Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Anywhere, anytime. Take your infoto go. Every day. iHeartRadio.
I'm powered by fifty five KRCS thetalk station. Did I have to take

(00:21):
time outside the game? You knowwhat I'm talking about, Just letting me
know. Right after long ago tothat Oh my rain, we got a
lot of nice guys. Frank Beardhit it. Come on, man,

(00:46):
I'm ready for mercy. It's aboutsix minutes after five o'clock on this Tuesday
morning, June eleventh. Happy birthdayto Frank Beard, a longtime drummer of
zz Top and the only member ofthe band who didn't have a beard.

(01:10):
Of course, Dusty Hill rest inpeace, Billy Gibbons still with us,
but Frank Beard still kicking and hittingthe skins at the age of seventy five
on this June eleventh, TI I'mGary Jeff Walker for Brian Thomason. Before
we look ahead and look back atsignificant events and people tied to this particular
date in history, including but notlimited to these, It was June eleventh,

(01:34):
fifteen oh nine, when Henry theeighth married his first wife, Catherine
of Aragon. I think it waslast week I was reading the history notes
about Henry the Eighth marrying a wife. It wasn't Catherine of Aragon. It
was one of the ones that followed. He had a propensity for June weddings
and July be headings. Nice guy. It was on this date seventeen seventy

(02:00):
the Captain James Cook, he wasthe guy behind the wheel of the British
ship Endeavor, discovered the Great Barrierreef off Australia by running into it.
Oh look what, I've discovered ahole in my bow, Jennal of A

(02:21):
seventeen seventy six. They were layingthe groundwork, they being the Continental Congress,
forming a committee to draft a declarationof Independence calling for freedom from Great
Britain. They'd have it done lessthan a month later. On this particular
date. In nineteen nineteen, SirBarton was crowned the first Triple Crown winner,

(02:44):
winning the Belmont Stakes. Those havebeen a far and few between triple
Crown winners over the years, butSir Barton was the first back in nineteen
nineteen. This is a big dayin Cincinnati Red's history because on June eleventh,
nineteen thirty eight, a guy namedJohnny Vanderveer Vandermere rather pitched the first

(03:09):
of what would be two consecutive nohitters. The Reds beat the Boston Bs
three to nothing that day. Fourdays later his turn in the rotation,
Vandermere didn't give up a head tothe Brooklyn Dodgers. The Reds beat them
six to nothing. If you thinkabout how rare no hitters are, and

(03:30):
there have been a few now inthe history of Major League Baseball, but
to do it in two consecutive starts. Nineteen fifty five motor racing's worst disaster
ever. More than eighty people diedduring the twenty four hours of Lamons in
France. Two of the cars collided. You may have seen the archival film

(03:53):
of this. Two cars collided andcrashed into spectators. And this is one
of the great mysteries of the twentiethcentury. Tied to this state in history.
It was June eleventh, nineteen sixtytwo, when three men who were
prisoned at Alcattrans in San Francisco Baystaged their escape. They left the island

(04:15):
on a makeshift raft, never foundor heard from again, which is what
you John Anglin, Clarence England andFrank Morris put plaster heads in their cots
and escape through holes in the prisonwall, and the mystery continues. Did

(04:36):
they die in the bay, whichis the most likely of scenarios, or
did they make it to the mainlandand just scatter and disappear. I mean,
there have been movies, There've beenall kinds of docu dramas, and

(04:56):
more than sixty years later, themystery remains a minis. It was on
this date in nineteen eighty five thatKaren Ann Quinland, the comatose patient who
you may remember her case prompted thathistoric fight the right to die decision she
did finally succumb at the age ofthirty one. Margaret Thatcher became the first

(05:19):
British Prime minister in one hundred andsixty years to win a third consecutive term
nineteen eighty seven nineteen ninety three.In the state, the United States Supreme
Court unanimously ruled that people who commithate crimes motivated by bigotry may be sentenced
to extra punishment. The whole hatecrime thing. I have many issues with

(05:41):
this, not that I think thatbigots should get off easy, but if
you murder someone or assault someone,I pretty much consider it a hate crime.
Like the hate crime committed by Timothymcveil in two thousand and one,
or the person that was accused ofand convicted of a hate crime killing all

(06:11):
those people at the Murrah Federal Buildingin Oklahoma City. Back in nineteen ninety
five, one hundred and sixty eightpeople died. Timothy McVeigh executed by injection
at a federal prison in Tarrehute,Indiana. I think the greatest punishment would
have to, I don't know,be forced to go to terre Haute to

(06:33):
die. And in twenty eighteen,the Supreme Court ruled that states can target
people who haven't cast ballots in awhile in efforts to purge their voting roles.
How about getting the dead people offof the voting roles? Please on
the birthday list? Former United StatesRepresentative Charles Wrangell, who was one of

(06:58):
the leading idiots in Congress, pavingthe way for people like Maxine Waters.
He is still around. Why heis using our air? I have no
idea International Motorsports Hall of Famer JackieStewart has a birthday. Singer Joey d
was with the Starlighters, did thePeppermints Twist back in the early sixties.

(07:19):
Is a birthday Adrian Barbeau. Forthose of us of a certain age,
Adrian Barbeau is permanently ingrained in ourbrains as being someone who could really fill
out a bathing suit. I don'tknow how she's doing at seventy nine,
but there you go. Graham Russellof Air Supply Is seventy four, one

(07:44):
of Joe Strucker's favorite groups from theearly eighties. I'm sure he's got some
lined up and ready to go.Donnie van Zant of the van Zant Clan
thirty eight special has a birthday today. Actor Peterman Joe Montana, who is

Thanks to Joe Strucker. We'll beon the DS today, my friend Savannah

named Jimmy James, and I'm excitedabout this. Jimmy James was He was

(09:39):
an Exxon Mobile executive who retired aftersome thirty eight years and he had traveled
the country as an executive for businessall the time, a real road warrior,
but then he decided as a golfer. His wife actual got him a

an effort which he succeeded in toplay golf at all of the top one
hundred golf courses in America. He'lltalk about his journeys, and he's a
fascinating guy. It's all ahead onthe Morning Show five point fifteen. Gary

(10:24):
Jenfin for Brian Thomas this morning onfifty five KRC the talk station. Keep
listening for the time, your forecastas you wake up this morning. A
very cool start, Yeah, Imean you would almost think it was late
April. We had a low fortynine this morning on the way, sunshine,

(10:45):
nice day seventy five and it remainsclear and sunnay through Wednesday. A
few clouds Wednesday night. Thursday,we will be up to a high of
ninety one with sunshine and no oldprecipitation in sight. At this point,
it's fifty two right now at fiftyfive KRC DE talk Station five nineteen.

(11:09):
It's only Rock and Rob. Ilike it, Elostin and spe Side.
What a spy? What about dayseven in the trial that's gripping the nation's

(11:33):
imagination. A president's son on trialfor lying on a gun form a felony
could get up to twenty five yearsin prison. Do you think that Hunter
Biden will serve a day in theslammer? I mean, more importantly,

(11:56):
do you think that Donald Trump willserve a day in jail. In a
tale of two different justice systems,which supposedly are the same justice system.
No one is above the law.Unter Biden tried in friendly Delaware, Donald

(12:18):
Trump tried in unfriendly New York.The jury continues deliberations in the trial,
and we will see five one,three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred the number to getin touch. And people are chopping it
a bit early on this Tuesday morningto talk, so let's let him talk.

(12:41):
Good morning, Pete, what's goingon? Good morning? Thanks for
filling in there. Well, No, I want to thank Brian Thomas for
taking off because I needed the cash. Oh good deal. Everybody wins.
Pad. Just want to update youon the mystery of Alcatraz. Uh Anglin
said stunned the FBI in twenty eighteen, sending him alone after fifty five years.

(13:07):
So he did make it well,supposedly supposedly. I saw that report
to Pete, and I'm not sureit was actually John Anglink, but no,
I remember that story. It's stillthey couldn't verify it was him.

(13:28):
He did send a note. Someonesent a note to the FBI claiming to
be John Anglin, but there wasno way to actually verify that in fact
it indeed it was. But yeah, I mean I think that somebody probably
made it off that that because theynever found the bodies in the bay.

(13:50):
I bet they all made it,you know. But if the FBI,
they wouldn't want to look stupid,so they wouldn't well no, no,
no, no, hold on,you're talking about the Federal Bureau of incoonfidence
not wanting to look stupid. Theylooked stupid every day for the past oh,

(14:11):
I don't know, seven or eightyears, Pete. Well, that's
true, but they wouldn't want toenhance that by letting people know that they
let these guys slip through the net. But as far as Biden, I
think that if he, even ifhe gets convicted, Biden will just pardon
him. That's a Joe. Wellnow Joe says he definitely is not going

(14:31):
to do that. If you canbelieve a word out of Joe Biden's mouth
ever about anything, you know whatI mean exactly was Brian said. I
guess we'll just have to get ourpopcorn out. Okay, Pete, thanks
a lot for the update on theAlcatraz escape. Larry, how are you
doing this? Morning, good,good, good good. Hey. I

(14:56):
joy hearing you got Brian and youguys. I've got some old vehicles drive
to work sometimes that don't get theAM signal and it kills me to have
to drive all the way to workwithout him apparent. Well, what what
kind of what kind of what kindof old vehicle you got that doesn't have
an AM radio? I figured allold vehicles had AM radios. Yeah,
yeah, it's got the AM infact's got a Panasonic, a real nice

(15:18):
radio add on radio. It's asixty nine Vy Van. I'm a Dodge.
I'm sorry, I'm Dodge Van.But uh it just don't for some
reason don't get the signal of AMsignal. So I don't know what it
is. But uh anyway, Uh, I got a couple of questions.
Uh yeah, I want to getyour penn A couple of things. Uh

(15:41):
the do you honestly think that JoeBiden will be elected president with all the
things they show on him, andthen any think his condition and all that.
No, I don't. I don'tbelieve that Joe Biden is going to
make it past the Democrat National conveyin Chicago. Okay, Now, can

(16:03):
you honestly think that Donald Trump isgoing to become president. I mean just
an opinion. You know, I'mjust one, you know what. I
have my hopes. I don't thinkthey're going to let him win, just
like they did not let him winwhen it should have been a landslide in
twenty twenty. Correct, they willfind every way to cheat, to obfuscate,

(16:27):
and to you know, baffle uswith their bs one more time,
Larry and Will. Here's the thing. If people like you, or people
who are Trump's supporters, and peoplewho are Republicans, and people who cannot
stand the policies of the Biden administration, which have all been detrimental to this

(16:48):
country, then if we do notstand up and make it so overwhelming a
victory that they can't find enough votesto cheat in the end, I mean,
yes, Donald Trump could be presidentagain, right right? Okay?
And also, uh, like Isaid, I enjoy your program. I
enjoy when you stand in for it, Bryan. But on the birthday list

(17:11):
used to I heard years ago,you would you would have that you had
it? You have the whole timeI've been listening to you. And he
used to tell the dates, andI got a question why don't you tell.
I mean, some of them you'llyou'll give the date, but I
used to. I like to hearthe dates of these stars and these famous
people their birthdays, so you youwant to know, you want to know

(17:32):
how how old and decrepit they reallyare. Yeah, I know, to
stop doing that. Some of themyou'll go ahead and say the dates,
but most of them you don't dothat more. Is there a reason for
that? I don't know. SometimesI feel a little guilty giving away people's
age, but they they are theage they are. I really shouldn't.
I don't know, right right,Okay, I like compared to my age,

(17:56):
like I'm seventy, and I justlike to hear these you know,
uh people who are close to myage that are still you know, famous.
Well, Larry, I'm sixty threeand I hope to get to seventy
some day. You will, youwill, and listen. Thank you for
taking my call. And I reallyappreciate your honesty. Oh, thank you
so much, sir. I appreciatethe phone call. It's five twenty six

(18:18):
back after a break on fifty fiveKRC, the talk station. Life can
change in an instant. The earthquakeimpacting Taiwand and the immediate ceasefires. So
staying informed DAN up to date iscritical. Before I get up out of
bed physically, I turn on theradio, I do slewing the car.
I'm pretty easy to just bring itup on your phone now more than ever

(18:40):
find out new interesting stuff. Iwant to know what's happening. News is
important to me. So you knowwhat's going on. It's a lot.
It's a lot going on going onyour information station. Fifty five krs the
talk station. Well after yesterday,which felt like late March or early April
all day long, the sun isback with us, and so are the

(19:03):
warming temperatures. Today sunshine, verynice day, seventy five. Humidity has
yet to set in. But wait, it's coming Wednesday mostly sunny, warmer,
a little bit more humid in eightythree, and Thursday sunshine, and
we get up into the nineties,the first nineties of the year, and

(19:26):
they will continue for the foreseeable futureafter that. It's fifty two now at
fifty five KRC the talk station.Gary Teff Walker in for Brian Thomas on
this Tuesday, June eleventh, twentytwenty four, and Sinsanna, a couple
of phone calls, people who areup and out and awake and alive and

(19:51):
ready to challenge me on my knowledgeof Alcatraz survivors. I want to do
an experiment. We've done it before, and Joe says it no problem with
people calling in in the five o'clockhour, usually at six o'clock when we
struggle, because people are actually doingsomething positive for their own lives instead of

(20:12):
calling a radio station. But I'dlike to hear from you if you're out
there, and find out exactly whatyou're doing at five point thirty one on
a Tuesday morning, because if Iwas not here, by the way,
the alarm went off at three thirty. Joe Strucker says, he's just not
sleeping at all. But I wouldlove to know what you are doing up

(20:36):
and out at five point thirty one, what you're thinking about, what is
going on with you today. Ifyou want to five point three, seven,
four, nine, fifty five hundred, we will take the calls accordingly
as they come. In the lateJimmy Buffett left quite a legacy in Cincinnati,

(20:56):
to say the least, it inthe name of the cities included in
the Great Buffett Classic Fins She camedown from Cincinnati, took her three days
on a train. Well, Cincinnatiwill not easily let go of that legacy.
Though Jimmy has passed. The CoralReefer Band is back out on tour

(21:22):
this summer said, hey, youknow what, the the parrot had masters
gone, but we'd like to getpaid too. And they're doing this as
a tribute to Jimmy who passed justthis past September. And they will be
a charity effort supporting Jimmy's nonprofits,Singing for Change, which funds organizations nationwide

(21:49):
to make a difference in their communities. Whatever that means. It focuses on
funding grassroots organizations that may otherwise getoverlooked by conventional funding. Again, whatever
that means, it's called. Thetour is called Keep the Party Going,
a tribute to Jimmy Buffett, andit will be at riverbedd on August fourth

(22:11):
this year. I mean a JimmyBuffett tour without a stop in Cincinnati is
sacrilege to parrot heads everywhere. Thiswill be just over two years after Jimmy's
last stop in town. He playeda sold out crowd for his Life on

(22:37):
the Flip Side Tour back in Julyof twenty twenty two. My late friend
John Ryder was the ultimate parrothead fan. We lost John just a couple of
months ago. I'm sure he is, if it's possible, he is partying

(23:03):
with Jimmy and Margueritaville right now.And the Jimmy Buffett phenomenon was apparent at
Riverbend more than fifty times. Alwaysmade sure that we were a stop on

(23:25):
every tour since nineteen eighty four,interrupted only by the nonsense that was the
COVID nineteen lockdowns. So August fourthRiver Bend, Jimmy Buffett back in Cincinnati.
The God rest his soul, andGod rest my friend John Ryder's soul.

(23:48):
I mentioned John just because he isnear and dear to my heart,
and it's as I mentioned, it'sbeen a couple of months since he passed,
just three weeks shive of his sixtyfifth birthday. He was loved by
many in town. And like Isaid, maybe he's partying in paradise with

(24:12):
the late mister Buffett. Coming upon five point thirty five on this Tuesday
morning, I'm Gary Jeff Walker andfor Brian Thomas, and we'll take a
quick break and come on back onfifty five KRC the talk station. Are
you a veteran service member? Itdepicts a nice day on the way,
still, low humidity, sunshine anda high up to seventy five. It's

(24:32):
fifty two now and here's the firstcheck on the roads this morning on fifty
five KRCV talk station. Frindly UCLTraffic Center of the University of CINCINNTI Cancer
Center is the region's first and onlyprovider a specialized primary care services for cancer
patients and survivors called five one threefive eighty five uce C. See highway
traffic in pretty good shape, andthat includes getting past what's left of a

(24:55):
work crew northbound on seventy five betweenSharon and two seventy five. They're moving
the barrels out of the way asI speak. Chuck Ingramont fifty five KRC
the talk station. So the questionis will Donald Trump go to jail?
Supposedly sentenced July eleventh by the samejudge who proceeded over the presided over the

(25:22):
Kangaroo Court in Manhattan, Marshawan.The outcome was predetermined. There's no question
about all that the evidence that Trumpcommitted any crime was not anywhere to be
found. So he's the first timeoffender of a nonviolent crime. So my

(25:52):
guess is that Marshan will throw thebook at him and send him to prison
in New York pending appeal. Theappeal should be filed. And it really
ought to you, in my opinion, it's always it's always been bound for

(26:14):
the Supreme Court, the United StatesSupreme Court, not the appellate court in
New York, because Trump will getthe same treatment there that he got in
Manhattan, regardless of the constitutionality ofthe trial itself, the violation of the
President's rights in all of that.And meanwhile, we have the other side

(26:38):
of the coin in Delaware, wherethe Biden name is basically the holy grail
on the tips of Toddler's tongues forwho that sounds gross for the last fifty
sixty years, maybe even longer thanthat. And Hunter, of course,

(27:00):
is facing felony gun charges there withall kinds amountain of evidence. And yet
most people are expecting at the veryleast a hung jury, if not an
acquittal, and no jail time forHunter. But Trump is going to be

(27:23):
taking part in a virtual interview withNew York Probation officers next Monday before a
sentence. This is what usually happensa pre sentencing probation interview. It's conducted
to prepare a report for the judgeto learn more about the defendant and possibly

(27:44):
help determine the proper punishment for thecrime. What else do you need to
know about Donald Trump, forty five, the former president of the United States
and the presumptive nominee for the RepublicanParty to be on the ballot in November.
What else do you need to know? He's a billionaire, he's a

(28:10):
businessman. What would this interview tellJudge Marshaon or will it just hack him
off? Like everything else about DonaldTrump? The Trump derangement syndrome that has
been displayed in this despicable debacle ofjurisprudence in Manhattan is it's unprecedented, to

(28:41):
say the least. Every legal personthat has commented on it, unless they're
extreme partisans on MSNBC have all said, I've never seen anything like this.
I've never seen rulings like this.I've never seen a defendant being faced with
a gag order and then being finefor violating a gag order that was unconstitutional

(29:03):
in a violation of Trump's rights.I've never seen except maybe in Stalin's Soviet
Union, someone going being convicted withouta crime being denoted. It wasn't until

(29:27):
the very end, turning during thejury instructions that they have any semblance of
an actual crime that was committed.And the President, for his part,
this is all he can do,continuing to request that the judge terminate the

(29:48):
gag order restricting him from speaking outabout witnesses in the case. Now that
the trials concluded, Wheresham could stilltake punitive action against Trump for violating a
gag order. The trial is over. This guy's a lunatic. There's good

(30:08):
news in another front here. Ijust wanted to mention Andrew Cuomo, the
former governor of New York, isabout to be put on the grill of
accountability in the United States House ofRepresentatives, to answer for killing grandmas and

(30:33):
grandpa's by sending sick people into nursinghomes in the heart of COVID during the
peak of the COVID nineteen scamdemic.His actions were responsible for the deaths of
thousands more people that didn't have todie, should not have died, And

(31:02):
I hope they hold his feet tothe fire until they burn. What about
you? It's five forty five ona Tuesday morning, and in that pleasant
note, we'll take a break,Gary Jeff and for Brian Thomas on fifty
five KRC, the talk station.A lot of times I talk about our
bis shine without the muggy pleasant seventyfive. Tomorrow we got sunshine. We

(31:26):
warm him up to eighty four.And that that line where it goes from
being nice to being kind of muggyis crossed. On Wednesday, Thursday,
will really feel it? Sunshine ina high then around ninety one and mid
nineties possible on Friday. Right nowat check on the Roads, here is

(31:47):
Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC.They talk station from the UCL Traffic Center.
The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center isthe region's first and only provider of
specialized primary care services for cancer patients. Hey and survivor called five one three
five eighty five. U see CeCeOh, But I work crews are wrapping
things up with the paving project onnorthbound seventy five between Sharon and two seventy

(32:08):
five. I'm seeing no delays toget buy what's left. Southbound seventy five
doing fine through Lachland. So isseventy one at the lateral closer Chuck Ingram
on fifty five KRC the talk station. Thank you, sir. You can't
hide your lion eyes unless you unlessyou're a biden. I guess in a

(32:36):
courtroom that's acceptable. This is notacceptable, and it's early, so I
feel like this is the only timeI could probably use this particular story,
which Joe found me from the SmokingGun. A guy in Texas. He

(32:58):
and his wife live in a morethan half a million dollar home in a
suburb of Houston. But that's notthe story. He's sixty years old,
but that's not the story. Hewas in an antique store, oddly enough
called the Curiosity Shop, wearing akilt, but that is not the story.

(33:29):
What is the story, Gary jeffof the story is that Mitchell Vest,
aged sixty, who pled to criminalmischief in connection with the incidents which
I am about to describe in notas great a detail as the story does.

(33:52):
He was sentenced to twelve months probationfor what well. He was walking
around the Curiosity Shop antique store,taking items off of the shelves, shoving
them up his kilt and yes,into parts of his particular part of his

(34:16):
body and then taking it out ofa particular part of his body and putting
it back on the shelf. Andhe was caught on video doing this.
He visited a store in place tomakeup brush and a restoration hardware piece in

(34:42):
the orifice that I'm speaking of beforeplacing them back on the shelf for display.
This is at one place. Thiswasn't even at the Curiosity shop.
He did this in multiple locations.The owner of the curiosity shop, which
I think Mitchell vest, was showinga great amount of curiosity more than certainly

(35:05):
he should have, and criminal curiosityat that. The owner of the Curiosity
Shop told cops that he took anantique bottle opener and a tobacco tent can
and placed them into the orifice underneathhis green skirt kilt, then returned the
items to the shelf. In bothinstances, the soiled merchandise valued it some

(35:32):
two hundred and four dollars had tobe thrown away due to what was left
on them. And this is anawful thing. I mean, it's an
awful thing for me to even betalking about it. But here's the thing.
If a guy, an older gentlemanwalks into your place of business wearing

(36:00):
a kilt, there's a problem.I'm sorry. I'm not against against the
Scots, and I know some peoplefor special occasions will wear a kilt.
I never have donda kilt. Inever never thought it was a piece of

(36:24):
fashion that I would do justice too. But if you're wearing a kilt,
and you're just out shopping wearing akilt, there's an issue. It may
not be this particular issue, butthere is there's something going on there that's

(36:45):
out of the norm. Don't youagree. Now, I'm not saying that
all people in kilts would do whatMitchell Vess did in the Curiosity Shop,
but the likelihood of something weird happeninggoes up tenfold if a man is wearing

(37:09):
a skirt. I know it's Pridemonth, but bear with me here.
If a man, and apparently thisis a married guy married to a woman,
but he just let his curiosity getthe best of him. And I

(37:31):
think the kilt had a great dealto do with that easy access and all
of them. Five minutes till thetop of the hour, your phone calls
and Dan was Second Amendment guy talkingabout among other things, the fact that
Donald Trump is losing his right,his Second Amendment, god given right to

(37:54):
carry a weapon because of the felonyconvictions in New York, and much more.
Here in the morning show, GaryJeff Walker for Brian Thomas on fifty
five KRC the talk station. Youare twenty twenty four election headquarters. The
only way you have a free andfair election is when you have an informed

(38:14):
electric fifty five KRS the talk station, iHeartRadio anywhere anytime, take your info
to go. I listened to youon iHeartRadio powered by fifty five KRC dot
Com. Donny van Zans, theguy behind this van celebrating his seventy second

(38:36):
birthday today the Jacksonville van Zands catchingup with you as I fill in for

(39:08):
Brian Thomas. I'm Carrie Jeff Walkeron this Tuesday, June eleventh. Flag
Day? Isn't not flag Day?Joe, June eleventh, I believe is
flag day? Seven minutes after thehour of six o'clock Eastern. That is
the jury. Friday is flag day? Okay? This coming Friday? Very

(39:32):
good. I almost thought it wasJune eleventh. I was wrong. It
happens. Sorry. Deliberations continue inthe Hunter Biden trial in Delaware, and
most of us believe that regardless ofwhat the jury says, Hunter Biden will

(39:55):
wind up and really for the chargeshe's being yards with though they are a
felony, they say he could serveup to twenty five years in prison.
That's not going to happen. Thatnever was going to happen. What I've
heard is anywhere from probation to upto three years in the slammer for the

(40:17):
violations committed if the President does notpardon him immediately after sentencing. And I
don't think most of us have anyexpectation that Hunter Biden is going to jail,
and I really don't care one wayor the other. It's not about

(40:39):
it really is about no one isabove the law. But it's more to
the point of a two tiered criminaljustice system in this country where Donald Trump
can be convicted of thirty four countsof a felony that they just made up

(41:00):
in New York and Hunter Biden allkinds of evidence to say that the president's
son committed a real crime and willnot be held ultimately accountable for it,
just because of the two venues Manhattanfor Trump Delaware for Hunter Biden. My

(41:24):
question is how long are the Democratsgoing to allow this facade to linger that
Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee andhe will be running in November. He
will be on the ballot in Novemberas their presidential banner carrier. How long

(41:50):
are they going to let this gowhen it's obvious that from the very beginning
he wasn't cotnosent enough to do thejob, and now it's gotten so bad.
Let me put it this way,and many of us have had to
deal with this, not me personally, but I watched friends have to deal

(42:14):
with a relative, a mother,a father, an aunt and uncle,
someone getting up in age and thenobviously being diagnosed with dementia of some sort
Alzheimer's. Maybe you're dealing with itright now. There is a certain point

(42:37):
that not only can the person whois affected in question not be allowed to
do things for themselves, but haveto have constant supervision. We're getting to
the point where Joe Biden has tohave constant supervision so he does not hurt

(42:58):
himself, so he doesn't fall down. You see all the people around the
president getting off Marine one. Yousee all the people who are you covering
for him and his daily gaffs.The White House has to issue corrections after

(43:23):
almost every Joe Biden's speech. Andwhat happened in Normandy. The D Day
commemorations an abomination to the men whogave their lives on June sixth, nineteen
forty four, as they came ontoOmaha Beach, the Americans, the thousands

(43:49):
of brave young kids who were justliteral automatic gunfire fodder for the waiting j
Germans in order to liberate France andto win World War Two. That was
the sacrifice that needed to be made, and it's commemorated every year. And

(44:12):
Joe Biden, as President of theUnited States, rightfully was in France last
week, but he shouldn't have been. He had no business being there,
He had no business speaking representing youand me, because he's simply not capable.

(44:35):
He's just not able to do it. There's all kinds of conjecture about
when they'll pull the plug. That'san odd thing to say on the anniversary
of the date that Karen Ann Quinlandied the right to Die case back almost

(44:55):
thirty years ago. But when willthey pull the When will the Democrats do
this? Do they wait to theconvention? Does it happen this week,
does it happen next month? Doesit happen after Trump's Trump's sentencing July eleventh?

(45:20):
Because I figure, if they canget not only a conviction of Donald
Trump and then a sentence of somekind of incarceration, whether it's home arrest
or you know, they send aSecret Service agent with him to the slammer
for until the election's over, isthat when the Democrats make their move.

(45:42):
I'm just curious. But if thepolicies of this president weren't so detestable,
I would feel badly for him thatpeople, not just the Democrats who have
no soul. I believe the Democratswho are in charge right now have their

(46:04):
soulless reptiles, but even his familydoing this to him, it's just so
cruel. Mississippi James, Hello,you're on the air. Hey, good
morning, Gary, Jeff, andthank you for filling in for doctor Thomas
this morning. Yes, you knowI call them, I call them a

(46:28):
doctor psychology or whatever you whatever Icall it. But you know, as
I tell people, being a sixtysix year old black man from Mississippi,
you know when that question come up. Now, is their two tiered justice
system. I get mixed emotions aboutthat. You know, just look at

(46:49):
our history. But now we justgot it going between politicians and rich politicians
and multi rich politicians. So reaskingthat question again. And I'm a self
proclaimed talk show junket. So Ilistened to conservatives and liberals up and down

(47:09):
the dial. You know, sometimeI think I hold d home on talk
show. Oh and it's easy,and it's easy to do, James,
believe me. Let me before youcontinue, let me tell you that as
as someone who has been a talkshow host for a long time now and
has been involved in broadcasting for fortyfour years, I have to disconnect sometimes

(47:34):
I have to just tune out becauseit's too damned much. And you know
what it's not. It's not reallife. It doesn't have the politics and
policies and things that are put uponus in supposedly in our name representing us

(47:54):
do have an effect on our lives. But generally, if I could do
completely without politics, I would.It's just a necessity, you know.
And you're right, sometimes you haveto disconnect because it depends on which side
you listen to. Hey, theyjustify everything. Trump have done. Even

(48:17):
if they twist theyself into a pretzelsometime they know what's going on with Biden,
you know, so both sides twistthemselves in a pretzel and I just
feel the comfort sort of like,well, me and my wife. You
know, she's a stroke survivor.I don't know whether you know or not,
but after COVID, you know,we went into what I call our

(48:39):
little bubble and we've been in thereever since. And it's a comfort level
in there, you know, AndI say, hey, don't let the
world take you down, don't letthe e motion and like you say,
disconnect. But just you know,well, James, let me ask you
this. How many people have youYou say your wife is a stroke survivor,

(48:59):
and God bless her. How isshe doing? Well? We're ten
years into it now, but atthe time she had the massive stroke,
they didn't think she was gonna makeit through tonight and they didn't think she'd
be able to walk again. Notalk, Well, how is how is
but how is her cognitive health?How is her mind? Well? You

(49:22):
know, it comes and goes,and I'm talking about from hour to hour.
Yeah, you know, you'd bewith her one hour and she can
be so focused a just wait though, just wait next hour. She off
in the pass and saying something thatthis connect. So she is not someone
that you necessarily would leave on herown on a regular basis. Correct,

(49:46):
correct, All right, Well,I think Joe Biden is at that point
now, and that was my point. Six seventeen at fifty five KRCV talk
station. This is what's happened.A really nice day ahead seventy five for
the high. Temp will be backin the fifties tomorrow morning, but on

(50:07):
the way to a high of eightythree on Wednesday. Again. Sunshine maintained
throughout this stretch. Thursday we touchedthe nineties for the first time this year.
It's fifty one at fifty five krcDE taalk station. Here's Chuck Ingram
from the ucl Traffic Center. TheUniversity of Cincinnati Cancer Center, as the

(50:29):
region's first and only provider of specializedprimary care services for cancer patients and survivors,
called five on three five eighty fiveUCCC Highway traffic in pretty good shape
at the moment. No major timedelays to deal with. Overnight work crews
wrapped up and done. They havecleared the truck fire on Westerns that is
open again near Dalton Chuck Ingram onfifty five KRC the talk station back to

(50:54):
what I was talking about with MississippiJames and before that, do you recall
when Dick Clark had his stroke andthen at his behest. I'm sure Dick
Clark Productions brought him back for theNew Year's Rock and Eve as he was

(51:22):
recovered as much as he was goingto recover from said stroke and how painful
it was to watch. And thequestion at the time, asked by thinking
feeling caring people was does anybody careabout Dick Clark? Anybody close to him,

(51:45):
family, those who work with himor around him or work for him.
And the answer was plainly no.This goes to what's going on right
now sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue with thecurrent president or the acting president. There

(52:08):
was no one in Joe Biden's circle, family or friends, if he has
any, it's kind of obvious hedoesn't that cares one lick about him because
they wouldn't let him continue. Theywouldn't let him run for reelection for sure,

(52:34):
and they wouldn't let him go offon these wild tangents and shake hands
with invisible people and walk into wallsand talk to dead people. He's Haley
Joel Osmond, for God's sakes.In the sixth sense, it's crazy.

(52:58):
This is weekend at needs run amonk that we're watching witnessing every day.
And this goes far beyond politics,because far beyond policy. But this guy
is supposedly leads the figurehead of theentire federal government as the CEO, as

(53:22):
the Chief executive officer, as thecommander in chief. Have you ever had
to take the keys away from somebody, I'm sure some of you listening have,
and not just take the keys away, but make sure there's nothing in

(53:50):
a person's room that's going to hurtthem if they pick it up and do
something mindless because they're d is gone. This is what we're watching right now,
and some of the Libs and someof the Dems are starting to finally
admit it. But this has beengoing on now for a couple of years.

(54:22):
This is not This is not politicalor partisan on my part to say
these things at all. He's gone, and everybody acts like he's got clothes.
The emperor has had no clothes eversince the close of twenty twenty one.

(54:45):
Helo, Michael and Colray. Hello, do you know who's behind everything?
Obama? Barack Obama President. Yeah, he's behind everything. Why would
you want to stay in Washington?He's the first presid that stayed behind him
and his wife hated the place,but yet they stayed behind. I agree,

(55:07):
I agree. So he's one's incharge. Well, he's certainly he
certainly doesn't care about Joe Biden andneither does anybody else connected with that whole
regime. Six twenty six A break, and then Dan was joins us on

Jeff Walker and my friend Dan wasthe architect behind a Good Gun, Bad

(58:51):
Guy, the series of books,the website, a regular guest and contributor
to Ammo land and and the YouTubeshow Loaded Mike. That's m c here.
He is joining us this morning andDan, Good morning. A couple
of pertinent questions as we begin.But first question is how are you hey?

(59:14):
I'm good, Gary, Jeff,thanks for having me on the show.
Oh no, thanks for agreeing todo this at last minute. So
a couple of issues, because Iknow that you are a defender and a
protector of our god given Second Amendmentrights to own and bear firearms at any

(59:34):
time as a citizen of this country. Now Donald Trump, now a convicted
felon, is facing losing those rights. Do you think this is a just
thing. I don't think any ofthat's just. I think I think everything
they've done to Donald Trump so farhas been unconstitutional and just and just playing

(01:00:00):
wrong. I mean, it's andit's clear that they're doing it just because
they are scared to death that he'sgonna win. And uh, I think
they're scared that they're gonna that he'sgonna put all them in jail, all
the corrupt Democrats, which in somesmall way I would like to see.
But no, yeah, of courseit's not. It's very unjust. Although

(01:00:22):
he does have secret service, uhso, so at least he would still
be protected. Well, they tried, they tried to take that away too.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. So, so it's pretty clear what they
want to do to him. Theywant to make him vulnerable to everything.
You know, I believe that theywould. They would they would kill him

(01:00:45):
if they could, but that wouldbe too obvious. But as far as
his gun ownership rights, he istechnically a convicted felon, and we can
believe it's not just all day long. But but the law says you can't
you can't own and bear a firearmif you're a convicted felon. Isn't that

(01:01:07):
correct? Yeah, yeah, that'sthat's true. The way I always look
at gun laws is I think Ithink they're all unconstitutional. I don't.
I don't. I can read theSecond Amendment over and over and over,
and I don't see any gun restrictionsin it. I don't see any red
flag laws. I don't see anygun free zones. I don't see any

(01:01:30):
magazine capacity restrictions. I don't seeanything in the Second Amendment what I believe
is that if a person has donesomething so heinous that they deserve to lose
their their God given rights and andtheir their Second Amendment right in particular,

(01:01:51):
then that person should The thing thatthey've done should probably be bad enough to
put them in jail. Right.But the problem is we have a legal
system that keeps criminals out of jailand uses them as an excuse to push
for more gun restrictions because the politicalleft doesn't want the political right to have

(01:02:16):
firearms. Well, it's certainly notlisten to this. Based on what you
just said, Hunter Biden should noteven be on trial for a gun violation
a gun form regulation because he wasobviously addicted to crack at the time and

(01:02:40):
led on the form in what you'retelling me, and what I'm gleaning from
this, Dan, is that thatmeans that Hunter Biden shouldn't have committed shouldn't
have been charged with any crime ifthe Second Amendment doesn't talk about I mean,
what egregious thing has Hunter Biden doneto lose the right to own and

(01:03:02):
bear a firearm? I mean,just conversely, I'm just playing devil's advocate,
you know what I mean? No, I and in some small way,
I agree with you that that thereshould not be a pistol permit application
where you get run for the ringerby your government so they can decide if
you should have the right or theprivilege, I should say, to carry

(01:03:25):
a firearm. So that you know, what Hunter Biden did is he broke
a law that I don't even agreewith. I don't think that law should
exist. So so you know,although it would be nice to see a
Democrat get in trouble for once,I don't agree noel a law to begin

(01:03:47):
with right exactly. So let meask you this, Danny, what what's
new on the slate for Dan Wallsand what you're writing for a land and
to continue to protect all of ourSecond Amendment rights in this country as law
abiding American citizens. What's going on? Well, I'm getting ready to go

(01:04:11):
to Knoxville, Tennessee for a bigevent that's put on by Gun Owners of
America, which I'm affiliated with,and it's called Goals And it's a huge
event where there's going to be allsorts of vendors, there's gonna be all
sorts of speakers. It's a huge, huge event. It's gonna be thousands

(01:04:32):
of people there in Knoxville, Tennessee. That's going to be the weekend of
the seventeenth and eighteenth of August,So getting ready for that. I'm going
to be hosting a legal panel whereI will be hosting several attorneys. We're
going to be talking about gun laws. I'll also be doing a book signing

(01:04:53):
for my Good Gun, Bad Guybook series, and I'll also be on
a panel myself where I'll be talkinga lot of things that I discussed within
the gun conversation. So that's that'sone thing I'm looking forward to. And
then September, I'm going to gunrights Policy Conference in San Diego, which
will be doing a lot of thesame things. Big Second Amendment conventions coming

(01:05:13):
up, so I urge everybody lookedthose up. I am more. I
just wrote an article for amaland there'sa new law being passed. It just
recently passed out to representatives that grantspolice officers nationwide concealed carry privileges. It's
called Hr three fifty four, theLaw Enforcement Safety Act, but it does

(01:05:36):
basically it gives former retired ex militaryor former retired police officers the ability to
carry in places that regular people can't, and we don't quite understand why this
privilege is being given to off dutyor retired police officers. Tell you what,

(01:05:57):
hold on just second, I gotto take a break and I'm back
for the next segment. You gottime, all right, and we'll talk
more about this because I want toget into the meat of this from your
perspective. Dan Waws is our guest, Good Gunbadguy dot Com. It's six

(01:07:06):

bit of fog at Love one beforeheading into the smart lane. But everything's
moving along at an ease and pacewith it. Chuck Ingramont fifty five KR
see the talk station And at sixforty one we're talking with Dan wah was
good gunbadguy dot com. Second Amendmentwarrior protecting your God given rights as guaranteed

(01:07:34):
by the government. Supposedly, well, apparently there are special rights for some
of us and the rest of us. Well, we can just go pound
salt if we don't like the thelaws, the unconstitutional laws that they try
and pass all over the board.But you're Dan, you were talking about

(01:07:55):
this law and this law that haspassed in the House of Representatives that gives
law enforcement, off duty or whatever, the right to carry concealed carry anywhere
anytime. Right, Yeah, exactly. It's called HR three p fifty four.
Now, the worst thing about gunlaws, I think is the gun

(01:08:17):
free zone. It's got to bethe worst possible scenario that can be set
up for people, because you know, good people who don't want to violate
the law, they go into gunfree zones. You go into them every
day, and you disarm yourself.You go in vulnerable, and it's the

(01:08:42):
worst place because the vast majority ofkillings happen in gun free zones because criminals
understand that they're victims will be unarmedand helpless. What happens is we have
gun free zones everywhere, and itmakes it very difficult when you're going out
in public and you're going to youknow, certain places, whether it's government

(01:09:04):
buildings or schools or or you know, even some private businesses. So what
they've done here, though, isthey've given or they want to give,
uh, you know, ex lawenforcement, former retired law enforcement, the
ability to carry in those gun freezones places like school zones, national parks,

(01:09:27):
state local private properties that are opento the public. It includes some
federal facilities, and you know,it expands the the ability for certain law
enforcement officers to cross state lines withconcealed carry firearms, which is another issue
when we travel. Sometimes it's difficultbecause state laws are different when it comes

(01:09:48):
to firearms. So what they're doinghere is they've they've taken away a god
given right, Second Amendment right,and now they're handing it back out to
certain people as a privilege. Andin this case it's to former law enforcement

(01:10:11):
or off duty law enforcement. Soit's it's not okay. I think they're
doing it because they understand that theirgun free zones are deadly zones. They're
killing zones, yes, and theyunderstand that, and they know that the
cops can't be there quickly enough,so they're almost in a position where they

(01:10:33):
need, you know, people,they need to have somebody there if times
you know go you know, gobad. Yet they still haven't been able
to push that ability to over tothe average citizen, the average civilians.
So it's pretty disturbing. We're gonnafight the whole thing. I'm sure there's

(01:10:56):
court cases about this, and therewill be if it does get passed.
But gun free zones are very dangerousand I don't think anybody should be restricted
from carrying their firearm in anywhere.Right exactly shall not be infringed, I
believe, is the language in theBill of Rights regards the Second Amendment.

(01:11:19):
Correct. I don't know and Idon't know if people know this, but
you know, Joe Biden introduced theCrime Control Act in nineteen ninety and in
that Crime Control Act was the GunFree School Zones Act. And ever since
Joe Biden introduced that Gun Free SchoolZones Act, you know, firearms were

(01:11:39):
removed from campuses and ever since thenschool killings. Since then they've doubled,
and the increase at twice the rateof increase every ten years. School killings
do all because of Joe Biden andall because of the pandering to the anti
gun crowd. So these people,these left wing anti gunners, are are

(01:12:00):
responsible for getting people killed in gunfree zones. They don't do anything about
it in this case here they're lettingcops carry now or they want to,
but it doesn't really help the problem. Well, I mean, police officers
are at least, and I willsay, I agree with you in principle
that this is just picking and choosingwho gets the Second Amendment right is ludicrous,

(01:12:26):
But at least officers have had trainingwith their guns and could be at
least a buffer for the rest ofus poor sheep and a gun free zone.
I mean, you would think that, and that makes logical sense.
You know, you would think that, you know, police officers are well
trained, but that's debatable. Asmatter of fact, a lot of my

(01:12:51):
gun owning friends will argue that,saying that police officers really don't have the
training that most gun owners do.So that's a that's an argument that a
lot of people have, you know, on a regular basis, because we
see that a lot of police officersdo not train as well as they should

(01:13:14):
and they are not good to shot. And I'm not trying to take anything
away from police officers doing a hellof a job and they and they've got
a tough job to do, andwe appreciate them very much, but the
fact is that not all of themreally train as well as they maybe they
could. We're going to talk aboutthe dangers of red flag laws. In
just a moment, Dan, ifyou can hold for one more break.

(01:13:36):
I know I got you up earlyand now I'm keeping you on the phone.
Is that okay? No problem?All right? More more with Dan.
Was in just a moment here onfifty five krs the talk station,
This Sonny in seventy five this afternoon, clear in fifty one. Now he's
chucking with traffic on fifty five KRCVtalk station from the UCO Traffic Center.

(01:14:00):
The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center isthe region's first and only provider of specialized
primary care services for cancer patients andsurvivors. Called five one, three,

(01:14:21):
smart plane, but everything's moving alongat an decent pace with it. Chuck
Ingramont fifty five KRC the Talk Station. Here's bos Skaggs, who just had
a birthday this past weekend. Stillgoing strong after all these years. It's
ten minutes away to the top ofthe hour. I'm Gary Jeff Walking for

(01:14:42):
Brian Thomas Morning Show on fifty fiveKRC the Talk station, and Dan was
our guests for the next few minutes. Dan, you and I have discussed
many times the horror that are socalled red flag laws. People all always
say in the wake of some horribleshooting incident, is that, well,

(01:15:06):
you know, if there was onlysome law that could have predicted this crazy
person was going to do this,then we could have prevented it. And
the fact of the matter is itseemingly, no matter how many red flags
have been raised about certain people,the people closest around them don't do anything

(01:15:30):
about it. But describe why peopleshouldn't be fooled by red flag laws as
being an answer for mass shootings oranything else. Well, sure, And
first of all, there are abouttwenty two states that have red flag laws,
and a red flag law otherwise knownas an extreme risk protection order otherwise

(01:15:54):
known as confiscation without due process inthe two states right now who have it
all in different forms, but basicallyit's where the court can be petitioned by
a family or a friend or anassociate or basically anybody, and you can

(01:16:14):
have your guns actually removed from yourhome based on, in most cases purely
an accusation that you're a risk tosociety. So there's no due process.
You don't go to court to fightat first. You go to court later
in the hopes of getting your gunsback and clearing your good name. So

(01:16:35):
it's a it's a heinous law.The you know, the thing, the
thing that I always go back towith red flag laws is, you know,
if the person is such a risk, why aren't they in jail?
I mean, wouldn't they have alreadydone something bad enough so you have a

(01:16:56):
reason to take their guns? Andif so, I would assume that that
thing that they did would be badenough that they should be in jail.
Why aren't they in jail. Theshooter, the shooter at Parkland in Florida,
the shooter at Parkland, law enforcementcame to wherever he was staying some
thirty times, yeah, before theshooting, before the event took place,

(01:17:20):
and did basically nothing. Yeah,so something should have been done with the
person. And so what they dois they let these things happen and then
they go after other people's guns.You know, it's just it's just crazy
and you know, and then I'lltake the other side of this. If
the person hasn't done anything wrong,then leave their guns alone. You know,

(01:17:44):
we're not going to be able todetermine And this is the thing that
a lot of these politicians want todo, or think that they are capable
of doing, is determining what youmight do in the future. And that's
just not possible. And it's notokay to go and take someone's rights away.
If they haven't done anything, youknow, so so the red flag

(01:18:05):
law is really just a tool tobe able to confiscate guns from whomever the
government wants. And along with thered flag law, you know they'll they'll
use, you know, they'll they'lluse a lot of other you know laws

(01:18:25):
to you know, to to violateand take away your rights or red flag
laws are just a just a toolto confiscate you know, they'll use the
universal background checks, which is whatthey want, so they can have a
registry of guns so they know whohas guns. And you know, those
two together will work perfectly in theconfiscation of firearms. So you know,

(01:18:47):
universal background checks so they can trackthe guns to your front door, and
then the red flag law as thetool to actually take them without due process
idea. And you know, peoplehave gotten killed in their own homes because
of these red flaglass. Yeah,you've seen the movie Minority Report. Do

(01:19:08):
you want to live in that society? I say no, right exactly.
You know, they can't predict younobody can predict what someone's going to do,
and if they haven't done anything yet, then leaving the hell alone,
right, Well, Dan was wherecan people find out more? I know

It's a six fifty six and thisis the morning show Gary Jeff Walker in

it. The United States will notbe Hey, migrants camp. Get the
latest at the top of the hourfifty five krz the talk station four Election.

(01:20:57):
I don't think Trump or Biden isgetting us a lot to talk about.
You need to be on fifty ah. Yes, taking a quick respite
to head to our fiftieth state andobvious communist country known as Hawaii. Today,

(01:21:19):
according to my friend Bill Beckman,is King Kameya Maya Day. This
day is a public holiday celebrated everyJune eleventh in the Islands of Hawaii.
It honors Kamehamea the Great, whounified the Kingdom of Hawaii Hawaii. So

(01:21:40):
I do not have his birth date. I don't know how old King Kamehamea
would have been had had he stillbe around, Yes, Larry, who
was upset earlier that I don't givethe exact age. I don't even know
if this is his birthdate or not. It's just designated King Kameha Maya in

(01:22:00):
the Islands of HAWAIII So if you'reof Hawaiian, if you're of Hawaiian descent,
happy kameamea day. I hope itis everything that you hoped it would
be. Seven oh seven on Tuesday, Tune eleventh, twenty twenty four and

(01:22:21):
Gary Jeffin for Brian Thomas. Straightenup here a couple of things. Did
you see the latest mostly peaceful protestin Lafayette Park with the vandalization of the
Rochambeau statue, of course, oneof the French generals, along with Lafayette,

(01:22:43):
who helped us secure our freedom fromthe tyranny of the Crown of Great
Britain in the Revolutionary War. Andthere were those useful idiots up there defacing
statues in clear violation of law ofUS law, and no one gets arrested.

(01:23:03):
Meanwhile, there's a seventy something grandmotherwho is facing ostensibly the rest of
her life in jail for praying outsidean abortion mill. In this country,
you want to talk about a twotiered system of justice. If you're on
the left and you're a radical whowants to take down everything's sacred about these

(01:23:30):
United States of America, you canget away with anything up to and including
murder if you're on the right andyou care about unborn life, or you
care about whether or not the governmentis being honest with you, you can

(01:23:51):
go to a prisoner gulag for monthsand years. By the way, someone
who was in the DC goolog andin prison for three years will be joining
us tomorrow morning, bright and earlyat six o'clock. I want to just
kind of point you in that direction. So if you're interested in a what

(01:24:13):
I call a January sixth survivor,Tim Hale will join us tomorrow morning,
right around six o'clock. His storyis just it's riveting to me, and
it just may change your perspective onthe people who were arrested on January sixth,
which the FBI are still going afterright now, even people who did

(01:24:40):
not breach their sacred capital, whichI always thought that the capital of our
nation was the people's house, butwhen the people went in, it was

(01:25:00):
just the house member's house. Youknow. Maybe it's one of those things,
like January sixth is one of thosethings. It's not what you said,
it's how you said it. Whatever. That's tomorrow morning. There is
a bipartisan bill working through the Housein Ohio. If it becomes law,

(01:25:28):
it would mean law enforcement agencies wouldbe prohibited stop from imposing ticket or rest
quotas for officers to meet in atime period. And you know, you
talk to police, and I've donethis before, and in some states have
passed the ban on ticket quotas orrest quotas. So in some states,

(01:25:55):
yeah, it's true. In Ohiothey haven't passed this yet, and I
hope that they do. But I'veasked cops before, just off the record,
I said, you guys have quotasyou've got to meet for like speeding
tickets. Oh no, no,no, we don't do that. They're

(01:26:16):
lying to you if they tell youthey don't do that, because they obviously
do. Or this proposal, thispiece of legislation, wouldn't be being an
active state to Rep. Bride RoseSweeney, a Democrat in Cleveland and Kevin
Miller, a Republican from Newark,Ohio who's a former state trooper, sponsoring

(01:26:39):
this bill that would end the practiceof requiring officers to meet quotas. Don't
you always say when you see twoor more out on the interstate end of
the month, got to get thosetickets in. And obviously Ohio has this
quota system. Miller, in writtentestimony, said that officers shouldn't be used

(01:27:00):
by managers to generate revenue. Indoing so undermines public trust. Banning quotas
would allow officers to use professional discretionin public safety to guide when to make
arrest or write tickets. The billcalls for an anonymous complaint system so officers
could blow the whistle on employees oremployers who use quotas. Ohio would be

(01:27:23):
joining dozens of other states that prohibitquotas. I got to get the list
of the states where there aren't quotason speeding tickets or traffic tickets or arrest.
A report by the Brennan Center forJustice, whatever that is said.
Quotas are sometimes framed as productivity tools, but often are used to raise money

(01:27:45):
for local government. Call fers,do you think that's why we call it
revenue enhancement when they're out thicke asthieves on the interstate? In either case,
quotas put pressure on officers in takeaway time that would be better spent
an uninvestigating complex or violent crime.If we had any honest police listening,
who would verify that, yes,there's a quota system and the quote from

(01:28:15):
FOP lobbyist Mike Weinman is it reallydrives a wedge with the public. When
all you're doing is writing tickets tomeet a quota, You're not using professional
discretion anymore. And a lot ofthem are just used for revenue generation,
keep the mayor's courts afloat, oruse the money for other things. This
has been going on for years,and finally it's being addressed at the state

(01:28:41):
level in Ohio. I'd have towonder about the place where I live,
the Commonwealth of Kentucky that I'm alsodriving through five on three seven, four,
nine, fifty five hundred. Whatdo you know about quotas and writing
tick Do we have any ex lawenforcement listening one who can address this in
particular. I'm just curious because,like I said, I've talked directly to

(01:29:08):
police officers other places. I said, do you guys, do you guys
have quotas? Oh? No,No, we would never do that.
Mike Kello, how are you good? What do you know about quotas?
When you're calling all cops liars?That's kind of a little No. I
didn't call all you again you selectivelistening? I said the cops, I

(01:29:30):
said. I said, I haveasked cops are there quotas? And they
said no. And I said,and it was obvious that they were lying
about that. And I'm not sayingall cops. I've said the cops I've
asked, and they said, saying, all cops are buyers. No.
Not, that's what the speaker,that's what the listener would think. Okay,

(01:29:53):
well, I apologize if you gotthat that inference from what I said,
I wouldn't say. What I saidwas I asked a cop if there
were quotas and they said, oh, we don't do that. I said,
they were obviously lying to me becauseit was an Ohio cop. They
wouldn't be writing they wouldn't be proposingthe legislation unless there were quota systems being

(01:30:14):
used in Ohio. Mine. Okay, do you know what department that guy
that lied to you it worked for. No, it was in it was
in Cincinnati. It was it wasin Cincinnati. That does not mean that
that department that he works for hasquotas. Okay, all right, and
you're a are you telling me thatyou're a law enforcement officer and where you

(01:30:35):
were in the jurisdiction you work inthere are no quotas, correct, Okay,
well, and that's good, Butwhat do you think about the proposal
of the law. I agree withit. I agree with you one hundred
percent. But just the way youcome out saying that sounds like ups are
lying that they are quotas. AndI apologize I framed it that way.

(01:30:55):
I'm a friend of the police everysingle day of the week, Mike.
I agree, but that's just whyyou how it comes off. Okay,
well, I appreciate you setting mestraight, brother, I didn't mean to
come off that way. All right. He's out of there now. But
again, there are quotas, orthey wouldn't be proposing the law to ban

(01:31:19):
quotas. And again my inclination isto, of course, directly ask a
question and they tell me no.In their jurisdiction, they may not have
the quotas that are being addressed bythis proposal. But absolutely there shouldn't be

(01:31:44):
There should never be pressure on apolice officer to write a ticket or be
in the doghouse with their supervisor becausethey're not generating enough revenue. And I
got to tell you, I wishthere were some more tickets being written on
I seventy one coming up the superSpeedway to Kenwood, because you cannot go

(01:32:10):
under seventy miles an hour and notfeel like you're going to get run over
any second. Take a break.More more phone calls welcome. But if
you tell me, if you're alaw enforcement officer, you tell me that
you don't have quotas, I'll believeyou. But there wouldn't be proposed legislation
and a member who is a formerstate trooper sponsoring that legislation. If it

(01:32:34):
doesn't happen, capeche A breaking back. Fifty five KRC the talk station.

the wreck on Mitchell at the southboundseventy five rant. Chuck Ingram on fifty
five KRZ the talk station. Ifyou ask any law enforcement officer if there
are quotas, and in that jurisdictionthere are quotas, they're lying to you.
How's that, Mike? Is itbetter? Now? I'm the anti

(01:34:01):
police guy. I mean, youcall a cop a liar once, and
you call all cops liars. MOkay, there's a joke about that,
and it's the language. The wordingis different. But anyway, I've been
a supporter of law enforcement my entireon air career, even if they pulled

(01:34:28):
me over. So I'm sorry Igave you that idea, Joe during the
brakes going what is this anti copstuff? Man? What is this?
The buzz? The ticket quote hasought to be done away with where they
do exist, and they still doexist, in many jurisdictions in Ohio.

(01:34:53):
That's why it's called When we pointout where they are on the roads during
traffic breaks, we call it revenueenhancement, not necessarily keeping anyone safe.
Just like the DOI checkpoints, whichare they have to be according to the

(01:35:15):
Constitution, they have to be announcedbefore they happen, where they're going to
happen, and when they're going tohappen. Don't really do anything but ensnare
a few people who are point twotoo over the legal limit, and again
revenue enhancement. There are some DUIstops that absolutely save lives. Don't get

(01:35:39):
me wrong, however, less intrusioninto our personal lives. Arrest the criminals
and keep them in jail, please. The cops do the best they can
with what they've got and what they'regiven by the court system and prosecutors.
These days now, our justice systemhas begun just that, just us in

(01:36:06):
many cases because the same people committhe crime. Almost universal, it's recidivism,
and I know for police it's oneof the reasons that people don't want
to be in law enforcement anymore becausethey go and arrest the bad guys and
they're right back out on the street. It's a revolving door. I understand

(01:36:31):
the frustration there, but I tellyou what, and I will do this.
I will make a point to dothis today because I feel bad because
Mike called me all said that Icalled all cops liars. I will find
a law enforcement professional today. Iwill go out of my way to find
one and thank them for the thanklessmostly job that they do. As long

(01:36:55):
as they're not writing tickets to fulfilla quota to enrich the coffers of some
court or some mayor in some littlepodunk town, I will do that.
I will go out of my wayand hopefully the officers where I live will

(01:37:19):
enforce the fifteen mile an hour speedlimit on my little road and start writing
tickets there with kids and dogs andcars on both sides, and it's a
narrow street and people fly up itlike it's a racetrack. It's in Kentucky,
not Ohio. Don't get nervous,all right. Chris Smitherman, who

Gary, Jeff Walker in for BrianThomas, and real quickly before we
get to Chris smitheman, Jeff,you're there, and what's on your mind?

(01:39:30):
Hey, good morning, dear Jeff, Good morning. What's up?
Jeff? Yeah, I just hada quick comment regarding the justice system.
Yes, the problem is liberal judgesand their revolving doors and lenient Yeah.
Absolutely. And and for the police, that's got to be frustrating when they

(01:39:54):
see someone committing a criminal act andthey arrest said person, and then that
person goes through that revolving door systemand is back out in the streets committing
a criminal act again, you know, with impropriety, and it just keeps
on going. The recidivism rate ofcriminals that police will arrest, they will

(01:40:17):
tell you, is very high.It's about it's over ninety percent. I
believe the same people committing the samecrimes over and over again, and they're
only able to do that because theyare let out by a justice system that's
not interested in justice for the restof us. A guy who has been

(01:40:40):
working on achieving justice for all ofus for a long time standing by now,
and we're so glad to have ChrisSmitherman chime in on this Tuesday morning.
I'm super glad because I love theguy, have loved him for years
and he's always a great guest.Chris, good morning, how are you?

(01:41:02):
Hey? Brother? Good morning?Thanks for having me on the radio
with you. And I've been listeningto your show and like always, I
love it and I'm more informed havinglistened. I want to start off sharing
with you in my vent that asthe weather warms up, Gary Jack,
we know that across our country teenagersare no longer in school and they are

(01:41:28):
going out. They're in our cities, they're in our parks. Makes sense.
Here's the problem. Thirteen year olds, twelve year olds, ten year
olds, fourteen year olds should notbe on the street at ten, eleven,
twelve o'clock, one o'clock in themorning, agreed, And they are
creating major problems for our law enforcementofficers out here right who are trying to

(01:41:54):
keep our community safe. Parents outthere who are listening to this, you
are responsible for your child. Thepolice are not responsible for your child.
The teachers are not responsible for yourchildren. We are asking our police officers
to do so much every single day, and now we want them to be

(01:42:14):
mom and dad Herey Jeff, AndI'm really concerned because what happens with this
formula as it warms up, asthese young people are out, as they're
unsupervised, as these parents do notknow where their kids are. Now one
of our officers approaches one of them, they have a firearm in their hands
somewhere in the United States of America, and in a split second, that
officer has to make a decision ishe or she going to go home?

(01:42:39):
That officer takes for life. Andnow on Tuesday morning quarterbacking, we have
people protesting and tearing down and burningdown cities because parents didn't know where their
children are. And I'm starting offsaying, across this country, anybody listening
to me, know where your babiesare at all times. I have a

(01:43:00):
sixteen year old girl that I amraising. I know, Gary Jeff,
where she is at all times,not sometimes all times. I know where
my baby is because it is myresponsibility as her father, and I'm a
single dad, as a single dad, to know where my children are.
It is hard to have the appropriateamount of sympathy for a crying mother who's

(01:43:27):
thirteen or fourteen year old is gunneddown in an event like you described chris
By police because they had a firearm. They were out hanging with the wrong
crowd or with their friends at alate hour of the evening and they've got
a firearm. They're confronted by police. They do not know how to react
or act, and that could that'spart of the parenting part too. But

(01:43:54):
this mother who's crying about her babybeing her innocent baby being lost because a
police officer had to open fire andaccusing the police officer of doing something wrong
when they did not know where theirbaby was. As you just described,
it is hard. It is hard. It is hard to look. I

(01:44:17):
have deep sympathy for the loss.Yeah, the parent, But we are
responsible, as we are saying GaryJeff, to know where our children are
at all times. And I justcontinue to see this culture where we continue
to transfer the responsibility of whatever youfill in the blank right now we're talking
about law enforcement to being parents andbeing uncles in aunts. That's not what

(01:44:41):
they're out there to do, society. They're out there to keep us safe.
They're out there to make sure thatthey're serving and protecting and they deserve
the right to go home every day. And I'm just sharing with you.
If we don't enforce curfews across thiscountry, if parents are not on their
jobs making or where their babies are, this is going to be this recipe

(01:45:04):
for the conflict you just described,Gary Jeff. Somebody out there, some
young person is going to lose theirlife, and we'll be out here blaming
the police, not the parents,not society. That is a problem when
parents abdicate their responsibility and let thestate or try and force the state to

(01:45:26):
be responsible for their obligation, whetherit be in a criminal situation, whether
it be in education. This iswhy we've got, you know, the
state wanting to take over educating.This is why we've got public officials and
the president saying, you know,for eight hours a day, those kids

(01:45:49):
are hours. No, they're not. They're still those parents' kids. Just
because they're in your public school,they're still those parents' kids. And if
they're not making the grade, ifthey're not doing the work, if they're
not achieving, you can't lay thatall at the feet of the educators.

(01:46:12):
Some of the responsibility has to bein the hands and in fact, the
majority of the responsibility has to bein the hands of the parents for their
children, regardless of what circumstances situationyou're talking about, Chris, I absolutely
agree, and this pivots me tosay why I'm so interested in two particular

(01:46:34):
races in my own community in HamiltonCounty, And I suggest your listening audience
think about these positions and their communities. Who is your sheriff and who is
your prosecutor. Look, the prosecutor, as we've seen in New York can
overreach, right. We saw thisin in my opinion, in the case

(01:46:58):
against former President trum in Manhattan,where you have a prosecutor that can overreach.
Melissa Powers is running for reelection Garyjeff Here in Hamilton County, and
it is incredibly important that she bereelected as the Hamilton County prosecutor. And
it doesn't matter what your political affiliationis, it doesn't matter what your race

(01:47:21):
is. This is the top copin our county and her job is to
make sure that she prosecutes people,puts them in jail, who kill people,
who rob them, who rap them. And we have to have a
serious person in this position. Soit doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat,
doesn't matter whether you live in thesuburbs, it doesn't matter whether you're down

(01:47:42):
in the city. It doesn't matter. Vote for Melissa Powers sheriff, Jim
Neil running for sheriff. Look,he's not this polished politician. When you
hear Jim Neil talk, anybody justheard him talk would say yes, but
his heart is in the right position. He's going to make sure he enforces
the law and the constitution in ourarea. So I'm saying, I know

(01:48:04):
that your radio show is going long, big and broad all across this country,
but all of us have those twopositions. And I suggest people,
as they're looking at who they're goingto vote for president of the United States
of America, that they don't getlost Gary Jeff and not vote down the
whole ticket. Some people just goin and say, Man, I'm voting

(01:48:25):
for the president and I'm walking out. Don't do that. They're judges on
there, they're county prosecutors on there. There are sheriffs on there that are
running in your area. And I'msaying, in my vent, we must
educate voters to go prepare to vote, don't take the sample ballot, and
to vote down your entire ticket.Gary jeff Well, Chris Smitherman. That

(01:48:46):
is excellent advice. Hopefully it isheated by those who are listening and they
don't do what you're saying, andjust check the box for president and then
walk out of the booth. I'lltell you what, if you can wait
just a few minutes, can you? Can you do one more segment?
Chris absolutely as Chris Mithman on firethis morning on fifty five KRC the talk

(01:49:06):
stations. After a cool start thismorning, a pleasant afternoon, a head
sunshine and seventy five. We'll creepup another ten degrees tomorrow thereabouts, and
Thursday we're sunny and ninety one.Right now, I'll the latest check on
the roads. Here's Chuck Ingram.I'm fifty five KRS the talk station from

half hour out of Earlbunger into downtownwith an accident just before you get to
Kyle's where the left lane is blockedoff southbound seventy five. There's a wreck

(01:49:48):
on the shoulder near gab with southboundseventy one. An accident coming down at
Kenwood at the end of the MontgomeryRoad ramp. Chuck Ingram on fifty five
krs the talk station seven three onthis Tuesday morning, June eleventh, Gary
Jentle, Welcome with Chris Smitherman onthe line on the morning show. Chris,

(01:50:10):
back back at you, man,firing on all cylinders this morning.
So you're suggesting that people would votefor a sheriff, say in Hamilton County,
who does not lose track of hispersonal or a county vehicle or computer
or gun. Is that what you'resaying, sir, Yes, sir,
okay, yes, sir. Ithank you you're saying that, and that

(01:50:32):
we elect a person of high integritywho wants to follow our constitution and will
keep us all safe, no matterwhat part of the county we live in.
And that's why I'm supporting Sheriff JimNeil, good guy, good family
man, while has adopted two children, young children, good wonderful a husband,

(01:50:57):
just a good guy and so allaround. And that's where I'm awarding
him. So when people run intohim and they say they and they don't
feel this person who just has thisclear speech, stump speech that he gives,
I'm not into that. It's justlike I'm not into how a president
or how an elected official, whatthey're doing in their personal life. What
I'm interested in is their public policy. There's a difference between those things.

(01:51:21):
Not their personal not the pee forpersonal, but public policy. What I
see President Biden doing right now isan abomination. Right I happen to be
African American, I happen to livein the United States of America, and
I'm watching him pander to black voters. He's discovered the black community, Gary

(01:51:43):
Jeff. He's now saying, I'mgoing to Juneteenth. I'm now going to
historically back black colleges and universities.I'm now going to churches, Baptist churches.
Where has he been over the lastthree and a half years. We're
five months out for the election andhe's going bing ding ding, bingding bing.
Chris like most voted for me threeand a half years ago, and

(01:52:03):
I now need to talk to them. I now need to give them another
set of promises that I know I'mnot going to deliver on over the next
four years. You know what wecall that, We call that using you.
And so when people say to me, why is there a tickup in
African American voters voting for other candidatesother than President Biden, is because he

(01:52:25):
has failed us with his public policy, and those communities are raking up to
that reality. Stop pandering President Bidenand Democrats out there who are trying to
pimp out African Americans, stop it, deliver the public policy, and stop
trying to pimp our community out forvotes. Like most Democrats, Chris,
and I'm sorry to paint with thisbroad brush, but like most Democrats,

(01:52:47):
they just took it for granted.It goes all the way back to to
LBJ and his Great Society, whowas who was notoriously quoted for saying will
give them just enough, not enoughto make a difference, but enough that
they'll vote for us for the nexttwo hundred years. And Joe Biden and
many Democrats just take it for granted. They're automatically going to get the black

(01:53:13):
vote. As Joe said, ifyou don't vote for me, you ain't
black. How insulting. How insultingis that? That is so insulting.
And let me tell you as afact, look it up that President Biden
did the eulogy for Senator Robert Byrd, a klu Clutz Cram member grand wizard

(01:53:34):
in that served in the Senate.Can I tell you if there were any
presidential candidate who had given a eulogyfor a former klu Klutz Cram member,
right, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, they'd be talking about it every single
day. So I don't need Idon't know I need to have people coming
up and preaching to me about therecord of President Biden who stood against bussing.

(01:54:00):
My parents are from the south thatmy mother is from Montgomery, Alabama,
my father is from Birmingham, Alabama. We are a family that moved
from the South to the north.And here's the bottom line. It was
Senator Biden at that time who wasstanding against the interest of my grandfather.
He stood against the interest of mygreat grandfather. He stood against the interest

(01:54:23):
of my mother and my father asthey were trying to get better rights in
this country. It was Biden thatwas working with the Southern Democrats against their
interest at that time. I'm tiredof Democrats coming into my face and trying
to tell me that I got tovote for a guy who worked against the
interests of my grandfather and made himhave a worse life, not a better

(01:54:45):
life, Gary, Jeff, that'sthe reality. We've got to start talking
about Biden's fifty year record in thecitate, which guess what, he worked
against the interests of African Americans.And I'm sick and tired of him running
around telling Republican candidates that he's thegood guy and pushing race baiting, where
we've got to talk about a guywho did a eulogy for a ku Kluth
Tram member. There will be noone who comes behind me. No one

(01:55:10):
on this radio show will come behindme and say anything that I said to
you this morning is false. Hesponsored mouth clothes, He sponsored the nineteen
ninety crime bill that ensured that AfricanAmericans would be incarcerated for drug crimes more
than more than white people convicted ofthe same crime. He did that.

(01:55:33):
He did all of the things thatyou said, and it's Joe Biden.
His legacy is that of actually literallykeeping people in chains, as he accused
others of so don't ask anybody.White African American men are turning their back

(01:55:53):
at Morehouse when he's giving the commitmentspeech because they understand that this is a
guy that had a career of lockingup up by over criminalizing crack cocaine over
powder cocaine. We understand who theguy is. So when people are like,
oh wow, why are African Americanmen kind of thinking about other candidates,
is because we understand. We're smart, we're intelligent, we read,

(01:56:16):
we understand who Biden is. Andtheir people say, I cannot vote for
somebody who spent a career locking meup and giving me more time with the
bill, the crime bill that you'retalking about. All people have to do
is just google it. Look inconclusion, here's what people are talking about,
Gary Jeff in the last minute orso we have. They're talking about inflation.

(01:56:38):
Man. Rents are up across thiscountry over twenty percent. Energy costs
are up over thirty eight percent.Basic pet food if you got a cat
a dog is up twenty three percent. It doesn't matter what your rates is.
You feel that when you go toyour supermarket and you're trying to make
it make the decision of whether you'regoing to pay your rent, whether you're

(01:56:59):
gonna buy medicine, whether you're goingto pay your house now, whether you're
going to go out and put fuelin your car. People are under attack
financially in this country, and that'sgoing to be the discussion. What you
see President Biden doing right now istrying to distract us from the reality that
we're living in like the matrix,which pill do you want to take?
But I can tell you every timeI fill up my take, every time

(01:57:23):
I go to a grocery store,every time I'm trying to buy anything,
and I'm trying to make a decisionabout what program I can put my daughter
in this summer so that she hasa nice summer. Can we go to
the amusement park? Can I affordthose things? I know that everything is
going through the roof, and Iguarantee you on November fifth, people will
be voting their pocketbook, not allthis race bating, silly conversation that the

(01:57:46):
President is trying to bate us into have stay focused on what matters to
us. I want to be ableto raise my family in the greatest country
in the world at a fair price, and right now that's not happening.
Chris Smith, your lips to God'sears and to all of ours, and
thank you so much. Brother.Follow me on Twitter at vote Smitherman or

Hitchcock. We're responsible for a lotof great soft rock number one hits like
this one a man alone. Getmy head on the phone thinking of you
till it until it hurts. Ilove you had too, but what a's

eleventh is your birthday, I hopeit is the best day possible and you
get to spend it with people thatyou love doing the things that you like

(01:59:16):
to do. Gary Jeff Walker infor Brian Thomas, and in this half
hour being joined by one of myfavorite people in the Bluegrass in the Commonwealth.
I mean, my wife is first, she's in the Commonwealth in the
brew Brooksy the cat Dog is rightup at the top of the list too,
But after you get past that,Savannah Maddox, she is right at

(01:59:43):
least top five, top ten,and I love talking to her because she's
so well versed on so many topics, especially when it comes to taking care
of the taxpayer and the constituent inNorthern Kentucky where she is a member of
the Kentucky House of Representative. Savannah, good morning, How are you?
Good morning, Gary, Jeff.I'm doing great, and it's always the

(02:00:03):
privilege to be on and have thechance to speak with you. And I'm
sorry if I put Brooksy the CatDog ahead of you, but you know,
I have to live with him likeI live with my wife, so
you understand the pecking order there.I absolutely do so not in legislative session
obviously right now, but there areall kinds of things being planned for the

(02:00:26):
next session, and I want toknow where the Republican Party is in the
Commonwealth. After the primaries that happenedin May. So give me a kind
of a broad picture of where we'reheaded Savannah for the next legislative session and
where the Conservatives are in the Commonwealth. Well, we just got out of

(02:00:51):
a very contentious primary season in whichthe political establishment spent well over eight hundred
thousand dollars it is actually closer toa million dollars trying to defeat rock solid
conservative Republicans in the state House.So, needless to say, there has

(02:01:12):
been somewhat of a battle for theheart of the Republican Party. What that's
going to look like moving forward interms of public policy initiatives that we pursue.
And I feel as though we prevailedbecause we held every one of our
seats that we were fighting for andalso had some pickups in terms of TJ.

(02:01:32):
Roberts in the sixty six South Sister, So I'm pretty optimistic on that
front. So the ones that weredefended, can you name those fine people,
and we're glad that they will begoing forward on the full ballot November.
Who are they? Yes, SteveDoan and Northern Kentucky had a primary
as well as Mary Ann Proctor.To our south, we had Felicia Rayburn

(02:01:57):
and Henry County, as well asCandy Mazaroni and Nelson County. And also
Steve Rawlings was running for the Senate, but the political establishment came at him,
just as hard TJ. Roberts wasrunning for ed Matthew Seeden. I
had a primary challenger as well,although I was very blessed to prevail with
eighty three percent of the vote.Also Bill Wesley out in eastern Kentucky.

(02:02:20):
He was an incumbent that had quitea bit of money spent against him.
Those are the names that come tomind. Oh and one of the pickups
that was somewhat surprising to a lotof folks because the political established that spent
a lot of money trying to defendKillian Timmony in the forty fifth House district

(02:02:40):
and he was defeated as an incumbent. So a lot of friendly fire going
on, so to speak, withinthe GOP. And again though I'm optimistic
about the direction we're headed. Ilive in the fourth district there in Southgate
and Rachel Roberts obviously did not runthis time. Who is you know,
sat in that seat, the Democratwho's sat in that seat, who is

(02:03:05):
not one of my favorite political candidates, to say the least. But the
person that is going to be opposingthe Republican there again, stands a pretty
good chance of retaining that fourth districtseat because it's right along the river and
there are a lot of a lotof liberal Democrats in that particular district.

(02:03:30):
What are the chances for the Republican, if at all, to take that
fourth district seat, Savannah. Ihaven't studied that particular seat. I know
that and I believe you're referring tothat the Democrat Matthew Lamb, and I
know that he will be well funded. So anytime that we're talking about one
of those seats that is, youknow, more purple, Obviously it could

(02:03:56):
come down the money in many instances. But as far as the Publican candidate,
I haven't studied that one very closely. But I think that one of
the things that I would emphasize interms of our Republican supermajority is, you
know, up to this point,folks have spent a lot of time talking
about the fact that we have asuper super majority eighty seats out of one

(02:04:19):
hundred in the state House. Itmay even be eighty one. Now it's
hard for me to keep up with. But long story short, that is
not the most important thing if youdon't have a super majority of conservatives.
So you know a lot of folksare intent on playing the red shirt versus
blue shirt game. Well let's getthis seat, let's get this seat.

(02:04:39):
But in reality, the larger thesupermajority gets, the harder it is to
pass good conservative constitutional legislation because leadershiphas a bunch of rank and file members
that they can twist arms and relyon to pass the bad stuff and to
stop the good stuff. So,you know, give me a supermajority,

(02:05:00):
but what good are you doing ifit's not constitutional? Conservers? Well,
yeah, And the thing is theother side can say, well, you
had a supermajority and you didn't dothis for your constituents, so what was
the point? And they can usethat actually as an electioneering tool the next
time. Right, absolutely, therewere only sixty one of US Republicans in

(02:05:24):
the House whenever we passed constitutional carryto that filed back in twenty eighteen.
Yet we've not passed any meaningful SecondAmendment legislation since that time, even with
the supermajority of eighty so and alsoa lot of folks have said, well,
under the Republican supermajority, there's beena new series of taxes created on

(02:05:45):
service taxes. You know that thereare all kinds of things to say,
well, are Republicans making good onthe trust that Kentuckians have put into them?
And I think that those are alot of the questions that were answered
by the results of this primary.But you know, the challenge now is
to translate that into good public policy. Well, I mean after getting you

(02:06:09):
know, the concealed carry or thewithout without a permit, Savannah, in
Kentucky, you don't have to havea permit. I mean you have to
obviously have to I guess go throughthe federal hoops, but Kentucky does not
require you to have a permit forcarry conceal. What other Second Amendment pieces

(02:06:30):
of legislation would you be interested in? You mentioned they haven't passed anything else
significant. What else would be onSavannah mannis list? If any? Well,
lowering the constitutional carryage to eighteen it'sa big deal because there have been
in the judiciary several cases since wepassed constitutional carry, which essentially said,

(02:06:51):
if you're eighteen, your constitutional rightsstill apply. You need not be twenty
one. So that's something that wedefinitely need to do. I mean,
that's a no brainer to me.I wanted it to be a team when
we passed it. But also,you know, understanding that ninety six percent
of these mass casually tragedies, massshootings, if you will, occur in

(02:07:12):
so called gun free zones where thecitizens have been rendered defenseless against the unthinkable.
We need to abolish these so calledgun free zones. So that's something
that I've been focusing on. Butyou know, overall, the goal for
me, in addition to lowering taxes, so forth, so on, is
to take these folks who have beennewly elected and the ones that we retained,

(02:07:33):
and to continue to direct the RepublicanParty into strict adherence to the platform
and the principles of limited government ofcourse the Constitution, and to really fight
for what I expect Kentucky's voters haveput their trust in them For Savannah Mannix,

(02:07:53):
I would like just a few moreminutes with you on the other side
of this break, and then Iwill let you go and resume whatever you
had planned for this morning besides talkingto me and and our listeners. But
if you can just hold through areal quick break. Can you do that?
Absolutely? All right? Savannah Matticsis our guest for the next few

But I'm not seeing a huge delayedAgain by Chuck ingramont fifty five k R
and see the talk station and forthe next few minutes again our guest is
Savannah Maddox was a member of theKentucky House of Representatives, and our guest

(02:09:22):
Savannah, after I got over thehorror of the fact that Andy Basheer got
re elected last fall to the governor'sship in Kentucky, and it's kind of
to many people have foregone conclusion.And you mentioned, of course, all
of the outside or the money thatwas spent on primary challengers for many rock

(02:09:46):
solid conservatives in the primaries just passed. There is a tendency, sadly for
people to forget what has been donein their names by particularly by this governor,
you know, and the lockdowns duringCOVID and him playing follow the leader

(02:10:09):
with other unconstitutional I believe mandates thatwere called out and shut downs and lockdowns
and all of the things that allof us endured at one point or another,
to one extent or another during thatparticular awful time. Now people are
being held accountable, including Anthony Faucion the national level, and Governor Andrew

(02:10:35):
Cuomo, who sent thousands of peopleto their deaths by sending sick people into
nursing homes, will have to answerquestions will there ever be any accountability for
the things that Andy Basher did toKentuckians, in other words, violating their
First Amendment freedom of religion and allthe other things that happened. It just

(02:10:58):
seems people have short memories about thatstuff, or he wouldn't be sitting in
the governor's office now thankfully he's turnedout. He can't run again. What
do you see as the future forKentucky's governor's office? And do you think
that we will see someone who maybeis less dictatorial and power mad as the

(02:11:24):
man I call the boy dictator.It is my hope that Kentuckians will have
learned our lesson overall, not justin terms of re electing Andy Basheer,
but to me it should have beenfundamentally obvious with the mandates, shutdowns and
so forth so on, but alsoin terms of the way that that particular

(02:11:50):
election was run in the general election, and that I feel as though the
Republican candidate failed to mobilize the conservativebase across the Commonwealth, and that failure
to mobilize and energize those voters reallyrelates to the fact that our candidate moderated

(02:12:11):
in the general election. And youknow, I understand that there is the
propensity to want to bring over swingvoters, independent, so forth, so
on in a general election, butnot at the peril of losing Conservatives.
And again, I think that getsback to the battle for the heart of
the Republican Party and the direction thatwe're taking. You mentioned Andy Basheer.

(02:12:37):
I think that it's fair to talkabout a well known concepts as the uniparty
because speaking of Andy Bisheer, thatreminded me of all of the money.
You know, the Jefferson County TeachersAssociation spent a bunch of money trying to
reelect Andy Basheer, and they succeededat doing so. Those same folks filled

(02:12:58):
in the coffers of these Republicans,so called Republican candidates that I was telling
you about earlier, that they weretrying to beat these good, solid incumbents.
So when it gets down to it, I think that we should be
asking ourselves have things changed that muchsince we took the supermajority and in what

(02:13:18):
ways do we look different than thenineteen ninety three Democrats in Kentucky. You
know a lot of those folks wouldtell you that their pro life, They
would tell you that their pro SecondAmendment but they still maintained that tax and
spend mentality that has been so pervasivefor so long in Frankfort. What kind
of you mentioned taxes looking after thenext legislative session, what kind of taxes

(02:13:43):
do you hope we can eliminate orreduce in the Bluegrass Savannah. Well,
unfortunately, just a few weeks ago, House leadership came out and did a
press release saying that they have essentiallydecided that it's time to stall out lowering
the end come tax, or thatthe desire to lower it or the will

(02:14:03):
to lower it no longer exists withinour majority, in so much as they've
also been incrementally applying new service taxesthirty five one time, eighteen another.
But I want to continue to lowerthat income tax and also property taxes.
I've never met anyone that said thatthey were not taxed enough. So obviously

(02:14:24):
we need to lower those taxes.But also we have to cut spending because
that's the problem. Yeah, theyhave failed. They say that they can't
lower the income. But whenever you'renot willing to eliminate those stacred cows in
the budget or you know, putthem out the pasture, then it's hard
to endeavor in tax reform, soit has to be revenue negative. I'm

(02:14:46):
in favor of no state income taxlike Tennessee like. I think that a
user tax, like increasing the salestaxes is much fairer for every because it's
voluntary at that point. And Iknow we'll probably never see that in the
Commonwealth the way that you're describing thetax structure right now and the current sentiment.

(02:15:11):
But you can always dream, can'tyou. Uh. Savannah Maddox,
thank you, Thank you so muchfor taking the time to chat with us
this morning. Enjoyed it as allwas. Thank you so much. It's
a pleasure, all right. Moreahead, in fact, we're taking a
road trip in in just a fewminutes with a man named Jimmy James.

(02:15:31):

the talk station, um me,hey go five cans again. One of

(02:16:48):
those interviews I've been looking forward toa long long time. The Great American
Road Trip rolls on now with JimmyJames. Who was Jimmy James. Well,
he was an executive for years,a corporate executive, and he traveled
the country, and he loves travelingthe country because we're such a wonderful,

(02:17:11):
diverse land of all kinds of resources, and all kinds of geography, and
all kinds of wonderful people. Init, and he enjoyed that so much
that when he retired, based onGolf Digests list of the top one hundred
golf courses in this country, hedecided to play them all. And now

(02:17:37):
he is back after this daunting taskthat I'm sure was a ball. We're
going to get into that with abrand new book called Playing from the Rough.
It is out this week, availableeverywhere. If you're a golfer,
if you like to travel, ifyou just like some great stories from the
road, this is a book youshould have. And Jimmy James joins us

(02:18:00):
now as our guest. Hello,Jimmy, how are you? I am
doing very well, very well.Gary. How are you happy to be
on the show. It's great tohave you. And I wanted to ask
you first. Was there a timewhen you were traveling as you were with

(02:18:20):
Exxon Mobil? Is that correct?That's correct? Okay, you were with
Exon Mobile. Was there a timeyou thought about anything like this before you
retired? Did you say, yeah, maybe someday, it's on my bucket
list. I'm going to go playgolf at all the best courses around the
country. Do you ever think aboutit? Then? No, not really,

(02:18:43):
I did think about reconnecting with thecountry, because when I was younger,
I traveled a lot, just personally, driving through as much of the
country as I could, stopping insmall towns, taking back roads, stopping
and talking to people. So whatI thought about was going across the country

(02:19:05):
playing golf as private courses and publiccourses, private courses with friends and public
courses with strangers, just to reconnectwith the country. That I thought about.
It was only after my wife gaveme a book by John Sabino,
who played at the world top onehundred courses, that I converted that to,

(02:19:28):
well, if I'm going to travelacross the country and play golf,
why not just play at the verybest clubs in the country. I bet
no one has ever played the tophundred courses in the country in a single
year, So why don't I dothat? So you got to tell me.
I don't want to spoil any partof the book, Jimmy, but

(02:19:50):
tell me about augusta magical, mysticalevery blade of grass it's perfect. And
we could talk about my background,but I grew up in poverty. I
grew up at my early earliest years, I lived in a chat with a

(02:20:13):
tin roof, no plumbing, noelectricity. What we ate, we either
grew raised or kills and so hereI am at Augusta National. And for
me it was a person who wasborn into a world that lacked almost everything

(02:20:37):
to find myself standing in a worldthat lacked almost nothing. That's hard to
pat them that gap. Yeah,between the two. So I was in
awe driving down, riding down MagnoliaLane with the overarching magnolia trees, pretty

(02:21:00):
you straight toward that Antebellum clubhouse withthe wrap around porch and square columns.
It's just surreal. And then whenyou're actually walking the grounds of Augusta National,
swinging a golf club, a puttingor it's it's hard to believe you're
actually here. And so for meit was like, wow, I'm in

(02:21:22):
awe. You know, professional golferswhen they go to Augusta, they're in
awe. Imagine someone whose life startedlike mine being at Augusta and the place
is everything is, every blade ofgrass is in its place. It's like

(02:21:43):
the vivids fill themselves in. It'sit's a special, magical place and words
I think don't do enough to adequatelydescribe it. Television doesn't do it justice.
It's a beautiful place, but it'smade beautiful by all the people working
there to make it, including thegroundskeepers, the people, the staff in

(02:22:11):
the clubhouse, all of the lockerroom staff. The whole experience at Augusta,
from the time you meet the guardat the gate to the time you
say goodbye to him when you're leaving, is all well done. Well.
This is a great American road trip. Jimmy James, the book is playing
from the rough. Did you personallydrive to all these places? Did you

(02:22:33):
fly in places? Sometimes because thedriving is what I get. What I
glean from what you're saying is thegreat part of taking a road trip,
you know. But how often didyou drive to the destination? So I
flew roughly seventy three thousand miles,oh wow, and drove about eighteen thousand

(02:22:58):
miles. Some of the best drivesI took Western Maryland, the mountains,
the Low Mountains in Western Maryland beautiful, the Allegheny Mountains in Mountain Range in

(02:23:20):
Pennsylvania. Driving from I drove froma New Jersey playing at Baltistral two courses
upper and Lower, both in thetop hundred. Spectacular Tillinghouse courses, the
first dual championship courses built simultaneously,and I drove from there to Liganeer in

(02:23:43):
western Pennsylvania, where Laurel Valley is, and then I was supposed to fly
from Pittsburgh to Washington Dallies and thento Atlanta. I called an audible.
I did this in twenty seventeen totwenty eighteen. Nourral Valley is very close

(02:24:07):
to Shanksville, where those brave Americans, when our way of life was attacked,
gave their life to protect the restof the country. They didn't know
where that plane was going, butthey stayed whoever the people were. And

(02:24:28):
I wanted to go by Shanksville andsee the memorial that was being built there.
The only thing that was there atthe time was the Wall of Names.
The visitor center wasn't there yet,and the Tower of Voices wasn't there
yet. And just over Memorial Day, my wife and I made a trip
back to Shanksville to see the restof the monument. But rather than flying

(02:24:52):
from Pittsburgh to Washington Dallas, Ichose to drive. After I finished playing
on a farmer's course there at LaurelValley Country Club. I wish we had
more time to drive. I wishwe had more time, Jimmy, but
I really appreciate your time. Itwas hard to get this interview kind of

(02:25:13):
connected, but I'm glad we did. And again, God bless you and
good luck with the book. Greatsuccess Playing from the Rough by Jimmy James

(02:26:22):
a tribute to Jimmy Buffett Sponge Gig. That's right, the Coral Reefer band
watching the Sunday is doing a summerlong tribute all of us service have to
our friend, the late parrothead JimmyBuffett called Keep the Party Going on my

(02:26:43):
front horse. Be just over twoyears since Buffett's last appearance here in Cincinnati,
So just so as you know,way again you want to put that
stuff on again and grab your shirts, your head gear and get ready to

(02:27:09):
do it all over again in honorof mister Buffet. On a Tuesday morning,
Carrie Jeffin for Brian Thomas five onethree hundred. Wade has been waiting
patiently and we get to him now. Wade, what's on your mind this
morning? Gary? I'm sure youand I are old enough to remember a

(02:27:31):
couple of events. First of all, Joe Biden calling Donald Trump a convicted
felon is like Tanya Harding calling NancyCarrott and a crippled skater. Dude,
You're not fooling anybody. You're youorchestrated it. And when America sees you,
anybody on TV saying convicted fellon,they see giant donkey, You're shooting

(02:27:52):
up out of the back of yourhead, you know. But the other
event is when we threw Jimmy Carterout of office, nice guy, but
economy was in shambles. The worldwas laughing at us. I'm curious what
you see is his similarities or differencesbetween that and the time that we hopefully

(02:28:16):
throw this latest clown out of Well, it's vastly different. It's similar on
a couple of counts, and it'svastly different on a couple of other counts.
The way it's different is that JimmyCarter was a nice man and remained
to be a nice man after heleft office. Joe Biden has never been
a nice man. He may havebeen perceived that way, he may have

(02:28:37):
been presented that way, advertised thatway. There's been nothing about Joe Biden's
fifty years in Washington that says heis a quote unquote nice man. He
may be grandfatherly to some people.He may be interpreted by Robert Hurr,
who did the special investigation into hisobvious cognitive produce problems with that report in

(02:29:03):
saying that you know, no onewould, no one would prosecute this elderly
nice man. There's nothing nice aboutJoe Biden, there never has been.
That's different. The other thing that'sdifferent is in in nineteen eighty we still
had fair and free elections. Twentytwenty prove that we do not. Now.

(02:29:31):
What's similar is the populism that Reagan, you know, engendered and encouraged
and drew people to him. DonaldTrump has this. I'm not saying Donald
Trump is Ronald Reagan, but I'msaying he has this populous vibe. In
fact, I think Donald Trump istwice as electric as Ronald Reagan was on

(02:29:52):
the campaign trail. And that's sayingsomething. Quite. That's quite saying something
to compare the two and their charisma, their obvious charisma. I think Donald
Trump is even more electric than RonaldReagan. Reagan was the first president I
voted for in nineteen eighty they justpassed the law where eighteen year olds could

(02:30:15):
vote. I was nineteen and Ivoted for Dutch and I voted for him
again in nineteen eighty four, andwas always proud that I had I voted
for Donald Trump in twenty sixteen.I voted for him in twenty twenty.
I think that Donald Trump actually wonby somewhat of a landslide in twenty twenty,
but we were cheated out of that. It wasn't Donald Trump was cheated.

(02:30:37):
America was cheated out of a presidencyin favor of President Obama's third term,
which is what we're living through rightnow. So there are similarities and
there are differences. Obviously, theeconomy being in shambles and foreign affairs being
what they are today courtesy of theBiden administration. This has all been careful

(02:31:00):
orchestrated to take America down. Thisis part two of Obama's apology tour that
is now denigrated into just this disasterthat we are all watching play out in
front of us. There was absolutelyzero reason that Donald Trump shouldn't win with
three hundred electoral votes in November.We will see. Yeah, yeah,

(02:31:24):
I agree, I agree. Ithink Biden is evil, vindictive, and
a Catholic who gave up Catholicism forLent. You know, he just doesn't
doesn't stand for anything he believes.You know, they're a priest that will
not offer him the sacraments of Communionbecause of his stance on abortion alone.

(02:31:46):
And I can't believe America would standby while a political opponent is loaded into
a cattle car and sent off toa goolog Even Trump haters I know might
vote for him just to just tomake a stand and say no, not
going to be Waite. We're notgoing to be that kind of country.
I hope Waite. This Biden JusticeDepartment is responsible for throwing seventy something grandmothers

(02:32:09):
in prison for praying in front ofan abortion clinic. Meanwhile, the protesters
run amok in Lafayette Park and desecratethe statue of Rochambeau and committing a felony
and aren't being arrested right or evenaccosted by police. There you go,

(02:32:30):

break and we'll come back for onemore segment. If Mike wants to hold

As we close out this morning,one more call from five one,
three, seven four nine fifty fivehundred. Mike has been waiting patiently,

(02:33:35):
which I appreciate. Mike, what'son your mind as we close the show
today? Hi, Chef thinks Iwas torn a little earlier between Collie and
not after the last caller. Ihad a couple of points I wanted death.
Maybe make sure I'm old enough toremember a couple of things. Certainly

(02:34:01):
Jimmy Carter's presidency. I fear theremight be a little bit of revision as
history going on. As far ashow nice he was, uh, certainly
by comparison relative to Joe Biden,no argument. I remember that guy has

(02:34:22):
a really bitter uh you know fellowsfor quite a while after he left office,
they made a deal, you know, quite a big deal about his
habitat for humanity efforts and all that, and that that's fine, that's legit.
But if you go back, youcan find a lot of things.

(02:34:48):
Excuse he's on record as having saidbetween Ronald Reagan, uh, George Bush
one and two and certainly Trump,just vitriolic and really really bitter old man
stuff. And I'm I'm glad thatthere's been some redemption and all of that

(02:35:13):
with him. I think he Ido think in these last years he's been
saying the right things and all thatstuff. Oh No, No, he
was always he was always particularly partisanand and you know, a Democrat hacked.
There's no question about that. Yeah, that's really my only point.
I didn't want it to pass withoutpeople remembering, you know, the reality

(02:35:41):
and some of the stuff, orat least what he was saying about that
was really really not good and inparticularly in light of what he did to
the country. Yeah, you knowback in the seventies. The other thing
is your earlier having some family dannand Kentucky. Are you talking about the

(02:36:05):
as you described the disaster of Andythe Sheer. I share that sentiment with
you, but I don't think I'veheard anything as far as the million of
Matt and Leman and why we gotto hear the year now in the forum
of Andy Mattleman was at the youknow, at the end of it all.

(02:36:30):
Really the reason a lot of typicallyconservative voters and everything, and particularly
conservative teachers they crossed the line andput Andy the Sher in office. And
that's what we're living with right now. Well, they crossed the line because,
uh, they're a slave to theteachers Union, which does not represent

(02:36:52):
uh, I think good teachers,and it doesn't represent parents. I'm just,
uh, I'm at a loss asto why why conservative teachers would cross
the line and vote for Andy Basher. But again, I guess it all

(02:37:13):
comes down to the pocketbook and whatthey can get out of the commonwealth,
out of the government. Let's askbackwards many times. Tim Hale, a
January sixth survivor, people think NancyPelosi is a January sixth survivor. No,

(02:37:35):
the real survivors are the ones thatspent three years in jail for exhibiting
constitutional rights to redress issues with thegovernment. Tim Hale will join us bright
and nearly at six o'clock tomorrow.Have a wonderful rest of the day,
and thank you for putting up withme Again. Gary Jeffin for Brian Thomas
