Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas 01/02/25

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Is it just me or does it feel like a Monday?
I mean I've had to check more than once to
confirm that today is indeed a Thursday. And these holidays, Joe,
I don't know about you, these holidays in the middle
of the week, man, I get my days just completely

(00:39):
mixed up, especially after their football That's true. Although we
didn't have the Sugar Bowl yesterday, we might have it tonight.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
But in any case, it is five am on this
Thursday morning, second day of January twenty twenty five. Happy
New Year to you. I'm Dan Carroll And for Brian Thomas.
Is Brian Thomas back tomorrow or Monday?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Monday?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
So he'll be back Monday. So I get my chance
to sit in one more day and hang out with
the with the great Brian Thomas audience. And you know
I walked in. Well, let me start with this. I
got up this morning and whenever I agree to do

(01:29):
this shift. And I've been doing early morning news and
radio for a long time, on and off, more off
than on in the last few years. But I love
coming in here do the early morning shift. I don't
have a problem getting out of bed early in the morning.
But there's always that little bit of that little bit

(01:50):
of apprehension, and I you know, I tell Joe, yeah,
I'm going to come in on this day, and you
know you need me on this day to do for
Brian Thomas show.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'll be there.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
There's always that little bit of a thought in the
back of my head, what if I.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Don't wake up on time? What if I don't get up?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Joe?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
What would you do if I if I didn't show
up here in the you know, early morning. He's got backups.
But I'm thinking. But I always think that, and I
always make doubly sure that my alarm is set that
I know it's kind of going to go off at
about three fifteen in the morning and I'm going to
jump out of bed, and that I really don't feel

(02:29):
good about it until it's I don't know, a few
minutes after four o'clock and I'm on the road and
I'm driving to the station, and that's when I know
that this is really going to happen. But there's always
that little thing in the back of I don't know
what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
And I did.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I did a couple of days last week, just one
day this week but it's it's always it's always a
little bit of an accomplishment to overcome that.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's like any New Year's resolution you have anything like that,
the first thing you gotta do is you got to
you got to take that first step.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
You got to get started.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
That's the hardest part to a lot of these New
Year's resolutions. And I don't really do New Year's resolutions,
although I do have one this year, and that is
the cell phone I have is a it's an Android,
it's old.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
It is starting to swirl the drain. I'll be Joe.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I'm at that point now where I'll look at my
battery life and I'll have one minute, I'll have forty
or forty five percent battery life, and then two minutes
later I've got nothing. And I think that's a pretty
clear indicator that this thing is on its last legs.
So where I used to be able to get away
with charging it up once a day, now it's on

(03:46):
the charger two, three, four times a day. And when
I've got it on the charger, I'm running around the house,
I'm doing other stuff, and I kind of forget about
it and I get back and oh my god, I
got text messages, emails, all this stuff, and so people
think I'm not responding to them.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
But that's me.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I got up this morning, come outside and I look
up a crystal clear sky. You see all kinds of stars.
It's brisk, I mean, it's cold, cold enough to get
your attention. And I'm thinking to myself, man, is what
a beautiful morning. It's clear, you can see everything. And
then by the time I got here, cloud cover had

(04:29):
moved in, so we're I mean, and I'm looking at
the forecast and there's there's cloudy, chance of snow, maybe
some snow on the ground, so.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
We will get to that in a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
The other thing is I walk into the studio this
morning and on the console here in the studio is
a printed out version of the Festivist Report, and it's
I don't know, probably twenty twenty five pages.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
And we talked about this.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I think it came out it was either last week
or late the week before. In any case, I was
thinking to myself, you know, there there's so much stuff
in there. I talked about it on this station, I
talked about it down the hall, and there's so many
things in there that there's no way we covered it

(05:18):
all just it's there's just no way. And I'm thinking
to myself, we should still be talking about that. We
should be examining something like that thoroughly, to talk about
all the waste and everything else that goes on with
this government and how much money is spent on.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Just just garbage. But no, we can't know.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
No, we're not talking about that anymore because now we
have terrorist attacks to deal with. And if you listen
to the news yesterday, you've got this, uh, this police chief,
Hanny Kirkpatrick, who I didn't know until this morning, used
to be the police chief of Oakland. She was fired,

(06:03):
sued the city of Oakland, a jury found that she
was wrongly terminated there, and then if you google headlines
about this police chief, you'll see that she was investigated
earlier this year for hitting a couple of pedestrians while
she was driving. So, look, I don't know anything about

(06:25):
the police chief in New Orleans, but is there is
it right to ask questions about the leadership there? I
mean I think so, And especially when you get to
the point where you have thousands of people on the
street and you know they're going to be there, and

(06:45):
you can't secure that street. I think we do a
great job of that here in Cincinnati. And I was
thinking of all the events that we have in Cincinnati
where we know there are going to be thousands of
people out on the street. And forget just the regular
events like a Bengals game or a Reds game or
a concert downtown. I'm talking about Opening Day, Taste of

(07:11):
Cincinnati october Fest. You've been down there when we have
those events, you know what it's like trying to get
in there. I mean there are barricades all over the place,
and getting a vehicle in there, you know it's not
going to happen. But somehow in New Orleans on New

(07:31):
Year's Eve. Does anyone think that on New Year's Eve
in New Orleans that there's not going to be people
out on the street on Bourbon Street partying all night long?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, I would think.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I would think they had a pretty good clue that
that was going to be a pretty busy place and
that there was a nationally televised football game Notre Dame
and the University of Georgia, thousands of their fans are
going to be in town. Were they likely to be

(08:08):
down on Bourbon Street partying and raising hell, I think so.
And so when you have a national event like this,
local police tends to work with federal agencies to provide
security for those events. And so when I get up

(08:30):
and I see the news yesterday morning the ten people
are dead and now the number is fifteen dead of
this dude driving his truck into that crowd, I'm thinking
to myself, this is a pretty basic thing for security
is blocking off the streets, making sure vehicles cannot go

(08:54):
down those streets.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
And that very basic task failed.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
And we've got all the you know, all the the
FBI is raise your hand if you're if you're.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
If you're feeling good about the FBI investigating this.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Raise your hand if you're convinced that they'll get to
the bottom of this and eventually we'll have all the answers.
When John Kennedy was at that news conference yesterday and
and he said what he said, he said, look, I
want you to do your investigation. He said, he's spoken
to the head of Homeland Security, Alejandro Majorcis, who's been

(09:40):
lying to us repeatedly for the last four years about
homeland security, the border being secured. Joe Biden being sharp
as attack, lie after lie after lie, and Kennedy said,
do your investigation and then tell the American people the truth.

(10:02):
And there's a reason he said that, because he knows
a hell of a lot more about this, about what's
really going on than we do. And this is this
is his home turf, and he's not happy about it,
and I'm not happy about it, and you shouldn't be
happy about it, and no one should be happy about it.

(10:28):
I mean, my god, I get up yesterday morning, twenty
twenty five, brand new year is going to be a
great year.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Twenty twenty four is in the rear view mirror. Thank god.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
This administration of the nightmare of Joe Biden and company
is over.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
And we've got a terrorist attack.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
We've got the Tesla truck blowing up at Trump Tower
in Las Vegas. I see video of this dude on Joe.
Did you see that video of the dude on the
subway in New York pushing that guy in front of
the train. This is how this year is going to start.
On top of all the aviation stuff we had going

(11:06):
on last week, there's a lot to get to. So
we will do that during the course of the morning.
And I hope you can stick around for it. Dan
Hills will be here in the seven o'clock hour and
we'll get his take on security and all the rest
of it. And then our buddy Kurt Hartman will be
joining us in the eight o'clock hour, and there's a
lot of political stuff that I want to get to

(11:27):
with him. Also, the crime numbers are out for the
city of Cincinnati and.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
We'll touch on that as well.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
So a lot of ground to cover this morning, and
I hope you can stick around for Dan Carroll in
for Brian Thomas on fifty five krc V talk station.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
You paid him.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
It's no Joe's asking me if I'm in the twilight
z on I'm just listening to this music.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I like this music. We might be in the twilight zone.
It's Stan Carroll and for Brian Thomas.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
One of the websites I go to every day is
John Solomon's site, Just the Just the News. A great
reporting there, and they put this piece up this morning.
A year before a twin New Year's Day incidents in
New Orleans and Las Vegas dark in the start of
twenty twenty five, the Department of Homeland Security commissioned a

(12:34):
study that warrened America was facing a new era of
terrorism and was ill prepared to protect citizens from that threat.
Attacks on soft targets and crowded places represent a significant
challenge to the security environment. RAN Corporation's Homeland Security Operational

(12:55):
Analysis Center reported to the agency, urging a signific could
change in posture for a security apparatus that spent two
decades hardening defense against the sort of foreign inspired and
spectacular attacks that al Qaeda pulled off on September eleventh,
twenty twenty one, rather than flying planes in the hardened

(13:17):
security targets of major institutions like the Pentagon or the
World Trade Center towers. A growing number of foreign inspired
or domestic grown terrorists and mass shooters have deployed low
level tactics, vehicles, improvised explosive devices, and guns, And weren't
all three of those used yesterday in that attack Fox

(13:40):
News and I guess there's some question this morning about
whether or not they really did find the ied So
Fox News was reporting yesterday the two of them had
been disabled. But we'll see if that reporting continues about
the possible IEDs that were discovered in and around the

(14:00):
scene there and I guess that's why they canceled the
game yesterday, because they weren't sure if the Supernome was
being targeted as well. But I go back to the
report vehicles, IEDs and guns on targets with less security
but still house large numbers of potential human victims. Drivers
in Wisconsin in twenty twenty two Germany in twenty twenty

(14:23):
two plowed through Christmas Day gatherings with extreme wethought consequences.
Shooters from Buffalo, New York, to Charleston, South Carolina, Orlando, Florida,
San Bernardino, California claimed numerous victims by focusing on stores, schools,
houses of worship that have lower security postures. Plots the

(14:46):
plant improvised explosive devices multiplied in the last decade to
just a news review of ten years a mass casualty
incident showed. Meanwhile, such soft targets have been provided little
training and security guidance. Rand warned, So this report came

(15:07):
out a year ago, and where was Homeland Security on this?
Maybe they were working with local departments. Dan Hills might
have some insight on that. We will find out. We
know they've been very concerned about diversity and equity and inclusion.

(15:31):
We are fully aware of that. We know they've been
busy gaslighting about what's happening at the border. We know
they have concerned themselves with making sure illegal aliens in
this country get treated as kindly as they possibly can.
That's the kind we know that. You know they've been

(15:53):
telling us that Joe Biden's sharp as attack. But when
the serious business of what they are suppose to be
doing confronts them, what happens?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Then?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Anyone, anyone got a clue on that? We found little,
specifically on how to secure open spaces and non secured
buildings that almost by definition do not have more intensive
security measures. The report warned. What little is present sometimes
includes surveillance cameras and other sensors for areas that have

(16:26):
shot detection. The only reliable security measures present, however, is
the bystanders themselves. The bystanders themselves are our security measures.
There's a little bit more to this, but we got
to get to a quick break here, so we will
go ahead and.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Do that now.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
But the one thing that and Joe, I haven't seen
all the reporting on this yet. Has the FBI come
out yet and said this guy was on our radar. Okay,
we know he was in the army. They made a
big deal yesterday about him being a citizen of the
United States. I don't think Donald Trump helped anything with

(17:08):
the statement that he put out. Uh, he's I mean,
he's just got a coolest jets sometimes when it comes
to attaching everything to the border. So I think that
was a little bit of a misstep by the Trumpster.
So now we'll continue on with this. And I'm just
really angry about this about how this whole thing could

(17:30):
come to pass. Five one, three, seven, fifty five hundred
the number to call if you want to get on board.
Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRCV talk station.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
I am sick.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five krc I've been
talking about this report, and justin news that the RAM
Corporation put out a report over a year ago talking
about soft targets exactly like what happened in New Orleans,
and they write that the report was as academic as
it was prescient. On Wednesday, police said an Army veteran

(18:13):
apparently radicalized to support ISIS, drove his vehicle bearing an
ISIS flag into the crowd in the French Quarter, New Orleans,
where scorers were celebrating New Year's Eve, claiming fifteen lives
and injuring many more. The driver, forty two year old
Sam should Ding Jabbar of Texas, came armed with guns

(18:38):
to shoot officers, had explosives both inside his car and
planted in the neighborhood he targeted. FBI says its terror attack,
and they believe others still uncaptured, assisted it.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Well.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I certainly hope that.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Those who were also involved in this are looking over
their soul at the very least this morning, and I
certainly hope that we find out during the course of
the day today that these individuals have been apprehended. The
FBI said it was a terror attack, and let me see,
I already already talked about that. I meanwhile, another driver

(19:16):
pulled up to the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas and
detonated a rented Tesla cyber truck filled with fireworks and
explosive materials, killing one and injuring seven. And that is
a very strange thing that I think is going on there.
And I saw a picture of the back of that truck,

(19:38):
and you can see that some of the there were
fuel containers in there, what they call camping fuel and
left over fireworks, So I don't know why. Maybe that's
a basic terrorist explosive device is just load up a

(20:02):
bit of a pickup truck with all kinds of fireworks
and watch it go boom.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I don't know. I have to find out more about that.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
FBI said they're trying to determine if the terrorist attack
is related to the one in New Orleans. Both drivers
rented from the same rental company, heightening concerns. Whatever the
final outcome, the incident's reaffirmed that soft targets remain soft
and easily accessed, creating potential catastrophic opportunities for bad actors

(20:34):
when they are crowded like a hotel or a public
celebration for a New Year's holiday. The vulnerabilities, coupled with
four years of an insecure border under Joe Biden and
liberal defund the police movement in big cities has created
a perfect storm, one lawmaker told Just the News. With

(20:54):
the Democrats defund the police and overboard open borders policy fiascos,
it was always just ann matter of time before America
would experience these terrorist type of attacks that Senator Ron
Johnson of Wisconsin, a member of the Senate Homeland Security
Committee soon to be chairman of that investigative body. Johnson's

(21:16):
home state experienced the Christmas Parade massacre carried out by
a driver in twenty twenty two, and Waukesha is worn
for years that America has too many soft targets. President
Trump has some major Democrat created messes to clean up,
he added. The question of local police capabilities has already
surfaced in the New Orleans strategy, where officials admitted security

(21:42):
barriers known as ballards that were intended to protect pedestrians
for vehicles had been temporarily removed and were to be
replaced because they malfunctioned at times before the attacker drove
through Bourbon Street shortly after three am. Ballards were not

(22:04):
up because they are near completion, with the expectation of
being completed before the Super Bowl. Mayor LaToya Cantrell admitted
Wednesday afternoon, So for some reason, these ballards, which are
essentially posts in the ground, Joe, Joe, they do google

(22:28):
ballards right now and see what you come up with,
and you'll see picture after picture after picture of what
essentially is a post in the ground and you're and
you're telling me that that that these things, Well, if
you have several of them in one location, and I've

(22:49):
seen them downtown. They've got them in front of the
h what's the new Music's the Brady Music Center down there,
and there's other facilities downtown that have them, and you
can take them in the ground, you can put them in,
you can take them out. They weren't working, Joe, Does

(23:09):
it looked like there's a lot of moving parts to
a ballard.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
No.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
No, So this excuse doesn't make any sense to me.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Let's see, the lack of barriers and the ease the
driver found in driving into the French Quarter is particularly alarming,
you think, given that the city is hosting, or was hosting,
a major college championship football game, the Sugar Bowl, on
Wednesday night, and the Super Bowl is only a month

(23:45):
a month away, there's obviously a lot of blame to
go around for this terrorist attack in New Orleans. Former
CIA analyst National Security Council Chief Fred Fletts told just
The News security barriers in the street that were put
in place to prevent this type of attack, we're not activated.
That's the fault of New Orleans police and officials. I

(24:08):
can't imagine that. And I'm going to talk to Dan
Hills about this in a seven o'clock hour that if
we had a major event in Cincinnati and whatever devices
they use to put in place to blog, because there's
all kinds of things they use to block off streets

(24:29):
that you couldn't figure out another way to block off
access to vehicles of these streets. This is, to me,
is beyond comprehension. And I hate to criticize police. I
love police. I have family members who are police, and
I hate to criticize them, but this is, to my

(24:51):
way of thinking, this is this is right, This is leadership.
This is a failure of leadership. And I'm very upset
ab this, and I know a lot of others are too.
John is on the line. We'll get to John's call
right after this. As we roll on till nine o'clock
this morning, Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas on fifty
five k RC, The Talk Station.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station, Dan Carroll ford Bryan
Thomas talking.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
About this piece and just the news, looking at what
happened in New Orleans yesterday and talking about thet the
Rand Corporation that put out a report a year ago
talking about soft targets just like this and that the
type of vulnerability vulnerabilities that we have there. And John

(25:43):
from Cincinnati would like to weigh in. And John, good morning.
You're on fifty five KRC.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
Yeah, good morning, Dan.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
What you got for us?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
John?

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Turn your radio down?

Speaker 1 (25:57):
And you got to get off the speaker all right,
hold on, hold on, Joe, get them off the speakerphone.
My god, that calls us all kinds of havoc. Now,
johnn you want to call back, that's fine, but you
got to go off the speakerphone. Uh, let's see. All right,
John is back now John, John, did you get here?

Speaker 4 (26:17):
He goes round two. Let's make this real quick. I
have enjoyed your list about you know, the FBI's concerns,
but you left out, you know what about January sixth.
They sure could be concerned about that and track down
all those innocent people that were only protesting for their
civil rights and their liberties and doing exactly what they

(26:39):
had the right to do as red blooded Americans. We
could start right there. Okay, now we can move. We
can all we could right remember that? Or what about
at the schools, you know, when the FBI were there
because the mothers are protesting against the trans agenda. Do
you remember that.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, John, I mean the these government agencies have spent
a lot of time concentrating in these areas when you
have people's lives. I was talking to a guy yesterday
who got a visit from the Secret Service after he
dared to speak out at his school board meeting. And so, yeah,
we've wasted a lot of time and effort tracking down

(27:20):
American citizens who did nothing more than exercise their First
Amendment rights. So a lot of time, effort, and money
and attention was wasted on these efforts, and things like
this are somehow able to slip through the cracks, and
this morning we have fifteen dead people to show for it.
And John, thank you very much for that call. Let's

(27:42):
get back to what mister Flight said here, the former
CIA analyst was talking about this. He says, the Biden
administration has admitted at least two hundred and fifty of
the known migrants that were on the US terrorist list.
I believe a much more larger number of terrorists enter
the country as illegal immigrants or illegal migrants across the

(28:06):
southern border in twenty twenty one. We also have a
Homeland Security Department, an FBI that has lumped radical Islamist terrorists,
a non politically correct term government employees are forbidden to
use with peaceful protesters, such as parents who attended PTA meetings,
pro life protesters, and the January sixth protesters. So exactly

(28:28):
what John was talking about right there, Homeland Security, FBI,
they spent a lot of time looking at people like this.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Not to mention the Department of Defense that.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
The day that this secretary, this Secretary of Defense, Lloyd
Austin came in, what's the first thing he did, Well,
we've got to stand down. We've got to investigate and
find these white racist radicals in the ranks of the
United States military. And yet a guy like this who

(29:03):
was in the military apparently didn't raise a red flag,
didn't raise a concern. We'll find out later more about
this dude that drove the ten. Thankfully he's dead now,
but Flight says he's very concerned the Biden administration and
their mismanagement of our homeland security agencies. Senator John Kennedy,

(29:28):
who was briefed on the New Orleans they call it
a tragedy, and I'm not sure the use of that
word is right or appropriate here. He suggested Americans will
be more alarmed when all the details are eventually made public.
Here's what I want to ask for from the federal government,
Kennedy said, catch these people and then tell the American

(29:50):
people the truth. I don't want you to tell us
anything yet that's going to interfere with the investigation. And
he said, there are things I've been told that I
think are true that I'm not sharing with you today
because it could interfere with the investigation. But more importantly,
and you can read And I was when I heard

(30:11):
him say this yesterday. I was thinking, Man, there's a
lot to read between the lines there when he says,
tell the American people the truth. And I think the
one thing you can say about this administration, from top
to bottom, through and through, is that the time that
this administration has been in office, we have not been
told the truth, not only about stuff like this, but

(30:35):
about anything, anything.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
And this is what we have to show for Joe.
Did I miss a break here? Did we have to? Okay,
let's get a break in here. Then we'll talk to Pat.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
If you want to get on board five one, three, seven,
four nine, fifty five hundred, Dan Carrol, Brian Thomas, fifty
five KRCV talks.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Days the Days of Relaxing in the jew one fifty
five krc DE Talk Station. Good Morning, Happy New Year.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
The second day of January twenty twenty five. Not off
to a great start, talking about this tarriff attack in
New Orleans, and then again we'll get into the the
car that blew up in Las Vegas, and a little
bit stuff like that going on. Dude throwing a guy

(31:34):
in front of the train in New York City. Let's
go to Pat. Pat, You're on fifty five krc Good morning.

Speaker 7 (31:42):
Good morning, Mike. I'm sorry, Dance. I wanted to put
my two cents. We're saying about, you know, back when
the World Trade Center got blown up that one time,
well the summer before two thousand and one, I was
up there for a meeting, and their driveway going down
into the U the bottom of the tower there where

(32:05):
they go into the garage, they had one of these
They had one of these things up where it looked
like little teeth, but they were sticking up out of
the ground. There were solid metal and they were sharp
and if he tried to drive over it was about
a foot up in the air.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
It would a slice your tires a piece of tires.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, I've seen yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (32:26):
If they hear something like that where you know, you could,
I mean, people would have to you know. It would
be one of those deals where they would push push
a button and if somebody was going down the street
like that in that car, if those things came up,
he wouldn't get very far.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Well, you would think, you would, you would think, and
I would think.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Look, I'm not a security expert, but when it comes
to securing an area like that and that they if
someone came to me and said, Dan, you're in charge
of security for this event. It's New Year's Eve, the
French Quarter going to be thousands of people out here.
Here's Bourbon Street, here's you know all the look. I
have never been to New Orleans. I feel bad to

(33:07):
say that, but I've never been there, so you know,
I don't have, uh, you know, what it looks like
in my mind. But if I was there, that's one
of the things, that's one of the that's probably the
area where I would start. Let's figure out how we
block these streets. Off, there's no way I want any
vehicular traffic coming in here from you know whatever. It

(33:27):
is five o'clock the day before until noon the next day,
and we are going to make sure that there's no
way to get a car in here. And if if
I if I think there's an area that's vulnerable, guess
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna have armed police there
keeping watch on those areas. And were they there? Were
they not? I don't know. So I mean these things

(33:50):
and and you know, when Dan Hills is here in
the seven o'clock hour, I'm gonna run those things by
him and get his take on those things.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
But Pat, I think it very.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Much for that call squeeze one morning here before we
get to the break leading up to the news here
at the top of the hour.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
This is Jay. Jay, you run fifty five k RC
Hey J.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Jay, Hello, I get I know he's there. His phone's
not working. Jay one more time? All right, bye, Jay,
Thanks with a good try. Was a good effort. Just
be good, you know, maybe call back after the news
here at the top of the hour. But you know,
the FBI is all over this there. I guess they're
investigating the guys home now and in Texas, and if

(34:36):
there were others involved in this.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Uh, we gotta gotta clean it up. Gotta clean it up.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
But more importantly, we have to take real steps to
make sure that these sorts of things don't happen again.
I mean, it's the very basics when when you're when
you're swinging and missing on basics like this, it just
does not bode well for the rest of the operation.

(35:04):
We got to get to a break news coming up
top of the hour, and then we will continue on
on fifty five krc DE talk station.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
There's no shortage of stuff to talk about in twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Excite and the conversation is happening here on fifty five
KRC the talk station.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
It's the Marketers Report.

Speaker 8 (35:28):
No.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Fifty five kr DE Talk station. Gotta love it.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
What the van Halen rolls out, Dan Carroll Inport Brian Thomas.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Generations swings.

Speaker 9 (35:46):
You know, it's more, it's just something sense the.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Second day of twenty twenty five getting off to a
rough start. You know, it's more, Joe, I don't have
a TV in here, so I can't watch the news.
Have there been any reported terrorist attacks yet?

Speaker 2 (36:03):
This morning.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, I haven't seen anything come across my computer yet,
but we will be keeping an eye out for that.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
I am glad, I always glad to be here in
for the vacationing Brian Thomas, who was back on Monday.
So we'll all be looking forward to that together. But
for now, you got me and uh as always glad
to be here, glad to be talking with you. Five
is the is the number to call. And Bill's been

(36:33):
on hold for a little while. And let's see what
Bill has this morning. And Bill, good morning. You're on
fifty five KRC.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Hey, good morning, Happy New Year, Happy New Year.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
And on this terrorist attack, I called.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
This the case.

Speaker 10 (36:48):
I talked to Brian about this. I've called this over
a year ago. See, this is like such an eight people.
You get him into a nice place, the government's paying
for it, and then what they have to get kicked out?
They ramsacked the place. Okay, this is this is just
the beginning of what's gonna happen, and it's going to
get worse once Trump starts rolding these people up there,

(37:12):
they can get gun. They're going to go in and
slaughter as many people as they can. That's that's that's coming. Well,
this is just a beginning.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Wait wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Bill,
who's gonna slaughter who?

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Okay?

Speaker 10 (37:28):
All these people that's here? Looking at what we've got
over twenty three thousand male Chinese here, We've got people
from Iran. These are people out here that want to
be Americans. They're coming here to do as much destruction
as they can. And Trump was right he said we
got an internal problem, and it's true. Once they start
rounding up these people, they're going to do as much

(37:51):
damage as they can until they get kicked out or
sent back, or they get they get killed.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
All right, Well, Bill, I appreciate the appreciate the phone call,
and I appreciate the inside on that. I don't know
if it's going to be that bad. But look, I've
talked to Tom Homan. I've seen him interviewed on numerous occasions.
I've got a pretty good feeling that he is going
to be on top of this. And is it going
to be pretty No, it's not. Is there going to

(38:18):
be some ugliness involved?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
I think so?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Are Is there going to be a blood bath? I
certainly do not think that is going to happen, and
I certainly hope it does not happen.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Do we need to be.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Prepared for something along those lines, Absolutely, without a doubt,
without question. But I'm not really going to entertain ideas
that it's a given that these things are going to
come to pass. If they do, then I'll own it.
Then I'll you know, I'll admit I was wrong about that.

(38:55):
But no, Bill, I appreciate the phone call, but I'm
just not ready to go down that road yet. Donald
Trump is. And I want to say this about the
New York Post. The New York Post is when I
do show prep for these radio shows that in the
New York Post is an indispensable website. You find so

(39:20):
much great reporting there. And I'm talking about reporting that
is that is bold, that is unafraid, that really has
an allegiance to neither conservative or liberals. I mean they
does it have a conservative bent, I think, without a doubt.
But when conservatives are in the wrong, are they afraid

(39:43):
to call that out? Absolutely not. And so the New
York Post is it gets cited in a lot of
different places, and then you go there and you see
this on your own, Joe, you probably look at the
New York Post on a regular basis, do you know, yeah,
all the time. I mean just and and a lot
of times you find information and reporting in there that

(40:06):
you do not see anywhere else.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
And so the.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
The Editorial Board put out a piece talking about journalists
who've been gaslighting the United States since Biden administration has
been in office.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Should never live it down. That's the that's the title
of the piece.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
And they talk about a video that was posted the
Trump's True social media account that shows clips of Democrat
leaders denying to the media that Biden was mentally ill.
And he posted the video on Monday showing and it
starts with Carine John Pierre. You've got Alejandro Majorcis in there.

(40:52):
You've got Nancy Pelosi in there, You've got that that
full Chris Coons in there. You've got Bernie Sanders in there,
You've got Chuck Schumer in there, all of them talking
about how great and wonderful Joe Biden is. And luckily

(41:13):
I was able to find the clip this morning. Joe
Strecker has it. And Joe, let's go ahead. I believe
that's cut number four. Let's play that now. This was
posted on Trump's True Social yesterday.

Speaker 8 (41:24):
Does the president have the stamina physically and mentally do
you think to continue on even after twenty twenty four non.

Speaker 5 (41:31):
You're asking me this question.

Speaker 11 (41:33):
Oh my gosh, he's the president of the United States,
you know.

Speaker 5 (41:37):
I can't even keep up with him.

Speaker 12 (41:39):
The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden
is preparing for it, because he is sharp, intensely probing,
and detail oriented and focused.

Speaker 13 (41:51):
I can testify because I've been working very closely with
this president for the past two years. I've been knowing
it for thirty years, and I'm telling you, this guy's tough.
He's smart, he's on his jill.

Speaker 14 (42:00):
Biden has vision, he has knowledge, he has a strategic thinker.

Speaker 15 (42:05):
The President is focused, he's detail oriented, He's always thinking
about the big picture.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
He is engaging, he is capable.

Speaker 16 (42:14):
He has an incredible record as president.

Speaker 17 (42:16):
And I'm often with him on foreign trips. He's at
the top of his game.

Speaker 18 (42:22):
So he has a vision, he has knowledge, he has judgment,
he has a strategic thinking.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
I met with the President, I don't know five or
six weeks ago, but he seems fine.

Speaker 19 (42:32):
To make have complete confidence in the President. I have
watched him expertly guide meetings of staff and cabinet members.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
I could not have more.

Speaker 9 (42:42):
Confidence than the president.

Speaker 20 (42:44):
I would just tell you that I meet frequently with
the President, and every single time I meet him.

Speaker 9 (42:50):
He is just fine.

Speaker 21 (42:53):
But he is again, knowledgeable, wise, incredibly sharp, incredibly probing,
incredible command of the details.

Speaker 16 (43:03):
He is sharp, He is on top of things. There
is nothing to these challenges, these suggestions that somehow he's
not sharp and he's not capable.

Speaker 17 (43:11):
We see Joe Biden of Plus.

Speaker 14 (43:13):
We know how attuned he oughts to the issue.

Speaker 22 (43:16):
And you're going to see how smart he is and.

Speaker 18 (43:19):
The experience he has.

Speaker 17 (43:20):
I say, his age is an asset.

Speaker 9 (43:22):
Wow, he's wise.

Speaker 17 (43:24):
Yes, he's wise, he has wisdom, he has experiences, and.

Speaker 23 (43:28):
His experience because of his age and his wisdom, has
been invaluable to this country.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
A lot of.

Speaker 8 (43:35):
Countries, people who've been in office a longer period of
time are praised for their wisdom.

Speaker 24 (43:40):
I have seen a lot of seventy two yelds not
as capable as this eighty year old.

Speaker 22 (43:47):
It is hard for us to keep up with this president.

Speaker 25 (43:50):
His mental acuity is great, it's fine. It's as good
as it's been over the years I've been he's fine.
All this right wing propaganda that he is mental acuity
has declined as wrong.

Speaker 13 (44:00):
And this kind of sense that he's not ready for
this job is just a bucket of bs that's so
deep your boots will get stuck at.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah, it's just a bunch of right wing propaganda. You know,
we could see what was going on. Our eyes don't
deceive us, Our ears don't deceive us. We see video
after video, appearance after appearance, stumbling, mumbling, fumbling, bumbling, all

(44:29):
that time and time and time again. Yeah, you heard him,
all of them. This is the steady diet that we
were fed over the last four years from karing John Pierre.
I can't keep up with them.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Look at me. I'm a spry I don't know what
is she?

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Mid thirties. I'm a spry, mid thirties lesbian. I can't
keep up with him. He's running circles around, really, And
so the New York Post starts with this video and
they go on to talk about every last person in

(45:13):
that video deserves scorn, But so do the journalists who
not only let these fanatical FIBs go unchallenged, but even.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Parroted the lies and it started off with Caryn John Pierre.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
They're doing an interview with Don Lemon, who you used
to be with CNN, and he's one of those so
called journalists that was more than happy to parrot these lies.
So we'll get into this editorial from the New York Post,
but we got to get to a quick break here,
so we will go ahead and do that. But I mean,
it's and they're absolutely right. These people deserve all the

(45:53):
scorn that we can possibly heap upon them. Six fifteen

Speaker 1 (47:18):
It feels like a Monday after the New Year's holiday,
but it is a Thursday, and it's the second day
of January.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
I'm taking a look at this New York Post piece
and the editorial board talking about journalists who just rode
the Biden train, lying to us the entire way. And
we just played the clip from Donald Trump that his
people put out on his True Social earlier this week,

(47:53):
and it is just a clip after clip of Carrin,
John Pierre, Alejandro Mayorkis, various Democrat senators. Joe Biden is great,
and they and they're going after the journalists who just
parroted these claims and passed them on as as as fact,

(48:15):
and anyone who daresaid otherwise was a right wing conspiracy theorist.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
They write.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
The entire idea that Biden was anything but healthy, virile
even was treated as right wing tinfoil hat talking points.
The public wasn't buying it. Back in February, eighty six
percent of Americans thought Biden was too old to serve
a second term because they had watched his decline happen
in real time and over the course of several years.

(48:46):
Back in twenty twenty two, seventy five percent of Democrat
voters wanted someone other than Biden to run in twenty
twenty four. Somehow that was all forgotten about when Biden
said that he was going to run again for a
second term, and he was going to Oh, he's the
only one that can beat Trump. Ah, he's remember when

(49:07):
he said that. And I've had so many people make
the same observation that I've made on this is that
Jill Biden is the one who was really driving that train.
I think Jill Biden is the one, more than anyone else,
who did not want to surrender that lifestyle. I think
she likes being the first lady. I think she likes

(49:29):
all the accouterma that comes with it. After all these
years being in proximity to power, to finally have that
at your disposal is a powerful, powerful thing, and she
in no way wanted to give that up. You know,
chiseling millions from China and Russia and Ukraine and all

(49:54):
these other things, and you know, doing all that, that's
I guess there's a certain kind of thrill to all that.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
But even that can't match up to the power of
the presidency in the White House. But I digress. Let
me see.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
The Biden's fine charade continued even after Spencer Special counsel
Robert Hurr said a jury would see Biden as an
elderly man with a poor memory, and Biden himself began
repeatedly calling world leaders by names.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Of their dead predecessors and who remembers.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
When that Robert Hurr report came out and it talked
about the the severely diminished state that Biden was in,
and it was evident during the during the depositions going on,
then if that would have been any other president, if
that would have been Donald Trump, that would have been
a major, major news story that would not have gone away.

(50:53):
But yet the the you know, the left wing media
in this country just looks at that and says it
just shrugged their shoulders at it, no big deal. The
White House smeared all video proof of Biden's decline as
cheap fakes and edited transcripts to erase signs of his
constant memory issues. And I remember when these things were

(51:13):
happening in real time, I was bringing them up with
different guests I would have on seem to me, that's
kind of a big deal. When the White House goes
in and edits official transcripts of what the president said.
These are historical documents of the words that the President
said in meetings, during speeches, any other event. Anytime the

(51:37):
President speaks, those words are recorded, and those words are
now forever changed because of what the White House and
the staff did there to do, what to cover up
for what we all obviously saw and heard. Let's see,
at every turn, spineless in the tank, journalists obediently did

(51:59):
team by propagandist dirty work right up until the debate
when Biden's sinility became too unmistakable to continue denying. Now
they're acting bashful, but it's far too late to salvage
their shredded credibility. XMSNBC host Mehdi Hassan says he was

(52:19):
embarrassingly wrong to say Republicans will regret helping spread the
distorted image of Biden as a guy who was totally
out of it. Leading up to the debate, progressive journalist
Matt Iglesis said he thought Biden was going to prove
his doubters wrong. Is it better or worse if they
actually believed it? Democrat friendly journalists saw the same evidence

(52:42):
as the rest of us that Biden was compromised, and
instead of being skeptical asking questions putting the White House's
feet to the fire doing their jobs, they joined the
crusade to gaslight America. Secretary of Caroline Levitt says she
intends to change to change up who gets preferred access

(53:06):
to the White House briefings, allowing for non traditional voices
like podcasters. Since legacy media completely unwilfully failed to cover
one of the biggest stories of the decade that the
President of the United States was unfit for office from
day one and his entire staff was hiding it. That

(53:26):
seems like a fair shake. No one who perpetrated, concealed,
or ignored this growth test scandal should ever live it down.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
And the New York Post is right on the money
with all of that.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Six twenty six, A little late for a break, Dan

said journalism is dead. In two thousand and seven and eight,
all these conglomerates, all these big newspapers, New York Times,
Washington Post, you name them, all of them, ABC, NBCCBS,
all of them, you know, all these fake news you

(54:17):
know channels together combined, they threw everything they had had
this man to destroy him. And Donald Trump has defied
every one of those critics. And he's he's still stun
only standing, he's standing triumphantly. I mean, it really is
an incredible thing.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Fifty five KRCD Talk station six point thirty on this
Thursday morning, Damn Carol for Brian Thomas, glad to be here.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Came in this morning and.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Among some of the reports that Joe Strucker put in
front of me is this one from NBC News. A
well known South African game hunter dies after elephant falls
on him. A well known South African game hunter died
after an elephant, ravaged by gunshots collapsed on him at

(56:28):
a Zimbabwe animal reserve. While on a ten day hunting
expedition with several clients, fifty one year old big game
hunter Atheneus Bota unknowingly came across the herd of breeding
elephants near the Hawaang National Park. A spokesman so told
the Associated Press the group spooped the herd and three

(56:51):
elephant cows immediately charged at them, prompting both open fire
on the animals. Now, if this guy is such an
expert and has spent so much time in this area,
how do they unknowingly come across the herd of elephants
that is breeding. A fourth cow stormed at the group

(57:15):
from the side, lifting Botha up with his trunk. One
of the members of the group fired shots at the elephants,
causing at the elephant, causing the animal to collapse on
both the crushing him to death. Both and his wife
Carique ran me Botha's big safari since nineteen eighty three.

(57:37):
With private hunting ranches in South Africa. Mozambique and Zimbabwe
both attatted his perfection of traditional European style driven hunts
in South Africa, which used hounds to round up big
game four hunter clients.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
I gotta say, I don't have a problem with this.
I I am not anti hunting.

Speaker 27 (58:03):
I am.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
This story reminds me of a video that I saw
several years ago. And Joe, I don't know if you
saw this video, but there was a couple that was
out there, I suppose in Africa, and they were on
a hunting trip and they had taken down a male
lion looked like a you know, a really mature male lion,
and so they're setting up their camera and you can

(58:28):
and there and there you can see their video and
they're setting up their camera to get a selfie with
themselves and the and the lion that they had taken down.
And so they're they're, you know, they're scrambling around, moving around,
getting this picture all set up, and all of a sudden,
they look off to their side and they're questioning what

(58:50):
is that? Was there something over there? And from the
side of the frame you see a lion come charging
in and jump on these two hunters, and I believe
that lion killed both of them. I think the I
think the story was is that it may have been

(59:11):
the brother of the lion that they killed, or the
lion that took them out was a relative of the
lion that they killed. But big game hunting like this,
going out and shooting elephants, going out and shooting lions,
these magnificent animals and that roam the planes of Africa.

(59:33):
Never been a fan of that. Don't understand it. I
don't think do people kill lions and elephants to survive?

Speaker 3 (59:43):
Do they do?

Speaker 2 (59:45):
They they need to eat those things for survival.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
I don't equate that with people who go out and
hunting big game, uh you know, elk and and these
other animals out in the the great western Great Northwest
of the United States. I just don't equate that it's
the same thing. Maybe maybe I'm missing the boat there,

(01:00:10):
but it, you know, just this going out for the
sake of the hunt and the sake of taking down
one of these magnificent creatures just something that never appealed
to me. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way.
Maybe there's some benefit that I don't see from it.
But I just it just kind of it's the whole,
that whole notion of doing that just sort of rubs

(01:00:32):
me the wrong way and my way of my way
of thinking going out, you know, hunting deer or rabbits
or squirrel here in Ohio or Kentucky or Indiana, pheasant
hunting things like that. You know, the majority of those
hunters use those animals and take the meat from them

(01:00:54):
and feed people and all the rest of that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
That that, to me, is is different than.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Going out and taking down a lion or some magnificent
creature on the plains of Africa. So this guy, I
guess maybe it's fitting that all the elephants he's killed,
that's how he met his end. And I don't have
a problem with that at all. Six thirty six Dan
Carroll for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC The Talks Days

(01:01:22):
is fifty five KRC the Talks Station, six thirty nine.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
On a Thursday. That feels like a Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Happy New Year to you, even though the New Year
didn't really get off to a great start. I haven't
heard of any any other terrorist activity taking place today,
so we'll see what happens there. Three years, the three
years we've been in these studios, and the monitors in
this in this room still don't shown anything on television.

(01:02:01):
I don't even know why they're in here. We got
these big, giant, what are these show about? Fifty five
INCHHU TV screens in here something like that, and you
can't you can't see anything on it, not hooked up
to any cable or anything.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
It blows my mind. It's a you know what I'm doing,
what I'm doing radio shows.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
I like to have the TV on it. If there's
some breaking news I like. But Jo's Joe's monitoring things
in there. If there's any breaking news, yeah, he will
tell me about it. Here's something that's going to happen
that's going to be thoroughly disgusting. Joe Biden is going
to bestow the second highest civilian medal, the second highest

(01:02:42):
civilian honor, onto Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson, the lawmakers
who led the congressional investigation into the January sixth Capitol
riot by Donald Trump supporters and who Trump said or
who Trump has said, should be jailed. Biden will award

(01:03:04):
the Presidential Citizens Medal to twenty people in a ceremony
today at the White House, including Americans who fought for
marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers. Two of
the president's longtime friends for said, former Senator Ted Kaufman
and Chris Dodd of both the Connecticut or I'm sorry,

(01:03:26):
Kaufin's from Delaware, DoD is from Connecticut. Biden said he
believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and
committed to serving others. The White House said in a statement,
the country's better because of their dedication and sacrifice. Really,
do you believe that Liz Cheney is displayed common decency

(01:03:53):
and is committed to serving others the way she ran
that committee? And now that we know the true about
and look and we knew the truth about that committee
from day one. Biden last year honored people who were
involved in defending the capital from rioters or who helped
safeguard the will of American voters during the I mean

(01:04:16):
this is a piece. This piece was written by MSNBC,
so you know why it's written in such a way.
Biden last year honored people involved in defending the Capitol
who helped safeguard the will of American voters during the
twenty twenty presidential election, Trump tried and failed to overturn

(01:04:36):
the results. Cheney, who was a Republican representative from Wyoming,
and Thompson, a Missouri or Mississippi Democrat, led the House.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Committee that probed the insurrection.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Cheney later said she would vote for Democrat President Kamala
Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
We know how that worked out.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Let's see, Trump, who won the twenty twenty four election
and will take office January twenty, still refuses to back
away from his lies about the twenty twenty presidential race.
So this is a thoroughly disgusting display that is going

(01:05:22):
to take place at the White House today. And do
you think Liz Cheney deserves a medal for what she
did for the And they love to look at Cheney
and Kinziger, who were on that committee and talk about,
oh my god, that was a bipartisan committee. That committee, Well,

(01:05:46):
do you mean it's you know, you got Republicans, you've
got Democrats on.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
There, and they really they really did the job. Although
you look.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
At the real reporting and what really happened about January sixth,
and all the information that has come out subsequent to
and all the information that was ignored, all the documents
that were destroyed. I was talking to Dave Hatter about
that a week or so ago, a terror byte of
information down the wormhole, down the drain, thanks to Liz Cheney,

(01:06:26):
And I said, how much effort does it take to
get rid of a terror byte of information? He said
he it takes some effort that doesn't happen by automatically
or incidentally hitting delete when you're on your keyboard. You
want to talk about a bipartisan committee, look at the
one that did the work on the weaponization of Congress.

(01:06:51):
You've got Jim Jordan was a chairman of that. The
ranking member on the Democrat side was none other than
Stacey Plaskett, and if you've seen her in operation, she
is a hardcore leftist. And then you've got other members
of that committee on the Republican side, Thomas Massey, elisaphonic.

(01:07:14):
You've got Dan Bishop, who was awesome, Warren Davidson was
on that committee, Harriet Hagman who's terrific. On the Democrats side,
you've got people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz. You don't get
any more hardcore leftist than that. You've got people like
Dan Goldman, who was an absolute clown and a fool.

(01:07:38):
It is chilling for the Biden administration. And you've got
Jasmine Crockett who was so out of the mainstream, so
far left wing, that she couldn't even win re election.
So that's what a true bipartisan committee looks like, not
this sham of a committee that was the January Sex

(01:07:59):
committe And then they're going to be honored today.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
By this guy in the White House. I mean, it
makes an.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Absolute mockery and just cheapens what these things are really
supposed to be about. And Joe Biden's going to do
this on behalf of the American people, you, me, and
everyone else, and it's absolutely disgraceful. Yeah, I'm late for
a break here, so let's go ahead and do that now.
Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five KRCV.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
He talks about.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Six fifty on this Thursday morning. So they'll be this
ceremony at the White.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
House today and.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Thankfully there will be some other news events that may
overshadow this ceremony that's going to happen to the White
House today. And Joe Biden's giving these medals out, you know,
he loves to do that kind of stuff. Maybe do
a little fondling while, you know, while this is going on,
and all the White House staff is going to be
there and they'll be a plotting and and well, you know,

(01:09:05):
we'll we'll see the great coverage from MSNBC and CNN
and all these one now and then we get to
relive all the horrible things that Donald Trump did on
January six Well, you know what, there are other reports
that are out on January sixth talking about and we
know for a fact that Donald Trump called for more

(01:09:27):
security on that day in the form of National Guard troops.
We know that these orders are not orders, but these
recommendations were ignored by people that were working for him.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
And I found it interesting the other day that the
mayor of d C.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
I talked about how she had a meeting with Donald Trump,
strolling through my list here to see if I know
I had that headlin in here. Mure Bowser had that
meeting with Donald Trump, and she's, oh, yeah, we had
a great meeting. So even after all the thing, and
she was one who was supposed to sign off on

(01:10:12):
additional security measures at the Capitol that day and said no.
And you know, they didn't like the optics of it
was the excuse that they had. So all those lies
again about January sixth, are going to be relief relived today.
What else is going on? I was talking about the

(01:10:33):
Judiciary Committee and their Weaponization Report, or the report about
the weaponization of the government, and it is seventeen thousand
pages long. Just a little light reading. Joe, you've read
the whole thing, haven't you? Just seventeen thousand pages? I

(01:10:54):
don't think he has. But that's a lot of reading.
But if you go to there's a there's a part
on their website where they've got and it really it
is a series of separate reports all combined into one,
and it goes down the list and I'll just read

(01:11:16):
some of the headlines here the Biden Border crisis. New
data and testimony show how the Biden administration opened the
Southwest border and abandoned interior immigration enforcement fighting, the weaponization
of the Internal Revenue Service, end of abuse of unannounced
field visits, the weaponization of disinformation, pseudo experts and bureaucrats,

(01:11:39):
How the federal government partnered with universities to censor americans
free speech, the FBI's breach of religious freedom, the weaponization
of law enforcement against Catholic Americans, and so all these
and I'm going to talk to I sent this list
to Kurt Hartman, and each and every one of these

(01:12:02):
is an absolute scandal. Let's see. Let's see, here's one
that I haven't looked at. New information and testimony from
the Biden administration officials revealed disregard for a potential gang
affiliation of UACs. Let's see, Incentivized by the Biden administration's

(01:12:26):
open border policies, increasing numbers of unaccompanied alien children have
traveled to the Southwest border. Since twenty twenty one, Customs
and Border Protection has encountered more than eight million illegal
aliens along the Southwest border, more than a half million
of whom have been UAC's unaccompanied alien children. Under the

(01:12:48):
Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of two thousand and eight,
UACs from non contiguous countries who are encountered along the
border are referred to are referred by Customs and Border
Patrol to the Office of Refugee Resettlement or to the
Department of Health and Human Services. So this goes on
to talk about, you know, all these individuals, and here

(01:13:14):
are some of their findings. HHS did not conduct any
audit of the case files for these the UAC who
murdered Kayla Hamilton, despite having released Kayla's Murder and Alien
with gang tattoos and a history of illicit association with
MS thirteen to a sponsor, HSS told the committee that

(01:13:35):
it does not have a policy to refer known or
suspected gang members to the Department of Justice.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
So this is just.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Examining one of the many, many, many flaws that infect
our immigration system. And Karine John Pierre has the the
hutspled to stand up there and talk about how our
immigration system was broken before Joe.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Biden got in the office. Really, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
So we gotta get to a break and then we'll
talk with Dan Hills on the other side of this
and get his take on what happened in New Orleans
and so much more. As we roll on, Dan Carroll
in for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC, The talk station.

Actually does this song on karaoke one Hold On, and
we had some fun with it.

Speaker 9 (01:15:01):
But caps.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
This is now officially known as the walk up music
for the one time f op's president and our friend
here at fifty five k r C and Dan Hills,
how was that walk up music for you?

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
Happy New Year, buddy? How you've been.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
I'm doing well. I'm doing well. I have not heard
that in decades. You crack yeah, well, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Joe Strucker tells me that's your walk up music. So
that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
Joe, Joe gets to make such decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
What can we say, Well, if Joe Strucker says it,
then it's gospel. It cannot be it cannot be changed
or amended in any way. But it's great to have
you on, Dan. I mean, you've got so many irons
in the fire. Tell us what what Dan Hills is
up to these days?

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
Well, I do work for a a small department and
what we call an auxiliary position. I don't like bringing
my politics that small department. I don't take the chief wood,
so I'll leave the name of the department off. And
then my wife and I run a small security thing
for a school that has several campuses. I don't want

(01:16:21):
to bring my politics into that work there on leave, that'side.
But the one that I'll talk up only about is
frontline Advisors, and that's where I work alongside some attorneys,
and we represent police and corrections union unions. We have
as our main contracts Middletown Fairfield Fops as two fops,
and then we have Butler County Corrections and hand to

(01:16:44):
County Corrections, and we're always we're always looking for more game.
We're always looking for more.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
I always got there. There's always more out there. But
you know, when when incidents like what happened yesterday happened,
you're one of the first people that I reach out
to in situations like this, and I couldn't help think.
You know, here in Cincinnati that when we know we're
going to have thousands of people out on the street
late at night there and there's a you know, there's

(01:17:09):
a situation going to whether it's a whether it's opening day,
whether it's october Fest, Tasta Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
You name the event.

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
It seems to me that we do a good job
around here of making sure that there's not going to
be any vehicles that can get on to those streets
where these events are taking place. It seems to me
like that is a very basic concept when it comes
to securing an area like this, and the fact that
that was overlooked or somehow there were lapses and that

(01:17:40):
sort of security down in New Orleans, it just it
just doesn't sit right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
It doesn't feel right to me.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
What say you, Yeah, I thought i'd be repeating something
that's Raybin said today, But you know, the everybody on
social media keeps quote the same port over and over
again that you shouldn't be able to go around or
defeat barriers because they're no longer barriers, right. I think

(01:18:08):
it's probably indictable that they did not that they did
not have these barriers up, or they did not complete
barriers across certain streets left a sidewalk open. I mean,
that's just unimaginable. I think I mentioned to you in text.
You know, I've noticed over the years and even over
the decades, especially since nine to eleven, it appears that

(01:18:31):
New York City has got this down to a science.
They bring sand filled trucks, municipal trucks, maybe the same
ones that they use for snow emergencies or whatever, but
they put so much weight to them that nothing like
this could have ever got by New York. Now, as
far as Cincinnati goes, I have to I have to

(01:18:51):
bag out a little bit because I never was a
sign downtown and I've never worked a lot of details.
This isn't my sumption. Maybe one of my cards might
call in and disagree, But I think one of the
reasons they moved a lot of stuff from the streets
of downtown all the way down to the parks and
by the riverside is because it was easier to secure.

(01:19:14):
Not only did you not have to stop traffic flow
and all that stuff. I think things like this are
a lot more difficult to ever been able to pull
off down at those down at those parks. I don't
think you can easily get in a vehicle into those
places because we've kind of gone away from the closing
down the streets for things like tastes and stuff, and

(01:19:34):
we've moved all that stuff down to Sawyer Point and
the big parks down there, So I think we're better
off in Cincinnati. It's, like I just admitted, not my
area of expertise. I do think that if you want
to see who really does it well and how it's
avoided any disasters in a long long time, it's New

(01:19:55):
York City. And I think that had are gone a
role and should role for whatever happened here in New
Orleans that allowed a truck to go into an area
that was just wall to wall people. And I've only
been to New Orleans one time when for FOP convention,
and I don't think it was overly busy when I

(01:20:15):
was there, but I've seen the footage many many times
in the Marti Gras and stuff like New Orleans. When
you're talking about wall to wall people, you cannot he
cannot physically allow a vehicle to be able to get
around barricades, barriers and all this other stuff because it
just leads to what this was, which was a killing field.

(01:20:36):
This was this this this was you know, just an
unspeakable carnage. And you know, I've seen some of the
videos and didn't followed it real closely on social media.
Uh you know, obviously then the Number one goes to
the the evil the Eagle. You know, I can't say

(01:20:57):
stuff on the radio that I'd like to about this
this guy, but right behind him and any associates he
might have had, my anger goes towards just the incompetence
of whatever their plan or lack thereof, for keeping vehicles
out of urban street.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
Yes, well, let's say it's well, let's say that Cincinnati
was going to have a big event that that was
going to draw national attention, much like what was going
on in New Orleans. They had the college football game
National Center Quarterfinal with Notre Dame University and the University
of Georgia happening at the Supernome. So that that is

(01:21:39):
an event and we should I was just reading a
story earlier today about how a year ago the Rand
Corporation put out a report pointing out the vulnerabilities we
have in these exact areas and pointing out this exact
sort of attack that can happen. And it seems to
me that when you have a national something that is

(01:22:00):
worthy of a national event, a big event is going
to be on national television. The eyes of the country
are going to be upon New Orleans for a period
of time that is a prime target right there, and
so there is It seems to me there's naturally coordination
with Homeland Security with you know, you name the federal agency, uh,

(01:22:22):
the FBI, to see whatever whatever the agency it is
that and I imagine that happens here. It happens in
any major city where there is a national event that
requires additional security and it and I hate, I hate
to criticize police, the men and women on the street
who are doing the job, but you can, and it's

(01:22:45):
not taking long here.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
You can. We can go right up the ladder and we.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
See leadership failure after leadership failure, and the innocent people
on the street are the ones who wind up paying
the price for it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
Yeah. No, I have no problem at all saying that
there there's some people there that obviously need to be
looked at hard, starting with the police chief there and
and then her command staff, the ones that were in
charge of that district. Uh they have a special events

(01:23:20):
section like we do in Cincinnati. Those are all people
that I would hope had been the training, had you know,
the years of experience, they know that this This is
not the first time that I think vehicles have probably
caused damage to persons in New Orleans. I would say
it's probably happened before with a drunk or something like

(01:23:43):
that that you heard the chief right away, she said, well,
this isn't you know a case with the DUI. I
think we had something some decades ago in Cincinnati where
a drunk went through some some barricades, you know, ones
that were meant to tell people the stuff up, but
not physically strong enough to stop vehicles. So we've had

(01:24:06):
that here in Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (01:24:09):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:24:10):
You know, some of the places I currently work have, uh,
these these concrete bears and baffles because you know, they
they they know that their community might be one that
is marked for for terrorist attacks. And so there's a
lot of places that have built these these type of

(01:24:30):
barriers that physically prevent even you know, a good sized
pickup truck or god Forbids and Mike gets a hold
of something like a dump truck or whatever from from
from going up and making contact to a building. So
they're protecting a building. But when you're protecting a street
that normally is open to traffic, you know you've got
to get a vented and go right back to New York.

(01:24:52):
I heard them saying when they're talking about the ball
dropping on on on New Year's Eve, that they they
they block the streets and I'm imagine they're probably, uh,
you know, just a couple of feet apart from one another,
so uh, walking traffic can get through. But they put
these these great, big municipal trucks stilled with sand. So

(01:25:12):
that evil There I go again, trying to think of
words I can say, but I can't on the radio
that that that evil thug could not have gotten his
pickup truck down to run people over if he would
have tried to do the same thing in New York City.
I don't believe he could have done it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:31):
Up pick up trug with the ISIS flag on the back,
Absolutely amazing. How yeah, close to that area, Dan Hill,
stay right there. We got to get to a quick
break and we'll continue with you on the other side.
Fifty five KRC the Talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
Have you taken your family to fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
Five KRC the Talk Station. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
continuing our conversation with Dan Hills, one time president of
the FOP Cincinnati Police and Dan, I guess it's good
that nor Orland turned the investigation over to the FBI
since the police chief herself back in August actually hit

(01:26:07):
a couple of pedestrians when she was when she was
driving through the French Quarter. So maybe not the best
person to investigate an incident like this.

Speaker 9 (01:26:17):
And another of them.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
I shouldn't None of this should be something to laugh about.
But that is one thing that does does make you chuckle,
that they're that there. Police chief is also known for
running folks over. Just back to why I'm saying, you know,
let's not forget about the uh walka shaw is that
how it's pronounced.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
That was a couple of a couple of Christmases ago, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
Yees, six six people uh killed there? And then you
know what, I didn't know until I just ran. And
you're gonna find this hard to believe, Dan, I'm reading
an MSNBC article.

Speaker 2 (01:26:55):
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
I don't think I ever go to s NBC for
my news. But they came right up when I when
I just ran at the break passed attacks such as
these right And did you know in China in November
that a driver rammed his car into a crowd at
a sports center. I am not going to try to

(01:27:17):
pronounce the Chinese City, but they killed thirty five people
and severely injured forty three. The Deadly's attacks one of
the deadly's attacks in contemporary China. It recently happened in London, Ontario.
And so this is something you're asking about Cincinnati's readiness

(01:27:39):
for it, and I don't have the complete answer for you.
I think we're a lot better than we used to be.
I think not not to be a dead horse, but
I think New York's probably the best. And they, you know,
terrible things happen, and all of a sudden, you learn
to get real good. And obviously nine to eleven caught
in New York City that they have to they have

(01:28:01):
to prevent these these type of attacks the best they can,
and knowing that vehicles is a very very common weapon,
they've made themselves ready. And then go back to Cincinnati
and all the other cities across this country. You know,
with your was your president Joe Biden, letting all these

(01:28:21):
people in across the border. I think everybody who is
in charge of events, whether it's in Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis,
or wherever, needs to be very conscious of this. And
and I hope we never ever see again that a
police chief gets on the microphone and says, also, I
just defeated our barriers. You know you can't. You can't

(01:28:44):
have barriers that are defeated or they're not barriers anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:28:48):
Well, the mayor said that they've got these ballards that
they use, and somehow these ballards were not functioning properly.
So you know, they'll be ready in time for the
super Bowl. They just weren't ready in time for New
Year's Eve. And I'm thinking of my you know, these
are posts that go into the ground. There's not a
lot of moving parts there. I don't know how they
can not be operable. I think someone needs to look

(01:29:09):
into that flimsy excuse for not having the proper barriers
in place. But I mean, how many wake up calls
do we need in this country. I was talking earlier
about a report that came out a year ago from
the Rand Corporation, and they describe soft targets like this,
and they describe, you know that it's one thing to

(01:29:30):
be trying to prevent people from flying jetliners into places
like the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but the
low level stuff like someone who wants to drive a
vehicle into a crowd of people. Those are the kind
of things that we really need to be on our
toes for. So a year ago, you know, these warnings
went out to Department of Homeland Security police departments across

(01:29:51):
the country, and this should be yet another wake up
call that we really need to the people who get paid,
the people who spend their time concentrating on these sorts
of things that this is. You know, this is not
a wasted exercise that that you know, there are again,
there are real life consequences for when even there's even

(01:30:14):
the tiniest laps in security like this.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
Yeah, it's you just said it, you know, wake up call.
We're gonna have to stop using that term because if
people aren't aware of this, yeah, all you got to
do is run it on your Google search. And even
even our friends that were at MSNBC are are are
writing articles that said that says, this happens all the time.

(01:30:39):
So we can't we can't play dumb anymore. We can't,
you know, shrug our shoulders. I think what they're talking
about in the really instantius say you're clear, is they
actually have these doors that can come up, great big
metal doors that can come up and block streets and
for some reason those were not triggered apparently and uh

(01:31:00):
some parts of around Bourbon Street and back to possibly indictable.
We got to find out who who did not have
those doors up and if if they're not functioning for
this reason or that reason, then you got to block
it with vehicles that that are you know, unable to
be rammed or pushed out of the way by something

(01:31:23):
as common as the pitch up truck. So they failed miserably,
and you know, the list goes on and on. As
I'm reading. You know, in twenty eighteen in Toronto, eleven
people killed. But back in New York a bike path
was a nice a nice Becky, a man who I

(01:31:45):
think was supportive of the religion of Love and peace,
killed eight people and injured eleven. Barcelona, Spain, thirteen people
were a kill. So these these attacks are very, very common,
and so we have to whenever we have a crowd.

(01:32:05):
I think police departments across this country are going to
have to find something better than just you know, putting
up some cones.

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
You know, cones, Yeah, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Stop somebody helping it on on on mass murder, so
there will be no excuses anymore. And I think that
it's it's it's oh, it's up to somebody, a public
person like you, to keep putting us out that way,
nobody can say they didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Well, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna do it at every opportunity, Dan,
Can you hang around for one more segment. We got
to get to a quick break here. The crime numbers
came out for twenty twenty four in Cincinnati. I want
to run those by you real quick. Yees, sure, okay,
Dan Hill's He'll hang around for one more segment and
we'll continue on fifty five KRC, the talk station What's
up every seven thirty on this Thursday morning, as we

(01:33:10):
talk with Dan Hills, and I'm told west Side Jim
suggested this for your new Walcoup music.

Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
Dan, what do you think you're bringing all the heavy hitters.
I'm telling you, man that Joe Strecker, now, Jim Jim Keeper.
I mean, I can't debate with any of these folks.
They are they're just too uh, they're they're too important
for me to see debate at. Also, people whatever Joe
and Jim decide.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
People love you in this town, man.

Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
They want you to have. They want you, They want
to know when you're going to be around, But then
I always appreciate you being here. The numbers have come
out for twenty twenty four. When you look at crime
numbers in Cincinnati overall, they say crime is down about
six percent, which I guess you can take away that
as good. But when you look at some of the
some of the individual numbers, twelve percent increase in violent crimes,

(01:34:03):
homicides are flat over the past three years. Seventy two
people killed in Cincinnati in twenty twenty four, which to
me sounds still like a pretty big number. I'd like
to see that number drop off a lot. And things
like aggravated assaults up eleven percent, violent crime, robbery up
fourteen percent from twenty twenty three, rape was down twenty

(01:34:25):
four percent. So a little bit of a mixed bag
in these numbers that came out.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
What do you make of them?

Speaker 3 (01:34:31):
Well, you know, I think that's a lot. There's a
lot of things in numbers that are just kind of
a flu when you're talking about a city the size
of the sass that it's a bunch of times you
get when the administration starts, city administration, police administration, they'll
brag about a drop in shootings or homicides or whatever.
I say, well, let's just wait till the next year,

(01:34:52):
because if you manage to lock up the right handful
of people, then all of a sudden, your statistics will
will drop. I don't know if it's always necessarily a trend.
In general, I think our trends are not real good
as our criminal justice system becomes more and more broken.
You said flat and homicides in seventy two. You know,

(01:35:15):
that's that that has been a consistent number of in Cincinnati,
sixty seventy some homicide a year. And when you're talking
about a city of just a little over three hundred
thousand people, I'm quite certain that probably puts us as
far as murder rate goes, in the top twenty or
so in the United States. So it's not it's not

(01:35:35):
something that we want to go go bragging about.

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
Yeah, and that's what you're going to hang your hat on. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
I mean and again that that number, just say, it
sounds high to me in the to say to say
that it's flat sort of sort of minimizes that number
a little bit. I would like to see that number,
you know, drop off by ten, fifteen, twenty twenty five people.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
Well, consider this thing, you know, when you look at
the numbers, if you really talk about different periods of
time in the city, go back to like the seventies
when there was a half million people in the city
or darn near and the medical care was so much different.
And so if you got stabbed, because I think stabbings

(01:36:16):
were more common than the seventies than shootings were, you
probably got transported to the er by a couple of
policemen in a scale car. Now you've got paramedics units,
you have these incredible trauma centers. They saved so.

Speaker 28 (01:36:31):
Many lives of so many shooting victims that we have that,
you know, God is if we had the same the
same type of medical responses that we had, say in
nineteen seventy five, that we have with with today's violence,
can you.

Speaker 3 (01:36:47):
Imagine how many homicides we'd have. We'd probably have, you know,
north of one hundred and fifty homicides. So there is
way way too much violence in our city. And one
of my favorite things I always bring up is whenever
the left it's about gun control, which makes me want
to pull my by al Bryle's out is that they won't.
They want gun laws, more gun laws, hold that we

(01:37:08):
don't enforce the one of the best gun laws we have,
which is weapons under disability. So, Dan Carroll, if you
get yourself convicted of a felony, you're no longer allowed
to possess a firearm. And we have it every day.
I would say, in Cincinnati, multiple arrest of people with
weapons under disability, and what do the local judges and

(01:37:28):
courts and corrections do to them here in Cincinnati in
the general term, the answer is nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
Yeah, just slap on the slap on the wrist, or
back out on the street.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
I think a lot of people would be surprised by
the number of criminals in this in this area who
have already been in the system, through the system, been
convicted of this, been convicted that's spent a little time
behind bars that, and it really is a relatively small

(01:37:57):
number of people that commit the majority of crimes around here.

Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
Now, Yeah, I don't do well putting together statistics, but
I'd love to see the statistics. We have great homicide
investigators here in the city since then, and we still
close the majority of our house sides. How many of
those folks that have been convicted of homicide had previously
been convicted under my favorite crime that I like to
talk about, weapons under disabilities. Yeah, and I was at

(01:38:24):
a very high percentage. And what happened to him when
they got convicted about probably.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
Next to nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:38:29):
And so we keep letting these folks in and out
the revolving door, and then we sit there and act
surprise one. We see that there's seventy two homicides and
god knows how many shootings in our you know, relatively
medium sized city.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
All right, well, Dan Hill's with that. We will let
you go, sir as.

Speaker 1 (01:38:45):
Always appreciate the time and keep up the great work,
and we will talk again, hopefully not before too long.
But and I mean the the you know, these things,
these incidents like what happened in New Orleans. I mean,
these things have to stop. And it just to my
way of thinking that you've got to take the action
on the front end so we don't wind up with

(01:39:07):
the results like this on the back end.

Speaker 3 (01:39:09):
I agree one hundred percent. Dan, look forward to the
next time we talk.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
All right, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:39:13):
Dan Hill's former president of the FOP and always great
to have him on. Appreciate the time as always. Seven
thirty six Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five krc
DE Talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
His Ryan Thomas here for four.

Speaker 1 (01:39:39):
Fifty five krc DE Talks Station, seven forty Dan Carroll
for Brian Thomas five one, three, seven.

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
Four, nine, fifty five hundred. If you want to get
on board, baby.

Speaker 1 (01:39:54):
We were talking earlier about the Biden administration and the
things that are going to thwart the Trumpet Minute stration
as they come in.

Speaker 2 (01:40:01):
Here's another one of them.

Speaker 1 (01:40:02):
The Biden administration frantically trying to dole out as many
billions of dollars as possible to fund so called green
initiatives and do so in a way that incoming President
Donald Trump cannot reverse. So the national media is going
to talk when it's time for Biden to go, We're
going to talk about what a great statesman, what a

(01:40:25):
you know, peaceful transfer of power, this is how it's done.
We're gonna have to relive all the January sixth stuff.
You know that Biden's gonna give Liz Cheney a metal
today for carrying his water on the January sixth Committee
and all the rest of it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:45):
But when you look at what this administration is doing.

Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
And a judge just told this administration last week that
they had to stop selling parts of what Joe, you
saw that, dan'ea the sale that they were taking the
parts of the World Wall that have been rusting out
there in the desert for the last four years. Yeah,
pennies on the dollar and ridiculously low prices. A judge

(01:41:09):
told him they had to stop doing that. Apparently we
need more judges who tell who should tell them to
stop doing stuff that's going to make Trump's life a
living hell when he gets in office, at least that's
what they're trying to do.

Speaker 2 (01:41:24):
So I mean, is that very statesman like to allow
your and.

Speaker 1 (01:41:29):
I keep talking about I talk about this guy as
if he's responsible for what is happening under his administration,
and it's in a technical sense he is responsible for it,
But in a practical sense, we know that he is
probably for the most part, absolutely clueless as to what

(01:41:51):
the people around him are up to and what they
are doing. On Tuesday, the Department of Energy announced that
it will provide a record fifteen billion dollars low interest
loan commitment to California utility company PG and E through
its energy infrastructure Reinvestment Project created by Biden's dubiously titled

(01:42:15):
Inflation Reduction Act. EIR supports roads and that retool, repower,
repurpose to replace energy infrastructure, and that enable operating energy
infrastructure to avoid, reduce, utilize, sequester air pollutants or greenhouse gases.
The loan will support hundreds of projects aimed at fighting

(01:42:35):
the effect of climate change and improving the electrical grid.

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
The Wall Street General reports the Biden.

Speaker 1 (01:42:42):
Administration has already made more than forty two point four
billion dollars in loan commitments and is feverishly working to
add to that total.

Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
I mean, that is just beyond sick, and.

Speaker 1 (01:42:57):
They are just trying to shovel money out the door
as fast as possible. I saw a report last week
that lawmakers in the state of California have gone to
Pete Buddha Judge asking boota Judge, the Secretary of Transportation,
and he's got how many untold billions at his disposal

(01:43:19):
thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. But he's got all
this money that he can ladle out, and they're asking
him for hundreds of millions more for the high speed
rail system in California, and they want this done before
what before Trump gets into office, because they know he's

(01:43:40):
going to say no ba but nah, it is time
to shut this kind of stuff down. But this is
the kind of petty, low level bush league stuff that
is going on throughout this administration. A week or so ago,
we learned that they put out the Biden administration did

(01:44:02):
put out feelers for hiring DEI executives in all these
different departments of the federal government. They want to get
all these people in place. When DEI is starting to
go down the crap hole. We've got company after company
that is getting rid of their DEI infrastructure. Universities all

(01:44:23):
across the country are saying no more DEI. They've wasted
untold millions of dollars on these initiatives and they're not
getting any bang for the buck out of it. And
so the whole DEI thing is winding down itself under
its own weight. It is grinding to a halt because

(01:44:45):
it is completely unsustainable, and with the Trump administration, that
is only going to be accelerated. And so they are
doing everything they can to push their agenda and have
it linger as as long as possible in the Trump administration.
I mean it is sick, it is petty, and it

(01:45:06):
is small. And again the national media and maybe I'll
read that piece from the New York Post again that
lied to us from day one about the cognitive abilities
of this president is going to do it again when
it's time for him to step away.

Speaker 2 (01:45:25):
Seven seven forty six.

Speaker 1 (01:45:27):
Now Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRSD talk stations.

You get a ship in the duck gets raining in
the pubs.

Speaker 1 (01:46:52):
Meantime, fifty five KRC DE talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
Dan Carroll in for Ryan Thomas, brought some audio with me.
I want to play it.

Speaker 1 (01:47:03):
One is on CNN, and then one of the things
I do when you know, I watch a lot of
Fox News and but one of the things I do
when I get ready for these shows is I and
I'd probably do this in my even if I wasn't
on on radio, but I flip around to MSNBC and CNN,
and I'll probably watch more than my fair share of

(01:47:25):
c spam because I'm just that that's the way I'm wired.
I CA's I mean, I will watch these procedures in
the Senate and the House, and a lot of times
they're taking votes and you got people standing, and I'll
look around there, you know, there's that static shot of
the floor of the Senate or the floor of the

(01:47:47):
House when they're taking the votes, and I'll and I'll
just look to see if I can identify these senators
and see who's talking to who, and try to read
the body language and figure out what they're talking about.
But one of the things that has been happening on
CNN lately, and CNN their numbers are just abysmal. I mean,
they're getting beat by the Food Channel, they're getting beat

(01:48:07):
by a Nickelodeon, they're getting a CNN. Their numbers are
just in the crapper and MSNBC is not far behind him.
One of the things that CNN has done over the
last oh I'm gonna say it's been about five six months,
maybe maybe not that long, but they've got a guy

(01:48:28):
on Scott Jennings, and I believe he was a member
of Congress or a staffer at one time in Congress,
and he is a conservative voice and I'm just as
smart as a whip. And this is an appearance he made.
He's a contributor to a lot of their different shows,
so he appears on a lot of the different panels

(01:48:49):
that CNN puts on and his analysis has been absolutely
on point, absolutely killer. And this is him laying out
some common sense on CNN when he was asked about
Elon Musk. And just listen to this and I'll give
you my thoughts on this after we roll this cut. Joe,

(01:49:11):
that's cut number three. Let's hear that you have.

Speaker 29 (01:49:13):
Concerns about Elon Musk's business dealings in other countries, including
American adversaries, and the level of influence that has over
his own behavior and his interest.

Speaker 2 (01:49:25):
I have no concerns about Elon Musk.

Speaker 22 (01:49:27):
I have been looking at pictures of Joe Biden and
Hunter Biden meeting with Chinese political leaders lately that we.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
Were told didn't exist.

Speaker 22 (01:49:35):
So for all the people who were really upset about
Elon Musk having a very successful international business that actually
produces things, actually produces vehicles or rockets or whatever they're doing,
the Biden's produced nothing, and yet we're also doing business
in China.

Speaker 4 (01:49:49):
I don't have this.

Speaker 29 (01:49:49):
I don't want you to change the subject, because it's
not really about whether he's successful business person or not.
It's about whether his material interests as a business owner
are in conflict with the United States as nationals.

Speaker 22 (01:50:00):
My view is. My view is his prospects and interest
as a business owner, and most of the things he's
into electric cars, rockets, the Internet that we're using all
over the world. It's good for the United States to
be the warehouse for that. It's good for our national
security to have this kind of technology. I just the

(01:50:21):
idea that there is somehow a conflict in the United
States having this kind of a businessman and that's somehow
bad for us, I just totally rejected.

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
So there's Scott Jennings on CNN, and you get a
really good flavor for the kind of commentary that this
guy in Jacks. And there's so many people at CNN
who have been doing these panels and then hosting these
shows for such a time now that they are totally
unacquainted with the idea that someone is going to counter

(01:50:50):
the narrative that they are putting out there. And I
can play cut after cut, sound by after SoundBite of
Scott Jennings getting into it with another panelist on that show,
and so when she he flat out really, I mean,
the commentary here is brilliant. I mean, the notion that
we should be concerned about Elon Musk and his influence

(01:51:14):
on Donald Trump and whether or not it's going to
conflict with his business interests or he's certainly, you know,
just looking out for what's best for his business and
screwing over the American people. And Scott Jennings throws it
right back in her face and he says, you know,
I'm looking at pictures of Joe Biden meeting with his
son's Chinese business partners. And we have been told again

(01:51:38):
since before this administration started, that these things never happened.
That look, Hunter, Biden is just a businessman, you know,
people doing business overseas. Nothing unusual about that, nothing to
get excited about. You know, when when Don when Donald
Trump does it, well there's something nefarious about something that's
underhanded or shady. But when when Joe Hiden's son does it,

(01:52:01):
it's no problem whatsoever. And then of course the lie
after lie after lie about him not meeting with these people.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
So Scott Jennings and the fact that this makes headlines in.

Speaker 1 (01:52:15):
The circles that I look at and the things that
I look at should tell you an awful lot about
how dishonest and how you know, uh undiverse that CNN
has been for a long, long time, especially when it

(01:52:35):
comes to diversity of thought.

Speaker 2 (01:52:37):
He is seven fifty five.

Speaker 1 (01:52:38):
We got to get to a break news coming up
top of the hour, and then we'll be talking to
Kurt Hartman on the other side of this all kinds
of political things and maybe some terrorist stuff and whatever
else comes to mind during that conversation, so I hope
you can stick around for that.

Speaker 2 (01:52:51):
Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.

Speaker 1 (01:52:53):
Fifty five KRC the Talk Stations your voice than your.

Speaker 10 (01:52:59):
Country, refreshing here it every day.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Fifty five krs the Talk Station. This report is sponsored
by our American.

Speaker 1 (01:53:21):
Fifty five krs C the Talk Station eight o five.
On this Thursday morning, as we rock out the van Hanlon,
thank you Joe's record. Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas,
and Brian Thomas is back on Monday, is that right,
Joe Monday?

Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:53:39):
And then who we got in tomorrow? N Kevin Gordon
will be here tomorrow, so we're looking forward to that.
But right now I am looking forward to talking to
the one time Hamilton County common please court judge and
buddy of the show, and buddy of of me and
all the radio shows that I do, and always great
to have this guy on for his commentary on things

(01:54:02):
and Kurt Hartman, Happy New Year to you, and how
are how are year.

Speaker 5 (01:54:09):
You doing good? Thank you good?

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
Where do you want to start this morning? I mean
twenty twenty five?

Speaker 1 (01:54:15):
I go, I went into this year thinking that we're
going to be able to put twenty twenty four in
the rear view mirror. There was a lot of horrible
stuff that happened there. And then I get up on
New Year's Day and I see some dude on the
subway in New York City pushing a guy in front
of a train. There's, you know, a celebration in New
Orleans where fifteen people wind up dead because this guy,

(01:54:38):
this terrorist, is driving his truck down a street that
somehow the barriers weren't erected that should have been there.
And then we see a let me see, we've got
a Tesla vehicle, the signature vehicle of of Elon Musk,
parked in front of a Trump hotel in Los Angeles

(01:55:01):
that that blows up, kills the driver of that vehicle,
injures other people. Uh, should we be should we be
getting the message here? Should we be getting a little
bit of a wake up call?

Speaker 7 (01:55:10):
I think so.

Speaker 27 (01:55:11):
And it was it was Las Vegas, not Los Agles,
Las Vegas, okay, right, And it was.

Speaker 5 (01:55:16):
A rented they were you know, they were all rented vehicles.

Speaker 27 (01:55:18):
Interesting New Orleans and Las Vegas and that. Yeah, it's just,
you know, I think we're going to see more of
that stuff. I think, you you know, even though I
think the uh guy in New Orleans and New Orleans
was you know, uh a Native American, et cetera. But
with this massive McGray shot, you know, this stuff is
rarely just a powder keg ready to go off because

(01:55:39):
we've had so many people over the past four years,
you know, immigrating into this country or illegally crossing into this.

Speaker 5 (01:55:46):
Country more accurately, uh with with no no no vetting people.
A lot of got aways, I mean millions of gataways
that we have no clue who they are.

Speaker 27 (01:55:57):
Yeah, I think and I think good the Trump administration's
kind in Tom Holman as the incoming you know, borders
are really committed to straightening the uh dasco that was
the Biden administration for the past four years.

Speaker 5 (01:56:11):
So I think it's just we're telling what I think
really needs to happen.

Speaker 27 (01:56:16):
I think hopefully the American those who might have had
doubts might say, hey, there's more serious stuff going on.

Speaker 5 (01:56:22):
That, Yeah, we really need to get control.

Speaker 27 (01:56:25):
Get control of the border, get the rest of the
border wall built, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (01:56:28):
So, uh yeah, disappointing, you know, sad way to.

Speaker 27 (01:56:33):
Start the new years for everybody, but especially for the
people and their families who were impacted by these events.
You know, but I think there's a certain level of
but there's a certain level of optimism I think really
for most people, uh.

Speaker 5 (01:56:48):
With with Trump coming in.

Speaker 27 (01:56:50):
I have said, you know, the benefit that I think
Trump has, uh having having sat out a term, is
he's coming in.

Speaker 5 (01:56:58):
He's bringing a whole new late of people in to
his administration.

Speaker 27 (01:57:04):
You know, if he had simply won re election at
twenty twenty or it would have been more continuation of
the same. I think part of the swamp would have
been there still within the administration undermining him. But the
fact that he was out of office for four years,
he's now know, he's smarter, he knows what he knows
the game, he knows there's those elements that are trying

(01:57:26):
to undermine him, and so he's able to bring his
team in committed to his agenda, to the agenda that
the American people.

Speaker 5 (01:57:34):
Voted for in November.

Speaker 27 (01:57:36):
And so I think that that is the one benefit
we have going in with in a few weeks here
when Trump takes the oath of office.

Speaker 1 (01:57:44):
Yeah, I want to talk a little bit about how
remarkable it is that Trump actually was able to win
with all the all the forces that were arrayed against him.
But just to finish up my thought on what's happening
with the border, I find it interesting this argument that
for so long now this administration, the Obama administration, whenever

(01:58:06):
places like Texas would take steps to try to secure
their border. And I know Obama, the administration there under
a Republican governor in Arizona sued those states, saying that
those states are interfering with the enforcement of federal law
when it comes to trying to take steps on their own.

(01:58:29):
Now we have the specter of Tom Homan, and he's
going to come in and engage in this mass deportation.
And we have so many different individuals across You've got
Pritzker in Illinois, You've got the governor of Washington State
and Oregon saying that they are going to fight tooth

(01:58:49):
and Nail. I think Hochel and New York has said
the same thing, that they're going to do everything they
can to prevent these deportations from from taking place. Doesn't
this sort of fall under the same thing that that
this is the jurisdiction of federal law enforcement and not
state law enforcement. How are they going to going to

(01:59:10):
reconcile those two ideas if this thing really hits the
fan the way it possibly could.

Speaker 5 (01:59:16):
Yeah, I mean I wonder how what what are they
really going to be able to do?

Speaker 27 (01:59:19):
You know, these governors, these Democrats city mayors who are
basically saying, we're going to do whatever we can to
stop Trump. How are they going to be able to
do that and not run foul of federal criminal law themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:59:34):
Yeah, and that they think they almost act like they're
so immune. They're you know, no one can touch us.

Speaker 27 (01:59:41):
Yeah, legally, but you know, they start doing certain things
and certain acts that start aiding and abetting the violation
of federal immigration law.

Speaker 5 (01:59:51):
There they are committing criminal acts.

Speaker 27 (01:59:53):
And I think Trump and Tom Molmer a kind of
in a no nonsense attitude. I think the American people
are in no nonsense attitude about the whole immigration fiasco,
that of the Biden administration that hey, they'll go after
them criminally and that they okay find you. That's that's
kind of force you. And it's not a political retribution.

(02:00:13):
It's not really the lawfare again against them. It's like
you violated the law. You're vile, you're undermining. You're not
only undermining, but you're actually taking proactive steps to to
interfere with federal law enforcement. Trump administration, I could see
bringing some criminal cases against public officials who engage in

(02:00:33):
activities like that. And I think they're gonna be looking at,
you know, the non governmental organizations that are been that
have been made billions if you will offer this whole
open borders of the Biden administration, you know, which is
even gets into you know, into child child traffic and
child sex trafficking, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (02:00:54):
Uh, you know they've got now. I think the lightest
number I heard was about half.

Speaker 27 (02:00:57):
A million children who came up across the border who
they cannot account for where they are. Tom Holmes, to
President Trump's credit, and and you know Tom Holman has said,
you know he's getting get.

Speaker 5 (02:01:10):
The three priorities from President Trump.

Speaker 27 (02:01:13):
You know, one is to restore the border, build the
board back up, or get control of the border. The
second is the deportations, especially of the criminal elements that have.

Speaker 5 (02:01:23):
Flooded this country.

Speaker 27 (02:01:24):
And the third element is find these half million children
that are unaccounted for, because you've got to know most
of them, a lot of them are basically being being
sex trafficked and that's not right, you know. And so
President Trump, to his credit, said that's one of the
three priorities he's given to Tom Holman with respect to

(02:01:44):
to immigration in the border. And so, you know, and
it's just amazing that, you know, the these liberals, progressive
governors and mayors are always touting how they're quote quote
for the children, for the kids, right, what about these
half million kids? Do they really care about them? No,
it's all politics. It's using people, using kids for whatever

(02:02:07):
ends to advance their political purpose, which is power at
the end of the day.

Speaker 5 (02:02:12):
That that's the only political philosophy.

Speaker 27 (02:02:14):
I think the far left and of the Democrat Party
has demonstrated themselves committed to me.

Speaker 2 (02:02:21):
Yeah, you make a good point.

Speaker 1 (02:02:22):
I mean that there is no seizing the political high
ground when you are part of the administration that has
overseen uh, these these hundreds of thousands of missing kids.
When you're talking about women and children being sold into uh,
sex trafficking, sex slavery, uh, you know, and and forced
forced labor and all the rest of it. When you

(02:02:43):
talk about the uh, the bodies that piled up on
both sides of the border, with people who are desperate
coming across and drowning in the river and UH and
dying from exposure and the everything else, you know, all
the trials and travails of you know, make that trip
from South America or Central America up through Mexico and

(02:03:04):
to the southern board. It is absolutely horrendous the kind
of things that this administration and that these advocates have overseen.
So the days of them trying to have the claim
the moral high ground on this should be over. But
Kurt Hartman, stay right there. We've got some other subjects
to talk on and touch on as we continue on,

(02:03:26):
so we will do that right after this quick break
on fifty five krc DE Talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:03:32):
This is actually Aiken Eddi from the best.

Speaker 1 (02:03:36):
Fifty five KRC the Talk Station eight nineteen, Dan Carroll
from Brian Thomas. As we continue our conversation with Kurt
Hartman and Kurt I sent you a couple of links
early this morning, and one was to the Select Subcommittee
that was headed up by Jim Jordan talking about the
weaponization of the American government. And so when you look
at that and you go and you go, I mean,

(02:03:57):
you can seventy thousand pages. Now, I don't expect you
to have all that read, you know, I mean I
sent it to you three o'clock this morning, so I
know you didn't have all of it read by that.
But as you look at these, as you look at
these different reports, it is a chapter and verse on
some of the some of the goings on that happened
under this administration. And I think, you know, a good

(02:04:18):
lawyer could look at this and say that's criminal activity.
That's criminal activity. That's criminal activity. So if if the
Trump administration looks at this and says, you know what,
we need to investigate this, we need to prosecute this, whatever,
the media is going to jump on this and say, oh,
it's political persecution. We knew Trump was going to go
after its political enemies and all the rest of it. Somehow,

(02:04:42):
when Joe Biden does it to Donald Trump, well it's
virtuous and Trump is. I mean, he's a lawbreaker. I
mean everyone knows that and all the rest. But when
I mean, what does it say about law and order
in this country if this administration can get away with
all of this stuff and none of it is brought

(02:05:02):
to justice.

Speaker 27 (02:05:04):
Now, it's right, it's got to be a held accountability.
But you know, let's recognize it. You know, the whole
Biden administration was a story of no accountability for anything.
Nobody got fired over anything. You know, uh, you know,
the whole Afghanistan raw. You know, thirteen Americans get killed

(02:05:25):
because of the incompetence you know of Secretary of Austin
and people at the Pentagon.

Speaker 5 (02:05:32):
Nobody gets held accountable. And you know, I use that
just kind kind of as the example. But so, what's
it say.

Speaker 27 (02:05:39):
It's not surprising that this happened because everybody working within
the Biden administration kind of knew. Hey, you know, they
basically had the task of approval from the hires up
and the ultimate hire up to engage in this wallfare
against Trump and his supporters.

Speaker 5 (02:05:55):
The fact that they need to be held accountable.

Speaker 27 (02:05:57):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, I just saw them talk about these reports.
There was actually an article cannot yesterday or day before.
Just here at the end of December, the Inspector General
in the Department of Justice talk about three senior Justice
officials leaking information to the press about ongoing investigation uh,
just prior to the election in an effort to try

(02:06:19):
to influence the election.

Speaker 2 (02:06:21):
I read I saw that too.

Speaker 1 (02:06:22):
Yeah, I mean, that's the kind of stuff that that's
the kind of stuff that happened with regularity in this administration.
And it's a it's all it's I mean, it's all
coming out now in all these different reports. But on
one hand, I want to see these things looked at.
I want to see him investigated in a responsible way.
On the other hand, I don't want to see this

(02:06:44):
administration get bogged down and uh and and unable to
advance its own agenda because all of this other stuff
is going on. Do you think he's got the right
people in place to do both those same things at
the same time.

Speaker 7 (02:06:58):
I think.

Speaker 27 (02:06:58):
I think so he's got some smart people. I'm especially
optimistic with its Department of Justice and the FBI. I
think cash Matel because a great choice for FBI director.

Speaker 5 (02:07:07):
And you know what I have said, you.

Speaker 27 (02:07:08):
Know, to myself and to others is hopefully the administration,
the leadership he puts in the administration can keep focused
both not always looking in the rare view mirror, but
looking forward, because you need to figure out more even more.
I mean, these reports from the congressmen have been helpful,
but I think there's still more out there to look
back on. But that's not become so preoccupied on looking

(02:07:30):
back that we don't look forward, and how do we
put systems and checks in place going forward that this
never happens again, because you know, sad or happy, you know,
President Trump's not only going to be there for four
years now hopefully JD.

Speaker 5 (02:07:45):
Vance or whoever continue continues the legacy.

Speaker 27 (02:07:49):
But eventually, what when the Democrats come back into power
someday hopefully you know, several years from now. But when
that comes back, how do we how do we make
sure how do we make sure this doesn't happen again?
And how do we put structures and accountability in place
so this does not happen again?

Speaker 14 (02:08:07):
You know?

Speaker 27 (02:08:07):
And I think because I think that in essence, the
American people, you know, in the on November fifth, had
their voice heard and said and rejected this. You know,
in a certain sense, the American people on November fifth
were the final jury, if you will, in these cases
that you know were brought against Trump, the criminal cases.

Speaker 5 (02:08:28):
They were the jury at the end of the day
and said, no, this isn't right.

Speaker 27 (02:08:32):
They saw the law fare for what it was, and
that's I think in a certain sense, that's really what
November fifth was, was the jury voting and saying, you know,
this was wrong what they did to Trump. And I
don't think the left fully appreciates that still to this date.
But regardless, when President Trump and his people go in,

(02:08:53):
we need to have put things go looking forward to
make sure this does not happen again. And part of
that is accountability for those who excessively abuse their powers
and people.

Speaker 1 (02:09:04):
You know, you and I talked about, Yeah, you and
I talked about some of these different cases that were
brought against Trump, and I think we both predicted that
these things would would collapse under under their own under
their own weight, because they were all built on such
a shaky foundation. And I think when you go case
by case of all this stuff they brought against Trump
that turned out by and large to be true, It's

(02:09:26):
not because there was someone pulling some strings somewhere or
he got judicial favors from people on the bench. It's
because there really was no no secure underpinnings on any
any solid legal foundation to bring these to bring these
cases to begin with.

Speaker 2 (02:09:44):
And I think that's why.

Speaker 27 (02:09:45):
And then go ahead, I was gonna say, And the
American people, in their wisdom saw through it.

Speaker 5 (02:09:51):
Yeah, I think so I can get Let's give credit
to the American people for that that you have.

Speaker 2 (02:09:55):
Good idea, the majority of good idea. Can you hang
around for one more segment?

Speaker 5 (02:10:01):
I think I can yet.

Speaker 2 (02:10:02):
Okay, stay right there.

Speaker 1 (02:10:04):
We'll get a quick break in here and then we'll
wrap up with Kurt Hartman on the other side of this.
Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five KRC the Talk Station.

Speaker 2 (02:10:13):
Run a business and not thinking.

Speaker 1 (02:10:23):
Thursday morning, January second, twenty twenty five, New Year is
off and running. Not to start we were hoping for,
but here we are and we are continuing on with
Kurt Hartman and Kurt Hartman. Early this morning, I sent
you a link to Tom Klingenstein's website and a piece
entitled the Rise and Fall of the Never Trump Machine.

(02:10:43):
And I read this a day or so ago, and
I was thinking to myself. I mean, the Trump story
as a political story is absolutely amazing as it is.
But when you read this piece and you think about
everything that this guy has had to overcome, and not
only did he have to defeat the Democrat Party, not
only did he have to defeat the Obama and the

(02:11:05):
Clinton forces. Not only did he have defeat to defeat
the establishment Republicans. Not only did he have to defeat
the juggernaut of the federal government. When you talk about
the Justice Department investigations, and you talk about the special councils,
and you talk about the prosecutors in Atlanta in New York,
not only did he have to defeat all of that,

(02:11:26):
but he also had to overcome this machine of Bill
Crystal and Liz Cheney and the Lincoln Project, all these
right wingers, all these so called, you know, defenders of
freedom and democracy, these never Trumpsters who wound up selling

(02:11:48):
their souls and selling their credibility to far left multi billionaires.
So these were billionaires who were subsidizing people who became
millionaires to go out and been false narratives about Donald Trump.
And so when you look at all of that and
all these things that were arrayed against him. It is

(02:12:08):
almost unimaginable and remarkable in the extreme that he was
able to overcome all of that and is now going
to be in the White House on January twentieth.

Speaker 24 (02:12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 27 (02:12:19):
And the other thing, not only was it remarkable that
he overcame it, but what's also remarkable is his willingness
to fight it.

Speaker 5 (02:12:27):
You know, you know, in a certain sense, why did
President Trump need to really come back?

Speaker 27 (02:12:32):
You know here he is a billionaire in his own right,
has you know, his real estate empire, and most a
lot of this, most of this probably would never happened
if he was not running for president in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 5 (02:12:44):
Yeah, there was. Part of this was all part of.

Speaker 27 (02:12:46):
An organized collective effort to try to take him out,
to defeat him in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 5 (02:12:51):
But if he had said, you know what, I've done it,
I've had enough.

Speaker 27 (02:12:54):
I'm just going back to my business, I would mention
most of this, if not all, of this would not
have happened.

Speaker 5 (02:12:59):
Again to his credit. But to his credit, you know,
I think it was.

Speaker 27 (02:13:05):
His commitment, maybe a little bit of his ego, but
abot it's's commitment to this country to say, no, we
have some serious issues in this country.

Speaker 5 (02:13:14):
I want to fight for this country.

Speaker 27 (02:13:15):
I want to fight for these issues, and I'll fight
these people who are coming after me in court.

Speaker 5 (02:13:19):
Think about it.

Speaker 27 (02:13:20):
He was up in New York in a New York
state court for weeks on end, having to go to
trial right during the campaign, you know, and this was
part of that law fair we're gonna star him, we're
gonna smear him, we're gonna distract him from the campaign.

Speaker 5 (02:13:34):
And he had to sit in a courtroom for several
weeks there.

Speaker 27 (02:13:38):
Who would do that, you know, you you me or
anybody else who would do that knowing that, Hey, yeah,
I don't need the job.

Speaker 5 (02:13:46):
I got plenty of money, Yeah, I got my family,
et cetera. He was willing to do it and do
the fight, and he fought constantly, had to fight there.

Speaker 27 (02:13:54):
He had the lawyers fighting in Florida in the federal
courty of the lawyers in Georgia.

Speaker 5 (02:13:59):
You know, uh, Unfortunately I wasn't one of the lawyers.

Speaker 27 (02:14:02):
But it's like, you know, lawyers, it was a lawyer,
employment lawyer, Employment Act or the employee deployment actions on
behalf of the Democrats.

Speaker 5 (02:14:10):
But it's like, give him credit. He was fighting it.

Speaker 27 (02:14:13):
He was fighting it and ultimately vindicated by the American
people in November fifth. But it is amazing that article
you did say. It's a little like the article, but
it's a you know, it was really confirming the existence
of the swamp. The old Guard Rhinos, uh what I
with my day and probably your day, referred to as

(02:14:34):
Rockefeller Republicans, you know, the far left of the Republican Party,
who are very establishment, who are very pro government, who
are who believe themselves to be smarter than anybody else.
Therefore where we want the government in because we are
going to control the government.

Speaker 5 (02:14:52):
To tell you how to live your lives.

Speaker 27 (02:14:54):
And these were people who are really in essence for
just were and have been out of touch when the Republic,
with the Republican base and with the American people. You know,
the nature of this country historically, you know, the founding
of it is this very individualistic spirit of you know,
fighting for yourself, of working hard, of improving yourselves, your lot,

(02:15:16):
your family lots, with the traditional American dream, and this
whole concept of government is is better this, you know,
And it's that addage.

Speaker 5 (02:15:24):
It's the swamp. And these are just the Republicans.

Speaker 27 (02:15:28):
Part of the swamp, part of that power structure, and
they saw and appreciates that with Trump their power structure
and power influence was going to be disrupted.

Speaker 5 (02:15:38):
And they they did not like that.

Speaker 27 (02:15:40):
Right, people tend to take drastic actions and somebody feels
and sees that they're losing power, especially those who are.

Speaker 5 (02:15:47):
So who need, whose needs and existence is power.

Speaker 27 (02:15:52):
When they see they're going to lose that power, they
get very nasty and very vindictive. And that was confirmed
during these past four years. Quote from the demo that's
the Biden administration, the Democrats, and the far left, but
also from from these you know, you know, never Trump
or Republicans, and you know, it's beautiful. I think the
kind of the conclusion of the article, not only was
it very revealing how the far left was financing this,

(02:16:16):
but it's kind of like it's the demise of the
never Trump camp, because you know, it's it's amazing, uh
comically amazing that you look at them, you know, since
Trump has won the election in November, all the people
who are making their pilgrimage if you will, down tomorrow lago,
people who people who had nothing and wanted nothing to

(02:16:37):
do with Trump during his first term. Are literally going
down there and kissing the ring if you will.

Speaker 2 (02:16:43):
H Hey, he had a meeting. He had a meeting
the other day with the mayor of d C. For
God's sake. Yes, I mean, I mean imagine that.

Speaker 1 (02:16:50):
But no, it is very satisfying because you look at
this and you see people like Mona Charon and Bill
Crystal and and some of these other never trumpers, and
I think to myself, what are they going to do
now They've been exposed for the frauds that they are.
How out of touch they are. You wonder how Kamala
Harris blew through a billion plus dollars during the course

(02:17:13):
of one hundred day long campaign, and this pretty much
explains it. I mean, they really had access to unlimited
amounts of money and still couldn't bring this guy down.
So any shred of credibility that they had amongst these
hardcore left wing power hungry groups has been completely eviscerated.
And at some point, the look, these people don't give up,

(02:17:36):
do they. They don't give up. You know, they're going
to fall back and regroup and at some point try
and raise their ugly head once again.

Speaker 27 (02:17:45):
Right, You're right, they don't give up, because again it
goes back to power, their their power, their influence, stairy control,
and if they are losing it, or if they've lost it,
they're not going to give up absolutely, you.

Speaker 5 (02:18:00):
Know, you know, kick screen do whatever they have to do,
and they confirmed it, you know, to do it.

Speaker 27 (02:18:05):
It's interesting, you know, you talk with you know, some
people like Bill christ and Stuffing because some of.

Speaker 5 (02:18:09):
These people were involved in the Reagan administration.

Speaker 27 (02:18:11):
Yeah, and you almost gets me wondering were these some
of the people undermining the Reagan administration? You know, Ray,
I think Reagan was you know, great president, my first
president when I was voting, and the committed to this
you know, realignment if you will, of the Republican Party.
You know, he he he was now the Goldwater wing
of the party, not the Rockefeller wing. But it looks

(02:18:32):
like he had a lot of Rockefeller Republicans in his administration.
And I just wonder how many of them were undermining
Ronald Reagan during his two terms.

Speaker 2 (02:18:42):
Yeah, because I mean, and they wanted to.

Speaker 1 (02:18:44):
They wanted to maintain control on their power for as
long as they have, and I think we saw a
lot of that manifested in the actions of of of
doctor jil Biden and uh, I mean, god knows, I
think she loves being surrounded by everything the White House
has offered.

Speaker 2 (02:19:00):
And she did not want to let that go.

Speaker 5 (02:19:02):
Well, well, now I will tell you. You mentioned the
man check jump a little bit here.

Speaker 27 (02:19:06):
You know, Kamala Harris raised a billion dollars in how
do you lose a campaign with a bit?

Speaker 5 (02:19:09):
It's because you use all that money.

Speaker 27 (02:19:11):
To pay for endorsements from high influence and you know,
supposedly influenced people Oprah and all that you.

Speaker 5 (02:19:19):
Have to pay these people to endorse you.

Speaker 27 (02:19:23):
What a fraud, I mean, what a pro What a
fraud on Kamala Hiris's part, but also what a fraud
on all these liberal you know people Oprah and company
who so reindorsem were you know any reason you're endorsing her?

Speaker 5 (02:19:37):
It's because she just.

Speaker 2 (02:19:38):
Paid getting a seven figure check.

Speaker 5 (02:19:41):
I mean, you know it's paid sharp.

Speaker 27 (02:19:44):
They paid Al Sharpton right before Al Sharpton conducted a
CNN interview.

Speaker 2 (02:19:52):
No, I know exactly what you mean.

Speaker 1 (02:19:54):
And and it's and it's laughable that he's out there
talking raising the specter of possibly running once again.

Speaker 2 (02:20:00):
It's hilarious. But Kurt Hartman. Always great having you on, Buddy,
I appreciate the time.

Speaker 5 (02:20:05):
Tay, always great to be with you, appreciate the invice.

Speaker 1 (02:20:08):

American people. It is when we are a little late

(02:22:05):
more time that that Trump put out on social media.
We'll do that after the break here. If you haven't
heard that yet, it's pretty good. It's about two and
a half minutes of political commentator, two and a half
minutes of TV people, two and a half minutes of
carn John Pierre, two and a half minutes of Nancy
Pelosi and all these other Democrats.

Speaker 2 (02:22:26):
Talking about how sharp Joe Biden is. And Trump put that.

Speaker 1 (02:22:30):
Out on his social media the other day, and it
is worth. I played it earlier today, but it's worth
I'll listen once again. So we will do that after
the break here in the meantime, when Kurt Hartman touched
on the things that Trump wants to do when he
gets in office and what is going to be energy policy,

(02:22:51):
and Trump is going to have a vision of energy
that is way different than what Joe Biden had when
he promised to end fossil fuel. Trump is dismissive of
the immediate climate crisis narrative that drove much of Biden's
energy policy, but of course he's beholden to the.

Speaker 2 (02:23:07):
Left on that as well.

Speaker 1 (02:23:09):
He promises to establish American energy dominance and focus policy
on bringing down energy costs. Trump said he would end
the Biden Harris administration anti energy crusade and implement a
policy of energy abundance, energy independence, and energy dominance. Said
would include getting the price of gasoline down below two

(02:23:31):
dollars a gallon. So Trump has laid out a lot
of promises out there, and hopefully he'll be able to
keep these promises. And when it comes to energy policy,
I say full steam ahead, because if we are going
to see a reawakening and a revitalizing of this economy

(02:23:52):
on the likes of which we have not seen.

Speaker 2 (02:23:54):
In a long, long time.

Speaker 1 (02:23:56):
And we are reminded the other day of just how
bad things were with the passing Agejimmy Carter. And if
you remember, if you're old enough to remember the term
stagflation back when Jimmy Carter was president, I think we
were headed for that if we would have had another
term of Biden. And thank god that is not going
to happen. Let's get a quick break in here, and

(02:24:16):
then we will continue on the other side, and we'll
play that sound bite that that Trump posted on this
social media. It is definitely something you want to hear
on fifty five KRC, the talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:24:28):
At Donovan's poem.

Speaker 1 (02:24:33):
The ninth first warning by the forecast, we're looking at
partly cloudy or I'm sorry, mostly cloudy skies today, a
high of thirty eight, some snow expected to kick in
sometime tonight, and then by this time tomorrow, perhaps an
inch on the ground, maybe a little less.

Speaker 2 (02:24:48):
I'm gonna I'm gonna opt towards the less side on
that one. I don't think it's going to be all
that horrible.

Speaker 1 (02:24:54):
The other night, low twenty eight, partly cloudy on Friday,
high of thirty three and then really cold for Friday
into Saturday. Friday's overnight eighteen and only a twenty nine
for a high on Friday, so the cold weather is
coming in. It is thirty one at fifty five KRC
the talk station from the ucl Traffic Center. The University

(02:25:16):
of Cincinnati Cancer Center is the region's first and only
provider a specialized primary care services for cancer patients and
survivors called five one three five eighty five scene see
the ran from South Pound seventy five to South Pound
seventy one.

Speaker 6 (02:25:30):
It's open again above Walton after an earlier accident. Still
a bit of a slow go there. Elsewhere inter State
traffic looks good. Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs seed
the talk station, heading down the homestretch on this Thursday morning.
Glad to be always my pleasure to sit in for

(02:25:53):
Brian Thomas. Only one day this week, Kevin Gordon here tomorrow,
then Brian Thomas back on Monday.

Speaker 2 (02:25:59):
And on Monday this week. Not Joe.

Speaker 1 (02:26:02):
I'm looking at there's a there's a picture of Joe
Biden in this article. I'm looking at Donald Trump posted
a video that is people put together, and it is
it is very well done. It starts off with carn
John Pierre. Then you're going to hear Alejandro Mayorchis in
this clip. You will hear Nancy Pelosi in this clip.

(02:26:24):
You will hear that the Senator Kons. Wait, I'm trying
to think where he's what I want to say, he's
from Connecticut. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I don't know
Chris Coons, but he's he's a fool. You're going to
hear Chuck Schumer and other assorted Democrats talking about Joe Biden.
And this is the sort of thing that those of

(02:26:47):
us who know better were subject to over the last
couple of years. And only now are we really finding
out the truth of the matter. I mean, it's truth
that we knew all along. But of course with the
reporting that came out last week in the Wall Street
Journal talking about how all of this is true. But again,
Trump did a great job and putting this or well

(02:27:07):
his people did putting this together. And give it a listen, Joe,
let's hear that cut.

Speaker 8 (02:27:12):
Does the president have the stamina physically and mentally do
you think to continue on even after twenty twenty four.

Speaker 5 (02:27:19):
You're asking me this question.

Speaker 11 (02:27:20):
Oh my gosh, he's the President of the United States.

Speaker 7 (02:27:23):
You know.

Speaker 20 (02:27:25):
I can't even keep up with it.

Speaker 12 (02:27:26):
The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden
is preparing for it, because he is sharp, intensely probing,
and detail oriented and focused.

Speaker 13 (02:27:39):
I can testify because I've been working very closely with
this president for the past two years. I've been knowing
it for thirty years, and I'm telling you, this guy's tough,
he's smart, he's on his game.

Speaker 14 (02:27:48):
Joe Biden has vision, he has knowledge, he has a
strategic thinker.

Speaker 2 (02:27:53):
The President is focused.

Speaker 15 (02:27:55):
He's detail oriented, He's always thinking about the big picture, engaging.

Speaker 5 (02:28:00):
He is capable.

Speaker 16 (02:28:02):
He has an incredible record as president, and.

Speaker 17 (02:28:05):
I'm often with him on foreign trips. He's at the
top of his game.

Speaker 18 (02:28:10):
So he has a vision, he has knowledge, he has judgment,
he has a strategic thinking.

Speaker 4 (02:28:16):
I met with the President, I don't know five or
six weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (02:28:19):
But he seemed fine.

Speaker 19 (02:28:20):
To make have complete confidence in the President. I have
watched him expertly guide meetings of staff and cabinet members.

Speaker 2 (02:28:29):
I could not have more.

Speaker 9 (02:28:30):
Confidence than the President.

Speaker 20 (02:28:32):
I would just tell you that I meet frequently with
the President, and every single time I meet him, he
is just fine.

Speaker 21 (02:28:41):
But he is again, knowledgeable, wise, incredibly sharp, incredibly probing,
incredible command of the details.

Speaker 2 (02:28:51):
He is sharp, He is on top of things.

Speaker 16 (02:28:54):
There is nothing to these challenges, these suggestions that somehow
he's not sharp and he's not capable.

Speaker 14 (02:29:00):
See Joe Biden of Plus, we know how attuned he
oughts to the issue, and.

Speaker 17 (02:29:04):
You're going to see how smart he is and the
experience he has. I say his age is an asset.

Speaker 9 (02:29:10):
Aha, He's wise.

Speaker 2 (02:29:12):
Yes, he's wise.

Speaker 17 (02:29:13):
He has wisdom, he has experiences.

Speaker 23 (02:29:15):
And his experience because of his age and his wisdom
has been invaluable to this country.

Speaker 3 (02:29:22):
A lot of.

Speaker 8 (02:29:23):
Countries, people who've been in office a longer period of
time are praised for their wisdom.

Speaker 24 (02:29:28):
I have seen a lot of seventy two yields not
as capable as this eighty year old.

Speaker 22 (02:29:35):
It is hard for us to keep up with this president.

Speaker 25 (02:29:38):
His mental acuity is great. It's fine. It's as good
as it's been over the years i've been He's fine.
All this right wing propaganda that he is mental acuity
is declined is wrong.

Speaker 13 (02:29:48):
And this kind of sense that he's not ready for
this job is just a bucket of bs that's so
deep your boots will get stuck in it.

Speaker 2 (02:29:56):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (02:29:58):
I think that that is one of the most enter
cuts I've heard in a long long time, and it's
all these Democrats and early on there you had and
that was a cut.

Speaker 2 (02:30:08):
I remember that when it happened.

Speaker 1 (02:30:10):
When New York has talked about, hey, when you go
into a meeting with Joe Biden, you got to be
on your game. I mean, this guy is really bringing it, man,
he knows the details. He's asking the program questions. You
better have your act together. And how many times did
this guy testify before the Congress committees of Congress and
not have his act together? And you really think he

(02:30:33):
went the extra mile when he had to sit in
front of Joe Biden. You wonder how terrorist attacks happened
like we had in New Orleans yesterday, that's because that
guy was in charge of stopping it. And how did
that work out? It's a fifty five. I gotta go
until next time. It's been great fun sitting in for
Brian Thomas, Joe Strecker. Thank you for everything as always,

(02:30:53):
and until we meet again. I'm Dan Carroll on fifty
five krc DE Talk Station, Your.

Speaker 3 (02:30:59):
Boy, thank you for taking my call. Your country gives
us all somewhat to think about.
