Though, eighty two for the high.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Uh to overnight down to sixty degrees, a few clouds
eighty to high tomorrow, mostly sunny skies with possible isolated
showers overnight. Some rain does come in, its likely and
some storms along with it. Fifty nine overnight. That rain
will end at least by noon on Thursday, where we

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Cold front coming in fifty eight. Right now, time for
traffic chuck from you see on traffic center. You see healthy,
all time, comprehensive care.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
That's so personal and make sure if that's tomorrow possible,
that's boundless care for better outcomes.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Expect more.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
You see how dot com let side's blocked off southbound
seventy five years Cincinnati Danton Road with a wrecked facts
traffic from Tylersville. He's found two seventy five. There's a
wreck in forty two in Sharonville, banking traffic to Mostellar.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
They're on the left.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Northbound seventy five continues heaving out a burl linger into
town Chuck King Ramont fifty five k SEE the Talk Station,
a twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Eight to fifty five kr CD talk station. Always an
extra special time to be tuning into the fifty five
KRC Morning Show because we always get the Daniel Davis
Deep dive at this moment in time. Welcome back, retired
Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. It's a pleasure to have you
back on the show, my friend. Always a pleasure to
be here, Brian. Someday we'll have some real positive information.
Maybe someday you and I were talking about peace in

(01:24):
Ukraine with Russia, and today's not that day.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
But I look forward to that day because it's coming
in one day. That ward's gonna end, and then we're
gonna be happy.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I hope.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
So, I mean, if for no other reason than the
end of the just insane bloodshed, but whether we'll be
happy about the overall outcome remains to be seen. Are
we still at the same impass that we've been in
over the past months, Daniel Davis?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
What we actually have as a matter of fact, that
the one thing that has changed is that both in
the last three days, I think Vladimir Zelenski and Menro
Mac Brone had trolled President Trump actually, and they said, hey,
you promised that I would be meeting meeting Zelensky, would
be meeting with Putin within two weeks or there would
be consequences, and that two week according to both of them. Anyway,

(02:11):
their timeline expired yesterday on September the first, and they're going, Okay,
where's the meeting, And since there's no meeting, where's the consequences?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Which is pretty.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Amazing really to think that they're publicly calling out Trump,
who I mean, we got to be honest, his deadlines
have not meant anything in this Russia Ukraine war, going
back to the first twenty four hours of his term,
et cetera. But the bottom line is nothing has happened,
and there's no reason to have ever thought that Putin
was gonna meet Zelensky without some kind of concession from
him first.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
And so, yeah, to your question, we're kind of where
we were.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, Well, the light in the sand has obviously been crossed.
The meat didn't happen. So is this these additional sanctions
I keep hearing about that are always been rumbling in
the background, and every time we talk about additional sanctions
on Russia. We always hear that no Russia is gonna
be harmed by that. They got to work around. Nobody's
gonna stop buying Russian oil. There's nothing we can do
about it. I mean, what is coming? What was the trigger? Okay,

(03:07):
if that was the no, meaning is the trigger? What
is that trigger? Daniel Davis?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
What it was supposed to have triggered?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
According to Lindsey Graham and Senator Blumenthal, who came up
with this package what they call bone crushing sanctions that
were gonna because it included secondary tariffs on the countries
who did business with Russia, and they specifically named China, India,
and Brazil. And of course, as you may know, on
August twenty seventh, the tariffs did go into effect on

(03:39):
India fifty percent tariffs and which has.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Really made them angry.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
And I'm telling you that Tommy couldn't have been worse
for us because the last couple of days, and I
think even still some today, there's the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
meeting and you saw China, India and Russian leaders all
looking like they were best. I mean, I'm talking about
walking around holding hands, big, huge smiles, hugs, Meanwhile, Mody

(04:05):
won't even take a phone call from Trump, and then
there he is hugging and kissing basically Putin and Heshan
Ping and all these folks are talking about Listen, we
need them shift the center of the world economic and
other powers away from the West and form a new
block in the East.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
And that's not good for us. I'm just telling you, no,
it's not.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
That is what's happening, because we can't keep these kinds
of sanctions on India, and India is a big one
because we need them on our side. If anything, we
want to put a wedge between India and China, but
instead we're drawing them closer.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Together with this.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
And if you try to add China to this, I mean,
that'll have negative rebound impact on our economy. And I
don't think President Trump's going to do that. So the
question is does he have any cards to play? And frankly,
I don't see any. Yeah, I'm in the loss to
find them myself. But yeah, I'm glad you brought up
the whole Mody Jesian Pink Vladimir Putin meeting because you know,

(05:00):
for years, and I mean forever in my lifetime, China
has not had a healthy relationship with the former Soviet
Union in Russia. They kind of are like on opposite
sides of the same political perspective, but both of them
wanted to have dominant economic power, and they viewed each
other as you know, opposing forces in that regard. And
there's India growing by leaps and bounds over the past

(05:21):
several decades, populations, increasing their economies, getting better. They've been
a trading partner with US. But if you drive those
three together, you have a consolidated continent right there. I mean,
that is a real economic problem for US, most notably
given if you look at the trade imbalance between US
and those countries, they have an upper hand over US

(05:42):
in many areas, Daniel, And yeah, you're talking like two
point five or something like that billion people. Then you
add in all these others that are part of the
bricks and as you may know, there, I think the
twelve or something is the actual.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Number of members right now.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
But then there are a number of other states that
are in a partnership level, and there's I think a
total of forty nations either are in partnership or seeking
to become part of it. And that even includes Turkey
by the way, from them, from NATO country and from
you know, the southern part of Europe. So you have

(06:18):
more and more people looking to the east and when
they see policies coming out of the United States that
don't benefit them and that actually harmed them. And you
got to look at the economic deals we just made
with the European Union, with Japan, with South Korea, with Indonesia,
and some of these others. They're bad for them. They're
good for us on paper. But the more we have

(06:41):
these kinds of coercive measures on even our friends, more
people are looking to the East. I'm telling you that's
not good for us, and we're gonna have to do
something to change that.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
No, we've already been able to have. We've always been
able to have the bully pulpit. We have the dominant
FIA currency, the global default currency. But you know, in
this world of free flow of in and coordinated anti
American activity, a lot of folks out in the world
kind of felt we were the bullies on the block.
We always got what we want because of our mighty economy.

(07:09):
If you can put all those countries together and collectively
form some alternative to the United States individual economic might,
because lord knows, the European Union isn't going in the
right direction in terms of their economy. I mean, this
is I hate to use the phrase existential threat, but
we're kind of getting into that territory.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well it is, and you know, and historically, i mean,
people have been saying that you know about us for
a lot of the time, but the realities were that
it was a beneficial thing for these for many other
countries to be part of the United States and our
orbit because we made it so we made it a
win win kind of situation.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
But now then we're kind.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Of going into we win, you lose, and then we're
trying to compel compliance from other people where it's also
we win, you lose, and people are I'm telling you,
even our friends are getting tired of this now. I've
talked to some diplomats from countries that are friendly to
us here and watch in d C, and they are
getting tired of it behind the scenes, even though they're
not saying anything publicly. And it's just it's just bad

(08:07):
for us the direction we're going in. And it's it's
great to say peace through strength and all that, then
there's a place for.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
That, but there's also a place for.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
We need to join with us because we have a
good reason for you to do so, you know, by
followed by lead, by example, et cetera. But right now
we're just not providing that, and we we we got
to change it, or we're going to be in a
real world to hurt. Then it's gonna be hard, if
even possible, to reverse it if it goes too far.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yes, I'm sitting here just contemplating this.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's my dream that someday we might put down our
former differences, you know, the old Soviet Union versus the
United States. You know, evil communism versus the benefits of capitalism.
That's not Russia anymore. You know that if we could
just sort of ignore the Russia Ukraine situation for a
moment and its implications. I don't understand why we just
haven't decided to more, you know, embrace Russia more as

(08:59):
a legitimate trading partner, which would put down some of
our war aspirations. I mean, am I just being naive
and thinking that is a legitimate achievable goal at some point?

Speaker 4 (09:10):
I mean not with Chime, I know, I see, I
think it's even more That's one of the things that's
puzzled me because when in some of Trump and Putin's
direct conversations, they have specifically talked about business. The last
meeting included business leaders on both sides, not just military
folks or diplomats, and they're talking about things that they're
going to do after the war. And I cheered that on.

(09:31):
That's exactly what we should be doing. But that's why
it is critical, maybe even vital, that we get this
war ended and get back to something close to normalized
relations with Russia because it's in our interest to do so.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I know Europe doesn't want that. It's not in their interests.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
They've chosen to make it their interest to continue the
war and that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
But if they want to do that, then they need
to be on their own because don't drag us down
with it.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
That's what needs to change, and I'd love to see
President Trump get back on that track and finish it.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Object to the European Union into this, and I ah,
I see their position, and I see it for what
it is.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
It seems to be puzzling.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I mean, normalized relations with Russia would benefit the European
Union if for no other reason they can sort of
with a straight face by all that inexpensive natural gas
that they need to keep their damn economy going on,
since they went full windmill.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Straight up they did.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
And look at France, I mean, if anybody in the
European Union, France has the incentive to do so.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Their economy is really rocky.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Their facing of political uphill evil right now to where
there's facing a no voice, a vote of no confidence.
And then yet you have Macron telling his hospitals in
his country to be ready for a major war next year.
In twenty twenty six, they told their hospitals be ready
to handle up to fifty thousand casualties at one time
next year. What signal does that sent to Russia about

(10:54):
anybody talking about peace. You're talking about getting ready for
a war. How's that helping anyone?

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
And if you read about the current situation with France's finances,
they're calling them the Italy of Old. I mean Italy
was struggling mightily for years and years and years, and
they had to go through some massive austerity measures to
get the to write their ship, which they have. France,
it's a Charlie foxtrot man.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm sorry, full Windmill. You got me or there with
that one.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
That was good. I thought you might like that. Hey,
real quick, I just have to before we part company.
Daniel Davis Israel Army is struggling to get reservists to
show up. Wall Street Journal article from this morning. I
thought that was a rather interesting development. They're calling up
the reservists, but they're they having difficult time getting to
show up for duty. Maybe the Israeli populations a little

(11:42):
tired of the conflict in Gaza themselves.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Listen, that's that's what I was talking about.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
I think last time we were on the show is
why the chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces
was saying, don't go back into Gaza.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Let's get a ceasefire and get this deal off the table.
We need to breathe.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
And instead the politically readership said nope, we're gonna go
ahead and do it. And that's what they've done. So
the military they salute and go out, But then there's consequences,
whether you want it to be or not. And this war,
the Israeli Defense Forces was never designed to have a
long sustained war. They were only designed to have short,
high intensity and then over conflicts, and that's what their

(12:19):
whole history since nineteen forty seven had been. I think
a month was the longest that anything had gone. And
now here we're closing in on two years with no
end inside and the system is just not designed for that.
And because these reservists, they're not you know, three hundred
thousand active troops, they're supposed to have other lives, and
now that their lives are crumbling, businesses are failing, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
And they're just tired of going on to war what
they'd never signed up for. So they're gonna have to
make some changes politically whether they want to or not,
or they're not going to have a military to wield.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
All right, next week we'll have great news. Daniel Davis,
