DSA has got these inroads is because apparently
no one's paying attention of politics and they think it
doesn't matter to them. Right six forty eight, Right now,

the many benefits of banking with share Facts credit Union.
Share facts dot Org is where you find them online.
Share facts dot orgs multiple branch locations and like I said,
a better way to bank.

Again, it's the here. Apologies for the burnout, for the
for the problems we're having with the computer. Let's jump
over to the phones. Brian and a couple of other calls.
We'll see how many we can get in the remaining time. Brian,
thanks for calling this morning. Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 10 (01:07:44):
Happy Tuesday morning, Brian. That's just it amazes me with
the voter turnout. It's you know, it's very rare that
I go vote and I'm going to vote for somebody.
I'm typically going and voting against or for the lesser
of two eagles.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Right, I just don't want.

Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
This person here, so I'm gonna vote for that person.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Even though I really don't like them exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
That's that's where we typically get in American politics. I
agree with you completely. Very few candidates am I excited
to get off up my butt and go vote for it.
I a mean, most cases, like you, voting to try
to make sure that the crazy guy on the other
side doesn't get elected, you end up with a quasi
crazy guy on your side of the political ledger. At
least you got that going for you. But usually, I mean,

(01:08:27):
these are politicians. Vast majority of them are in it
for their own selves, their own vested personal interest. Narcissists,
maybe sociopaths, I don't know, but they are not experts
in any field of subject matter usually, and they all
of them come with baggage of some sort. Usually it's
a lesser of two evils. But that should not dissuade
anyone from doing what you and I both do. Brian Winches,

(01:08:49):
go and vote anyway, right, amen, brother, exactly, Amen, Brother,
south Park, south Park hit it right that the yes
our award winner or an excrement sandwich. There's your choices
right there, real quick. Let's see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby,

(01:09:09):
Welcome to the Morning Show. Abbey Tuesday, Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 11 (01:09:13):
My brother, Faith Flag family, and you know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
The rest, Sir.

Speaker 11 (01:09:18):
I got a nice letter in the mail last week
and it's come out of Alexandria, Virginia. It's got the
presidential seal. It says election notice, and inside of it
was a nice thing about voter registration notice. And the
funny thing about it is it was to my daughter.

(01:09:38):
She hasn't lived in this address in fifteen years and
she passed away six years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Oh God, rest your soul.

Speaker 11 (01:09:46):
And the thing about it is it comes out of
Virginia and it's addressed on return envelopes going to Columbus.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
Well that's odd.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Well I would suggest probably something to fa as going
on there. But Bobby, you know what your information is
out on the dark web. I've gotten multiple notices through
my monitoring company over the years. You know your email
address has been released, your address, your home address, your
phone number. There's a lot of information that is readily available,
and that will include really really old information. Most notably

(01:10:20):
the stuff that I've been alerted to is my really old,
like more than ten years plus old email address and
other contact information. So that's probably what happened. It was
information for when your daughter was alive, and it's still
floating around out there as if it still actually works.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
So that is a democrats.

Speaker 11 (01:10:37):
These Democrats are going to try a pull a vote brother.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
From anywhere, anywhere possible.

Speaker 11 (01:10:43):
Anywhere they can, anywhere possible. It doesn't matter with they're
on this urt anymore, if they're coming across the borders,
it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
True, you didn't call me looking for an argument, Bobby.
I appreciate you raising that to people's bringing that to
people's attention. Don't go away. We're gonna be talking an
energy policy and hopefully the computers will work. We have
been given a notice now real quick here, folks, as
we go into the top of the hour break Briga
mccawen from the Hudson's who's going to join us after
the top of the hour. We've been told that at
one point sometime this morning, we don't know when we're

(01:11:13):
going to have to reboot all at once, all of
our computers here in the iHeart Cluster. That's a whole
bunch of stations, which means we're gonna be going off
there for some period of time, and we just don't
know how long. In the meantime, we'll struggle with the
pauses and the glitches and talk energy policy or bring
them account after the top of the hour. I hope
you can stick around and hope we come back.

Speaker 8 (01:11:44):
Celebrating two hundred and fifty years of US weather and traffic.

Speaker 3 (01:11:48):
No, there was no traffic then US five dr Z
the talk station, this report, Dave, Sponsors and Harrison.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
That's fine. I'm just giving you a hard time breaking.
We have a conversation on the phone and too. I
just prefer seeing you man. You're a good friend and
I enjoy our face to face conversations. But we can
get the energy policy real quick here before we dive
into the issues you wanted to talk to because they
didn't have a list. But I was so excited about
this amazing new technological advance that they have achieved in
the Gulf of America FKA Mexico, where they now are

(01:12:23):
able to drill twenty thousand feet below this Earth's surface
and tapping into what they're calling the palaeagene. Apparently it's
shale rock deep beneath the ocean there or the Gulf.
It holds tens of billions of barrels of oil and
it's a technological advancement because no one up until this
moment in time has been able to overcome the challenges

(01:12:45):
of drilling at that pressure, which is analogous to the
weight of an elephant on a quarter or something. But anyway,
that has apparently been overcome tens of billions of barrels
of oil. That is an amazing accomplishment. And what do
you think that's going to do to transform global global
energy to the extent that they can bring that oil
out of the ground.

Speaker 12 (01:13:06):
Yeah, that's absolutely right, Brian. Obviously it'll cost, it will
cost more than your typical Hey, let's go out in
our backyard in Texas or Oklahoma. But you know, technology
is fundamentally transformed energy and it continues to as we
move forward. Right, you may remember, we've got to kick
our addiction, Brian, to oil because we're running out of

(01:13:27):
it peak oil.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
That it was a concept back in what last like
two three decades ago or something, before they invented fracking.

Speaker 12 (01:13:35):
It was and thanks to fracking, thanks to hydraulic fracturing,
the ability to get into tiny pores of geological formations
at depth under pressure, and the ability to drill horizontally. Yeah,
and to know exactly what you're hitting so far away.
And you know, I guess here's the deal. We're never

(01:13:56):
going to run out of fossil skills. Will we transition?
Probably someday, But it's gonna because something better came along,
not because something worse came along.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
That's an important point. There may very well be something better.
And you know me man, here I am listeners are
already going to here he goes again about small modular reactors.
But you know what, it is perhaps a better way.
You know, once you build it am things with no
nuclear waste and you really don't ever have to recharge them.
The footprint small, no massive drilling rigs and oil plans,

(01:14:28):
and no massive fields of windmills and solar panels and
all the attendant problems go along with that. Build one,
PLoP it down, and you've got unlimited power with no
carbon dioxide the extent you care about it. So that
is a modern move, and we're going in that direction. Well,
I guess I have to ask you along those lines,
what's the impediment right now to the small modular reactors?

(01:14:50):
Since they are available, they are being proposed, and there
are some projects in the works already.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
What's slowing it.

Speaker 12 (01:14:55):
Down, Well, we have a lot of new entrants kind
of like this. Remember back in the day when nobody
could put a rocket together except Nassive. We really lacked innovation,
fell off the cliff. We just weren't making advances. I
think nuclear industry is very similar, and now we have
a lot of new entrance into it that are making

(01:15:15):
these SMRs. And I don't know if you saw or not,
Department and of Energy announce it. Yeah, they had a
new startup SMR online by the fourth of July, just
like they promised. And we're going to see a very
quick expansion. But that's because the government's putting its weight
behind it, and the government's streamlining regulations and we are

(01:15:38):
empowering entrepreneurs and technical innovation at areas that we've not
really seen before.

Speaker 5 (01:15:46):
And I think it's a good thing.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
Well, it's a wonderful thing. And I suppose maybe we
would have had earlier versions of this technology if there
hadn't been such a regulatory hurdle to overcome. I mean,
the layers of regulation when it comes to nuclear and
maybe at some point justified. But with more or modern technology,
you're not building three mile Island type plants, and you're
building something that's far more safe and reliable. So maybe

(01:16:08):
the impediments that are now being moved away, Maybe the
federal governments embracing nuclear as a concept, perhaps only because
of AI, but it's still needed. Are we desperately need
the power to compete with the rest of the globe.
Maybe just getting rid of the impediments have spurred on
the desire to engage in research and development.

Speaker 12 (01:16:28):
Absolutely, And as of course, you know, my United States
Navy's been doing SMRs for seventy years, but there are
a lot different than they are today. And you know,
in my opinion, and maybe for the next segment here,
the real energy crisis isn't oil, it's electricity.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Electricity, and this is where our new data centers come
back in. Yes, well, let me ask you this. If
we had obviously the electricity comes from a coal plant,
natural gas, you know, a wind, whatever. If you have
the electricity, can the grid handle what are what our
needs are? Because the grid seems to be even maybe

(01:17:06):
even a bigger challenge, Brigham.

Speaker 12 (01:17:09):
Yes, and you you've you've hit the nail on the head, Brian,
That's exactly what I'm getting at is high voltage transformer,
switch gear, power electronics, other critical grid equipment. America's dependence
on imported now inner electrical infrastructure is becoming a strategic
vulnerability because we can't make transformers, we can't make the wire.

(01:17:32):
We just simply don't have it. And even if we did,
the permitting process is so out of control. It takes
seven to ten years to get something permitted and built.
Point it out to be done in two You're saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
Seven to ten years to do typical uh transmission lines
and and and and and the equipment that goes into
feeding homes and businesses with electricity. I mean, I understand
regulatory impediments when it comes in New clear, Oh my god,
we're all going to die. There's going to be a
meltdown three mile island, you know, China cent or whatever.
But electric lines face the same kind of ten year

(01:18:08):
plus hurdles.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Absolutely.

Speaker 12 (01:18:11):
I mean, twenty years ago it is. And you know,
twenty years ago our strategic vulnerability was imported oil. Now
it's needing to import the electrical infrastructure. And that is
on average how long it takes, especially for longer distance
high voltage transmission lines. If you think about it right,

(01:18:32):
you get a lot of opposition from local communities. Nobody
wants to live next to high voltage power line. It's
like an airport. We all need it, but nobody wants
it next door.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
Well let's pause there. Well, obviously NIMBI lawsuits, I suppose
there are one large impediment to that, But is there
really any danger associated with those lines? And of course
the NIMBI lawsuits are coming from the very people who
obviously also need electricity. More with Briga McGown from the
Hudson and Suit our energy policy expert here on the
fifty five KRC Morning Show at seven fifteen. Right now,

(01:19:02):
let me mention USA Insulation since of course that relates
to energy.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
The cool you want your home, the more energy you're
gonna consume. And if you don't have an insulated home,
you are fighting a sysafy and challenge here uphill battle.
You can't beat that summer heat. So get in touch
with USA Insulation where they will perform an inspection on
your home. You could be under insulated or uninsulated. Newer
homes probably not, but you know there are some of

(01:19:27):
those occasional outliers there. You got some kind of builder special,
or maybe your home is just built after the insulation
was required in the walls, like my daughter's late seventies
built home. She and Eric had a terribly insulated home
are twelve that was now what forty to fifty years
old or older. It doesn't work even at our twelve
level anymore, and it's certainly not substantial enough that could be.

(01:19:47):
You go get the phone to go in with the insulation.
You're gonna have a wonderfully insulated home. You'll notice comfort
day one, massive improvement and comfort. Of course, when the
energy bill shows up, some people saving fifty percent on
their energy bill. That's a whopping heap of money these days.
If you're uninsulated, wow, the difference will be truly dramatic.

(01:20:07):
Get the foam in the extray walls after a free
quote and they'll provide a free attic insulation. There's USA
stepping up to give you that little extra incentive to
do what you're going to regret not doing sooner. That's
the only problem I've ever heard of about, and I
wish I'd have done it sooner. So to get your
free inspection one of two ways, give me a call
five one three, three eight one three six two six
three eight one foam or head on over to the

(01:20:29):
website USA insulation dot net. All right, so the computer
is gone. It's gone back to Brigham Agow and thankfully
Brigham's on the phone from the Hudson's tough talking energy policy.
The high voltage transmission lines obviously needed, Brigham. This is
an impediment you mentioned ten to fifteen years to get
something put in the ground.

Speaker 4 (01:20:49):
Uh is it?

Speaker 1 (01:20:49):
NIMBI lawsuits that did drive this are high voltage. Although
they are ugly, so are windmills, Brigham. And I'm gonna
point that out right up front. We need the high
voltage transmission lines to get energy to run everything. Are
they dangerous? Do they represent some sort of problem for
people who live close to them? Because I've been hearing
that a lot throughout my entire life. Yeah, I've heard

(01:21:10):
it throughout my entire life too. And when you look
at the studies.

Speaker 12 (01:21:14):
There, they are completely inconclusive. There's been nothing that has
positively scientifically linked them. And you know, I suspect it's
more of a visual nuisance anything else, But you know
it's a combination of things. Right, we can't get the

(01:21:35):
equipment we can't get the sites permitted the grid operators.
Many of us may not realize that it's not just
our local utility that's sort of the electrical distribution, it's
the who generates the electricity.

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
And then how do you get it to you?

Speaker 12 (01:21:54):
And transmission lines are clearly the interstate highways of energy
and our regional grid operators where we're in sort of
the mid Atlantic region, they have to do a better
job of bringing new power online and having the thirty
year plan that puts new transmission lines together. And frankly,

(01:22:18):
all of these things aren't working very well.

Speaker 3 (01:22:20):
None of these things are working well together.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
So is this going to require greater cooperation between entities?
This going to require states to cooperate? Is this all
on federal level in terms of the impediments that stand
in the way of transmission lines being built? I guess
I'm wondering, Brigham McCowan, energy expert, what the solution is
and if you could create a solution to what you
proceed to be the problems, how would it work out?

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
In brief?

Speaker 12 (01:22:44):
Yeah, well, first of all, our regional grids ours is
called PJC, that's the grid operator and that stretches from
Virginia to Michigan. Pennsylvania's included in there as well, and
everything in between. First of all, we have to have
a better strategic plan for building out a grid. How
much power are we.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
Going to need tomorrow? How much power are we going
to need in ten years?

Speaker 2 (01:23:06):
And I get it.

Speaker 12 (01:23:06):
The data centers kind of came out of nowhere. AI
came out of nowhere. But we have to generate more electricity.
One things so Ohio was looking at, and we've talked
about this before, is should your local utility company, should
Duke Energy, be allowed to generate your own electricity? Or
should they not be allowed to build their own power plants?
And if they do, our taxpayers on the hook for that,

(01:23:30):
our ratepayers on the hook. So there's a federal component
of building out the transmission lines, there's a state and
regional component of building out the power, and then it's
getting it to you. But I know you've noticed this.
Rates are going up. I don't think you've seen new
lines run into your.

Speaker 5 (01:23:49):
House, have you? No?

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
Not a bit that always is like the piece of God,
the energy build that I as a matter of fact,
I read mine yesterday, all these different surcharges and fees,
and none of it makes much sense, but it all
adds up rather quickly. So you're looking at a bill
for the power itself and the bill for the distribution
of the power, but all the other add ons on
it are like, wait a minute, where all these charges
come from? But yeah, the bill's going dramatically up. Well,

(01:24:13):
now the data centers are at least driving a more
sane conversation about how we get our power, are they not?
Because all the big companies that own these and are
wanting to build them seem to have turned their back
on the idea that carbon dioxide is a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
Right, they have.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
To some extent.

Speaker 12 (01:24:33):
Now, some are still, you know, they want to have
backup power. They want to have windmills, they want to
have solar on their rooftop to reduce their their burden
on the grid grate, you know, knock yourselves out. Here's
the real big question is a lot of the regional
grid operators, including PJC, which, by the way, our grid
operator is the largest in the entire country, if you

(01:24:54):
can believe that, more than Texas, more than any others.
They're saying, if you want to build a big data center,
bring your own power or what we call behind the meter,
because the grid operators say they just don't have the
extra capacity. They're not seeing people build a new power
Maybe we ought to go into business and find ourselves

(01:25:15):
a nice natural gas pipeline and hook up a couple
massive turbans to it and produce our own power. We
could do that you do in business and sell power
to the grid.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
Brigham. I think part of the problem with that is,
much like the high high power transmission lines that people
are against, nobody wants a pipeline drilled anymore. And this
is again one of those environmental NIMBI lawsuit kind of things. Nope,
you're not going to put a natural gas pipeline through
my neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
You hear that all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:25:44):
Yeah, you know you do.

Speaker 12 (01:25:45):
And yet we have three point four million miles of pipelines.
We all have pipelines. You have a mini pipeline that
comes to your house that provides natural gas. And that's
the other point. We can't electrify everything like the previous
administ duration tried to do because there's no spare power.
So you know, you don't need an electric water heater

(01:26:08):
if your gas one works fine. In fact, we need
both systems, the pipeline system and the electrical system to
power our needs. And I think the high tide of
pipeline opposition was about five to seven years ago. People
are realizing now that no, pipelines are not dangerous. In fact,
statistically they're the safest ninety nine point nine last time

(01:26:33):
I did the math. You can't find that anywhere else.
And so I think people realize now we need what
pipelines deliver, and they do it really well, and they
do it cheaply.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Yes they do so Brigham, we don't really have an
energy policy. We have a regulation policy or problem that
or we have a regulation problem, not a not an
abundance problem.

Speaker 12 (01:26:57):
We do, and special interests come out and I'm against
pipelines while I'm against solar, I'm against this from you know,
And then you're trying to make policy in DC with
all these special interests weighing in, instead of saying stop
all you guys stop, let's look at this without the emotion.
Let's look at this without the special interests. What does

(01:27:19):
American need to power its homes, its businesses. It's manufacturing facilities.
That's energy policy. And honestly, to your point, we haven't
had one since Nixon was in office.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
Hm.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
Well, I guess I have to ask why.

Speaker 12 (01:27:39):
Because of all of these different special interests at splinter.
I mean, even now both parties agree, hey, we need
permitting reform. This is ludicrous. It shouldn't take ten years
to build anything a high power line, a pipeline, a
solar field, a bridge, ten years for all of this.

(01:28:00):
But then they say, okay, well, let's do permitting reform.
And the Democrats say, great, we want permitting reform for
our projects, not yours. And Republicans say, well, we want
permitting reform for our stuff because it actually matters, not
your stuff. And here we are.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
We're stuck.

Speaker 1 (01:28:16):
Well, and I suppose in so far as the Democrats
plans are concerned, it all involves green energy, not nuclear
or our natural gas or even potentially a clean coal plant.

Speaker 12 (01:28:27):
Oh absolutely not. Now some of the Democratic Party is
okay with nuclear power, not the other things you mentioned.

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
No, Well, we find ourselves in a bit of a quandary.
And this sort of has been going on for decades
and decades. I guess the one other component of this,
given the global reality the Internet has brought to us,
in the fact that we do have adversaries out there
like the Chinese Communist Party, who are behind largely the
anti data center efforts because their arguments obviously have been

(01:28:56):
debunked by people who have better understanding of AI and
what the energy needs and what the water needs are
are the CCP types out of the world also fueling
the NIMBI lawsuit environmental claim lawsuits that slow these projects
down as well.

Speaker 12 (01:29:13):
There's a fair amount of elemence out there that foreign
dollars are flowing into America. Frankly, some of it came
from Middle East during the fracking revolution, the shale play.
Some of it is coming from the Far East. Yeah,
and we don't do a very good job of tracking
this money. And frankly, there are some that don't want

(01:29:36):
us to track this money very well. But energy is
one of America's abundant resources. It's what makes us a superpower.
It's what has made us successful. That's why we provided
ninety percent of the fuel to the Allies during World
War Two. That's why we can manufacture things. It is

(01:29:57):
a strength. Just look at Europe. See what weakness looks like,
what energy poverty looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:30:03):
Sadly, and we're the success of socialism in bringing the
energy energy production to its heels and its knees and
reducing the economic might of Europe as well. Come home
to roost. It's fully manifested itself. I mean, we can
go down that road if we want, but we're doing
so in the same way the data cutting our own throats.
That seems to me the logical conclusion of their energy policies.

Speaker 12 (01:30:26):
It is, and I think this administration understands that having abundant,
affordable and reliable energy is a strength that underpins our
national security and underpins our economic security. It's what we
all require, and it is a huge strength of America.
And if we can stop shouting at Canada for a

(01:30:48):
couple of days, if we plug their energy into the
North American energy powerhouse, we are far better. And some
of the price bikes you saw during the Iran conflict
would never have happened.

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
Yeah, but that would be good for us.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
It would also be good for Canada and therefore bad
for the socialists and the folks in the world that
want to tear down America's greatness. I still say that's
behind most all of our problems right now. We capitulate
to those arguments and do so at our own Peril

the fifty five Karssee Morning Show has computer glitches, which
is a good thing.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:33:51):
I've been just harping on this whole voter turnout thing
with these Democratic socialists aka communist or whatever you want
to call them winning election, and it is really amazing
thing what cohesion among the far leftists, and it's a
disparate group of folks. You've got the LGBTQ angry mob.
You've got the anti Israel angry mob, You've got the

(01:34:13):
Green angry mob, and all of them have rallied around
socialism for whatever zelotry that they're following. They are very, very,
very cohesive, and they run a well oiled machine, and
they know that political apathy is widespread in the United
States of America. If you go to a primary, we
only get like ten percent of the voting population showing up.
You can win with a well oiled ground machine, and

(01:34:36):
they've demonstrated this. Does that mean, Tom Zawastowski, that our
country is really moving in that direction? Or is this
just the opportunitists waking up and realizing they've got this
great opportunity because no one's going to vote, that they
can get their guy in.

Speaker 11 (01:34:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:34:52):
I don't see any evidence that our country is quote
unquote moving in that direction. What's really I think the
story here is that we finally brought them out into
the open and are getting them to say what they
actually believe. Remember, you know Hillary Clinton, Remember what she said,
I'm a democratic socialist. Everybody? What the heck was that?

Speaker 8 (01:35:12):
You know?

Speaker 5 (01:35:13):
Hillary Clinton? This is like twenty fifteen, Ton sixteen. But
they thought the same things, but they tried to pretend
they were you know, Hubert Humphrey. They tried to pretend,
you know, they were even Bill Clinton, when they weren't.
They had these same policies, you know, anti capitalists. You
know the great segment he has had on about energy.
You know what was that all about energy? You know,

(01:35:35):
the green new scam, as Trump calls it was about
destroying Western civilization. Capitalism is driven by cheap energy, that
is the key component. Yes, so what was the fight.
The fight was to prevent you from making cheap energy
by having all these stupid things where we're going to
shut down whole plants, We're gonna not do pipelines, gas pipelines,

(01:35:57):
and oh yeah, we're gonna do solar panels and windmills,
which crippled Germany.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
All of Europe.

Speaker 5 (01:36:02):
That's why they're collapsing, right, So they've always been for
the destruction of Western civilization. Now they're just out there
saying it openly. And you know what that does. That
takes a lot of the people who thought they were
democrats or were humored Humphrey democrats, the old folks, and
they go, wait a minute, that's not me. They have
ruined their brand and they are splitting the Democratic Party

(01:36:26):
in a way that I think will benefit us greatly
this fall, because, as you said, and as your guests
preemous guests said, you know, we're to the point where
we're not voting for someone, we're voting against them, and
they're giving us a whole lot of reasons to vote
against them that are better than them, the best reasons
ever to vote against them. And void Trump's speech at
Mount Rushmore. I encourage everyone to listen to that speech

(01:36:49):
at Mount Rushmore. He went somewhere I've never seen him
go before as far as his willingness to fight communism.

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
All right, great, well, we'll dive a little more detail
on that in your observations question as we're going to
the break here, a Tom is have they ever really
walked through what the world would look like and be
in this post capitalist destruction? Because I see a lot
of starving and jobless people in the world. We'll continue
with Tom Zaustowski from We the People Convention dot org.

(01:37:17):
After I mentioned a way to get rid of your pain,
or possibly get rid of your pain, the pain that
is bothering you, the joint pain, the pain, hit pain,
back pain, whether it's from arthritis or injury. You know,
there's a source generating that pain, and that's where QC
kinetics focus is on. But remember your pain is also
interfering with the lives of the people around you that
love you and don't want to see you in pain,
but also miss you being around when you try to

(01:37:39):
when they want to enjoy these outdoor activities and you know,
things that involve well pain inducing activity. So get in
touch with QC kinetics. It's an in office procedure, not surgery.
We got a lot of downtime. You go in, you
get the procedure, and you leave and you go about
your life while the natural biologics from your body work
to solve the problem, the injective right there at the

(01:38:00):
source of that pain, and ultimately the inflammation eases and
the pain lets go. Everybody's happy and so many thousands
of people have been got a smile and face because
they got the relief that they were looking for from
QC kinetics, without surgery, without having to take medications every
single day. So again, if this whole sounds like you,
and you know folks around you maybe saying something to

(01:38:22):
you about the pain. Why not call them up. It's
a free consultation. This may very well work for you,
which is why the consultation is free. They want to
talk about what your problem is and maybe it will work.
Thousands of people know it works. QC Kinetics could be
reached five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.
Five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.
It's five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.

Tom Z as the socialist slash communists of the world
endeavor who takedown Western capitalism.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
They survive.

Speaker 1 (01:39:39):
All their economic philosophy and policies exist on taking money
from those that earn I don't understand the direction that
they think they're going when they are basically eliminating the
ability to earn ie abundant electricity and power, which funds
jobs and generates tax revenue. If they take that away
from us, they don't have a revenue source, which means
their entire social wealth state collapses on itself. Haven't they

(01:40:02):
walked through this?

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
Tom Z?

Speaker 3 (01:40:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:40:05):
You know, And that's you know why they made sure
they didn't teach history in our schools anymore, because all
the young people who think they're for this don't know
anything about what the history of communism was, what it
was like. I was telling my nephew last night that
I challenged him to read the first chapter of The
Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenisan. You won't get through the first chapter. Anyone,

(01:40:31):
listen this program, try to read the first chapter you
can get online for free, The Horrors of Communism. You
won't be able to finish the first chapter. That's what
we need to teach people. And I'm just really fired
up about what Trump is doing. On June the twenty fifth,
and looking at my ex account, right after a bunch
of the comedies won those primaries in New York with

(01:40:54):
seven percent turnout in the vote, he said, the Communists
are finally making their move. I've been waiting and preparing
for this for a long time. I thought, WHOA, what
does that mean? And then in his speech on Friday
night at Mount Rushmore, and then again he touched on
it at the fourth of July you know event on Saturday,

(01:41:18):
he said, we will vanquish the Communists in America and
send them out of our country. I've never heard Trump
be that forceful about the threat of communism to our country,
and I'm very excited about that. Because these people you
can't reason with them. Brian, you have to defeat them,

(01:41:39):
and we the people have to defeat them at the
polls this November and send the Democratic Socialists, whatever party
you want to call it, the way of the Whigs.
We need to just remove them from power throughout our country.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
That sounds like a great thing. I embraced the concept,
but how does that work out in practice? Like for example,
Zorhan mam Dami, the communist mayor of New York City.
You know, he got elected in a low turnout primary.
He won the primary, and of course you get a
Democrat when you're in New York, you're voting for that. Obviously,
there were different choices within among the Democrats in New York,
and yet they went with the socialist slash communist. I'm

(01:42:18):
a little worried that that might seep out into other elections.
So let's walk through this. Are we going to enter
another McCarthy era where we're going to call these people
out and blacklist them? What's the future look like in
a country with the First Amendment and the ability to
people to go around and try to support the insane
notion that socialism and communism works. One more with Tom's Austasi.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
That's with Tom Zawastowski. We either People Convention dot Org.

Speaker 1 (01:43:37):
Tom on your point on communism and I knew Donald
Trump addressed it and his h Mount Rushmore speech and
at the July fourth speech got to eradicate communists and
got to fight it off. We went through a period
of time, of course, the nineteen fifties with McCarthy era ostracizing, blacklisting,
otherwise outing communists, and that was good enough back then.
And I'm not saying it was right or appropriate, because

(01:43:57):
we do a free speech and you're free to argue
whatever political philosophy you want, and I embrace that here.
But baked into the equation, at least in my lifetime,
and it wasn't that long ago. If you admitted you
were a socialist or communists, you were immediately ostracized and
no one took you seriously, what are you crazy? This
is a capitalist country. It was immediately a disqualifying event.

(01:44:17):
But people don't have that reaction anymore when they hear socialists.
Now many people have courted the polls and young people
most notably, they've been indoctrinated in K through twelve and
in college education. I think it's a great thing. We
don't teach about the evils of communism, so we've got
a lot of re educating or raising awareness to do
before we can effectively oust this as a viable political

(01:44:40):
concept in the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
Don't we Tom.

Speaker 3 (01:44:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:44:43):
I think Donald Trump launched that effort this weekend right
where he started calling it out and saying things like,
you know, it's never worked anywhere, and as all they
do is say, I'll give you everything by taking it
away from others. So that education has started and I
will I will. You know what, reference people to the
great book Blacklisted by History, the untold story of Senator

(01:45:05):
Joe McCarthy in his fight against American enemies by a
very established author, Stanton Evans. Great book because Joe McCarthy
was demonized by Hollywood and the people were the Commies
were embedded. Ronald Reagan fought the communists in Hollywood. The
whole story of Joe McCarthy wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:45:25):
That he was wrong.

Speaker 5 (01:45:27):
After the Soviet Union, cell Stanton Evans went to Moscow,
looked at the files and found out that McCarthy was
not only was he right, that seventy percent of the
communists in our US government survived the McCarthy are era
because they shut him down. The fact of the matter
is that this is a real problem in our country

(01:45:49):
and no one's been fighting it for years. And I'm
thrilled to see President Trump stepping up and saying, Okay,
this has got to stop. It's like you said, you
can have free speech. What they've done with the left
has done with the cognates have done is they said
it's free speech to say we want to overthrow your country.
That's fall tradition, that's called treason.

Speaker 4 (01:46:12):
You can't.

Speaker 5 (01:46:12):
How can you get sworn into office as a congressman
when you say I'm wanting to overthrow the country? Yes,
where do we draw the line? Okay, Brian, where do
we draw the line?

Speaker 1 (01:46:22):
And that's exactly what I wanted to ask you already anticipated,
but let's put a finer point on it. When the
DSA's political strategy, their own policy points talk about concepts
that run completely contrary to the Constitution the United States
of America, I mean absolutely contrary. How can they swear

(01:46:43):
an oath of office if they are running on a
platform that undermines very specific provisions of our constitution?

Speaker 5 (01:46:50):
Tom Well, and why are we as taxpayers paying for
elections for them to run in millions of dollars? Listen,
why do they even exist as a party? You we
understand free speech, but you can't organize against the overthrow
of us. Try doing that in China, Try doing that
in Russia, Try doing that in any other saying country,

(01:47:12):
what are we doing? We've got to vanquish the communists.
That's what Trump said, and he said, I've been preparing
a long time. Yeah, you watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:20):
See what happens he's putting up with?

Speaker 5 (01:47:22):
This?

Speaker 1 (01:47:22):
Is this going to be a DOJ investigation into entities
wanting to overthrow the United States of America along the
lines that you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (01:47:31):
Where why is it taking so long to do that?

Speaker 1 (01:47:33):
No, No, whether it's Tom hey, listen, everything takes forever
to do. Let's just ignore that reality and focus on
what you think, by way of action, will be done
to address this obviously existential threat to our country.

Speaker 5 (01:47:48):
I think they need to be arrested. I think this
is truth to us. I think when he said we
will send them out of the country, I hope he
means that these people should be deported. They are not Americans,
they are indoctrinated. At Congress, what the America Karen Basthward,
the ANTIFA leader, said, I'm an indoctrinated Marxist and I

(01:48:09):
went to Cuba to learn how to overthrow the country.
You've got to arrest those people and deport them. That's
their enemies of the state, their enemies of the United States.
That's not free speech.

Speaker 4 (01:48:20):
That's the edition.

Speaker 2 (01:48:21):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
Let's see an arrest, let's see a prosecution, hopefully successful,
and let's set the stage for further down the road.
To the extent you want to advocate for the overthrow
of the United States of America, you are an enemy
of all Americans. Tom's Awastowski. We people Convention dot org.
Appreciate what you do. Man, put an exclamation point on
these issues today, and I hope people heed your your
warnings and your concerns. And again I'll point out again

(01:48:44):
got to get out and vote. Stop the scourge from
making inroads into our government. Don't vote for the damn people, right.

Speaker 5 (01:48:50):
Tom, exactly right, this fall turn out no matter what.
All right, vote for every Republican not could you like them,
but because you got to stop.

Speaker 2 (01:48:59):
The Sometimes it takes a little nose holding to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:49:03):
Tom.

Speaker 1 (01:49:03):
Appreciate the advice and the information and what you do
throughout the week at your website. We'll talk again real soon,
my friends. Stay well, have a great week. Now you
do the same. It's seven fifty six right now. If
you five KRC the Talk Station. It's like some computer
glitches have gone away. I mean I shouldn't have said
that out loud. Coming up the inside Scoop with Colin
Maidine from bright Bart News. Were talking about a variety

(01:49:24):
of current events with him plus the Daniel Davis Deep
Die will get the latest on Iran as well as Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (01:49:30):
Don't go away, be right.

Speaker 8 (01:49:31):

to speak.

Speaker 3 (01:49:37):
Just compty five krs the talk station. This resoves a
lot of news. Stay informed by friends.

with it available in the app store or.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
Fifty five KRC dot com eight O five almost eight
of six to fifty five cares de detalk station. I'm
very happy Tuesday to you. You got a reprieve from
our computer issues this morning. Knockwood that continues and thanks
for those who stuck it out this morning with our
glitches and welcome back to the fifty five KR see morning.
Shit's that time of week where we get the inside

(01:50:15):
scoop from bright Bart News.

Speaker 2 (01:50:16):
I love the site.

Speaker 1 (01:50:17):
I always recommend bookmarking B R E I T B
A RT dot Com. You can read a great articles there,
some outstanding reporting, a lot of topics that they will
address that mainstream media wouldn't touch with a.

Speaker 2 (01:50:27):
Ten foot poll.

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
Tech editor Colin made on and returns to Colin's been
on the program here in the Breitbart segment many times,
and this morning we're going to talk a little bit
about artificial intelligence.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
Colin.

Speaker 1 (01:50:36):
Welcome back to the Morning Show, sir. It's always a
pleasure having you on.

Speaker 3 (01:50:40):
Happy to be in here, Brian.

Speaker 13 (01:50:41):
Just to clarify, it may be bright Bartech, but I'm
not going to fix your computer.

Speaker 5 (01:50:45):
No I.

Speaker 1 (01:50:47):
Well, we have a segment here on the Morning Show
called Tech Friday with Dave had Er, and he's one
of our the one of the best. His company is
the best in terms of business software needs and computer
needs and dealing with crashes, and like, we were all
joking around that we need a Dave in here this
morning because man, everybody's heaven struggles, but nobody dies as
a consequence of computer glitches on the Morning Show. So

(01:51:08):
move on, we did, and we are Colin. At least
I had a conversation earlier this morning with our energy
policy expert Briga McCown and one of the things that
at least is driving a saner discussion about energy policy
here in the United States. No windmills and solar panels
will not power artificial intelligence. It requires some massive amounts
of power. So at least meat pill are now moving
away from carbon dioxide, embracing concept like small modular reactors

(01:51:31):
and better ways to produce an abundant amount of electricity.
So that makes them good in one respect, but the
bad elements of it are creeping out, and every day
you run into a story about some delusional young person
who thinks that artificial intelligence and communicating with jat cheap
chat GPT is actually talking with a real human being.
And the other component is AI often generates a lot

(01:51:53):
of really terrible information, erroneous information, made up information, and
always comes with some bias. But my understanding is that
some people are now using artificial intelligence to tell them
how to vote Colin.

Speaker 9 (01:52:07):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 13 (01:52:10):
One of the downsides of our business, Brian, and I
know you feel this too, is sometimes we're a risk
of CTE because we slap our foreheads so hard. You know,
that's yes brain damage going on, And this is one
of those head slapper stories. So you know there's a
few components, some of which you just mentioned. We know

(01:52:30):
people love to stop thinking and hand it over to AI.
We know people's brains are rotting from AI, a concept
called cognitive offloading. We also know that AI is full
of bad information and it's full of leftist bias because
of who's making the AI and what they're training it

(01:52:50):
on sources like Wikipedia and Reddit. So you combine all
these factors and we have this amazing story out of
the New York Times where people are now instead of
trying to figure out the best options to vote for,
you know, looking at the parties, looking at the platforms,
they're saying to Claude or chet GPT, how do I vote?

(01:53:14):
In some cases, they're taking a picture of their ballot
in the ballot box and saying the quad or chet
GPT or Google.

Speaker 2 (01:53:23):
Worst of all, how do I vote?

Speaker 4 (01:53:25):
Who should I vote for?

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
And you know the ai'll sit out?

Speaker 13 (01:53:28):
Oh, you know, if you care about humanity, votes with
a democrat essentially, right, So and so you know these
people some of the quotes from these people.

Speaker 2 (01:53:38):
First of all, these are not just kids.

Speaker 13 (01:53:42):
There's a fifty eight year old guy in Georgia who's saying, gee,
this felt so much easier. I don't know if I
was correct to do it, but it feels easy. And
you know, unfortunately, in our culture, easy seems to be
like the golden standard. Right, So these people are going
to these tools and deciding how they vote. Now, the

(01:54:02):
problem is, we know every major AI has a big
leftist bias. Yeah, you know, this is not This is
not the equivalent even of going to a college campus
and asking some you know, proto Marxist twenty year old
he's never paid taxes how to vote. This is going
to the most extreme leftists on the internet sites like Reddit.

(01:54:25):
I mentioned Wikipedia, which has an extreme bias, and asking them, hey,
who do I vote for? These are companies. There's just
so many stories we've covered to this bias. It's scary
that people are now getting voting advice. So for example,
as recent as this spring, catch EPT was labeling the
Republican National Committees donation sites as like spam possible malware,

(01:54:51):
you'll get a virus if you click this link, and
of course the Democrat you know, donation links were perfectly fine.
That's an old trick we've seen from Google and other and.

Speaker 2 (01:55:00):
Facebook over the years.

Speaker 13 (01:55:02):
And AI is doing the same thing. So it's astonishing.
I feel like some of our leaders are asleep at
the switch because they're pushing the AI technology. They're saying
AI is great, but you know, this is what AI
is doing, buying the scenes.

Speaker 1 (01:55:16):
Well, I suppose elements of AI can be great, but
it depends on how it's designed. You know, garbage in
garbage out thing seems to be widely known. But apparently
if anybody's willing to rely on chat, GPT or some
other AI platform to decide what Canada they're voting on,
not only are they unaware of the bias inherent in
the system, they also seem to have no concept of
politics generally speaking. I know, Colin, I mean it has

(01:55:39):
to be observed that prior to AI, and even currently,
many people will go in completely uninformed, grab the blue
or pink ticket and just walk in and vote on
straight party lines. But at least you know the bias
that's built into that. If you come in so politically
unaware that you're going to allow some create aided by

(01:56:00):
human beings platform, as brilliant as it may be and
as many things that can do that are positive, I
think that's that's that is a massive problem in hearing
in our in our political system. I mean, that's that
seems to be an insturmentable challenge. If you're that dumb, right,
then you're just that dumb.

Speaker 13 (01:56:21):
Well, you know, Brian, it's interesting you say that because
I think Silicon Valley, you know, well before AI and
this goes well beyond politics. This extends into the economy
and other areas. Their entire business model sort of relies
on people not seeing a bias there. You know, when
you look at Google, Google has always portrayed itself as

(01:56:46):
you know, hey, we are the Yellow Pages of the Internet.

Speaker 12 (01:56:50):
You know, we call it how we see it.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
There's no thumb on the scale.

Speaker 13 (01:56:54):
In fact, what we've learned about Google over the last
two decades is they tremendously monkey with their search rankings,
both to benefit their own businesses, to benefit chosen partners,
and in politics, to attempt to destroy their political enemies. So,
for example, around the twenty twenty election, if you went

(01:57:15):
on Google and searched any form of the name Joe Biden,
you would not find a single Breitbart link in the
top twenty pages of results, because they blacklisted us and
those people are now applying the same concepts to AI.
So you know that's why you'll constantly see posts on

(01:57:36):
social media about AI, where you know you can prompt
AI tell me a joke about Christians, It'll tell you a.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
Joke about Christians.

Speaker 13 (01:57:43):
Tell me a joke about Islam or Jewish people say,
I cannot make jokes about religion. I would never offend
people like that. You see that bias in every dynamic.
But the people tend to look at AI and say, hey,
this thing is a truth machine. Whatever it tells me
is the truth. And that's why your colleagues and the

(01:58:05):
legal profession will get completely faked case citations and file
them with judges.

Speaker 2 (01:58:14):
Hey, the truth machine.

Speaker 3 (01:58:15):
Told me this is a case I know.

Speaker 1 (01:58:17):
And you know that is such a sorry state of
the legal profession that any idiot lawyer that would rely
exclusively on what IT churned out wouldn't go back and
check the actual case law, which is easy to do
because many times it makes up case law. It makes
up opinions that don't even exist. I mean that is
ultimately that is the ultimate form of malpractice right there.
It should be disbarred. Brian We covered a lawyer at

(01:58:41):
Sullivan and Cromwell.

Speaker 11 (01:58:42):
Who did that?

Speaker 13 (01:58:42):
They charged three thousand dollars an hour. Did you ever
build three thousand dollars?

Speaker 5 (01:58:46):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:58:46):
No, let me guess New York or DC based.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
I think New York.

Speaker 13 (01:58:51):
Yeah, you know, The point is that that's actually the
biggest challenge here is people, whether they're you know, very
well educated white call professionals like lawyers, whether there are
eighteen year olds voting for the first time. The concept
among the rate the general pubject is AI will tell
me the truth.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
It's the world's best researcher.

Speaker 13 (01:59:12):
And in fact, you're getting a heavily biased, you know,
heavily skewed and sometimes purely made up version of what
big tech wants.

Speaker 4 (01:59:22):
To tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
Well, a nice article from Handa nets and talking about
your discussion on Breitbart News Daily. It's an article caption
exclusive column madeine Breitbart readers can force Google's hand despite
ongoing censorship. It breaks down a lot of the numbers
and shows how overwhelming the biases at Google. But that's
just one of many of the left leaning options that

(01:59:44):
are out there pivoting over and how artificial intelligence and
electric vehicles have screwed up forward. Well, you have to
enlighten me about this one.

Speaker 2 (01:59:52):
Colin.

Speaker 3 (01:59:53):
Let's story behind this.

Speaker 11 (01:59:54):
This is fun.

Speaker 13 (01:59:55):
This is the kind of story you drool over, Brian.
That's why I made sure it included. Yes, Ford came
out with some numbers. Ford didn't have a great quarter. Okay,
their sales were down ten percent, which is a bit
a lot because Ford is, you know, certainly the most
successful domestic car company, and the headlines out there all

(02:00:20):
concentrated on what you might consider typical business problems. The
the F series trucks, which are Ford's bread and butter,
they had supply chain troubles. Aluminum was in shortages, and
so you know that impacted sales bright fart. We always
dig past the initial headline because we want to know
what's really going on, and we found this the juicy

(02:00:43):
news was being hidden. So the juicy news was Ford's
electric vehicle sales went down forty percent and the quarter
no one wants electric vehicles in America. And the only
time they were selling well is when either it makes
you a wonderful, great, virtuous person to own a tesla,
because we went through that era before he turned conservative,

(02:01:06):
and when the government would pay you off with tax credits,
so the tax credits went away. No one's buying ev
so you look at forward. The interesting story about Ford
is Ford realized people don't want evs. They took a
massive restructuring charge to change their business up and turn

(02:01:26):
away from evs, the largest restructuring fee in corporate America
history for the car industry. But they keep trying to
push it. They keep coming back saying, oh, we have
new evs that are even better, and people are just
like make great forward cars and trucks. So you know,
evs are the huge component of the sales problem for Ford,

(02:01:50):
yet they keep trying to push them. The other fun
story out of Ford, and this is a classic AI story.
They got read of a bunch of senior engineers and technicians,
the kind of guys who know every little bit of
the cars in the programming world. They're called gray beards
because they usually look a little like Gandalf, you know,
the big gray beards. They replaced them with AI because hey,

(02:02:13):
it's a new era. AI can do your job. And
then they started getting quality problem after quality problem, and
Ford had to go back and rehire these guys that
they either reassigned or let go because they had to
say hey, and this is the shaker. They had to
say on the record, Hey, AI doesn't have the institutional knowledge.

(02:02:34):
It doesn't know how our products work. So we've gone
from AI knows everything to UPSI. AI doesn't know how
to build cars, right, so we got to hire back
to humans who do well.

Speaker 2 (02:02:43):
Isn't that the nature of AI?

Speaker 1 (02:02:44):
It goes out into the world and literally gobbles up
every piece of information on any given subject matter and
kind of crunches it all together into one big bally
mush and spits out some response meaning. And I read
an article about a Reddit forum that was able to
influence artificial intelligence to be believe that JD. Van Sid
and the President had died from Raby's because they flooded.

(02:03:05):
They flooded the internet with stories about that, plus follow
up stories and fake posts that commented on the fact
that they had died from Raby's, so much so that
if you went to the search engine and asked about it,
it spit out a note that said, well, Donald Trump
and Jdvans are dead from Raby's.

Speaker 2 (02:03:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:03:22):
To be even more specific, JD Vance got Raby's and
bit Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:03:27):
There you go, Adding to the absurdity what it believed
was true.

Speaker 13 (02:03:31):
Right, Brian, This is a concept called AI poisoning or
model poisoning.

Speaker 2 (02:03:36):
I love that name.

Speaker 13 (02:03:37):
Yeah, And this as companies and as organizations try to
use AI more, this is going to happen more and more,
and the results are going to be bigger and bigger.
So with AI poisoning, a relatively small group of pranksters
can push an idea. And so in this case, you know,
they started making memorial posts rib rip j Devance. You know,

(02:04:01):
I'm so bet sorry that's happened. And here's how the
type of rabies they got. And the AI doesn't know.

Speaker 3 (02:04:09):
It sucks up the data, as you said, and said.

Speaker 13 (02:04:12):
Gosh, Trump and Jdvans are dead. It doesn't have the
critical reasoning to try to figure out is this true?
You know, is Bripbart talking about this as if it
wouldn't be our headline? And well, of course, you know
they carefully teach the AI don't listen to Bripbart, right,
But you know, it doesn't try to figure out anything.
It just spits out, Hey, Trump is dead from rabies.

(02:04:35):
He was bit by JD. Vance, you know, tragic story.
And that so that's called model poisoning. And what you're
going to see is as companies use AI where they shouldn't,
that's going to be a new form of economic warfare.
You know, if you are China and you don't you're
going to compete with Ford, Maybe you teach the AI

(02:04:56):
to say things about Ford or any company. You know,
you you listening to this show with a small business
or a job at some company, you could lose your
job because you know, AI is flooded with stories saying
your employer did something bad, you know, And it's got
to think about how things spread way back in the day, Brian,
when you and I were young. You know, my mom

(02:05:18):
wouldn't let me drink mountain dew because the rumor spread
that you know, it'll make you sterile, right or red
Eminem's went away because the red will cause cancer. We're
going that's going to be turbocharged. When people believe everything
AI says, they go to their AI and it's been
poisoned and says, you know, Brian Thomas did X. We

(02:05:38):
already see cases of that where you know, people have
been accused of terrible crimes like child molization. Senator Marshall
Blackburn was accused by Google's AI of sexual harassment, and
you know it went after them, but you know regular
Joe or small business. Will you be able to go
after AI after the damage is done?

Speaker 1 (02:06:00):
Hardly, Colin maydine. Fascinating conversation. Of course, all the problems
associated with AI not all good, clearly. And question is
whether we'll actually be ready for prime time, become something
we can rely on. I am skeptical of that as well, Colin.
Thank you so much for your time in the work
you do bright Bart appreciate you and the entire bright
Bar team each and every day I rely on you,

(02:06:20):

Speaker 3 (02:08:25):
It's always a pleasure to have you on my program.
Always a pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (02:08:30):
Pete Hagzeth keeping his head down of late. Haven't seen
him pop up and talk about war with Iranians, although
Donald Trump yesterday. And here's where we get to ask you.
We're either gonna make a deal or we're gonna finish
the job, okay, and it won't be tough to finish
the job. I'd rather make a deal because I don't
want to affect ninety one million people. We can knock
down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out

(02:08:51):
their energy supply. They don't have any money now, we
haven't given them any money. Basically, Hey, we're working on
a deal of springing from the Memorandum of Understanding. But
if that doesn't work out, the bomb's going to start driving.
Nothing has really changed here, has it, Daniel Davis.

Speaker 14 (02:09:06):
Well, no, it hasn't. Nothing has changed really since the
early stages of this war. And that is the number
one issue. That the only issue that matters. Who has
controlled the Strait of Horror moves and that is Iran
right now, even during this period of the Memorandum of Understanding,
no matter what President Trump says or what anybody else
wants in the region, Iran calls the shots. And that

(02:09:29):
we've seen just in the last few days, when ships
don't do what they're told, when they try to go
through what we call the safe waters of the Southern
Passa on the Omani waters, Iran will attack the ships.
And so far there's been no consequence to that because
we can't. If we start ramping up the fire, as
President Trump alloted that quote you just attributed to him

(02:09:51):
a minute ago where he said, yeah, you know, we'll
we'll either get the deal we want or we'll go
back to bombing.

Speaker 3 (02:09:55):
We can't go back to bombing, Brian.

Speaker 14 (02:09:57):
We already proved that we can't get through their missile
see these under granite mountains, and they will continue to
have a capacity to do exactly what they did here
in the last twenty four hours or so. And until
we come to griswith that, this is not going to
get sold.

Speaker 1 (02:10:12):
Well, the whole war then if you want to call
it a war, conflict or dispute with the Iranians has
become about the straight of hor moves and not really
the nuclear program that was the predictive for starting to
drop the bombs in the first place. Then well that's
for sure the case, Listen. We just got to be honest,
that was never the real issue.

Speaker 14 (02:10:31):
Because President Trump, by his own assessment and by the
Jadavance assessment and by a Secretary Hexhets assessment.

Speaker 3 (02:10:37):
Obliterated it a year earlier.

Speaker 14 (02:10:40):
In Operation mid not Hammer, and by all accounts it's
still buried under rubble. And we say it has been
even the Iranians don't dispute that. The IEA doesn't dispute that.
So that's never been the issue. That was not really
the reason why we went to war. We just have
to be honest with that. But now that because we
went to war, whatever the reason was, the consequence immediate
was the loss of control over the straight of Horror

(02:11:02):
moves and everything has been focused on getting that back.
Because we have they basically got our economy and advised grip,
they have the leverage to compel compliance with the terms
that they want, which is control of the straight coming
out of this no matter what happens, that's what they
say they are unequivocally going to maintain. And right now

(02:11:23):
we don't have any way to change that dynamic. We've
got to be honest on that too well.

Speaker 1 (02:11:27):
I And if we started dropping bombs on their infrastructure,
a lot of a civilian infrastructure, but you know, prevent
their economy from moving on at all by blowing up
the bridges and blowing up carg Island, I guess, or
their oil infrastructure, that still does not take away their
control of the Straight of Horror moves.

Speaker 3 (02:11:41):
I mean, am am, I accurate? And that boiled down assessment.

Speaker 14 (02:11:44):
Well, that's that's the secondary problem that they would still
even control the Straight, because you're right that, no, none
of that stuff would have anything to do with their
physical control of the Straight. They could suffer the economic
deprivation for an extended period of time, as they have
physically proven during the privation of the eight years of
the Iran War and all the consequences that came along

(02:12:05):
with that. But that's not the biggest issue. The one
that's primarily that the minute we start dropping bombs on
infrastructure and oil facilities, et cetera, they immediately launch counter
strikes against our allies in the region on their oil infrastructure,
permanently gouging the flow of oil for the entire world
for an extended period of time, and then we are

(02:12:27):
screwed economically. So in my view, that is an empty
threat that it may play well for the cameras here,
but everybody knows, to include President Trump, we can't go
down that pack because we can't defend against those attacks
and we cannot prevent the destruction, and we can't suffer
that kind of loss on a permanent basis.

Speaker 1 (02:12:49):
Well, I suppose the other reality, and I don't know
how this factors in there are a lot of easy
targets floating around the gulf right there, because they can't
get through the strait of our moves. Aren't there hundreds,
if not thousands of ships just right there? I mean
that is correct. My submarine or friend Mike is out
there going. You know, we call boats, we call them targets.
It's like they're easy to hit, and so that is

(02:13:09):
a that's a that's an area that's right for for
missiles and drone strikes as well.

Speaker 3 (02:13:14):
Then right well from both sides.

Speaker 14 (02:13:17):
I mean we got subs, they got subs, they have torpedos,
We have torpedos. There's mines, and then all the categories
of drones, the missiles, even artillery if it gets down
to that, there are so many ways that Iran can
hit civilian ships in All you got to do is
hit a few like we're seeing here, and then the
civilian carriers aren't going to risk their cargo and their

(02:13:37):
ships unless they have some assurances. It doesn't matter what
we say, it's it's open, you can trust us whatever.
They have to believe that or they're not gonna even
make the attempt. And right now they're not in any
large numbers anyway.

Speaker 3 (02:13:51):
Well, and I'm not.

Speaker 1 (02:13:52):
Sure if the foot dragging is genuine or is being
done for strategic purposes like dragging this through the November election.
But no one even sees they have a clear concept
of what the memorandum of understanding means, which means it's
a misnomer to call it a memorandum of understanding.

Speaker 2 (02:14:06):
There is no understanding.

Speaker 14 (02:14:08):
Well, it's an understanding in such that we just need
to be clear on what it is understanding. It's an
understanding that we were going to get enter into a
sixty day cease for our period of negotiations to try
to solve all the issues. It didn't solve anything by
itself beyond we'll talk for sixty days and under these
conditions that both sides say that they'll agree to, and

(02:14:28):
both sides accuse the other side of not living up
to even those but they're still talking through the intermediaries.

Speaker 3 (02:14:33):
So there are some talks going on. But you talk
about dragging your feet.

Speaker 14 (02:14:37):
In my view, the Iranian side has every incentive to say, hey,
here are our non negotiables here, and if you meet them, fine,
we'll go ahead and do it. But if you don't,
We're not going to have full release of the straight
up horrormonies because not just the elections, but it's the economy.
We cannot survive another few months. We might not even

(02:14:58):
be able to survive another few weeks of this. About
a third of the straight up horn moves is actually
open in terms of flow of oil. I don't know
that our economy can survive too much longer than that without.

Speaker 3 (02:15:09):
Some real problems, frightening stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:15:11):
All right, let's pivot over to I guess Kiev really
got hit by the Russian forces. I saw the video
of the missile factory getting hit. What an amazing explosion
that was. But they're definitely being bombed. What what What
recent developments can you provide to us on the on
the Ukrainian front?

Speaker 3 (02:15:29):
Yeah, listen this.

Speaker 14 (02:15:31):
Mark Ruta this morning from you know, in the early
stages of this Natal summit, has said that they're going
to release a very strongly anti Russian statement uh tomorrow
the from on Wednesday from the from Turkey where they're
meeting in Anchora, and.

Speaker 3 (02:15:49):
They say that that is basically not just our pacing threat.

Speaker 14 (02:15:52):
That's what we used to call China's prep may still
do their outright saying Russia is the enemy and we'll
see what kind of actions are going to take. That
is definitely landing clear in Russia, because yesterday Dmitry Peskov said, listen,
this is no longer a special military operation. It is
now a war and we'll see what that means. But
that has always been a really important distinction on the

(02:16:14):
Russian side. They've always said it's not a full war
because that carries legal and other economic ramifications. It's just
an SMO what they call it. And now that he
has said that out loud, everybody's going to be looking
to see what does that mean, because if they expand
beyond this, and he, in the context of that statement
said listen, we see that the Europeans are joining with

(02:16:38):
Ukraine against us, and they are now directly involved in
the war, and that opens the door for My biggest
concern is that Russia may say the only way to
end this war and to stop this support from the
West is to strike the West. Article five be damned,
and they implied that, So that is my biggest warrior
going forward.

Speaker 1 (02:16:57):
Okay, just from a practical standpoint, I hear that it
is obviously a genuine concern because of our defense agreements
and mutual defense agreements, dragging us into what obviously would
be called World War three. But viewing the problems Russia
has had trying to take over Ukraine, this is five
years and they've been add it, can they take on NATO.

Speaker 14 (02:17:19):
Well, here's the thing that implies that Russia has been
doing everything that it can to try to win, and
it hasn't been able to succeed.

Speaker 3 (02:17:27):
And that is the narrative in the West. That is
not my assessment.

Speaker 14 (02:17:30):
My analysis says that Russia has been keeping steady pressure
along this roughly one thousand kilometer front to continue to
bleed Ukraine of men. But they have been stockpiling all
the key weapons systems that you need to fight NATO
because they realize if they go too far or if
NATO decides to join in, the Russian side had to

(02:17:51):
be able to fight the thirty two member alliance. And
here's what's been happening Brian unbeknownst to many people, while
Russia has been in massively stockpiling and having its defense
industry so that it can produce drones in massive quantities,
artillery shells, missiles, new categories of missiles, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (02:18:11):
They're producing way more than they use each day, so
they have.

Speaker 14 (02:18:15):
Been stockpiling this are On the other hand, we're running out,
especially of packed three interceptions. We just burned through a
whole bunch in Iran. We gave a bunch to Israel,
we gave a bunch to Iran, Ukraine over.

Speaker 3 (02:18:28):
The years, et cetera. And now then Zelenski's begging for more,
but we don't have them to give. Nobody has them
to give. And you see what's happening.

Speaker 14 (02:18:36):
So if we're short on air defense, even that one category,
and we can also add defensive categories, we don't have
enough to defend against the rush it if they do
have the offensive capacity. So it is not a fair
fight right now, I'll just tell you, and that is
going to be a shock to many listeners, But it's true.
They have much more capacity than the entire Alliance because
we have dwindled our supplies, and you and I have

(02:18:58):
talked about this for the past year or so.

Speaker 3 (02:19:00):
This puts us at risk.

Speaker 1 (02:19:02):
Well, and of course you can go back decades and
NATO hasn't bothered keeping its armies up and stocked or
even even with live human beings. As members of military,
so they got a long row to ho in front
of them to rebuild that to the extent they even do.
But you're years and years away from that. How long
do you mean if you had to guess right now,

(02:19:22):
assuming we don't continue to run through ammunition supplies, how
long would it take us to get back on even
footing with in terms of what we need to defend ourselves,
maybe involved in a get involved in a broader contact
with a conflict with Russia? I mean, are we decades years?
I mean, what's your assessment on that? Four We part
company to David Davis.

Speaker 14 (02:19:40):
At a minimum, at a minimum ten years, But that
would even be if we significantly ramped up production capacity
and stopped bleeding everywhere else and getting it at all
these so called smaller wars. If we stop doing that,
it would take us a good year, because you have
to it takes so many years to ramp up production
to any many four the mouth and the current status

(02:20:01):
of what we're on right now, it would probably take
more than ten years, So we would have to accelerate
our capabilities to get to the ten year mark. Russia,
on the other hand, is in production now, so their
stockpiles grow by the day, when ours would take years
to even get up to the point to where we
can meaningfully increase our current stockpiles.

Speaker 1 (02:20:19):
And so to the people who don't like the reality,
this cold water dose the reality you throw on things
from time to time, Daniel Davis, this is not you
making this up. You have resources and sources in the
know on this where you're getting your information. I just
want to clear the air on that one.

Speaker 14 (02:20:34):
Every bit of this is open source. It's in the
Washington Post, it's in the Wall Street Journal, it's in
the New York Times.

Speaker 3 (02:20:40):
None of this stuff is hidden. It's all out there
for anyone to see.

Speaker 14 (02:20:43):
The Institute for the Study of War talks about a
lot of this stuff, especially on our capacity and on
the Russian side. It's also open source, so there's been
leaked intelligence from the United States.

Speaker 3 (02:20:53):
This stuff is all out there, but people cannot bring
their mind to recognize the ramifications of it.

Speaker 2 (02:20:59):
That's the problem.

Speaker 1 (02:21:00):
We consult a lot of the same source as Daniel Davis,
which is why I guess much of the chagrin of
some of my listeners. I don't push back on a
lot of the things you say because I think you're accurate.

Speaker 2 (02:21:09):
You know what I mean. You're used to them.

Speaker 13 (02:21:12):
Believe me.

Speaker 14 (02:21:13):
I'm on our side. You and I want us to
stop weakening ourselves. But until we're honest with ourselves, we're
never gonna get there.

General apology the listening audience for all the computer glitches
and problems we had this morning.

Speaker 2 (02:23:53):
No, it is not Russ's fault.

Speaker 1 (02:23:56):
It was a general, widespread iHeartMedia computer glitch sits when
we had crashed, and all kinds of problems this morning.
So my sincere apology is hoping that things improved by
tomorrow prediction, since Graham Platner is now having massive problems. Yes,
he's been accused of rape, and since the woman is
a Democrat, she only came out because she wanted the
world to know who this guy is. Demonstrably an idiot

(02:24:18):
and a jerk and referred to himself as a communist
and hates the military, and his online social media posts
are just abhorrent. He's the guy with a Nazi tattoo
that should have runned been disqualified from the get go.
They finally got their opportunity, so with all the Democrats
who had previously supported him lining up to say they
reject him as a human being in essence, that's my words,
not theirs, they get an opportunity to pick someone else.

(02:24:41):
So he's got to withdraw by five pm on the thirteenth,
and then they can pick a new candidate. The Democrats
will then have until five pm on July twenty seventh
to pick someone else. Here's the answer to the question,
have they gone full socialist and the Democrat Party? I
think that answer will be will the Democrat Party in Maine?
Assuming he does bow out, which I think he's being

(02:25:01):
pressured to do. So whether once or not, will they
pick a DSA type person to run in his place,
or would they pick a more moderate Democrat that may
speak volumes to where they are really going in the
Democrat Party anyway? Or on the program, Briga McGown was
